Nano
procrastination symphony
Hi there! My name is Nano or whatever else it is that you'd like to call me as long as it isn't something like...shit head...'cuz y'know...that's just rude. So, I currently have a total of five 1x1 ideas posted with more possibly being added over time. Please note that all of the titles are pretty much just names that I slapped onto the idea for convenience and are not set in stone. Also, these are just basic plots, so I hope to develop them more with you~
Side Note: Feel free to bring up a possible plot idea that isn't on this list! I can't guarantee that I'll be interested, but I'm all ears!
Side Note (2): I may possibly accept more than one app for each idea! Some of my ideas can have up to three RP'ers (including myself ofc).
Side Note (3): It's late, and I'm currently proofreading my plots. Please excuse my possibly horrible grammar. It shouldn't be TOO bad though... :'D
Yes, I am, in fact, requiring certain criteria to be met. I'm sure that these are pretty normal though.
Attitude - Just...don't be rude...I'm sure we're all mature enough for that.
Grammar - Grammar should be appropriate for the high-school level. I believe we would have a problem if you still mix up things such as "their," "there," and "they're." You should be fine if I can clearly understand what you're trying to say.
Post Length - I have a pretty flexible post length, but I really prefer to RP with people who post around 3 paragraphs or more. I'm more of a Detailed person rather than Casual or Simple.
Amiability - I'm actually the type of person who can't really get herself motivated to do something if the person I'm working with is super awkward. I'll try my best to suit your needs as I realize that we can't all be social, but please try to make an effort to not sound too stiff.
Contribution - While I have basic stuff plotted out already, I'm looking for someone who is willing to expand the setting, plot, and the overall RP with me.
Research - This all really depends on the topic you choose and what kind of character you decide to play as, but please do your research should it be necessary. This would be for things like in "The Differences Between Us" where there are yokai or for characters with illnesses.
Characters - No Mary Sues/Gary Stus and please stay away from using canon characters.
Romance - This isn't really a requirement but more of a forewarning. I'm actually not very proactive when it comes to shipping my characters with another person's. I'll be all for it if I see the development, but other than that...just...don't expect romance to be a very major theme in most of my RPs.
Application - I've posted a code below with an application for any of these 1x1s. Don't worry, it's pretty much just a simple questionnaire so I know what to look out for. I'll be submitting one as well in order to make things fair.
Writing Sample - In the application, I have a section for a writing sample. I don't need anything too long or complex. It's fine as long as I can get the gist of your RP'ing style with it.

To Be Or Not To Be
-
You have always had these strange sort of powers. They were abilities which would have gotten you stuck in some weird science facility if you hadn't kept them hidden. You couldn't even tell your own parents about these powers. Throughout your whole life, you believed that you were the sole unfortunate person to have been cursed with these powers.
However, this all changes when you witness the murder of a close friend of yours...by a person with supernatural powers just like you. Just as you're contemplating on how you should react to this situation, you find out that the murder of your friend isn't the end of the murders caused by this person. The thing is, this isn't like typical serial murders. The people murdered by this person are all seemingly unrelated and the intervals between each victim are irregular as well. If that weren't strange enough, only you seem to run into that person. In fact, no one else even seems to remember the people who have been murdered. If someone happens to pass by the murder scene, they stand there, shocked, for a few seconds before moving on with their lives as if they hadn't just seen a dead body. With that and any evidence of the murder completely vanishing without a trace by the next day, it's pretty much as if the victim had never even existed in the world. Thus, you alone are the sole person who realizes that these murders are even taking place.
So, what will you do? Will you finally use your powers for a purpose and avenge the death of your friend while simultaneously preventing any more deaths? Perhaps by doing so, you might even find out the truth about why this person is killing people of this town or maybe you might even find out the identity of this person...after all, this is but a small world. Who knows? The murderer might even be a classmate of yours.

The RP's setting is generally in a high school during modern times. The name of the town/city/village that this RP takes place in is up for debate.
As this is essentially a reboot, this RP is the single idea with the most planning behind it.
I'll be releasing further details (along with some questions) via PM once I get my partner.
Yes, there is a reason why the murders are occurring. I just didn't include it in the summary because I couldn't fit it in without sounding awkward.
The powers in this RP are more ESPer-like rather than magic.
The gender of the killer and the "you" is undecided as of yet. I'm not very picky about gender, so I'll let you choose first.
About romance...idk...possible? I don't really want it to be the focus of the plot though.

