Hello there! My name is Syrenrei and while I am new to this site, I am not new to RP. I got my start with text-based RP back in the days of AOL chatrooms and AIM at 14 years old. I graduated from there to IRC, Gaia, e-mails, RPN, and now here! I am 37 years old, so I've been at this for some time now. In most places I am considered "literate" or "advanced" as I prefer to write at least three paragraphs per post but often write considerably more. I will make every attempt to match what you produce. RULES: 1. I am looking for a [b]long term[/b] role-play partner. I have outlasted many RP partners thus far. =( 2. Please be able to post at least 3 paragraphs once a week. 3. You should be at least 18 years old, but I have a soft spot for people my age (30+). 4. I do not do fandoms. OCs only! 5. I play main characters that are [i]female[/i] exclusively because I'm a jerk and require romance in my RP. REQUIRE. I will not pretend to be happy in a role play without romance. I've tried. I can't do it. Please, please, please don't reach out to me for RP if you don't like romance or will end up making characters that are not open to romance physically, emotionally, mentally, etc. INTERESTS: World creation, nation building, etc. High and low fantasy, sci-fi, futuristic, urban fantasy, post-apocalyptic, medieval settings Social drama and political intrigue Arranged marriages, kingdoms embroiled in war, rebellion uprisings, anything with royalty and/or nobility Characters with major flaws [b]Plot Ideas[/b] [hider=The Font] In a world with magic she is an anomaly. She is a font, a person incapable of magic themselves but able to produce copious amounts of raw arcana- and gift it to others. Their scarcity has made life for any font exceedingly dangerous. They are coveted by casters as one with their reserve at their disposal can perform great feats regularly with little recovery time. Her master, an elderly gentleman who prefers men to women and who no longer cares to use his magic, has sold her on the market. My character= Female font Your character= Her New Master [i]This can take place in the modern day world or a completely fictitious one we create ourselves. While romance is necessary, how that progresses, and how your character feels about owning another is entirely up to you. While the lore does not allow the font to safely live free (as she would be hunted by casters eager to use her), there are ample opportunities for continuing conflict in the story.[/i] CURRENTLY SEEKING A MODERN, FUTURISTIC, OR MAGICAL SETTING (HIGH OR LOW)! My two current RPs are medieval-ish, so I want something different. =) [/hider] [hider=The Betrothed] Civilization nearly self-destructed with a war that left the world scarred and the surviving population a fraction of what it once was. From its ashes warlords emerged as they fought over territory and people. Now centuries later new nations have been established. One such nation is ruled by a monarchy who keeps the country unified but is unquestionably ruthless. To keep their bloodline strong, the emperor/king allows the citizens to compete for the hand of the prince or princess in brutal trials once they are of proper age. The victor elevates their family to nobility but at a cost- once they have had children with their royal spouse, they will meet an untimely demise. Even knowing this the 'breeding spouse' deems the contest worth the sacrifice. Your Character= Prince or Winner of the Contest My Character= Princess or Winner of the Contest [i]This idea is from a partner I've had in the past. You may either construct the royal family yourself or I will do so. There are opportunities here to overthrow the dictatorship, to have siblings vying for power, and assassination attempts.[/i] [/hider] [hider=Evermore] Most superheroes, or people otherwise affected by extraordinary circumstances, have an ability that can be used offensively or defensively. Hers is neither. She has the power of regeneration but no fighting prowess, no amplified agility, no inhuman strength, or other weaponry. She is just very, very hard to kill. She is the most literal version of a human shield and protects people as best she can- even though it is painful, even though she is lonely, even though she has lost hope of a normal life. Unbeknownst to her she has drawn the attention of those that want to harness her ability and figure out a way to recreate it- so that they may live forever. There is no ethical way to do this, so they will rely on the unethical. My character= Modified/ superhuman Your character= See below [i]This could be set in the modern day or in the past- just so long as superpowers are extraordinary instead of commonplace. Your character could be a villain kidnapping her for experimentation, a similarly powered person with good intentions, or someone who simply sees what is happening and tries to intervene. I admit I have a slight preference for a more corrupt character being swayed