Heya Iwaku! Made another partner request post to sum up my plots and wants a little better. Feel free to DM me if any of this strikes your fancy!

About me
I'm a marine bio student in the UK, as well as marine mammal medic, trained SCUBA diver and kickboxer, and have been roleplaying since 2015.
  • I usually write anywhere from 150 to 500 words.
  • I write in the third person, past tense.
  • I'm in GMT (GMT+1 in summer time).
  • I usually respond every 1-3 days. Sometimes I get busy with uni, or forget—if I haven't mentioned I'll be busy and unable to respond please don't feel bad about pinging me to remind me!
  • I usually roleplay on Discord, just so we can have RP channels, channels for character bios, for places and lore etc. however if it's really non-negotiable for you, and you seem like a good fit, I'm willing to roleplay via a thread here and use PMs for lore sharing etc.
  • I don't do NSFW/sexual content. Anything like that will be a fade-to-black for me. Romance stuff is totally fine, though.

What I'm looking for
  • Someone 18+ due to my age.
  • Someone who can write a minimum of 100 ish words. I'm not too strict on this, though, especially when we're roleplaying quick-fire conversation.
  • More importantly than post length, I'd love good quality writing. Nothing against things like chatrp or one liner RP, I just personally prefer full prose, with some detail in it.
  • Someone who replies at a similar speed to me. I don't do quickfire, but I do get excited for a post after I've made one, so do like to get one back at least once a week.
  • Ideally, a friend! I'm into all sorts; DnD, anything marine-related, witchy and spiritual stuff, kickboxing or other combat sports, cosplay, theatre and probably lots more I've forgotten.

Plots
Falcombe
Modern fantasy | Dark fantasy | Celtic mythology | Retro vibe | Witch x Witch hunter
Hook
In the Celtic town of Falcombe, not everything is as it seems. To the humans, anyway. Among them in their sleepy rural tourist town live the supernaturals; witches, merfolk, fae, and many more. Since the witch trials, supernaturals have managed to slip under the radar, convincing humans that witches aren't real and werewolves roaming the hills were just old wives tales. Falcombe began as a supernatural village. A safe haven for them. As humans began to move there, once again, they became hidden among the populace. However, as humans began to realise just who, or what, was hiding amongst them, hunts began. Witches burned at the stake, beastbloods hunted, merfolk ensnared in nets. Having returned to their relative peace since the trials, the supernaturals would do anything to keep their secrets. How long can they manage it?

Characters
Meet Ferne Keeling, proprietor of Silverwood Arcana, Falcombe's own metaphysical shop. She's also a witch. The daughter of the local coven's High Priestess, to be exact. With big boots to fill as she learns her craft and begins to take on more responsibility as a young adult, she's juggling a lot—running her shop, learning to lead a coven, trying to navigate adulthood.

Who will you play? I'd love to do an MxF witch hunter x witch romance between Ferne and your character. Her type is usually the golden retriever type guy, but first and foremost I'd love for him to be from a family descended from supernatural hunters from the time of the witch trials. His family begin to rediscover their ancestors' knowledge, and begin to realise it might actually be real as things start to get weird in Falcombe. Your character is involved as they begin to carry out their legacy, perhaps conflicted, and at some point discovers that the woman he's interested in, or maybe even already dating, is a witch. How does he react? Which side does he choose?

You are also welcome to play multiple characters! I likely will be, using Ferne and Ketania, maybe even a side character of mine. You can find both Ferne and Ket in my characters thread—check out my signature for the link!
Setting info
This setting will involve dark themes. No sex/star content, but expect violence and potential gore (though nothing quite mortal kombat level), bad language, themes of oppression, themes of religious persecution. Witch hunters very famously burned their victims at the stake and drowned them in rivers, after all.

While modern technology will exist and this is set in the present day, it'll have a bit of a retro vibe, about 70s/80s. Small rural Celtic town, everyone knows each other, a bit like shows like Sex Education where they're set in modern day but the cars, the colours etc. all seem a bit anachronistic.

Info regarding the supernatural races, magic, etc. can be found in this interest check. It was originally to be a group RP, but I've gotten a bit too busy for that, and interest from the potential players waned. However, this isn't necessary reading, at least at first, unless you're playing a supernatural alongside your human character.
Not available

High Fantasy Pirate Adventure
Medieval fantasy | High fantasy | Pirates | Platonic, romance if FxF
Hook
It's a bold move, commandeering a ship. Much more so with the wanted posters plastered all over the port town you find yourself in, after the run-in with a royal ship you only narrowly escaped. With only a husk of a ship left, you and your crew need something new, and fast. As it turns out the perfect vessel sits bobbing in the harbour as a crew unloads its cargo. As you stage a takeover, the expected shouts from the guards reach your ears, crying out for you to stop, woman- woman?

You glance over. Just as your crew unfurl the sails and raise the anchor, the wind filling the ship with life and the sails with air, a figure leaps from the pier, hurtling through the air, and lands with a thud on the wooden deck. A woman. She's only just made the jump. She's also nude. Clutching a gnarled driftwood staff and a bundled-up grey animal skin, she stands. In response to your puzzlement, she speaks. "You are pirates, seekers of treasures? I too seek a treasure. Perhaps we can help each other."

Characters
Tehi stands out in a crowd, both physically and in regard to her demeanour. Tall, with long dark grey hair and patches of grey mottling her skin, she is a strange sight for almost everyone. The seal pelt she often wears as a cloak or cape doesn't help her blend in either. A selkie from a reclusive tribe, she seeks a lost relic of her people, and in return, brings with her a great knowledge of the sea, the winds, the tides, and magic. While she has not mastered her abilities by any means, she clearly holds great potential. Moreover, she could prove to be a highly useful asset to a down-on-their-luck pirate captain, with her powers able to fill sails, turn tides, and heal the injured and the sick. This naive yet powerful druid wants something and you may just be uniquely qualified to help. For a price, of course.

Who are you? A pirate captain of some sort, preferably not the most infamous captain on the seas, but rather one who could do with a bit of magic and wisdom to aid them. Any gender is fine, though I would love to play against a female captain character. As Tehi is a lesbian, there's also the potential for romance if they gel together. Perhaps someone who underestimates Tehi for a while, and makes this clear, but as she hones her powers and begins to show the true force she is capable of, they begin to see that she isn't simply a pretty face and a pelt to steal.

Setting info
This setting will involve dark or adult themes. No sex/star content, but expect violence and potential gore (though nothing quite mortal kombat level), bad language, and non-sexual nudity—google some selkie myths. They're not fans of clothes, it seems.

I have a loose setting we could use, however I'm open to developing one with you if you'd like to worldbuild!
Available!
