Emily Schmemillee

Hi! I'm Em and I'm looking to get back into TTRPGs after being away from it for 10+ years. It's been quite a while since I've actually played, but I'm definitely not new to roleplaying! Been writing fantasy roleplay and creating original characters since 2013 and I'm always growing and learning. Character development, backstory, and collaborative storytelling are the parts of the game that excite me most. I love creating characters who feel real (although can be cliche at times). Most have complicated histories, conflicting moralities, and room to change as the story unfolds. Because I've been away from it for so long, I'm way rusty on the mechanics and newer rules and need some guidance. I'm very willing to learn, though. I'm overall interested in telling a great story with the rest of the table and I'll follow everyone's lead on that. My playstyle definitely leans roleplay and character-driven, although I enjoy combat and exploration as parts of the story as well. I especially love campaigns where characters can develop meaningful relationships with one another and where their choices, beliefs, histories, and such actually matter. Give me moral dilemmas, and character arcs and lasting dire consequences!! I'm all for it. I have quite a few original fantasy characters that could potentially be adapted for RPGs, but I'm also willing to develop a whole new character to fit scenarios or homebrew worlds! I love characters who are so ugly that they're beautiful, absolutely monstrous on the outside but have shining personalities within (such as a Myconid Priestess, a headless Dullahan, and a ghoul pirate captain) but I've also had some downright baddies (such as a dragonkin princess, a holy paladin, and a merfolk bard). Let's collaborate on it and figure out what works with the story/group!
