Being the most powerful wizard in the land had its upsides, commissions from townsfolk for elixirs and potions for their crops, working at your own pace, discovering new ingredients and spells in the forest surrounding your domain. But that’s just it, the one downside, the seclusion. For miles around you’re alone, no lover, no pets, no helpers, nothing. It’s peaceful, but in the nights you grow lonely, no one to share your success with or talk about your day. That is until one morning, outside your window you hear groans and whines, probably just some Minotaurs in mating season. That is until they grow into cries for help, English being yelled. You gather your staff, some defensive splash potions, and head out to see what the commotion is. There I am, a small, weak, helpless, little goblin, beating ruthlessly attacked by two wolves. You ward them off with simple fire spells and take me inside, nursing me back to health. Once I awake, after the confusion settles, I declare myself to you. So you’d forgotten in your studies, goblins dedicate themselves to anyone brave enough to save their lives. I’m eager and devoted and happy to do whatever you say.

Hello! I’m Megan, F24, looking for a classic slice-of-life style roleplay, with turns of romance and further drama down the line. If any of that sounds interesting to you or you have any questions, please feel free to send over a message :)

HI, please read everything before messaging me.

I'm a 25 year old female
roleplayer looking for a long term roleplay, and I'm looking for someone to play a male
character for a historical roleplay set in the cold war era.

The plot: Two eastern bloc (USSR & another eastern bloc country) officers working on a counterintelligence project. The overall theme of the roleplay involves political intrigue and drama, so yes - there needs to be a little research involved for us to have good and realistic setting.

Who I'm looking for:
- A 22+ year old roleplayer (please don't message me if you're younger);
- someone literate (both in writing and reading), minimum 3 paragraphs per responses; someone who pays attention to grammar, spelling, and punctuation;
- someone willing to also chime into play extra side characters;
- someone who's ready to put a commitment into roleplaying. Don't waste my time and don't waste yours; and most importantly,
- willing to not use any large language model while roleplaying.

My profile:
- I'm 25;
- I've been roleplaying for almost a decade;
- I'm literate and I try my best to write in proper English;
- I write in third person, past tense. I can also do present tense if that's what you prefer;
- I can write out at least one reply every day, but if I have time, I will obviously write more.

The password is the answer to this question: what's that one thing in your bucket list that you absolutely have to do during your lifetime?

Interested? Send me a message and introduce yourself. Include the password as well! Low effort messages will be rejected. Please send me one long message with everything I ask you to mention here, unfortunately multiple messages will not show up on my end, so I will only see your first message.

Thanks for reading all the way, looking forward to hear from you!

✦ A Little About Me & My Roleplay Preferences

Hey there! I'm Rel, and I'm always looking for new people to write with, explore interesting stories, and create some fun roleplay experiences together! I'm primarily a Discord roleplayer, and while I enjoy exploring established fandoms, I'm also open to interesting ideas, unique character dynamics, and stories that let us get creative.

✦ A Few Ground Rules

Before we get into the fun stuff, there are a few things I'd like to establish. Nothing too complicated, I promise!

1. Respect Goes Both Ways. We're all here to have a good time, so let's treat each other with basic kindness and respect. IC drama is perfectly fine, but OOC drama is something I'd rather avoid. We're writing together, not competing against each other, so let's keep things friendly!

2. Keep Things Comfortable. I'm here to enjoy myself and tell some great stories, not deal with creepy behavior or have my boundaries pushed.

3. Communication Is Important. Life gets busy, and I completely understand that real life comes first. If you're going to be busy, need some time away, or aren't feeling a particular roleplay anymore, just let me know when you can. I'd much rather have an honest conversation than be left wondering what's going on. No pressure to be constantly available!

4. Put Some Effort Into It! I don't have any strict requirements for post length, writing style, or how much you need to write per reply. Short responses can work just as well as longer ones, provided there's something for the other person to respond to. Give me something to work with, and I'll do my best to return the favor!

✦ Fandoms I'm Interested In

I'm a huge fan of exploring different universes, playing around with character dynamics, and coming up with scenarios that let us take familiar settings in new directions. Here's a list of fandoms I'd especially love to roleplay in!

• Young Justice
• DC Comics (including Batman Beyond)
• Marvel
• Avatar: The Last Airbender / The Legend of Korra
• Greek Mythology
• Norse Mythology
• Invincible
• Dragon Ball Z
• Dr. Stone
• Devil May Cry
• Naruto
• Ghost of Tsushima / Ghost of Yōtei
• Star Wars
• Peacemaker
• God of War
• Resident Evil

I'm happy to explore canon-based stories, alternate universes, original characters, and different interpretations of the settings we know and love. If you've got an interesting idea, don't hesitate to bring it up! I'm always willing to hear people out and see what we can come up with together.

✦ Interested?

If any of this sounds interesting to you, feel free to shoot me a DM! Whether you've already got a plot in mind or just want to brainstorm some ideas together, I'm more than happy to chat.

I'm always excited to meet new writing partners, build interesting stories, and see where our creativity takes us.

Hope to hear from you soon! ♡

Hello everyone! I am Saturn. I am wanting to do a medieval royalty roleplay as I think it could be very fun. It will be supernatural as well.

So for the plot, your character is a vampire king. A man who was scarred, both emotionally and physically. An older man. Everyone was terrified of him. But the king needed a wife. That is where my character comes in. She was a noble woman to a human kingdom, that desperately needed the alliance. So their marriage was arranged. We will start right after their wedding. It will not be a slow burn type of roleplay. More of two soulmates that did try and fight it but really couldn’t. Falling hard and fast, but having to hide it as of the king’s reputation. We will just go with their lives, there can be a lot of drama. But also cute moments between the two. And just having them get used to each other and their position. This will be FxM with my character as female.

My rules are quite simple but it helps me enjoy the roleplay. Please be at least 20+ as I am 22 as that is what I am most comfortable with. We are not our characters, this is a 3rd person roleplay. Please be active, or at least decently active I do understand being a bit busy though. With the roleplay, please type like you are writing a book, use "" for talking and nothing for actions. Have decent grammar, it's hard to understand when every response has typos. One more thing, please be literate to advanced literate as I enjoy a lot of details and story building. We will be moving to discord. But that is basically it. Please pm me if you are interested! Thank you for reading my post!

