haven't written an OC in a hot minute, so i wanted to throw something out. i'm looking for rp with plot, either a) slice of life; b) something more rooted in ~horror; or c) a post-apocalyptic setting. smut is definitely optional, so feel free to ignore any references to sex in the scenarios under the cut if smut isn't your cup of tea.
also sorry this post is so long and convoluted, lmao............ my mind went absolutely apeshit
re: slice of life, i originally had ren here as an SFX guy, specifically for creating the effects you hear in horror films, shows, games, whatever, as well as a composer (his soundtrack stuff is also very eerie and awful and hair-raising). i'm a sucker for roommates-to-more and would dig that always, but i wouldn't be opposed to a co-worker, an apprentice in the business, an actor from the media he's making sound for, or just someone he ends up sitting by on the bus in the middle of shitfuck traffic. super open, so throw stuff at me.
re: horror, i like the idea of a silent hill-esque setting, in that it's more atmospheric horror with "levels" of reality and nightmare monsters mixed in depending on the reality, rather than the cheesy, jumpscare-style stuff. they could both be innocents stuck in some cursed hell town, or i could play ren as a member of some demon-worshipping cult who tried to escape once except, obviously, he's come back home and taken someone with him (possibly to sacrifice, or use as a human vessel for the demon to possess to take over the world, or we can put a dumb mpreg or a/b/o spin to it and make it so ren has to do the seeding, or whatever other ideas you might have). if we go the innocents route, i'd prefer a relatively good ending where they eventually get to escape. if we go the cult route then i don't care if it's a good or bad end; we can just go with the flow and see if they manage to escape or if your character's stuck in hell forever. i can NPC monsters here easy, though would like to keep monsterfucking out of the picture (unless ren is the human-shifted-into-a-monster, lol).
re: post-apocalyptics, i'm a sucker for the population having died by disease/zombie apocalypse-type things or whatever. i also really, really like scenes where they find little moments in the middle of all the horror to just... like, relax. i'm not opposed to threads where we write out more action/adventure type scenes, though, and i'm always happy to NPC zombies and stuff as we go along.
i know there's a ton of plot details up there (esp. for the horror route), but HONESTLY, i'm a huge fan of winging things! i like discussing backstories and possible histories and threading flashbacks and such out, but i'm not too big on plotting the ~entire RP up until the end. i like surprises! i hope you do, too.
journals only, please. i'd also prefer playing with muses 35+ in age, since i'm playing ren at 44 and don't really dig age gaps. i don't have any preferred PBs for this, but i'll probably stick with my obscure one for myself because i'm too lazy to make icons again. for smut, i prefer writing dominant tops and am not really into writing with switches or powerbottoms (but, again, smut's totally optional).
