Welcome!
I'll try and be as brief as possible to allow for suggestions from those who are interested in this clearly-been-done-before premise.
This RP will be loosely based on the Supernatural theme. Two ghost/monster hunters in the modern world. That said, I'm looking for something gritty; real to life characters, no superpowers besides that of plausible abilities like that of clairvoyance or other psychic talents, etc. Still, whatever abilities might be chosen, in the end I really want them to feel plausible and realistic. To be OP in this matter would, in my view, remove a lot of the suspense and fun.
My Character: Will be a man, maybe in his twenties to early thirties, who suffered a tragic loss at the hands of a supernatural entity some years ago. He will be given to drink and less than standard practice in the hunt for the entity that supposedly killed his loved ones. Sure, he sounds a little cliche ahem, but i'm going for it anyway XD
Your Character: Must be human, of course. I'll be looking for an attractive female character to play alongside, preferably one played by a female for the sake of authentic feminine reactions. But if you're a guy and believe you can play the role just as well, then don't be afraid to stick your hand up. Your character will be my characters partner in this sordid hunt for the supernatural, and in time they will likely become more than just friends and colleagues (hence the romance tag). Other NPC's (for lack of better reference) can also be introduced, but we can cross that bridge when we get there. Aside from all that, I really want a character that feels real and down to earth to keep the gritty feel. Heads up, I'm probably gonna be a little fussy with applicants.
Other things to note:
-Try and steer away from anime and other cartoon-like images with your character. real-to-life images are preferred. But please, OC characters only. Imagination is essential in this RP.
-I'll be the GM, obviously, but when playing 1X1 I like to stand on a relatively even ground with my partner. I'm not complaining if you want to bring about scenarios of your own. In fact, I welcome that sort of initiative. Things are more interesting and fun that way. The only thing I ask, which might seem ironic considering the topic, is that the ideas are plausible and feel believable to our world and what we think we know. Of course, crossing the line is also welcome when it's done right, but that can be said about anything.
-I was also considering the possibility of a small group, rather than a 1X1, but I'll keep it as a 1X1 unless, or until, more than one potential candidate expresses their seriously attractive interest.
-Posting intervals.. well, this is a thing. I'd prefer that replies are made fairly frequently, anywhere from 1 to 3 days. but I mean... RL can hold us back at times so I'm not too concerned about a casual pace. Ultimately I don't want my partner to feel pressured into posting. "OH HELL I'VE GOTTA GET A POST OUT TODAY BEFORE HOKUM GIVES HIMSELF AN ANEURYSM!" Pls no.... As long as you're serious about joining and don't have any plans to abandon my sorry ass, then I'm good. Just have fun!
-Posting length should be more than just a few sentences. Like, efforts are appreciated. I'm not saying I want an advanced post every time, that definitely isn't necessary, but one or two or more decent paragraphs would be nice. Hey, quality beats quantity any day of the week. I'm not a grammar Nazi either, naturally mistakes are bound to be made. But that said, I'd prefer my partner to take a bit of care in their work.
-I guess I should also mention that this RP will be taking place via the open forum, not via PM. Lately, I've been finding less and less reason to hide or keep RP's a secret. Let others enjoy the read if they want to.
-You can contact me with question here or via pm, though.
Alright, I'm done for now. Look'n forward to hearing from you!
...That wasn't quite as brief as I was hoping for.
