"They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."
What do you see when you close your eyes? Where do those distant thoughts travel? And when you look into the blindspot of your mind, lost somewhere between memory and fantasy, do you ever feel drawn to the abyss? I have found through practice that the abstract is merely a fear of boundaries. The blur of sensation and description. Your mind grasping at the yoke unwilling to let you cross the borderlines of fantasy and reality. Where your dreams go once you wake.
Tonight I am your eager Narrator, and wish you to implore the following: What Substance Is That Which You Dream Of? & Do You Seek A Friend?

I. A Friend
I am Vandalous Dirge but you may call what you wish. For who I am is more than language can fully realize, but let me do my best. A 31 Year Old male who lives out of Mid-West, I am a Warehouse Worker, a hobby writer, a proud uncle, and a dreamer. Maybe that sounds simple. Truthfully I say simplicity but the surface of what waits beneath. Like many of you my imagination has been a powerful tool in life. It is helped me harness a hyperactive mind struggling to find focus. Allowed for a viewpoint into multiple perspectives other than my own. Given me reason to empathize with others I wouldn't have dared. The imaginary gave me a place to safely explore the human experience and find a path to becoming a more compassionate person.
That which I am, is why I write. And that is merely the beginning.
What to expect from me?:

II. A Demonstration of Boundaries
What are your Gender Preferences?
As a male the male perspective will always be simple, but I refuse to limit myself to simply that. I am comfortable assuming roles of male, female, trans, and non-binary.
What are your Pairing Preferences?
Risking the danger of not being specific I don't really have any. MxF is easy, but MxM, FxF, and all other pairings are welcome. My preferred position often tends to be dominant or switch if i am simply writing out of the pleasure of it. Alas with a good story I will write whatever position necessary to tell it.
Do you Smut?
Short answer: Yes
The longer answer is I roleplay for the whole gamut of experience and love a steamy romp as long the premise is good. Believe it or not there is art in erotica.
What is your Ratio?
When it comes to ratios I am not a fan. I mean I am always 100% percent into story and plot, but a zany smut filled adventure can be just as fun. As stated before give me a good premise with something to sink some teeth into and I will write whatever you wish.
Do you have any hard limits in RP?
I do not enjoy everything I write. What I mean is that sometimes a story calls for certain actions and events to play out in order to meet a satisfying end. Good, Bad, Ugly? I am just here for a good tale.
For those who need to know here is my F-List.
Simply understand that alot of these details are adjustable. I probably just won't fetishize many bathroom kinks. Somehow it both manages to bore and disgust me at the same time, no offense to those who enjoy them.

What are your expectations?
- Please no one liners. I am adaptable on post length, but I need details.
- Do not be pushy. We have lives, so please be respectful I will do the same.
- Be interested in conversation and plotting
- And while we may plot details know I am flexible to better ideas
- Keep me updated if you don't have the time or lose interest. My feelings won't be hurt.
- Enjoy yourself as much as you can!
III. What Dreams Are Made Of
When it comes down to it if you ask for my interest it is a pretty broad brush I use to define those boarders (if they even exist). Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, Mystery, Myth, Romance, Myth, and Modern Fiction are just the sprawling peaks of my interests.
Or to simply to do my best and list them:
HORROR
FANTASY
MYTH & MYSTERY
Or to simply to do my best and list them:
HORROR
- Lovecraft / Cthulhu Mythos: Let us be clear that Gothic Horror is delightful with colorful macabre, but nightmares from realms far beyond flesh and mortality - this is where true terrors wait. From the shadow of the mind the Mythos is a world where certain truths are a burden too great to bare. To truly understand the desolate ignorance of humanity is a song that cannot be unsung from my ears. I quite enjoy these desperate and confusing tales.
- Slashers, Gashers, and Body Mashers: What I mean is Halloween, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Hellraiser, The Thing, and all sorts of horror movie franchises are my jam. So whether it is incorporating elements of these movies into an original roleplay or even just jumping into these worlds I am down with. Though mind the grizzly body horror unless in a more mature setting.
- Silent Places: Silent Hill is more of a world than it is a franchise in my mind, a quiet midwestern town tucked away in the quaintness of woodlands and tributaries overcast with ever present fog. It is more set than setting. Stories where the horror reflects the inhabitants and the minds at play are all too appealing allowing in depth character studies. Answering the questions of Good and Evil. Compelling the further question of where does the light end and the dark begin, or are you only capable of knowing their brief intersection into reality.
