It's been a while since I've done this, so I'm a little rusty. This check will probably get a couple of facelifts because of it. If the title drew your interest, hopefully I'll be able to win you over with my IC. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk about RPs or even pitch some of your own ideas. Just don't reply here and ask me to PM you! People that do that are the worst! I'm very patient and picky, the search for a partner is always a challenging one. Besides sharing interests and views, chemistry is also very important. So I'm looking to chat a little with you OOC before committing to anything.
-I'm a male who prefers to play males -I'm open to play multiple characters, and in the RPs that I want to play that's needed. But I always have at least one main, a male lead if you will, and build around that character -I check the site regularly through the day and generally do one RP post a day -Real life can get in the way though, but I will give a headsup if I can't post for a while -I like 18+ in my RPs, but not smut for the sake of smut. It can depend on the partner and the story, but the story is always plot driven and the sex scenes add to the story. -Writes in the 3rd person
-Over 18, just like me -Is able to develop characters and contribute to the story. -Is willing to talk OOC, I'm not super chatty but I don't want it to be cold business like either. The talk will likely be just about the RP, but let's be friendly. :)
So what I'm hoping to do is something that I had a lot of fun doing in my teens, back then I was very into Harry Potter and some of my favorite RPs where set in AUs where the players put their own spin on canon characters. A good example would be Harry as a Slytherin. Also I really loved those next generation type of stories where the kids of canons had adventures of their own. But I just have a soft spot for that kinda thing, I always love it when a series has an epilogue where we get to see the kids. :P
My main preference will be an AU, currently I'd really love to try a Rhaegar Lives AU where Jon is the second prince. But I'm open to other scenarios as well, and wouldn't be opposed to a next generation type of thing either. Whichever it will be, it will still be in the style of show/books. So political drama, depraved nobles, the threat and cruelty of war, etc.
My ideal partner has seen the show but also read the books, just like me. Someone who can write at an advanced level, I don't have any strict rules on post length and usually I find a good balance with my partners. Certain situations ask for posts of varying lengths after all. I guess an average post would be 3-6 paragraphs. I really want to explore the lore and the world, flesh out these characters and see what things would be like this AU setting. I love romance in RPs, but it's important that things happen organically. It's been years since I actually encountered a forced romance myself, but those are just the worst! Haha. Kinks can be discussed in a PM, but I'm pretty flexible and open to try new things. Don't be afraid to pitch anything with me, at worst I will politely tell you that it isn't for me. :)
Pairings/Characters:
As I said, I'm not looking to do a typical pairing. I like to put our own spin on these characters, perhaps do a little OC stuff or give a character some screen time that hasn't seen much in the canon. For now these are just characters I would like to play myself or I would like my partner to play
-Jon: My favorite, really this entire search began for my desire to play an AU version of him -Rhaegar -Jaime
Only have one worked out so far but I intend to add a couple of more over the next couple of days
283 AC
The Battle of the Trident decided the battle. The Usurper's warhammer struck a grave blow to the prince but it was in the end Rhaegar that stood victorious. This ended Robert's Rebellion but the Mad King could not remain on the Iron Throne. Rhaegar and his troops rode South, where they met the Lannister forces. Against Aerys' orders the gates were opened, and the Mad King attempted to burn down the city but Jaime Lannister prevented that by slaying his king. His wife and mother of his two children were safe, but when he finally reached Dorne where Lyanna was kept safe, he discovered that his second wife had died in childbirth.
The boy was taken with him to the capitol and Rhaegar began his reign. Over many years he mended the relationships between the kingdoms and Great Houses that had led to the Rebellion, the consequences of his father's reign. But though he had survived the war, the wounds had always lingered. Rhaegar was a great king but his health was always an issue and no matter what the maesters did, at best it seemed like they could prolong his life.
The King had to prepare his heir to finish his life's work, but would prince Aegon be worthy? Even in his early years it seemed as if there was too much of his grandfather in him. There were those that feared another reign of the Mad King, and there were those that flocked to the prince as they sought to exploit this. And far from the capitol was the threat of another Mad Prince, this one older. Prince Viserys had never forgiven his brother and always saw Rhaegar's health as an opportunity. His ambition and madness fueled by the supporters that whisper into his ear.
Both Mad Princes have intentions to take their sisters, Rhaenys by Aegon and Daenerys by Viserys, and make their claim once Rhaegar passes. Though both seem to grew restless and willing to help speed things along. Now summer has ended and we seem in for a bloody fall, Rhaegar is doing his best to prevent another war and to help keep the peace in the realm. Ignoring the rumors about his son and trying to shape him into a worthy heir. But the tension in King's Landing made him decide to sent his second son away. For his own safety and for the good of the realm, to prevent yet another faction forming around another claimant. A marriage pact was to keep the boy safe and away from the game of thrones.
-----
It could go a lot of directions, the prince could go South to Dorne to become Arianne's betrothed. Or perhaps to Highgarden to marry Margaery as the Tyrell's hope to influence the royal family to combat their Dornish rivals. Or perhaps to the North? The Westerlands? For this I really hoped to a classical betrothal story. Characters with their own flaws and ambitions thrust into an arranged marriage, meanwhile tension and war looms over them.
Perhaps set in AU where magic is more present? I would like to explore something where the Warging and Greensight plays more of a role in the story. Jon as a more Daemon the rogue prince type or Daemon Blackfyre and gaining the mentorship of the Three-Eyed Crow. Maybe leading to dreamwalking and timetravel/alteration shenanigans.
That it's for now. Again, shoot me a PM if you are interested. :)
