Lint Roller - July 10, 2010 02:45 AM (GMT)
ABOUT ME


Alias: Lint Roller/Lint/Emily
Age: 19
Gender: Female

Personality: Um, gosh that's hard to describe. I'm actually mildly introverted in nature, though I try to be less so when I'm online (mostly by necessity really). I tend to be rather quiet, and I also am rather prone to wandering away randomly in the middle of conversations (as you'll likely see if we talk over im at any one time). Let's see, I have little sense of direction and I eat macaroni and cheese pretty much everyday. Also, be forewarned, I make faces a lot and use English the words the way they weren't intended to be used.

About Me: Okay, accidentally covered a lot of this section in the above but um I play some video games like Zelda Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess (I actually am not a fan of Majora's Mask), I've played some Final Fantasy (and when I say some, I mean I started FFX like a week ago :/), and I've always been a huge fan of the Sims (1, 2, and 3). There aren't that many fandoms I'm really a big fan of playing, for instance I mildly don't want to play any Harry Potter. I'm just...over it, though I still love the verse in general I'm just not looking to rp it at this point.

Do you like to use messengers? YES. I prefer using MSN or AIM, I technically have a YIM account as well which I can probably dig up if needed.

How long have you been roleplaying? Uh...O_o; A while? I'm not really sure, probably like 6 or 7 years?

What boards have you played on in the past? None that are particularly significant really, I mean I was on Spring Academy (then Evolutioniskey then Foresta Academy) for a couple years. Beyond that I just can't remember, I've spent quite a while away from rping and instead have been skinning/coding sooo...>__> yeah I'm sorry. I'm rather rusty at this

ABOUT ROLEPLAYING


How often do you generally post?: If I have something to reply to, I'll post usually as soon as I see it. The only time I'll hold off on a post is if I'm super tired or super hungry (or usually a combination of those two things). I rarely ever hold off on a post though unless I'm really bored or something is wrong, and for the most part I'll suck it up and tell you if something is wrong.

How much do you generally post? It depends, I tend to prefer shorter, snappier posts so usually my posts tend to be around 400-500 words but if I'm in a thread where both of us are just getting through it to get to the next plot point it can average out closer to 300 words. It really depends though, I can go way above 500 or way below 400, it all is dependent on what is going on in the plot and how much my character is actually doing. I don't pad my posts much if at all, so if nothing is going on...well I won't add how blue the sky looks or what the trees sound like as wind rustles through the leaves *gags*

Do you like to write in 1st person or 3rd person? Typically I write in third person, but I don't mind reading a post in first person or switching point of views myself.

Who are your favorite PB's? Honestly I don't care very much what your PB is

What PB's do you hate? See above.

What type of characters do you like to play? I play a lot of different characters, it really depends on what the situation calls for really.

What are your favorite genres? I love pretty much all Fantasy, Sci-Fi (Futuristic is my love), Apocalyptic, and pretty much any original plot you can throw my way I'll probably be in love with. Bonus points are awarded for plots which allow characters to ride bears or lions at any one point, or Werewolves. As far as fandoms, I'd be interested in playing Pokemon (never mentioned this but I do love Pokemon), maybe a Zelda TP based game (never tried before, kind of sounds like fun though), X-Men (I haven't read the comic books though, I'M SORRY I'M A FAIL), or the like. If we do a fandom, I'd probably only play an original AU version of it. Long story short, Fandoms just aren't my thing.

What genres do you hate? Ugh, please no Twilight I don't know anything about it. I realize I said werewolves above but just no. D: Not Twilight. I'd also rather not do a Harry Potter thing, even AU Harry Potter I'm just not that interested in. Maybe at some later date but, ugh, I'd just like to take a break from that particular genre. Also I have a particular hatred for Batman sites, again I haven't read the comics but judging by the movies--BLEGH >__>; *is probably alone in thinking this*

What rating of a board do you like to play on? I don't really care as long as it isn't like a purely sexual site I'm fine with whatever
How do you feel about writing out graphic scenes such as violence, drug use, and sex? Violence I'm pretty much always okay with, Drugs I'm slightly less okay with (depending on how much is involved and how intense it is) but for the most part that's also fine, but I typically fade to black with sex scenes. I have to know you REALLY well before I'm willing to rp sex scenes mostly because...I just don't like them. >__> They're just a sweaty mess of flesh anyway, who wants to rp that first thing? Certainly not me. But, once I get to know you that'd be fine if it naturally progresses that way in the rp.

What type of plots do you like? I do pretty much all plots, cheeseball ones are my secret love though. I love to take bad cliches and make them hilarious :3 They're my love.

What type of plots do you dislike? I will sound silly when I say this, because I always say "I love cliches" many times people will just give me a straight cliche to work with with absolutely no editing or anything to it: I'm definitely not looking for that kind of thing. As long as the plot is allowed breathing room to change and be hilarious I am a happy camper. Honestly I change my plots a lot because I find it more exciting, and often I'll do it with like almost no warning (really I'm just a big asshat) so if I can't have that breathing room it gets kind of formulaic for me.

