⛤[[Welcome]]⛤
Hello and welcome to my humble 1x1 interest check. My name is Malice, your friendly neighbourhood goth-kid who never grew up. I'm a twenty-something Brit with over a decade of roleplaying experience both on and offline; everything from one liners on MSN (those were the days) right through to DMing my own D&D campaigns. (I'm a horrible DM, by the way, because I love creating chaos.) I'm currently working as a lecturer, but I'm a trained forensic anthropologist, so feel free to ask about the literal skeletons in my closet. If you love tea, gin or guinea-pigs, we'll get along just fine.
[[EDIT]]
I no longer accept PMs from people I am not following. If you're interested in partnering up, post here and I will get back to you.

[[What I Can Offer]]
- Genders & Pairings - I play male, female, NB and everything in between! For the same reason, I will play any and all pairings (MxM, FxF, MxF and so on). Caveat: just because I am happy to play male characters does not mean you can insist that I play a dom male to your female; that is the quickest way to get me to ignore your request. Having a personal gender preference is one thing, but demanding I play a certain role is quite another.
- 18+ Themes - I like exploring mature themes, such as substance abuse, homo/transphobia, mental health, prostitution and so on. However, I do ask that if we are going to include such themes that we do so respectfully. I'm also a fan of horror, so violence and gore is fine by me. (For the record; we do not need to include mature themes, violence, etc. in any of our roleplays; I enjoy light and fluffy! I just wanted to explain my personal limits.)
- Romance - Can be fun, but absolutely not necessary! I'm just as happy roleplaying platonic relationships as romantic ones. However, when it comes to romance I generally prefer it to be a secondary plot and develop naturally; too often I've have to force a character to be interested in someone they're just not compatible with, and it just ends up clunky and no fun for anyone.
- Plotting - I enjoy plotting. I enjoy world building and character development. I want to get creative here, I want something long term and lasting.
- Genres - I love fantasy, be it high, low, dark or otherwise. Cyberpunk and dystopias are my lifeblood and are my preference over inter-planetary sci-fis, but all are good. I enjoy horror and thrillers, but even more than that I adore a good comedy romp (think Sean of the Dead or Terry Pratchett's work). Usually I prefer some element of fantasy in my roleplays, but can definitely be convinced for a real world, modern type with the right plot, cast and partner.
- Posting - I write at a high casual/low advance level, with posts between 300-1000 words depending on the scene. I generally respond once or twice a week; more if I have the time. I do try to keep my status updated if I think I won't be able to reply within a week, or I will PM you to let you know.
[[What I Am Looking For]]
- 18+ - Preferably older; this isn't just because I like mature themes (we don't have to include any in our roleplays if you'd rather not), but I work with teens, so would feel far more comfortable with someone who isn't of an age I could arguably be responsible for.
- Genders - ideally you will play both male and female characters. If you want a MxF plot, I'd at like to at least be given the opportunity to play the leading lady, please and thank you.
- Posting Level - I'd like someone of a similar roleplaying level to me. Certainly no one liners. However, I do firmly believe that quality is more important than quantity and I'd rather a shorter, more succinct post than one with pointless fluff filler.
- Posting Frequency - I'm a patient person and for the right partner I'm willing to wait for my responses. Ideally I'd like at least one response a week, but I do understand that real life takes priority, so this isn't a hard rule. All I ask is that you keep me updated; if you don't think you'll be able to post for a fortnight, that's absolutely fine, no explanation necessary, just let me know.
- Plotting - I'd love for you to be able to contribute to our plotting and world building, rather than having me lead the game. I'm not here to DM; I want a joint endeavour.
- Long Term - I'd love it if we could create something that we're still writing in months or even years.
- Writing Sample - preferred, but not required. I just think it would give me a chance to see how you write and judge whether I think our styles will meld well together. I can also provide one on request.
[[Plots & Prompts]]
I never fully develop a plot, because I enjoy creating it with my partner. I don't want to give you a cookie cutter story for you to place a character in; this is something we will build together. As such, my plots are short and simple, with room for changes and expansion. Pick and mix, add your own ideas, let's get creative! (All plots have the potential for romance elements if desired.)

