Spelt my own name wrong in the thread title... :( There is no hope, run while you can!
Directory of Iristein's Enigmas!

Welcome to the Directory of Iristein's Enigmas! DIE for short. Within this thread, I have made a solid attempt to assemble, analyse, arrange, re-arrange, throw my hands up in defeat and then re-assemble my ideas and thoughts into the shell of some settings and possible plot outlines. I am looking for ANYONE who likes the look of my RP specs and has the urge for creation to take part in some world building. I thrive and strive most for shared settings that contain a bunch of both our creative efforts, something new and familiar for both of us. Though I'm also always game for sharing a stab into the dark of new territory, any chance to expand my writing is a new challenge I won't ignore!

Right now I only do OC but features or aspects from fandoms are welcome if you wish to incorporate them and OC fandom characters are also welcome as long as they are properly adapted to the setting and its atmosphere. On that note, I don't do furry or anthro, sorry not sorry. I'm open to human characters that have animal forms for extended periods of time in the story as long as it's all fly by the site rules and there is no wolfspeak. If you want to try something with an animal shifter, no romance or smut but bromance or 'master x companion' are desirable to me in the right setting.

Smut or Ero is not my goto focus but I am game if you are, my only request is that it be relevant to the story progression and character development. Besides that, I am all for romantic or plutonic pairings and can happily work with either in any setting. There are a few restrictions;

[M]ale, [F]emale, [A]nimal shifter(regardless of gender)
[MxM] - Bromance/Plutonic only
[MxF] - Romance/Plutonic, bromance path available if starting off as plutonic pair with tomboy F ;)
[MxA] - Bromance/Plutonic & Companion based pairings only

My post lengths can be managed to 3 - 5 paragraphs but I prefer to do quite a few more than that, if you are bothered by long posts please make that clear to me so I don't start dropping obnoxious word bombs on you. I can stick to limits when placed, otherwise, I am liable to go crazy at the keyboard. I like to play fast and loose with grammar and the text/characters so I have no issues with the writing styles of others as long as your posts make coherent sense. As long as they make sense, typos and creative use of grammar and characters are happily accepted.

I can post at the very least twice a week, sometimes if work picks up and if I'm split between a few RPs it might only be one post a week. But I will strive for daily or bi-daily posts if and when possible, however, it is worth noting that sometimes I will be sent away for a week or two for my job with only a few days notice. In these cases, if I go somewhere with the internet I can still be active in OOC and PMs but you'll never find me writing a post on my mobile. Regardless, I'll keep you posted on how I am going and if a post is going to take a while or if work is picking up on my end, if you're okay with this then your patience is greatly appreciated.

If you can jive with all of the above, then don't hesitate to approach me about any of the following ideas or ideas of your own that you may think I'll enjoy or could work into a mish-mash with anything below. Just send me a PM or drop a message below if you are interested and I'll get back to you with a PM ASAP.

NOTE: MC = My Character / YC = Your Character

Diedine: Demon's Awakening

[MxF]
Romance // Can be adapted for Plutonics, will require quite a bit of planning though
Intended to be a very Long RP with quite a bit of info to dig into
Themes: Action, Horror/Body Horror, Gore, Supernatural, Angels & Demons, Magic, Romance, Pre-Apoc, Character Development

Premise: -
In a world where Angels rule over and farm humanity from the shadows, two twisted characters and their forbidden love is set to spark the re-awakening of an ancient war that will once again consume the human world. Three sinister forces scheme in the shadows; The Wraith Clans, worshippers of the lingering and tormented ghosts of Demons. The Divine Order, Angels and their devoted human followers. The Gears of Flesh, an anti-supernatural council of wealthy and noble humans who seek to destroy all forms of higher life that could threaten humanities rule.

In millennia past the ancestors of these factions would rage terrible and horrific war against each other, but with the fall of the last Demon through a joint effort of both Angels and Humanity, the Angels hid away to mend their wounds, knowing that continued conflict with humanity could produce new Demons that the wounded Angel forces would not be able to conquer.

Today the Angels are a hidden superpower dealing in espionage and corruption to expand their network of human loyalists as they grow their power and numbers. All the Demons of old are dead, their bodies torn to pieces and their broken souls trapped eternally within torturous magical prisons, now the Wraith Clans worship these dead Demons, using stolen magic to poke and prod their fallen Lords in order to adopt a curse that gives great power and strength at the expense of one's humanity. The Gears of Flesh work and toil in secret, conducting horrific and terrible experiments in order to take the supernatural powers of their foes and craft them into new weapons for humanity.

The secret conflicts of these three forces are about to come to light in a very violent and abrupt way as a Synthetic Angel with a few screws loose focuses her deadly and shattered affections onto a powerless human who's vengeful vendetta constantly pits him against impossible enemies. To her glee even when he is utterly and hopelessly defeated, the rage that burns within him refuses to let him surrender. The embers his rage scream ignite his twisted admirer's curiosity and she begins to aid in feeding his rage by refusing to let him die, ultimately leading to the rebirth of Demons in the human world.

Overview: -
There is quite a bit to this setting, it's something I've been working on here and there when slamming some interesting playlists, this tale kicks off with MC, a near destitute man whose only source of income is found in unsavoury debt collecting and the underground fighting circuit. And YC, a Synthetic Angel made by the Gears of Flesh with the sole purpose of killing her own kind, whose training and torturous upbringing culminate into a curious and psychotic entity that takes what she wants and fears nothing.

