Character A is a bright young detective, new to the force but eager to solve cases. Despite their lack of experience compared to their superior officers, their investigative and reasoning abilities are unmatched, and it’s easy to tell just by talking to them. But not much goes on in their little town, and there aren’t any real cases. It seems like all there ever is to do is paperwork.

Until one day, they receive a letter. The letter is from a former officer who transferred to another city several months back; he had met them when they hired on, and seemed to enjoy talking to them. He was an older fellow and one of the few superior officers who seemed impressed rather than intimidated. The young detective hadn’t heard from him since his departure— until today, when they pulled a coffee-stained envelope from their mailbox. Inside was a neatly folded piece of paper, scribbled with lightly smudged ink. Even if his name hadn’t been on it, they would’ve recognized his small, shaky handwriting.

Dear Character A
It’s been awhile. I hope you’re doing well. The excitement of that old town isn’t getting to you, is it? I kid.
If you aren’t too busy, I could use your help here. This place isn’t anything like back home, and we’ve been coming across some strange cases. I’m old now, and not as bright as I used to be, but I think even my younger self would have a hard time with some of the happenings going on here lately.
None of this makes any sense to us. But I think if anyone could help us get a better angle on this, it would be you. I spoke to the higher ups, and they have already approved it if you want to transfer. If it’s no trouble to you, I think all of us at the station would really like if you came on down.
Might get dangerous though.
I think that’s the fun part.

Inspector Randall Beller

In essence, you play a young detective, and I’ll be playing a criminal that has been causing problems in a big city. The characters sort of engage in a rivalry and game of wits, lots of clever banter, and we sort of just see where it goes from there. Will the detective bring the criminal to justice, or will innocent people suffer because they couldn’t stop the villain?

The basic rules apply. Keep it PG-13.

I require a writing sample. I will probably be a little picky. If you’re interested just drop a writing sample and I’ll let you know if it’s a good fit. ^-^

Hi! This sounds super interesting and I am more than happy to provide a writing sample! I can dig one up shortly :)

All right! I look forward to seeing it. Take all the time you need. ^-^

(It seems interesting, but no though I love your writing skills.)

Thank you, friend. :)

(Found this from a past short story I wrote a few months ago :))

In the heart of the city's ceaseless rhythm, where the neon lights paint stories on rain-slicked pavement, Lydia found solace in the quiet hum of the bookstore. The shelves whispered secrets of distant worlds, their pages worn from countless eager hands. Lost in a labyrinth of forgotten tales, she stumbled upon a weathered leather-bound volume, its spine gently creased like the lines on an old friend's face. As she traced the title with her fingertips, a voice, soft as the memory of a lullaby, broke through her reverie.
"Ah, the power of a well-worn tome," a voice purred from the shadows, pulling Lydia's gaze to a stranger cloaked in mystery. His eyes held a knowing glint, as if he were privy to a secret only the books dared to share. "They hold the echoes of lives lived, the wisdom of ages past."
Lydia's pulse quickened, her curiosity mingling with a hint of trepidation. "And what's your secret, then? Are you a guardian of these stories?"
He inclined his head with a wry smile, as if he held a universe of answers within. "Merely a humble seeker, drawn to the places where stories converge, and souls, like ours, find a moment's respite." The air seemed to shimmer around him.

You're a great writer! I'd be more than happy to RP with ya. :)

Do you have a temp you'd like to use, or should I make one?

(I'm a just chill somewhere else)

Feel free to stalk

Thanks!! You can make a temp :)

Okay! Here it is.

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Sexuality:
Personality:
Appearance: (detailed description appreciated!)
Backstory: (optional; some people prefer to reveal in RP, as I usually do, but feel free to include as much or as little as you like.)
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Additional:

The main character I will be using currently has a pretty vague description since part of the point of the story is that very little is currently known about them. I included a little more information here than what the police know, but kept it limited since the cryptic nature of the individual is part of the plot. Also, they probably won’t be in my early starting posts if we begin with your character arriving at the station, so I’ll interact with your character through minor guys like Randall Beller (as he explains what’s going on so far and whatnot) until my main one becomes relevant. :)

This is my main character.

