My friend and I are long time avid roleplayers. We are the types of players who will spend hours designing our characters and their personalities and everything. We play the game as if it is a real world and our characters as if they are real people in said world, taking into account consequences, lore, in game knowledge etc. We avoid meta knowledge, we don't sit there on our phones, we don't make constant fart and sex jokes, we actually know what our class abilities and spells are and are prepared in combat when our turn starts. We are tired of playing with groups that have players that do any of those things, but it seems nigh impossible to find a game without those types who detract heavily from the way my friend and I enjoy the game. Those players attitudes also tend to spread and over time lower the quality of the game for everyone involved. We believe that the DM is putting in their time and effort and showing off a creation they love, and thus should receive respect for it and we enjoy seeing their worlds unfold. We are much more roleplay focused than combat focused so a higher amount of interaction with the world and environment would be ideal. We also prefer the concept of "this is a story, unless you are an idiot then you likely won't die". We put large amounts of work into our characters and want to live as them and experience your creation, not be remaking characters over and over because RNG does not like us. We are fine with joining an existing game but please, only if all other players are as dedicated to their characters and the world as us. We do not want to join a game with the stereotype horny bard, or people constantly making fart jokes, or people on their phones all the time, or people who just want to watch the world burn, or people who don't understand their class or character etc. The current character idea we have is a combo of a druid and a ranger. Depending on the system (5e, 3.5, or pathfinder 1e preferred, a custom system is also acceptable) the subclass and/or races will change. Current assumption for 5e is a circle of the shepherd changeling druid and a wood elf ranger of yet undecided subclass. For the changeling there would be a couple homebrewed requests for story purpose but the requests actually nerf the race (Specifically losing the ability to change forms freely). Details can be provided up front if desired. The characters are already "done", at least for their initial concept and how they would know each other, but nothing has been included in their backstory that can have any impact on a DM's world (aside from a world that literally does not have elves or changelings, but that is open to be changed if need be). All details of currently existing character story are focused on non descript events that could happen in any environment at any time. Personalities are for the most part designed as well. Further detail on the character stories can come from working with the DM to determine names, locations, possible associates, learning about the world, politics, etc. We stick to neutral to good alignment range characters and avoid playing evil characters. We have zero trigger warnings and enjoy grimdark worlds. We have encountered rape, mutilation, genocide, torture, plagues, child murder, murder of family members, being thrust into literal hell, and so on in our games and are totally fine with these concepts so long as they exist to make a point and make sense for the world and situation. I would also like to specify that while we prefer a game that "won't kill us unless we are dumb", this by no means implies we require an easy campaign. We know how to use our abilities, we know how to make creative solutions, we take watches, we use string and bells for alarms, caltrops, ball bearings etc, we know how not to piss off the captain of the guard when you're new in town. All that said, our availability is: (CST) Saturday - 12:00 PM UTC-6 - 12:00 AM(0:00 Sunday) UTC-6 Sunday - 12:00 PM UTC-6 - 12:00 AM(0:00 Monday) UTC-6 Tuesday- 12:00 PM UTC-6 - 4:00 PM(16:00) UTC-6
