[professor-amaryllis]

Hello there! My name is Professor Bellamy Amaryllis, though most people who know me call me Amy. My kid @eartheats encouraged me to make an account on here- I guess that's what all the cool kids are doing nowadays, haha!

I’m agender and intersex and use They/He pronouns- She for some specific people as well. I'm Polyam, as well, so no need to go telling my partner about seeing me out and about- I assure you she knows!

If you were a child or have been around children anytime in the last 7 years you might know me as the Wild Guy, from my TV show Professor Amaryllis’s Wild Days! While I've been off the air for a year or so it's bloomed in popularity even still- it's hard to go too far without someone knowing who I am, hah!

I'm a poison specialist (though I have an affinity for fairy types as well) and one of the overseeing professors at the Goldenrod Ecological Society, really just a fancy title for the person who makes sure all the science is ethical, reliable and well documented. It's a lot of admin and outreach work and while it keeps me busy it's quite fulfilling.

This is a personal account, so I’ll be talking more about my life than my job, so sorry if you’re looking for a blog of just pokemon facts, because this certainly is not it.

//This is a soft reset of amy- you may notice that a good 90% of post from 2023 have been deleted! I realized that my early rp was not in line with what i'm doing with amy going forward! most plots, major events, and interactions from that time have been Retconned or Rewritten!! if you have questions feel free to DM me!

Hello!!! My name is Rabbit and I’m an adult, so be warned that there may be suggestive themes at times on this blog! I also will be doing some high stakes stuff!

I don’t interact with sentient pokemon or eebie deebies with very few and select exceptions (if you arent sure, ask!), and I’m picky about players with legendaries as well, as I have a specific cannon I’m working with!! No magic anons, crossover blogs, crack rp, or dream mail, though some peliper mail sent to amy's GES location is acceptable (within reason!! no magic anon but item things ahaha)

Amy’s a flawed character so please keep in mind that not everything he says is the objective truth! He can be biased, emotional, unprofessional and he can and will lie, though he prefers to tell half truths and avoid topics first.

Amy has a very detailed past, and he has his secrets and motives!! there’s usually at least something going on under the surface hehe so I wish you luck in trying to puzzle this man out! This character is my own personal Pepe Sylvia red string board and I enjoy playing him that way :)

I hope we can have fun together, but please please please remember that there is a person behind this blog, be nice!! or at least just not incredibly hateful. some negative asks can be fun but think before you send things please.

I AM CREATION -

BOTH HAUNTED & HOLY

Humans are petty and self-obsessed, more so now than ever before. In the days of old, humans worshiped the powers above instead of worshiping themselves. Some say it was wisdom that parted humanity from superstition, but those who know better understand that it was a test of loyalty. The gods were real and they were watching; waiting for humanity to return to them. Those who did were greatly rewarded. 

A few have already learned the truth and pledged themselves to the gods. These people are part of a secret society based out of London, called the Hand of the Neopantheon. They worship and offer sacrifice to the gods, and as a reward for their piety they have been gifted incredible power. The gift depends on the patron, and followers choose their patron god as a way to pursue the domain they value most.

MADE IN GLORY

NEOPANTHEONHQ is an upcoming urban fantasy oc rp set in London, England. It follows the operations of a secret society that worships a pantheon of secret gods. The gods have offered gifts to their followers and have announced that they will select one human to join their ranks as an immortal deity of immense power. This rp will explore themes of faith, the corrupting nature of power, and what makes a human worthy. REBLOG THIS POST TO UNLOCK EARLY ACCESS TO THE MAIN.

FFXIV, RP Role-Call!

It's been a hot minute since I've made a post consolidating my muses into one spot, and I've been wanting to get back into doing prompts and such so here goes!

As a bit of info about myself, I'm a longtime roleplayer (16+ years) in my 30's with a constant fear of back pain and a love for writing stories. I've RPed in multiple MMOs before settling in for the long haul in FFXIV and have loved the connections and stories I've found so far and looking forward to more. I'm open to multiple styles or themes of RP though as a general rule I prefer to engage with folks 21+, and if seeking darker/mature themes I like to make sure there is ample communication ahead of time.

My availability can be a little wonky (dad of two) but I'm generally able to swing in-game rp during the morning/afternoon and later evenings (est), but I'm also a huge fan of Discord (SN: redline1221) for the sheer convenience. If you're interested in shooting me a DM to inquire about the characters/plots or just to chitchat, you can throw me a message any time, always happy to talk to fellow RPers or anyone in general. With that out of the way, onto the cast!

My most active characters:

Gideon Rhames - Quartermaster, mercenary, brawler, and shanty man. Gideon's my longest running character on FF (been almost 6 or 7 years now playing him) and he's been through a lot.

Two Pistols and a Knife (tumblr.com)

Gideon Rhames (gideon-rhames.carrd.co)

Aristos Untakh - A Xaela who has traded the wandering, tribal nature of his former life to devote himself to the pursuit of knowledge and delving into the secrets of the Star, no matter how dangerous they might be. A severe person by nature, his inquisitive and prickly demeanor are often enough to keep others at a comfortable distance.