- Monsters of Men: Classical horror such as Vampires, Werewolves, Mummies, and the like. Tragic tales of men. These stories and the inspiration they can bring are vast after all I doubt the world is short on films about Dracula and Frankenstein, and may Satan be praised for that fact.
FANTASY
- Sword & Sorcery: A little high fantasy does the mind good. Stories of adventure and hope that define fandoms such as Dungeons and Dragons, Lord of the Rings, Dragon Age, Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Harry Potter are great examples of worlds I enjoy on the brighter side of the spectrum.
- Grim & Dark: Worlds where the reality is weighed with harsh consequences. No one would shame you for an honest mistake, but mistakes no matter how truly made carry a heavy burden. Stories of survival, perseverance, and tragedy whether in magical lands or apocalypse. The Witcher, Castlevania, Mad Max, The Walking Dead, and Game of Thrones would best demonstrate these stories.
- The East: These would be worlds where codes of honor and martial prowess meet deep personal philosophies. The struggle of mans reality and the pursuit of greater meaning. Often modeled after legends and fictions from all parts of Asia. From Mortal Kombat, to Avatar: The Last AIrbender (Legend of Korra as well), to Dragonball (Z, GT, Super, & etc...), and even tales of Samurai or the modern Yakuza. These are stories paint a picture where personal philosophies and their strength mold the journey forward.
- Capes & Bullets: Hero? Villain? Who cares as long as it looks cool, tells a fun story, and just maybe hero prevails. This is one of those most varied categories because it involves almost all Comic Properties and their movies. Marvel, DC, I don't care I love it. Honestly Superman, Spider-Man, Invincible, the Darkness, and all sorts of characters are my jam. Lets add My Hero Academia in there just to top it. But it is also all about action so modern revenge stories like John Wick and Die Hard are in my wheelhouse
- Infinity & Beyond: This is where we aim for the stars and discover worlds and civilizations exceeding our imagination. When it comes down to it we are talking Star Wars (all of it, probably one of my favorite fandoms), Star Trek, Farscape, Mass Effect, and a even space tales like Alien, Predator, and Passenger (I know odd but lets get it all in here). Here it is the void and the ever present unknown around every corner.
- War Never Changes: Sometimes the harrowing experience of a battlefield or survival is how we learn to value our lives. I love stories of a future struggle and wars. This means Fallout (a world scarred by war) and mech stories like Gundam or Pacific Rim. I would even add Kaiju films like Godzilla and King Kong in this category in how it constantly intersects with the military.
- Rise of the Machines: Mechs, Robots, Androids, and automated cities. Sometimes these Machine futures are amazing but many times they end up horrorific. Best examples of these stories are Terminator, Robocop, I-Robot, and Chappie are good examples.
- Artificially Real: When reality is stranger than you can believe and your understanding of them are bent. Maybe you are Jacked into an artificial world like the Matrix, Ready Player One, or Sword Art Online. Possibly you've been pressing on the boundaries of reality and entering other worlds like Sliders, Doctor Who, or even Stranger Things are great examples of that science-weird.
MYTH & MYSTERY
- Infernal & Divine: No it isn't a killer Black Sabbath track i'm talking Heaven and Hell. Worlds of Myths and all sorts of tall tales. Greek, Egyptian, and Norse Pantheons. Below the heavens to Biblical Hells. Or perhaps maybe what we believe isn't always true and the Gods walk among us. Possibly fables and American tall tales. We are talking The Wicked + Divine, Percy Jackson, God of War, and the like.
- The Supernatural: Cryptids and everything that bumps in the night. Dark incantations at the witching hour. A mystical world hidden from modern men. So Supernatural (duh?), Ghostbusters, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, the Magicians, Vampire: the Masquerade (and all WoD spin offs).
- Crime & Punishment: When the scales of justice are tested then men of the law must march. Yet it is sometimes the skillful work of a gumshoe, or the wit and facility of a dedicated mind that solves the problem. Some men take the law into their own hands. These stories can be found in Sherlock (books, movies, show), Judge Dredd, L.A. Noir, Seven, and Taken.
- The Treasure Hunt: Look I am not even going to beat around the bush with poetics here. This is Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, National Treasure, and any other narrative where a single skilled person or group of people are after an ancient artifact.
