Heyyy so I've been on hiatus for a month and I started reading some very great books. There is this one relationship that honestly gives me life. The books I've been reading are part of the Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare. And, if you have read any of them, then you probably know the relationship that is Alec Lightwood and Magnus Bane. I'm craving something that is that wholesome and beautiful. If you haven't read the books, then I can explain anything, if you're interested.
I don't have much of an idea. The only thing I know that I want is an excentric warlock, like Magnus, and anyone else. Thinking about this trainwreck of an idea, it's not very similar to the book, but it's more the vibe of it I guess.

If it's not clear yet, I'd like this to be a MxM roleplay and I'd also like to be the warlock character.

one sec and no i have not read any of the shadowhunters

Kate looked at her reflection one last time before heading out. It really shouldn’t matter whether her bun was centered or not, but for some reason she cared enough to double check. Of course, it was a bit messy, but it seemed to be centered. She made a face in the mirror before heading out, walking down the street to the coffee shop where she was meeting her best friends.

It wasn’t a far walk, besides, something about the walking was soothing to Kate. She could think and daydream a bit as her body made repetitive steps. Thankfully, there weren’t too many others on the sidewalk, but even if there were, Kate’s resting bitch face tended to help her avoid people anyway.

She hummed slightly, getting that stupid butterfly feeling in her stomach that she had been telling herself to ignore for a while now. She had gotten quite good at it, too. Mostly. At any rate, Kate didn’t think that she had anything to be embarrassed about, having worn a cute but not overly nice outfit. She had on her favorite pair of colorful striped jeans, a black tank top, and yellow sneakers. For jewelry, her earrings were her only adornments, besides a simple locket around her neck.

Kate didn’t take too long to get to the cafe, since she walked fairly quickly and was good at avoiding people on the sidewalk. She opened the door, which let out a soft chime, then did a quick scan of the room. No one looked like her friends, so after she got a latte, she sat down at a table and waited, checking the time on her phone. She was early, but only by a couple of minutes, so the others should be there soon. Probably.

At any rate, the latte was good and the light pop music playing was nice, even if Kate was more of an alternative rock type of person. She drank her latte and scrolled through her phone distractedly while she waited for her friends, hoping no strangers would try to approach her (though obviously the likelihood of that was low). Any moment now, they would arrive.

(idk how long of a sample you wanted so here’s this,, if you want one with dialogue i can find one of those too)

That is perfect, you can do less for this of you'd like though! The only thing you need to know really is that warlocks are immortal, but they can still get hurt and die. Like they are basically like regular humans (besides the magic part) except they cand live as long as they don't die. The warlock I mentioned is a little over the top and an overall amazing character lol. Your character can be human or any other humanoid creature.

okay gotcha! i’ll probably just have my character be a human then lol. and tbh my typical rp responses are closer to half that length hahah

lol sounds good. I'll get a template up tomorrow then we can get started.

okie doke! :)

Name: Ben Carter
Nickname(s):
Age: 21
Gender: male
Sexuality: bi
Race: human
Appearance: Ben has light blonde hair that is between wavy and curly, which can get unruly pretty quickly. He has clear, icy blue eyes and pale skin. He has an easy smile and is average height at 5' 8", with a thin and slightly muscular build. He likes to paint his nails different colors, usually black. He has a Grecian nose and thin lips. His eyebrows are thin as well. He has poor eyesight, but he usually elects to wear contacts instead of glasses.
Clothing style: He dresses a bit like an e-boy, with lots of layers, graphic t-shirts, and plaid pants. Ben's favorite shoes are his black Doc Martens. He likes to wear chains (like the necklaces) and beanies. Ben also loves sweatshirts and sweaters, especially oversized ones. In the summer, he usually wears more t-shirts and shorts. Owns a lot of stripes and plaid.
Basic personality description: Ben is a bit of an introvert, preferring time to himself over being with others. He's a bit shy and awkward, but he's pretty comfortable around his family and close friends. He likes to tell jokes and can be quite sarcastic at times. Ben is also impulsive and creative, and sometimes makes really stupid decisions (which everyone else groans when they hear). He's a bit chaotic at times, but just wants to have fun. He secretly really wants people to like him and is kind of insecure.
Talents/hobbies: Drawing, painting, learning new things (especially science stuff), reading, and video games.
Other:

