I'm looking for a few role plays to occupy my time. I'd like them to be fantasy, adventure -- and I'll expand on that later in this post.

If there must be romance in our RP, I'm currently only willing to do yaoi. Romance, however, is not a necessary element to me -- but if you desire it, I may be willing, depending on the situation.

Here are my current preferences:

Settings;;

Fuedal fantasy world -
A world we can make up as we go, anything goes. Any races, abilities, magics, etc. It is not particularly advanced technology wise, although magic may be very wide spread in a world like this.

Slightly advanced fantasy world -
A world more towards current time in technology. However, it features many races, abilities and magics you wouldn't see in the everyday world. Use of more traditional weapons (such as swords) may still be in effect, regardless of the current day and age.

Fantasy MMORPG -
This is set slightly in the future. It would feature a virtual reality MMORPG computer game, which is a fantasy world of its own our characters play in.

I want to start off by saying our characters have the option of being any race we desire, and we should both be given some creative freedoms in their creation. I will not limit you, and you shall not limit me - within reason, of course. I'd also like to say I'm willing to play more than one character, as long as I can play my own character(s). I would prefer if our characters were male, although if there isn't any romance, I have no problem with yours being female.

The way our characters interact or come to know each other offers another variety of options. We can brain storm for this one.

If you're interested in RPing with me, please post what sort of setting you'd like. If you have any ideas, or what kind of character you're thinking of playing (race-wise). From there, we'll work things out for the rest of the setting of the RP/how we'll start it off. If you want, we can devise profiles for our characters, or simply start RPing and fit in their description(s) as we go.

For posting length, I want at least three paragraphs in length, unless we're truly stuck. I generally won't be writing a book in length unless thats what you've given me, but if its what you desire it can be done.

This sounds like a really interesting idea, and I very much like the thought of it. If you don't mind me playing a male role (or a female, whichever you desire), then I would love to try to take on this 1x1. I enjoy the idea of doing a Fantasy MMORGP (I'm a fairly big fan of .hack//Sign), so maybe something along those lines, though, not necessarily based on that.

Hi there, I'm interested in the feudal fantasy world, with maybe a few touches of the slightly advanced fantasy world. I'm okay with playing multiple characters, but I have never played a female character that takes a large role in the story. I'm willing to try it out, though. In terms of relationships, I like MxM but I'm willing to do MxF. Not comfortable with FxF.

As for characters, I like having profiles. I'm likely to play humanized/hybrid versions of birds, butterflies, and other animals. Elves and humans are just as likely, though. I'm not so into the idea of playing orcs, trolls, and dwarves, but the challenge might be good for me.

For setting, I don't particularly have anything in mind, but I really love historical settings. Ancient Japan, China, Europe, Persia, or whatever, I don't particularly care. or if we simply want a description of landscape, rainforest, desert, woodlands, plains, and underwater are all fine, or any combo will do. Throw out more ideas, if you want.

I'm not quite sure about the plot right now, but my brain is kicking into gear with all the possibilities. For me, a lot of the plot depends on the characters, the setting, and the time of year we start out in.

Oh yeah, I only started roleplaying... 10 days ago, but it seems that both of my current 1x1 partners are pretty happy with things. If you want examples of my writing style, check out A Rain of Blood-red Petals and/or Tale of a Drop of Water. I make it a personal rule to write at least 3 paragraphs, though sometimes the lengths of the paragraphs vary and can be on the skimpy side. I usually try to flesh things out with more paragraphs, though. Yeah, and my posts can get... really long. Post#48 in Tale of a Drop of Water is the longest I've ever gotten so far, but that kind of length only occurs every so often. I'm also on the computer most of the day, so I can at least start responses right away between classes and homework. I love creative writing, and I've never gotten writer's block. (Of course, I haven't been RPing very long). It does tend to take me at least half an hour to write up a post, even if it is only a shorter post.

Uh, that was a lot of info. I seem to be having a thing tonight where I'm typing... a lot.

Hahahaha, all that typing is just excellent!

Don't ever worry about your posts being /too/ long, I'm open to all sorts of length as long as its not just an empty shell and gives you something to respond to.

I can't bare playing female characters myself (I feel out /too/ out of role), so if you like MxM theres no reason not to go with that. I'm also fine with you going with the characters you most feel comfortable with; I usually go with djinns or 'demons' of sorts myself -- its hard to classify. Mostly characters with a human-like-shape as well. Although, I've played a large range of characters so I'm also fine with anything things call for. Considering the open range of feudal fantasy, I'd say we're fine in playing what we want.