Two warring Kingdoms finally reach a decision of peace. To secure this, they each marry off a child from the royal family. One Kingdom is full of tradition and magic, arcana and the Old Gods. The other is a realm of technology, steam and machines.
What happens when these two are forced into a marriage to secure their Kingdoms' peace?
(I have a character written up for this, but I am willing to write new characters if necessary.)

A fantasy world is on the verge of a crisis and a prophecy speaks of someone from another world being the saviour. This world is trying to summon the hero, and in doing so summons character A; only character A does not seem to be the stereotypical hero type at all. Queue some people believing they summoned the wrong person, others believing that character A cannot save them and a few who do put faith in character A. Character B, a native to the world, I'm thinking would either be assigned to protect the hero/join them on the journey/otherwise wind up involved in the mess, depending on how we decide to move forward with the plot.
This plot is based on a dream I had, so its pretty fuzzy and definitely open to further input/development from my partner!
In this world there are certain benevolent 'spirits' that help keep the world safe; they are extremely powerful, but also extremely vulnerable and rare (there are, perhaps, only a handful of these spirits in the world). Each spirit has a human (or humanoid) guide, who cares for and protects it as it grows into its fully fledged form. Lyra is one such human; she belongs to a nomadic tribe and both of her parents were spirit keepers also. However, her parents were killed in an accident (I mean, they were mauled by wolves, which makes no sense given these spirits shoulda kept them safe, but dream logic) and so now she is alone in the world, trying to navigate it while keeping both herself and her spirit safe. There are people in this world who want to capture the spirits and/or their keepers, so that they can bend them to their will, and use them for malevolent purposes.
During her travels, Lyra comes across an orphaned boy in the forest (a Mowgli type character), who rescues her from a monster and helps teach her how to live in the forest, and a friendship blossoms. The boy then helps Lyra get her spirit to the far north so that it can evolve into its true form.
Yes, I have oddly detailed dreams. So, the world felt very 'Avatar' esque, although there were also scenes set in the real world, so I'd be up for adapting this to be wholly fantasy or more urban fantasy. I think I'd like something where Lyra and the boy (or girl, any gender really, your choice) meet and then travel this world trying to protect themselves from the dangers (either people after Lyra and/or the general dangers of being two young people orphaned in the world). If there is another role you'd like to play or any alterations to the vague plot I have, feel free to message me! I'd love to develop this into something bigger!

In an alternative reality, many creatures lurked in the night, hiding in the shadows. Two hundred years ago, the vampires formed an uprising and became the dominant race. Huge domes were erected over cities to create an eternal night, while humans were enslaved and farmed for food. But there is disrest in the capital. Humans are unhappy with their vampire overlords and an underground rebellion is forming. But what happens when a rebel comes in close contact with one of the most politically powerful vampires?
Potential characters: vampires, rebels, non-vampire super-naturals (e.g., werewolves, ghosts), which can be working with or against the vampires
Note: for me, vampires are monsters and this is how I expect them to be portrayed in this plot idea. No sparkles, yo.

The city is a melting pot of different cultures and races; it is outside of the many other kingdoms and works on its own rules. It's the place that youngsters run away to to start adventures when they tire of their homes, or the place where spies and traitors meet to exchange information. The city is mercenary, but liberal. While wandering the ruins of the outer city (uninhabited for hundreds of years), the characters come across an ancient being who needs to be returned to their people to prevent a world wide catastrophe. (Can play as this ancient creature, who needs help returning home, or as someone joining my character on their adventure to return said creature.)
In a world where humans are sold and bought like cattle, blood sports have become a favoured past time of the rich. through pure coincidence, once of these fighters happens across a high ranking member of society (a noble, perhaps even royalty) involved in something truly scandalous, something not wholly legal. The noble has to convince the fighter (who is at the lowest rungs of society) to keep these secrets. What begins as a dubious partnership slowly becomes an odd sort of friendship, perhaps even more. Of course, if it were ever to come to light that two people were not only willingly spending time together, but cavorting, it would truly be a death sentence for the fighter and becoming a social pariah for the noble (which is surely the same as death, no?).
Queue scandals and intrigue and romance and all kinds of shenanigans.
Note: I would prefer to play the fighter character here. I think it would be interesting if it were MxM in a world were such romance is unacceptable, but I'd be fine with other romantic pairings also.

