I'm a fairly run of the mill straight, t4t trans man who wants to basically roleplay a straight, t4t relationship without expectations of writing too much effort-filled stuff. I'm also changing up my standard rules around shipping/smexy stuff for this so please read through them as they are in at least my opinion important. I also want them to be dragon riders. Or rather, my character is a dragon shapeshifter, and your character is his gorgeous lover, the lone Queen of the kingdom Light's Herald. Essentially, he's her guardian, consort, and knight, and their relationship is pretty wholesome, with a few storylines fleshed out as options below. I hope this is interesting enough as a concept, I mainly just like roleplaying wholesome supportive relationships with a textbook GirlbossxHimbo combo. I hope this makes sense and thanks for reading!!
-How they first meet: My concept for this is that before your character is a Queen, she is a Princess off on an epic Quest to save her kingdom from a curse that causes everyone in the kingdom to slowly fall ill with a sickness that eventually renders the victim of an unbreakable coma. My character is essentially injured during flight and crash lands in the woods on your character's journey, and she helps him because why not? and so he pledges obligatory dragon "you saved my life now I'm basically your guardian for life" loyalty and they save the kingdom.
-Established relationship: Stealing the plots of Tangled the Series and oddly enough Sonic the Hedgehog movies for this one and modifying them a bit, there is a Sunstone and a Moonflower that grant the user powers over the forces of Chaos and Unity, a demon king is trying to steal them and use them for nefarious purposes. They have to save the kingdom and stuff blah blah happy ending.
-Established relationship + kid shenanigans: Basically them being a wholesome family and raising a kiddo with dragon powers like their dad. That's as far as I thought through that one.
Rules are as follows:
If you're a bigot, nazi, or otherwise asshole I won't want to roleplay with you. It doesn't take much to go just above the bar for "Kind Person" and I don't have super high expectations so I expect you to be such.
I won't tolerate transphobia in particular, but also basically all other forms of bigotry such as ableism, sexism, general homo/queerphobia, racism, religious bigotry etc. also FREE PALESTINE. The only "ism" we support here is the t'ism.
On that note, I'm autistic and have some… reservations around smut but am breaking my usual rule of "avoid smut at all costs" because I honestly just wanna write wholesome sexy stuff for once in my life idk where this urge is coming from. This will not be a big part of the RP, I would like to stress that I'm not really a smut author nor am I particularly kinky irl so this will be tamer stuff. Don't make me regret this, is my point.
Be decent and respectful. Politeness and a good attitude go a long way. I get if I'm annoying sometimes you have every right to point it out but please don't trash me for existing thx xoxo ;)
I won't write anything involving or referencing sexual trauma, I really hate a lot of the tropes that surround it and aside from that, I actually have sexual trauma and don't wanna relive it, again thanks for getting it.
I also won't write hardcore gore or sexual stuff, once again I am NOT into that. Characters can fight and draw blood but graphic depictions of internal organs make me feel like I'm gonna vomit. Also I'm not kinky, once again.
PLEASE tell me if I'm triggering anything with how I write for you, I have paranoia and phobias so I totally get having the ickies over even tame, calm plots. Also, feel free to list any triggers you may have!
Have fun!!
(Omg this sounds so interesting, is it alright if I join?)
(Sure! Do you want to use character templates or discuss plots or characters or setting or anything before we begin?)
(Yes! I would like character templates. I have a character in mind for this but it’s funny bc I actually have a lot of dragon shapeshifter characters myself, and a whole world built around them so it’s weird not being in that role ahah. Anyway, questions- this curse, it would also apply to the princess, right? Also, did you have a specific idea for what Light’s Herald is like, or do I have creative license to add my own ideas? If this rp is about dragon riders, does that mean the kingdom is going to go into a HTTYD route and like, the kingdom’s citizens and the dragon shifters end up having a symbiotic relationship?)
