Welcome to the Madness Network (Malkavian's Cravings)

[Malkavian]

Welcome to the Network, fledgling.

I've had a few RP cravings that have been floating around in my sweet little brain for a time - some are smut-focused, others aren't. Rather than let them stew and fester unfulfilled I've decided to note them down here, just in case someone happens to come along who can help me play them out.

But before we get into what stories I'm currently craving, here's the kind of writing partners I tend to favour:

• Someone who's friendly and non-demanding: I work a lot more now than I used to, and can sometimes experience long periods when posting becomes difficult for me to keep on top of. Anyone looking to write with me should keep this in mind, because if I feel pressured, I'll drop the game. No ifs, no buts.
• Someone who can communicate if they're struggling to post. Even when I'm busy with work and finding it difficult to write, I always make an effort to let my partners know that I'm still around, even if I can't say for definite when I'll be able to post next. I'd expect the same from my writing partners.
• Someone who will take the time to read my Ons/Offs, just as I will do theirs. However, it's worth noting that I am willing to discuss the inclusion/exclusion of certain kinks from stories, provided we're both comfortable with the changes.
• Someone who is willing to contribute ideas to a proposed story - it's nice if they're willing and able to provide some input!
• Someone who likes writing detailed, interactive posts. Post length isn't everything - though I loathe one-liners - but you should at least be providing me with something to respond to. Don't leave the Lunatic to carry the story! (However, if we both decide that we'd rather keep posts shorter in order to post more regularly, I'm willing to consider that, too.)
• Someone who recognises where the boundaries are: I'm happy to PM back and forth away from the game - I've made quite a few good friends on here, after all - but the moment someone becomes unable/unwilling to separate the RP personalities from myself as a real-life person, I'm going to have to bail. (Been through the whole stalker shtick before, and it wasn't as fun as it sounds.)
• Someone who will not ghost me: if you aren't feeling the game, or have to leave for another reason, please just let me know. I'm honestly chill with this when it happens - Cthulhu knows I've had to bail on games before. But just up-and-vanishing on me isn't appreciated.
• Normally, I prefer to write with male partners, but this isn't an unbreakable rule - I've just found it easier to do so in the past. Provided I get on with the person I'm writing with, my partner can be of any gender.

Still here? Haven't scared you away? Good.

What follows is a list of RP ideas I've had: it'll no doubt change as time goes on and I add/remove story pitches from it. For each idea, I'll give a brief summary, a rough estimate of how much smut I'd like to include (again, negotiable for the most part), as well as information on who I'd like to portray. I won't make demands about who I'd need my partner to play, save for when the story idea I'm pitching is specifically requested because I'm keen to see two specific characters interact/do the nasty. (If an idea is crossed out, it means I've already found someone to run the RP with.)

If any of these ideas takes your fancy, feel free to PM me and we can discuss further; please do not post in this thread. Please also note that I am not committing to a game with anyone until I say as much: I'm happy to discuss ideas and see how things go in the planning stages, but showing interest does not amount to a guaranteed game until we've both agreed that it's going ahead.

CRAVING ONE | FINAL FANTASY XIV - CRAVING
My Character: Y'shtola Rhul (or Warrior of Light) ● Story/Smut Percentage: 70/30
I've played Final Fantasy XIV for a long time, and have been a big fan of Y'shtola throughout. I'd like to explore a love story between her and the Warrior of Light (ideally a Hyur male, but this is negotiable), one that develops from mutual respect to close friendship, from deep affection to unspoken and intensifying love. This would culminate in them becoming intimate and trying to explore their relationship whilst also juggling the duties required of them by the Scions. Alternatively, I would be happy to take on the role of the (male Hyur) Warrior of Light opposite another writer's Y'shtola, if someone else fancied playing the sorceress.

