Phreno's Official RolePlay Quest Thread


    A Bit About Phreno
      Yhallothar.
      I am, according to Gaia, The Phrenologikal Cat. But I more commonly go by Phreno or James. I've been here since, uh, 2oo4 I think it was. It may surprise you, or not surprise you, to learn that Gaia was the first place I ever role played. My first character was a helpless catgirl with a myserious past. Clearly I should just take a torch to my memories... Anyway, the point is, I've been roleplaying for more than four years now, so I've picked up some mad skillz in my travels. I'm an ex-advanced literate, if we're going with titles. What this means is, while I spent a few months at the top of the wall, in the end I decided that it wasn't that great. The thing is, people, quantity does not rule over quality. Give me a funny, interesting, descriptive paragraph over three pages of pure crap any day.

      I think of myself as androgynous, but since my avatar is female (I liked the pretty blue cat eyes) I'd refer to myself as a "she", I guess. But, like I said, I'm really just an androgynous blob. I'm in my teens, mid-to-late, take your pick. I've recently graduated, homai, and am currently unemployed. What time isn't spent here is usually spent watching television or playing Halo various games. Yeah, not much of a social life, but I have my moments. My point is that I can usually be found here, and if I'm not than it's because I'm really, really busy. With Halo.

      I live in Australia. I don't know much about time differences and crap, but basically unless you live near me we will probably only be on at the same time around the weekend. Or something. I dunno. Just warning yah.

      Personality-wise, I describe myself as socially retarded. However, according to the public Phreno is crazy, brilliant, loony, high-larious, et cetera. I guess I like the public opinion more. Yes, I swear. Yes, I write gore. Yes, I think puns and sarcasm are just the epitome of wit. No, I don't care if you violently disagree. You're entitled to your opinion, just let me be entitled to mine.

      Uh, if you're feeling intimidated or something and want to go, please don't. *clings* D:
      You could find you like me if you just hang about a bit.

      OHBUTHEY, here's something that really bugs me in a roleplay search. This character x that character. It doesn't give you a lot to go on, though neither does just "medieval fantasy", I'll admit. If I have a 1x1 specific pairing, more often than not they are served with a side of plot. Would it be too much trouble to ask you to do the same?

Phreno's Hot Picks
a.k.a.
Things Phreno Will (And Will Not) RolePlay


NOTE: Honestly? Just feel free to skim over the list. It's needlessly long. x3


The RolePlays

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS AND SPRINKLES
[F] = Served with a big healthy dosage of fantasy.
= Served with a big healthy dosage of supernatural.
[C] = Served with a big healthy dosage of cream comedy.
[<3] = Mmm, deliciousness.
[!] = Plot alert.
[!x] = I have posted the plot in the plot post.

original
  • gypsies and travelling carnivals [F][<3][<3][!x]
    yes, this gets two hearts! why? because, it's just that awesome. now, i have two plots for this, one concerning a gypsy troupe, and one concerning a travelling circus/carnival. first is heavily fantasy, pseudo-medieval era, the second is sort of more 18th/19th century, with mad science more than magic.

  • medieval [F][C][<3][!x]
    lessee; a war, a quest, a pub brawl, i don't much care. i love medieval roleplays. served, of course, with a steaming pile of fantasy. i like european or celtic themes especially. i also love airships, early guns, especially bayonets, typewriters, and other stupid, out-of-era touches though, just so you know.

  • superhero [C][F][!x]
    omgz. superheroes. omnomnomnom. i like my heroes to have a healthy side of comedy, and yes, i am totally down with having superheroes who gain powers through magic, not just radioactive animals. yes, i have a plot, imagine hancock meets the incredibles with a side of mystery men, and you've got something close.

  • steampunk [F]
    i've never done one of these, but i've always wanted to try. i have this thing about steampunk though. it just doesn't feel right without vengeful aztec gods. yeah, you heard me. angry gods and the industrial age unite!

  • sci-fi [<3]
    1. space pirates [!x]
    2. oppressed social degeneration
    3. mutation
    4. underground earth [!x]
    5. alien oppression
    6. post-apocalypse


  • modern [F]
    i'm thinking secret society that hunts / dabbles in the supernatural. you know, the usual. although, if you're interested, i also have my "coffee culture" idea that features a group of not-quite-human university students, a cafe, and lots of explosions. i also have a semi-plot-idea that i will love you forever, if you mention. remember the troll market from golden army? i'd like to do something similar to that -- some supernatural, magical society hidden away from human eyes, just a stone's throw away.
    this slot includes vampires, werewolves, angels, demons, all what-have-you.

  • not another angel/demon romance! [C][!x]
    this is me giving the finger to angel/demon romance request threads. it's just not biologically possible. everything about them opposes. but, when i really, truly hate something with a passion, i parody it. set in france, lots of fighting and grittiness, mutually-possessed man and woman, hilarity ensues! ask me about this.

  • zombies [C][<3][!x]
    i love these so much. seriously. i orgasm when i find a good literate one. i go for all kinds of zombie roleplays. secret serums, something weird in the water, anti-zombie paramilitary groups, frightened survivors... although i don't like to have them rounded up in a building. it tends to kill things. i prefer to have them running around, maybe looking for the source of things. i have some plots if you're interested.

  • school
    1. special school [!]
    2. shounen jump high school students
      magical girl high school students [!x]
    3. normal school [C][C][C] (me saying it had better be highly mocking and full of comedy if you want this)


  • pirates [F][C][!]
    nothing wrong with a little fantasy beside the gunpowder and salty waves of a pirate roleplay.

  • grecian gods (modern)
    i only play the greek pantheon in a modern setting. why? because, that's the only entertainment i see in it. in any case, i play nyx. she's a travel writer for "haunted" tourist spots, and collects cats. i... i seriously love her.

  • "top dog" [F][<3][!]
    uuuh, okay, so, this is a really weird idea that i had that i've been dying to try out. like, soooo bad. basically, high school gangs. you know, high school kids form gangs, rivals against another high school gang, have their territories.
    except, here's the catch. they turn into dogs. not, like, wolves or wild dogs or anything. street mutts. domesticated. pedigrees. whatever. i dunno why or how. sort of a cross between junkyard dog roleplays and... like, street fighter. in high school. shut up, don't judge me! >_<

  • ninjas
    none of this naruto business. god knows i love the series but i prefer historical or red ninja-style ninjas. scantily-clad women or average-looking dhoom warriors. much more fun and satisfying.

  • hell [C][<3]
    a roleplay set in hell. with, like, demons. and occasional trips to the surface to antagonise humanity. but mainly hell. i want something cynical and laid-back. lots of superfluous events and conversations that go no where.

  • death [C][<3]
    a lot like a hell. but with some stronger angst elements. i want something harsh, dry, cynical, funny. i want something that mourns over death and mocks life. sad and hilarious at the same time. yes, this is me giving a shout-out to dead like me.

  • "the changers" [!]
    a roleplay of my own invention. an unknown war for and against humanity between a race of the first animals. sort of a story i work at in my spare time. current characters include an emo wolf, a hyper-active canary, a stony (and awesome) grizzly, a motherly panda, a sleazy, paranoid raccoon, a psychotic possum, a solemn raven, an arrogant falcon and an easily-distracted b***h-mongrel. it's complicated, but ask me about it.

  • "world of shades" [<3][!]
    this is another story i'm working on. it was originally a novella for a competition, but i decided to start over with a new story.
    basically, you have a world that's entirely black, white and grey. colour is completely unheard of. it's crazy, i know. but colour is seeping through, beginning with red blood appearing in the photographs of grizzly murders. this features a cynical, downtrodden private eye and a well-meaning, if slightly incompetent, sorceror. can be friendship or gay, i don't care. set in 1920's crime film noir. typewriters and trenchcoats!

  • king lear-esque
    studied it for a class and fell in love with it. the original shakespeare, not the remake. the one where they all die. it's such a beautiful, sweet tragedy. and i'd like to do something similar. if you don't know the plot just ask me. it's really the most beautiful story ever. just slightly cinderella in characters, but not in plot.

  • fairy tales [<3][!x]
    i don't care how you have this. grimm-brothers-esque enactment of the fairytales, a modern twist on the old stories, dark twisted changes, or you can ask about my weird-a** plot thing. just gimme.

  • western [F][C][<3][!]
    i will willingly have your babies for the rest of my life if you do this with me. no, really. fantastical westerns make me so happy i lose my ability to speak proper english. my plot is based quite a bit on garth nix's short story "hope chest". otherworldy politicians, magical gunfights and pretty outfits, like a badass magical-girl production. mmm.

  • slash [<3][!] < see link
    that's gay love, by the way. i don't like the term "yaoi", because it has some decidedly japanese, specifically anime/manga, connotations. homosexual is an official word. deal.
    as pointed out, i have a couple of plots that can be found here.

  • song-based [!x]
    okay, so, usually i don't do this, but i was thinking something based off i can't decide by scissor sisters. maybe some biblical odd-couple friendship deal, a la aziraphale and crowley?


Uuuh, I forget other things. I have way more interests, just suggest something and I may go for it.

series

A Note on Canons: Unless specifically stated otherwise, I will not be playing canons. This isn't a ploy to get you to play my canon-crush-of-choice while my oc flutters their eyelashes and they fall madly in love. Actually, some of my favourite fanfiction and roleplays end up with a lot of friction, and begrudging friendship between canons and ocs. I like tension, I like that they might not necessarily get along, I actually prefer friendship over romantic relationships, so no, this isn't me living out my fangirl wet dreams through you.
I've tried playing canons, but for the most part I just can't get to grips with someone else's character. Certain game characters with loosely established personalities I can play. Some book and television characters too. But for the most part, I fail.
So, yeah, if you really want me to play canons, fine, but expect some serious butchering of your beloved characters.
D:

books
  • abhorsen trilogy [<3][!]
    yessss. my precioussss. i have two ocs. oc 1 is an unwilling necromancer (possibly abhorsen in the right plot); original plot sets her pre-interregnum. oc 2 is post-series, and is the embodiment of the charter / charter stones. also interested in a pre-charter roleplay. you know, all the nine bright ones as the characters.
    canons i play: mogget

  • harry potter [C]
    hogwarts specifically. i love the books, but i'd like a roleplay set outside the plot of the series. just the wizarding school. maybe an alternate universe plot of some sort. i don't know.
    canons i play: remus, maybe james

  • alice in wonderland [!][<3][C]
    remember the nice, pretty, drug-induced one before american mcgee's alice? the one with silliness and childish innocence? yes, that one. i like that one. i'm up for a bit of gore as much as the next person, but not in wonderland. i would love to pursue a (hetero) romance between the gryphon and the mock turtle in humanised forms, but otherwise some drabble around the march hare's back garden would be lovely.
    i would be up for a through the looking glass roleplay as well.
    canons i play: any and all

  • bram stoker's dracula
    a modern interpretation. i'll be playing the beloved abe (van helsing) if you don't mind. i love that crazy old man.
    canons i play: canon or tweaked van helsing

  • discworld [C]
    who could possibly come close to rivalling terry pratchett's godly mastery of this world and his words? no one, that's who, but it'd be sure damn fun to try. i prefer ocs.
    canons i play: death

  • skulduggery pleasant [<3]
    i. will. molest. you. if. you. know. this. book. i love this book to pieces. there is no other book ever, including beloved discworld, that quite matches the dialogue and description of action that i found in this book. i cannot stress enough how much i love this book and how much i'd love to roleplay it. either just the concept or the full shebang with characters and everything.
    and if you've never heard of it I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
    canons i play: i don't know yet, i've never encountered another fan - most likely skulduggery

  • monster blood tattoo [<3]
    argh! another under-loved series. dm cornish is GOD. another book i highly recommend. for this, because i am such a dirty fangirl, i have an oc i desperately want to pair up with mister sebastipole. she's a palliatrix, so i thought it would be an interesting pairing. i also play a fulgar oc.
    canons i play: i don't know yet, see skulduggery pleasant. i'll have to reread foundling and lamplighter, and then get back to you on possibilities.

