        Putting answers from ( this meme ) under a read more! 
Tumblr media
@tornbetweenthestorm​, @lastxdragon​ 🔥 What is your hottest take on your fandom?
        Off to a hot start, I reckon. I’ll be honest, I’ve been a part of some crazy fandoms before (Marvel, Bleach, and Final Fantasy most notably) so there’s not a lot that the Star Wars fandom does that really seems all that unique to me? It’s quite literally the same cake with different frosting at this point.
Just like every other fandom I’ve been in, there’s always going to be that one character that’s turned into a meme, the Group Mom, or the Gay Chef. I see it all the time so I can’t be bothered to start in on that - I’m tired. 
But, just like all the other fandoms, there’s the drama and the dash pettiness. I’ve seen that too, so it’s not terribly unique either. 
I know this is probably going in circles but there’s always going to be some kind of drama when you’re doing something social and yes, RP is a social activity. Even if we’re here writing and making connections with our characters, we’re still making friends and interacting with people that we’ve likely never met before. I’ve been RPing on Tumblr for well over four years and I keep seeing all of this happen over and over again. 
So I guess my hottest take would be this: I won’t tell anyone what they must do but I will say that there is always a light in the dark somewhere. Funny coming from a Kylo Ren writer, I know, but there’s a chance for everyone. You have to remember that the people who are behind these blogs are human - that doesn’t mean that you have to go out of your way to be nice but I only ask that you’re civil and make good decisions.
I’m not trying to make myself out to be the SW RPC Dad or anything but I want everyone to be happy and safe. That’s all I want.
@lastxdragon​, @affcgato​ 💔 Have you ever been jealous of a ship, group, plot, that wasn’t yours?
        Recently, no. But there was a time when I was younger that I was, so yes. I was around fifteen RPing on VampireFreaks in the forums and I got super jealous of a ship during an OC RP and I won’t lie, I made an ass of myself. Because of my temper and my inability to control myself at the time, I lost a great friend and I’ve not gotten to talk to them since. That entire situation was 100% my fault.
@mvltis​ 💋 Do you think those that ERP are not as good at role playing than those that don’t?
        Nope. ERP (erotic roleplay), or smut, is simply not something I’m interested in doing myself. I don’t mind when other people do it on the dash. Anyone who can do it and find new ways to make it fun and creative are definitely good at what they’re doing, so I have absolutely no right to be upset about it or find it repulsive. 
@cielcrd​ 😳 Do you believe that if the muse is bad, the mun is bad as well?
        Absolutely fucking not. I’ve said it before in other fandoms and I’ll say it again - just because someone writes a villain or anti-hero character does not mean that the writer is a bad person. 
On that note, I don’t think there are bad people but I do think that people make really fucking bad decisions. It’s up to those people to become aware of their behavior and correct it, whether that’s on their own or with the help of others. 
However, these characters are just that characters. As roleplayers, we have the right to make a canon character be as we’d like them to be. That means if someone wants to take their Anakin blog and completely rehaul the character as they want to, then that’s fine and I’m down for it. 
The thing that gets me is that people have these hero characters and give them villainous verses but that doesn’t make the writer a bad person does it? No. So why does writing a villain make the writer a bad person too? Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. 
@affcgato​ 🚫Are there blogs you just won’t follow or characters you won’t interact with?
        Blogs: Yes. There’s blogs that have personally triggering things on them that I won’t follow and that’s okay. It only means that it’s not for me. There are some I avoid for other reasons as well, mainly relating to whether the owner has done something against me or my friends - in that case, I tend to block. Out of everything there is, I’m highly loyal to the people that I choose to keep around me.
        Characters: Hm. Not really? The only characters that I won’t follow are the ones that I don’t see Kylo/Ben interacting with. Winnie the Pooh or other characters similar like Lion King or other talking animals are ones that I don’t typically follow. As for my own fandom, the only ones I don’t follow are the ones I don’t know exist yet.
@aequusjedi​ 😒 Have you disliked a person/muse that everyone else loved?
        Person: Yes. There’s been many times that I’ve disliked another mun for various reasons. I’m usually quiet about it because if it’s a personal issue, then that’s one thing and that’s my thing. The only difference is usually the people that I know for a fact are abusive are the ones that I warn the people I care for about. If I mention it on the dash, it’s serious and I want people to be safe, no other reason. I don’t care for witch hunts and I don’t care for purposefully causing issues - I don’t like repeating myself so I only warn once because I feel that’s all that’s needed.
        Muse: Yes. Right now, I can think of about ten muses that I don’t care for anymore. Almost all of them are from previous fandoms that I’ve been in. Some of them have serious reactions from me and others are far lighter. It’s another thing I don’t think about or mention either because I feel that since it’s a personal issue of mine, it’s not that serious. At least, not serious enough to bother others with.

“Oh… really? And since when did you become in charge of fate bringing folks to us? It is not as if we get a choice of who we want or don’t want that are brought here… perhaps there is a reason why you were brought here… and not an alternative worse place” Vigos had plenty of those who uttered such statements as if being brought to his realm was some type of punishment.* “you were brought here to be given a second chance at life.”

how do you decide who to follow? do you have any blogs you find you’re drawn to? what’s one fandom you wished there was more of?
Well... I try to follow Roleplayer blogs mainly. As far as the fandoms.. it ranges, but most are ones that I feel I can do an actual roleplay in... There are quite a few. The biggest ones that I do the most RP in are:
Neltharion would probably be mostly World of Warcraft stuff
Vigos being an Original Character can be part of:
World of Warcraft (or similar fantasy stuff league of legends, Zelda stuff, maybe Final fantasy if a connection can be made with characters, etc)
Stargate/Star trek/Star Wars (space fantasy stuff! Farscape, Starcraft, Dr. Who, etc)
Supernatural, ghostbusters, (if relatable: buffy, angel, etc)
Comic related stuff from Marvel/ Dc in their infinite AUs and all the shows, movies with them. The Power Ranger stuff.
———————————
As far as what I’d love to see more of:
Stargate.
(Muses I have: Apophis, Ba’al, Anubis, Michael (Sga))
Ghostbuster (movie, comic, or cartoon) the most.
(Muses: Boogieman, Idulnas, Janosz)
Power Rangers (any season)
(Muses: Lord Zedd)
More range of characters in:
Star Wars, supernatural, world of Warcraft, and a lot of the other ones. It is generally saddening to see certain fandoms die off as a whole.
———————————
I’ll probably add more as I remember them :) I will try to make something work plotting wise

Bruce frowned once having been fixed up by the others as he poked his head around the corner nervously to Vigos. "I...was told to come see you?"
“Well were you or not? If you weren’t we’d be curious as why you’d come anyways” Vigos tilted his head at first* .. And what might we be able to do for you, since you did come all this way?”