What are some plots that you'd like to play out with someone? Let's see, I've really been in the mood for some werewolf, apocalyptic kind of happenings on--or some sort of fantasy thing with warring nations--or you know some other insane thing I'll think of on spot. (You can bet any plot I'll come up with will have a "...and they all ride bears" at the end, this is just a quirk of mine you will get used to)

Are you willing to join a new board with someone? Maybe
Are you interested in creating a new board with someone? Maybe
What board skills do you have? Um, I can make skins and graphics, also I'm a professional "moral support mod" (in case you didn't see the title) and part time "table whisperer"
What board software/host do you prefer? I don't really care, as long as I can find the "Add Reply" button we're good.
Are you willing to roleplay over messengers? Yes, if we do expect a lower word count though. I actually rather enjoy rping over messangers because I think it makes the RPs faster, that said I try to only split my post up like less than 6 times so..I approximate that it's about as much but maybe slightly less words than usual.

SAMPLES


CHARACTER SAMPLES
CHARACTER ONE


Name: Cameron ______ (I always forget the official last name I give him because I change it so dang often, for all intensive purposes he's just Cameron since I'm undoubtedly going to just make up a last name for him on spot at random)
Age: 23
Playby: Kevin Zegers usually
Genre(s): Werewolf/Fantasy genres which include hunting magical creatures
General Personality: Cameron is kind of meant to be a decent kind of guy, rare for one of my characters, but um he's slightly narcissistic and quite proud of himself all the time. He knows that he's a handsome guy, and at times can be quite shallow. That said, he's also messy to a fault and more often than not a bit smelly. Honestly people who are close to him either stand five feet away from him at all times or just get used to the smell of dirty laundry on top of his BO it's pretty gross. He's pretty personable, assuming you could get past the wall of his grossness, and is actually, like I already said because I love repeating myself today, a decent kind of guy. That said, Cameron doesn't handle being taken out of his comfort zone well and is stubbornly resistant to change of any kind. If forced into a situation he doesn't agree with, he'll often shut down and act like a little pansy-sissy-girl.
General History: Cameron was born into a family of (mediocre) werewolf hunters. His father taught him how to use a knife effectively (and by knife, I mean a silver dagger type one used to kill werewolves, he doesn't bother with stakes and whatnot). Cameron is the best hunter of his family (between his father, brother, and grandfather) but he's still really not very skilled as far as werewolf hunters go especially since he can't use a gun to save his life. He's really only useful in close combat type situations rendering him quite useless next to any guy holding a machine gun.
How long have you had this character? Technically he made his first appearance in his late teens as Cameron Wolf which was uh...like last year? He might be a bit older than that, that said I've only played him somewhat sparingly because, like I said, I haven't really been rping much at all lately in general.

CHARACTER TWO


Name: Jared
Age: 19ish?
Playby: Ryan Taylor, but this may change I'm not sure if this will be his permanent playby
Genre(s): Harry Potter AU
General Personality: Jared is kind of soft spoken and pretty unassuming. He usually goes out of his way to avoid people, though he's rarely super anti-social. He much prefers to have people around him, but people who won't talk to him so it's not uncommon to see him frequent grocery stores or bars just to watch people. Naturally this makes him come across as a little creepy, particularly because he gets more satisfaction in watching muggles than watching other wizards. Jared happens to be a mudblood, both of his parents are muggles and he just happened to get a freak trait to make him a wizard. That said, on some level, Jared still feels more comfortable in the muggle world and, for the most part, spends most of his time in the muggle world and even holds a muggle job simply out of preference (though his magic isn't that impressive anyway).
General History: Jared was born to two loving muggle parents. He never had any siblings and grew up in a fairly well to do area. At maybe 10 or 11 he began to show signs that he was different and when he was given a letter inviting him to Hogwarts his parents supported him even if they were somewhat confused by the idea of sending their kid to a random boarding school they never heard of before or could even see for a long stretch of time. That said, Jared did just enough to pass his classes and graduate from Hogwarts but not nearly with the stellar record that might have been expected from anyone else. Jared generally never felt very at home in the wizarding world and the fact that he never was quite able to find his niche in it simply made it easier for him to rejoin the muggle world as if Hogwarts never happened.
How long have you had this character? Not long at all to be honest, he's probably my newest character

POST SAMPLES

POST ONE


What is going on in this scene? Cameron comes home from a long day, and generally unsuccessful, day at work when he encounters a "portal" for the first time in his life. As some back-story, Cameron is a werewolf hunter and expects that a werewolf broke his window and was trying to kill him.

QUOTE
Cameron was inside, it was dark in his house. He had only just got home, it was raining outside so Cameron was quite pleased to find he had left a couple of his lights on. One in the kitchen and one in his bathroom down the hall. He had seen a lot of different things particularly that pertained to his job, yet he still felt pretty uncomfortable sitting in the dark especially knowing that pretty much everything else on the face of this planet could see much better than him in the dark. He turned on the light to his living room and sighed, nothing was out of place--though to any bystander it looked like everything was out of place. His floor was littered in old clothes, some trash, and old magazines. His couch, which was over-sized for how small his living room was, had seen better days. There was hardly any cushion and sitting on it wasn't terribly comfortable, even putting aside the fact that it smelled like the couch had been thrown in the lake and left to dry beside a swamp.

