  1. OOC Tracker

    Hello everyone I go by Unthinker on the OOC and in Discord. So a little bit about me, I'm a 28 year old who is shifting into a full time job that I neither hate nor love who is coming back to roleplaying after about a year or two absence. I use to be very active on the Gaia Online Guild Forums back in the day and ran a Bleach Roleplaying Guild. Optimizing the system and finding ways to break it were a great deal of fun for me, but so was creating rich character driven story arcs. I got into Pathfinder about four years ago around the time my Guild began to decline on Gaia. Eventually the Gaia thing broke apart and so for the last few years most of my roleplaying has been with people sitting around either a real or virtual table. But there was always something so lovely about play by post that I have missed so this is me trying to throw myself back into it. If you have the patience to put up with someone who very much wants to get involved yet is a little nervous about all of it then please send me a message and Id love to try and set something up!

    Likes: Character driven plots. Faction or political based intrigue. Epic story arcs with characters becoming more aware of who they are and want to be. Simple friendships and complicated romance. Im game for just about anything writing wise honestly.
    Dislikes: Excessive focus on only one aspect of a character or story. For instance romance is good but two people who only rp out their own characters love for each other just seems odd to me. A writing buddy is awesome but I feel like a forum offers the opportunity to grow your character in multiple ways with a variety of influence, only focusing on one aspect feels off to me.

    Post Length: Entirely dependent upon inspiration.
    Posting Pace: Between once a day and once every couple of days. With potential for more on days off.

    18+ Threads: Fade to black in all likelihood for anything sexual. There has only been one person who I could even really conceive of getting into any detail with. For violence or gore, sure I don't mind that in the proper tag but Id prefer to know what I was getting into beforehand.

  2. About

    IRL is Isaac, a guy in his late twenties who just got out of a relationship with a guy he met in an online game likely not so different from Terrasphere. Games were always something of an escape for him but going back to his old one reminded him too much of the guy who broke his heart so he jumped at the chance to fall in love with something new. Since its a form of escape for him Ove Dyrendal is very much a separate person to him. He'd try very hard to fit into that role and mindset. Ove is something of what he wishes he was I think. A little younger but more knowledgeable than he was at that age. Perhaps a little jaded and manipulative but at the time that is what feels smart and safe to Isaac. Ultimately though the guy really does need some friends! He's eager to meet people to interact with and try to form a life for himself and move forward from his past rather than let it weigh him down. In a game sense, because despite the escapism he does see it as a game, he'd be focused on being able to play solo until he could find a party and once he was with someone he'd be a support/damage hybrid. When choosing his Mastery he went Pyromancy for raw firepower [heh], Nature for support and Illusion for utility in combat and in social situations. So I see him as being relatively self-sufficient but not staggeringly powerful at any one thing.