Aristos Untakh (savageintellect.carrd.co)

Vanric Retelle - Wandering minstrel, hunter, storyteller, and rumored to be leading a group of bandits assailing the Twelveswood, Vanric's life has been fraught with loss, and the desire to shed the mantle of civilized society for want of something true, and his own.

Vanric Retelle, the Bloody Bard (bloodstained-bard.carrd.co)

Vanric Retelle, the Bloody Bard (tumblr.com)

And as for characters less frequently played, but still available for RP!

Ashaux Daifain - An Ishgardian bartender who's recently moved to Ul'dah. His past beyond his time working the counter remains something of a mystery, but he's earned a reputation as a solid bartender ready with a drink and good word when needed. He's also the one to talk to when you need coin for something that might've fallen into your pocket by accident.

[archive2394934]

Decided to finally share this with the fandom. Originally wrote this as reference for other folks in interacting with my rp/writing blog where I write Henry because as far as I could see from the fandom the takes on the character were kind of shit (no offense to people who buy the “hes a psychopath” spiel, but I don't! Not even sure where it come from tbh.) so I’m gonna just post this & hope there's other Henry Creel apologists out there who feel the same lmao. (not fixing the format, take the garbage how it is)

GENERAL:

Straight to the point I do not write or interpret Henry as a remorseless psychopath. He is not “pure evil” & he was not “born evil.” To me it is quite clear that a lot of themes in Stranger Things are allegories for, & are very much metaphoric to metal illness & neuro-diversity, most particularly a lot of themes in Stranger Things touch on the the demonization of & abuse toward people with mental illness & neuro-devise individuals. Please keep in mind Stranger Things is a period piece that is taking place from the 50s through to the 80s & EARLY 90s. This was a time period particularly in AMERICAN HISTORY that was not known for its kindness toward minority demographics & just as it was difficult to be lgbt or a poc, for example, in these times, it was also very difficult to exist as a ND or mentally ill person without experiencing oppression, horrific abuse, exploitation & demonization.

Ultimately, to me Henry is on the autism spectrum. He is very high functioning but none the less he was labelled as “broken” by his doctors & teachers because he was born in the 40s & was a young boy in the 50s where this stuff was not commonly understood or recognized. Theres a few other factors floating around that make this story true to the horror genre & further add to the metaphorical side of things (Henry’s psychic powers, the idea the Creels were living in a haunted house, the concept of demonic possession, etc) but bringing things down to basics Henry was a high functioning autistic boy living in a time period where kindness & understanding toward his neurodiversity was not a thing. As a autistic person Henry instantly got me when he said all his doctor’s & teachers said he was “broken” because do you know what my doctor’s & teachers said about me when I was a kid? The exact same thing. & my bullshit was happening in the 90s rather than the 50s so I imagine what Henry was dealing with was a fair bit worse. Also check this post out, while I’m here if you don’t believe me on this stuff, the OP of this post covered this really well. & I’m also adding this little tidbit of info because it feels relevant. 

After coming to live in Hawkins, Henry discovered he had unlocked the ability to read minds. He then discovered his mother hated him & he discovered she planned to have him committed, where he would be taken away by a Doctor (Dr. Brenner) & “fixed.” This was a secret she had been keeping from him & presumably her husband. This was the trigger for Henry’s murderous rampage. He practiced using his psionic powers on small animals & prepared to kill his mother & escape from his family to avoid the horrors of institutionalization within a “psychiatric hospital,” as had been planned.

He failed. This perfectly explains the “secret” Henry’s mother kept & why Dr Brenner knew Henry existed. Keep in mind this is again the late 50s. Virginia was an upper-middle class house wife. Her duty & image as a loving mother & wife would have been held in the highest esteem. If she was someone who secretly despised one of her children ━ not only is this particularly shitty for Henry as the child she disliked to discover this ━ but it does in fact make her a hypocrite as someone who would pretend otherwise to fit societies mold of “normal” & “perfect.”

Henry used his powers to “torment” his family by “showing” them their “real” selves. Prior to the murders, Henry was nothing but a lonely, innocent child. He was unfairly judged as “broken” & “wrong” by his family members who themselves were actually not the ‘perfect’, ‘faultless’ people they pretended to be, hence his accusations of hypocrisy toward them. Henry was born different, try as he might he couldn’t change what made him “different”, he struggled hiding his differences, something which was expected of him, so he grew disgusted by people like his parents & sister who were so obsessed with perfection, conformity & this false notion of “normality” that they refused to accept that they themselves didn’t even fit the mold they were trying to force on Henry.

Henry would spend the next 20 years of his life wrongfully imprisoned & suffering various kinds of abuse & dehumanization at the hands of Dr. Brenner’s project. Henry was as much a victim as anyone else in this situation. We are made aware of the fact that he was often tortured & essentially treated as a slave to the facility. Henry, by his own admission, suffered a life of fear & cruelty.

ALICE CREEL:

I'm adding this because I can't decide if all the extreme inconsistences surrounding Alice mean something in canon or if it was just laziness on the Duffer Brother's behalf but for now, according to my headcanon: Alice was 15 years old. (Despite being portrayed by a much younger actress & thus appearing to have been the same age as Henry if not younger. A really weird inconsistency.) Her date of birth is given on the news paper clipping & she would have been 15 accordingly, 3 years older than Henry, making her Henry's OLDER sister.