A Wild Hunt for Roleplay
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I’ll keep it short and sweet for my introduction. I am Fenry, but you may address me as Fen. Obviously this is not my real name but I would like to keep a pseudonym as my identity until I get to know my partner better. 


I am 25 years and that means adult themes and topics will be included
Female Over 10 years of roleplaying experience
A masters graduate
And I live in CET, Europe
Prefers doubling, though I can make exceptions
We can exchange more information once I’ve received your message. I love talking outside of the Roleplay for some brainstorming and plotting for the story. Plus, making new friends never hurts.
Now to the actual topic what I am looking for in a partner.
Please read before you message me!
Thank you.


My roleplaying partner must be above the age of 18, preferably 20+. 
I don’t care which gender honestly, as long as the Roleplay and friendship is good I am all for it. Contact me with a small introduction. Tell me about yourself, what you’re ideas are, how long you’ve been writing and your limits. I want to know more about you, assess your character before we move to anything else. It would otherwise come off as impersonal. 


The qualities I prefer in an RP buddy are: 

Mature
Dedicated
Detailed
Literate
Frequent (which doesn’t mean that you need to send me 5 messages per day. 2-3 times per week is absolutely fine since I am not able to respond as much either)
Flexible
We all have real, social lives outside of the roleplaying world. I understand when you’re not able to reply as fast all of the time, because it is not much different for me either. I will try to respond at least 4-5 times a week. If it’s a good week, my replying rate will increase depending on the given situation. If there’s work ahead or any sort of obstacle that might get in the way of our exchange, I will let you know as soon as I possibly can! I promise you this! 
But I also hope you do the same when there’s something that might cause a hiatus.



I am looking for LONGTERM and CONTINUOS Roleplays! My partner should be very committed because otherwise, it wouldn’t make a lot of sense and we might as well drop it.




When it comes to my writing style and preferences, I will list these things here for you to read.
Writing: I am a multi-paragraph sort of writer, which means that frequently, my writing will exceed at least 500 words, and upward of 1000+ words. I love detail in description, and I am actively seeking someone of the same infamy. Generally, I tend to write in the 3rd person. I’ve also tested the waters of 1st person but found it fairly awkward, if not, jarring so I’d rather keep it with 3rd person.
Pairings: I openly play characters of both genders, preferable m x f pairings, but I am open to m x m and f x f relationships as well. I have more experience with m x f relationships, so I might excel in this category more than I would do with the others. However, like I said, do not let this deter you. Very much open to other sexual orientations and preferences. Romance and intimate erotic scenes are always a part of the story, so if you are someone who prefers fading to black, I am afraid to tell you that my request isn’t something for you. This is not negotiable, sorry.
Genres: I am versatile when it comes to genres and settings that I like to play in. Supernatural is my absolute jam, especially urban and gothic fantasy, maybe even a bit of mythology as well? 
Anything involving vampires, werewolves, demons, witches, shape shifters, aliens, mutants, other urban creature of folklore, given some sort of modern day spun, is absolutely perfect for me. I also really love science fiction in its many forms. Primarily, I take my sci-fi craving inspirations from Star Wars, Mass Effect, and even Destiny (even though I did not really enjoy the games…). Another genre that I’ve vast interest in includes that of the superhero genre. I’m a big fan of both Marvel and DC fandom, and the concept of having humans with abilities, anything of that short would be awesome to do. Against, these would be with original characters on my part. I’m not as fond of general real-life or general modern day genres and themes without a good, complex idea attached to it.
Characters: Faceclaims, GIFs, drawings, mood boards or just a plain physical description is absolutely welcome / sufficient. I am not someone who necessarily needs a face claim for a character in order ‘to get the picture’. There are many instances where I could not find a suiting match for my character’s definition, so I resorted to drawing them myself or leaving it with a simple description. 
Characters should have flaws - that is a no brainer obviously, since nobody likes a Mary Sue / Gary Stu - but also some unique traits that make them stand out and remain memorable. I take inspiration from JK Rowling or George R.R. Martin for example as each of their character remains very unique and unforgettable in my opinion. They definitely did something right and I want to emulate that, so don’t be afraid to be rather bold with your character creation. Let your imagination run wild and surprise me with your ideas!
World building & plotting: An active roleplayer is wanted in this category, without a doubt. I love to world-build, but I tend to lose interest when I am the only one who puts in the effort into it. I can’t do the thinking for two people, so I implore you to at least share the burden (which should not be regarded as such because roleplaying is a fun hobby and nothing more). Too often I find people shying away from it in this regard. If I feel that I’m carrying the weight of the world-building part with specific ideas, I will end the Roleplay in immediately. And consider that the world building is just the tip of the beginning, so from that, I’ll be able to see whether we’ll be a match or not. Because we’d be starting from scratch with whatever we do, it would be a big relief to have someone who doesn’t mind letting ideas flow to set up the universe that we will be roleplaying in.
Content: I find writing erotic, dramatic or action packed scenes very enjoyable. I don’t hinder myself when certain subjects are mentioned that may be uncomfortable for the general public. But then again, as a reminder, a Roleplay is not reality but fiction. For example situations that heavily imply and involve brutality, mayhem, psychological and physical torture are things that need exploration.
Characters should be fully fleshed out, even the not so pretty parts of one’s personality and actions. There is no black and white, but a wide ranging spectrum of grey areas. A story does not always end well and life is never fair, so to implement this into a Roleplay, it would make a fantastic and very exciting story. Nothing is ever certain, people have their ups and downs… we shouldn’t make an exception here. I am not afraid to delve into even more sinister areas such as psychological trauma if its needed to further the story. I want to be as transparent as I possibly can. I have very few limits. The only subjects I will not touch, or rather avoid are heavy graphic rape scenes, bestiality, necrophilia and pedophilia. Other than that everything is fair game. What I also find quite fascinating is describing someone’s mental as well as physical transformation, ascending to a higher or lower state of being, etc. The process of metamorphosis, may it be the manipulation or corruption of someone… it all is quite eerie and at the same time, intriguing. It all leads to the progression of the story, so be warned that we won’t be walking on egg shells here. 

