This Looking For RP topic is marked as closed, meaning it is no longer seeking new players.

About me:
- I don't do one liners and would like to ask my partner to also refrain from that.
- For now I prefer to stick to modern settings
- Romance is an afterthought for me at best; I'm not the one you're looking for if you want a guarantee for it.
- Life's a bit hectic, so I'm not always as fast as I'd like.

Now for the ideas:
1. Character A has summoned character B, a demon, who they command in exchange for their soul in ten years. However, A messed up the wording in their agreement a little so while at first B has to do their bidding and hates every second of being told what to do, they are slowly figuring out a way to get out of their part of the agreement and make A regret all this very much.

2. Character A has to escort character B to safety. As the story goes on, it becomes clear that the people they are running from want A just as badly as B

3. The characters find themselves shipwrecked on what appears to be a desert island after having gotten into a heavy storm. The island, however, is home to something of a cult. A bunch of folks messing with dark things who really do not appreciate uninvited guests. They do see some use in the main characters, however, none of this is going to be pleasant so while trying to get themselves a ride home, the characters also need to either keep hiding from these people or find a way to fight back.
Soon enough it turns out that the dark things the cult people mess with aren't just some religious stuff or other superstition, but actual dark entities that are either very powerful in the wrong hands, or downright catastrophical when not kept under control. So there's that, too.

4. The characters getting their hands on something that a dangerous third party wants very, very badly, but which the characters cannot/won't give up for some reason

5. A dealer up to his eyes in debt and a relative of someone who died by overdose banding together to take out the top dog in the gang the dealer works for

6. Character A has an ability of some kind they can't really control. They're desperate to find out more about what they are and what they can do. Character B is tasked with convincing A into coming along to a place where B's colleagues can safely 'work with' A. B can reform at some point or be a full on villain; both works.


If one of these appeals to you, feel free to respond, either here or by shooting a pm.

Details: Freeform, adjustable length posts, long-term RP partner preferred.

I’m interested in idea number 6 with Olivia as character A. I have a few supernatural ideas of my own to mix into it if you are open to brainstorming. (:

Glad to hear that!
For six I'd put in Lance as the other character.
What other ideas did you have?

Olivia doesn’t know that she’s a fairy. She just thinks that she has some bizarre party tricks. Usually, she has better control but lately, for some reason, her abilities are hindering her. So she’s not horribly interested in the whys and more interested in successfully obtaining her targets again. When I write Olivia, I mostly place her in a universe that is aware of the benefits of fae blood for other supernatural beings. For example, if vampires drink fae, they are immuned to the sun for a couple hours.

If someone wanted to, considering her lack of knowledge of her own heritage, they could manipulate the situation for a bigger picture.

Sounds good. Perhaps someone wants a more steady supply of fairy blood (could be simply personal use, or maybe scientific research) and has tasked Lance to get her to come with him, maybe under the false pretense of knowing someone who could tell her more.
Yesssss.

I can supply the other “someone” just to throw another antagonist into the mix.

Ohh that would be cool! Maybe they could have some power or a spell of some kind that makes it easier for them to either control Lance to some degree or just ward him off; something that makes it a lot harder for him to just turn on them on a whim.

The someone that I’m thinking about is a witch so that would totally work. XD

Nice! I like it.
Also, how are you with violence? Normally Lance is the sort that isn't above pretty much anything if he wants something done, so should Olivia wisen up to him, he wouldn't feel to bad about being violent. If you're not comfortable with that, though, I can always tone it down.

Also, unrelated, but, is your username a pun on the word fiction?

Oh. My writing can get a little dark so I’m fine with violence.

Nah, my username is a mixture of letters from my real name. XD

Nice, nice. I think we're about ready to start then. I'd say we have a few options there;
- starting with Lance getting his instructions from the witch lady
- Lance and Olivia meeting for the first time
- The point where the two have already agreed to travel together

What has your preference?

I’d be fine with just telling you as the writer the witch’s plans so we can just skip to Olivia and Lance interaction. The witch is a male, btw. Haha. We can finally actually meet him later.

If that’s fine with you of course.
Sprokkelhout Topic Starter

Sounds good!
Haha, sorry, I associated the word witch with a lady. Dude works just as well; man or woman, it doesn't really matter who is controlling Lance, he hates it either way.
Once you've clued me in on what the witch wants and how exactly he's making sure Lance can't easily screw him over, I can set up the topic and do the opening post, if that's cool with you.

Perfectly cool with me. Do you want to set up a OOC thread as well?
Sprokkelhout Topic Starter

I usually just handle OOC stuff in brackets, I find it easier than keeping track of two threads for the same RP

Ah, okay. I’ll be willing to adjust to that for the sake of story.

I usually separate them or use Skype for OOC.
Sprokkelhout Topic Starter

Ahh okay. We could also always just use pm in case of ooc discussion maybe.

Oh so, you want to make a thread in the forum? I was thinking the rp was going to be through PM.
Sprokkelhout Topic Starter

That's kind of how I interpreted your comment, as I associated thread with forum, but purely pm works as well for me; I don't really have a strong preference, so if you prefer full-pm, we can just roll with that.

Yeah, sorry I can see how that was misinterpreted. Haha.

I’d much rather prefer PM.
