∞ Skye's Magical & Mysterious Requests Thread ∞
Decided to make a new request thread that's a little more developed and thorough in terms of what I'm looking for and enjoy in an RP and RP-partner. I haven't really RP-ed that much, and to be honest I haven't written anything particular in a couple of years. But, I'm slowly getting back into the hang of things, and I do consider myself fairly literate. I do try to be mindful of my spelling and grammar, and I'm always open to constructive criticism and feedback. That being said, I also have some rules of my own. Well, let's just call them very strong guidelines.
§ Guidelines §
- Please do be mindful of your spelling and grammar. I understand that mistakes/typos happen (they do to me too), but if I can't understand half of what you're writing my interest in the RP will probably shrivel up and die sooner rather than later.
- No godmodding. Please be respectful of my characters, and even if I write what they are thinking or feeling, don't automatically make your characters know it -unless, of course, it's clearly shown through my character's action or facial expressions. When I write my characters' thoughts and feelings, it's for your benefit as a reader, to give you a bit more meat on the bones of our RP so to speak. Feel free to include your characters' thoughts, feelings and backstories as well -as a reader I do love getting to know the characters and their motivations.
- I'm not really that fussed about length, I understand that it may vary depending on the pace of and what's happening in the RP. Just don't give me lazy, half-assed replies that give me absolutely nothing to work with and we'll be cool as cucumbers.
- Just a little pet peeve of mine; Please, for the love of my eyes, don't change the colour of your font. It's just super disturbing for me to read it, and makes it difficult for me to kind of stay in the RP if that makes sense. I understand some people find it helpful to distinguish different characters and what not, but to me it's just kind of distracting and hard to read Sorry.
- Don't ghost me. If you lose interest or for some reason are unable to reply to the RP for a certain period of time, that's perfectly fine -just let me know, please. I'm an adult, I can handle it without giving you a hard time, promise.
- I understand that people have other things going on in their lives - as do I - so I don't really expect a reply every day. Just as often as you can, and no less than once a week (unless you've told me beforehand) and we're a-okay.
One thing though, I'm kind of a 'smut-virgin' haha, so don't expect me to first, be any good at it, second, be into a purely smut-rp. To me a good RP is mostly story-driven. Romance is super, and a bit of romantic intimacy, I can handle for sure -but smut for the sake of smut is simply not really my cup of caramel latte, sorry. Same applies to extreme gore and other 'extreme' content. Other than that, pretty open, though!
On to what I do enjoy. I'm a huge mystery-nerd. Give me a good mystery, and I'll probably stay up aaalll night replying to you. Fantasy is also one of the genres I'm very happy to write in. More so modern types at the moment, but more medieval ones are also fine. I also enjoy sprinkling a bit of romance into the stories, as it's always fun with some tension between characters. I usually write as female characters, simply because I'm not very good at embodying male ones. That might change as I get more back into writing, though -stay tuned haha. I'm also up for more of a friendship RP, never really done one of those so that might be fun!
Ω Characters Ω
I've already made some characters, so feel free to shoot me a message if you'd like to do something with one of them. I'm also always up for creating new ones to suit a new RP-idea.

Background: Growing up an only child, Jack always had a special bond with her parents. Which made losing them all the more painful. They were run off the road on their way home from their cabin a particularly stormy night, the person running them off the road was never caught. It had propelled her onto the path to detective (she was, at the time, studying ancient history), and even though the case with her parents is long cold she still looks into it once a year.

She's always loved books and has a degree in English literature. She has a great relationship with her family and sees them as often as she can.

≈ Plot-ideas ≈
I do have some plot-ideas I'd like to try out as well, and if you're interested in doing any of these you would absolutely make my night!
• Crime/Supernatural/Fantasy: Our characters are detectives and partners. They know each other fairly well already, having been partnered up for a couple of years. Suddenly their cases start getting more and more bizarre and they have to get to the bottom of what's actually going on. Is magic real? Do the creatures of myth actually exist? Or are the bizarre crimes happening in the city simply the work of some perverted cult-members?
• Fantasy: My character gets 'sucked' into a popular supernatural TV-show. Your character would be the main character of said show, but to them this is all real. My character thinks they've gone insane at first, but sees no other option than to explore this world when nothing they do seem to snap them out of it. Thus they enlist the help of your character to figure out what the hell is going on.
• Horror/Supernatural: No one knew exactly what happened in Zieglich [name pending] Manor, all they knew was that it couldn't have been good what with the last tenant having gone clinically insane. It is rumoured to be haunted, and our characters somehow find themselves spending the night there with things getting increasingly more creepy as the night progresses.
• Fantasy/Thriller: Not very developed. But a general idea of my character being a quantum physics scientist who suddenly discovers time travel. The government, of course, sees the opportunity to exploit this new technology for their own benefit. My character is worried about the timeline, being that neither time itself nor this new tech is very well understood. The government sends over highly trained agents, your character being one of them, to retrieve both my character and the tech. In the ensuing fight something happens and my character and yours are hurled through time and must work together to get back home.
• Supernatural: My character belongs to a coven of witches which live in secret in the fictional small town of Alloria. As far as the 'normal' people know, she's an apothecary which specialises in natural remedies. Something dark has emerged, though, and soon her fellow witches (and perhaps other magical beings?) are being murdered one by one. Who is behind the killings, and why? And how can it be stopped?
• Romance/Mystery/Fantasy/Supernatural: Starts off as a romance between our characters. One day at a flee market they discover an old book/artefact. Thinking it looks cool, they decide to take it home. Without realising the power within said object, they accidentally release a demon trapped inside. Suddenly they find themselves caught in a world they know nothing about, and must work together to trap the demon once more. Maybe they meet others who know more about the magic world, maybe they have to figure everything out themselves -or maybe one of them is secretly a demon-hunter and tries to get the other to give the artefact to them and in the scuffle they accidentally let the demon out.
• Romance: Not really a plot, but really want to do something romantic and gentle and sweet, with maybe a little mystery or action thrown in.

• Old-timey Mystery/Supernatural: My character is an archaeologist at a site in the (fictional) city of Argo Navis, discovering something ancient and valuable. Soon they are haunted by a very powerful organisation and must fight to stay alive as well as unravel a centuries old conspiracy. Your character can be a fellow archaeologist, bodyguard, journalist or anything else you fancy. Together they must flee around the world to uncover long buried secrets.
• Future Superpowers/Fantasy: Not too developed, just a basic idea; In the future every human has evolved to have some kind of power, be it telekinesis, controlling of certain elements or flight etc. The other animals of the planet are all extinct, or at least thought to be extinct. The world is ruled by an evil war-lord, and our characters unite to fight him and free the world from his evil grasp.
That's all for now, but I'll update this post if anything else pops into mind, or if one of my other muses decide to rear its creative head.
Looking forward to get to know you guys better and hopefully create some awesome storylines together!
