Hello loves, Villain here. I'll try to keep this short and sweet so we can get to the good stuff. This is more of a returning thing because I've been out of the loop in terms of RP, life happened. Now I'm trying to get back into the swing of things!

About me and what to expect;
---
Very experienced writer/role-player, just about 10-11 years doing it.
I always write in 3rd person.
Fairly active, I can reply daily if work doesn't run me down that day. If anything, 2-3 replies a week.
I'm ditch friendly.
Don't like where the story is going? Boring? Message me and we can start something new or make changes. I'll be more than happy to do so!
Bare minimum, expect 2-3 paragraphs at the least in terms of post/reply length.
I can write male, female, and non-binary characters, depending on what the story calls for.

Story is very important to me.
I can also play multiple characters if need be. I love doing so.
Story over smut, anytime. But I love smut, so it is very much desired.

I do not play canon characters, I do OCs only!
I don't like getting into the noncon stuff like rape, bathroom play or vore.
I'm pretty chill with any pairings but I'm not very good at MxM. Not my thing I guess. I'm fine with FxF if the story is good enough.
Here's my F-List for a more detailed look at what I'm into;

Warning; F-List

If I missed anything, PM me and I'll answer any questions!
Just be sure to ask before assuming! I'd greatly appreciate it!

What I want in a partner;
---
Have good grammar and such. I know we're not perfect so the occasional mistake is fine and dandy.
Try to write a 2 paragraph response at minimum and I'll do the same for you.
At least go over my F-List! It's not a wishlist, but it helps give you an idea of what I prefer.
Participate in the plot development, I want both of us to enjoy the RP.


Now with that over with.. Here's the fun part.

Current Interests;
---

Humanized "Night In The Woods" Based RP
OC's only!
Rekindling old flames
Reconnceting with old friends and seeing how much they had changed

I will accept FxF relationships here
Bonus points if the RP has spooky/paranormal elements to it

You don't have to know the game to do this plot with me. I just liked the vibes of the game and wanted to create a story similar to it but not toatally. Here's a few dynamics I'd like to list off as what I would be totally down to RP in.
A character returns to their hometown after being away for years. Have be a few or up to a decade. Maybe they went to college or their family forced them to move away from the town they grew up in, leaving behind their friends.
Maybe this character had a lover that became an old flame? Did this old flame move on without them or did they wait?
Maybe on of their friends went missing and everyone else has given up hope on fiding them? Maybe they could put reignite that fire and spearhead the idea of solving the mystery.. wait, is there a murder cult here?
So much has happened to the town since they had left. Maybe focus on reconnecting with those they used to know? Is that house down the street still haunted?

D&D styled Original Plot
(Warning; It's a big one lol)

-Violence and/or dark themes are desired.
-Assassin's/Thieves Guild themed
-All pairings are welcome (NB and Futa included) except for MxM, I'm just not very good at them.
-Possible complicated poly relationship(s)
-Open to meddling with Supernatural/Paranormal
-Multiple characters are recommended

In this world, there are many gods and each of them stand up for different aspects. For this story, we're following the assassin's guild, dedicated to a particular goddess for guidance and protection, Calistra.
(Yes, the Pathfinder Goddess. But this can change! I'm just using her as a base for now)
She represents lust, trickery, and revenge. Oh, how she loves revenge! The more extravagant the better! She takes great pleasure in making those who wronged her suffer.

All was well except for a long while, the guild hasn't been.. Prospering. Less successful. What could be wrong? Clerics and the devoted plea with their goddess, asking what they could do to earn her favor once more. She replies that this guild has lost their way and grew soft. Everything seemed.. Bland. Boring. A champion of her choosing will arrive soon and give the guild another chance, and to give them an example of what she wanted. If not, the guild will fall and a new one will take its place.

The entire guild is split on the news. They want to keep their traditions, some even think they can be without the goddess! All they liked was the pay. The rest were willing to throw themselves at the first and only chance the goddess was going to give.

The champion was was then chosen, and everything then comes to a head. There were outcries on why they weren't chosen, those who denied him, and the rest wouldn't follow him.

Only a selected few became his followers.

This began the fall of the guild. A great massacre. The criminal underground just witnessed one of their greatest guilds collapse on itself. Only a few have survived, rising from the ashes to start a new guild reborn. But they can't do it without the champion, they need his guidance as the goddess only speaks to him, for now. Not until the rest prove themselves worthy.
---
For the RP, I'd like to start it off with my character being Champion (most likely male) and the rest being his first few followers. Starting with 3, being the chosen aspects of Calistra, each one resprents Lust, Revenge, and Trickery.

This RP is story focused but can have smut as well, one of my ideas being that the champion could be in a relationship with any of the three followers. Or it could a polygamous relationship. (Although that doesn't mean it's a.. happy, relationship.) Let there be jealousy! Conflict! Competition! This guild wasn't built by nice people.

