Hello, first week back and first attempt to get an off topic roleplay going since the last time I was here, which was back in 2019. Even longer since I had an rp go for longer than a few weeks. Not the best track record, but it was quite a different and crazy busy time for me. Life finally calmed down somewhat, so here I am
Another plot that I repurposed. I am fairly open with changing up a lot about this. Like before, I am going to bold anything I would like to keep the same.
The main plot of the rp centers mostly around the friendship between our characters, not romance. There is 0 restrictions on gender/sexuality as the character I am planning on using/rewriting for this rp is ace.
Time period reference: around early middle ages to high middle ages
Setting: A country that puts heavy importance on religion. The capitol city is a fairly large city surrounding a crater.

Info about the two gods/festivals:

The current plot:
THIS PARTICULAR 1x1 HAS BEEN TAKEN. I AM STILL WILLING TO RP, BUT UNTIL I REVAMP SOME OF MY OTHER PLOTS/MAKE NEW ONES I WONT BE ADDING THEM.
Still feel free to message me if you want to rp
I ended up going through a lot of my old search threads, to see if there was any ideas that I had that still catches my attention. As it stands, a couple of them did but one in particular seemed fleshed out enough to make for a pretty fun 1x1 rp.
Original Thread
Now I already notice problems with this idea, mostly that I ended up being a bit too controlling on who the characters are. I want this to be an rp where we can both work on the plot so it is a story we both want to play out. I am willing to make adjustments to the following, but there are a few main points that would like to stay the same:
I did a minor rewrite of the original background, this mostly focuses on my character as I want to leave the background of your character as open ended as possible.
The world of this rp has many fantasy creatures, ranging from ghosts and fairies all the way up to dragons and celestial beings. With magic and technology working in unison, many aspects of life have been both improved and streamlined through the ages. The only concept that is not well known is the cycle of rebirth. In theory, there is a cycle of rebirth, but it is such a rare phenomenon that in science, it isn't studied, and to most people, it is just fiction.
My character, Julia, however finds herself growing up with vague memories of back when castles were lived in and knights valiantly rode horses. She remembered details, but struggled with piecing those details together. She eventually remembered someone else who was by her side, your character, and slowly but surely it became the part of her past life that she remembered the clearest. Desperate to find your character, she started her search.
She ended up writing a book recounting a part of her past life, though not finishing her story. Her intention was to have the one she was looking for finish the story, ending the book with 'For ___, you know the end' (the name of your character's past life) so they know. Or at least that was the plan. The book was a hit, she was pressured to write more books and eventually she gave up, reasoning that if he was out there, he would have already shown himself. She released the second book, and started planning the third. The third book would finish out her past life, and she would bury her past. It had become almost too painful to think about it.
She was approached by a film studio about adapting her first book into a movie. She agreed, though the thought of them messing up her past was more painful than thinking about it, so she had the condition on working closely with the production team.
Your character has a few options to go for. I am okay with discussing this but the biggest thing is that our characters either don't know or are uncertain on if the other is their past love. For some reason, they are in the area during the start of the movie production and we can go from there.
My character (mostly just pulled from the old thread as a lot of the key details about her character won't change)
Julia [past life: Amaryllis] | Female | 22 | Firebird
A firebird is a medium sized bird with a plume and long tail feathers that glow red, orange or yellow. They are cousins to the phoenix, but don't have the same rebirth abilities. The feathers do not stop glowing even if removed, and one is enough to light a full room with no trouble. The glow of the firebird is said to have natural healing properties, as many patients who were tended under the light of the firebird's feather reported to have been healed faster than those who were not. Firebirds are considered beautiful singers, their calls once were descried as if pearls were coming from their beaks. Most older Firebirds are able to transform between a human and bird form, the human form's hair keeping the same color as their feathers.
Julia is an average firebird with no special abilities, she has long red-orange hair and she is a bit smaller than others of her species. Her eyes are a piercing icy blue to match her almost crystal like eyes of her bird form. She normally tries to wear comfortable clothes, opting for a baggy sweatshirt and baggy shorts on her day to day life. Obviously for book signings she has to wear more formal attire, and so she settles for a white short sleeved dress that goes just barely down to her knees.
Julia is very excitable, she almost always expresses her excitement in grabbing the thing nearest to her and holding her breath. She is very open about her life and has done many q and a's about her day to day and her family's business. She is very uncertain about her future, having spent most of her life chasing someone who probably doesn't exist in this time period. This mentality has made her a bit jaded on love in general. She believes in it, but believes that she will never experience it in this life.
Amaryllis is a lot different personality wise to Julia, she is very hard headed and stubborn to what she wants to happen. She is very slow to trust and very quick to distrust. She does try to keep conversations she has with those she trusts light, still tending to be rather closed off about her past and her feelings. The only person she truly opened up to was your character.