I like the thought of ancient Japan, although Persia is also tempting. I'd lean towards Japan though, as although its an idea I'm relatively familiar with I've never really tried it out. If you -do- happen to change your mind and be looking forward to something specific, do just say, I'm not the picky type.

At the moment, unless things change, the character I have in mind is a djinn of sorts, as I mentioned before. The traveling type; a merchant (in a way.) For the most part, he'll be a flexible character, hence why hes come to mind. If you'd like to mention more about any character(s) you're thinking of, I'm sure it'd help us get these ideas together.

We can piece together a more strict storyline/plot, or have it freelance and go as we go. However, I'm assuming if we have more information on each other's characters it'll be easier to pair them together in some way.

Again, this very much varies on our characters, as you said yourself. But, I've definately got ideas cooking as well.

Yes, I'm quite the fan of .Hack as well, it is mostly where a lot of inspiration for such an idea comes from for me. I'd love for you to play a male role, assuming that is what you're comfortable with.

The basics of the idea are down; an online MMORPG - fantasy based. We can start filling in the details, or make them up as we go, I'm rather flexible with that. For this one, I'd say its a little easier to pull our characters together in one way or another -- on the online world there could be a fair amount of things that'd get us going; quests, events, monster/player battles. You know the kind, I'm assuming.

Would you like for us to just jump into it with introductions, or would you prefer to devise profiles of sorts? I'm personally fine with the idea of any races/classes in the 'online game,' but if you want to narrow them down, we can.

I wouldn't mind doing a fuedal type roleplay right now. I know it sounds a little corny but maybe some kind of plot based off rival lords or maybe a royalty servant type thing? I've got alot of characters I can work with in this type of world but I need to ask how you feel about profiles.

I personally can make up nice long profiles but prefer not to. Simply I feel that any character information can and will eventually come out in the rp and giving most of it away beforehand isn't for the best. ut I can provide detailed profiles it its your style.

Hmm as for setting I've played D&D for awhile and read lots of Forgotten Realms type stuff so any of the mythical races is fine with me. I lean towards elves but not the World Of Warcraft kind. Just came up with an interesting idea around that kind of line, elves not Wow.

Maybe a waring clans type thing- add in the spice of one character being the others war prisoner or some type of hostage situation.

I will definitely play a male role and am very comfortable with it : )
I like having a written and relatively concrete profile to begin with (of course, character changes and developments are expected in a good role play, so I mean this Character Profile to be something to reveal who the Character is in the very beginning of the role play.

I also agree that the characters can meet up by many different ways. Why don't we agree on our opening posts as our characters logging in to the online world. And I like to stick to the more human-like races (ie. human, neko, vampire, elf, etc.), because it's easier to find appearances for them. So, we can introduce, maybe, our character's age, race, and give hints to what their personality is like... And what their "real life" life is like, that way we can each get a feel as to who the characters are, how they act, and why they act that way? If you want, I can write my post first, and you can get the feel from that.

And where would you like to do this role play?

Yes, I prefer the more human races too. I'd say thats a good start. I'm fine with opening as well, as I believe I understand what you intend to go for. However, feel free to post first as I can follow your lead with length and such also.

I'm fine with RPing in the private section of the RPs on Mene, unless you prefer to RP by other means (I'm good with E-mail or PMs as well; although the one thing I won't do is instant messengers.) It makes no difference to me who starts the thread (if we are to RP on Mene.)

Jeeze, don't worry about 'corny'. It sounds good to me. I'm really quite fine without profiles, as it seems that would be your preference.

I must admit though I have little experience with D&D or WoW (I get the jist of it, however my knowledge is by no means indepth.. So if you intend to base anything from this, you may have to update me on some knowledges)

As for what you mentioned; the rivalry between lords sounds most interesting to me. However, if we were to go with the royalty/servant (I'm assuming you meant one of us would be royalty, the other the servant) I'd have to request not to play the servant, unless you were really looking forward to the royalty role.

For the rivalry between lords idea I'm assuming there should be something of interest to rival over. Money, land, live stock? Or, perhaps theres some sort of thing terrorizing the land; it could prove interesting to have them rival in both trying to kill such a thing. Ahah, I'll allow you to bounce ideas with me though, share what you have in mind.

I like the way you think ^^. Idon't really have my heart set on any role and I think going with rival lords is perhaps the best base idea to go with. So much can be done with it.

