The Apotheosis Maximus

Okay, that actually sounds awesome.

Let's dig up the past, shall we?

I have quite a craving for historical RP's lately so I figured it was the perfect way to get back into this site. Do keep in mind that I am aiming for a more realistic historical setting so no fantasy elements, please. I know that is a immediate turn-off for some people, but I find it quite fun. That being said, I'll lay down some ground rules:

Things to know

1) While I do enjoy historical accuracy I'm not going to get my panties in a wad if somebody makes a minor mistake. I'll even allow for some creative liberties for the sake of creating good FICTION. Just use common sense is all I ask.

2) I love exploring darker themes. The past is full of all sorts of terrible atrocities, everything from discrimination all the way to outright genocide. I don't care to gloss over those simply because somebody is uncomfortable since they are a reality of the history of the human race. If any of those make you uncomfortable then I suggest you leave now.

3) If we're aiming for romance then I prefer MxF. Anything besides MxF was considered taboo for the majority of human history. If we were to write out a homosexual relationship then we would have to keep in mind the in character repercussions if anybody was to find out about it. That being said, I am open to the forbidden love/star-crossed lover sort of plots, but usually between two individuals of different social classes. The whole "homosexual relationship in society where it's taboo" thing I find is way overdone lately.

4) Literacy is a must. I grow bored rather quickly if writing with a partner who gives a short barebones reply with hardly any detail and just a bunch of dialogue. We are writing a story so should both be able to contribute. I don't consider myself to be the most fantastic writer in the world, but please just give me something I can work with.

5) Considering I am nearly in my 30's I do not feel comfortable writing with anybody under 18. Sorry, it's nothing personal. I just don't feel comfortable exploring certain themes in depth with people about a decade younger than me.

Now, what am I seeking to roleplay? Just look below for some of the things I'm currently considering. Most of the listed pairings, unless specified, can be romantic or platonic. I am also open to suggestions if there's something you'd really like to try that is not listed! Chances are I'll only decline if it's an event or period I know little about.

Prompts/pairings I'm especially craving will be starred.

The Apotheosis Maximus

This sounds so silly, yet kind of fun. I'm picturing a Marie Curie shooting beams of radiation induced energy out of her hands, lol.

Not yet an "official" RP, but...

I would like to hear more.

@One Who Tames

Oooooooo...interest. I'm just waiting to see if anybody else replies as I think this would work best as a large group RP. I might also make a Discord group too for OOC discussion simply because it's easier to keep track of everything.

Not yet an "official" RP, but...

I'm just gauging interest for an idea I've had floating around my head for awhile. Basically it's an episodic RP revolving around two factions with time travel technology. The first faction, the antagonists, for some reason to be determined by the plot are seeking to alter major historical events for their benefit. The second faction is assigned to follow the first faction in order to prevent them from making such changes to the established historical time line in order to prevent disaster in the present day(you know, because of all the paradoxes and stuff).

This would obviously be a darker RP with a lot of gritty scenarios thrown in and possibly plenty of violence as well. The time periods/events visited would obviously change each episode as well. For characters I'm thinking well-balanced teams of specialists from varying fields. A person could even create multiple characters, especially if they intend to kill any off. Players could also even come and go as it's episodic in nature.

Anyway, may be a better idea in my head, but I'd love to try it. I have a fascination with both history and all the time travel paradoxes we so often see in fiction written about the subject.

Which setting would you like to see more of in Roleplays?

I guess not so much a setting as it is a plot, but I really want a time travel RP where there's two factions warring. One is trying to alter the past for some reason while a second faction is following them to prevent major changes to history.

Welp, I'm here I guess

Bump! I'm still searching :)

Play? Play play! -seeking new partners-

Feel free to contact me about any of the above on Discord(Jannah#1191).

Welp, I'm here I guess

I disappeared for ages, but I guess I'm back now since I don't really have a RP home any more. That being said, I am seeking some plots. I do consider myself an advanced writer so do favour stories with in-depth character development and plot. However, casual is perfectly fine too!

Primarily I am seeking a historical RP, but am willing to try most things at least once. I am open to suggestions, but here's a list of some of the stuff I'm potentially interested in:

Historical:
Ancient Egypt/Greece/Rome
Revolutions(there's many to choose from and they make fun settings for these things)
Middle Ages/Renaissance
Something royalty or arranged marriage related
WW II
Cold War(especially the espionage stuff)

Fantasy/sci-fi:
Dystopian/post-apocalyptic
Superpower/mutant stuff
Some sort of epic journey
Alien invasion or zombie apocalypse

Fandom(OC's only):
Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts
The Hunger Games
Avatar:TLA/Legend of Korra

I will potentially add more as I think of them.

If interested in RPing please contact me on Discord at Jannah#1191.

A plethora of possibilities!

@LolaYou have my interest.
