What's up, I'm Ollie, revamping my search thread for the upcoming year! I'm a 19-year-old environmental biology major in college, residing within the EST timezone. I use any pronouns, and I have a pretty good job as a scriptwriter and audio editor for fictional podcasts. My hectic schedule sometimes makes me disappear for a day or two, as my work load can be demanding at points, but I try to keep my partners up to date on whats going on if I can.
With 10 years of writing experience, I post a minimum of 3 paragraphs per post, with starters being upwards of 8. I'm very much a quality over quantity sort of person, though, so I won't ever stretch my replies for the sake of getting them to be longer. I use proper grammar and try my best to keep everything spelled right, and I like to write in 3rd person past tense. When it comes to characters, I like to write multiple, usually with one main character and a few side characters. I just find it fun to extend the world. I prefer m//, f//, and nb/a to m/f, but I'm also happy with no romance. I love OOC, but it's not required, and if I disappear for 3 days I do encourage partners to nudge me.
Final note: I also am open to people suggesting their own plots! However, I do reserve the right to tell you no, hah. But I'm usually very open to many things.
If interested, PM me or post below.
And here are the rules! Which are very important, please follow them, it isn't that long a list.
- Please be literate! I used to accept anything over one liners, but I've found that I really get more into a plot when my partner gives over 2 paragraphs. Quality over quantity, but please be willing to write a little bit per post!
- I won't roleplay fandom unless it's strictly OCs; the worlds in which I'm willing to roleplay in are listed under a tab!
- I'm ditch friendly, and don't need a warning, but if you're comfortable with it I'd prefer it.
- Please be patient! I have a very sporadic schedule, and I'll try to keep up OOC chatter.
- Please plot with me! I know you have opinions.
- Please please please don't take the plots that have names attached to them, those are being used for other things as well.

A colony ship is on a mission to reach a new, possibly inhabitable planet in lieu of Earth dying. On the way, someone begins to try and sabotage the mission, along with other weird sci-fi happenings. **
A crew is brought together to explore the mysterious fog that has rolled in far off from the coast and has seemed to show no signs of leaving, where many ships and people have gone missing without a word. Each crew member has different motivations for the trip, some that may clash on the weeks-long journey, especially when things go sour. ***
Character A runs a haunted flower shop. Character B is the mischievous ghost that haunts said shop. Character B seems to think that Character A is the one that killed them, and that’s why they’ve set out to make Character A miserable. Character A knows that they haven’t killed anyone, thank you very much, and they set out to find who dunnit.
Character A is an assassin. They're used to going in, getting a job done, and leaving without anyone else figuring out what happened. Unfortunately, their plans keep getting thwarted by a civilian that seems to know their every move. Character B is able to keep A's targets alive in a pacifist manner every single time, and A isn't sure how the hell they do it.
Character A is a talented wizard that is trying to get into S.E.W, the Society of Esteemed Wizards. Unfortunately, they get noticed by the royal family, and hired to do damage control for Character B, the royal magician, who is extremely powerful, but can't cast a single spell to save their life without something going wrong.
A lone lighthouse keeper, character a, finds an amnesiac, character b, on the shores of where their post is stationed. Unsure what to do, character a brings b inside and helps bring them back to health. Unbeknownst to possibly both of them, b may be harboring a dangerous secret. **
Character a's sibling/family member/lover/whatever went out to sea a year ago and, a month into their journey, fell out of contact and went missing. Distraught, character a pays a ships captain, character b, an extremely large sum of money to take them on the same path their loved one followed in hopes of finding them. ***
MODERN SUPERNATURAL
- WHATEVER HAPPENED TO JONATHAN GREEN: After a camper disappears from Sunny Shores camp, a few campers band together to figure out what happened to him, and to find out what is causing the weird happenings around the lake.
- THE INN-BETWEEN: The Inn-Between is a inn found on the plane between life and death. Like purgatory, it is where lost souls go when they can't move on. The employees try their best to make sure everyone gets a chance at the afterlife.
