Also, yes, thank you, I don't like board approval...

Don't worry if you're not able to post so often, I don't want to leave anyone behind.

Love how we've started, everyone! It's going to be a very interesting adventure for all the characters I think.
And, Spiritstar3, don't worry about your posts being delayed, I think you send them to everyone so we can respond if we write before it's appeared anyway.

Also, I've had a couple of messages from users who are interested in joining if any roles are added, so I'm thinking of adding two new roles - The Inventor (a scientist who idolised Dr. Emil Lazarus, and hopes to invent the next big thing, but is unfortunately terrible with repairs when said inventions break), and The Medic (a medically-trained individual that has been appointed personally by the Council to accompany the group, but has always preferred to remain solidly on the ground).

If we end up taking off before they're filled, it can be written in that they join at wherever they dock (or have just been there all along).

I also had the idea to add a couple of roles for characters that do specifically join partway through the adventure. They would be The Soldier (a half-human, half-clockwork creation by Dr. Emil Lazarus, that manages to be saved from their programming and has to adjust to their new life, while deciding that they want revenge on the rogue scientist for making them the way they are), and The Stowaway (a wanna-be adventurer that was initially unable to join the group, whether because they were unable to get to Volimire in time or another reason, but seeing the group is in their city, decides to follow them and sneak aboard The Decadence just before the airship departs).
However, I don't want to make the roleplay too big, so let me know what you think of any of the new role ideas.

And finally, if anyone would like to discuss relations with either of my characters, feel free to send me a message!

a few new roles wouldn't hurt my feelings; id love to have a second character

[Hyunjinnie]

I don’t mind having more roles/people joining!! And if the roles don’t get filled up, I would also like to have another character honestly

XD thank you. I do send them to everyone, yeah.

I have two characters already, but new roles would be cool to see. I feel like we need more girl characters, there's only three. The other five or six are guys.

Thank you for the feedback!
I've decided to add all four of the new role ideas, so if anyone would like to reserve one of them, let me know!

is it alright if I take the medic, then?

[BlameableAmish]

Full Name: Petronella Clarisse Roos
Nickname: Nelly, Petra, Pesty, etc. (you can call her whatever)
Age: Twenty-five
Gender: cisfemale
Pronouns: she/her
Sexuality: pansexual - hyperromantic
Role: The Medic
Appearance: Petronella has lean in stature. She has a thick head of rich, brown hair in tight ringlets cascading down her frame to the middle of her back. Her eyes are wide set and doe-like in appearance. Those eyes are dark and earthy, like dark wood tree bark. In terms of height, she is about 5'2". She doesn't have any additional tattoos or piercings, but a few scars from various injuries she's received over the years. The most notable being old burn scars on the right hand and arm going up to the shoulder.

Personality: Nurturing, caring, and protective are some words to describe the positive aspect of the medic. It is just unfortunate that she cannot seem to find fulfillment without being of service to others. It makes her very dependent on being useful to people, which isn't the best when she has social anxiety. She pushes on the edges of her comfort zone, but it usually tends to be awkward at best. Except for her medical knowledge- which she could speak at great length if you allow her.

Short Bio: Petronella was born to a large family, which developed her sense of maternal instincts early. Her parents married young and started having children immediately. Petronella was the second oldest of nine children and took on the role of caregiver for as long as she could remember. Her family was on the poorer side and always had to work to supply them with food and shelter. Nelly's oldest brother also worked long hours while she cooked, cleaned, and kissed all her sibling's booboos. It wasn't until a tragic house fire that her whole world would be turned upside down. In the fire and flames, the young girl protected her younger brother despite them being trapped on the upper floors of their building. It would be an event that shaped her need to be a medic and her fear of heights and fire.

More recently, Petronella learned and flourished under the intense and often sleepless pressure of being a medic. Not her skill or natural intelligence would have caught the council's attention. It was her lack of self-care and dedication to her work. Often pushing herself to her limits without complaints, the young medic spent more time helping others than helping herself. She isn't one to say no when requested to do things-- but can she truly do this?? To leave everything behind and fly off? She has her doubts.

Other: Nelly has a bad fear of heights-- not debilitating always, but often battles herself to regain control when heights are in question. She also isn't fond of fire. That tends to scare her more.

I believe I am finished with my character's form-- I hope she is okay! If not, I can easily change things. Thank you! <3

Hello! Dre4mer here.

This is an OOC chat, right? I am a newcomer here, attracted by text roleplay and still navigating the website. I have a few questions. The title of this roleplay says accepting for new roles, so may I join? Are there experience requirements? If I am allowed to create a character profile, where is the appropriate forum to post it?

(Essentially, can I sign up? If I can how do I do that?)

Thank you for your time!
