Shadows Current Cravings

[ShadowsRun]

Hello there! Sorry for the formatting, I am on my phone and for some reason it really does not like to format things correctly. Another, please send me a PM if interested! I’ll try to get back to you as quickly as possible! I also like to keep this as short and sweet as I can!

Who am I?

• I’m a PhD student from the US
• I come shipped with over 14 years of rp experience

What To Expect From Me?

• I play both male and female characters but am most comfortable with males. My preferred pairing is MxF, but I’m not opposed to MxM, I’m just less experienced there. I don’t do FxF because I’m just not that comfortable in the F role
• I can write a lot when I get excited. When into a rp, my minimum is well over 500 words.
• I love OOC talk in rps! From headcanons to playlists to moodboards to random images I find on the internet and just chatting about life and memes!
• I generally can be pretty active and post multiple times a day when I have time
• I'm a dark person, this means I have no limits. This can somewhat show in my darker roleplays. In historical settings, I'm cool with romanticizing some things, but I still want darker themes true to the context. The same with serial killers and paranormal type roleplays.
• For more sexual themes. I’m really okay with darker stuff. I will say that I'm newer at writing this stuff so may stumble some.
• My characters are their own people. I don't really have an O/O list (I am asexual myself I absolutely have 0 ons) I like to tailor the list to each character so that's why you won't find one here
• I exclusively rp in third person past tense

Here is my O/O Thread https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=337716

What I Expect From You

•Communication. This is really the biggest one. Let me know what you want to see, what things are working, and what things aren't. We're adults and this is a partnership! This is our story after all. Anything I post is just a guideline to get us started. I 100% won’t be offended if you bring your own ideas or want to change things!


Some of these plots/ideas will have starters attached, the plot summary is below that in a spoiler.

Halloween/Spooky Plots and Ideas

Black Bird’s Calling Inspired by the Crow. Darker)

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

So in my head I’m thinking some dub/non con, some heavy jealousy, and basically everything in an overall not healthy relationship. It’s written in that context but it can be changed according. I was also toying with maybe there was a previous relationship that ended badly.  There are also various other routes we can take depending on backstories and that can be decided in plotting (i.e like if we want to go an assassin route, former organized crime, or keep it the musician)

MC had life figured out. A career they actually were proud of, a house they could call their own, and a fiancee that they adored more than anything, for the first time in their lives everything seemed like it was all falling into place. Sure it was far from perfect and to the outsode world, it was probably nothing to brag about. But to them, it meant everything. That was until until it was all left in a a pile of smoldering ash and the flickering of blue and red lights. Not that they knew what was happening, luckily for them they were long gone before they got a chance to see the full extent of the damage. Maybe for everyone involved it would have been better if things stayed that way.

YC has always been one of those people who craved power. They’ve commanded attention as easily as some people turn on a TV with a remote. They had the attention, but with it came the raw desire and ambition. They were a king/queen pin. The city bowed to them without even realizing it. Nothing moved and no one breathed without them clearing it. They took, and they destroyed and everyone listened. The city was their personal sandbox and they always shaped it to their will. So when MC—their silent obsession—got engaged, well that was their fiancée’s own death sentence. MC was just never supposed to get in the way.

The assassins were taken care of, and grief came and went in complete silence. No one expected what happened next. YC’s people started dropping like flies in often brutal and bloody ways. And before they could even respond, MC shows up to finish what they started.

As Darkness Descends

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

I’ve been watching way too many ghost hunting shows as of late and you know what I have noticed? Let there be 2 people on a team or let there be 10 people. There is always one who is like slightly terrified, does not want to sit alone in the cursed demon basement, and does not want to provoke the ghosts. There is also always one who is always ready to fights the ghosts, will willing do whatever ritual they need no matter how bad an idea, and low key gives off the vibes they would sleep with a ghost if the moment arises? You know there is a female ghost that molests people and they get a little too excited to volunteer to investigate in there alone.

I want to play with that vibe. Let it be
Timid Ghost Hunter x Angry Ghost Hunter.
Angry Ghost Hunter x Ghost
Timid Ghost Hunter x Ghost (with a very jealous angry angry ghost hunter who reviews the tapes later)

Etc that kinda vibe! Can be substituted for a demon or like being!

I am 100% cool with heavier themes! Bring the knives and the blood and all that other stuff!

Waking Up in Vegas (crime, heists, and literally all the Vegas tropes

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Muse A is one of two heirs to a castle of Neon lights and vice. They spent most of their lives the topic of hushed whispers about a power struggle but it actually turned out perfect. While his brother wad a natural at contracts, meetings, and actually running a business from the top, Muse B worked well as boots on the ground. Primarily head of security, he had his nose in the day to day operations and was essentially the manager of everyone not on the upper floors. He was the shadow on the wall who knew the casino like the back of his hand and nothing happened inside those walls without him knowing.

Muse B was heiress to a different empire entirely. The goal of her enterprise was to not get caught. It started out small. Jewelry stores, luxury handbags, boutiques, electronics, and every so often a pharmacy. Sure her little empire was making a splash, but it wasn’t anything to blink twice at. Wanting to garner that respect. She sets her sights on the proverbial Fort Knox. Turns out there’s one major weakness in the casino itself. Muse A. Get him distracted and the doors open.

