Three Player Private RP

I'm definitely interested. My vote is for plot one or two. (Though I'd be up for the third one if that's where more interest lies.)

Shoot me a PM whenever you're ready.

Bard's Parnter Search (Revised) Ignore Post Count

I expect you to be:
*** Casual to advanced in writing capability.
*** Comfortable writing in third person, past tense.
*** Willing to write without coding aside from italics - and use it for internal thought/emphasis of a particular word only.
*** Able to write for your character(s).
*** Up front about comfort level regarding mature content.
(I will not turn away anyone that says they're not comfortable with 18+ content; any plots I have planned work with/without adult content.)

About Me

I live in the -05:00 UTC time zone (USA East Coast Time). I do work full time and have a family, but can get on every day to at least read posts. Making posts - usually I can do on average every other day (everyday if my schedule allows) but there are times where life just gets in the way. I will do my best to let you know when life gets in my way and hopefully be able to give you a timetable for how long it will be before I can post again.

I like romance; I prefer having it in my RPs. However, I am open to not even having romance involved if that's what you prefer.

That being said, I don’t mind writing adult content if it’s in the context of the RP. It should be a realistic expectation and definitely not turn into a plot point (being that it’s really the only thing the characters have going on.) It’s okay to admit you’re uncomfortable writing it or just don’t know enough about the act to portray it with your writing - I am just as happy to fade and/or fast forward the RP past it if the situation comes up as write it out if it means you're comfortable with what's happening.

Violence is okay in my book, but just keep it realistic and within reason (i.e. no violence so absurd it’s cartoonish.) Everything can be justified and I’d like to be able to get a real reason if I ask (answers along the lines of "That's just how it works" are not real answers.) I’m a dark humored person with even darker outlooks on things (for a long time my main focus in writing was horror, for example) so don’t be afraid to have a dark setting or twisted characters.

I like to ask questions, particularly when it comes to minutia or how/why something happened. It’s just how I am. Please never take it personally, and always feel free to ask grill me just as bad.

If you don’t take it personally, I won’t take it personally. Some characters are nice, some characters are mean, and some characters just stab people in the face for minor transgressions (yes, I have a character like that and it’s a lengthy explanation as to the justification for it.) What happens in character, though, is purely in character. Trust me, I won’t feel shy about telling you I have an issue, and I would hope you will do the same, so long as we all keep it civil.

Original Plots:

## It’s Never Simple (Romance with action as a subplot)

It

High school is mostly boring - the same old stuff for the most part. Then a new girl moves to town and starts high school. She’s friendly, maybe even naively so, but there’s just something that seems off, particularly with her father. And trouble seems to have followed them.

The Basics: Technically, this is kind of a good girl x bad boy mash up - as a heads up because my female apparently is one of those "I can change him" kind of gals that has a soft spot for bad boys.
Set in modern day and preferably in the US, this is obviously a high school setting. The exact details about what the town is like can be discussed as well, as the city size can affect the RP plot.
This can either be a straight up slice of life (normal world) or it could be a superpowered/meta-human/mutant slice of life (details of that to be discussed) depending on which you prefer.
The details of the high school will need to be worked out, as my high school had a different setup than the high schools even in the surrounding cities - but we’ll discuss more if anyone wants to do this.
For this Romance does not mean Adult Content. Adult content will only come up if we discuss it beforehand.

I’m looking for my partner to at least play a male love interest for my female. I’ll give you details about her if you would like that before hand to help you plan.

The Road To Hell ("Slice of Life" Action)

The Road to Hell

Sometimes, even innocent actions can lead to malice. Ariel learns this the hard way when she gives directions to some old acquaintances, only to find out it lead to her roommate's abduction. She's determined to make things right; she just hopes it's in time.

The Basics: This is set in a USA college. Either we can start off with our characters knowing each other, or have them meet for a first time.
The abduction will happen after the start of the RP.
This does not require romance, and you do not have to have a male to counterpart my female. Only real requirement is college aged character that would be willing to go along with Ariel on her quest to save her roommate.

Questing We Shall Go - *Long Term RP* Fantasy (up to my partner if this has mature content or not)

Questing We Shall Go

This scrappy band must not only deal with the random monsters and getting money, but with each other as well.

The Basics: This is for 4-6 characters total (so 2-3 characters each.) This is generic fantasy setting (I generally use Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 for my classification of 'generic') where pretty much any fantasy race is allowed, any fantasy class is allowed, and demons/warlocks = generally bad guys (exceptions can be made.) I may ask a lot of questions, and you should too; it's to make sure we're on the same page about everything.
The characters don't have to always get along, they just have to be working together when it counts - like responding to "Heroes Needed" cries for help, bounty hunting, and pretty much anything else that could pay the bills.
Death should be a possibility - being a hero for hire is dangerous work after all - but that doesn't mean the adventure will stop. We'll just figure out a way to work in the new character so it's not completely interrupting/obvious.