I imagine Henry & her to have had a relationship best described as an inverted parallel to Will & Jonathan. Where Jonathan was supportive of nurturing toward Will, Alice was scornful & neglectful of Henry. She viewed him as a burden due to his "differences", which she considered were just him being difficult & a "freak." She was very much a normal teenaged girl in the 50s who largely kept her personal life a secret from her parents. I actually feel like the entire Creel family is suppose to be an inverted-parallel to the Byers family. 

Henry tormented Alice the least of his three family members because he simply didn't understand Alice's fears or secrets well enough to prey on them on a personal level. Again he was a 12 year old boy at this point, he wouldn’t have had this kind of insight. A similar thing could be said of his mother, as Henry's "torment" toward both his mother & sister appears to be very much in the vein of only making them see general phobias like bugs & spiders thus & not near as personal or potent as the torment his father received thanks to his PTSD & guilt from his actions in the war.

THE MIND-FLAYER:

To me, & I’m very sure this was what canon was suggesting, the entity we know as the mind-flayer was actual the “demonic presence” that emerged within the Creel house. The mind-flayer exists within another dimension, but the barrier between the human world & the mind-flayer’s dimension is thin around some places in Hawkins, which is why all this bullshit is going on in Hawkins in the first place. The Creel house happened to sit atop of one of these places. Henry was particularly sensitive & susceptible to the presence & influence of the mind-flayer due to his psychic abilities. Henry once believe that he was the demon in the Creel house, but this isn’t entirely the case.

We know that the mind-flayer is a malevolent force that amplifies feelings of sadness & anger, which are the emotions that it feeds on. Henry couldn’t have been a more perfect target because he was a sad child, a child who was ostracized from other children & found it difficult to fit in with others & was constantly being made to feel as if he was wrong/bad/at fault. This takes a psychological toll on a child & almost always leads them to acting out. Henry’s negative emotions however were amplified by the presence of the mind-flayer, which in turn amplified Henry’s powers.

This is why Henry’s abilities became so strong once he & his family had settled into their new home in Hawkins. This is what drove Henry to look into his families minds & find their “darkest secrets.” He wasn’t a twisted little demon who was just sick like that, Henry is shown actually as a sad & lonely kid. His spirits only brightened a little when he found some spiders inside a vent inside the house as he recounts he has a love of spiders & they brought him comfort in a very stressful time in his life. Henry then spent most of his time illustrating the spiders while his family fretted over the “evil presence” in the house, which used Henry’s powers to manifest itself. I mean one has to wonder where & how a 12 year old boy in 1959 learned to, essentially, suck the “souls” out of his “victims.” among other things

Which yeah, brings me to something else. While Henry’s method of killing does seem to be demonically influenced, it makes sense to me that a child like Henry would seem to reason this as a “valid” way to commit a murder. If he is able to basically “keep” his victims in some way, linking their souls to himself & thus giving them some type of immortality, it would serve to ease his guilt somewhat in the fact that he hasn’t completely killed them in the first place. This seems to be the case as Henry explained to Eleven after the lab massacre that the other numbers he "killed" weren't really gone.

Something else I consider evidence for this is when Victor recounts the family’s time in the house, we’re shown a scene with Henry drawing in the living room of the house. The lights in the room begin to act strangely which Henry notices, looking confused. Victor says he could see Henry could tell something was wrong. Now here's the thing: we know the best way for the someone or thing in the upside down to make “contact” with the human world is through lights/electricity. If Henry wasn’t manipulating the lights, which I think its clear he wasn’t, due to his own confusion & curiosity toward the event, what was?

We also have Henry’s apparent change of demeanor. He starts out seeming happy when the Creel’s are shown first arriving at the house, only to then be shown as gloomy & distant after some time in the house. 

& lastly this is completely theory but Henry’s massacre of the children always came off odd to me. It feels like we missed something in the way Henry goes from optimistic & helpful upon leaving Eleven in the store-room to dark & disturbed when she finally finds him again in the rainbow room. He just does not seem like he had his shit together or that this was all “according to plan”. Either something else happened that we didn’t get to see OR, something else I think could play a part if my theory about the mind-flayer always being there is true: Once the chip was removed from Henry & he started to get his powers & psychic senses back its possible with them came his connection to the mind-flayer. But that's purely just a thought & not something I’m willing to say is exactly what I think happened. No matter which way I look at it though I PERSONALLY think killing the other test subjects made a lot of sense from an in-character, in-world, in that moment in time perspective.

THE LAB MASSCARE:

IMO, there are many reasons for why Henry killed the other test subjects in the lab. This doesn’t just come in one shade. Survival is the leading one, but behind this we have the fact that Henry only learned to harness his powers through sadness & anger, two emotions that can be very intoxicating, even when utilized by someone who doesn’t have a life of lived trauma & oppression behind them like Henry does. We also have the fact that Henry saw the other children as enemies, given they viciously bullied Eleven for no good reason & he saw his own childhood of ostracization & bulling in their interactions with her.

