If anyone is interested I have a Resistance aligned guide who I would like to find a Sentinel for. I am looking for someone who is willing to do D/s , Non-con and of course a very heated Romance between the characters. PM me if your interested!  ;D


Here is his Want ad.
And here is the link to his character sheet: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=190240.msg10120880#msg10120880

Aster Richard Black


Guide,Resistance,Unbonded







Platonic or Sexual Bond? I would prefer a sexual bond with this character.

Sexuality : Bi. If it’s a woman she needs to be bold, hands on, unafraid, shamelessly playful, witty, and have a strong desire to make Aster her man and keep trying until she does.

If it’s a male he needs to be patient, loving, Dominant, persistent, bold, hands on, and willing to keep trying even if he gets “bitten” by the wolf he seeks to tame.

Either way it will take time for Aster to consent to a bond so your in for a chase ;)

Specific Traits a Bond should have : I would like them to be Tower aligned. I want to explore the aspect of forbidden love and the two very different worlds they come from. Star crossed lovers, they met in the middle of two powerful forces bigger than themselves. Does love conquer or will the fires of war burn them all? What happens if Aster is captured and brought in for questioning? Will his lover save him? Perhaps offering to bond the rouge guide and control him in exchange for his life? Could his lover watch him die, tortured in the depths of the Tower? Could Aster ever forgive his lover for not letting him die first rather than bond? These are possibilities I have in mind for this bond. It will be a very strong bond  with passionate romance but it will be a bit chaotic and a power struggle as aster tries to reconcile his beliefs with how he feels for his lover/partner.

I was thinking they could keep meeting up randomly like at the grocery store, the park, a restaurant or bar and slowly the relationship deepens. Maybe your sentinel character asks him out to dinner eventually? Your sentinel's persistence pays off as Aster falls in love with them. However Aster's kept a secret; he's actually the dangerous masked resistance man who has been causing all that trouble and who your character has been hunting all this time. Now it makes sense those times your character could have been killed by the masked man but oddly the man staid his hand.

If your up for this sort of thing let me know!
Non-Romantic: Resistance members to get up to resistance stuff. ;D
Seeking : Friends, rivals, hunters to hunt him, enemies, people to convince to join him.
Time and Place : In London pretty much.

Describe the Scene : A guide hunt would be great! Have a sentinel hunter but haven’t had a chance to hunt down a guide yet? try him he will give you a proper run for your money. It would also be a great way to establish a hunter/hunted relationship with not so easy prey.

Resistance people, it would be awesome to meet up and have a sit down and perhaps heated discussion about what can be done about the Tower.

Friends, can he crash at your place? things got a little hectic last night and he needs a place to stay to let it blow over how about it?

question: are sentinels and guides sort of predestined for each other or can any sentinel and guide bond, or is it somewhere in between, where they are more suited to some than others?

Heya icecradle! We've received a question similar to this before so I'll link you to what both Stygia and myself had to say about it  :-)  I think this should answer your question though if you'd like any further elaboration or clarification on something let us know. I'll just also add that it is definitely possible for a Guide or Sentinel to bond again after losing their first bondmate. We have various Guides and Sentinel in game who have been widowed as part of their backstory.

Quote from: Dotley on June 10, 2014, 12:00:38 PMI'd say to a Guide or Sentinel with super high compatibility that bond it might seem like they are total soulmates and were born only for each other, destiny and fate and etc. But it's really just a case of the Guide and Sentinel having a rare super high compatibility with each other. Compatibility kinda works on a scale, and as for what makes low or high compatibility between Sentinel and Guide - so far it's kinda been left vague so we're free to determine compatibility levels between our Guide and Sentinel characters.

As for the 'just any will do' - considering the current climate of very low Guide birth rates it has become increasingly common in some cases for Sentinel to make bonds with Guides that they aren't truly compatible with simply out of desperation. While our PC Sentinel have a great chance at making a bond our NPC/background Sentinel in the setting of the world are looking at a birthrate of 1 Guide to every 100 Sentinel. So it's almost guaranteed that most Sentinel won't ever get the chance to bond. So I can definitely see certain Sentinel considering any Guide to be good enough, since any Guide might seem better than no Guide.

Quote from: Stygia on June 10, 2014, 12:23:31 PM
As far as the Bonding urge goes, there is no "one true Bondmate" There is a compatibility scale, and Guides and Sentinel can most easily attain a Bond with one another when they have high compatibility. Low compatibility pairings are generally not happy pairings, and they may experience difficulty when physicallly separated from their Bondmate. (I'll stop here, since Dotley has explained it far more eloquently than I currently have the brain to do so)

Regarding the benefits, it's primarily an instinctual draw. Sentinels need Guides, because without them, they're at risk of Zoning due to their incredibly strong senses. A Guide will help the Sentinel keep control as well as provide emotional/empathic support. Can a Sentinel survive without a Guide? Many do, but they don't flourish. For some of them, it takes every ounce of will they have to keep their senses at bay for day to day living. Lots of Sentinel have gone mad, or committed suicide because the strain became too much.

