greetings.
hi there! i'm shadywolf (call me shady) and looking to score a few roleplays to fill up my time after having taken a long hiatus from writing. read on for rules and plots and please comment below with your interest! i'd prefer if you didn't pm me, so i can contact each of you myself, after ensuring that you've read through my thread properly. no hard feelings! i just am really tired of people not bothering to read through what i write. (also, i'm sorry if this seems very long, but i promise, it's mostly plots/ideas. my rules aren't that long.)

about me.
as i said, my name is shadywolf! you can call me shady, or wolf, or any variation of the name, if you want. here are a few things you can expect from me, as a partner:

quality > quantity. that isn't to say that i don't care about quantity, of course, i just don't stress on it too much. i also prefer not to count by paragraphs, since that can mean a lot of things (such as saying a person can write seven paragraphs, when those seven paragraphs contain two lines each), so i will say that i average around 500 words per post (or per character), and i rarely go below. i haven't yet reached a maximum, though please understand that longer posts will obviously mean a longer wait for replies.​
— in terms of genders, i'm more than capable of playing any and all, though, like with everyone, my mood changes and my preference shifts. i should also point out that i adore portraying multiple characters. i won't call it 'doubling' because, to me, that holds a negative connotation where one person gets the pairing of their choice and doesn't put as much effort into the other character. i know this isn't applicable to everyone, and i can't just generalise, but it's happened to me far too many times, so please only approach me for multiple characters if you actually enjoy playing multiple characters, and don't care about playing only one gender.​
— as far as romantic pairings go (yes, i always need romance in my stories) i participate actively in m|m and m|f. never quite got into f|f, if i'm being honest, so i'm not looking for any of those pairings at the moment.​
— i'm online every day, but that doesn't mean i can reply every day. i only type rp responses from my laptop so there will definitely be times when i can chat endlessly in ooc, but will not be able to get a reply up. please don't take offence to this and think that i'm not interested. we all have lives outside of roleplaying, so keep that in mind! i will also never pressure you for a post. i'm a patient person, and i can wait days on end for a reply.​
diverse characters are my jam. i love portraying characters from varying backgrounds, as well as ethnicities, and i always use real life face claims. i also love to code, and will likely always use code in my roleplays.​
— i can roleplay either through threads or via pms, though i will not roleplay anywhere else. for ooc, i prefer to use discord, but i will never roleplay on discord. the word limit thing just sucks and i can't code there.​
— some of my favourite themes to include in a roleplay would be: romance, angst, drama, supernatural, powers, tension, action, betrayal, fluff, mythology and occasionally, historical themes too.​
little known fact: i love to draw! i think i suck at it but i enjoy it anyway. i also am an amateur photographer and i'm looking to expand that more.​

my expectations.
now that you know about me, here's what i'm hoping to find in a roleplay partner:

quality > quantity. someone who understands that length isn't everything and can give me quality content along with a reasonably sized post. a writing sample would be great, but i won't say i need one in order to roleplay with a person.​
— someone who isn't very picky about the gender they play. i usually don't decide until a plot is settled on and i understand that everyone has preferences, but i just can't roleplay with a person who insists on only ever portraying one gender. i also would love a partner who can portray multiple mains, but i understand that this isn't everyone's cup of tea, so i won't make it a 'rule', as such. i will however insist that you be able to play npcs as and when needed, since i will as well!​
— someone who can plot with me. driving a story between two people requires effort from both ends! i can guarantee ideas from my side. what i want is active contribution from you too!​
communication is key. i require a partner who doesn't mind ooc chat. even if we don't do it often, i just like to be informed if you're going to be away for a while, so i'm not left wondering if you're still interested or not. and if you're no longer interested, that's fine! just let me know. i know it can be hard, but i promise, i won't take offence to it. it's much better than ditching me.​
— someone who enjoys romance! i personally love it in a story, whether it's cheesy, a slow burn, whatever. i just need it in a roleplay, and it would be great if my partner is interested in incorporating it in whatever story we do. smut is a-okay too, as long as it doesn't drive the roleplay. i'm also fine not including it and just fading to black.​
— please use real life face claims! i'm afraid i won't be accepting of anything else. sorry!​
— since we've gotten this far, when you comment below please tell me a little known fact about yourself! and give me a small paragraph introduction on you and your roleplaying style, as well as what pairings/ideas interested you from my thread, so i can feel a better connection with a potential partner. if you fail to do this, chances are that i won't pm you.​

conflicting ships.
now the fun part! here are a few conflicting ships that i thought would be cool to explore. they're vague, and don't have a plot line, but we could easily come up with one or use them in some of the plots listed on the next slide! also, feel free to pitch your own if you think we'll enjoy it.

