Hello! I would just like a very easy-going, fun rp. I have a pair of characters that I would like to use, and I have a bit of a fantasy-leaning plot too. I will elaborate on both of those if anyone wants me to. :)

Hi! I'd love to join if you'd have me.

Of course! Would you like to hear the idea I have in mind?

Throw it at me! Would you like a writing sample from me or anything in the meantime? I'm not quite sure if you remember me because this is a new account.

Nope, I remember you! Welcome back! :)

Anyway, there's these two idiots. One of them is a prisoner facing eternal torment for trying to be evil or something, and the other is the guard that's been stationed there to watch over the prisoner. They've been there for a really long time, and by this point they've almost become friends, though they'd never admit that. They play cards together often to pass the time. Then one day, someone (I'm thinking this would be you?) tries to summon the prisoner to do something (if you'd like, you can come up with this part). But this person accidentally summons both the prisoner and the guard. Shenanigans and mayhem ensue.

And if you have any ideas to add onto or modify this, throw them at me!

Great! And thanks a lot :)

Okay yes, I love it! But how would we go on with that? And would we split the guard and the prisoner between us and kind of have why the prisoner is "imprisoned" established beforehand or would you and I RP it out? And obv I'd probably be more likely to pick up the guard than the prisoner for plot details and I feel like we'd be able to throw in a fourth secondary charrie in there somewhere to even out the playing field if you wanted.

I have those questions but otherwise yeah I like it!

Well, we could have the summoner of the two try to get them to do whatever it was they were summoned for, them not having it in the least bit, and an escape. Then perhaps the summoner goes after them and they decide to try and get the summoner to stop (which would probably involve murder, if I'm being honest here), and have all that play out.
For the guard/prisoner thing, you could take the guard and me the prisoner. And as for the fourth character, we might do the summoner's right-hand man or something similar (maybe they're sympathetic to the pair and help them escape?) For the background, I can drop in some details and we can kind of build it out together?

What do you think? Also, apologies if nothing makes sense, it's been a long day.

I have an idea for how I want the charrie and what I want their thing to be (pretty much them just being completely batshit insane) so the guard and the prisoner basically have to play babysit on them not asking to murder the person they're after? I thought that'd be fun, esp if the prisoner is just as crazy
yeah ofc if you're down with playing a second charrie! I thought it'd be easier that way for the both of us if we had one on each side as well if that makes sense?

And yeah it sounds great! it makes sense to me ^^

Oh, yes, I like it. I'm good with the second character. Do you want some brief character profiles just to get everything sorted out?

Yeah that'd be good with me! Are you gonna give me a template or should I get my own?

I can make a template. It'll be pretty basic, so you can add on whatever else you want to.

Sweet! Sounds good to me ^^

The Prisoner
Name: Oriol
Age: It's been a while, he forgot. His physical appearance looks around 19 or 20, which he dislikes but can do nothing about.
Gender/pronouns: Non-binary, he/him.
Sexuality: Omniromantic, asexual.
Appearance: 5'10". Slightly wavy dark brown hair falling to his waist, usually either in a ponytail or an utter mess. Medium brown skin with warm undertones. Light brown eyes. Usually wearing very worn clothes in neutral colors. He has a black strip of cloth tied around his eyes.
Personality: He's very playful and cocky. He can and will fight you. He absolutely doesn't care what people think about him, and sometimes even revels in people being like, 'what the hell is going on with that guy'.
Likes: Being free, having company, tricking people, getting his way.
Dislikes: Eternal torment, people using him, things that are (in his opinion) unfair.
Talents: He's good at dodging. Just… dodging. All things. Everything. He has a very good memory and very heightened senses.
Favored Weapon: A long stick/staff. Usually, it's made out of metal, but he'll settle for wood.
Magic Possessed: He can sense power and life, as well as the vague placement of things. In this way, he is able to navigate the world as if he can actually see– usually, at least. If he's really tired or hurt he can't really use it.
Brief Background: He's been imprisoned for a very, very long time. He was imprisoned for crimes against the general populous. He might have killed some people. Okay, it was a lot of people. There might have been a war. It's been a while, the details have gotten blurry.
Other: Oriol has been blind since he was born, and managed to get ahold of some magic to allow himself to "see" a little.