  • phillip reeve [<3]
    originally this was just meant to be the hungry cities chronicles, because walking cities are an awesome concept, and stalkers are hot, but i read larklight and fell in love with yet another one of reeve's 'verses. so, for hcc i have a pilot oc by the name of ibis. he's gangly. would you like to play a stalker he maybe found and accidentally activated? it could start of with him/her trying to kill ibis, and then they reach some sort of mutual agreement, and the stalker becomes a bodyguard or something. i dunno. as for larklight, i have no plots or characters. i just love the universe.
    canons i play: see skulduggery pleasant and monster blood tattoo

  • 1984 [<3][!]
    and here comes the shameless slashing. i'd love to do some sort of weird, borderline-romantic-relationship between winston and o'brien while they were in the miniluv. i love the dynamic between these two, especially when o'brien was torturing winston.
    *squee*
    canons i play: o'brien, winston smith (i don't know how competent i am, but i'd love to give either of them a go)


games
  • halo [<3]
    yeah, i've been reading the halo novels (because i am a big fat nerd and bought them) which is what really got me hankering for a halo roleplay. spartan soldiers. mmm, sexay.

  • zelda [C][!]
    i do ocarina, majora's mask, windwaker, phantom hourglass and twilight princess. i would love a twilight princess comedy replay. you know, just playing through the game but with more outrageous humour and midna being just a touch more outspoken and snerky. i play villains a lot in zelda, if you prefer protagonist.
    canons i play: link, tatl, midna

  • red ninja
    yes, i already mentioned this. no, i don't do canons. i didn't get far in the game before my copy got stolen off me. *razzlefragglegrumble* but this game is such bloody, bloody ridiculous fun. heehee, decapitation. i'd love to do something in the 'verse.
    canons i play: none

  • okami [<3]
    i have no idea how you'd roleplay this, possibly set right after the game when amaterasu and waka fly off on their magical ship and have crazy adventures together. or you could do game-lines, as in just roleplay the game. or take side characters, and focus on their pasts and how they ended up where they did. it'd be interesting, to say the least.
    canons i play: amaterasu, issun

  • summon night [C]
    yeah, comedy is inherent in this game. personally, i've actually only ever played swordcraft story, and the swordcraft story two. however, if you've ever played them, or possibly any other summon night, it will be quite obvious why this game is awesome and why i'd love to roleplay it.
    canons i play: [swordcraft story] pratty, ureksa, rondeau, varil [swordcraft story 2] edgar (edge)

  • final fantasy
    anything in its world i will do, mainly twelve, eight and nine though. or the first. i have never played ten, ten-two or eleven though. well, i played ten but never got attached. if you care to explain things i'll give it a go, but not really interested. otherwise i love the final fantasy world to bits. especially nine. especially.
    canons: none

  • animal crossing [C]
    how can we possibly roleplay this, you ask? well, i think of it more as a social roleplay. lots of zany mini-stories overlapping and pointless fun. a soap opera with furries. i expect this to high-larious fun.
    canons i play: whatever's in my town at the moment, i guess

  • harvest moon
    i play the socially awkward [oc] bachelor-farmer bernard, an alcoholic hypochondriac female veterinarian and a scary, scary nurse. i also play an interesting pair of constables. i like this to be as fun and light-hearted as animal crossing, just slightly less zany and sharp. with just a touch of sorrow in it for fun.
    canons i play: none

  • diablo ii
    i play a sorceress, a female necromancer, an assassin or a druid. i like my diablo saturated in angst and suspense, with lots of blood and inner monologuing. yeah, sorry, that's just how i roll. but i do like a bit of sharp wit too.
    canons i play: npc-play only (i play canons as side characters, not as mains)

  • pokemon [C]
    i really want a beginner's game. everywhere i go everyone already has their level eighty ninetails and their legendary of choice. the only plot to follow is the generic bring-down-evil-organisation one. i want a generic travelling-newbie quest, damnit! something as silly as the anime -- but please, less embarrassingly lame.
    canons i play: ask, and thee shall recieve

  • jak and daxter [C]
    i keep to the desert. i've got a pair of oc wastelander femmes i love. one is an incredibly lucky ex-burlesque dancer monk (or ex-monk depending on the plot), the other is a lesbian feminist who likes big guns and getting drunk, and is the monk's bodyguard. i'd prefer more oc's on your half, but the characters from the game are so awesome i don't care either way.
    canons i play: none

  • kingdom hearts
    blah, it's been a while since i played the original. i got a few minutes into kh:com and realised i hated it and the disc i have of the second is shitty and won't work past the ending of twilight town. so i'm not an expert here. but i love the original, and the second, as far as i played it, was awesome. i have an original light-heartless species i like to play if you're interested, but otherwise i have more normal ocs.
    canons i play: none

  • psychonauts [C][<3][!]
    i will love you forever if you know this and are interested. i've played and replayed it and i still love it. i have a plot that calls for a small group of four other oc's. lots of insanity.
    canons i play: cruller, maybe?

  • assassin's creed [?!]
    okay, be aware that my 360 and my copy of assassin's creed got stolen before i got to the "big secret", but i still got pretty far.
    i have a few ideas. about a modern day roleplay of the two fighting forces, a look at the "man behind the curtain" sort of thing. or, considering they were active throughout history, something there. plenty of other possibilities out there.
    something i like to do, if you don't know it yet, is take a look at minor or supporting characters. explore their history, how they became who they are in the events of the game. plenty possibility of that in assassin's creed.
    canons i play: none

  • kotor [<3]
    to be honest the only part of star wars i love. i liked and was interested in the original trilogy, wanted to molest ewan mcgregor in the others, and loved the entire concept, but kotor was what hit me in my geek bone. i've only finished the first, however. sith lords does not like me. i'm running around onderon hopelessly at the moment, but the disc keeps ******** up. if that doesn't matter to you, come join me and my brusque jedi sentinal turned sith. yes, i play a human jedi, and human jedi only. i don't know enough about any other race or culture in the sw 'verse to play anything else convincingly. maybe some sort of smuggler, at a stretch.
    canons i play: none

  • dark cloud [!]
    the first. not dark chronicle or dark cloud 2, whatever your version is called. i never played the second, just the first. i will either play a "what happened after" with the characters, keeping in mind it was sort of like the whole quest never happened anyway judging by the ending movie, or i'll play an alternate universe with my moon person character.
    canons i play: none


television/movies
  • avatar: the last airbender [C]
    it's one of the ones that are best done post- or way, way pre-series. i... have no plot whatsoever, but this series rules and is awesome. my oc is a waterbender, just so we're clear. that's right, it's not some airbender that miraculously survived despite all canon! even pre-genocide, i play waterbender.
    rawr.
    canons i play: none

  • torchwood
    oh yes, that awful spin off from doctor who. xD all oc cast, a london branch of torchwood or something. no characters from the series. i love jack and i really love ianto, but not enough to roleplay with or as them. i only got up to the first five episodes before it was cut, anyway, so i guess i'm just not familiar with them.
    canons i play: none

  • doctor who [<3]
    yeah, so. yes, i have a gallifreyan oc. yes, it's a female. (time lady?) no, she was not created with the sole purpose of her and the good doctor eventually macking. actually, they don't get along. at all. friendship would be a miracle. romance? hell could freeze over and it still wouldn't happen.
    yes, i figured out how she exists. no, i will not use solely her in a docwho roleplay. so please stop flailing your arms and panicking. it's roleplay. the point is to make up new, strange, unlikely scenarios.
    oh, one more thing. as much as i like the current series, it annoys me to no end how much they are focusing on earth. i want to see more alien planets, damnit!
    canons i play: none

  • firefly/serenity [<3]
    either post- or pre-movie. like the others, no touchy of the oc's. i just find roleplaying with television characters harder than book or game characters i guess. but yes, otherwise i would love a firefly/serenity roleplay. maybe, like, as agents after river or something. bring along another experimental-reader if we're looking for lots of insanity.
    canons i play: never roleplayed this before, but i wouldn't mind trying river

  • the librarian [C][<3]
    :DDD
    canons i play: none (though i wouldn't mind giving judson a shot -- i srsly love him). tried flynn once - EPIC. FAIL.

  • farscape [C][<3][<3]
    anything in the farscape-verse? yes, yes please. so much.
    canons i play: none

  • stargate: sg-1/atlantis
    remember in the movie how they had the weird animal thing on abydos? i do. i wish there were more weird alien creatures in stargate. goa'uld and asgard just isn't enough weird! wraith are creepy, and their tech is awesome. but it seems only intelligent life forms can have evolved beyond earth standards...
    this is why farscape is awesome. cow? what the hell is a cow?
    yeah, anyway, i play only with ocs except maybe i'd stretch for a mcshep 1x1.
    canons i play: mckay, sheppard


...haha, so much sci-fi.

will not do
    There are some things on this list I don't do not out of hatred for it, but mainly -- just so you don't get offended -- mainly it's just because the subject simply doesn't interest me.
    Don't get me wrong. There's hatred there too. Just not entirely.

