  1. So I came across this image the other day and I'm quite fond of it. I'd really like to do something with this. I've got a few different ideas but I'm also totally open to suggestions. If it wasn't obvious, it's the female character that I'm more interested in, the male one could be that one or a different image. I'd rather play the male side of the RP but I could be open to playing the female instead. The main things I'd like as part of the RP would be Exhibition/risky situations A more assertive, confident or cocky female character that kind of wears the pants, not a submissive one The guy can be a bit more on the submissive side, pushed around by her a bit but not necessarily in a mean-spirited or hurtful way. If anyone is interested, let me know! Commenting here is fine but I'm also okay with people sending me an EcchiText if they'd prefer that. Like I said, I have a couple of fairly loose ideas but I'm totally open to suggestions. If someone likes the image but they aren't sure what to do with it, let me know and I'll give a few brief lines of some of the ideas I had.
  2. I'm not especially picky on the specifics at the moment, but the general idea is an RP where one of us plays a character with significant power. There are several ways this sort of RP could take place One character finds a genie that they manage to take advantage of for more than what they'd normally get in wishes Someone decides to make a deal with a devil/demon and the fiend finds the request or character interesting/amusing enough that they decide to stick around to entertain themselves. There's a powerful spirit of some sort that's been bound to some mundane object and someone either figures out how to control them to some extent, or they free them and the spirit sticks around out of gratitude or some sort of obligation of service. There's an incredibly powerful mage pretty much hiding in plain sight and a mortal figures out their secret, or maybe the magician just found someone interesting they wanted to spend time around before they move on. Someone finds an artifact or spellbook that gives them incredible powers and they decide to test them out to see what they can do. These are just a few ideas, I'm open to others. I don't mind playing either the character with power or the one(s) they interact with. As far as setting goes, I'm fine with something modern like present day to recent history (just before cellphones if we don't want to deal with how many things they'd potentially mess with), or some sort of medieval setting, either fantasy or non-fantasy (outside of the supernatural character). See my preference sheet for things I tend towards and things I avoid.
  3. Your first and third ideas seemed pretty interesting to me. Are you still open to RP?
  4. Thanks! Will do. It's good to meet you. So far everyone has been pretty nice and cool.
  5. My post length preferences vary based on several factors. I'm fine with shorter posts if they're more frequent (habit from RPing over messengers for years) and if they're less plot intensive. This story I'd like to have the more intensive posts but I'd be happy to discuss doing a different RP over EcchiText if you'd like.
  6. Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! If I have a question that the resource documents can't answer for me (or I can't find) I'll be sure to message a staff member.
  7. For this RP, I'm looking for someone that is okay with writing very long posts and has a good grasp of spelling and grammar (or maybe uses something like Grammarly). I'm fine with posts taking time between responses, I'd prefer you give your best and wait days or even weeks if you feel like that's what you need. If you're interested in RPing with me but feel like you don't meet the above requirements, feel free to EcchiText me, I've got some other old ideas that I'm sort of sitting on that I'd be fine discussing. My simpler ideas I'm more cool with shorter posts and more lax about grammar/spelling. TL;DR: A world with humans, furries, and kemonomimi (nekos and the like); the world was futuristic with Sci-Fi aspects but also augmented with magic (magi-tech Sci-Fi). I once upon a time had a roleplay with a fictional world (and some characters) that I was rather fond of, and wouldn't mind revisiting it. I'll try to summarize. I mostly really like the world and want to do something with it again, preferably with a partner that likes both world building and character development, and isn't opposed to lengthier (if somewhat less frequent) posts. The spoilers represent text from the original RP from ages ago. I do my best to do a shorter summary if you don't want to read all of that. Background/History: Shorter summary: The world of humanity, at some point, managed to rediscover magic[1]. Combining magic with technology, they were finally able to make significant technological breakthroughs including intergalactic travel. They found a planet that was largely uninhabitable but rich in a crystal that amplified magic, but they weren't the only ones interested in those crystals. A race of furries[2] was also there to mine crystals, and this started a long conflict between furries and humans. The furries were physically superior to humans, and had greater technology, and their mages were much stronger than human mages; humans, on the other hand, had the advantage of numbers overall, as well as having mages more commonly among their kind (while furry mages were incredibly powerful, they were very rare; human mages varied in strength but were not nearly as 'exceptional') [3]. Not much about the war or this era was ever fleshed out. I've got some ideas for it, but the short story is that the war was basically equal on both sides for a long time, until Cyrbrans appeared out of nowhere and destroyed earth [4]. Similar to the ending of Watchmen (either movie or comic), when this strange threat appeared, it ended up somewhat 'uniting' the two sides. With humanity's homeworld destroyed, though the humans managed to evacuate before its destruction, humans lost the war against the furries. The furries basically ended up taking them in since humanity had nowhere else to go (due to the war, neither side had much chance to colonize to an extent that humanity could just get another home planet). That's the general backdrop of the RP, the history of the world. Present Day: In present day, the RP took place on the furry homeworld, which now had a significant human population. Furries, of course, were at the top of the pecking order. They were the privileged class, more or less. Humans weren't necessarily treated awful, but they were much more middle class (by the US definition; if you're in the UK, working class is probably more appropriate) and had much less presence in government or anywhere high ranking. Some humans managed to work their way up the food chain, but generally speaking, the bottom 90% of a company would be something like 80% humans and 5-10% furry, while the top 10% would be 9% furry and 1% human. Racial tensions obviously