About Me

Name to use Out-of-Character Nambu
Pronouns He/Him
Age 31 [01.17.89]
Activity Moderately-Active

Other Notes
  • I have 18+ Years experience roleplaying - I consider myself something of a veteran in the field.
  • I love to RP, always! However, please understand I work a full-time job, and I also have very debilitating depression, which means that sometimes responses may be slow. RPing with me is a long-term relationship.
  • I love RPing OCs and Canon Characters pretty much equally! I love both Canon x Canon ships and Shipping my OCs with other people's OCs! I am also happy to RP Canon x OC ships, provided we've talked about the OC and why they would make a good match for the Canon Character in question.
  • I am usually pretty flexible as to the content and characters I'm willing to RP, but I also do have some hard and fast rules I don't really like to be tested. You can read more about that in the down-below.
  • NO partners under 18! I will not interact with minors, regardless of story content, and prefer for my RP partners be at least 20+.
RP Location

Comments 
Chats 
Notes 
Forum 
Discord
Google Docs 
Other 

Other Notes
  • Discord is my preference by a landslide. It will get you the promptest response turn-around, and I am able to be on my phone more than I am on my computer/able to access e-mails or other websites.
  • I'm willing to entertain RPing in Character Comments or on each other's Profile Pages on TH.
  • I'm willing to entertain RPing in Notes on TH, provided my partner doesn't delete previous posts in the subsequent notes - I like to re-read prior posts in order to chart a proper heading on where we are going next. 
  • I'm willing to entertain forums like Proboards, but preferably only for group RPs.
  • I'm willing to entertain RPing through other venues, but it isn't very likely that I'll accept the proposal.
  • I will not Roleplay on DeviantArt.
  • I will not Roleplay in Google Docs
  • If we do RP, you must be alright with me archiving a copy to my desktop.
Participants

One on One 
Up to 3 
Up to 4 
5+ 
As Many Parties as Possible

Other Notes
  • Most RPs I've done have been one-on-one, and are therefore the most comfortable.
  • I have done a few larger party RPs, but find that it's harder to mange the more partners become involved;
  • I'm willing to do multiple party Roleplays, however, I very firmly believe in waiting turns and going in a cycle, only breaking pattern if someone waves their turn.
Post Type

Only Chatting About Head Canons
Script Format
Paragraph Format


1 - 2 Sentences 
1 - 2 Paragraphs 
2 - 5 Paragraphs 
5+ Paragraphs 
A few pages worth 

Other Notes
  • While I'm fine with only ever talking chatting about HCs between characters... it is not my preference. The only way I'll be comfortable with our character never actually interacting is if you are very expressive and creative with your HCs, we chat frequently, and we are able to have lots of fun just coming up with HCs. (I only have one friend I feel actively-engages with our ships in spite of never having explored any of our character relationships past simple chats.)
  • Paragraph format is my preference over script. I usually reserve script format for silly, goofy one-shots.
  • As a general rule of thumb, I average anywhere between 5-8 paragraphs, and occasionally may write multiple pages worth of content.
  • I'm a very wordy and verbose author, so there tends to be a lot of meat and potatoes to my posts. Sometimes, it can prove to be a lot for my RP partner to chew on; Please don't ever feel pressured match my length. I don't want that. I write what is comfortable for me. I want you to write what is comfortable for you.
  • That being said - I do feel like 1-2 sentence posts should be reserved for snarky rebuttals or quick and snappy responses used for progressing the plot. I may enjoy writing a lot, but I refuse to carry the story all by myself.
Preferred Character Types

Male 
Female 
Non-binary 
Other

Cisgender 
Transgender
Other

Human

Other 

Other Notes
  • I have a fairly even roster of male & female characters.
  • I am Transgender myself, and have a broad assortment of Trans, Genderfluid, Agender, Genderqueer, NB, and Intersex characters.
  • My RP partners will respect my characters' gender identities & pronouns.
  • I have a strong preference for LGBTQIA+ Ships;
  • I will ship Cis/Het ships, however at this point in time it's not really my thing.
  • I love Humans/Humanoids, Anthropomorphic characters, Original/Open/Closed Species, Demons/Angels, Fae, Monsters, Cryptids, Aliens, Feral OCs, and more!
  • However, please know that when RPing feral characters, there are certain types of stories that I will put a limit on and/or that I don't feel comfortable writing.
RP Types

Action / Adventure 
Horror / Mystery 
Slice of life / Casual 
AUs 
Canonical Universes 
Other 

Other Notes
  • I'm fine with basically any setting, however;
  • I have a VERY STRONG preference for roleplaying characters within their canonical universe. Particularly characters from an existing IP;  I LOVE picking up stories after the original creator has abandoned them, and figuring out where things could go next.
  • I don't often like breaking the canon, unless it's for a specific reason that we've previously negotiated at length, as the entire point of the RP.
  • I don't typically enjoy AUs which are drastically different from the canon - The only exception to this is when an RP partner and I elect to take characters from "overly-complex" or very "out-there" verses (Borderlands, MGS, Hannibal, etc) in order to give them happy/casual/domestic lives, which are not as heavy as the original canon. This is more of a "safe-place" where we can just have fun with ship/s together.
  • I do NOT enjoy AUs simply for the sake of "making things AU"
  • I do NOT particularly enjoy "Reverse AUs", "Highschool/College/Coffee Shop AUs", "Mermaid AUs", etc.
  • I do NOT enjoy ANY RPs that break canon characters or are an excuse for characters to act OCC. If you LIKE a character than RP as THAT character. Not as someone else.
  • I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH MOST PEOPLE'S "TRANS HEADCANONS" - Unfortunately, more often than not, I have found these sorts of headcanons to be grossly transphobic and rooted in ugly gender-biases, which rely heavily upon; broad generalizations, preconceived assumptions about gender and gender-roles, and which force characters into outdated black-and-white binary boxes (example: "this character cries a lot, or over-compensates for his masculinity, so he must actually be a trans man!"/"This character acts in a feminine manner or likes dresses/make-up, so he must actually be a trans woman!").
    Being trans is not cute. It's not a costume. It's not the hip new thing to do with characters. I feel extremely uncomfortable when it's done just for fetishistic reasons, or to add unnecessary drama/angst. Therefore, as a general rule of thumb; I probably won't RP any story which features canon characters being rebranded as transgender individuals. (Trans OCs are 100% A-Okay, as mentioned in the above! To me, these are entirely separate issues.)
Shipping