MC is trying to hunt down a person from his past who has shown their face once more, believing that he had killed this man nearly a decade prior MC arms himself and prepares to feed his rage. Meanwhile, YC is ordered to hunt down a 'Glorious Angel' who has fallen out of grace with many chapters of the Divine Order. Isolated Angels in hiding are easy targets for the Gears of Flesh, however, as the target is a Glorious Angel he is able to shed into a completely human form, making YC's unique capabilities the obvious choice.

MC engages this figure, which is the same person that YC is hunting, but is completely humiliated by this Glorious Angel which has grown into a mature and powerful Angel over the past decade. YC arrives to watch the engagement, putting the job first she takes the opportunity to watch and let their target reveal some of his capabilities while an enraged MC fights hopelessly howling curses and threats. To both the Glorious and Synthetic Angels surprise, MC launches an unexpected attack landing a blow with a machete that would spell death for any normal person.

YC intervenes before the Glorious Angel can retaliate, who opts to flee instead of fighting this peculiar Angel in Gears of Flesh robes. Instead of pursuing her target, YC decides that she will use MC and her magic to kill the Glorious Angel, believing that something special will happen if she feeds that suicidal rage dwelling within him.

That's where we step in, after fleshing out the overview above with our newly minted characters. Please don't be intimidated by the difference in power initially between the characters, there is intended to be a whole tonne of development for not only both characters but the setting itself based on the characters' actions and choices.

I have a fairly interesting mythos for this setting as well as some ways to characterise different types of Angels, Demons and their worshippers. There is also a rough idea for a magic system including a fairly well-defined power source for us to use for inspiration.

Material: -
Here is a list of some of the types of resources I have available, we don't need to use all of it or even half of it but it gives us some decent foundations to work from. Some of them have some interesting and convoluted systems that I've probably over-designed, so unless requested I'll be providing some simplified and tweaked versions based on what you want out of the story.

  • OC Mythology
  • 3 Partially developed factions
  • Magic System
  • Lore
  • Angel & Demon in-depth info
  • Fairly developed plot lines to draw inspiration from
  • Lots of characters to work with and tweak
  • Lots of possible expanded lore to draw inspiration from
  • Curse & Worship features that can be used to subjugate or unite humans and other entities [Magical Networking:cool:]
  • Ideas for a dark/twisted romance

Interested? -

Although I have quite a lot of material to work with for this setting, it's my hope that reading the above has invoked some inspiration of your own to add and influence what you've read. I've got quite a few ideas and plot paths we can take, some are quite specific but I prefer to use them, if at all, as a skeleton for our own ideas and interests. Remember this is all dynamic, I am happy to change any & everything to make it match our perfect fit for the story.

Spirit Spotters

Any pairing available
Can be short or long depending on how far we want to take it
Themes: Supernatural, Thriller, Slice of Life, Adventure, Modern

Premise: -
Perhaps it was desperation, maybe you believed you were a true psychic or did you just want to return the favour? Whatever the case you have found yourself working for an eccentric and bizarre genius who constantly raves about fighting the forces of darkness hidden inside of glowing balloons? ... Regardless, you quickly discover that there is more to this seemingly unusual penny pincher when you spy a glimpse through his glasses and see a whole other layer to the world.

MC is an eccentric and seemingly unstable genius of the occult, after a series of unfortunate and spookily spiritual events, MC has vowed to destroy the realm of ghosts and has opened his own paranormal investigator and spiritual healing workshop where he talks all the BS he can to earn himself a buck, always waiting for a sign that something truly bizarre is going down.

YC has somehow ended up as his new and only employee, now they're stuck thinking where their life is going as a crazy boss encourages them to help him find gullible people to scam, stay away from shadows(because they're rude) and sometimes flips out in a fit of maniacal rage.

A story begins to unravel when YC is gifted their own pair of Spirit Spotters™ and begins to see a new reason to many of MC's bizarre ticks and behaviours. When they find out what exactly it is through these magical lenses that can send MC into uncontrollable fits of rage shocks YC into refusing to wear the glasses. Now they must adapt to life with a new and profound glimpse at the world that could make anyone go insane.

Overview: -
Spirit Spotters™ is a slice of life built around solving supernatural cases with a peculiar assortment of devices, their creator and MC has started a business that takes on paranormal and spiritual cases, which most typically end up as superstitions or rumours. This doesn't deter MC who weaves convincing layers of bullshit on top of a dazzling performance in order to make his clients believe that he has actually done something worth paying for.

After YC gains their own Spirit Spotters™ and becomes an official Spotter, they are torn between removing the glasses to mute their gaze from the terrible shadows beyond and feeling helpless and vulnerable without the glasses. Now YC must try to adjust into a new day to day life where they are either forced to pretend that the things beyond aren't really there or adapt to this new dimension of life and be seen as an insane eccentric like MC.

The setting is intended to have a lighter tone with lots of chances to aim for some entertaining and fun slice of life posts(with a twist) but also provide a chance for something bizarre to happen at any moment. As a member of Spirit Spotters™(named after his ingenious glasses) you'll be expected to con and lie your way to a profit while remaining ever vigilant for traces of the truly supernatural leaking into our world. Of course, YC could always opt for a less cooperative approach or perhaps even a more heavy-handed way of stealing money from people. Who cares as long as we destroy those annoying shadows!

Interested? -

I don't have any material I'm basing this one of, that said I have a few fun ideas and would love to do some world building and spirit crafting with someone for this project.

HA-HAH! There are no other plots yet! You've been had!
More plots coming soon!