I want to be clear about a few things:
- I am 25 years old: I would like to have a RP partner that is 18+, especially given the romantic nature of this rp.
- About said romance: I am not super confident with rping pairings other than MxF, however I am confident with non romantic rps. If you have a character you want to use, but they would not fit into the MxF pairing, we can work on another rp where romance isn't the central point. I do not want anyone to feel excluded from rping with me because of gender or orientation.
- Godmodding, powerplaying or spotlighting: To me they are strange because it feels each person has a different definition for what they mean, which is why they are all mixed together in this. General rule of thumb: I will not take control of your character, and will not tolerate you doing the same with mine. While the nature of this particular rp has the potential to have powerful characters, they are not invincible. Spotlighting is a bit of a strange one, especially for a 1x1. In general, there will be many points where the main conflict will center mostly around one of our characters. I would like this to be generally even, but if the rp is more fun having a tighter focus on one of our characters, then I am fine with that. It will have to be something we discuss as the rp goes on.
- People have flaws, no one is perfect: I would like our characters to reflect this, even if those flaws show themselves through the rp rather than in the description (I personally feel my character description isn't 100% accurate on what some of her planned flaws are)
- Literacy: something that is somewhat important to me. I don't require a certain amount of sentences per reply, but I do require something that I can reply to. I will let you know if I am having trouble finding a way to reply to you if the problem is just lack of content from your end. I would like the same thing the other way. If I don't give enough for you to reply to, let me know and I will adjust my response.
- Being active: I don't expect you to be on all the time, people have lives. This has become more and more clear throughout the last few years. I would like a heads up, however if you are either going to be gone for a while for any reason, or if you are dropping the rp all together. If you have a sudden absence for whatever reason and come back still wanting to continue the rp, send me a message. Chances are I still am willing to continue the rp and there will be no hard feelings because life happens. All I ask for is the same courtesy.
- Opinions: I want to hear your opinions on the plot itself. While I mentally have quite a bit that can happen in the rp, I didn't write them down because I want to be able to allow planning between the two of us to really make this rp something we can both enjoy
- If you want to rp, but it isn't this rp, let me know what types you like and we can discuss. While I would prefer to do this RP, I am willing to work with you if you want to do a 1x1 but not this. I do have some 1x1's from the past that I can rework to be a bit better and a bit more open to change. Just let me know
Another plot that I repurposed. I am fairly open with changing up a lot about this. Like before, I am going to bold anything I would like to keep the same.
The main plot of the rp centers mostly around the friendship between our characters, not romance. There is 0 restrictions on gender/sexuality as the character I am planning on using/rewriting for this rp is ace.
Time period reference: around early middle ages to high middle ages
Setting: A country that puts heavy importance on religion. The capitol city is a fairly large city surrounding a crater.
Background:
Long ago, there were two gods. They were in the middle of a war (willing to discuss reasonings). One was a being like the sun. A strong protector who fought with their melee weapons. The other was one like the moon. Cooler, adept at healing and would prefer to take fights long range. They were an equal match, and caused devastation wherever they fought. The people of the time prayed that the two would mend their differences and stop their fight, and when they finally answered, the two saw what they had done. The terrain was forever changed, what was once a relatively flat area was now littered with mountains and ravines. The two stopped their war that day, and vowed to protect the people who begged them to stop fighting.
However, it became clear to the people that while they were gods, they were not completely immortal. Their lives were long and they couldn't be killed by normal means, but when their lives reached their end, they would die. The two assured their people that they would return. They said that if they took human forms, they could most of their power through their memories, but could protect the land forever through the rebirthing process. This arrangement started out well, the two who remembered they were the gods would come to the church situated in the crater to continue protecting their people, and when they died, they would come back.
A few generations later, the two gods struggled more and more with remembering who they were. What once only took 10 years to remember, now took nearly 20 and up to 50. They told the church that they would have to find them in their next life, and for a couple generations, they followed their will. Eventually, they questioned why they even had to do that, even when they found their gods, they barely remembered who they were, so why couldn't they just grab someone who would fit the bill?
That leads to the current generation. It had been a long time since the two true gods were in the church. Sometimes they would get one, but never both. Their memories were vague, and with the vague memories it made it difficult for them to use their powers, so most people don't question why their gods weren't as powerful as they once were. The two 'gods' were now figureheads of the church.

