Hi there! I am searching for partners to roleplay with 
I tend to write several paragraphs per post and appreciate my partner reaching three meaningful paragraphs. Sometimes that just isn't possible, especially if only a couple characters are interacting, and I understand that.
I'm open to other plots. Additionally, I am completely open to varying my plot with elements of whatever character you are bringing in as your main character. Please also note I always include slow-building romance within my plots.
Also, please note that I tend to like to populate a clan pretty healthily with characters; i.e. developing many different relationships in the clan, rather than having two characters that exist around mostly undeveloped pelts. This can lead to an unwieldy list of characters to track, but I have tools for that
Plot 1: Shadowpaw (Character 1) is a Shadowclan apprentice. He is malnourished, mistreated, and shows poorly-patched injuries. What's more, despite looking like he's about the age to finish his apprenticeship, he can barely hunt, he has zero fighting skills to show, and he doesn't believe he will ever be competent at any of the necessary skills to be a warrior. His mother has just been murdered by his father who is taking control of Shadowclan and bringing it back to what he saw as the 'glory days' of Shadowclan, news which eventually is revealed by Shadowpaw.
The plot begins with Shadowpaw fleeing the camp in the moments following the murder of his mother, Dawnstar, and the takeover of Shadowclan by his father, Nightscar. Depending on the clan you choose, Character 2(your main character, preferably a young warrior) encounters him in peril as he flees the clan, which provides multiple hints that something is wrong in Shadowclan. Character 2 has to save Shadowpaw and force him to come to the safety of Character 2's camp to explain what is going on. She quickly begins to grow a sense of defensiveness of Shadowpaw as the abuses occurring in Shadowclan come to light and even members of her own clan begin suspecting Shadowpaw is a spy, and feeling defensive of him leads to her being an impromptu mentor of his, and slowly towards more than that.
Plot 2: Character 1 (Played by me) arrives in your clan's territory as Character 2 (played by you) encounters him on a border patrol. She can see my character has caught some prey on your territory, and you can see he clearly needed it, as he is underfed and has injuries dried with blood that could easily give way to infections. Rather than chase him away, the patrol decides to take him to the camp, at least to ask the leader to have his wounds treated, much to the dislike of Character 2.
Character 1 is offered a brief stay to rest and heal in exchange for agreeing to catch a plentiful amount of prey for the clan before he leaves. Agreeing, Character 1 begins to appreciate the Clan's lifestyle, and starts wondering if perhaps he could find safety in the clan.
Of course, the clan doesn't know what Character 1 is running from, that his family of loners has been killed, or that they're going to want to find him and drag him back to wherever he comes from. Though they didn't meet on great terms, Character 2's initial dislike of Character 1 starts to fade as he shows genuine interest in clan life, even if he is far from a skilled hunter or fighter. Finally, when rogues start pressing the border and questioning whether someone sounding like Character 1 has passed through, Character 2 realizes Character 1 is fleeing from danger and needs someone to stand beside him.
Plot 3: Character 1 (your main character) has had visions and dreams since early in her apprenticeship. A prophecy has been whispered in her ear by passing dreams for a pawful of moons, telling her that her paws will be responsible for many, that she has an important future, and more. Moons of this secret foretelling has made Character 1 a little self-important and proud, ready for the roses to be thrown at her paws, so to speak; yet Character 1 isn't an egotist. She is loyal to her clan, has no issue with the common duty of the warrior, and has a healthy pool of empathy one might not expect from knowing her very little.
Character 1 is dropped into a mess when Character 2 (my character) arrives from an adjacent clan, declaring that his clan is being slaughtered by dogs. Upon investigation its found that most of the clan has been killed, with faint traces of a couple cats who may have escaped.
Character 2 swears that there was a cat who entered alongside the vicious dogs, and though it doesn't make any sense, he swears the cat was attacking his clanmates. He can't describe the cat, but he is certain of it. He needs shelter, and from here the clan, for their own safety, feels compelled to at least attmept to discover where these vicious dogs came from. Character 1 by the next day is contacted in another dream, and finally met by a cat with stars in their pelt--and are told it is time to live up to all of the whisperings she has heard since she was young.
Plot 4: 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 5: 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 the typical jostling about how much time they spent together.
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.

Again, I am happy to hear other ideas for plots, or adjustments to my own plots.
Hopefully your interest has been piqued and I hope we'll be rping soon
