Fantasy Looking for a fun, long-term partner! - lit, MxM/F, Romance

[sweetghost]

Hello! My name is Christina, and I would like to try my hand at roleplaying 1-2 more roleplay partner. I'm 23, an assistant manager, and dead inside for it 8 hours out of the day, so I would like a truly relaxing hobby after work. I like brainstorming a lot, talking about plot OOC, and would prefer someone who can keep up with me.
I like chatting on discord just for post reminders.



If you need any of the basics about me before moving forward:

• MxF or MxM
• Literate "capable". I don't need a word count, but I'm not interested if 4 paragraphs feels impossible to you. Tbh, I'm busy, so I don't wanna go ham every post. But I want to know that in those juicy moments I can get juicy details from you.
• I will create a cast of side characters and villains. I would hope you're capable of controlling several side characters.
• Romance, Fantasy, & Horror are my favorite genres.

• I don't need/use faceclaims. I would love the visual if you use them, but I do not need them. If you don't know what I'm talking about, even better.
• TW; Violence & death are a common theme for me. I'll applaud you if you can keep my attention without it, though. Above all, I enjoy writing about our character's emotional pain, too, and that can be taxing for some people so let me know. Fluff and happiness bore me sometimes.
• Third-Person with good grammar. If you are not fluent in English or you make the occasional spelling mistake, that is perfectly fine and I hope I can receive the same courtesy. If it is frequently obscuring the story, that is a problem.
• I like to use discord for communication purposes since it is the fastest and easiest way to contact me. Post reminders are important to me, too.

As far as the type of roleplay I like:

• I like playing characters with ambiguous morals that develop as characters over the course of the plot. I want romance and heavy drama/angst, usually with characters bonding over the events that transpire. I don't usually play gruff/macho men often, but I don't play brassy ladies either. You can read a little about my characters to get an idea. I don't care what type of person you play as long as they can help me move the plot along. If you're constantly reacting without creating any momentum in the rp, it won't work out. Even so, a character with a passive personality is very different from a passive character or passive writer.
• For plots, I like modern fantasy or medieval fantasy, but rarely just straight-up humans doing human things, especially in historic settings. I like creating a threat that our character will need to escape or beat. Antagonists & villains are not only fun to write, but easy plot devices that I love to indulge in. I love redemption arcs, I love it when our main heroes lose, I love it all.
• I like dark themes. Everyone says this, but I'll try to get specific. I want our characters out there dealing with murder and dealing with life or death situations. I still like some lighter things, Teenage drama is always fun, too. As long as it is a heavy weight or burden on the character. I recently reread the first half of twilight and the balance of teenage drama and deadly vampire drama was still fun, if not a bit bland. Writing about my character's mental state is my favorite, and I would love to read about your character's thoughts and feelings moreso than them walking across the room.
• I am not interested in a 'top/bot' ruleset for characters. They are just in love, both will have moments of vulnerability and moments of strength. I really dislike the super passive, bubbly damsel as well as the overly masculine or badass character, in any gender. I have had people pretty much cringe in an MxF if my male character shows any kind of emotion besides lust, and I ain't here for that. I also don't want to rp with a little, innocent boy who can't attempt to throw a punch.

Characters!
If you like them more than my plots- I would be very excited for just a classic, soft romance.​

  alex

  

  Male | 22~ | Bi (50/50) | Often played as a Half-Demon | Snarky, Protective, Violent | Created in 2012
  Alex is probably my most comedic character, rarely holding a serious moment. He answers everything with jokes or violence. Usually, his character development & romance involve Alex realizing his humanity again. I tend to play him as this murderous, deflective monster with moments of softness. I enjoy playing him as this badass with a soft side. It usually comes out in the form of relearning his empathy. This is still very difficult to do, and sometimes he lashes out with moments of violence. He usually believes himself soulless when he commits these barbaric acts. In the end, Alex always enjoys expressing his power and hurting those that oppose him, so he is not meant for a relationship with the faint of heart.
  
