The Basics. [02/11/21]
Timezone. I'm on the West Coast (PST) and while I generally have a bit of time on my hands I'm in school as well so I won't be on all of the time.

Description. I want to emphasize that I strive to have character depth in storylines. Nothing frustrates me more than playing opposite a two dimensional character who simply screams for no reason or constantly wants sex. That being said, I will NOT play opposite a victim type character. Motivations may be hidden and character behavior may be odd at times in a storyline, which is to be expected and makes it all the more interesting, but there should be a reason behind this.

Play. I prefer slash or platonic lines. I will play out het but only as the female and only if the line is particularly interesting. I also enjoy storylines that revolve around relatives: siblings, parents and children, cousins. I will play out incest lines, but I realize that isn't everyone's interest and I have to emphasize that I really enjoy playing out relationships between families in whatever setting they are put in without any sort of sexual conduct. Specifically, single parent and children lines are extremely interesting for me as are siblings with an age gap. I think platonic family relationships make for an interesting dynamic that is typically not appreciated in roleplay.

As for fluff, while I think storylines certainly should not be completely dark, I will not play out a line that is solely fluff. I find it boring.

Threading. I prefer threading at the moment. If it’s easier for the other player I can also use email or GoogleDocs. I do have AIM but I save that for plotting out lines as I generally have too much schoolwork at night to consistently reply to AIM scenes.

PSLs. At the moment I’m looking for private storylines. They can be a small group (3-6) but I’m really not interested in communities as they die off too quickly. That being said, I do join communities but I generally find them on my own. So unless it’s an exceedingly interesting community that has been established for a few months, please don’t comment with any community names.

Characters. Listed below are my preferences though I am in no way closed to any other ideas. I'm not fond of scene PBs in general, though there could be an exception if it fit a character, but other than that I'm pretty open. My only quirk in characters is that I prefer to play the younger character. And in darker lines where I am playing the more dominant character I feel it makes it all the more interesting. This isn't to say I will only play the younger of the two characters, it simply means I prefer it.

Storylines [02/10/21]
Storylines.
I love storylines that are out of the ordinary, I cannot stress this enough. If you ask me to play out a boy meets girl (or boy) line, they fight, they fall in love, I will honestly tell you to look elsewhere. The same goes for storylines that involve abuse where the other character is simply a weeping victim, rape, and any other prevalent and overplayed storyline around. I will, however, play extremely dark lines. As said before, the only thing I require with dark lines is character depth and development, it makes the experience all the more enjoyable.

Currently, I don't have any specific lines up. I have ideas for many of the themes and I very much love plotting with others.

Themes.
• Period pieces (I generally prefer Renaissance to the early 1900s, but would love an Emperor Nero line)
• Supernatural (magic, ghosts, haunted houses, possessions, vampires that do not sparkle, etc.)
• Fantasy
• Science Fiction (deep space, aliens, and the like)
• Super powers
• Post apocalyptic
• Angels & demons
• Family struggles (single parent, siblings with absent/addicted parents, etc.)
• Horror (murder, serial killers, etc.)
• Psychological issues (both psychological thrillers or psychological disorders)
• Criminals
• Organized Crime (mafia - particularly 1920s, Irish gangs, etc.)
• Abuse (drug use, domestic violence)
• Dark (incest)
This is not an exhaustive list but gives an idea of what I play out. Feel free to suggest something even if not on the list.