Extra info: Id like to also include slice of life action scenes obviously romance,and other things like that
I have my oc ready to go so if your willing to gm that would be awesome you can also introduce your own ocs as character either in possession of one of the crystals or to help my character on his journey

Ooc:I enjoy talking to my rp partner so we can make it more fun for both of us

Writing style: I tend to try and average a 2-4 sentences when writing if not more it really depends on the situation

Elements:I would like to include action slice of life romance and combat in the rp

If your interested hmu so we can get everything situated

Hello There! You can call me Daizey. I’m a 28F in EST looking to find someone to feed my Hunger Games hyperfixation as we get closer to the premiere of Sunrise on the Reaping! I would love for the story to be an AU of the originals where Katniss and Peeta did not win or have not been chosen yet, and we'd each write as tributes.

What I’m looking for in a partner:

• 25+ only (I prefer to write with people closer to my age)
• USA/Canada time zones
• 3rd person perspective only
• No one liners. I prefer adv lit/multi-paragraph (however, lazy lit is totally okay sometimes too)
• I need a partner who actively helps drive the story. If you tend to just go along with whatever or reply with a single sentence after I bring up something plot related, we won’t be a good fit.
• Preference for celebrity face claims. Not opposed to artistic, but no anime.
• OOC energy is very important to me! I want to become friends with my writing partners. I love gushing over the story and making extra content (playlists, Pinterest boards, gifs, aesthetics). I prefer that my partner be active in that as well. If this isn't something you usually do, you’ll likely feel overwhelmed and I’ll feel underfed creatively.

If this sounds like a match, please send me a message! I'd love to talk and potentially write together! If you've messaged me before and I missed it, please send another! Reddit chat can be tricky sometimes. Hope to hear from you :)

(PS: I won't reply to simple messages like "hey" or "wanna RP". Put some thought into it please!)

Hello, I'm Anna! I’m a literate writer who is looking for a writing buddy! Here's a little about me and my preferences!

-I am soon to be 31 and I'd prefer writing with someone above the age of 21.

-As stated above I'm a lit writer and am happy to match length. I generally opt to write more or less depending on the scene that's happening. The length you write is not a super important condition to me as long as there's enough for me to respond to, but I am very busy and will be slower with longer responses.

-I use discord to write.

-I prefer third person but am open to first.

-I love a well built web of side characters. I'm happy to write multiple characters of whatever gender, but my main character will be female.

-I'm open to write any pairing between main characters or side characters.

-What I’m mainly looking for is lots and lots of drama, a good story, and romance (I’m a big sap, so I love a romance.)

-I’m open to most plot ideas so feel free to reach out with anything you’ve ben itching to play and we'll see if we can work something out.

-I am not interested in being a GM but am open to someone else wanting to GM if you have a world/story you’d like to control.

-I do have a job, pets, a live in partner, and other hobbies, so I can get a bit busy and can't promise a post everyday (especially if it's a longer one.) But I am happy to write whenever I can. As long as you're fine with waiting occasionally, so am I!

Themes/settings/ideas/characters: These can be combined or changed! Just putting out my ideas for inspo!

love Triangles - I love a love triangle. It's probably one of my favorite things to write. I'd really love if we could work one into whatever story we're going with, but its not necessary.

Mafia/crime- Perhapse my character is the daughter of your rival? Maybe we go a more bodyguard direction? Maybe it's a marriage between two different families? I would be interested to write this in a modern setting or a 1920's setting. We could even take it down a modern fantasy route and write it between werewolves and vampires. Or orcs and elves. Or even a sci-fi twist would be fun!

--- character/plot ideas: The second in line heiress to a vast vampire criminal organization who's brother (first in line) is trying to solidify a family unification with the werewolf pack by marriage.

A fairy singer who married the head of the elven criminal family, a cruel man. And has now found herself falling for the head of the orc family.

An unsuspecting bartender who gets entangled with the head of a dangerous family, putting her in danger from their enemies.

A girl trying to escape the family and becomes and informant for the police/fbi

A lead biotech engineer who steals the prototype/blueprints of a fully synthetic human (with a human brain) when she learns what the companies plans for them are. She goes on the run with the prototype and goes to a seedy underground organization with it offer her help as a cybernetic doctor in exchange for protection. The criminal orginization could also seek her out for her information.

A court drama!- Lots of room to work here. Jealous rivals, court gossip, a stubborn princess, a love triangle between the king/prince/lord my charcter is married/engaged to and the commoner/guard/knight/king's brother who she falls in love with.

---Character/plot ideas:

The unruly/unwilling princess who is supposed to be looking for suitor. She gets entangled with a prim and proper court lady/sir who's she's always causing trouble for. Or perhapse she meets a commoner while on one of her many escapades outside the castle grounds.

The queen/soon to be married to the king who is starting to find a friend and companion in the king's brother or her personal guard who has been assigned to her.

The king has set his sights on a court lady. Unwilling to risk angering the king she must navigate his attention/affection despite being in love with someone else. We could add in that the king is currently married for an extra risk to navigating the situation.

Fantasy - We can go pretty much anywhere with this one! (Even a more fantastical court drama!) Perhaps my character is a thief who has stolen something valuable from your character and in exchange for not turning her in your character employs her for a job. Maybe your character is a hunter and my character is your mark, whether she be a royal of the rival kingdom or a criminal. Or maybe it’s the opposite, maybe your character is a body guard sworn to protect her.

---Character/plot ideas:

A princess who has secretly had a pact with a fairy her entire life in a land where magic and magical creatures are strictly outlawed.

a Half elf/half something with horns who is searching for her heritage and steals to live. Always traveling with her talking ferret (a mage who lost his orginal body).

A professional thief who is working for a powerful man and has been tasked to work alongside a mercenary.