Name: Percival Harondale
Nickname(s): Prefers to go by Val, Percy
Age: 800 years, give or take. Looks 20-ish
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Who knows, just not straight.
Race: Warlock
Appearance: Shoulder-length wavy black hair with dyed tips. The dye can be almost any color, most commonly purple, red, or maroon. His hair is usually half up in a bun. He has lightly tanned skin with freckles covering his face and arms, some freckles scattered around the rest of his body. His skin has a metallic shine and he also has cat-like eyes, these are his warlock marks. He is decently muscular, but not bulky. His nails are often times painted. It varies a lot, sometimes they are multicolored, or glittery, or metallic, or one uniform color.
Clothing style: It's very… out there. Many bright colors and many patterns. A leather jacket over a polka dot button up and gree corduroy pants with converse. Plaid jeans, a band tee, and a cloak-like dark red jacket. He wears a lot of rings and necklaces as well.
Basic personality description: Ehhh… I'm not quite sure, this is a very new character and I'm figuring things out still.
Talents/hobbies: Fencing, dancing, his magic, getting over the fact that he's had many partners and known so many people that aren't immortal (But like, not really lol), there's more just still working on it lol.
Other: When he does magic, purple flames seem to appear around his hands and anything that he does with the magic is coated or shown with the purple flames. All warlocks have a physical feature, called a warlock mark, that shows that they are a warlock (Like cat eyes, crazy colored skin, even tails or antlers.)

(Sorry that took so long. And also sorry if this is a trainwreck. If you're confused about anything you can ask :)

(Sorry this took a lot longer than I had wanted it to.)

Finally. A day where none of the fairy folk needed help, where a werewolf didn't need to be healed, or where Val didn't need to make a portal for someone. This was a rarity since he was the head warlock of Seattle and he was always tasked with almost everything. He decided it would be a great day to go to the coffee shop next to his apartment complex. However, this wasn't out of the normal. It was almost every day that he went to that specific coffee shop, it was so normal that all of the employees knew his favorite drinks and surprised him each day with one of them.

(it's all good!)

Ben finally finished unloading the last of his boxes. He just transferred to a graduate school in the city, and he was ready to get his final years of school behind him. He smiled at the cleanliness of his apartment, knowing that it would not stay that way for long. If Ben was being honest, he was a bit exhausted now after all of the unpacking. He needed a break.

Ben pulled out his phone and googled the nearest coffee shop, finding one only a couple of blocks away. That didn't surprise him, being used to lots of coffee shops. He checked his reflection in the mirror just to make sure that he didn't look like a hot mess, and he nodded, satisfied. His hair was tousled, as usual, but not really in a bad way. His striped sweatshirt looked cool over his white polo, and his black jeans made the look come together. Ben took a deep breath, trying to be the confident guy that this new city warranted. He could be cool. Probably. He put his arms by his sides instead of messing anxiously with his necklace. Time to go.

He walked down the block, hearing a soft chime as he opened the door to the coffee shop. It smelled good, and Ben smiled almost on impulse. Right. Cool. He got in line to get a coffee, studying the menu to decide what he wanted.

Val had just gotten in line and was thinking about what his drink would be today. It was a fun little surprise to brighten each day, no matter what he had to do. There were four people in front of him, five if you included the person that had just finished their order. Different from normal, he wasn't rushing to get somewhere. It was quite nice to enjoy everything in a leisurely manner, Val hoped he could do that more often.

Quite opposite of Ben's "normal" outfit, Val's was quite a bit more "out there". He had on a pair of red, yellow, and black plaid pants, with some gold accents. Those were accompanied by a white button-up shirt, an assortment of gold chains and necklaces, and a black leather jacket. Of course, it wouldn't be Val if he didn't have many golden rings on almost every finger in which nails were painted a matte black.