The story will not be solely centred on dark themes. I love me a mixture of everything, including drama, fluff, angst, action, comedy, romance, adventure, mystery and so forth.

Let’s lighten up a bit, kay? :)
The ones I’ve marked in bold are the ones I am currently itching for the most.



Original plots I am absolutely craving for are:



Genres:

anything mafia related
crimes in remote locations
small towns and supernatural happenings
post apocalyptic/dystopia
supernatural/modern fantasy (demons and devils, monster x hunter)
southern/mid western gothic
murder mystery (small town or big city)
modern/dark fairy tale retellings
sci-fi/cyberpunk
emotionally charged/dark and gritty
superpowers/gifted
unresolved sexual tension/slow burn
mythology
redemption
action
Pairings:
age gaps (non pedophiliac)
friend x best friend’s older sibling
enemies to lovers
cop x criminal
friends turned lovers/pining
grumpy x sunshine
dark hearted man melting for the innocent woman
reunited old lovers and/or friends
boss x employee
neighbours
mentor x mentee
hitman x victim
hurt/comfort
height differences
pet names
rich x poor (or noble and peasant / different social classes)
The Fandoms I am willing to do, although I prefer to make something original:
Films & television:
Marvel cinematic universe
Pacific Rim
Castlevania
Game of Thrones
Riverdale
Young Justice
Voltron
Constantine
Harry Potter
Star Wars
Games:
Witcher III
Devil May Cry
Bayonetta
God of War
Star Wars
Dark Souls
My Roleplaying platform is mostly on email or google docs! I also would like to keep in touch with my partner over a different medium, preferably Discord.

 To contact me use these links here:

DISCORD: Fenry#4086

Find me there.
Here are two passwords that you can use in the headline so I know what you want to role-play.

*For ORIGINAL Roleplay, the password is:  Follow me and you shall be
free *For CANON Roleplay, the password is: I will follow you until the end
I know, very original… haha xD
 But anyways, I hope I am lucky enough to find my longterm RP buddy here. 
 Till then, thank you for your time! See you soon <3

