Original poster
I know, not the most creative title, but it gets the job done. I'm in need of new writing partners, and since I could take or leave the kind of content that gets something put in the "star" section around here, I decided to post this to the more general search forum as well in the hopes of getting seen by more potential partners.
I have some fairly vague ideas I'd like to offer up, but first let's get the basics out of the way; I typically like rping sci-fi, romance, and fantasy type genres, and sometimes some that are more "typical life." I do not like horror or overly depressing plots, I almost never use existing characters from books/movies/other sources [but there are a few I'd like to do things with, listed below] , and I tend to avoid mental illness, rape, torture, and other more extreme plot points in rp [Ask before doing these things, at least, please]. I also only rp MxF pairings, at least for main characters; I have nothing against others, it's simply that I don't have the experience to write them to my own satisfaction or the motivation to enjoy doing so -much the same reason why I don't date other girls myself. I don't allow cheating at all in my rp, or similar stuff.
All that said, I tend to try to match post length of my rp partners and ask only that they give me enough to reply to and that it is written for the most part properly. I'm on pretty much every day and usually respond within the day, but I understand that everyone has a life so I'm also not all that picky about activity levels as long as one is around enough to keep the story going. Communication is also good for all things; I'd like to know if my partner is going to be gone a while, something has happened, they have an interesting story idea, or they just want to talk in general about just about anything. I very much enjoy out of character, off topic conversations as well. I'd like for my partners to stick around for the long term, since member turnover seems to be an issue for many on this site, but I understand if something comes up. Please let me know immediately, because otherwise I will definitely assume that either something terrible has happened to you [such as death] or I have said something that offended you and you now hate me. I like long-term rp and slower build up to pairings wherever possible, as it fits with my own personality and values.
That said, let's get into my ideas. First up, the more established universes that I have; either originally my own or those of stories that I find interesting to build from.
Winged Humans
This is my own original "universe" and my favorite to rp. It is rather loosely based upon the Maximum Ride series of books, but changed primarily because I am a complete biology nerd [I'm a medical student] and wanted it to be more realistic.
Like in the mentioned books, the main characters are genetically altered humans with wings and other changes originating from bird genes grafted into their cells when they were very early embryos. While the percentage changed is very small, it allows them to have wings [On the back like an angel's, feathered usually either to match their hair or the color patterning of an existing bird species, and somewhere around fifteen -or somewhat more- feet span when fully grown and extended; somehow they still fold up enough to go unnoticed against the back -with some discomfort- under a jacket], more efficient circulatory systems, mostly hollow bones, improved senses -vision especially-, and higher metabolism and lower body fat than most, as well as other changes that allow them to fly. Aesthetic and other enhancing changes besides flight are common, these scientists are nothing if not ambitious. Some have other animal attributes, too, although those are usually side characters and they've often been much less successful -sometimes they exist as failed experiments, mentioned sadly by main characters as having died from their issues. These embryos were then grown in surrogates and then raised in the lab; their care and tests having similar questionable ethics to most human genetic experiments seen in sci-fi stories. As the oldest of these experiments have reached teenage years, some have begun to escape and try to live outside, sometimes returning to help those still in the lab. The story begins there for most of the following plots, with exceptions noted. All involve a specific male character which I've created, in this one I am looking for a female mate for him -although that's hardly the only plot element I want. Other characters can be created and used based on need or partner interests. I'm definitely open to new suggestions for things to do with this "universe."
The plots I have for this are as follows, though they're far from completely thought out;
Like I said, I'm also open to whatever other ideas you can think of for this universe. Message me with them, it'll be fun.
Prehistoric RP or Time Traveller RP
In this one we would be RPing early modern humans, in a time when humans lived in tribes and hunted and gathered for food. What I'd like to rp are strange characters who begin to invent better things, try to study their world, and do other more recognizably modern things. This would bring them into conflict with their more traditional tribemates and might even get them kicked out.