Background Plots: If desired.

• 1) There's a war raging between the ruler to the north and the ruler of the lands our adventures start off in/call home. This can come to light early on, or evolve as background stuff (i.e. we'll discuss it in the separate chat) that could slowly intertwine with what our characters are doing. Either way, eventually it comes down to our adventurers to help solve the problem.


• 2) Demons weren't always evil. They actually lived side by side with the other races in as much peace as any of the races can have along side the usual quarrels. Something changed all that and at some point our group would end up being commissioned to find out why and fix it (or die trying.)


• 3) (This is taken from the plot of a story I'm going to start writing, so is intended for one of my characters, but we can discuss for a change of plotting if you'd rather it be your character.) Decades ago, two warring elvish kingdoms agreed to a truce upon the marriage of the son of one kingdom and the daughter of the other. The princess disappeared a week before the wedding, and hasn't been heard from since. The unrest that feel between the two nations managed to not break into war while the king searched for his daughter. Only a few years ago, the bridegroom prince took the throne after his father's demise, and more recently the princess' father has passed on. War brews again between the two nations as the scorned bridegroom takes up a warpath to find his wayward bride.

I'm generally open to ideas/plot pitches, so long as they are within interests.

If you're interested in anything, post here or send me a PM.

ETU - College is Hell, quite literally.

So, I know it's been a while since my last update, and I know MadAsshatter is away(?) but I wanted to make a final statement.

I'm just going to declare this dead. Right now, I don't have time and I have lost all my notes on the start up for plotting. This is entirely on me guys, and I'm terribly sorry for this falling apart on you.

In the future, I may reattempt to run it. But with my increased hours and home stuff, I just don't have the energy to run an RP right now. Especially won't once November starts (I participate in the {Inter}National Novel Writing Month *NaNoWriMo for short*.)

Terribly sorry for wasting all of your time.

ETU - College is Hell, quite literally.

Maybe in a week, I'm still waiting to find out if my schedule is getting adjusted more. I do know I will end up being gone most of November too. So if I get free next week, it will only be for a short time.

ETU - College is Hell, quite literally.

I have found just enough time to use my mobile and say I'm extremely sorry. I don't know when in the near future I'll get a chance to post again.

Because of this, I wanted to ask if people would rather just declare this dead or if everyone is willing to wait for me to get time and make a post.

ETU - College is Hell, quite literally.

Sorry for not posting yet. My friend asked if I could watch her kid while she's in the hospital, so next to no time or energy. Will hopefully get something together and postexd while at work Monday.

ETU - College is Hell, quite literally.

Just so you guys are all aware, and it's my fault for the text being unclear, it isn't the door to the room our characters are in that is locked. It is the door to the building that is. Sorry for the confusion.

Finally released from Melony's grip, Naomi decided now was the perfect time to really catch a breath. The table Melony stopped at to chat with some students had one seat free. Not optimal in her opinion, since it was pretty much the last seat available she was just going to have to deal with sitting next to someone. At least he seemed preoccupied and the person on the other side was swept up in the conversation Melony started. A soft sigh of relief escape Naomi as she took the seat next to the boy playing on his phone.

A slight brush of her fingers along her brow pulled her bangs from being tangled in the eyelashes of her left eye. The hair naturally curled back to hide that eye, but at least it wasn't pulling on the hair when she blinked. Slipping her own phone out, she settled a bit more into the seat. Hopefully Melony would forget about her when she moved onto the next group. It probably wouldn't happen, but she could still hope. Rather than focus on that thought, she focused on sliding the phone open so she could use the keyboard and quickly got into her messages. At the very least, she could text with her best friend - let him know how everything was going.

It didn't take him long to get back to her, and it took a lot of effort to hold back her frown. He wanted her to actually talk to someone not her roommate. She supposed it could be worse. Glancing around, it seemed like everyone else was kind of wrapped up in conversations. Aside from that one guy and a few others spread around the room, but that meant getting up from the chair now that she found one. Hopefully the guy would respond.

Her attention turned mostly to her phone when she first spoke. "Kind of stupid gathering, right?" She leaned forward a little to see his name tag. Settling back, she added in, "Allen, is it?"

---

Through the closed doors of the gathering room, a loud crash could still be heard - even over the din of conversation.

The sound was the first thing to cause Emily to look up from what she was doing on her wrist band. Her gaze turned to the door, then immediately shot to the bay windows left open to the darkness outside. She lowered her wrist and shifted toward the bay windows, studying what little could be seen out into the night.

Academy 218 - Superhuman School (Always open)

Hey, not to late for a new writer right? I was planning on having new students, not returning ones, if that makes a difference.
