Ersa's Half-Baked Ideas

[Ersa93]

I’m Ersa and this is my 1X1 search thread. Expect this post to be updated in the future.

About me:
She/Her
Age: Over 21
I work a full-time job, so replies will be slow and sparse.
I do have a discord available for planning/rping if you prefer to do it there. Just message me for the name and please note that I’m not good at OOC chatting if it doesn’t relate to the rp, so I apologize ahead of time.

Type of player:
I enjoy character development, a little bit of world-building, and deep character interaction. The plot and setting can be pretty basic as long as the characters are interesting. I don’t mind combat either, as long as that’s not all that’s going on in the thread.
Genres I mostly play in are fantasy, sci-fi, and superhero.
I don’t have time for novella-length threads, so anywhere to 1-4 paragraphs is fine as long as I have something to work with and I’ll do my best to match your length.

My ideal partner:
IRL Age: 18+ (not going to be writing smut or hard mature themes, this is just for comfort reasons)
Willing to collaborate on characters, plot, setting, etc. We don’t have to do deep worldbuilding, but a little something be in the background is preferred
Rules:
Please be patient
No ERP or anything overly gory.
I keep things platonic between characters, no romance (at least not between our characters)
Keep things PG-13.
Please tell me if you want to end an rp. I won’t ask questions or bug you about it.

Characters I have made so far can be found here: https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/191407-ersas-sacred-texts/ooc

Plots:

Please note that even though I might be partnered on some of these, I have no qualms with using the characters and scenarios with different variations. And also if you have a desire to turn it into a small group rp, that's up for discussion too. And if you see a character you're interested in but don't want the plot, an alternative plot can be discussed. Anything with a strike through is a thread I'm not looking to do at the moment but don't want to necessarily take off my list.

I Wore the Wrong Shoes for This (sci-fi):

Partnered

When a passenger ship is attacked and passengers are forced to evacuate to escape pods, somehow Allison Visia (my character) ends up by herself on one of the pods and a piece of shrapnel hits her pod, sending it off course. She survives but has no clue where she is or where any of the other passengers or pods are. After wandering around for a bit, she finds a pilot (your character), who has likewise been downed. Now the two must work together to either find the rest of the group, a working beacon to call for help, or something to get them off-planet. Then there’s the matter of who attacked the passenger ship in the first place. Chances are they’re on the planet too…

A Simple Job (fantasy):

Partnered

Elle (my character) wasn’t 100% sure it was a good idea when a royal (your character) wanted to hire her to help guide them into a neighboring kingdom through an unconventional route, but the money seemed good enough and she knew the route well. But once their destination is in sight, Elle has a sinking feeling that it’s going to be a while before she can go back home, despite promises.

I’m not a Doctor (superhero):

Open

Jason Castillo (my character) is an EMT first and a superpowered person second. Oftentimes, that means he’s right behind the heroes, helping evacuate or treating anyone who may have been caught up in the crossfire or initial villain attack. He stumbles upon your character (can be hero, civilian, or villain), who is hurt and in need of help. Things spiral from there as complications arise.

Road Trip! (Transformers, based in no particular universe):

Open

Thanks to a Space Bridge malfunction, an Autobot (your character, can be an oc or canon one) is stranded on the other side of the US from the Autobot base and stuck in vehicle mode. They must drive back under radio silence since there's suspicion that the Cons are hacking their comms. But won't it draw attention if someone sees a car driving itself? They have their holoform, but it would take up too much energy to maintain the whole back. Fortunately, they find a human (my character) stranded on the side of the road and offer her a ride. They just don't tell her that their destination is on the other side of the country. What shenanigans will they get up to and what adventures will they have?

A Family Affair (Sci-fi, but more as a backdrop than a focus, mostly family dynamics):

Open

Charlie Simmons's (my character) life hasn't been the best lately. His wife died unexpectedly very recently and he has a young daughter to take care of while grieving. As if all that emotional toil wasn't enough, there's a war going on that the planet he lives on is embroiled in. While the planet itself hasn't been attacked, there's a worry that it could change at any moment.

Oh, and his older brother (your character) who died in jail seven years ago just showed up on his front door step. And is a mercenary currently working for the other side. And is saying that Charlie and his kid are coming with him one way or another.

Lovely.

