Well, I think you know what's been going on in the world lately. Since I am effectively confined to my house for the foreseeable future, I think I'll be open for an additional RP slot.
I've been looking to tackle a fantasy roleplay. I wanted to take a common pairing, but give it a little twist. We all know the Princess and the Knight pairing and the typical story that entails, where the brave templar wades through a treacherous tower and slays a dragon to save the royalty, and live happily ever after. Or the Princess and her Guard, where the Princess is to be married to another kingdom and she ends up forming a forbidden love with her Guard, then the two run off to be together.
I wanted to try something a little different. The Princess here doesn't spend time cooped up in some castle. She's actually quite active and goes around doing heroic work herself. While she's still required to be accompanied by a guard, it's more of a formality as the Princess can more than take care of herself. Plus, the Guard has some wisdom and experience he likes to impart on his charge and he occasionally trains her.
I wanted to play off this pairing with a comical edge. The Guard is a straight-faced, professional, butler-esque type who can play off the Princess. The Guard is by no means terrible at fighting, as he does live up to the job description, he just rarely gets to fight, since the Princess is so capable herself. There's elements of comedy, action, and adventure as the duo go about their business.
If anyone is interested, feel free to DM! We can collaborate on a plot together from there and I'm already cooking up some ideas!
