Basically what the title says, I want to Rp with someone who does more than 2-3 sentence long responses. Anyone interested??
I'm finally ready to start fleshing out my original book amd want to get better at writing in a way that people understand.
(I'm interested)
Hey, I've never Rped with you, can I have a sample?
(Absolutely! I'll just grab one from one of my rp's)

Theo disdained the ocean. Once, he used to revel in its wonders, captivated by the myriad of sights it offered. However, the novelty had worn thin overtime, leaving him disenchanted and bored out of his mind with the deep blue sea. As his kingdom's citizens celebrated his birthday around him, exchanging seashells and pearls from distant seas, Theo remained afloat, indifferent to the festivities. Despite the privileges of being a prince, he found little joy in the title.
The merfolk around him seemed oblivious to the merman in question. In theory, a royal celebration was meant to be a kingdom-wide affair, but Theo sensed the lack of genuine interest. To please his overbearing father, he reluctantly agreed to stay briefly, then skillfully slipped away unnoticed.
With his fins propelling him intensely, heart pounding, and gills rapidly opening and closing, Theo navigated towards the one place he longed to be — land. The surface fascinated him endlessly, providing a sense of vitality that the ocean depths and the palace failed to deliver. For any merfolk, breaching the ocean's surface was strictly forbidden, punishable by imprisonment. Theo, however, enjoyed a peculiar exception; his transgressions led only to stern lectures from his father and a temporary banishment within the palace walls — which had been a form of imprisonment in itself.
Emerging into the soft rays of sunlight, Theo changed pace and direction, swimming upward. Using his webbed fingers, he grasped onto the familiar rock where he would perch, squinting as sunlight met his eyes. It had been a month since his last visit — thanks to what he thought was a clever escape before his brothers inadvertently exposed his secret to his father. Weeks within the palace was ensued, prompting him to take a hiatus from his explorations to avoid suspicion.
Pulling his body onto the wet rock, his tail splashing against it, Theo shifted forward in anticipation. His gaze scanned the horizon, hopeful for the sight of sailboats, swimmers, birds — anything that would break the monotony of his bound existence beneath the waves.
That's great! You can join
Sounds awesome! So what will this be based on?
Do you have any ideas? I'm up for anything tbh
Yes, I think I have a couple of old ideas. I'll list a few.
Two strangers unexpectedly cross paths and must work together to transport a child from point A to point B. Along the way, they could face challenges that test their ability to cooperate and trust one another (could be in any setting really. sci fi/ fantasy was something I imagined for this one)
Two rivals, either academically or at work, are forced to stick together after a massive explosion wipes out most of the people around them, turning the victims into zombie-like violent creatures.
Two friends who are spending Halloween night out end up exploring the woods out of curiosity, but soon stumble into the beautiful yet dangerous world of the fae.
i love the first one but I think we would need a third for it. The second sounds fun, I've not had much experience with Sci-Fi Rps. The third one sounds intriguing! Maybe one of them believes in the Fae while the other doesn't
Oooh yes! I definitely agree on the first one. But as for the other two, I'm very indecisive on which one I like more so I'm good with whatever. But for the third one, that could work!
Honestly cannot decide on which one I like better between the two! I love the idea of playing rivals but I'm a sucker for fantasy and the Fae
Ok, in that case we can always combine them both! Maybe the characters could still be rivals and while they're out on some sort of work/university trip, they both unexpectedly find themselves lost in the woods and later find out that they're both trapped in the world of the fae.
Hey, sounds good! You want a temp?
Awesome! And yes, a template would be nice
alright, let me find one

Name: Eleanor Ajax Valdez (Nell)
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Romantic Orientation: Mostly straight but open to experimenting
Appearance: Eleanor has warm-toned tan skin. She has freckles dotting her upper cheekbones and across her nose. They tend to blend in with her summer skin tone and show up a little better on her winter skin tone. Her eyes have a light brown inner ring with a green outer ring. She thought they were hazel but her doctor said that it was central heterochromia and she's been pretty proud of them since. Nell's hair is a deep brown colour, Her friends joke that she has light black hair. It's curly and reaches just below her hips when wet and roughly mid-back when dried and styled. Nell often pulls her hair up as she doesn't like it getting in her face when she works. She stands at about 5'5", and has a slim, athletic figure (Years of dance as a kid). Refrence Images
Basic Traits: Eleanor is a pretty social girl. She enjoys meeting new people and talking but hates having her boundaries crossed. She likes to set her limits when she meets new people and the more they try to cross them, the less she will humour them. Nell loves to listen to music, often having a pair of headphones or earbuds on her, around her neck, or in her bag. While it may seem like she would hate her name, Nell doesn't have a preference for how she is called so long as it is respectful. With anyone who might cross her boundaries, she will not allow them the opportunity to use her chosen nicknames. Eleanor adores her parents and family is a big part of who she is. Anyone who she trusts and can rely on is family to her.
