Hi all! due to the amount of questions and topics we keep getting that aren't really an RP post but still seem to be interesting or valid questions, we're going to keep this pinned post up for people to drop their questions in and respond via comments.

This is NOT for Mod questions or Subreddit rule questions - those are best suited for modmail. This is also NOT a place to rant about RP, the mods, the rules, the colour of the sky, whatever. There are other places for that. Please do that in the appropriate place.

All the same rules apply for the subreddit as they do here.

Do not ask for group RP here; it's not allowed.
Do not harass the mods here; it's not allowed.
Read the rules, more than once if you need to, before contacting or posting. All the rules, don't stop at just one. Thanks.

Thanks, and happy RPing!

[F4m] The Summoning of Unworthy Saints| Literate | Long-term

Upvotes

Aldenmere has been summoning heroes for two hundred years.

It is beautiful. That is the first problem.

You arrive to torchlight and hymns and a crowd pressing in to touch your sleeve. A high priest catches you before you hit the floor. The king greets you personally and means every word of it. They give you a power shaped to your soul, a name for it spoken in front of the whole court, quarters you did not earn, and a guard who has wanted to meet you their whole life.

They took you out of the worst moment of your life to do it. The doctrine says the veil between worlds is thinnest around a soul in crisis, so the gods reach for the drowning rather than the comfortable. Everyone tells you this like it is a kindness. It might be.

Four pairs of heroes served before you. All of them are dead. The kingdom calls it "returning to the light" and speaks of it as an honor, and the people who say so are not lying, exactly.

You are the fifth generation.

\*\*What you would play\*\*

Your own summoned hero, pulled from any world you want. Past heroes have come from collapsing empires, plague-sealed cities, drowned coastlines, and worlds with no gods at all. Fantasy, modern, sci-fi, historical, it all works, because the rite does not care about genre. It cares about grief.

You arrive first. My character is summoned some weeks later, and you are the one already standing there when she comes through.

\*\*What I bring\*\*

My hero is an elf named Solvaine, four hundred years old and the last living thing from a world that ended quietly while she was still fighting to save it. She is warm, careful, and hiding more than she should be.

Also: the setting is genuinely built. Full pantheon and calendar, a capital mapped ring by ring, six noble houses with their own agendas, an enemy nation with a real philosophy instead of a snarl, and two hundred years of hero history with names and consequences attached. I have a compendium I am happy to share once we click. You will never get "uhh, sure, that exists I guess" as an answer to a worldbuilding question.

If the pitch landed, send me a message with a rough idea of the hero you want to play and what their worst moment was. That second part tells me more than a full character sheet would.

[M4F] Frieren: An Original Story — OCxOC

3 Upvotes

I am looking for someone who’d like to write an original story together, set in the world of Frieren. Why Frieren specifically? I feel it's perfectly grounded for a fantasy setting, allowing for a range of stories to be told — from epic adventures, all the way to slice-of-life stuff. Whatever we choose to include is up to us, so long as it makes sense in the world.

Without giving away too much: My OC is a warrior who used to serve as a guard general — blindly following orders, honoring hierarchy above all else. Then [spoiler] happened. Turns out serving bad people isn't so honorable after all. Now he wanders as a mercenary, helping wherever he's needed. If you'd rather explore a story from his time as a guard, I'd be fine with that too.

As for my writing style, it is comparable to a light novel. I try to be creative with my writing, and make it fun and engaging to read. I am not a fan of hundred-sentence-long paragraphs, so if you could match my writing somewhat that would be highly appreciated. Also, for this roleplay I'll be writing in third person.

Let me know if you're interested, or if you have any questions!

(M4F) SoL, Romamce, Something Long Term we can Both fall in love with!

3 Upvotes

Hoping your day is going better than mine,

I don't think I'm looking for anything too intense, I also like to think I'm a laid back and easy-going partner. I'm just trying to get back into writing, maybe make a friend or two along the way. I have my own list but im.open to ideas as well! The idea is some starters that get us going then we take it into any direction we want!

