Sometimes I really want to find a text-based roleplay, you know, like D&D or something similar. With numbers, leveling up, several people, and a huge bunch of uncertainties. The kind where it's interesting to explore and evolve your character and help others do the same.
But every time, thoughts that no one will be interested in my characters, or that inexperience / not knowing some rules will turn out to be critical, just weigh so heavily on my mind.
On top of that, I have absolutely no idea how to look for new acquaintances.
Maybe you know someone, or maybe you yourselves need a player who's ready to act for the good of the game and play a non-flat character in exchange for help figuring out the rules even where it seems like "you could just read it yourself"? And not get too upset if something doesn't click the first time (English still isn't my native language).
If pre-made characters are needed, I have a few:
A bard-sorcerer, pure support, physically weak in both body and health, but with a siren's voice and a love for political games.
Character-wise, a caustic older brother whose self-esteem is severely lacking, so he tries to make others love him through manipulation, just so he won't be left alone.
He has a big backstory with plenty of hooks for the GM, if desired. Also, I can pull him out of that backstory earlier, creating a slightly different shade of personality for the start.
He is my favourite, if be honest.
A boy-monk, based on Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Blind, but kind and open, with a sense of humor about many life situations.
He's a half-breed by race: hobbit mixed with yuan-ti. His mother died in childbirth, and the community, seeing the child, could neither get rid of him nor raise him, so they placed him in a temple. When he was old enough, they gave him his belongings and sent him off to "find his own path," just so he wouldn't scare the parishioners.
A boy-warrior. The twin brother of the first character. Anxious and detached, raised strictly as a bodyguard for his brother, but in reality quite kind, loyal, and selfless, if a bit rough.
I'm only willing to take him as a child, because I like him as potential for development specifically at this stage of his life.
Any of them can be easily adapted to any context. And in a pinch, a new one can be made just as easily.