Background: Nell was born to a Spanish Father and a British Mother. Her parents met when her mother visited Spain with her family on vacation. There she met her father and both chose to stay in touch even after she left, writing back and forth. Nell's mother was offered a chance to go to Spain with her university for a 2-year internship and was accepted immediately. While there, she got closer to Nell's father and began a relationship with him which eventually ended up in their marriage. Nell came along shortly after. While her Father chose her name, Eleanor's mother chose her middle name after her own father. Nell's family stayed in Spain for about 12 years, she grew up surrounded by her paternal family and often had visits to England to meet her maternal family. Her mother wanted her to become a dancer like she was and so Nell chose to take Ballet classes and did Gymnastics as well. Around the age of 12, her family moved from Spain for her parents' work. Nell found it a little difficult to adjust, having been surrounded by people her whole life, she went into a depression. The longer she spent in the new place, the more comfortable she became. It was certainly helpful when she made some really great friends.
Weapons: After taking gymnastics as a child, Nell took varying martial arts classes. She is skilled with staff based martial arts.
(Extra)
Likes: dancing, studying, reading, horses, cats
Dislikes: spiders, being cold, jello, Being anything less than satisfactory
Favourite Colour: Dark green and dark grey
Usual Fashion: Nell doesn't really have a set style. She usually dresses up in Dark Academia but her overall aesthetic can be soft dark. As an example, her current favourite outfit is a pair of grey/black plaid trousers with black leather suspenders hooked in the belt loops, a black low-neck shirt with butterfly sleeves, silver rings, a metal watch with straps shaped like dolphins, a few varied earrings, ankle boots with colourful socks. She enjoys carrying courses and bags so she often has an accessory of this kind.
Distinguishing Marks: Various tattoos all over her body. Her favourites are a Fairy ring on her thigh, a pomegrante on her shoulder, a dragon on her left forearm and a special date on her neck.
I love Ezekiel!
Thank you!! Nell also seems like a really cool character
Thanks! What would our characters be studying? I'm ready to start whenever you are!
I think something environmental or science related that'll give them some reason as to why they're in the woods in the first place. Like my character would be an ecology major with a minor in biology. And I'm also ready to start! I'll go ahead and put my starter up either tonight or sometime tomorrow if you want me to start.
I think I'll have my character be a biology major with a minor in like toxicology. I can probably post a starter tonight or tomorrow, I'm watching a C-Drama right now lol.
I'm thinking they start either in the forest or in the classroom, what about you?
Yeah a classroom would work and omg which C-Drama?
(Unforgettable Love, I saw clips of it and loved the story! Plus, I had been wanting a new C/K-Drama to watch)
Studying for exams during a warm afternoon was a common thing for students at the university to be doing. Especially when mid-terms were in a few weeks and many of the tourist attraction had shut down for the fall. Eleanor, as usual, was one such student. Currently she was pulling on her jacket, eager to leave her apartment early to make it to her favourite spot on campus. She had a class later in the day but according to the email open on her phone, it would be more of a self-study research project for their final paper. Eleanor picked up her charger and tossed it in her bag with her laptop, notebooks, field-notes book, and her pencil case. Her phone buzzed and she glanced down to see a message from her friend telling her she was leaving.
Nell took a sip of her coffee and finished the sketch in her notebook. The plant was looking decent and she had labelled it to the best of her ability. There wasn't much time or she would have added more details but it wasn't as if it was that important. As she packed up her things and left, she waved good bye to her friend then took the elevator to the floor her class was in. She took her seat and pulled out her laptop, playing a game as she waited for her professor to come in and explain exactly what it was they would be doing.
(Omg! I wanted to get into that one. I saw it on my Viki app but never had the chance to actually sit and watch)
No matter how many times Ezekiel tried, he couldn't quite get the exact probability value he was aiming for. Lysing strawberry cells turned out to be much more challenging than he'd anticipated, though he was careful not to let that show. To everyone else, he probably seemed like someone meticulously cautious with his lab work, but in truth, he often struggled with these tasks—something he wouldn't readily admit, especially as the salutatorian. To everyone around him, he had to appear flawless.
Thankfully, he’d managed to figure something out just before it was time to head to his next class. Ezekiel rarely spoke to anyone besides his professor, and he'd often wondered if she was getting tired of him constantly pestering her about assignments, tests, and every other scientific question that kept her from clocking out on time. Today, though, he hadn’t held her up for long.