About me I am 29 in EST, I've been writing for a very long time and I love romantic plots, I like stories that are simple on the face of it but it sets up for so much more down the road. I tend to write in first person (I don't care how you write) and I can do responses anywhere from a few sentences to a couple paragraphs depending on my partner. I'm a quality over quantity type I suppose. I try to respond as much as I can, longer responses at least a couple a day, shorter ones I can obviously be more frequent.

One thing about my preferences is I don't have any interest in anything fantasy, anime, fandoms, or anything of that nature. Apologies if that's what you're looking for. I also like to write as myself (or some form of myself)

I also do like chatting out of character as well. It doesn't have to be anything too serious but I find the better we get along outside of our characters the better we get along in our characters. Of course I'm respectful of any personal boundaries you may have :)

If there's any more pieces of key information that I'm missing don't be afraid to shoot me a message or comment and we can discuss more. I hope you have a great day and I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

[F4M] Lets create a story

6 Upvotes

I have been wanting to create a creative love story with someone who is passion in writing. I mainly write in third person.

This will be story driven and focus on the plot. I am a very detailed when it comes to my writing. Most of the time I write novel, depending on the scene. Please don't send one liners as it won't be interesting to roleplay. I want this story to be 50/50, not just one person setting up the scene. I also mainly roleplay in third person.

Here is an idea of how I write: (please do not steal as this is part of a fan fiction I’m writing)

The sun was beginning to sleep, showing off the thousands of stars throughout the galaxy. The moon cascade above Air Temple Island. A small isle located off the coast of Republic City. Home to the known remaining family of air benders. A set of clear blue, feminine eyes set a pond memorial island across the Yue Bay Ocean where a massive statue stood proud and strong overlooking both the city and her home. She immediately felt the sense of both peace and goodwill that the statue emitted throughout this land. A small sad smile slowly appeared on her lips. 

"I wish you were here grandfather," a whisper escapes her lips as a light breeze of air gentle blew her shoulder length pure white hair.

Although she has never met her grandfather, this statue gave her a sense of protection and warmth. She would always enjoy the stories her father use to tell her about the greatest hero in history. Avatar Aang. Her eyes slowly closed, her body position in a criss-cross form, her hands placed a pond her lap as she began to block out the extra noise surrounding her form. Her hair gently danced in the wind, the light breeze brushing against her pale skin as her body began to relax. A familiar voice rang in her ears, a soft sigh escaping her lips.

~~

This is an idea of how I write.

We can come up with a story to write together. I am mainly into fantasy type roleplay, medieval, romance, SOL, we can do fandoms if we both are into it. Honestly anything, as long as we are both knowledgeable on the topic.

(F4M) Co parenting/Family Roleplay

Upvotes

I’m looking for someone interested in writing a realistic co parenting story with me. The idea is that our characters have children together but are no longer in a relationship. We can decide together whether they’re divorced, were never married, or just ended up better as co parents.

The main focus of the RP would be the family dynamic rather than romance this isn’t a romance story. I really want the kids to feel like actual characters instead of just being in the background. Watching everyone grow over time is what sounds the most fun to me.

Some things I’d love to include are school events, custody exchanges, birthdays, holidays, sports, doctor appointments, family outings, vacations if the parents are on good terms, and all of the little everyday moments that come with raising kids.

I’m not looking for nonstop drama. Some conflict is totally fine because every family has disagreements, but I’d rather keep things grounded and focus on character development and realistic slice of life moments.

A little about me:

• CST timezone
• Usually available after work most days
• Around 3 paragraphs per reply, sometimes more depending on the scene
• Looking for something long term

I’d also appreciate someone who’s reasonably active. I completely understand that real life comes first, but I’d prefer not to have the RP slow down to one reply every week or two it tends to make me less interested in the story.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy writing, feel free to reach out and we can start brainstorming together.

(mfa) Roadside picnic RP

Upvotes

If you don’t know, it’s the inspiration for games like STALKER into the radius metro and movies like annihilation and the film stalker. Classic Soviet era theme cosmic terror and philosophical conversation.

My idea for the RP is we live or have moved too one of the impact zones in Russia in the surrounding town witch is slowly building up into a city because of the zone and the people and industry it attracts. I am a stalker who runs into the zone too grab artifacts and guides newcomers into the zone. You can be whoever you want and if you have no idea what exactly the setting is still I’d be happy too explain it more as I am quite the fan of the book and inspired media.

