Hey, I'm back from a long hiatus and kind of wanted to rp again.
I'd most like to do something action-packed, either Sci-fi, fantasy, etc. Romance optional.
If anyone sees this and wants to pick one of our old rps back up, just lmk!

@larcenistarsonist group

Oho hell yeah

I do prefer fantasy over sci fi but I do have a couple ideas???

  • Rogue-ish siblings getting revenge on someone who wronged them/a coup of some sort
  • masquerade, two assassins from enemy Kingdoms sent to kill the same guy oho
  • sorcerer and their apprentice try to fuck shit up and cause problems

These are just quick ideas akhdsj I'm down with anything really

@larcenistarsonist group

Hell yeah! Do you have any sort of idea what kind of dynamic you want? Obviously the first one would be familial/platonic, but the second one could be platonic/romantic/odd sort of in between?

@larcenistarsonist group

!! epic

i think it would be best to use templates to get things set up granted the siblings will already know each other asldkfj

also! why do you think the siblings would be out for revenge? i have a few ideas but we don't have to use them asdklfj

  • a Bad Guy overthrew their parents and seized a throne; the siblings barely made it out alive and are out for revenge
  • the mayor of their village is a Bad Guy who mistreats everyone
  • their other sibling was killed by Bad Guy
  • Bad Guy stole one (or both) of their powers/magic

@Becfromthedead group

I'm down for option one or three. Lots of drama involved in those 👀👀👀
I'd also love to play siblings with a kinda difficult relationship. They've usually had trouble finding common ground, but they've been united by vengeance

@larcenistarsonist group

Ohoho

👀👀 So Bad Guy infiltrated their home, killed their parents and siblings and stole the throne while they just barely got away.

What age are we thinking for the siblings? (I'm thinking 18-28 range?) Do we want them to be twins?

@larcenistarsonist group

Perfect! I think my character is going to be around 24ish, so that'll give you a point to go off of with yours. Since this is fantasy are we thinking a fantasy universe with lots of magic? low magic? monsters at all?

@Becfromthedead group

Maybe low magic? Nothing too op, like simple attack spells, simple healing, alchemy, etc. But yes to monsters and magical dangers. We love extra peril in this house <3
I'm trying to decide on whether to play a younger or older sibling. Any preference there? I'm not really certain which character I'm using yet, or if I need to make a new one.

@larcenistarsonist group

Hell yeah!! I was thinking just along with what you are. Monsters and creatures and only a lil bit of magic to help them along the way <3333

I'm fine with playing either, but I do say I think I would rather play the younger

@larcenistarsonist group

aksldkfj Epic!! I'll play the younger sister! should we make up a quick template? We can figure out their combined backstories together.

We said that we want them to have a difficult relationship,,, how do we want to play that? Different ideas of revenge? Different methods of wanting to enact that? Different moral compasses?

@Becfromthedead group

I'm thinking maybe all of the above, plus a difficult view of their home life? Different reasons for revenge? Maybe the brother is set to get the throne back, but the sister is out to avenge the family?
OR
One of them was kind of the golden child, the other felt like they were inferior?
Or even a combo of the two.

@larcenistarsonist group

ohoho!! like the brother, since he's the oldest, wants only to get the throne back because all their parents did was teach him how to be a good king. the sister, the younger and third in line (maybe? still unsure where we should put the deceased third sibling) wasn't even considered for the throne and all she wants to do is slaughter the people who took her family and home from her?? that could be good

@Becfromthedead group

Ooh yeah. Maybe the third sibling is older than both of them? An older sister, but it was supposed to go to the oldest son?
Anywayyyy, that's a good setup for some drama

@larcenistarsonist group

oooooogh!!! yes and the older sister and the younger sister were particularly close so that's why the younger sister is so out for revenge!! this sounds like a pretty good exposition

@Becfromthedead group

For sure! What all should we include in our character descriptions? We kind of have that backstory and motivation already, so it won't have to be quite as in-depth.

@larcenistarsonist group

hell yeah! I think we could put just a little bit of backstory into their templates, but it doesn't have to be too in-depth. I'll let you figure out what their last name/house name will be and I'll name the older sister?

I'm thinking just something like this? I'll let you fill it out first so I can copy with appearance, yknow?

@Becfromthedead group

Name tbd, but posting this so you can get what you need!