  • slave
    sorry, just doesn't interest me.
  • twilight
    no. you know what happens when i go request-thread hopping, and i find this bolded and underlined right smack into the middle of an otherwise respectable list? i hit that back button. if you even mention this to me, i will lose all respect for you, immediately. you got your fandoms, i got mine. i'm a hater on the smeyer vamps. oh, but you're desperate to make some sweet lovin' to edward cullen? tough titties. i don't do twilight.
  • "vampire" roleplays
    "omgz, u dont do vampyrres? whyyy???!!"
    shut up. i play vampires, yes. but! i'm not going to make up a roleplay centred entirely around the existence of vampires. please don't talk to me about "vampyres", and i would highly suggest not saying the following word in my presence as well: "dhampirs". no. just... just no. you're either a vampire or you're not. that's how i play them. ********, you want to know how i really play vampires? really. ********. old. school. eastern european mythos. bloated. purple. mindless. corpses.
    vampires are dead. this is generally accepted fact in every myth. qed: dead women make dead babies. and dead men? dead men are sterile.
    "but what if it's blade? what if she was turned while pregnant?"
    woman dies. baby dies. woman comes back as a vampire? comes back with with a half-grown fetus that is now dead and has no chance of living. psychological trauma all around. it would be a lovely literary tool, it really would, but oh no, we all have to have our day-walker of choice...
  • lycans
    lycanthropy is a disease. werewolves are afflicted with lycanthropy, they are lycanthropes. lycan is not a word. lycan is not a species. lycanthropy. is. a. disease. that's how i play it. calling a werewolf a lycan is like calling a cancer patient a can. so stfu and gtfo.
  • ********
    i hate it with a passion. feel free to love it, just don't ask me to.
  • anime in general
    i love anime. i watch so many different series religiously. there are so many funny, original stories. but i don't roleplay them mostly. any of the ones i do find myself interested in roleplaying are usually less popular anyway.
  • final fantasy vii
    yeah, i said i'd do any ff one, but not this. i haven't played it. no, shut up, i just don't want to.
  • band
    i don't like it, i don't dislike it. it is a matter if having no opinion and no interest in it. i don't see the allure of it.
  • average high school
    because the ones in real life are just such fun that we all want to re-live it. [/sarcasm]
  • incest
    it's personal.
    note ; though i feel it important to add that as far as incest within the greek pantheon goes, i am fine with. in fact, divine incest of any nature i understand and will play. i know, it's weird, but that's how i am.

There you have it. Things I specifically don't do. A list put here to make you realise that just because something isn't on the other lists doesn't mean I'm not willing to do it. Just these things I'm not willing to do.

    Post in the thread no, seriously, my PMs randomly and often go on the fritz, so if you send be a PM chances are I won't be able to access my inbox, and I definitely will not be able to read and respond. So of course by the time they do work, I'll have forgotten about your message entirely.
    See? A practical reason why threads are better. Thank you.
    No, I do not have AIM.
    I have MSN, but I only tell that to major friends of mine.
    My YIM is gandhi_cat, it's sort of my unofficial spam-up contacts list, for all your roleplay needs.

    I usually only do thread roleplays, but if you truly cannot stand them, or if you ask reeeeaaaally nicely, I will happily do a PM roleplay with you. But please see the above part on contact me for a very strong argument against PM roleplays.


Are You Even Interested?
    As, um, truly warming as your messages of false hope are, I'd rather no good luck bumps. Yes, it can get lonely in here, but I'd rather know I'm speaking to someone who's actually interested in a roleplay.
    I'm not saying I wouldn't love a chat. I just want a chat with a potential roleplayer over someone who isn't going to stick around.

Phreno's Plot Idea Thingies



These are the ones I could be bothered to hunt down and write up... so far.
Ask me about others.
This give a good feeling as to my style of characters and plot as well.

Slashyslashy: The King and His Captain
    I'm leery of royalty/non-royalty pairings, especially with princess, because... people don't seem to remember that royalty were all elitist snobs, even if they tried to do what was best for their country. But here I am, because I like the power-play between the characters, when you have a man who is used to being in charge (Captain), and a man who is used to getting what he wants (the King).

    Because contrary to what people think, a male homosexual relationship requires two sets of balls, not just one. Uke? b***h, please.

    Except I've got something a bit... different in mind, as far as these things go. So, I'm afraid I'll be taking the King in this relationship, but before I can get to the plot, it requires some back story into the, ah, unique political state of Beranroet, the kingdom this mostly takes place in...

    First, you should know that Beranroet is, geographically, isolated from the rest of the world. It's in a mountain cradle, surrounded on all sides by high peaks, and there are only two safe passes into it. Once used as a trade route, people found a way around and mostly forgot about the cradle, until some adventurers rediscovered it, and settled there. The settlement grew, becoming a nation, constructed with a patchwork of different cultures laws and beliefs. It became strong and independent, the Beranroet position of king becoming hereditary -- they say that the Gods blessed the first king, and he passes down that blessing to his children. Whatever, the point is, there's something about this king that can combine a mixed nation. So after a dozen or so generations, Beranroet's king died and left no ready heir to the throne. His three-month-old daughter wasn't a likely candidate. With no one to unite the hostile county barons and the like, Beranroet dissolved immediately into civil war, the various counties becoming independent "nations". Soon, Beranroet became so torn with civil war for so long that nobody even knew what they were fighting over anymore. They fought simply because that was how things were.

    (Beranroet's very existence is slightly satirical in nature)

    Skip forward a few thousand years. Beranroet has become known as the Rat Pit or the Cradle, full of vicious little nations who all fight each other with no one gaining any ground -- or rather, they gain ground here, lose ground there, and over a course of centuries the nation migrates steadily, or simply disappears. Ground is often salted and burned, most nations forcefully enlist anyone capable (whatever gender) at around twelve. They have a rotten form of communism and share-and-share-alike, because everyone is either a thief or a soldier. Stolen items circle round so many times that you eventually steal your own crap back, only to have it stolen again. It's not a pleasant place to live, but no one remembers that there's a world outside the Cradle, and has no concept of a "better" existence. They don't mind it this way, simply because they have nothing to compare it to.

    So up pops this guy, at last, and he says that he's the king. Yeah, the kings daughter from way-back-when survived after disappearing off the face of the earth, but only a male heir could unite the country. The Y chromosome skipped a few generations, however, and by the time they had a male heir, no one could remember they were royalty. Until, of course, the lost heir of the throne, Taerin.

    So here we are, boys and girls. The son of whore (Rest her soul -- she came from a reputable whorehouse, at least), father unknown, in charge of running a country. God help us.

    Good news his, he knows how to unite Beranroet, at least, and he did some travelling beyond the borders of the Cradle back when he was a boy, escaping the army. Beranroet, isolated and forgotten, evolved along a different line than the rest of the world, and now speaks its own language, and has its own completely unique culture. Taerin can speak the Trade Tongue, luckily, and knows how to deal with those odd "foreign diplomat" fellows.

    One of which is the diplomat commander of another powerful nation. A nation feeling threatened by Beranroet's formidable military force -- all those generations of civil war taught the people how to survive, how to fight, and all sorts of nasty tricks.

    Your Guard Captain is actually the military captain of this foreign diplomat. There's plenty of tension right there, let alone that your character is probably heterosexual, as far as he knows, perhaps even engaged to a nice, well-mannered, demure young lass back home.

    Lots of giggles, tension, clashing, nerves and, well, fun.


LOLOLMAGICALGIRL
    Now, either I have changed my avatar again, or you are looking upon a perversion of the magical girl genre of manga/anime. Either way, I hope you have a sense of humour, because I'm going to lay it down right now.

    I want a really ******** up magical girl roleplay.

    For a plot, something horribly, horribly generic. Some girl, either blonde or with already oddly pink hair, leads a normal life. I mean, she's scatter-brained but still has to take care of her younger/older siblings/parents/grandparents, and her friends at school are overprotective delinquents/know-it-alls/whatever. Oh, and clearly there has to be a hottest-boy-in-school-who-is-a-jerk/wonderful-person love interest, conflicting with someone of the opposite character type who is also a love interest...

    When one day her extremely normal and regular life is irrevocably changed by a meteor storm! Afterwards, strange things begin to happen in her town and her town only. People acting out of character, odd phenomenon. She is approached by a generic adorable strange animal, who tells her that for some reason, such as special energy waves or the fact that she is actually a princess from another world, she is the only one who can save the world (Despite only her town being affected)! So he imbues her with maaaaagical powers...

    ...through an aggressive alien symbiote who mutates her arm when she goes magical-girl.

    Plot ensues!

    (And I know this font is eye-burningly coloured, but the code is #EEAEEE, which is just so weirdly appropriate.


It's One of Those Fancy-Shmancy Rulers and Assassins Roleplay.
    Haha, don't judge me? I'm not looking specifically for romance when it comes to this. Friendship, grudging respect, even long-lasting hate. Yeah, sure, whatever. But it goes something like this. Yes, I've got an empress. You? You can play whoever you want. Yes, there is an assassin involved, but whatever.

    It's more about political rule than an actual assassin/empress interaction plot. My empress is quite young, and her validity as a ruler runs along the same beliefs behind Buddha. That is, each time the empress dies she is reincarnated. They find the reincarnation, whisk her away from her friends and family when she's still only young, and raise her as an empress. The country she rules is a hugely oppressive, monotheistic place, and they worship the empress as a goddess. Thus, the assassin.

    I think what would be interesting is if the empress is still young, between the ages of seven to twelve, say. The assassin, a strong believer in the rebel cause, is tasked to kill her, but when s/he finds out the empress is still just a child (she is always screened off from the public, as well as her court and personal advisors. The only one allowed to hear her speak is the Voice, but even he is not allowed to lay eyes on the empress. To do so is considered the greatest of sins. So, no one knows her age. Everyone thinks there has just been the same person, immortal, throughout history. Am I making sense?) s/he cannot kill her. S/he doesn't think a child could be responsible for the horrible conditions of the country, and instead kidnaps her, planning to drop her off somewhere with some nice people, to live life as a normal child.

    The rebel leaders, however, know that the empress is a child, and aren't very happy about the assassin not following orders. So, a high-rollicking adventure ensues.

    Interested at all?


The Broken Universe
    This is a setting rather than a plot idea. Goes something as followed, as per my scribbled notes:

    It was once a world that got torn apart, but rather than the core disintegrating after its destruction, it condensed to form a powerful gravity core. A nebula net created by the enormous force of the gravity core (called the Dublinn Cloud) stretches across all the shards of the planet, keeping them connected, and at the same time completely blocking out the rest of the universe. The Broken Universe has no sun; all light, and a sustainable atmosphere and temperature field are generated by the Dublinn Cloud. The gravity core of the Dublinn Cloud is a bright yellow, but further away from the Core, when the Dublinn Cloud becomes more stretched, the black space beyond seeps through. It gradually becomes more pink than yellow, deepening into light violet, then indigo, and eventually a deep, velvety blue-purple-black.

