Charade Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I know you've all heard the cliche "new to this site, not new too roleplaying," so hearing it once again probably shouldn't kill you. I am new to this site. And I am not new to roleplaying. (Crazy, right??) Any who, I figured I might as well make a recruitment thread, so before I go onto my horrendously unoriginal plots, there are some things I need to get out of the way first. Many things. What I Need In An RP Partner • Decent grammar. Spelling mistakes every now and then are fine, but if you wouldn't speak that moronically, then DON'T TYPE THAT WAY. If your sentence structure makes zero sense, I will lose my mind and we just can't let that happen. • Paragraphs. I love 'em. Lots and lots of words are my fetish. That being said, I don't appreciate walls of text when our characters are conversing, mainly if a question has been asked. I know you're interrupting me. Stop it. (I should clarify: I don't care if it's just a bunch of statements. But don't ask my character something and then go on to say something else and then go on to say something else AND THEN GO ON TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE because in reality, people don't say, "How are you? Oh, I love your shirt. Damn, I gotta go, I'll see you later," then in response, "Good, you? Thanks, it was a present from my mom. Alright, later!" THEY DON'T.) • Punctuation. Oh yes, punctuation. I am an ENORMOUS jackass when it comes to shitty punctuating skills because the difference between a period and an exclamation mark can make so much of a difference. (Example: "What." "What?" "What!" "What?!" "What...") I don't care if you use a punctuation mark that isn't grammatically correct in dialogue, if it's to show how the character's tone is, just... please. Punctuate your sentences. • Planning. I don't like jumping right into a roleplay. I don't like plot holes. And I don't like to power play, because it makes me feel weird. I will ask a lot of questions before and probably during the RP, because I don't want to have to assume anything. At all. (That being said, I honestly don't care that much if you throw a curve ball my way. It would be absolutely pointless if EVERYTHING was planned out -- I just need to know everything my character would know so I don't have to make shit up that could have absolutely nothing to do with it. I don't know.) Things That Will Give Me The Figurative Blood Lust • Incest. In ANY way, I don't care if they're step-whatevers, 5th cousins 7 times removed, or straight up siblings -- it ain't happening. That shit grosses me out, and I just can't do it. • Bestiality. Another thing that is just beyond wrong to me. I really can't even do anything that involves werewolves or whatever. (I can deal with nekos/kitsunes/whatnot, but send a full fledged animal my way and I'll lose it. I know. I'm a prude.) • Toilet things. I believe this is self-explanatory and there will be no attempt to sway me otherwise. If you seriously read through all of that, then congratulations, you have passed the test. Now we can go onto plots. Still thinking of a title for this one... But I'm really craving it. The year is 1926. YC was born and raised in a small, rural town with his parents. Because of a small mishap, YC was sent to the big city to live with his religious uncle for the summer, so he could learn some good ol' Christian morals. When he steps off the train, however, he is greeted by MC -- his uncle's right hand man. How that happened is unbeknownst to YC, as MC and his uncle could not be more different. Nonetheless, MC drives YC to his uncle's house, then leaves, while the uncle lays down the law with YC. He is to never leave without his uncle's permission, and will be spending almost all of his time working at his uncle's shop. YC verbally agrees to this, but of course, rebels against it, and goes out when his uncle is asleep. He meets a man in an alley, and after a short conversation, follows him to a speakeasy. YC is fascinated by everything he sees inside, and proceeds to dance, drink, and socialize, that is until, he notices MC. When he sees the other, he figures that he must be some kind of crook, because nobody that hung out in a speakeasy would have anything to do with YC's uncle... right? Nevertheless, YC approaches him, and decides that it would be fun to flirt. MC plays along, until he is told of a disturbing phone call. YC's uncle has been shot, and is in the hospital. So MC rushes YC to the hospital, where they speak to YC's uncle. YC asks his uncle why everyone at the bar was so concerned for him, and his uncle, reluctantly, gives him the truth. He owns the speakeasy. And, since he is in no condition to run it, he, equally reluctantly, leaves YC in charge, only with the help of MC. The two run the speakeasy together, with plenty of playful flirting -- at least, that's what YC thinks it is. Little does he know that MC, who is fairly well known for messing around, has fallen hard for him. Firefly I'm not big on roleplaying fandoms, but I've always wanted to do a Jayne x Simon or even Jayne x Malcolm. If you've never seen Firefly, it's basically about futuristic space cowboy/pirates (see now, it sounds stupid when I say it, just trust me that it's good) and if you have seen it, then we should totally do a Jayne x someone RP. I have more, but it's late and my mind has turned to soup. So I'll add them later. Pairings That I'm Craving • Teacher x Student • Thief x Prince • Ship Captain x Stowaway • Artist x Muse • "Master" x Maid • Master x Slave So if you would like to do any of these (or have a totally unrelated idea of your own, that's fine too), feel free to PM me. Or post here. But I won't check here as regularly. Probably. The point is, just let me know. And if you want to just vibe and come up with something together, that also works. Peace.

