Bonjour! Welcome to my interest check! I have a specific premise that I'd like to try right now, so go on and take a gander! The idea is not very fleshed out as of yet, the title pretty much says it all. This could be MxM or MxF. [hider=About Me] - My style is novel-ish, and my post length can vary from a few paragraphs to a couple of pages, depending on the flow and what you give back. I rarely post less then 4-5 paragraphs but I love to write more whenever possible! - PMs please :3 - Also, I'm big on OOC chat. I like to plot and get all excited with you and geek out over the story! Let's be friends? :D - If we're keeping up an OOC chat, I'll tell you if I'm having trouble responding or losing interest. If you don't keep up with me OOC, I might say something if I'm struggling, but it's awkward if we don't have rapport. - I want lots of drama between the characters, and prefer darker themes and elements. - I play male characters, but I'm open to pairing with any gender. - Please send a writing sample when you PM, so that we can tell if our writing styles will mesh! It's so disappointing to plot and get hype, only for the fledgling RP to die if our writing styles aren't a good fit. I'll provide a writing sample in return, if you want, just let me know! [/hider] On to the good stuff! [hider=Plot ideas within] YC is an aristocrat from a noble family who is disenchanted with their charmed life of idle wealth. Innocent, and pure, likely the youngest child, YC has been sheltered from the world. One of YC's greatest joys in life is the escapism of seeing shows at the theater. MC is an actor and playwright-- brilliantly talented but broke, troubled, and living a life of jaded debauchery. MC writes a play that makes it to one of the more prestigious playhouses. MC gives the performance of his life and meets with accolades and a standing ovation. YC sees said performance, and loves it so much, they want to meet him afterward. YC sees the actors misbehaving backstage and is further intrigued by MC's lifestyle. YC starts coming around the playhouse more often and gets sucked in to the sordid life of the struggling playwright. MC delights in "corrupting" YC in every imaginable way. Eventually, YC comes to find out that MC has an opium addiction, which started after MC came home from fighting in the Napoleonic Wars. (This could take place in either England or France-- take your pick.) The two start to fall for each other, and the relationship is turbulent. Culture clashes, social pressures, and heated arguments threaten to tear them apart. Their love is so strong that it seems to withstand anything-- at first. But will YC be able to withstand the pressure from their family to abandon her sordid affair? Will YC get sick of watching MC self-destruct? Or perhaps their love will last until MC's addiction gets the better of him? I would love for this be quite a dark and intense RP. I'm open to adjusting the plot, although I'm pretty dead-set on playing the troubled opium addict veteran lmao. [/hider] Well, that's all for now. Please send me a PM with a writing sample if you're interested!
