@Icefire aight let's go my friend!

do you have any sort of plot in mind? I've had a Victorian mystery somewhat supernatural vibe type thing brewing in my mind for a little while, but if you're not jamming with that we can definitely think of something else!

:D hello! I have a few vague ideas? because. i always do lmao but uh

Victorian mystery with supernatural elements always sound super fun, and I love historical RPs, but do you mind if I give you some quick blurbs of some of my ideas? That way we can kick them around and figure out something that we both really wanna do! and this is not me trying to politely say no to your idea, because it does sound super cool I promise!

a;lskdjf yeah no worries my friend! hurl your ideas at me at top speed and i will catch them all

cool!

1. Cryptids. but fae. but cryptids. so basically it's kinda like Gravity Falls but more mature?? like the town just always has all this weird shit happening and these weird creatures and whatever the fuck. but the cryptids. are actually fae from like, another dimension/universe?? (one of those "the fae world is magical and hidden away" type things). yeah this one is not very polished. plot?? only idea is vague romance maybe thingy between a fae (humanoid, not like,,, fuckin mothman fae lol) and a human from the town. idk man
2. this one is also super rough but like, starcrossed lovers whose destiny is always to destroy each other, but they're also immortal. so idk if you've read the Caraval series by Stephanie Garber, but the lovers would be like the Fates in that story, where they're believed to be a myth and there are other fates/immortals. these two immortals keep finding each other. there is a card deck (like tarot/oracle cards) based on the immortals, and our two are "The Snake" and "The Martyr" and basically it is Snake's fate to always seek power by any means necessary, and the Martyr's fate is to always "die" while stopping Snake. their final fate is for Martyr to go out in a blaze of glory that finally ends the both of them. the problem is that despite their fate to hate each other, they love each other and they keep finding each other even though they try to stay away so that they don't fulfill their destinies. basically like. Snake lounging on his throne bc he's the tyrant king, and Martyr being brought before him in chains and Snake just going "you just can't stay away from me, can you?" and coming over and like. cupping martyr's chin and getting in close close close and whispering "you're as beautiful/handsome/gorgeous as the first day we met" and Martyr glares at him and just,,, "and you're just as horrifying" and yeah. like. i feel like I'm doing a really bad job with this but do you at least vaguely get what I'm going for??
3. superheroes. I have a superhero family that is totally not just a ripoff Batfam that I would use and then you could have a hero (or three or whatevs since there's 5-6 ppl in this superhero family) and yeah. found family dynamics, romance, fun stuff like that. i actually really love this superhero family and they're a lot of fun. also they're not fandom based, so no worries about needing to know any lore or anything

yeah that's all i got rn lol. also we miiiiight be able to combine 1 or 2 with your idea, depending on how you wanted yours to work? 3 isn't really compatible with Victorian times tho lol

ohoho all of these ideas are so epic you have no idea-

WAIT HOLD ON THOUGHT IDEA-

Snake is a cryptid, Martyr is a human. The martyr has been reborn and is a human living in this old spooky town. They don't remember much from their past, but occasionally they'll dream glimpses of snakes and death. The town they live in is notorious for strange activity. They know better than to wander into the woods, and yet here they are. They're captured and brought to the Snake, where memories come rushing back.

or something like that I dunno a;ldskjf

:D thanks!

oooooooh i. i really like that, man. shiiiiiitttt dfkjgbdjhfbg

yoooooooo should we go for it????? I say we should go for it

yes! let's do it. I'm leaning towards being Snake but like, if you wanna be Snake instead that's fine too

I have a character for Martyr actually!!

perfect!! this is gonna be epicc man I'm so excited

yeahhhhhhh so funkin pumped

I should probably give you a heads up that my motivation on weekends plummets and I try my absolute best to respond within 24 hours with a decent response,,, so uh ,,, yeah

we doin templates or just jumping right in?

fgjdfhbsgk

that's fine! like I said in our PM with Eva, I might not reply much/at all until Saturday

I think I'd prefer temps, because this RP will need plenty of details to make it work

yeah for sure akdhjsks

I could get us up a temp sometime tomorrow because I am very tired at the moment

hdbgu

nice!! btw what I was thinking for the fae world is that it's like,,, kinda your typical fantasy-style world? and then the town is in one similar to our own? but it might be interesting if it was all just fantasy stuff too, idk

ooooooo like it's all a fantasy world and this village is very Victorian/Gothic style and primarily humans maybe? they're protected from the fantasy creatures by like a king and his small army mayhaps???

ooh sure!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa okay here he is! lemme know if you need me to change anything!

