EDIT - Closed for now as I have hit my capacity of writing partners. When I open up again, I’ll update the topic and bump the thread. Thanks for your understanding. Welcome to my 1x1 thread! I’m Concept and I’m in search of telling good stories. This will be my base thread for all my searches going forward. So I’m looking for a partner for a character-driven story to role play. My ideal partner: Age 18+ IRL gender is irrelevant Communicative Consistent poster (whatever your interval, just be consistent) Alright with adding their own lore, development, and ideas as the story goes on, a true collaborative effort My RP preferences: Platonic relationship—you can add romance with any NPCs you want, but my character and yours will remain platonic, good or even best friends at most. Quality over quantity. Post length is high casual to advanced, 3-5 paragraphs of substance, but a quality post is always the most preferred. I’ll RP on the guild or through PMs, but not through email/docs or anything like that. Just my preference. My posting schedule is likely weekly unless I get unexpected time to do another. Otherwise, you can at expect once a week at least. On to the ideas. [hider=All The Lights In The Sky Are Stars]I’m calling the story [i]All The Lights In The Sky Are Stars[/i]. It follows a smuggler(whom I’ll be playing) and a special operations agent as they are paired together to take on an off-book black operation. When things go wrong, they decide to investigate exactly the reason they were set up, who wants them gone, and why. A sci-fi thriller, if you will. The plot is simple because this will be a character-driven story and our decisions will drive the plot in whatever direction it needs to go.[/hider] [hider=The Last of Us]This would be an AU with OCs as I’m not much a fan of playing established characters. This would be a character-driven RP with a simple set up. Our characters are mercenaries who take contracts from the highest bidding factions. They are tasked with stealing medicine from the Fireflies by the WLF. They are meeting one another for the first time and are used to working alone, but have to learn to work together in order to survive when things go wrong. That’s the set up. Our collaborative decisions guide the story from there. Sounds simple, but could be developed nicely in IC with strong characterization.[/hider] [hider=A Sun-Kissed Blade]This one is much less fleshed out than I’d like it to be, but that’s the fun of collaboration right? I really only have a yearning for a low fantasy, character-driven story about wandering former knights now moonlighting as mercenaries and getting caught up in misadventures. I’m up for ideas and suggestions on it of course.[/hider] - [b][i]Partnered[/i][/b] [hider=Assassin’s Creed: Creedfall]Having just gotten Mirage, I’m feeling an AC role play. The story would follow two master assassins whose loyalty, ideals, and very core are tested when they learn that Creed may be no better than the Order. How will they decide to live when they’ve lived by a Creed their whole lives? This is another barebones, skeleton of an idea that needs to be fleshed out. It’d be character-driven of course and I haven’t decided what historical time period it would take place in, but I know it wouldn’t be modern day. EDIT—The role play would take place in a fictional city-state in Africa in 1320 ce during the height of the Mali empire under Mansa Musa’s rule. The two master Assassin’s would be meeting in the fictional city-state of Johari from different Hidden Ones guilds across the world. As they are eliminating targets for their joint mission, they come to realize that they are not being told everything about the targets and the Creed itself may not be any better than The Order. They must decide if they will remain loyal or seek out a brand new purpose in the city of Johari all the while potentially having both Assassins and Order cultists at their backs[/hider] [hider=J.A.E.G.E.R]This would be a character-driven military/spy thriller following two characters belonging to an extralegal military program—Judicious Auxiliary Extralegal Group Extermination Reaver—whose members are trained to take on high value targets and prevent cataclysmic or catastrophic circumstances from occurring. The story would follow the duo through their daily lives both on and off mission and showcase how their personal and professional worlds can collide in unexpected ways when they are suddenly called away to handle a threat that could have dire consequences nationwide or even globally in complete clandestine silence. The characters would be partners on mission, but have individual lives off mission such as different friend groups, families, etc. They would still be friends off mission and have the chance to hang out and what have you.[/hider] [hider=Open Call]If you have any ideas, let’s hear them and see what we can work up. I’m willing and open to suggestions and ideas.[/hider] This is what I’m looking for right now. In the future, I’ll use this thread for other ideas or I’ll post an open call if I’m feeling it. Thanks for reading and I hope to be collabing on a great story soon!
