All right, so I closed my longtime site, Somnia to just a couple of members and one of the members won't be active for several months. I run one other site but it's also super slow SO! I need a site to join for a while (and if I love it, I'll stay!) to keep busy in the interim. I don't want to build another site because running three sites (even if one of them is private and the other is slow) is just too much for me. I want to just be chill and be a member for once.
However, I'm really picky... I've been looking for a site to join all day and there's always something that makes me turn away.
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR!
• Preferably urban fantasy of some kind. I love me some urban fantasy. If it's about mutants, superheroes, has mechas and monsters, magical powers, whatever, I'll probably love it. I like reality with a twist so even a small fantasy twist will work for me.
• I'll also do real life RPs if they have an interesting spin, like crime or an interesting setting. I'm not sure but if you think your site fits the rest of the bill, why not at least link it and we'll see?
• I prefer real life face claims but I'll take a look at animanga stuff, too. BIG giant bonus points if Jackson Wang and/or Kim Byungjoo is open!
• Any type of software will do. I usually prefer sites with a sub-account function but I don't plan on making a lot of characters on whatever site I join so it doesn't really matter that much to me.
• PG-13+ sites! I'm not really into kiddy stuff but I'm aware a lot of sites on free hosts can't rate themselves R or anything. I'm fine with fading to black for explicit scenes but I would really like to have the ability to cuss on the site since I do write some curse happy characters sometimes. (And I'm not fond of watching my own language 24/7 either.)
• LGBT allowed.
STUFF I DON'T REALLY LIKE BUT I MIGHT JOIN ANYWAY IF YOU'RE THAT AWESOME:
• Activity checks where you have to sign in every month or so. Hate them but will live with them if the rest of the site hits every good mark.
• Post templates. But if they're not mandatory for me to use, it's all good.
DEAL-BREAKERS:
• I don't want a word count or any "post matching" rules.
• I won't join a site with a long application and I'd prefer a site without one at all, if possible. But if you do have one, I want a tiny one. Yay! I'm a writer who discovers more about my character by writing them in actual posts, not writing detailed applications.
• A layout where the width of the scrollbar is super skinny is a big nope. I am serious about this. There were a couple of sites I was thinking about joining because they hit most of my marks but I'm on Chrome and these 1-2px scrollbars are just frustrating for me to deal with. I want to be on a site that works for me, not one where I'm cursing just to scroll down the length of the forum. This is especially important for sites with longer indexes. A normal sized scrollbar is absolutely essential.
• Weird regulations, like sites where a character face claim must be within 5 years of age with the character or bans because there's too much of something. Just too strict for me and people who run sites like that don't get along well with me. Sorry! Just trying to avoid the drama side of RP...
Please don't reply to this if your site has any of my deal-breakers. Please. They're deal-breakers for a reason and I absolutely won't change my mind on these things. If I think of anything else, I'll add it in. I know I'm really picky but I just want to find a fun place to play for a while.

Five years ago, the Pokemon League formed Lux to create a new world order of peace and harmony. A rebellion formed, under the name of Nox, cries tyranny at Lux's new microcosmic control. Their civil war now tears the Pokemon world apart. The world hangs in the balance of predormitum. Which side will you choose?
is a high stakes RP set in a dystopian Russian society recovering from an apocalyptic war between the armies of Heaven and Hell. Greater Russia now stands free from the influence of God and the Devil, and all non-humans run the risk of execution. Outside the safe zones lies the contained wasteland of Moscow, where demons and mutated shadowbeasts continue to terrorize the remaining human survivors who have been penned in with them. As of late, increasing evangelic disturbances threaten the peace that has ruthlessly maintained by the secret police.