Name: William Silvius
Nicknames/other names: Will, The Martyr
Age: 22 in this current form, he's immortal though, constantly being reborn
Gender/pronouns: Male, he/him
Sexuality: Bisexual
-
Species: Magic Wielding Human in this particular life. He's been reborn as many different things.
Appearance: Will is a thin, medium-height man with slightly gangly limbs. Will has glossy black hair that's just long enough to pull into a bun on the top of his head, but it will always fall out eventually. He usually keeps his hair in a small ponytail on the back of his head with a green ribbon. His eyes are wide and a light, forest green that glisten in good lighting. There are heavy bags underneath his eyes due to lack of sleep (because of his nightmares of a past life). He has pale skin that blushes easily, thin lips, and a long and thin nose. He has dark, thin eyebrows that are usually furrowed over his eyes in slight confusion. picrew 1 picew 2
Outfit: Will usually goes barefoot when just walking around his house or visiting the forest, but he'll wear simple black leather books that reach below his knees when he has to go into town. There are dark gray pants tucked into the boots, slightly too short for him. He wears a simple off-white button up rolled up at his sleeves. Occasionally, he'll wear a dark brown cloak with simple green vine embroidery on the collar. His mother made it for him.
-
Powers: Will has the ability to manipulate plant life. Any living thing that isn't classified as an animal or cryptid he can control. He's had this power for as long as he could remember, and he's had the power in lives before. He's learned to hide it from his village though. They don't do too kindly with the magical. Will never knew where this power came from. Both of his parents were as mundane as they come.
Personality: Will is usually quiet and easy-going, but if there's any injustice, he will unhesitatingly stand up for the oppressed. He's gained the title among the people in his village as the one who constantly talks back to the mayor for stupid laws he creates. Will has a backbone of steel and will not back down from any sort of challenge unless absolutely necessary. Will also doesn't take shit. He's nice until he's not. Literally, the second you get on his bad side he'll destroy you with his insanely wide vocabulary. Despite this, he's a kind individual who usually puts others leagues ahead of himself. He will always fight for others, but that doesn't mean he'll allow people to make a door mat out of him.
Backstory: Will was born to a frazzled woman with a frizzy bun who washed clothes until her hands ached for a living. His father was an old and sturdy clockmaker who always loved an evening smoke. The three of them live on the edge of the village, a good half of a mile away from the town. Will grew up as the "odd boy". He was always the one at school with a nose in a book sitting under the willow tree. The people at school quickly learned not to cross him, for the boy's forest green eyes held a startling fire. As Will grew older, his peers just learned to steer clear of him. Will never minded. As humans distanced themselves from him, Will found himself growing closer to the forest and hearing a strange call from within. Eventually, he folded and ventured into the fog. He didn't stray far, quickly returning back to his home. The forest calls him nightly. He manages to resist the forest's siren and heed the mayor's warning: stay out of the woods.
Other: Will's hobbies include: journaling (especially plant life and progress with his mysterious powers), reading, standing in the middle of the forest, making little sculptures out of vines, and helping his father out with clockmaking (even though he absolutely sucks at it).