After longer than he had expected, Val finally reached the counter to order. "Good morning, Cherry! What is it that I'll be having today?" He asked in a calm, but excited voice. She smiled and placed his drink on the counter.

"Today, we decided on [insert some sort of caramel coffee name because I'm bad with names]." The girl answered. He smiled and handed her a few bills, taking the drink afterward. He headed to a seat on a stool facing the window.

Ben watched the guy in front of him order, a bit nervous. He shook it off, or tried to, anyway. It was just coffee. To distract himself, he concentrated on the guy’s strange choice of clothing. It was certainly unique. And bold. Ben liked fashion, but most of his outfits weren’t quite the type that stood out. It was kind of cool. Anyway.

Now it was Ben’s turn to order. He smiled shyly at the barista, who in return gave him a smile. “Um, I’ll have the, uh, vanilla macchiato,” Ben said, managing to not make a fool of himself. That was good. Of course, it’s not like making a fool of himself was a habit of his, but now was not the time to start. “Oh, and uh, my name’s Ben.” The barista gave a confirmation and told him the total, Ben handing her his credit card. Then he stuffed it back into his wallet quickly, not wanting to slow down the line, and waited for his coffee.

It was out pretty quickly, which Ben appreciated. He wasn’t really in a hurry or anything, but it was still nice to not have to wait a long time. He took a hesitant sip of coffee to test it, and, finding it good, took a larger one. Oh, right, he would have to find a place to sit. It wasn’t packed, but there were quite a few people there, and most of the tables were taken. Ben walked over to near where the strangely dressed guy had gone and sat at a stool next to him. Maybe he should introduce himself and get to know a couple of locals. He took another sip of coffee before hesitantly turning to the man next to him.

“Hi, I’m Ben,” he introduced himself. “And, uh, I’m new in town.” He smiled shyly at this guy. So apparently he was acting exactly the same here as he had at his last town. Well, Ben supposed he couldn’t have expected to suddenly become cooler and better at interacting with people.

For a second, Val thought the voice he heard was not talking to him, but he decided to check just to make sure he wouldn't be ignoring someone. Of course, upon turning his head to the direction of the voice, the person had been talking to him. "Oh, hello." He said in an almost sing-song voice. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ben. I'm Val Harondale." He had enunciated Ben's name a bit more than the rest of his words. It hadn't been in disgust or anything of the sort, more of in an interested or curious manner.

"What brings you here?" Val asked before taking a sip of his coffee. He had turned in the stool to face Ben. He was slightly intrigued by the other. There was a slight air of familiarity to him, but he shook that thought, coming up with an excuse for it. Sometimes, old photos of someone looked very similar to someone else totally unrelated to them. So Val settled for that explanation.

Ben breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the stranger hadn’t been ignoring him. He smiled, glad that this guy seemed nice, if a bit odd. “Oh you know, college stuff. I got my bachelor’s degree recently, and I heard that [insert name of college lol] has a really good science program,” he explained, glad to be talking about something he knew a lot about. Or at least a fair amount. “I’m really into science, and so I moved here to study for a few more years. I’m guessing you live in the city, right? Um, how long have you lived here?” He ran played with his chain necklace nervously.

Val listened with a soft smile. Scientists were interesting, in his opinion. He could never be one himself, though. That was too much figuring out how things worked and how to fix things with not enough living on the edge and doing things on a whim. Oh and the fact that he was going against almost every sense of science out there, with being a warlock and all.

Hearing Ben's question, he was pulled out of his thoughts. Val fought the urge to say that he was coming up on two hundred years living there. "You guessed right. I live in an apartment very close to here actually. And I'm pretty sure I've been here for 3 years? I lost track after the first one." He chuckled, his smile growing a bit.

Ben smiled at that. “Really? Do you like it here? I plan on staying at least until I finish my degree, and then after that I don’t know,” he responded, the knot in his stomach easing the longer they talked. It was always like this with Ben when it came to meeting new people. He’d be really anxious at first but gradually become less so as he talked. He did enjoy making new friends.

Ben took another sip of coffee, actually really liking it. It didn’t taste quite the same as the coffee from his last city, but it was still good. He’d definitely come back here sometime.
