[B]~*UPDATE*~[/B]
Kinda craving some fluffy MxM. Also craving lotsa dark stuff with drugs and sex and poor decisions. (Alsoalso everything below still interests me, so, browse away).

Hello and welcome to my search thread! Some of you may recognise my name, as I was around earlier in the year before leaving due to real life issues. I am currently on the lookout for three or four long term roleplay partners! If you're interested, read on!


[b][u]About Me[/u][/b]
I am Malice, I'm a roleplayer hailing from the UK. I've been roleplaying for well over a decade, everything from good ol' one liners on MSN, right the way through to eventually DMing my own D&D games. As of now, I enjoy writing casual to advanced roleplays, depending on the partner and plot. I have a wide range of interests (see below), but prefer to roleplay 18+; this doesn't necessarily mean smut, but I enjoy lots of themes that could be considered Mature (for example, detailed levels of gore, themes of death, etc.) I'd also like to point out, that mature doesn't mean it has to be serious and dark, either; I'd be more than happy to have a comedy romp, but humour, as we all know, has many forms.

As a roleplayer I like to believe I can deliver a variety of characters. I play all genders (including non-binary) and sexualities. I also enjoy doubling (tripling, etc.) in roleplays.

I can probably commit to, minimum, three or four replies a week. More if we live in a similar time zone/have a similar schedule.


[b][u]What I'm looking For[/u][/b]
I'm looking for a roleplayer with a similar level of writing style; high casual to advanced. I'm looking for someone who is willing to help contribute to the plot and world building, and provide me with interesting characters to roleplay against. Ideally, I'd like you to be able to at least play male and female characters, so as I am not limited as to who I have to play; however, while I am willing to bend on this, do not come to me saying 'I want you to play male to my female' because it won't happen. As I said, I like not being limited in my character creation and giving me a specific gender to play is just a restriction I am not interested in. By all means come to me saying you'd like an MxM or FxF romance, but if you want a MxF romance at least give me the option of playin the leading lady. I'd also like someone who is dedicated and looking for a long term commitment.


[b][u]Roleplays[/u][/b]
Let me start my saying I don't really have any set 'pairings' or 'plots' per se. I prefer to have a loose idea that is then worked into something between both myself and a partner. I've had ideas that have been a couple of sentences, that have then developed in to two completely different stories with different partners; I find this is the best way to create a world that both parties are happy with.

[b]Romance[/b] - not necessary for me. That's not to say I am not open to having romance in a plot, but I prefer it to be a secondary point rather than the main. I also prefer romance to evolve between characters organically; too often I've been involved in romance roleplays where everything is so forced because, ultimately, the characters just aren't in to each other!

[b]Comedy[/b] - as much as I love my dark, gritty [i]oh so serious[/i] roleplays (and, trust me, I [i]do[/i]) I also love a light hearted comedy, which seems to be harder to come by in roleplay partners. By comedies, think Terry Pratchett type humour, or even a zombie apocalypse à la [i]Sean of the Dead[/i].

[b]Genres[/b] - I really do love a little bit of everything. I almost always prefer at least some element of fantasy in my roleplays; I already live in the real world, so I prefer my roleplays to take me somewhere else! However, this can be high fantasy, Victoriana or even urban fantasy (not exclusive). I also [i]adore[/i] cyberpunk; I will love you until the end of days if we can come up with an excellent cyberpunk world to roleplay in (it happens so rarely). 

[b]Fandoms[/b] - I don't really do fandom roleplays. I just don't follow the same fandoms as most other people, so I just do not know the worlds well enough to really be able to roleplay them confidently. And the fandoms I follow very rarely crop up in people's interests! As it happens, if you happen to be a fan of either [i]Devil May Cry[/i] or [i]The Arcana[/i], I may, [i]may[/i] be persuaded. But don't hold your breath; I'm still not entirely certain I want to do either, but hey, you can try to win me over. (Addendum: if you even get halfway to whispering 'The Edge Chronicles' then there will be zero hesitation in a resounding 'abso-fucking-lutely'.)

[b]18+[/b] - As I said, I enjoy bringing in mature themes in to my roleplays; this can be heavy 18+ or even just 'pretty PG but all the characters swear like sailors and sometimes make inappropriate jokes'. I should like to mention that, due to my previous line of work, I have developed a gallows humour, so be aware of that. I am happy for detailed depictions of gore and horror. You should also be aware that I have characters (but this is [i]not[/i] all of them; I have several with pretty happy backgrounds) who have histories of abuse, self harm, drug problems, violent tendencies, etc. However, if I'm thinking of using one of these characters I [i]will[/i] let you know before hand and, if you are at all uncomfortable with it, I will either edit the character or write up a new one. Just because I'm happy to have these things, doesn't mean you are, or should you have to be. I want my partners to feel comfortable and the last thing I want to do is make you roleplay opposite a character that you're not okay with!

[b]Plot Ideas[/b] - these are very open ended and I have no set ideas for which role either of us play. Romance is possible in all, but also not necessary in any. I would be more than willing to double for any of these plots if that takes your fancy!

[hider=Until Death]
[i]Dark urban fantasy[/i]
What happens when you wake up in a place you have never seen before with no recollection of how you got there? What happens when you realise you have died and you are in purgatory; your goal here is to somehow journey this plane, finding the answer to the questions that troubled you when you were alive. You will have to literally fight your demons if you ever want to move on.

