Hello there, dear reader!

So, first a few words about myself: I'm a student from Germany, have been roleplaying for a few years (though with some interruptions due to personal and mental health reasons)
Fair warning, I'm studying literature, so I can't guarantee that I won't break out in lengthy, mildly pretentious rants about literature...But I try to keep that kind of rambling to a minimum! Aside from that, I'm not a terribly avid consumer of pop-culture, but if you're looking for someone who has watched a wild, eclectic mix of stuff on Netflix, I'm your guy!
Also a little bit of a history-nerd so...that's maybe another warning, I guess. But more the "Spend hours looking up victorian underwear"-kind and less the "Knows every major battle of the American Civil War"-kind.

Now, how about me as a writer?

As should become quite obvious from this thread, I'm pretty versatile. That goes both for the kind of plots I like to write, ranging from grimdark tales of nightmares, psychologcial horror and despair, to light-hearted, fluffy romances or epic, over-the-top adventures, which is all fine by me, though might depend on seasonal shifting moods and current hyperfixations.
That being said, I'm easily excited, so if I hear a compelling prompt, there is a very fair chance, that I can roll with it, so if in doubt, don't hesitate to shoot me your ideas!

As for the character I like to play, the same rule applies. Roleplaying is a wonderful way to be someone else and I always enjoy roles, that are something completely different from my everyday life. I do enjoy playing characters of pretty much any gender and orientation in any kind of pairing. I do not particularly care about my partners IRL-gender and slightly prefer partners who share that sentiment.

I also do have a soft spot for Ensemble-pieces. A cast of main-ish characters, getting tangled up in complicated and messy relationships is a great source of drama and conflicht, a good way to life out that versatile streak I mentioned above and an always welcome excuse to get all those plot-bunnies out of my head >.>'
(As mentioned above, I'm easily excited and kind of a visual thinker, so it takes me roughly 20 minutes on the Finders and Seekers-board here to have inspiration for a whole TV-Show-Cast worth of characters....)
Now, I know that playing multiple characters can be a lot of work and might not be everybodies cup of tea, so I'm usually fine with playing multiple characters against a single protagonist...As long as there is a neat story behind it and not just a basic harem-setup.

I don't really believe in a clear distinction between plot and smut or strict numerical values and ratios. Ideally, both should work harmoniously together. I'm equally ready to bend the plot a little bit in favour of the lewds, as well as throw in some kinks, because they fit neatly into the plot.

And on a final note: I see roleplaying first and foremost as a form of collaborative storytelling. I love to brainstorm, plot, world-build and throw ideas around. So none of the following plot-ideas is written in stone. I'm always happy to get other people's input! I mean, otherwise I could just write short stories, right?

If any of the prompts or plots below catch your fancy, or if you have an idea of your own, you'd like to pitch me, feel free to drop me a message!

Current Cravings

• Something Dark
  Not gonna lie, I do enjoy bad things happening to my characters. Power-imbalance, coercion, corruption, loss of innocence, age-differences, incest…all sorts of relationship that are generally considered not okay.Note: While I do prefer to play the victim in these scenarios, in stories with multiple main-ish characters I’d be willing to switch it up. Not really looking to play against purely submissive partners right now
• Something Squicky
  Tentacles, monstrous creatures, alien parasites, body horror…I’d love a story involving any or all of the above. I’m more looking for a story that features those things, than one purely centered around it. Note: The same caveat as above applies here: I’d very much prefer to be at least partially on the recieving end of the tentacle-y goodness.
• Something Neon-Lit
  Gritty streets, the neon-lit parlours of the rich and powerful, shady corporations, low-life, high-tech...Something along those lines, preferably in an original setting. Since I'm not suuper into grand heroics, I'd rather keep away from grand conspiracies or revolutions and stick to the small, every-day kinds of corporate intrigue, backstabbery and street-violence^^'
• Something Bloody
  I've fallen down some unfortunate rabbitholes lately and would very much be down for something in the setting of Vampire: The Masquerade. I'd tentatively be open to include some other sides of WoD, like Werewolf or Mage, but I'm not nearly as familiar with those.
• Any excuse to use This faceclaim

Short Prompts for the Impatient

• A sapphic historical romance (Medieval Nuns? Victorian Childhood friends?)
• A cyberpunk-y Highschool Drama? (Euphoria, but more neon-lit)
• An episodic horror/mystery tale about folks solving eerie crimes?
• A modern mafia-family drama (a la The Godfather, not necessarily italian)
• Anything organized crime-related, really
• Something set in the Old West? (Something...something... Yee-haw?)

