Howdy! Feel free to call me Willow or Rue. So I've been on this site for a while, but as with many people, my living situation suddenly changed and I had to sacrifice some hobbies in the process. But I'm back and I craving a found family story. Something wholesome and full of adventures (think Studio Ghibli or maybe even Frieren/Dungeon Meshi). Now I'm looking for a partner who loves writing multiple characters, crafting lore rich settings and following a long term plot with good ole character bonding.

A little about me: My length ranges from 500 - 1000+ words. I write in third person only and expect the same from you.
I do have ADHD that makes it hard for me to focus, even when I REALLY want to respond. I also go to school and work so I just ask for patience for IC responses. That being said, I am the most patient person when it comes to responses. Seriously, don't feel bad, we can come back to our story when you feel in a good headspace to do so!

I can write a full cast of characters (usually around two to six for the main character roster) as well as any needed minor characters and honorary NPCs. I would love you forever if I could find someone could do the same (ideally my cravings as a huge family dynamic but I am totally flexible to your comfortability and any cravings you have too!) Just let me know what your preferences are so I can match accordingly 💖

PARTY CRAVINGS: ROMANTIC DYNAMICS 🏴‍☠️ Bumbling!Buccaneer x 🧜‍♀️ Secret!Mermaid (Any) [Relevant Tags: Chaotic x Chaotic • Friends to Lovers • Instant Connection • Loveable Goofball • Soulmates • Partners in Crime] — ⭐Idea: He was never the best buccaneer. Or maybe he was one of the best. But whether he had great success or trudged through a lifestyle he never chose, the Pirate finds himself floating adrift, lost the sea. But his sea shanties have drawn the attention of neither shark or sea beast, but a curious siren intrigued by his voice. They sing duets long into the night, her voice guiding him to shore, his voice keeping her company. Next to find a spell to allow her to continue their adventures on land, where the two vow to protect her secret. Bonus points of they are masters of sassy banter. 🎵 Sunshine!Bard x 🎭 Grumpy!Rogue (Any Gender) [Relevant Tags: Grumpy x Sunshine • Slowburn • Serious x Dramatic] — ⭐Idea: The Rogue has lived a difficult life. Growing up, they knew little of compassion and stability, forced to grow up to quickly - and thus, in turn, transformed them into a jaded, ruthless and possibly dangerous individual. Until they met a Bard, with gentle hands and a voice like a songbird. The Rogue doesn't know if they can really trust The Bard quite yet. But it's difficult to hate that smile that could light up both the sun and the moon. Bonus points if The Rogue was the first one to catch feelings and The Bard is completely oblivious at first. ⚔️Exiled!Paladin x 👸🏾 Healer!Princess (MxF or FxF) [Relevant Tags: Childhood Friends • Friends to Lovers • Practically Married • Mom/Dad Friends] — ⭐Idea: They grew up together yet since birth, were destined to live different lives. The Paladin was given to a holy order in the name of a sacred oath, The Princess was given to a foreign emperor across the see in the name of peace. Neither futures were theirs to choose. Yet they never gave up hope. It could be the standard flair or it could be the trope turned on its head, I wouldn't mind either way. but, I mean, a princess on a quest to awaken her sleeping knight from a dark curse is something I could absolutely get behind. Bonus points if they act like a married couple and the rest of the party has bets to when they'll officially put a ring on it.

PARTY CRAVINGS: PLATONIC DYNAMICS 🧙🏽‍♂️ Grandpop!Wizard + 📚 Child with a Special Gift (M+F or M+M) [Relevant Tags: Child Too Good for this Rotten World • Grumpy x Sunshine (Possibly) • Mentor/Student] — ⭐Idea: i honestly just love the idea of a tired old man who doesn't understand the new slang the kids say because back in his day magic was 'Swords and Sorcery' and they don't make staffs like they used to. he could be a kind hearted santa clause archtype or witty yet wise adventurer. but could also be an old fart who complains about his aching knees and waves his staff around telling goblins to get off his yard and the party bribes him with coffee. but despite all this, they have a soft spot for a child/preteen whose eager to learn and has a gift with so much potential. bonus if he has an equally sassy animal companion/familiar. 🗡️ Jaded!Witchhunter + 🧹 The Smollest Witch Ever (Any) [Relevant Tags: Unlikely Parent • Gremlin Kiddo (Possibly) • Hurt + Hurt • Chaotic + Calm] — ⭐Idea: a brooding witcher given a quest to hunt down a 'so called fearsome' witch only to discover that this witch is just a little gremlin who was probably raised by wolves or some poltergeist town. At worst, the only hex the smol would cast is calling you the biggest dummy. witcher leaves on a hunt, but comes back as a new father/mother because the kiddo followed them back to town fascinated like some lost puppy and now they can't get rid of them. 🏹 Any!Ranger + 🌺 Smol Shy Druid (Any Gender) [Relevant Tags: Unlikely Parent • Adoption Plotline • Soulmates • Calm + Calm • Hurt + Protective] — ⭐Idea: a ranger is injured by a wild beast and left for dead, only to be nursed back to health by a little druid in a little cottage left to her by her absent parents. both find a kinship with their relationship with nature and honestly, think animals are better than people. but when the ranger comes to visit them again, it's discovered the druid was taken by a traveling performing troupe to exploit their gifts with animals. rescue mission ensues!

First, let's start with a map:
It's definitely flexible with names, locations, & additional lore. I just like having a visual on where our characters are going and where things are! But if you things can get be better, by all means, bring your ideas to the table.

