Looking for Something to get started again!

Giving this a bump. Still looking for one or two more people!

Looking for Something to get started again!

Hi, I am Monochromatic- Mono for short. I've been out of the roleplaying loop for nearly three years now and I am looking to get back into the swing of things. I genuinely miss the creativity involved in world building, character creation, and story planning! I am hoping to find something to hold my interests for a while but I wont look away from short term things either. Anyway, onto the important bits!

I am looking for something that will let me be creative and let me write as much (or as little) as I desire; be it making an entire space empire for a single character, carefully crafting a character to best fit into a world of yours, or writing deep lore on something that really just isn't all that important. I will be honest with you, I really just want to *write*. I can't promise it will all be great, but I can promise a lot of communication and sharing of ideas. As a general rule of my writing though, I don't do one-liners. I tend to have at least a solid paragraph or three, I like to give my partners something to work with. I don't have any hard limits when it comes to what we write about, either, as long as we are enjoying what we are doing!

TL;DR

Busy moron suddenly has free time, wants to roleplay again!

Me: Writes at least 2-3 paragraphs (per character), likes having multiple complex characters, MxM or FxF, can post daily or every other day

You: Writes at least 2 paragraphs, can deal with having multiple complex characters, is fine with MxM or FxF for romance, can post at least once a week, 18+

Any questions? Just ask. This is missing quite a bit because of who I am as a person.

I am ghosting friendly but keep in mind: I will send ONE message asking if you are still interested after a solid week of no contact. If you don't reply to that to tell me you are still interested, there wont be another. No harm done and no bothering to be had!

Interests

If there isn't something here that you think would interest me, please don't be afraid to ask. The worst thing I can do is say no!

Soulmates

Yup. I am a complete sucker for all of those soulmate AU's! I absolutely adore all them.

But that isn't to say I am all in it for the 'Easy love' or anything. I love all the ways each AU can be flawed.

I wanna' write about the people that get left behind, don't have a mark/timer, who simply don't have a soulmate and don't get that 'happy ending' that everyone else seems to be promised. I want to write about their struggles in finding someone to love in a world that obviously didn't plan for them to have one! Or ya' know, something along those lines. I am definitely not opposed to having a side pairing that are the 'ideal' soulmates, I don't even mind starting with them if you'd rather. But I -really- want to delve more into the other side of things and explore the difficulties of not having a soulmate in a world where it is entirely expected for everyone to have one.

Omegaverse

Omegaverse is my guilty pleasure. Regardless of what kind of mood I am in, I am ALWAYS up for something from this verse.

'Alpha female/male omega' is something I haven't gotten to try before. Could be interesting.

On a side note; I also include things like Pack Dynamics in this category.

I really enjoy worldbuilding in this verse! So that is a thing.

Modern Day but-

Modern Day but people have Wings? Modern Day but people have weird social dynamics? I am frankly a complete fool for these types of stories. They dont usually last long, at least from what I have noticed, but they can be quite fun. Its interesting to see just how different things could be with small changes, you know?

I wont lie, either. Modern Day but people have Wings is probably one of my FAVORITE things to write about. I like the idea of wings quite a bit.

Genre/Topes

Sci-fi
This is one of my favorite things. I love space and I love creating things *for* space; like entire colonies of aliens that live on far away planets, humans that live entirely on ships in the depths of the nothing, etc. etc. Cant go wrong here!

Supernatural/Fantasy
What it says on the tin! These cross over into a lot of other things- as most tropes do. I am a huge sucker for good ol werewolves and vampires.

Apocalypse/Post Apocalypse
Again, I am a complete nerd for different type of apocalypses. Mutant virus? Aliens from space? Typical old zombies? I am there for it! I am also a fan of 'green' apocalypse type things, too.

Fandom

For Fandom related things I only write OC with OC. I am not a big fan of people playing canonical characters.

MHA

This is a bit of a weird one for me because I am not exactly a huge fan of heroes/villains in most situations. But for MHA I've found a bit of a soft spot simply because of how the world is structured and how the abilities/powers are. I would be willing to give this universe an attempt!

Pokemon

I am a complete nerd for Pokemon! I love the games and I absolutely adore the Mystery Dungeon series. I would love to write something in this verse, be it a more serious tone or something more light hearted and friendly.

