Hey there!
Sorry, by the way, but I'm not very used to these forums so you may have to bear with me.
I'm Issi, and I am looking for an advanced role-play partner (15+ lines, at least) who is willing to rp historical with me. I have a few plots in mind, but I am willing to hear any plots that you have.
I love any era in history and so it's fine with me whatever we rp. However, the further you go back in history the more I love the history, to be honest.
So, if you think you'd like to rp with me, just let me know!

Thanks! I love all of the Undertale stuff by the way! I play it with my friend who has the game but I'm trying to save up to get the full game for myself.
Oh, awesome! Do tell me more

OOC CHATTER - *Mettaton
how dare you. XD
I'm thinking that my character is a vetran from a war that happened far in the future and is currently living in the past because he was one of the few that got injured and survived and is often riticuled for it.

Oops - I've had worse with this computer. It usually autocorrects Mettaton into Mega ton or something, like two separate words. It's the worst. UGH XD
Ooh okay, interesting. So he goes into the past….there are lots of time periods that would make a war veteran feel right at home.
OOOOHHHHH here's an idea.
So there was a uprising in Ancient Rome - y'know, Spartacus. Maybe your guy goes into Ancient Rome or something, sees all of the terrible stuff going on, and he starts the uprisings. So like the story of Spartacus, but Spartacus is actually a guy from the future.
Obviously he doesn't need to have the same name. And we'd figure out somewhere for my character to slot in.

OOC CHATTER - hmmm I don't know if I like that idea to be honest. Mostly because I still don't really know anything about about Spartacus.
We could still do Ancient Rome perhaps. Your character could be coming to visit for a vacation and they meet mine by accident and note that he has a some technology that he shouldn't? - ROLEPLAY - -

That's totally fine, I get it x I didn't want to go into too much detail about it because it was a slave uprising and to be honest I don't know how much detail I could have gone into. So fair enough.
Yeah, that definitely sounds good. So we've got my character in Ancient Rome who meets your charrie and happens to notice that they have some technology they shouldn't. So are we looking at this from the perspective that my character lives in Ancient Rome or that they're also a time traveller taking a holiday?
Also, what character pairings are we looking at here, because I am fine with anything.

OOC CHATTER - At the moment, I don't think that I'll have romance right away because I'm not sure what Liam's orentation is going to be. He's 34-ish, so you know.
I think that it might work better if they're a time traveller taking a holiday. Maybe they could be from the time before the war that Liam was in? - ROLEPLAY - -

Sorry for poofing. My sister's dog started trying to eat wallpapering implements XD
Yeah, I get that, it's totally fine. I don't tend to go in for romance, but I always just check anyway.
Alright then, that sounds great. We could also more stuff - like maybe my character or yours gets into a spot of bother with the Emperor or the general Roman authorities

[sorry for poof x I can't remember how long your posts tend to be, so obviously I can make them longer]
Vega, though here she was known as Valaria, had only been in Rome for a few days. She liked coming to Ancient Rome because she was very inconspicuous here - she had the Roman looks. Her skin was olive-toned, and she was petite and slim. She had the aquiline nose, paired with full lips, a wide jaw, and tumbling dark curls secured in a coronet style atop her head.
She was perusing a Roman marketplace - well, the parts she liked. She despised the part closest to the Coliseum, where vendors dealt in snacks for the arena, but also slaves and animals, as if people were of no more value than the food patrons ate during the entertainment within the Arena. No, her favourite part was closer to the centre of the city; it always smelt of spices, and dealt in clothes and silks and commodities from the farthest reaches of the Roman Empire.
Then, just as she was leaning in to examine a bracelet of coloured glass beads from Egypt, something came across her field of vision. She knew instantly what it was.
Vega owned contact lenses which, like a computer, served as her way of communication and her way of accessing the internet. Everyone had them back home. Hers were set to activate and access the internet as soon as they detected a wifi signal.
She left the stall, ignoring the questioning looks of the vendor, who had probably only seen the woman tense and then move away. Blinking twice in rapid succession, she turned off her contacts, and looked around, hazel eyes searching.
Someone else was here. But who? She would have to find out.
Another time-traveller was here, and someone who was wearing some kind of technology that emitted internet signals. If someone noticed the futuristic technology they could be in a lot of trouble. Time-travelling without being found out was difficult and dangerous enough without having technology to give them away. She would have to locate this person before someone else did.

"I am absolutely fabulous."
OOC CHATTER - - ROLEPLAY - William 'Liam' Rhett had moved to Ancient Rome a few years ago, shortly after the war. He only did so as his injury left him open to attacks by strangers who condemned him for not fixing what was wrong with his body. He didn't care much for enhancements, preferring the types of technologies that came with gadgets. When he had arrived in Rome, he had done his best to not be found out by other travellers. He hadn't set up anything for himself and had tried to act like every other citizen in this humbug time. He had done it for a few months, but had changed it up and had truly set up his home many a year ago. He hadn't been caught yet.
His home was a simple villa on the outskirts of the town. He mostly kept to himself and ventured out only when he needed food. He was out at the moment, so it happened. He limped with each step, relying heavily on his cane - which to the Romans would seem like fancy wood - but it was an onyx cane carved from the stone itself. It was actually where the wi-fi signal was coming from, and as it was on his person all the time, it wasn't often that it was picked up.
Liam limped past Vega and towards the stall that she had just left when he turned his head to face her briefly. He knew a lot of faces in this town - admitatly, not all of them - but this one was new. Different.
"Good shopping today, Miss?" He asked politely, his accent far beyond what it should be of this time. -
"Knock 'em dead, darling."

