Forums » Introductions » Hi :)

Hey everyone! It's nice to meet you all.

My name is Nettle and I've rejoined this site in hopes to find a long term RP partner (the last time I was on here, I was around 15 and now I'm in my 20s). I just spent over two hours on my character profile...only to forget to save the changes. I'm okay...if I don't think about it.

It's 2 am so I think I'll just stare into the void of regret for another minute or so and then head to bed lmao. However, I wanted to introduce myself first.

I've been roleplaying for a little over ten years on and off and would consider myself experienced. I enjoy long term RPs, 1x1, advanced literate - novella (unsure if different terms are used here) and a mixture of genres. I want to dip my toes into sci-fi however so I will be making a post about that soon (after I find it in me to spend another two hours building my character profile from scratch again. Let's hope I remember most of it.)

If any of you are looking for a sci-fi / dystopian / space pirate adventure type of RP then keep a look out!

It's a lot more difficult to finds compatible RP partners now-a-days so I hope one of us click together. ^^

I should head to bed as I have work tomorrow but I wish you all a good morning, noon or night and I hope to get to know you all soon!

Hello Nettle! Welcome back to RP Repository! :)
Sorry that your character has fallen into the void. I had that happen once when I think the site timed out on me. I put everything together just right, then when it came to saving it, I needed to log back in and everything was gone. I hope you don't let it bring you down, and your character will come back better next time!
Oh my goodness, welcome, nettle! Or rather, welcome back to RPR! I hope this go around is exactly what you're looking for for your role-playing needs. I know I have certainly not been disappointed. I work a lot, so the easy-going flow of the community really helps.

As for sci-fi, you are in the right place! That is a very prolific genre around these parts. If you are seeking a 1x1 experience, I would highly recommend you put up and advert for what you seek. You might some nibblets and may it be the writing compadre that clicks well with you!

I know it's not exactly what you want, but checking out the Forums is also a good way to break the ice. Give it a whirl if anything and best of wishes on getting that profile back up. Believe you me, I know what its like to put all that work into something and poof, it's gone.

Have fun out there!
Hey Nettle! Welcome! I know how you feel about the failed profile update; it seems like technology works against us sometimes. :')
oh nooooo.. We've all been there though - losing a ton of profile work into the void lol so you're already diving right back into the site experience =)

Thank you so much for the welcome! I appreciate the words of encouragement.

Hopefully my character creation will run a little more smoothly when I'm not half awake and I'll remember to save next time I give it a shot. Fingers crossed!

Hello, and thank you for the welcome! I've been looking for a community a little more easy-going so this is great to hear!

I appreciate the advice and I look forward to re-exploring this site. I'll be sure to check out the forums soon. :)

Hey! Thanks for the welcome! I look forward to being here. ^^

I tried so hard to recover the profile but to no avail...

Welcome back !

TRULY - It was such a cruel welcome-back slap on the back. I was transported to my first day on here so many years ago and the dread I felt was exactly the same.

Ahhh well. It is what it is. I'll just piece it back together like I did so many moons ago.

Space pirates for the win!

Hello. Love your post!
Welcome back to RPR. I am in the same boat. I took time off for several years. Kind of did it cold turkey. RP was becoming too much in my life during covid and things weren't becoming healthy for me. But then I've been working for a year in a stable job with a schedule and that have made things easier on me, so I came back, aside from the desire to artistically express myself.
Feel free to take a look at my 'looking for RP' threads and if you like anything, let's connect and try RPing something fun.

Hello, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I can relate to taking breaks for years at a time. It's definitely important to take breaks in between or even during role-plays as they can consume ones mind fairly easily. My last one lasted over a year with me obsessing over it every minute of every day but I'm hoping this time around still feels fun but a lot more casual.

I have a tendency to go ALL in with anything I'm interested in so hopefully I'm able to have better balance this time lmao.

I'll go check out the threads soon. Thanks for letting me know!
