[COLOR=yellow]([I]I'd greatly prefer our characters be relatively experienced, rather than them just starting out or beginning their journeys.[/I])[/COLOR] Highspirited adventures and journeys, that's the ticket. Ideally, a sort of rom-com deal with plenty of fluffy funtimes between two traveling trainers/Coordinators/Frontier Brains/Elite Four members/whatever crushing on each other, with plenty of lighthearted—and lightheartedly smutty—slice-of-life moments (a Pokémon capture, a tournament or festival battle encounter Meet Cute, those sorts of things). [b]Plot Bunny 2[/b] Our characters [b]being childhood rivals[/b] who reunite several years later as adults during an annual meet n' greet for newly-minted Elite Four members/Top Coordinators/Gym Leaders (especially if they specialize in the same type)—or returning as professors at some elite Pokémon academy—also has some appeal. [b]Plot Bunny 3[/b] I'd certainly be open for some [b]slice-of-life lines[/b] exploring the day-to-day aspects of our characters' careers (training, being in the mood to celebrate after an especially intense/noteworthy victory, one needing reassurance after a narrow or devastating loss, etc.). [b]Plot Bunny 4[/b] For something with a [b]more female-led relationship[/b] vibe, I'd also be game for a line between a female of high position/authority (Champion, Frontier Brain, Elite Four member, Pokémon Prof, Top Coordinator, etc.) and her husband, trying to have a romance while being in the spotlight. [b]Plot Bunny 5[/b] Another idea I have involves [B]our characters being rivals and two of their generation's most talented figures[/B]. (I'd especially love it if they had sharply different approaches to both life and their fields, one being a fiery [I]force majure[/I] on the battlefield/stage, while the other's the calm eye in the raging storm.) You know, them being [URL=https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FriendlyRivalry]intense yet oddly-respectful rivals[/URL] and [URL=https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpiritedCompetitor]foils with an "iron sharpening iron" mentality[/URL], their prodigious skills eclipsed only by the captivating nature of how different they are. (It could also be their form of [URL=https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RivalryAsCourtship]courtship[/URL]. ;)) A constant shifting tide of counterplays where they trade victories regularly, and their cordial interactions in public always carried an undercurrent of competition that wouldn't fail to draw the media's attention. Of course, such constant power plays would (ideally) extend to more romantic matters as well. Something lighthearted and humorous with a vibe [URL=https://i.ibb.co/d4N2jxt/n-Qrdza8-Hl-W.jpg][B]like this pic[/B][/URL]. :p[/HIDER] [hr][hr] [CENTER]So if this admittedly niche interest draws your attention, please send me a PM that has all of the following [B][COLOR=#eb6b56](please don't reply on this thread)[/COLOR][/B]: ▷ What from this ad specifically interests you ▷ Whether you're looking for a one-shot, short-term, or long-term line ▷ Any RP pet peeves/dealbreakers you have (so we don't step on each other's toes) ▷ A writing sample or link to one (to see if we mesh style-wise, as well as it just showing confidence) ▷ Anything else you think I should know And if this ad doesn't interest or appeal (everyone has their own path; you just do you), I hope you soon find something more to your liking!