(Also as an aside, I’m autistic as well and I understand the urge to write wholesome smut. I’m not super experienced with it either and only started writing scenes like that a while ago. So I don’t mind it and I’m not really into hardcore stuff either)
(Okay, so to answer your questions and comments in chronological order…
Character templates it is then! Also cool, dragon shifter buddies! The curse might apply to the princess it might not, it's up to you how that pans out could make for some good angst idk?? But it's not something I actually thought about sorry! And you have full creative licence over the kingdom and it's traditions but I did envision it to be a bit inspired by Greek Mythos, with the dragons being a fair bit more monstrous and dangerous and more chaotically benevolent to who they deem as worthy than anything and generally made to protect specific magical artifacts over huge hoards of treasure. My character is going to be an exiled dragon shifter, looking for a treasure to protect as the dragon shifters do have their own society but it's very strict and thus those who are exiled aren't generally allowed back in unless they prove their worth by finding something worth protecting, if you get my vibe. I have an inkling of how their culture plays out but of course I'm not 100% on any aspect of anything, just a bit of backstory. And maybe!! Dragons are a lot less like animals and more like people so less HTTYD and more like… uhh, not really having a frame of reference, more like werewolves living in human society kind of deal, or even like the Hellhounds in helluva boss, like there are rules and stuff around them and their care but they're seen as lesser citizens in many societies so they basically just formed their own and told everyone else to fuck off, yk? And yeah I'm pretty much only interested in writing smut for the plot and symbolism and also sometimes the wholesome fluff yk? Don't really condone kink in real life, it's really abusive in a lot of ways and I was exposed to that stuff way too young so mainly I just stick to the fluff n stuff.)
(Okay great, sounds good! And yeah, ofc it wouldn’t really be like HTTYD, it was just the first dragon rider thing I thought of)
(Thanks, and yeah I got what you were aiming for just felt the need to over-clarify.)
(I’ll post some character templates in a bit, I’m in class now and honestly I just haven’t been checking social medias and things like that as consistently as I should be tbh.)
Name:
Age:
Species: (Your character could be a human, an elf, a dwarf, something else ect. I'm not picky! Just something you think would be interesting. Bonus points for femme dwarves with beards as part of their culture and expression a la Cheery Littlebottom because I am f e r a l for that stuff omgggggg)
Gender:
Sexuality:
Appearance:
Wardrobe style: (can be images or just a general vibe or description.)
What stuff are they afraid of? I need both vibes and specific phobias like spiders or the dark or death because tbh I have… plans for that tee-hee:
Character playlist (if you have one):
Family? Friends? Toxic stalker ex? What relationships do they have with others? How do those relationships go? How do they end?:
Other notes/misc. section for just random trivia and facts:
Also, I don't think I noted this in the original posting, but I don't see most forms of bigotry existing in this universe besides like, speciesism and possibly a bit of institutional ableism because I'm projecting. I see this as being a very queer accepting universe, but maybe they'd have certain biases between species and possibly some biases around neurodivergence/disability as accessibility in fantasy stories is an interesting topic I'd like to take realistically. Also, some cultures might have sexist rules and customs that, as our characters adventure, they'd basically digest and take down, however I am aware that sexism is a cousin of many types of queerphobia so I don't know how in-depth I'd actually get with that for the sake of being realistic to how real world bigotry works. Anyways, just some thoughts! And obviously no real violence would be enacted in a triggering way, just implied stuff for the most stuff. Thanks!
(Thank you! And good to know! Do you have a specific age range in mind or anything?)
(Probably since we’re going for the first prompt, somewhere between 21-26 since this is before the Queen is officially coronated.)
(Okay, thanks. Also I know you said most forms of bigotry don’t exist here, but since my character is from a kingdom with a monarchy, what about classism? Slavery? Or is that covered under my creative license?)
(I honestly didn't think of that! I don't think I'm qualified to write about issues around slavery seeing as I'm whiter than snow and so I don't really have a say in topics like that. But classism is definitely a topic we could explore for sure!)
(Okay, no worries. I’m just looking into Ancient Greek society while I’m filling out my sheet and they had a lot of slaves. They were considered non-citizens, not under the protection of the law, so I felt it would be relevant to address. Class in general is also relevant to my character’s backstory)
(yeah I get that! I mainly meant the aesthetics of the buildings and fashion etc, not the actual culture being Greek if that clarifies things. Sorry!)
(Oh, oops- definitely not how I interpreted that hahah)