Name: Innes

Gender/Pronouns: Cis man, he/him
Age: 26

Appearance: About 5'11, broad chest and shoulders, but otherwise fairly average build with a good amount of muscle tone. His complexion is quite fair, and he WILL burn in the sun. He has dark brown hair in soft, loose curls, which sits at about chin-length. He sometimes ties it back. Pale green eyes with small streaks of brown. He has pretty significant scars on his arms and torso from the attack on his family. There is a pale spray of freckles across his cheeks.
Typical Clothing: Always in long sleeves to cover the scars on his arms. Dark colors. Usually likes wearing button-ups with looser pants and boots. Has never been one for fancy clothes, though usually he had to dress like that growing up. He wears gold half-rimmed glasses.

Personality: Often comes across as super cold, but he really just has a sense of duty, mixed with bitterness and jealousy. He has been trained to be a leader, and in the process, he feels as if he'd withdrawn from his family, but grown to care deeply about the wellbeing of his people. He's the kind of guy who wants to play hero, wants to protect common people, and doesn't really put his family over others in general. He tends to be very closed-off, harbors a lot of secrets, and doesn't do well with feelings. He's suffered from depression over the years, causing others to see him as lazy, undeserving of his inheritance.
Talents/Skills: War tactics, calligraphy, violin. He's also pretty physically strong from training, and can lift more weight than the average person, and has pretty solid endurance for running or other activity. He learned how to use a sword and spear and ride a horse from pretty young, but he's only good at those, not great. Above average intelligence, some alchemy knowledge, knows at least very basic offensive fire magic and basic healing.
Favored Weapon: Longsword

Brief Backstory: Middle child, always felt like his parents were harder on him than his siblings because of his obligations. They were actively looking for a wife for him for a while, but he was dragging his feet on the topic.
Other??: Gay (but very closeted for political reasons), nearsighted

@larcenistarsonist group

ajslkdfj EPIC I love him,,, ALSO how long ago should we make this attack?

Name: Katya (Uhhhh last name)
Gender/Pronouns: Cis female, she/her
Age: 24 years of age

Appearance: Katya is average height (about 5'6") and is built fairly lithe. She is fairly toned, especially after working out tremendously, but she has the body type where she just cannot gain any sort of mass. She has particularly thin facial features with a spattering of freckles across her pale face and shoulders. Katya has long, dark brown hair that reaches to the small of her back. It has a slight wave in it, due to it's natural texture and her constant braiding of it. Katya's favorite hairstyle is her long bangs braided back into a high ponytail. She has hazel eyes, which can be mistaken for brown and green. Her back and biceps are littered with scars from her escape.
Typical Clothing: She prefers to wear simple clothing, even when she was living in the castle. She wears gray-green tunics beneath dark cloaks with comfortable brown pants with knee-high boots. Carries a quiver full of arrows and a satchel full of assorted herbs and medical supplies. A bow's usually slung over her back and holds at least eight daggers in her belt at all times.

Personality: Katya is a very quiet girl who harbors a very deep anger. She's quick to make enemies and hold grudges, not quite thinking before she makes a leap. When she has a goal, it's damn near impossible to shake her off of it. From the lack of attention she got in her youth, she's also prone to acting out with actions rather than words. Katya is angry, but her heart really is in the right place. She wants what's best for the majority, but that side of her is constantly at war with the side of her that wants to tear down the sky to kill the man who wronged her. She's stubborn, doesn't like following orders, and tends to suffer from intense nightmares.
Talents/Skills: Very quick and quiet. Good at sneaking up on people and identifying plants and animals. Because of her identification skills, she's familiar with some magical, healing herbs, but not nearly enough to bank somebody's life on it. She's much better at her brother when it comes to combat, just because she spent so much more time training while he was away at "King Lessons" in their youth.
Favored Weapon: Longbow and daggers

Brief Backstory: Youngest of three and hardly considered for anything. Spent most of her time in stables or training with a fencing coach. Grew slightly bitter towards her parents and older brother, but never hated them. Her parents figured she was too young to be married off, so she never really had that issue. She was particularly close with their older sister, Rianne, and she yearns to avenge her murder.
Other??: She enjoys hunting in her free time. she collects animal teeth. never really thought about romance, nor does she ever care about it (aro/ace queen).

@Becfromthedead group

Thank you! I love Katya as well!
Maybe it was a year or so ago, unless you're thinking longer than that. It just definitely needs to be long enough for them to a. recover from injuries and b. formulate an actual plan. Plus I think it would be cool to explore the aftermath of the throne being usurped!