Pretty Pictures
Since I'm a bit of a visual person, here some faceclaims that I like to use. For some I might have a vague character-concept in mind, but most just prompted that magpie-like "Oooh! Shiny!"-reflex xD

Modern 

The Higher They Rise…
Setting/Genre: Modern Day US/UK? / Political Thriller, Action, Drama
Inspiration: House of Cards, State of Play
Themes: Corruption (Moral and Political), Politics, Rise to Power, Intrigue, Betrayal
Kinks:
Plot:
Discslaimer: Obviously, the story about the rise of a politician (who might not be a terribly nice person), has a high risk of tackling some topics that might hit a little close to home for some people. While the degree, to which real-world issues (or legally distinct stand-ins) feature in it is up for debate, if you’re looking for some light-hearted escapism, this story might not be for you. If you’re down for something cathartic, where we turn the unpleasantries of the real world into something engaging and maybe deal out some carmic justice in the process though, this might be very much the story for you!

Character A (M, somewhere in his 30s) is an ambitious politician, striving for great things and with the charisma, competence and squeaky clean reputation to actually achieve that. If he’s aspiring to power for it’s own sake, or if he truly believes that he has all the right answers to society’s problems is up for debate.

Either way, underneath that well-dressed, charming exterior lies a mind, best described as macchiavellian and a willingness to not only play dirty, but also sacrifice a lot (preferably other people) for the sake of his ambitions.
Aside from that, he is, regardless of the smiling, waving wife he has, a man of great appetites, who isn’t quite satisfied with a single partner (or gender, for that matter), which might not align terribly well with the values he publicly states.

Queue Character B (early 20s, gender up for discussion, but big plus points for a young man or transwoman), a young sex-worker, who ends up becoming A’s go-to provider of kinky fuckery, whenever he needs to vent some steam form his stressful life as a power-hungry politician. Originally, A is as dominant and in-charge in the bedroom as out of it, but, maybe egged on by Character B, who as their very own kind of charme, begins to explore a more switch-y side, realizing that he actually enjoys being on the recieving and now and then…Which annoys him to no end, but leads nonetheless to an unhealthy obsession with Character B, who then gets dragged into his orbit of corruption, politics and intrigue…
Starting from here, I’d like to explore the story of Character A’s rise to power…and his eventual downfall. While centering around the messy relationship between the two main-leads, there is certainly plenty of room (and need) for side-characters to scheme with, against, fuck, get fucked by, get fucked over by or fuck over. Of what nature A and B’s relationship is, if they become a cold-blooded power-couple, of if it’s more a love-hate relationship, where B ends up playing a role in A’s eventual downfall is up for debate.
Pairings: AxA/Multiple Characters preferred
Heir Apparent
Setting/Genre: Organized Crime/Family Drama
Inspiration: Eastern Promises, The Godfather, etc.
Themes: Family Drama, Daddy Issues, Rise to Power, Organized Crime, Sex, Drugs and Violence
Kinks: Open, but including a fair amount of switchery and powerplay
Plot:
MC, the son of a local mob-boss (italian? russian?) has always been a bit of a disappointment to his father. While smart, charming and eager to prove himself, he doesn't quite fit the image of the tough gangster, his father had hoped for in his heir. So when MC returns home from college, his hopes of finally getting a chance, to play a bigger role in the family "business" are swiftly dashed. He's kept around, but never as more as "the boss' son", while his father is openly looking for a more "appropriate" candidate, who can take over the organization.

There he makes the acquaintance of YC, one of his father's loyal soldiers, who too feels a bit overlooked in the organization. Sparks fly and the two decide to team up to take what they feel is rightfully theirs....
Pairings: Mainly MxM, but I'm open to various other pairings and sidecharacters.
The Lost Art of the Twilight
Setting/Genre: Modern/Gritty Slice of Life
Inspiration: -
Themes: Art vs. Commerce, Forbidden (or at least very inappropriate) Love, Mentor/Student-Relationship, Escape from Crime and Poverty
Kinks:  Age Difference (obviously), aside from that I'm open to various things
Plot:
Character A is an older, quite successful comic-author. They came from rather humble beginnings, but thanks to an abundance of both luck and talent, they managed to make quite a name for themselves. As of late though, they have been struggling a bit, at least creatively. Their latest works sell quite well, their publisher is very happy, but they just go through the motions to churn out well-selling shlock. And they hate it, almost as much as they hate their fans, who buy and praise the lackluster, corporate-approved stuff they churned out to pay the rent, while everybody seems to have forgotten the genuinely inspired work they used to do...

