Hello! This is Yami speaking. This is currently in progress, so more ideas will be added to it later. Feel free to comment or PM me if you find anything here interesting, though!
I've been feeling like something is a little off for me lately, and for some reason, I thought that maybe a few 1x1s might be good for inspiration. I'm a little busy this time of year, so I'm only looking for maybe three at the moment, and the amount of writing necessary per post is only based on whether you can move the story along or reveal important character traits through your post. So, probably no one-line replies, but I'm definitely not looking for a straight seven-paragraph wall of text. That might overwhelm me, actually...
I'll try to do similarly in my own posts, as I usually attempt to mirror partners or go with whatever I can get from previously introduced information. I don't mind if it takes a little while to reply, but please drop me a sign if you are going to be gone for a while or at least let me know that you're going to be busy if you're not sure how often that you'll be able to post. Please don't just leave me! The guild has made me just a tad insecure regarding being abandoned by roleplayers...
Seriously, though, you have any other trouble or just don't want to continue for whatever reason, just say so. I won't get mad, I just want to know who to wait for and if I should open up spots for other people who may be interested. Life happens, it's fine. I'll do my best to do the same for you.
Okay, so here are a few base rules before we get started, then we can move on to a few ideas I have right now if you find them reasonable for your style.
If you have read all the rules, please just type a random cake flavor in italics somewhere in your message. I know it's probably weird, but I have had people try to blatantly ignore some of the more important rules no matter how many times I've said them and I'd like to avoid that problem early on this time.
1. I am over 18, however, I am not really comfortable with sexual scenes. Sorry, that's just how I am; no smut for me. I also can't take too much gore detail - I know, I'm lame, but I tend to actually feel what I'm reading after a certain amount of detail and I don't want to end up curled up on the floor for an entire night instead of replying to you. Insinuations, suggestions, and some slight gore, I can probably deal with. If you're unsure, just ask and I'll let you know if it's too much for me to handle.
2. Please let me know what you can and can't do as well! I want my partners to be comfortable whenever possible, and I can't read minds over the internet (yet).
3. Please no rape. I'm finding this to be too much of a trigger right now, and I'd rather be replying to you than having a near panic attack for an hour or more. Definitely don't joke about it. Just no.
4. If you take control of my characters for any reason without blatant consent, we might have a problem. I will be following the same rule.
5. I like romance, and I'm even hoping for some, but please don't try to force it. I prefer to have things work a bit naturally, even if it is intended from the start. Additionally, romance will never be the entire plot; I like to have other things going on to keep life interesting. I feel like romance is better when it arises as part of another situation anyway.
6. Reasonable spelling and grammar, please. Nobody's perfect, and I won't get upset over errors here and there for either, but just remember that I can't reply if I can't understand what you're trying to say. No txt speak unless it become relevant, either.
7. Feel free to talk to me about random stuff outside of the roleplay as well. I like it when I can just chill with people that I write with.
8. I do use a lot of anime-style pictures for characters. I even draw like that whenever I do draw them myself. I don't mind if you don't, just please be aware that I will.
9. I will let you know if anything else comes up that should probably be taken into account. Things change, and if we run into problems, I'd like to try to fix them when possible.
Thanks for reading through that! If you still want to try, here are a couple of things I'm hoping for. There may be a few other ideas posted a little later, too, so feel free to check back.
I'm generally okay with playing different genders and gender pairings, so just ask if there's a specific one you want. I'm not too picky.
The land has been threatened by the great entity known as the Demon King for quite some time, and humanity has been living in fear, hoping for the day when they would be liberated. Finally, the hero of prophecy has arisen, and through many trials, eventually became strong enough to challenge the terrible evil. Making their way through the realm of demons all the way up to the palace, the hero has the chance to confront the beast at last!
...Only to find the throne occupied by a weak, sickly, and rather scared young man. Who apparently has been secretly watching the hero from afar for a long time?
Is this really the great threat that humanity must be saved from?

