hello there! yes as you may have guessed this is my fourth thread searching for some roleplay partners. I've been trying to limit myself and not post too many, but I think it's high time for a fresh place, fresh faces.
anyway, I'm stardust, call me starry or dusty or whatever suits your fancy c;
- make sure we observe and uphold all forum rules, meaning anything here must be pg-13 or under. respect respect respect everything and everyone please
- I'm not worried about anyone's activity. I'm not on everyday, and I don't expect you to be either. But one reply a week, every two weeks, is fine. I'll be more active in the summer, but I have a job, and once college starts again, I can't promise anything, but I really like long term roleplays. Be my friend! ;D
- I only roleplay mxf and I will say right off the bat: I'd rather play the male role than the female, but I can roleplay both genders equally well. I also prefer to roleplay in pm, but if you absolutely abhor the idea for some reason, I can be flexible, and here is fine.
- all that I ask if you are interested this far is that you meet my writing requirements, which I try not to make too lofty bc I know I'm not always feeling up to immaculate posts every time. with this said, as of right now, I expect at least 25 lines or ~1000 words or four/five paragraphs per post. this is my average, which means sometimes it drops to two or three paragraphs, or jumps to seven or eight, but I always expect quality over quantity. I reserve the right to root around in your previous posts or ask for a sample of your average before we begin as well. it's not to discriminate anyone, and I'm more than willing to help people improve their writing if that's what they're here for, but I don't want anyone to get bored. this tends to happen when the pace is not quite the same for both sides, unfortunately. to summarize: I'm looking for advanced roleplayers. please do not be offended if I decide it won't work out; it's nothing personal, I just want everyone to be happy.
- as far as plots go, they're very loose and we can chit-chat to hash everything out. ask me if you're interested in a particular fandom, though I'll tell you, I only do OCs. I adore original plots though! I'm not too big on many specific time periods; I'd have to say 1850-2050 would be my limits, with my sweet spot somewhere in the 1990s if you get me <3 Keep in mind I like action and adventure. I'm not really a cheesy, fluffy-romance kind of girl. You'll find very few clichΓ©s here, sorry to tell you. I'm not cutting romance out completely, because I love feels and angst as much as the next guy, but I don't prefer plots that revolve only around that. okay, rant's done. here's the ideas.
~ Anyone read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children? I have a few characters in mind, and a very vague plot. It would take place after the third book, when most wights and hollows are eliminated, but there would still be a small pocket of them left trying to find a foothold so they can sort of complete their original goal with destruction or "freedom" of peculiardom, (SPOILER) since the library of souls is no more. (open)
~ Anyone interested in a plot about the pony express in 1860? (open)
~ What about train-hopping in 1930? (open)
~ I have a slight plot that involves illegal smuggling of immigrants across a border, doesn't really matter what countries. We'd be roleplaying the interactions and lasting impressions made between the immigrants and the coyotes (smugglers) and build on that. (open)
~ I'd love to do something like assassin's creed, or maybe jason bourne if anyone's interested. (open)

hey there. mind if I suggest a plot? after watching an episode of Black Mirror (season 3, episode 5, if you watch it), I've had a lot of muse for bringing back one of my old original characters. would you be interested in, pretty vaguely speaking, an engineered/mutated super-soldier plot, set somewhere in the dystopian future?

I do not watch that show, in fact, have never even heard of it! but not at all! go for it, I'd love to hear it since we're speaking pretty vaguely γ

no worries at all about the show, it's not at all crucial to understanding the plot. I was just sharing what had sparked my muse :^)
anyway--our two characters would be two of many of these mutated supersoldiers, all of which are held in subjugated, subhuman positions by a tyrannical government's army, who then uses them to enforce their will on a global scale. (I mean, my character is a mutant. yours could be a sympathetic general or caretaker or trainer, or something along those lines. up to you.) this could go a number of ways, but they all revolve around the soldier escaping the army's grasp. but what they do afterwards is totally up to us to decide--that plot is a mere skeleton. will they try to establish a life of normalcy? will they attempt to overthrow that government? will they dedicate themselves to helping civilians affected by the army? will they try to discover their origin? it's purposefully open ended (I find that plots that are too rigidly structured and specific stop appealing to me after a while).

sure can! I take it you'll be playing the girl, then, yes? shall we get started immediately, or would you like to plan ahead a bit, since there isn't much of a plot that I gave haha

yes, i'd like the girl if you don't mind. <3 whatever is easiest, but it might be helpful to plan out where to start a little bit?

