My name is Syrenrei and while I am new to this site, I am not new to RP. I got my start with text-based RP back in the days of AOL chatrooms and AIM at 14 years old. I graduated from there to IRC, Gaia, e-mails, RPN, and now here! I am 37 years old, so I've been at this for some time now. In most places I am considered "literate" or "advanced" as I prefer to write at least three paragraphs per post but often write considerably more. I will make every attempt to match what you produce.
RULES: 1. I am looking for a long term role-play partner. I have outlasted many RP partners thus far. =( 2. Please be able to post at least 3 paragraphs once a week. 3. You should be at least 18 years old, but I have a soft spot for people my age (30+). 4. I do not do fandoms. OCs only! 5. I play main characters that are female exclusively because I'm a jerk and require romance in my RP. REQUIRE. I will not pretend to be happy in a role play without romance. I've tried. I can't do it. Please, please, please don't reach out to me for RP if you don't like romance or will end up making characters that are not open to romance physically, emotionally, mentally, etc.
INTERESTS: World creation, nation building, etc. High and low fantasy, sci-fi, futuristic, urban fantasy, post-apocalyptic, medieval settings Social drama and political intrigue Arranged marriages, kingdoms embroiled in war, rebellion uprisings, anything with royalty and/or nobility Characters with major flaws
Plot Ideas
In a world with magic she is an anomaly. She is a font, a person incapable of magic themselves but able to produce copious amounts of raw arcana- and gift it to others. Their scarcity has made life for any font exceedingly dangerous. They are coveted by casters as one with their reserve at their disposal can perform great feats regularly with little recovery time. Her master, an elderly gentleman who prefers men to women and who no longer cares to use his magic, has sold her on the market.
My character= Female font Your character= Her New Master
This can take place in the modern day world or a completely fictitious one we create ourselves. While romance is necessary, how that progresses, and how your character feels about owning another is entirely up to you. While the lore does not allow the font to safely live free (as she would be hunted by casters eager to use her), there are ample opportunities for continuing conflict in the story.
CURRENTLY SEEKING A MODERN, FUTURISTIC, OR MAGICAL SETTING (HIGH OR LOW)! My two current RPs are medieval-ish, so I want something different. =)
Civilization nearly self-destructed with a war that left the world scarred and the surviving population a fraction of what it once was. From its ashes warlords emerged as they fought over territory and people. Now centuries later new nations have been established. One such nation is ruled by a monarchy who keeps the country unified but is unquestionably ruthless. To keep their bloodline strong, the emperor/king allows the citizens to compete for the hand of the prince or princess in brutal trials once they are of proper age. The victor elevates their family to nobility but at a cost- once they have had children with their royal spouse, they will meet an untimely demise. Even knowing this the 'breeding spouse' deems the contest worth the sacrifice.
Your Character= Prince or Winner of the Contest My Character= Princess or Winner of the Contest
This idea is from a partner I've had in the past. You may either construct the royal family yourself or I will do so. There are opportunities here to overthrow the dictatorship, to have siblings vying for power, and assassination attempts.
Most superheroes, or people otherwise affected by extraordinary circumstances, have an ability that can be used offensively or defensively. Hers is neither. She has the power of regeneration but no fighting prowess, no amplified agility, no inhuman strength, or other weaponry. She is just very, very hard to kill. She is the most literal version of a human shield and protects people as best she can- even though it is painful, even though she is lonely, even though she has lost hope of a normal life. Unbeknownst to her she has drawn the attention of those that want to harness her ability and figure out a way to recreate it- so that they may live forever. There is no ethical way to do this, so they will rely on the unethical.
My character= Modified/ superhuman Your character= See below
This could be set in the modern day or in the past- just so long as superpowers are extraordinary instead of commonplace. Your character could be a villain kidnapping her for experimentation, a similarly powered person with good intentions, or someone who simply sees what is happening and tries to intervene. I admit I have a slight preference for a more corrupt character being swayed over the course of the RP!
