IQ come to settle in

IQ

Well-Known Member
Hi ladies, gentlemen and other pronouns I might possibly overlook! I'm IQ. And I will go along with the optional template loosely. So, after a bit of looking at the rules and the style of some people's posts, as well as a healthy interest in sci-fi RP led me here. That and a less fortunate incident with another site I used to be a part off. I didn't depart on all too good terms with them. I realize I'm being vague on this. Though I think you can understand that I remain vague as to not discredit them nor myself. Long story short, both myself and the staff there made mistakes, I learned from mine and I like to think they did the same.

That painful little tidbid aside, I'm a veteran roleplayer, coming up to my twenties now, I started roleplaying from no less than the age of twelve. Even though it was borderline cringey and edgy minecraft RP, it still counts in my opinion. I grew through that and joined other RP mediums, like WoW, SWTOR, various forums. I used to be staff in some RP guilds and on one forum, so I like to think I'm responsible and valuable. Though that did come across as quite the boastful remark, didn't it? I assure you that inflating my ego is not what I'm looking for in this site. I'm a gamer as well, maybe that's obvious from my avatar that I enjoy R6: Siege. And who I tend to main.

Anyhow. Up to some Roleplay desires and wants.

I don't care about character gender, nor their orientation. I always had a plethora of characters. I do however enjoy some pre-meditation to my RP, but spontaneous is also welcome. Keeps things fresh and keeps me on my toes. There's some ideas I will get into in a bit, but the entire preference on roleplay that the template has can be answered very simply in my case. See where it fits and what you like :)

I really don't mind what role I'm playing and where. I'm a tad whimsical, so I'm as likely to make a druidic android as I am to make a human purge trooper. I also don't care about language, violence nor sexuality. If it fits the story and the RP, go for it. Be it violence, romance, hateful sex or even rape (which I did read up on on the site). My limits are the ones my roleplay partner, or the DM or whomever, sets. Though I strongly prefer RP through forum posts, rather than realtime.

Though I will add that I'm a sucker for eventual romance in conflict type of plots. I love romance and the IC drama it might bring as two lovers try to stay together through thick and thin. Be it war, or criminal inclinations.

That piggybacks me to my second final note. Some character ideas I had and that I'm hoping to realize here. It's just two of them. 2 short ones.

1. A female, humanoid test subject that has spliced genetics and in essence, has become a tabby cat of humanoid races. Growing coldblooded and such, while also being some form of cryomancer(I didn't find any notes on magic or psionics that make cryomancy possible.)

2. An android wanderer that's solely focussed on melee. Having a miniature warp core or defragmentation unit for near-instant movement, though peaceloving at the same time.

These are just ideas, of which I'm not sure they fit in lore or are allowed altogether. I'd love to realize them, but it's not like I'm going to go up and leave if I don't get to play them. This site looks amazing. And I'm hoping I'm here to stay.

I look forward to roleplaying with you all, and hope someone here comes in and manages to introduce me properly to the site!

Much love <3

good to have you on board ^^ sounds like your wide preference range will make it easy to find a plot to join which is always handy, unfortunately I do have to inform you that magic and psionics are not part of the setting but im sure you could try making a piece of tech that does something similar, I'm not the most knowledgeable on that topic but there is plenty who could offer info, nevertheless i hope you settle in well
 
That's fair. Maybe some subskin or internal cybernetic augmentation tosm cross that gap. Thanks for the heads up ^^
 
Check out the Freespacers on the wiki. There is a whole branch of mecha-Druidism going on there. TruffleClub is the local robot-gardener-hippie? Of 188604 and that character page might give you a good idea of what you can expect.

Also, why are you not playing as Fuze?
 
The mech-druidism was an example, not an idea just yet. I listed 2 ideas I had later on :p

Because IQ is bae and Jaeger always seems to be on the enemy team when I pick Fuze. I dislike Jaeger.
 
1. These are called Anthro within the setting (gene-spliced people), but magic isn't a thing. Technology would have to grant you the abilities, if you wanted that sort of stuff.

2. I'd recommend the Freespacers, as was pointed out before. Mecha-Druidism aside, they'd likely be the best method for trying to acquire bizarrely advanced tech as they're actually one of the few factions within the setting who ARE technology. Teleportation and the like, however, will be very difficult to scale down like that given how things work. I'd recommend talking with @Wes and @Primitive Polygon. The other option would be a robot within the service of Yamatai, but those can always be a bit finicky and junk, especially if you're wanting to roam/wander.
 
Alright, between here and the mess that is the discord, I'll try to sort things out. Thanks ^^

EDIT: Also, maybe a miscommunication on my hand. She looks human, though she was a subject to genetic splicing and melding with various other strains, giving her a body that is a genuine medical oddity, being cold blooded, high fluorescense to bodily fluids, etc. She's a mish-mash of about anything that is remotely humanoid, genetically.

I can probably get you pretty close to your characters with Psychopomp as I already have a gene splicing program up and running.
