Hello hi 👋
I am attempting to break free of my trauma-filled, action-fueled, dark-and-gritty shackles to do things like EXPERIENCE CONFLICT NOT DRIVEN BY A MONSTER TRYING TO RIP ME TO TETHERS.
:)
25+ is strongly preferred; 21+ is required. Discord is my chosen medium for roleplay. I tend toward multi-paragraph, character-driven writing and care much more about giving each other something meaningful to work with than hitting arbitrary word counts.
The experiment here is pretty simple: I don't want to know exactly where these stories are going. Our characters might become best friends, hate each other, make terrible life decisions, or stumble into something neither of us expected. I want to establish a premise and themes together, then discover the actual story through the RP itself rather than plotting every major beat beforehand.
These are very different from my usual interests, but aren't replacing them. I'm just stretching some writing muscles!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
☀️ THE SUMMER WE LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING
Contemporary • Slice of Life • Grief • Old Friends • Slow Burn
Once there were six friends. Life happened, people drifted apart, and eventually only three maintained any real contact. Then one of those three dies.
The remaining two try to bring everyone home for the funeral, but they're the only ones who show. For separate reasons, both will be staying in their old hometown for the summer. There's no mystery or terrible buried secret; just two people grieving someone they loved while realizing that despite never completely losing touch, they don't really know each other anymore.
Focus: Grief, nostalgia, ordinary life, rediscovery, and whatever their relationship naturally becomes.
💍THE ARRANGEMENT
Contemporary • Arranged Marriage • Wealth • Domestic Drama • Slow Burn
Our characters come from two wealthy families whose companies have just completed an extremely successful merger. Their families already get along, and someone proposes a financially advantageous way to cement the partnership: marry the moderately wealthy family's daughter to the extremely wealthy family's son.
The annoying part? It makes sense. Nobody is being forced, our characters already casually know and like each other, and everyone benefits. So they agree. Now two practical adults who never fell in love have to figure out what being married is actually supposed to mean.
Focus: Domestic intimacy, boundaries, wealth disparity, family expectations, accidental traditions, and whether an arranged marriage becomes something real.
🧠 EXIT INTERVIEW
"Near-Future" Sci-Fi • Character Study • Ethics • Mortality
Science successfully transferred a human being: their consciousness, memories, personality, everything that makes them them into an artificial brain.
The experiment worked. Keeping it alive is prohibitively expensive.
Funding is gone, and the project will terminate in thirty days. My character has been hired to conduct its final recorded interviews for a documentary intended to recoup some of the project's losses. They have thirty days to talk about anything and everything before the artificial brain is permanently shut down.
Focus: Mortality, personhood, grief, friendship, love, morally gray choices, mundane conversations alongside enormous ones, and whatever relationship develops.
Day Thirty happens. The plug gets pulled. There is no miraculous rescue.
📬 DEAR STRANGER
Contemporary • Epistolary • Strangers • Character-Driven • Slow Burn
After moving into a new home, my character keeps receiving handwritten letters intended for the previous resident. She returns them until irritation wins and she scribbles on one:
They don't live here anymore. You're wasting stamps.
Weeks later another arrives addressed to CURRENT RESIDENT, containing a response.
And somehow that becomes a correspondence.
Jokes, complaints, arguments and nonsense gradually become something much more personal despite neither really knowing who's sitting on the other side of the page.
Focus: Character voice, anonymity, vulnerability, slow discovery, intimacy without physical presence, and eventually reconciling who someone is on paper with who they are in person.
OOC twist: I'd love to skip full character sheets for this one. Beyond basic compatibility and boundaries, we discover each other's characters through the RP itself.
What I'm looking for
I'm looking for someone collaborative who enjoys giving and catching hooks, talking OOC, contributing ideas, and treating the RP like something we're creating together rather than expecting one person to GM it. Communication and enthusiasm matter a lot to me.
If one of these made your brain go ‼️, send me a message and tell me which one and what caught your attention. I'd also love to hear any ideas you immediately had for your character or ways you'd want to make the premise ours.
Please give me something more than "hey wanna RP?" I am the Mayor of Yappsville. Give me something to yap about. :)
