Mostly repeating what’s in my bio, but first the fun stuff: I am drawn to stories that dive deep into complex themes and character development, and I prefer to write in private messages where the story may involve gore, explicit violence, or anything overly ‘spicy’. I particularly love stories that explore what it means to be human, and I enjoy pushing the boundaries of that idea in various ways. [b]Favourite Themes:[/b] Romance, horror, Lovecraftian creatures, monsters, rebellion, post-apocalyptic futures (and pasts), super-soldiers, dark fantasy, angst, emotional resilience through hardships, modern magic, and fantasy. I’m also open to blending these themes or adding new ones as we brainstorm together. Don’t feel like you need to have a plot ready to go! Just send me a PM with your interests, and we can build something together. [b]Fandoms I’m Open To (though no canon characters):[/b] - [i]The Magnus Archives[/i] – No worries about spoilers! - [i]Control[/i] - [i]SCP Foundation[/i] - [i]Helldivers[/i] (No, I don’t actually know how either) - [i]Fallout[/i] - [i]Elder Scrolls[/i] - [i]Warhammer 40K[/i] - [i]Bioshock[/i] - [i]Vampire: The Masquerade[/i] --- [b]A Few Guidelines:[/b] - [b]Age 25+ only, please:[/b] I prefer writing with partners in my age range and am open to mature themes within those boundaries. - [b]Three paragraphs minimum:[/b] Quality over quantity always, but let’s aim for at least three paragraphs to keep the momentum going. - [b]Heads up on mobile writing:[/b] Sometimes I write on my phone, and formatting might get a little wonky. It’s not a rule—just something to be aware of! - [b]Multiple characters:[/b] I’m comfortable writing different genders and characters, though I don’t expect my partner to do the same. - [b]OOC plotting via Discord (not a requirement):[/b] I like fast-paced plotting, so if you’re comfortable with that, great! Don’t be intimidated by quick-fire brainstorming. - [b]Mature themes:[/b] We can discuss limits as scenes arise to ensure we're both comfortable with the direction of the story. - [b]Communication:[/b] If I lose interest or something comes up, I’ll let you know—and I expect the same courtesy in return. - [b]No kid-related themes:[/b] I feel like this needs to be said explicitly. --- [b]If you’re interested, send me a PM![/b] And if we’ve written together before and somehow lost touch, don’t hesitate to reach out again—I’m always open to reconnecting. Set characters I have pre-setup: (I have more but as yet without summaries) - nothing here can’t be edited, everything by can change! [hider=Abandoned Fledgling] Aidan is a fledgling vampire, of which clan he has no idea, he’s living on the streets and still has no real grasp of his transformation. Haunted by his embrace, he suffers with his memories of waking in a cell, starved until madness drove him to murder. Aidan has no real memory of his previous life, any scraps he can hold into he clings to like a lifeline. Aidan is plagued by his constant hunger, the darkness that whispers to him and his near complete loss of self. He finds solace in the shadows as the light hurts his eyes and avoids society unless the hunger drives him to hunt. He fears what he is, his first kill was made in instinct, brutal and enraged. All he can do is hide his features and hunt for the next victim to satisfy his unending thirst. Aidan only knows confusion and his will to live while he tries to navigate his new existence. [/hider] [hider=Unaware of inheritance] Kaleb Thorn is a 28-year-old human mercenary with a latent Thaumaturge or blood magic heritage, he remains unaware of this fact. He stands at 5'9" and has a lean, muscular build. He is skilled in combat, particularly with a longsword, and has honed survival and scouting skills. He has a carefree and charming persona but this masks a deep emotional trauma from childhood, whereupon he witnessed his mother's tragic death, a memory he has since suppressed. His father, a powerful Thaumaturge manipulates Kaleb without his knowledge. Kaleb’s Thaumaturge abilities occasionally manifest in enhanced reflexes, strength, an ability to sense blood and manipulate emotions. He though he remains ignorant of the source of his talents. He is haunted by repressed memories and carries a pendant that holds clues to his past. Kaleb is driven by a need to prove himself, often taking reckless risks, and struggles with trust and emotional vulnerability. His true heritage holds a grim fate: to fully awaken his Thaumaturge powers, he must spill the blood of someone he loves, a future his father plans to exploit. [/hider] [hider=Lord of Hungering Shadows] Sebastian Nightswood is the cursed Lord of Castle Nightswood, for all intents and purposes he resembles a vampire. He is a 250+ year-old human bound to an eldritch entity that grants him immortality but comes with severe consequences. A once human nobleman, Sebastian willingly accepted a curse to prevent the awakening of an eldritch entity, he became a conduit for its hunger. His immortality has left him without aging, but he suffers from burning when exposed to sunlight and must periodically feed on blood. This blood is provided willingly by nightly donations by the townspeople he protects. Sebastian's curse manifests a circular scar of interlocking symbols on his back is the contract rendered in scarred flesh. Though he passes each night in jaded resignation and hedonism, he cares deeply for his people and maintains their loyalty through respect rather than manipulation. His entitled and selfish behavior, born from centuries of existence, often masks inner resentment and mental strain from the constant presence of the eldritch force. While he possesses enhanced physical abilities, regeneration, and an eldritch aura that can warp reality, Sebastian's greatest weakness is his dependence on the blood offerings and his vulnerability to sunlight. His primary goal is to keep the entity dormant, maintaining the balance while continuing to live life on his own terms, uninterested in being a hero despite the sacrifices he made. [/hider]
