So, I've just got back from a crazy work schedule (and catching up on the replies I owe people here!) But now that I seem to be free again, I'm looking for some RP :D
Yep. So, like the title says, I'm looking for a possible partner. I've been reading too many books lately that are military/romance themed and it's got me cooking up possible stories. I have two in mind currently that I want to try out and I think that the character development focus I like could make things amazing, with the right partners. Hopefully I get one for each, but who knows.
Anyway, before I get on with the ideas, it might be best to say a little about myself. I'm 26 and have a full time job. I can only post before and after work, but can still push out a few posts a day depending on the timezones and the posting of my partner. I've been roleplaying since I was thirteen and love it. I can play multiple characters, males, females and anything really. I like to post a lot, though I try to cut out the rambling and try not to make my posts too long, but I think 3-5 paragraphs is a good one. Though if my partner writes more, that's fine by me. I try to match their posting habits. I'm also really flexible and love discussing things OOC. I also can write adult and mature themes but that doesn't mean cyber time. I like romance as good as the next person, but it has to fit in the story and be with a purpose.
So if you think we could be a potential match, that is a start! :D
So, onto the ideas I guess :D
1. I really like the idea of a long distance relationship between a soldier in his early twenties and a student that starts writing letters as an assignment. She's 17 and is in her last year of highschool, about to go to college. A soldier gets her letter and replies. And that's all that's needed. Whether they just cook up a good friendship, or there is some chemistry there depends on the story, but I want it to heavily rely letters and character development between the two; or having them talk via emails and skype. The point is the distance and the challenges they over come. Whether they eventually meet or not also depends on the story. Maybe they do, and things like age, long distance, his military background is something to over come - depends on us and the characters and the stories. So, if this feels like your cup of tea, come and join me :D. I would like to play the female in this.
2. Now, this idea is one of two ways. A soldier out at war meets a civilian that captivates him - but is technically on their enemies side; or a soldier that is a hostage and meets his captor's sister, that is an innocent caught up with the enemy. Again, I want this to be huge character development. The soldier either wants to escape in version B of this idea; or wants to help the girl in version A. It would be interesting to have a language barrier possibly and to see what twists and turns occur in either of these situations. I just think they'd be really interesting to play out. I would like to play the female in this idea too.
One thing I do want to say about both these ideas is: I know how shit things are in parts of the world right now, and I don't want the RP's to get involved in actual events going on or focus on those kinds of politics etc etc. So I'd like to add an element of (especially for the second idea) futuristic-ness to it. Or even in a different place. Maybe even another planet with humans on or something. The last thing I want for the second idea is for it to follow the shitty path of what's going on today. Yes, it can be dark and nitty gritty; I just think we shouldn't dip our toes in the ins and outs of certain conflicts.
So, if you're up for any of them, let me know your ideas here in a PM :)