Eye of the Beholder
-
For as long as you could remember, you were able to see things that no one else could see. Others simply said that you had an over-active imagination, but the creatures and things that you saw always seemed so real. In fact, they appeared to be so real that you couldn't tell the difference between what others deemed as reality and those things that only you could see. As you grew up, this supposed imagination of yours changed from you being "imaginative" or "creative" to you being a "liar" who sought attention. As a result, you have been forced to learn what was considered "real" and react to only those. You had to learn the difference between what was "normal" and what was "strange" according to the standards of society.
However, everything changes one day. Just as you began to believe that perhaps you really were crazy, someone else reacted to "what should not be seen." At first, you brushed it off as a simple coincidence, but you began seeing more people who saw the world the same way that you did. For the first time in your life, you finally felt at ease, even if it was just a little bit. The things you saw weren't just a figment of your imagination. They were very much real. It was just that most people couldn't see them. Of course, this didn't solve your problem of being able to see them in the first place, but it gave you hope: If you could talk to these people who had "the sight," then maybe, just maybe, you might be able to find some answers on just why these creatures and things appear before the eyes of only a select number of people.
Of course, whether or not you'll be able to purposefully find and track one of those people down is quite the big IF.

The setting is modern day.
This is one of the RPs on this list that can have more than just two characters. If you wish, you can possibly make a second one, or perhaps another person can join us.
The creatures and things that the person can see are the typical mythical creatures.
As of yet, our characters do not have any special powers other than being able to see these creatures. Whether or not they'll develop powers is up for debate.

A Hero No Longer
-
In the country of Alstroemeria, there existed two great and esteemed heroes known as the White and Black Nobles. Within their respective regions, the two managed to make a name for themselves by keeping the peace and helping their country prosper. Despite all this fame, no one knew who they were or what they even looked like, only given a single color to associate each with. What they did know was that wherever there was a large amount of strife or a calamity, either or both of the nobles would appear to alleviate the situation.
However, the two nobles disappeared as soon as they had appeared, leaving people to wonder if their time of passing had perhaps come. A total of two hundred years passed and the people of Alstroemeria completely forgot about the reality of the deeds of the two nobles. To them, such feats were impossible for two mortals and their legends eventually turned into mere stories. Of course, there are still a few who still believe that the nobles truly had existed. However, even they realize that the nobles must have passed on. After all, it has been two hundred years.
What the people don't know is that the two nobles are still very much alive, although they have missed the past two hundred years due to having been in a deep slumber. However, these supposed "heroes" aren't quite what they used to be. Whoever or whatever had put them to sleep for two centuries seemed to be quite displeased with them. When the two nobles who had been known for their great strength and mythical powers finally awoke, they found that a vast majority of their powers were gone, along with a few other losses.
It seems that before they can continue to do any more saving, they'll have to first find out what sadistic person or thing had left in such a pitiful state.

The setting for this RP is medieval, even after two centuries.
This is basically from a hero to zero
Our characters do not necessarily have to be human.
This RP is originally intended to be more comedic, but it can potentially develop into an RP with much more serious themes.
Black and White are just fillers. You may choose any basic color/shade.
I'm sorry, but for this RP in particular, I'd prefer to use anime or similar kinds of FCs. This is because of the color thing.
Building off of the point above, your character does not have to have the haircolor of their titled color. It's fine as long as their overall theme portrays that particular color as a main color.

The Differences Between Us
-
The denizens of Mt. Tori (Toriyama) and the village of Iwa (Iwamura) have never gotten along with each other. After all, Toriyama is a mountain full of yokai while Iwamura is a village full of humans. With so many differences between the two races, it's only natural for the two groups to not get along. For generations, the humans and yokai lived in their respective areas, hating each other for no reason other than for the fact that their ancestors have raised them to hate the other. Occasionally, a group of foolish humans or yokai would venture into the other race's territory in order to terrorize their opposites. These occurrences were always dealt with by the races' respective leaders, but the tensions still grew as a result of it happening in the first place.
As fate--or perhaps just coincidence--would have it, the future leader of the yokai of Toriyama had a chance meeting with the future head priest/priestess of Iwamura during their childhood. Despite being surprised at the other's appearance, the two children curiously approached each other. After just a few hours of playing together, the two decided that from what they saw in each other, the supposed "differences" between them were really nothing much at all. With a promise to meet again once they were stronger, the two, naive as they were, made a vow to be able to somehow unite the two races.
Of course, this is all easier said than done. Managing to change the outlook of the prejudiced members of their races aside, will the two even remember the promise that they made that day?

The setting is Feudal Japan in the area specified in the general plot overview.
As this RP contains yokai, please do your research. You don't have to become an expert on yokai, but please at least become familiar with the ones that will be appearing in the RP.
If you wish to participate in this 1x1, you might wish to become a little more familiar on the culture of Japan.
This RP takes place in a Japan-based setting, but isn't Japan itself.
This idea is based off of the RP that I'm currently GM'ing. It isn't the same verse or the exact same conflict, but it has similar themes and concepts.

Letters From Me to You
-
You don't know why you did it or even how it's happening. It just all began when you found a small metal box with a note inside of it in your bag one day. At first, you thought it was a prank and someone just slipped it inside while you were passing by. As a joke to your own self, you decided to respond to that note inside of the box. To your surprise, when you checked the box a few hours later, the note that you had written was gone. In it's place was a response to the letter that you had just written.
"It's all rather strange, isn't it?"