If you'd like the Goddess herself is also a playable character. (I'm more than happy to break Canon and let her be customized to anyone's liking.) I imagined her relationship with the champion is rather.. Fickle. She teases and enjoys how this man doesn't bow to her every whim, at least, not at first. He's fun to play with. But he also has a bigger plan in the works, and he needs these followers to accomplish his goals. Can he handle them all long enough to do it?
---
That's all I have for now, if you have any questions or have any ideas of your own PM me! I'm open to discuss changes or adding on to what I have here.

My life of trying to teach an Eldrich Horror to be human!
-Eldrich x Human(s) based
(I prefer to be the Eldrich Monster)
-Slice of Life
-Possible Harem if so desired
-NB x F
Stolen from the unknown, this beast was brought here for a reason and that reason is not known. Or maybe it is? Maybe someone got too curious for their own good. Someone wanted to become a God? An artifact was accidentally used or a seal had been broken to keep this creature at bay?
Or maybe this monster came into this realm on accident?
The story is very much flexible. But once the monster is here, what will it do? Will it take the time to learn or will it try to plan it's onslaught and wreck havoc on this plane?
Either way, it ends up in Your Character's care, willingly or unwillingly. If this thing was left to its own devices.. Well, that's a disaster waiting to happen. A disaster with a large body count.
(I like the inkling that the beast starts off rather weak and grows stronger over time.)

Hero x Villain
Y'know, I never thought that I would be here wanting to write about superhero stuff. But.. Here I am. Wanting to play a Villain. Again, no plot for now. But I would like my Villain to have a reason to be evil or doing what they are doing. I like my deep and complicated baddies, although I honestly don't mind going murder-hobo baddie. But I really do enjoy going through character development for them though. It can't be all just about the possible hate sex.

Ancient Magus Bride-based idea
(I prefer to play as the Male in this story.)
-Male x Female preferably
-Older/Ancient Creature (Male/Non-Binary) x Young woman
-Slice of Life, could have dark themes
-High Fantasy
-Possible multiple characters
-Highly story driven, though smut is very much desired
Like I mentioned before, I don't play canon characters. So I'll be making up my own for this. But I do like the general idea of the show/manga!
It could start off with YC being stolen from her home or sold herself into the trade, maybe she has already been through an owner or two? I'll leave YC's backstory up to you or we could come up with one together.
Either she can be found and bought at an auction or perhaps she found her way into the Otherworld and is finding every reason to stay and not go back home to the material world? Maybe she was found by MC then? Could he have accidentally attacked her or pitied her and brought her to his home? Would he convince her to stay or go back home where she belonged? Maybe deep down she has magic of her own that needs to be controlled or unlocked and could make her a potential apprentice?

The only other idea I had was inspired by Howl's Moving Castle. MC owns a shop that is a gateway into the magical realm. So he can be making dealings with both humans and the fae,or other magical creatures hiding amongst humans.

Warframe-based
Haven't tried this yet but I'm open to ideas! I would love a story to this.

Destiny-based (video-game)
Could possibly have a story about a fireteam, maybe newly put together or an experienced team. Could have a nice/dramatic love triangle (or poly?) going on while the story moves along.
I'm willing to build a nice plot with this.

RWBY-based
Love the show, love the concept.
OCs only tho!
I have some characters in mind but not really a plot. Open to what you guys bring me! Or we can try to make something together!

Space adventure? Space adventure.
A ramshackle band of bounty hunters? Mercs thrown together?

I kinda want this to be humorous, fun and smutty. I have a few characters in mind for this but my main is probably going to be a 7-8 ft tall lizard/dragon boi. Or a female/futa if that's your preference. Expect them to be tsundere as fuck.
I just love playing lizard-like characters.
Shrugs unapologetically

SCP-Foundation Based
I'm not HUGE into SCP but I'm aware of it and how it looks if works. But I really like the concept and world love to build off of it. A company that specializes in combating magical/weird/mysterious creatures and/or objects to protect the public. Or save mankind itself.
Both works lol
But anyway. I don't have a specific plot in mind but I don't mind brainstorming for one or to have someone else's brain to bounce off of for things. I'm completely open to whatever for the time being!

What I like to do;
---
Video-game based;
Halo, Destiny, and Warframe just to name a few.
Coc (Corruption of Champions)
TiTS (Trials in Tainted Space)
Tsundere characters
Slice of life
Anything involving vampires
Werewolves/shifters
Tsundere characters
Dragons/dragon riders
Angst
Tabletop based; D&D or Pathfinder
High Fantasy settings
Villains with a soft spot for the Hero
Apocalyptic setting; Zombie or natural disaster style.
Did I mention 'Tsundere characters'?