IV. The Itch
This section will detail some of my current interests. In order to organize my level of want I will be working with a color coded Key, as follows:
Let us start with some pairings for those who find those simpler to get into!
The Weird West: Sure everybody knows the American Old West was a wild and lawless time but in the period between the frontier and the civil war it is ample space for all sorts of strange happenings. All sorts of supernatural tales to tell. U.S. Marshalls come upon town to only find it vacated with no visible trace of where its inhabitants could have gone? Perhaps a dark coven is conjuring a hellmouth and it is up to a secret cabal of Witches and Hunters to put an end to their misdeeds? Or is it something extraterrestrial leaving a town isolated by a summer drought to fend for itself? Anything is possible.
Tales of the East: Who doesn't love a good Kung-Fu movie. The idea is RP's that focus on combat, mysticism, and honor bound philosophies. Any era or setting is preferred and don't mind the inclusion of the mystical, supernatural, or even technological.
Neo-Gothic: Vampires and all sorts of spooky kids in leather and neon. These are the beautiful horrors of Gothic Lore and Victorian fascinations in the trappings of a modern night. I fancy an RP dealing with a Supernatural world with its own internal politics. A world where the horror and man learn to coexist through systems of secrecy and subterfuge.
FANDOM | Star Wars: Not going to lie... I uh really, really like Star Wars. I consume this universes media near religiously. Only a handful of shows and books I have not had the chance or interest in indulging. To be honest I'd love any story in this universe, and while I can play canons I much prefer original characters in this world.
FANDOM | Dragon Ball: I know, I know this is a tough sale for some but maybe i'll find someone who sees it from my end. Canons and Originals liked (leaning towards the latter). I am comfortable with any era or series besides Heroes (If only because I haven't watched it yet). I enjoy the stories of world ending threats challenged by the ferocious will of a martial warrior. And lets be honest Saiyans are pretty damn cool.
You Meet In A Tavern: Or you don't. What I am getting at is I love me some Fantasy tropes and characters surviving in a magical world of elves, dwarves, orcs, treasure, and dragons. While D&D is an instant inspiration, I like weirder fantasies like Magic: The Gathering where the spells are amped up to eleven and the worlds are even stranger. Original stories, Ideas, and Adventures are welcome. So want to form a Party? Take on a dungeon? Save a village? Overthrow a tyrant? I am down.
- Blue = I have interest
- Green = I would really like this

V. Through the Threshold
Star Wars: Faster Than Light
During the latter days of the Clone Wars a Republic fleet tracked a secretive Separatist operation into the Unknown Regions. On the planet of Irkalla their fierce enemy had set up mass Droid Foundries intent on building a covert army tasked with crippling the trade routes the Core Worlds of the Republic relied on for supplies and shipments. Outnumbered the Republic destroyed the Hyperspace Beacon that allowed travel in and out of the sector. Without a hyperspace route both sides were stranded.
The war for them continued for ten long years after its official end for the rest of the galaxy. Though outnumbered the Republic Fleet had Jedi who tipped the balance, but it was a battle of attrition that changed many individuals. Some Jedi would fall to the dark side and become exiled. Eventually the battles developed into a Cold War as neither side could simply waste resources on large scale fleet battles. Most fights boiled down to planet side skirmishes upon Irkalla or its moon (Axion).
Eventually both would receive delayed broadcasts declaring the end of the war and the formation of the Empire. Leadership of the Republic Fleet and the remaining Separatists found their battle ultimately futile. A truce was struck and both sides came together to form a committee to lead and uneasy partnership called the Alliance with prime directives to survive in the Irkalla System to hopefully one day return to the greater galaxy.
It is now 53 Years after the end of the Clone Wars and the Alliance remains stable yet divided in political thought. The remaining Jedi have set up an Academy on Axion to reform their ranks and train the next generation of Jedi.
Other Details
► This would be an AU story so I am not precisely dogmatic on the details or how versed you are on the lore of Star Wars. But I would say this take place in the same timeframe as Episode VII and after.
► Mostly this will be Original Characters using the Expanded Universe/Legends information a supplements.
► I'd primarily seek to play tell the story of a Jedi Padawan (Perrin Eppis) and NPCing other important characters. But I can branch out to multiple characters.
