[center]Having been away for a long time, two-three months I'd wager, I need a pleasant distraction and challenge to work out the kinks on my flair. Give me a challenge, something to make me dig into the recesses of my old, forgotten, poetic stanza; that I'll [i]want[/i] to respond to immediately without hesitation. I'm attempting to shake off the threads of depression and while art is whimsical and wonderful, I miss the creative itch of the well-written word. That being admitted, I might be persuaded to take on a [b]couple[/b] of partners, no more, no less.[/center]

[indent]* don't bother me for responses, I'm rusted, chipped, I need to apply myself back into the method of respective prose. 
* be willing to give and take from any and all ideas and suggestions.
* be creative; I encourage you to think outside the box.
* if you are unable to post within a certain time: inform me, courtesy is a given. I'll be cross, otherwise.
* if the role play doesn't interest you any longer, don't be afraid to want to scrap the story, I'm willing to do something else with you.
* your character isn't a badass who knows everything. They are [i]flawed[/i]
* OOC talk helps me to get to know you.
* [b]PM me first, don't post here[/b]; if I don't reply within twenty-four hours, then send me another one. Chances are I missed it.
* if you are having trouble coming up with something, I'm willing to work with you, it's only fair.[/indent]

[indent]* I don't care what gender you are, play whichever you want.
* double up if you wish, sometimes I will too.
* I really don't care about your age, I won't ask, but minds think alike within a certain, numerical, timeline. 
* same sex pairings or heterosexual: I'm okay with playing either.
* I'm capable of adapting to your preferences, so be courteous to my own.
* I won't role play straight on smut, I'm not interested in explicit exploits without a plot to found it.
* no, I won't play your princess or prince.
* I don't have any particular limits, unless it's just completely ridiculous.
* I tend to lean towards psychological damages and violence, because I relate to them and thus, can write these tropes with finesse and ease.
* on that note; gore and language doesn't bother me, as I said, I don't have limitations to what I'll write.
* you can request away when it comes to stories and pairings, I won't mind.
* please come to me with an idea, don't just message me with, "I don't know, what are you craving?". If my supplied smidgens of ideas don't appeal to you, then think of something else for us.
* romance will [i]not[/i] be the foundation, please. I know it'll probably happen, that's one&one role plays for you. But if we are going to do so, then let's do other things too. I'll get bored after they finally "bang."
* I prefer threads over PMs, why, because it just appears cleaner and more refined in comparison to the messaging system here.[/indent]

[center][i]Please note: these are old, old, dust riddled and cob-webbed plots that may, or may not need a fine polish to make them really shine. I'm not completed wedded to them, but lingering attachments remain because they have yielded wonderful results before, but things change and partners leave. So, adjustments and some fine tuning might be in order, so the listed premises are not concrete or sealed into finality, and may be scrapped entirely for the sake of "freshness". 

Update: Those labeled with a specific icon are newly conceived premises, older ones will be bedecked in a similar icon. Clubs are old, Spades are new. 

I've gone ahead and marked the premises that I'm currently the most invested in with an, !, to signify importance.[/i][/center]

[indent]♣ | [i]taken[/i] | [s][b]ａｐｏｃａｌｙｐｓｅ[/b] — four horsemen; [i]modern, few fantasy elements, situations of abuse and sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-image, bulimia/anorexia, and death.[/i][/s][/indent]
[hider=&][center]Obviously we'll be doubling up in this one, or make it into a particular group of players, honestly I don't mind either one. But for now it's a theme for us, and an idea. I don't care which of these character types you choose, though your choice is limited as I only ask that I role play Death myself. The plot in mind is the gathering of these certain individuals because the world needs Order. Death has been charged with finding the right sort of people designated for these stations, these symbols of office. The catch is to surrender your mortal life and become one of the Horsemen, a small price really considering that their current existences are hellacious and demanding, pushing some to extreme measures to survive. Death himself was recently appointed to his station, a fresh face to carve the world and he needs help to do so, but who will be worthy and willing to take up the scales, the sword and the crown? [/center][/hider]

[indent]♣ | [i]taken[/i] | [s][b]ａｐｏｃａｌｙｐｓｅ[/b] — the world is dead; [i]post-war depression, quest-like and a battle of survival, sensitive subjects of cannibalism and religious fanaticism.[/i][/s][/indent]
[hider=&][center]What is left to do when there are no plants or clean water? Eat each other. Certain groups or clans of cannibals have turned ravenous and are attacking shambled settlements, thus they are calling on mercenary factions to deal with the onslaught. Clearly this is where we come in, you can play a wanderer or whichever you wish. I'll be playing a mercenary/smith from the Shadow Jackals; an infamous group heard and known to finish any contract by any means. But cannibals aren't the only concern, a religious fanatic is preaching about the Second Coming, a supposed war that will be more than just brother pitted against brother. She speaks of the Red and the White and the Black, three beings that she has seen and spoken with personally. She knows an awful lot about the cannibal groups and their begone measures of humanity; is she the cause?[/center][/hider] 