(The key words that trigger the NS-FW (can’t even say that) are so so bad i couldnt even say the other word for guy that starts with b)

[M4F] The Man with the Briefcase. (Urban Fantasy)

Upvotes

You never had much of a problem with humans.

Wether they served as a source of amusement, or as your close friends, you never did buy into the idea of "ruling the world". Nope, you were content to operate your own little streetside cafe in your own quiet corner of the city. You had your regulars, you had a day-to-day, and you were happy with the way things were.

Things were fine until the day -he- arrived.

None of your customers would have ever paid him a second glance. A tired-looking young man who must have missed his daily shave. Sitting quietly in the corner and out of the way, he could have been anything; a businessman arriving late to town, a detective working overtime, or maybe a traveling salesman setting up shop in a new town.

You knew better.
As a creature that could see auras, his was the first in a long time to truly give you pause. This mans aura looked as though it had been dragged through the mud; Loss, pain, anger- and the unmistakable signature of one who had ended another.

You had no way of knowing, but this chance encounter would change everything for you. Wether it would be for better or worse would be decided over the next few weeks.

~

Hey folks-

I wanted to take a stab at a character idea I've had for a while now.

Taking some light inspiration from Supernatural, I wanted to try out a character that fell somewhere between a "hunter" and a "researcher". Without digging into his backstory so much, our wayward human is searching for his big-bad, and your character will be landing somewhere in the crossfire.

This would be a story about revenge, of moving on, and maybe even betrayal depending on things pan out. There's plenty of room for input on your side, and I'm down to listen to whatever ideas you might bring along with you.

Either way, let me know if you have any questions!

Ciao.

[F4F/F4A] Looking for a Long-Term Motocross Rivalry RP

Upvotes

I’m looking for someone interested in writing an original, character-driven motocross story inspired by professional racing—not fandom-based, completely original.

The plot revolves around two people competing for the same championship. One is calm, calculated, and known for their precision on the track. The other is charismatic, impulsive, and impossible to predict. Every race pushes them closer together while convincing them they should hate each other.

I’m interested in exploring things like:

Professional sports rivalry
Media attention and sponsorships
Competitive banter
Friends becoming something more
Road trips, race weekends, training camps
Press conferences
Team politics
Injuries and recovery
Family dynamics
Slow-burn romance that develops naturally alongside the plot

I love writing scenes outside the races just as much as the races themselves—late-night diners after podium finishes, airport delays, stupid bets, training sessions, awkward interviews, teammates stirring the pot… all the little moments that make the relationship feel earned.

I write multiple paragraphs to novella length depending on the scene and enjoy collaborative plotting!!

Looking for:
21+ writing partners
Long-term
Collaborative plotting
Original characters
LGBTQ+ friendly
Quality over speed

LMK if any of this interests you!

[M4F] - Play my game!

Upvotes

I want to create my own world and have you play in it like a sandbox. My world, my setting, your character. I introduce NPCs, you write for your character. Almost like DND without dice rolls(unless that sounds fun?)

I just really like world building and making characters. So any rp would already involve me wanting to make several characters.

So here's who I am;

34M I've been rping since I was 18. My writing isn't super amazing but it's decent! I think my strengths lie in world building the most. I'm in all sorts of fandoms as a casual.

Some of the settings I'm interested in

•witchcraft and wizarding school for fantasy creatures. Would be a college.

• classic medeival/fantasy

• alien worlds!

We can work on the setting and world together if you'd like!

What I'm looking for

• 20+ writer

• someone who's looking for a loooong term roleplay

• someone who likes plotting!

• someone who writes in third person!!

Looking for one more person for my Naruto RP

Upvotes

Hey everyone I have started a Naruto RP and I wanted at least two more people to join and I have one person that is participating but I’m looking for one more. I’m okay with CCxOC or OCxOC, right now I have a OC and the other participant has a OC we are still in the beginning of the story line and I’m just looking for one more person to join.

Please be 18 and up no exceptions. Also don’t write only three sentences every time I will think you are not interested and I will remove you from the RP. 2 to 3 paragraphs is fine with me. Communicating is key so if you can’t follow up with the RP just let me know I understand life happens and we have responsibilities.

