Hey, Kex here. I'm sure many of you have seen me kicking around the site for a little while now. I won't bore you with my backstory; I know you're all here to hear about my characters and plots, not me. For those who have never come across my old threads, I'll give you a rundown of my RP style before jumping into the meat and potatoes.

- I write at least as much as my partners, sometimes more. I request at least 2 paragraphs from you, but don't be surprised if I write upwards of 1000 words when I'm enjoying the story. My average is 250-500.
- 3rd person, past tense please.
- I value plot over smut. I do not write the act and prefer a fade to black scenario when it gets past making out.
- I'm happy to play plots with or without romance.
CHARACTERS
Aiden is a 24 year old rancher. The youngest of three, this blonde-haired and blue-eyed gentle soul was raised by his abusive father from the age of five when his mother passed. Due to his autistic tendencies, his father believed Aiden was a shame and a nuisance who must be hidden away from the rest of the world to preserve their family name. Only the dying wish of his mother kept Aiden safe from being thrown into the asylum to be rid of him.
Both older siblings moved out to the city when they reached the age of 18, but Aiden was not allowed such a luxury. He has remained on the ailing farm partially due to a deeply engrained belief that he does not belong in polite company, and partially out of a sense of duty, knowing that if his father is left alone they will lose the land completely. Despite his hard work, the physical beatings continue on a regular basis.
In the fantasy setting version of Aiden's story, his father has passed away and Aiden inherited the ranch. Unable to find anyone willing to assist him with running it, he quickly fell into bankruptcy and was forced to sell. With more money in his pocket than he'd ever seen, Aiden moved to the city and met a war wizard named Sketch. The two quickly became lovers and lived together until Sketch was killed in battle. Stricken with grief and unsure what else to do with his life, Aiden is now seeking to learn magic himself.
Setting options: Slice of life, high or low fantasy.

King of Eldenheim, Damien is unwed and unhappy. That is not to say he is seeking a spouse; in fact, he is too preoccupied with finding some sort of magic to resurrect his deceased parents to even think about love. He lost his mother, Queen Maribel, to illness at the age of eight; his father, King Treyven, was slain by his own hand in a horrible magical accident at the prince's age of sixteen.
Guilt in regards to the murder, anger at his failure, and corruption by the darker and darker magic that the king has traveled into has turned him into a dour and unpleasant being. However, in contrast to his treatment of most of those around him Damien is incredibly protective of his younger siblings Silah and Hunter. His attempts to protect them haven't gone any better than the ones to bring back his parents; he managed to burn down the entire kingdom with hellfire. He now spends all of his time glaring down over his blackened land from the north tower.

Picture that person who always knows everyone else's business, but nobody knows exactly how he knows. That pretty much sums up Matthias. A psychotherapist by profession, Matthias is skilled at getting people to trust him and spill their secrets. Luckily for everyone, he is a kind soul who does not wish harm on anyone. He's a gangly, sandy-haired and befreckled man in his early 30s and never spotted without his brown leather notebook and a snack.
Despite his ability to win just about anyone over as a friend, Matt struggles to find a romantic partner. He dreams of the white picket fence life with a wife and kids. Will he ever find it?

Everly would best be described as a lost soul. Born in 1800 London to a lady of the night, he was raised in an orphanage and put back on the streets at the age of 18. One cold night, he met a fellow street dweller named Sebastian. He was wild and attentive, and Ever quickly fell head over heels for him. Little did he know that the man keeping him warm at night...was a werewolf.
Until the first full moon. Sebastian burst into full wolf form right before Ever's eyes and immediately set on him, leaving his lover alone in the streets with bites and scratches all over his body. Alone he turned, and with no pack to teach him about being a wolf, he has drifted through life for the last 200 years trying to find his place in the world. Despite his curse, Ever drifts from town to town trying to help everyone he can to atone for the carnage he creates each full moon.
Setting options: Low fantasy

Set deep in the countryside of Vaqueria, Brightmore Academy accepts only the brightest (and usually richest) of pupils. This finishing school is open to those 18 and older, as magic is forbidden to be taught to anyone under age due to their...volatile nature. While tuition to attend this institution is obviously astronomical, the academy offers three scholarships per year to those of the lower classes who show magical prowess. Most say this is simply a ploy to look better in the eyes of the community (and the academy board makes no attempts to deny it), but the tradition continues.
Muse A is from the lower working class, and has dreamed of attending the academy since childhood. Through hard work and dedication, (s)he did manage to get in this year. Muse B, on the other hand, was born into wealth with a silver spoon in his/her mouth, as the saying goes. From day one they've had everything handed to them by mommy and daddy, including the tuition to the elite academy. Upon arrival, they find it harder to live alone without their servants than they expected. The two find themselves paired off straight away in class, and must learn to put aside their differences if they are going to make it through the semester.
This could be MxF, MxM, FxF, whatever you prefer!

Dragons are once again waking from their century long slumber, bellies rumbling. An entire generation has passed away since the last time the great beasts rose from the ground bringing slaughter and destruction to the land, and this new generation did not believe the writings of their ancestors. The only consolation for the generation of doubters is the cavern to the north spoken of in the ancient tomes. It is written that the mountain fortress is impenatrable and contains the weapons used to keep humanity safe, but there is a problem...the location of this haven has been lost.
This story can go many different directions. Our characters could be scouts searching for the sanctuary, soldiers protecting people from the dragons, the leaders of the people trying to decide what to do...the possibilities are endless. I'm happy to explore just about any angle.

YC and MC have answered the call of adrenaline and find themselves standing with cameras, sleeping bags, and supply packs at the door of a supposedly haunted cabin. I know what you're thinking: how stereotypical can you get? But here's the thing. The cabin? Definitely haunted. Our characters? Not your usual horror movie idiots. No, I'm looking for a story where the characters make all the right decisions and still end up having a horrifying weekend. Will they make it out? Who knows. They might... They might not. Let's find out together.
MC and YC have been neighbors and best friends from childhood. Pictures of the pair are scattered throughout both homes: small faces covered in mud, birthday parties, school plays, and graduation. Always together and inseparable.
High school graduation threatened to separate the pair due to being accepted to different colleges, so as a last hoorah they have planned a cross country road trip from California to New York. They each have a secret motive for the trip, however...YC and MC have been in love with each other for years, but neither has been willing to risk their friendship by announcing their feelings. Now that they are about to be separated anyway, it's time to admit and see what happens. Who will do it first? What will happen?
Happy to do this MxF or MxM, up to you.
