Reposting (and reworking) this idea since the first version of it flopped before it really got off the ground. If you're gonna write with me, please post semi-frequently and be in it for the long haul. Absolutely no groups. 1x1 only. Bonus points for using Discord but not required.
The basics:
There is a yearly festival called the Festival of Colors. It's a celebration of culture and peace on the anniversary of the Armistice of a long, complicated war in which three nations were involved: Azurei, Vyyrica, and Rhylea. Long story short, at the end of this war Vyyrica (the larger of the three) sort of dominated the other two and has attempted some colonization in small amounts. Since Rhylea has some cultural similarities to Vyyrica and doesn't have quite as strong a military, they accepted this smoothly enough and the two nations have been getting on fairly well since. To celebrate this union and the end of the war, The Festival of Colors is held annually. It's full of exchanging customs, swapping stories, F O O D, and a lavish display of each nation's colors.
Azurei, however, was not so stoked about the outcome of this treaty. They felt like their way of life was being threatened by attempted colonization and what little natural resources they had were at risk. Few citizens attend the Festival of Colors and it's no secret to anyone that there is a quiet resentment brooding in the hearts of the Azurei. So at this year's Festival, they attack the event and rekindle the flames of war.
My Character (an Azurei) happens to be at this event and quickly becomes a suspect. However, she is also half Rhylean and in the wake of this event must choose where her loyalties lie.
Your character should be from one of the other two nations (your choice). Whichever one you pick, I'll sort of 'give' to you so that you can create a culture of your own. The other we will build and develop together.
This is only a jumping off point for the plot and I hope that from there, we come up with something together. That's usually how I roll. Perhaps our characters make attempts to de-escalate the impending war? Maybe there's more to it somehow, like another, 4th nation is using the Azurei's unrest to benefit themselves in some way, and there's some sort of conspiracy going on? Maybe your character convinces mine to use her understanding of the culture/language to find the people responsible and bring them to justice? Something else? Always up for suggestions.
Setting wise I was thinking like, maybe some kind of alternate universe, either with 'modern' technology or maybe it's more futuristic slightly? Either that or we could go with a classic fantasy sort of setting. It could honestly work in either.
Anyone interested?