(I'd be willing to give it a try if you're still open. My only warning is that I currently have a concussion and am very limited on my internet time, so how much I post kinda depends on the day and how I'm feeling. Also I tend to match my partner's length so I can dig out a sample that's more your level)

that actually sounds very interesting, and I'm not often one for dystopia because there's been so much in recent years. I wouldn't mind if both our characters were soldiers c; so what would be your first thought as to where they would go from there? all the options sound good honestly, it reminds me of another plot I have about fist-fighters who try to escape and take down the government lol it's never gotten that far though, so I like this!
&rose awesome! you think you can roleplay both a child and the woman? if not, that's totally fine, we can switch things up a bit. we would probably start the day she brings home let's say the fourth guy. Is there anything you'd like to discuss before I send you a pm, to make sure we're on the right page? Sounds good to me! I'm at work tonight though, so I probably won't be on much until tomorrow cx

hey eqi! mind if I call you that? first thing that came to mind ;D and that's quite alright, I certainly take my time with my posts and I would expect nothing else from my partners! and I know I said I reserve the right to ask for samples and such but I haven't yet and see no need to start now xD honestly, if we aren't quite a good fit, it'll be obvious within one or two posts so I'm not worried about it unless you are, dear. how'd you get a concussion if I may ask? are you okay?
&rose no problem! I'll send you a pm and we can finish our planning there if that's alright <3

Yeah, that's great! And don't worry about telling me if I'm not a good fit.I got my concussion by falling off a horse. Luckily it's not a severe one but it still isn't fun )

oh boy my friend broke her leg last year falling off a horse. it makes them seem kind of scary but honestly I adore them I wish I had easier access to them they're such magnificent creatures. I've only ever read a pony one time when I was younger, and it was on a stone path, led by someone walking with the reins lol but you're a brave one so that's awesome. so were you interested in anything on the first post? or did you want to do a fandom of some kind? or an original plot of yours? what's on your mind ;D

They're awesome and riding is so much fun. I'd have a horse if I could afford the care but I can't so I have weekly riding lessons and hopefully a lease in the future. Yeah it's easy to forget how dangerous they are cause they're normally super gentle and adorable. I just started jumping and lost my balance when we landed.
Anyway, I have a few original plots of my own. One of them is about a pair of teenagers that survive some kind of accident on a field trip (when I've done this in the past, their bus went off the road and they were the only survivors) and they have no phones and have to make their way back to civilization while injured and scared and unprepared.
I have another one that would be better if we both played two characters maybe? And basically it's a group of friends spent winter break at one of their grandpa's cabin. A blizzard comes and knocks out power and closes off roads and again it's kinda a survival thing.
Another one is a boy and girl that are complete opposites never talk or interact at school. When they sleep though, they both enter this dream world where there superheroes and fight crime together. They become good friends in this world. One night, one of them accidentally unmasks the other and they find out who they are. Then the injuries they sustain in this dream world actually happen to them in real life too. I don't really know where to go from there with this but I like the idea so if you have any suggestions.
Those are my only more developed ones. I can elaborate on any of you have questions. I have basic ideas like two kids with powers on the run or something where a virus is like taking over the country.

I'm a sucker for survival stories I gotta say as long as they aren't too overused haha I like both the field trip and the blizzard one idk which would be better ugh decisions are my enemy the field trip seems like it could get repetitive so maybe the blizzard one? idk uuuggghhh also where do you think we would go with it? I'm sure it will be exciting at first, but then someone's gotta die eventually xD or finally make it back so what were your plans if any at all???

For the field trip one, I planned on them finding like a cabin in the woods that the owners weren't home but like again no phone or internet or anything. I don't really have any plans for either of them, I just really love survival stories. If you have any ideas for them we could incorporate that. I feel like we could just throw problems at them. I'm actually writing a story based on the blizzard one and I had one of the guys break his ankle so they have to deal with an injury and stuff. So idk we could just like throw different stuff at them. I gotta go for the night so I can brainstorm a bit and bring you any other ideas tomorrow? Like I said unless you have ideas. Sorry if that was a bit confusing. I'm tired.

alright that makes more sense. and it's not a problem, get some rest, imma do the same here shortly ;D I'll do some brainstorming as well and get back to you sometime tomorrow. honestly, I think no matter what direction it goes, I adore survival stories too so it won't matter; we'll think of something haha until then, adieu <3

yee I think it's better to decide that later, tbh 'cause we could always choose a path to an ending and then change our minds. I'm leaning toward a rebellion doomed to fail of course but we'll see! I think we should worry about them getting out first haha and trying to get far enough away to be normal, sounds super cute actually I'll send a pm and we can do final touches and start there! ;D

okay, agreed. but yes I think it could be really cute for them to discover new things and get to have the adolescence/adult lives they were deprived of :'^( but yes! sounds good. my character form's already done, so.. yeah! let's figure out the setting/any more plotting, then get this thang going lmao

Hey! I was thinking either plot we do we should have twoish characters each because then there's gonna be a lot more issues with an entire group than just two people. And that's what I like about survival like the group interaction part. And I think that would add a lot more interest/excitement. Other than that I couldn't really think of much.
But kinda off topic do you watch the show The Night Shift?

agreed! I haven't come up with anything either. we probably will once we start haha and no I do not, but I think I've heard of it, why?

Post by . on Jun 15, 2017 12:58:04 GMT -5
So do you like the blizzard one or the field trip one?
I thought that'd be another option for a plot, but it probably wouldn't have worked out cause I don't know a lot about the emergency room

Post by ππππππππ on Jun 15, 2017 13:00:45 GMT -5
probably the blizzard one. it's more intense and dangerous honestly and better suited to my tastes bc winter is my favorite thing ever invented xD yea my knowledge is limited when it comes to that as well. we probably could have pulled it off, but I think survival is the route to go. so, shall I send you a pm and we can get started?

I've been dying to do the blizzard one for a while, so I'm ready when you are. I love winter and all my friends think I'm crazy. Don't love driving in it though