► Concerning the Jedi, the Alliance's leadership do not trust them much as the broadcasts they received explained the end of the Republic was due to an attempted coup operated by the Jedi Order. The Jedi are also unsure what this means. Hence why they work with the Alliance but have situated their temple on the planets moon.
There are only 3 active Jedi Masters with 12 Jedi Knights making up the senior/educating branch for the temple. Most of the active Jedi are primarily Padawans which can range from children to anyone in adulthood. The qualifications for Knighthood have been made strict due to the limited leadership and that most Knights will sit on a council with the masters deciding the future of their Order going forward.
► When it comes to force it seems the children born on the planet Irkalla or in its system have a higher chance of being force sensitive. This has allowed the Jedi Order to be necessary and reform, but also sets up something a mystery about the planet as 1 out of 100 children end up having the gift.
► Anything that needs to be answered for Lore I can write up, but you don't have to overly concern yourself. Obviously if anything has problem clicking I will be there to help the setting work with your idea.
If this is popular enough I will see about setting up a Group Game to expand it. But I am okay with a series of interconnected one shots.

Doctor Occult & The Phantom Assembly
Sometimes when we dream we go to other worlds. Places of fantasy and wonder in the endless Dreaming where all manner of mystical and fantastical beings await you. However if you are a lucky few, you will find the Phantom Assembly, the keeper of the Akashic Records. The scribes of the Endless called Destiny notate his original manuscript and fill the halls of this ever expanding Library with tomes of history, fantasy, and unwritten tales. All that was and has been finds its way here eventually. Just as all that has never been is on an extensive waiting list.
Humans with latent magical potential come here in their dreams to learn and adventure, fewer magi find their way here after adolescents. But all the lessons they have learned will remain with them even if they know not how. Those that do travel here as adults possess an extraordinary strength of will. In the Phantom Assembly they will find all they need, though they may not remember; nevertheless, the library has only THREE RULES:
Now though you may not remember, in your dreams you sought knowledge without knowing the rules. In your desperation you absconded with a piece of material from the Phantom Assembly. Targeted by agents of the Assembly your waking hours have been filled with odd abnormalities and misfortune, while your dreams have been dredged in nightmares.
So what is a young magi as yourself to do? Obviously it is time to see the Doctor.
Generation X - The Second Class
It has been a long time since the 90's when Jonothan Starsmore, Jubilee, Paige Guthrie, and Monet St. Croix were students at the Massachusetts School. A vital part of a third string group of mutants under the dream of Charles Xavier. Now adults they have rebuilt the Academy after its destruction a decade past. It is a new world where Xavier's dream seems to have found roots with mutants no longer having to hide in fear, the Sentinel Program was given newfound purpose in protecting and policing the public, and mutants are considered full citizens with rights.
A long fight to get to this point the four members of the original Generation X class have taken to leading the next generation at the Cassidy Academy of Higher Learning for the Gifted. Funded by the Frost Foundation and the Xavier Estate, they possess a revolving faculty of former students and X-Men who have excelled since their schooling.
But life isn't all that easy and the next generation is in for a bumpy ride to set the example. They are the test to show that Mutant and Human kind can coexist. This is their story.
Over many thousands of years ago the Gods of the Universe died in a cosmic wave that broke down the walls between dimensions. It was a time of dragons, knights, and magic and in a moment the world people knew collapsed as object they dubbed Dark Star crashed bringing with it Planar Strangers that gifted people the means of inter-spatial travel. Without the gods Magic had become violent and erratic. Wizards and Sorcerers were consumed by black aether from the conjuring of simple spells, while Clerics and Paladins found their calls to the Divine empty and fleeting. Upon the life was dying upon the Planet of Logos, the Planar Strangers, offered the people a chance to live and thrive. They would become the Pioneers of the First World and board Celestial Arks and spread across a Galaxy during the Dimensional Pangenesis.
Worlds and Planes once separate from Logos had begun to occupy and alter the nature of space. From the creeping void of the Nether Worlds at the center of the universe, to the distant Freyed Realms of Esper Wilds on the spirally edges of reality. Within the time that followed the Exodus from Logos the First World the races and species had come to populate the vastness of space. Colonies became the basis of interplanetary Governments and when the dust of the cataclysm settled in three thousands years Magic began to weave again, restructuring, healing, and adapting with the sciences. It was small things at first but now over Five Thousand Years After Cataclysm (5,000 A.C.) it is surging through all corners of space without explanation.
