-Welcome!-
--Under Construction--
If you're here, I assume it's because you want to know about my role playing. I get a lot of questions on this subject, so I decided I should make a page to answer all those questions, as well as offer a nice list for people to see my pets and learn a little about their role play niches.
Keep in mind that this is not a site meant to teach you how to role play. If you do not know how and would like to learn, check out my RP guide
here.
Well, I really don't have anything else to say, so let's move on!
-----
-General Role Play Questions-
Q. Do you rp?
Well...obviously, as this whole site is dedicated to it.
Q. Will you teach me how?
Nope. Not here, anyway. I don't have the time to instruct everyone who asks, so I made
this page to help out with that.
Q. What is your rp style?
I hesitate to label myself, but if I had to I would call myself an advanced role player. I focus heavily on description and detail to help set the stage for a role play. I spend less time describing my characters' physical appearance and more time describing their personality. I believe looks say less about a character than their actions do.
Q. Do you do casual RPs?
Generally no. I find them boring. If one of my pets is going to meet one of yours, I want there to be a reason. I also want the RP to go somewhere other than just two pets sitting and chatting. I generally like to have some sort of plot outlined before we start. Also, I enjoy role plays that serve a special purpose, but I'll explain those later. Please note that Eynkido is my ONLY pet who is open for "casual" RPing. For you to rp with any other pet of mine, be prepared to braintorm at least a mini-plot with me.
Q. What are 'special RPs'?
This is the term I use for role plays involving my pets that have a big significance in the course of their lives. Many of my pets are hard to RP with just anyone, and they need a special sort of pet to come along and fill the desired roll. I'll list any of these special RPs in
bold by the profile of the pet for which they are meant.
Q. May my pet be your pet's friend?
My pets are always looking for friends! But remember, they don't get along with just anyone. Make sure our pets are compatible before you ask.
Q. May my pet by your pet's enemy?
Again, sure! Rivalries and clashes are fun! But as with friends, they should be compatible enemies. They should have a legitimate reason for not getting along, not just that one of them likes chunky peanut butter and the other creamy.
Q. May my pet by your pet's parent/child/etc.?
A lot of my pets are related to each other already, and are not looking for family. I suppose there are a few options, but I'm strict about that. I am very particular about my pets' pasts and families. It is very unlikely that one of your pets would have a past that was compatible enough with mine to be family, but you're welcome to bring it up.
Q. May my pet date your pet?
Very few of my pets are actually interested in casual dating. Most of them require an in-depth role play before they would fall in love. Truthfully, I'm a lovesick at heart and I'm always open to the idea of potential mates for my pets. Sadly though, very few seem to fit what I'm looking for, so most of my pets are single. If you think your pet is just made for one of mine, though, please drop me a line! I'd be happy to negotiate.
Q. May my pet just link to yours?
If you aren't interested in a formal RP but still want your pets to associate with mine, there is always the option of linking. I will be happy to link to your pet on my pet's profile without an in-depth RP. Here as always though, I must find your pet interesting and well developed before I will do so.
Q. What's with all the, 'The ____ One' stuff on your lookups?
Nothing really. They're just titles I give to my pets. I pick the one word that I think describes them better than any others and make that their title. It's just another fun way to sort of unify all my pets.
Q. Is this all the info you have on RP with your pets?
Nope. If you would like to know more about role playing with a specific pet, you can check out their petpages. Each one has a role play section that will tell you everything you need to know. However, a lot of my pages are under construction, in which case you'll have to rely on this information for now.
Q. Why are you so picky?
I don't really think I am, but I'm sorry if you think so. I do have very high standards, but this is because I am short on time. I only want to role play if I know it is going to be fun and worth my time. Also, most of my pets live in an old-world setting. They just don't do well with the average chatty modern teen pets that dominate the RP scene nowadays. I'm also a little burned out. I've dealt with a lot of stuff RP-wise and I'd rather just narrow it down to role plays I actually enjoy.
Q. Do you prefer long-term or short-term?
Long-term, definitely. I like to keep a good RP partner around once I find them. My characters grow from interacting with others, and I like them to have consistent friends in their lives.
Q. Can we role play multiple pets?
If I like you, then yes! Once I find a good RPer, I generally try to have as many of my pets associate with as many of theirs as I can. It provides a lot of creative outlet, and it strengthens our bond.
Q. Are you willing to start role plays?
Yes! I love posting intros. I know a lot of people don't, but I enjoy being the one to lay down the setting. Never fear: if intros aren't your thing, don't let it discourage you. I'll happily write them.

My FAQ
Special Role Play: Gelgamich could do with some young energy in his life. I have an ideal of having him meet some young orphaned pup, preferrably male, to whom he could act as surrogate father. I would like the pup to help him remember what joy there is to be found in life.