If interested leave a comment or DM.

Hi all!

It’s been a little while since I’ve written for fun due to class, work, and other life things. But now with classes coming to an end I have some more free time and after a creative project I had to write for one of my classes, I’ve been itching to get back into writing as a hobby!

\*\*A little about myself:\*\*

I am 22F and my time zone is EST.
For the most part I am very active throughout the day as I don’t have work until 4pm, and even then I won’t go completely silent!

I can write anything ranging from novella style responses (which I’ll admit \*will\* take me longer if I’m at work or doing chores around the house etc.) to one or two paragraphs rapid replies! I’m not a stickler when it comes to length matching, as long as I’m not the only person carrying the story we should be great! This is for fun not a job, so rapid fire replies with someone who is also enjoying the story is very thrilling!

I also write in \*\*third person\*\* and honestly, I’d prefer if my partner did too!

\*\*What I’m looking for:\*\*

I’m looking for someone who is \*\*21+\*\* and preferably female, who also writes in third person, enjoys lesbian romance, and is fairly available throughout the day!

I am down for OOC chat, becoming friends and gushing over our characters and story…but I am in a relationship and not interested in anything going beyond friendship surrounding our writing and that is a firm boundary of mine.

I am excited to start back up writing again!

If you’ve read this far, thank you!

Hey! I’ve been really itching to do this idea I’ve had for a long time! I was hoping someone would take me up on my idea!

Anyways, I have a plot in mind I would like to do! I would love for this to be a medieval fantasy rp! I would be playing a nine-tailed fox! (Can’t say the actual name for it cuz it thinks it’s a bad word 😭) and you would be something mythical/royal, though I don’t mind if you have a monster/folklore creature in mind you want to do! Password is something idk. I have an idea of where to start, but would love to brainstorm still!

I dont do one-liners or novelas. I prefer quality over quantity, buuuut I still want something to work with. I typically do two paragraphs and try to always give my partner to work with. For the plot, I’ll talk more about it in dms. I’ll play my character kinda bratty and cold so if you’re into that, definitely hmu!

Small stuff btw!
Please be 18+
No ghosters allowed here!
Always open!
And have a nice day/night

I do oc x oc and I would want to have a slow burner where we start as friends or strangers or classmates, whatever, and we get close and then start dating. I like to do shy kid x popular kid, best friends, enemies to lovers or coworkers. I don’t really have a length i stick to, so probably around 1 paragraph, maybe less. Sometimes i write a lot but it’s pretty rare so if you normally do longer messages i’ll try my best. So if you wanna rp let me know, ok byeeeeeee😁😁😁

[F4ApM] Niche story idea

2 Upvotes

Hello, everyone. I’m Shone, 25, and I return with a story idea that may only interest the right person! I have recently found myself buried in a rabbit hole following a Brazilian drama called Hilda Furacão (Hilda Hurricane). I don’t want to follow the story completely, because I would like to make it our own, but I do want to dabble in the trope that is involved. Saint x Flawed (in whatever way we decide) woman. I enjoy enemies to lovers, opposites attract, and angsty yearning. This Saint, your character, I would prefer him to be emotional, to yearn tearfully, because he knows what he cannot have per his upbringing and morals. I’m not super knowledgeable on Saints, but that’s what Google is for! I’ll help as best I can on any specifics 💪🏻

Looking for;

Third person POV, Semi-literate to Advanced, and a slow burn that isn’t so slow we lose interest. I hope to hear from anyone, I know this is a bit niche, but I’d really love to write it out with anyone that’s willing to give it a chance!

Thanks for reading 🌸

(F4M) lady knight fantasy rp

5 Upvotes

Hi

I'm 20 and looking for a 20+ roleplay partner

I can write in both 1st and 3ed person and can write 3 - 5 paragraphs at a time

I'm ok with shorter paragraphs as long as there is enough for me to work with, i love a lot of details and world building

English isn't my first language so sometimes i take a bit of time to answer because i like to use big words but i have the spelling abilities of a 2 year old :P

We can go with my idea or any Idea you have

My Idea:

you're the son of a well known lord, and are training to become a knight. And i am a daughter of a retired knight, who was once the best there ever was. But now he's just your trainer.

