This thread is simply a place for me to develop my character/avatar, Apthys. It is, of course, an open RP, and anyone can come and go as they please, though a notice of leave would be very appreciated.
RULES (are inclined to change) -please be courteous! -please don't inject yourself into the middle of a finished story, this is to keep things a little neater. -if you begin a new scenario, please make a title for it and bold, italicize, enlarge, or underline the title.
NOTES -it is encouraged that you begin a new scenario! -if you have any details on your character or a thread dedicated to their development, i wouldn't mind reading them. (also read as: i like reading about characters and if you're okay with me reading about yours that'd be great 👌 ) -if you're unsure about anything, don't be afraid to ask me about it.
a bit about the roleplayer - i don't have extensive experience rp'ing, though of course, I try my best, etc. i'd prefer not to write anything with much romance. shorter, more casual rp's are also favored, thankya.

Other Information[/spoiler]
Hi apthys, welcome to Subeta's RP scene! Usually the way people start a scenario here is to make a new post with the title of the scenario & such. I'd recommend taking a quick look through some of the past posts in the RP section to get an idea of how we do things here. A few I recommend looking at for an example are "Dwell in Dreams", "Moondrop Motel", and "Jester's Legacy" (if you can find it). Keep in mind that each of these posts are basically dead, or inactive. As a general rule of thumb, if a post hasn't been responded to for about 2 months, it's most likely dead. The RP section of Subeta is in need of more active RP's, so feel free to make one yourself! If it's interesting enough, people are sure to join!
A Horns & Roses fan!
Thank you! I understand how things seem to run in Subeta RP's, it fits with what I'm used to seeing in my more familiar scenes. The vision for this particular thread is not so much to be one story, but an open invitation for others to either offer a plot or idea they've been wanting to play out or join any that I might begin through here. The reason I've focused it on Apthys is because my life has become busier than before, so I've decided to make one character a long-term casual project, and lately I don't have the time to actively seek out RP's to play them out in (i can be a little too selective so it does take some time) so I'd thought it would be simpler to have this work out like a tree. That being that this thread act like the roots keeping everything in one place and giving some sense of stability, the character Apthys being the trunk that everything comes back to (the way it's organized), and that the various RP's branch out from it. Also, due to the aforementioned unavailability, I've yet to fine-tune the opening post and I understand that it leaves much to be desired; I will be editing it again later on.
One change I am going to make is the addition of a 'Current RP' section, which will, of course, lay out the details of the current available RP. I intend that the majority of these that I begin be casual and quick, and the lengthier ones will have their own thread. I am considering also to move even the shorter ones to their own threads, since I aim to keep everything as tidy and simple as possible. If I do that, this thread will remain as an open invitation to begin RP's, and a place to archive and organize them, both the open and concluded. Ideally, this will provide a place for others to easily find either ideas or multiple opportunities in one place.
An example of the kind of "casual and quick" RP that I have in mind would be like a tea party; not quite so dynamic, and geared more towards the characters' simpler expressions and development, more of a practice run I suppose. I'd also been considering hosting the occasional competitive RP, where the characters (Apthys not included, they would act more as the host in the plot) would compete to earn a set prize that would be something like an in-game item or amount of sP. The competition might be like a Hunger Games or some mystery to be solved.
I feel that I should note that this thread has not been sitting here without producing anything. As a result of it, I'm working out some details for a RP with another player who had approached me after seeing it, so I wouldn't yet say that this dream of mine is unattainable :3 .
Since you seem eager to assist others, could I bother you to offer any suggestions you might have for this idea?
