From the Ashes

[FireandAsh]

Hi everyone!


About me and my style
I'm Ash, a 22 year old student who has just finished her degree in microbiology. I'm a relatively experienced roleplayer who has been at it for probably over ten years now.

I consider myself to be literate, but I do write quickly and things can be missed. I won't hold it against you if you make a few spelling mistakes or typos if you don't hold it against me. My length varies on a post per post, roleplay per roleplay. On average though I tend to write between 200 and 1500 words, or two+ paragraphs. I don't expect length to be matched as then it becomes forced, however if I consistently give you five or six paragraphs and you only respond with a few lines then my interest will likely wane.

I can run a DM style game, taking control of the side characters, my main and the environment if you prefer, as long as your character does not become a passive character and the replies become stale and dry. I can also do 50/50, where we take equal control of the world and discuss where the roleplay will go and plot out the milestones etc together. The last option is you taking the role of DM and doing the above for me.

As for the eternal question of Dom or Sub, I tend to lean more toward playing sub myself. However, I am happy playing dom if the right plot is available. If I play a male OC they will be more Dom. For a female OC I can be a switch, sub or somewhat of a dom or we can just not have that dynamic in the roleplay.

The balance between plot and smut varies, but I tend to move between 40:60 Plot:smut to 90:10 Plot:smut.

I do both MxF and FxF plots and am always open to either

I only roleplay in third person past tense.

Spoiler: Writing Sample

The huntress leant against the side of the inn, listening in silence as the village voiced their woes to the village elder. The tax has been raised again, and the crops that the village grew were beginning to deplete from the king's demands. Without a good harvest most of the village would not survive the winter. Even now they relied heavily on their huntress for meat, but when winter came, the animals would seek warmth, and even the fresh meat she could provide would dwindle. Fiyeira knew of the kings and the feasts they held for themselves daily, one man eating what would feed the small village she had settled in for two days. There had been a time where things had changed, some still remembered the empress, the kindhearted Taesha, but when she had passed, an ursurper had killed her children, and her lone grandchild had vanished, and Fiyeira did not expect his survival.


Every so often she would find herself ruminating on those days that power changed hands, wondering if she could have done something if she had not been so far, so late in hearing the news. Perhaps she could have changed things. It was too late to linger on such things now. There were more pressing things at hand, she could only hope that the elder would return with good news, news that allowed the village to keep their harvest. What she hoped and what she expected were two very different things. Her golden eyes scanned the room, watching the rather scruffy crowd as they wrung their hands and prayed for a miracle. The inn was the oldest building in the village, build by a single man almost three hundred years previous. It had been grand in its day, and Fiyeira remembered being a guest when it had first opened. Now the walls were crumbling, and there was a stout wooden beam in the centre as an attempt to keep the lopsided ceiling up. Man of the rooms had been destroyed in the last war, and none had the coin to rebuild. The bar was the only room that seemed capable of holding people, although Fiyeira knew that there was a basement below for storage and two dilapidated rooms for travellers.


It did not take long for her to tire of the villager's complaints, she knew that several were sick, that their grain was low. She was a hunter, not a miracle worker. Perhaps she had once been more, but more and more she brushed those thoughts out of her mind. She did not have a guild, the support of a commander, not anymore, even her name was little more than legend, told excitedly by the fire of the inn at night. She wasn't quite sure why the villagers liked the tale of the assassin which won the civil war so much, and they did tend to make it sound more grandiose than it had been, but if it gave them some form of happiness she could not complain. She straightened and made her way through the crowd silently, even the creaking floorboards did not whisper as she passed. The villagers gave her the same looks they always did, a mixture of suspicion and hesitation, of wariness. She was still relatively new to the village, and the events only a few weeks into her residence had not given the villagers any confidence in her, even if she had saved their lives.


"Might I ask where you are going, Faethe?" The village elder stopped his soothing assurances and Fiyeira turned as she reached the door.


"Hunting, if we cannot get the grain from the king, then we can at least have meat to trade for it at the next village." She responded, one hand unlatching the door and letting it swing open.


"Safe hunting, and beware of the fae." The elder nodded. He was perhaps the only man in the village who seemed to trust her, and had once asked if she was a witch. As amusing as the thought had been, she had declined the notion.