Ultimately, Henry killed them because he could not save them & because if he left them alive they would only be used as weapons against him & Eleven in the long run. The children in the lab were not allies to him & Eleven & he was not entirely wrong in believing this. Many of them would do anything to please “Papa,” this including beating & abusing Eleven, possibly to the point of being willing to kill her, & thus would easily include using their remote location abilities to track Henry & Eleven down if they escaped. It seemed to be a worse outcome to leave the other subjects alive than it was to kill them.

DR. BRENNER:

Henry’s mercy on Brenner was entirely vindictive. He wanted Benner to live knowing he had taken everything away from him, that he was powerless & that he lost all the control & oppression he had lauded over Henry’s head for most of his life. It was really a power move, as was killing the other test subjects, because ultimately, Henry’s relationship with Brenner was/is a deeply fucked up one due to years of psychological & physical abuse. Ultimately he wanted Brenner to live & witness his escape, witness the loss of everything he had tried to build for years & witness everything else Henry would come to do free of Brenner’s imprisonment. Vecna’s motives for for continuing to leave Dr. Brenner alive are very much the same.

HENRY & VECNA:

Simply put Vecna is Henry but Henry is not Vecna. Vecna is the result of Henry’s “death,” as much as he is the result of Henry’s merger with the mind-flayer entity. As previously discussed, I believe the mind-flayer entity was always a malevolent force that amplifies & feeds on feelings of sadness & anger. This is why Vecna is so warped, both physically & spiritually. This is why Max explains that Vecna can’t see anything within people but hate & darkness. This connection with the mind-flayer changed him on a metaphysical level. Henry’s “dead” body was mutated by the unique constitution of the upside down & his merger with this entity to become the wickedly powerful creature that is been dubbed “Vecna” by the hellfire kids.

By all logic, Henry should have died after he entered the Upside down, not just by the multiple lightening strikes he apparently suffered that horrifically wounded him to the point of deformity, but also the fact he had to have fallen from a couple hundred feet at least. Somehow he didn’t die. There is no logical explanation as to why “Vecna” is or would be “alive.”

But we have seen that the Mind-flayer has the ability to reanimate creatures that have supposedly died. (The Demodogs in the Russian prison are a good example). Its more likely that Henry did die after he was thrown into the Upside down, whether from the lightning his body conducted or from hitting the ground from the seemingly endless height he fell from. Its all thanks to the influence of the mind-flayer & his psychic link with it that he was ‘revived’. Meaning he was able to get up & simply wander around the upside down dazed & mesmerized until he found the mind-flayers “physical” body & the two “linked” together.

This also explains why “Vecna” was able to take several head-on rounds from a shot gun, all the while being set on fire, & continued to live & function through the whole ordeal, even after falling at least a dozen feet out of a window, to the point that he was able to get up & escape with little effort. There is no logical explanation for any of it other than that Vecna is, in fact, “undead”. In his human life, Henry hoped to use his powers to change the world; to make things better for people like himself. As Vecna he is opting for more brutality & something much darker, due to his heavy corruption from the mind-flayer, though he still believes he’s doing this for a good reason, remembering his own goals, which is Henry’s remaining “human” element coming through.

Basically, in the story Vecna embodies all three major archetypes in the horror genre. He is the killer, the monster & the ghost & he is played by me as all three. This means he is a vindictive, malevolent creature who is not bound to human mortality but has a hauntingly tragic & human past. Vecna is vengeful & ruthless. He kills with impunity because it brings him closer & closer to his “goal” of forcefully “reshaping” the world that hated & rejected him but it also seems Vecna targets his victims for very specific reasons that allow him to believe these attacks are less murders & more mercy killings. I’ve talked about Venca’s personal “method/ritual” of killing & its “symbolic” refences to his human life & in general here. (removed the link, maybe I’ll share that one too though in another post)

Henry on the other hand has a killer instinct, & will kill if he has to, but he is not Vecna & his murders are almost always survival or revenge based. Henry’s goals included more anarchy for the sake of political & systematic change; to bring about a better quality of life for oppressed & marginalized individuals like himself. Henry & Kali were the same in this regard & this why I’ll never believe they weren’t connected or that they didn’t have a positive rapport, or that it wasn't extremely likely that Henry played a part in Kali’s escape from the lab. This is at least my personal headcanon & will remain that way until canon tells me otherwise. So far though canon is heavily, heavily suggesting this is true.

"A PREDATOR BUT FOR GOOD":

Henry’s speech to Eleven & his interest in spiders has resulted in all the fandoms insane misunderstandings about Henry’s character & what his actual motives were. I’ve been over it in a previous post but to largely quote that post: Henry’s self-label of “solitary” creature & his relation to spiders is not suppose to clue us on to some innate evil within the character. Completely the opposite actually. Henry has spent his life only ever knowing scorn, rejection & exile from others. Whether this exile is imposed on him by others or self-imposed to cope / feel safe, this is a heavy feature in Henry’s life. This single feature made most of the fandom convinced that Henry’s interest in & relation to spiders was scary & proof of “psychopathy”, because they think of spiders as scary, weird things that need to be avoided or eradicated; they're just not viewed as living creatures worthy of respect or sympathy despite the fact they very much are. Its very ironic that people took this away from Henry’s speech as he was actually explaining the opposite.