  Alex is almost always a half-demon, but his history is very flexible. Usually, he is born human and upon being murdered, is invited in by his demonic family to commit horrible acts. Alex's new life is violent, horrific, and dehumanizing. He fundamentally changes as a person, embracing a demonic lifestyle with time. His humanity never truly leaves him, but he pretends that it does under the pressures of his new family. His half-human origins are kept a secret as long as possible, but it seems to be common knowledge to other, older demons. (Yes, I loved Inuyasha as a kid, why do you ask?)
  
  He was originally played as a demon that ate humans. It was simple, underdeveloped, and removed from later versions. I would like to reintroduce some form of cannibalism in a plot. Give it a Sweeney Todd vibe, just with less brooding.

  cameron

  

  Male | 24-30 | Gay | Often Human | Quiet, Serious, Spiteful | Created in 2016
  Cameron is a very serious, intriguing character to play. He is collected and calculating but has been portrayed on both extremes of the moral compass, like a Serial Killer and a Detective. He can be kind and careful or aloof and obsessive. Cameron is very loving either way. He is very protective and possessive at times but tries to avoid controlling behavior as a result. He is grateful and appreciative, always picking his words with care to explain exactly what he needs to portray, whether that is to calm your character's mind or convince them of his innocence. His eyes are a dark blue set in a face of angular, striking features. He is my tallest character at 6'5, and built lean. His pale-blonde hair is natural.
  
  He is usually a scholar of some kind and working in a highly skilled field. He can be a professor, therapist, doctor, or a criminologist. As a young man, he usually went for remote work such as IT contract work or freelance.
  
  He usually has a younger brother, Jonah, an unintentionally selfish socialite and a terrible friend. He is bursting with charisma that makes others turn a blind eye to his antics. They don't usually talk about their childhood.
  Cameron's slightly younger twin brother, Michael, is the black sheep of the family. They are fraternal and the family finds it easy to distinguish them from each other. Michael is usually portrayed as an unhinged, volatile version of Cameron's darker tendencies. They have become estranged into adulthood.
  Sometimes, I will also give Cameron a younger sister, but not often.
  
  Cameron's mind is almost always a dark place, but it has its lows and highs. I can agree that writing romance as a 'medicine' is bad practice, but I've met examples of this and loved it. It is by far not permanent, usually just an inspiration for change that can come and go. I usually write Cameron this way.
  
  
• adam

  Male | 15-20 | Bi (Male Leaning) | Often played as a Wendigo | Viscious, Gullible, Apathetic | Created in 2017
  Adam is my strange child. He is near silent with a murderous bitch-face set to a hundred. His goal is to repel the humans around him and uses his destructive personality as a weapon. I enjoy putting him in situations where a patient person could show Adam that his loneliness is a choice.
  He is an orphaned wendigo who has trouble acclimating to human society once pushed into the foster system. He does not relate to any of his peers during his school years. His aggressive persona is brutal and insulting. Adam has a very lonely existence due to this, and will usually try to escape human society at 19, and most likely won't live past 22 without intervention. His homeschooling education was very elementary, only having a basic reading level and mathematics skills. His homeschooling from his parents was unstructured and very flippant, leaving him behind once he went to high school after their death. He never really caught up.
  
  While humans themselves don't scare them, he is extremely prejudiced towards them for the violence they had towards his parents (which could be from a group of hunters that mistook Adam for human.) He will usually find solace in another supernatural creature. If shown kindness, Adam has a very compassionate side to himself that has been starved for attention since before being uprooted from his life. His parents were not very affectionate, only teaching him how to survive in their way of life.
  
  A genderbent version is also possible, named Dahlia.
  