Name: Known aliases used include William Masters, James Watts, and the Game Master. True name is Willow (Last name TBD).
Age: 26, but unknown to police.
Gender: Cis-Female. (The police currently believe they are pursuing a male suspect.)
Sexuality: Probably asexual, but she doesn’t act like it. Biromantic.
Personality: Not one to be easily incapsulated with words, Willow is a blend of calculated and chaotic. Highly intelligent, she can figure things out quickly and likes challenges, and she can be very cunning and manipulative. She plans far ahead and loves strategy— but she’s no stranger to making decisions on a whim and doing whatever suits her fancy in the moment. Nothing is more fun to her than finding someone who is an equal match for her wits.
Appearance: (Unknown to police.)
Body— Willow stands at approximately 5’7 with a strong but lean muscular build. She has a small bust, with average width shoulders and hips. Her skin is fair and slightly blemished.
Face— Angular heart-shaped face, with a large Roman nose, grey eyes, thick eyebrows, and somewhat thin lips. She has a slightly androgynous appearance.
Hair— Her hair is ashy brown, wavy, and layered. It’s usually very messy, so she tends to keep it pulled back from her face in a half ponytail. When it hangs down freely, it reaches her to her chest.
Clothes— Depends on the occasion, but she likes to wear a suit and black slacks with converse sneakers. Something about the contrast highlights her personality?
Backstory: TBD in RP
Additional: Willow is currently considered a dangerous criminal charged with illegal possession and distribution of new and highly dangerous drugs and weapons, as well as murder (3 known counts), theft, and arson. The police are not 100% certain of the connections between these crimes, but evidence at the scenes and intel suggests that the same person is behind them. They suspect there are many more. All of these crimes have occurred in the last couple months in the same area.

(Willow seems so cool! I'm excited to learn more about her)

Name: Reyna McAllister

Age: 25

Gender: Cis-Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality: Reyna is known to take charge in situations and especially dislikes when people don't take action. She is witty and clever, which has aided her in her career. She often comes off as "too much" or standoffish, but she is completely oblivious as to the reasons why. Reyna is highly observant of others, but rarely takes the time to care for herself. She is a busy-body through and through and one would rarely find her stationary.

Appearance: Reyna is covered in freckles from head-to-toe. She has long, flowing, red hair (which makes her fairly noticeable). It is wispy and wavy, although it is most always pulled back into a single braid. She is constantly pushing fly-away hairs back behind her ears. She has grey-ish, green-ish eyes which she inherited from her father. Reyna stands approximately 5'9 and is incredibly lean. She runs quite often which gives her toned legs and a lanky physique. Reyna's eyebrows are on the thicker side and her lips are quite full. She has an oval shaped face with high cheek bones.
In case my description was too vague, here is a link: https://pin.it/7HoOd29

Backstory: Reyna lives in the same small town she grew up in. She is the daughter of a school teacher and a cop and has two brothers. Her father was a local legend back in the day, but he was killed by a drunk driver who was never caught. Reyna has followed in her father's footsteps and joined the force. (I will reveal more, as the rp is fleshed out)

Strengths: She is extremely analytical and is dedicated to her job. She is a very fast learner and can figure things out relatively quickly. Reyna is straightforward and tells things like they are, almost to a fault.

Weaknesses: It is very hard for Reyna to admit that she is wrong, which gets her in quite a bit of trouble. She is very headstrong and stubborn. Also, she refuses to give things up, which leads to her being in worrisome situations.

Om goodness, I love her. I'm really excited to see how this goes!!! :>

All right, so should we just begin with Reyna arriving? I can have Randall give her the run down of what's going on and sort of get things rolling from there if you want. Then soon enough we'll be able to have Reyna and Willow interact more directly! :D

Sounds good!!

All right! Would you like to start then?