As for the D& D refrence I meant just the race types. Basic elf dwarf human type things. Not in depth campaign related stuff or Wow plot. I may borrow ideas from those kinds of things but I usually twist them to my own means. But back to idea bouncing.

Suppose there is an area of land on one lords property that the other lord desires. Maybe its money basd like a gold rich mountain or a hotbed of precious jewels. Or maybe there are rare creatures in the smlal patch of forest on their bounderies. That gives me the idea of one already landed lord having the son of the other lord kidnapped and held hostage as a ploy to win whatever his goal is.

My thing with profiles for roleplays like this is I don't like having my character set in stone. So any profile I make will be pretty much a picture, a name , an age, plus gender and a few simple details but not a full backstory. Because obviously it hasn't been written yet.

Ah, I see! That works fine then.

The idea of one lords wanting something on the other's land is a fine one. Why not have whatever it is of value (I'm going to go with gold/jewels of some sort, although if you preferred another idea I'm certainly not dead set on this one) be hard to get at; one lord wants it to find it, the other wants to keep it for similar reason. The kidnapping sounds good, a fine twist, adding to the rivalry.

Which brings only one question by me; which lord would you prefer playing? (The one with the land whose son gets kidnapped, or the other, who wants the land and is doing the kidnapping?)

&I don't think we need profiles at all in that case, unless you want that little bit of information.

I'd prefer being the one kidnapped, in which case I can easily play both the lord and the son. I've been searching through my photobucket and have decent pictures for both.

I think having it be like a gold or jewel mine is the easiest way to go. Lets say the lord in question keeps the location of his mine secret from others and has some of the finest product in the land and the other lord wants in on the profit for himself?


Or if you want to be kidnapped I have a sultry bad guy in the wings. Either waay I've got three of my favorite pictures as options for this.


I think basic name age picture profiles will work for this .

Ah, I like the role of the 'bad guy.'

And yeah, that sounds good. Would you like to start the thread and post your profile(s) (assuming you want to do this on Mene)? I'll follow up with my own, of course~ Then, we may begin, unless theres anything else you wanted to throw in.

Wah, you weren't on earlier, so I wasn't expecting to see you back online.

I would definitely prefer MxM to any other kind of relationship for the main pairing. MxF is okay for side pairings, though.

Hmm... If we go for Ancient Japan, I think I would go with a nightingale Avian (birdman) as my main character. If I base this off of one of my OCs, he was captured to be sold on the black market as a pet.

Though I was kind of looking at the rainforest/tropics one and thinking a hummingbird or peacock Avian would be fun. I have peacock Avian OCs in the same situation as the nightingale above, but I don't know if I will go with that situation. I just might decide to make them into vicious hunters that can turn into said birds, haha.

Your djinn fits more traditionally into the Persian/desert environment. I would probably end up using a winged elf. (I don't really have any Avians for this setting, haha. And no, of course I do not have an obsession with wings/feathers! *coughcough*) This elf is a strange one, since he's the only one who developed black (or whatever) wings. He's also incredibly powerful, but doesn't know what to do with it. His own people think he's a dangerous freak and drive him away.

Hmm... Unless there's a way to combine the settings? that might be too much work though... Need to toss around some more ideas. Though if you're liking the sound of any of the above characters, but want to use a different setting, we can modify it. I'm just making up stuff as I go along

Was listening to a song with this translation just now. It's a bit cheesy, but whatever:
That bird still can't fly well
But someday she will know the feeling of cutting through the wind
The place she can't reach is still there in the distance
She gazes at it, keeping her wish to herself

A bird or something locked away in a music box, wanting to escape, but not realizing it isn't real. It just continues to sing it's tinkling song. Then one day, it is brought to life (somehow)....

Ah, I'm sorry for my late response!

As for the offline thing, my laptop often overheats, so my offline-ness is only temporary till I can get it back on.

I love the idea of the humming bird, peacock type. They sound interesting. Although, the elf also sounds quite neat. However, please play whichever character you feel to. Agh, all of your characters could fit in nicely.

& Yes, he would be rather suited to the Persian/desert type area, although, I'm fine with him being else where (as he is a traveler, its not all that odd for him to get around.)

Is there one of your characters you were feeling particularly keen on implementing? I'd be fine with building the setting around that. And I have nothing against combining settings, even if its unrealistically done, it is fantasy, after all.

