Roleplay Partners Needed

[Dandead10]

(I am looking for a partner and or partners to roleplay with. I have recently participated in two roleplays, but both seem to be dead due to inactivity. I am looking for active roleplayers. My OC Senshi Odayakama is a female marine seaman recruit. I would enjoy marine superiors to dictate her perhaps, maybe somebody just looking to do a mission, or something else. I'm not very experienced on this roleplay site yet, but I am working to improve my skills by being here as well as making new friends. Antagonists, allies, etc. Really anything is welcome. Plots and or other things can be discussed about to satisfy the needs of all parties. Arigato, signing off Dandead10 aka Senshi Odayakama. )

I wouldnt mind another rp. I have one of each a bounty hunter and a pirate. Let me know what you have in mind and which one you would like and ill link their profile. I also have a marine but he might be archived. Ive never completed a thread with him.

I guess if you're up for a plot thread, I've got two "Marine-friendly" characters. The first would be Herba, my ancient C-Rank Marine and the leader of PARASITE. I can't say if you'd get a spot in a thread, but I could do a plot thread or mission thread with him. The other character would be Zombie, which has a somewhat misleading name as he's an E-Rank (through parts and hardware limitations) robot with the personality/memories of a deceased Marine. He's also open for a plot or mission thread, but he's considered a fugitive from the World Government currently, so it'd probably be a cat-and-mouse/forced alliance/unknown identity-styled plot.

I'm down for whatever, though, so I guess PM or let me know what you're thinking. Both could act (even Zombie) as inspiring or teaching-influences on your character (Akitaki is a dedicated Marksman/Gunfighter while Herba is a drilled Marine). I'm fairly flexible, but I will admit that it's possible Herba might have to drop the thread once PARASITE is ready to launch. It's not likely to be any time soon, but it's a possibility I should warn about.

(Hmm well Senshi Odayakama is basically a sort of jack of all trades in many common aspects. I was thinking either doing a mission, and perhaps on the way to wherever we meet each other. Now as for pirate or bounty hunter. If you would like you could be the main antagonist seeing a pirate vs a marine would be amazing for that. Now, we could do a mission where we head off somewhere to do something excitable with combat, or if any of you have plot ideas let me know. I am pretty sure all of you have more experience then myself, and seeing she is a seaman recruit, I don't imagine her seeing combat anytime soon. As for Roin, your marine might be wanted more to fit in this, but I'm not entirely sure seeing I have not roleplayed with a robotic before. Senshi is a OK cook, moderate shot with a gun, decent at martial arts, and her highest proficiency is with a sword.)

You don't need brackets. Just noticed you doing it. It's only really needed if you're in an RP thread (or doing a quick side mention such as this honhonhon), but that's off the topic. Figured I'd let ya know that.

I think an encounter with Zombie would allow them a far more "stable" environment regardless of if it's a plot or mission, but if she's seeking to become a swordswoman, then Herba might be the better option. Despite being old (he's obviously fit for duty), the guy's baton fighting is based heavily off swordsmanship. If it's a mission you're looking to do, there's quite a few basic ones for combat with a few that are sorta... passive? Personally, I think a good way to get your ball rolling (and avoid a thread slowing until it dies) is to take a plot thread since people can only have one per character at a time. If you're just looking for a potential burn thread, though, I suspect you'd do fine with any of the missions and either Otto (I believe that's who the Banana is, he changed names IIRC a while back) or myself would be active for you.

As for experience: Don't worry about that. Anyone who's experienced can certainly dial back their writing's pacing/amount of content to make it a bit easier on you. Focus more on what you think will get the best story, the best experience for you as an RPer, and what could help your character the most. After all, she's still a Seawoman with a VERY long road ahead of her with a canvas just as blank.

[Dandead10]

Hmm well I was on swabbing the decks, and MME-8 and I believe they just about died. I would indeed enjoy meeting a potential teacher to progress her swordsmenship. Possibly we could do a mission to where she gets transferred to another base somewhere in the blues where she meets you depending on where you are. She is 17 may I say tell minimum age to join the marines. I am not entirely sure what kind of mission may suit you all, but seeing like you said she is a blank canvas that can be molded. I'm not entirely sure how long you all like to make your threads, but at maximum my threads have been 1000 words. I am a pretty flexible roleplayer and am just looking for some new buds to work with. Whatever OC you think fits for you, then by all means do what you wish. As a newbie on here I'll take whatever advice you have to offer. Thank you very much for responding btw. It's a pleasure meeting you both so far.

