Some things I would RP:
- Disney
- Star Wars
- LOTR
- Lasky series (WOTB and Ga'hoole)
- Warriors
- Muppets
- Wings of Fire
- Jurassic Park/World
- Holiday overlays to any of the above (Christmas/Halloween)
- Cowboys / Pirates
Let me know if you'd be interested in RPing any of that in a long-term, multi character way. I prefer to be villains. I would rather focus on creating an intriguing storyline, and other dynamics like friends/enemies, instead of on romance.

I don't want to overstretch myself because I started a few new projects recently but I'd be very interested in some pirate drama =o
I can give you deep characters and impeccable humor, 2-5 paragraphs a reply at least 3x a week if that fits your vibe

Ooh! Sure! Were you thinking Pirates of the Caribbean or just like generalized pirates? And don't worry, you don't have to post super often! Just don't want to start something and start enjoying it and then get disappeared on but you can take as long as you want with actual replies ✌️✌️

I haven't seen any Pirates of the Caribbean and have no idea what it is other than Johnny Depp is in it. I can be rather picky with rp partners but I should be able to tell you early on if I'm not vibing =o I don't like ghosting either do you have any ideas of like, character interactions you want to try or? I can totally make up a few concepts too ^^ idk how realistic or fantasy you want to put the scale, but I have plenty of ideas for both sides of that spectrum |

Cool, don't worry about it.
Hmmm! I'm good to do either a realistic or fantasy route with this! Fantasy might be easier or more fun than straight realism because we don't have to adhere to any strict guidelines but do you have a preference?
For dynamics, I love to play villains but don't want to take that away from you if you'd also want to be one (the joys of multiple characters)! What's foreseeable is I'll have a handful of characters who can fill all kinds of roles in the story so we could do multiple different dynamics if you want? I'd rather not do romance stuff but other than that it's always interesting to wing it and see who ends up being friends and who doesn't though.
Just some *really quick* plot ideas/character dynamics, feel free to say if you aren't vibing with them:
The captain of a ship is betrayed by someone they thought was their close friend, who stages a mutiny because *he* wants to be captain instead
Two rival pirate crews after the same treasure (piracy ensues 😭)
A crew somehow gets cursed to be a ghost ship (or some other kind of seven seas curse) which causes dissent within the crew as they decide who to blame
Then there's your typical pirates interacting with sailors/non-pirates and all the various plot points that could come from that, like if the government is after them or if the townsfolk want to join the crew or just anything. Maybe a captain raided a town many years ago and now someone from that town is bent on getting justice so they become a pirate themself
Sorry if these aren't the best, it's really late and I'm just writing down whatever I think of!
Don't hesitate to list some ideas too!

I am 100% down to do fantasy. Perhaps a low fantasy, though, where the pirates (being isolated from society and always on the sea) interact with more supernatural elements than the general populace does? Like all pirates know sirens and stuff are real, obviously but most people don't? So more like a mid- to low- fantasy alt history?
And you are totally free to play villains! I tend to just... make characters with goals and if they align with other character's goals then they're friends and if they are irrevokably opposed then they're rivals/enemies and that's that.
I think the two crews after the same treasure (or perhaps, attacking and stealing from the same trader/mark?) would be a great way to open the rp =o If we go that route, I def want to make one of the opposing crew turn sides and join our crew (for... reasons? either ambition "my crew sucks they couldn't pirate water from the sea" OR they were the punching bag of the old crew and were sick of being treated horribly OR perhaps they were a civilian captive that used the chaos to escape).
That would also be a great way to sow seeds of conflict for any mutinying parties. Though they'd probably have to wait until the cap is weakened somehow before they actually try the mutiny, it would be interesting to have some whispers and "who can I trust to take my side over Cap's" moments
I also love the idea that the ship's pet is a not-quite-cat that no one really understands what it is, other than it's been with the ship longer than anyone can remember but it loves chin scritches and anyone that annoys it might find that every bite of food they eat turns soggy with seawater in their mouth for a while.
I think maybe it'll be easier to just start with the two crews converging on the same target as an introduction plot point, make characters and see how they'll interact from there? I like bouncing characters off each other and it seems like we'll have similar vibes on that front so I totally would love just making a thread, throwing some characters up there and then smooshing them into conversations and see where that goes.
As for important roles... I can take Cap if you'd rather play the mutiny leader. I'd also be interested in taking a navigator/map room expert. Maybe a cook if that's open?

I'm SO down for all of this! The "weird cat which nobody actually knows what it is" thing is amazing, lol. And low fantasy is actually exactly what I had in mind, I just didn't know there was a term for it! You can definitely have all those roles, and I'll be the mutineer leader (as well as the Captain of the opposing crew) and then make a some other characters who are ACTUALLY loyal to your captain, some neutral ones, and some who are loyal to mine. You're definitely welcome to play a mutineer or two too, if you're like me and enjoy having characters on all sides of the conflict.  I'm so glad you're also into just having the characters decide their dynamics themselves, too! If you're good with it, I can make an OOC thread later where we can post some of our characters and flesh out a starting point a bit more? (... some, like the main ones and such. I think if we feel like it we can just add in the smaller characters as long as there's nothing MAJOR we need to discuss about them and then they can develop as the RP goes.  If you're okay with that, of course! Otherwise it might just take forever to make sheets for them all.) Brokenstars Im interested in doing a warriors rp with you. Id rather communicate with email tho. i have a few ideas for plat and i have 4 clans worth of warriors to use Ahh, I'm sorry, I'm not comfortable going offsite or sharing my email. For me it's really just threads or nothing sadly.  |

That sounds awesome! Ill hop into whatever thread you make and we can plan more there. Im totally a fan of making way too many characters... i think the struggle will be putting a cap on the number of pirates on one ship lmao
And low fantasy is the absolute best genre. I love having creatures that are just barely not right

DMed it to you!
I think I'm going to close this search for now, because I don't want to get too overwhelmed with RPs and not be able to keep up with them.