Potential character ideas: recently dead, reaper/guide
[/hider]


[hider=When Darkness Reigns]
[i]Fantasy, Steampunk-esque distopia with Supernatural beings[/i]
In an alternative reality, many creatures lurked in the night, hiding in the shadows. Two hundred years ago, the vampires formed an uprising and became the dominant race. Huge domes were erected over cities to create an eternal night, while humans were enslaved and farmed for food. But there is disrest in the capital. Humans are unhappy with their vampire overlords and an underground rebellion is forming. But what happens when a rebel comes in close contact with one of the most politically powerful vampires?

Potential characters: vampires, rebels, non-vampire super-naturals (e.g., werewolves, ghosts), which can be working with or against the vampires

Note: for me, vampires are monsters and this is how I expect them to be portrayed in this plot idea. No sparkles, yo.
[/hider]


[hider=What Lurks in the Shadows]
[i]Fantasy, medieval/Victorian, supernatural creatures[/i]
There was a monster in the village, they were sure of it. Something was killing the livestock, then the villagers. One person was suspected and the village made the decision to hang them. Unfortunately, the village was only half right; the villager was [i]a[/i] monster, but not [i]the[/i] monster. As the date is set for capital punishment, disaster strikes the village, sending the whole place up in flames. The disaster leaves the monster villager stranded with one of their most dogged persecutors. The two must form an unlikely alliance in an attempt to stay alive in this depraved world.

[hider=The Demon Within]
[i]Gritty, dark urban fantasy, demons and angels[/i]
What happens when you come across an old friend who you could have sworn had died years ago? What happens when you find out that said friend is possessed by a demonic entity, hiding out in human bodies so as to evade being caught by angels, in response to having tried (and failed) to lead a rebellion against God?
[/hider]


[hider=Down in the Underground]
[i]Dark, dystopian, cyberpunk[/i]

Based on an old novel concept that died a death; one fan said it felt like a 'modern Frankenstein'.
The year is 2087 and technology has progressed far, particularly in human augmentation. Predominantly, cybernetics are restricted for the army or the powerful, but if you delve into the dark net, you will find a community of bio hackers. Here, disgraced surgeons and home-grown 'body artists' produce pioneering modifications for anyone willing to pay; but these mods are not always safe. Most of these unauthorised modifcations find themselves used by criminals, hackers and underground fighting and so on. There is one person who seems to be at the top of this, producing the wildest modifications. What happens when the police are sent to investigate and uncover the identity of this black market artist?
[/hider]


[hider=Who Am I?]
Less of an actual plot and more of a concept that could be interesting to play out (or it could be a complete disaster). You have probably heard of DID (previously multiple personality disorder); hell, you might even have characters with this trait. So here's the kicker; what happens when two writers (i.e., us) write for different personalities of one person?

For this, we would likely need to have other characters on the side, but the main idea is having us both control two (or more) personalities of one person. The plot surrounding this could literally be anything.

As I said, this could either being interesting or fun, or a bonfire waiting to happen.

[hider=In the Spirit of Dreams]
[i]Fantasy/Urban Fantasy, Supernatural[/i]
This plot is based on a dream I had, so its pretty fuzzy and definitely open to further input/development from my partner!

In this world there are certain benevolent 'spirits' that help keep the world safe; they are extremely powerful, but also extremely vulnerable and rare (there are, perhaps, only a handful of these spirits in the world). Each spirit has a human (or humanoid) guide, who cares for and protects it as it grows into its fully fledged form. Lyra is one such human; she belongs to a nomadic tribe and both of her parents were spirit keepers also. However, her parents were killed in an accident (I mean, they were mauled by wolves, which makes no sense given these spirits shoulda kept them safe, but dream logic) and so now she is alone in the world, trying to navigate it while keeping both herself and her spirit safe. There are people in this world who want to capture the spirits and/or their keepers, so that they can bend them to their will, and use them for malevolent purposes.

During her travels, Lyra comes across an orphaned boy in the forest (a Mowgli type character), who rescues her from a monster and helps teach her how to live in the forest, and a friendship blossoms. The boy then helps Lyra get her spirit to the far north so that it can evolve into its true form.

Yes, I have oddly detailed dreams. So, the world felt very 'Avatar' esque, although there were also scenes set in the real world, so I'd be up for adapting this to be wholly fantasy or more urban fantasy. I think I'd like something where Lyra and the boy (or girl, any gender really, your choice) meet and then travel this world trying to protect themselves from the dangers (either people after Lyra and/or the general  dangers of being two young people orphaned in the world). If there is another role you'd like to play or any alterations to the vague plot I have, feel free to message me! I'd love to develop this into something bigger!
[/hider]



I realise my list of roleplay ideas is a bit open ended, so it may be difficult to really see what sort of direction we might go together, but I will try to update it with more specific ideas as and when I have them. Feel free to suggest your own plot(s) to me, whether they are vague or fully fledged! I am open to most things!


As for where and how, I'd prefer to interact over this forum (threads or PMs), but if that's a real no go we can discuss whether there is an alternative that we would both be happy with.

If this has interested you and you feel like we would be compatible roleplay partners, drop me a PM! Thank you for taking the time to check it out and I look forward to hearing from you!
