Hello there!

I've been looking for a character for my personal plot on a slice-of-life site, Sidereal Gardens. I've been told that someone out there might be interested in this funky plot, so, here I am, tempting fate yet again!

The plot-specific character would likely be a consistent threading partner with my character, whose name is Santiago Roscoe (the site doesn't allow guests to view apps, so oops in this regard?). Santiago is, in a nutshell, a huntsman who lives in a cabin in the forest, alone from society. He's calm, wise, kind-hearted, yet kinda grumpy and aloof. Think any huntsman from any fairytales, I suppose. Nevertheless, the forest and a strong affinity to nature are a big part of his character, and the character I'm looking for follows the same... vibe.

This plot revolves around my character encountering a wolf in the woodlands. Over time, he bonds with the wolf, they become close friends. However, surprise! Surprise! He eventually finds out that his wolf friend is actually no wolf, but a shapeshifter capable of turning into a wolf. Even bigger surprise! The wolf is actually an acquaintance of his!

What is important is that the shapeshifter lives a dual life: one of a regular person, one of a wild wolf. Perhaps she (it's a woman, read more below) is facing some life issues, and she chooses to shapeshift into a wolf and runs around the woods for the sake of forgetting about her responsibilities and freeing herself from them. This could help her bond with my character who has fled from society to live as a hermit, more or less. Shapeshifters are a regular species on the site, but she keeps her shifting abilities a secret.

Important Information:

» this is mostly an amiable wanted ad (my character befriends the wolf, subsequently befriends the human as well once the beans are spilled), but my character can definitely fall in love with the shapeshifter once the finds out the truth (I'm open to that development)
» the shapeshifter is a woman, probably in her late 20's or early 30's (somewhat close in age to my character, who's 35)
» shifter, keeps her abilities a secret, lives a dual life (more above)
» personality is up to you! -- I imagined her to be somewhat motherly, caring, protective of the younger characters that are on the site, perhaps?
» history is up to you! -- I mentioned that she might have some life issues, so feel free to elaborate on that!
» FC is up to you! -- I don't have any special requirements for the FC! She's meant to be an adult character, so maybe don't choose a FC that looks 12, I guess. I don't really have any suggestions regarding it, go wild! Also, my character's FC is Trevor from the Castlevania Netflix series, so Sypha definitely comes to mind...? :eyes:

That's probably all I wanted to mention! I have a plethora of possible mini-plot and thread ideas for this, I can definitely share some of those!

The full wanted ad can be found here. It has much more of my ramblings, but it offers some additional info!

If you're interested, thank you, first of all! Feel free to PM me, I'll most likely tell you to add me on Discord, I don't mind plotting over PMs though! If you PM me, you don't have to be fully committed to the character yet! We can just talk, brainstorm and plot together for a while, so that you would see whether you actually vibe with the character concept c:

Thanks for reading! ^^

Okaaaay, after a short break from roleplaying, I'd love to get myself involved again! I'm looking for some sites that would welcome an awkward bean like me. So, here I am, open for suggestions~! Just a quick note, I'm quite picky when it comes to sites, but don't let that discourage you, I'm just hella indecisive.

· · · · Quick blurb about me and the stuff I'd like to RP:
» Looking for an animanga site, not RL.
» I prefer Jcink over ProBoards, but it's not a deal-breaker for me.
» I have a plethora of OCs. The character I would absolutely love to play is a quirky, yet intelligent detective (think Sherlock Holmes, I suppose?), but I have other characters as well. I'm not opposed to creating a brand new OC for a site, but, yeah, my muse is screaming for a detective character right now.
» My activity might be a bit sporadic. I generally try to post once in every two-three days (I can do multiple posts a day if the time and muse are right). Nevertheless, I would prefer a site with lenient activity standards (nothing that would banish me into the archives after not posting for two weeks), nothing too strict.
» I love to plot, but it oftentimes takes me a while to actually approach somebody about plotting. I tend to be quite silent on Discord servers, so I'm looking for something that doesn't force me to stay active on the site's Discord server.
» I'm honestly just looking for a site to relax on and refresh my rusty writing skills. Nothing too gritty and overwhelming. Something simple and relaxing c:

· · · · Yes, I might like this:
» Slice-of-life sites – preferably not based on Harvest Moon and-or Animal Crossing, as my knowledge of these franchises is practically nonexistent and I don't think my characters would really vibe with them (a detective is probably not a good fit for Animal Crossing, oops).
» Urban fantasy – could get behind that, but it depends
» Original sites
» Sites that are easy to get into – While I appreciate the time and effort put into lore-heavy sites, I don't want to spend several hours studying information threads just for the sake of making one character. Maybe someday, but not now.
» Something light-hearted – Not looking for combat sites or anything.
» New sites with small communities – I would prefer a site that is only a few months old at most and has a small community.
» I have a soft spot for historical sites – Ehhh, dark academia? The Victorian era?

· · · · Nah, no:
» Panfandoms
» RL sites, or sites with mixed FCs
» Fandom-based – my knowledge of fandoms is limited to only a few franchises. Even if your site requires little to no knowledge of the source material, I still think I'm going to pass (but you're welcome to suggest your site nonetheless!).
» Established sites with a large playerbase – I'm quite awkward when it comes to joining bigger communities. Pre-established sites (older than a year) with a large member pool is almost always a no from me. 
» Lore-heavy – As said above, I'm looking for something that is easy to get into. 
» Complicated systems – That includes namely stats... and that's the only thing I can think of when it comes to complicated systems. But, yeah, no stats pls.

I think that's it! I probably wanted to write a lot more, but I can't think of anything extra at the moment! So, yeah, throw here your sites  ＾▽＾

A quick Christmas-y update!

❀ A quick heads-up regarding the site (before I forget I've ever posted an interest check for it!): the site is almost finished and up for beta-testing/soft-opening phase. I have no idea when Hanaemi is actually going to open, but I'm giving it a few days at most.

❀ Frankly, I'm terrible with deadlines, so there isn't a set open date for it. It's going to open when it's ready c:

❀ The staff search is still up and running, if someone's interested ^^

That's about it for the quick update. Have a merry Christmas everyone! c:

A quick update:

❀ I'm about 95% done with the skin, I'm steadily starting to work on the info threads ^^

❀ I thought about potentially opening a Discord server before I get sorta done with the site for a potential soft opening (and I must say that I have no idea when the site is going to soft open ^^").

❀ The staff search is still open!

❀ Feedback is still very much appreciated (one of the main reasons why I'm drawn to the idea of setting up a Discord server for this project!) < 3

I think that's all for the update, nothing too major (other than me finally getting the skin to a presentable state)? Thank you so much for the lovely comments so far, it's really uplifting c:

Have a wonderful Friday! ^^