    This is only in the Edge Planets, where the temperature and atmosphere (or rather, lack thereof) makes it next to impossible to sustain life. They say that very hardy beasts and monsters, prehistoric abominations, make their homes on the Edge Planets. There is known to also exist energy-based life forms that do not need sustainable atmosphere to survive, and survive off nutrient waste energy given off by the Dublinn Cloud. The cloud is weak and scarce on the Edge Planets, however, and the energy forms often try to invade and dominate the Inner Planets. However, given all the power of the Dublinn Cloud at full strength, this is likely to cause greater catastrophe in the Broken Universe, and so the constant invasions must be continually fought off. This is only possible through energy weapons and sonic fields.

    There are four main sections of the Broken Universe. Leading from the outside to the inside, they are:
    The Edge Planets.
    The Outer Planets.
    The Inner Planets.
    The Lost Rocks.

    Obviously, they are not really planets, but loose debris of the destroyed planet floating around.



Super Heroes
    There is a girl. A normal, everyday, ordinary girl. Out walking one day, for ambiguous plot-hole reasons, she finds herself *gasp* transported to an alternate Earth. For all intents and purposes, this one appears to be exactly the same as her own world, so she doesn't notice at first. However, there is one glaringly obvious change...

    Superheroes!

    Wait, it gets better.

    Minutes after unknowingly waltzing into this parallel existence, she finds herself in unspecified mortal danger! [this varies based on the powers of your superhero character] Oh noes! But she is luckily saved by a kind of hopeless dashing superhero. When she tries to thank him, he just looks confused, and when she shows awe and wonder at the fact of his superheroes, he thinks she's completely retarded. You see folks, as it turns out superheroes are pretty ordinary, everyday and average in this world. So average, in fact, that people no long write glowing reviews in their newspapers and give them the keys to the city. No, the public is more interested in suing them over property damage, complaining about taking too long to save their kitties stuck up in the tree, and generally under appreciating them.

    It's very lucky for the supers that this girl has stumbled into their world then. She's quite an opportunist, you see. And after having her life saved by yon superhero, she has a Cunning Plan to return the favour.

    Step one: Form a superhero league.
    Step two: Have all superheroes go on strike...

    That's the plan so far. EXCITING, ISN'T IT?

    Okay, actually, the Cunning Plan continues after that. This is just The Hook.
    Basically, she names the league Superheroes Inc. and runs it as a business. First, after people realise the worth of superheroes, privatises their protection for a monthly fee. Government contracts serve as public protection. Superpowers become a source of income without breaking the law!

    Then it turns into a big overarching plotline, possibly with some of the more moralistic superheroes breaking away from SI over objections of superpowers being turned into a business, and decide to take down the league. This turns into an obsession, and said "superheroes" stop at nothing to achieve their goal.
    Or something.
    I dunno.

    Comedy is a key element in this. I don't want stupidity, I want wit. A bit of silly, but let's keep this tasteful.

    I began thinking of this after watching that superhero movie with Ben Stiller, and how heroes got the sponsors. Although it turned into a very The Incredibles meets Hancock idea. Or something.
    Whatevs.


school-based slash
    The good guy. Mister popular. Athletic, studious, friendly, lots of friends, usually dates the cheerleaders, you know how it is. Total spunk.
    Then you have the bad boy. OF COURSE YOU DO. Serious attitude problem, he's very smart but abuses his intelligence and just cruises along, barely passing.
    Understandably, the two don't get along. Except it's more than that. These two have this long-standing rivalry, this deep hatred for each other, going waaaay back. Some incident in their youth. They even used to be, like, ttl besties.

    Anywayz. Mister Popular is recently dumped by his girlfriend because Mister Attitude Problem likes to ******** up his life. So Mister Popular gets the idea to ask out this girl he's had a crush on for some time, and Mister Attitude Problem catches wind of this and... ba-boom, it's a neck-and-neck battle for some poor, hapless femme who just wants to graduate and go on to college, somewhere far, faaaar away.
    Sort of your stereotypical Jane Austen love triangle, except in an exciting turn of events, the guys... I don't know, get drunk and start macking.
    O__O;;
    Or something? I never got that far.
    xD


Space Pirates!
    Sort of gotta give you a rundown of the history, though, otherwise a lot of it won't make sense.

    But basically, remember when settlers discovered Africa, and all the major nations had claims for different areas? When mankind got to space travellin', it sorta turned into that. You got your major world-powers, and some of the other nations that aren't so major, but real opportunists, all sticking their flags on bits of empty space and saying, "This is mine."
    As things happens, there was a huuuuge war between nations, because everyone thought everyone else was getting more than them. So they went to war, all got their asses kicked, and then a small neutral political faction popped up and suggested an alliance -- not some "friendly" organisation, like the UN, but that everyone should all merge together. And when people disagreed, this political faction brought out their weapons cache and said "DO EET OR ELSE." [/arnie]

    So there were more wars, but eventually the universe got settled under the Federation. All the nation-spaces remained, but people forgot that they had all been one planet once, and they became sort of "clans". The Russian clan, the Scottish clan, the American clan, you get the picture.

    So, the Federation ruled and monitored the universe under a committee, and lots of different branches popped up to make sure people did what they were told.

    One of these was the FSPC -- Federation Space Piracy Control.


    There's more history that comes up later, but that's all you need to know for now to get by. And all I really know too.
    xD

    Anyways, so there's my character. American, alcoholic, captain of a ship called the Bandit's Bounty (I made it up when I was twelve, shaddup...). Also, an outlaw with a list of offenses as long as... er, very long. Got a ship full of loonies and stolen property.
    I won't get into his crew, because that's a story in itself...


    And then there's the other character. She's an agent of the FSPC, and has been sent out to arrest my character and bring him in for justice. Which is unusual, because usually they just shoot offenders of his magnitude (oooh, secret side plot!). She finds him, there's a misunderstanding, he accidentally kidnaps her. The FSPC thinks she's deserted (Farscape-style) and send out another agent to kill her and bring my character in.

    HILARITY ENSUES!

    Unlimited multiples are, of course, allowed.


Underground Earth
    Basically, humans ended up covering every inch of the Earth in cities, after learning the secrets of synthetic everything. They didn't need the environment anymore, because they could create their own oxygen, food, et cetera, and the breeding rate of the human race called for exponential living space.
    Seemed like a good idea at the time.
    So it basically backfired, of course, and the surface became an unliveable concrete hell, so they moved to deep, deep underground bunkers all that they could (a lot of people died, naturally), hoping to keep them there until the surface became liveable again.
    It never did.

    They were running out of power, supplies, et cetera. They still had the synthesisers, but no fuel or anything to recycle for what they needed (since you can't just create something from nothing, you need a base code).
    So they got this great idea. Ended up worming their way down to the centre of the Earth, and mining it for thermal energy to power what originally was supposed to be just the basics, but ended up being entire underground colonies and civilisations as the years wore on. Soon it became a way of life.

    There were shuttles and small stations launched into space, in order to watch the planet, to say when it was liveable. These grew and developed, becoming liveable paradises. The rich and the powerful go passes to live out their days up there, getting special allowances because of the work or money they put into certain projects. Scientists, businessmen, the like. Soon they grew into almost two completely different species. Two societies with barely a thread to tie them together.

    If you were born underground, there was no chance for you.
    You live there from the day you're born to the day you die, barely scraping together a living. From the moment you're created (test tube babies, since pregnancy and all that takes away from the effectiveness of female workers -- during medical checkups, ovaries and sperm are extracted from men and women to create new workers) you live in care centres until you're nine, training centres from ten to fifteen/sixteen, depends on your physical aptitude and work slots by that age, and then working until you die (around the age of 45 is the average life expectancy for men, 48 for women, because the living and working conditions are so harsh).

    You get gradually lower into the Earth as you go, with care centres higher to the surface, then training facilities below, and then the Hive, where everyone does various jobs, et cetera.

    Besides working the core (wearing special robotic heat suits, sort of like the lifting robots from the Alien movies), workers, or Grunts as they're referred to, can work in the processors -- turning thermal energy into power -- scavengers of surface tech, mechanics, engineers, et cetera.
    Anything you can think of, always physical labour.
    They don't have anything much simple machines and robots underground. No computers, nothing with a working mind.

    Out in space is different. They have simple, one-track AIs in robots. Such as cleaning bots, ironing bots, laundry bots, et cetera. Think Wall*E.
    Androids, or anything with a high enough intelligence, are forbidden. The government has a huge fear of robot AI taking over human society. I guess they watched Terminator one too many times, in any case.
    The Grunts refer to those who live in space as Spaceheads, or Spacers/Spacies. Nothing in their brain because they're too close to nothingness. Grunts have no respect for those who don't make a living by honest physical work.


    There was some sort of plotline involving an Android made in secret, government found out, the company in question hid it away on Earth, yadda yadda.
    We could make anything by ourselves, though.


Random Sci-Fi Setting
    I've got some pretty miserable views on the competency of human governments, and most of the sci-fi I read has utopian/pseudo-utopian/dystopian worlds based on the outcome of the aggression between nations. It's just so convenient because it's just so possible.
    (Rec: George Orwell's 1984)

    So, possibly at some point in the future the major world powers of the time would have made aggressive motions towards each other. This could be in the form of all-out war, such as in the case of 1984, or some sort of chemical warfare to cripple an enemy nation that backfired, as in the case of Scott Westerfield's Uglies series.
    It could also be a case of internal damage, from governments trying to create a greater military power that somehow damaged their civilisation, such as a computer chip to be implanted into soldiers that mutated into a computer virus or something, creating insane cannibals, in the thread of Doomsday or, to reference something I don't actually like but has a good premise, Bulletwitch.
    I love cannibal plots...
    like zombies, but with intelligence and pulses!

    But that's just me going off on a tangent.
    In any case, I think I'd opt for either the second or third, because it leaves more room for some left-wing political group, formerly of no interest, to take over after people lost faith completely in the competency of their current ruling government.

    As for the oppressiveness of the government, probably along the same thread of 1984, but not to such extremes. Curfew, keeping tabs on ever citizen, knowing where they are at all times, a "Thought Police" (which my character will probably end up being) to take away those who may possibly pose as a threat in secret, wiping them from history.
    There'd also probably be some extent of conditioning in the education system in order to have people grow up thinking that this is a good, wonderful way of running things, and to show emphasis on how the government of before screwed up.

    Although, if we go in that direction, we could probably have the apocalypse due to a flaw within a democracy-based ruling system. Possibly with the whole voting system, and due to the outcome of an election or vote (such as conscription laws that require voting, for example) the world ended in a post-apocalyptic state, and so the government basically tells the people that they're better off leaving all that stuff to people who know what they're doing.


Techno-Future
    Countries fight. This is a given. What sort of sucks is when they decide to make a super-weapon that backfires and destroys all of humanity. So when the government got this brilliant idea to connect people on a mental level with machines, you could just feel the sane people drawing back and thinking, "Oh s**t."
    Here's what happened.