What’s something you like about how you write?
I am really good at some sad bullshit. I can write that sad bullshit and make people sad. 
What’s something you dislike about how you write or wish you were better at?
i need to have everything worked out before i even start. i can’t just start writing, i need to figure out how people are feeling, what they’re doing - and to some extent i need to be in that mood too. i’ve also noticed i reuse stuff??? phrases and metaphors and stuff i kind of have a tendency to reuse them in different replies over and over again. 
What’s something about your character that you’d like if you had to spend time with them?
they can all get drugs. 
Tumblr media
nah but seriously, they can sesh, and so can i. write what you know. 
also, i’m gonna put the rest under a cut
What’s something about your character that you wouldn’t like if you had to spend time with them?
When you meet people who are deep in that kind of shit, like crime, you’ve always got this like defense up. like you can’t relax or anything and when i’m like that irl i go quiet. like i wouldn’t speak to them unless i knew that they weren’t going to kick my ass.  
What’s a negative thing about your character that you enjoy writing?
… literally everything????? their addictions and how they manifest, their shit choices, everything is fucked up and i just love that shit. 
What;s a similarly you have with your character?
There’s little elements of me in all of them, really. Jimmy’s unbelievably loyal to the point of stupidity, Brad’s a deep thinker and a bit of a tink (like uh, i suppose the american word would be hick???) -dirty- i mean, Zoe’s a worrier and Little Jake’s genuine, Frankie’s got my humor and Jack, well, Jack’s just a fucking nutter. Kayleigh’s the mam friend too, which i’m totally not but i don’t have much in common with her. 
What’s a difference you have with your character?
i’m not a murderer
 What’s the hardest thing for you to write?
uuuuuuhhhhhhh i suppose it’s a question of style. and by that i mean i can’t write victorian era shit convincingly. 
Do you think you’ve gotten better at writing anything or any type of thing or situation since you started writing this character (or roleplaying in general)?
fuccin hope so
Why do you roleplay?
i write but i’ve not got the resolve to write a novel
Do you write fiction ever other than rping?
Trying to write a novel but it’s uh… difficult to pay attention
Do you like fanfiction more or less than reading rp threads between characters?
Less. never been big into fanfiction. 
Do you like or dislike OC/Canon character interactions in principle?
the way i’ve always seen it is in a canon’s universe there’re people they’ve not met yet. there’s nothing to say that that OC isn’t in that particular universe, we’ve just not seen them yet. it’s weirder when they’re inserted into the main characters backstory but yeah. So long as there’s been some thought put into it sure, go for it. plus i love throwing my team at canon characters.
What’s your favorite thing about rping a canon character?
putting your own spin on shit’s pretty cool. like i roleplayed deadpool for a while, which meant i got to use my off-kilter humor, whilst also breaking the fourth wall and commenting on how my version of deadpool had fallen into self parody. 
What’s something you dislike about rping a canon character?
is it just me or are “”””fandoms”””” very socially conscious to the point of it inflicting on the actual roleplay??? like deadpool’s a bad guy (in theory), but i was afraid to actually do anything despicable because i saw other people getting lynched for it. the last thing i want is to be DoS’d because deadpool made a joke about feminists
What’s your favorite thing about rping an original character?
FREEDOM AND THE COMMUNITY IS MUCH NICER. plus like, most communities of rp go dead whenever there isn’t media to consume, the OC community just keeps on ticking 
What’s something you dislike about rping an original character?
i had about 1000 followers on deadpool, 400 here and i’ve had both blogs about the same amount of time. you do have to make a far bigger push to get people interested. 
How much time do you spend roleplaying on average a week?
Not counting weekends probably like about 7 hours???
Do you think about your threads and your character when you aren’t roleplaying? How and for how long on average?
i should probably state that the novel i’m trying to write is jimmy’s story, so yeah i’m often thinking of ideas of where to take the crew and shit, which obviously has a knock on effect to this blog. i also think of replies, but always forget what i was going to write. 
Do you like lots of headcanons or few?
to me, headcanons are just things that EVERYONE should be doing tbh. it’s a writing exercise really, so yeah, even if you don’t throw them out there all the time you gotta be thinking about the day-to-day little details tbh
 What’s your take on AUs?
OK in moderation. It goes back to my kind of issue with the amount of detail i need to put in. like if i shifted jimmy into the star wars universe how would that change his life? what kind of man would he be in that setting? if i put him into Marvel would he of even became a criminal? 
What’s your favorite AU?
my christmas verse where Jimmy fed the real santa LSD and had to commandeer the sleigh in an attempt to deliver presents except he’s hammered. That, or maybe the high-school verse
What’s your least favorite AU?
as stated, anything that would drastically change the characters stories. 
What’s a ship you really like rping?
im just gonna tag @morelikxevil here. 
What’s a ship you would never rp? For what reason?
Spiderpool. Until very recently Spider-man hated Deadpool, and even then Deadpool’s sexuality hasn’t been consistent across writers. i tend to avoid that kind of drama. 
What do you like about roleplaying angst?
E V E R Y T H I N G
What do you dislike about roleplaying angst?
Have you ever had a real angsty argument/conversation? that shit fizzles out and leaves everything awkward as hell. happens in rp too
What do you like about roleplaying fluff?
when you make your characters happy it gives you a great opportunity to fuck them up even more. 
What do you dislike about roleplaying fluff?
It can get too much sometimes. as in if ALL i’m rping is fluff stuff across the board i would actually go insane. it’s alright in small doses, but i prefer it when Frankie’s kirb-stomping fools. Plus, it isn’t really my characters??? they’re understated in the romance department. 
What do you like about roleplaying ships/romance? 
it’s EXCITING!!!!! especially when it first starts!!! like you’re like woah jimmy how u gonna fuck this up!!!!!
What do you dislike about roleplaying ships/romance?
There’s going to come a point when it’s going to shift gears into something else, like, it’s kind of the same complaint with fluff except with romance/ships it’s a lot easier to kind of move it on. like jimmy could’ve been TRYING to be romantic but they got interrupted, with fluff, the entire focus tends to be on the fluff. 
NSFW rp — yes or no? Why?
Yes, but it’s weird. like… the fuck am i supposed to call a dick? what about a pussy? it feels weird calling them a penis and a vagina, it feels weird calling them a dick and a pussy, it feels equally weird calling them “manhood” or “… flower???” i get fucked up by the logistics of actually writing smut in a genuine manner. like i tend to write dirty shit outwith rp in a very… uh… weird way. like nobody’s writhing around having multiple orgasms, and tbh i rarely write foreplay in much detail either, so like when i’m having to for threads i’m kinda out of my element a bit bc you don’t know what you can or can’t write.
Do you ever read other people’s NSFW rp threads? (be honest!)
if it’s under a read more i don’t bother, if like i’m scrolling and i notice it then yeah i’d probably read it. 
Do you ever read rp threads you aren’t involved in? What type of thread does it usually have to be to interest you?
Only if it’s two characters i’ve already interacted with. find that pretty interesting like, these people are all in the same universe and they don’t know they all know each other. 
If you do read threads you aren’t in, do you usually let the other authors know, or keep it under your hat?
Never really mentioned it but y’know, it’s just not something i’ve ever felt the need to say to someone
Has a roleplayer ever changed your view on a character? If so, how? Good or bad? For better or for worse?
Nah, not really. there is a big disconnect in my head between the actual media the characters from and another persons interpretation of that character. 
Do you like to title threads or not?
In my head, yeah, like i think that’s the mark of a good thread when you can sum it up in your head. like “oh i need to reply to the fighty thread” 
Do you like to plot or improv?
Improv mostly and i feel like i am literally the only person who prefers improv over plot. like i prefer vague plots and when i say vague i mean like “Jimmy and so&so fight ____” 
Do you like to make open starters?
Opens are my way of saying “i don’t want to do drafts but i still want to write” tbh, OR i post one before i do drafts.
Do you like to answer open starters?
… i think i’ve only ever let like, a handful of opens pass me by tbh. i’m usually like, on opens in two seconds
Do you usually prefer chat/short replies, or long/para/novella replies?
Hrm. I like both, through the week you’re more likely to get chat/short stuff out of me, but on weekends i’ll do medium-to-short mostly. long stuff scares me tbh, like i know i probably could do it, but a lot of what i do on here is mood dependent, which is why i’m not a good writer. like i really do need to be in the right headspace to do anything on here. 
What’s your favorite thing about rping a chat/short style thread?
It’s quick, it’s literally like going on autopilot tbh but at the same time you can use all the development you’ve came up with to figure out what they’re saying. 
What’s your least favorite thing about rping a chat/short style thread?
Nothing really except from the fact that it’s like, it has no effect on the characters really. Like big, long threads usually means there’s a lot going on, if there’s nothing going on except from two people chatting then they’re not going to be heavily effected. 
What’s your favorite thing about rping a long/para/novella style thread?
SHITS GOIN DOWN, OH FUCK ANOTHER TWIST, ANOTHER TURN, OH FUCK THAT GUY’S DEAD OH SHIT WHO’S THIS FUCKER
What’s your least favorite thing about rping a long/para/novella style thread?
it takes… so much out of me. actually having to use my brain? psht, that’ll stay in my drafts for at least a month
Do you prefer gifs or icons when roleplaying? Or no FC at all?
Icons but i don’t mind gifs. i’ve also found if i don’t use an icon i’ll put more detail into description. icons are basically shorthand so i don’t have to put much description into what they look like. 
Do you roleplay with people whose characters aren’t from the same dimentional universe as yours? (For example, if your character is drawn or anime, will you RP with people who use actor face claims/play-bys?)
Won’t do anime, don’t really like it tbh, everything else is game, like i’m following a rick from rick and morty right now and i wouldn’t care if they used a cartoon fc. i would probably try to match them actually, like maybe use archer as jimmy or something. 
What’s something you like about FCs/Play-Bys?
i use really specific FCs like, Brad isn’t just Brad Pitt, he’s Brad Pitt from specifically fight club. Frankie isn’t just James Macavoy, he’s James Macavoy from Filth. 
What’s something you dislike about FCs/Play-Bys?
Molly’s the odd one out. don’t think i’ve quite cracked her yet. 
What’s a trope or plot you think is overdone in roleplay?
uuuuhhhhh…. i’ve never noticed something coming up more than once or twice tbh
What’s a trope or plot you’ll never get sick of roleplaying?
x character’s a bad person, A character’s a good person, X perverses A somehow. 
What do you like to do as you reply to threads? Listen to music? Have TV on? Complete silence? Dark room? etc.
Have to have music on matching the theme of whatever I’m writing. 
How did you learn about roleplaying? How did you get started roleplaying yourself?
Don’t really remember. Think i just started doing it??? 
What was your first roleplay character?
Deadpool
What’s your newest roleplay character?
Uuuuuhhhhhhh, probably Alex/Bruce?
What/Who is a character you think you would like to roleplay? What’s currently stopping you from roleplaying them?
Swamp-Thing. Considering converting my Man-Thing blog into the Swamp-Thing lately. 
Who’s a roleplayer (or writer) you think you have learned a lot from?
Alan Moore, Rick Remender, Stan Lee.