Character B is a teenager (within the boundaries of site rules and good taste, so 16+) from the bad part of town, just a few blocks from the run-down apartment-building, where Character A grew up. Unlike A, who made something out of their life, B is clearly struggling. Young, with little perspective, a troubled home-life, some dodgy friends and and a few minor run ins with the law. But also a fresh, creative mind, some artistic talent and the desperate need for escape...or at least escapism.

These two meet during an autograph session at a local comic store. A is politely smiling and nodding, while signing their name on the books they would love to burn, until B turns up in the queue, to have a worn out copy of A's first (and to the writers opinion: Best) comic signed...and a question that has been tormenting A themselves:
"What happen, man? The new stuff is garbage"
And that is as far as B gets, before being dragged out by the store's owner...Apparently, after stealing a few too many comics, they're not welcome there anymore.
But A, intrigued by that encounter, tracks B down and a sort of mentor/student relationship develops between the two, reigniting A's creativity...and igniting some dangerous other passions...
[Note: I'd slightly lean more towards playing character B]
The Devil's Advocate
Setting/Genre: Modern/Gritty Slice of Life
Inspiration: The Keanu Reeves movie of the same name (Minus the overtly supernatural elements)
Themes: Corruption, Country Guy in the Big City, Crime, Courtroom Drama
Kinks: Open
Plot:
Character A is a young lawyer from a small town, who recently managed to get a job with a big, respectable (?) law firm in The City. Once in the city though, our young, idealistic lawyer finds out that "justice" isn't really a concept his new boss values very highly. But the pay is good and the glimpse he gets into the decadent lifestyle of the rich and morally questionable as a certain appeal...

 Horror 

An Innsmouth Romance
Setting/Genre:
Inspiration:
Themes:
Kinks:
Plot:
So, for those who don't know the Story "Shadow over Innsmouth" by H.P. Lovecraft, the basic premise is:
A small fishing village in New England strikes a pact with strange, amphibious frog-fish-people, who worship strange, eldritch gods. In exchange for worship and human sacrifices now and then, the villagers get as much fish and outlandish golden jewelry as they want. After a while, said fish-people decide, they want to live among the humans and mate with them. Since Lovecraft was not overly interested in sexual activities of any kind, his story stops at the slightly xenophibic notion of "Oh noes, they are tainted by fish-blood!"
But I think the idea of a prim and proper, 19th century-New England-Puritan gal being presented with a bunch of horny fish-people, after her family is converted by the local cult has some interesting potential in it.
The Last Shadows of Summer
Setting/Genre: Small Town Horror/Coming-of-Age-Story
Inspiration: The Colour out of Space, Stranger Things, Every other Stephen King story
Themes: Coming-of-Age, Small-Town/Family Drama, Friends-to-Lovers(?), Cosmic(?) Horror
Kinks: Open
Plot:
Character A and Character B grew up together in a small, quaint and mind-numbingly boring town somewhere. During a particularly feverish summer, these two young people must not only confront the average, mundane horrors of high-school seniors, like classes, part-time jobs, anxiety about the future and the omnipresent boredom of the rural youth, but also something stranger, darker and more terrifying, that suddenly overshadows their hometown.
The Queen in Red
Setting/Genre: Horror
Inspiration: Black Swan, Suspiria, The King in Yellow
Themes: Ambitious Performers, Cursed Manuscripts, Psychological Horror
Kinks: Open
Plot:
[Protagonist] has just been accepted into a quite prestigious group of performing artists (a fancy dance academy? A famed theater/dance/ballet-troupe?). And the first performance they're going to take part in is not only arranged by a famous, if a bit eccentric director, but also based on a quite avant-garde, long-lost script...That turns out to be a bit more uncanny than expected. Eager to prove themselves and follow their ambitions, they realize to late, that this performance might serve some dark, eldritch forces...and drive them and the rest of the cast into madness...or worse.
A Thing of Beauty
Setting/Genre: Gothic/Erotic Horror
Inspiration:  A little bit gothic novel and a little bit Hellraiser (just less gory)
Themes: Gothic Horror, Cursed Artifacts, Slow Descent into Madness
Kinks: Open
Plot:
Character A and Character B are a couple of young, recently somewhat wealthy professionals. To give the last touch to their new, very hip and very fancy apartment, they acquire an....odd piece of art. Maybe they bought it at an odd antique-store, maybe it was gifted to them by...someone. In any case, one or both of them begins to develop an unhealthy obsession with this piece...which in turn begins to show a subtle, corrupting influence on them. But do you really question, if that weird sculpture is cursed, if your sex-life suddenly becomes outlandishly good?
Mrs. Cartwritght's Dreams
Setting/Genre: Cosmic/Psychological Horror
Inspiration:  The Call of Cthulhu and similar lovecraftian horror
Themes: Doctor-Patient-Relationship, Unhealthy Obsession, Eldritch Visions
Kinks: Open
Plot:
Character A has been visiting their therapist, Character B for a while now, for some form of mental-health issue. And so far, they've been doing pretty good, all things considered. Until A begins to be plagued by strange, unsettling and very vivid dreams. Despite their more rational mindest, B soon has to admit, that these dreams aren't just mundane nightmares. They're messages from some otherworldy entity....but what do they want to tell?
The Lurker Behind the Screen
Setting/Genre: Horror
Inspiration: "The Ring", obviously and a variety of Creepypastas.
Themes:  Influencer-Culture, Cursed Media, Lovecraft meets Instagram
Kinks: Open
Plot:
[Protagonist] has made a small career through some sort of online content. Twitch-streams? Youtube-Videos? Something along those lines. Maybe their content already has a bit of a morbid twist, or maybe it's just a one-time gimmick for Halloween, in any case they end up getting their hands on an allegedly cursed video...which they watch to record their reaction. Contrary to their expectation though, this video turns out to be actually otherworldly in nature and now they have to deal with the consequences: By watching the video, they called out for something out there...and it replied.

