I mostly enjoy writing in the Casual section of the guild. Character development and exploring character relationships motivate me. I like to really think myself into my character and their view on others and the world around them which is why I prefer to stick to one character per roleplay. I love world-building but I am also easily overwhelmed with very detailed concepts I haven't been met with before. So you could say I love a decent amount of world-building and prefer original builds. Once everyone has settled, expanding that world and its concept is a great way to create more depth and keep me as a player hooked as I love to discover new things!

My favorite genre is and has always been fantasy. I guess you could say I love escapism to a point where I like to flee the mundane world entirely. I also feel drawn to sci-fi roleplays but I have noticed that those usually intimidate me. I feel like I am not adept at writing about technology and all that sci-fi goodness so I mostly just pine over how awesome some OOCs look and never apply to them.

When it comes to fantasy I feel right at home. For my mind, it is much easier to grasp magical concepts and worlds than sci-fi ones. As a result of this, all the worlds I write up (be it here as a GM or elsewhere) tend to be fantastical in one way or another. I especially enjoy adventure RPs and witch RPs. I like to see new magical systems and am always eager to learn more about the worlds I RP in.

Additionally, all my characters are queer, always. Since I am queer myself and can't imagine playing straight ^^

Although the days of witch hunts are long past us, life isn't roses. While the upcoming election is threatening witches with a potential anti-witch politician claiming the title of president, unrest is stirring in the corners of the world. A rise in threats has been detected - unnatural beings, magical beasts, and other supernatural phenomena pull media attention and feed directly into an anti-witch campaign.

The Death Knight's Squire (GM)
A D&D One-Shot. A group of adventurers is hired to find the missing grandson of a wealthy couple visiting the town. He was taken by a mysterious knight who rode his horse into the deadly woods nearby, taking the young boy with him. But the knight is not a simple man, he is said to be a resurrected ghostly figure forever in search for a squire, kidnapping young boys who never return home.

Wandering Topside [1x1]
The Cult of the Dragon has come to Phlan, a lawless refuge on the Moonsea. Now, with no significant authority to stop the cult, other power groups in the Realms – the Harpers, Order of the Gauntlet, Lords' Alliance, and even the Zhentarim – must unite to stop the cult from fulfilling its dark purpose in the city. Meanwhile, Rhana, a drow rogue with a questionable past, and Salissa, a dhampir bard with flair, find themselves somehow involved in this as they tackle different missions aimed at stopping the cult.

This is just my character archive. I have recently reorganized it. I made a whole new thread for it, moved the CS I wanted to keep for memories sake over and am now less ashamed to have people stumble upon my creations.

Time: 9:00 am
Location: Port Vanarosa
Mentions: @Infinite Cosmos | Orenn (shortly)
Equipment:




The sun threw glistening sparks upon the softly moving water. Reflections of light danced upon its surface, unbothered and uncaring about the events of last night. Unlike the body floating aimlessly on top of it, letting the soft tender waves carry her body sideways. Her eyes help open, up into the sky towards blinding sunlight. Her white hair sprawled out around her in the water, she lied flat upon the water surface. As the water was still and cool, Éliane's chest felt like a raging storm of emotions beginning to drown her. She closed her eyes as the wave inside her hit her with those heavy emotions again and her mind replayed the bloodshed of yesterday before her inner eyes. She let out a long breath. Steady... One more. Steady now. The waves inside her stilled down. Yet, as she opened her eyes once more, salt leaked over her face, falling from eyes that had tried to leave the crying in the night.

Éliane breathed out once more, closed her eyes. She felt the warm sun on her skin. And she let herself sink underneath the surface. As the water swallowed her whole, she enjoyed the drag downwards... down, down... Her eyes kept closed, the coldness of the sea was a welcome embrace; its sensation killing some of the stormy emotions, the heaviness in her chest. All this pain. Submerged, she spread out her arms into the cold, let her feet dangle deeper where the water got even cooler. The fear of what is coming, what was announced ate up her senses and found its way inside her chest, her veins. Feasting on all the pain her brain was trying to prepare for. As if you could prepare for a war to come. Even worse so, one at this scale.

They were summoning the humans at the castle. What if they would come for the Sun Elf Kingdom first? Because they dared to bring forth humans, to reintroduce them into the world. Would it matter to her less if it was not the Sun Elf Kingdom who had this ability and decided to use it? Would she feel less frightened if the fairies could wield this power? Or the dwarves? Of course not. Orenn... Where would he be now? Did he make his way to the Sun Elf Kingdom already? Would he be safer there, with the humans, their saviors, their grand hope... Or would he be more endangered?

Air became tight. As she pushed her legs and resurfaced, she gasped for air. Much needed air. Her hands stroked back the hair, leaving the white mane flat on her head, the length of it dancing within the water. A breeze brought a cold shiver to her skin before the warmth of the sun kissed it away. Èliane had swum and swum and swum some more after she had woken up this morning. Then, exhausted, she had rested upon the water on her back for thirty minutes. And not a single person in this damned port had asked about her wellbeing. Although a few drunkards - It's just SO early. - had managed to shout some amazingly uncreative words about her underthings towards her. This was saying, it was time to get out.

Throwing all thoughts away, she began swimming back to the dock she had sprung into the water from. As she pulled herself up with ease she dripped water everywhere. Éliane took her hands to her hair and wrung them out as best as possible. She didn't even try to squeeze water from the cloths around her chest and hips. On bare feet she walked down the street, slipping around a corner and into an alleyway. She balanced herself on her tip-toes, feeling in her body a repulsion to the dirt on the street. Naked feet have never been an issue for Éliane, she loved the earth underneath her soles, how it would swallow her steps, how she could walk without breaking a stick. But here it was different. Those were stone paths and it was Port Vanarosa. Enough of the bad-kind-of-dirt splattered onto the streets daily, she didn't try to imagine.