Federations and Empires across the Inner-Space have become concerned with reports and sightings of the Dark Star and the Planar Strangers. Considered a myth and legend at this time an interest in Logos: The First World had been ignited. Especially when news of abduction and eradication followed the path of the strangers and their mysterious agenda. A race to find the Lost World had begun, as the Planets of the Inner-Space prepared repel unwanted visitors from the Outer-Planes.

Stranger In A Strange Land
A tale where by some arrangement of events a YC or MC travel from some far future or planet to a point in Earth's Past. The nature of this characters arrival stirs events forward and entangles them in the natives life. Perhaps they are bitter and caught in conflict? Maybe they are amused and fascinated by one another? Even fearful and skeptical. Whatever the case may be a romance build between them through the trials they endure together. For a potential start a warrior from the future is sent back in time to track down Temporal Criminal that has used time travel technology to alter the past for their own gain. But of course things don't go as planned and the warrior is trapped without a means to communicate with their team.
The Southern Kingdom of Dorhaal had crossed the sea to war in the Northern Lands Kroshan against the Barbarian Kings. The King Osmund IX of Redmont and his Four Sons ravished the Barbarians that threatened their lands and forced them into a truce. After seven years abroad the King's ship would be caught in a storm on the return home, and it would be almost another year until the Kingdom would find them. Only the King had since passed away and the Youngest Brother, Theobald, was now a cripple. His eldest brother, Prince Elric of the Crownlands, on being made king had thought it amusing to send his brother Prince Theobald far south to the impoverished River Lands and marry him to the daughter / son of the Tribal Seneschal. Sent away for secrets he knows that could jeopardize Elric's reign he is made the River Prince, an embittered aristocrat, left to drown away his sorrows in bureaucracy and local politics. But soon he will learn the crimes of his Kingdom in the face of the River Tribes and will rise up against the face of tyranny.
This is a Modern Supernatural setting where the Gods of myth reincarnate in Cycles bringing about a short time of utopia, before an inevitable conflict with the primordial Darkness. In this world Gods are evolving concepts that reoccur every hundred years in new forms. Their power is not infinite but it is great and they are immune to death by the mundane so only certain beings (other gods and entities) and divine objects can really harm them. The Gods have no memories of their past lives, but all have an intuitive sense of who and what they are. From their name to their role. These are the only things that carry over.
The method of reincarnation is seemingly random as well with which Deified Identity resurfaces. All that is known is that when the Cycle begins they come in 12's, the formation of a Godhead. All religions (save for a handful) have elements of truth to them. So you are as likely to see Anubis as you are Odin. And in a years time from the emergence of the twelfth god a Darkness comes with the rise of the Titans. They are the inverted counterpoint to the Godhead that cannibalize their power from other Mythic beings and even the Gods.
The story would be that we both play gods yours being the 12th and hearkens in the coming darkness... but this cycle is different as a 13th emerges. A rogue element. The rise of the Morningstar, the Seraphim of Light. My character would be the reincarnation of the Rebel. And the Godhead seeking his power tries to pull him into their ranks as they wait for the first Titan to rise and challenge them with their evil hordes.
They call MC "The Lucifer" and his command over light and fire are tremendous, but the truth is he is the first Titan and is dually "The Prometheus" a torchbearer and the inverted symbol of the Rebel. But though he is a powerful Titan he is not evil. In fact by the time that would be revealed our characters would have already formed a connection and made plans.
As members of the Godhead they protect mankind from Supernatural threats and keep the balance. So they would encounter Vampires, Werewolves, Demons, and Spirits. Honestly whatever we are looking for. It would be a dark romantic and supernatural adventure where we can play with magic and mythology.
Gods are also seen as sort of Rockstars / Miracle Workers worshiped and openly praised, and many of the Gods embrace this role of performance because worship makes them stronger. As well I have some ideas for other members of the Godhead. The first two to reincarnate are Pele the Island Goddess of Volcanoes and Horus the Egyptian Skyfather. Though Pele is first born, Horus is the leader of the Godhead and an authoritarian. Your God/Goddess or any of the others are open to figure out.

All that was and has been finds its way here eventually. Just as all that has never been is on an extensive waiting list.