≡ MOBILE NAVIGATION ≡
This post contains key information for potential and new players. It contains our rules, character follow list, player application, and more.
RULES
General:
FightAsOne is a mature group. No one under the age of eighteen will be permitted to join. This rule will not be negotiated or lowered.
NSFW posts should always be placed under a cut. Certain things like extreme violence, anything related to sexual assault and drug use need to be tagged with an appropriate trigger warning (ex: tw: drug use, cw: body horror)
This is a closed community. Interaction with characters outside of the FightAsOne group with your in-game character blog is not allowed.
Please make sure you follow all characters on the Follow List.
Follow the group’s main blog.
Track the tags listed here. You will also be required to follow any main plot or subplot tags as they are developed.
Read through the group’s Current Plot. Make yourself aware of the group’s Previous Plots.
We regularly use Discord for plotting big events and have an ongoing, casual group chat. Ask a mod for access if you are interested in joining.
Group Relations:
Stage One: Approach the player OOC - whether through Discord or Tumblr’s various means of private communication - and attempt to resolve the issue at hand.
Stage Two: If after approaching the player in question, the matter absolutely cannot be resolved on a player-to-player basis, alert the mods for assistance. We ask that you please provide a brief summary of your issue; to create an unbiased viewpoint, we will also contact any other players involved to hear their side as well. A Discord chat will be held with the involved players and the mods in an attempt to guide the discussion to a mutually acceptable compromise. The mods will not assist in any OOC issue unless Stage One has first been attempted.
Stage Three: If a resolution cannot be made after going through the previous two steps, the mods will decide on the best possible outcome and will inform both players as to the decision. Determining factors that affect these moderated decisions will be, first and foremost, the overall benefit to the group, the group’s current plot, and the involved players’ behavior throughout the resolution process. Decisions made by the mods in these scenarios are final and will not be rehashed for future debate.
Activity:
This is an action-oriented roleplay. There will be times when you are asked to be present for a certain plot. Generally, you will be given notice weeks prior to the event you are needed for. If you are unable to be present for a plot, notify the mods ahead of time.
Should you decide to leave the group while playing a character who is heavily involved in plot related threads, you must contact those involved within your plot threads to work out a resolution prior to your unfollow notice being posted. A mod will assist if need be.
We’re extremely liberal when it comes to a lot of things, but one rule we actively enforce is our activity requirement. Only fourteen days of unannounced inactivity will be tolerated. If you are unable to post, will be busy, need to go on a temporary hiatus, or will be unavailable for any amount of time, we ask that you send a notice via ask box.
Six weeks is the maximum amount of time given for hiatuses. Regular OOC chat activity while on hiatus will be considered a sign that the hiatus is over and activity checks will resume as normal. Should a player take frequent hiatuses, they will lose one week of time for each consecutive hiatus (for example: Person A takes a six week hiatus, comes back for two weeks, and takes another hiatus; they will only get five weeks of hiatus time). This rule will apply for anyone who comes back from a hiatus and isn’t consistently active for at least six weeks.
After two weeks of unannounced inactivity, you will be placed on activity notice.
There is a two-strike policy in place here at FightAsOne. If you have been placed on activity notice a total of two separate times (equating to a month of unexplained absence), you will be asked to give up your spot due to inconsistency.
Following a week of consistent activity for a character holding either one or two activity notice strikes, an existing strike for that character will be removed.
If a player is consistently on activity notice but avoiding strikes by making single posts at the cut off time (consistently gaining and losing strikes), they will be asked to post a minimum of three in-character threads before the next check date. If the player fails to do so, they will be asked to give up their character due to inconsistent activity. This rule is designed to prevent abuse of our activity policy and prevent character camping.
We require that players be at least four weeks active on each character they play before picking up another. This is to ensure player activity as well to grant opportunity for new players to join the game.
There is a maximum of four characters per player. Only two of your characters can be Avengers.
Players who pick up a villain as a secondary character may have that character exempt from activity notice as long as their main characters remain off notice. Players may NOT pick up a villain without having some idea as to the direction they are going to take the character (whether this is with a certain character/group of characters or picking up a villain for plot purposes).
Bold/italicize memes, ooc meme replies, photos or gifsets, and text reblogs/character musing reblogs do not count as player activity. Only on dash threads, starters, writing prompt memes, or character headcanon/analysis writing prompts will count as character activity.