 Fantasy 

[lunaticskitten]

I notice you listed an interest in the middle ages proper, or Italian Renaissance in your historical section.  Both are areas of interest for me, the middle ages in general.  I'm a scadian so that's my weekend hobby, living like the middle ages (but with ac and flushy toilets b/c well yea).  Anyway.. I thought we might be able to discuss getting an rp going.  If you want you can see my story ideas and profile details to get an idea of the range I can play and what I'm into, to see if it meshes with what you're looking for.

While I'm not actively looking for these ideas, feel free to to take a look at them for inspiration.
If you have an interesting twist for them, I'm more than happy to heat it!

[SaintSicaire]

Did some re-formatting and added a selection of less fleshed-out plots and cravings at the top under "Bits and Pieces"

[SaintSicaire]

After another lenghty absence due to an acute case of life happening...Let's drag this here back from the dead

*sigh* Seems I start every other bump with a sentence like this...But I'm back, with improved communication-skills and a more stable mental health, so unless 2021 has any other world-shaking catastrophies in store, I won't disappear for another year without a word, I promise! ^^'

So, let's give this another try, shall we?

[SaintSicaire]

No better way to get back into writing, than a little bit of thread-necromancy, am I right?

I did a little bit of re-organizing for now and a more thorough overhaul of the whole thing will follow soon.

In any case: I'm back!

[SaintSicaire]

Updated the introduction and added some new (if vague ideas), as well as retiring some old ones.

[SaintSicaire]

Still struggling a bit to get back into writing, so I gave this thread a bit of an overhaul instead, retired the old plots and added some (somewhat) new ones.

[SaintSicaire]

Added "Blood and/or Money" to the list of current ideas

[SaintSicaire]

Added a new Plot "The Higher they rise..."  

[SaintSicaire]

Removed some old plots and added a section with particular current cravings to the plot-list. (Because the muse is a fickle and whimsical creature)

[SaintSicaire]

Added a new prompt, appropriate for the season.

[SaintSicaire]

Did a bit of cleaning up, added a new idea and updated the current cravings.

[SaintSicaire]

Did a little bit of cleaning up for the new year.

The muse is a bit fickle at the moment, but re-watching Dune has prompted a sudden craving for that weird, neo-feudal space-drama. Politics! Intrigue! Swordfighting in Space! (Worms and Drugs optional)

[SaintSicaire]

Added a new plot ("Civilized Beasts")

[SaintSicaire]

Let's brush the dust off of this...Particularly craving some cyberpunk-y shenanigans.

[SaintSicaire]

Hello again, it's been a while...

The plots might require some some cleaning out, but the general information still apply.

[SaintSicaire]

Cleaned up the plots and gave the whole thing a bit of a rework.
