[OOC] The Destined (Soulmate RP)

[Kalmar]

@Not Fishing Alright I'll play...

I looked through quickly and My guessessss arreeee...Anne and Dairmud? I don't know...Seems like there are several possible good/bad combinations...

@Sterling

You're mostly right. I wouldn't say Dairmud is in the top two. But I think she would be #3.

Darius - Lauralin, Oriana, or Anne

@Emma

I think Anne and Laurelin would be Darius's top two (I'd say they're both equally suitable, but for slightly different reasons), but Oriana is not on my list at all. They may be from the same area, but they seem to have very little in common and little reason to actually get along.

My Arthur ships are Dairmund, Rhoslyn and Anne,

@Sisyphus

LE GASP

We're shipping our characters with the same people. Although I'd say Rhoslyn would be the fourth most likely for Darius.

I'm also friendshipping Ciara and Orianna - I think they'd get along well.

@Sisyphus

I'm friendshipping Darius with Arthur, and any of the four candidates I came up with if they don't end up his Destined. Is anyone enemyshipping?

@Tackytaff The first post in the characters tab doesn't count. There is 12 males and 11 females at the moment.

@Emma

I think that's what he was saying, hence "there should be an odd number." Currently there's twenty-four posts, and we need twenty-five.

Sneak preview of Darius and Arthur's friendship

[Kalmar]

I wish I could like, laugh, and thank a post all at the same time.

[Snagglepuss89]

Ahaha, the shipping wars have commenced.

Duncan enemyships himself. Other than that I need to reread some characters but nobody stood out particularly strongly.

[Tackytaff]

I'm sure it's been asked and answered but there are like 300 posts and I lazy. Are the final pairings going go be posted here? Pms? IC reveals?

[Snagglepuss89]

I'm half suspecting the GMs are trolling and they're just going to wait for ships to develop before going "Yep! That was totally them!".

Half suspecting.

[PhunkyPhoebe]

Do any of you ever SLEEP??? I'm gone for a night and there's another two pages added, sheesh.

I guess if we are talking in terms of Destined shipping, I see Rhoslyn with Rhys the most. Plus I also think it's kind of funny that they're names are so similar. Rhys Howell, Rhoslyn Lovell. Rhys and Rhos. I'm a sucker for alliteration.

No one else has really stood out other than that, maybe Arthur or Faolan. Honestly though, I'm MOSTLY saying Faolan because the FC is Jude Law and that man is.......he's the love of my life.

But anyway, I guess I should ask this question since I might not be understanding how pairing is going to work. When it comes to our Destined "soulmates," is it going to be a character with the same elemental ability? Or can it just be any other person with the Mark?

[Snagglepuss89]

Any person with the mark as I understand it.

It's a small detail, but an important one for some people like Duncan (Element wise he'd work best when paired with a Light elemental for example. For reasons that haven't been thoroughly elaborated on).

[Juno]

I don't really have any preferences for who Faolán ends up Destined with, or any pre-ships. Besides, it's more fun to end up with a tragic romance story choice between Ultimate Power and Twu Wuv.

Maybe one of the characters who doesn't mind being poor with a starving artist guard? =]

@Snagglepuss89

I take that bit back about pre-ships. Duncan/Faolán confirmed?

[Snagglepuss89]

@JunoI thought that was obvious from the moment the two of them were posted.

@Juno

I know as far Rhoslyn is concerned, she doesn't care much about meeting her Destined soulmate as much as running away from her family while the Festival goes on. I feel like it would be more realistic for her to end up bumping into said soulmate while trying to be sneaky and what not.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is that Rhoslyn doesn't care who she ends up with, as long as it's someone who's not going to be just like the family of nobility that she hates so much. She's a rich girl with mommy and daddy issues, what can I say? (Valid issues, though...I mean her parents were super abusive.)

Any person with the mark as I understand it.

@Snagglepuss89

Also this is something I haven't really thought too much about, and it's a good point. Since Rhoslyn's elemental ability is Lightning, I suppose she wouldn't be able to work out with someone who has water as their ability. Or earth. Maybe Air, Fire, or Lightning?

[Panic]

Also I want crazy hot and wild lesbian pirate adventures between Rhea and Nora, only for Nora to leave to make a name for herself on her own after a few happy years of plunder.

@Tackytaff

I didn't know this was exactly what I wanted but I wholeheartedly stand by this. Who needs their Destined when you've got pirate adventures!

According to this list, Nora gets around the most.

@Holy Soldier

Too bad she's going to be breaking everyone of their hearts and running off with Rhea instead.

@PhunkyPhoebe

That makes creating shipping names so much more difficult though! Rhyslyn? Hovell? Lowell? I suppose if they have a child it'll be imperative that their kid's name also start with an Rh to keep up the family tradition.

Besides, it's more fun to end up with a tragic romance story choice between Ultimate Power and Twu Wuv.

@Juno

I agree wholeheartedly — who needs a happy romance when they can suffer for it? Soulmate roleplays have so much opportunity for inner turmoil...

I'm curious, what does everyone look for in characters when you ship them? Similarities? Differences? General dynamic?

Also if anyone has relationship ideas, please hit me up :) I love discussing them. I have a couple myself and I may have to tag some people eventually.

[CollectorOfMyst]

@PhunkyPhoebe What is 'sleep'?

@Thorn

After their godmother Rhea obviously.

As for relationships, how would you feel if Rhys had some prior contact with Rhea. Wouldn't even have to be in person, as she doesn't visit the city much, but could be a fence for some of her goods?

@Tackytaff

That is genius. Rhy/Rho/Rhe.

And yeah that sounds awesome! I was thinking that having a sort of network for rogues could be fun; they could exchange goods and materials, keep an eye on each other's back and then betray and backstab them and generally cause mischief while stealing stuff together.

[Holy Soldier]

I suppose the GMs weren't planning for some homosexual destined. lol

@Tackytaff

Marvelous idea!

Also, I'm open to discussing any relationships with Rhoslyn. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to PM me or just talk to me here.

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Holy Soldier I think that the GMs already explained this. Because it's the Mother and Father, it'll be men and women. Though there's been no consensus on the actual presence or acceptance of LGBTQA+ people, we can assume they're probably present. They just aren't wingmanned by the gods.

[Snagglepuss89]

Duncan and Faolán being the exceptions of course.