I'm going to meet with them today. I've already arranged for it. You see, among my ancestors, it has always been a custom when they found themselves attracted to someone to capture them for their own. The way we are, it has always been difficult to even think of romancing someone, so it had become one of the few ways they could think of to change things.
Despite this, I have resolved never to do such a thing. It has just never seemed like a good idea if you want to win someone over. I've held myself to this even after I found someone that I really liked.
I've wanted to speak with them for a long time, to get the chance to get to know each other. I can't just watch forever, that has its own problems. It's just as weird.
And yet, for all this time, I've been too scared to attempt it. So many things could go wrong: I'm from a line of infamous sorcerers and they're... kind of royalty. Typical Fairy Tale stuff, I know. Like the story of that girl and the monster or something...
But anyway, I've decided that I can't just watch anymore! Even if there's a chance that it might go badly, I have to try! Once and for all, I have to prove that these things can be done differently.
Basically, a more comedic take on the whole trope of a dark sorcerer stealing a princess/prince/other royal figure for whatever reason. In this case, it's because they like them, and how could kidnapping a love interest possibly go wrong, right?
Well, in this case, the sorcerer has actually considered this and decided that such a plan is a terrible way to get people to like you. Which leads to a lot of self-questioning when their original plan backfires and they end up kidnapping their interest anyway. But the question remains: Is there a way to still make this work? And what kinds of consequences will come up because of this? It's unlikely that said royalty is just going to forgive this transgression, and even less likely that the people who support them will, either.
...Or will they? That's all up to you, of course, as it is to find out the truth behind this awkward dark sorcerer and their methods.
Again, either role can be any gender. Just let me know your preference.
No actual plot yet, but I have a sudden craving for something like this. Airships, AU tech, and probably a little magic. If I don't come up with something soon, I'm totally open to suggestions.
Maybe a sky piratexroyalty or sky piratexwinged person type of thing would be cool... I'll type more as ideas develop.
(Might retype this later. Was a bit tired when I finally got to it.)
I actually got this intro from somebody's story that I read a while back, but I thought that the concept would be really fun to play out. I claim no credit for the original idea, but I will be changing a lot of details for this RP, especially as the story goes on.
Once, despite the numerous warnings received from their parents and even the family friend who watched over them at times, a very young angel fell to earth after playing a little too close to a hole in the clouds. Scared and desperate to get back home, but with no knowledge of how to do so, the angel made a deal with a demon who happened to be in the area to return to where they had fallen from. Unfortunately, neither of the two knew at the that such a thing was a crime with horrible consequences for the angel. Stripped of all memory and power as an angel, they were forced to live as a human on earth for the rest of their now-mortal life.
Years have passed, but it seems that neither the guilt-burdened demon nor the regret-filled, still angelic former babysitter can seem to leave them alone.
So, the SorcererxRoyal(Prince/Princess) is basically a more comedic take on those stories where the bad guy -a dark sorcerer in this case- kidnaps an innocent person under the pretense of wanting them as a significant other or something like that. Instead of just "I kidnap you because I'm bad and that's how it works until your knight comes to save you", I've been wondering what it would be like if the villain was actually just unfortunately perpetuating an old tradition that he didn't even agree with. And what would he do if he actually worried what his equally unfortunate captive thought of him? How would his captive respond to the situation? Would they be angry or upset with him forever, or would they take advantage of the confused villain?
Essentially, this kind of turns into a Beauty and the Beast situation in my head, complete with a curse that serves as a big part of why the weird tradition is in place anyway. Of course, even though the "villain" here is written as a guy, that isn't set in stone, and is completely negotiable. It was just the quickest way my tired brain could get the info down so it still makes sense. Technically, the "royal" doesn't necessarily need to be royal, either; it just sounded really amusing to me to think of how the characters deal with the various other issues that come with abducting a member of a royal family. What happens when all the knights start arriving to take back the captive? X3
I'll probably add a condensed version of this explanation to the OP as well. I just want something here so I don't forget.