Pre-Thought Ideas/Plots

Lost in Space

One of the last remaining human colony ships has been drifting for a long, long time. The ship is nearing complete meltdown and everything is looking bleak. Fortunately, another ship has flagged them! Unfortunately, they are completely alien and there is a language barrier- they seem to want to help, but do they really...?

IDEA BEHIND THIS: A simple idea for a possibly larger story.

Window Shopping

Everyone has a Soul Window on their chest where their heart should be. The 'window' is more like a cage that slowly fills up over time with emotion that has taken physical shape. Character A has a dysfunctional window that doesn't fill up properly. The cure? Find someone who over-creates! The only problem? While Soul Windows are often on display, emotions are expensive and people don't just give them away to strangers.

IDEA BEHIND THIS: A weird kind of fantasy/soulmate mashup. Could be interesting!

Night Life

Typical modern day world but the lives of the day and the night are split into two different 'worlds'. During the day everything is relatively normal, everyone is 'masking' and nothing is amiss. But when night falls the masks come off and the true horrors of the world are revealed- monsters roam the streets, once loyal lawyers run around nude, and those who are ugly on the inside can finally show their true colors.

IDEA BEHIND THIS: Basically, during the day everyone is normal looking. At night time, they turn into some variation of monster- be it a werewolf, a dog, a human lawyer, an alien with six arms, etc. In this world there isn't really a concept of 'sleep'. Its not a fully fleshed out idea but it is one I would like to explore more!

Change log

5/3/23: Fixed some spelling mistakes, added a few new ones.

Vinehurst Mythology (Open)

Amelie

Name:

Amelie Yun

Age:

29

Gender:

Female

Species:

Human

Occupation:

Herbalist

Personality:

Loud, hard working, passionate about everything she does, with everyone's best interests in mind. Amelie is very free spirit, almost annoyingly so, and cannot tolerate not saying hello to everyone she sees. She doesn't always have the best advice but at the least she is a good shoulder to cry on. She has a very high tolerance for other peoples bullshit but it doesn't get far without her calling them out! In fact, she will call herself out too, without hesitation. Notoriously she has a bad habit of sticking her nose where it doesn't belong, especially if it concerns someone she considers a friend- and lets be real, she considers almost everyone she meets a friend!

Appearance:

At five foot five inches, Amelie is taller than all the people in her direct family. Her frame isn't very big though and it is difficult to tell with how she dresses, but she is fairly well built from an insanely active lifestyle and continual outdoor labor. Her hair is always tied back in a bun or something of the sort. In the past year, she started sprouting grey hairs in her hairline. While she could dye it easily, she actually really likes it and has decided to leave it be- something about the whole 'If its growing like that, it is clearly meant to be'.

History:

Amelie was born to the hustle and bustle of a big family. As the youngest she got away with a lot more than her seven siblings but no less was expected of her academically. Her parents were very serious, hard working people; both things they tried to have their children follow. Unfortunately, Amelie turned out to be the outlier of their group. She wasn't lazy but she was easily distracted by the smallest of things and she was awful at turning in any form of homework on time and fully completed.

This lead to a relatively secluded childhood. Her parents didn't punish physically, but they used isolation and the removal of toys and other non-necessities. She wasn't allowed to have friends over, she wasn't allowed to go to a friends house, etc. Her days often consisted of going to school and going home to sit in her room all day, with the rare chance she was allowed to a family outing.

Around the time she turned fifteen her parents dropped her off at her grandparents house in Vinehurst and never picked her back up. Her grandparents, bless their kindly souls, gave Amelie what she needed: freedom. Her schooling took a backseat while her grandparents indulged her in all sorts of activities the town offered: hiking, boating, fishing, swimming lessons, camping, the bookshop, and the smaller historical sights to be visited by tourists. She promptly dropped out of school after a month of being there and got a part-time job at Plants O' Peaty, a very busy little herbalist shop where the plants are all homegrown- save for the carefully cultivated and cared for imports.

Over the next three years she managed to turn her part time job into a full-time job and turned her once quiet and secluded life into a very active and free one. She made friends, she made enough money at a job she loved to support her even deeper love for hiking and camping, and most importantly of all, she found her love for learning. Not enough to return to school to finish, but just enough that she took to studying in her free time.

In more recent years, her grandparents moved out of Vinehurst to the nearest big city for better medical care. Amelie has taken up residence in their little home near the Quarry, mostly to assure the lovely little home doesn't get invaded by wildlife or some vagabonds passing through.

