Evil queens, female blackguards and, uhm, Stepford Wives... (F for anyone)

[Beorning]

Hello there, E!

Once again, let me try to get some stories out of my system :) I'm really, really itching to write one of the ideas below. Can you help?

Some basics:

• I'm a man that prefers to write female characters. Similarly, the RL gender of my writing partners does not matter to me and does not need to match their characters.
• For the following stories, I'm looking for a writing partner that either plays another character in the story, or fills more of a GM / narrator.
• The ideas listed are definitely bare-bones. Please don't get discouraged by it - I'm definitely planning on developing them more in concert with an interested writing partner.
• I would like these stories not to focused on lewdness. There can be sex... if the plot develops that way. But I don't want it to be an obligatory part.

Now, to the ideas!

The Dark Queen

I would really love to play a character like the one in the image... no, not Dark Rey :) What I mean is: a female ruler / queen / empress of some sort, either in a fantasy or a sci-fi setting. Said queen would be... dark in some way: maybe she'd be truly evil. Or, maybe she'd be conflicted / ambivalent when it comes to ethics. Or, maybe she'd simply be scary in some aspect. In any case, she'd be a "dark" queen, for the lack of a better term. I'd like to find a story where I could explore a character like that - her emotions, actions, life, everything.

The Not-So-Dark Queen of A Dark Place

A variant of the previous idea: what if said "dark queen" wasn't really a "dark person"? Instead, she'd be a normal person that, suddenly, was thrust into the role of a ruler... a ruler of a place that *is* definitely dark.

Imagine: an average young woman in a fantasy world. An orphan that is living at the house of a minor noble, or has been adopted by a kind innkeeper. Then, one day, scary riders from far away arrive. And inform her that she's the last known heir to the Black Throne of the Shadow Empire. And they take her away to a scary land of cruel people and evil magic - so that she claims the throne and keeps the dark empire in one piece. What will happen to her? Will she survive? Will her new role twist her into a monster?

The Blackguard

Continuing with the Star Wars inspiration: I'd like to play a character a bit like the Second Sister from Jedi: Fallen Order. A fantasy or sci-fi villainess / anti-heroine. A blackguard, a fallen paladin... someone like that. Someone with a history of dark choices and deeds... but with some potential for redemption. But also for falling even further, depending on where the story goes and what choices she takes next...

Just a rough concept, but darn... Second Sister was awesome.

The Tyrant's Daughter

Imagine the following situation: in a fantasy world, there was an evil queen (or king). A tyrant and a sorceress / sorcerer. Said tyrant became a threat to the whole continent. Eventually, they were deposed by the alliance of free peoples.

But... the tyrant had a daughter. She survived and was captured. And she seems to be... a reasonably good person. So, what should be done with her?

I want to explore her story. What happens to her? I'm curious. Help sate my curiosity.

The Stepford Wife

.... okay, now for something completely different. :)

What is says in the title: I'd like to play a Stepford Wife. Or a woman in a somewhat similar story. Meaning, a woman that - somehow - has been indoctrinated / hypnotized / brainwashed into being this submissive, soft and loving traditional homemaker. I want to explore her life and her relationship with her husband, as well as other people. What would it be actually like, to be a Stepford Wife?


Okay, these would be all of the ideas. Any takers? If so, please PM and let's develop the ideas further!

Cheers,

B.