Humans with latent magical potential come here in their dreams to learn and adventure, fewer magi find their way here after adolescents. But all the lessons they have learned will remain with them even if they know not how. Those that do travel here as adults possess an extraordinary strength of will. In the Phantom Assembly they will find all they need, though they may not remember; nevertheless, the library has only THREE RULES:
- Return All Books To Their Proper Areas When Finished or Meet A Hefty Fine.
- Do Not Alter Or Damage The Books or Meet A Hefty Fine.
- You Cannot Take The Books With You or Face Complete Expulsion.
Now though you may not remember, in your dreams you sought knowledge without knowing the rules. In your desperation you absconded with a piece of material from the Phantom Assembly. Targeted by agents of the Assembly your waking hours have been filled with odd abnormalities and misfortune, while your dreams have been dredged in nightmares.
So what is a young magi as yourself to do? Obviously it is time to see the Doctor.
► Doctor Occult is widely considered one of the original superheroes (written before Superman by the same creators). He is a talented sorcerer and magician and is the owner of the House of Secrets. Also his soul has been bound to his partner Rose Psychic, so these gemini lovers though being two separate beings share one body that shifts between the dominate personality.
► This story will include MxF and FxF romances though I am open to MxM or FxM. I seek to play the Doctor against the opposite of an original character.
► This RP would take place in the DC Universe, so while they may not be present in the story your Supermen and Batmen exist in their popular forms in this world.
► The story would revolve around the Doctor and Rose taking a young magi under their wings and showing them the ways of Magic. At the same time training them to face the Assembly and return the knowledge they took.
► Smut is optional but I wouldn't mind it with this scenario.
► While the Phantom Assembly is the Overarching Plot I am open to something long form and having our characters encounter other story options along the way.

Generation X - The Second Class
It has been a long time since the 90's when Jonothan Starsmore, Jubilee, Paige Guthrie, and Monet St. Croix were students at the Massachusetts School. A vital part of a third string group of mutants under the dream of Charles Xavier. Now adults they have rebuilt the Academy after its destruction a decade past. It is a new world where Xavier's dream seems to have found roots with mutants no longer having to hide in fear, the Sentinel Program was given newfound purpose in protecting and policing the public, and mutants are considered full citizens with rights.
A long fight to get to this point the four members of the original Generation X class have taken to leading the next generation at the Cassidy Academy of Higher Learning for the Gifted. Funded by the Frost Foundation and the Xavier Estate, they possess a revolving faculty of former students and X-Men who have excelled since their schooling.
But life isn't all that easy and the next generation is in for a bumpy ride to set the example. They are the test to show that Mutant and Human kind can coexist. This is their story.
► This RP will take place in an AU X-Men world where mutants have achieved full citzenship 5 years ago. It will heavily include Teacher x Teacher, Teacher x Student, and Student x Student pairings depending on the story written within this world.
► Subplot: FxM | Counselor x Student* - A student at the Academy possesses the amazing gift of a healing factor. Unfortunately their mutation did not emerge before they developed cancer. Now their mutation prolongs the cancer and causes their body to resist and reject treatment. While he is not dying soon the activation of his healing factor gradually worsens the tumors. It sucks to be dying but never getting there, and after a suicide attempt the young man has weekly meetings with his new Counselor and Mentor. Can she give the young man hope for the future? Maybe give him something to live for.
► Subplot: FxM | Teacher x Student* - The man known as Wolverine wasn't always the most reliable father figure, as his son Daken could attest. But to those he was there for? Kitty Pryde, Jubilee, and X-23? He was a pure example of a mutant. It has been quite some time since Wolverine has passed away, and the past has come to enlighten his friends. There was another son: James Hudson. A blonde haired boy from the North American Mid-West, with all his fathers senses, instincts, and powers... found roaming the world lost in a feral trance. It is now on Wolverine's protege to show him the way. Depending on the elements of romance if any the subject of incest may occur with X-23. All female characters would be in their mid-30's or early 40's.
► Subplot: FxM, FxF, or MxM | Student x Student* - Meet Aaron / Erin Stack the next incarnation of the cybernetic hero Machine Man. Created at the hands of the Purifiers fusing the robot heroes designs with the remnants of a Sentinel Master Mold. Meant to hunt down the X-Men and exterminate them, the young android was rescued and reprogrammed. Now a student the "Sentinel" as they are designated is trying to find where they fit in. I am open for pairings and genders for Stack, as this story would focus on a Synthetic and Organic romance and the complications they may come from it.