CRAVING TWO | MY NEIGHBOUR, THE WEREWOLF
My Character: The Girl Nextdoor ● Story/Smut Percentage: 80/20
Since you were a young man, you've been curious about the house next door. You knew the owner, Mister Mason, was a hard man, and religious to a fault, but it was rare that you got to see him beyond his secretive, late-night flights to and from the house. But even more than that, you're curious about the girl you once saw in the basement window, back when your curiosity outweighed your fear of the home's foul-tempered owner. Who was she? Why was she never allowed outside? And why did Mister Mason hysterically insist that she did not exist?

And then it happened: one night, you managed to speak to her, and discovered that she was even stranger than you could have imagined. You became friends slowly at first out of necessity, because the girl was uneducated, hesitant, and fearful of anything outside of her house. Her father, Mister Mason, treated her like a burden, a devil, a curse, and she would never risk meeting when he was in the house. She was terrified of him - and loathed herself as a result of his hateful preaching.

But your friendship gave her strength, and over time it developed into something more - something never yet acted upon. But then, quite suddenly, the girl stopped coming to meet at her window - and Mister Mason stopped leaving the house entirely. The home became deathly silent. According to rumours, Mister Mason had up and abandoned it; some even whispered that it was haunted, or a health hazard. Few locals were brave enough to check - not even you.

A few more years passed, and after college you made your return to your childhood home. The place hadn't changed much - and the house next door even less. Or at least, that's what you thought: one evening, whilst in your living room, you sighted a figure passing your window, and gathered your courage to investigate. To your amazement, the figure was the girl, now a woman grown. She'd been living alone in that abandoned house since her father had "gone missing", scarcely leaving save when she was forced to out of necessity; but your return has drawn her out once more, because she remembers you.

She remembers your scent.

CRAVING THREE | THE BREEDING
My Character: The Woman ● Story/Smut Percentage: 5/95 (Includes Taboo Kinks)
This one is pretty straight-forward, and is perhaps the least thought-out. In fact, it's pretty much just an excuse for some extreme kink RP fun. In this, my character has ended up somewhere with one or more male characters who seek to breed her - with themselves, and with the dogs and animals they keep. Whether because of biological or supernatural reasons, impregnating this woman over and over is their obsession; and for the same reasons, this woman is not only able to experience rapid, painless pregnancy and birth, her body also returns to its pre-pregnancy state immediately afterwards. These factors combine to ensure that she can be bred in perpetuity - whether she wants that future for herself or not.

Obviously the above deals with a number of taboo kinks, including bestiality and (possibly) incest, if her offspring experience a rapid change into full manhood (and are always male). I'm up for discussing all of what's involved.

CRAVING FOUR | THE ANGEL IN THE WOODS
My Character: Eve ● Story/Smut Percentage: 80/20
Eve was born different - it's why her grandmother took her away when her mother died in childbirth. Having been born at home, no-one was witness to the miraculous birth of the winged child. Eve's grandmother was thankful of that: she could only imagine how the world might react if they found out - the religious fanaticism, the fear, the hate, the worship.

It was because of this that Eve was raised alone in the woods, in an old cabin that had long been in her grandmother's family. As she grew up, more differences in her biology began to reveal themselves: sharper ears; a long, fleshy tail; feline-like eyes; sharp teeth; an inability to speak, forcing her to communicate instead through a series of animalistic clicks; and strength, speed, and durability that defied belief. Yet in spite of these differences, Eve and her grandmother were close and beloved, and the young miracle was educated, raised well, and kept forever secret and safe from the outside world.

Then, one day, everything changed: Eve's grandmother didn't wake up, and the young woman was left alone for the first time in her life. She couldn't stray from the woods, for her grandmother had made her promise that she never would, and had installed in her a (decidedly healthy) fear of humans and the world they lived in. And so she roamed throughout the trees, hunting and feeding, lonely and isolated.