-Non Neo-Related Role Play-
A lot of people have been putting things up like this, so I though I'd do the same. It's easier than posting it every time I make a thread on the Neoboards.
What I'm Looking For: I like long-term role plays. I like to get to know the people behind the characters as well. The more familiar I get with a person and their characters, the more fun the both of us will have and the more growing we will both do.
I consider myself an advanced role player, and am really only interested in the same. However, as long as you have a good grasp of the English language, as well as an ability to breathe life into your RPs, then I'm quite happy.
I dislike group role plays, preferring to create worlds one-on-one with someone. There's more freedom that way.
Things You Probably Want to Know: I role play over neomail, on the neoboards, and the messengers starting with A and Y, though much preferrably A. That is all.
I have no limits. However, this does not mean I will allow RPs to turn into bloodfests, among other things. I like *tactful* writing. Subtlety is a virtue, my friends.
Yes, I double, and triple, and quadruple, and...you get the point. I am willing to play more than one character, or however many are needed for a scene. I think this is only fair since I don't do group RPs. However, I usually only have one main character, and use the rest I RP as support.
Do I play both genders? Yup, but because I do not play genders so much as I do characters, you may not get the gender you want. For example, all my main medieval/fantasy characters are male, and my main modern character is female.
Oh the gender issue, I also believe love knows no gender, and several of my characters are inclined to agree. You figure that one out for yourself.
I always love starting intros. I know a lot of people don't so I am happy to do this.
Plots are fun! I get bored easily without them. It doesn't have to be an epic storyline, just *something* to happen to prevent our characters from standing around doing nothing but talking.
Things I Dislike: Everyone has genres and specifics that they simply won't do. Here are mine:
Most anime fandoms, as well as anime made-ups.
Vampires, with the exceptions of Buffy.
Sick pairings like fatherxdaughter and brotherxbrother. Don't even get me STARTED on these.
Things I Like: Here are the genres of role play I do like, along with some info about who I play in them. If you are intrigued by one of my original characters, tell me and I'll happily tell you more about them.
My current genre(s) of choice is/are: Medieval Fantasy, Nausicaa, Buffy
Medieval Fantasy--I'll do pretty much anything within this perameter, as long as it isn't too outrageous. I don't like odd species hybrids and all-powerful characters.
I play three males for medieval fantasy. They are Ryujine, a ranger in his early twenties who is stoic and mysterious (he's my favorite), Shrike, a solitary hunter who is merciless and dangerous, and his brother Peregrine, a kind and talkative traveling healer.
Future Fantasy--I'm new at this one, but I like what can be done with magic and technology that has yet to be invented. Ask me about my idea for a futuristic setting called New Aqualius, an industrial city that thrives on magnetic power. I play a boy named Andy. He's very, very eccentric and energetic, liking to run around in leather jackets, dogtags, and kilts.
Modern--Pretty much anything you can think of. I like creative plots and settings. I play Karma, a shy Bohemian artist (she can do anything, as I rp her at almost all ages), as well as Andy, who fits into regular modern as well. There is also Ian, a regular high school student who is a little worrisome and overprotective. I often RP him with his mischievous younger sister, Lenny.
Wolf--I like realism here. Wolves can talk and have decidely human behaviors, but no unusual colors, magic, elements, jewelry, wings, etc. I play Khulil, a young raven-black wolf who is alpha of the Gravelwood Wolf Pack. Sometimes I play Khulil as a lone wolf as well, if the situation calls for it.
Any other idea that is not listed in my dislikes and that you do not see here, I am willing to try.
Now, here are the series, books, shows, etc. that I do.
Books:
Harry Potter (Present and Future)--Since the books are done, I really only do made-ups now. I have a few *interesting* characters available. Ask me about them.
Tamora Pierce (The Immortals Series Only)--I RP Daine and Numair best, but will add others as well (Weiryn, Alanna, Kaddar, Kitten, Cloud, The Badger, Rikash, etc.)
Lord of the Rings--I have a made-up male Hobbit named Brillewo, as well as a few characters I use in LotRO. Sorry, I don't RP canon.
Movies:
Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind--Nausicaa or Asbel, but will add others (Yupa, Mito, Teto, etc.)
TV Shows:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer--I prefer the later seasons, and am most comfortable with Spike or Buffy (will play Xander, Willow, and Giles for support)
Video Games:
Suikoden III--My favorite video game to RP. Will do either Borus or Chris, but am open to most of the 108 Stars.
Final Fantasy X--I play Tidus best.
Harvest Moon--I'll play Karen or Jack from 64, and Kurt or Jill from Magical Melody, or Gwen, Kurt, or Jack from save the Homeland.
