Hello and thank you for taking a look at my most recent game craving!

To begin, I would like to state that I am a female who plays male characters, and I prefer M/M plots as well. If either of these bother you, please look elsewhere for an RP partner. If you still wish to continue, please take a look at my O/Os (in my signature), just to get to know me a little better!

Nimmy's Newest Idea

I’m looking for a somewhat generic fantasy RP - yes, it is clichéd, but it’s been a while since I’ve played a fantasy game. This means, yes, magic will be allowed, as will races other than humans – please keep them mostly humanoid in form, if you would be so kind.

What I have worked out for the idea is that I would like this to take place in a mercenary camp, with a band that has started up a business escorting trade caravans across particularly hostile territory, for reasonable rates, as the Captain is a relatively fair man. The band itself is made up of anyone who has useful skills, regardless of gender, race, or cultural background, with a small core group made up of the Captain and some of the mercenaries who have been with him since the beginning. Other mercenaries come and go, and as such, you can imagine that this, coupled with the Captain’s lax “recruitment” process, would create much friction between certain groups of mercenaries within this mercenary band.

Background information aside, I’d like to work on a game between two of the mercenaries, your character being new to the band, although perhaps they have worked with some of the core mercenaries before. Perhaps they’re old friends, perhaps old rivals, or perhaps they don’t know each other at all in the beginning and begin to feel some sort of connection. Or perhaps they meet each other, decide they hate one another, and get drawn together anyways into a romantic situation. I’ll leave the final decision on what form the game takes to you and our discussion.

As a final bit of information on this game idea, I give you a short description of the character I will be playing, Vance.

Physical: Human male, late 20s. Tall, sturdily built, naturally tan, thick golden blond hair about shoulder length, green eyes. Carries a broadsword and a crossbow, a few daggers and throwing knives.
Personality: a bit of a trickster, good at sleight of hand and parlor tricks and general deception. Loyal to the people who earn his trust and respect, extremely intelligent although he frequently acts like an idiot, mostly so people underestimate his skills.
History: born in a coastal city, grew up being looked after by his mother and older sister, as his father left. He left home at around 13, wound up on the streets, and picked up skills that made him a bit of a street entertainer and pickpocket. He was picked up by an older man and began traveling with him as a mercenary, picking up skills and contacts as he went. The older man died when he was about 18, and he went off on his own, eventually meeting and beginning to travel with the Captain and his band.

You do not have to make a character profile for your character if you do not wish to, I just thought that providing a bit of information would be a good idea.

If you’re interested in this idea, please PM me and we can discuss details! If not, I have a link to my other game requests in my signature, feel free to check one of those out instead!