The day was young as she stepped out into the bright sunlight. On days like this, the village seemed lively, not downtrodden and steeped in fear of the king and his consequences. Those who were not at the meeting bustled about, caring for animals and tending to the crop fields. Children ran about, fetching things for the adults in between their games. Many were barefoot. Fiyeira's own boots were dusty, but she had little desire to clean them before entering the forest. The brown leather reached her knees, and she had spend good money on making sure that they fit her feet. Her jodhpurs had splashes of mud on the dark material and her cream shirt seemed like it would fit a pirate rather than a hunter.


The house she did not call a home was by the edge of the forest that the village lay before, and the children feared to go past the line of the trees for more than a few minutes, sometimes daring one another to see how far they could stomach. It was known by the village as the Fae forest, with rumours that the fae royalty resided within. They did, but only when they pleased. Any forest was a fae forest, it was simply a matter of seeing if they were present. Others knew it as the No Name forest and others as Many Name forest. Fiyeira had little care as to names. The fae did not bother her, she had struck her bargain with them a long time ago, and they saw no need to tempt her with more.


Her bow and quiver lay on the kitchen table, the bowstring taught and bow supple. She had been using the enchanted weapon for much longer than she could admit to the villagers, and although she could use a regular bow, this one fit her hand like a glove, enchanted to only fire true by her hand. Of course, enchantment had not made her into a master archer, that was a skill she had honed before being gifted the bow. She slung her weapons onto her back and grabbed several daggers, she could never be too careful of wanderers in the forest, even if any assailant would meet their death by her hand.


With her gear ready she left her house, and without looking back at the village, she turned and walked directly into the woods.

The Love of a God​

The Greek gods were real, they were worshipped, and they were forgotten. The gods were overtaken by modern religion and faded into the background. They still survived and made new lives that suited them and over the years they became more distant from each other. Some gods did not survive, simply fading from existence. Persephone was one of those gods, along with her children. Despite the years, the sight of lush greenery still brings Hades into a melancholy of memories. So, now a prolific mob boss in a large city, far away from any countryside. His loyal servants, Cerberus and Charon, still serve him, but his wife, his love is gone.

Hades lends money to a father desperate to save his wife, knowing that the man can never pay him back. When that much becomes clear, Hades decides to collect on his debt. He isn't quite sure what to do to the man, whether to send a message or kill him, but he goes in person. To see what value he can take from the farm the man owns. He finds himself in his melancholy, lost in thoughts of his wife as the car rolls through the countryside, turning to resentment at the man and a malice for dragging Hades back to the greenery he hates.

When he reaches the farm, he finds a beautiful garden, and the man he seeks. He begins his threatening, preparing his violent method to be unleashed on the man. Hades is interrupted by a projectile hitting the side of his face. Yanked out of his threats, Hades is surprised that someone would be so foolish and finds at his feet a now ruined pomegranate. The use of Persephone's fruit against him ignites a rage when he turns to the perpetrator.

Persephone stands before him, a basket of pomegranates in her hand. His Persephone, but not. All at once, Hades knows what he wants. He wants his Persephone back. So he takes his Persephone. She is his payment, the only thing he will accept to forgive the debt. His Persephone will remain with him until Hades considers the debt repaid. Hades will make Persphone remember.

So he whisks her away from her garden and into the harsh grey of the city, determined to keep her close, to make her his again. Of course, this Persephone hates him, and he must choose between force and gentleness. In the end he tries both, and finds her unresponsive, fighting him every step of the way.

Of course, Hades is not the only one who wants Persephone. Other mobs have seen him with this mystery girl, and think they can bring Hades down if they take his girl. The other gods are taking notice too, and decide that if they do not get happiness, then Hades does not deserve it either, leaving Hades desperate for Persephone to remember, to love him again.

The future emperor has never considered how her country was taken and his opinions on how the empire was formed begins to change, but whether he can win her over before she finds the perfect moment to strike is entirely dubious.

Arcana MxF or FxF
Based on the YA series 'The Arcana Chronicles'. After a world destroying catastrophe leaves earth shaken and filled with zombies, unstable weather conditions, and a humankind that quickly shows the worst of itself, a group of young people discover they have powers based on whichever card from a tarot deck that they have been chosen to represent. The Death card has the ability to cause death with a touch, Empress can manipulate plants, The Fool can read minds and so on. They quickly discover that they are involved in an age old game to kill each other to entertain ancient deities. What they do not know, is that the card that wins each battle lives on as an immortal to the next games, and that immortal is still playing the game.