His next class was one he’d once been excited for, but now it had become another major source of stress. He wasn’t sure what to focus on for his final paper. A self-study seemed straightforward, but there were only so many ways he could impress his professor—enough to at least stay one step ahead of her.
Ezekiel strolled into the classroom, catching a quick glimpse of the woman’s computer screen and scoffing when he saw the game she was playing.
“Is that really what you do all day?” he asked, smiling, though the warmth didn’t quite reach his eyes. "So that's what you do to keep yourself 'sharp' during school hours. I guess some of us don't need to try as hard."
(Honestly, you should! I started it yesterday and I'm a third of the way through!)
Focus was a big thing. If she even lost focus for a second, it all could come to an end. She needed to win, had to be first. Not only to prove her dad wrong but to also have the satisfaction of coming out on top of something as highly challenging and fast-paced as this. Fingers flying across her computer as she pressed on a combination of keys. Nell heard a voice behind her but she chose to delay a response.
With one final click, victory music sounded from the speakers and Nell relaxed in her seat. Immediately she received a bombardment of texts from her dad, ranging from faux anger to sadness. Responding would only add fuel to the flame so she chose to ignore him for now, a grin on her face at finally, finally, defeating her father's months-long winning streak.
Nell turned in her chair, simultaneously pressing the mute key, to look at Ezekiel. "Awe Zeze, are you upset that even after walking around as though you suffer from Baculum Rectal Uppititis, your efforts are only a drop in the bucket compared to the results of my lounge-like attitude?" She gave him a catty smile and turned to log out of the game. Quickly opening up a new page in her note-taking app, she turned back around to give him a once-over.
Though Ezekiel tried his best to look his best ahead of others, Nell's attention to detail picked up on signs of frustration. She pursed her lips and then sighed. "Of course, I play games during school hours. Even high school psychology teaches students the importance of taking breaks. How can I learn new things when I force my brain to constantly remember everything I've ever learnt?"
The classroom had begun to get more full and Nell checked the time. Sitting near the right-side window at the front of the class not only meant she got access to one of the few outlets in the class, but it also meant she was right by the clock. Right as her eyes landed on it, it chimed, alerting the students that their professor would be arriving shortly.
Ezekiel’s jaw clenched at the sound of her voice—sweet and condescending, like nails on a chalkboard. "Zeze." No one else called him that, and she knew how much it grated on him. As Nell spun her smug little speech, he could feel the familiar tension creeping up his spine. Baculum Rectal Uppititis? Clever. He had to give her that, though the humor only deepened his irritation.
Her comment about taking breaks? Please. She could mask laziness under the guise of "psychological wisdom" all she wanted, but Ezekiel knew she was coasting on charm and a disturbingly high tolerance for mediocrity. But what frustrated him even more was that she wasn't mediocre. Otherwise there'd be no reason for him to worry so much about her stealing his ranking.
"Well, I guess we all have our coping mechanisms," Ezekiel muttered, his voice dripping with thinly veiled contempt as he reached for his phone, scrolling through his notifications just to keep his hands busy. He plugged it into the outlet near her seat, the same outlet she always claimed first out of spite. "Though some of us prefer to get our results through actual work rather than half-baked distractions."
He didn't bother waiting for her to respond, casually pulling out his iPad and stylus, flipping open to his notes on the research project.
Ezekiel glanced at the clock as it chimed, announcing the start of class. The professor strode in with a brisk pace, setting his papers down on the desk. He adjusted his glasses, looking over the room as the last few students settled into their seats.
"Alright, let's get started. Last week, we wrapped up our unit on ecological succession, so I trust you’ve all got a solid understanding of how environments evolve after disturbances—whether it’s a wildfire, volcanic eruption, or even human activity," the professor began, his voice calm but commanding. "I want you all to be thinking critically about how these processes affect biodiversity. Especially in terms of species adaptations and their resilience or vulnerability to…"
It was supposed to be a real-world analysis, some grand project that tested their ability to apply everything they’d learned in the past year to an original concept. Ezekiel had been playing around with ideas, something fieldwork-based, and he’d overheard the professor mention that the best projects weren’t just confined to the classroom—they were immersive, naturalistic studies.
And that’s where he had his angle.
He jotted down his rough idea: Analyzing Plant Adaptations in a Post-Industrial Environment. It would involve trips to nearby woods and abandoned areas—places where nature was reclaiming the land after years of human interference. It wasn’t just an opportunity to study plant biology, but also a way to measure biodiversity in rapidly shifting ecosystems. Something hands-on, immersive… a real project that demanded attention and effort. That, he could do.