— they are straight-up enemies - superhero / villain? opposing sides of a war? in line to be ruler? from different mobs/gangs?​
— they broke their heart in the past - maybe there was a good reason behind it, or maybe they were an idiot then and realize it now.​
— they did the other wrong in the past - maybe they wronged the other’s family member or friend.​
— they are good friends - they don’t want to risk ruining their friendship by taking it to the next level.​
— they are freaked out by who they really are - a werewolf, vampire, ex-con, spy, etc.​
— it was supposed to be sex only - they were going to be friends with benefits, or maybe one of them is an escort. falling in love goes against the original arrangement.​
— their love was supposed to be fake - they were pretending to be in love or married, or they entered a marriage of convenience.​
— they have moral qualms - one of them is the other’s boss, their teacher, ex-girlfriend or their best friend, and that gives them pause.​
— their love is forbidden by others - it’s against the rules, spoken or unspoken, of their family, organization, community, or religion.​
— one of them is promised to someone else - maybe the wedding’s already planned and everything. they might have reasons for going through with a loveless marriage.​
— they are a danger to the other’s safety - they’re a spy, vampire, drug lord, gang leader, etc.​
— they have a reputation - a materialistic douche, a heartless womanizer, etc.​
— they have terrible first impressions of one another - they might have gotten off to an awful start by arguing over something.​

plots.
here are some more fleshed out plots! again, feel free to pitch your own plots/ideas if you feel like i may enjoy them! (also credit to tumblr for most of these.)

— god for a week — A group of four-six people are injected with a serum with the intent of giving them superpowers. With the animal testing, this serum had been deemed completely safe and ready for human trials. However now inside a human subject, the serum develops powerful carcinogenic qualities and is killing the human subjects. Faced with their own rapidly approaching deaths and with a myriad of powers at their fingertips how do these super beings spend their last few days?​
— we’re just friends — i’m .,, dying for a plot where it’s like these two friends & and somehow somewhere tht can be discussed they ended up kissing and it’s like ?? wow ur good at this… we really shouldn’t but can we like,, kiss a lil bit more ?? and from then on it’s like every time they get together they kind of make out ? a lot ? and then it’d develop to hookups with breathless “just friends, right?” mixed in with it and that was fi nE bc they were just friends like no feelings at all lmao…,, until one of them eventually gets a boyfriend/girlfriend and the other is just like haha yeah dude no i don’t care that’s cool…,, it was just for fun anyway… i don’t miss our little thing together i swear i’m not jealous…,, not at all i don’t havE ANy FeeLINGS FOR U WHATSOEVER..,,, fuckin beautiful jerk and it’d just be really angsty and fluffy and lots of developing feelings tht shouldn’t be developed and yeah​
— it’s just a myth — except it’s not just a myth. gods are real. very much so, and they have relationships with humans. their offspring are known as demigods and… well, a few of them are guided to a place to meet because something big is about to happen — something that could affect the fate of the world — and they’re the chosen few who can possibly put a stop to this threat.​
— with great power… — ...comes great responsibility. only, these people never asked for that power. unfortunately, now they have no other choice but to put that to good use, when they’re recruited by a secret agency that tries to help deal with threats in the world. congrats! you’re now a superhero! it just isn’t as easy as it seems… and there may or may not be a mole up in this joint.​
— she’s the man — so if you’ve seen the movie (or know the shakespeare story it’s based on), it’s essentially about how muse a disguises herself as a male (specifically, her twin brother) to join a school where she can participate in the boys soccer team since her old school cut the girls team. it’s a boarding school, there are lots of tense moments where she’s almost caught, and let’s not forget that her roommate is fkin hot and what the hell is she supposed to do now??​
— it’s called (bullshit) tradition — muse a is a college frat stud who only cares about being top dog at his frat house. muse a’s frat has a tradition that involves frat brothers hooking up with and taking the panties of the goody two-shoes girls on campus. muse a isn’t crazy about the idea, but peer pressure to be the biggest badass pushes them into going along with it. muse a picks one of the biggest goody two-shoes on campus, muse b. muse a asks muse b to a party and they accept. at the party, muse a spends some alone time with muse b and oops, they see muse b is crazy sweet and feel so bad that they confess what their true intention was for the night.​
— what happened here? — muse a is back home for a visit with their family. upon arrival, they notice that their small town is deserted and there isn’t a soul in sight. muse a finally comes across someone, muse b. muse b and muse a have known each other since childhood, but had never gotten along. muse b tells muse a about what is happening (zombies/aliens/government/whatever your heart desires) and they decide to stick together and try to survive until they find more help.​
— the wedding planner — Muse A is a wedding planner who is very dedicated and focused on their job. They take it quite seriously. They don’t intend to marry personally, because they haven’t had much success with dating. Muse B is the groom of the wedding Muse A was hired to plan, but Muse A doesn’t know that when they meet and Muse falls for them.​
— the bodyguard — Muse A is a royal whose parent/parents can’t seem to keep track of. Despite their royal duties, Muse A just wants to run off. They hire Muse B as Muse A’s bodyguard of sorts, though Muse B is instructed not to tell Muse A. Muse B arranges to meet Muse A randomly and a bond is formed.​

fandom inspired.
i don't dabble in fandoms that much, if using canons, but when it comes to original characters, or simply using elements of the universe, i can definitely get on board! here are some movies/tv shows/books i enjoyed in the past that could inspire plot ideas for us to follow (and to give you a better idea of the kind of themes i enjoy):