Henry literally says he relates to them because they’re a misunderstood creature, that people hate & only want to exterminate & people have always treated him the same way. He takes comfort in being able to relate to something so much & finds them inspiring as a result. He draws strength from them. They made him feel safe & seen. He feels more empowered & less alone when he thinks of them. Unfortunately, a lot of people somehow boiled this down to “Spiders kill things, spiders are scary, spiders are unrelatable, spiders are emotionless so that's what Henry was trying to tell us about himself.” Which all couldn’t be further from the truth.

Henry further spoke about the experience & unending stress of anyone who can not conform to societal norms, anyone who couldn’t live up to societies “expectations” & the restrictive, unfair standards of what is good & right vs what isn’t as these standards DO NOT apply to everyone. They are largely unnatural & that it is downright evil to try & enforce them on everyone since it is impossible for everyone to fit into the “mold.” The mold being heavily bias & flawed from the start. He is saying that all this nonsense has been made up by evil, bigoted, stupid people in power. He is talking about the real struggle “othered” people face against societal & systematic oppression.

He’s trying to say that a spider is considered an important part of the natural ecosystem. Spiders fit this ecosystem whether people like it or not & despite their differences they have a valuable role in brining order to the natural world. He’s not saying he wants to murder people because he finds it funny & he’s a sadistic freak; he's ensuring himself he belongs & he’s trying to illustrate that someone with powers like his & Eleven’s would be able to fight & perhaps work toward dismantling the painful, oppressive system that is currently in place & bring about balance. Equality. If he has to eat a couple insects to do it then so be it. He directly specifies he wants to be a predator BUT FOR GOOD & that is what his meaning was. It was intended to be the opposite of a predator being seen as an evil, monstrous thing. Anyways, thats my thoughts on that. I have plenty more but I can’t be bothered to fit them here rn. Thanks for reading if you did!

Biography:

Cthulhu, an ancient cosmic entity of unfathomable power and horror, exists beyond the comprehension of mortal minds. Described as an immense, octopus-like being with a grotesque mix of human, dragon, and alien features, Cthulhu dwells in the sunken city of R'lyeh, resting in a death-like slumber beneath the depths of the ocean.

Legend tells of Cthulhu's origins in the distant past when Earth was ruled by alien deities known as the Great Old Ones. Cthulhu is considered one of the most formidable among them, representing chaos, madness, and the insignificance of mankind in the grand tapestry of the universe.

Throughout the ages, Cthulhu has been worshipped by cults and secret societies, drawn to its dark allure and the promise of unimaginable power. Its mere presence can induce madness and despair, as the human mind struggles to comprehend its otherworldly form and the existential dread it embodies.

Though largely dormant, Cthulhu's influence seeps into the dreams and nightmares of humanity, whispering ancient secrets and driving those who dare to uncover its mysteries to the brink of insanity. It is said that when the stars align and the stars are right, Cthulhu shall rise from its slumber, heralding an era of chaos and the subjugation of mankind.

In a unique twist, here Cthulhu has taken upon a human form, concealing its true cosmic nature behind a mortal guise. Adopting the name Kai Manu, it walks among humanity, observing and manipulating from the shadows. "Kai" is a unisex name of Hawaiian origin, meaning "sea" or "ocean," which aligns with Cthulhu's deep-sea origins. "Manu" is a Polynesian name that means "bird" or "spirit," reflecting the ancient and otherworldly nature of Cthulhu.

Kai Manu appears as an enigmatic figure, with piercing eyes that seem to hold ancient knowledge and a presence that exudes an aura of unease. Despite its human appearance, there are subtle hints that betray its true nature—an otherworldly grace, an unnerving aura, and an underlying sense of something not quite right.

Through this chosen form, Cthulhu seamlessly integrates itself into human society, maneuvering through various circles and power structures to further its own inscrutable agenda. Its interactions are carefully calculated, as it subtly influences events and individuals, sowing seeds of discord and madness.

Yet, despite its human guise, Kai Manu remains a vessel for the immense power and cosmic horror that lies within. There are moments when the façade cracks, revealing glimpses of its true form—tentacles writhing beneath its skin, eyes that glow with an otherworldly light, and a voice that resonates with an ancient, alien timbre.

While its motivations and ultimate goals remain shrouded in mystery, one thing is certain: even in this human form, Cthulhu remains an entity of immense power and malevolence, capable of unleashing untold destruction and chaos upon an unsuspecting world. The question lingers: What grand design does this human guise serve, and what horrors lie in wait when the true nature of Cthulhu is revealed?

Welcome to Monterey Bay

HOW IT WORKS

This is a plot-optional RP, which means that players will decide whether they would like to engage in a narrative driven-murder mystery plot or whether they would like to use Monterey Bay as a standard form plotless town RP.

The setting contrasts the luxurious lives of many of the inhabitants of Monterey with the underlying tensions and secrets that lurk beneath the surface of their seemingly perfect community. This dichotomy is used to explore themes such as wealth, power, privilege and social status and how they intersect with the characters' relationships and experiences.

OPT IN: Players who opt in to the plot will be expected to delve deeper into the complex web of secrets and lies that permeate Monterey Society. Your character may face challenging moral dilemmas, complicated relationships, and intense emotional struggles while simultaneously trying to expose the secrets of others and protect secrets of their own.

