Hii I'm MintRolls (or Mint), welcome to my shiny new 1x1 search thread. Feel free to send me a message if anything piques your interest! To be upfront, I mainly roleplay MxM and FxF pairings - however, I am willing to roleplay MxF (if noted by one of my plot ideas) and I will only roleplay with other adults. Additionally, I am not interested in erp. I don't mind a [i]little[/i] smut, but prefer to 'fade to black' more often than not. I like to explore an interesting plot and developing our characters and their relationship. I don't have huge literacy requirements, just that you can write at least two or three paragraphs per post, and have good grammar/spelling. No text-speak, absolutely no AI. I love to discuss plot ideas and moments OOC, but I am not particularly talkative, so please don't take short responses for disinterest! I only use realistic face claims or a written description for characters, so I would ask that you do as well. Please note that I am in the UK, so please do not use Imgur because I won't be able to see your images (because it's banned in the UK). With that out of the way, I have a few plot ideas in mind. [hider=1. The Betrothal] Muse A is the prince of a rich, industrial kingdom, with an impressive mining system, but is gloomy and joyless. Muse B is heir/high ranking noble/peasant of a bright, verdant kingdom, that thrives with forests and greenery. For whatever reason - result of a peace treaty after a war, strengthening kingdom relations, anything we can come up with - the two have been betrothed to one another. To perhaps no surprise, neither party is particularly happy about the arrangement, and their first meeting in a neutral host kingdom is tense. However, over time, as they visit each other's kingdoms and gain an understanding of one another, they begin to oddly find themselves growing closer. Perhaps they stumble upon/discover a deeper plot that will make them choose sides and that they work to prevent it. I would like to play Muse A. MxM or MxF. [/hider] [hider=2. Regency Romance] A Bridgerton-style plot that has some creative license taken in terms of historical accuracy. Muse A is the only daughter of a Baron & Baroness, making her debut for the season - if, perhaps, two or three years later than would be usual - and is known to be vibrant, more extraverted, than what would be expected of young ladies of society. Perhaps the reason of a delayed debut, is the hushed gossip. Muse B is the eldest child of a Duke & Duchess, and very much the opposite of Muse A. Though Muse B has been a participant of the marriage mart since they were of age, the interest in them was only just because of their money. This year, however, Muse B has been threatened to have their title taken from them if they do not marry by the end of the season. So begins the search. Naturally, Muse A and Muse B meet during the first ball of the season. And although they couldn't be any more different, the spark between them is undeniable. I would like to play Muse A. FxF or FxM. [/hider] [hider=3. Time Agents/Travellers] Time Agents work for an agency that ensure time travellers don't alter or change the past irreparably. Around certain historical events, 'time bubbles' are set up so that anyone who attempts to travel into that moment - certainly without prior authorisation - are transported into a white space, to be apprehended by Time Agents. Muse A is one of these Time Agents. The classic uptight, excellent at their job and no-nonsense. Muse B, on the other hand, is a Time Traveller that consistently ignores (or 'forgets') instructions and gets themselves trapped in time bubbles. They are able to reason themselves out of serious trouble and so aren't stripped of their time travel privileges and sent back to their own time. It gets to the point Muse A is expecting Muse B to be trapped in a time bubble, and perhaps Muse B is deliberately getting themselves caught just to see Muse A. Perhaps the two end up teaming up against an antagonist that is trying to break the timeline and keeps escaping the time bubbles. I would like to play Muse A. FxF or MxM. [/hider] [hider=4. The Tavern] Muse A is the captain of a ship, sailing and travelling the world, hunting for treasure and finding adventure, always returning to Saltlook, a well known town that pirates and sailors alike tend to dock, to socialise, rest and trade. Muse B owns one of the taverns in Saltlook. The only tavern that Muse A will visit, bringing with them stories to share - and often a gift for Muse B. The two are good friends, but perhaps there's something a little more there between them... everyone else around them seems to see it, while both Muse A and Muse B are entirely oblivious. After all, Muse A probably has plenty of other, more interesting options while travelling. And surely Muse B wouldn't be interested in someone that won't be settling down in one place any time soon. A story that can be taken in a few different directions. Keep it light and fluffy with two dumbasses that don't realise the other is, in fact, also in love with them, or we can work out a deeper plot, such as a mystery or attack on Saltlook that forces the two to flee? I would like to play Muse A. FxF or MxM. Maybe FxM (but flip the trope, with F being Muse A/The Pirate Captain and M being Muse B/The Tavern Owner). [/hider] I also have several general tropes/ideas if any of these spark a new plot idea: - Heist Crew/Opposing Crime Groups (perhaps facing a common enemy that forces them to work together?) - Bodyguard x Charge (the former hired to protect the latter, who is famous and has been threatened by an unknown person). - Investigators (they are drawn to the same place to investigate some strange happening and have to work together to figure out what is going on). - Vampires (a modern vampire and a traditional vampire, perhaps. Or a human that gets caught up in the mystery of an intriguing stranger. Or a classic vampire and werewolf that are in opposing/feuding groups). - City x Country (a city guy/gal ends up in a small town for one reason or another, for work, visiting family, etc. and meets local beloved ranch owner. You get the idea). - Rock band (two members of the same band, rival bands, band member and journalist). - Basically anything that might force two characters to have to interact and work together, bonus points if they are enemies/rivals to start with. - Mystery/Thriller/Horror vibes are also good, though not necessarily a must. Imminent danger and a sprinkle of angst are always fun though.