A princess who is sent away to be married in another kingdom or due to saftey and the knight who is charged to escort her there safely at all costs

Supernatural!? - Vampires? Werewolves? Super-humans? Demons, Angels, and Gods? Yes please. I Love a good vampire/human pairing, and I'm also very into VtM. Werewolves? Maybe one of our characters is lost in the woods and a solitary wolf comes to the rescue. Once again can be in a fantasy or modern setting. I like the idea of werewolves having a fated mate that they're able to find by smell but I just as readily enjoy that not being a thing. Super-humans? A Hero academy? A magic school? Maybe my character is a silent doctor for heroes/vigilantes? Want something else? Maybe one of our characters is a stray god wandering the earth and the other is another looking for them. Or just a admirer of them. Maybe one of our characters summons a demon or angel… or maybe just stumbles upon them and is requested to help?

---Character/Plot ideas:

A Combat photographer is injured and is taken in and healed by a solitary werewolf who believes her to be their mate.

A werewolf living on their own and working as a forest ranger finds a lost/injured hiker (possibly on the run from soemthing) and takes them in.

An ex werewolf hunter, now art teacher moves to new town that is inhabited by a pack of werewolves. The leader of which falls for her immediately. I like the idea of fated mates here, but perhapse the alpha doesn't believe in it. And perhapse they're already in a relationship out of necessity to strengthen their pack with another.

A human knight who is charged to guard on night shift a captured vampire ruler.

An archeologist and architect couple who were turned together by an insane Toreador. The archeologist wife, in survival mode diablerized their sire. They have been forgiven and now live within the rules of the masquerade and are tasked with hunting down the vampire princes' missing childe

A gutter-punk anarch gangrel bar owner who used to serve the missing childe of the prince.

Bast the cat eared god who left her home after her sister Sekhmet stole her betrothed and her glory in fighting off Apophis. She now wanders earth and was recently fired from her job teaching at a university.

Morpheus a demon prince (female) of sloth who has been exiled to earth to eat the dreams of mortals makes a pact with an exorcist who traps demons within his own mind in dream prisons.

A shape shifter super human lead a life of crime to survive when she was young. When she was taken in by an older hero she promised to become someone who protects people. She's now found herself in a super hero academy and in the running to be the top of her class. Surrounded by rumors of her past and now a false scandle started by her ex she's kept mostly to herself until now. Her third year she is paired to work with the other leader in class ranking a prim and proper superhuman from a long line of wealthy super heroes.

A doctor in her residency suffering from extream insomnia due to a past experience starts working as a silent doctor for masked vigilantes in her evenings hoping to one day return the favor to the mask that saved her.

Science fiction! - Maybe my character is stranded out in space or on a planet and picked up by a cargo ship or by pirates? Maybe we’re partners in flight school or some sort of academy? Maybe we go for a pitch black sort or story with a ship transporting a dangerous criminal crashing onto an even more dangerous planet.

---Characters/plot ideas:

Nori Nox a star morally questionable speeder racer and talented mechanic. I really love this character and I have a lot of side characters for her as well. I could see her enrolling in an academy as a pilot and being paired with a weapons specialist. Or working for a criminal orginization to pay back some debts. Or stuck in space with her race partner (the weapons specialist) and picked up by a crew of scrapper or pirates.

Bringing back my cybernetic doctor as well. I'd love to write her in any scenario.

A young daughter of a wealthy CEO and talented scientis is replaced with a fully synthetic human and programmed to not have any idea that she is not the real authentic woman.

Slice of life - Im actually not huge on sliver of life. If it gets too fluffy I get really bored. But again I love a story with lots of drama and strife and im happy to write soemthing more akin to normal life as long as its extreamly dramatic.

Character/plot ideas:

A girl trapped in a very tumultuous/controlling relationship and the person who tries to save her, is a plot I like to explore quite a bit.

An artist trapped in a similar relationship with a very wealthy controlling CEO. She dislikes the lifestyle and is unsatisfied being a trophy to show off. She begins to fall for the bad boy/girl who she knows from her past and promises to give her a more fulfilling life.

A women in a similar relationship with a man just trying to make ends meet, but won't let her work rescued by her childhood friend who is now a famous boxer (or soemthing like that lmfao)

A singer of a up and coming punk band and the fan who has become unreasonably obsessed with her.

Okay I need to stop typing and get some work done. Hope one of these ideas inspires you and you reach out to write with me!

Can't wait to hear from you.

His armor marked him as a Veteran Sergeant, though he wore the livery of the Ultramarines' 2nd Company. A necessary, although temporary, concession he had told himself as he boarded the bridge of the Battle Barge Sword of Macragge. The situation on the forge world of Ciedus was getting worse by the hour. As the forces of Chaos spread throughout the southern hemisphere of the planet, the Astra Militarum was steadily losing ground, as well as valuable resources to the Heretics.

The Captain of the 2nd looked up from his auger array, the green holographic interface still reflecting off of his skin and armor. "Sergeant Icarius," he said as he placed his fist on his chest, more out of a sign for respect than rank, "to what do we owe the pleasure?"

The Veteran Sergeant returned the gesture, his face scarred, weathered stone beneath his helmet. "The 1st Company has heard of your plight upon this world, and has decided to send you reinforcements," he explained as he took position in front of the array.

"I see, and will your squad be joining you in this endeavor?"

"No."

The Captain seemed to be caught off guard by the statement. "Did the Veteran Captain send you alone? Does he believe that one-"

Icarius cut off the captain. "I requested to be reassigned to the 2nd Company for this mission. I have previous experience dealing with... unconventional Chaos threats. Luckily, the Veteran Captain agreed with my assessment." He held his tongue before he revealed any more. While the Veteran Captain did reassign him to the 2nd Company for this task, it came with heavy stipulations. The first being that he, and he alone, would be sent. The 1st Company had better things to do than chase ghosts after all.

"I understand." The auger array shifted from the planetary map with the push of a button, loading in a more detailed map of the initial invasion. "A week ago, several warp signatures were detected in this sector of the southern hemisphere of the planet. The local Planetary Forces were mobilized, but were unable to hold back the heretic's advance. Several reports of daemons of unknown origin were seen assisting the traitor guard."

The auger array shifted once again. "Three days ago, the Astra Militarum made landfall on the planet. They were able to slow the heretic's advance, but they adapted. They shifted from a general onslaught to more surgical tactics. Stopping munition supplies, maiming key figures within the Guard, and resorting to fear tactics.