    In a way, they succeeded. While mankind couldn't communicate with technology, they had such an innate, natural understanding of it that not only could they instinctively learn to operate and repair any and all machines, the subjects began to create better, way more advanced weapons and gadgets than anyone had ever dreamt of. But there was a catch. There was always a catch.

    See, while all this technological know-how made these poor guinea pigs super-smart, it also affected their physical state of being. See, as their mind became more and more developed, their bodies were neglected, withering and wasting away. The initial subjects didn't live past the first five years. Unfortunately, they'd already started spreading the vaccinations to their top guys. By the time the tenth original subject had dropped, they were already working on a "cure".

    Never did find it.

    Fast forward a few centuries. What became known as the technovirus got lose. It was in the public vaccinations, in the water, who knows? It culled down the spread of the human population, and somewhere along the way a guy in charge decided that to avoid the same mistakes, everyone ought to live under the one roof. By this time technology had advanced tens of thousands of years ahead of schedule. Human survival depended up machines. Environment? Who needs it. We have synthesisers now.

    People lived all lived in huge cities, packed in like sardines in their "technological paradise". The technovirus had mostly died out, but there were a few doomed citizens who had it. Technorats, they were called. Most were diagnosed at birth and whisked away, to "serve their country". Building better weapons than their neighbours had, basically. Then a man comes into power. No one could remember his name. But he took control. Of everything. Soon, he was just known as "the Tyrant".

    It was okay at first. Tyrants aren't bad. They're just people with absolute control. They get a bad rep. In any case, he decided to replace those flaw-riddled human officers with perfect android counterparts. The Regulators. But the guy became... paranoid. Though someone -- no, everyone -- was out to get him. He instituted and enforced a curfew. People caught out after hours were shot on sight. He become terrified of death, of aging, and he began to systematically trade in human parts for machine pieces. His sanity went out the window, just like social and political freedoms.

    Skip forward another hundred or so years. The population? Halved again. People arrested and executed for no given reason. By now the Tyrant didn't need a reason. Treason was the crime, every time, if you really wanted an answer. Treason, treason, treason.

    Enter, plot.


Not Another Angel/Demon Romance!
    Well, the angel/demon one is set in France (fantastic old architecture there), and centres around four characters. I've given them names for convenience but they're welcome to change.

    Once upon a time there was Heaven, and then Lucifer said "******** you!" to God, and got a bunch of his mates together and tried the universe's very first ever coup de tat. And failed. Because God is ******** GOD. So they all got kicked outta Heaven, and Lucifer was all, "well, s**t dawg. Imma make my OWN place, and it's gonna be hella wicked! (diduseewotIdidthar?)" And he did.

    Unfortunately, one of the angels that fought with Lucy (let's call it Mephistopheles LITERARYREFERENCEWHOO) was besties with this other angel (Aziriel, because that is angely), who was very nice and loyal to God, and when Mephy revolted with the rest and got kicked out, Aziriel was all, "YEAH WELL I NEVER LIKED YOU ANYWAY." But really Az did and became bitter and resentful and spent basically all of human evolution plotting reveeeeenge. (mixing creationism with Darwinism? madness!)

    So cut to modern day France (because France is sexy), and you have two mortals. A good girl (Adiele) and a rotten guy (Matthieu). Maybe they don't know each other, maybe they visit the same butcher, maybe they're neighbours, WHO KNOWS. MAYBE HE ADMIRES HER FROM AFAR AH L'AMOUR. It just so happens that Mephy has crawled out of Hell. Because Lucy has gone sorta whack and it isn't as cool as he said it was gonna be (I'm engendering them for convenience, stfu). So now Mephy needs to find a body to hide in, quick, or he's gonna get dragged back down to the pit. Cue rotten guy lying unconscious on a bar floor somewhere, his soul a magnet for Mephistopheles.

    BUT MAN, POSSESSION SHOWS UP ON HEAVEN'S RADAR. And this is just the thing that Aziriel, was waiting for. REVEEEENGE. So, uh, she? Yeah, fine. Androgynous my a**. So she heads down to Earth, panics because angels are made of the same shtuff as demon and she needs to find a body, quick. So. She "requisitions" that of good girl.

    AND NOW AZIREL IS RUNNING AROUND AFTER MEPHISTOPHELES TRYING TO KICK HIS a**, AND TWO CONFUSED MORTALS ARE CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE.
    LULZENSUE.

    It's sort of a dark comedy.


Fairytales!
    Semi-plot. I had this totally weird dream once, and it developed into a full-blown plot when I was awake.

    There's this girl, she was just called Snow White, and basically she had to run around in these different fairytales, completing them. Every time she finished a story, things would reset and she'd end up at the start of another story with no memory of anything that had transpired. There was another character called Bad Wolf who would pop up and help her, but he just wanted the pendant/amulet thing she wore in every story. The person who had cursed her into the repeating stories was also after the pendant, an ambiguous Evil Witch character, who Snow had to face at the end of each story, but always defeated.
    There were a smattering of other characters, but by the end Snow White had all these remnants of other stories, and she figured out what was happening. Bad Wolf was a lackey of the Witch's, but she convinced him to turn on the Witch and kill her for good. Then Snow returned to the real world, our world, but Bad Wolf couldn't follow, so he hung around in mirrors to watch her. I dunno, I guess Generic Story Ending says he fell in love with her, but I think he was just still after the pendant or something.
    O_O

    Yeah, so, that's my brain.

    Oh! I forgot to add. Feel free to set themes and eras for the fairytales, if you don't feel like doing something old-fashioned. I don't just mean in modern day, with Cindy's oh-so-mean stepmother making her go to bed at a reasonably hour and not letting her get that tattoo, oh, how mean! I mean, Snow White in an Aztec society, with her cruel step mother wanting to cut out her heart as a sacrifice to the gods. Yummy.
Alternatively, there's a sci-fi Red Riding Hood plot.
    You got some typical pseudo-utopian-future setting, with an oppressive, all-controlling government that is assuring the people, oh, don't worry, we're mind controlling you for your own good. All very Equilibrium. Everyone is hooked up to some computers in their brain, so they can all e-mail each other telepathically and stuff. Very cool. And they maintain it all through robots and androids.

    Anyway, so it's a bit of an androidxandroid deal. You've got the government agent, Project W.O.L.F. Cream of the crop. Good little hunting dog, hunts down all rogue programmes that threaten the System. Anyway, they created some spiffy new programme, possibly some sort of pleasure-bot, I dunno, it's up for debate. She decides, nah, I think I'm gonna live my own existence.

    So, she goes on the run, and they let loose WOLF on her arse. Plot ensues.


Gypsies - Road to Nowhere
    The title is pretty self explanatory... but here's an explanation!

    The Road stretches across the entire world, or at least what the people know of it. In fact, it would more be a landmass about the size of England/Scotland. Most people have made settlements along the Road, giving up on trying to travel it. To travel along the Road is almost a religion, you see. No one knows where it begins, and at the End, position also unknown, is supposed to be some fantastic paradise.

    It also holds a group of gypsies that travel back-and-forth along the road performing in settlements. They don't believe in the myth of the End, they think the Road is just one big never-ending loop. They are tattooed and costumed as different animals, those who are birds taking up "aristocratic" positions within the group. Especially birds of show. E.g. a parrot would rank higher than an eagle, an eagle would rank higher than a sparrow, but a sparrow would rank higher than any other sort of animal. Your animal also reflects not just your position in the hierarchy, but also your role within the gypsy group. I play a snow goose, and a dancer. I also play a skink, so just some low maintenance guy.


Carnival - Carnivale
    Yeah, so, I'm running out of colours here. Anyway! This concerns a travelling carnival group called Carnivale. Freaks, animals, tricks and shows, food and fortunes, gadgets and gizmos, found, seen and bought. Set in an 18th/19th century sort of world. Think of it like this. You have an area about the size of, oh, Australia? Maybe somewhere between America/Australia. Got a country that fits that size description? Imagine that. The whole area is surrounded by the Thicken Wilds. See, there are sprouts of thick, overgrown mess, infested with cannibals, monsters, ancient predators, and all manner of nasties, called the wilds. And then there are the Thicken Wilds, which are the wilds times a thousand. Yeeaaah. It surrounds the country on three sides, with one side sheer cliff and ocean.

    So they live in said time period, but there's a couple of mad scientists running around, creating steam-powered robots and there's also quite advanced genetic engineering, making horrible, horrible monsters. Horrible. Who all end up in the wilds, usually. Most people don't travel through the wilds in groups smaller than, say, fifty?

    Anyway, the roleplay centres around Carnivale, who have just lost their doctor to an attack while travelling through the wilds. Their apprentice doctor is young and inexperienced, and while everyone is all very polite, they all know they're pretty much screwed. Except they come across this fellow named Cecil, my character (Last name Faustus, no significance, I just like the reference), fishing. Alone. In the wilds. Well, he's very strange as far as men go, but it turns out he's a certified doctor, and they're desperate. Besides, they have more than enough people to keep an eye on him. I have more plot, along with crazy little twists and turns along the way, but I'd love lots of input from others for plot ideas.

    I'd like this to be group. But whether group or one on one, I'd like some gay-love between Cecil and the doctor's apprentice.
    <3 Thank yew.


White Winter Hymnal
    This is another song-based plot, from on Fleet Foxes' White Winter Hymnal, a very beautiful song, and my favourite piece of music ever. It also has tones of East of the Sun, West of the Moon combined with The Snow Queen and Little Red Riding Hood. It also has ideas from Terry Pratchett's Hogfather. That things are as real as you make them, and that legends are representations of certain aspects of life and creation. It's sort of a fable I made up. I make up a lot of fables and fairytales, just for fun.

    Anyway, you have Old Golden Eyes (A.k.a. the big bad wolf), an ancient hunter, usually taking the form of a wolf about the size of a horse, but always with golden eyes. His prey of choice is young women from small, isolated villages. When they are out (women never go out except in groups, for fear of him), foraging or picking flowers or whatever, he will lure one away on her own. When he has her where he wants, he reveals himself and will offer to play a game for her life. Basically, she has to run back to her village. She even gets a huge head start. If she makes it within the city limits before he catches up, she lives and he promises to never hunt from her village again. If not, however... occasionally women have made it, and he has always been true to his word, so they agree. Not that they have much choice.

    So one day a village becomes the new prey for Old Golden Eyes, and in terror and desperation they prey to their Goddess, Norujin. Basically, the north wind and the epitome of winter. There is also Wesijin, the west wind and summer, Elolajin, east and autumn (fall) and Sateajin, south and spring. So, the next a woman enters their village, and in exchange for their hospitality, she promises to make the run with Old Golden Eyes.