existed between the two, but other than the occasional radical, there wasn't a ton of challenge to the status quo. Then there was the bottom of the barrel, third-class citizenry - mutts, half-breeds, aka Kemonomimi (nekos, inus, etc.) They were originally born of a union between humans and furries and were looked down upon by either race. Some were products of legitimate relationships, others of rape, but by now they have their own population from offspring amongst themselves as well as the occasional born of an inter-racial relationship [6]. Furthermore, the male population is significantly smaller than the female population due to the war (that explanation was never really fleshed out), and as such, laws were enacted to allow individuals to have multiple spouses; this generally meant one male having multiple wives and didn't really happen the other way around, which was the plot of the original RP - the female lead planning on having multiple partners/mates [7] and used a new form of magic she developed to do so. I had a number of characters and she cast a spell/ritual on them to alter their views/opinions of her. She did this to different extents - one was a friend of hers, one was her boss (who she was most interested in), one was a coworker (that she hated) and the last one was a rich playboy son of a politician. 1. In the original description, it was after humanity nearly destroyed itself with war and technology. This was mostly background and not a detail I'm married to. 2. Their planet was called Podoboo and their species referred to as Podians. Full disclosure, the name of the planet is based on my own screen name. Willing to change this. 3. Some of this was present in the thread, some I'm embellishing because it makes sense to me. Most of these details are open to change if you have suggestions. 4. I can't actually tell you much about Cybrans. Those were Iexist's creation and they had most of the creative control over them and was kinda secretive about what Cybrans actually were. They clearly had plans, but the thread never got far enough for me to find out about them. What I can tell you is that they're hugely magic resistant, and seem to be soulless robots[5], but other than that, and the fact that they're clearly malevolent, not much is known about them. 5. I specify soulless robots because, in this setting, it was actually possible to create and imbue a soul onto some artificial intelligence based robots with the use of crystals and magic. Intelligent Devices (I.D.s) are a somewhat prominent part of this world. For the most part, they were just AI based, with programming, not unlike a smartphone, but two of the main characters augmented their I.D.s to have souls and personalities. 6. While this aspect of the world/RP isn't strictly necessary, I do think the world is more interesting for it. If it's something that makes you uncomfortable, I'm willing to take it out, but would prefer to keep it if that's an option. 7. This whole thing was basically just to create the plot of the original RP which was supposed to be haremesque. I don't mind keeping it, but I'm also willing to modify or ditch it entirely. I'm more attached to the other aspects of the world than this particular If this sounds interesting to you, but you have more questions, either about the world or just me as an RP'er in general, feel free to ask. I copy-pasted most of this from somewhere else and made some edits but if something seems confusing, I probably just missed something so please do ask if there's something unclear to you.
  8. Hello everyone! I go by Boo (short for Podoboo) and I'm new to EcchiDreams, though not to roleplaying. I've been doing that for years now, developing my writing skills over that time. I've been part of (and in fact admin of) another forum that went through several incarnations. Unfortunately, after seeing people (and different forum hosts) come and go for over a decade, the community has shrunk and I haven't really played there in a while. I'm interested in getting back into roleplaying and figured maybe it's finally time to branch out and find a new community to join. This seems pretty close to what I'm used to (my forum had a recruit thread system that seems kind of comparable to the public club and private adverts, compared to other places that wanted you to make a character and people found OCs they wanted to play with rather than stories/scenarios/etc.) Some things are still different so I'm still trying to figure everything out. I've already set up a preferences thread and I don't really have a specific RP idea in mind so... I guess I just keep an eye out for something that catches my eye. Anyway... hopefully I'll manage to fit in here without any problems.
  9. My preferences on length and G/S competence actually vary based on the type of roleplay I'm currently doing. Something that's more smut/sex oriented, ones that are more there to satisfy a kink/scratch an itch, I don't mind shorter roleplays, shorter posts, and as long as spelling and grammar are reasonable, I'll be fine. As I'm not being pulled out of verisimilitude (not sure if that phrasing is exactly correct but w/e) every other sentence because it takes me a moment to decipher what is being written. Spelling errors are fine as long as they aren't gratuitous (I often google a word when I think I'm way off on spelling) and precise grammar isn't important as long as I can understand what you meant. No "txt speech" (u, 2, r, h8, etc.) please. (the obvious exception being if the characters are actually texting or on an online chat and they would communicate like that). However, in the case of threads that are more serious in intent, ones that I'm focused on the plot or characters and not just the acts or simple scenario, I tend to prefer Long (1-3 paragraphs) or longer posts on average. I don't mind posts being a bit short if you don't have much to say at that particular moment but want the thread to move along. However, I'd rather a thread not devolve into 2-4 sentences per post. I don't mind waiting on a reply for something with more substance, or just reaching out and saying "I don't have anything to say here" and moving along. For these threads, I prefer grammar and spelling to be knowledgeable. I'm not going to get overly academic - I won't be critical of the excessive use of commas or get upset about split infinitives - but I treat these sorts of roleplaying as collaborative storytelling, and as such would prefer to maintain that sort of consistent style of fiction. I have a strong preference for third person perspective. I'm also not a huge fan of Japanese culture. I don't mind if a character is intentionally Japanese for story purposes, but my default assumption would be that the threads are taking place somewhere more similar to the US (or whatever fantasy trope). For the most part, this isn't a big thing, I don't mind taking parts from that country/culture that you might find interesting, but I will say this specifically: I do not like the use of Japanese honorifics.
