(Bump)

(Hi… I might be interested. I recognize some of these characters from old rp's of yours. I also check Notebook for rps pretty frequently.)

(Greetings! Lol, yeah, Ōn’nyosh [jester] and De’Tearion [ex-warlord] are among my favorites to rp with, and the others I’ve had in my brain on/off lately. So, any specific character catch your eye, or do you want some other options?)

(Yeah, those are the two I definitely remember from following some old rps. But I’m curious about the Telepath and the Vampire Nobleman. I don't recognize them.)

(Lol! Well, the telepath is Nwalan and the nobleman is Norkhal’rokh, or alternatively Nokhal’rokh, or just Nok for short. I actually had rps with Camie that had them in it [the Nwalan one was still getting started. The Nok one was one of the first handful I had with her])
(So, a little more detail on them two. Nwalan is of an OC race called Vanishers. They’re kind of OP, mostly in the sense that they are iconic for telepathy, teleportation, invisibility, and an odd form of shapeshifting, but the power level varies. They’re also known for their individual obsessions. Nwalan is rather powerful, but he’s very mellow, and more a prankster. He’s also obsessed with tapestries)
(Nok varies depending on his living status and the genre. His canonical personality is pretty much already summed up in the first post. Kind of a loner-type, and viciously protective of his books, but probably one of the more trustworthy vampires around. As a human, he was a naive and spoiled dandy. In a modern story, he’s either a filthy rich but lonely dandy with anemia or a traumatized vampire that’s just wanting some company but is too afraid to reveal himself. There’s some variations depending on the story)
(Also, both Nwalan and Nok are among my lgbtq+ characters. Nok is bisexual. Nwalan is technically pansexual leaning toward straight, but he can also assume any gender, to a point, so he’s a bit of an oddball lol)

(Ok. Vanishers actually sounds familiar but I must have missed the one with Nok in it.)
(Anyway… I have two… maybe three characters that could work depending on the genre we go with: Meghan, who was made for a Grimm based rp but I'm sure I can adapt her. Pip, who is a short, very shy, quiet bean… he can be a child if we do a found/adopted family thing. Or I have Marcus, who was a “monster hunter” type character… however I do have another rp with him and I don't want to get mixed up but 🤷‍♀️)

(I can link Nok’s rp if you want, just for the hell of it. I think I had him in a couple other short-lived rps, but I forget which ones)
(Hm… I haven’t watched Grimm, but I think I get the gist after looking it up. Meghan could probably work well with Nwalan [and he can be in either a fantasy or modern setting as well. I forgot to mention that. He’s only familiar with medieval places, but he’s a very curious individual and likes exploring])
(Pip could work with several of my characters, whether he’s a kid or not, lol. De’Tearion, Phalakros [Servant], Nwalan, and Nok, plus a bunch of others lol. De’Tearion is pretty much a big brother type. Phalakros is a kindred spirit, up until his Alter Ego emerges. Nwalan takes after De’Tearion with the brotherly theme. Nok, as his canon vampire self, can be pretty fatherly. Maybe even Ōn’nyosh, given enough time for him to get in a paternal mood. Or I could just make Ōn’nyosh older, where he’s already more mature and paternal)
(I won’t pressure you into using Marcus if you don’t want to. I understand the curse of getting rps confused. But, he might work best with Nwalan or Nok as a vampire. Or maybe he could attempt to help Phalakros get rid of his Alter-Ego)

(Oh geez… honestly, all of these sound good. I've put Meg in a Medieval setting before so that's not a problem. As for Pip… I can see him with De'Tearion, Nwalan, and Nok. I remember reading the rp with Ōn'nyosh and Camie's "Thrice Crowned Queen" rp and don't think a kid would be a good idea. Phalakros, at least his Alter Ego, might scare him… but could still lead to some interesting situations considering in one rp I gave Pip the ability to manipulate shadows. Not just change their shape, though he can do that too, but also make them have a physical effect like turning them into spears or a shield to protect himself or even make himself seem to disappear into them. And I agree with your suggestions about Marcus. Considering the situation, I think I can handle having him in more than one active rp.)

