What's up, everyone? First time posting an Interest Check here, so bear with me as I get a little eager to dive right into the story itself. I'll start out by saying I'm not new to the world of RP at all. I'm 21+ and have been at it for at least 10 years. I started out in group settings, and eventually migrated over to 1x1s, because I really enjoy the idea of working directly with a partner to build a legitimate, well-rounded story. That being said, I'm currently looking for one or two more RPs at the moment. There's one idea that's been floating around in my head for awhile. Again, I'm more than happy to build ideas together, so please don't think any of this plot is set in stone. If you have things you'd like to add to it, other parts you don't like, etc., let me know! It's our story, after all. Also, please don't take this quick summary as an indicator of my writing. I'll typically give anywhere from 5-6 paragraphs, and in many cases much more. But, like I said, I get eager when it comes to fleshing out a new story. With that in mind, take a look: [hider=Crime and Punishment] The basis of this story would reflect around two police partners who have been working together for a year or two. They're both relatively young (mid-twenties?) and graduated from the same academy, etc. Because of the nature of their work and the high crime rate of the city they're in (I'm thinking a lot of gang-related violence, drugs, etc.), they've grown extremely close. On the surface, some people would see it as a brother/sister sort of relationship. But he doesn't see it that way. In fact, he's had feelings for her since the day they started working together. With everything they've been through, those feelings have only grown. But, he's never lead on to them for three reasons: 1. It's against the rules 2. He doesn't want to ruin their friendship 3. She's definitely married That's not where the drama ends. Actually, it's only where it begins. The kicker here is that she's in an abusive relationship with her husband, and no one knows about it. She's a tough cop, but when it comes to her marriage she keeps the violence and abuse hidden. Obviously, this could go a lot of different ways and a lot of things could happen throughout. Some initial ideas that come to mind include things like one of them getting shot, lots of dangerous situations in the field, him discovering a bruise on her one day and becoming suspicious, him confronting her husband one day after finding out, etc. [/hider] I know that's a pretty basic summary, but I'd like to build on this with someone. I guess I should lay out a few ground rules so you don't waste your time messaging me if we're not a good fit. Please be at least 18. This RP will undoubtedly contain a lot of mature themes. If you say you're an 'advanced' level writer, be able to give me more than a paragraph. Not trying to be pretentious here at all, but I envision this as a gritty and detailed story, and would love to find someone willing to put work into those details and let the characters build relationships and grow. I think that's it for now. Don't be afraid to shoot me a message - I'm a pretty easygoing guy! Thanks for checking in!
