“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.” Hello, and thank you for clicking. I'll try not to waste your time- Looking for a GM first and foremost, potentially a couple other players! Hi! My name is Seven/Flow/Ocean. I've been RPing for a good many years now, just around 10, having started from reasonably high-literacy even at my earliest days. I pride myself on my quality and ability to match other players length as to not clog up the chat, but still expand when I need too. I've been playing TTRPG's for around 4 years now, with a hefty focus on the system in question. DND2014/5e. I've played a few others, including a cobbled together Pokemon system I and my friends made for our own purposes. I've done public play-by-posts, private games like this one online, played in long-running IRL and online games, and generally have experience with all manner of IRL and Online games! I live in the Southern states, so CST (I.e. GMT-6) with a pretty open availability for the most part.  Most games are focused on power fantasies: slay the evil, fulfill the prophecy, become the chosen hero. It's fun, of course; who doesn't enjoy feeling unstoppable? Walking into a fight knowing you're the biggest thing in the room. It's satisfying and leads to some super sick scenes- But that's not what I'm craving right now! No, today I want struggle- Not neccesarily bad endings or being snatched or taken by the villain, but friction, frustration, etc. I want to sit there counting my gold and silver and actually have to choose between taking a new weapon, or do I stock up on potions because last time nearly killed me? Manage every resource I got, between income, sleep, and time- Even so far as trying to harvest specific bits of monsters because they sell better or going out at specific times for a hunt. I want the small stuff to matter; the quiet math of survival- Choosing party members for stats, abilities, temperament, who to put my trust into. Building bonds and butting heads but trying to keep tensions down without dying. I want to feel a loss of an ally, both in emotion and mechanic. A gap. I want to survive, to have a chance, to struggle but make it out and FEEL when I don't. My immediate feelings are probably obviously fantasy stuff, low magic, that sort- I'm most familiar with DnD5e but I'm MORE than aware that it doesn't wholly work for this. Dicelite, no dice, whatever the GM wishes for! I'm down. Now, in terms of NSFW presence; I would like a little bit! Preferably not nonstop fucking, but some smut here and there would be pleasant- A way to get closer with allies, take my mind off of things, make connections to use later- Whatever really! But it does sound like it'd be nice, and honestly, fantasy ERP is lovely! I am a Male, and lean dominant, for reference, but I am also Pan. Other kinks that may come up can be discussed within the game/DMs! DM me or comment here to chat! Include 'What a struggle.' in either to show you read through it all!