  I don't watch anime, but ppl keep calling him a tsundere lol.

  calliope

  

  
  Female | 16-20 | Bi (Male-leaning) | Often Human | | Created in originally in 2013, revised 2017, 2020
  
  Layla is a dreamgirl visage that doesn't want you to pry any deeper than that. Layla's actions are easily manipulated for the sake of romance.
  Layla's thoughts and whims scattered. She changes her outfit to fit the reputations she seeks or the feeling she wants to portray. Usually white laces with modern trends gives her an innocent vibe. Her selfish actions will ruin that image with time.
  Layla's sense of right and wrong are slightly impaired. She becomes a little non-committal at the worst, but she can forgive horrible behaviors, usually landing her in the arms of an antagonist. Layla's story usually revolves around being juggled by toxic men and lacking strong, female support. She can lead herself down destructive paths but put on a show of beauty. She can get easily dragged into more delinquent behavior, and her spontaneous nature might get her caught up in the worst of it.
  Her strength comes from prevailing the consequences and the lessons they will eventually teach her. Layla's development usually leads to a wise understanding that comes from endurance and pain.

  rat

  16-20 | Male | Gay | Human | Playful, Flirty, Non-Commital, Self-Destructive - Usually prone to substance abuse that can lead down a dangerous road of homelessness or self-sabatoge. He is a prodigy robotics engineer with ADHD. Rat doesn't take care of himself without supervision or close friends that check in on him. Rat tends to spiral and obsess. He usually comes from a well-off, middle-class house. Dating is always a playful game for him, and true love is difficult for him to realize and express. He can be bratty and impulsive, leading to hurtful mistakes. Created in 2014.
  
  
  alva

  Immortal | Female | Bi (Female leaning) | Minor Deity, Forest Guardian | Disconnected, Aloof, Serious - Alva was a victim of horrible acts. The forest she was murdered in granted her spirit the succession of the role of Forest Guardian, cursing her assailant to the body of a snake. Being a mage, the snake countered the spell, becoming a large, great Basalisk snake, and sticking by his victim's side. Alva has no memory of the events of her death, and unfortunately sees the snake as a bothersome companion. She is capable of great strength and wrath when her forest is endangered, but she is unaware of the foe she lies next to. Created in 2018.

  soft romance

  I am specifically craving a soft romance with Cameron, Alex, and Adam. They are my absolute favorites and I haven't seen them in a new setting in a long time. I always like something supernatural where they've got an antagonist to go after.

  Therapy

  Muse A is a serial killer with a chip on their shoulder that no one can understand. They're living in a downward spiral, approaching an explosive breakdown where they planned to off-themselves after performing their magnum opus of a mass murder. They've wanted this for a long time.
  
  Until they're forced into therapy.
  
  This could be a work requirement, an intervention from a relative, or court ordered. Muse B is their therapist.
  
  Muse B has seen it all. They've been dealing with violent patients for awhile and have a clinical, sympathetic approach to the worst horrors in Muse As head. Maybe Muse B is a little too understanding? How healthy can a romance between the two of them be?

  we came as romans

  

  Gods are being awakened throughout the summer of 2020 with humans as their "vessels", awaiting some stupid prophecy about the world ending.
  As each God comes forward, they are made into instant celebrities. The first to announce themselves, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, denounces each fake claim and highlights their real siblings. Athena says the last God to wake would be Zeus, who would call them all to action for whatever they are meant to do for humanity.
  
  Muses A and B have a history together and still care about each other. When Muse A first claims themselves as Persephone, Muse B is worried about their safety in what some speculate to be an upcoming war between Hades and the Olympians. Hades' Unknown Vessel is Public Enemy #1, and Muse B worries for Persephone's part in all this.
  A week before Zeus, Muse B awakens as Hades, and now the two characters may be on the opposite sides of a war.
  (Genders do not matter to me, I also think it would be fun to play all the gods, I italicized the significant players of this plot)

  I will play either Cameron as a serial killer at the end of a glorious killing spree with a heavy remorse, or Alex as a man cursed into a demon after consuming human flesh, but it controls his daily life and he wants to stop. Your character wants them to get back into it in full-force. Your character could have any number of motives- they want to weaponize them, they’re a manipulative sociopath, or are volatile killers-to-be.