Never 
Must be planned in advance 
Characters must know each other 
Depends on the character & situation 

Exclusive Relationships 
AU relationships with others 

Other Notes
  • Shipping is one of, if not my favorite, things about RP; I rarely Roleplay anything that isn't ship related, so it's pretty unlikely that I will RP with someone who refuse to ship characters.
  • Ships don't necessarily have to be planned in advance. Sometimes it just happens that two (or more) characters happen to be the right fit. I'm okay with letting things evolve organically!
  • Characters don't need to know each other in order to be shipped; I'm fine with writing the beginning of a new relationship. In fact, sometimes that's the best part - figuring out how two characters get together!
  • All in all each pairing is unique and should be handled as such - fluctuating from character to character and situation to situation.
  • I'm fine with exclusive relationships, I'm fine with open relationships, I'm also fine with AUs which pair different the same character with different partners.
ship Speed

Immediately 
Fast 
Average 
Slow and steady 
Molasses, I want to suffer 
Depends on the characters 

Other Notes
  • Speed doesn't really matter to me. Again; it all depends on the ship and the story that we are trying to tell.
Smut

Never 
Fade-To-Black
Tasteful Details
Lewd, But To-The-Point
Graphic or Explicit Scenes
Smut Occurs Multiple Times In A Given Work

Other Notes
  • I won't lie: writing smut is one of my favorite parts of roleplaying. It's a lot of fun, and feels like a reward to me. But I also like developing a story and character/world-building. Smut is just cake, or ice-cream, or pie - something decadent and rich that I absolutely adore.
  • However! - I understand not everyone feels the same way. Some people are uncomfortable writing smut. Sometimes my partner and I have ace characters/ships. I might get a little bored if I am completely forbade from ever mentioning the "S-word" at all, in any relation to any and all of our ships, but I'm definitely willing to work with my partner & their character's comfort levels.
Shipping Art

Feel Free To Draw Art Of Our Characters/Ships
Feel Free To Post Art Of Our Characters/Ships
Feel Free To Draw Smut Of Our Characters/Ships
Feel Free To Post Smut Of Our Characters/Ships

I Like Drawings Which Include - Hugs/Cuddles 
I Like Drawings Which Include - Kisses 
I Like Drawings Which Include - Sexual Acts (Mild)
I Like Drawings Which Include - Sexual Acts (Explicit)

Other Notes
  • I LOVE seeing art of our characters/ships! I am literally happy if someone even just draws me stick figures. I will literally treasure it forever. You can draw whatever you want of our characters/ships!
  • However, I'd prefer if you show me before posting steamy pics, and - of course - be responsible about where you post them.
  • This goes without saying (because I refuse to interact with minors, but;) must be 18+ to create 18+ works.
Violence

No violence at all 
Discuss it with me first 
Comfortable With Violence 

Verbal Arguments
Mild Violence
Average Violence (Stabbing, Fist fight, etc.) 
Extreme Violence (Torture, Abuse, etc.) 

Other Notes
  • I'm fine with any level of violence in an RP - provided we agree upon that threshold together - up until the point of character death. Unless it has been discussed previously, please do not assume that it's okay to write a major character death. 
  • On the opposite end of the spectrum; I'm good with RPs with little-to-no violent content. I'm a big sucker for that wholesome content, after all. But if there's no violence, there should at least be a healthy peppering of character drama.
Psychological Problems

I'm Comfortable With - Neurotypical Characters
I'm Comfortable With - Neurodivergent Characters

Depression, Anxiety, OCD (Mild Disorders)
Bipolar, PBD, DID, Schitzophrenia (Complicated Disorders) 
Trauma Survival/PTSD (Physical, Psychological, Emotional or Sexual Abuse)

Other Notes
  • I am neurodivergent, myself.
  • I am fine with neurotypical & neurodivergent characters alike, and am happy to do roleplay featuring basically any form of disorder or trauma - just so long as both parties have done their research and proper respect is given it's due.
Dramatic / Violent Artwork

Feel Free To Draw Arguments From Our RPs
Feel Free To Draw Mild Violence From Our RPs
Feel Free To Draw Average Violence From Our RPs
Feel Free To Draw Extreme Violence From Our RPs

I Like Drawings Which Include - Mental Stress or Self Harm 
I Like Drawings Which Include - Mild Depictions (scrapes, bruises...) 
I Like Drawings Which Include - Average depictions (open wounds...) 
I Like Drawings Which Include - Extreme depictions (dismemberment, torture...) 

Other Notes
  • Just like with shipping works of art, I'm happy to receive art featuring the more dramatic or violent portions of a roleplay;
  • blood, gore, trauma, and open wounds are all A-Okay!
  • Mental stress or trauma is A-Okay!
  • Self Harm CAN make me uncomfortable. If it's your character: I won't stop you. If it's my character: ask first.
  • NO CHARACTER DEATH, PLEASE!!! Unless it's something that we've RP'd/plotted out together, I probably don't want to see it.