Cameron took off his muddy shoes and tossed them beside the door, they flung a small amount of mud on the side of the wall but he didn't really care. As Cameron walked to the couch, though, he heard something crash from the kitchen. For a few seconds he was frozen in his spot, somewhat overwhelmed as he slowly realized that all of his kitchen utensils had fallen to the floor. Assuming this was the work of something malicious he realized he was, for once, unarmed except for a pocket knife. That'll have to do, he found himself thinking as he also imagined he would die. He smiled to himself as he imagined what it would be like to have a real job, one which did not require random monsters to appear in his kitchen for no reason at all.

When Cameron walked into the kitchen and looked around the corner of the wall, he didn't find what he was imagining. Rather than some ravenous beast in his kitchen looking for him he found...well what looked like some strange disk that was floating in the air right in the middle of his cabinets. He wasn't too upset about the cabinet, honestly the only thing that was in there were old canned beans, even he wouldn't eat those, but this was beyond anything he had ever seen. "Holy sh*t." Cameron said under his breath as he came out, realizing that there wasn't a lycan in here, but that, in all honesty, he was probably going to be killed by whatever created this technology.


POST TWO


What is going on in this scene? Um Jared, a graduated wizard from Hogwarts, is bored and hungry so he meanders into a local muggle grocery store mostly to make himself feel more important

QUOTE

It was midday and sunny, it was the kind of weather for a decent picnic outside. Of course Jared isn't the type to go on picnics, though at least he could enjoy the atmosphere while he was outside even if it would only be brief. Wearing dark-wash straight jeans that were a bit big on him and what Jared could only assume was a clean, blue t shirt with some logo of sorts Jared wasn't going to call himself the swankiest guy on the street but at least, for once he felt like a muggle again and it was a nice feeling. Being a muggle mean that he actually isn't an adult yet, or rather he still is but most of society doesn't expect anything of him. They probably think he'll be going to university, Jared tried not to snort at the very idea.

By now Jared was beginning to get strange looks from passer-bys, honestly he couldn't blame them much. He was smirking to himself, walking slowly on the sidewalk and nearly running into everyone he was passing. His hair hadn't been combed in, honestly, weeks. Although Jared was washing it, his wavy brown hair didn't make him look put together. Jared never was very put together, in fact, he kind of looked like he had just dragged him out of the gutter and stole some clothes from a clearance bin. At least, Jared couldn't help think, he could do whatever he wanted. It was nice, he felt, to be among muggles now that he's graduated and able to use magic. Naturally he couldn't use magic in front of them, but if the need arose he could and they would be completely destroyed by it. Jared got some amount of satisfaction knowing that, although he'd probably be sent to prison for it, he could still do whatever the hell he wanted. These guys don't even know how much more powerful he is and Jared felt pretty damn satisfied because of it.

Jared turned another corner, he had probably been walking for the last ten minutes but he was only passing one block, it was sad how slowly he was walking. That alone was making people try to stay clear from him, most people don't walk down the street so completely enthralled in their own thoughts that they're simply walking, staring forward with a strange smirk on his face. Any normal person would be freaked out, regardless of some inherent power he had, but Jared figured it was because they had a feeling he could do whatever he wanted. Finally, the grocery store. He didn't have much of anything to eat and besides that, he was pretty bored so the store down the street seemed like a good enough place to wander in to, especially for being completely zoned out.

It's easy to imagine, but Jared actually isn't insane. Rather, working for the ministry of magic for the past couple of months already had Jared just about ready to kill himself. He was little more than a secretary and spent most of his time being everyone's personal assistant, often just preforming menial, ridiculous tasks that made Jared want to kill himself and everyone else in the building pretty much all of the time. Even if he had no power at work, Jared could still rather enjoy having power over all these little people. Squibs had a similar effect on Jared, only he always felt too sorry for them to actually do anything--in fact Jared has never actually done anything with his life. Staring at canned spaghetti sauce, simply because in his daze he had stopped paying attention to where he was going and the bright red in the label happened to catch his eye, Jared inwardly sighed. He's actually never done anything with his life. His greatest accomplishment, Jared thought as he looked as a woman who passed by him rather awkwardly, was that he managed to get a job which he hates more than life itself. "f*** me." Jared mumbled as he grabbed the can of spaghetti and figured tonight would be a muggle food night as he wondered where the packaged spaghetti would be.


FINAL STATEMENT


How do you want to be contacted? I'd like to be contacted over PM but replying here would also be fine. Whichever you're most comfortable with is fine.

Anything else? I really haven't rped that much lately so, honestly, I feel quite rusty and awkward and I'm quite sorry. Also, all those fancy templates and pretty typography is COMPLETELY lost on me. >__> I'll just try to follow your lead and hopefully not totally screw everything up XD
