@Fraust Here you go!

👋

But yeah, anything in mind? It can be characters you want to use, setting, plot, tropes, anything really

Uhhhh honestly not really sdfhjkl
I'm always down for found family and hurt/comfort?
I made this picrew guy earlier so he might be fun to use idk
Lumi and Nathaniel are really my only two ocs in currently attached to but maybe I'll like this one

Hurt/comfort is my favorite ;-; and found family of course. I have a ton of OCs I can use, including ones from our last rp together

Alright! I haven't even named this guy yet asfhjk
I was thinking Reed/Reid or Finn maybe? Kinda leaning towards Finn
Any vague plot ideas?

I also like Finn!
It's been a hot minute since I've had to come up with RP plot, so I need a minute, unless you have any ideas floating around.

Not really asfgjjlp
I'm down for pretty much whatever tbh ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Okay, so some possible ideas. Just throwing some stuff around. We can combine, edit, or do whatever to these ideas (or use none of them), since they're pretty vague: magical college, working with the mob/mafia/etc (can be magic or not), healer/fighter couple (just one small aspect), magic war of some sort?, a Dnd style group that takes on quests for money, major magical calamity

Oooh ideas
Uhhhhhhhhh
Healer/fighter couple could definitely be interesting, as could dndish style? Magical college is also fun asfhjkl
Do you have any favorites?

We could totally combine at least two of those. Probably healer/fighter, and one of the others (I'm a big sucker for those kinds of pairings lol). Dnd style college could work (like maybe taking quests is part of training/coursework)?

Ooh like they're preparing to be adventurers almost? So depending on their class (healer/fighter etc) they would take different courses (some of which would overlap ofc)
Finn kinda gives me healer/bard vibes? I don't think he's really much of a physical fighter

Yeah! Exactly! And maybe quests are like group projects lmao
I have a little rogue guy who tries their best not to cause problems on purpose? I'm using them in another rp, but I might include them here, idk as the love interest or another side character that just goes to the school

I also have a million other characters, I'd just have to sift around a bit to find who to use.

Little Rogue guy! I love them :0
I've been working with my discord friends to try and determine stuff for Finn afhjkl

I'm trying to think who I could put into like a fighter/barbarian/paladin sort of role but idk :/
I also don't know if I should use any of the people I had in the last rp, and if they would have good chemistry with your characters. Definitely Aesir, my rogue, and I'll probably drop in another character, even if I have to make a new one

Alright! You can use whoever you're most comfortable with aha
Finn is a trans bi (male lean) male, so if you're looking for potential partners that's probably important adfhkk

I dug up this old character (with some pretty significant edits to make him setting-appropriate)

Name/any nicknames: Castor (Cas) Gallea
Age: 19
Species:
Gender/pronouns: cis male, he/him
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: Castor is mostly pretty outgoing and friendly, but very wary of others nonetheless. He's a bit rough around the edges, and pretty prone to trouble, if only because he's always making questionable decisions. However, he is very perceptive and usually is pretty good at judging when to skip town. Castor is a free spirit and perhaps a bit of a loose cannon at times, but ultimately, he's a pretty good guy. He's usually very calm and cool under pressure, but sometimes blood and injuries cause him to freak out- a lot. Especially those involving needles, knives, and other things reminiscent of his days as a lab rat, the victim of a magical cult's experiments.
Appearance: About 5'9, and very heavily muscled, more so toned than bulky, though. He has an olive complexion, hazel eyes, and dark brown hair that curls just a little around his ears.
Background: He was part of experiments that happened about a decade or so back. He in particular was supposed to be a sort of supersoldier, but the experiments were mostly unsuccessful. He experienced some increase in strength, but mostly was just left with wounds and trauma. He had a twin brother who was also part of the experiments, but he has a lot of trouble remembering much about him, aside from his absolutely brutal death. He escaped about five years ago and managed to get to this school. He fears that he may be found again, especially because the perpetrators were never found.
Outfits: He always wears pretty loose clothes. When it comes to armor, he tends to opt for whatever he can move in best. His strategy is more "kill the enemy before they can kill you" and not "your best offense is a good defense." He likes bold, dark colors, so blues, purples, blacks, etc. He doesn't stand out a ton in a crowd, but he has some sense of style. He has a few piercings on each ear, but otherwise doesn't wear any jewelry. Castor usually wears a pair of dark brown boots that have seen better days.
Strengths: Raw, brute strength. That's it. That's all he can do (at least that's what he thinks)
Weaknesses: Impulsiveness, a little destructive on accident, emotionally closed off and inexperienced in forming deep relationships even though he is extroverted by nature
Gear/weapons: Greatsword, also a hand crossbow and a dagger.
Other: Has some degree of PTSD, which mostly manifests in insomnia, nightmares, keeping an emotional distance from others and mistrusting them, and sometimes flashbacks or intense waves of anxiety when exposed to certain triggers (eg: medical stuff, needles, cold metal on bare skin, etc); he also definitely does some kind of drug (edited for fantasy setting? He was originally a smoker, but idk). He swears it takes the edge off, even though he knows it's not good for him.

