I'm looking for a new dance partner

Bump, because this one was fun

I'm looking for a new dance partner

I have a little RP concept that I would love some help with: two people and their fated meeting on a dance floor. More on that below, but first a little about me and what I’m looking for. I’m a high casual to low advanced writer (just being honest with myself here, high casual about sums it up, but I’m learning), so I would like to be able to build the story with someone of similar ability. That being said, I’m a pretty relaxed person (as reflected throughout the rest of this post), so basically as long as you are willing to help move the story along and won’t post single sentence or lesser thought-out posts, I’m sure we’ll get along just fine. I typically play M characters, but have played F before, albeit a long time ago. For this pairing, I’d be looking to play MxF, but if you make a convincing argument for another pairing, I will hear you out. I find it just as easy to play in PMs as on forum posts, so we can figure out what works best between the two of us. I am on regularly during the day, EST, but tend to only post around lunchtime or after work based on the length of the response when I RP. Also, I feel contractually obligated to say 18+, because I’m too old to be having private conversations with non-adults over the internet (sorry, it’s just weird.)

As for the plot, I have two that are both slice-of-life sort of stories (but again, make a convincing argument, I’m here for the telling of stories, mostly regardless of what they are) :

1) The dance hall
Now, I’m probably one of the few people who have done this, but there’s a swing dance night in my town every Friday (or, ya know, used to be). If you find it too old-fashioned, I could consider a club setting, but I like the niche start that a swing dance night brings. At any rate, the story would start on such a night, with our characters having their first dance together toward the end of the night. The chemistry draws their interest about each other, but the night ends without much else happening. A slice-of-life montage of the characters going about their week with the other person lingering in the back of their own minds pulls them back to the dance hall the next week. Will their chemistry on the dance floor transition to a relationship, or will they get cold feet and be unable to turn this cute meet into a love story for the ages?

2) Wedding reception
We all know wedding receptions are dance traps of epic proportions. Everyone has an aunt who tries to get all the siblings and cousins of the bride and groom to dance. This is the story of a relative of the bride falling for a relative of the groom on the dance floor, the mad search to talk to each other again, and the fight to build a relationship based on very little knowledge of the other person. (Admittedly, this one is less dance-centric on the face of it, but the concept came to mind as I was writing the first one and I thought it was worth exploring.)

If you have any thoughts or would like to try one of these out, post or PM me. As I said, I’m on regularly throughout the day, depending on how work is going, so I check for responses regularly.

P.S. While looking over this in preview mode, it has come to my attention that I have put a lot of text into parentheses. I do not do this when I write usually, so I'm not sure how this happened. I'm leaving them in, though, because I do not currently feel like editing.

The Colain Empire - fledgling empire RP int

@DaemonsRevenge, I might be interested. Will this RP have a Discord Server?

Edit: Note that I might not have the time, though, as my own RP is ramping up its pace right now...

@Letter Bee

It might, I'm fine with either a well maintained group in the site or on discord. I know everybody can access the site, at least, but some may not have a discord (though, I imaginevery few).

The Colain Empire - fledgling empire RP int

What a fantastic war! I just love when the mortals get all worked up about their personal space. I mean, really. What's a few million square miles of land compared to the universe? Such petty little things. Still, the empire is at peace again and the people can live in harmony with blah blah blah. Maybe they'll learn to behave this time. If not, well... perhaps the next war will be even better.

---------------------------

The newly formed Colain Empire has finally settled into its peace; or at least, there aren't wide-spread battles being fought, as there used to. The various fracture regions that made up the north-eastern section of the Nalzat continent have, after decades of in-fighting and centuries of prior conflict, finally been brought under a single banner. Four years of actual peace have been held, and the empire is beginning to figure out how to exist outside of a perpetual conflict. The citizens have laxed most of the tension that had been built for so long, and many of the former soldiers have returned to their homes to start new lives. Some have pursued work as town guards, bounty hunters, and mercenaries. Many others have left behind the more violent pursuits to live of simple life as farmers, miners, and general laborers. For sure, there is no shortage of work to be done with the population now rising to heights beyond what was ever possible. It is here that we begin our story. Here, in an empire in its infancy and a world older than the land the empire now calls home. The only question is: what happens now?

---------------------------

This is a concept for a world I have been working on for a while. I'm an engineer and like to build things in a robust manner, and that includes my world-building from time-to-time. So, I have a world that is thought out, but I created it to be able to be played in multiple different genres and themes. I wanted to post and see if there was any interest, and to see if there was interest in any particular facet of the story. The world is created in medieval fashion, so there are certain game elements that are probably out by virtue of that. I'd like to get a small group together, so it'd be great to get a consensus from a few players before I put a ton of time into solidifying the world around a theme, but the concepts that are open for consideration are:

Genre:
Fantasy (high, low, or no) - Depending on a groups choice, this will be a major factor in how the world is set up and how characters will be generated. I have a slightly different way of doing characters that allows for RP to still happen and reduces how bogged down it can get by rolls. This does, however, require reasonably competent and mature players. This does not mean the content of the RP has to be mature or serious (If you wanna seduce everything in sight, go for it), but it does fall apart if a player isn't committing to what their character would do.

Inclusions (romance, nation building, etc.) - Outside of the fantastical elements, I'd like for the group to come into the game with an understanding of what everyone wants out of the RP experience. I want to be able to provide for the players to have fun, and want players to want to continue playing and not get bored or be disappointed if the story strays from something they wanted. So, a general understanding of whether people expect to have a say in building the world, having a romance with other PCs or NPCs, having battles, that sort of thing.

Setting:
Once a genre is set, there will be a start point to consider. Generally, I have it set up for 3 starts: 1) a classic D&D characters small town bar scenario 2) a rebel faction wanting to win their land back from the empire 3) nobility or high-class (or at least in the high-class town scape) and having more of a direct connection to the new empire, its creation, and the overall building of this new nation

I am willing to work with almost any character concept once a group has made at least a loose agreement to the above. As I stated earlier, I have a bit of a unique way of doing a CS that I've wanted to try out that will hopefully allow for better story movement and RP. Above everything, I do want it to be fun and casual, hence not a lot of dice will be rolled necessarily and the players will have their run of the environment to do as the party pleases. If there is enough interest, I'll move on to taking applications soon. Be kind!

I'm new, let's have some fun

Hello all,

I'm Daemon, and I've been playing various roleplaying games for a little more than 12 years now. I played plenty of video games when I was younger and rolled my first D&D character in 2009, but have been doing much more roleplaying in recent years. I've run the gambit of experiences, from in-person and online D&D groups to roleplay MMORPG servers. I've even had the pleasure of a short bit of LARPing last year; something I hope to get to do more of in the future. Now, I'm hoping to find some fun in some new settings!

I'm looking to possibly join a few different things here. I'll certainly be looking for an adventure to go on, but also to flex some of my pure roleplaying muscles. I may even post an int check for something in the future. I enjoy science and reality, certainly, but I also have an affinity for fantasy.

Aside from this, I do have a full-time job, which I am thankful to have in current times. I also cut and polish precious and semi-precious gemstones as a hobby. I am in my element outdoors and in, and spend just as much free time on my computer as I do in the woods.

Thank you all for stopping by to read, I hope to meet you in character soon

-Dae

Let's gooo

I'm interested in exploring the idea of 'runaways', if you'd still like
