So…I have many ideas. Many many many. Basically a historical RP with some romance mixed in???

16+ only please, since I have a tendency to be very dark and include very mature topics in my RPs

Hey! My responses tend to average at about 3 to 5 computer lines, though I will do my best to match my partner's if they provide more than that. As for historical era…oof. Like I have ideas for Ancient times, but also like… 1700's. But also 1800's. And also for the World Wars. So time period is kinda up to you, I'll just pick the prompt lmao

Le bump~

(Same, for some reason I can literally only do male character's, it just comes so much more easily. Should we do bxb? That would be interesting during this time period especially.)

(Also, should both character's be into witchcraft orrr)

(Yeah, BxB works fine!)

(oooooh Idk. I think it would be interesting if maybe one of them was, and then the other character was like the son of the local pastor or something?? So we get just a little bit of enemies-to-lovers? also I call dibs on the pastor's son, if we do that lmao)

(alright! I honestly prefer less detailed templates and then adding to the character in RP, sooooo this'll be interesting)

(Anyways, here's a template:)

Name:
Nicknames:
Age: (maybe between like 18 and 23?)
Gender and Sexuality:
Looks:
Personality:
Backstory:

Other:

(Also: should the magic be like…real magic? Or just…mass hysteria like the actual Salem Witch Trials were?)

Name: James Edward Asher
Nicknames: Jamie
Age: 20
Gender and Sexuality: Male. Probably gay, but he would never admit that, especially not to his father
Looks: Jamie is of about average height, and slim. He is White, and pretty pale, with freckles scattered around his body, especially on his face and arms. He had reddish brown hair that is more of a dark auburn, and shines gold in some lights. His hair is a little long, to about the middle of his neck, and curls just a little bit at the ends. He ties it back in a low ponytail when he needs it out of the way, but otherwise just lets it hang loose, sometimes tucking it behind his ears. He has light grey-blue eyes, that seem a little more blue or a little more grey depending on what he's wearing and what the lighting is. He typically wears breeches and a long sleeve shirt, along with a waistcoat. When he needs to be more formal, he'll add a nice jacket over top, and maybe a tie or cravat as well. He has slim fingers made for playing instruments, and the pinkie of his right hand is slightly crooked where it was once broken. His hands are also flecked with small scars from where he's accidentally cut himself. He walks with a slight limp, since he broke his leg when he was younger while falling out of a tree, and it didn't quite heal properly, leading to one leg being just a little shorter than the other. It isn't visibly noticeable, but it does affect how he walks.
Personality: Jamie is a rather quiet boy, but is intelligent and observant. When he does choose to speak, his words are usually well-thought out and carefully considered. He is especially quiet when around his father, not wanting to get in trouble for saying the wrong things. He has a lot of internalized homophobia, a lot of it directed towards himself, due to the way his father raised him and taught him. He can recite passages of the bible from memory, and even teach a sermon, just from hearing his father do so so often. He can read and write, but his main passion is for music. He can play the violin and piano, and loves to sit and play for hours. He can sing as well, but is far shier about that, not liking to sing in front of people. He doesn't really play in front of others either, but has done so for church services when his father wants him to. He's very gentle, especially with children and animals.
Backstory: Jamie's father is the reverend Edward Asher, and his mother was Mary Asher. His mother was the one who first taught him to play, teaching him as soon as he was old enough to learn. Some of his earliest memories are sitting at the piano in his mother's lap as she taught him to play some of her favorite songs, and he treasures these memories. She died when he was six, giving birth to his younger sister, Elizabeth. His mother died in labor, and his sister died two weeks later, leaving just him and his father. After the death of Mary, reverend Asher began to grow more and more stern with the young boy, hammering bible verses into his head and not allowing Jamie to play on the piano or on his violin anymore. As Jamie grew older, the reverend grew more and more physical, often beating the boy if he couldn't remember a verse that the reverend had wanted him to memorize. As Jamie grew, he found himself daydreaming of strange things that he knew he shouldn't want. Of other boys, and of wanting them in ways that he knew a boy shouldn't want from other boys. He told his father, hoping his father would know what to do, and his father beat him half to death for it, breaking the pinkie of his right hand in the process. After that, everything grew even worse. The reverend's sermons became full of dire warnings against being a sodomite, warning of hellfire and wrath for those who dared to sin in that manner. At home, behind closed doors, he would hit Jamie if he heard even the faintest hint that the boy was having these feelings. So Jamie buried it as deep as he could, trying to be the perfect son, trying to be what his father wanted him to be. He poured himself into his music, hoping that if he could be good enough, his father would be kinder to him. He has grown up like this, burying his sexuality under bible verses and fear, and trying to shield himself from his father's anger.
Family: reverend Edward Asher, father, alive. Mary Asher, mother, dead. Elizabeth Asher, sister, dead.
