One-On-One Reaper Story (w/ Romance)

That’s fine! Will they be ready within an hour or two?

hhhhhhhhhhh
hopefully
I'll do my best

Alright, I just spent a little less than an hour on mine. What do you think?

Name- Valen (Val) Inovich
Age- Technically 44, but looks around 23 or 24 years old.
Gender(s)/Romantic or Sexual Type- He’s a cisgender male that’s demisexual and panromantic (will date anyone but is only sexually attracted to people he loves).
Looks- Valen is fair-skinned with neat blonde hair so pale it’s near white, eyes of a shockingly rich gold with deeper chocolate hues near the pupils, and a strong, fine jawline. He’s got startlingly long, curled eyelashes and not a freckle in sight. His body is slender, yet there is definitely some muscle definition there. He stands about 6’2”. Val’s ears aren’t pierced, he doesn’t have any bodily markings like tattoos, he always keeps his face shaved, and he wears simple black glasses when reading.
Typical Style- He usually dons something elegantly professional when appearing before the Conseil, like a black suit jacket over a very dark gray vest, crisp white shirt, and black dress pants. In this outfit he’ll most often bring a crimson, black, gray, or steel blue tie to match. When he’s undercover he’ll wear whatever he needs to, but he casually appears in a more simple version of his Conseil attire. This usually includes a tailcoat of some kind, or a freshly ironed shirt with very nice cuff links and a waistcoat.
Job(s)- He’s a Soul Hunter, which is basically just a term for a reaper that chases down people who’ve cheated or are in the process of running away from death, for the Conseil de la Mort.
Basic Personality- Valen is polite. That’s one of the only things anyone can say about him—he moves around too much and is far too professional to get involved in much. While other reapers may take occasional breaks between jobs, he’s been working hard for almost all of his life. He may seem cold or crude to those who like to laugh loudly and tell jokes, but he’s never been fond of groups anyway. Rumors surrounding him say that he’s efficient, boring, mysterious, unkind, and, the one most often told, terribly antisocial.
Pet(s)- A jet black, blind dog with shining white eyes named Onisk is the one that usually follows him around the most, but he also has a hawk named Shishiev (Shishi).
Family- His mother and father both passed away, the former in 2009 and the latter in 2016. All that’s left of his family is his younger sister, Annika, who knows almost nothing about his job. They have dinner together every few days when possible.
Reaper Weapon- A Russian shashka saber with worn ivory patterns on the wooden hilt.
Extra- He had a carriage once but gave it back to the Conseil when first assigned to go undercover in fear that it’d give him away to those he was hunting. Val’s been in only three relationships in his life, but neither lasted. He has two friends, Jay and Marina, that look after him very closely, despite his busyness. Jay is a reaper; Mari’s a human that just turned 22.

I fell asleep again on accident, sorry!

no it's fine so did I haha

Have you done more work on your character?

No… I woke up at noon and had a pretty crazy morning, I'm sorry

That’s fine! Don’t rush doing it or anything. Do you think there’s any possible way you’ll have them done by tonight?

Yep! I've got the idea of her, I just have to work out the details

Great! I don’t know if mine was good or not in term of details. If you think I need more, or if you want me to clarify anything, please inform me!

Yours is actually very thorough, mine probably won't even come close to that haha

Thank you! I was worried he might be a little vague because I didn’t spend as much time on him as I could have. I’m really kind of new to this, you see, and don’t need know fully what qualifies as good. Don’t worry about making yours overly detailed or anything.

That's alright. It really depends on the person. Some people don't even like to use templates.

I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t at least know what the other character looked like! That’d make things so difficult, wouldn’t it?

Yeah lol, but some people just want to get into something that revolves around emotions, and I'm fine with that as long as I at least get the character's name, skin color, hair, and gender. I prefer templates though haha

Do you want our story to delve immediately into an emotional situation? It might be more satisfying to build the story up first with hints of romance and then go for it harder later on (while still keeping story elements, of course).

