Right, so. I had an idea for a relatively short (Who am I kidding?) plot. I'll write out a quick outline of the idea itself and we can discuss it further if anyone is interested.
The initial premise is this: A bold crew of norsemen are raiding around the Christian Kingdom of Cornwalum in West England. They take the fortress of a minor Lord with the intent to raid while he is away, the fort is lightly guarded by only a handful of fighting men making it a tempting prize.
By a twist of fate, during the time that the raiders are sacking the fort the same lord killed what few guards the vikings had left to protect their ships, and set said ships all aflame on his way back towards the fortress leaving the raiders trapped. With intent to hunt down the norsemen, the lord sends a scout to warn the fort of the happenings, and ends up finding out about the situation in his fort.
Now the norsemen are trapped in the fortress with the lord's army outside, they have no ships and could be set upon by reinforcements at any time. The only bargaining chip keeping them alive is a relative of the lord who is trapped with them inside the fortress they captured, be it his wife, daughter, son, etc depending on player's preference. I will be playing one of the Norsemen forced into a position of power amongst his crew during the introduction of the plot.
I feel the the plot has plenty of potential for character development from the outset, be it Stockholm syndrome, genuine appreciation of one another's cultures, romantic feelings, a brotherly rivalry etc you name it.
A few things you should note when considering choosing to roleplay with me. First and foremost I don't do erotica/smut, nor do I much enjoy romance RP. If the idea of romance evolving organically is compelling then I am more inclined to humour it, perhaps even enjoy it, but otherwise it feels awkward and forced. If you're looking for a fluffy romance plot you will be disappointed, it might be that you are disappointed if you're looking for any kind of romance plot here. I also try to avoid writing my character's thoughts as I much prefer having roleplayers guess how characters are feeling through descriptions of body language, I'd prefer if you did the same. As for post size, I don't expect a novella, post as little or as much as you feel the current post/scene needs. Oh yes, and I should note that I've no preferences when it comes to RP-partner's ages and genders as long as they are over 18.
