i may or may not give this a fancy title and post later. for now, it's time to discuss plot
so, i don't like romance to be the main plot... but i do enjoy it as a sub plot. is that okay with you? also, i take on the role of side characters too throughout the roleplay... i feel like it keeps things flowing better. i wanted my main character to be female however, would that be okay as well?

ahahah i love this title lol it's cute <3
i have no qualms with romance! important to note in that regard is that most of my characters are not straight, but i have no problem with writing mxf relationships, so long as it works with the characters involved and their sexualities ofc. or literally any other pairing for that matter, whatever feels natural with the characters is my general rule.
as for side characters, i like writing them as well. usually it becomes pretty easy to figure out who it's more convenient for to write a certain character though, so that shouldn't be a problem.
definitely okay with me! is it important to you that i play a guy opposite her or no? if it is, that's okay, and if not, we'll see who i end up chosing. i don't have a character in mind yet, and don't mind being restricted in what gender i end up writing, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the title played in my mind once and i was like yep this is it < 3
if you wouldn't mind playing a guy opposite her as your main character, that would be great. i am a bisexual gal irl tho, so my female characters tend to mirror that, so who knows what could happen (x

i already know what character i'm going to use, but i just need to now take ten million years to decide what kind of supernatural she's going to be : p also i'm not really worried about a character form cause i don't feel like making one but if you want to post one for whatever character you're using that's cool (:
also gonna start thinking up how to start.. if you have any ideas feel free to shoot

i'll probably end up making one bc i don't function without them ahahah but definitely no need for you to, i just need a space to gather my thoughts on a character.
it's late here, about 1:40 am, so i might not get much more done tonight, but hopefully tomorrow c: i'll do some thinking on setting, conflict and character in the meantime.

im thinking my guy will be a witch, I'm getting some witchy vibes haha
what was your idea? I had this idea of the two of them meeting and getting to know each other in the human world (college, maybe? high school if that's the age we're going for) and trying to keep their identities under wraps while things get progressively more out of hand. alternatively, there's the classic feud between their kinds, which could either be mutual or a hunter/hunted situation and then the fall out that causes

okay forget my idea it was pretty generic lols, i'm rockin' with yours more i was aiming for like early 20s so college sounds good! my character will be 21
so in my head i was picturing that not only are there feuds between different supernaturals, but amongst their own groups as well. so let's say the werewolf packs in town have been fighting with each other pretty badly, to the point were they're putting all the supernaturals at risk of being exposed. the officials in the town that know about the supernaturals trust in the witches the most, because they're the most ~human~ and the witches sort of have a current job to hunt down werewolves and pinpoint who's at fault for all these issues, or something like that. basically, these werewolves are at the bottom of the totem pole right now.
sorry if that's all over the place, i'm still brainstorming lolol

no no, i like that! supernatural politics are fun haha! so we'll be doing kind of a combined thing, where werewolves and witches are feuding (the witches might even be "keeping the werewolves under control" or whatever) and the two of them are trying to keep their non humanness hidden from each other? sounds like loads of fun haha

yeah, the witches are basically trying to keep the werewolves under control under orders, but there's loads of room for drama on every end. i guess that means i'll be in control of the werewolf lore, and you in charge of the witch lore... as for the vampires, we'll figure that part out cause i definitely want them to be included (x
& also yeah they meet at college (maybe are paired for a project or something? or simply hit it off...or don't) and we could just go from there as they start getting a little sus of each other
i guess we should discuss a setting

oo the drama! super fun, I'm so down! and yeah, me taking witch lore and you taking werewolf lore sounds like a plan. vampires we can figure out when they become relevant
setting, yes! tbh I'm feeling like maybe a mid sized university town? a few hundred thousand people, mostly gathered around the university, maybe with a larger more urban city not far away? or did you have any thoughts?

aesthetics wise i was thinking something like this city you've almost certainly never heard of (link now goes to just an image, but the city is called uppsala if you'd like to do a google image search and scroll a little) but if you had something else in mind, let me know!
good luck at work! i'm starting to write up my character form now, so it should be up soon c:

Alvin "Allie" Steele - 22 - fc
Allie is a man of rather average stature, 5'10 on a good day and just shy most times you ask. He has a rectangular build and is toned, but not muscular. While its almost certain he could build muscle quite easily, should he dedicate time and effort to it, that's simply not something he's ever felt the need to do. His dark hair is thick and loosely curled and rather long, and as a result it's hard to tame and tends to have a mind of his own. His eyes are a light brown, almost caramel. His facial features are all on the larger side, something he is highly aware of and unsure what he feels about. Allie's fashion sense is playful and inconsistent, he's the kind to buy an item of clothing because he likes it on its own and without considering how it goes with everything else already in his wardrobe. Most of the time, he manages to pull his ensembles off regardless, but every now and again he strikes out entirely, something he finds greatly amusing.
Allie is, generally speaking, a serious man. He approaches every situation with an air of severity, and it may take him a while to relax and let loose, even with people he knows. That being said, he has a sense of humour, especially regarding himself, and can surprise with his playfulness and joking demeanor once he's properly read a situation and assessed it to be appropriate. While unapologetic, Alvin tries his best to not have to apologise at all, as he considers that the best solution for everyone, and he expects the same from others. Politeness is very important to him, and he doesn't take well to people being impolite or even rude with him without proper warning or boundaries set. While he wouldn't describe himself as such, Allie is considered a kind and generous man by the people around him, and he usually welcomes people in need of support. He's not the kind to go out of his way to find ways to help others, but if he is asked, he'll nearly always do what he can to help. Despite what one might assume, Alvin does not much value honesty. He is honest where possible, but is a good liar and unashamed of it, and will often lie for selfish reasons. He expects this same behavior from others, and so isn't very trusting, but enjoys socializing nonetheless. Not everything said must be true for it to be a bonding experience, he argues.
As a witch, Alvin has a supernatural connection to all that is natural and may manipulate it to his will through spells. These usually require sacrifice of some kind. For smaller spells, a tear cried or a hair pulled will suffice, but for bigger, more demanding spells, drops of his blood may be required for it to work properly. On top of this sacrifice, witches will speak as little as a word or as much as monologues to speak their will into being. Families of witches tend to have an affinity for a certain kind of magic, though this is not always the case. Where it is, it's nearly always passed from mother to child. Affinities, or alignments, make for far easier spellcasting that may not require sacrifice at all, though that depends of the strength of it. Generally speaking, the stronger your affinity is, the easier those kinds of spells will be to cast, but the harder it will be to do anything else. Allie's affinity is in enchantment, affecting and to a certain extent reading minds and emotions. Emotions are easy for him to manipulate, whereas minds are far harder to affect. This lines up with his biological mother. His father, who he has no contact with, had an affinity for divination, and his mother's wife, Amara, who he calls Ma, has an affinity for illusion casting. He enjoys her kind of magic more, and so does more work outside his alignment than within it, studying illusion work under her tutelage, something uncommon but not unheard of in witch circles. Nature aligned witches are considered to most powerful, and though this might not always be true, they are the rarest save for necromancers, who are looked down upon and shunned by most witches.

no worries, hope you're doing better this week!
haha yeah, that's totally fine! i assumed it would be set across the pond, so that's no problem! you'll have to bear with me bc i'm not american so i won't be spot on with like, college/education stuff, but i don't doubt i've consumed more american media than you have swedish media, so i'm totally a-okay with doing a little research. besides, if we're throwing werewolves and witches into the mix, it's not like a little inaccuracy will be out of place lmao
whichever feels better for you ~ i have no preference either way.
