Fantastical Stories (Read for details).

Hello! I am looking for a fantasy/adventure type rp. I'll be blunt, I am a huge TTRPG nerd and have been in several D&D (mostly 5e) and Pathfinder (using the spheres of might and power) games and I have several characters that have gone unused either due to campaigns ending, me having to leave, or the character they were prepared to replace never died/had reason to leave. And honestly, I would like to give them something/be able to do something with them as I like their characters and the stories I have for them.

So basics/expectations I suppose. I also apologize if it seems like a word vomit but I think it saves time to find people who think similarly/agree with me.
  • I don't expect daily replies. Sometimes life gets to us and we have other priorities. Job, family, friends, mental health, ect. I understand completely. If there's radio silence for a week, I might offer a little nudge just to make sure it wasn't a scenario of not seeing the notification otherwise I don't spam. If there's continued silence after that without a heads up, I will just assume you lost interest and move on.
  • My responses may vary from morning to late at night. Weekends I may go silent due to work and/or other commitments (aka my D&D/Pathfinder games). However I am usually free during the day on weekdays if I don't have other obligations.
  • I can get descriptive, at least 1 or 2 paragraph but I can do multiple. Especially if I'm very invested in the scene and I have a lot to work with. I try to match lines. I might give out shorter responses in compare if I'm in a rush and trying to get the reply out before work or something.
  • I love world building. I love discussing out of rp about our characters, the world, and all that. I like plotting about all the different ways we can nudge our characters into seeing their different sides. So please don't be afraid to be like "Hey I have an idea..." or "Hey, what if..." because I am all for it.
  • I am expecting angst. Don't get me wrong, fluffy, cute, and funny moments are great. In fact, I love fluff. I like seeing my characters being put into situations that make me laugh my ass off or squeal because the moment is just so cute and wholesome. But I think it's obvious I don't give many of my characters happy backstories and I want to explore the various emotions they go through because of what I put them through they had to deal with. I also like pushing my characters to their limit and seeing what will break them and seeing who has to/is willing to pick up the pieces. (I know I'm terrible)
  • I won't lie, I'd like to see some romance...but it doesn't have to be the main focus if you don't want it to. I do like adventure and found family tropes. It's just my characters need love. And friends. And therapy. Especially therapy.
  • Speaking of romance, I'm perfectly fine with nsfw. Either going into detail or "fade to black". If you do like rping smut, we can discuss details if it gets brought up. In most cases, I would prefer stories and exploring the characters emotionally and through adventure a bit more but I'm not opposed to it at all (Hell I know for a fact a couple of these characters are more than willing to have casual hook ups on the regular). Obviously, all characters are/must be 18+.
  • I don't mind MxM, MxF, or FxF.
  • I'm not against using multiple characters. I don't mind grabbing two or three of these characters and forming a party with any characters you may have. Honestly I think some of these characters could have some pretty amusing interactions.
Characters: (Rough descriptions, obviously I can go into a more in-depth description if needed) (I also have them marked for what system I used to make them before anyone wonders what the fuck a fetchling is)

Kallisto Dumin. Tiefling cleric of Mykul. Almost never shows her face or any exposed skin outside of temples or her private rooms. Not particularly fond of people but willing to put up with them. Will not hesitate to stab or bash in a skull with her mace but definitely prefers magic. (5e)

Winifred (Winnie) Sybil. Hag-spawn/Hexblood bard who specializes in fortune telling and trying to ignore the fact her mother is an evil fey that eats children. Overall friendly but hides how much she hates herself and wishes to prove that she's more than just her mother's daughter. (5e)

Citrina. Reborn/elf spore druid with a true love of mushrooms and fluffy things. Effectively mute and a little creepy looking, but friendly. Has no memory of her life before waking up as a sentient living spore zombie. Just kinda vibes through life not realizing how unsettling she can be. (5e)

Zirdri. Hobgoblin soldier/outcast/mercenary who specializes in kicking ass and giving orders. Sucks in about any other social situation and bad with communicating feelings. Might drink a little too much and will fight anyone who tries to tell her so. (5e)

Ophelia Hawthorne. Dhampir warlock. Disgraced noble who was contacted by her vampiric ancestor who is locked up and wants out. Gives her powers and promises to restore their family name and power once she figures out where he's locked up and how to get him out. Very down to earth and understands the struggle of the common man. Drinks blood but she doesn't bring that up. (5e)

Eden Aldridge. Dhampir monk. Runaway bride of a powerful vampire lord and has no intention of returning to that life. Ended up finding sanctuary in a monastery and stayed there for years for both safety and it gave her a purpose. Has an adorable little son whom she adores. Wary of people. (5e)

Xune Dhalmass. Drow ranger. An exile from her family/city and now works for hire as a mercenary. Whether they need a guard or a guide, she's up for it. Pretty laid back. Can handle the horrors of the Underdark from the oppressive darkness to Drow society to any monstrosity that wants to eat her, but can't fucking stand rodents. (5e)

Aeron Ashgrove. Half elf wildfire druid with a literal demon trapped within himself he's trying to keep contained and trying to find a way to kill it. Very emo and self-loathing and the only thing he hates more than himself is said demon making his life hell. (5e)

Blaze. Male fire genasi monk. Cool headed until he's pissed off in which case his hair catches fire. Best friend is his bow staff which he uses to beat people into submission. Also finds setting his hands on fire and decking people in the face to be hilarious. (5e)

Sarren. Fetchling. Former necromancer's assistant turned unwilling test subject. Very skilled necromancer however now toes the line between living and undead. Due to having both sensitive information and being considered a relatively successful experiment, is being hunted down and is in a constant state of paranoia and self-loathing due to his past crimes and current predicament. (pathfinder)

Vanros Draven. Half elf warlock to an eldritch being. Mildly insane and grew up in a cult. Escaped said cult and is now being hunted down while also casually unintentionally attempting to start a cult. Seemingly harmless most of the time. Very jumpy and fearful of new people. (5e)

Atlas Orson. Yuan-ti bard/rogue. Both a charismatic and sneaky bastard who specializes in charming people or making their day much worse. Feels emotions when he shouldn't and has mixed feelings about these experiences, wanting them to stop holding them back but also enjoying some of the nicer feelings the world has to offer. (5e)

Karai Rhuno. Tiefling barbarian. Massive mountain of a man whose fiendish heritage is very obvious, but he's a socially anxious giant teddy bear. Can punch a hole into a rock but is definitely the type to bawl over those sad animal shelter commercials. Grew up a street urchin who ended up as a fighter in a fighting pit before being taken in by a benefactor. Now adventures in hopes of paying them back for their kindness. (5e)

Xell. Changeling duelist with a flair for the dramatics. Impersonates the famous duelist who raised and taught them their skills after their untimely death. Constantly wears a mask and terrified of showing who they really are. (5e)

Sage. Changeling rogue who worked for an evil wizard as an assassin/spy/informant. Has low value for themselves and sees themselves more as a tool than a person. Emotionally constipated and would rather be stabbed than open up about feelings. Can't recognize a healthy relationship to save their life. (5e)

Feel free to DM me if interested!