As she rounded the next corner, she found herself at a dead end. A look above her shoulder to make sure she was alone and with two skilled hand placements and one foot on the wall, she propelled herself up and above the low but thick stone wall. Her feet landed on grass on the other side. As she reached her hiding spot, she quickly resurfaced a backpack from its hidden spot from beneath the earth, marked by a tree that only elves would know how to distinguish from others. And maybe some fairies. In no time her backpack, bow, and quiver hung loosely above her shoulder and her sword hang from her lazy grip.

Without bothering to throw clothes over her still dripping wet undergarment, she began to walk along the grassy side of the stone wall which rose higher as she walked further. Images of blades, blood, and bodies dropping lifeless to the cold ground haunted her mind. The General, an elf she had not personally known, but still felt like one of hers, finding his end in such a devastatingly cowardly way. So far away from home. From the warmth of the sun and the business of their Kingdom. She had looked away just a moment too late and the images of those people had not since left her inner eye. The two faces of the Two-Headed Dragon seemed burned into her memory for eternity. Éliane could not fathom such actions, such coldheartedness. The dark elves had felt superior to the rest of them for far too long. Reparations should have been made long ago for the treatment of their kind before it could come to this. But war has begun. And it might just be time for you to reconsider your ideal.

Éliane rounded the next corner, her feet noticed the change of ground before the rest of her did. Something grabbed at her arm, at her waist, she got jerked backward! Éliane gasped, her eyes went wide, her mouth got slapped by a foreign hand, keeping her from producing any word or sound. The sword from her hand was gone, her fingers grabbed uselessly at her waist but her daggers were still in her backpack. Which, she realized only now, had found its way to her feet, next to her quiver. Now her eyes widened in a different kind of surprise. She had never - not once in her life - been overtaken like that. I am not equipped for a war.






...to my first ever 1x1 (or small group!) search. I am your host, Benzaiten, but please, you can call me Ben, Benten, Benji, whatever suits your boat. In this episode of today's adventurous tale, we have me - your most beloved host - searching for RP partners that I click with, vibe with, will want to write with from heavens to hell and back. With no further ado, please, take a seat, scroll through the information. Can I offer you refreshment while you do so? Splendid!

About me:
  • 24 years
  • writes mostly in Casual to low-middle Advanced
  • speaks English and German fluently
  • prefers queer stories/characters (FxF most preferred)
  • Smut: let's discuss this in PMs more, but in general I prefer character-driven sexual/emotional tension and usually prefer to fade to black at some point. This depends also on our vibes together. I don't like smut for the sake of smut, it has to make sense plot-wise and/or character-relationship-wise.
  • prefers OCs and to create own worlds, but enjoys taking ideas/concepts from existing worlds (e.g. Stargate, Potterverse)


Expectations from me:
  • decent grammar and spelling - I don't mind some mistakes, I make them, too.
  • no ghosting - please just let me know what's up, it's easier
  • enjoys building a story that balances plot- and character-driven storytelling
  • mature themes allowed with exceptions (exceptions: drugs, self-harm, suicide - I'd like you to respect this.)
  • must be 18+ (I feel more comfortable)
  • communication is key
  • 1-4 paragraphs, depending on what the IC situation requires
  • However, always quality over quantity
  • must be able to provide a good insight into the character's emotions/motives/thoughts/etc when writing, I wanna feeeel with your character
  • dedicated to building a plot/world together - I want it to be a shared effort
  • regular replies - this can vary from 2-3x a week to weekly or bi-weekly, it's most important to me that when we have a rhythm and we fall out of it, that we let the other one know; be it due to lack of creativity or life getting busy or whatever else


The Themes

Here are some of the (very) general themes I enjoy including in my RPs. (This list is in no way finished, those were just the first things coming to my mind.)

  • fantasy
  • magic
  • sci-fi
  • steampunk
  • world-building
  • character development is very important to me
  • drama, but not just for drama's sake, for story and character sakes
  • quests or goals of some sort - I like to know vaguely where the story is leading us next
  • time or space travel
  • exploration
  • political things (including for example war, corrupt government, etc.)


Existing Worlds

This lists a few of the existing worlds in media that I enjoy currently or in general, so you have an idea of what kind of vibes/worlds/plots I usually enjoy. I am putting this here because I often find it easier. Please note that those are here for inspiration and to draw from them (ideas, whole concepts, etc) but not to jump into their exact world. I also want to note that I am listing them below for their world-building or their general setting/general premise - so I might not fully agree with how they eventually went down, treated some characters/actors, etc. (The 100, I'm looking at you) but they give you an idea of what kind of setting/premise/world-building I find interesting.


Suggestions

Those are just some plot suggestions, I am open to a lot of things.







Character Sheets

These are some characters I made for stories that either never came off the ground or died very young. The characters are obviously open to being re-vamped and tweaked to fit our new plot/setting/ideas. But maybe one or two inspire you.











Note

If you have seen my writing before and caught interest or if you've seen this 1x1 and think we might make a nice pair but nothing of what I said so far seems up your alley, don't feel shy to send me a PM regardless. I'd be happy to hear about your own plot or pairing ideas. Who knows, maybe we can work something out together.






As for now, farewell, my friend! I hope that refreshment gained you some fresh perspective and creativity. Be well on your way now, it is getting dark outside soon. Safe travels! And please, do keep our encounter a secret now, will you? Most peculiar things will happen in your near future, I am certain.

@Helo I love him!!
Hey. I'd be interested in a FxF villain / captured hero story. If you're still interested in that, shoot me a PM and we can discuss what we both expect from it.