    And then, she goes out and makes a deal with the great wolf. You see, the reason he plays the game is that he is a creature of the hunt, he doesn't actually need to eat. He craves the chase, not the kill. So, she says that she will run to the nearest city, and if in that time he catches her, she will become his, forever, to do with as he wishes. She is allowed to stay in an village or way house one night, and one night only, for up to exactly sixteen hours. If she stays longer, he is free to kill everyone in the village, and she forfeits. However, if he cannot catch her within one hundred years, he must never hunt another mortal again. When at last he agreed, the woman instantly transformed into a great white wolf and began the chase. The two ran across the world, the woman, the north wind, blowing and running so fast that she froze the world under her feet. The origins of winter!

    Anyway, that's the idea. We can roleplay with Norujin and Old Golden Eyes, or make some legend out of it that leads to an epic quest for separate characters (e.g. finding the place at the end of the world, where the chase finally ended, and where the powers of the north wind, winter, and the great hunter is said to lie)



ZOMB!ES
    WELCOME TO PARADISE!

    Talk about irony.

    Paradise was founded sometime in the 19th century, England, by wanderers and the homeless after being kicked out of their own respective townships. It was just a small settlement, usually where they came to die. Which was how it got its name, Paradise. The doorway to paradise; Heaven. However, as more people came to it, it expanded. Real buildings were erected, rather than the crude little sheds and huts that had been crafted as temporary homes. It was a place of freedom, a "Paradise". Someone had heard the name and gotten the wrong idea.

    In any case, Paradise got business, which became funds, which became wealth. A little settlement in the middle of nowhere became a wealthy township by the mid-1900's. Though it was never destined to become a bustling metropolis, it fell away into "scenic" for the tourists. It was quaint, with a good business base and an interesting history. It had four primary schools, two high schools (one public, one private) and a university (though most youth depended on using tertiary education as an excuse to get out of Paradise).



    OH NOES!

    It was about a month ago that it happened. A car crash, as nondescript as they come. Well, as far as tragedies go. A minivan and a car collided. Three people were killed immediately, five were badly injured and there was little hope for them. One survived.

    What was so different about this crash that it got news headlines, apart from the deaths? Well, the lack of deaths. The five that were expected to die made a full recovery. Two of the three that apparently died on-sight were, within a week, back on their feet. The hospital apologised for the mistake, clearly baffled. And all was well. At first, apart from the recovery, there didn't seem to be anything strange about the victims of the crash.

    But then they showed signs of tiredness, becoming pale. They became slower mentally and physically, showing signs of aggression. Their bodies, which had miraculously been brought back from the brink of death, even death itself, was failing. Rotting. Their minds failed, and they lost all rationality. Soon, the only thing that motivated was their most basic of needs; nourishment. Their id controlled them totally. They hunted, eating anything they could.

    And it was infectious.



    ALL WALLED IN.

    Two weeks into "the epidemic", all the roads to Paradise were closed down, and the city was walled in. The precautions were moved into action with disturbing quickness and... practiced ease. The people expected an evacuation, a safehouse, something. But there was nothing. Simply total isolation from the rest of the world.

    By the end of the month, half the population of the town had been torn apart by their own friends and family, left as nothing more than a bloody mess. The remainders were either scared citizens or rambling, dare I say it, zombies. Not a shop in Paradise was left unlooted, clothes and food taken in as supplies. Wooden furniture for fire. The town's only hunting shop completely cleaned out. Few people even knew how to use the guns they had stolen. Most had to make do with common kitchen knives, sporting goods like bats, and even fire hammers and axes.

    There is no self-sacrifice. There is no salvation. There is no help.

    Welcome to Paradise...



    THE SECRET PLOT

    The government was experimenting, as they were wont to do. They wanted to make humanity smarter. Faster. Stronger. Better. Paradise was ground zero of a world-changing experiment. Microchips in the brain, manipulating the body, altering brain chemistry. They put them into babies at public hospitals, and then moved on to private healthcare when it was all looking good. Personal rights? Please.

    Except that when the body turned off, the chips didn't. It was expected. The chips just went latent, and were removed at the morgue, without anyone's knowledge. Except one day...

    A car crash. Victims made a startling recovery. The chips were hauling their a** into overtime, fixing the people, making them better. Except that the guy was dead. And what was dead should stay dead...

    The chips could make him function as a normal human for long. They expended too much energy into keeping him as a whole, non-rotting body. All those delicate, advanced systems began to slip, until all that was left to drive him was the basic survival needs, the last the microchip in his brain could offer him. His hunger became insatiable, and he began to attack. There was a massive death toll before the government even realised what was happening, but by then things had already been taken care of.

    A paramilitary had taken up camp nearby the town when one of the scientists working on the microchip rebelled against putting them into babies without the parents knowledge. Especially since they weren't ready. He was fired, black listed, and forgotten. But he'd made a secret underground base, training ex-militaries, police force, and any hopefuls looking for a paycheck. He was ready when the first "zombie" appeared. He had protocols put into place. The city went into lockdown, before the walking dead could go out and cause massive damage.

    The problem now isn't just dealing with the ones trapped inside with the zombies. In the years between the outbreak and the original formation of the protocols, the city had grown, expanded, and there were those on the outskirts...

Phreno's Extra Extra Shit (Of An Offensive Nature)


    Listen up, y'all. This is sort of like a "rules" thing. Sort of.

      First, I swear.
      Get over it.
      Second, I do gore.
      Get over it.
      Third, I do hard, cynical, heartless characters.
      The world isn't a rosy place -- get over it.
      Fourth, if I don't wanna roleplay with you anymore, and we've already started, I will tell you this. But if you're just applying, and I don't like the cut of your jib (And by that, I mean your post history is questionable to my standards) I'm not gonna.
      Get over it.
      [/b***h]


    Like I said, I'm a nice person.
    I'm cool as a cryogenic cucumber, and except for the things I'm serious on, I'm pretty much a push-over. But I got my pet peeves, and I won't stand for your bullshittery if I feel I shouldn't have to.

    Yeah, anyway.



    My internet isn't all that top notch, so if I don't reply to your posts or PMs immediately, don't fret. Did Gaia crash? Why yes, yes it did. Did it eat my post? Why yes! Yes it did. Did I get distracted with webcomics or crochet while waiting for the reply page to load? Why yes. Yes I did.



    I like songs and webcomics.
    Rec me.
    Go on.


    Oh, what's that, you want a sample of my awesomeness?

    This is also shameless advertisement. Get over it.

Liek OMG Characters!
a.k.a.
Phreno's Characters From Which We Can Craft A Roleplay Around


    I will love you forever if you let me play them = [<3]

    Medieval Historical Fantasy
      Taerin
        There are two versions of Taerin. Wartime and post-kingship. Yes, that's right, he's a "lost heir" character. Shhh, don't judge. Belonging to Beranroet, a completely awesome country, where everyone is a soldier or a thief. He was a thief, born and raised in a whorehouse, ran away when he was ten to avoid conscription, explored the larger world, returned for his mother (who turned out to be dead by the time he got back) when he was fifteen, was conscripted to join the army, at eighteen he was found out to be the heir, so he buggered off again, and was finally dragged back kicking and screaming to the throne at twenty-two, uniting the kingdom under his rule.
        Pale (originates from mountainous regions), red hair, golden eyes (relevant to his story, stfu), a promiscuous bisexual a*****e. Uses people and discards them without a thought. Likes shiny things, but not necessarily interested in wealth. Makes a very dangerous king.

      Ameliah[+Amilie]
        Upon meeting Ameliah it becomes clear immediately that she is not entirely healthy. Skin, pale from sickness as well as a lack of sunlight. Eyes sunken and shadowed. A clear uneasiness on her feet. She often suffers headaches and spents much of her time in the dark and quiet. Her family is somewhat... embarrassed of her. While naturally quite a morose and disagreeable person, she becomes infinitely more so when you mentioned "Amilie" to her.

      Flo+Alaska [<3]
        Flo is a girl, about eleven or twelve, and is a street urchin and an orphan. She wears a large, oversized coat, stockings, and a loooong woolen scarf. She also wears an animal skin, which she refers to as Alaska, and believes it communicates with her. Creepy and cute, all at the same time.

      Hester+Azr'oth
        These two are insane. They're both adventurers, guides. You pay them, they show you these pretty ruins with evil undead and shiny prizes at the end. For an added bonus, Hester, a human and a thief, will break any locks or traps you come across. She's an expert at the traps left behind by the Ancients in their ruins and tombs. Then there's Azr'oth, a minotaur, and oh-I-just-peed-my-pants intimidating, who will kill you if you even look at Hessy wrong.
        What they do is grave-robbing, kiddies. And grave-robbing is illegal. Plenty of room for the unsavoury sort here.

      Archimedes
        He's... a cat.
        Not a "neko", or a cat-demon, or a cat that's been cursed, or magical, or a familiar, or anything. Just a regular old cat. Everyday. Ordinary. Nothing special here, folks.
        He just happens to look human quite a bit.
        Listen, Archie wears waistcoats and cravats, he's got money and sips tea, and despite being an out-of-shape-feline, he's a man of culture. But then, the composed, sophisticated sort are always more fun when their life is turned upside down, neh?

      Mason Stonewall [<3]
        He's a town guard, but one that will make you gasp. Because, surprise surprise, ladies and gentlemen, he's not an idiot. When the quasi-demon adventurer with the tragic past starts a fight, he ducks into the nearest bar for a smoke and a drink. He's never raped a Mary-Sue, and he keeps an eye on all the cat- and fox-eared thieving children. Well, not that he's run into any lately, but he's keeping an eye out for the tricky little buggers.

      Ivenhorn Greenscale
        Oh God, don't judge me. He was my second dragon oc, and goes by "Kreet" anyway, so it's not all bad. He's an ill-tempered, belligerent b*****d, and if you piss him off he won't stop until you're dead. Yes, he comes from the variety of dragons that take human form, and he appears as a thirty-/forty-something male with pallid skin and black hair. He's the adoptive father due to forces even he couldn't fight to my first dragon oc (Dustdancer), and is canonically married to my third dragon oc (Simply known as "Treasure" -- she's a hoarder dragon).

      Maleji Gwdion+Zareb
        Maleji is eighteen, sometimes nineteen, and while I'm not entirely sure what species she is, there's something in her blood that makes her very good at large-scale, destructive magic. Don't ask her to heal though -- you'll get the exact opposite result.
        She's nasty, petty, spiteful, mean, arrogant, selfish and damn ambitious. Like her yet?
        Zareb is her familiar, of a similar nature. To put it bluntly, he's a rabbit with wings. He's an actual mythological creature called a Wolpertinger, of German origins, but it is really unlikely you've had heard of them, so whatever. Ask me about the lore if you're interested.

