Okay, so I'd thought I'd offer a list of the active group RPs I'm currently in, especially for those people who are used to 1x1 RPing with me, which I really don't have time for now. :/ Sorry! I just have a lot of dear friends I enjoy RPing with, and that translates into a lot of RPs if I try to keep up 1x1 RPs with everyone. Group RPs are a great way to interact with a lot of different people I love to RP with, without having to worry about keeping up with a million different stories.

Most of these are for Gaia Online, but don't let the Gaia-RP stereotypes throw you. They're all literate and fairly active. And by fairly active, I mean they move consistently, but not like a bunch of posts in a single day. Especially since the ones I'm in have a lot of the same players, and a lot of us are students so we pretty much post when we have time. No one minds that, and we still chat often in the OOC.

In addition to these, I'm also a member of ~Inai-Bara's forum Final Fantasy RP, Mist and Rain ( [link] ), but it's primarily inactive. I need to check it thoroughly again, but I'm fairly certain the only thread waiting on me is a backstory Inai and I were doing with Suoh and Kaile...

Anyway! I'm also including a synopsis and a list of what characters I'm playing, just in case anyone's interested in an RP and wondering who I'm playing. Active characters are, of course, active. Semi-active probably means I'm waiting on something or another before bringing them back in, maybe another player or an event. Semi-inactive means I don't currently have anything planned for them, but will use them again if I think of something or if someone wants me to, and inactive means I'm not currently playing them.

Usually the activity for each character rotates. ^^



Yaoi Gang RP
Site: Gaia Online
Link: [link]
Owner: NotebookSyndicate_Lust
Status: Moderately Active (Post count: 3063), about a year old
Type: Modern day, yaoi/shounen-ai, city gangs, literate

Synopsis: Whistle City is a place rife with violence and crime, ruled by two large, opposing gangs -- Red Moon and Aphorism 146. Red Moon is the larger of the two, known for aggressiveness and random attacks. Aphorism is more careful, more strategy-based, and much less chaotic.

Recently, a new police precinct opened up as an effort to control the gang crime, but so far has been largely ineffective. As the gangs turn on each other, though, perhaps the most effective method for dealing with the gangs is to let them whittle each other down.

To keep things from getting out of control, a mysterious, neutral group called the Guardians try to lessen the feuds, aiding both gangs fairly. Not much is known about them or their leader, known only as Mother.

My Characters

Currently Active
-Lucien Devreigh
-Suoh Kahre

Semi-Active
-Ryukouzi Kaidyn Soma

Relationships

-Elessa/Lucien: sex partners, not exclusive (technically, though there does seem to be something brewing there)

-Silas/Suoh: fairly one-sided crush (Suoh crushing on Silas)

-Ryuko/Vivi: close friendship (I thought they maybe slept together pre-RP once, but when Vivi's player and I started to RP it Ryuko backed out at the last moment. He's good at that)

-Ryuko/Maddi: fairly one-side crush (Maddi crushing on Ryuko)

-Ilya/Silas: undeveloped, one-sided, maybe nonconsensual pre-RP (Ilya stalking Silas)

Personal Notes: This RP is what got me started using Gaia again, which before I had only poked around on every now and then. It was just on the forum main page as a like...a featured thread or spotlight or something, so I clicked on the link and, since I was really impressed with how the posts layouts were, I ended up joining it. It was the first time I even joined an RP on Gaia.

The players are really awesome, and I often hang out in the OOC even when I'm not posting and whatnot. Most of the players are college students so it's not a really fast RP, but since I don't have a lot of time that really works for me. I probably post a couple times a week (per active character). Even though I have five characters in YGR, I generally switch out which ones are active and which ones are inactive, depending on what's going on in the story. So far, been playing in it since January ^^ Though I was inactive for a bit in the spring, when I was working a lot.

I adore playing Lucien in this RP, for some reason.



R E L I A N C E
Site: Gaia Online
Link: [link]
Owner: Bharune (Me! <3)
Status: Moderately Active (Post count: 212), fairly new
Type: Modern day, vampires, literate, any relationships

Synopsis: Reliance is a huge, thriving metropolis, packed with both humans and bloodfeeders living unsteadily together. Though on the outside Reliance is the picture of success and happy urban living, the very foundation of the city is constantly being rocked by internal warfare. Blood Sanct -- a violent, aggressive sect of vampires -- feeds carelessly on human prey, expanding its territory constantly, and the Risen -- a collection of humans and benevolent vampires -- combat the menace for the overall good of both races.