And then fate brought her into contact with your character who, for whatever reason, is wandering the woods when he is forced into a situation that results in his being wounded. Eve, a witness to this, defies her promise to her grandmother and carries you back to the cabin; she treats the wounds, hiding away between your bouts of feverish lapses into consciousness. But sooner or later she's witnessed, and no shadow in the cabin is dark enough to hide her again. She emerges slowly, with the human and winged woman fearfully taking stock of the other.

CRAVING FIVE | MY HERO ACADEMIA
My Character: Midoriya Izuku ● Story/Smut Percentage: 60/40
I love this show, and the character of Midoriya - which is perhaps why I'm bucking my personal trend by wanting to play a male character. For this one, I'd like to find a partner who is up for playing Uraraka Ochako. I ship these two hard, and would be interested in finding someone who can help me explore them coming to terms with their feelings and exploring their blossoming relationship.

There is no set point in the timeline when I'd like to have this take place, though it would be helpful to have it occur sometime after Ochako realises that she had feelings for Deku (so that at least one of them isn't floundering in the dark about what they're experiencing). I'm also happy/eager to cover some actual My Hero Academia storylines with this, all whilst having the two heroes explore their relationship with one another.

CRAVING SIX | MASS EFFECT
My Character: Commander Shepard (Female) ● Story/Smut Percentage: 70/30
I'd be interested in exploring a romance between Commander Shepard and a character within the Mass Effect universe - either a canon character, or an original one. I've no set preference as to who this romantic interest is, but would like to explore aspects of their relationship and how it relates to their wider mission (it should be noted that I am happy to set this during any of events depicted in the computer game trilogy).

CRAVING SEVEN | THE WITCHER - CRAVING
My Character: The Witcher (Female) ● Story/Smut Percentage: 70/30
I'll open this pitch with the following statement: I know that women cannot be come Witchers in the setting lore. For the purposes of this story, however, I'm curious to see what would happen if the Trials were performed on a young girl and she actually survived the process, becoming the Continent's first, and only, female Witcher.

Being the only woman in her already infamous trade, it's entirely understandable that she would relish opportunities to sleep with whomever she wanted in order to make her isolation a little more bearable - after all, it's likely that she's not only shunned by the common folk, but also by her fellow monster hunters, who perhaps view her entry into their ranks a mistake and "freak occurrence." What happens then when she finds someone she begins to truly form a kinship with? How would he handle a friendly with such a feared individual, let alone a relationship?

(I am happy to play this story as either a free-form tale, but more enthused if we could run it using The Witcher RPG rules from R.Talsorian Games.)

CRAVING EIGHT | WEREWOLF: THE FORSAKEN - MASSIVE CRAVING
My Character: Pack Alpha ● Story/Smut Percentage: 80/20
Werewolf: the Forsaken is my favourite game from the New World of Darkness line, and I once had a Rahu Storm Lord pack alpha that I thoroughly enjoyed playing. I'd like to resurrect this character if possible in a group, system game, which would require the involvement of a Storyteller and at least two other players to create and control the other members of the pack.

Like most Werewolf: the Forsaken games, I'd like the focus in this to be on the pack, their relationships, and the establishing, defending, and developing of their territory as they juggle their ancestral duties with the trials of the mortal world in which they're forced to exist. Being primal beings, there will no doubt be smut involved, though I'd like for it to be a distant second priority to telling a story about savage horror. Of course, as a group game, if another pack member wants to be more liberal with their sexuality they can certainly do so, provided they fulfil their duties to the pack.

BUMP

Though I'm not back yet properly due to ongoing work commitments, I do find myself with time enough to take on a casual, one-on-one game. I have tried to fill this RP itch with one or two stories, but they've not gotten off of the ground.

From my OP, I'm particularly eager to engage in my Final Fantasy XIV idea focused around Y'shtola and the Warrior of Light. As per my opening post, I'm happy to play either Y'shtola against a male Hyur, or the male Hyur Warrior of Light against a Y'shtola. A few more details are in my OP.

Send me a PM if you're interested in discussing details.

Edit: Added the "Mass Effect" and "Witcher" story pitches to my original post.