"Two days ago, the first confirmed sighting of a Heretic Astartes was made. Their armor configuration suggests they once belonged to the Word Bearers, but their weaponry and iconography does not match their profile."

Icarius was silent as his gaze lingered on the auger.

"You have a theoretical?" The captain asked.

"The beginning of one. These daemons, you mentioned that they were 'unknown'. How is that?"

"Reports were... unclear. They seemed to have been tampered with in ways. Forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus tried to examine them closer, but the local Inquisition forces forbade it."

"The Adeptus Mechanicus? What do they want with Daemon corpses?"

"Its unclear right now," the captain said with a shake of his head, "but reports said that the Daemons were... upgraded in a way. An unholy mixture of demonic energy and machine."

"And do those reports have any validity?"

"As valid as any other battlefield rumor."

Icarius shook his head. It was exactly as he feared. "Theoretical: We are not dealing with the Word Bearers, or any other legion. Rather, you are dealing with a Warband consisting of members of three separate legions. Word Bearers to conjure and control the Daemons, Iron Warriors to provide enhanced weaponry and siege tactics, and Night Lords to strike at the heart of Imperium Forces."

The captain, as well as the entire bridge, was silent at this point. One legion was bad enough, but three separate Chaos Legions working in unison, or as much in unison as they could, would spell the downfall for this world.

"And is there any proof to confirm your theory?" The captain asked. It was a heavy claim to make. And if he assumed incorrectly, the change in tactics could give the forces of Chaos the upper hand.

"I will find proof," Icarius said with a nod, "I require command of a Fire Support Squad, and I will hunt down the leaders of the Warband myself."

The captain's face dropped in disbelief. "You believe that we are up against the combined forces of three legions, and then you suggest I hand you an entire squadron to test your theory?" He approached the Veteran Sergeant as he continued. "If you are wrong, you could cause this world to fall."

"And if I am right, this world has already fallen."

The two Ultramarines looked at each other, seeing if there were any cracks in the other's logic. But it was Icarius who spoke up first.

"If I am wrong, then I will submit myself to the Deathwatch as a blackshield."

The captain was silent once again. A regular marine serving as a blackshield was a cause for shame, but a veteran of the 1st company?

"I will assign two men to act as your aides." He eventually said, "their lives are in your hands Sergeant, see to it that they will not be wasted. I will prepare a dossier for you and have them see you in the armory. Dismissed."

Icarius placed his fist upon his chest and bowed, turning to leave the bridge of the battle barge, considering himself fortunate that he was able to convince the Captain. While he did believe that the enemy they found themselves fighting was some sort of unified force, in truth he was unsure of what exactly he found himself up against. But the enemies' tactics pointed to those three Legions working together. And if the Iron Warriors were there, it meant that he might be there.

It meant an end to a century long ghost hunt...

The Veteran Sergeant slowly exhaled, forcing those horrid memories back beneath his surface. They were motivation, but he would not be lost in them. He would let the Emperor guide him to his target if he saw it fit. He would not sate his need for revenge at the cost of an entire forge world.

But still... he could hope.

Hello, and thank you for reading over my prompt, and I hope that you've enjoyed it so far. I've found myself back in a Warhammer 40k mood and thought I would try to set up a rp set in that universe. Like mentioned in the writing sample/starter above, this would focus on the Ultramarines, however you are open to writing as any Imperium aligned force.

As for my character, I would be writing as Veteran Sergeant Gretian Icarius, formerly of the 1st Company that was transferred to the 2nd in order to assist in the battle for the Forge World Ciedus. As the sergeant of a Fire Support team in his own company, he specializes in target acquisition, enemy suppression, and armor hunting. He prides himself in his logic and adaptive tactics, moving in response to what is in front of him rather than sticking to one rigid set of maneuvers.

Your character is open to whatever you pick for yourself. Like I said before, ideally they would be an Imperium aligned character. Maybe another Ultramarine in his fireteam, a Sister of Battle who brings the fight to the enemy with religious fervor, or maybe a Guardsman operating deep within enemy territory. Of course, I am more than happy to brainstorm with you in order to come up with something.

That all being said, I am an advanced lit/multipara writer when with a good partner. I don't have a hard limit on reply lengths you send out, all I ask is that you send out enough to keep the scene going! I also prefer to write on Discord as well, since its just easier to have all of my plots in one place.

If this interests you, please feel free to send me a message. Be sure to include your age, timezone, and your favorite 40k faction

Courage and Honour!

Hi there! I’m 29, CST, and female!

✨Message me with your age, timezone (mine is CST, North American timezones preferred), and a sample of your writing if you’re interested! This is super important!✨

Partner requirements: must be 22 to 38 years. Must play male- write in third person - two or three paragraphs average- SFW ONLY- must be able to post a few times a week - good grammar and punctuation - Discord Only. NO AI.

When Hazel Dreadwood was born she was already destined for great things. A brilliant healer from birth and one meant to be by the side of the prince. She was beautiful, smart, and wonderfully skilled. A great pairing for the prince, the heir to the kingdom of Arcadia. Someone that could be by his side all the time whether at the palace doing his diplomatic duties with the royal court, visiting allied kingdoms, or out on the battlefield for his protection.

The latter is where they were now. A battle that had been raging on for nearly a year now. One that had heavy consequences, responsible for many deaths, and so much more. Both sides had their armies filled with goblins, trolls, and other monsters. Even dragons soared up above them. (The reason for the war is something we can decide on together. Is it over land? A resource? Magic?)

She’s running through the battlefield after being separated from her prince. The mate bond is strong and she thinks it’s guiding her towards him. She can feel it growing strong the closer that she gets until she’s knocked down by a troll looming over her with his club raised.

This where your character comes in saving her from the troll. He’s the ‘villain’ of this story, the exact opposite of the prince she’s looking for. However, their mate bonds have led the two to each other, both of them feeling the burning sensation when they find themselves near the other. He’s dark, mysterious, and seemingly cruel. Thinking Rhysand from ACOTAR, Xaden from Fourth Wing, or Cardan from The Cruel Prince sort of vibes. Seen as a monster, but a protector of his kingdom and people. Most loyal to those close to him.

!! Not replacing partners.
!! Please be 20+!

