Good morning, my lads and lasses of the world! I’m Fiddlesticks, though a lot of people just call me Fiddles. Or Sticks. Or Sticksfiddle. Or Spaz. Or Mitzi. That last one is probably the least popular of the bunch, though you’re still welcome to call me that! I’m a female human from the United States, and someone who is actually incredibly new to writing and roleplay. I’ve enjoyed reading all my life though, especially romance novels. After a while though, my friends introduced me to D&D, and well… I fell in love. I loved the aspect of being able to tell a story with my friends, even if it was driven by game mechanics. I even remember the exact conversation I had that got me to try roleplay: [i]“You know… I really love DnD, but I wish there was something like it without the game mechanics!” “Oh… You mean roleplay?”[/i] And now here I am. I guess the TL;DR is… I’m new to roleplay and writing, but not exactly story telling. I can write proper, literate sentences, and I know some basics about story writing. That being said, if you are super experienced, I’m hoping you’d be willing to go a little easy on me? I feel like I’m rambling quite a bit though. I had a couple plots that I have been thinking of, most of them inspired by either books I’ve read, various video games, or certain D&D campaigns I’ve done. You may recognize some of them, and if you do it’d be cool if you said something! I enjoy nerding out about such topics, and oh my lord do I love to nerd out in general! I think it’d be cool to be able to talk out of character, maybe even become friends? I’m rambling again. Without further ado, rules and all that jazz! [hr] [center][u][b]RULES & JAZZ[/b][/u] I’d like to keep roleplays sex free. It can be in your backstory (be it through abuse, or maybe something else), but there will never be a point where our characters have sex in the story. I’m not 18 years of age, and while some people may not care about that, I care about it a lot. I won’t accidentally bait someone into an RP they aren’t comfortable with, therefore sex is out. I will not budge on this, and while I won’t instantly ignore you if you ask, I will be incredibly disappointed. Please don’t ask. That being said, I am open to mature themes. Drugs, blood, guts, whatever you feel the need to do. I personally don’t even swear much in my roleplays, but I can chalk that up to being part of my character. I’d like to think that roleplays can be mature without constant swears, though you are welcome to do whatever you feel like. Aside from sex of course. I’d like to also keep responses at somewhat high quality. I don’t mind if you aren’t the most advanced, because Lord knows I’m not either. I’ll be posting about 2 - 3 paragraphs at minimum, so you know what to expect from me. That being said, I don’t particularly mind one liners, as long as you are doing something. Something that moves the story along right? Response times aren’t an issue to me. I don’t care if you respond in a week or in a second, all I ask is that you say something if you have no interest anymore. Please don’t leave me hanging alright? I’m pretty active myself, but given how many roleplays I’m in… well, you can’t expect me to respond just as quick if you are instant. That being said, I’d really like to keep in touch out of character. We don’t have to be best friends or something, but I’d really like to talk things out? Be it about the weather, or how it’s going outside, or strictly business as usual, I don’t mind which. I’d just like to get to know you a little bit I guess? Maybe if we finish our current roleplay, we could start another together or something. I play a lot of female characters. That’s not really a rule or anything, but I thought I should let you know. None of my plots require a specific a gender or anything, but just expect me to play a lot of female characters.

Long ago, brave warriors across the realm stood together against an immortal evil known as the Old Ones. In the wake of this struggle, the champions: the Archmage, Knight, Ranger and Templar, locked away the power of the Old Ones inside Eternia Crystals. Recently, the realm's heroes, called to a far away crusade, have left their younger kin to tend the castle and its chores. Bored with their dreary duties, and imagining action and adventure, the pupils accidentally unleash an ancient force that has long been dormant! Now these heroes in training will have to grow up quickly. Together they will defend the Eternia Crystals against those who would seek to resurrect the ancient evils!”[/i] So this would be a Dungeon Defenders roleplay, which is a tower defense/ RPG game. I was thinking the premise would be really cool, especially with custom classes and towers and locations and stuff? I’m not the most familiar with the second game’s levels, story, classes, etc, but I can certainly try if you’d like to do that instead?[/hider] [hider=Bloodborne] This one is pretty self explanatory. I am absolutely in love with Bloodborne, be it the story, the weapons, the cool armor sets, the not-suspicious-begger NPCs, all of it! I love Bloodborne to bits, and well… an RP would be really cool about it. I was thinking it would be about two hunters braving the night, and maybe focusing more on the hunt? I like the idea of the eldritch and the Great Ones, but I’d really like to focus on the hunt. Your character can be whatever however! A Choir Member seeking to end the beastly scourge? A Cainhurst Knight defecting from their home? It’s all up to you, but I ask that you keep a lore appropriate “build” in mind! In game, you can’t realistically wield a chikage and a whirligig saw while shooting black sky eyes and still expect good results. The builds won’t affect our RP per se, but you can’t have everything! [/hider] [hider=Warcraft!] So this is a fandom that I’m incredibly into, if you discount WoW and Hearthstone. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m only familiar with the lore of Warcraft 1 - 3, so please don’t expect to understand the other two! That being said, I don’t have a whole lot to add here. I like Warcraft, especially Warcraft 3, and maybe you’d like an RP for it? I don’t have a specific plot in mind.[/hider] [hider=Karakai no jozu Takagi-san (Skilled teaser Takagi)] I don’t want a full on RP about Takagi and Nishikita, but a story heavily inspired by it? Boy or girl likes the other, and they constantly tease the other? I think this could make for an incredibly cute story, just like the anime. That being said, it would be a romance, but it would be centering around two cutesy middle schoolers / high schoolers. I’m even willing to bend and make it MxM or FxF if you ask, so just let me know! [/hider] [center][b]RATED M FOR MATURE[/b][/center][center][i][u]Themes with a bit of maturity in mind.[/u][/i][/center] [hider= An outsider in Sedona (FxF?)] [i]In the quiet village of Sedona, everyone seemingly knows one another. With a population of only 600 or so, how could they not know each other? Gossip travels like wildfire, as if everything single action taken and word spoken was under scrutiny from everyone within the village. To those who don’t live there, it could described simply as “a bunch of judgemental hicks and potheads.” It wouldn’t be entirely inaccurate, though it would depend on who you ask… Enter Selena Beauregard, the brand new person who just moved in. A woman just barely in her twenties, moving in from a large city, everyone seems to have instantly noticed how different she is. A writer and artist by trade, often holing herself up in her home for most of the day, why wouldn’t everyone think she was strange? In a village full of farmers and craftsmen, why would she fit in?[/i] Simple story, I suppose. I was planning on playing the role of Selena, while your character would hopefully be… well… a female. I don’t really know how I want this to play out, but I want like, ostracization. Everyone isn’t going to sit back and say “oh cool, the outsider is a lesbian dating someone who's lived here her entire life. This is okay.” I guess… That’s all I really have for this one? [/hider] [hider=Rehab.] This one is pretty straightforward. Two people meet while in rehab, be it for drugs, alcohol, maybe something different? Instead of rehab, it could be something like a therapy session? Two people meet in a therapy session for abuse or something? I don’t have anything particularly specific in mind, but I think it could bring some really heartwarming moments. [/hider] [center][b]GENERIC PLOTS[/b][/center][center][i][u]Generic plots can also fit in that “rate M” category.[/u][/i][/center] Medieval Highschool romance? College Romance? Awkward Work Romance? Barista & Frequent Customer I'm also open to a lot of ideas, so you can PM me a variation or something completely different?