If you used one of your ones that are being sold, it would bring up part of a way to how my character meets them (he is a merchant, after all, and collects/sells rare and exotic items -- often cursed, actually; djinns are tricky creatures)

Although, theres plenty of opportunity to run into any one of your characters in many different ways. For combing the settings, we could have them move around, its not as though we're forced to stay in one place throughout the duration of the role play.

Oh, ok. Good to know that tidbit about your computer.

Hmm... Yeah, your djinn could travel around picking up various exotics... the cast would end up getting bigger, but that's not really a problem. I love coming up with characters, if we need them. But we will need to limit the main cast, haha. It would get unmanageable otherwise.

So maybe we should start with a few arcs that bring in the main cast. I think the main character on my side is still the nightingale, though. Ooh, I have an idea involving some magic and the music box concept I mentioned, though he is still a rarity being sold on the black market. I think in his case, his main power lies in his voice. He needs to learn the ability, but he will be able to... manipulate something using song. Oh yeah, I need to get you info on the various types of Avians. Maybe the elf clans that I have in mind as well. OMG, this is starting to sound like Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles... whatever.

Another arc, or something, has the peacock and the hummingbird. They are tropical, and therefore very colorful. When they take the forms of humans, their clothes are decorated with intricate feather designs, their hair has feathers hanging from the ends, and they carry weapons that resemble claws. Or maybe the should be able to morph their nails or something so that claws come out. Human forms usually don't have a tail, but it's up to the individual. But it tends to be more convenient to move without it. Not sure what the conflict would be here, unless it's a feud between animal clans, each accusing the other for the disappearances of clan members when the real culprits are poachers and black market slavers. Oh dear, I'm seeing a theme with the poachers and slavers...

Another arc has our little elf boy running into a cave where he runs smack dab into the cave of thieves/slavers. He doesn't know this, but sees lots of treasure. Accidentally falling asleep, he finds himself in a spot of trouble when he wakes up. He tries to bring up his magic, but never learned to control it. They capture him, and... I don't know what they will do with him. But eventually, he brings them down with an unexpected blast of power.

And your djinn, of course, stirs up trouble/encourages and mentors and teaches, or something. I dunno what you were planning to do with him, but sounds like he's kind of on standby until we figure things out...

Hmm... might need to figure out a couple of longer arcs after this, and maybe a few shorter arcs in between the ones involving my characters...

Why is my brain coming up with these things at 4:30 in the morning?

Yes, of course, we won't need a thousand main characters. I'm more than willing to play more than one character also, of course. And it doesn't just have to be the Djinn; if another character is more suit I can play another.

Added, if you'd like to go with a story line my character(s) don't come in at first, I can play NPCs till then -- to help the story along. Interestingly enough I have a fair variety which I think would fit into most of the roles, and if not, I can always create.

Would you like to narrow it down to one of those ideas, then make up more longer arcs, as you said, as we go?

By the sounds of it most of them would involve some sort of thief, pocher or something along those lines on my part. I've got a handful of characters that could fit into that -- so, if you'd like to pick where you want to start off, we can continue with your ideas.

Well, I guess focusing on the ancient Japan plot first would be best. It would probably make more sense to start with my nightingale character, so I'm guessing you will end up playing some minor/npc black market traders and/or shifty buyers for a few posts before the djinn comes in. Don't forget about the shifty magic and music box part, and all that stuff, haha. Though maybe the djinn is part of an organization that travels to different places to bust various crime rings, and the merchant part of things is a cover. His sneakiness comes in real handy, because you can't always tell if he's on your side, haha. The things he does can be.... questionable, but in the end, the real bad guys are carted off... dead or alive. The nightingale ultimately follows him on his missions, though he is still learning about his own techniques.

I don't know if any of the other characters I mentioned above should become part of the main cast, but they could. They would fit into the story as some fun arc plots, anyway.

I'm interested in the feudal/fantasy type setting. I can RP as any kind of character, and I usually write as more than one. And I prefer writing as a male character, so yaoi romance is good for me, haha. I generally write "books," though. My RP posts are very lengthy.

This all sounds very good. Would you like to start the thread?

I'm fine with lengthy posts; and I'll do my best to return them~

Do you have any ideas in mind?

I think one involving more average-class people would be interesting, although, I'm willing to pitch ideas towards anything if you have something you're looking forward to.

Ok, I'll start the thread. You want to send me a profile for the djinn? I'm going to type up one for the nightingale before I create the thread. I guess I'll make the first post too. It's going to be on the longer side, since there's a lot of setting up to do, haha. Eh, I'll just make the thread after I've typed up both of those things in Word...