      Peregrine Amara Khalidah [<3]
        Mmm, better known as Perri. I've only played her twice, but she's one of my most developed characters. Be warned though; if you want to play with her, I suggest you make a character specifically for her to betray, slaughter and then eat. Or, plan a character death at the end. This will turn a lot of people off, especially since it gives away the ending, but in a lot of roleplays the ending is pre-determined, since they all expect the good guys to win, and they play for the journey.
        Perri is not the good guy.
        Perri is not the bad guy.
        Perri is Perri, and she hates you. She is pretty much awesome, and even though I don't really believe in the concept of true evil, even if I did I would say she fits the bill without actually achieving such a status. She's hard to explain, but she's some weird immortal race, and she wants to kill all the Gods. Yeah.

      Teth Ravik Ohm Searbh
        Teth is Perri's "brother". Not actually related by blood, but they're of the same species, whittled down to only a few. Anywhere between five and just these two, or eventually just Perri. Much like Highlander, they're all killing each other for power, though there is another motive behind their self-genocide.
        Teth is nasty. Perri is outwardly more unpleasant, but Teth is waaaay worse. He'll smile at your face, because he's charming and handsome and likeable, but he likes to play with your mind and your emotions. Perri is mean just because she's dealt with s**t all her life and has trust issues. Teth is a b*****d because he likes being a b*****d.


    Modern Fantasy/Supernatural
      Melanie Kibs
        She's about 4'6", English, petite, Roman Catholic and blonde. She could also kick your arse from here to next week. She's England's most bad-a**, hard-working and obsessive demon hunter. Lucky for her, she's even getting paid. She works for the DSAE (Department of Supernatural Affairs, England), and for a few years cruised along on a perfect paycheck and doing what she does best.
        Except now they've stuck her with an apprentice, and are telling her it's compulsary. Compulsary her arse -- she upset one of her multitude of bosses, and now they're making her pay with some no-nothing greenhorn.
        Fine, she'll play. But that doesn't mean she has to play fair...

      Alexia Leslie
        But please, call her Alec. She's slim, perky and the epitome of sweet charm and friendliness. Except to those with a trained eye, because to them she's Hell in a handjob.
        Sure, she's always out to make new friends -- unless you're carting around a v****a and some breasts under those clothes, in which case she's just looking to get into your pants -- but that doesn't make her a sane, functioning member of society. She robs banks and carves magic into her body as a hobby, and would summon demons professionally if it actually paid well. Instead, she's a waitress.

      Sammie Taylor
        He's a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, but has a steady job as a cab-driver. He was born and raised in New York (either stayed there for the setting of the roleplay, or moved), and believes in getting places quickly, not safely. He's a gambler, a conman, a liar, a thief, an alcoholic... and a witch. Since he was young, he's been able to see emotions and auras, and can follow the aural trail of any person or object.
        He has a number of ties to the supernatural world, in both friends and enemies, though isn't looking for a job as a hunter of the strange.

      Amy O'Keefe
        This first-year university student is bubbly, friendly, good-humoured, and completely crazy. Since she was young, she's been able to see things that logically shouldn't exist, and as a result spent most of her life pumped full of drugs (side-effects include insomnia, paranoia, mood swings, twitches and muscle spasms, and random bouts of amnesia). She's tired of that life, and has flushed the drugs -- but now there's something weird following her around, and she keeps seeing shadows out of the corner of her eye...

      Isadore Than
        Petite, pale and pushy, she'd be attractive if she wasn't such a b***h. With a constant evil eye that could make your blood run cold, Isadore can be hard to get along with, but if you appeal to her relatively good-humour upon first acquaintences, you'll find a friendlier side. With Isadore, first impressions are everything. She lives a dull life, in a dull apartment, with dull acquaintences. She hates nothing more than strangeness and oddities.
        Oh, and she's a reaper for Hell.

      Freddy Muller [<3]
        Actual name unknown, this platinum blonde bombshell runs around in low-slung jeans and carts a bloodied chainsaw, cutting up all things supernatural. This wouldn't usually be a problem, but she's just burst through your wall like the Kool-Aide man, and fended of some ugly, purple bloated corpses that she called "vampires". Your ordinary, average life just got turned upside down. The constant, unexplained attacks from the supernatural underground you could probably handle, but Freddy just doesn't have the brain for normal public behaviour, and she's taken it upon herself to act as your body guard.

      Gloria Withers
        She's a nice young woman. A little cynical and OCD, but friendly enough. Everyday she goes to the same coffee shop at the same time, sits in the same seat and drinks the same coffee whilst reading the same newspaper. You'd think the same articles would get tiring after a while, but it's ritual to her. She's neat, she's articulate, she's obsessive... and she's psychic.
        Glorious Fortunes has been open for three years now, and in that time Gloria's life has been relatively normal. The odd stalker after a bad fortune, but what can you expect?


    School
      Ethan Whitford [<3]
        Ethan is... nice. Really, really nice. He's Mr Perfect. Athletic, handsome, friendly, popular, and while he's not a genius, he's one of the few jocks who can get passing grades. In fact, he's actually pretty good in a few of his subjects. He dates cheerleaders, he's friends with all the cool kids, but he's nice and approachable, and is one of those guys who knows everyones name. Everyone.
        It many ways, he's a little naive, but you could just say that this is one of his charms.
        Tall, broad-shouldered, lightly muscled, athletic rather than beefy. Light tan, short blond hair, blue eyes, straight, honest features. Attractive.
        Theme song: As Lovers Go - Dashboard Confessional

      Jethro Byrde [<3]
        He's a callous, arrogant, but dastardly charming bad boy. He's very, very smart, but abuses his intelligence and just cruises through his classes, barely passing when he could be getting straight As. He has a serious attitude problem, and makes a sport out of antagonising teachers and other students. He has a group of superficial friends with a similar interest in antagonism.
        Predictably, under it all is a pretty decent guy capable of some real feelings. You have to dig pretty damn deep, though.
        Lightly tanned skinned again, dark brown hair, brown-black eyes and roguish sort of good looks. Crooked grin, rakish, lanky frame, natural athleticism plus lots of running. Yes, believe it or not he's on the school track team. Not much of a team player, though.
        Theme song: Minority - Green Day

      Nicole "Cole" Warren
        She's snarky, apathetic, jaded and discontent. She's studious in the subjects she likes, bludges but passes in the ones she doesn't and hates sports. She's one of those sorts who would rather make a smart-a** comment on something than actually, God forbid, try something new. She doesn't even know the names of her teachers, let alone her fellow students. That's the type of person Cole is.
        She's short, slim, but with a layer of flab. Wet noodle arms, untameable black hair, slightly curled, always tied back. It's fairly long, and the only real marker of anything feminine on her. Grey-brown eyes, small, pointed features, lightly freckled and black-framed glasses. Never, ever wears skirts, dresses or swimmers. Ever. Very androgynous in appearance.
        Theme song: At the Bottom of Everything - Bright Eyes

      Connections:
      • Jethro and Ethan have an ongoing rivalry. They hate each other for personal reasons.
      • Ethan has a crush on Cole. Yeah. Shut up. They do softball together.
      • Jethro and Cole are in many of the same classes, and have lockers next to each other. Don't talk.
      • Ethan and Jethro are the basis for my "school-based slash" plot, yes. I fangirl-slash my own characters, I realise how dorky and self-absorbed that makes me, yes.

      Eneko "Niki" Tamaki [<3]
        She's Japanese. So either we're in Japan, or she's an exchange student. She's sort of a nerd, so the latter is entirely plausible. She's very mature, no-nonsense, a dry sense of humour, and has little patience for morons. She died a year earlier than the roleplay is set, and was revived by another character (who pretends to be her pet pomeranian). She's now bound to honour the debt by acting as a "shinigami". So, you know, she fights monsters and herds spirits into the afterlife and stuff. Imagine a really bad-a** magical girl character, or a Shounen Jump hero with a v****a.
        Tall, acrobatic build, pale skin. Long, straight black hair. Brown eyes, glasses. Wears simple things, preferably skirts and dresses, out of school. Goes to a school with a uniform.
        Theme Song: Year of the Rat - Badly Drawn Boy

      Clarimonde Webber
        ["Gifted School"] Meet Clare. He (yes, he) is hopped up on so many anti-psychotics and anti-depressants that he hasn't got much of a personality left over. You see, Clare is a half-banshee, one of the gene-splice experiments that make up half the student body of BOF high school. He can hear, and sometimes see the dead's last moments, which makes him very... unhappy. And unpleasant. He has a huge hatred for pure-bloods, and is boss of a gang of punk half-breeds.
        His banshee DNA gives him a lot of feminine and ghostly features. Pure white skin, soft white hair, and usually bleached white-blue eyes, though they turn a vivid amber when angry or using his powers, as a signal of his banshee side. Long lashes, delicate, feminine features, and a naturally petite build. Shorter than most boys, but still on the taller side of average.
        Theme song: Be Human - Scott Matthews

      Christine Hollows(-Quinncy)
        ["Gifted School"] Chris is cheerful, spunky, bubbly, and some strange love child of all the above. She's the type of person who's so nice they cannot recognise when they're being insulted, because they don't understand why anyone would insult someone. She likes to be friends with everyone she knows. But don't mistake her for some idiot or a push over. She's quick, observant and tough. She just prefers to take a different road. She was raised on army bases, and was taught how to be a soldier before she was old enough to speak.
        She's firm, muscled, clearly athletic, but evened out by some very broad curves. She's got a large bust and wide hips. Brown eyes, layered black hair with the underlayer dyed bright orange. Likes to wear heart and flower clips in her hair. Very girly and feminine.
        Theme song: She's Only Rock and Roll - Savatage

      Elisonn+Marvin
        ["Special School"] The Muntz twins, Ali and Vin, are insperable. God only knows why, because they're as different as two people related by blood could be. Physically, he is tall, gangly, blond, angular, and dark-eyed. She is shorter, curved, dark-haired, with light eyes. Ali is incredibly sweet, quiet and friendly, and will bend over backwards to make people happy. She fears conflict deeply, and rarely, if ever, loses her temper. Vin, on the other hand...
        He was always overprotective of Ali. Always trying to please, to make people happy, Ali became especially sensitive to people's reactions, and because of this, he would often react aggressively to any remarks that could be even remotely construed as insulting towards her. Hostility became an addiction, and he began to actively seek out fights.
        Yeah. Also, they are "special school" students. Born with abilities, which have a lot to do with their personalities.
        Ali has ultrasonic abilities, as well as superhuman reflexes, energy blast powers and beastshift abilities (when in a heightened emotional state, certain body parts change into weapons such as claws, et cetera). Vin is an empath (linked only to his sister) and a telepath, and has energy shield abilities. He also has accelerated healing, which he can transfer into other people. So, he can heal himself and others.