I’m 21, so I prefer writing with people who are 20+! I’m also strictly looking for original characters and original settings, not fandom roleplays. Nothing against them, they’re just not my cup of tea ☕️.

I’m looking for a long-term partner!! Someone who enjoys discussing lore and getting unnecessarily attached to fictional characters.

If that sounds appealing then hiiii, nice to meet you!! :3

I’m looking for a long-term roleplay partner who enjoys fantasy, adventure, complicated characters, and building an entire world together rather than having everything decided before we even start writing.

A little about me, I am a HUUUGE fan of Skyrim, Oblivion, Bloodborne, and just about anything involving medieval fantasy, ancient civilizations, questionable religious institutions, and people making terrible decisions in the name of something they believe in 👀!!

I especially enjoy stories where our characters get to TRAVEL. I want to explore forgotten kingdoms, stumble into political conflicts, investigate ruins, encounter strange cultures, and slowly uncover the history of whatever world we end up creating.
I also love morally gray characters, enemies to lovers, reluctant alliances, and relationships that develop through shared experiences:)!

Soooo, I figured I’d throw out a handful of plot ideas I’ve been thinking about!! None of these are set in stone, and I’d absolutely LOVE to hear your own ideas or combine different elements into something entirely new- I’m super flexible.

Idea 1!

Picture this; for centuries, an ancient order of vampire hunters has maintained a fragile peace between humanity and the creatures that prey upon it.

Once celebrated as protectors of civilization, the order has gradually fallen into obscurity. The fortresses are crumbling, its numbers are dwindling, and most people consider vampires little more than frightening stories told to children.

That is, until entire villages begin disappearing.
Bodies are discovered drained of blood, noble families begin exhibiting peculiar behavior, and rumors spread of an ancient vampire court attempting to reclaim territories it ruled centuries ago.

In response, the order begins recruiting anyone capable of holding a weapon. Mercenaries, criminals, disgraced knights, and former enemies are offered a place among its ranks.

Character wise.. maybe they’re two newly recruited hunters sent to investigate a series of disappearances. Perhaps one is a veteran of the order, while the other is a vampire forced into an uneasy alliance with humanity.

ORRRR, one of our characters could belong to an ancient vampire bloodline while the other has dedicated their entire life to hunting them :).

I especially love the possibility of vampires having their own politics, customs, and competing factions. Not every vampire necessarily agrees with the actions of their kind, and not every hunter is as righteous as they claim.

I want vampire infested castles, abandoned monasteries, secretive aristocrats, and long journeys through territories where the sun is the only thing keeping our characters alive.
(Very Dawnguard Inspired….)

Idea 2.

Imagine a kingdom whose ruler has recently died without naming a clear successor. Naturally, everyone with even the slightest claim to the throne suddenly believes they’re entitled to it (very GOT).
Noble houses begin forming alliances, marriages become political bargaining tools.. assassinations are rampant.

The kingdom is practically tearing itself apart, although the nobility insists everything is perfectly under control (as they tend to do).

For some drama… I think our characters could be oppositions of one another; perhaps one serves a powerful noble house while the other is a spy employed by its greatest rival. Maybe one is a royal bodyguard tasked with protecting a claimant to the throne, while the other has been sent to assassinate that very person.

Or perhaps they’re two nobles whose families have spent generations trying to destroy one another.
For whatever reason, circumstances force them into an uneasy alliance :)!

That said.. I want masquerade balls, secret correspondence, political marriages, assassination attempts, and characters who have to constantly question whether the person beside them is telling the truth..

I believe there is strong romance potential if you’re interested!

Idea 3.

This one is for anyone who loves the exploration aspect of Skyrim as much as I do!!
For centuries, the known kingdoms have remained confined to a relatively small portion of the continent. Beyond their borders lie enormous mountain ranges, ancient forests, abandoned settlements, and territories that have never been properly mapped.

Recently, fragments of an ancient map have surfaced, suggesting that a civilization once existed far beyond the boundaries of the known world.

This attracts the attention of scholars, wealthy nobles, and people who are simply interested in becoming disgustingly rich. An expedition is assembled to investigate!!

Our characters could be members of that expedition, perhaps serving as scouts, hired swords, historians, or guides??

Encountering cultures that have remained isolated for generations or finding evidence of forgotten religions, extinct kingdoms, & events that contradict everything historians believe. The expedition could gradually fall apart, leaving our characters stranded hundreds of miles from civilization 🤗!

Idea 4!

This one would be a little more grounded and character focused!! Imagine a collection of frontier kingdoms where the roads between settlements are controlled by bandits, deserters, smugglers, and independent mercenary companies.

The wilderness is dangerous, the authorities are corrupt, and traveling alone is practically an invitation to get robbed.

Our characters could be two outlaws fleeing the same kingdom for entirely different reasons.
Maybe one is a bounty hunter who has finally captured a notorious criminal, only to discover that returning them to the authorities would be a death sentence.

Oooor.. one is a disgraced knight accused of treason, while the other is a thief who happens to possess evidence of their innocence.

Mayb they’re rival bounty hunters pursuing the same target and are forced to cooperate after discovering that the bounty is considerably more dangerous than advertised.

:) <3

All of these ideas are VERY flexible!! In my opinion.. they’re more like starting points than established stories. I genuinely prefer building lore with my partner. I want us to create the kingdoms, religions, factions, histories, and characters together rather than one person doing all the work.

Romance is absolutely welcome, especially slow burn and enemies to lovers. However, I don’t require romance for every plot, and I definitely don’t want it to replace the adventure itself.

Writing wise, while I do enjoy detailed replies, but I’m a quality > quantity person. I don’t expect novella responses, I’d much rather have a partner who actively moves the story forward, introduces new ideas, and contributes to the world.

If any of these ideas sound interesting, PLEASE feel free to message me!! Tell me which one caught your attention, what sort of character you’d like to write.

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.

Anywayyyy, thank you for reading my excessive rambling. Hope to hear from you!! <333

Hey everyone! I’m Blue, I’m 22, and I use they/them pronouns. I’m MST and work as an editor at a library. I recently finished college, so I have a lot more free time and figured I’d throw this out there to see if anyone might be interested!