Next, countries and sigils of any royal families, councils or other ruling bodies applicable. Names and Government can be changed! Mostly here for inspiration and location reference:

Neorn House Verayne

Illyia House Lachance

Noria House Faelyn

Meridia House De La Rue

Aeos House Chanticleer

Del Varde House Rosewood

Cardeen House Perigee

Thalantis House Corvus

Rhinefall House De Coeur

Endor House Redford

Lastly, I've got some ideas for factions ideas which again, I am more than willing to adapt to our needs (these are kind of old, I will admit, they could definitely be updated. But they're here to inspire ideas!)

The Keepers - Slaver's Guild A roguish order of ex-thieves and assassins, they prowl the continent in search of slaves to sell to upper nobility and to buyers abroad. They're the largest slaving federation through the profits of slave labor, although they also plan the kidnappings of those they believe to be worthy of a suitable ransom. It's boasted there isn't anyone that they can't find, making them popular in many black market circles. Their leader, known only as The Crow, is a cruel dark haired woman bearing a webbed scar across her face. They hold a very thin alliance with the Crusaders of Talon

The Gilded Purse - Merchant Guild Caravan traders, merchant fleets and trained bankers, the Gilded Purse began in Meridia as a humble merchant's shop within the edges of the Timberlands. Within a single generation, it expanded to a banking clan that now manages properties, markets and finances all across the realm. It's not uncommon for merchants in this guild to act as financial advisors within royal courts and the guild may also manage resources within other guilds as well. The guild is currently overseen by twin high elf entrepreneurs Iriae and Erisaline Laferriere.

Maritime Minstrels - Bard's School Named after an infamous bard of the same name from eras ago, the song recounts his adventures whose songs were what caused the sun to rise every morning. In the wake of a new age, the famed ruffian, Victor Lagosi, sings bold tales of his traveling theatre, made up of mistfit minstrels, struggling performers and curious creatures from beyond the Endless Sea (or so the fool says). Yet if one can look past the colorful streamers and enchanting music, they might stumble upon an ambitious thieves guild in the making.

Good Neighbor - Ranger's Guild It was started by a bastard son of the Duke of Endor, a lad going going by Siro Alvotarie. During the 2nd Dark age, he rode west with 400 men and women order to protect the Timberland peoples from the once dangerous monsters who prowled the dark woods. Here they made an alliance with the Wood Elf tribes as well as the native Dire Wolves, both of which are still upheld to this day. Able to quell the dark magic of the shadowy woods, This guild's current purpose serves the realm as forest guides, wildlife hunters and peacekeepers.

Children of Ember - Arcane Academy Started by the Church of Emporem under the Elven Princess Ardnae Faelyn during the Age of Fire, this faction upholds themselves as astute historians, scribes, teachers and mages to whom they devote their lives to recording history and honing the skills of young magic users. They proclaim themselves as humble servants of their goddesses, of which they are said to worship over a thousand deities. A neutral faction in the ways of war, the Children of Ember have made solemn vows to grant their services regardless of status or side.

The Crusaders of Talon - Mercenary Company Based on the rocky cliffs past the Dead Man's Land, the Crusaders is made up of dishonored knights, gladiators and hardened mercenaries. A cutthroat fighter's guild, this order of warriors is feared throughout the realm as tales of their bloodlust is more than well known. Their signature iron crosses are scattered over the mountain side, where they nail those they conquer overlooking their iron fortresses. Former knight Sir Athen Blacktyde has become their leader, now going by the Black Bull due to the black horned helm he wears.

Found family but make it fantasy you say? Including LGBT+, platonic/familial, adoption, and more themes!! Amazing spectacular I love to see it.

Thanks to BG3 I have a similar craving.

Wonderful! I'm glad it caught your eye, I'll shoot a message and we can discuss details.

🐉⚔️🏰 ── Bump Worthy Update
♡ added some lose prompts to build a story off of!

🦄🗺️🧙🏼‍♂️ ── Bump Worthy Update
♡ overhauled post; looking for more specific character cravings, we can work out the overall plot in dms!

This does sound like an interesting prompt if you're still looking for partners.

🧚‍♀⚜️🧭 ── Bump Worthy Update
♡ cleaned up post; edited my specific character cravings for better clarity!

My Tiefling Rogue would fit perfect for the Grumpy!Rogue x Sunshine!Bard one! He is a trans dude, just putting that out there.

Sweet! Feel free to show my a DM when you have the chance and we can work out the details

If you don't mind furs and non D&D based characters I have some that could work. (I severely need to edit character profiles)

For Grandpop/gifted child, I have 2.
Skeith - Is a jaded character who would work well for the role.

Rhith - A character I often play at various ages. He does have a gift with magic.

Another character could work as either the grumpy rogue or shy druid. That would be Blacklight.

Okay, wow this post is super in depth and honestly very fun to read through. All the little prompts sound like they could be so fun to play! If you’re still accepting partners, I’ve been dying to get the chance to roleplay some fantasy since it’s seriously been too long since I’ve written in a fantasy setting outside of just world building for my own personal projects.

I have plenty of characters that aren’t on my profile but would work very well for most of the prompts listed, but I actually think it would be cool to combine multiple prompts into a much larger story! I noticed you mentioned wanting to play multiple characters so I figured that would be the best way to make that happen. I’m also always down to just brainstorm something and build an idea from scratch so there’s always that option as well.

Ooh, perfect! I'd love to brainstorm, feel free to shoot me a DM whenever you have the chance to!

Just gotta say, you have some of the most beautiful prompts. I love your style! I see you have had many interested writing partners. That is good! Just wanted to leave a comment of praise because you deserve it.