— the maze runner (the concept of being trapped somewhere without memories. maybe super powers are in play?)​
— the hunger games (loved the idea and the books. maybe roleplaying out one of the past games would be fun. or something post the rebellion, with more twisted games.)​
— the purge (very interesting idea! always thought a purge inspired rp would be cool.)​
— bird box (interesting concept! we could play around and switch it up.)​
— star trek/star wars (i know, totally different, but essentially, something set in space? the future, maybe, or an au where there are other habitable planets out there, stuff like that.)​
— harry potter (magic, duh.)​
— dc/mcu (a little familiar with both universes, but superheroes are definitely always fun. maybe our own league of teen supers who have no idea what they're doing?)​
— the haunting of hill house (ghosts. need i say more?)​
— divergent (the faction based concept was intriguing!)​
— stranger things (the concept of lab experiments on the run is a cool one to roll with. or anything from this universe, really.)​
— house of wax (creepy town, uninhabited (but our characters don't know that), lost of mystery, thrill and murder. could be tons of fun.)​

final note.
that's it! thanks for reading through all of this (kudos to you if you did). please remember to comment below (as it is written in the 'my expectations' slide), and let me know you're interested.


 
Hey, I am interested in your role play ideas and the way that you do things. First off I want to say that I am 17 and I don't know your age so if you are 18+ then unfortunately I don't think we can role play together.
My name is Hunter and I like to draw as well. I don't think I am very good at it but of course every artists says that at least once. I like to have alot to work off of in a roleplay so your 500 word minimum works for me. I strongly prefer to play guys but I will play a girl if the role play interests me enough. I think that your ideas are interesting and I especially like, supernatural/mythology themed ones. I do struggle with going along a straight plot line since most times ive roleplayed its only been a theme and not a detailed idea. With practice though I think I could make it work. I am on relativly everyday and will only be on if I have time to reply. I think that is what you wanted and I hope things work out.

Howdy howdy! I’m no hero and I’m totally interested in writing with ya! I’m 24 years old and I’m trying to get back into my writing passion. Been doing this role play thing for about a decade now so I guess my word count on average is about 800 words but like you quality over quantity any day! As far as my preferences go I definitely prefer MxM and FxM pairings but rarely do I portray females but hey I’m up for a challenge :D sorry if this is awkward I’m a nervous jelly bean but yeah if you want go ahead and shoot me a message!!

Hiiiii I'm Kat! I'm 21 years old and I've been rping for over seven years now. Fantasy, crime, drama, and romance are HUGE for me! Your brief characteristics of these particular statements caught my attention.
  • — it was supposed to be sex only - they were going to be friends with benefits, or maybe one of them is an escort. falling in love goes against the original arrangement.
  • — their love was supposed to be fake - they were pretending to be in love or married, or they entered a marriage of convenience.
  • — their love is forbidden by others - it’s against the rules, spoken or unspoken, of their family, organization, community, or religion.
  • — one of them is promised to someone else - maybe the wedding’s already planned and everything. they might have reasons for going through with a loveless marriage.
  • — they are a danger to the other’s safety - they’re a spy, vampire, drug lord, gang leader, etc.
  • — they have a reputation - a materialistic douche, a heartless womanizer, etc.
  • — they have terrible first impressions of one another - they might have gotten off to an awful start by arguing over something.
I think, if we're creative enough we could combine a few for some kind of mafia/yakuza leader/leader's son x escort/debtor's daughter type rp. Honestly craving that kind of rp very badly right now, so if you're down, let me know! I enjoy details, multiple characters, and npcs, as well as the slow burns and trials and tribulations that come with an rp. My most recent writing samples are within my "recent activity" tab, if you're curious about my writing style. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hey!

I'm at work so I'm apologizing now for any typos. However, a little known fact about me is that I was in an international judo tournament in Japan when I was twelve! It was a ton of fun.

As for my writing style: I write in 3rd person past tense, have absolutely no problem with multiple mains or gender of said mains, and I can write quite a bit. I'd be willing to provide a sample of multiple mains as well because I completely understand the worry about not getting as much in doubles from the other person with some mains.

As for things I was interested in of yours? Uh, well, a lot. Aha. But if having to narrow down: Harry Potter, the bodyguard, it's just a myth, the friends, freaked out by who they are, moral qualm, and their love was supposed to be fake.

hello! i’m evelyn (call me evelyn / eve / glossy / whatever you want!). i’m online a lot and can typically answer daily. my favorite genres are crime, angst & romance, and i liked a lot of your ideas! you will always get atleast three paragraphs from me (usually more), and i like detail & spicy plot twists. i prefer pms over threads.

— the friends with benefits idea & we’re just friends
— they are straight-up enemies
— they did each other wrong in the past
— one of them is promised to someone else
— their love was supposed to be fake

i would love to do any of those with a possible twist of crime (think gangs, mafias & arranges marriages or so?)