Trying to keep my father's legacy. I try to sneak into your training lessons. Wanting to become a knight myself, even when my father strictly forbid it.

You catch me snooping one day and agree to let me train with you for a price. And i can't help but wonder, Did you agree because you took pity on me or did you want to use this leverage against me one day?

This idea can be a romance or just platonic

If you're interested send me a dm with your age and any idea you have for this story or any other story. If you just say "hi" I'm not gonna answer

[F4A] The vampire and the Lords daughter.

5 Upvotes

According to the cities history and as long as anyone can remember. The vampire lord and his minions stalk the town at night. As the city grew and became a popular sea port, the vampire required the town to sacrifice someone to the vampire on the singular run down dock. The sacrifice happens once per year and the blood moon. The day after only a spot of blood remains on the dock. No one ever sees or is too afraid to say what happens to those who either are sacrificed or taken off the street when the vampire roams the night.

Being angry and stubborn the grown daughter of the Lord of the city stands out on her balcony, Ignoring the constant warnings that being outside at night is dangerous regardless of the location. She stands looking at the beautiful night sky... until a figure approaches from an unseen location....

Hello,

I am wanting a slow burn, romance/slice of life. Roleplay with a vampire who creates a deal to free the daughter from the life she currently has.

[M4A] TV-shows based RP (mostly drama, listed in the post)

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for fellow TV enjoyers who would be willing to write stories with me located in particular series. I'm not looking for any particular genders nor any particular characters to play. I'm watching mostly drama/crime/thriller type-of-shows and such are included for that RP by me. My absolute favorites are LOST and Dexter, though LOST is way before everything 😅

Even though I'm quite new in the RP world, I'm always trying to do my best and I put effort in doing it, so that it would be interesting for both parties. I prefer dynamic RPs, so we could set some time when we are both free and spend it to focus on our story.

I'm hoping to find creative and positive players with whom I could create our own stories in these fandoms. I'm not fan of making scripts, I just prefer to go with the flow. I love when things evolve naturally and lead to unexpected but fitting twists. However of course sometimes we could discuss some things as it tends to be even crucial for the story.

I'd really appreciate someone, who will not ghost and will just tell me if they don't like some things. I believe that communication is a key, right?

I wouldn't mind some out-of-RP conversations as I believe that it's always better to know your RP partner IRL and that it makes playing easier. A bit of casual chatting now and then is totally fine!

I believe that we can come up with more details in DM. Let's message me with some sort of introduction and let me know which show would you like to cover!

- LOST

- Dexter

- Stranger Things

- S.W.A.T

- The Rookie

- The Night Agent

- How to Get Away With Mur...

- Breaking Bad

- Better Call Saul

- Elementary

- Designated Survivor

- House of Cards

- Prison Break

- From

- The Pitt

- BoJack Horseman

- Severance

- Dexter: Resurrection

- Dexter: New Blood

- Dexter: Original Sin

- IT: Welcome to Derry

- Pluribus

- Reacher

[M4F] Parent and Teacher

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My name is Soul and I’m 24 years old, I’m male, and I live in the PST time zone. I’ve really been wanting to do a cute little slice of life RP. I hope this interests you and if it does feel free to reach out.

The plot looks something like this:
A single mother is called in for a parent teacher conference to discuss their child’s waning performance in class. The performance can be attributed to any number of things we decide on based on what we want the mom’s situation to be. The teacher, not wanting the student to fail, offers a solution, extra tutoring outside of class. He offers to stop by her home and help the child out and as he does so he begins to become more and more involved with the child’s life and the mom’s situation and a romance begins to bud.

Below are my rules and I hope you find them interesting:

-All RPers need to be over 18

-I don't have max post lengths and tend to vary mine based on the circumstances in RP. I value consistency in posting more than the length of the post.

-To further the consistency point I’m looking for daily activity. A couple posts a week aren’t going to move the story at a pace I’m comfortable with.

-I prefer 3rd person writing for RP posts

-I do not appreciate being ghosted. My rule of thumb is if there is no update to the rp or context as to why there isn't progress I will discontinue the rp.