I'd rather build it up first. It definitely makes it more satisfying, and gives the roleplay more of a novel/book feeling. Although I have to warn you, tomorrow school is going to start up again so I might disappear for days or weeks at a time if I have a lot of school work.

Also, I'm not sure if we've talked about this, but would you prefer a boy/boy or a girl/girl relationship?

Weeks at a time? Yikes! School for me is in a couple of days as well, but I’ll try my best to keep a regular ish schedule. I agree with what you said about the more book/novel feel, though.

My character that’s already on here is a guy, but he’s also panromantic so the gender of yours is up to you.

I meant girl/guy sorry lol that was a typo

And yeah, I can get pretty swamped with school work and keeping up with house chores. I'm the oldest child, so I've got a lot of responsibilities.

Okay. Don’t worry about replying if you can’t! I’m just excited to get into the whole thing, even if it takes a bit.

Alright, thank you :)

Can you please send me a blank template? I've got most of my character kinda worked out in my head, I just have to write it all down now

Name-
Age-
Gender(s)/Romantic or Sexual Type-
Looks- (eye color/hair details/approximate height/skin color/anything you like about them or find important/details like freckles or scars/etc.)
Typical Style- (clothes they’d normally wear)
Job(s)- (I think some reapers could disguise as human and get human jobs as well as their normal one if desired)
Basic Personality- (what they normally act like/anything you think is interesting)
Pet(s)- (if any)
Family- (if any/names/ages)
Reaper Weapon-
Extra- (anything else you’d like to put, maybe like likes/dislikes or something)

Here’s the one I used. Do you want me to clear out all the details, or is that fine?

Nope that's fine, thank you!

I’m so excited! Maybe we can even start tonight!!!

Name- Zora Adkins
Age- 51, looks like she's in her mid-twenties
Gender(s)/Romantic or Sexual Type- Bisexual
Looks- Very dark brown almond shaped eyes, medium dark skin (I'm terrible at describing skin tones lol sorry), a few dark spots and freckles on her face, long hair that's naturally thick with tight curls but it's almost always worn in braids/cornrows, pretty short (about 5'5), thin but with light muscle, has a small but noticeable scar above her right eyebrow, but she never talks about it. It's not something she's proud of.
Typical Style- Usually wears loose button ups tucked into her jeans with either flats or regular sneakers, sometimes wears a suit if she's feeling formal. When she's comfortable she'll wear baggy sweats and a tank top/t-shirt.
Job(s)- She takes souls from humans, then protects and guides the souls to the underworld and is responsible for making sure they get there safely. Works for the suicide prevention lifeline as a human (she doesn't like taking souls, and she tries to save as many lives as she can to make up for the amount she takes)
Basic Personality- Zora is extremely harsh and brutally honest when you first talk to her. Her face is almost always void of any emotion other than possible irritation, and she keeps things strictly professional when working. She completely dodges any personal questions/discussions when doing work. However, she does have human friends (who don't know she's a reaper), and around them she allows herself to smile and relax, but she's still the same with her brutal honesty, but she means well when she's with friends.
Pet(s)- None, but she's been considering getting an African Grey parrot, or possibly a cat.
Family- She abandoned her parents at 19 and never contacted them after that. She has no idea if they're dead or alive. She has no siblings.
Reaper Weapon- an iron glaive with a very elaborate blade and grip, but everything else is simple.
Extra- She's only been in 4 relationships in her life (plus the occasional hook ups), but none of them lasted any longer than a few years. She isn't interested in dating at all. She's also extremely ticklish and doesn't like chicken, fish, or coffee.

She sounds really cool! I forgot to mention that Valen works in a pop up coffee shop to pass the time time. It travels around a lot to promote the brand. So, what should the scenario be?

I’m thinking maybe they should run into one another on a job, like he’s chasing down someone through the streets at night and runs into Zora, who insists that the person just needs to be given a second chance at peacefully having their soul taken with her.
