Right, well I’m tired of looking through the forums for pairings and storyline I would be interested in and people that I think would share a similar interest of the story with me. So I have created my own search engine to save time and effort.
A few ground rules. The basics you would expect from anywhere.

[hider=My Spoiler]-Proper grammar, no one is perfect and god knows I screw up a fair amount of times. But if we both make the effort than I am more than happy. 
-if you want to stop, then tell me. If you lose interest then simply tell me, We can either do something to change it, try a different RP or just go our separate ways.  
-Be blunt and straight with me and well get along fine. I'm a big boy I can take it.
-I do MxF for a romance RP. With me as the Male. This is not to say I have not or will not play female rolls. But 9/10 times my main character will be male. I am open to play female side characters as they come along no problem. I am not comfortable with MxM (at least as far as romantic rps go) so don't push that one please. 
- I don't tend to have multiple main characters. I'll play a host of side characters that come and go as the story needs them. And I hope you are willing to do the same. 
-I am willing to take it as far as you are in terms of maturity. With Violence, language and sex. I will also fade to black if you are most comfortable with this. 
-These don’t have to be a romance but some are geared in that direction. others may be platonic.
-Throw twists and turns in with me, why not its always more fun if your not 100% sure whats around the corner. That being said if you see me going in a certain direction with something. Don't just derail me for the hell of it. I'm probably doing it for a reason, I.e add to the setting and story. I will offer the same courtesy to you. If I think you are going in an interesting direction with a specific event, than by all means I wont stop you. I will be rather curious to see where things lead. If we are really confused at what the other is doing, lets just ask each other. 
-Please don't control my character, leave his movements to me, because while sometimes people think they are moving him in a minor way that he would act, in my mind he would act a completely different way. If you do this for me I will extend the same courtesy to you. 
-I aim for average a post once every week from each of us. Unfortunately my current job makes posting more often difficult. Sometimes once a week becomes bi-weekly. i'm not going to get butt-hurt if you use a similar schedule. Believe me I get it. 
-Don't be a Demi-god. Your character must have flaws even if they are a powerful other worldly being, this makes things far more manageable and it wont get boring. Don't make you character ave the skills to do everything well that they come across.

I have a list of specific pairings for each setting, I will post various settings along with some generic pairings that fit into most if not all of these settings. I wont text wall now with the details of each pairing idea but I will post some generic pairings.

Humans and elves are not mortal enemies, but nor have they historically been on fantastic speaking terms. Their relationship since the first time these two races have met, perhaps some thousands of years of history, can be best described as ‘strained’.

There have been wars, skirmishes, disagreements of all kinds and levels of severity. And both races have very ingrained opinions and thoughts about the other.

Not all of that history is negative however as there are multiple examples of peaceful accords, trade agreements and even historical accounts of co-operation, possibly even shared cities. But these never seem to last longer than a few short centuries, the lifespan of an elf. 

A prime example of this mutual dislike is between the predominantly human kingdom state of Coryan and their neighbors, the Sylvanari. A group of elves many humans might commonly refer to as ‘wood elves’. The frequency of disagreement between both kingdoms is almost legendary and can fill its own library wing on the subject. 

But nothing unites rivals quite like a crisis. And it is a crisis indeed that befell the region where these two nations call home. A great and old scourge has come from the south lands, the neighbors immediately in its path were caught completely unawares and the refuges that streamed up from those now shattered kingdoms speak of death and destruction and terrible savagery. 

Now the two bickering nations have been forced into co-operation if only for mutual survival. They have been forced to rely heavily on each other while they beseech any allies and friends they have abroad for any and all help with relief. 

Most armies are still composed entirely of one race, but armies fighting alongside each other has become increasingly common. The crucible of war has had the side effect of planting the seeds for begrudging, but growing respect from both sides. As well as forcing more co-operation and conversation, at least at the officer level. Both sides trying their best to bury, or at least not bring up old grudges and bite their tongues instead of reverting back to habitual slurs and comments they might otherwise throw at each other. 

This is the basic setup for the story I want to play. Between two military officers trying to do their best to stem the tide of invasion and work alongside historically touchy allies. I planned for them to be junior-mid level officers to give them a bit of authority and importance(and reason to interact on a regular basis), but not so high ranking as to remove them from the potential for actual combat and action altogether. Not fresh faced lieutenants, but not generals or lord commanders either. 

I also figure that these characters have probably dealt with each other for a-while now. They know each other, have fought a few battles together and bled a bit and have the scars to show of it. 

So the RP would actually start off with the seeds of our characters eventual affair having already been planted, the spark already lit so to speak. All it needs is time. And in the stress and heat of constant warfare for literal survival, well emotions will explode in funny ways. And few would fault two soldiers who face death on a weekly basis for giving into the moment and working out their stress in non regulation ways. 

Obviously this is a basic outline and there is a lot to be worked out via pm and and some back and forth. In particular the nature of the enemy our character is fighting against needs to be worked out. I have two ideas I posted and honestly... I'm split on which one I prefer. The legion of the dead are classic as is the idea of a necromancer or lich rampage. But I also really like the idea of Draconian forces wreaking havoc and having sprung up straight out of myth and legend after who knows how long. 

Various themes would be our own gradual overcoming of our more casual racism towards each others factions. Which would have already started to mend a little (not completely) as well as a nice build up of our characters attraction towards each other despite (or perhaps because of) the physical and behavior reasons that so often make both races turn their noses up at each other. 

So ya, I have some character ideas posted as well and I am keen on both of them but am open to discussion if you have an image of your own. But the idea of her being an elf is pretty integral to the whole story so that's not really adjustable.

By all means if you have an idea for one of these pairings hit me up. The worst I can say is no. I tend to have at the very least rough if not semi-defined ideas already about most pairings I post in this thread. But I am open to negotiation usually on the specifics. I will probably update this with new pairings and/or settings as my current interests are fulfilled and new ones arrive.


As anyone looking at this thread can probably tell I enjoy browsing and using pinup art. Say what you will but some of those pictures are just great. And they are responsible for at least half of all my plot ideas and inspirations in general.
