Hi guys, I am super excited to be a part of this and just to get conversations and plotting rolling I’ll do a little introduction. Please shoot me a message if you want to discuss plots, I’m raring to go!
Who are you?
Hi, I’m Zolo. I’m 24 and I work as a copywriter which is really cool job on most days but sometimes really annoying! My timezone is GMT+6 and Astor marks my return to the RP world after about 4 years so I’m super excited about this.
What do you live for?
I love debating and acting - I’m a part of a drama troupe. I also really enjoy cinema and books and my taste ranges from super high brow shit like Tarkovsky right to the funniest commercial comedies like Zoolander - same goes for books. Basically if it’s well written, and has a good plot/narrative, I’m into it. So hit me up if you want to talk movies or books or even music, I love discovering new stuff to watch, read and listen to!
Do you have any pets?
Nope, not a huge animal person though most people in my life have been trying to get me to warm up to dogs for as long as I remember! Don’t get me wrong, I have rescued pups and I think they are super cute, I just don’t feel responsible enough to have a pet, really mainly because I’ve been living alone for a while now.
If there was another you, who would it be?
This is a really strange question, I thought quite a bit about this and I think it would be whichever muse I’m currently playing. I think it might be a negative point for an RP-er and I really respect people who can play characters starkly different from themselves but I usually paint shades of myself into my muses and often see them as a reflection of something inside me. If I had to see myself from an outsider’s perspective I think I would find different aspects of my personality in my many muses.
Favourite piece of dark academia, if any?
Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh, Dead Poet’s Society (both, the book and the movie), The Class by Erich Segal, If we were villains by M.L Rio
Which type of dark academia are you?
I’d say I’m a mix of classic and casual dark academic. Yup.
Is there a particular skeleton that caught your attention?
Ah yesss, I loved The Tempestuous right off the bat. I envisioned her a deeply flawed but morally sound character and I feel with people misunderstanding her and the layers of complexities that is her personality, she could be a great character to explore this roleplay through!
Do you have…
Favorite faces to play? Not really, but I generally like getting an essence of a face through gif hunts when I choose faceclaims.
A character trope that you find yourself always writing? Ugh, the misunderstood snarky and mean outwardly but actually good character or the out and out angsty and reckless rebel. I usually give them subtle ticks and I write them very very differently from each other but yeah these are the broad tropes I usually go for.
A role play-related pet peeve? Clique RP-ing and when roleplayers are wayyy too focused on romantic connection and ignore plot progression of the group as a whole in the process.
Would you rather…
Would you rather be famous when you are alive and forgotten when you die or unknown when you are alive but famous after you die? One of my favourite movie lines is “I want to become immortal, then die.” So yeah I think I’d like it if I lived on even after death as a part of humankind’s history.
Would you rather never use social media sites / apps again or never watch another movie or TV show? Never use social media sites for sure because if I stopped consuming good cinema and book I’d have a creative block and lose my job lol.
Would you rather be completely invisible for one day or be able to fly for one day? Be able to flyyyyy! Imagine the free PR, I’d be famous for the rest of my life hahah!
Would you rather have everything you eat be too salty or not salty enough no matter how much salt you add? Not salty enough because I anyway like food slightly less salty than the usual amount.
This or that…?
Iced or hot? Iced coffeeee for sure, living on that stuff.
Cake or pie? Cake, eating a slice as I write this.
Antique or brand new? Antique, I think it’s more charming.
Call or text? Call, I’m a very lazy texter
Online shopping or going to the mall? Going to the mall, I can’t trust online shopping for clothes and things.
Ocean or mountains? Oceans, I’m a total water baby, used to live by the sea the first 10 years of my life.
Money or free time? Money because with that I can hire people to free up my time!
