I Play Boys, Catch Me

Hey Arceus,

I wanted to float Darkly Ever After in your direction, because I think we hit most of the points that you're looking for. If you have any questions about the site, then please don't hesitate to reach out via PM. You can also pop into the Site Discord and we'll be happy to chat with you and answer questions there too. I'll address your points individually, but let me give you a bit of an overview of the site first...

Darkly Ever After is a fantasy rpg set in a world where gods and magic are real, but so too are monsters. A fog, the symbol of something ancient and powerful, has been flooding the cosmos. It's made its way to Elysium, where its survivors gather to make their final stand. You are welcome to play as a character from any of the six inner planes, but either willingly or by force you've been brought to Elysium for safety as most other planes are now uninhabitable. We have seven playable species: Angels, Demons, Elves, Gifted, Humans, Mages, and Shifters.

• We don't do activity checks traditionally speaking, but we do check activity as staff. Our requirements are low (2 posts/month) unless you're taking a character with a lot of power.
• We don't have any word count, though everyone on site does post more than simple one-liners so no need to worry about those.
• Unfortunately, we do have an application that is required. It's a profile based application and acceptance is needed to begin roleplaying. I apologise if this is a dealbreaker.
• We're 18+ and Jcink Premium so threads that are NSFW, cussing, and all that fun stuff is allowed, just be reasonable about it and don't coat the site in smut and we're all good.
• If you're a lurky kinda person, that's cool. We do tend to engage people when they're online so just comment on it if someone does that and everyone's pretty cool about just letting people chill.
• We don't have a tonne of hoops to jump through. I would advise, in this case, staying away from Gifted as a species though as they have a lot more up-front stuff to do.
• LGBTQ+, POC, White, Cis, it doesn't matter to us what your character is, what matters to us is what plots we can forge with them, so bring who you want and have muse to bring, and we'll figure out plots for them along the way.
• We have a dark skin, most fonts are 10pt or higher (and largely Helvetica), we have no flashy gifs on site at all really, and most of our fonts are off-white but not super grey (I cannot see white on grey very easily so I have to mute them slightly).

Thanks for the suggestion! Having a looksee c=

Hello Arceus!

Based on your descriptions, I think Hou Tian would possibly be a good fit! We're an Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra site. We're kind of unique in that you can think of us as a 2-in-1. Our Aangverse and Korraverse are completely separate timelines, so if you wanted to play in just the Avatar: The Last Airbender setting and never do anything with the Legend of Korra setting, that would be totally fine! Our Aangverse is set 10 years after the end of the Hundred Year War and we allow both canons and OCs. If you have questions feel free to ask on our Discord, everyone is very friendly and would be excited to see a new face.

• Our activity sweeps happen once in a blue moon just to tidy things up. There are no posting requirements for this. As long as we know you're present and accounted for, that's what matters to us.
   
• We do not have a word count -- so feel free to make your posts as long or short as you'd like!
   
• We like to see that the character is well-rounded and fleshed out, so we do require applications, but we're not overly nit-picky about our applications. We never decline and are always open to helping however we can to make apps as easy as possible! We have a few required basics we want to see on the application somewhere, but there is no mandatory app format for us.
   
• Hou Tian is a JCink Premium site and 18+ only. Swearing, drugs, smut, you name it -- just have fun and keep in mind that we are a story-focused site first and foremost
   
• We have all kinds of personalities in our community, some are more lurky than others. You're free to chill or engage as much (or as little) as you'd like. 
   
• We do not have face claims and use artwork with the artists' permission, or drawn by ourselves or fellows on the site. So that cuts down on a lot of the claims work 😄 
   
• We're open to characters being any/all ethnic origins, gender identities, and orientations. We only ask you keep the lore of the Avatar universe in mind.
   
• Your ice skater sounds like a good opportunity for a waterbender to me 😉 (we have a 1:1 bender:nonbender ratio -- so for every bender on your roster you will need a nonbender before you can create another bender)
   
• We're an intermediate level rp, but no one is policing grammar and spelling. We've even had people rp with us who had English as a second language in the past. As long as you're doing your best, that's all that matters to us.
   
• We have multiple skin options. Our default is a dark skin with a 12pt font for posts (some of the other fonts around the site are a bit smaller and some are a bit bigger), but if you need posts to be a larger font, be sure to let your rp partners know. Folks in our community would be more than happy to accommodate for your circumstances to make things more comfortable.
   
• For the most part our site does not have gifs or flashy images. Our background on the dark skin has a sky bison gif, but the gif will go away after a minute or so. However, we do also have 2 skin options for members that have no gifs in the skin.