Have fun and don’t forget to submit plots!
☆ Character Application (example):
Character: Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier
Faceclaim: Sebastian Stan
OOC Name (pronouns): Sarah (she/her/hers)
Age: 27
Timezone: EST
Activity Level: Daily
Pairings/Ships: Open
2 or more headcanons: (Use what’s in the character’s bio (if applicable) as the character’s canon and view the group’s previous plots for reference. Take the information and form at least 2 headcanons that you will include in your interpretation of the character.)
2 or more ambitions for the future: (We want to know what character arcs you want for your character should you be accepted. These can be goals you have in mind, a direction you want to develop the character, or a subplot you’d be interested in doing with another character.)
Writing Sample:
He sits there in the abandoned dirt and dried grass of Fort Lehigh, head in his heads, fingers gripping too-long hair as his brain swims and his stomach churns.  He wants to scream.  Maybe even should scream (after all, the place he could once vaguely associate with the word ‘home’ is desolate, empty – no one to hear him).  He should be allowed that, right?  One moment of complete, familiar abandon in reaction to years – no – decades of control.  Still, he remains silent despite every image burning behind his eyelids giving him every reason not to.
He doesn’t blame Steve.  Or at least he tells himself that (an endless mantra – he doesn’t, he doesn’t, he doesn’t, he doesn’t, he can’t) as he tries to grasp at older memories. Before the fall, before the war.  He can’t fault Steve for wanting that back (he can), can’t fault him for doing what he thought was the right thing (he won’t).  A part of him feels guilty for leaving him at the warehouse, knows what it must look like.  But he can’t bear the idea of being around Steve right now.  Not after he’d just tried to kill him.  Not when the impulse and the thought to do so were so clear in his mind, fresh and lethal.  Steve had his own problems to deal with (he refused to acknowledge that one of those problems was probably still him), he didn’t need his added to the mix.
Looking around at the weathered lodges of the camp, it was hard to imagine that he used to peddle cigarettes, magazines, and sometimes alcohol to soon-to-be soldiers. For cash, favors, or just to give himself some sense of belonging. He’d been so young.  Its current decay is somehow fitting.
Heaving a sigh as his thoughts settled into the closest thing to calm he figured they’d get, he pushed himself to his feet, brushing the dirt off of his clothes.  He had work to do.
How did you find out about the group?: (character advert/group promo/specific tag/recommendation/etc)

How does one sustain an empire that lasts?  Yearning for immortality, they seek out knowledge of rumored mystical, powerful artifacts scattered across the globe in the wake of Asgard’s destruction and the Skrull invasion.
Meanwhile, HYDRA and their leader, Sinthea Schmidt, is looking for outside means to maintain HYDRA’s subversive power within S.H.I.E.L.D. and beyond. With the two organizations working to upend the natural order– heroes, villains, and civilians alike will be caught in the maelstrom.

