Deadwood

Please, Guard Me

Of all the people that could have been standing in the door of his office, the last person he expected was the very woman who had saved him a week ago. And he had much less expected the reaction he had received. Did she understand that she was in the office of one of the largest electronics companies in the world, in front of the CEO, someone who was worth at least high eight figures a year by the age of 25? He knew that his face would be a mask of startled shock and an open jawed awe of the situation. He tried to quickly compose himself. He was a professional businessman. If he got shaken and startled by something as aloof as one womans aloofness, then he wasn't going to make it very far.
"Sorry for the silence. i had not expected to see you again so soon."
Leon looked past the woman briefly to Kat.
"Thank-you Kat, I can take it from here. She is incidentally the person who helped me a week ago from the attempted stabbing. Please tell any urgent phone calls I will call them back at my soonest discretion. That is all."
He smiled at her warmly as Kat nodded and headed to ehr office and work station. With a sigh, he turned back to his savior.
"So...Ms. Parish was it? please take a seat"
He gestured to the high-backed chair with a red cushion on it before his desk.
"Firstly, it is good to see you again. Secondly, thank-you for saving me the other week. Thirdly, please do not call me Knife-guy. It will be Mr. Umbra or Sir, or Leon if we are alone, if you please."
Leon continued on before she could hope to get a word in.

"Now I am sure you know why I am here. I have recieved a death threat, no doubt my first of many. However, i wish to take it seriously. Since I have only just taken over for my father, this company is still in a bit of an uproar. People are clamoring in the power vacuum he has left behind with his...legacy...shall we say. I for one, cannot discredit that the threat may have been made from an inside party. Mrs Kat Pennant, my secretary, insisted that I let her call the security company you work for to send someone out to shadow me. Suffice to say, I feel last week speaks for itself regarding question of experience and ability. Following everything so far?"

Leon finished his torrent of words and just looked at Mrs. Parish. He had deliberatly inundated her with a stream of consciousness and information, to see how she processed on the fly and how she reacted to different situations. In all honesty, he was glad that she had been the one to walk through the door, but he didn't know why. Maybe it had to do with the element of trust he felt he already had with her from the events just a week prior?
"Also, forgive me, but I have not heard your first name.

Damn it stupid demon! Just leave me alone!

He was a foolish and brash magickal practitioner with too much time on his hands and too many expectations placed on him. She was the unfortunate demon he accidentally summoned when trying to acquire more power.

See, his mentor was pushing him to be the best and to become the number one apprentice in the fantasy city of Santalmo. Fearing failure, he stole a book of infernal practice and tried to tap into nether-energies of the demon realm to boost his power. What he got was a demon. But due to his lack of experience in profane summonings, it was not fully subservient or in his control. Indeed it was tied to his power, but it had all its free will and intellect. And so the struggle began.

Their collective energy was greater than either one of them, and they had to share it out between them. One could pull more towards themselves, giving them a greater share and the other losing it. And they both knew that if either one of them got 100% of the power, that the tether would break, leaving all that power in the one individual.

He also had to keep her a secret, else be burned for forbidden profane magicks.

===

I'll be playing the role of the male, and you the female demon. We have to work together to keep you hidden, but we cannot be too far apart. We physically cannot exceed a certain distance from each other. But at the same time, we are trying to steal and assimilate as much power from the pool as possible. The more you take from the other, the harder it becomes to get more. it naturally will try to level out at 50% each.

And to weaken each others will power, etc, we would use any means at our disposal. The female demon could well try using her body.

SUBNOTE:
Adult references and controversial topics will be addressed in this RP. Not for weak of heart, the easily offended, or those not comfortable with talk of magick. Some of this will be based of actual practice and craft. And I will strongly be pushing a physical element to the RP.

Any takers?

Original Action Fantasy Adventure

I'll keep an eye on this, but so far you've got my attention.