OPT OUT: Players who opt out of the plot will have a more sandbox experience, using the Monterey Bay setting, characters and other minor plot points such as events to inspire their own stories. This is better suited to players who have less time to commit to RP or who want a less structured RP experience.

THE PLOT

Monterey Bay is set in the wealthy coastal town of Monterey, California. The overarching plot revolves around a group of adults connected to one another by the local public school, Otter Bay Elementary. In the beginning, many of the characters will live seemingly perfect lives and will be largely unaware of the personal and emotional struggles of those around them, even their closest friends. Tension in Monterey Bay will grow when the Otter Bay community becomes embroiled in a criminal investigation after a body is found at a school fundraiser. It is clear that somebody connected to the school is responsible for the suspicious death and players will have to decide whether their character is more invested in finding the culprit or saving their own skin. Using collaborative story-writing, strategic thinking and careful manipulation, players will consider their characters' hidden agendas and motivations and work together to either obstruct or help solve a central mystery that threatens to unravel the entire Monterey Bay community.

please 🙏🏼 can you tell about your future rps? 🙏🏼

i have like 5 rp ideas bouncing around in my head at all times. most of them largely unformed without properly writeable plots. but i will attempt, for you anon, to break them all down into something legible.

project: exc

pinterest.

insp: arthuriana / arcane / bladerunner / dragon age / westworld

sci fi & high fantasy concept because i'm endlessly fascinated with genre mash-ups and the concept of sci fi bordering on magic and core fantasy elements

the base universe is set in an arcane-esque world

this rp idea is actually the closest to becoming a rp out of all the ideas as it's a project with two other admins. keep an eye out for the second half of 2023 (potentially) !!

project: pld

pinterest

insp: tenet / 1899 / this is how you start a time war

i won't say more about this than what the inspiration reveals because the plot isn't fully concrete, but if i did somehow miraculously make this rp i'd want it to be a surprise upon first read of the plot

honestly have no idea how i would execute this currently in a rp environment but it's my pet darling that i don't want to kill

rp: danse macabre

pinterest.

insp: villains / penny dreadful / frankenstein / the picture of dorian gray / strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde

if v.e. schwab's villains duology was a gothic horror occult secret society set in the 1820's

mostly unlikely to happen due to the character's origin stories being extremely graphic; would have to consider how to make this less insane

rp: reqiuem

pinterest.

high fantasy with a sun and moon kingdom concept. not much more to the overall plot idea other than the two lands have a long history of bloodshed and war etc.

due to the sheer scale of this, very unlikely to happen unless i can recruit some admins to the cause.

rp: prometheus gambit

pinterest.

this is in fact probably a future book idea and more of a 'sci fi vibes' catch-all tag than anything else because its core concept has vacillated so much between different potential plots and genres

the base concept involves a post-apocalyptic dystopian society, cyborgs and ai, and space opera themes

i'm reluctant to do any kind of full sci fi rp without splicing it with another genre because i've never seen / don't believe a pure sci fi rp would perform that well in the rpc. i would be thrilled to be proven wrong however

feel free to slide into my dms if any of these spark joy for you !! i've never done any kind of official interest check but would love to hear what kind of rp ideas and genres people are interested in writing in 👀

Hello! I'm SAMMIE and I'm 35 years old, a lady weeb who works full-time as a custodian. I love anime, games, and manga and have been roleplaying since the old days of MSN Messenger and SKYPE. Down below are just a few rules when interacting with me and my muse.

I won't follow anyone under the age of 21. This is for my own comfort. I'm an old gal in fandom years and I would like to interact with people who are a bit older. It's nothing personal.

Please reblog memes from the source and not from me. I just like a clean activity. I'm always open to memes, so don't be afraid to send some in. I'll try to do the same.

I tend to like to roleplay plot-driven threads and slow burns. I tend to like to plot out a lot of the ideas. If this isn't your cup of tea then you may not want to follow. I tend to spam my rp partners with ideas through DMs, again if this isn't appealing, then please don't follow. I get overly excited sometimes and I apologize in advance for it.

There will be dark themes present in my roleplays. It will be tagged accordingly. I don't have any triggers that I know of but I will speak up if I feel uncomfortable with something. I expect my roleplay partners to do the same. Please, just speak up and tell me.

I have dyslexia and ADHD. So sometimes my writing may not make sense at times. I have a very hard time with grammar so I used an extension to help me with it. If you need clarification, please just ask me and I'll fix any mistakes.

There will be NSFW (Smut and spice) on this blog. It will be put under readmores and tagged accordingly. I tend to tag ships and shipart.

I am MUTUALS ONLY. This means we have to be following each other. If you wish not to interact with me any longer, then please block me. Soft blocking doesn't work because I always think tumblr is glitching. Hard blocking makes the message clear. I'm also quite selective about who I follow.

Lastly, please tell me if you have an issue with me or something in the thread. Most times misunderstandings can be fixed with a simple conversation. I know it's not easy but it's better to try to find compromise than just letting ill feelings fester. So please tell me so we can fix any problems that may happen.

I'm going to be mostly iconless for the most part. I'm just lazy and don't want to make icons.