What happens when you come across an old friend who you could have sworn had died years ago? What happens when you find out that said friend is possessed by a demonic entity, hiding out in human bodies so as to evade being caught by angels, in response to having tried (and failed) to lead a rebellion against God?
Based on an odd dream I had. Character A finds themselves and/or their family in extreme danger. Character B, who is in the top echelons of one of the city's most formidable gangs. After a chance encounter, Character B offers to make all of Character A's problems go away, in return for not only joining their gang but being directly subservient to them.
Can either be modern or we can introduce urban fantasy elements.

What happens when you wake up in a place you have never seen before with no recollection of how you got there? What happens when you realise you have died and you are in purgatory; your goal here is to somehow journey this plane, finding the answer to the questions that troubled you when you were alive. You will have to literally fight your demons if you ever want to move on.
Potential character ideas: recently dead, reaper/guide

An explorer finds themselves on a planet of sentient, but tribal and violent aliens. One such creature offers to help them in their journey, in return for being taken off of the planet. Just what are they hiding from?
(Originally conceived as a sci-fi set on science fantasy planet; this can easily be changed to a high fantasy situation, with the creature wanting to flee the country rather than the planet.)
(I have a character written up for this, who I would very much appreciate the opportunity to use again, but I'm happy to discuss a change in roles.)

Based on an old novel concept that died a death; one fan said it felt like a 'modern Frankenstein'.
The year is 2087 and technology has progressed far, particularly in human augmentation. Predominantly, cybernetics are restricted for the army or the powerful, but if you delve into the dark net, you will find a community of bio hackers. Here, disgraced surgeons and home-grown 'body artists' produce pioneering modifications for anyone willing to pay; but these mods are not always safe. Most of these unauthorised modifications find themselves used by criminals, hackers and underground fighting and so on. There is one person who seems to be at the top of this, producing the wildest modifications. What happens when the police are sent to investigate and uncover the identity of this black market artist?

Survival in a dying city; the city has been hit by a plague and its borders have been closed to contain it. There is no way in, but also no way out. The city has become chaotic and tribal. What is life like for the survivors in this city? (This one can go anywhere, open to further development on this one.)

Less of an actual plot and more of a concept that could be interesting to play out (or it could be a complete disaster). You have probably heard of DID (previously multiple personality disorder); hell, you might even have characters with this trait. So here's the kicker; what happens when two writers (i.e., us) write for different personalities of one person?
For this, we would likely need to have other characters on the side, but the main idea is having us both control two (or more) personalities of one person. The plot surrounding this could literally be anything.
As I said, this could either being interesting or fun, or a bonfire waiting to happen.

Sometimes when I come up with a new plot or idea I make a new thread for it. A comprehensive list of those threads can be found here.
⛤Dark Fantasy Pet/Owner - not a smutty plot, focusing more on oppression and angst.
⛤The Witch Queen - Dark fantasy, witchcraft/occult, noble x guard pairing
⛤ And Now For Something Completely Different - Surrealism, creative writing, smut free
⛤Making Devils Cry - Inspited by Devil May Cry (no knowledge of the franchise necessary)

⛤ Any sort of twisted fairy tale type roleplay.
⛤ Slice of Life with supernatural/fantasy elements.
⛤ Literally anything cyberpunk/dystopian (maybe some illegal human experiments?)
⛤ Anything with a serious White Wolf's World of Darkness feel, because I live for that world (gothic/punk fantasy)
⛤ I've an idea for a setting but no real plot; Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking-Glass but with a sci-fi twist instead of the usual Victoriana.
⛤ Your own ideas! Chuck 'em my way, worst I can do is say no.

[[Currently Craving]] - Kinda want something dark and science-y. Cyberpunk with human experimentation, perhaps? Scientist x Experiment, or two unwilling captives, sorta thing. Also have a couple of lighter, possibly fluffy/angsty SoL plots that I'd like to do (post below if you'd like more details).
So there you have it! A plethora of information and ideas that will hopefully lead to us creating worlds together. If you have got this far I'm going to assume you're interested in writing with me, so go ahead and drop me a PM. Tell a bit about yourself, tell me your favourite book/film/animal, tell me what plot(s) have taken your fancy, if any, or let me know you'd like to brainstorm something entirely new.
I look forward to hearing from you.