over the course of the RP![/i] [/hider] [hider=The Queen and her King] In times long past, the kingdom was like so many of its peers and tracked its lineage through the male bloodline; however, rumors and scandals arose about parentage that threatened the stability of the country. For practical reasons the culture has shifted over the last centuries and now the royal family (as well as much of the nobility) is traced through the maternal line- after all, it is hard to deny from what woman a child is borne when it is so easily witnessed. The queen has just passed, leaving behind several children, two of which are female. The eldest daughter has been crowned queen but has a predicament- unlike some of her other siblings she is unwed. Now with the responsibilities of ruling riding on her shoulders, she has married for political and/or economic gain, not having met her husband until their exceedingly formal marriage ceremony. All eyes are on her and her spouse- how will they rule? How quickly will they produce and heir? And how will they handle the whispering of war brewing at the border? Your Character= The Queen My Character= The King [i]Your character may be a prince from another country, a noble man, or even a man of mixed fantasy heritage (such as a shapeshifter)- so long as you have a reason that your character's hand in marriage would be an attractive offer. Please note my character will be assertive, as she is a ruler, but I am NOT looking for a male character that is looking to be her sub plaything. Because of all the pressure on her she needs a counterpart that can allow her to 'rest' and not have to be 'in charge' constantly, who she can respect, and who could see her as more than a monarch. Also, while the kingdom is a matriarchy, men are still well-regarded. While there is some bias, there is no slavery based on gender or anything so extreme. This is NOT the Amazons.[/i] [/hider] [hider=The Risen] Everyone knows of the tale of fallen angels who have succumbed to dark forces, but what of the other? Could a demon, a devil, a damned ascend to something more? She was born a demon but is not defined by her lineage. Her parents are unarguably malevolent but she is not like them. As she has disguised herself and gone into hiding, for the sake of her sanity, her very birth has faded to nothing but a myth. Some, however, know of her existence. Demons consider her an abomination and want her dead. The angelic order are divided on whether she is worthy of their attention or if they should recruit her to help boost their own forces. By trade she is a mercenary and has mortal enemies. Sooner or later there will be a reckoning and realization that not everything is black and white. Your character= Any fantastical creature or ordinary person My character= A demon who is on a slow path of redemption/ascension [i]This is not tied to Christian mythos. When I have played this character before it has been either in a high or low fantasy world, but always with deities that were created with the setting. If you are comfortable taking a lot of liberties with the Christian mythos, we could adapt it, but this works best in a more fantastical setting, such as an alternative Earth-like world in which some magic exists.[/i] [/hider] [hider=Rebirth of Fairytales] It is a world without magic, but it wasn't always this way. If the stories are to be believed, once a witch was able to summon people from another world, and when those people arrived in the kingdoms they developed fantastical powers. They were the heroes and villains of legend, as were their children who had some magic in their blood, and those after them. But the spell was only cast once and so the magical blood has been reduced to nothing in the current day. A king and queen without children or an heir are desperate. The queen, who blames herself for their infertility, researches the blood magic rituals the witch used, and casts the summoning spell with great difficulty and the ultimate sacrifice- her life. She pulls one, two, or more people from Earth to her world, hoping they will be successors to the throne, and save them from the greedy empires on their border. My character= Preferably a woman from modern-day Earth yanked to this other world Your character= Either a man also drawn from modern-day Earth, or a person of your choosing in the world in which this takes place [i]I am totally flexible on what magical powers my and/or your character develop when they are drawn to this other world. The world in which this takes place does not have people with magical abilities save witches who cast blood spells, which have a high cost of literal blood and very little effect.[/i] [/hider] I am pretty open to most stories as long as they (and the setting) are not horribly tragic. As long as you don't plan to kill off our main characters I am game. Please feel free to reach out to me via private message or on Discord (Syrenrei#3184). Thank you for reading!