In times long past, the kingdom was like so many of its peers and tracked its lineage through the male bloodline; however, rumors and scandals arose about parentage that threatened the stability of the country. For practical reasons the culture has shifted over the last centuries and now the royal family (as well as much of the nobility) is traced through the maternal line- after all, it is hard to deny from what woman a child is borne when it is so easily witnessed. The queen has just passed, leaving behind several children, two of which are female. The eldest daughter has been crowned queen but has a predicament- unlike some of her other siblings she is unwed. Now with the responsibilities of ruling riding on her shoulders, she has married for political and/or economic gain, not having met her husband until their exceedingly formal marriage ceremony. All eyes are on her and her spouse- how will they rule? How quickly will they produce and heir? And how will they handle the whispering of war brewing at the border?
Your Character= The Queen My Character= The King
Your character may be a prince from another country, a noble man, or even a man of mixed fantasy heritage (such as a shapeshifter)- so long as you have a reason that your character's hand in marriage would be an attractive offer. Please note my character will be assertive, as she is a ruler, but I am NOT looking for a male character that is looking to be her sub plaything. Because of all the pressure on her she needs a counterpart that can allow her to 'rest' and not have to be 'in charge' constantly, who she can respect, and who could see her as more than a monarch. Also, while the kingdom is a matriarchy, men are still well-regarded. While there is some bias, there is no slavery based on gender or anything so extreme. This is NOT the Amazons.
Everyone knows of the tale of fallen angels who have succumbed to dark forces, but what of the other? Could a demon, a devil, a damned ascend to something more? She was born a demon but is not defined by her lineage. Her parents are unarguably malevolent but she is not like them. As she has disguised herself and gone into hiding, for the sake of her sanity, her very birth has faded to nothing but a myth. Some, however, know of her existence. Demons consider her an abomination and want her dead. The angelic order are divided on whether she is worthy of their attention or if they should recruit her to help boost their own forces. By trade she is a mercenary and has mortal enemies. Sooner or later there will be a reckoning and realization that not everything is black and white.
Your character= Any fantastical creature or ordinary person My character= A demon who is on a slow path of redemption/ascension
This is not tied to Christian mythos. When I have played this character before it has been either in a high or low fantasy world, but always with deities that were created with the setting. If you are comfortable taking a lot of liberties with the Christian mythos, we could adapt it, but this works best in a more fantastical setting, such as an alternative Earth-like world in which some magic exists.
It is a world without magic, but it wasn't always this way. If the stories are to be believed, once a witch was able to summon people from another world, and when those people arrived in the kingdoms they developed fantastical powers. They were the heroes and villains of legend, as were their children who had some magic in their blood, and those after them. But the spell was only cast once and so the magical blood has been reduced to nothing in the current day. A king and queen without children or an heir are desperate. The queen, who blames herself for their infertility, researches the blood magic rituals the witch used, and casts the summoning spell with great difficulty and the ultimate sacrifice- her life. She pulls one, two, or more people from Earth to her world, hoping they will be successors to the throne, and save them from the greedy empires on their border.
My character= Preferably a woman from modern-day Earth yanked to this other world Your character= Either a man also drawn from modern-day Earth, or a person of your choosing in the world in which this takes place
I am totally flexible on what magical powers my and/or your character develop when they are drawn to this other world. The world in which this takes place does not have people with magical abilities save witches who cast blood spells, which have a high cost of literal blood and very little effect.
I am pretty open to most stories as long as they (and the setting) are not horribly tragic. As long as you don't plan to kill off our main characters I am game. Please feel free to reach out to me via private message or on Discord (Syrenrei#3184).
A Bump for a Friend <3 This is not favoritism, she's a great RPer and makes fully fleshed out characters that are the furthest things from Mary Sues. 11/10
Because I for some reason think maybe, just maybe, I can take on one more partner...