Towser

Name:

Towser Harlow

Age:

30

Gender:

Male

Species:

Werewolf

Rank:

Scout

Personality:

Towser is a friendly, laid back type of guy. He isn't very aggressive even when he is angry and he backs off rather quickly if an argument starts and he happens to be in the middle of it. He likes to play around and he likes to see the people around him happy, be they werewolf or otherwise. Despite being friendly and all, Towser really isn't the type to seek out company. He is perfectly fine being off to the side lines or on his own for long periods of time. Can be a bit of an air-head at times if he is tired or if someone has been talking to him a bit too long.

Appearance:

Five foot nine and scruffy. He used to grow his beard out all willy-nilly, but in the past month or so he finally decided to chop most of it off to a more manageable length. Compared to others of the pack, Towser's wolf form is one of the smaller ones. It suits him very well though and allows him a lot more freedom and maneuverability than the larger, bulkier wolves. Due to being mistaken for a very large dog one too many times, Towser does carry a large dog collar that just barely fits around the fluff of his neck.

History:

Towser was found by the Vinehurst pack around the time he was six years old. No one was quite sure where he came from or how old he was, but one of the scouts found him wandering about seemingly lost in the woods. He lacked much verbal skill and couldn't really tell them much of anything. Most assumed he had gotten lost from his mother or pack that was skittering along their pack borders. It was quickly looked into though and the results were not favorable.

No one ever came looking for him and no one ever found any evidence of where he even wandered into the woods at. After a short time, Towser was adopted by an infertile couple within the pack. His life went fairly smoothly after they figured out a name for him and got him caught up on typical things like proper speech and how to read. Surprisingly he really liked learning and took to schooling a lot better than most people expected him to.

Towser was one of the young wolves allowed to join in on the fight against the vampires. While he didn't do anything like fight a vampire head on or get a real bite in, he did assist in dragging injured people to safety. His adoptive parents both managed to escape the chaos mostly in tact.

Later, around the time Towser was old enough to mostly support himself, both of his adopted parents decided to travel. They loved the pack but they both desired to see more of the world. The offer to go with them was extended to Towser, but ultimately he declined. Occasionally he still gets postcards from them, but as the years have grown since they've left, the fewer and fewer he has gotten.

Most recently, within the past half-year, Towser has taken to being in town several weekdays more than normal. He has taken a part time job at a mechanics shop on the basis of 'running around in the woods all day is getting a bit boring'.

Almost done with my character sheets. History has me a little stumped (as it usually does), but expect them sometime later today/tomorrow!

Vinehurst Mythology (Open)

I have two characters in the works, I am just terribly slow at writing character sheets! ; ;

Howell's School for the Uniquely Gifted. [OPEN]

I hope my CS is alright. The link should work, but if not, I will fix it once I get to an actual computer.

Howell's School for the Uniquely Gifted. [OPEN]

Name: Kayden Wikshire

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Looks:
Clicky

Disability: Bipolar Disorder

How they got disabled: No one is really sure, but it is assumed it is something he was born with.

Sexuality: Pansexual

Personality: In the simplest terms, Kayden is very boisterous and eccentric most days, with long, dreadful lapses of irritation and highly depressive moods of unusual quietness. Or sometimes an intense cycling of the tree. It usually isn't all that difficult to tell, considering that he is a very open and expressive person. Despite seeming like he has a horrid attention span, Kayden is actually highly perceptive of those around himself, often to the point of hyper focusing if there isn't anything else to keep his attention. While not necessarily a bad thing, it can prove to be very troublesome for those around him, especially when he stops paying attention to the task at hand.

How they feel about disability: Having been with it his entire life, Kaydens thoughts on it fluxuate horrendously. When doing well, he doesn't really see it as a disability nor illness- rather it just being his every common day thing. But when he is low, it is the only time he will willingly admit just how much he despises his own loudness and the inability to not live 'normally'.

How they came to the School: After an unusually bad depressive episode that landed him in the hospital, his parents decided they were done attempting to deal with him and figured that he could get the help he needed at the school.

Working on a CS now. Though I might go with something different than I originally planned, a different character idea popped into my head earlier n' I like this one a bit more. Plus, we've already got two mute characters.

Mutism or Deafness. Kind of torn between the two, but I am leaning more towards Mutism.