Vega had been turned away from the man with the cane until he had addressed her, at which she turned around - of course, she could not have engaged with him unless he spoke to her first; it simply wasn't done.
"Quite, sir," Vega replied, dipping her head in polite greeting. As she did, her eyes fell on his cane.
She had picked up on the accent, thinking it strange. She didn't recognise it as a Roman one - but of course, the Empire was extensive and he may just have come from a different part of it. But the cane seemed out of place too, and she had seen nothing like it in all of the trips she had taken to Ancient Rome.
"What an interesting cane, sir" Vega remarked "I wager it must have been expensive"
A reactivation of her lenses required another two quick blinks from Vega, but confirmed what she had suspected. The signal was coming from something on the person of this man. And she suspected that she knew what it was. That cane had caught her eye from the moment she saw the man, and she was almost certain that it was this that was giving off the wifi signal.
"Forgive me, sir, if I am mistaken at all" Vega spoke quickly, biting her lip and looking around for somewhere where they might speak without being overheard by the gossip-hungry masses of Rome "but I feel that we have much to talk about. Let us go to a quiet place where we may discuss matters out of the public eye and without interruption"
This man did not seem like a amateur either at time travel or living in this time, though she highly suspected that in whatever time he had spent here he had seldom come across other time travellers. Vega herself had only crossed paths with others who could time travel once or twice, but she knew at least had a vague idea on how to deal with these situations.

"I am absolutely fabulous."
OOC CHATTER - - ROLEPLAY - Liam chuckled softly. "If you know who I am, there is no need to be so formal with me." He nodded down the path. "My villa is down the road. If you are as smart as I believe you are, then you should see it right away." He gave her a wink before limping into the stall where she had been before. He was running low on food, and the supplies that they had in this time were actually quite good. Not full of all the stuff from his own time.
Liam had been referring to the hologram outside of his home. It was only visible by the people who wore the contacts and it was only a very simple plant type thing that - should the hologram malfunction - it would not be out of place in a roman city. Vega wasn't the first time traveller that he had encountered and he doubted that she would be the last. He picked up a loaf of bread to inspect it and smiled as he handed over his money for it before he started to make his way back to his home. -

"I had to make sure you are who I think you are" Vega had said simply when he laughed at her formality "But fine, I will meet you there soon"
She watched the man limp away, her eyes fixing on his injured leg. Had he already gotten himself into trouble here? The wound looked old, though. Had he been here long? These were all questions she would have to ask him all of these things when she saw him next.
She blinked twice, reactivating her lenses in case there was something to be seen through them. Sure enough, a flickering plant came into her vision. Bingo. He had a hologram.
Blinking again to shut off the lenses, she made her way towards the villa, ducking and weaving as she made her way through the crowd. She would get there before he did, hopefully, as it would be easier for her to go there unnoticed if he wasn't standing outside.
She had to constantly think about her place as a woman. If she approached a man outside of his house, it may seem strange, but if she waited outside of the house it might seem a little less suspicious; she might simply be a bored housewife calling her children away from the games being played in the streets. In her own time women wee equal to men and nobody would think it was strange for a woman to do anything. But in Rome it was quite different. If a woman was out of her house, she should be either at the market or the baths, otherwise it was unusual.
But soon, she was leaning against the wall of the man's villa, watching to see him moving through the crowd.

"I am absolutely fabulous."
OOC CHATTER - bleh post. Sorry I'm getting read for bed. - ROLEPLAY - Liam limped past her and onto his home, holding his door open with his cane as he waited for Vega to enter. He leant half on his door and half on the cane that was supporting the door open. It was easier to stay upright in his home, he being half crippled, needed some way for him to move around his own home and not have to rely on his cane.
Once Vega was inside he swung the door open and moved further into his home. "Make yourself at home. When are you from?" He asked, limping over to the table in the middle of the foyer, where there was a small spinning magnetic spinning scupture. -

[Yeah, she'll be from before the war, but I'll make it close enough so that she understands the stuff from the runup to the war. She travels so much to escape the stuff going on, and maybe he can warn her about what's going to happen and they have to try and change it]
Vega smiled in thanks as he held the door open, stopping to look at him when he asked her when she was from.
"I'm from 2288" Vega replied "Holidaying to escape politics, you know. My name's Vega, by the way. And what about you? When are you from, then?"
She was curious; she recognised the cane as something that was in development in her own time, but they weren't actually made yet. So he must be from at least a few years later than Vega herself.
As she spoke, she undid the coronet in her hair; it was a tight and painful style, but Roman fashion demanded it. Her hair hung loose, but she glanced at the windows to see if anyone was able to see in and able to see that she had her hair down like the people the Romans would have called uncivilised or barbarian.

"I am absolutely fabulous."
OOC CHATTER - - ROLEPLAY - Liam sighed softly. If only it had been that easy. Just disappear into the pat and forget about the war. As he picked up a glass and a bottle of Amber liquid he sighed. It really was that easy, wasn't it? "2299." He responded. "William Rhett. Friends called me Liam." He didn't want to say anything about the war, but by how she spoke of the politics, she knew about it anyway. He brought the scotch to his lips as he watched her remove her bun.
"You're safe to do what you want in here. There is a guise on the windows that hide my activities that could be considered less than Roman. While you're in here you are safe, but please don't being me any trouble. It is the last thing I need considering that I can't run." With the glass of scotch still in his hand, he limped over and sat down on one of the wicker chairs. "Help yourself." He gestured to the glass tumbler. -