The Eagle and the Wasp (WWII Army Air officer x WASP)

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Not so much of a plot for this one but just a fluffier war time romance and all the stress and struggles that come with war and having to hide their relationship from a literal base of people who constantly have eyes on them.

Oh How the Mighty Fall (Heroes, villains, the whole theme, apocalypse) [

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Since the beginning, it has always been Muse A and Muse B. Working in the shadows, they protected humanity from the threats that would have otherwise wiped them out. They were unstoppable and they only had each other but more than that, they were extremely powerful. Maybe there was something more there, but maybe they never even thought about it.  Over time though, things began to change. Call it the centuries or call it sprain, maybe it was a little bit of ego but an eventual rift started to emerge. Muse A stayed true to their path and play it safe while Muse B became disillusioned by it all and was willing to accomplish the mission at any cost. Things ended bloody and the two went their own ways.

Centuries passed in relative peace. Then suddenly things get a kickstart again. The threat arises once more but worse than ever. The two are forced to see if they want to bury the hatchet or if they can put their differences behind and move on.

Beyond our Sins (royalty) (light Anastasia, French Revolution, and Russian Revolution inspired. Overthrown prince x revolutionary/spy)

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Muse A  watched from the wall of the ballroom. The smell of wine filled the air along with a thick cloud of perfume. For some reason, the crown sat extra heavy on his head. The world was dizzying as always. He hated these types of events. They always had a way of showing just how inadequate he truly was. His brother effortlessly worked the room like a future king should but thankfully his sister looked just as miserable. He knew the weight of the crown, and tonight it felt heavier than ever. However, looking back he wished he could have embraced it just a little longer. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion. His sister's engagement ball. A new alliance formed that might bring some peace to the blood shed of this eternal war. Of course it wouldn't be enough to quell the unrest but maybe it could over some semblance of peace. Plague, famine, poverty, and war touched nearly every corner of the kingdom and this was their offering for the storm to die.  When it happened, everything moved quickly. Once moment he was second in line to be king with a glass of champagne in his hand and the next he was sleeping on the streets struggling to survive with his face plastered as an enemy of the state.

Muse A was the youngest son of a throne that built itself on war. Being the black sheep of the family, it was constantly pointed out he would never sit on the throne and he would never be good enough. The night after celebrating his sister's engagement, everyone was a little drunk and that's when the discontent boiled over. In an instant, the palace went up in flame and the family and servants were slaughtered. All except one. By chance he managed to make it out alive and now lives on the streets gambling and begging for almost everything he has.

Muse B is a little more open. They can be an officer in the revolution, the child of the leader, the child of an officer, etc. The revolution was an obvious power grab hidden behind good intentions. After everything went down, things only continued to decline.

The Order (Cults, serial killers, crime, obsession, stalking)

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Muse A is the lone heir to one of the most successful serial killers in US history. For decades, his father tore through the country ripping apart everything in his path all while assuring any trails always ended up cold. Muse A's mother died when he was young (of natural causes) and when he came of age, he was pushed to take his father's legacy. It was something he never wanted. Although that instinct ran deep through his veins, he could always hold back. That meant as soon as he was old enough to get out of town, he did. Breaking free from the chains of his bloodline, he never looked back.

Muse B is a member of the Order of the Moon: a guild and brotherhood for those with a taste for blood. Almost introduced since birth, they have lived by the Order's teachings, as well as by their protection. Almost confined to the organization's lodge, they devoted their lives to the books and records of those who walked before. And almost as long as they had been a member, they were fascinated with the nameless being known as the Crow. Unlike all the other membership records, the Crow doesn't come with a face. Just a stack of files and a trail of victims. Over the years, and with the advancement of forensics, the Order is slowly dwindling. The Crow had become something of Muse B's role model. They were the one person who managed to stay in the shadows and though they want to keep the illusion up, they devoted their life to figuring out who the rightful King of the Order is. Years later, their search leads them to a tombstone and a forgotten grave. That leads them to the the forensic pathologist that is just trying to move on with their life. After a blunt attempt at getting Muse A to join the fading order, Muse B realizes they're just going to have to push Muse A into giving into their own dark desires

A double Edged Sword (espionage/spies)

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

No matter what happens in the world, whoever grabs the the upper hand is the one who controls the world. It's a battle that has been raging as long as there has been civilization. It's a dangerous game where only the best survive, and even that isn't a guarantee.

Muse A and Muse B were the same side of a different coin. Working for two completely different agencies, they both had a reputation as being the one agent you didn't want to cross. You also certainly didn't want to get caught in the crossfire between the two. If there was a large game at play, the both of them were surely to be involved. They were each other’s enemies, but they were also each other’s game. In the middle of one of the largest jobs of both of their careers, Muse A suddenly goes quiet. Taking advantage of the situation, Muse B goes to make their move and seal the deal to solidify their name in history seemingly unopposed. Everything seems to go smoothly until Muse A shows up at their safe house door step beaten and bloody with a hit tied to their name.

Feel free to suggest anything I may have left out here! All of these ideas are mostly skeletons meaning they aren’t really set in stone and can be adapted, changed, and moved around! I love plotting and coming up with new stories. It’s my favorite part of this whole process so feel free to bring me your ideas and pitch anything that pops into your head!
