Look, I haven’t roleplayed in a century and I have 11 projects due by Tuesday and fridge I don’t know anymore.
I’m looking for some fresh meat btw, who hopefully has some ideas cuz I’m pretty open(I think, I don’t know anymore) (and yes I learn more towards fantasy, but I’m open, maybe).
And rn, I’m kinda on(if y’all responds) but I’m also working cuz I have a speech tomorrow and need to practice.
Life’s doing broccoli btw.
One On One??

Hallo! I have a character I’d like to flesh out if you’ll have me
Oh sure!
group
Awesome! You mentioned you needed ideas, how do you feel about the 18th century/revolutionary war era?
I’m flexible(not physically), would you elaborate?
(Sorry I took forever, I was writing que cards)
group
(Ahh, no problem!)
I was thinking maybe sometime late in the war or after it, a man who fought in the war comes back home from being returned from having been captured by the opposite side. When he gets home he finds everything at home completely different, and the only thing that’s really the same is his best friend (maybe also fought in the war) who came home with him to help settle him in.
If that makes any sense, lol. I’m pretty flexible with plots too if you want to make any changes
I could try doing this, but I’m not highly educated on this kind of topic so like?? But it sounds totally cool. So if there’s nothing else, then we can do this.
group
Oke doke!
Hmmm what about my character (a journalist who studies botany, specifically interested in trees/plants that survive in the winter) crash lands his plane and is saved by someone from a country that is unknown to the rest of the world but is very similar to it

(Or possibly) A man has been a kingdom’s prisoner for as long as the king has been queen. But when the king dies and the new ruler takes the throne, they demand that the prisoner be taken upstairs for the first time in decades to be shown before them in the throne room. Is it finally time for him to be released?
Fridge dang, you’re full of good ideas. I really like all of them … umm, shiz. I think I’d be better at rping for the second and third ones cuz I haven’t really rped for Victorian era kind of role plays. So like ??? I’m so torn.
group
That’s alright! I’m a little more interested in the 3rd one if that helps choosing between 2 and 3
Okay. Then we can do that one.
I do have to leave soon(aka sleep) btw as I have a lot to do tm. But I’ll still be on as much as I can. My wifi also sucks rn, so don’t worry if I suddenly disappear for 10 hours.
group
No problem, I understand :)
Sorry I disappeared for so long, I debated to respond this morning but I wouldn’t be on long. So, Template? Do you have one you want to use or???
group
Not a problem!)

(Do you want to start? Or should I, like attempt to write a starter?)
group
(I can start)
Atlas sat back in his late father’s chair, coincidentally, the kingdom throne. Though he missed his father deeply, the heavy cloaks and massive crown felt much better than he ever could ever imagine when he was a prince. He rested his arms on the sides of the throne, tapping his fingers on the expensive stone. What would be his first order of business right after his coronation? He thought for a long moment before he remembered, “Arthur!” He called to one of the previous advisors under his father, “How long has that man been in the dungeons?” Of course, for as long as he could remember, the man in the dungeons has always been identified through the less than respectful title “that man”, and everyone understood. That man was the “disgusting wretch” (this name donned to him by the late King) who no one living above the dungeons really ever talked about. Until now when Atlas’ curiosity could finally be satisfied. Now that he was the king.
(Wow… That’s one heck of a starter. I’ll try and respond ASAP, as soon as I have the time.)
group
(Oke doke, all the responses don’t have to be that long I was just setting the scene)
A few remaining flakes of paint were left on the walls of the cell, it might’ve looked ‘nice’ at some point. Maybe this wasn’t always a prison.
Eliza tapped his fingers on the floor, then ran his hand over the shackles around his other wrist.
It felt like it had been an eternity since he got here. He nearly forgot why he was here in the first place.
To pass his time, he thought about who the successor was - the kings child. Through the walls he heard bits of information about the child, him growing up. They said he was happy, a bright wonderful child. Which only meant he wasn’t.
Eliza assumed he was the kind of person who would personally execute you for some random reason.
He also counted down from 1000 by 7’s every once in a while if there was nothing else to do, which there wasn’t. He counted to stop him from going insane. It had been nearly 20 years seen he’d seen the sun and he knew he probably looked like an old hag.
group
The talking upstairs continued, the advisor responding to the new king, “Nearly twenty years, sire.”
“Twenty years..wow.” Atlas lifted a hand to rub his jaw while he thought, “Hm..and he hasn’t been out since?”
“No, your majesty.”
Atlas hm-ed again, “Being ‘im up, I want to finally meet him after all these years..”
The advisor hesitated, then nodded, “Yes, right away..” he turned to inform the guards of the order.
The guards startled at the request, but the two of them loyally went down to the dungeons to retrieve the man who hadn’t been outside in twenty years.
They rattled the cell with shoving the key into the lock, “Wake up, old man, the day’s arrived.”
“May I inquire why I am suddenly being brought out?” Eliza asked after standing to better allow the guards to un-shackle him from the floor.
Their uniforms were much what he remembered but were slightly changed now. Maybe a colour or simple design changed, he couldn’t tell exactly. But, what was definitely different was the feeling in the air now. Eliza thought he was probably right about how ridiculous this king might be. He was sure if he was a friend of the late King he would find him to be a good person.
group
One of the guards unshackled him while the other answered his question, “The King wishes to speak with you, I’m at a loss as to why.”
Once his shackles were opened, they roped his hands behind his back, and shoved him forward. The took his arm and escorted him out of the dungeon, and down the hall towards the throne room. The hall was uncomfortably bright with the natural light streaming in from every massive window. The guards didn’t seem to mind it.
Eliza squinted until he could barely see a thing. He hadn’t seen sunlight like this for a long time and it burned his eyes. The sunlight was warm, warmer than he had ever been all this while.
The immense windows looked cleaner than they once were, so did the floor and the walls.
The interior looked brought together quite well since nearly 2 decades ago.
Despite squinting and having rope rub against his already dying skin, he smiled. He was in sunlight again, he was out of his cell. Even if he was about to be executed, he was happy to not have to die in that cell.
group
Soon enough, they passed through the massive, decorated doors into the throne room where the king sat on his chair. He’d taken off his crown to rest on the stool beside him, but he kept the cloaks hanging over his shoulders, “Bring him in.” He repeated, lifting his head in interest as the doors opened.
The guards shoved Eliza to his knees several feet away from Atlas.
