For a Limited Time, Roleplay with the Worst Roleplayer Ever!

[Embers]

Hi, guys, it's a miracle: I have actual intentions of role playing this season! (cue audience gasp) Yesiree, it's an honest-to-god thought I had the other day. Why don't I role play on my role playing website? So here is my offering to my fellow role players.

chronicle | biography

This is Hespera, my sorely underused character. So underused, I've only completed a single thread with her in the past three seasons. (cue a second audience gasp) Mhm, bring on the shame.

My issue is that Hesp is a difficult character to role play. What makes her interesting is mostly internal, so her interactions with other characters prove somewhat dull. She is preoccupied with the idea of control. In order to cope with the fact that life can be random and lack meaning, she has fabricated a series of rules and stipulations that she abides by. Essentially, she has taken it upon herself to assign meaning to things that should not be meaningful. She likes to make interpretations about what certain colors indicate, how weather patterns can allude to future events, or how sighting certain objects can bring good or bad luck. All of these assertions are, of course, completely baseless. These thoughts simply occur to her, and she treats them with an almost religious reverence. She displays obsessive compulsive behavior, and is fixated on counting things; she is particularly adverse to odd numbers. Hesp will try to impose her beliefs on others, but would likely not become aggressive, only dismissive. Her speech patterns are distracted and somewhat erratic, and others may have difficulty following her line of thought in a conversation.

I'm interested in starting a thread with one other person. I'm trying to get back into the groove of things, and threads with many characters might be a tad overwhelming. I'm asking potential role playing partners to consider two things:

1) A strong-willed character might provide a more interesting role play between characters. Hesp needs to be acted upon because she's not one to initiate much action. It might benefit us to plan something beforehand, because I wouldn't want to keep someone stuck in a boring thread.

2) I'm better matched with slower role players. I tend not to post rapidly. I'm impressed with myself if I post twice in one day. I try to be diligent so I don't stop up anyone's thread slots, but if you're looking for a quick commitment, I might disappoint you, haha.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is all I have for you today. If anyone would like to take me up one this not-so-great offer to role play, I will be stunned be happy to start a thread whenever you like. Take care, guys.

Hello,

Meet Chyrie. To begin her demeanor is calm, in some eyes a stone wall. In truth, this is not true at all. Inside she does feel emotions, but they are abnormally weak. Even sympathy or a caring emotion is not a very strong one, but feelings build over time. Because of her exterior the child holds in her emotions, bottling them up. But like a bottle of soda they fizz, and once a limit is reached the or the bottle is shaken the top can blast off and spill the contents. Outbursts and tears usually follow, maybe even a touch of rage. On these occasions she will try to escape and explode in private, but if somehow this is prevented or she is confronted the poor canine can do nothing to hold in her feelings any longer.

She also is very quick to trust, and has a deep sense of respect for most she meets. Even an obvious enemy can gain her trust and respect, so this can be quite a dangerous trait. To those she respects this is one of the few times emotion is shone; admiration. And finally she loves to be herself, and for others to do the same. She believes of an aura inside everyone, one that is pure at birth. But if you begin changing yourself influenced by insults or anything negative that may cause change you will taint the aura. One thing she strives for is keeping her own aura pure, and when personality is mentioned in any conversation it will leave Chyrie wondering if her's has remained pure. Sometimes one of her outbursts will be fueled by panic, thinking her aura has been tainted. It shows how deeply the lass believes in this.

- - -

As for the strong-willed trait she is very young, so like any other child has a bit of stubbornness and boldness. So she would probably be the one to greet first, and possibly strike up the conversation. However not much emotion, mostly weak ones, may be shown if shown at all. There could be a situation where Chyrie is about to 'explode' and Hespera could be there to witness this from a distance or be the unlucky one who was 'there' and will now have to face her bottled up emotions? I would be fine with most plots, friends, enemies, or whatever. In fact she would probably be interested in interpretations, and they could connect over Chyrie's own of auras and being yourself?

"1) A strong-willed character might provide a more interesting role play between characters. Hesp needs to be acted upon because she's not one to initiate much action. It might benefit us to plan something beforehand, because I wouldn't want to keep someone stuck in a boring thread."

Little Something To Consider Before Considering Apssedy

Apssedy is brand spakin new and I've never had a character mute before so this is sorta an experiment for me. I like to challenge myself with complicated characters. I have a character with multiple personality disorder (5 different characters meshed in one to where the host forgets everything once an alter is switched, but the alters remember every detail), I have a double agent who has to be undercover within his pack and he can be himself when interacting with another spy. So Apssedy is sorta my fun quirky character and really excited about her. But I have to figure out how to find her writing style, which means tampering with POV and tenses. So at first it might be a little slower than usual because she's a new concept and I'm still getting used to the idea of this world lol

Strong-Willed

Apssedy is one feline to act first in most cases, as her curiosity and inquisitive mind takes over her initial actions. She is stubborn, confident, and once a thought is set in her mind she will do anything relinquish the idea.Because she cannot talk, she tends to be touchy, a physical talker in some cases, when gestured communication seems to not achieve it's purpose.

