Please read my entire thread before contacting me! It would save a lot of time and effort for both of us.
Hello! My name is Brook, and this is absolutely not my first search thread! Every now and again I like to clean sweep my thread to add in new plots easily and new rules too. However, I'll still be happy to give you an introduction! I've been RPing for around eight or nine years, and I like to say I've come a very long way. I used to do lots of in-game RP, and cling to the edge of the 'good' RPers to slowly worm my way in. Starting with one-liners, I've grown over different platforms to crave long and detailed responses. Think that those are dumb and filled with fluff? Then I'm absolutely not the partner for you. If you can't give the same as what I do in my posts, I won't be keen to pick you as a partner.
As it goes, I do have a few introductory-sort of things I'd like to cover.
‣ First thing first, I write. I write, and I write, and I write. That means my replies average from 600 words, to over 1000. I rarely ever dip below 600 if my partner is providing me with enough information, and I want that sort of RP in return. Picky? Oh, a bit. But we're here to have fun, and I don't want to be annoyed with someone because we didn't click over writing lengths. I would like my partner to mirror that length for when posting. (So 600+ words.) Please do not send me an example where you just barely scrap that, then dip instantly under once the RP begins. I won't be a happy gal.
‣ On that note, I'm gonna ask for a writing example. So save some time and just send one with your original PM!
‣ Coding; I like codes! I appreciate them, and I highly prefer my partner to have a legible IC posting code. Picky again? You bet! This one I can be wavered on, but I really do appreciate when the aesthetics of codes pull an RP together. I don't expect you to make one, our lovely code-makers on the site gave us many freebies! Thank you all my lovely code-makers!
‣ Frequency; Due to my odd schedule in college, I find myself with random hours of the day with nothing to do. That means I can post daily. However! I do not expect my partner to post daily, though I do prefer at least once a week. Any more than that without any contact, and I will send you a little message to check on you. If you give me a heads-up, I can wait for months for a reply, and I'm serious about that. I am patient, so don't worry. Don't feel rushed to post either if I post back quickly, it just means I had free time!
‣ OOC Chatter? Yes! I have a discord, and I'll happily add you on it to discuss anything OOC -- Whether it be updates or just plot discussions. I can also use PMs, as I get notifications through discord whenever I get a RPN PM. I'm pretty good about replying quickly, so if you feel I'm taking a long time, it means I got distracted and I just need a slight bump. (Seriously, just double message me. I'll do it cause I like talking!) If I suddenly stop responding to a PM, just send me another one. I am not trying to ghost you, it means I forgot and I am stupid.
Please read these. I will cry if you don't.
‣ Respect-- More specifically, respecting what I may dislike, and just being nice in general! I'm big on respecting others triggers, so I want you to tell me beforehand so nothing comes up IRP that you're especially uncomfortable with. That being said, I'll tell you what I'm uncomfortable with too, and I hope you'll respect that! We're here to have fun writing, no one wants to be uncomfortable in the story they're creating.
‣ Doubling-- I may have people drop for this, but I don't like doubling too much. Preferably, I want to focus on one main character with a myriad of NPCs we can both control when needed. It's just a personal preference with how I write, and how much I have to write. (Considering I enjoy writing a lot for one character, I don't want to drain myself on multiple characters I may not be too invested in.)
‣ Location-- I want to RP in threads, sorry! I understand the appeal of RPing in PMs, but at this point, I prefer to keep my RPs public and in threads. It's easier for me to keep track of for some reason with all my PMs, and it works in with my current organization. I don't do email/discord/docs. (I may be willing to RP in PM if you're really uncomfortable with RPing in threads.)
‣ Typos? Duh, they can happen. That being said, I do tend to correct my own typos after a bit, and I try to keep them at a minimum. I write a lot, and I expect my partner to do the same, so I'm okay with a few misspellings or some awkward wording. That being said, again, I do want my partner to have a strong grasp on writing and creating stories. It's jarring to have a ton of errors when I'm RPing, and I'll likely drop the RP if it happens often enough.
‣ The dreaded question...What gender do I prefer to RP? I need to put this in here, because it's important. Since I don't double, I normally stick to one gender. And (unfortunately) that gender is female. I understand there are a lot of people who enjoy playing females on that site, but this is nothing against them. (I'm one of 'em!) I just don't enjoy playing males for RPs personally, and I want to enjoy what I write. (I'll obviously do male NPCs, but I'm just speaking main character wise.)
‣ Following up-- I like romance in my RPs, but it's normally not the main focus. Character dynamics are hella important to me, and if the characters don't click as friends, much less lovers, then the plot does feel stale to me. I don't want to RP any romance where an abuser becomes a lover, because I'm not about promoting those sort of relationships. (I don't really want to RP any type of toxic relationship, in fact.) I don't personally find the appeal in it, so I won't do any sort of romance with that. (Characters do not have to like each other right when they meet, but that's much different than someone being abusive.) My main preference for RP is MxF, so please note that too.
‣ Plot. With. Me! I love talking about plots. Sometimes I may sound a bit vague whenever I want to plot, so I need someone who can bounce ideas back and forth with me. Make plot-lines up as we go, I don't care, I love it! But I do want a plot, and I want an end for the RP. (The RP could go on for months, I'm serious when I say long-term! But I want an end goal.)
‣ Art/FCs-- I'm gonna use realistic/stylized art or realistic FCSs for my characters. (No anime-screenshots, or anime-style art. Think x or xx. [[First artwork by ravenclawesome here on RPN!]] ( I would highly prefer if my partner did use FCs, that the person is famous or public with their photos like models. Please don't steal from people's private instagrams!)