I am looking for someone willing to do one of the three above plots or something like it, with a strong preference for "Font" because of magical system shenanigans.
If I am already in a RP with you, I AM by NO MEANS AM DROPPING YOU, so please do not panic! You are lovely, wonderful people. <3
My arranged marriage partner has had to take a hiatus from RP to focus on his real life. As such, I am seeking a royal arranged marriage plot ONLY. It can either be one of the ones presented above or one of your creation. If you had previously reached out to me and disappeared, but these ideas now exited you, if you pinky swear not to vanish again I'm happy to hear from you!
I think I am down to one current RP partner, so I am entertaining picking up another RP!
Please DM me if you are interested. And don't feel constrained to my plots- I am happy to consider more than what I have listed here. If you have a burning desire for a story you haven't found an appropriate partner for, but think I could be a good fit, let me know! The most important thing to me really is communication and someone who will stick around past the first few posts.
At this time my current RPs are fade-to-black, so I am only looking for one that is not.
I am open to historical but I don't want 'slice of life' wherein there is no overarching conflict, issue, or problem for our characters to face that is somewhat extraordinary. Give me something to write that is not part of my daily life!
I apologize to anyone who messaged me last month. One of my RP partners came back and saw my post, and I got so excited it ended up consuming all my attention for a bit as I refreshed myself on where we left things off.
I am tentatively opening this up! I typically raid Tuesdays and Thursdays, but as the expansion is several months out, I have a LOT more free time than I've had previously. That being said, I remain committed to my current three partners (especially the lovely Dagger who keeps me on my posting toes) so I will only be taking one new partner.
Of the plots posted, I'd most like to revisit The Font concept, barring the return of Kymera!
Tentatively re-opening this thread because I am down to two active RPs and I'd like to have three!
If you are interested, please PM me and let me know what concept(s) intrigue you as well as what YOU are looking for in a RP. I'd love to have someone contributing their own ideas to our story, not chained to mine alone, and it's also better if we know what we both want so there isn't a conflict months later because there is a misalignment.
I'm also open to re-starting any RPs that have come to a stop for any reason, so let me know if you were a partner and our RP died.
Last note: I really flourish in interpersonal conflict and am not looking for anything TOO dark. I am not great a non-magical combat, so keep in mind a gritty, melee-heavy, action epic where every NPC is against us, nothing good happens, or we are struggling to survive is not at all my strength or area of expertise. I'm more interested in mystery, romance, drama, politics, and magical shenanigans!
After a year, it is that time again. Looking for another partner, maybe two! Definitely interested in other folks' plots or making entirely new ones if none of the ideas here suit.
On the prowl again! Craving a dystopian or supernatural RP. I haven't been able to nail down and keep a good story with magic for a while, and am open to any ideas with magic OR that take place in a setting that isn't medieval (as both my current RPs are in a medieval non-magic setting).
Looking for perhaps one more partner. I'm specifically interested in one of the following: -> A darker, more twisted story -> A modern or slightly futuristic setting
Please PM me with your prompts if you like! If you are picky, you can peruse my thread RPs on the forum and see my general writing style. I rarely am able to keep myself writing any less than three paragraphs, and can also write 8+, though I'd prefer not to be churning out huge pages of text each post as that inherently limits character interactions in my experience!
I do not do anthro stories (sorry folks!) but almost everything else is on the table.
I've read some fabulous 1x1 ICs but wasn't sure I was up to anyone else's snuff, so don't assume I read your IC and was disinterested. Chances are I just didn't think myself worthy, so reach out if you think I'd be a good match for you!

Tentatively looking for a couple more stories as most of my partners have (understandably) slowed down to real life events. I'm specifically most interested in darker, less heroic male leads, and am open to a variety of plots not limited to what is on this interest check, which desperately needs updating.
Shoot me your idea and/or character concept and/or interests in a PM if you think we'd be a good match!
