Timing Isn't Everything [advanced]

[Genkai]

You know the stories that talk about someone falling back through time? Either a modern day girl named Kagome falls down a well and finds herself in a feudal era Japan plagued by magic and evil. Or there's a semi-modern girl who falls back even further in time and wants to find a way forward? I'm a little sick of them, to be honest and it got me thinking about time and how interesting it would be if someone fell forward rather than backward. I would like us to both double, I want this out of the way before we go any further. I also want three to four paragraphs per character so you should be giving me anywhere from six to eight paragraphs. When we're doubling, it shouldn't be hard to give two characters attention but I've seen people "double" when they're really half-assing one role and it's pathetic. And annoying.

So if you're capable and dedicated, please keep reading.

So this idea can go in a few directions and I've listed out the general ideas below, whichever you are interested in, is the one we flesh out together. I don't like throwing plots or roles at people and hope they like it. I'd rather make something with my partner so we're both happy and equally contributing to the story. A happy writer is a lot easier to talk to than one who is sour and soft spoken.

1. Set in modern day, two people fall forward into the future which can be sci-fi or cyberpunk or whatever.

2. Set in a historical era of our choice (I'm keen on American Civil War, the 1970s, 1990s, or possibly set in Japan or the UK) and our characters fall forward into our modern day. The historical era can either be tweaked with fantasy and magic, or not.

2.5 A slight different from the second thought in that it's not historic but actually pure fantasy from Earth but in an odd time between say dinosaurs and whatever else. Or it could be another planet or ambiguous.

3. Set in the slight future, our characters fall forward into a mix of fantasy and post-apoc, while I'm not a fan of post-apoc because either it's taken TOO seriously by crazy buffs or not seriously enough and people forget about the slice-of-life art of survival.

I'm personally drawn to 1 the most but that's just me. Any suggestions welcomed. I also don't care if someone plays the time travelers or the ones who meet them in whatever future but it might be better if we played one of each so no one is hogging the plot points. Again, another pet peeve of mine is when partners make their character the center of the story, make them whine about things and need constant attention and reassurance. I've been subjected to it more often than I'd care to admit...

I quite comprehend what you say. Doubling has become quite difficult these days, but I have faith in thinking there might be some people out there who can still handle it well.

Um, so, I don't think I'd do quite well in whatever is specifically labeled as "cyberpunk" or "high-tech sci-fi", because it rather intimidates me. If I was to choose, I'd say we can try out for option 3, since I can say I have the same problem whenever I try to roleplay in that sort of field, my partner usually pulls it off the edge onto multilateral quirks, when it's quite simply two individuals trying to survive in an environment that only makes things worse. I say I'd love to try this one out just to see if it turns out effectively.

(And yes, I can absolutely relate to that when you mention being bugged by how some roleplayers make the story revolve around their character, and make them always have something that requires constant attention and soothing.)

I'll be waiting for your reply.
PD.: I apologize for the unicorn.

Hello there. I saw you replied to my PKM post as well, it might be more up my alley since I have had a few PMs of interest regarding this topic. I'm not if they'll work out but doing something different (ex: Pokemon) might be better for me right now.