[indent]♣ | [b]ｍｏｄｅｒｎ[/b] — hell's kitchen; [i]emotional turmoil, family abuse, sensitive subjects of murder and incarceration. conspiracy and power abuse such as wealth and money.[/i][/indent]
[hider=&][center]No, not that television show. It's an expression. Now, this is one has a little romance in it, but it is very light when compared to the dark undertones it carries. Essentially the protagonists consist of the Heiress, or Heir, if you prefer and the lesser being who is a grounds keeper or someone relevant who works for the family, whichever, and whom was blamed and imprisoned for the murder of the elder McKinely. The grandfather of the Heir to this story. Now their father was the real culprit, wanting to clear his way into becoming the head of the family finally, waiting for the old codger to pass was not within his schemes. The grandfather, George McKinely II, was willing to marry their grandchild to who ever they wished and allowed the family to be free and without oppression, for love or whichever they desired. He was carefree in life, and did not herald their wealth and power like a bludgeon to the world. The father was not, obviously, evident in his conspiracies. We can work out the details through some discussion, but you get the idea.[/center][/hider]

[indent]♣ | [b]ｍｏｄｅｒｎ[/b] — life is a bitch; [i]emotional turmoil, sensitive subjects of drug use and abuse, prostitution and self-harm.[/i][/indent]
[hider=&][center]Two souls lost within the world without anyone to listen or care. One is an artist struggling to find his muse and inspiration, to paint something alive rather than dead. They struggle often from day to day to meet dead lines and keep themselves going simply because they know they have to. The other is a drug dealing prostitute struggling to find someone who cares, to live everyday despite being used nearly everyday. It's only in a chance meeting that they may be able to find themselves within the other and save each other, or will the sins be too great to bear? This one will most likely be taken to PMs if certain aspects are heavily applied. But we'll work it out and see.[/center][/hider]

[indent]♠ | [i]taken[/i] | [s][b]ｆａｎｔａｓｙ[/b] — the obsession; [i]religious fanaticism, heavy in lore, sensitive subjects towards taboos and human experimentation subjects; demonic cameos, cults, ritualistic discovery.[/i][/s][/indent] 
[hider=&][center]Because I have a severe knack and fascination with the unorthodox and religious subjects of old testament that are cults, rituals, the fanaticism of knowledge to know anything and everything within life. This is a fantasy realm with modern finesse to back-bone that world in which it is crafted under. In the struggle to obtain power, and the secrets of human modification, a specific individual dives deep into the occult to bring back the deceased beloved of their past. In the desperation of begone morality, the individual finds more than they bargained for in the tumultuous effects of their obsession.

This requires a lot of polish, as the premise is flimsy at best in my mind and warrants some assistance on your part to refine the rough edges.[/center][/hider]

[indent]♠ | [b]ｆａｎｔａｓｙ[/b] — hawk song [[b]![/b]]; [i]heavy in lore, based from a previously existing series, touches subjects of court intrigue, insanity, feral magic and war.[/i][/indent]
[hider=&][center]If you are familiar with the Kiesha'ra Series, then you'll have an original grasp of the premise. Pre-existing knowledge of the realm is preferred, but it is not difficult to grasp once the specifics are detailed in a summary. While this could be labeled under my fandom category, I find that it is original enough for us to dabble onto it, with, or without, a back-boning of the novels mentioned previously. With that permitted, this involves a quantum of shape shifters, any species is applicable but do not over whelm the fantasy prose unless you can tack it down to something relatively tame. There is not an affirmed plot here, so your own creative lee-way can be implemented should you come up with something for us, keep in mind my aforementioned tags for us to craft around.[/center][/hider]

[indent]♠ | [i]taken[/i] | [s][b]ｍｏｄｅｒｎ．ｆａｎｔａｓｙ[/b] — breeds [[b]![/b]]; [i]government conspiracies, mature themes and subjects of human experimentation, genetic tampering, feral insanity and sickness, domination over the mind and body.[/i][/s][/indent]
[hider=&][center]The Breeds, as they are called, were human without rights, were treated as the animals they were crafted from under with what society called the Alpha Project. It was a headline into scientific prowess when government officials dictated its freedom into refining the human genome. Various tests proven faulty and insane were drafted from their formerly labeled "classified" tables and brought into the fold of playing God. Subjects were induced into feral madness to harness their bestial temperaments, effectively creating weapons of genetically powered humans to back-bone and slate their terrible obsession with pushing past boundaries of science and medicine. But during the raids into every lab they could find within the mountains sides, underground forts, and pillaging the offices of Breed Affairs, these previously damaged beings were given rights to life, but still fight for it to this day between the Council, Haven and Sanctuary where Breeds live and struggle to obtain life through the bars of their new cages.

Once again, not an affirmed plot, but just a premise for us to build upon, consider this a loose foundation. These are not shape shifters, do not get that confused.[/center][/hider]

[indent][b]ｆａｎｄｏｍｓ[/b] — I'm a little leery about this, because I don't do them often. So read and ask with caution and come to me with an idea and we'll work on it.[/indent]