      Series OCs

      Abhorsen
        Narkeasha delaMoirte
          What's with her name? sez you. She comes from a noble house, which is obvious because of its stupid complexity. Also, blatantly obvious, because I made her when I was thirteen and thought I was clever, she comes from a family of Necromancers. Nicknamed Nancy, she differs from her family because she's not actually interestedin mutilating herself with dark magic.
          Pre-Interregnum, the storyline pits her with trying to warn the royal family of Rogir's plans, and naturally ends up failing spectacularly. Mainly because no one trusts her, but also because... well, she's sort of hopeless. She was christianed without a Charter Mark, and while she was trained in Necromancy, she doesn't like to use it, fearing what it will do to her, and fearing the realms of Death ever since her mother dragged her through it as a child.
          Nance-Abhorsen plot has her as the b*****d child of the Abhorsen, I prefer past generations during the Interregnum. Insert plot.

        Seff Medárd [<3]
          Post-series, he's a physical personification of the Charter, crafted from one of the Great Stones. He was called into existence due to some great need, of our own devising.

      Harry Potter
        Lacy Danell
          A 5th-year Hufflepuff. Short, chubby, blonde, freckled, and very Irish. Scatter-brained, well-meaning, friendly and often underestimated. She tends to drop off in the middle of sentences, and then pick it up minutes later. She'll stand frozen mid-step for hours if someone doesn't snap her out of it, following a stray thread of thought. Very prone to day-dreaming, though somehow managest to excel in theoretical work, and some practical work -- namely, charms and potions.

        Anna Hannerson
          The lines blur here. She's either a Hufflepuff, or a Badger-supporter. That is, she's an actual OC or she's a fan of the book who supports the Hufflepuff house. Does it get confusing? It does to me. She's one of four special characters like this - what I call a "Hogwhat".
          Anna, also known as Anne, is not the sort of person you'd peg as a Hufflepuff. She's tough, bossy, scary, and doesn't take crap lying down. She's very smart, smart enough to be a Ravenclaw. She's brave and athletic enough to be Gryffindor. She's cunning and understatedly ambitious - a natural Slytherin, more than anything. But if you ever put down Hufflepuff, or suggest she's better suited to another house... well, you'll see that badger loyalty.
          Tall, short brown hair, freckles, glasses, neatly dressed. Perpetual frown.

        Rupert McCallock
          The Ravenclaw representative in the Hogwhats. Physically, your typical Ravenclaw. Tall, languid, pale, neat dark hair, glasses, composed. Then he opens his mouth and you realise underneath the memorised textbook paragraphs he's an immature idiot without a strong imagination. He has his perks - he's not that bad, when you get him away from Rick, and though most of his intelligence lies in memorisation and photographic memory, he's pretty good at logical deduction. But he's arrogant, cowardly, and a tad selfish.

        Richard "Rick" Liddle
          The Gryffindor Hogwhat. Broad, tanned, freckled, messy reddish-brown hair, perpetually frumpled. Not quite messy, but always out-of-place, just stretching the dress-code. Neither neat nor messy. Rick is athletic, semi-popular, and a jerk. Because while they may be brave, fierce, strong, lions are not particularly known for their soft hearts. He's a very self-absorbed guy, a touch vain, but when he messes up, I mean, really messes up, he gets it. He'll do whatever has to be done to make up for his mistakes, though he'll never outwardly admit to them. His closest friend is Rupert, and they are rarely seen without the other.

        James "Flush" Lavery
          The final Hogwhat, and naturally the Slytherin. James is nicknamed "Flush" by Rick soon after their first meeting, due to the phonetic similarity between his surname and "lavatory". Gryffindors have keen perceptive skills. Flush tries very hard to be Slytherin. He's nasty, underhanded, cunning, two-faced, selfish and has trouble making friends. The problem is, Flush is a good guy. He hates just about everyone, sure, but he's not really naturally malicious. He's more the sort to glare and write angry notes in his diary than actively do anything against people he dislikes. He's intelligent, cynical, and always immediately thinks the worst of people. If, in some sort of bizarre twist of fate, you gain his friendship and trust, he maintains quite an odd show off affection. Namely, not showing affection.
          Long blond hair, a penchant for strange dress-up, jewellery, experimental make-up, and clothes. He's like like a cosplayer, but he's not costuming as anyone who actually exists. He's just weird.

      Skulduggery Pleasant [<3][<3]
        Sunny California - Sarah
          Sarah, last name unknown, took the name Sunny California some eighty odd years ago. Her chosen forename, Sunny, reflects everything you need to know about her personality. Her choice of surname is a total mystery.
          Sunny is an Elemental, excelling particularly in fire magic. She's an investigative journalist, and has an online webzine she hosts with her cousin, Boo. They pretend to be two university-student mortals, just investigating ghost stories and defabling them, but in truth they use it as a cover to hunt down the strange.

        Boo - Patrick
          Patrick, last name unknown, took the name Boo. Just Boo. He's an Adept, and a very good one, despite his age. He's Sunny's younger cousin by two or three years, though he looks and acts like the older of the two. He's very droll, down-to-earth, intelligent and introverted. He's actually better at dealing with people, Sunny's overbearing perkiness often coming off as somewhat abrasive.
          He actually wants to be an accountant, but got roped into doing Sunny's webzine with her. He acts like he really doesn't like Sunny, but he cares about her very deeply. Not, like, kissing cousins. More like siblings and best friends.

      Monster Blood Tattoo
        The Palliatrix
          I can't remember the name I gave her -- or maybe I never gave her a name? In any case, apologies. Anyway, yes, she's probably the only oc I've ever created with the sole purpose of pairing off with a canon -- specifically, Mister Sebastipole. Haha, don't shoot me. I was hoping they could have some sort of history, somehow connected to who they are today, and they meet again through their respective professions.
          Anyway, a palliatrix is defined by Mr Cornish as one who is trained to lie and decieve without giving and hints of mendacity, gaining mastery over reflexive gestures and nuances of expression -- and small tiv or twitch or stutter of the eye ot voice that could give away falsehood. Not a very common class of person and typically used only be less-than-savoury employers.
          My character is a lady, dresses modestly, and speaks with a carefully educated accent, and is emplyed by richer folks who have unsavoury dealings. Yeah.

        The Fulgar
          I really haven't developed her, I'm afraid, so it'll mostly be improv throughout the roleplay.

      Phillip Reeve
        Ibis Adelmo
          A Hungry Cities character, he also fits into any sky-pirate roleplay you might have. He's a pilot, flies with one, maybe two people. He's unaffiliated, just looking for the next payday, though he still has a sort of moral code he chooses to live by.

      Zelda
        Luyu
          The incarnation of Farore, a huntswoman and capable of shapeshifting into certain creatures -- anything that hunts. She is accompanied by a Keaton cub and a peregrine falcon, though that's only in her "realised" storyline. When she has no idea who she really is, it's just her.

        Zefi
          A made-up race, and a villain. Comes from a race of prophets and historians, all gifted with some extent of clairvoyance. She was especially gifted, and went insane because of this, feeling all the evil of the world especially powerfully, all throughout history, and decides that the world needs a fresh start. So now she plans to destroy it.

      Okami
        Merlin/Merrin
          A priestess, because that whole paper-slip thing from Okami fascinated me (Yes, I know it was based on other beliefs), as did the whole Okami world. I sort of combined the whole... spirit fox thing, also with Princess Fume, and she is officially the priestess of a zenko sort of Goddess/spirit, called Nabushi.

        Mistress Nabushi [<3]
          The zenko, or a benevolent kitsune spirit, that Merlin serves. Pretty powerful, but prefers to sit back and let humans do their own thing. Not necessarily Okami-verse, but it's a great world.

      Animal Crossing
        Dylan
          A human, and a new resident to [Le`foot]. When she moved in, she wasn't expecting a whole lot of creepy talking animals who always shout thinly-veiled insults at her, but then, who ever expects that? She often and passionately argues with the furred inhabitants of [Le`foot] about how they, logically, shouldn't exist, but there's very little else she gets really passionate about. Making money, perhaps. Otherwise she's perpetually bored, dry, and rude.
          Her best friend is Marin, who is only ever mentioned in passing.

        Marin
          He is Dylan's best friend, in word only, or something. Not much else is known about him.

      What would you think of me now,
      so lucky, so strong, so proud?


      Oops. Sorry.
      I kind of spaced out for a moment...
      It's about a group of 'kids' who were linked together in high-school. All eight of them attended the same Literature class, and were all drawn in to each other by the queen-bee Marissa Twist. They were fast friends after that, besides their different social standings. Eventually little Miss Marissa pulled out a Ouija board. Curiosity took over and they all tried it out. Things started happening to all of them, and a few started seeing creepy things. Marissa took it all too far and became obsessed with the thing. Eventually she killed herself, ripping apart the group. They all abandoned each other and hardly spoke until five years later they get an invitation for a high-school reunion. At the bottom is a ceremony for Marissa Twist. Deciding that they should go and pay their respects to their old dear friend, they are wrangled back into their old home town of Eerie, Pennsylvania.
      They're staying in Marissa's old home, which had been turned into a hotel of sorts. It's a creepy RP about them finding their friendships and learning to cope with each other, along with finding that there's more living in the house than just them. Whatever Marissa had seen is still there.

      Haha. I posted in your new one instead of your old. :3

      Edit; Now, if you'll excuse me I have to get some much needed sleep.
      I'll check back here in the morning and answer any questions you may have pertaining to the characters and plot.
      There's, of course, a much more in depth description in the thread, but I think I did a pretty good job at explaining it in couple of minutes worth of typing. xD
      The only role open is The Prince. I think the way you play your characters would fit him. :3 Seeing as he was dating Marissa, and is rather bitter over the whole experience.


      I never said thank you for that,
      now I'll never have a chance.

          Well, I've checked out the thread.
          It's clear that a lot of thought and effort has been put into it, and I do like the idea.
          Which is why I feel so bad saying that... I really don't think it's my cup of tea.
          D:
          I think it's a great roleplay, with a new, fresh and interesting premise, different from the same-old repetitive trash out there, but I'm not certain I'd be able to fit in.
          Terribly sorry.

      *looks around* Uhmm... Hi I was interested in your Western RP... If you haven't done one already. I saw it in your list and frankly, I love cowboys and stuff ^^;

      I can play both male and female roles... so if you are interested then I'd be a happy snappy pink penguin who pees in perpendicular ponds. (a.k.a I'd be filled with joy >,>;; ) So... give me a shot?

      By the way, I must say that I love your colorful posts ^^

          My apologies, my brother dropped by. I was awaaaay from the internet.
          In any case!

          Yes, I'd love to do a western with you.
          Alliteration FTW!

          I play males and females, but unfortuantely for you the only western character I have is a lay-deee.
          Harhar.
          She's a train robber.

          Did you have anything in mind, any ideas or plots, or did you just want to work your way up from characters?
