Though likely impossible to find, I am seeking someone to play Zelgadis from Slayers for an OC x Canon Roleplay. [b]Note: [/b]I'll be playing characters from the show as well for story purposes (you can also play other characters from it as well if you choose--though assistance is always adored). [b]Here are a few things to know: [/b] [i][b]First of all,[/b][/i] the 18+ rating is not for 'adult sexy time content'. Not to say some things won't be detailed if described, but it is more for the realism of other content. Battles, abuse, nudity, etc. So, this isn't just meant to be some weird "Oh, I just want to fuck him" type of pairing. [i]Sorry to burst your bubble, Rain! P.S. Rain is my friend, and he and I joked about this yesterday![/i] [b]Secondly,[/b] this can be based after Evolution-R (assuming you've seen it). Basically, Zelgadis is off on his own again per the usual. [b]Thirdly,[/b] my partners should be 18+. I prefer male partners playing males, but if you're a female, feel free to convince me you'd make a good partner. :3 [b]Fourthly,[/b] I try to write in the high-casual to advance+ zone. Basically, give what's needed, more if you can, but not endless fluff. Also, limited errors in spelling, punctuation, and grammar. It happens. We all make mistakes. However, one every sentence is not pleasurable to read. [b]So, here is the general plot:[/b] [hider=Click here for plot][i] After leaving his friends behind, per his usual habit, Zelgadis finds that he has all but covered the entire land that surrounds him. To his dismay, he's no closer to finding a cure to change him back to the human he once was. Seeing no other option, he decides it's time to cross the seas to adventure across new lands, which leads him to a port by the ocean. Due to his arrival time, he cannot get on a ship that day but can come morning, leaving him enough time to contemplate which land he will travel to. While standing on the dock during a misty night, he watches as a ship departs. On the deck, he notices a woman who appears to be singing to herself. He finds himself entranced by this, watching and listening until the boat disappears into the mist. Upon overhearing that the ship has left for the land of Valence, he decides that will be his next stop. The travel takes a month and then a month is spent venturing, searching the land for any sources to a cure. In the back of his head, he often finds himself wondering where the woman he'd seen on the boat had gone. While in a small town in the desert, he is told of a tomb that holds an old spell book, so he heads off to see if it might contain what he seeks. Unfortunately, once deep inside, he is ambushed and struck with a poisonous (magical) blade. Though he keeps fighting, he knows he won't be able to escape due to the numbers and the poison weakening his body. Out of nowhere, a second figure appears to help and he is shocked to see the very woman from the boat. Using magic, she is able to push back the enemy, but he succumbs to the poison before the two can speak. The last thing he remembers is the woman attempting to help him. Help she did, for he awakens, healed, in the bed of a busy tavern. Upon going downstairs, he is quickly accosted by the majority and he grows agitated. Before aggressions can get out of hand, the woman from the boat emerges from the crowd and vouches on his behalf, which gives him the freedom to stay. Though she tries to chat with him, people continue to drag her off to dance or speak. From what he can tell, she is a kind woman and her beauty does her no good as it leads many to vie for her attention. When she finally escapes and the two leave the tavern, the two speak. He learns that she is in Valence because she was invited to a festival in the main city of the kingdom. When asked what he will do now that he is in this land, he explains he'll look for work to afford his travels while he looks for a specific spell. In response, she tells him she knows of someone who is seeking hired help. In his mind, he believes this is her way of trying to send him away. Due to how the majority treat him for his appearance, he couldn't fathom her wanting anything to do with him, even if blind. Imagine his shock when she extends her hands and offers him a position as her bodyguard while she travels to the Kingdom of Valence. Their travels go well and, despite a few instances of violence, there is nothing too surprising. The only issue he finds is that the longer he is around the woman, the more he finds himself drawn to her. The fear of rejection and many other concerns keep him from saying anything. Due to her personality being so kind to everyone they meet, he is unable to tell what she is thinking. All he knows is that she calls him her 'friend'. In Valence, he meets old friends of hers and is able to explore the city on his own while she helps prepare for the festival. The festival starts without incident and he finds that Amelia, Lina, and Gourry have also come to the celebration because of Amelia's royal ties to the Valence Kingdom. It's not until another face he recognizes appears that he can feel a clear unease in the crowd. Xellos is immediately targeted by the royal couple of Valence, reminding him that he is not welcomed in the city. Though he addresses the fact, he is clearly focused on the woman Zelgadis has been hired to protect. Xellos promises to not cause trouble during the festival if they let him stay, and though the royal couple are not inclined to allow it, they do if only to keep havoc from breaking out. As the day goes on, Zelgadis realizes that Xellos and his new friend know one another and do not seem to be on good terms. When Zelgadis intervenes when he feels tension rising between them, Xellos seems to realize that Zel is protecting her for more than just the money that is being offered to him as a guard. Once she is out of earshot, Xellos quietly warns Zelgadis that he is safer not getting involved in their personal matters. He makes it clear that he is not against killing anyone who attempts to stand between them. [/i][/hider] If interested, PM me or message me on Discord: UndeadEyes#8754 Thanks. <3
