Haunts

A bit about me: I'm a 21 year old woman that's been roleplaying through most of my teen years, but I've gotten back into it and still crave writing in my adult life. I consider myself at least somewhat literate. I like to write at least 3-5 paragraphs per post (although I often write more depending on content). While I strive to post once a day (more if I'm particularly inspired), this has become difficult with my working lifestyle, so I'm looking for someone patient and understanding.
I love high fantasy. I personally enjoy some darker and grittier themes. I like to play multiple characters of all varieties and backgrounds, but my typical main character is male. I enjoy writing mean characters, or characters that can't be trusted, etc. I enjoy romance, but I don't like to focus on it or force it. I also like LGBTQ themes, because I relate to them, but I don't expect them if you don't find interest in them.
What I'm looking for: I'm looking for a partner that also enjoys high fantasy because that's what's been on my mind lately. I prefer someone 18+ that is cool with playing multiple characters as they come along. I'm looking for a partner with well-rounded characters, with flaws and failures. I don't want to sound like a snob, but I'd like a partner that takes some pride in their spelling and grammar, and someone that likes collaborative stories and discussing ideas.
These are some rough drafts of a couple ideas that have been playing in my head recently. Recently, I've been especially interested in the tropes of shapeshifters and "deals with the devil." I'm interested in hearing anybody else's ideas or their take on these. I've bolded the character that I prefer to play.
1.) Character A has recently been changed into a were-beast, struggling (and failing) to control the curse. After finding someone dead by their hand the morning after a full moon, they run away from home. Having almost given up hope, by pure luck they begin to smell something... inhuman. Character A follows the scent to Character B and confronts them. They seems to have some answers... and an offer to save Character A from their dreadful fate. Character B claims to be able to control the curse, if only Character A will return them with a favor. Character A accepts the offer, desperate, but later discovers that Character B is not what they seem. Instead, they have made a deal with a demon, who plans on harnessing Character A's powers for evil purposes.
2.) I was picturing this to be kind of set in a fairy-tale type fantasy world. A dragon has threatened a town for years-- demanding regular sacrifice of food/treasure in return for their mercy. In recent months, the dragon has ventured outside its hoard to kill innocents from the kingdom and destroy homes. Character A is a hero from the kingdom (perhaps of magical descent?) with the quest to enter the hoard. They successfully make their way into the ruins, and instead, they find what appears to be a human-- Character B. Character B tells them that they are the dragon, trapped by a witch to do her bidding. They offer Character A a great reward to help them break the spell.
3.) This one is based off an idea I saw on Reddit r/writingprompts and it really interested me. Character A is cursed. Once someone stops looking at them, they forget them completely. After being driven mad by the curse, Character A seeks help from the only place left they can think of. They take a journey to the mountains to seek help from Character B, a reclusive magician with a reputation for curing curses... but not without a price.
4.) Character A was abandoned at birth, and adopted by a human family. After they reach adulthood, they receive a message that the last member of their family has died. They discover that their family was of notable magical background, unintentionally leaving them with land and property. They are also left with a familiar; a shapeshifting servant, Character B, bound to serve the family.
The world I'm picturing for this is one where fantasy is normal, but it could also be a supernatural, human-based world. As to whether Character A figured out they had magical lineage, that's up to you. There's quite a few possibilities as to where we could go with this story.
If any of these ideas interest you, and you think we'd be good partners, I look forward to brainstorming!
