Let's talk about me,
I’m a veteran WoD player from Scotland in the UK, though I actually first found the setting in Masquerade LARPs before then moving into the fiction and devouring all of the background that I could find.
By the time nWoD came around I was utterly sold on Requiem and thought it would be my new favourite. Intriguingly, Forsaken actually stole my attention and I ended up playing and running a lot of werewolf for a few years.
I’ve been out of play-by-post writing for a while but I’ve been looking for a World of Darkness setting for a while and I’m very excited to have found this place. I’m hoping to find a good community to write with and, with any luck, a great story to write.
I’ll play any character that inspires me, though I think I struggle with playing any character who is a paragon of any one quality. Everyone needs to have flaws, and those flaws have to make conflict and complication take place.
I’ll be honest, I’m more interested in the story and the journey than the dice or dots, and I prefer collaborative outcomes if the players are comfortable with it. Winning is fun when it happens, but I’m more than happy to lose when it drives the story, and character death is a part of that journey.
I would expect to post a few times a week at the least, if not daily, but sometimes family life will mean the former is all I can manage.
I have few boundaries and strongly believe the World of Darkness should be Dark and Gritty and Unfair (in Character). I’m more than happy to be approached on any touchy subject and we could discuss it.
As for style, I like most types of plots but I have a preference for exploring character over combat and I tend to approach plot from the characters perspective and interests rather than go chasing it like a hound if the character really is more ambivalent.
I’ve written a lot of Nosferatu recently so I dunno if I’ll go there this time around, but I do like a good grotesque character now and then.
As for personally, I’m a functioning adult with a spouse, a kid and dog. If not for the ‘Rona I’d be working in the daytime but for now I’m free as a bird.
If anyone has any other questions I’d love to answer them.