THE HUBRIS OF AMAUROT

During the age of the Fallen, back before the lost civilization was even dubbed the fallen, it was a thriving people with advanced technology and floating cities among the sky and stars. It was mankind’s unbridled potential to reach the heavens but like many mortals, there was always war. Factions of different cities fought off the finite resources of Aether, to secure, and war over the mothercrystals that donned the land. Those down below thrived it’s the crystal's light and even worshiped it.

Upon one of the floating settlements, the City of Amaurot, technology infused with magicks thrived and formed its society. The people relied on it to live and even the most basic of tasks was done by technology. It was a seeming paradise in the sky, floating without care but even it’s carefree nature wasn’t free from the incoming War of the Magi.

To combat other cities and anything else that might stand in Amaurot’s way, the ruling government, the one known as “Her Highness”, the personification of the city and the people’s will itself, a secret project was formed. It was going to use a mixture of magic, machine and biological humans to form super soldiers known as the GLADIUS or GLADIUS units. Those chosen populace were heavily experimented on, their bodies accumulated for magicks and withstand the summoning of the magitek armor while their minds were conditioned to obey.

These men and women fought on the frontlines keeping the city safe but also often sent on suicide missions to procure resources from other floating cities and from the nations below. Amaurot was the main supporter of stealing and taking charge of the Dzemekys Mothercrystal. The battle to obtain the Mothercrystal was fierce and bloody and didn’t end until a divine being, one the Dzemkyds worshiped appeared and silenced the floating city, causing it to fall from the heavens onto scorched earth.

THE GLADIUS UNITS

The super soldiers known as GLADIUS Units are one part biological, one part machine and all parts a fierce enemy. The soldiers were once human, taken at a young age of seven and thrust into various experiments, rigorous training, and harsh conditioning to make them the perfect soldiers. Parents of the chosen children often chose to give up their child with pride knowing their sacrifice would be the benefit of the city. These children were raised with no love or warmth but seen as machines. They were stripped of their names and given assigned numbers. When they become a GLADIUS Unti, their biology is changed, they obtain the same features of darken red hair, which symbolizes the blood and heart of Amaurot, along with glowing green eyes which is a result of being so infused with Aether.

The soldiers have fearsome abilities from wielding magic, super strength and speed, and lastly able to summon magitek armor around their bodies which is capable of flight. They wield various weapons made specifically for each unit. They no longer need to eat as they get nourishment through ambient Aether around them. To many of the people, they are a perfect human being, some showing respect while others see them merely as tools for the battlefield.

The Units were conditioned to love their city and willing to die for it. They were taught to be emotionless and logical as they are the Swords of Amaurot. Their names were stripped from them the day they were given to the city. They go by set of letters and numbers.

V - Vanguard Unit. The Melee

M - Magi Unit. The Spellcaster

S - Scout Unit. The Rogue

A - All Rounder Unit. The Tactician.

Each unit has its own specialty upon the battlefield. The melee units are great for physical combat, they are stronger and faster than other units and thrive on offense. The spellcaster units are those greatly infused with Aether and able to wield spells at a quicken pace, great for turning the tides in battle. The Rogues are used as scouts and securing supplies from enemies, they are agile in combat, able to dodge and hide easily. The Tacticans are often Captains of the units, they are experienced upon the battlefield and experienced in all types of combat. They are the strongest among all units. They make battle formations and plans and commands.

A SOLDIER’S LAMENT

During the Fall of Amaurot, one soldier by the numbers A19526 was specially crafted to protect a very esteemed nobleman and magi. He was the man’s acting bodyguard, paid for by a small fortune by the Magi’s family. The family was one of the richest among the floating city. The magi grew fond of the GLADIUS unit. While the bodyguard showed no emotion, he was able to speak when spoken too. The mage found him to be endearing and even pitied him after a while as the humanity the unit had was shattered, it was suppressed.

A19526’s duty was to protect the mage and he did it diligently. Everywhere the mage went, so did the unit. Most feared this unit as he was an All Rounder, capable of many great feats. Not many dared to cross the mage’s path. So the mage’s life was peaceful until the day the city fell from the sky.

The mage accepted the downfall of his people. They had flown too close to the sun and now the god of the world was punishing them. The fondness over his bodyguard had grown so much over the years that secretly the mage wanted him to live, to become a human man once again. As the city fell and panicked screams echoed through the air; the mage moved to his workshop. He managed to trick his bodyguard into stepping into a special chamber which halted time. The mage froze the GLADIUS unit by placing him in a slumber. The mage weaved many protection spells upon the chamber making sure the magic would last for many years.

Within the chamber, time stood still. A feat not known by many except for the mage’s family. The mage looked on at the sleeping A19526 with fondness as fire engulfed him but sparing the small chamber. The crash flung the chamber deep into the ocean where it sank, forgotten by all, forgotten by the divine and by time.

Fifteen hundred years had passed and the spells the mage crafted were still there but weak. The chamber had arisen upon shallow waters on the shores of Valisthea. Upon hitting the fresh air the spells gave out and A19526 awoke in a panic falling to the sand as his armor vanished leaving his naked form confused and alone. The heat of the sun warmed his pale skin, making his blood colored hair shine, it draped over his hunched over body like a blanket.

