Hey,
My name's Cas. I'm seeking a partner for my Medieval plot, 'The Lesser Key of Solomon'.
The themes are as follows:
• Medieval-Witchcraft.
• Forbidden love, corruption, an unlikely romance.
• Horror elements.
• Elements of 'whodunnit?'
Synopsis:
Two members of the Inquisition are called to the town of Penbrook to investigate sightings of a witch. During their research, they uncover a couple dead bodies, a cult presence, and a village full of brooding townspeople. Will they be able to find the witch, and when they do, will they be able to stop her...?
My plan for this role-play is for it to be very linear, in the sense that we don't encounter the witch until the penultimate scene. She's a shapeshifting, possessed, heretical demon, quite literally evil incarnate; and that will fuel a lot of the 'ambience' of the town. Our characters will unearth strange grimoires. There will be rituals happening late at night with possessed townsfolk. Animals will roam the streets. It will be hallucinogenic, illusory, almost surreal; as if our characters stepped into a different world, and when the role-play ends, only then will they 'escape'.
My character:
I plan to play Caspian. A bull-headed initiate. He will be overconfident, arrogant, and controlling. In his mind, the evil can be stopped with force alone. He treats the peasantry callously (in the sense of interrogating them 'for the greater good') and isn't afraid to throw his weight around. By the story's end, he will learn compassion, and that he can't brute-force his way through everything.
To contrast this, I would love if you played a complimentary personality. Someone softer, more reasonable, but perhaps just as emotionally charged. In my mind--this character would be a nun/priestess/princess/etc sent to assist Caspian in his investigation. That said, if you are inspired and can come up with something better, please, feel free to suggest your own ideas!
Requirements:
• 2-3 paragraphs, detailed posts.
• Regular posting schedule (i.e. Not irregular, once per week, or graveyard hours).
• Your own flair, style, or method of bringing things to the table. My strength is in narration. My characterisation is average. My plots are thin and pulpy. I fucking rock at writing dialogue.
• Be over 25+. I'm in my thirties. The age gap can be surreal, especially when paired with the fact I'm British. In my experience, my role-plays always last a lot longer when I'm paired with Europeans. The cross-continental language barrier is a toughie.
Thanks all,
- Casper