Time Waits for no Dark Lord (fantasy, probably with a humor bent, but could probably be played seriously):

Open

1000 years have passed and the seal on the Dark Lord has weakened enough for them to break free. Now, they can once again conquer the land, revenge themselves on the descendants of the ones who sealed them, and other Dark Lord things.

But a lot can change in a thousand years. The kingdom they attempted to conquer has long since split up and the off-shoots don't even speak the same language anymore. Fine, ruling a kingdom is boring anyway. There's always revenge.

Oh, the bloodline of that person ended centuries ago. And a whole nation claims to be the descendent of this one person. No one knows what happened to this bloodline.

Well, maybe that just means there's no one to stand against them any longer. Maybe they'll just spend their time terrorizing the inhabitants. Surely despite all the time that's passed, they whisper stories about the dread dark lord, as if the mere mention of their name would summon them.

But no, they've been relegated to fairy tales and children's stories, and not even children find them that scary. There is someone the inhabitants fear, but it's a mere mortal who's decided they want an empire.

What's a Dark Lord to do? Well first, they need an underling. Maybe they can brainstorm something together.

(I can play either the Dark Lord or the underling and the underling can either be a willing recruit or not).

Weird Pokemon idea:

Open

Anime-esque based I suppose. It's not really tied down to any particular continuity. But the short and long of it is that a lab (could be for any evil team or even just a private venture) develops a Mewtwo, but unbeknownst to them, Pokemon is able to reach out with his psychic abilities at an earlier stage of development and find out their intentions for him. He bides his time, reading the thoughts of everyone on the project and gathering knowledge. Once he gains enough strength (think around the "teenage" stage), he breaks out, destroying the lab in the process. On his way out, he nabs one of the scientist and takes them with him in order to help him re-create the machine he was in so he can mature fully and unlock his true potential. He knows that this particular scientist was coerced to be there in the first place and was practically a prisoner, so he has a sliver of trust for this particular one. But not much. So begins a long and tense relationship between the two as the scientist finds themselves the prisoner of what used to be an experiment they unwilling aided in.

Character dynamics (aka things I want to play but have no ideas about what the plot should be):

Hider

Villainous character+civilian relative (can be toxic or not)
Recently resurrected big bad+distant descendant of a relative who reminds them a lot of said relative
Ex-pat of a certain fictional nation+estranged sibling of said nation who is now a soldier/intelligence officer for said nation's invading force
Mad/morally dubious scientist+old associate forced to work for them

Fandoms that I’m willing to play in/am interested in (though as before, I don’t do them often):

Hider

Marvel (comics, fusion, or original verses preferred)
DC (comics, fusion, or original verses preferred)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Transformers
Pokémon
Legend of Zelda
More TBA probably

And finally, if you want to rp and feel like we would be a good match but I don’t have any plots or characters listed that you’re interested in, feel free to message me and we can see if we can get anything going.

Thank you for your time and hope to play with some of you soon!

@Ersa93 The plot: I Wore the Wrong Shoes for This Is pretty much the whole life story of my favorite OC. @ 3@ //dies of laughter

But anyways, I'm sorta interested in brainstorming this sort of plot out, if you'd like to that is. I, of course, am totally okay with being the pilot character. My characters are always male humans, but I'm not concerned with your characters.

Bumped with updates

[Lexisheeps]

I hope my last post wasn't too long for you! I tried to shorten it, but I felt there was too much time skipping. And since it was the first fight scene, I wanted to show how he ticks.

[Ersa93]

Bump with a character list added

[Ersa93]

Bump with updates to taken plots

[Razgriz]

@Ersa93

I would love to explore the I'm not a doctor rp! As long as you don't mind me playing a villain!

[Ersa93]

Bumped with a couple of original plots added and one fandom centered one.

[Ersa93]

Bumped because I had to update a link.

[Ersa93]

Weekend bump bump.

[Ersa93]

Bumped with a couple of new plot ideas and a new title

[Ersa93]

Weekly updoot, but mostly craving something sci-fi esque this time around. It doesn't have to be with any of the characters or ideas listed above if you have an idea that you think I might be interested.

[Ersa93]

Rebobble since it's been a while.

[Ersa93]

New year, slightly updated post

[Ersa93]

Another bump, this time with a weird Pokemon idea. The best I can summarize it is a platonic Beauty and Beast-esque scenario starring a Mewtwo and a scientist.