Guides need Sentinels, though their need isn't as pronounced as the Sentinel. Guides tend to feel an instinctive urge to soothe Sentinels and help ease back their senses with their empathy. They provide a...sort of barrier between the world and the sensory synapses in the Sentinel's brain. Can a Guide survive without a Sentinel? Yes, but they'll live with the sensation that some part of them is unfulfilled. Whether or not they choose to ignore that inner emptiness is dependent upon the Guide's own sense of self.

When Bonded, a Guide will instinctively know when their Sentinel is pushing their senses too far, or when they need to be soothed. A Sentinel will instinctively know when their Guide is in danger or needs protection. The mental link between a Bonded pair is based on empathy, so they can't speak mind-to-mind, but they can feel each other's emotions on a much deeper level than even what the guide would be able to delve into on their own.

Hopefully that helps. Let me know if you need further clarification.

icecradle

that's very helpful thanks.

I am thinking of playing a young male, gay/bi sentinel, in training? Would something like that fit your current cast of characters? I started reading through the accepted list and woah there's so many o.o So.. I might be a while xD

Stygia

There's always room for more sentinel trainees in the tower, if you're leaning that direction. :)

Do let us know if you have other questions. I know it's a big world, and a bit overwhelming,  but everyone in the game is amazingly friendly and helpful.

Hi Ice! *tackles*  ;D

So, I updated my Want Ad to make it more clear as to what I'm looking for.

Broken Bonds is currently accepting Guide applications for a brief period of time.

Only 3 Guides will be approved at this point in time. We would prefer that any submitted Guides have an alliance (no "neutral" characters) and be made with a currently-existing Sentinel in mind to be Bonded to.

It is also strongly preferred that one of the Guide applicants choose to come in as a Guide Trainer.

All character sheets should be PM'ed to Dotley and Stygia for review by September 1st. Not all submitted Guides will be approved if more than two applications are received. If your Guide is rejected, don't take it personally. It's not an attack against your character or creativity.

Sentinel and Normal character slots remain open at this time.

Nico

I seriously have to move my lazy butt and actually read though the rules and stuff one of these days. ~lazy Nic is lazy~


Dotley

We really would so move that lazy tush Nic  ;)

But in all seriousness please let us know if you have questions after you read up. As a co-GM I'm always happy to answer questions or help out in any way I can.

My unbonded, unaligned Sentinel Raisa is in need of someone sexy to play against. She's wild, she's feral, she's passionate, she's completely untamed. Come and get her. :)

Looking to make a difference?  Join the Tower Police Force! 

My expatriate character Paulo is looking for fellow cops to chase bad guys with.  There’s a potential serious criminal case coming up, as well as plenty of opportunities for day-to-day cop work.

In Broken Bonds, the Tower Police deal with Sentinel or Guide related crimes from investigating domestic disturbances to drug deals and Guide trafficking.  They are also the iron fist in the kevlar glove that the Tower uses to keep the populace in line so you can also expect to be doing a certain amount of unjust harassment of freedom fighters and idealists protesting Tower abuses.  The Resistance is also fairly organized in London, and the police occasionally deal with them as well.  This role is a great place for players who like to do plotty-investigative type things, with a nice dose of moral quandary thrown in.

Want to play a naive new officer who hasn’t seen the ugly side of the Tower yet?  We can knock that innocence right out.

A jaded officer who’s been assigned to the new guy’s squad as a punishment?  Paulo would like to butt heads with you!

A Normal resenting the easy path to promotion and perks that Sentinel get?  Why is that a problem?  Sentinel are better suited, my weaker, dimmer friend. ;)

Characters are likely to be Sentinel or Normals.  The only Guides in the force are bonded to police Sentinel - unbonded Guides are delicate little flowers and need to stay safe in the Tower.  Really.

Scary uniforms and jack-boots provided at no extra charge.

Hrm....

*Ponders a return.*

I could possibly bring back Saara. Wouldn't need to change much really.... and I'm oh so good at 'butting heads'. ;) What say you GM's? Your decision.

Stygia

Of course you're welcome back, Bubby! I'll PM you with the things that have changed since you left us.

Stygia

The Tower is in need of new medical staff! Doctors, geneticists and scientists are all welcome! This is a place your Normal character could really shine! PM Dotley or Stygia if you have questions.

