Posting Times/Ability: I run several games myself, but I have a lot of free time, so I can often respond to OOC correspondence on a daily basis. As for in-game posts; depending on how busy I am with my other games, my average is ~1.5 posts
per week.
Hello! So I've recently been exposed to the concept of making a character that is played across multiple different games, and I decided that I would try it out in my own way. Thus, I present to you a setting-agnostic character sheet to give potential GMs (that's you) an idea of what she is like.
To be clear,
I am willing to learn any system at all, as long as there's a good opportunity for me to really roleplay and have fun with this character. I must emphasize, though, that
I'm looking for really roleplay-heavy games so that I can get the most character development out of each iteration of the character. I'm also willing to go freeform, if that's what you like.
I have no preference for solo or multiplayer games.
The basic premise is that her soul (or at least she believes that her soul) travels from place to place, reincarnating over and over again across time and dimensions. She has dreams of lives lived before, in other bodies and travelling with other people, and she even has a journal that "travels" with her, helping her record all of her past lives.
About Me
I have a lot of free time, so I run a lot of games across multiple PbP sites. I am usually able to respond to OOC conversation daily.
What I Bring To the Table:- I really love to worldbuild, and to explore the possibilities of new universes; it's why I host so many games
- I love collaborating with others and brainstorming new ideas; it's why I play the Fate RPG so much
- I have been told that I tend to place an emphasis on narrative and the relationships between characters
- I pride myself on being able to separate the character from the player, and to not meta-game
My Writing Style: Longer posts, often with in-depth plots, character development and extensive settings/lore. I make a dedicated effort to minimize typographical errors and to use good grammar. Generally at least two paragraphs per post, but usually longer.
My Favorite RPG: Fate (Core)
RPGs I'm Really Familiar With: D&D 5e, Fate
RPGs I've Dabbled In: BESM, GURPS, M&M
I have a Pinterest account where I post boards that help me visualize the worlds I create. You could look it over to get a sense of what I like:

My Character
"One of my oldest memories is of a time when I was almost an entirely different person; I had seen the world around me, and I had deemed it irredeemable. I had given in to despair."
"But something happened; I was given a second chance - the opportunity to do everything over."
"I didn't care about anything back then - and to be honest I still don't think I do - but it's come full circle now: I care so little that I know I lose nothing by trying my hardest to make a truly significant change wherever I find myself."

Just below here, I have detailed my character's two primary traits, which I do not see changing much from incarnation to incarnation; these are her nature, but nurture can play a large role in modifying or even dampening her base personality. The way I see it happening, she is usually born naturally into whatever setting she ends up in, and then the events of her life give her more traits to round it all out.
An Ancient, Timeless Wisdom: She is usually calm and rational, and has an incredibly good sense of what is right and wrong - that doesn't necessarily mean that she'll always do what's right, though. She knows when to laugh, have fun, and cut loose, but also knows when to get serious, and can do so at the drop of a hat. She doesn't care what others think about her; she is focused on her goals, and immune to social pressures and stigmas.
Older Sister Vibes: She has few friends, but those friends she does have she treats like family. She supports them in any way she can, gets to know them perhaps even more than they know themselves, and holds them to their own standards while encouraging them to be ambitious.
Settings With Supernatural Powers, Magic, Etc.
When she's born to an incarnation which has access to supernatural abilities, I imagine that she'll usually have some variation of the same thing; an azure-and-violet "rune magic" of raw, unadulterated energy and power. I like the imagery of many spectral hands appearing from her body to write runes into the air.
When she taps into this magic, I intend to have her transform cosmetically into a majestic, elven form. She'll look like that for the duration of combat, and then go back to normal when her magic isn't needed any more.
Depending on how I feel - and what you as the GM think - I'll give this alter ego a separate personality; colder and more calculating, sometimes even mean. I'm having it so that it may or may not happen from incarnation to incarnation, so that I can remove it from any iteration for any reason.
Alternative Appearances Into Your Setting
The default state is for her to have been conceived through natural birth, but it is possible that she found herself in your setting in some other way:
- She spawned spontaneously from a strange pool of muck
- She was summoned - intentionally or accidentally - via a powerful spell or the call of a deity
- She was manifested from the energy of a powerful storm, energy conflux, or other phenomena
