Come Meet Ri ~ 2 Slots open!
 
"Are you looking for a dependable partner to fulfil your summer roleplaying needs? I may then have just what you are looking for, friend. ;)

I am Ri'Staraa - a man of many convenient talents who hails from the lustrous city of Calimport in Faerun. I love a good deal, a great adventure and ... stimulating companionship.

Please, come in! My home is small, but it houses the finest comforts my world has to offer. Before you and I converse, have a seat on my silk cushions and I'll fetch some figs for us."

The young man who had greeted you takes a peek to his left, where your own eyes might be drawn afterward. A wry smile spreads across his features as he looks away from he hookah there and back to you, his visitor. Aaah... yes. While I admire your interest, I'd have to first make certain you were of age and ready to partake in such delights." He winks. "If not, then I have many other pleasures that I'm sure will delight you just as well..."


((I suppose that's enough of that for now. XD While Ri is one of my role playing characters, feel free to refer to me by that name as well - it makes it a bit easier to know who everyone is speaking of.

This not to say that this rebellious little Arab is the only character I play - far from it, in fact! I'm a well-seasoned gamer (on and off forums) who was raised with Dungeons & Dragons (Ri's origin) and Battletech. I'm open to playing in any variety of settings with any variety of genders and any variety of themes (love? romance? tragedy? violence?) and I will definitely create a new character for a game if asked.

In fact, it is far easier for me to say what I am not willing to do. And that is the following:
  • anything that will break the rules of Mene
  • Cybering - though adult themes are OK (off-site if rating is exceeded)
  • play as a canon character from a story I am unfamiliar with. (OCs OK... maybe)
  • play with someone who is less than semi-lit (Consistent errors will make me cringe)
  • play with someone who cannot bring themselves to post at least once every 2 weeks - you will have the same from me. (Well, you know, if you need a break LET ME KNOW and that's OK. Or even if you'd rather drop the game, LET ME KNOW. Otherwise, you will go on my black list and not one of my fellows in my gaming group will give you the time of day. I am not joking - break this rule and there will be no more Mr. Nice Ri.)

What can you do to pique my interest? Try one (or more of!) these:
  • bring up supernatural elements
  • Come to me with a specific, unique story idea.
  • ask for m/m romance
  • ask for m/m with Ri'Staraa specifically
  • ask for a setting that is not normal, everyday mundane
  • Be online and ready to role play some time during the hours of 7 and 12pm (Central time)
  • Deal with my inevitable barrage of questions that will come after you contact me about a game - I try to get as much info as possible so that my posts can be rich with description.

I'm currently accepting slots for 4 games, with one of those slots on hold for the Avatar: The Legend Beyond Korra game. (See here: http://www.menewsha.com/forum/commun...accepting.html )
And one on hold for a game with Crimson_Hold the Lemon

If I haven't lost you yet, keep reading. My second post will have information on some of my characters, starting with Ri himself. Then I'll go into my fandoms and game ideas.))

~ Characters ~


* A Note: What is the Kinsey scale? This is a system that I have been using to make quick notes on my characters' sexualities. You can learn more here:
Kinsey scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


~ Ri'Staraa ~
Dungeons and Dragons Attributes:

SPOILERX

STR 14
Dex 18
Con 15
Int 16
Wis 11
Cha 14

Race: Air Genasi
Air genasi - NWN2Wiki, the Neverwinter Nights 2 wiki - Races, classes, skills, and more
Air Genasi - AmiaWiki
Class: Rogue (L7) Battle Dancer (L2) (Battle Dancer is a class my husband created - they use a skill called "Combat Cadence" to grab attention and get bonuses to hit an opponent. They can also cast spells up to 4th level, only in stead of casting with music as a Bard does, they use their dance. I can give you more information if you request.)
Age: 17 Birth Date: 10/7
Appearance: Stands at 5'10, weighs 130lbs. His skin is a grayed-out brown hue from living in the desert all his life and he has gray eyes and cerulean blue hair. His skin is always a bit cool to the touch and his eyes always seem cold and distant. He wears flowing silk layers of Arabian style in his free time and dark "shadowy" armor when out adventuring.