I’m obsessed with Twilight, I blame the October weather!! I’d love to explore the politics of covens and the Volturi, or do something with the werewolves in La Push! I love the trope of forbidden lovers but I’m open to many others! My OCs are female and vampires, and I’d love to play one against your incredible OC!

Extra Fandoms just for fun: Im willing to RP for Spiderman/Spiderverse, Umbrella Acad, HTTYD, Avatar (Cameron), Silmarillion/ROP, and Star Wars although I’m not craving them a ton!

My Asks!
- 18+ partner, pref 21+. This is a strict rule.
- OC x OC only, I do not play canon characters.
- FxF, FxNB, or NBxNB with flexibility. I’m not opposed to male characters, but I would like to see the character first and I can deny him! I always play F or NB. Poly ships are allowed too if you have multiple characters.
- Lit to adv lit style, proper grammar/spelling/formatting, and third person perspective only. I average 400 words and can write 800+ easily. I never write less than 200. I'd love someone who can match that! I will turn you down if the response is not proper. I do not require this for OOC messages, type however you want in casual convo!
- Real life comes first, but communicate if you’ll disappear for 2+ days. I have a habit of assuming that people have ghosted me so I will move on if I don't hear from you for a week without warning!

My Style
- I LOVE OOC chatting and developing OCs through detailed character sheets, moodboards, headcanons, etc. I like to discuss plot pre-rp!
- I reply IC about every to every other day, although longer replies may take more time. I can respond a lot OOC though! Weekends are busy and I may not write something out. I communicate longer absences when they happen!

If interested, I’d like an introduction of yourself, a description of your writing style, and why you’re interested rather than “hey i saw your post do you want to rp.' (Password: whale) Writing samples are appreciated!!

I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

xoxo Blue 🐋

Hey there, I'm trying to get back into RP. I usually write multi-paragraph third person past tense. I have Discord.

I used to roleplay religiously as a teenager but find my attention span is limited as an adult. To avoid risk of ghosting, I want to intentionally start shorter length rps. Ideally I'd find one or two people who want to be longterm writing partners, just not longterm plots.

Perfect for: Short term attention spans, sporadic schedules, and inconsistent mental or physical health Working on a specific character in a variety of scenarios Getting into roleplay if you're rusty, inexperienced, or anxious

I prefer to create original characters without too much time spent on world building and backstory. Just jump into plot with a short overview. Like reading the back of a book/movie and starting straight in.

I don't really want to play any literal fandoms but some of my ideas are fandom-inspired. Genres I can think of off the top of my head:

* Aliens/space travel, androids (Dark Matter, Lunar achronicles, Detroit Become Human)

* Medieval royalty with or without magic

* Isekai/Narnia

* Twisted & retold fairytales (Ella Enchanted, Descendants)

* DnD/Avatar(bending) style magical worlds

* Modern witches (Bring me Your Midnight)

* Vampires, Werewolves, supernatural creatures (Lost Girl, Buffy)

* Human-hybrids, mermaids, etc (Seraphina, Maximum Ride)

* Dragon riders Modern Gods or Demons (Lore of Olympus, Percy Jackson)

* Ancient Mythology

* Fairies (Tinker Bell)

* Toys come to life (Winnie the Pooh, Toy Story)

* Domestic animals (Secret Life of Pets, Charlotte's Web)

* Wild Animals (Lion King, Land Before Time)

* Animal societies (Warriors, Redwall)

* Anthropomorphic Animals (Zootopia, Polar Bear Cafe)

* Anthropomorphic objects or food (Brave Little Toaster, Gudetama)

* Modern heirs/celebrities (Princess Diaries, Gossip Girl)

* Abused foster children (Series of Unfortunate Events)

* Underground Society (City of Ember, Gregor the Overlander)

* Pirates Tiny humans (Borrowers)

* Dystopian Apocolypse/Zombies (Dungeon Crawler Carl)

* Steampunk

* Magic boarding school

* Slice of Life

* Common tropes in any genre: arranged marriage, enemy to lover, forbidden love, kidnapping, etc

So I’ve had an itch to do a jjk based rp with someone for awhile and I figured I’d finally throw my hat out into the ring and make a post and see if anyone was interested. Lemme specify that I am personally a NB person and just want to play a female character. I don’t have any specific plot in mind just a character I really want to play. Ive always been more keen on brainstorming a plot with my partner since roleplaying is a two person endeavor. Also for post length im not the most detailed as to me this is a fun hobby, not a book I wanna write. Im not a one liner but im not gonna detail everything, ill write as much as I want and not anymore lol. Anyways as for info on the character I wanna play, the basics are as follows,

Haruka Zenin, she’s the daughter of Naobito and was born with the ten shadows technique (it’s my favorite technique, I love summoner abilities)she was born to a fling naobito had, making Naoya her half brother. The two are not fans of eachother and would regularly beef as children. Haruka is physically strong, like inumaki, and fights right alongside her shikigamki. As for how many she has tamed as stuff like rct and domain expansion. That all depends on when this rp will take place.

Anyways if you have a desire to do a jjk rp please feel free to dm me, don’t comment as I scarcely check those lol. Have a great day:)

Looking for a long-term rp partner to share my obsession with Chinese/Korean novels! (And other themes, of course). I'm a 20y female that loves to read and write. ⭐ Open to M4M... but if you have a different idea, we can discuss~ OOC to talk about the rp or just anything it's totally my thing!

⇨ Basics requirements:

಄ 20y+;

಄ Third-person POV and past tense;

಄ Long-term RP partner;

಄ Discord only;

಄ Rp only with OC's, no cannon;

಄ Available to reply daily or within three days, I have a lot of free time since I'm just studying at home.

⇨ Writing:

಄ English is NOT my first language; I can commit misspells, horrendous grammatical errors and more, HAHA. Be free to correct me if it's something too bad, just be comprehensive, I'll go over all the text I write before sending on-rp;

಄ If you're Brazilian and want to roleplay with me, PT or ENG is fine;

಄ I like writing average-long paragraphs, but I won't be prolix just for a huge reply. No pressure for both sides!