► I am open to story suggestions for this world and will add more scenarios and subplots as I think of them.

Logos: Legend of the Dark Star
Over many thousands of years ago the Gods of the Universe died in a cosmic wave that broke down the walls between dimensions. It was a time of dragons, knights, and magic and in a moment the world people knew collapsed as object they dubbed Dark Star crashed bringing with it Planar Strangers that gifted people the means of inter-spatial travel. Without the gods Magic had become violent and erratic. Wizards and Sorcerers were consumed by black aether from the conjuring of simple spells, while Clerics and Paladins found their calls to the Divine empty and fleeting. Upon the life was dying upon the Planet of Logos, the Planar Strangers, offered the people a chance to live and thrive. They would become the Pioneers of the First World and board Celestial Arks and spread across a Galaxy during the Dimensional Pangenesis.
Worlds and Planes once separate from Logos had begun to occupy and alter the nature of space. From the creeping void of the Nether Worlds at the center of the universe, to the distant Freyed Realms of Esper Wilds on the spirally edges of reality. Within the time that followed the Exodus from Logos the First World the races and species had come to populate the vastness of space. Colonies became the basis of interplanetary Governments and when the dust of the cataclysm settled in three thousands years Magic began to weave again, restructuring, healing, and adapting with the sciences. It was small things at first but now over Five Thousand Years After Cataclysm (5,000 A.C.) it is surging through all corners of space without explanation.
Federations and Empires across the Inner-Space have become concerned with reports and sightings of the Dark Star and the Planar Strangers. Considered a myth and legend at this time an interest in Logos: The First World had been ignited. Especially when news of abduction and eradication followed the path of the strangers and their mysterious agenda. A race to find the Lost World had begun, as the Planets of the Inner-Space prepared repel unwanted visitors from the Outer-Planes.
► I know, I know. It is alot buzz words and jargon to get across the idea of Sword and Sorcery meets Science Fiction. Think classic Dungeons and Dragon archetypes in Space with a healthy dose of Science, Energy Weapons, and Space Ships. But the primary focus is on the Fantasy Element with the Science Fiction as an enhancing backdrop. The overarching world plot need not be the story we tell. Logos is a setting full of limitless possibilities, and if you have deep wells of creativity we can create something amazing. What follows is will be a series of characters and ideas, I am also open to suggestions.
► Elkar XIII: Nightstalker - A genetically engineered Goliath spliced with the dna of an Illithid. Bred and raised from birth with a hundred some pod-mates to track and find and exterminate Mind Flayer Colonies for the Clerical Order of the All-Mother. In the service of "Her Highest Grace" Elkar answers the call of the High Priestess and the Council of Oracles. A Dreadmarch Cleric like his cloned brethren he is of special elite members of the Order given jurisdiction and free reign to travel the Inner-Space in search of his target. He appears as an 8'6" foot giant of a man, skin a pale white marked with ceremonial tattoos and virtually hairless save for brows, lashes, and pubic areas. His eyes are black save for the whites and has four ridges under his chin that sprout into four vestigial chin ridges. Like Mind Flayers he possesses some low-level Psionic Gifts and resistances.
More will come with ideas and conversations, remember Logos is a Setting more than Plot. The world is full of light and dark elements with races and communities with diverse customs. Adaptable to Purely Plot and Smut Roleplays.

_______________________________________________
A tale where by some arrangement of events a YC or MC travel from some far future or planet to a point in Earth's Past. The nature of this characters arrival stirs events forward and entangles them in the natives life. Perhaps they are bitter and caught in conflict? Maybe they are amused and fascinated by one another? Even fearful and skeptical. Whatever the case may be a romance build between them through the trials they endure together. For a potential start a warrior from the future is sent back in time to track down Temporal Criminal that has used time travel technology to alter the past for their own gain. But of course things don't go as planned and the warrior is trapped without a means to communicate with their team.
► A simpler plot dealing with themes of Time Travel and Romance.
► Adaptable for more Plot or Smut focus.