Raisa O'Connell


Sentinel,  Unaligned/Rogue,  Unbonded






Non-Romantic, Romantic, or One Night Stand Plot? Any!
Seeking : Any, really. Raisa is unaligned because I want to play out her encountering members on both sides and going wherever she feels the most appealing path to be. It should be noted, however, that if the plot is going to be romantic or a one night stand type thing, the character in question must be dominant and able to top her, or else she’s liable to break them.
Time and Place : Anywhere in London. Raisa lives out of her car, so she is sort of on the move at all times and so can be found anywhere. At the moment it is for certain that she’s been participating in cage matches to make money, though, so that’s a convenient place to find her.
Describe the Scene : Open
Anything else? I will generally only post a couple times a week at max, as I am currently GMing one rather active game and co-GMing two others, I'm also in several games. My weeks are devoted to my groups, but weekends tend to be reserved for my solos/relaxing. I’m really open to just about any and all possibilities because she’s such a new character, so just PM me and let’s get to plotting! Connections that are already being plotted for Raisa are: Cavan (future employer), Felix (future “friend” with benefits).



Sexual Bond? Sexual preferred though like everything, I am willing to consider something else if the storyline is good.
Sexuality : Hetero bond preferred, though a bond with a female or trans guide is possible if they bring the right personality to the table.
Specific Traits a Bond should have Raisa’s bond should be with a strong guide… one who has a personality and physicality dominant enough to back it up. Her Sentinel tendencies leave her wild and untamed, almost animalistic at times, which means that she generally will only respond to someone strong enough to “tame” her. In most instances, a gentler touch will do little more than bore her and the lack of excitement and appeal to her animal instincts will turn her off.
I want no ordinary lover. I want a storm. I want sleepless nights and endless conversations at four a.m. I want passion, I want madness.
I want someone who's able to make my whole body shiver from a distance and also pull me close to make sense of all my bones.

Avalyn Moriah Somerset


Guide | Tower Alligned | Unbonded







Non-Romantic, Romantic, or One Night Stand Plot? Non-Romantic or Romantic
Seeking: Any, though any romantic plots I would prefer an unbonded male sentinel for.
Time and Place: Anywhere on Tower grounds.

Describe the Scene: Avalyn has been living within the Tower’s custody for just over a year, since the death of her first (and so far only) Sentinel. The first few months she was there, few people were even aware of it, as she was kept quarantined due to her grief causing her to lose control over her empathy. Now that she has regained her control and it has been a year, the Tower is allowing her more free access to their facilities, especially the medical department, where she is a research specialist and doubles as a doctor.

Anything else?: Looking for anything… friends, lab rats, unbonded Sentinel eager to attract a guide (please note she’s not actually wanting to bond, but I enjoy the idea of making her uncomfortable and possibly finding her a bond mate against her determination to never bond again), other guides curious about the new girl with three PhDs… really anything! Avalyn is incredibly socially awkward, so don’t expect her to flirt incessantly or anything like that.






Non-Romantic, Romantic, or One Night Stand Plot? Non-Romantic
Seeking: Guide Trainer (Tower Aligned)
Time and Place: History

Describe the Scene: Avalyn comes from a wealthy, influential noble family. Her powers manifested when she was 13 in an extreme, uncontrollable manner. She obviously had a lot of power and potential, but no way to control it. Her family would have taken to donating regularly to the Tower in order to obtain a guide trainer to make regular visits to try to work with Avalyn, even after her bonding at the age of 16. Most likely the training wouldn’t have been too necessary after she turned 17/18, but it would be nice to have a connection established prior to her entry in to the game.

Anything else?: Avalyn also spent several months after coming to the tower just over a year ago in quarantine, kept away from normals and sentinals as her grief over the loss of her sentinel caused her to lose control of her gifts. I would love to have other guides who were brought in to see her/work with her during that time.






Platonic or Sexual Bond? Sexual preferred, though platonic is a possibility with the right person.
Sexuality: As of right now, Avalyn isn’t entirely aware of her sexuality, though she does know she finds men attractive. Due to her history and high-society upbringing, she actively tries to deny any impulses for those of the same (or any non-male) sex.
Specific Traits a Bond should have: This is open, though a Sentinel would need to be dominant and not easily made to feel inferior or intimidated by her intelligence. Someone who would allow her to go back to medical school would be a definite bonus.
I want no ordinary lover. I want a storm. I want sleepless nights and endless conversations at four a.m. I want passion, I want madness.
I want someone who's able to make my whole body shiver from a distance and also pull me close to make sense of all my bones.