Charade Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. : Okay, so... Just hear me out. YC is the son of the king in some country (England, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, some made up country, whatever you choose, but the setting does play a big part in the story), and even though he tries his hardest to make his father proud so he can one day succeed him, the King refuses to let him in on anything, and even straight up ignores him from time to time. This makes YC beyond irritated, so in spite of his father, he leaves the castle/palace/whatever, and wonders the streets. He sees all kinds of amazing things that he never witnessed in the security of the castle/palace/whatever, and thoroughly enjoys himself, until he sees his father doing business with several shady men. The King pleads for more time, saying he'll have the money, but the men don't care, and murder him right there, when they notice YC. YC is virtually helpless, until MC comes running out of nowhere and saves him, bringing him to a strange place (we can work out what kind of place later). Immediately YC thanks him, thinking he's some sort of virtuous hero, but MC just laughs in his face, stating there is no way he would do something like that without expecting something in return. He kidnaps YC, and the kingdom is left in chaos after the murder of the King and disappearance of the Prince. Then... some other stuff happens, et cetera, et cetera. xD How does that sound to you?

Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. : I was thinking America, because Prohibition plays pretty heavily into the plot, and honestly, I don't know what was going on anywhere else in the 20's. xD Do you know what town you want your character to be from? And the city he moves to, where the city takes place, do you have any ideas on that? I'm pretty sure that Chicago and San Francisco were both fairly big during that time. Maybe NYC, too? I dunno.

~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~ Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Anyways, here is my character Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. hope you like him: General Information: Name: Jasper Felix Wesley N/N: Felix Age: 17, almost 18 Birthday: July 13th Ethnicity: Caucasian Home Country: United States (His mother is British, having moved to America from London, England. Because of this, Jasper has a very slight British accent) Gender: Male Sexual Orientation: Presumed Straight/Isn't Sure Position: Uke Appearance: Height: 5' 6" Weight: 122 lbs Eyes: A dark honey gold color, with a greenish tint, making his eyes almost olive in color. Has long dark brown/black eyelashes, and dark brown curved eyebrows Hair: Has medium-short length blonde straight hair. His bangs are longer than the rest of his hair, which often falls over his eyes. Skin: Smooth skin, a dark ivory in color, and tans easily Markings/Scars/Tattoos/Etc: Has a scar on the bottom of his left foot, a set of three long scars on his right forearm from being scratched by a cat, and a weird heart shaped birthmark at the base/bottom of his spine, located just above his buttocks Clothing: Usually wears white shirts, long sleeved, elbow length, or short sleeved, collared or not, a vest, cardigan or sweater over the shirt, of any design and color, tan, khaki, brown or black pants/shorts with a darker brown belt, socks either white, or any shade of brown or tan, and brown loafers or boots that lace up Other noticeable markings, clothing, etc: Is always seen wearing a pair of white gloves, and a light brown paperboy cap. Also has some sort of bruise or scratch on him almost constantly. Personality: Is a bright individual, with a smile on his face and curiosity in his heart. He's always eager to learn new things, and loves any kind of adventure. He's kind, caring, a bit on the naive side, and way too overly trusting, often getting into troubling situations because of this. However, oddly enough, he's a natural when it comes to gambling or anything of that sort, as he's quite smart, and can fool just about anyone. He's definitely a trickster, and enjoys to play pranks on people. Even though he's usually a happy person, there are times when he gets down in the dumps, and it takes a while to get back to normal. And when he's angry, you don't want to mess with him, just steer clear and keep walking. You don't want to see what would happen if you didn't leave him be. Saying: "Maybe it's just me, but there is just something so beautiful about the city at night. The lights, the people hurrying to get home