I also don't really care about the apocalyptic event, it is my idea that what actually happened is something no talks about, because those who survived it did so only at cost to their humanity. Besides what killed most of the human race isn't really important in this story, whats killing the last remnants of humanity, now that's what I'm interested in. The struggle, the question of when the will to live becomes murderous intent? Where is the line between scavenger and raider drawn? Is looting the dead any different depending on who pulled the trigger? When does the path of survival become the road to hell?
And now I'm just trying to sound deeper than I really am. I'm just looking for a partner who'd be interested in a post-apocalyptic story that focus' on the struggle and the effects it has on the human condition. I'm hopping for a gritty story that'll likely hit the deepest lows of human desperation. Yet at the same time I want to see the brightest parts of the darkest moments. Like I said I want the struggle, the joys and pains, the good and the bad.
I hope I"m making some semblance of sense to someone, but since It's quite likely that I'm just rambling I'm going to tack on my usual copy-paste of my style and what I'm looking for in a partner and see if I can't grab some interest for an Rp or two.
So for those who remain I'll start with the usual dribble about expectations and what not, I'm not going to determine a length to which you have to write, I myself can get...say four or five paragraphs regularly, more if the Rp really draws me in. There's always something interesting to write about the way I see it. Some odd little fact, or new depth, to add, if you take two paragraphs to describe how a the shimmer of a small stream or building looks in the sun and how it reminds your character of his/her childhood home, that's perfect, maybe not constantly relevant but I really don't care, it's interesting. I only write what I think is worth reading, there should be more to it than simple than back and forth interaction. Anyways I just got off on a mildly long tangent there. That describes length of posts, as to grammar, I don't worry about that all too much, it's likely I'll make the occasionally mistake in this interest check, I miss-spell words, I mess up my grammar, it happens, I don't care. If you can write coherently then I'll be happy.
In fact I'm more interested in a partner who can write creatively, think about the setting and write appropriately than anything else. There's a reason I don't just sit down and write books, I enjoy the secondary source of idea's that comes with roleplaying, I enjoy having to think of something new and different, that will sometimes even counter another player. As always, feel free to throw idea's out that I would never have thought of. Again just be able to realize what fits in the world we establish. One of my favorite books to date is American Gods by Neil Gaiman, it wasn't real in the faintest sense but damn if it couldn't have been. And while I don't remember the author of the following words they have always been the corner stone to which I prefer to write. When I write I do not try to create a world that escapes our own, my goal is not to think of everything that could be done. My goal is to create a world that you think might have existed, in a time long ago, or in a time far to come. You read the story and you wonder perhaps, maybe somewhere out there it's been possible, see the character less as what they are, characters, and more as those who could exist in that world, maybe they did, maybe they will. Again if anyone knows exactly who wrote the idea I'd appreciate finding out who it was, though I did paraphrase a bit, it's been a while.
Now I'd like if the characters are decent people at the core. I mean sure it's going to be harsh on the character at times, that's kind of what I'm hoping for. I enjoy that aspect, when good people are faced with absolute horror. Maybe it's just personal idealism, but I'd like to reflect those fighters that despite so much horror still cling to their faith, whatever it might be in. The struggle is for more than just shelter and food, but also hope and decency in a world that seemed to have run out.
Really it'll have no specific element, one day the characters might be laughing and enjoying themselves among the dead ruins of a city, the next they might be struggling to survive, or just struggling to keep their personal faith. Like I said I want no focus and when two people travel together for so long romance has a chance to form. However note the two key words, ?chance? and ?form? It'll be a slow long going process, with it's ups and downs, just because they're both decent people trying to get by doesn't mean they don't disagree after all. At the same time I'm just as happy to ignore romance all together. If it is present females only, I am male, my characters are male, that's that. So please do not give light characters, give me something real, something believable, a character that's still a person, one who made mistakes, who has dreams, failures, so on and so forth.
So I'll cease with my long winded and incredibly vague interest check and hope I manged to grab someone interest, or at least that I confused someone enough as to shoot me a PM anyways.
?The world is but a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. And I travel not to go anywhere, but to go, to learn. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to simply read.?
