Your username is a mood.

Okay, so…

1. What kind of plot do we want to do? Do you have any particular RP genres, themes, or tropes you would like to do?
2. How many characters do you want?
3. Are there any particular character dynamics you want to use?

Haha, thanks!

1. What about steampunk? I think that would be pretty cool. I’m tempted to draw inspiration from this book I love called The Fog Diver, where there’s this group of orphaned kids trying to cure their adoptive grandmother’s illness. That book is a beautiful combination of steampunk and post-apocalypse and I want more of that haha
2. Is 2-3 good?
3. I’ve been craving platonic boy-girl relationships lately :p

1. Yes.
2. Yes!
3. And yes.

I've never read The Fog Diver, but steampunk and post-apocalyptic stuff is both EPIC, so if you wanna do a post-apocalyptic, steampunk-ish world, I'm totally down.

I will probably do three characters total: 2 male and 1 female (I almost never do females so this is a miracle in itself). How do we want the characters to be setup? We'll have at least one platonic boy-girl relationship, as requested. Do we want any of the characters to be related to each other? Since we're gonna have 5-6 characters as our cast, there's a lot of room for dynamics. If we want a character or two to be antagonists at the beginning that'd be cool, too.

Ok, I’ll do 2 female and 1 male. Not entirely sure, but maybe 2 or 3 of them could be siblings/cousins, and 1 would be an older character. I was thinking it could be a sort of found family thing, where they start out in different places but they eventually come together.

I think that would be awesome. 2 of the characters are cousins, but the rest are all found family, like you said. They're not blood-relatives, but they might as well be because they look out and care for each other all the same.

Here's an idea of my characters' ages—
Male #1— Probably mid-thirties; 36-37ish
Male #2— Probably around 14 or 15
Female #1— Probably around 19 or 20

Wdyt?

Do we want them to be together as a found-family at the beginning of the RP, or do we want them to be separate at the beginning and have the arc of them becoming a found family?

Alright, I like that. Here’s mine:
Female 1- late twenties, 27-28
Female 2- 14-15
Male 1- 15-16
I kinda want them to be separated in like, the first 3rd or 4th, then the majority is them being a found family.

I love it.

Do we want brief templates? Which characters do we want to be the cousins?

Maybe my 14-15 female and your 19-20 female could be cousins. And yes, templates please.

Sounds great to me.
