hola friends i should not be making this bc i'm already busy but whatever anyhow
anyone interested in joining me for this plot? it's a bit like the hunger games, if that interests u.
however, i require an average of 1000+ words per post aka an advanced writer
also someone who doesn't mind waiting a few days/weeks for a reply and can handle long-term roleplays
if u don't think u can do all of the above pls don't bother me lmao i reserve the right to reject u nd will not hesitate to tell u if ur writing isn't working for me. my muse is v particular, sorry
anyway u may recognize elements of this plot, it's a favorite of mine nd i want to bring it back since it's been a while
the setting:
set in an undisclosed time period that takes place in a very distant future (think post post-apocalyptic) many many years after nuclear war destroyed essentially every country and wiped the slate clean. to be more specific and hopefully paint a better picture, we'll be writing in what is essentially a new world, though the technology has been reverted back to mid/late 1900s-esque, ie: the height of luxury is essentially defined as having a corded telephone in your house and that's it. there are no televisions or computers, and if there are, the general population doesn't have access to or knowledge of them. cars are nonexistent, found only nonfunctional in museums as relics from before the war. weapons range from rocks to guns, nothing more. electricity is still used to light houses at night, but people live simply, almost primitive compared to our world today. geographically, countries have been rearranged by continent (so there's 7 countries total) but the governments and their rules are ill-defined and vary from city to city, so there's no sense of order and almost no communication between continents due to lack of remaining boats or airplanes.
okay so i only have like the beginning of a plot lol but it generally takes off on its own afterward so here it is :
the city that our characters are in is run by an oligarchy which essentially runs a fighting ring called the Arena, which sits in the center of the city. the fighters can be anywhere from 15 to 30, and they can be either "owned" by a member of the oligarchy or "free" to roam within city walls when they aren't required to fight. the city is well-guarded and closed off from the outside world, which is desolate and we'll say somewhere in what used to be maryland.
fighters are marked with a stamp of the oligarchy's symbol on the right inner forearm. relations with general population are hazardous, to say the least: fighters are adored in the arena because ppl can bet on them to win or lose. on the other hand, fighters are hated in the streets and seen as nothing more than stray dogs. because of this, fighters tend to stick to themselves, don't generally form friendships (dog-eat-dog world xD) so u can see where this is headed.
both characters are fighters, however, character A is owned and one of the best, character B is free and lesser known to the crowds. we would start with B witnessing A getting beat by their owner, after which A tries to see if B is alright. they are ambushed, most likely by a gang of other fighters. A will somehow save B, and B returns the favor by giving a coin to A (which A can't even use as an owned fighter but who cares it's the thought that counts)
and so begins a kind of back-and-forth of them trying to be even and not owe each other anything. eventually the idea is that this will turn into something resembling friendship, with them helping and protecting each other when on the streets. at some point we can discuss them trying to escape the city if we want to take it that direction, if not, we can brainstorm other things.
a few notes: this plot was created as mxf obviously, with the intention that i would have the male role ( A ) and my partner would have the female role ( B ) but we can discuss changing things. romance is not my priority here no matter what, if it happens it happens.
despite the fact that violence is inevitable, we're gonna keep it pg-13 pls nd thnx u.
feel free to be creative when coming up with your character's backstory, since i know i will be. they don't have to be cookie-cutter/born and raised in the city. tragedy/mystery is welcome.
if u want more info about the world that we'll be roleplaying in, lemme know. i got lots more details than is probably necessary lmao
