Hoping to establish one or two more roleplay partners (exact number depending on how in-depth the plots are and how fast responses are). I won't waste your time with a ton of text (yet) so here are the general parameters: - I am open to using Discord instead of the forums, but this is by no means a requirement. - I tend to roleplay casual to advanced -- I'll give back what you give me (usually) so I'm dynamic within that range, but I will not write a novel. - I am open to just about any genre other than school settings & plain romance/slice of life. Gotta give me at least a little mystery/action/politics/horror/something in there. - I am fine with romance being an [i]element[/i] of the roleplay, but I prefer it to be dynamic. Not all characters have chemistry. - In the romance department, I prefer to do MxM. Depending on the character, I might be open to other pairings if they develop naturally, but I will never [i]plan[/i] for it. - Any smut, though, has got to be MxM, sorry. But I am fine with fade to black. - I will not do abuse plots: I will not play (main) characters who are abusive, and I will not play with characters who are abusive towards mine. I may be okay with it being an element of the story (such as in backstory or from side characters) but we should discuss it first. - I [i]prefer[/i] to play non-humans, but it's not a requirement. - I do prefer to work out at least the general elements of the plot beforehand: I need to have a decent idea of what our expectations are and what kind of themes we're intending to pursue, as well as to have a solid, if broad, idea of the setting. - While I will generally try to reply at least a couple times a day (depending on your response rate -- slow is fine) but I may occasionally vanish for a day or two. I will try to keep you posted if it's going to be a bit, but sometimes I'm just busy and distracted, or don't feel well. Sorry. Now that that's out of the way: Content. I'm open to suggestions, so if you already have something in mind based on the above parameters, feel free to suggest it. If not, here are [i]very[/i] general ideas of my own. [hider=Hidden in Plain Sight -- Fantasy/Politics/Maybe some comedy] Conflict in a kingdom leads the king and queen to send their only heir into hiding for their safety until the danger is passed. The prince/princess is thus sent off to a far corner of the kingdom to live in disguise, with one of the few people that the monarchy can both trust, and who won't be suspected of working for them. The pampered heir has to get by living as a peasant without giving away their identity, and, well, the other person has to put up with them. --- The nature of the conflict, the details of the setting, and the dynamic between the characters are all pretty variable. I'm open to being on either side of the equation. [/hider] [hider=A Selkie for a... Husband? -- Fantasy/Modern/Comedy] Someone has requested this plot! That said, I may [i]consider[/i] duplicates. Everyone, of course, knows the legend that if you find the shed coat of a selkie while they are walking on land as a human, they will marry you. For one reason or another you set out to do just that -- or happen across a shed coat and take your chances with taking a seal for a wife. Unfortunately, the stories about beautiful women from the sea forgot to account for the fact that seals can be male too, so you've now found yourself with a reluctant seal [i]husband[/i], and he's not happy about it. --- Doesn't actually have to be seals, could be swans or foxes or any of those other similar marry-a-magical-animal-in-the-form-of-a-beautiful-woman tropes. Really meant more for humor of it; maybe the characters will fall in love by the end, maybe it'll just be a comedy of errors. I would prefer to not be the human. ------ Plot twist if somehow both of them are chaotic magical creatures. [/hider] [hider=Establishing Dominance -- Modern/Supernatural/Comedy] [b]Establishing Dominance[/b]: Your new neighborhood seems perfect, except for one tiny problem: your next-door neighbor is [i]also[/i] a werewolf/vampire/something to that effect, and furthermore, your species is [i]territorial[/i]. This won't do at all -- but we're passed the days of blatantly murdering each other over territory. We're civilized creatures now, or at the very least, forensics has become far too advanced and you really don't feel like faking your death again. So instead, you and your new neighbor set about trying to inconvenience each other at every turn -- if you can't get 'em with claws, maybe persistent HOA complaints will do. --- Probably best set in a snooty suburban neighborhood imo. Character dynamics could be literally anything, maybe they'll be stuck always sabotaging each other's lawn mowers, maybe they'll fall in love, maybe they'll just become friends and open a taco truck together, who knows. It's basically a sitcom. Honestly, could be opposing families/clans rather than individuals, but doesn't have to be. [/hider] [hider=A Hostage Situation -- Supernatural/Fantasy/Modern/Horror?] [b]A Hostage Situation[/b]: You are a demon hunter. There's a particularly nasty demonic cult you've been following for quite some time, and you've finally managed to track them to their hideout. Through some series of events, you accidentally free the Big Boss Demon they've been worshiping -- and are surprised when he kills the lesser demons, frees the sacrifices, and lets you live. Turns out he hates the other demons just as much as you do. --- Actually a particular character of mine with some substantial backstory that I'm sure he would be not be ornery at all in [s]complaining to you[/s] telling you about. However, the setting itself (modern, historical, fantasy, etc.) is pretty variable, as is your character's part in the story. Literally all I know about the setting is there's demons, so you can be whatever kind of badass you want, really. ------ Depending on whether you're into it or not, this one can get gory. [/hider]
