About Me:
Heyo! I'm Binks! I'm new to roleplaying, but I have been writing for several years now. Most of the stuff I write involves magic and monsters, but I'm down for trying new things. I'm looking for a roleplay partner that's good with noobs as this is practically uncharted territory for me. I have roleplayed a bit this past year with friends, but I've never done so with strangers. Still, it's good to widen our comfort zones, and I am hoping this will be a fun experience that also helps me grow as a writer.


Schedule
Saturdays and Sunday evenings are my best times for back-to-back roleplaying. That isn't to say that I'll be unavailable during the week, but I'll likely be much slower.

Writing Style
Style: From reading the threads, it looks like many people don't like scriptive roleplay, but I don't mind it. Up to you, really.
Length: I'm pretty flexible about it. So long as you give me something to work with and we're both advancing the plot, I'm all good.
POV: Third Person
Gender: I can do male or female characters, but my main character tends to be female.
Characters: I prefer not to get too wild with the amount of people in the main cast of whatever we come up with, but I'm cool with playing different characters.
For fandom related things:
I'm all for AUs, simply using the world and none of the canon characters, and even changing up the lore. My only thing is with canon characters themselves. I honestly prefer OCs, but if we're going to use canon characters, I'd prefer we not flanderize or woobify them.

Tolerance:
Violence is cool. I don't typically write gore, but I am not opposed to it. As long as it flows with the story, we're all good.

Fandoms (obviously age up any canon characters)
It would be too long to name them all, so I'll just name a few of my favorites.
-DC
  • Young Justice, the multitude of Batman cartoons, Teen Titans, and the Justice League cartoons.
  • Batman/Gotham is what I am most familiar with.
-Marvel
  • Once again, the cartoons color my vision.
  • Specifically, Spider-man, the Hulk, and X-men.
-ATLA (haven't read the comics)
-Harry Potter (minus The Cursed Child)
-Fire Emblem (Awakening, Fates, 3 Houses)
-The 100
-Disney
-Telltale's TWD
-Unordinary
Pairings
OCxOC (just ask first if you want to romance any of my characters)
Canon ships are preferred, but not required.
  • Honestly, anything that is canon-divergent regarding characterization, I'd like to talk about before we implement it.
I don't do romanticized abuse, nor would I pair openly hostile characters.
  • Example. Izaya and Shizuo hate each other and are toxic. Anders and Fenris hate each other and are toxic.
  • I don't like toxic pairings unless the point is to break them up, like Harley and Joker
Settings/Genres
I have a preference for fantasy settings (high or low), but I am open to anything.

Plots
ATLA

"The Doomed Resistance"
Takes place about 30 years after Aang disappeared.
A group of very skilled Freedom Fighters try to liberate territory conquered by the Fire Nation and have aspirations of gathering enough power and resources to ally with the great nations and push back the Fire Nation for good. Unfortunately, the task is easier said than done, especially given they find resistance within their own ranks as the war causes their bitterness to fester.
Original (Closed)
A once noble and proud guardian spirit grows lonely and resentful of their position stranded at the bottom of the ocean and forced to guard a powerful crystal that contains the souls of those who died at sea. After centuries alone, warding off those who would plunder their treasure, the isolation nags at them. They must do something to alleviate this torturous existence.
Options:
  • On the surface, a war wages, and YC wants to use the spirits of the dead to help them fight off the enemy kingdom.
  • YC, for whatever reason you choose, wants the crystal and travels into the temple to get it.
Unordinary
This would use the world and the power system and not the canon main characters. The book Unordinary was still published and banned, heroes emerged, and EMBER (and possibly Spectre) exists, but that's where I would like to leave the canon.

MC is someone who was born in a low-tier, pacifist family that associated peace with quiet. They had accepted their low ability and never once tried to get stronger, and MC watched them accept the abuses of those of higher tiers while they insisted it was for the best. In school, her friends all had the same way of dealing with things, allowing bullies to do whatever they wanted and obeyed in hopes of placating them. MC hated this, always lashing out and fighting even though she was weaker, and training night and day to get stronger. She is a high tier by college when Unordinary is published. After reading the book, her best friend says she wishes there was someone like the hero in the book and jokes that MC should be that hero. When her best friend is killed and law enforcement doesn't even look into it -because who cares about low tiers?- MC becomes the hero she thinks her best friend needed. The kind of hero who will stop the corruption once and for all. The kind who kills.

Additional Notes
I'll be updating this as I think of more plots.