Another thing that could be involved is prisoners taken as slaves or wives.. The more modern character could then take pity on them and help them out, resulting in banishment or attempted killing by his tribe.
This could also be changed to involve time travellers, because those are fun too.
Many other plots could use time travellers as well. Just ask, I'm sure we can come up with one together.
ARK rp
For those of you familiar with the ARK computer games [the ones with dinosaurs and floating islands and all], I would like to do a RP in that universe with original characters. Since characters in the story of the game come from a wide range of times and places, it seems like a very interesting universe to use for a RP with near endless possibilities. We can work out the details together.
Other, even less fleshed out plots/pairings [I'll explain when/if I get messages expressing interest, this post feels like it's becoming too long. Also definitely open to any suggestions.]
Avatar the last Airbender RP [Mostly new characters, but it might also be interesting to rp Zuko and Katara together. It's one of the most interesting and non-insane non-cannon pairings I've encountered on the internet, that I only like more as I get older.]
How to Train Your Dragon
Hunger Games [I want to do one with Katniss and Gale going into the games together. They'd probably be an unstoppable team, and also would end up together. Peeta was always weird to me.]
Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts/ Any other wizardry/magic stuff
Gods/godesses
Best friend pairings
Scientists or doctor pairings
Criminal minds [I'd like to get someone to pair with Reid; he's my favorite and gets tortured too much in that show.]
The Good Doctor [Because why not]
Any kind of sci-fi
That's all for now.
Oh, and I'd prefer replies to this be in messages as I find that easier to keep track of.

Other characters can be created and used based on need or partner interests. I'm definitely open to new suggestions for things to do with this "universe."
The plots I have for this are as follows, though they're far from completely thought out;
- Following your character escaping on her own, she is spotted by someone my character knows or my character himself while he is flying. He follows her and then must convince her to join his group and teach her how to live in the normal world. Other plot things could follow; for example raids on the labs which created them and eventual attempts to shut them down as well as interpersonal things between characters both in the experiment group and with "normal" characters.
- My character attempts a raid or infiltration of the lab on his own, and it goes badly. He gets captured and is placed into a cell with a female of his kind [your character] as an attempt at a breeding program. Threats and other coercion are used to encourage breeding, and the two of them must work together to escape. The story continues from there as listed above.
- My character attempts a raid or infiltration and fails, and then your female character comes in and saves him. This both embarasses and impresses him. This plot for those who like stronger female characters and/or reversing the usual rescuing gender stereotype. I also like it for the dynamic it'd create with my character.
- My character gets captured somehow. He then meets a scientist's [normal] daughter and there's a connection, so she helps him escape. This plot would deal with the conflicts around her parents identity and differing treatment between her and the experiments, what his group would think of him bringing home a scientist's daughter and "normal" as a friend or girlfriend, and more.
- My character succeeds at infiltrating the lab while impersonating a scientist and meets your character. He likes her and saves her, and then it continues from there as above. Heck, maybe he could even get with an intern scientist that got into the job without known what was going on… I actually like that one. I'd love to do that one, it'd have a good deal of conflict.
- Your character in this one is normal, perhaps and acquaintance of mine but more likely a stranger. She gets into a dangerous situation and my character sees it and swoops in -literally- to rescue her. He gets hurt in the process, so she has to help him and also finds out about his strange biology in the process. He then has to convince her to keep the secret and all. Either that or she recognizes him in the process of being saved and leaves him with a lot of explaining to do.
- My character's group does a raid on the lab, accidentally freeing an experiment that's insane and violent. Your character, either normal or another experiment, becomes the object of fixation of that character, resulting in my character having to protect her from the deranged character until he can be dealt with. In the case of a normal person, there's also the issue of keeping the secret and all.
- This one would be very long term. We rp the two first experiments of this kind through their childhood, mostly in the lab. It would eventually lead up to them escaping together, becoming romantically involved, and building a life for themselves on the outside while trying to fight the labs.
Like I said, I'm also open to whatever other ideas you can think of for this universe. Message me with them, it'll be fun.
