[div class=pink]
[div class=headline]Welcome ![/div]
First of all, I'm going to introduce myself: You may call me Anna, I am 23 years old and originally from Germany. This means that my English is probably by far not perfect, but I am very keen to improve it every time. I write about 2-3+ paragraphs on a normal post. My posting length can vary a lot depending on what my partner gives me to work with. Therefor I prefer literate partners that are also willing to post at least 2 well-written paragraphs. I will post a writing prompt at the end of this thread to give you a hint about my writing style. Referring the age of my partners, I tend to prefer writing with people that are 18+, but that is not necessarily a rule. If you can write and think like a mature person, that is enough for me.

Now coming to the themes or plots I am interested in. For this thread I'm looking for someone that is interested in a more realistic and historical roleplay with focus on character development and character relations. I've watched a couple of series and movies that have inspired me for this search "The Crown", "Little Woman","Pride & Prejudice" and "Outlander" to name a few. All of them involve somewhat strong characters that needed a lot of development which I'm aiming for in this roleplay. Romance can take a place in this one, but I don't want this one to be easily developed or gained. And I do want our characters to have other goals in life than just the romantic aim.

After all, we all have also other wishes and dreams in life, and I want our characters to be complex and individual figures. This also means, that there will be arguments IC, there will be hard times, a little bit of drama, happy times and jokes, but also sad moments. I hope I was able to keep your interest since I will now explain some of my ideas. c:

[div class=subheadline]# First Idea[/div]
I would like to write something in a royal and political context. This can be either set in an alternate universe ( with maybe the same country names ) or it can also be placed in our world. I guess that does somehow depends on how much work we want to put into researching the era we want to write in. I will add some keywords and pairings I would like to write about to give some inspirations. c:

✏ war
✏ rebellion
✏ uniting kingdoms through marriage
✏ rich merchant and a conservative noble
✏ depressed noble and poor but optimistic actor/writer/musician
✏ a poor orphan and a noble


[div class=subheadline]# Second Idea[/div]
The other idea would be somehow inspired Little Woman. I loved the development of the sisters, and would like write out something of that kind in maybe the 19th or 20th century where our characters get to know each other and have different ambitions and traits, but still end up spending a lot of time together for whatever reason. Again, some pairings:

✏ an ambitious doctor and a dreamy artist that lives for the day
✏ a passionate photographer/journalist and an elite actor/actress
✏ a lively time-traveller and a lonely author
✏ a cold detective and his target

If you are interested in one of these, please message me some plot ideas or declare your interest down below. I'm also open to hear about other ideas that take place within a historical setting. Thank you. c:

Beren's eyes were glued to the clouds that were moving around the air plane. She was sitting at the window side, her legs crossed and her face turned towards the light of the window to her right. The shine of the morning sun was being reflected by the gleaming metal of her right arm - her robot arm as she would secretly call it. She spread her metallic fingers and balled them up again. Last week, she was having some complications with the neuronal stimuli that were sent into her augmented prosthesis which caused her reflexes to be slower than usually. But after a meeting with her doctor and a couple of adjustments by her technician, the problems had been erased. It had given her a lot of confidence for the mission that was awaiting her and Cano. Last thing she needed was a half functioning robot arm while riding on the back of a dragon towards a nearly unknown island. Her eyes went back to the ebook that was laying on her lap. The open paper was titled with the name The Learning Repertoire of Reptiles written by J. Newman and S. Kingsley. She had decided to bring some interesting literature onto her flight to occupy her mind with something else than the upcoming mission. Yet, her thoughts went back to Covensano Island constantly, and she hadn't even finished the first five pages of the paper. Beren took a look at her wrist watch that showed 6 o'clock in the morning. Still two and a half hours of flight left, she thought, and decided to finish the rest of the paper within the next hours. Cano was still sleeping in the back of the airplane. She could hear the faint snoring of the huge reptile. During the next hours, the turkish woman was completely absorbed by the diagrams and analyses of the scientific literature.

Beren would have probably missed the landing of the airplane if not a high pitched voice had pulled her out of her thoughts. "Miss Atalar? We will arrive in about 15 minutes. Are you ready?" Her assistant for the mission, Elik Avni, was peeking through the door of the cabin. Beren pulled a strand of hair out of her face and looked up from her ebook. She blinked, needing a moment to find herself in reality again. "Yes, Elik. Sorry, I was reading. Maybe I need a moment to get our stuff together." The young woman smiled, and nodded. "As I said, we have a couple of minutes left. Take your time, and get Cano ready. We will probably be welcomed by the other participants and want to show ourself from our very best side."

For the next minutes, Beren was busy sorting out any kind of electronics she wouldn't need for the mission, freeing her suit from dust particles, and putting her hair back into a tight braid. Cano had a light sleep during the flight, and was very uncommunicative after waking up. Beren would quickly make some checks on his pulse, give him a some pills munched into a snack against the dizziness of the flight, and put on the riding equipment. Both of them were ready on the minute when Elik checked in again. "Perfect," she said with a smile. While Cano and Beren left the airplane and went towards their escort, Elik was giving her final instructions she had received by the turkish government. As soon as they had reached the two guards that were going to escort them to the first meeting, the secretary said her goodbyes and Beren thanked her for her work.

The walk towards the meeting felt like an eternity. How are you feeling?, she checked into the dragon who didn't say a word since arriving. Fine, he replied, briefly as always. The flight was long, but the medicine has worked. Thank you for that. Beren smiled lightly at the answer. Cano's friendly words were rare to find. You are very welcome. Now, We are soon going to meet the participants. For the sake of this mission, we should show ourselves from our best side. Beren instructed. And with a more soft tone she added: You remember about our agreement, right? The dragon remembered. I will help you and your country accomplish this mission, and you will find a way to bring me home as soon as possible.

Soon, they arrived at the meeting point. The guard stopped and Beren eyed the other participants. Some of the looked more taller and more bulky as she would assume. They were briefed shortly, but Beren made an effort to remember the words that were told, and eventually note down essentials on her map. After that, Beren was very keen to finally meet the other participants. The japanese participant bowed in front of her, and Beren mirrored his gesture in respect to his culture. "The pleasure is all mine, Mister Yamada" she said with a sincere smile while reaching for one of the radios that was given to her. She briefly checked the the radio in her hand when the voice of the chinese participant echoed through the device. "Very mindful, Miss Li," she stated, and greeted the woman with a polite smile.

Historical? You've piqued my interest. I myself am I fan of history and I'm trying to get into the aesthetic of the Napoleonic era. I was thinking we can do a little war plot, set around say, the war of the third coalition. Either that, or we can set it during the French Revolution of 1798 or the War of 1812.