(Lol, I know! It’s already a hard call lol)
(Alrighty. And, it honestly doesn’t matter. Nwalan is fairly versatile, and his canon story is an open cliffhanger, so he can end up anywhere lol)
(Yeah, those three are definitely solid options. Real hard call there lol. Considering, I’ve never done any found family scenario with De’Tearion and a kid. Same with Nwalan, though I don’t have a lot on his explorations anyway. I have done it with Nok though, and it turned into an apprenticeship sort of thing)
(Oh dear, that’s right lol, it was you that mentioned you were following the Ōn’nyosh/Cleopatra rp lmao. I get what you mean, though to defend my dear boy lmao, he’s crazy in his 20’s, but he tames down a lot by his 40’s, mostly because he actually does become a dad, but before I start rambling lol… It’s still probably better to steer away from Ōn’nyosh though, whether it’s because of his promiscuity or his brash rudeness lol)
(Yeah, without a doubt. I’ve actually had an old rp where Phalakros was bonding with a kid before frightening him with his Alter-Ego. But, the Alter-Ego actually revolves around fear. It feeds on it and can only emerge when Phalakros is frightened. Hard part is defeating it so Phalakros can come back. The shadow magic would be an interesting twist though. The Alter-Ego uses something I currently call Tar Magic, which is basically like you put extra-evil shadow magic and water magic in a blender lol. I’d probably be on full improv though because I have no idea how the Alter-Ego would react to shadow magic being used on it lol)
(Lol, alrighty. So, for Nwalan, I kind of see a hunter/hunted theme, but Nwalan is very difficult to catch and it might frustrate the hell out of Marcus, either in a serious or humorous way. Nok would probably have a ‘piss off’ attitude, proceed to throw Marcus across the room, and just get seriously annoyed if Marcus continued trying to hunt him down. It could also lead to an odd impasse/friendship thing where they end up talking and Marcus discovers that Nok is actually fairly peaceful for an ancient vampire (this might actually be an option for Nwalan/Marcus too). Phalakros would probably be the trickiest, especially with the exorcising bit, as it requires multiple battles with the Alter-Ego and a lot of powerful Light magic. Also, technically, the Alter-Ego is more or less OP, but I can tame it down if need be)
(Also, I am completely open to multiple rps in case we can’t decide on just one duo, lol)

(Yep, that was me. Can't believe I forgot Cleopatra’s name considering I was doing an Enemies to Lovers RP with that character!)
(I have no idea about Phalakros and his Alter Ego but I think we might have to do multiple rps too lol Maybe one of each? One with Pip and De’Tearion, one with Marcus and either Nok or Nwalan, and one with Meg, again, either Nok or Nwalan. As in one of those two with Marc while the other one with Meg.)
(If that's too many we can drop either Meg or Marcus, no worries)

(Lol, no worries. Probably the only reason I remember is because I would usually call it “Ōn’nyosh/Cleopatra” anyway. Plus I’ve reread it like dozens of times now lol)
(Phalakros and his Alter-Ego would probably be one where I’d have to give hints/tips here or there. My magic system is based on the traditional elemental system, but splits off from tradition with some oddball elements, so the Alter-Ego is tricky to explain. Casual shrug)
(That works with me. And, no worries with the number. I had 15 rps going simultaneously with Camie, so it’s no big deal lmao)
(Hm… Meg/Nwalan and Marcus/Nok?)

(Sounds great to me. But doing 15 is a pretty impressive number!)
(So, which one are we doing here and how do you want to do the others? I really like your idea for Marcus and Nok; the whole Marcus is the annoying persistent hunter who doesn't take a hint as to when he's beaten, leading to the unlikely friendship/alliance plotline.)

(Yeah. It was definitely a juggling game, lol)
(Lol, yeah, I really like that plotline too!)
(Um… Well, since we’ve got a good idea for Nok/Marcus, we could do it here, if you want. And, I can go ahead and make the other threads real quick)

(Sounds good. Should I post Marcus’s character sheet or do you want to go in blind?)

(I was honestly fixing to ask if you wanted to do templates or not, lmao! I’m honestly casual either way, but we can do templates just to simplify things if you want)

(Also, do you want to use the same template, or just individual templates? I’m casual either way)

(lol I’m pretty casual too so I'm good either way. I have a character sheet for all three of my characters so I can post them to each of our rps if you want. But as I said, I’m fine with going in blond too)

(Lol. Well, I’ve got one for De’Tearion. But, it turns out that I don’t have templates for Nwalan and Nok. I completely forgot about that from ages ago, lmao! So, just to speed things up, we can go in blind)

(ok. Sounds good. Would you like to start?)

(Sure, I’ll get a starter up in a sec)
