a 1x1 search - OVERVIEW
Hello and welcome to my latest 1x1 search! I'm doing things a little differently from how I usually do this timeโthis is a character-based search, meaning I'm really itching to write two of my favorite OCs, so I thought I'd make a search specifically geared towards them rather than a specific plot! Please click the tabs for more info on each of them specifically, but in a nutshell, one of them is a hardened assassin with a soft heart and the other is a meek, gentle girl who hides much darker thoughts. I'll also give some more info on the general types of stories I think they would fit into, but I'm super open to hearing any ideas you might have for plots! I'm more eager just to write my babies than any particular plot. โก
A couple of quick notes about my preferences: I prefer if my partner is 21+. I'm 27 years old myself, and I just feel more comfortable writing with someone who isn't too much younger than me. I generally prefer modern stories to medieval fantasy, although I'm not opposed to (and actually love) adding supernatural/fantasy elements. I love a good urban fantasy! I'm also a huge weeb, so a lot of my inspirations come from anime and manga. And I love delving into darker topics in my writing. Of course, happy, fluffy moments are important too, but I really enjoy getting into characters' psychological scars and trauma and exploring them in an emotionally cathartic way. If you're looking for a more lighthearted story, I might not be the partner for you. :c Please let me know any triggers or limits you have, though, of course! I want my partner to feel safe and have fun!
I would also like to note that I work full-time from Monday to Friday, and, unfortunately, I'm not permitted to use any devices while I'm on the clock, so there is a sizable chunk of time each weekday when I'm not available to chat. However, I have a half-hour break at work, and checking Discord is always the first thing I do when I go on break, so I will be able to communicate then, and I'll also be online after my shift ends! Even though my schedule is busy, though, I'm very good at making time to write, and you'll never be waiting long for a post. I can shoot for every day if I really push myself; otherwise, every other day is a pace I can comfortably manage (and I'll always be up for OOC chatter, even if my brain is too fried to put together a well-written post). The longest you'll probably have to wait for a post is two to three days.
Thank you for taking a look at my thread! If you're interested, please feel free to either post here or send me a DM and let me know which of my babies you'd like to plot something with! โก
CHARACTER BANK
maylee - the assassin
Maylee is a tough, steely girl whose stern seriousness belies a compassionate and sensitive heart. In reality, she's an incorrigible bleeding heart, but said heart has scabbed over so many times that she hides it to protect it. She's also an assassin, having gone through harsh training from an early age and tying her self-worth to her performance as a weapon, while at the same time struggling with the harm she's caused and longing to do good. I'm looking for an action-based story with her regarding her work as an assassin. It doesn't have to specifically involve assassins, though, as long as the gist of "trained to fight from an early age" is there! For example, she could easily fit into an urban fantasy story where she's a demon hunter rather than an assassin. I'd love to really explore the horrific nature of her training, so a plot where both of our characters are assassins and trained together and we can explore that through flashbacks would be super great, but that's not a requirement! I'd also be down for something where said training was a little more out-there and involved things like human experimentation and superpowers, it doesn't have to strictly follow "real world" rules. Also, if anyone would be willing to do a death game/killing game plot with her, I would love you forever.
winnie - the wilted flower
Currently not really searching for this character. Winnie is a meek, unassuming girl, and purposefully so. Plagued by anxieties and fears, Winnie tries to shrink herself, to make herself as unnoticeable as possible, as she has come to learn that earning someone's attention more often than not leads to harm. Despite her timorousness, she is pleasant and sweet on the surface, always seeking to please people and be useful, but beneath her candy-sweet shell is a haunted girl filled with dark memories and thoughts. Please note that Winnie has suffered abuse in the past, and I would like to delve into her past and how it has affected her as part of the story. Winnie would work best in a more melancholy, character-driven story in a more realistic setting, but I am also completely not opposed to introducing urban fantasy elements or other fantastical things, so long as the setting still resembles a modern Earth. Winnie has dealt with some religious trauma in the past, so Biblical themes/mythology are very welcome. A possible plot is that your character and Winnie were best friends as young girls but lost contact and have a chance encounter as adults that leads them to reconnect. That's just one idea, though, I'm especially flexible for plots with Winnie!
