Hi.
So, I have some odd pairings to put on the table. I'm only accepting one person for each of them currently, so slots are limited. I'm hoping you find this list of unorthodox pairings as interesting.
I have a few simple requirements to set.
~
> Grammar. Make it decent. Don't use text speak in IC posts, it only makes you look stupid. And don't do the whole L337 thing, either. You can do whatever you want in the OOC, though, I don't care what you say when it comes to that.
> Post length. Two to three paragraphs, at least. No one-liners or half-assed one paragraph posts.
> Activity. I have a life. I have classes, I have personal events, I have social events, I have friends, unbelievably. Do not, I repeat not badger me about activity. I swear to God, I will drop a roleplay if I'm being pestered about posting fifty responses a day. I might post a couple one day and go silent for a week - it's very erratic. If you can respect that and be patient, then I sure as hell will respect you and be patient. It's the least I could do.
> Genders. I play both male and female. I might have preferences for certain ideas, I might not. Go with it. Don't try to convince me to do MxM or FxF.
> Mature themes. I do blood. I do violence. I do gore, I do swearing. I don't do sex. I'll fade to black if necessary. Respect my boundaries, please.

There. Done.
If you're still here, I have the ideas down below. I've made them as clear as I can.
Any pairing position with a *** means that that is my preferred position. Any without a *** means that I don't care which position I play.

Title - Pest
Genre - Fantasy / Modern
Pairing - Human [M] x ***Harpy [F]
Relationship - Platonic
Status - Open
Brief Main Plot - Two types of harpies reside in the world - the 'predator' harpies, and the 'pest' harpies. The predator harpies are human-sized, significantly stronger than normal humans, and quite dangerous, seeing as they are called 'predator'. The pest harpies are usually about the size of a bird, very small, and are generally just annoying to humans more than anything. Some can be beneficial, depending on their intelligence and intentions, but most are simple-minded and selfish, just like any other bird. A male human manages to capture one of these 'pest' harpies that flew - or more like crash-landed - inside his home, only to find that this harpy isn't quite as stupid as he was expecting. Surprisingly to him, she's actually a very intelligent harpy, and this intrigues him. It turns out that the harpy has a broken wing, and cannot properly fly, which is the sole reason why she was forced to land and landed in his residence.
Notes - As you can see, this would obviously be platonic, and the plot is open-ended. It is open to be edited to my and my partners' liking past the point this plot explanation ends. The predator harpies explained in the plot are not going to be playable in the roleplay - I just felt it was necessary to add balance to the harpy species in general. This world will be a modern world, where pest harpies can thrive in both natural areas and human societies and predator harpies only reside in natural areas untouched by humans.
Title - Explore With Me
Genre - Fantasy
Pairing - Human [F] x ***Harpy [M]
Relationship - Romantic/Platonic {Your choice}
Status - Closed
Brief Main Plot - A female human is sick of her life at home. She feels an intense yearning to go on adventures and seek out strange new places and things. One day, she simply can't bear the urge any longer, and packs herself up to sneak out during the night into the wilderness. As she walks and explores nature, she is spotted by a curious male harpy who just chances upon her during his own traveling. Instead of coming to greet her, he stays out of sight for a while and examines her from afar, until his own curiosity piques and he can't resist speaking. She notices him when he starts to speak, and obviously is afraid at first, since harpies are regarded in her culture as grotesque monsters to be feared - but she is in for the surprise of her life to find this harpy to be nothing more than curious and playful, without harmful intentions. He has her reveal her intentions in the wilderness, and decides to accompany her in her travels, whether she likes it or not.
Notes - This will be set in a more medieval world, where nature is still quite abundant and technology is nonexistent, only old-fashioned weaponry and ways of living. This plot doesn't pertain to the world of the second plot - it's set in an entirely different universe, just for clarification. The plot is subject to be changed and edited to how me and my partner desires it to be after the point the plot explanation above ends.
Title - Caught Red-Handed
Genre - Fantasy
Pairing - Giant [M] x Human [F]
Relationship - Platonic
Status - Open
Brief Main Plot - A female, human scavenger whom has an excellent amount of skill in keeping undetected and sneaky has been living wild in the woods for most of her life. The downfall of humanity came when savage giants attacked, and obliterated many of the population of humans. Only few giants and humans alike remain in the present time, and this scavenger is one of them, visiting abandoned towns and picking off fresh or good supplies whenever she can. Though normally, giants are strong, primitive, and very savage, there are few who retain intelligence and humanity in them, which are the few giants who survived the retaliations humankind had set onto them. The scavenger finds a male giant traveling through a forest, and decides to hitch a ride from him instead of travel on foot and tire herself out. She was under the impression that the giant was too unobservant to notice her catching a ride - but she was quite wrong. A single wrong move is made, and in a second, the giant has her trapped in his grasp. Though she finds him to be . . . different from normal giants, when he brings her forward to observe her. She finds him to have the same intelligence as a human, in fact, and he seems more curious than angered at managing to find her. A confrontation is held, where he asks her many questions about who she is and learn more about her reasons for being out in the wilderness on her own, rather than immediately deciding to just straight-out kill her.
Notes - This is a bit more of a stranger one that I've been curious about doing for a while now. Another more medieval society - I don't think any other time period would work for it. It'd be platonic, because anything past that'd be awkward. The plot is very open-ended - I don't have a lot of ideas planned for what could happen after the explanation, so it's very changeable.
Title - Escaping Bloodshed
Genre - Fantasy
Pairing - Dragon [M] x ***Dragon [F]
Relationship - Platonic/Romantic {Your choice}
Status - Open
Brief Main Plot - Dragons are exotic creatures, creatures that mages, whom are always looking to increase their magical abilities and power, would do anything to capture. These glorious creatures have been hunted to near extinction - only few remain in the world. These very few are gifted with abilities, some beyond the mortal spectrum, some of the elements of physical nature, some of other unimaginable, unique proportions. These creatures are constantly sought out for these powers, and though they run, they can fight just as well, and many who go out to hunt them never return. A male dragon, while being chased by hunters, chances upon a female dragon who is also being chased, out of pure coincidence. The two, in a mutual understanding of each other's situations, battle it out with the hunters and defeat both groups while working together. After this event, the dragons face each other and meet. In a series of questions, curiosities, and decisions, they decide to accompany each other on their paths to stay alive.
Notes - This would be set in a medieval, yet higher fantasy world where magic is available to humans to create mages. Each dragon will be unique and have their own awesome abilities and powers. It'll be a survival type of plot that we're going for, but it's changeable to our liking. Adventure is out there, and I'd be more than glad to hear any ideas for events you might want for this. I'm very excited to try this one.

That's it.
If you like one, tell me the title down below and I'll PM you ASAP - it might not be right away, so be patient.
Oh, and also - don't whine if I reject your offer. I only reject offers when someone has already taken the idea, so be cool about it.
Okay?
Okay.