Below are the main plots I've been interested in. I like them all equally, though I may mark one I'm really craving with ****. I will say which Muse I'm interested for particular RPs, but some I have no strong preference and will happily let my partner pick first.
Ending a War How-To [Historical/Rome-ish/Magic]
[Note, this won't be set in actual Rome. Just a fantasy world similar to Rome. I would be playing the seraphim.]
When the current Emperor is killed in the middle a raging war, his only son is given the throne and the mantle his father previously carried. Ready to continue on with the war that killed his father, and seek revenge, the new Emperor suddenly finds himself with a winged visitor that only he can see. Claiming to be his 'guiding seraphim,' this angelic woman has one goal-- Stop the war. But you can't just stop a war randomly, and the Emperor doesn't really want to stop it. Butting heads with each other, both of them try to find a solution to their disagreements, whichever way possible.
Meanwhile, the opposing forces are planning something dark and far more important than the squabbles of the two.
‣ Replacements For Those Lost [Sci-fi/Androids/Dealing with Lost]
[Note, I have no preference for which muse I play for this RP.]
Technology never stops advancing. It wasn't long before society figured out the inner workings of A.I, producing near life-like androids. However, they're expensive, and not just anyone owns them.
But one company allows you to rent them, for one specific reason. When someone is lost suddenly, whether it be from natural causes or foul play, moving on can difficult, if not impossible for most. Without closure, people become stuck in the past. This is where the Replacements come in. These androids are specifically built to resemble the recently deceased, ordered by whoever lost them to gain closure. Programmed with their personality and details of their death, they slowly work through the process together in a week. And when time is up, they let them go on their own terms. The androids are peacefully 'put out of commission,' and the renter moves on with their lives.
Muse A is recently facing the lost of a lover. A fierce and passionate romance, it was almost as quick to end as it did start. Unable to properly cope with the loss, even scared to let go, they rent an android modeled after their lost lover.
Must B hasn't been alive for more than a few hours, but they know all they need to know. They're supposed to be [insert name] for Muse A, and then they'll be done in a week. Their only job is to make sure they receive the closure they need, and make sure they're able to move on in life without them. But Muse B is starting to feel things they shouldn't. Muse B is starting to feel like their own person, and that's not correct. It can't possibly be correct. And Muse A isn't who they thought they'd be. Were they really in love, or did they not want to be alone?
Together, both try to discover what it means to be human and yourself, while the clock ticks down. Seven days to figure it all out, before Muse B is put down. Seven days to collide and break it all.
‣ Killing The Queen [Sirens/Pirates/Journey]
[I already have art of the siren, so I will be using her. This is personal art I bought, too!]
The seas no longer belong to the men who used to rule the waves with wooden vessels. For whatever reasons fifteen years ago, they showed up. Beautiful and alluring, these creatures of the sea peeked up from the waves with lovely voices and suggestive gazes. But when their lips parted and the songs began, so did the slaughter. Entire fleets were wiped out by these half human, half fish women, and trading was nearly destroyed. No one was safe from these creatures, dubbed 'sirens.' They stole the hearts quite literally from the chests of their victims, and never stuck around long enough for capture.
But mankind doesn't fall so easily. Hunters began to arise, and take out the nasty creatures. Turning foam once they were killed, soon ships of grizzled hunters were sent out to spear these beastly women. One ship in particular excelled at hunting, their captain known for being the Prince of a neighboring kingdom. He ditched a life of gold and pleasure for salt and brine. He had one goal, and that was to kill every single sea-bitch there was.
Yet when he finds a woman floating in the water one quiet night, his entire life is flipped. Animalistic and nasty, the woman offers one thing to the captain. If he delivers her to land, she'll teach him the secret to killing the Queen of sirens. With her dead, the creatures have no leader. No motivation to keep killing. He has no reason to trust the woman, but something about her is familiar. She reeks of the sea and blood, and the necklace around her neck is known to be only worn by sirens. Will a shaky alliance form, or will the two find themselves at each other's throats?
Both want the Queen dead, but their reasons couldn't be more different.
‣ **Preposterous! [Dancing/Victorian/Comedy/Dirty-Dancing Parody]**
[For this RP, I would like to play Muse A. And yes, this is total knock-off of Dirty Dancing. Sue me!]
When Muse A is to return to her childhood home, now owned by her uncle, she already expects the worst. Stuffy marriage lessons, rude men, and not enough food to go around. Her father ruined the fortune they held, and they now look to marry off Muse A to a hopefully rich man in hopes of regaining some fortune. The only issue seems to be the fact that no one wants to marry the poor girl. She speaks out of line too often, and tends to avoid her lessons like the plague. Her uncle hopes to fix such a thing with harsher lessons, especially in the dancing department.
Muse B has worked at the same manor for years. He often finds himself instructing women who come through as their dance teacher, before heading back out to work in the stables. In his free time, he attends 'dirty' dancing parties, and teaches formal dance classes to young schoolgirls at a local ministry. Soon enough, his life is turned upside down when he receives a challenge. He has to teach Muse A, who is the absolute worse at dancing. In fact, she's possibly the worse dancer he's ever seen. When a series of mishaps causes Muse A to be his only partner choice for upcoming masquerade competition, the two attempt to work together to make sure she can actually step on the floor, and not his feet.
While these are clearly not fleshed out, I can most likely come up with a plot for any of them with a little work. I'm a pretty crafty person, so don't worry if it seems barebones! I always got stuff up my sleeve.
