"You don't need another roleplay," my brain says to me. "You have overdue college assignments and you still haven't cleaned your bedro—"
"Shut up," I interrupt. "I just had another idea."
"Oh dear mercy, please no."

I saw a dialogue prompt on Pinterest (the one in the title) and immediately decided that I wanted to do a RP based off of it. I'm thinking, what if we do something post-apocalyptic, but also with like, kingdom/royalty vibes? Like, say, society has collapsed, everything has been in chaos, and a new kingdom led by a tyrannical leader and government has risen up and taken over. Maybe our characters are a rag-tag team of people who have escaped the kingdom, been banished, or have been living in the abandoned wilderness beyond the kingdom's borders for all of their lives— but now they have decided that the reign of this horrible kingdom has to come to an end, and this little group of underdogs believes that they can take it down. Whether they actually can or not is debatable, but I like the idea of a found-family type group of eccentric oddballs coming together to try to take down a kingdom. I think it could be really dark and angsty but also humorous and light all at once, and that's what I'm here for.

We can decide more about the plot if anyone else is interested in this idea. :)

(alright! i got both the list and the sample, so as long as that's fine, here they are)

trigger list:

• talk of drug abuse
• sexual assault/harassment
• pedophilia/necrophilia/fetishes like that (probably not gonna pop up, but i'm keeping this here anyways cuz hhh you never know)
• scenes displaying child abuse (a brief mention for, say, a flashback and all is fine, just nothing too vivid)
• overly detailed gore scenes (regular and light gore scenes are fine)
• detailed bodily fluid scenes (though it's likely not to come up in any forms other than blood, i'm still keeping this here)

edit: my dumb-ass self forgot the sample

sample:

Marx headed toward an alleyway beside the club, opening up his formerly retracted wings. "Ahh… God, does that feel good." He said hushedly once he reached the alleyway. "Mmh… Yeah, god does it hurt to do that sometimes." His four wings flapped a little, a gust of wind accompanying the movement. "Phew. And nobody saw," he spoke, still staying quiet as possible, re-retracting his wings.

Those triggers won't be a problem to avoid! And awesome; thanks for the writing sample.

Do we need to establish anything else before we make our characters?

alright! and yw haha

i think we've got all the necessary bases covered, so we should be good to make our characters.

Excellent. Do you want me to make a template, or would you prefer to?

i'm not really good with making templates, so if you could, that'd be great

also, another question- i have a character premade that i think would fit wonderfully for this, but it's a fandom oc, so i was wondering if me using the oc would be fine by you? if not, then i also have another character who isn't a fandom oc that i can use as well- i just wanted to ask since it just came into my head that i didn't ask earlier

I don't mind if you use a fandom OC, though if I'm not familiar with the fandom there might be some things about them I don't understand. But I honestly don't mind; use whichever character you think would work best.

alright! and, yeah, i suppose that could hinder some knowledge about the character. the character i have prepped is an oc for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. if you're not familiar with that series, that's fine- the character's relation to the series is only through sibling + bloodline relations, so i think i can fit the needed info for that part into the "backstory" and "other" sections of the template. though i'll also try to avoid spoilers as much as possible, too, if that's the case.

Name-
Delilah Higashikata
Age-
20 (born on June 26, 2001)
Gender-
Female
Sexuality-
Biromantic asexual
Personality-
She's overall very optimistic, though she does have a rather short fuse when it comes to making her mad.
Backstory-
The second child of Tomoko Higashikata, she was born just two years after her brother, Josuke Higashikata, finally rid of a serial killer who had been running rampant through their hometown, Morioh, Japan. Her childhood was fairly normal, other than Josuke being rather paranoid after his whole ordeal in 1999, and always keeping an eye on her if she went outside to play or anything. She moved out of her mom's home, alongside Josuke because of his paranoia and all, when she was 18. When Josuke finally got past his paranoia, he took her to a place he had heard about from a friend of his, given that it sounded, in his words, "super regal and elegant and crap". They both live there now, though Josuke is usually in Morioh most of the time. He does visit very often, though.
Appearance-
Build-
Hourglass body type, overall pretty athletic, stands at 5'8
Hair-
Mid-length, slightly dark blue hair (inherited from her mother, Tomoko, who has the same hair color).
Eyes-
Deep hazel, with a tinge of grayish-blue in the center.
Skintone-
Olive, with a few freckles on her nose and cheeks. She has the Joestar birthmark (which looks like this, in case you're not familiar with it) on her left upper shoulder, close to her lower neck.
Clothes-
When she's at home, she wears whatever casual clothes are in her closet. When she goes out, she usually wears a floral blouse, black jeans, and the same pair of flats. And if not that, then she can be seen wearing dresses that also have floral patterns on them (all given to her by Josuke, he knows she loves flowers and stuff), along with, you guessed it, the black flats mentioned twice before.
Gear/Weapons (if any)-
She keeps a pocketknife in her purse at all times.
Other:
She has a Stand, though she doesn't use it much. She only really uses it when Josuke asks to spar with her, and even then, he doesn't do that often.

Awesome! She looks great. I'll have mine up ASAP :D

thanks! and alrighty! :D

well it's taking longer than anticipated but I'm still going to get them up soon