PREVIOUS PLOTS & TIMELINE
DARK REIGN — MARCH 2013 - NOVEMBER 2013
Overview:
The Chitauri Invasion and subsequent unveiling of The Avengers raised many questions for the people of Earth. Questions that, in the months following the Battle of Manhattan, transformed into outcry as the devastation wrought upon New York state was put to long-term perspective. The World Security Council announced that in light of his failure to safeguard New York from alien attack, Nick Fury would step down from his executive role within S.H.I.E.L.D.: Norman Osborn would be taking over as Director. Soon after, Osborn fired Maria Hill and appointed Victoria Hand Deputy Director. With his team now in place, it was time to gain the trust of the people whilst casting doubt about the heroes that protected them. His first order of business was to recruit a group of his own “heroes” and unveil them to the world as his new Avengers team. His Avengers included such criminal maniacs as Bullseye and Daken. Vigilantism was subsequently ruled unlawful. Osborn used the Battle of Manhattan as proof that the former Avengers along with their allies were a threat. With superheroes now considered outlaws, the Dark Reign began.
Result:
Heroes were sent into hiding in order to survive. Those who chose to remain, such as Tony Stark, were openly attacked or captured and imprisoned. Osborn continued to extend his reach by ordering what he thought to be successful hits on both Hawkeye and Captain America. Several heroes were apprehended while some were added to his Dark Avengers roster, including James Barnes as Captain America. But the heroes were making progress of their own, coming together in secret to form a plan to put a stop to Osborn’s rule. Eventually, Osborn’s schemes began to unravel beneath him. Daken, recognizing the signs, began making plans to betray his superior. During a daring rescue, the imprisoned heroes were freed. With Osborn’s forces weakened, the final battle ensued and Osborn’s treachery was exposed. Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers were defeated and sentenced. For his part in Osborn’s capture, Daken was pardoned and Maria Hill was reinstated as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
RISE OF ULTRON — FEBRUARY 2014 - AUGUST 2014
Overview:
After the shadow cast by Norman Osborn’s Dark Reign passed, our heroes enjoyed a period of relative peace. Determined to ensure that the team would never have to face a bitter divide again, Tony Stark converted his New York City Stark Tower into the Avengers Tower and invited the team to move in. It was Stark’s hope and belief that this would further unite the team against any threats that may arise. During this time, Dr. Hank Pym was formulating a plan of his own and the Ultron project was born. Pym, who had been contracted by S.H.I.E.L.D., reported his progress to the organization who in turn took possession of the Ultron robot and modified it, uploading to it a program known as Project Insight. What both S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists and Dr. Pym failed to realize was that the AI had already begun to rewrite its programming. After publicly breaking ties with the Avengers, Director Hill announced to the public that the Ultron robot was now on patrol, predicting and preventing threads in order to ensure civilians�� safety. It wasn’t until Ultron openly attacked Thor after deeming him a threat that people began to question whether or not the robot could be trusted to protect innocent lives.
Result:
The attack against one of their own forced the Avengers to publicly oppose S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Ultron project. Tensions continued to rise as the robot became more reckless with each arrest, eventually favoring killing targets instead of apprehending them. With S.H.I.E.L.D. now unable to control Ultron, the Avengers confronted the AI and managed to damage him before he made his escape. The team returned to the tower post-battle only to have it taken over and put into emergency lockdown by Ultron, who was using Tony’s lab to repair and upgrade himself. Ultron then unleashed his army of Ultron bots and a fight ensued. Many heroes were injured and Bruce Banner was killed. After a heartbreaking goodbye, the team regrouped. Now joined by Hank Pym and Cable, as well as armed with an Oscorp-patented electronic disabling device invented by Max Dillon, they launched one last attack against Ultron. While the team weakened the robot, it was Cable who dealt the final blow, sacrificing himself in the process. Ultron was defeated but not without cost.
INFINITY WAR — NOVEMBER 2014 - JUNE 2015
Overview:
During what was supposed to be an ordinary retrieval mission, the Winter Soldier stumbled across an exchange between AIM and HYDRA, acquiring a device he believed to be a weapon of mass destruction. The item was given to Jane Foster and later to Tony Stark for analysis. While the heroes attempted to discover the stone’s origins, the titan Thanos began recruiting forces in order to obtain the legendary Infinity Gems, pulling Loki into the fold through the Mind Gem’s powerful persuasion, having had already recruited the Red Skull from the voids of space he’d been transported to in 1945. Having learned of Jane Foster’s unfortunate encounter with the Aether, Thanos had Loki remove its essence from her and return it - another gem in his collection. The magnitude of the threat humanity would face was soon revealed after Tony Stark’s work on the Soul Gem attracted HYDRA’s attention, causing the Red Skull to launch a brutal attack on Avengers Tower.
Result:
After an interrogation revealed Thanos’ plans to attack Asgard and Xandar for the Infinity Gems residing there, Bucky Barnes reported to the Avengers’ liaison, Sharon Carter. Despite the tension between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the superhero community, both agreed to set their differences aside in the face of such a cosmic threat. With the Avengers’ home in ruins, Tony Stark opened the doors of his family’s mansion as new headquarters and a place to address the task at hand. After an alliance with the Guardians of the Galaxy, two teams were formed, one headed for Asgard and the other for Xandar. Team Xandar’s endeavors were completed successfully while their counterpart’s mission wrought disaster, a series of events triggering Ragnarok, half of the team’s heroes falling. Those who made it back were met with a New York City ravaged by HYDRA’s forces, its hospitals filled with superheroes, S.H.I.E.L.D. agenta, and civilians alike. The aftermath of Ragnarok found the fallen Asgardians’ souls inhabiting those of mortals while the rest of the heroes prepared for the imminent threat of Thanos’ wrath, armed with four of the six Infinity Gems. When the titan finally attacked, he faced off with Scarlet Witch, who - her powers exacerbated by the gems - managed to thwart their enemy single-handedly.
Overview:
Unbeknownst to the heroes of Earth, the destruction Thanos left in his path in his bid for absolute power decimated the planet known as Skrullos, home of the Skrull empire. In the ashes, those who remained turned to the exiled princess Veranke, whose prophecy of her people’s rise to power in the wake of their destruction seemed to be in motion. Their steady invasion spread to every sect of human society, including the superhero community, where their presence was revealed during a foray into a remote HYDRA base mounted by Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes. During the excursion, Rogers was seriously injured and - while Barnes attempted to stabilize his friend - revealed to be a Skrull. The revelation snowballed as Tony Stark was contacted and informed of the situation on-site, granting Pitt'o - Steve Rogers’ impostor - the chance to activate a Skrull virus that would wreak havoc not only on Stark but his entire network, shutting down countless security protocols (among them being S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers’), satellites, and memory banks.
In response, both S.H.I.E.L.D. and Oscorp sought to create a device capable of detecting the alien invaders. Others took a more hands-on approach, among them being Kraven - on a solo mission to hunt down street-level Skrull threats - and Maria Hill, bringing in Bucky Barnes and functioning as a two-person team to do the same on a more political sphere. However, any cohesion between the two major organizations was short-lived, falling to disarray as both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers blamed the other for lack of progress, neither willing to admit to their own faults and shortcomings.
With the threat spreading to less Earthly places, Loki and Muninn embarked on a quest to discover the identity of the Skrull’s leader. While they learn that the queen, Veranke, has been posing as Sif of Asgard from the start, the Skrulls - with disorder seeded and agents in place hindering the progress of detection technology - began invading in full force, launching an attack on the Triskelion and claiming it as their base of operations.
Result:
With their resources, communications, and means of protection and aid cut away, the remaining Avengers took shelter within Fury’s Memorial base in D.C. in an effort to regroup. S.H.I.E.L.D. fled in a similar vein, taking up camp in the hidden barbershop base in Midtown Manhattan. The Skrulls, using their media connections, broadcast pleas from various outlets, including using an apparently held-hostage Harry Osborn as a means to demand a cease to all resistance efforts, eventually leading up to his publicly implied, apparent death.