The setting is modern day.
The sender of the letters can be from the future or even another world.
If you want to pull the receiver into the location of the sender, I'm fine with that!
This RP is pretty much the blankest one here. I didn't really do too much plotting for this one yet.
With the way the idea is, this RP is actually the only RP on this RP where romance may possibly be a major theme.
Again, pretty much a blank template. Feel free to throw ideas at me!

Oh, yeesh. I'm the one who recommended writing something here, yet I can't really think of much to say! Umm...I hate mushrooms with a burning passion and can't really eat too many sweets or things that are too sweet. I really like things with rice in them, though!
I'm bilingual (only counting the languages that I've been speaking since I was little) and can pretty much relate to all the things that happen to bilingual people or things that bilingual people do. Yes...I've done that thing where I accidentally include a foreign word inside an English sentence and people have to ask me to repeat myself in full English...
Other than that...ummm...I like VOEZ and Touken Ranbu?
(Well, that was random...)

Writing Sample
-
- Note - Signal is a living blade. Basically, he's a weapon that's been given a consciousness and human body. He's still a child in this writing sample which explains why he knows so little about humans and the world.
"You know...it's not a bad thing to cry."
Signal angrily rubbed his eyes with his uninjured arm. "I'm not crying! I'm just...sweating from my eyes!"
At this, Lute chuckled slightly before patting Signal on the head and crouching down to look him in the eye. "You realize that humans can't sweat from their eyes, right?"
"..." Signal jerked slightly before lowering his head to look sulkily at the floor. He then slowly pulled his red scarf up to cover the lower half of his face. "I'm. Not. Crying."
"And this is why I call you a brat." Lute sighed. Pulling Signal's torn sleeve up, his expression changed to a much more serious one. He didn't know why he was running around the house in the middle of the night, but the little boy had ended up smashing himself into one of the large panes of glass that he had set aside to use later. Luckily, the cut running down his arm was a clean cut, meaning that it would heal pretty quickly, but that didn't mean that it didn't look like it hurt a lot. Honestly, he was pretty surprised that someone who wasn't used to being able to feel pain was managing to tough it out, although just barely. Besides, technically, Signal was still a child, so it didn't make sense for him to find crying so shameful. For someone who didn't even know that humans can't sweat from their eyes, it was rather odd for him to have somehow found out that many people thought that tears were a sign of weakness.
After Lute had gotten Signal's wound all cleaned and patched up, he moved outside to the porch and sat Signal down on his lap with a cup of muscat grape tea. It wasn't Signal's favorite, but they had run out of tea leaves for silver needle, so his second favorite would have to do.
Signal took the cup that was offered to him and sulkily blew into the still-hot liquid. After taking a single sip, he suddenly tipped his head backwards to gaze up at Lute. "Lute...you won't leave me, right? Even if I'm troublesome...you won't abandon me?" He didn't know why, but lately, he'd been feeling a sense of discomfort at the thought of being left behind once again. Before, he didn't care about having been passed from person to person whether it be a result of being stolen or his previous owner dying, but this time, something was bothering him to the point that he almost felt fear, an emotion that he wasn't supposed to have.
Upon hearing Signal's question, Lute flicked his forehead. "I already went through so much trouble just to get you here. Do you really think I would just dump you in some random place?" Lute looked up at the sky before sighing and looking back down at Signal. "I can't be with you forever since things are bound to happen, but I can promise you one thing: Even if you can't see me, I'll still somehow be here with you."
Signal slid off of Lute's lap to stand up on the grass. He turned around to face Lute. "What do you mean?"
"Mmm..." Lute paused to think up of a way to explain what he meant. "You know how you can't see the moon in the morning? The thing is, it's still somewhere in the sky even if you can't see it."
Signal piped up again. "But that's the moon. You're another thing. How do I know that you'll keep your promise?"
This time, Lute pointed up at the sky, more specifically the moon that he had just been speaking of, before sticking his pinky out. "Along with pinky promises, my family has a tradition of swearing on the moon since it'll always be there to witness and bear testimony to a promise. So...I promise that everything that I just said is true."
The little boy looked up at the moon and then down at Lute's outstretched pinky. Despite all that Lute had just said, he still wasn't quite convinced. "What if...what if the moon breaks in half and never gets its other side back? Would the promise still count then?"
"Then, I'll go and find its broken half." Lute couldn't help but laugh at this. It seemed that Signal still had yet to get the science behind the phases of the moon. Well, this silliness was certainly a lot better than his cold demeanor during his first month.
Soon, Signal hesitantly locked pinkies with Lute. Maybe--just maybe--it wasn't such a bad thing to have assumed the form of a human and met Lute. Maybe...it wasn't such a bad idea to put a little more faith in humans and in living the life of one.
- Note - Signal is a living blade. Basically, he's a weapon that's been given a consciousness and human body. He's still a child in this writing sample which explains why he knows so little about humans and the world.