The Summoner's Helper
Name: Imena Glass
Age: 28 years.
Gender/pronouns: Female, she/her
Sexuality: Aro.
Appearance: 5'11". Chin-length hair, dyed bubblegum pink. Light, tanned skin. Pale blue eyes. Usually wears some combination of salmon pink and black, always wears something comfortable.
Personality: She's usually very carefree and lighthearted. She minds her own business very aggressively, which is how she's able to be carefree. She can be very loyal, especially if there's a good reason.
Likes: Helping people with their injuries, ignoring problems, roses.
Dislikes: Making important decisions, changing her mind, surprises.
Talents: She's weirdly good at healing (she could probably find a way to cure a fever with a tree branch) and could hold her own in a fight.
Favored Weapon: She doesn't usually like to fight, but if she had to she'd pick a baseball bat or her fists.
Magic Possessed: She doesn't call it magic and honestly doesn't even know she has it, but she has been blessed with healing magic.
Brief Background: TBD
Other: N/A

The Guard

Name: Shuna
Age: While they do take care to pay attention, he lost track around the five-hundred mark and it was downhill from there.
Gender/pronouns: He/they, masc identifying but would probably say nonbinary as well
Sexuality: Aromatic/Ace
Appearance: Shuna's entire appearance is completely grey, despite his personality. His hair is long and covers most of his face, with long strands of hair that curl around his ears. His features are sharp and pointed, with his sharp, hooked nose poking out. His lips are usually neutral but he has quite a nice smile. Underneath his hair his eyes are dark and hooded with no corneas. His clothes are that of a normal guard– some padded clothing and a vest underneath. About 6'3 and muscular.
Personality: Shuna is shy and not very outspoken, but once he mellows out to knowing you, he likes to crack a lot of jokes. He thinks he's trustworthy and he will keep every secret he's told. He himself isn't great with trust, but he breaks down often.
Likes: Peace, butterflies, painting, sleeping.
Dislikes: Spiders, watching people be in pain, being treated like he's underneath others.
Talents: He can do a lot of card tricks.
Favored Weapon: He doesn't really have one, but if he had to choose he'd pick a rapier or spear to keep people away from him. He fights more defensively for sure.
Magic: He is able to make like a sort of force field by choice. He can also make boxes around other people to protect them or trap them in.
Brief Background: Well, what is there to say? From a young age he came from a family of people who served in this position, and he grew into it. Likes his job and is convinced he guards a lot of good people.
Other:

The Summoner

Name: Sean Niosha
Age: 24
Gender/pronouns: Trans Male; he/him (hrt)
Sexuality: Bisexual
Appearance: Dark spiky hair whose tips are frosted a blonde. Prefers to wear brown contacts to hide light grey eyes to make his complexion darker. He has sort of a baby face, with high cheekbones and a small nose, but with a strong jawline. Gangly 6'1, but skinny.
Personality: Sort of all over the place and a "bouncing off the walls" type of guy. His decisions are ecstatic and never clear, however, once he makes a decision that he knows will go well for him, he jumps on it and clings to that. Isn't loyal to anyone but himself and never thinks about the consequences of his actions.
Likes: Playing piano (and other several string instruments), fire gay (tm), the hour of midnight
Dislikes: Being woken up early, being bored (makes him restless), and being surrounded by too many people.
Talents: He can play a lot of instruments and express himself through art fluently.
Favored Weapon: Any weapon. He'd pick one up and feel that rush, nevertheless if he knows how to use it or not. Anything red-hot hits that special spot in his brain.
Brief Background: To be developed through the RP
