Hello. My name is Ceres and I am thirty-eight years old. My timezone is US Eastern but I have an eccentric sleep schedule that often sees me awake at strange times. I'm a forever GM looking for an opportunity to be a player for a change, and if you provide that opportunity I'll be glad to GM or co-GM something for you in exchange. My favorite systems are Savage Worlds Adventure Edition and Pokemon Tabletop United, respectively, but I will consider others. Please no voice, DND, or Discord; while I am okay with PbP games I prefer live text when possible. Send me a message here or to Cerespirin#4692 on Stoat; either of those are fine.
While I have other interests, I am primarily looking to find people interested in games about super-people; not superheroes necessarily, but people with powers and the personal struggles that come with them. I am also interested in urban fantasy, sci-fi, and Pokemon settings. I prefer settings where I can create my own backstories and personalized villains.
I would rate my Eight Kinds of Fun from most to least enjoyed as Narrative, Fantasy, Discovery, Fellowship, Challenge, Expression, Sensory Pleasure, and finally Abnegation. In other words: I am most interested in realistic, verisimilar worlds with strong overarching narrative and a focus on character drama. I enjoy challenging tactical and ethical decisions, inter-party interaction and romance. I do NOT enjoy a great deal of downtime or between-session roleplay, although some to advance lingering issues from the main thread can be fun. I do NOT enjoy west march or 1x1 games.
I am willing to help GMs with whatever they may need assistance with, from vetting characters (superheroes and pokemon both have complex sheets!), to setting or plot design, to hot seating with the GM so that they can have an opportunity to play in their own game. I love running side-stories and B-plots as much or even more than GMing my own games!
Outside of tabletop gaming, I enjoy colony-building and survival games like Project Zomboid, RimWorld (of which I am a modder!), and Kerbal Space Program. I have also been playing a lot of City of Heroes lately! My favorite shows and movies are psychological thrillers with villainous protagonists like Dollhouse or Death Note. I have an eclectic musical taste that includes a smattering of almost every genre under the sun orbiting a central core of power ballads, J-rock, and synth metal.
