Let me preface this now by saying: This will be a MATURE ROLEPLAY as it will tackle issues such as homophobia, self harm, suicide, abuse, sexual assault and other topics along those lines. If any of these trigger you or you are not comfortable with these, please do not join. There will be a lot of angst and also it will be a romance as well, preferably gay (definitely not straight as the prompt is LBGTQ based)

I am also asking for an experience roleplayer or someone who has a good writing style (if I do not know you I will ask for a writing sample when you ask to join).

Prompt:

The year is 2267. Earth has evolved quite a lot but not for the better, even though human's have mad significant space advancements, technology is thriving. Homophobia is at it's peak with people of the LGBTQ+ community being forced into camps to be 'converted.' It's been a problem from quite a while, for generations people of the community have been forced to evolve in more ways then one. Most, if not all of the community have developed some form of power or skill to help them defend themselves. It's theorized that once the person realises their sexuality, the powers begin to form, however it has not been proven and there's no real explanation as to why, yet.

The governments of the world decided that these individuals were to be taken to a correctional facility to remove their powers and 'urges.' These facilities are set up all over the world and are usually kept top secret from the public for good reason. Their methods of conversion are less then ethical and have been subjected to riots from a small portion of the public (which usually doesn't end well for them).

It was prophesied that one person, with the help of another and a rebellion will be the ones to over throw the government and restore order and peace to the world.

Basically in this roleplay, both of our characters are in one of these facilities. They've got wind of a plot to overthrow the government and rescue everyone from the facilities just like the prohecy (a big job, but one that needs to be done). The two decide to escape and join the rebellion and the cause. Luckily, your character is the one in the prophecy and mine is the one that will help them. Oh, and the they fall in love along the way and all that jazz.

So, that's the basis, if anyone is interested I'll post a template.

General rules:

• Please try and post more the one sentence. I know that I do it as well, however, try and keep the plot and the story going. If you can't think of much to write, try character internal dialogue at least.
• Grammar, punctuation, and spelling is appreciated. Obviously occasional slip ups are okay but not constantly, it makes it hard to read and understand.
• Please be understanding of the fact that I am not active that much, I try to and get on where possible and I live in Australia, time zones are hard. I am currently on holidays for two weeks but will be away for three days. When this happens I will notify you but be respectful that I am not as active as I used to be.
• andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s rules, of course.
• If I do not know you or your writing style, I will ask for a sample of writing so be prepared.
• I can reject you if I wish, this isn't anything to do with me hating you, I love everyone on this website but some people's writing style doesn't work well with mine.
• Be kind :) and respectful as well.

