Mystery Personal Ads; Where singles mingle anonymously... or do they?

See, when Heron has too many things to actually do to be productive, Heron's brain invents silly, frivolous distractions like there's no tomorrow. This is a completely frivolous distraction that occurred to Heron totally at random as Heron was actually attempting to post. Idea for game goes as follows.

NPC Policy


In the game of Mystery Personal Ads, we use no names. Every character who posts does so under a made-up username, because this? This is an online dating application where nobody knows anyone, and the point of the game is for the other players to guess who the character is. (And later we can totally do Bakery RPs with these usernames, because there should be a chatroom in there...)

Obviously, the username cannot contain the character's name, although it may be punny, suggestive, or humorously linked as a clue if the player so chooses.

Following that, the character goes on to describe him or herself in his or her own words, with his or her own honesty (or lack thereof). Race, height, weight, hair and eye colors, build, physical sex, of course, hobbies and interests, career, likes and dislikes, anything that he or she thinks a prospective date will find attractive. For the purposes of this game, we're ignoring that certain characters are not likely to date and certainly not in this fashion. I know it's probably obvious, but Belial was glaring at me for missing the disclaimer and...you know. This is like fifteen degrees off an in-character exercise.

Next, in his or her own words, the character needs to describe what he or she is looking for in a prospective date. This means every do and every don't, be as hilariously picky as necessary. For characters who are not single, this is an excellent place to describe your lover as a means of secret communication.

Finally, the last two pieces of information that need to be on the application are what are the character's plans for a future with a date (just looking for a few dates or really searching for commitment?) and what would the ideal date be?

Answer these things in an application format on your post, basically, as your challenge to the next person in line, because your application will be placed directly below your answer.

How about I give you an example by way of starting us off? Let's just say that there was a post above mine written by a character claiming to be MasterHarper Kessia's most trusted messenger, who enjoys fine wines and long naps and potato chips, is looking for a lovely lady with cat ears and a Russian accent (i'm making this up at random i'm so sorry), is interested in casual dating, and whose ideal date would be a wine tasting in the village.

I guess... Harper Tomlin! (And the next time that player has a turn in the game, because lolforums, they can also tell me if I'm correct. If I'm incorrect, they can re-run the same ad because my answer was wrong -- that way, there's really no interruption to the flow.)

Now, my turn!

Username: OliveGroveDreamer

About: I am an average man of average appearance (medium height, dark hair, blue eyes). I enjoy long walks just about anywhere, reading, music, social gatherings (although alcohol is against my religion, more for you I suppose), tea, gardening, board games, and even yoga. I also like to think I'm a fair horseback rider.

Wants: I'm looking for compassionate, honest man who shares my joy in books, tea, board games, and hiking, or at least two or three out of four. Absolutely must not be afraid of horses.

Ideal Date: My ideal date would probably be staying in and cooking at home, in a significantly advanced relationship. For a new one, I would have to say stargazing in the desert.

Future Plans: While I am not opposed to casual dating, I would enjoy a longer-lasting relationship if it's in the cards.

My guess is...Arieh!

Username: SeaBook

About: I am a sweet and loving woman. A bit shy and can be stubborn in going out, but that just means I have more time for those that matter to me. I can't cook too well, but I love to look up recipes to try with my family. Or to take to my friends. Always willing to lend a hand. Even if it does get me in trouble. I also love long walks on the beach, music, and books.

Wants:Khare-Errr. Karin...Caring man. Someone who...Err. To go for walks with. Umm...Ah. Screw it. Khareesh. Just ask her out! She won't bite. Someone who can cook and handle flame. Must like children. And not run m-er my child off at the slightest whim.

Ideal Date: A nice relaxing evening that keeps me out all night so that way my son and companions can get into...I mean. Prove they can behave themselves in my absence.

Future plans:Marriage. Marry her you idiot That or a long term relationship.

My guess is Tide~!

Username: CaveDweller

About: I tend to be quiet and keep more to myself. Trying to get out there more as I get older though. I am fairly tall and have a protective nature to those I care about. Family means a lot to me and would be something I would like my loved one to be able to enjoy.

Wants: Looking for someone that likes to work with plants with others. Able to handle family get togethers respectfully. Someone not afraid to stand up for themself and willing to talk to me.

Ideal Date: My ideal date is... Um... Well, one where I can spend time with someone comfortably.

Future Plans: I have no particular future plans other than finding someone to live comfortably with.

I'm going to guess Retsom!

Username: TricksterMystic

About: I'm a social person by nature, enjoying get-togethers and parties. I've been called a flirt, and I don't deny it. What can I say? I simply love how adorable some people look when I compliment them and they blush or get flustered! But when things get serious, I can also be downright dangerous with my magic.

Wants: My idea partner has to be perfect. When I give my heart away, it's gone. So it would have to be someone who would cherish me as much as I cherish them, but at the same time wouldn't curtail my teasing nature.

Ideal Date: Hmm... perhaps surprisingly, something peaceful and private, like a walk through the woods or a nice private picnic. Failing that, then some kind of festival or such with food and games where we can play and have fun.

Future Plans: Right now as I'm still unfamiliar with this land I have no immediate future plans, other than having as much fun as I can. Though children are definitely somewhere in my future life.
Note: Until further stated, Scarheart, Belial, and Cassandra have standing permission to powerplay Raferties or Anari.