@Pathfinder

Exactly what he/she said

Doctor Who non-canon RP (Companion required)

The 'Doctor' isn't the only one who can travel the time lines. In a different setting of the same set-up and structure, a different Time-lord escaped the fall of Gallifrey. His title, was the 'Writer.'

Armed with a sonic quill, he flew through time in his TARDIS, re-writing errors in the space-time continuum. As he did so, he recorded them all in what he called the 'Annuals.'

For centuries he did this, dying and regenerating ten times before we join in on the story, all in the name of doing what was right. Deciding to take as break, he came to settle in the city of London (because everything that threatens or affects the world always happens in London or New York ;)) It is here that he meets a very unique individual, and befriends them.

Time passes happily for the 'Writer,' content chronicling his adventures in a personal diary. But one day, his TARDIS sends him an urgent warning. The 'Annuals' have been taken and are missing. Fearing what could happen if someone figures out how to access every re-write of history and future errors, he sets off to find it, taking his new friend with him.

But as we all know, nothing in time-space is ever constant or easy. And the hardest part of dealing with it all, is the knowlege that everything will one day end.

===

The 'Writer' needs a companion, someone to help keep him on track as space-time unravels in such a way only he can save.

Keep in mind, this is based of the ideology and concept of Doctor Who. I am not meaning to recreate it faithfully. I will be introducing my own alien species, and a lot of what will be said and done is NOT in the Doctor Who continuum. The only reason I bring this up is I know the fan-base can be very militant and loyal about their conceived notions of the show. I do this for fun, and not to accurately pay homage.

This is an experimental concept for me at best. In the interest of pure honesty, it may even turn out to be beyond my scope. but i am still willing to give it a try. Who's with me??

Please, Guard Me

Leon sighed, kicking his chair back from the table, enjoying the sound of the wheels on the floor, and the motion of his moving. It had been a week since his run-in with the drunkard and his knife, after offering him some money. A week since that girl had stepped in and rather expertly put the drunk in his place. She must have had training or something. Anyway, Leon remembered how aloof and how dismissive he had been of her. It had been a long day, he had failed to negotiate a big merger between Leviathan Technologies and Seraph Incorporated, and had not been in the best of moods. Besides, there were already many people in the company who thought he was not cut out for CEO. Some of them simply looked at the fact he was 26. Some of them hated that he had gotten the position and they hadn't.

Pushing himself back to the desk, he lifted up a bunch of papers, a rework on the merger of the companies, well, less of a merger and more of a large scale buy-out. He had been trying to figure out a way to make sure both companies were looked after, even if Leviathan technologies was essentially taking them over. He sighed and dropped the papers elsewhere on the desk. A letter slid out from between them, landing on the floor. With a raised eye-brow, Leon lent down and picked it up. It said 'FOR L' on the front. Rather nonchalantly, he opened it up and looked at the letter inside.

Step down now, or else there will be blood to pay

His blood ran cold as he lent forward and pressed the intercom.
"Kat, please send in security and the mail-man to my office, ASAP."
"Is...is everything okay, Mr. Umbran?
"In all honesty no...I just received my first death threat."
He heard her go silent, then immediately call for security.

After a briefing on the situation, and the mail man being taken into police custody for questioning, Leon sat in his office with Kat, two armed guards standing outside the room. Kat looked at him with her worried eyes. The 31 year old secretary had served the company for ten years, and knew Leon well. She brushed her brown bangs behind her ears.
"Leon, I want you to have personnel on you at all times."
Leon shook his head, responding
"We can't have that. It could be someone in the company."
Kat shook her head and sighed.
"Who would want to do you harm."
Leon laughed.
"There are plenty of people in this multi-billion dollar company that would rather not have me be CEO, there is Seraph Industries which we are trying to assimilate, not to mention all the staff cuts my father made last year before he stepped down. You don;t have a billion dollar company without stepping on some people unfortunately. I think that is why dad put me up as CEO. He did the dirty work to get us here, and now needs someone more personable to lead it. I don't condone what he did, but the past is the past."
Kat held up a finger as she pulled out her phone. Leon looked at her incredulously.
"What are you..."
She just shook her head.
"I'm calling in outside back-up. I know this great Body Guard company. I'm calling them now. No ifs ands or buts."
Leon just sat there and sighed.

