Thank you for clicking on this interest check, I will do my best not to send you away screaming in abject horror.
I’m pretty new to RP, I was on the old site for a mere month before it shut down. The same friend who introduced me to it initially suggested I get back to it. I was apprehensive at first, but now admit I am pretty excited at the prospect of restarting. I do not proclaim myself a pro. I’m still very new to the platform and I do apologise for my lack of experience. However I assure potential partners out there, I take pride in my writing and take it seriously. To me this is a hobby, but I feel you only get the most out of your hobbies if you put dedication and effort in to them. I’m quite into sci-fi and fantasy, but I thought since I am just getting back into it, a slice of life would be more manageable. If you want to know a little more about me as we go along writing, that’s fine, I’m open to the idea but I guess I'll just start with telling you I’m a 18+ male. So without further ado, I shall share my idea for a RP of questionable quality... Definitely open to input from you, that’s a huge part of the fun.
Plot
- MC is an international student going to YC's country for university\college after finishing two years of compulsory military service in his country.
- He comes from a wealthy family and his parents expect nothing short of excellence.
- While MC's parents are pretty open about what field of study their son goes into, they expect him to come out on top. MC equates success with the love he receives from his parents.
- He is very filial and he is plagued with the idea that it is completely normal to live for other people.
- MC is confident but a bit of a recluse; he understands the world in slightly unorthodox ways.
- While he acknowledges his sexuality, he does not feel a huge need to publicize it, his parents do not know about it nor do they care to know.
- He has been burnt by one night stands and a lack of connection. Yet he is afraid of giving into the tide of love, defences are up and the walls built are hard to tear down.
- He is interested in the arts, especially theatre. He however denies these feelings most of the time, believing it shifts his focus too much.
YC
I’m pretty okay with you coming up for the specifics of YC and making him your own, however it would be really cool to play with opposites on some level. I believe it creates good conflict that makes a RP really fun. I was thinking the plot could start out with:
- MC being mugged before he enters the campus grounds, losing all his identification.
- MC is at a complete lost as to what to do being a stranger in a strange land. YC for his owb motives whatever they may be, helps MC out.
- Friendship progresses into something more and both of our characters learn things from each other that make them better people.
Again, completely up for changes to this and we can flesh it out together in the beginning and as we progress.
Post length
I kind of like longer posts but then again the main point is character development. If you feel you can do that in two paragraphs I’m not going to hold that against you, but generally I go for about 4-7 paragraphs per post depending.
Graphic nature?
Sure I don’t mind it getting graphic, as long as it adds to the characters and plots though. If the RP call for it, let’s go right ahead.
Privacy
I’m a private person by nature, I would feel much better if this was done through PMs instead of an open thread.
Response rate
If I can help it I would like to respond with at the very least one post every two days, ideally once a day or more. However I understand life has a nasty habit of catching up on you. Keep in communication with me, let me know if you have circumstances that would prevent regular replies. I definitely won’t hold it against you. I will do the same on my side.
Do drop me a message if you are interested :) Let me know if i missed out anything in this interest check that concerns you. Thanks for taking a read!