Perhaps the balance would remain stable if it were only those two, but at the center of Reliance is the massive Paradei Sanguisuga Control Corporation, or ParaCorp, that threatens the extinction of all bloodfeeders indiscriminately. ParaDev -- the branch of ParaCorp that handles research and development -- is constantly taking captive vampires for experimentation, snatched up by the bloodthirsty damphir harvesters of the militant ParaWard. ParaLux and ParaDem perpetuate anti-vampire prejudices among the common people, and strict regulations make a legitimate life difficult to maintain even for a good vampire.

-Sisao/Drayden: Naturally! Though Samguin hasn't technically made Sisao's profile yet...-crosses fingers-

Personal Note: Okay, so...Reliance pretty much makes up the same players as YGR (we even use the same OOC!), so most of my YGR comments also apply here. I hadn't really intended on making my own RP again, but...my friend Jazzy convinced me to join this vampire RP awhile back called They Say, but it wasn't really successful and ended up closing down. I originally thought of ParaCorp for They Say, and even though it closed down I really wanted to us it, and I thought if I took the idea and added in the successful faction set-up like in YGR (instant reasons for interaction, instant recipe for conflict), it'd flow better. And so Reliance was born. ^.^

I think the fact that I included a lot of reference information scared off some people, though, haha. I mean...in They Say, it was never clearly defined what vampires were, and since there's so many different concepts of them it was really inconsistent. For Reliance, I wanted it to be pretty clear what each classification of vampire (senere, scion, grey, and dhamphir) is capable of, while leaving it open enough for modification and customization.

I should plug it more and try to get more players...



Amaranth
Site: Gaia Online

Owner: the_firefly_reaper ( ~firefly-reaper )
Status: Moderately Active (Post count: 45), fairly new
Type: Fantasy-styled, literate, any relationships

Synopsis: The paralleled worlds of Crenoa and Haven are a large and vibrant playground for the Spirits. For ages they have coexisted with the Mortal Kind either with adoration or fear of each other, but there has been unrest in a certain faction of the Mortal Kind. The Soul Hunters, a group of elite slayers stationed in the technologically superior Desmoid City, have hunted and slaughtered Spirits for standing in the way of progress. They posed no major threat in the beginning, but when General Oldrin took command of the Soul Hunters, things drastically changed. With greater ambition and ruthlessness, the Soul Hunters now seek the ultimate prize, the destruction of Haven. (Taken from the RP's main page)

Characters

Currently Active
-Lucien Devreigh

Currently Inactive
-D'Artista Léon Catastraza

Relationships

None yet (Lucien's more interested in pissing off Oldrin...)

Personal Note: I like playing Lucien in this one, too xD His relationship with General Oldrin amuses me. He follows Oldrin's orders because he depends on Oldrin to keep him alive, but he also hates him, so annoying him is like a game to Lucien. In fact, it's probably the only redeeming quality in his current position.

I made D'Artista specifically for this RP, but I have yet to actually use him. I'm not sure if I will or not -- I may just stick with Lucien. :devfirefly_reaper:'s world is an excellent place to explore and play in, but it may be too wide with too little tying the characters together. Still, so far, everyone's done great at linking their characters together. She could definitely use some more players, tho. <3



Crossroads
Site: Solia Online

Owner: NotebookSyndicate_Lust (NS_Lust)
Status: Active (Post count: 29), brand new
Type: Modern day, club, any relationships

Synopsis: Whistle City's finest club is now open for business! Hiring hosts, bouncers, bartenders, DJs, chefs, and more, so come put your application in -- your dream job may be waiting for you. Rooms are also available for customers and tourists to relax and enjoy Whistle City's night life.

Characters

Currently Active
-Draith Nephalah Rook
-Gabriele Kaiser

Relationships

None yet (possible Sword/Gabriele?)

Personal Note: Still new, not much plot. Because the setting is pretty restricted, I imagine this'll end up as more of a drama/romance RP than anything with action or adventure. Not that that's a bad thing, of course, especially since I already know the players can come up with some interesting stuffs.

A few of the same crew as YGR and Reliance. <3