THE NEXT DAY

Leon sat in his office again, hair stylised into spikes, with a white shirt, black tie and black suit. He looked at his watch. 8:58. At 9:00 he was due to meet his new supposed body guard. He wondered what she would be like.

A Trainer and his Pokemon (Non-conventional pokemon RP)

I remember when I caught my first pokemon. It had been injured on the side of the road, and I happened to have a pokeball that I was bringing to dad, who was working at the nearby lab. I caught the poor thing, and immediately took it to the pokecenter. And look at me now. I am a region champion, and headed to the Pokemon World Championships in Unova. The pokemon I caught that day? I still have it. It is not only my best friend, but my closest companion. It wasn't always easy though. But we stuck to it, and the two of us are now inseparable.

This is the story of how we came to meet. It starts on a rainy day...

Hello one and all, Deadwood here. Just a concept for a RP I have been mulling around in my head for awhile. I will not post here my life story or anything. No mountain of text for you to read here. Just the bare minimum on what you should know.

-I will be the trainer, and you the pokemon.
-You will be a pokemon at the start of the evolution cycle
-Yes there is story-line, but I want it to be more focused on the interaction between the two. Are you a rebellious pokemon? Are you lazy? Are you hyper-active? And how will I react?
-My name is Adam
-Real life sucks, so I will try my best to post as regularly as possible, but please allow a couple days delay at times.
-Any amount of writing is accepted, as long as it is relevant. I love seeing in peoples head spaces, and how they are thinking. If that means two lines, then so be it. Mean an entire essay, be my guest.
-I am very easy going, and as easy to read as an open picture book. Got questions about anything? Ask. Got concerns? I am happy to listen.
-Thread RP preferred.

So, any takers?

I Wanna be a Saikyou HERO! [One-Punch Man Inspired] [Magical Girls, Ninjas, Metahumans and more!]

As someone looking to fill the void in their life now that One Punch Man has finished the anime, i am definitely in. Okay to play a Metal Knight character who is actually a good guy? More like a combination of Metal Knight and Iron Man. A guy is a base exo-skeleton suit he can spruce up with different parts and armours?

Romance Wasn't Part of the Deal [Closed]

Interested :) I have a character in mind who is a bit of a philanthropic dick.

Ghost Hunting in Orchid Town

Theme Music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko9GyA1ofuM

My name is Christopher Valiente. I make my living going around and killing, purging, and helping the dead pass on. It is not a glorious job, but it is a necessary one. The other day I received a message pertaining to possibly my biggest job ever, a mass purge of Orchid Town.

I can still remember the news reports. Ten years ago, the madman Gregory Shackle and his cohort of loyal and devout believers went on a rampage, and single-handedly slaughtered the inhabitants of a little country town, all in the name of the Shackle Cult. 388 lives were snuffed out that night. After the decimation, they all took their lives. Gregory was the last one to shoot himself in the head, but not before he left the words "The Shackles will never fall away. They will always return."

Apparently the country town has had a dead uprising. Ghosts unable to move on, animated corpses refusing to stay still. Unspeakable horrors walking in a realm they no longer belong. But why now? Why, after ten years and six months, do they rise now? Is it related to the Shackle Cult? Is it something else entirely?

Either way, I will find answers, I will put the dead to final rest, and I will stop anything from breaking out of Orchid Town to terrorise anywhere else. But a job this big, I know I cannot handle it on my own. I'll need a partner. Someone to watch my back, and for me to watch theirs.

Will you answer the call?

The Crimson Dust Saga (Fairy Tail Based RP)

It is with my most sincere apologies that I need to withdraw from this RP. Uni work, regular work and real life have taken their toll, and I am unable to fully dedicate and commit to a group roleplay.

I do humbly apologise, and pray i can RP with you all in the future when life settles down.