Name: Kazimir Severin (last name is pronounced sehv-EHR-in)
Nicknames/other names: Kaz; the Snake; His Majesty Lord Emperor
Age: Appears to be about 24, though this form is about a century old at this point. Is immortal and is being reborn after each death
Gender/pronouns: Male, he/him
Sexuality: Pan
-
Species: Currently a Fae
Appearance: Kaz is tall, standing at 6'3" with broad shoulders and a muscular form. He is white, with a light tan and no freckles. His hair is a pure, snowy white, and slightly wavy. It isn't overly long (just long enough to run his hands through when he gets frustrated), or scrape back into the tiniest of low ponytails. His eyes are a frighteningly crimson tone, and his pupils are elongated like a cat's (or a snake's). On both of his forearms are swirling black lines shaped like snakes that have been there since he was born. There is a scar on the left side of his face, going from his jawline up to his cheekbone, stopping just below his eye. There are other scars flecked across his body, from fighting and other things over the years. Has well-defined facial features, with slightly hooded eyes. Occasionally has eyeliner on, specifically for the purpose of drawing even more attention to his eyes. His canines are longer and sharper than a human's. His ears are also pointed at the ends. Also has an old, very faint scar across his throat.
Outfit: Varies, but tends to stick to white button-ups, dark slacks, and some sort of overcoat, typically in red or black with silver accent lining. When fighting, wears a suit of armor. Has been known to strip his shirt off and fight someone right in his own throne room, simply for the dramatics of it (he always wins and the other person always dies). Wears a selection of rings, including his signet ring, and another one that contains poison.
-
Powers: Can shapeshift between his humanoid form and the form of a massive snake, along with more typical Fae magic. His other piece of magic is the ability to cause pain literally just by looking at someone. This doesn't happen every time he looks at someone, of course; it happens when he wants it to, but it is physically costly for him as well. Often, whatever pain he inflicts on someone else is reflected back on him, though weaker. The only time he can inflict pain without feeling any himself is if the pain is one that he himself has felt before, in this form. Then, and only then, can he inflict it on someone else without feeling phantom pain.
Personality: Kaz is very smart, and has a tendency to be cruel and a touch sadistic. He doesn't tend to care for anyone but himself, and will do whatever he can to obtain and keep power and control over others. He is cunning, and very good at planning for the future. Has a vengeful streak, which he uses practically whenever he wishes to. Despite all this, he can be a good and kind person when he wishes to be, and often is to the very, very few people that he cares about. Has experienced a lot of dark and painful things throughout his incarnations, and this has a tendency to be reflected in his words and actions. Very much has the mentality of "the world has not been kind to me, so why should I be kind to it?". Also has a tendency to drink when left alone with his thoughts for too long.
Backstory: (note: backstory is for this form only) Kaz was born to a poorer family in a small town, and was shunned pretty much from birth for the marks on his forearms, which are not normal even among Fae. His eyes are rare, but happen often enough to be excusable. The marks, though, were clearly unnatural. When he was young, the other children in the village would often bully him mercilessly. Even his own parents became abusive, and he was regularly abused. This became especially true as his less normal abilities surfaced, and his parents tried many terrible methods to try and rid their son of the abilities. They hated him, but couldn't get rid of him, though they did try. The scar on his throat is from when his own mother tried to slit his throat in his sleep when he was 8 years old. He survived, but the abuse continued to be awful. He ran away from home at 12 years old, and wandered homeless for a number of years. He originally started out as a low-level crime member, and clawed his way through the ranks to become a leader in the organization. From there, he was able to worm his way into ever more power, through the same cruel, merciless methods. He fought his way to becoming a king, and was king for a number of years. Then his country was attacked, and he was taken as a prisoner of war. He was kept as prisoner for a long time, and didn't see the sun for 15-20 years. He was tortured rather extensively in this time, and when he made his escape slaughtered everyone in the surrounding area. He took back his kingdom, and rapidly expanded to become one of the largest empires in history. He has a wife, though he doesn't care very much for her.
Other:

ohohohohoho i love him so much

I can't wait to see how he and Will interact

what if Kaz's wife gets jealous of Will somehow and she,,, like,,, poisons him and Kaz goes apeshit bc it's his job to kill Will and he isn't ready to do that yet

:D thanks!

me either tbh

ooooh tbh i was thinking something similar! bc she's like "you married me, not this ridiculous human. i don't care if he's your concubine, you can't ignore me for him" and Kaz just fuckin,,, destroys her for touching Will??

they're all sitting at a dinner table and the atmosphere is so tense and will is just slowly eating his food and trying to read one of his books under the table but then something in the soup tastes funny and he coughs but tries to hide it and then he starts coughing some more and he brings a hand to his lips and there's blood on them. then he starts seeing black and he can't breathe as Kaz's wife just watches with a cold expression

oooooh and Kaz just looks from Will to his wife and demands to know what she's done and she's like "you were paying him more attention than me. i don't care what sort of whores you take to bed as concubines, but i am your wife". and he just. loses. his shit. but like. very restrained at first bc he needs to save Will first, but once he's taken Will to a doctor/healer, he just,,, fuckin,,,destroys his wife bc she just tried to kill one of the very, very few people (or only) that he actually cares about and no one is allowed to kill Will but him (or ppl he orders to kill Will)