Having reached a breaking point, the Avengers - led by Bucky Barnes as Captain America - launched an attack to reclaim the Skrull-held Triskelion. In the effort, Antoine Triplett was able to assist both Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. forces into the building while the vicious battle outside bled onto the National Mall. With the aid of Steve Rogers - alive and escaped from Skrull captivity along with other heroes - Barnes was able to track a defeated and wounded Veranke to an unfinished apartment complex, killing her and bringing an end to the Skrulls’ oppression.
EXTREMIS — FEBRUARY 2016 - AUGUST 2016
Overview:
After the digital corruption at the hands of the Skrulls during Secret Invasion, Stark Industries announced that the Stark Network is back online with advanced security measures. To rebuild his company’s reputation, Tony Stark took responsibility of its direction and announced the Starkdynamics event in Tokyo - an international think-tank comprising of a global consortium of brilliant people given a year to come up with a paradigm shifting concept. After 15 years of ostracism, representatives of Oscorp were allowed to attend the event as a goodwill gesture purely on the basis that the company is under new management as well as the good work they did during the Invasion.
While several companies showcased their work and research, Stark delivered a keynote speech announcing the commencement of Project Epsilon with the procurement of Extremis which harnesses the bioelectrical potential to hack and upgrade the human repair center, with the prospect of accelerated healing, boosted immune system and new organ generation - unbeknownst to the crowd, his personal goals for the project being to heal himself of the shrapnel injuries his sustained that made him dependent upon his arc reactor technology. Harry Osborn - in a similar vain - seeing the potential for Extremis to cure his inherited, terminal disease, approached the Avenger with the offer of collaboration. Despite tensions, the two came to an agreement. They each selected the best minds they know to aid them in their research, one being Osborn’s pick - Jemma Simmons, who - on Maria Hill’s orders - uses the offer to gather intel for S.H.I.E.L.D..
Despite initial difficulty (and side-research requested by Stark of Reed Richards, exploring the potential of Extremis to unlock the key to the Super-Soldier Serum given to Steve Rogers), the team made a breakthrough. To celebrate, Osborn and Stark hosted a Casino Royale event, the winnings to be donated to charitable cause Citizens’ Heroes. Despite the festive atmosphere attended by S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and Avenger alike, Bruce Banner confronted Stark about the direction he’d taken the Extremis project, their argument turning heated and provoking a Hulk incident. Though S.H.I.E.L.D. attempted to quell the situation and the Avengers assisted in clean-up, the incident became a PR nightmare. Banner reached out to Bucky Barnes to confirm his departure from the Avengers, and not long after, Stark did the same.
Result:
With newfound single-minded focus on his work, Stark discovered Oscorp files of questionable content, including connections to the Ravencroft Institute’s dabblings in human experimentation and schematics on patented Stark Industries technology. The discovery brought about a full breakdown of communication between the two CEOs as Stark began shutting Osborn out. In the following weeks, Stark staged a hackathon, hiring Yelena Belova to retrieve the Extremis sample from Oscorp’s Brooklyn lab. Osborn, panicked, alerted both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers to the theft, leading to a conflict of jurisdiction between Sharon Carter and Bucky Barnes and hindering the search for the sample.
Upon the loss of Oscorp’s AI, K.A.R.I., to the stalwart defense of J.A.R.V.I.S. following Osborn’s attempt at forcing a retrieval of the stolen data from Stark’s servers, Osborn’s health rapidly deteriorated. This process once more ushered in the Green Goblin, who carried out several attacks against Stark Industries’ facilities, leaving almost a hundred casualties in their wake. During another of the Goblin’s attacks - the now unused Avengers Mansion - the two clash, leaving Stark severely wounded, his arc reactor destroyed, and - if not for the assistance of Loki, who had his own grudges against the Goblin - left for dead.
Delivered to the Baxter Building and with Extremis administered, Stark learned the Goblin’s true identity. After a brief encounter with Bucky Barnes, the Goblin fled for Avengers Tower, laying waste to Stark’s suite. Barnes, having received the programmed distress signal, arrived too late, met only with a dejected Tony Stark amidst the ruins of personal belongings and technology. What should have been a welfare check between teammates turned into an embittered dispute, months of mutual frustrations coming to a head as the two Avengers clash - breaking bones and trust. With the knowledge that the missing Extremis sample had been given to the wayward Avenger, Barnes reported to Sharon Carter and - with Stark and Osborn battling it out over Manhattan - the two sent their forces for aerial and ground support. The battle between the two enhanced corporate moguls ended in a destructive stalemate over the East River, with both participants plunging into the depths below as lower Manhattan was thrown into darkness at the hands of an explosive EMP burst, set off by the Goblin in one final act of vengeance.
CIVIL WAR — AUGUST 2016 - AUGUST 2017
Overview:
As New York City began to recover from the disastrous outcome of the brawl between Iron Man and the Green Goblin, the United Nations World Security Council resolved to take necessary action to counter the rising tide of an increasingly unaccountable enhanced vigilante community. With immense pressure placed upon S.H.I.E.L.D. to direct the momentum of such a measure, a hearing was held in Washington D.C. with Maria Hill and Sharon Carter - from it, the Agreement Concerning Cooperation, Oversight and Registration of Discovered Superhumans (Accords) were soon subject to a first draft. Tony Stark was the first Avenger to view it, and - in the aftermath of Extremis - became its first supporter.
When the Accords were revealed to the public, they were met with an array of tension among civilians, heroes, and vigilantes alike. As a facility to hold those in direct opposition of the new law was revealed on Hart Island, protests began to spark. Heavy hitters such as Steve Rogers took their disagreements to the UN General Assembly, while the rest of the Avengers met among themselves to discuss their course of action only to find themselves on opposite sides of a fence. When the final day arrived, in a gesture of good will, the World Security Council’s Alexander Pierce, with support from Director Maria Hill and Deputy Director Sharon Carter, offered a ceremonial signing of the Accords on S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s Iliad Helicarrier to Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes.
With inside string-pulling from HYDRA’s Jack Rollins and Grant Ward, what the public was led to believe was a bureaucratic olive branch spiraled into a terrorist attack as the Helicarrier crashed into Liberty Island. With the Iliad’s black box released to the public, both Barnes and Rogers were implicated in the attack and forced underground. Matters only worsened when, during the memorial service for the fallen S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Alexander Pierce was assassinated and all evidence pointed to Barnes being the one responsible. It was enough to sway public opinion, and registration becomes mandatory for all enhanced individuals.
After a disastrous scrap between a S.H.I.E.L.D. S.T.R.I.K.E. team and several enhanced, S.H.I.E.L.D. tasked it’s science division, along with the help of Jane Foster, with the job of inventing a means of detecting such individuals in order to better protect their operatives in the field. To further assist, S.H.I.E.L.D. unveils the Vision, their newest asset and a strong proponent of the Accords.
Result:
The World Security Council, under the new direction of Gideon Malick, began implementing the detection device for offensive purposes. After learning of this decision, Jane Foster - as Thor - alerted the underground heroes of their plans. Wanda Maximoff reached out to the mutant community and other scattered fugitives of the Accords with the offer to use Cerebro as a means to combat the detection tech, and alliances were formed.
Meanwhile, those who were sent to the Hart Island Facility learn first hand of darker endeavors taking place behind the secured walls. Mistreated, experimented on, and tortured - human rights violations took place beneath the government’s nose at the hands of infiltrators from HYDRA and other seedy organizations. Rumors of these conditions leaked outside the walls and water of the prison, and from Sharon Carter and Steve Rogers to Harry Osborn and Kasper O'Connor, insider and vigilante investigations led to a massive prison break. The Hart Island prison was left in ruins, and details of what took place within were soon released to the public. The UN World Security Council announced a period of amnesty for the fugitives while the Accords were amended to ensure no such horrors would take place again.