⇨ Genres, Vibes and Plots:

಄ Wuxia and Xianxia/Cultivation universe (i'm not a action rp fan, but the elements of this genre apart from the fights it's what I'm looking for: sects conflicts, the immortal realm, tradition, political conflicts, slice of life of the mortals around the immortal cultivators, etc);

಄ High and Low fantasy;

಄ Demihuman universe;

಄ Ancient China - Dynasty (any plot in this universe!!!)

Hi everyone!

You can call me Chanse! | (22F) am currently searching for a Ted Lasso roleplay partner who is equally interested in bringing Tedbecca to life! I have loved these characters for a really long time and I was hoping for more content between them in season four but alas.

Still, I think it would be wonderful to create our own direction to the story!

I am looking for someone to play the Rebecca Welton to my Ted Lasso. Anyone interested must be 20+ because I don't feel comfortable roleplaying, especially romance, with minors.

I use Discord Tupperbots and I am interested in literate roleplay. I am able to respond with a few paragraphs typically 1-2 times a day unless I get busy - if that happens I will let you know. I promise!
All I ask is that we can communicate about it. I am sure we have all had our fair share of ghostings in the past. For context, my time zone is PST.

I have been roleplaying for almost three years now and I specialize in enthusiastic and lovable characters, which draws me to Ted so much. I would absolutely adore to see your take on Rebecca if that sounds like something you'd have fun with!
Please shoot me a direct message or comment on this post if you're interested and we can come up with something cute and pleasant!

I've been binge watching the Marvel Cinematic Universe, both in preparation for Avengers: Doomsday and because I have been in a heavy Marvel mood as of late. I'm currently still in the middle of my binge, but it got me thinking about role-playing something Marvel related again.

However, I'm specifically in search of a GM or DM or whatever you'd like to call it, ideally an experienced one. I wanna be put into a Marvel Universe by you and taken through a grand story reminiscent of an MCU saga. Password is the full 'that doesn't seem fair' quote from Wanda. Of course, I do have ideas of my own for what this universe would consist of, but I'm largely curious to see your ideas brought to the table! Really take me for a ride!

I do have a couple of requests and requirements. One request is that, although I would love for it to be at least partially OC driven, especially since I'd be using an OC myself, I would prefer if the OCs that are present are more or less derivative off of what already exists in Marvel, if that makes any sense. Having a character that's wholly original and unique would make it feel a little disconnected from Marvel, in my opinion. A spidersona is an easy example of what I would go for, which I do actually have. I do apologize if this is a letdown for you, I understand. It's just personal preference.

A requirement is that I'd like for you to have role-playing experience already under your belt and that you are also twenty-one or over. Good grammar would also be appreciated!

Another requirement is that you're someone who's queer friendly, since I'm queer myself, and I do mean all of the queer identities. All of us or none of us, that kinda thing.

That's pretty much everything! I also apologize if my wording might come off as rude or passive-aggressive in some ways, I promise I don't mean it. If this caught your interest, then I hope to meet you soon!

Hi, I'm 22 M, my time zone is CST, from the US, and my favorite genres are science fiction, fantasy, and crime, but I don't do romance. I write in third person and have been roleplaying for four years now.

Be 18+

Welcome to the Wings

There will be various criminal organizations such as Brother's Keeper, the mercenary organization known as Unknown, the shadow group called SYN, and last but not least, the one that wants to plunge the world into chaos, the Ravens.

There are the Wings, a group that was created 1,000 years ago with the purpose of stopping groups like the Ravens. Our characters would be part of the Wings and are trying to stop the Ravens after learning they are attempting to create mass anarchy and destroy all laws by gaining positions of leadership across the world.

The Wings have been trained in combat since they were kids, as well as in strategies and tactics for war, espionage, and covert operations, with their base being on a hidden island called Teasa. However, that wasn't all, as they were also taught to have a resilience to pain, multiple languages, and some were taught to hack, among the other skills they learned, but most importantly, to do whatever it takes to complete the mission. With these honed skills, they spy on and form plans to take down groups that threaten the safety of lives across the globe.

I also plan for it to be kind of like how it's done in TV shows, and it would work with the Ravens being the main villain, but there would be different threats they face on other days besides just the Ravens, with the Ravens being the main antagonist in the season, and there can be recurring antagonists besides the ones I listed, so you would be free to make some of your own if you wish. If we do another season, then you could pick that season's main antagonist if you wish.

There won't be any powers or advanced tech, and this will take place in the modern world.

I'll explain the other groups' motives and what kind of people make them up if you want to do the roleplay.

If this interests you, feel free to message me or leave a comment.

Hello there! My name is Aiden M21

I‘ve been out of written RP for a while and am now trying to get back into it. I hope you can help me with that! I don’t want to feel pressured to write the next shakespeare novel when writing and just have fun. Also i value OOC Conversations a lot!

I usually write a Paragraph per Message on average, depending on the Material given and the situation at hand (The amount you write = the amount i write.) Simple conversation does not have to be overly complicated. Please dont try to have twenty different conversations at the same time causing responses to be three paragraphs. Conversations don‘t work like that.

English is not my native language so do forgive some Grammatical mistakes here and there, i usually try my best to avoid making mistakes though.

The Settings i usually like to do:

1. Superheroes/Villains (Maybe something like a Hero academy)

2. Apocalyptic (Zombie Apocalypse or Fallout-esque)

3. Sci-fi (like Starwars or similar themes)

4. Romance Slice of Life

5. Fantasy / High Fantasy

6. Military Stuff

(I only play as OCs! Please don‘t try and play as Darth Vader or something. I also try to avoid Fandom RPs as much as possible. I have no problem with coming up with new OCs together if the ones i already have don’t work for you.)

I usually have all my RPs have a Romance plot since thats the easiest and most engaging for a 1x1.

I really love Worldbuilding to make the RP feel actually alive, so i really appreciate it if we have detailed locations.

I‘m always open to ideas if you have any.
Shoot me a DM if ur interested!

​

Hello hello! I hope youre all doing well and would love to talk more about the title. So I got the idea for a magical girl plot focusing on older characters!