[Roin]

Looking at your prior threads (Swabbing is a Plot, MME-8 is obviously a mission), I don't really see how either is really "dead". MME-8 is only a week since Marque posted, and it's only been 4 days for Swabbing the Decks. Neither of those times really scream "dead" (Marque was last on 2 or 3 days ago, I think), but if you think they're dead then you need to make an exit post in both (not MME-8, as you already double-posted for some reason?).

I will say, though, that if you're looking for a thread that moves every 3-5 days, it's going to be very hard-pressed with a lot of members on the site. A "dead" thread on BV is often closer to a month since the last post (so 30 days compared to the 7 you've waited for MME-8). If you're looking for a mission, picking one out from both the Standard and Marine-only lists would give you options for Otto's BH and Pirate (if he still has the pirate) and my Criminal and Marine.

If you're looking to do a plot after all, however, then please provide an exit post to Swabbing the Deck. Last I checked, we allowed people to exit in that fashion so they can continue RPing if the thread is slow (or if the group involved want to continue it). So if you're looking for a more "canon" and development-focused thread, then that's what I'd advise doing so you can move out of that thread and Druins, Marque, and z0 can continue whatever they wanted to do with it without damaging the thread too much.

Im up for whatever you guys want to do wouldnt mind getting a bit of a bounty with Shimmer if you guys want a chase. But I dont want to get caught. Or maybe we can go after the same crook with my bounty hunter. Or i can tag along with my marine.

Shimmer- pirate

I double posted for MME-8 due to Marque having not responded. I was having a separate conversation with Z0 and I believe he is going to be gone from the thread. I'm not sure permanently or temporarily. The problem with Swabbing the Deck is that we aren't entirely quite sure how we want to progress the plot. I believe I shall leave Swabbing The Decks.

Also I am wondering if I can do a mission all by myself, or if I must do it with another person to gain any experience. I'm going to make a exit post right now, and then we can talk. Anyways, I'm not that picky over anything so, whatever you all feel like doing. Marque btw has not been around since the 18th of February I believe. If he has been around I haven't seen him. I'll leave MME-8 alone for now in case he does come back. As for a pirate chase, that would be interesting. Shimmer is a Fishman pirate, it seems very interesting to me. I'm up for that, but shall we be discussing about what kind of combat may or may not be involved?

As for one of us playing a marine, a superior leading the expedition to catch this pirate would be great for plot possibly. I would like my character to get a small taste of battle, after all every seaman recruit needs to get combat experience somehow. Whatever you guys are looking for we can try to implement. I hope to gain experience with roleplaying with some of the more senior members of this group.

[Dandead10]

I was wondering. For mission threads, do you have to do it with another person? Marque has been inactive on MME-8 and so I'm wondering if I can just continue on. It's been another three days, so I'm assuming I can just do another post right? I would appreciate it if somebody could answer my question here. Also as for the rp we may be doing. Any ideas on what kind of rp your looking for?

[Roin]

No. You can't "keep doing" any type of thread. If people stop posting, you're allowed a single extra post to end the thread if you want. Otherwise, you have to submit it/end it. Since you already double-posted in it, you can't post again, as a note.

[Dandead10]

Another question. Is it required for you to do a roleplay thread with another person, or can you do one entirely by yourself? Just a question that would make a really big difference. Also does anyone have any ideas on what the plot and or mission should be about? As for OC well, play as whatever your most preferred character is. We can choose a good plot or mission that fits with our characters.

[Dandead10]

You know what? I'll let one of you two create a thread seeing you both are far more experienced then I. I'll join in once you two go so I can get a firm grasp of what is needed. Also, I would like to know what roleplay advice you could give me. We can use this area to discuss what we will do next in the roleplay. Also I believe chasing down Shimmer would make a good plot. It would be wise for Otto to start, then Roin, and myself last. If either of you want to do something different then please speak up. I'll be looking foward to seeing you gentlemen in a roleplay. We don't have to do this idea, we can discuss something else. Also I believe I exited "Swabbing the Decks" successfully. I just went ahead and told them inside the thread that I will no longer be participating, and that I hope that they will understand.

[The Shimmering Banana]

Ok, if yur looking to use Shimmer itll have to be a mission. I was thinking.

Mission #20
The Marine base, Nararone has recently put up a reward for anyone that is willing to show them and find out flaws in their security. Get in and out without being caught. But even though this is supposed to be a test, maybe the Marines are actually believing you're guilty of something? What's going on here? Has someone set you up? Get to the bottom of this mess.

What do you think?

[Dandead10]

Fantastic Otto. I think you should make the thread and start first then. Roin will go next and then me. Also, I am sure we can agree that she won't be caught. I'm thinking that it would be best if we did it this way, but does that mean I will have to submit MME-8 in order to do a different mission?