Name: Lachlan 'Lachy' Morrison
Age: 17
Gender: male
Sexuality: pansexual - though leans towards males
Powers: The ability to control light and darkness (usually light). Controlling darkness is something that Lachy hasn't mastered yet as it frightens him greatly as anything to do with the dark scares him. Takes a lot of energy to use both aspects of his ability however darkness is more draining, another reason he doesn't use that part. Because of this, usually more open to attack at night as he has no light to control and does not want to use the darkness control he has. Minor healing powers too, however he doesn't use it often and hasn't been able to bar one time.
Appearance: Lachy has golden blonde hair that falls across his face. He tends to flick it back if it bugs him enough. Tends to be parted in the middle or flicked to one side. He has bright green and gold eyes, vampire like pale skin (though he can tan in summer) with a natural blush to his face. Freckles across his cheeks and his entire body. He stands around 5'6, maybe slightly smaller. Not muscular, leaning to the unhealthy side of skinny and is often called malnourished because of it. Hasn't grown into his proportions. Chiseled jawline. Strong in his own right, though. He has many, many scars across his body, the main bulk being on his back and on his arms centered towards his wrists. General clothing outside of the facility tended to be jeans with long sleeved sweaters. He never were t-shirts and refuses to wear them. If he has to, he will wear a jacket, usually denim. Even in hot weather he wears the same but will sometimes wear shorts if he's feeling adventurous. Funnily enough, he usually isn't.
Personality: Lachy is an introverted person. He doesn't like opening up to people as he doesn't want his background used against him. He can come off as shy, though he really is a big softie. He just wants to be loved and cared for and taken care of properly since he never got that when he was a child. He's a very protective person once he likes you even just a little bit and will do anything he can to make sure that you're okay and happy. He's a romantic at heart however is scared of love and relationships themselves. Suffered from anxiety and depression with suicidal tendencies. Has never been on medication for them. Is a huge book nerd and loves getting lost in books and the adventures that they possess. Would rather spend time alone then with other people though if he likes you, he can be a clingy mother fucker. Really is a kind person though will bully you occasionally as his way of showing.
Likes: books, planets, the smell of rain, forests, cats, flower (flower crowns but he won't admit it)
Dislikes: fires, baths or large pools of water, needles, his parents, chains, cigarette, alcohol
Fears: his family, drowning, dying alone and being alone, getting attached to someone and them leaving, small spaces, the dark
Backstory: Lachy was the youngest child in his family, having one older brother, James. He lived with his mother and his father and James and for a while they were a happy family up until he was about five. Both his parents started becoming majorly abusive to both Lachy and James however at the time, James got the front of the force. It didn't stop the fact that Lachy was touched inappropriately by his father and his mother on multiple occasions during this time period. They moved around a lot while he was young as his kindergarten teachers and primary school teachers were getting concerned with the amount of bruises he was showing up to school with. When Lachy was twelve or thirteen he came to the conclusion that he liked boys as well as girls and soon his powers started to develop. They were too strong at first so he couldn't hide them from his insanely homophobic parents and the abuse got worse. James during this time also turned on his younger brother and join in on the many forms of abuse as well. They'd often lock him in dark and small spaces for hours on end, hence his fear of the dark. Lachy developed major depression due to the heavy abuse and started cutting. He managed to keep it a secret from the couple friends he had at school and his parents. That was, until, he tried to commit suicide and failed. The abuse only got worse from there until eventually, his parents sent him to the Facility. He has currently been there for five months and it has done nothing to help his mental health as he is basically abused there as well.
Other: He knows people in the Facility but doesn't really have any friends. The people who are in charge of him make him wear these gloves so he cannot use his powers and he can't take them off without being harmed or someone else takes them off for him. He loves art and is very good at drawing.

Okay soooo, I’m pretty much done with my dude except for his powers. I have a few I’m considering though. But due to my dude’s personality, I feel like any of the ones I’m considering for him would scare Lachy.

Right well okay hear me out, maybe that's a good thing? It gives them time to build their friendship first and build trust between the two of them and so Lachy see's your character isn't going to hurt him before they develop a relationship. Also makes it more of a slow burn, you know? More angst and fun times.

Sounds perfect. I’ll get him finished up then.

Okay.

Name: Aidan
Age: 18
Gender: male
Sexuality: gay
Powers: his power is fire manipulation and resistance. Essentially, as long as there’s air he can use his ability. However, in enclosed spaces he always has to make sure he’s careful for how much fire he uses, or else he runs the risk of draining the room of oxygen and suffocating himself. While he can set his whole body on fire, he limits it mostly to his hands, where he has better control and its easier to fight with. As far as he knows, he has no additional power.
Appearance: he’s 6’3”, and has some pretty impressive biceps. his hair’s ink black and shaved shorter on the sides. Aidan’s eyes are a murky green. His skin tone is naturally olive but tends to be more on the tan side. He has a faded scar jutting out from his hairline that he doesn’t really talk about. Outside of the facility, he typically would wear t-shirts and ripped jeans, nothing too flashy or noticeable, he just looked like a typical edgy kid.
Personality: he’s pretty closed off unless he decides he wants to talk to you. he can be very aggressive if he feels threatened in any way. He has anger management issues that he does his best to control. Anyone who knows him well enough though, knows he’s just an overprotective sensitive guy. He wants everyone to be safe and happy, and if he sees something wrong, he’ll do his best to stop it. But around 90% of people, he’s snippy and rude, or he doesn’t talk at all.
Likes: both cats and dogs (they help him feel less stressed), music, the outdoors in general, singing
Dislikes: people who are too full of themselves
Fears: still has a small fear of the dark that he could never completely get over, along with some other small miscellaneous things.
Backstory: his dad was a deadbeat and an abuser who died in a car accident while drunk driving when Aidan was 12. Since then it’s just been him and his mom, and she’s always sort of been his everything. They got along, and always seemed to be in perfect synch. He was relatively late to figuring out he was gay. When he did figure it out, he did his best to hide and repress it. Repressing his powers ended up having negative effects on his body, and they were hard to control when he was angry, which was frequently. Eventually he snapped on some kids at school, who all ended up being hospitalized due to the burns. He was able to see his mother one last time before he was shipped off to the Facility. What he didn’t expect was her reaction. His gentle, kind mother, screamed at him, telling him that he ruined her life. That was the last thing she ever said to him. He has some internalized homophobia due to that. He’s been at the Facility for 9 months.
Other: he’s actually really good at singing. He fidgets with his hands when he’s nervous. As for power control, he’s forced to wear airtight gloves so he can’t use them. If he uses his powers anywhere else on his body, the staff will simply drain the room he’s in of oxygen. It’s happened before, and he’s not necessarily eager to repeat the experience.