There were no sounds nor cities seen in the blue sky, just the sound of waves crashing against the sand. The cold salt water hit the unti’s form. He had seen images of the world below but never been to it. The man was bewildered at the beauty of nature around him but soon realized that Amaurot, the mage he served, everything he once knew was gone.

BASIC INFO

A19526 is a super soldier made from the era of the Fallen. Due to serving a powerful mage of that era, his life was spared, stuck in a timestop spell in order to preserve him. The mage wanted the man to live in some way. 1500 years had passed and A19526’s pod was unearthed from the sea by various currents and washed ashore upon Valisthea where he awoke to find himself in a very different world.

He is a tall man of 6’5ft and well built. He has long red hair and glowing green eyes. The unit is stoic, unfeeling and logical. He is an All Rounder unit able to wield melee weapons and cast spells. He can also summon magitek armor that engulfs his body. The suit of armor is capable of withstanding large blasts, melee attacks and can even summon a pair of wings for flight. The unti is a pinnacle of Fallen technology, magic and hubris.

He has long forgotten his name and simply goes by A19526, GLADIUS or just unit.

Title: Through the Veil: A Journey to Elvhenan

Setting: Elvhenan, the ancient elven empire in its golden age

OC Background:

Name: Zorah Dosov

Race: Human

Background: So, Zorah is in her early 40s. She’s a woman that has led many and been reduced to one. She was a chasind shaman that was taken away from her village after a templar raid. This was around the time of the blight. So, she’s left unsure if her clan is still alive because they lived in the epicenter of it all. She spent a few years in the circle and then was sent to Aeonar for almost a decade which is a mage’s prison. She was sent because of her dabbling in blood magic. Now, she fears indoor spaces, but especially caves and tight spaces including hugs (which she should totally work on) because, at the other end, she desires affection. 

Personality: She’s very wise but extremely slow to trust. She has a tendency to be selfish as she’s had everything taken from her. So, she does like to splurge and especially devote herself to personal goals.

Scenario: Through a twist of fate and magic Zorah finds herself transported back in time to the enigmatic and resplendent era of Elvhenan. In this unfamiliar world of ancient elven gods and arcane mysteries, she faces the challenge of surviving and understanding a culture vastly different from her own. Among the elves, she encounters legendary figures, including a youthful Solas and other revered gods like Dirthamen and Falon'din.

Seeking:

Male Elven Characters (OCs or Gods): To explore romantic and complex relationships. These characters can be original creations or younger versions of elven gods from the lore.

Double-up Partners: For exploring poly dynamics and multiple storylines within Elvhenan.

Players: Must be 18 or older due to the mature nature of the roleplay and the potential for adult themes. I'm 22.

Plot Points:

Cultural exploration, uncovering the secrets and traditions of the ancient elves.

Developing romantic relationships with male elves or gods, exploring intricate and emotional dynamics.

The potential conflict between her human background and the elven society.

Decisions that could alter the course of history or affect her chance to return to her own time.

RP Style: Third person, past tense. Preference for detailed, character-driven storytelling with a focus on emotional depth and cultural exploration.

Requirements:

Strong writing skills, with good grammar and spelling.

Commitment to collaborative storytelling and character development.

Liberté ~ Révolution ~ Séplaisir is an ahistorical-fantasy, about the “Napoleonic Era”, circa 1810s.  L~R~S presents a captivating and intricate world, immersing players in an alternate version of 18th and 19th-century France, at the zenith of the French Empire; its surface exuding imperial opulence and grandeur, yet beneath this facade lies a domain shrouded in secrets, conspiracies, and enigmatic forces. 

Within this world, the people, whether they hail from the aristocracy, commoners, or shadowy subversive groups, will grapple with the intricacies of liberty, revolution, and pleasure in the form of opulence and grandeur, while allowing the feminine gender the equality never-before realized or witnessed. All this, ultimately, shaping the uncertain destiny of the Empire, unbeknownst to its inhabitants, and that possibly of all Europe. 

This alternate world brims with ahistorical elements, moral complexities, elements of magic and mysticism, and abundant opportunities for dramatic storytelling. The plot promises an engaging and morally challenging experience, featuring intricate storylines enriched with drama, intrigue, and moral dilemmas.

Against the backdrop of this alternative French Empire, complex themes, and political intrigue intertwine to craft a compelling narrative.  Individual and collective storylines may, and most likely involve a combination of roleplaying, decision-making, exploration, and the use of magic, where Members can engage in political machinations, secret societies, espionage, magic, and more as they seek to influence the fate of the empire and its inhabitants.

We spotlight creating an inclusive space for a varied range of participants, irrespective of their background or experience. Our goal is to cultivate a welcoming and enjoyable roleplaying atmosphere by positioning ourselves as a group that values a “[b][i]work-favorable[/i][/b]” mindset and adopts a “[b][i]hobby-based[/i][/b]” approach to RP. We have [b]No Word Counts[/b] or [b]Activity Checks[/b], and instead, utilize an [b]IC Account Profile[/b] in lieu of an [i]application[/i]. We actively promote the development of diverse characters, encouraging members to explore various backgrounds, cultures, and social statuses, contributing to a vibrant and dynamic storytelling environment.