- OLD UNIVERSES: In the future, almost everything has died out. All thats left down on planets are ruins of past civilizations. Any living organisms, alien or human, now are on scavenger ships, flying the universe without purpose. The catch is, however, that none of them know what happened, and why all society has been wiped from existence. **
- ORIGINS: After a dimension hop gone wrong, a crew crash lands in the past. They soon realize that they have altered the time line, and that they are what society viewed as the greek gods.
- DEPTHS: Empyrea-12 is the most well known prison in the galaxies. Its basically its own planet, with its own system of gravity that can be shut on and off. However, its also built ontop of layers of OLD prisons that were used in the past; levels that are now abandoned and left to disrepair. After being falsely accused due to some devious plot, [ character ] finds themselves in what is known as the 'depths', on the run from the guards with several others, some of whom are legitimate criminals that were there for good reason.
- ASHEN PLAINS: In a futuristic world, a planet is covered in biopyramids where everyone lives. Each one is separated into a different sort of 'biome', with different ways of life such as cities and ranches, with different ways to get energy, such as solar and steam, and it's hard to get between pyramids due to strict laws. When a company start distributing 'Liquid Luck', a substance that makes you extremely lucky for a set amount of time but comes with the downside of being addictive, the pyramid system as a whole starts to fall apart, due to various reasons. **
- OF GOOD INTENTIONS AND BAD LUCK: The year is 3099, and space travel is now a common thing among the population. Aliens are well known, many worlds have been explored, and society is thriving. A group of mercenaries-turned-interstellar-search-and-rescue are sent to an abandoned planet to find the crew of a research vessel that hasn’t checked in for a few days. Instead of finding the crew, they end up unearthing a secret that they could kill them if anyone found out, but could destroy entire planets if kept under wraps.
- HILLSDALE: Stuck on a bus when the zombie apocalypse started, the Hillsdale Hornets, a highschool baseball team, must learn that teamwork isn't only important to the game. Their survival might now depend on it. **
- THORNBURROW: After the plantpocalypse starts, the city of Thornburrow is sectioned off, leaving the survivors to die. After 2 years, a group bands together to find out what caused it.
- GEOCACHE!: In a modern day world filled with elves and dwarves, Geocaching has become popular. However, it is different from OUR version of geocaching. This is a dangerous, competitive sport. Those who play are like celebrities, taking on quests from the geocache app and going to the dangerous dungeons and areas where the caches are hidden. The rewards? For one, any object put into the caches will have a magical property when retrieved by the next group. The other is, if you become good enough, you will be entered in the championship, to compete against other players and teams for a generous cash prize. **
- ACCIDENTAL HEROICS: Magic is banned. That has been a rule for many, many years. The only people allowed to use magic are the three heroes, raised from childhood to wield artifacts that are able to bond with someone. These people are trained to be heroes, and to bring the artifacts to their proper temples, never to be used again til the next batch of 'heroes' comes along. A petty thief accidentally ends up stealing one of the artifacts, the Book of Knowledge, and bonding with it, so its intended wielder no longer can.
- THE WIND MACHINE: The gods are gone. All that's left of them are god stones, scattered across the land, filled with power that could kill anyone that attempted to use them. This has caused issues. The land below the floating islands is now flooded, and all the poor, unfortunate people are stuck in a dangerous, watery apocalypse. Meanwhile, the floating islands are faltering, beginning to fail. Sky travel, by air ships, is now very dangerous without the help of the wind god. However, when an inventor is captured by a band of pirates, its found that they have found a way to wield the power of the god stone of wind through a machine they built. **
- END OF LIGHT: A lighthouse caretaker is stuck down in a watery apocalypse, in the world mentioned above, making sure that their lighthouse is always running for the safety of others. They must do this no matter what, and they face various problems, including storms and angered sea monsters. **
- DEAR CARNATION: Moving to a new town was hard. Finding out how weird it was was even harder. With things ranging from walking flowers being considered citizens to a unseen news anchor being considered a benevolent god, its going to be hard to stick around.
- AFTERLIFE: A bunch of people, 17 to 22 in terms of age, find themselves stuck in a boarding school of sorts without any memory. The staff claims that its so they can heal from a disease, which is tracked by a white band on their wrist, but there seems to be more going on. Once people in the Afterlife program begin to die mysteriously, it becomes apparent that something must be done.