I like him! I'll make a sheet as well when I've got time ssfghjkl

General

Name: Finn Carmelo
Age: 19
Gender/Pronouns: Transgender male, he/him
Sexuality: Bisexual (male lean)
Personality: Finn is somewhat quiet, but friendly nonetheless. He's introverted, for sure, but he's still always looking for people to spend time with or fun things to do. He's very interested in making memories, so he's generally willing to do things with his friends even if they're a bit stupid. He's definitely smoked weed before, and he's pretty chill when he's high. He also has edibles if those exist in this universe. He puts a decent amount of effort into his studies, although being naturally skilled at subjects does make life quite a bit easier for him and gives him extra time for extracurriculars. Otherwise I'll let him develop a bit since he's new.

Appearance

Height: 5'6
Weight: ~110-115 pounds
Hair Color: Black (natural)
Hair Style/Length: His hair is somewhat long and messy. It's not quite long enough to really be considered "long", but not exactly short either. It's long enough to tie the back into a very small ponytail, but it isn't unsightly when left natural (which he typically does). He does sometimes wear headbands to keep his hair back
Skin: Finn has smooth, slightly tanned skin. His skin is pretty nice now, but there are some faint scars, presumably from acne as a teenager. He has freckles across his whole body, although there are a fair few centralized on his nose and cheeks, and he's prone to dark circles.
Build/Physique: Finn has a pretty slim, soft build. He isn't especially muscular since he isn't exactly a fighter type, but he does retain some a good level of fitness so he isn't exhausted for potential long journeys (and to do parkour). He has had top surgery, and so has scars from that. He is very comfortable with his body at the moment.
Eyes: Finn has dark gray eyes that are almost black. Rather than being a piercing void, his eyes are pretty soft and calming.
Distinguishing Features: Freckles, scarring, ear piercings
Image:

Other

Backstory: Finn has been lucky enough to have a good relationship with supportive parents. He discovered that he was transgender around middle school, and his parents were supportive from the get-go. They were always happy to help him find binders and other things that made him feel more comfortable with himself. However, many of his classmates were less supportive, so he eventually just moved to a different school, where he simply introduced himself as a cisgender male and didn't have any issues. He has always had an interest in magic and his parents were glad to help him get into this magical college. He writes to them often and still seems to have a good relationship with them.
Likes: Music, frogs, mushrooms (aesthetic mostly), doing things with friends, alone time
Dislikes: Loud noises (loud music is usually an exception if he likes it), being picked on, perfectionists, drama/dramatic people (unless it's funny)
Skills: He's very good at magic typically, but isn't always good under pressure, which has caused a fair few backfires (no super serious injuries, thankfully). He's agile, which helps him to do parkour (for fun, but it's a practical enough skill for evasive maneuvers). He's naturally pretty good at his classes and is good at writing assignments.
Fears: He's terrified of heights, and he's very uncomfortable with needles
Other: He has a pet frog named Jellyfish and a cat named Mushroom.

I love him!

Thanks! How should we start it off?

I do not have art of Castor, but here's a picrew:

And idk, maybe they're in class together and they've been assigned a major group project?

Looks good! And that's fine asfgjkl I'm in class rn but if you've got time you're welcome to do a starter lol

Castor sat in the back of the class the day the professor brought up group projects. He didn't notice at first what they had said, he was so spaced out and exhausted from another sleepless night.
He rubbed his eyes and read the board.

"DUE 2 WEEKS FROM TODAY
Groups of 4-6 adventurers, well-balanced for skills
Must use public quest boards and complete quests within allotted time frames for request and for class
Have requester complete certification forms"

Castor looked around. People were already forming groups while he was lost in his own head. Everyone needed a fighter though. Surely someone would take him-

Finn looked around after the teacher announced the project, and to his expectations and dismay, friend groups were already grouping up with each other. He was on decent terms with pretty much everyone in the class, sure, but not close enough for anyone to go out of their way to pick him specifically. He did have one friend in the class, thankfully, who vent over to pair up with him, but they needed at least four people for this project. I'm a healer, so we don't need another one technically. We need a fighter… He looked around, hoping to find a stray fighter who wasn't too obnoxious, and spotted Castor trying not to fall asleep in the back of the class. He looked around. No one else seemed to be seeking Castor out, so he headed over. "Hey, Castor! Want to join our group?" He asked.
