OOC Open RP Matchmaking

After chatting with @Wes the other night about how the Open RP section has grown a little quiet recently, I got to thinking that it might help to have a matchmaking thread of sorts. So feel free to reply here with the flavours of Open RP that you would be interested in. This could be anything from 'Themed Holiday Events' to 'SAoY Mecha' to 'Kuvexian Pleasure Cruiser on Sood Zadra' to 'Anything with this character: (insert character here)'. If you have ideas, feel free to drop a paragraph outlining them. You never know who will be inspired to take it up and write something with you!

With any luck, there'll be a few people with similar desires and you can get something set up!
 
I am interested in:
  • Independent stuff (bounty hunters, cargo runners, pirates etc)
  • Themed Holiday Events (Halloween-themed horror, for example!)
  • Slice-of-life stuff (GIrl's night out, off-duty in the messhall, shore leave etc.)
  • Exploration (scout ship, surveying, lost-in-space scenario etc)
Ideas:
  • Halloween Event - On a base somewhere, a mishhu virus has turned the population (civilian and military alike) into monsters and now the survivors have to hold out for as long as they can with dwindling supplies
  • Kuvexian Pleasure Barge - Basically a floating pleasure palace on Sood Zadra
  • Sports league - Racing (land, air or space), Mech battles (solo, team, grand melees etc) Gravity Ball etc. Could play as racer/jockey/player, or support team, or sponsor etc. etc.
 
I am interested in
  • Any faction mischief (Mercernaries, pirates, science adventure, horror)
  • Exploration (any adventure into new or unknown territories/scenarios)
  • Holiday or Cultural Events (Cultural holidays whether its the first time or a reoccurence)
  • Horror and Chaos (things going ary, survival, general mishaps and misfortune)
  • Slice-of-life (family life, friendly outings, civilian jobs, off duty civilian/military)
  • Character Development
If you have any ideas, I have mischief fuel! Feel free to reach out with ideas or take a peek at GingerGlitch on Star Army Space Roleplay if you want to see what characters I have currently to feed your inspiration. Always open to making one-off characters for Open RPs.

I am interested in:
  • Character Interactions and developing friendships or other bonds in-character
  • Slice-of-life using the worldbuilding. Most of my characters have habits of touching and poking various aspects of their world, so slice-of-life can be really fun with character interaction and exploration in "mundane locations."
  • Holidays, Cultural Events
  • Got a character arc you want to do? I'm happy to see if my characters can help.
  • Weird side quests
  • Faction Mischief
  • Independent stuff
Currently I have only Yamatai Star Army characters, but I am happy to expand my roster of rp characters for more plots. (:
 
I am always up for RPs (=w=)b

I can make a character to suit a plot... or I can bring in D3/D4's and play them instead, I would prefer to play D3 and D4 but I understand not all people running plots might not want them in the plot they are trying to run o3o

D3's can come in singles, groups, or hordes o3o/

if you want a D4 for your plot they will have to have a D3 NPC with them as well (they get lonely without a D3 at least assigned to the same ship so they can see them often)

For some reason, I'm thinking an Operator restaurant owner could be convinced to hire D4s and D3s as waiters and waitresses. The Operators are obsessed with contribution results, and they might think the super-helpful D3s would provide exceptional customer service. Now they may be wrong about this, which could turn the plot into a comedy, but I'd be willing to see that comedy storyline play out. People could enjoy that.

There's also the respect of the Makers that the D3/D4s exhibit, they seem to have a more religious focused purpose complex as opposed to the more career-focused one that the Operators exhibit. It could be a cool thematic thread to explore. It's up to you though.
 
oh no they would be totally accurate about the D3 being good at it.... only issue is D3 can't speak a language others can hear so they communicate with signs and text (=w=)b

unless there is a D4 with them then the D4 talks for the D3 since D4 can understand the unspoken language the D3 use (=w=)b

and I love playing the D3 so I wouldn't mind (>w<)b
 
I'm thinking that I want to have an NDC ship RP that's a restaurant run by an Operator. The ship would be responsible for delivering (and cooking and serving) food to various NDC residents, and maybe a few secret surprises onboard too.

I like this idea a lot! Not sure what character I’d write for it yet, but I like the concept.
 
So I had an idea, partly inspired by the game 'Space Station 13' that would involve a station located somewhere between Yamatai and Nepleslian space. Serving as a mid point between the two empires this 'Midway Station' would be the site of much intrigue, chicanery and at times goofy hijinks, as the two cultures clash on this one station. Maybe it'd be slice of life? But also potentially spy thriller?

Star Trek DS9 vibes!! I love space stations. There's a lot of starship rps, but not a single space station rp, and I was thinking on what a space station rp on star army would look like!!

I'd totally bring in 1-2 civilian merchants/doctors.

SARP already has a station perfect for this: Pisces Station on Star Army Space Roleplay

It was been waiting to host such a plot for a long time.
