Character death, that's pretty high stakes.  :D

But no, on a serious note; It's a bit complicated for me to explain, like it depends on things. Like how big are the consequences. How many times can the character fuck up, whether accidentally or purposefully before the consequences are detrimental to them or other characters in the thread. How big are the ramifications of failure and what are some of the outcomes that can come from it. Those kind of things I define as high stakes. But also that usually comes from when you've got a partner/partners you're playing against rather than with. Something I personally don't see a lot anymore what with it usually being a co-op type of thing with plotting things out and figuring out certain agreements and during RP.

(I Might be talking out of my ass about the plotting thing though. Me and mine don't usually plot openly, we like to surprise each other with revelations and plot twists so we keep our stuff hush hush a bit.)

i was going to try to wait until i got to the other side of moving in early december to look for something but. i am literally going insane from how badly i want to write again so. here i am.

i'm here looking for a new site... with a catch. that catch being that i'm not just looking for a site but that i'm also wanting a new rp bestie to write with + take me in under their wing.

in other words... if you're on a site right now and you have a want ad you're literally dying to see played out and you're wanting to have a new friend to spend the day bouncing things back + forth with over discord and are eager to drag said new friend to get into extended soap opera style plots with all your friends... this is your sign from the heavens to hit me up.

i'm trying to be open-minded about this, so i'm only going to put down 3 rules:
1) 18+ jcink animanga sites only
2) no bigger (15+ members) or more established (1+ year) communities
3) you must have been active on the site for at least a month

i'll consider anything i get that meets those three requirements, but hey, if you want to tempt me further:
-- i tend to gravitate towards "fun" ship dynamics that have a "story" to tell + progress through
-- i've been dying to do a polyship and/or a prolonged ship dynamic with lots of outside interactions with outside parties (think found families giving shovel talks)
-- i prefer to be able to rp smut with my partner (even if it's only privately)
-- i typically prefer playing canons over ocs (especially if i can reimagine said canon in a new setting because it's genuinely fun getting to imagine what xyz canon would be like in abc au)
-- i am more likely to gravitate towards a simple/quick app over anything extensive after my break
-- my main brainrot rn is ffxiv but i'd be p easy to tempt back into pokemon, twst, genshin, hsr, or arknights with the right incentive
-- i would literally cry if someone was willing to give me my dumb crackship of kyrian hunter from the dark-hunters series (+ chronicles of nick) with aloysius pendergast from the pendergast series

make of all of that what you will.



So, we're currently reworking our site to be more urban fantasy that the original setting. We're mostly all set up (Just one or two lore pieces to put up. Making some site wanted ads. pretty much last minute stuff.) We're transitioning to 18+, Our community is pretty small(We have waves), we've only been around for about 6 months and while we're in a slow spot we still try to maintain activity.

I have a plot going right now for one of my characters and I need a role filled potentially that I can fill you in on if you want a character to come in with right off of the bat. I'm also looking at giving away one of my other characters that I just don't keep active and is currently in a ship with one of the main admin's characters.

It's mostly an OC site, however I've never had a problem with people making cannon characters as long as your can bend their lore to fit into the site setting's lore. (Used to do this all the time on a resident evil site. Kind of how it ended up being a mash up of hellsing, metal gear solid, and devil may cry with resident evil -Both games and movies-).

If you'd like I can PM you a link to the site. Or if you prefer my Discord DM's are always open, My discord is fr0sty_tsb

If you're look for older, and don't mind beards; Rider from fate stay / zero. Specifically Alexander the Great.

Another thing I definitely suggest is going to a place like zerochan and looking by theme tags. For instance; Muscles is a theme and there are a lot of pictures drawn buff/built.

Site that I would love to see but just don't have the time for is a zombie site. Because holy shit that genre needs a revival so badly. And not just a zombie survival RP title slapped on a site with a gritty skin. I mean a full on zombie site. With old school actual mechanics that I'll explain:

  1. Hybrid time (The day IRL is the day in RP but that whole day is on fluid time) 
  2. Small world events happening on certain days in certain areas. (and staff dropping those things into your threads)
  3. Character death on by default (Because if your character does stupid things, they should win stupid prizes. hard stop.)
  4. Scavenging mechanics. (dice rolls or a point shop, whatever. Just something that limits players from saying they have like; a shotgun with so much ammo)
  5. Equipment management. (Like if you do have guns, ammo counts and things)
  6. Infection mechanics (Like if your character get's bitten they turn after x amount of time or threads, etc.)




The problem is though, this is a lot of work on staff. Especially with the small world events, like staff would have to go through and have a table to reference on what days and in what boards hordes would be around. Members would need to understand that thread crashing would and should be expected with regard to staff dropping zombies and raiders and stuff into your threads if your thread is on a specific board on a specific day. etc. It's, a whole lot of moderation and Dungeon master work for staff honestly. Like you'd need a huge staff team, or at least a staff team for your specific; typical staff work things, and then a team of mods/global mod like story teller roles that act as Dungeon Masters essentially.

Settle an argument with my friend

When you're talking on the phone, what hand do you hold the phone with?

My shoulder. Because I'm one of those millennials who don't understand it's not a home phone xD

So if this isn't something you're interested, feel free to ignore it but on the site in my signature we use the same skin. You can take a look at how we do our thing and if you might want something similar I can find the code for you and direct you to the discord widget that we use?

it's a lot of good sites out, but 2 many "member driven" w/o direction. and y'all letting ppl w/o driver licenses drive. bring back direction and steer the boat pls.

This. But as staff how exactly do you even attempt to take back the steering wheel when most people's answer is to just stop RP'ing on the site? Or just not engage with the plot/lore also for that matter...

Random thought: Changing role play culture is hard af yo. Even when it comes to small stuff on your own sites.