He is intrigued by magical items and collects staves and wands and carries several items to enhance his roguish skills - like a pair of goggles to make searching easier. His prized possessions are a pair of short swords which are always at his hips; they are magically enhanced with lightning energy. ("shock")
Kinsey scale rating: 6
Ri is the first completely gay character that I've played in years. The Kinsey scale rating for all 3 characters I made up for my husband's game were all randomly rolled with a D6 and the other two ended up somewhere in the middle (which is where I usually have my characters when I choose their ratings, and is generally more realistic IMHO)
Personality: As an Air Genasi, he is typical in some ways. He is haughty and believes that his element is best, but also holds the same high regard for his homeland of Calimshan. This is not to say that he is overtly rude - any harsh words he would have for someone would remain within his own mind unless he was quite close to them. Calimport society is all about respect and protocol, and as such, he cowtows to his elders and betters and expects others to do the same when it is appropriate.

He is obsessed with becoming in touch with his ancestors who gave him his elemental gifts, and this is the single most common inspiration for his adventuring. And as such, he is attracted to anything that shares a bond with Air. (Things with wings or natural ability to levitate or call upon wind, etc...)

As far as Romance goes, here we need another warning. He is flirtatious - even with women! But his flighty Genasi nature leads him to loose interest really fast and so he can wander from conversations and also only rarely says with one sexual partner. In Calimport, there are brothels abound, so he never found a reason to settle down and be bored if he could just pay for what he needed if he couldn't find it elsewhere. Of course, if the right partner came along, he could certainly be persuaded to stay around....

He is attracted to "manly" men far more than girly ones, and so is often drawn to older partners. He is also devious in courtship - he likes to make his partners crazy with desire. He'll do some chasing but prefers to be chased - but is neither a top nor a bottom entirely.

BLACK LIST
Hurray! No one is here!

Ri'Staraa 07-02-2012 12:49 AM

Reserved for current games (none) and samples

Ri'Staraa 07-02-2012 01:02 AM

Reserved... just in case.

Lunna Dea 07-02-2012 03:47 AM

so do you have any set ideas for Steampunk?

Ri'Staraa 07-02-2012 04:40 AM

((Not at the moment))

Lunna Dea 07-02-2012 05:10 AM

what do you think of a fantasy/steampunk setting? have this little Idea starting to bubble in my head and if you might be interested...

Ri'Staraa 07-02-2012 05:27 AM

((That could work, depending upon the mix of technology and any present magic.))

Lunna Dea 07-02-2012 05:53 AM

Elves and southern magi are the only magic usesers. half elfs have a chance of having magic but its weaker. magic and sciance are used in partnership.

Ri'Staraa 07-02-2012 06:09 AM

((That sounds all right. How much detail do you have worked out in the world? Or would this be mostly improv?))

Lunna Dea 07-02-2012 06:15 AM

well the area I would be thinking of RPing in.... not set up yet other then the bones of it... unless you would like to work in a preset area.

Ri'Staraa 07-02-2012 06:48 AM

((No. I just like to know what I'm working with.))

Squall Ravenhart 07-31-2012 06:35 PM

Hi would you be interested in a group Rp? I've just set up my first, so if you like take a peek. Hope to see you soon :D

p o p p e t ♥ 08-03-2012 01:38 AM

Good Lord, where have you been all my role-playing life?

So, first things first. Are you still looking for a role-play/partner? I am available to post once a day, sometimes more, sometimes less. Before I start throwing ideas at you randomly, maybe you could just click the link in my signature and see what I'm about first. It's my request thread.

If you aren't interested in my style or role-play ideas, just say so! No big deal. I'd much rather you be honest than us both end up in a lame role-play. [;)]

Shadami 09-10-2012 01:38 PM

I'm just getting internet back, and letting you know that sometimes it dies on me. But I'm addicted to role playing and trying to keep up with the stories i get involved with, including keeping the details straight. I definetly would be posting at least once a week. I tend to reply whenever I see a reply to the thread.

As for fandoms- not typically a big fan... I'd rather use my Own characters. Though I like the worlds of many a fandom.

Now Dungeons and Dragons though! I love it. Raised on it. Would love to do an adventure of some kind perhaps. Perhaps an old abandoned castle that you can not escape until you find a certain artifact. And once you enter you are in a 'parrallel' world... on the ghost side. So there are all manners of undead creatures wandering the halls and secret passages of the place.
