Hey there~ I've just graduated from college and have a sudden influx of free time that I need to fill. I'd love to start some 1 on 1 threads. I have some plots in mind that I'd love to play, but I'd also love to hear your plot ideas or some interesting spins to the ones that I have thought up. Some things first:
Activity: The truth is I'm bored out of my mind and desperate for roleplay x3 I'm looking for people who can post daily, preferably more than once a day. It's a high bar (I know) so I'm not going to get on your back all the time about it (life is a thing and not everyone is graduated haha, tl;dr i want daily rps but im flexible on this).
Length: I tend to post a minimum of two paragraphs per character, but I often go longer. I ask you try to maintain two paragraphs that have material my characters can interact with and respond to in your posts. And that leads to:
Characters: Since these are 1 on 1s, we have to populate clans ourselves. I keep character charts tracking every cat and ask for both of us to take on approximately equal numbers of characters, probably around a dozen or more as we continue on.
Here are plots I want to roleplay so far:
Plot 1: A forbidden love plot that takes place between two apprentices in two different clans. I've conceptualized it as being two of the original clans in the lake territories, but it doesn't really have to be there.
The two apprentices are 10 or 11 moons, close to becoming warriors. They have met a couple times at Gatherings and after the last one, about a quarter-moon ago, Muse 1 (your character) asked Muse 2 (my character) to meet at the border between the clans at Moonhigh. Muse 2 agrees and the roleplay starts at this meeting. They don't know each other very well, but their conversations have been nice and they have left behind a history of hostility between their clans to speak with each other during the Gatherings.
But neither of the apprentices understand where the hostility comes from. Muse 1 lost her mother just after being born and was nursed by a foster mother. Muse 2's father lost his eyes after a grave injury in battle against Muse 1's clan and has hated the clan from the core of his soul since then. And unbeknonwst to either of the apprentices, Muse 1's mother was killed in a misunderstanding on the border, by Muse 2's father.
As the meetings between the two apprentices increase in frequency and they approach becoming warriors, cats begin to catch onto what is going on since the apprentices don't spend every moment expressing hate for each other. Slowly, the truth of why Muse 1 lost her mother and why Muse 2 couldn't grow and hunt with his father begins to come out to them, complicating their relationship.
(There is a lot going on here, so let me know if anything isn't clear.)
Plot 2: Apprentice A and Apprentice B have been friends since their kithood. Since they became apprentices they have trained together, and practically the whole clan could see them growing closer and closer to the point where even warriors weren't giving them grief about their feelings for each other at such a young age.
Though they obviously feel for each other, everything changes when Apprentice B's parent is killed. Apprentice A appears to be the one who has committed the murder, though the reason for this doesn't seem to be completely clear--though at that point, Apprentice C chimes in and suggests that perhaps Apprentice B's parent did not like the relationship, and Apprentice A killed them to keep the parent from separating them. This takes root more strongly than Apprentice A can combat, and he is expelled from the clan.
From here, Apprentice B struggles to reconcile the connection and developing affection they had for Apprentice A with the hate that should come from believing Apprentice A killed their parent--they aren't even certain Apprentice A did murder their parent, because it seems so out of character, but with Apprentice C whispering in their ear it becomes hard to trust Apprentice A.
For some reason (needing to be developed) Apprentice A and Apprentice B encounter each other and though the encounter is initially hostile, Apprentice A practically begs Apprentice B to hear them out, and Apprentice B does and begins to doubt the story the clan believed.
Plot 3: Young warriors A and B have disliked each other since they were apprentices. Initially, they had a friendly competition with each other that seemed to be blooming into more than a friendship, but when Warrior A failed to save Warrior B's brother in a border skirmish against Riverclan when they were both apprentices, she never forgave Warrior A and has blamed him since then.
Then, Warrior A loses both of his parents when they are ambushed by a family of foxes. His parents both sacrifice themselves to give him a chance to flee, and as he is injured he has no choice but to run. Traumatized by the sounds of his parents being killed and the fact that he fled like a coward, Warrior A isn't the same anymore.
This is when Warrior B's feelings grow more conflicted about him. Still not absolving Warrior A of the blame for her brother's death, Warrior B starts to feel empathetic to his loss and can see how different and closed off he becomes. Amidst her own conflict, Warrior B starts reaching out to him in small ways, and their relationship starts on a slow path to mending as they reckon with the increasingly hostile RiverClan, and both of their respective losses dig up trauma and pain from the past on top of it all.