Info about the two gods/festivals:
Every year, on the anniversary of the end of the war, a festival is held at the capitol where the two current gods put on a performance that mirrors their fight many years ago.
The temple the gods stay at is in a crater created during this war.
Sun God's duties: Any familial relationship is blessed by them, when new children are born they are brought upon them to be blessed. When marriages are finalized, they are brought before them as well,
Moon God's duties: Any non-familial relationships. When someone decides to marry someone else, they come before them to get their decision blessed. Any friendships can be blessed as well, but the ones that are mostly brought forward are close, almost like family, friendships.
Shared: At the age of 10 [the same age the deities would originally come forward], children choose their path in life. They are blessed by the two. They also pick a patron between the two, getting a second blessing by either the sun god or the moon god.

Main Abilities:
Moon: Healing, ability to summon any ranged weapon/is proficient, able to hide really well
Sun: Protection, ability to summon any melee weapons/is proficient, ability to [there was a third one but for the life of me I can't find it. Since you would end up being the Sun god, that is absolutely up for discussion)
The two used to be able to 'bless' people with their weapons, this ability is currently been lost as their memories faded over the generations.
Their other blessings can take on many forms, what happens with a blessing is up for discussion on how many fantasy elements we want in this rp.

The general idea with their abilities is what could be associated with day and night and then branching out from there. Like how because how some people have sayings like 'sleep on it' (basically think it over, let your mind heal from the shock) and how some people find the nighttime healing. And with the light, people feel safer when it is daytime and it's a time to be around those who care about you and can protect you.here
The current plot:
The people do not know that the priests do not pick the reincarnations due to their knowledge, but a random pick. My character was chosen correctly as the Moon god when they were 10, he only barely remembered that he even was the god, Zixuna, but he still knew. Your character, while being the sun god, was not picked and was forced to pick a different path in life. Years later, no one knows that their sun god is not actually their sun god.
My character does not currently remember anything before this current life, he remembers that he is indeed Zixuna, but nothing beyond that. What is causing the gods to not remember?
The Church has been infiltrated by worshipers of a third God who are trying to corrupt the Church and bring an end to the cycle of rebirth by truly killing the Gods essence that exist within the souls of the current incarnations.

I am willing to make adjustments to the following, but there are a few main points that would like to stay the same:
- Our characters were in love in their past lives
- My character wrote a book about her past in an attempt to find your character, this doesn't work for some reason
- Eventually a movie is greenlit and our characters both end up on the staff for the movie in some way.
- A few key details about their past life I will lay out later on in the post.
I did a minor rewrite of the original background, this mostly focuses on my character as I want to leave the background of your character as open ended as possible.

Now there are a few ways we can take this.
Original way:- Our characters take on the lead roles
- Despite if your character remembers his past, my character has become too jaded to accept that he is the one she has been looking for
Secondary ways
- One of our characters takes on a main role, the other one either taking a secondary role or is on the production staff
- End up with a lot less time 'playing out' their past lives, but could cause some drama as they start to realize who the other is.
- I am okay with discussing other dynamics, but the biggest thing is they are both on the production team
Key past life details I would like to keep (bolded I would like to keep, underlined can be discussed if wanted):
- My character was born in a remote and hidden kingdom though she was captured by a noble who kept her locked up as a trophy as her species was quite rare.
- For a reason, your character is tasked with capturing my character [to bring her back to a second noble.]
- It is a few months of travel, as the noble lives almost 1000 leagues away from the first noble.
- the two start to become close during this journey.
- Before your character delivers my character, she convinces your character to let her go home.
- After visiting her home, she decides to go back to your character
- In the past, your character dies before my character. How they die, or how long it was between their deaths is up for discussion
