Well, it's technically got some fantasy elements, but we can change that pretty easily if we want. Basically humans discovered the existence of magical creatures at about the same time that a civil war was brewing in North America. There were like five/six armies going at it during the war's peak, and some of them used magical creatures as soldiers (against their will, btw). The war was so bad that it destroyed the government, the economy, and most major cities. Nowadays people are just trying to get by however they can. The original armies kind of disintegrated after the war, but I developed a ton of sub-cultures that sprang up in various areas of the country. As for the rest of the world, it pretty much turned its back on the states, except for Canada which accepted a bunch of refugees and helped negotiate a treaty. Climate change affects everywhere in different ways, tyrannical overseas governments have risen unhindered to power, magical creatures hate humanity's guts, and humanity itself is slowly going extinct. That's the five minute rundown, anyway. My story covers the time from the start of the war all the way to a couple centuries after, so if we chose this world we;f have to pick a basic time period in there somewhere ^^;

See you later! For when you get back~
I don't mind the fantasy at all! Would you prefer to work out a plot or just get a basic idea and build off of it as we go? Personally I think it's interesting to go for the latter cause we've got more freedom to come up with some weird ideas that could be thrown into the mix.

Yeah sure no problem.

That works! I'm kinda new to the romance scene so I guess it's up to you if we want include that or not (for the record, I haven't quite decided on my character yet, but my main choice rn is a gay dude in case that matters). I'll fill this out in a mo then! ^^

@Young-Dusty-the-Monarch-of-Dusteria group

Works for me! I'm gonna drop my guy here and disappear again for a bit, sorry ^^;
Name: Rick Longpaw

Gender: Male
Sexuality (if romance is part of the story): Pan
Looks: BIG, very muscular, kind of a dorito Captain America body type. Tanned skin, short light brown hair, slight beard, bright blue eyes, scar below his left eye, and geometric black tattoos that cover his arms, neck, and torso.
Outfit/style: Military-style clothes but with less gear, carries lots of guns.
Personality: Unendingly cheerful, friendly, chatty, tough and uncomplaining, likes to tell jokes and have a good time, polite, rarely angry or grumpy, seems simple-minded but is actually pretty smart.
Fears: Being alone for long, losing the ones he loves, flying in an airplane.
Strengths: Excellent fighter and good with many weapons, gets along with almost anyone, is just generally strong, horse riding, playing the harmonica, wilderness survival, working in a team.
Weaknesses: Doesn't always know when to be serious, insensitive, somewhat uneducated, has issues with commitment, can't sit still for long, is a little too fond of violence (even though he's a basically nice guy).
Pet peeves (sort of specific but it's fun to mess with these ^^): Complainers, weaklings, snowy weather, very dry weather, too much luxury, too much suspense.
Background/Family: He comes from a huge family of mercenaries in the southern part of the country, but is currently estranged from them for reasons he doesn't like to talk about.

So this took a while, my bad
I'm actually pulling her out of the same story Nathan was in

Name: Charlotte Seyrès
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Demisexual
Looks: under-developed body (due to lack of food when she was growing up) meaning little to no chest development or curves, 5'7, 115 lbs. Wide shoulders on a thin almost frail frame. Despite being thin she's got some muscle that almost hides the fact she's underweight. Asian-american, pale, quite a hollow overall look to her face. Dark brown eyes, light brown straight hair down to around her shoulders.
Outfit/style: very simple dark colours, practicality over style. Usually something along the lines of black leggings, grey tank top, beige/brown jacket and black lace up boots.
Personality: usually cool and collected, caring and sweet if needed but mostly stays serious, straight-forward, neutrally protective of most people, very intelligent and bold, confident in her decisions, incredibly stubborn and independent, quite easy to hurt her feelings but she'll try to hide it even though she's terrible at any type of lying, can get cold/cruel as a defence mechanism,
Fears: failing people, being betrayed, extremely claustrophobic
Strengths: very strong fighter though mostly hand to hand, her main advantage being that she's very fast and can usually see a move coming and block it - also good with a gun. Extremely high tolerance to tiredness, pain, hunger and thirst. Fluent in French, Spanish and English, well-educated. Cooks well, sculpts well.
Weaknesses: convinced she needs no one's help, emotionally hardened and has got major trust issues
Pet peeves: hypocrites, idiots, liars, people who are too proud or can't accept their mistake, self-centered people
Background/Family: had a sister who worked for government during the war in helping capture animals - they stopped talking to each other when Charlotte found out but Charlotte still defended her sister to her parents and tried to help her after the war. Sister refused, and fled. Her father died in the war, her mother tried going after her sister and was shot (maybe by sister, Charlotte doesn't know)
Idk if the backstory works with how the war went down correct me if I'm wrong?
