[1x1][Discord][Fantasy/Romance] Long-term Fantasy Worldbuilding and/or ASOIAF-inspired Romance

Hello. First and foremost, if you use AI then there’s really no point in you reading further here. I want to collaborate with a person, not a bot! Please don’t reach out if you don’t intend to write your own posts.

Anyway. Hi! My name is René, I’m 30, my pronouns are they/them, my timezone is GMT, and I’ve been roleplaying online since I was 11. I also play a lot of TTRPGs and run some of my own games. I love collaborating with others and I really love building worlds with other people. I write in the third person, and I enjoy rich storytelling so ideally I’m looking for people that favour detail in their roleplay posts. 

Right now I’m on a big A Song of Ice and Fire kick. Westeros contains some of my favourite fictional characters and favourite pieces of fantasy worldbuilding. If you’re interested in Westeros, I do actually have quite a few characters I’d love to use if you wanted to do a roleplay in that setting. If not? That’s good too! 

I am looking for someone who:

  • Is close to me in age. I’d rather roleplay with people who are 25+ since I’m 30!
  • Writes in the third person and is capable of literate and/or novella posts. 
  • Enjoys worldbuilding and is capable of creating whole countries and families.
  • Is open to exploring a variety of characters and dynamics.
  • Creates varied characters of different personalities rather than sticking to the same archetype.
  • Genuinely cares about their rp partner’s characters and gets invested in the story.
  • Doesn’t really care about faceclaims. I don’t mind if you want to use them, but I find them very limiting when creating characters myself. 
  • Doesn’t have a history of ghosting people.

 

Essentially I’d like to find someone who wants to build a world with me, and I’d love for us to have numerous characters and plotlines over time. 

Some ideas I’m interested in right now:

  • A political marriage between rival families or rival throne claimants.
  • Prince/Princess or King/Queen x knight or jester. 
  • Rebellious princess being sent to ward in a different kingdom by her exasperated mother. 
  • Scheming courtly politics and intrigue. 
  • Highborn x Lowborn.
  • Knights and tourneys. 
  • Dragonriders.
  • Magic. Bonus points for ancient, wealthy magical dynasties.

 

Hopefully all of this makes sense! Basically I’m just itching for a long-term fantasy roleplay with someone who likes to worldbuild and who would enjoy fleshing out a cast of characters within that world. Equally, I’d be so down for some ASoIaF roleplay! If Westeros is what you’re interested, you neeeed to tell me your favourite characters though. I’m ride or die for Theon Greyjoy, and I’ll say right now that I’ve been an Aegon II Targaryen supporter since day one. 

Westeros roleplay I’d be interested in:

  • Bracken x Blackwood. Obviously. 
  • Targaryen OCs or dragonseeds during the Dance of the Dragons. 
  • Rival knights. It’s a classic for a reason. 
  • Literally anything set during the canon events of the series.

For myself, I’d likely make OCs belonging to/associated with Houses Bolton, Bracken, Cassel, Celtigar, Clegane, Dondarrian, Florent, Greyjoy, Hightower, Lannister, Manderly, Reed, Royce, Strong, or Targaryen. 

I’m open to the possibility of canon characters as well, though it truly depends on who they are and what you’d have in mind. I’d prefer for our OCs to take centre stage but I’m flexible. 

Regarding character gender, I enjoy playing all genders. If you’re someone who only plays one gender, I’m not sure if we’d necessarily be a good fit unless you’re okay with exploring LGBT relationships too! I like MxM, FxF, and MxF equally. So long as the dynamic is interesting, I’m happy. Just please don’t pigeonhole me into playing only one type of character.

This is getting very long so I’ll stop yapping now, but I hope all of this made sense! If you’re interested in anything I’ve said, please send me a DM with your age, name, etc and let me know what it is that you’re interested in exploring.

Is my girl a Russian Blue or a British Shorthair?

My cat is a rescue. The lady who gave her to me said that she is a British Shorthair but she doesn't really look like the pictures to me? Could she be a Russian Blue instead, or something else entirely?

EDIT: Okay it seems she is a domestic shorthair! Thank you everyone for your answers 😊

[Discord][Asynch][Other][LGBTQ+][21+] Save the Light!

Hello aspiring witches! Save the Light is seeking one or two more witches to complete our team of magical experts for the highly important task of saving, preserving, and maintaining the waning magic within the world.

The Game

I am seeking to run a roleplay-heavy, character-driven game inspired by the Pumpkin Spice Quickstart Guide, with some additions in the form of D&D-inspired adventures that will take you beyond the town. So all this to say, I'll be making up a lot! If you are someone who really enjoys concrete rules and a singular rigid, linear system, this won't be the game for you. Pumpkin Spice involves very little dice rolling and the game's book is currently unfinished, so keep that in mind when applying!

This is very much a collaborative story, so please do not apply if you are not somebody that gets invested in other people's characters. There will be no main character here! You are a team, and the game itself is focused around community, relationships, and interpersonal connections.

For the most part, the game will be very cosy and centered on the four of you running a café together while using your magic to help solve problems around the town. However, you will also be called upon to leave the comfort of your little town to venture out into the world and investigate magical imbalances at the request of the World Witch Association. These ventures will be presented as events within the server that you can sign up to, and I may use D&D 5e mechanics for them. Not every player needs to sign up for them, they are entirely optional.

Your Role

Save the Light invites you to create a witch alongside 3-4 other players. Your witches will be called upon by a member of the World Witch Association to relocate to a town and operate a café that resides around a waning Fount of Magic. Each witch has their own Essence of Magic, the options of which are Nature, Empathy, Imagination, and Wisdom.

You and the other players will take turns picking answers from a questionnaire to determine your witch's Essence prior to the game's start.

It will be your witch's job to foster the existence of that Essence in the town and surrounding areas, which in turn will help strengthen the Fount of Magic that you have been tasked with caring for. In addition to running a café at the site of the Fount, you will later have the option to go beyond the town. I will create specific events in the server for these out-of-town adventures, and I will make sure to write them around the Essences of the witches that attend them.

The Setting

You and the other players will decide together on where you would like the game to be set. The world itself is indeed a fantasy setting with no connection to our own world, but the vibes and aesthetic are entirely yours to decide on! You and the other players will get to create the look, feel, and name of the café and the town. After you've done this, I'll build the rest of the world from there.

All that is certain is that magic exists, as do magical races. Although this is not a D&D game, there will be D&D-esque events/oneshots that you are welcome to join, and I will be taking heavy inspiration from that system for the people, spells, and some of the locations that may exist within the world (e.g. Strixhaven University).

For inspiration, look to Fire Emblem, Fields of Mistria, Naruto, Spirited Away, and Rune Factory.

The Group

Currently, the group consists of myself (the GM/Guide) and two others. We are all members of the LGBTQ community, so please do not apply if this will be an issue for you! Equally, we are aged 27, 30, and 31, so we would prefer to play with people close to us in age.

Don't worry about timezones, as this is an asynch game and we all adults with various jobs, hobbies, and responsibilities that exist outside of Discord. We don't need to all be online at the same time unless it's for something in particular, but I'll create events in the server for that. Myself and one other member are GMT, while our third is MST.

Applying

If all of this sounds good to you, please apply via the Google form below! I'll leave it up for 24-48 hours depending on the volume of applicants. This is my first time posting here so I'm not sure how long it will take for me to narrow everyone down, but I'm aiming to contact people on or around Monday.

Just one more thing though! AI will not be welcome in any capacity. AI-generated writing goes against the point of collaborative storytelling, and neither myself nor the other members are comfortable with AI artwork being used to depict characters either.

Here's the form, and thank you for reading!