Mindset

Her mind is as sharp as her reflexes. As odd as she is with her mannerisms, her mindset is highly fascinating. She contemplates on the mysteries of life and approaches them in a nonfactual manner.  She considers the impossible in something as simple as the fact that she's a mute. She believes the idea that her voice was misplaced or stolen by a creature that resides in the world who's purpose is to collect voices. Her belief is this world has many more mysteries than what meets the eye. This is her reasoning to thinking the way she does. It is not ignorance but an over-active imagination put to use in defining this world's mysteries. She feels some ideas are given to her, when the thought is placed in her mind, such as the voice thief. Other ideas, she find "evidence" and exhaust all options. She does not form these mysteries on everything and is knowledgeable enough to accept that some things are just the way they are. Even though most ideas are conjured up from her over-active imagination does not mean there is a possibility of these ideas coming to life. Afterall, this is a false world.  If she could talk, she would barrage others with questions that they may not have the answers to or not have ever thought on the subject before. Her mind holds deep inquisitive thinking, questions and stipulations unsolved by herself and others. She is unaware that many do not take these questions further.

Interactions

I could see Hespera and Apssedy being a peculiar pair of acquaintances. Even though Hespera's conversations prove dull to others, I don't think that would be the case with Apssedy. Since she cannot talk it would be Hespera that would do all the talking, which I think would be a good change in things. It would force Hespera to focus more on what she says to communicate to the mute. Maybe even help her improve when it comes to social interaction and encouraging Hespera to be more assertive and make first move in things. Addressing Hespera's line of thought, Apssedy is quick to pick up things and once subjected to spending quite some time around Hespera she could probably understand her unusual way of thinking, seeing as Apssedy too has an unusual mindset.

Plot Beforehand

Does Hespera have an age or did you freeze her in a cryo tube while she was inactive? Not that age matters really...but since Apssedy has yet to be born, there might be a immature side. I'm not sure how Herspera reacts to that. Speaking of not being born ^^ Why not start off with an Orchard introduction. Hespera could discover Apssedy from her pod, maybe? Then...the whole mute comes into play, a curious anomaly with that interaction. The whole discovering the world experience. I think that would be a good start. Then from there we can determine how compatible they are and what situations might prove comical or growing in their character.

"2) I'm better matched with slower role players. I tend not to post rapidly. I'm impressed with myself if I post twice in one day. I try to be diligent so I don't stop up anyone's thread slots, but if you're looking for a quick commitment, I might disappoint you, haha."

Some things you should know: I plan on having only one character and this is she. One character because I want to focus all my energy and muse on her and I've never tried this before so it proved a challenge. I also do not think I would have time to play more than one (currently) and didn't want to take more than I could handle. And I really just want to focus my character with one other character and maybe some side threads. Having multiple threads right now would be too much currently. If the iou's start building up.

 It takes me a long time to post things, so I wouldn't mind the slow pace replies and I prefer posts not to be replied to too fast because the longer a post is worked on, the better it turns out and the more a person can think on how to respond to the reply ^^ I'm surprised if I post two days in a row...I work really intense on my posts so it takes at least two days to write it up.  I usually post around 2 replies per week depending on the person, maybe 4 at the most if muse is going good (this is including multiple threads). Basically I pace myself the same rate my roleplay partner is going. In the past I have not really had fast roleplay situation, meaning 1 post every day, so I think that's also why my pace is really slow. If the pace is consistent like 1 post every 2 or 3 days then I think I could keep up with that. We'll just have to see, that is if my character is selected.

I am a slow roleplayer that's for sure, but I think my detailed posts make up for the time loss. I try my best not to wait too long to post because I work on my replay almost every day, but stop writing and posting is a different thing all together. The only time I don't post is when I get caught in writers block, which happens sometimes, or things in RL prevent me from focusing on the thread. In which I would contact the person I'm roleplaying with, if I feel I won't be able to post that week. I have a constant communication when I have a thread with people, so I know when they're going to post and tell them when i'm going to post. I also like to keep a todo list on the things I owe. But I think I'm rambling xD.

Thanks for responding, guys! I like both Chyrie and Apssedy a lot, so I'd love to do separate threads with both of you.

Rue, I like the idea of Hespera facing Chyrie's bottled up emotions -- I think that has a lot of room for an interesting thread. Hespera would probably be very fascinated by this show of emotions, so I think we can go a lot of places with that. If you still have an open thread slot, do you have a board in mind where you'd like to begin?

Josie, Apssedy is a really peculiar character, and I think that her and Hespera would be a fun pair to role play. Her muteness ought to provide a lot of intrigue in the thread, and I think that will keep their interaction from growing dull. I intend to pass a short amount of time from Hespera's last thread to now, so for all intents and purposes, Hesp is perhaps a few weeks old, perhaps a month or so. I would be totally willing to do an Orchard thread if you're still interested. ^^

That sounds great, and very efficient as now I can finally get her to discover the outbursts IC. As for a board I would prefer the orchard, as Chyrie is still trying to explore the whole Orchard. However if you'd like I could make a traveling thread and we could do it somewhere on layer two?

[Embers]

The Orchard is fine by me. Would you like to start, or shall I? You wouldn't have to make a traveling thread to get to layer two since it's adjacent to the Orchard, by the way. That'd only be necessary if you were trying to, let's say, reach a layer three board from the Orchard.

[Deleted]

Ah, that's convenient.
Could you make it? If not I would gladly do it.

[Embers]

Sure thing, I'll start that right now.