to their families, the sounds that fill the air. Or maybe... is it the stars I see shining in your eyes, reflecting from the sky up above? I don't know, but whatever it is, I don't ever want to forget this place." Brief History: Grew up in McHenry, with his mom and dad. Lived a pretty normal life, getting into a bit of trouble every now and then, though nothing major. However, was sent to live with his Uncle Lucas, who lived in the city of Chicago, when something came up and he couldn't stay at home. Likes: √ Chocolate √ Adventure/Trying new things √ Reading (he likes any genre, but of course adventure books are his favorite) √ Card Games √ Sneaking out of the house Dislikes: × Bitter things, excluding coffee, but only if it's got lots of sugar in it × Having to do chores × Going a day without reading × Getting in trouble × Being cooped up Other: + Has a pet cat named Tricks. It's black and white, with green eyes. Brought Tricks with. + Has a pet dog named Riley, a small husky/border collie mix. Had to leave Riley behind. + Loves to write + Has a part time job as an errand boy (for now) + Wants to travel to another country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charade Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 General Information Name: Vincenzo Leoni Nickname: Vince Age: 25 Birthday: August 29th Ethnicity: Italian-American Home Country: United States Gender: Male Orientation: Presumably straight, but enjoys flirting with anyone. Position: Seme Appearance Height: 6'6 in Weight: 217 lbs Eyes: Very dark green, with gold specks around the pupil and a blue outline of the iris. Semi-thick and angled brown eyebrows. Hair: Chin length, messy brown hair, which he usually slicks back when in public. Skin: Somewhat tan, olive skin. Markings/Scars/Tattoos/Etc: Several healed stabs wound across his chest, very old whip scars on his back, and a cigarette burn on his left thigh. Clothing: Wears black and brown pinstripe vests over a white button up, with red and blue ties, respectively. Black dress shoes, and a black or brown fedora. (I might be obsessed with this clothing arrangement. xD) Other: Wears a gold watch and a small locket, which is tucked under his shirt at all times. Personality: With his short temper and recklessly impulsive decisions, Vincenzo often finds himself in some kind of conflict, being at fault a good 60% of the time. Even though the smallest thing can send him into a rage, he is very protective over the ones he loves, and will find for them even harder than he fights for himself. Which, admittedly, can be a problem, as he has jealously like no other. He's cut men over a one night stand -- for the love of everything good and holy, you'd better pray he doesn't fall in love with you. Still, there is a softer side to the notorious Vincenzo Leoni, that very few people have seen. He has compassion for almost everyone, and even though he is constantly getting into fights, he has a very strict rule of never hitting women, children, animals, or anyone under 5'10. He'll help out anyone in need -- as long as they don't mind the occasionally obscene flirting. He is also very honest, sometimes to the point of being rude, and never hesitates to speak his mind. He's cocky, arrogant, and hot-tempered, but overall a nice guy. Brief History: Vincenzo was born in Chicago, to two Italian immigrants who fled to America in order to escape the Cosa Nostra. When he was only 6, he witnessed both of his parents being murdered, and was sent to a Catholic orphanage, where he met his best friend to this day, Jimmy. The two often caused trouble -- particularly Vincenzo -- which led to corporal punishment and a bad rep. It wasn't until Vince was 14 (and Jimmy was 13) that they decided that had had enough, and ran away. They met a man by the name of Lucas, who would provide them with food, clothing, and shelter, as long as they helped him with his errands. They whole-heartedly agreed, and to this day, the two have been working for Lucas at his speakeasy, Club Lucky, Jimmy as a bartender, and Vince as a bootlegger. Likes √ Whiskey √ Live music √ The city lights √ Poker (even though he's horrible at it) √ His 1926 Pontiac (which he's named Umbriel) Dislikes × People that are too uptight × Irishmen × Catholicism × Taking orders × Boredom Other + Bootlegger at Club Lucky + Has been saving money since he was 18 to go to Europe + Practices shooting with his chrome-plated six shooter + Lives in a small apartment with Jimmy + Plays the saxophone Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. : Sorry it took so long.
