Welcome! You may be wondering what that title is all about, eh? Just a carrot, really. While you are here, why not browse story genres and ideas and see if anything catches your interest? This OP should be updated periodically to reflect current and former stories. You'll find some information below about the sorts of things I enjoy, some current ideas drifting in the space between my ears, and some samples of what my OOC and IC threads tend to look like.

Do I have your attention?
I enjoy roleplaying with different players who value different things out of roleplay, and for this reason do not currently have any hard rules beyond general courtesy and civility. Instead, I shall tell you a bit about how I roleplay so that you can decide for yourself if you think we would make a good match:
Open for communication in OOC, Visitor Message, or PM for story discussion or questions/problems.
Do not offer contact information off-site and roleplay strictly on the RPA site.
Do not roleplay 1x1 with writers under 21 and prefer 25+.
Do my best to notify if I may be scarce or absent for a bit, usually in OOC thread or PM.
Occasionally may be called away unexpectedly, but will notify soonest on those rare occasions.
Can take up to two weeks to reply and prefer relatively laidback pace.
May post in some places faster than others; not to ignore or slight, just going with the inspiration.
Typically write multiple paragraph posts, unless it's a rapid dialogue of a few sentences.
Try to apply reasonably good grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Frequently run posts through a word processor.
Write in 3rd person.
Can DM/GM to help move story or if partner prefers, but prefer to let story develop organically.
See Character Sheets as optional - can complete them if useful to track, or write "blind".
Enjoy world-building and creating NPC's, environments, magical/religious systems with others.
Typically play all sorts of people and almost always platonically.
Write story-pertinent romance if it develops organically, most often as some variant of MxF/FxM.
Generally avoid erotic writing, but sometimes write flirtatious or sensual characters.
Open to Mature threads:
- Not open to... roleplaying or reading sexual assaults/violence "for fun" or pure shock value.
- Open to... language, alcohol/substance abuse, physical fights, medical situations, warfare. Threat of certain types of assault/violence must be situationally appropriate and "fade to black" for any off-limits subjects. Always under RPA rules and restrictions, of course!

From the streets to the flashing neon of the city, stage performers in spangles and feathers to the smooth lines of the ballroom, a group of dancers work and play through each others lives. Sketchy idea, sort of an edgy slice-of-life I suppose, but would like for it to be real and gritty and highlight the ups and downs of athletes or very physical lives and occupations. Players can also primarily play or include managers, business people, or really any other sort(s) that might populate a city known for entertainment, vice, and society. Open to more structure if this appeals! Characters can really be any stripe of person. Would love to see drag ball participants, voguers, breakdancers, and other less traditional forms of dance represented. A fierce novice healer is discovered from the population of a town. The authorities notify the order of mages known the land over to send a representative. When the representative arrives he discovers that the young magic user has actually been performing miraculous wonders - often unintentionally - all around the town. The young healer is riding the high of power and believes that there is no need to train with the mages to master what is clearly already a considerable force. Unfortunately, despite being something of a prodigy, the results are as likely to be disastrous as they are miraculous. For this reason, the authorities force the magical miscreant to go with the mage representative, who then makes haste for the Tower of Magi where a warm welcome meets with a sulky response from the new recruit. After a night of being introduced to the other young acolytes, most of whom are obnoxiously happy to be there, the recruit is shown by the representative to the mage who will be conducting both evaluation and training. This mage is old, impatient, vastly prodigious himself, and incredibly bored. So bored, in fact, that the new recruit's anger is, upon first meeting, lost in a sea of tea-slurping and mindless page-flipping that raises the hackles of the latter. The old mage, possessed of peerless power, long experience, and far too little to occupy his seemingly endless time; barely even registers the news of the young prodigy's talents - or presence, for that matter - and simply ignores the newcomer. The representative shrugs at the recruit, offers a consoling pat on the shoulder, and leaves the pair to begin their contentious and hopefully entertaining journey together towards educating the one who will likely become the peerless mage of the next generation.
[Either character is playable. Concept is Non-Romantic MxM meant for a Fantasy setting. Open to discussing Modern or Sci-fi Setting or FxF/FxM/MxF if desired.]
The King is dead. In the power vacuum there are many claimants to the throne. The King had no heir and no queen or consort, thus the two that emerge as the most likely contenders are his protegee and long-time right hand; and the decorated and popular leader of his city guard. Who will win the crown?
Plot twist: The goal is not to keep your own character alive or see them enthroned - it's to attempt to position the other such that they are able to survive and cannot turn down the crown. First to coronation "loses" the roleplay. Rules of play to be defined beyond that as we see fit.
[Either character is playable. Concept is based on an idea from some Downtown joking around. FxFxMxM of any combination acceptable and setting can be adjusted to preference as none was originally cemented.]
Humans have explored to the edges of space and beyond: time has become a bit bendy with the discovery of rifts. Crossing through them is easy, but crossing again home can be nearly impossible. The few rifts capable of two-way travel become hot spots to meet people in and out of both space and time. Entire worlds have sprung up around them, either actual planets or ships cobbled together or purpose-built to house entertainment districts, governing headquarters, corporate icons, or even zealous cults. At one point in the universe, or the multiverse as some call it now, an old abandoned colony who accidentally crossed through a two-way portal and made their home on the other side serve patrons in one of the hottest clubs ever built. The reclusive owners run everything and everyone through their possession and planetary rights to one of these rifts. Welcome to the Amberlight, where it's always a good night and you never know what might come through the door.
