Realistic or Modern Some historical ideas (MxF, detailed, doubling might be necessary)

[DaffodilsAndDragons]

Hi guys, just got a few historical ideas that I'd like to try out here!

All of these have a British setting!

DISCLAIMER: I'm looking for male characters to each of these RPs. If you like two of my ideas, we can do two separate RPs and double that way. I do like playing male, but these ideas are designed for my female characters. Please put effort into both roleplays!

DISCLAIMER PART II: Because I'm so desperate to do these ideas, I'm going to consider just playing the male role - but my partner playing female has really got to meet my standards. So if you can meet my requirements, create an interesting character, have knowledge of the era, and provide me with a writing sample above 500 words, PM me the deets!

What I want from a partner:

• Someone who is at least 15 years old.
• Two paragraphs per character you are writing for at the very minimum. I normally write more than and/or try to mirror my partner. Usual good standard of grammar and spelling.
• Characters must be well-thought out and realistic, I quite like making character sheets too. I almost always try and use realistic face-claims, so no anime please.
• At least two/three posts a week or more, and I like to RP over PM .
• Someone who enjoys chatting OOC, I like being friendly with partners! If you have a Discord or anything that's a plus.
• PLEASE PLOT WITH ME. I love thinking about stuff but I hate pulling all the weight!
• I want darker themes in these RPs, so please be comfortable with that.
• I'd quite like a writing sample just because of bad experiences.

[X] is female, and [Y] is male.

• Victorian
• Early 1900s
• First World War
• The Blitz

• 
  [X] is a naive country girl who has come to the city of London to make a living, perhaps the only thing a young poor person could strive to do. [Y] is a thug with a ruthless attitude who works for a larger network of frauds, thieves and murderers who roam the city and do their dodgy dealings. [Y]'s name is known to many - he always gets what he wants. The same rule applies when he stumbles upon [X], who has managed to snag a job cleaning and serving in a rough backstreet pub. [Y] immediately lusts after [X], and manages to seduce her during their frequent meetings at the bar. [X] knows little of the danger that surrounds [Y] both externally and internally, and falls for his charm. The two share a night together and [Y] feels unusually attached to [X]. Will the two grow a romance between them? Will [X] get dragged into a life of crime? Will [Y] show his true colours and snap? Will she put up with [Y]?
• 
  [X] is a young Welsh woman has just been employed as a housemaid in a grand house in the English countryside, the property of a family of aristocrats. She is part of an expansive set of staff. [Y] is the second son of the Lord of the house, often ignored by his parents who are devoted to their eldest son, he has become the rebel. [X] accidentally stumbles across him and the daughter of another family together in [Y]'s bed chamber after entering to clean, thinking she had left. [Y] asks [X] to keep the secret, and she does. It was then when [Y] really noticed [X], and when they crossed paths in the house, despite the awkwardness, they had the occasional conversation. [X] stupidly starts to fall for [Y], and unbeknown to her, he's starting to do the same. What happens when they begin a secret romance? Will [X]'s tough background be revealed? Will the guest who slept with [Y] come back to haunt him? What would happen if something happened to the oldest son, the heir - would [Y] be thrown into the spotlight, will [X] be revealed?
  
• 
  [X] is a newly trained volunteer nurse from England who is heading to a front-line camp hospital near the coast in France. [Y] is a surgeon in this hospital from a deprived background, having fought his way to get to his position. He cares deeply for his work and is in a constant battle with the superiors about the best way to save lives. The pair meet when [X] arrives, and [Y] is immediately intrigued by how distant [X] is. She only speaks when she's spoken to, she a little cold towards everyone except one of the other volunteer nurses. She has a bad habit of letting the soldiers have a smoke with her too. Through shared experiences, [X] finds herself warming to [Y] and vice versa - but the past she's been running away from is going to catch up with her and [X] is going to find out no matter how hard she keeps her secret.
  
• 
  Inspired in part by an episode of Doctor Who!
  London is being reduced to rubble part-by-part during the heights of the Blitz - but what happens to London's homeless? Specifically, to the children sleeping rough that were never evacuated? [X] is a young woman, a London girl through and through from a tough background, who has taken it upon herself to help these children. The plan she has derived is to scout out houses of wealthier individuals to sneak into while the air raids are happening, as the occupants will be in their shelters. She then gets the kids to spread the message, and they all arrive and steal some food and shelter themselves from the night - though taking a huge risk nevertheless. One night, something goes wrong during their usual procedure, and while the kids make it out and scatter from the house they are in, [X] gets caught by [Y]. [Y] is an older man (at least in his thirties), who used to teach in the local school. He managed to escape conscription due to a heart murmur, but is now living quite the solitary life. In a rage, he calls the police, keeping her captive. As they waited, [X] began to plead, telling him of her duty to these children and how she was only doing a wrong to make a right in the world. [Y] goes to answer the door to the police when they finally arrive, but turns them away. He asks [X] what he can do to help. What will the pair come up with? Will they face struggles? What happens as the war rages on and the threat from the skies worsens? Will they find romance amongst the hardship?

I'd love to give the Victorian rp a shot

 

[CastoffCaptain]

It's nice to see another history lover around. Good luck.

Pity I'm in two and soon to be three RPs already. I have a character I could tweak for the WWI one.