The Wrong Girl
YC has been tasked with kidnapping a very rich girl so that his boss can hold her for ransom. He has a small team with him and they've been hiding out in a farmhouse in the countryside for a while. MC is a normal girl, from a relatively poor family, working her way through university to help pay her family's debts, rent, food bill etc. She happens to go to the same university as the rich girl. YC gets word that the rich girl will be at a house party and decides to grab her on her way home to her sorority. MC just so happens to be walking home from her shift at a diner. In the dim light of midnight, MC and the rich girl look awfully similar and MC is grabbed by accident.

Of course, unconscious in the back of a van, she can hardly tell them that. She awakes in the basement of the farmhouse, tied to a chair or a pipe or something, rats crawling about in the distance and she does the most logical thing. She screams. That brings your character down to shut the bratty rich kid up. She pleads with him that she's not rich, she's not the girl he wants and he turns the light on. Low and behold, not the girl he was told to kidnap. Instead of having a rich girl that would get his boss millions, he has a poor girl whose family likely could not scrounge together a hundred dollars. Even worse, the poor girl is on the news and the rich girl is reported to have gone back to the security of her father's bodyguards. The poor girl knows his face, he can't let her go, so what does he do? Is he cruel? Or does he simply stop her from leaving, getting her to clean the house to keep herself busy. What about the rest of his team? Does he protect her from the worst of them, or does he let them have her?

This plot can go several ways, it can venture into dark themes or remain more light-hearted, whichever appeals more.


The World Torn Asunder
It's all over the news, a meteorite is heading straight for the moon, and it looks like it's going to hit it hard enough to cause sparks. School are teaching kids to make loo roll binoculars and adults are dusting off their old telescopes to see the collision take place. Astronomers aren't concerned, they advise on the times of impact. It all goes wrong when the meteor is both a little bigger than expected, and it hits the moon a couple of degrees out from prediction.


The explosion is catastrophic, knocking the moon off its axis and closer to earth. It becomes clear when the knock-on effect takes out the satellites. What follows on earth is chaos, volcanoes erupt, tsunamis occur and people panic. storms of ash block the view and people are warned to stay inside until the night passes. Then morning comes, the world is not what they once knew, and they must learn to survive but are humans the only things to have survived the chaos?


No characters in mind for this one, I just like the idea of a desolate world


The Pack
She's insane, absolutely insane. Word has gotten out that the alpha of a local, rather prolific pack was murdered by his own beta. she's headstrong, utterly unpredictable, and very dangerous. As per traditions, the beta takes over from the alpha to rule the pack. The council isn't very happy about this, the last thing they want is someone like her losing control and exposing everything to the humans.

So they send in Muse B, a wolf whose mate was killed only a few years ago, to try and bring her under control. He's older and powerful, and she's young and reckless, but even the most reckless have their reasons, and he's about to discover that everything happens for a reason. What he does not understand, despite his utter hatred of the uncontrollable new alpha, is why his soul is beginning to tell him that perhaps the mate that died, was not his mate at all.

For this plot, I'm thinking more of a fantasy setting, with wolves having expanded lives, verging on centuries rather than decades. Each wolf answers to their alpha, but each alpha answers to the council, and the queen. YC would be someone in the queen's court, someone powerful enough to ensure that MC falls into place, despite how she became alpha.


Rise Up
Once, there lived a queen who loved her kingdom very much, and she wanted it back.

Muse A has been on the run since she was a child, the rightful queen of her country now that her parents had been massacred. Of course, the king who had done the deed did not particularly care for her claim to the throne, he only wanted her dead, to quell the whispers of rebellion through his expanded territory. She has been working since she was a child to try and rally people to her cause, but the king's armies are vast, and he has a dark magic that keeps most kingdoms in fear of him, until he begins to move on their territories too.

Muse B can be anyone, a prince, a king, emperor, knight, peasant, but most importantly, they decided to help muse A. They decide that the king has ruled long enough, and the queen must reign again. Both muses are gifted, either in magic or other ability, but they do not have enough resources to amass an army to take down the king. Neither could they predict that the king has been making plans of his own, and executing the queen in front of her people is the top of that list.


I do have a lot of random starters so I'm going to decide if here or somewhere else is best to put them!