Rise of the River Prince
The Southern Kingdom of Dorhaal had crossed the sea to war in the Northern Lands Kroshan against the Barbarian Kings. The King Osmund IX of Redmont and his Four Sons ravished the Barbarians that threatened their lands and forced them into a truce. After seven years abroad the King's ship would be caught in a storm on the return home, and it would be almost another year until the Kingdom would find them. Only the King had since passed away and the Youngest Brother, Theobald, was now a cripple. His eldest brother, Prince Elric of the Crownlands, on being made king had thought it amusing to send his brother Prince Theobald far south to the impoverished River Lands and marry him to the daughter / son of the Tribal Seneschal. Sent away for secrets he knows that could jeopardize Elric's reign he is made the River Prince, an embittered aristocrat, left to drown away his sorrows in bureaucracy and local politics. But soon he will learn the crimes of his Kingdom in the face of the River Tribes and will rise up against the face of tyranny.
► Another short fantasy plot focusing on a Prince x Princess or Prince x Slave style story. The people of the River Lands are nothing more than glorified servants and slaves. Kept poor strategically by the Crownlands so the Nobles can always have a renewable stock of willing servants. Theobald's marriage is something of a joke in the eyes of nobility as the River Tribes hold no titles in their court. The Seneschal only has power among the people that is granted, and the Prince's presence is meant to undermine that. It is a story of two cultures clashing. Open to MxF and MxM plots whoever plays the child of the Seneschal will take the role of someone strongwilled and defiant. They will not accept the Prince's defeatist attitude and will not let him accept his disability. I would prefer a romance of equals but it can also involve elements of Dom x Sub relationships. Kinks are negotiable
► Adaptable for more Plot or Smut focus.

Rise of the 13th
This is a Modern Supernatural setting where the Gods of myth reincarnate in Cycles bringing about a short time of utopia, before an inevitable conflict with the primordial Darkness. In this world Gods are evolving concepts that reoccur every hundred years in new forms. Their power is not infinite but it is great and they are immune to death by the mundane so only certain beings (other gods and entities) and divine objects can really harm them. The Gods have no memories of their past lives, but all have an intuitive sense of who and what they are. From their name to their role. These are the only things that carry over.
The method of reincarnation is seemingly random as well with which Deified Identity resurfaces. All that is known is that when the Cycle begins they come in 12's, the formation of a Godhead. All religions (save for a handful) have elements of truth to them. So you are as likely to see Anubis as you are Odin. And in a years time from the emergence of the twelfth god a Darkness comes with the rise of the Titans. They are the inverted counterpoint to the Godhead that cannibalize their power from other Mythic beings and even the Gods.
The story would be that we both play gods yours being the 12th and hearkens in the coming darkness... but this cycle is different as a 13th emerges. A rogue element. The rise of the Morningstar, the Seraphim of Light. My character would be the reincarnation of the Rebel. And the Godhead seeking his power tries to pull him into their ranks as they wait for the first Titan to rise and challenge them with their evil hordes.
They call MC "The Lucifer" and his command over light and fire are tremendous, but the truth is he is the first Titan and is dually "The Prometheus" a torchbearer and the inverted symbol of the Rebel. But though he is a powerful Titan he is not evil. In fact by the time that would be revealed our characters would have already formed a connection and made plans.
As members of the Godhead they protect mankind from Supernatural threats and keep the balance. So they would encounter Vampires, Werewolves, Demons, and Spirits. Honestly whatever we are looking for. It would be a dark romantic and supernatural adventure where we can play with magic and mythology.
Gods are also seen as sort of Rockstars / Miracle Workers worshiped and openly praised, and many of the Gods embrace this role of performance because worship makes them stronger. As well I have some ideas for other members of the Godhead. The first two to reincarnate are Pele the Island Goddess of Volcanoes and Horus the Egyptian Skyfather. Though Pele is first born, Horus is the leader of the Godhead and an authoritarian. Your God/Goddess or any of the others are open to figure out.
► For those who might complain about the lack of dedicated Smut Plots, here is something special for you. The smut levels for this world are as high as you wish.
► This is something of a long term plot, but I am also open to different Historical Eras, spin offs to this plot or world, and ultimately playing the idea of reincarnated deities. Plenty of dark romance for those seeking to unleash their fantasies, also open to additional kinks or twists to this plot as well.
► Possible Kinks: Collar, D/s, Fire Play, Corruption, Power Play, Bondage, Spanking, Mythology
► Willing to play Lucifer as any gender, not just male, and in any pairing.
► Most definitely inspired by the Wicked + Divine comics loosely.

There it is spooky folks! A little display what you can expect and what I am looking for. Choose wisely... or well honestly the only downside would be if you didn't choose.
