Roleplay Looking for a writer to worldbuild and roleplay with
Hello everybody, you can call me Coalst. Let's rapid fire through some basics: I'm a 20 year old university student, I'm a transgender woman, and I'm looking for a writing partner! My main medium of writing has been roleplay first and worldbuilding second.
I have been roleplaying on and off for an entire decade now, most of my experience comes from text based video game RP servers, small and big private friend groups, so on and so forth. However, despite my love for writing and roleplay as a whole, life got busy. I just don't have the time to spend 6-8 hours a day just to be in loop with storylines and what people are up to. I've tried writing and worldbuilding on my own time, but it just hasn't hit the spot as much as I'd like it to, and when there's no one else to keep me in check, projects tend to fall off eventually. Even though I haven't had much experience writing/roleplaying one on one, I'm imagining this to be a more manageable way to experience the hobby.
Here are some things I enjoy/I'm looking for:
- I'm looking for something slow brew and low pressure. I'm relatively busy, I will of course make time for roleplay and replies, but there will be certain days or weeks where I'm busy with exams or just social life. So I'd like someone patient, and someone that likes to play out scenarios and stories over the course of months, not days or weeks.
- I like worldbuilding, anyone who wants to nerd out and build something unique, and in turn play OCs and follow a story in that world are more than welcome.
- I'm into dystopian settings. Something about the collapse of society and what regular people live through under it intrigues me to no end. (A small clue here is that I tend to prefer roleplaying things through the lens of the 'average joe in outstanding situations'.) This can range from anything corny and saturated like the zombie genre (TWD, TLOU, DL, 28DL etc.) to nuclear/climate disasters, or totalitarian dystopias. I'm still open to hear you out of course!
- I don't mind things going NSFW, so long as its tasteful, and its not the centerpiece of the story.
Lastly, I'm not an amazing writer. I think I have a decent enough style of writing, vocabulary, and knowledge of the English language to provide a good enough experience. I love getting lost in what I'm writing though and I get really passionate about my storylines. It's been a while, so I'm rusty, but I'm sure when I'm back on my groove I'll most likely be providing long winded descriptions of my character's psyche, their expressions and moves, and the environment around them.