K I think that’s everything. Sorry it took so long

(All good, he's great! Here's a starter)

Another death. Word traveled fast in the Facility, mainly because it was a bunch of teenagers and most of them new how to gossip and spread the word that yet another one of them had died. They were all in the same boat, all going to end up like the girl that had passed. There were rumors that when you reached a certain age and your powers hadn't disappeared they flat out killed you. Not that that had been confirmed yet, however it was a fear that was settled in most of the older kids.

The death meant reallocation of rooms. Well, cells. The people who run the Facility claimed they were rooms, but that was mainly for the public to believe. On the inside it was like a prison. Everyone wore grey, whether it was a t-shirt or a sweater and grey pants. The cells were small with a bunk bed, a tiny bathroom and a small set of drawers for clothes and the little possessions the kids were allowed to bring (if it fit the rules).

It hadn't been long since the last reallocation, maybe two weeks at most. The numbers in this Facility especially were slowly dwindling down. If you were lucky, you didn't have to move rooms, your roommate did and unfortunately, this time, it was Lachlan's turn to move.

He'd been lucky so far, probably because he was one of the newest in the Facility. Even though he'd been there five months, it was still a lot less then most people had been. However, today, he had to pack the little clothes and things he had, before he was sent off to his new room. He just hoped his new roommate was nice… or civil at the worst.

Aidan was doing what he did with most of his ‘free time’ here, staring at the wall and letting time slip by. Every time there was another death, he wondered when they’d kill him too. While most of the people here seemed afraid of that outcome, he wasn’t. Not because he thought he could cheat death, he just didn’t know why he should be living. And now his roommate was moving. Time to have another person try to talk to him 24/7 before realizing he wasn’t interested. He let out a long sigh. He could already tell this was going to be a rough day.

Lachy was escorted to his new room, pushed roughly inside once he arrived. The door was shut after him, not locked so they could walk around freely in the designated areas if they so wished and the guard walked away, heading to his new station. Sighing, he looked towards his new roommate for the short amount of time he'd probably be here. The boy looked familiar, not that he'd had anything to do with him before, but familiar nonetheless. He placed his things on the his new bed.

As soon as he felt Lachy’s eyes move off of him, he shot a quick glance in his direction. He had a similar feeling of familiarness fill him. He tried to figure out why, but no matter how much he thought about it, he didn’t know why that was. ‘Maybe we went to the same school or something.’ His school had been big after all, and he also didn’t pay attention to who everyone was. He quickly looked away before he could be caught staring.

Sighing, he started sorting out the clothes he'd brought, all a variation of the same, boring sweater before he turned to Aidan, "Which draw is yours?" He asked. He could already tell this boy wouldn't be one for conversation, and that was okay, neither was Lachy. His last roommate had been the most extroverted person ever which after a while, became exhausting.