My (very early) ideas are the following: MC was a magical girl that fought against wicked monsters in her youth and emerged victorious. Following this, she left that life behind and settled down to finish school, start a career and get married -possibly have a child (or two) together. For a decade plus, things were peaceful and she could finally relax and enjoy her life. Sure she still thinks about her past, but with her support system it has been kept to a minimal. However, history always repeats itself and monsters from the abyss are causing chaos! These monsters are just as -if not more- powerful than before, and sadly, she hasnt been keeping up with her training.

Its her duty to protect; but can she when she has another life? Can she handle juggling both lives or will she fall to the pressure?

I was thinking that the world has changed alot when she was last a hero. Maybe social media could have an affect on her powers and growing a following count helps fuel her strength? Maybe the next generation of heroes have powers that are beyond her comprehension? Maybe one of her old teammates has joined the side of the Abyss and wants my gal to join as well?

Your character can be anyone, any gender as well. Its 2026, men can be magical too! Anywho: im looking for my character to have to struggle between her duties as both her civilian and heroic life. Id love to have this story be a mix of different genres like action, slice of life and drama.

Hiya how is everyone today I’m Charlotte (Charlie) I’m from the UK it’s nice to meet you. I’m 25 my pronouns are she/her. I have around 6 years of rp experience and tend to write as detailed as a response as I can

i try to be as active as I can throughout the day although throughout the week i am at work so my replies could be a little delayed but ill strive to reply as soon as I can , and I will always let you know if I am going to take a break.

I write in 3rd person but can also write in 1st I’m very flexible , all I ask is please tell me if you’re going to be away or lose interest.

I don’t mind if your from a different time zone we’ll make it work my only requirement is that my partner is 21+

i like ooc chat! If I happen to make a friend whilst roleplaying well that’s even better.

Preferably I’m looking for a long term roleplay partner , I get attached to my characters and I’m a bit of a sucker for slice of life romance plot set in modern day.

I have some suggestions but I’d love to see yours too im not too keen on sci fi , fandoms or fantasy type scenarios I like a scenario I can connect with.

So if any of this has piqued your interest then please feel free to send me a message and we can talk more

If you've DMd me before please message me again,I've been away from reddit all month and may have lost a few requests!!!

Hi everyone! My name is Emerald! I'm 27 and i've had 7+ years of rp experience. My main specialties in rps are romance, fantasy, and at times a mix of slice of life/ fantasy. Over the years i've made plenty of different rps that cater to plenty of different scenarios. I normally rp M x F (me being the male).

SOME BASIC INFO ABOUT ME: I Live in the GMT-5 Time zone. I also write in third person with italicizing(which means that's how I describe actions). Mainly to keep myself from getting confused if I use several different characters in one setting. I am also more open to rps on weekends, but i try to Respond as often as i can during Mon-Fri

And heck if you have a plot you've been DYING to use lemme know and I'll see if I can be a good fit for it! I also have some spare plots we can try if you're interested!

PLEASE BE OVER 20. I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO RP WITH MINORS!

As for character types I enjoy seeing in rps. While my character appears human, I love different species that people use. Things like monsters, human monster hybrids, etc! Though i cant say im the biggest fan of furries. Things like harpys, lamias, orcs ,ogres etc are the coolest to me! So if you have a character like that then i'm absolutely certain we’ll click!

But if you're interested in RPing feel free to DM me and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Take care!! 🙂

My dms are always open so I will do my best to respond as soon as I can! My ad never closes either so I'm always available to rp!

ALSO I HAVE PLENTY OF VARIOUS REFS! IF YOU DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE ONE ILL TRY MY BEST TO PROVIDE ONE FOR YOU!

And I didn't think I'd have to add this, but a lot of people ask so I'll clarify. I DON'T PLAY AS A VAMPIRE xD

I don't have an issue with vampires but it's Such an overused cliche XD

Hello there! I am Clammy, 22 year old F and today I am in search for a long term roleplaying partner.

A few years ago, the greedy King Hades conquered the entire continent. His victory came at the cost of countless lives, leaving behind a kingdom ruled through fear and bloodshed.
Hidden away inside his palace was his greatest secret: his daughter, Lucille Heil.
Lucille, 18, was raised as a princess but never truly lived like one. Her father was a brilliant conqueror and strategist, but a terrible parent. He kept her locked away inside the palace, shielding her from the outside world until she barely knew what existed beyond the castle walls.

Then, on her eighteenth year, everything changes. A riot erupts in the city. Fires spread through the streets, soldiers abandon their posts, and chaos reaches the palace itself. For the first time in her life, Lucille finds her room unguarded.
For the first time, the princess steps into the world her father spent eighteen years warning her about, and it’s nothing like she imagined.

Lost, frightened, and completely unprepared for life outside the palace, Lucille encounters a young mercenary/assassin caught near the heart of the riot. To Lucille,he might be her only chance of surviving long enough to escape her father’s reach. Unfortunately, neither of them trusts the other.

They’re enemies from the moment they meet,but circumstances force them together.

I’d love for your character to be a male assassin/mercenary with his own personality, motivations, history, and flaws. I’d rather build the story together than have everything predetermined.

If this sounds interesting, send me a DM with a little about your character and the kind of direction you’d like to take the story. 18+ only, please!

Hey y'all.

It has been quite a while since I have done this but I figured I'd put my hat in the running and finally put myself out there.

So a little bit about me I've been roleplaying for quite some time but stopped years ago and finally decided to try again.

I roleplay at a literate level and post medium length replies but am always willing to adapt. I absolutely love to flesh out our characters and adapt the story to something that suits the both of us.

As far as what we can roleplay? I know it sounds boring, but probably anything! If you have something in mind, hit me (metaphorically, of course).

I do lke roleplays more focused on the romantic slice of life sort of side, but have also done ones based around crime or something more fantastical. I really am good with all of it. But normally, I prefer plots that have some driving force behind them to keep the story going along. The more complicated the plot is, the better.

I have a few roleplay plots in mind that I'm happy to share if you want and we can create something from scratch that suits both our wants.

So, if you seem interested, please feel free to reach out! I promise I'm cute and filled with sugar and spice and everything nice. I also make killer pancakes.

My standards are pretty low so all I ask is that you don't like write an absolute potato and are above 18. Having a personality that isn't non-existent is also appreciated!
