@rated r....... Thank you.. I was just thinking about this the other day. I think it's a great idea. I'm not up for it, I'm down for it. Haha, I'm so punny.

thanks c:
and by the way; i appreciate puns of all sorts.
like the other day, my friends and i put on a show about puns.
it was basically just a play on words.
...
badoomchhhsssss.

ANYWAYS, i found this deer editable on the oekaki boards,
and i was thinking instead of finding pictures,
we could use the editable to make our characters and show some sort of distinct marking that
makes one deer different from the other.
you know what i'm saying?

My brain was alive with ideas last night (as it has always is one in the morning) and I came up with a possible roleplay plot idea that I want to share.

It takes place in a fantasy realm (with fairies and other creatures) focusing on a species called kanglib, half the size of an average human being with large wasp like wings. There bodies are crooked and disorder, and their skin hue is in blue and or purple shades. They're a fierce race that work around superstitions and don't listen to reason. The dying king of their race, a wise and kind kanglib, gives a close human friend the authority to become king (because of his distrust among his own kind) with hope of this man setting the race in the right course. When the new king was crowned, and his children and him moved into the castle walls, disasters broke out. To the human eye it was coincidence, to the kanglib eye it was black magic.

A human care taker for the children, and a personal friend of the king, watched the kanglibs hate grow for the new king. Despite her advice to leave the kingdom, he stayed, determined to honor the former kanglib king and change them. When the race was getting nasty, and several assassinations were attempted, the caretaker took his children away from the kingdom for their protection on behalf of the kings own instructions. Despite his efforts, the young king was overthrown, and killed. When the disasters continued, the kanglib accused his current living brood of their misfortunes, and were determined to wipe out his kin.

They're are four children.

John Sword - (Formally Robin Belldome) - Seventeen
Amelia Glory - (Formally Marie Belldome) - Fifteen
Anne Bakes - (Formally Daisy Belldome) - Fourteen
Thomas Jakes - (Formally Milo Belldome) - Ten

'Formally known as' was their given name from their original father. Their new names are given from their foster parents. Their new names is what they will be acquainted with until they discover their heritage. Thomas was a newborn when they were taken away, which means that their mother had recently died of child birth. D:

Anyways the kanglib are slow and didn't realize that he had children, and were baffled for a number of years when their unlucky days continued. That and combined with their slow progress on tracking them. But as they go they make sharper progress and are closing in on the children, basically it's up them to unite together and find a way to deal with the kanglib.

I'll also be opening up another position outside of their family, I believe it's going to be the step sister/brother of the eldest son.

i'd definitely be interested in this playing amelia c;

I've been looking for a literate military roleplay lately but I've noticed that most of the roleplaying community is not attracted to the kind of RP I like.
My RP idea was a fxf military RP mostly revolving around action and less of the romance found in roleplays, centered on the two being deployed to Afghanistan and becoming prisoners of war and then escaping into enemy territory. It has a super detailed plot with information I have because I studied maps and like to keep up with current events and most of the plot also is true to the prisoner of war autobiographies and histories I have also studied. As well as military policies that I know from being in the military.
But most people the idea has attracted want me to play the male and them the female, their character not in the military, and for it to center around romance. I did find one or two amazing partners but the other five or six always seem to fall in that category and it confuses me. I'm okay with it but it isn't exactly what I'm looking for.
It is like most people who play fxf or mxm are not really into it themselves but like the idea of it. Along the same lines as straight guys who like watching lesbian pornography.
Have any of you guys stumbled across many other RPers who RP mxm or fxf and are themselves not merely bi-curious or interested in it but actually lesbian or gay and prefer their characters to be lesbian or gay because that is easier for them to roleplay? I have one or two but really not that many.


As for the military part... I mean there are people who like the slice of life sometimes. But that is usually high-school or college or some sort of teen club thing. As for the military theme, I guess that is just because many people don't know much about the military unless they have personal experience. So I can't really complain.

Is it because CS mostly attracts teenage roleplayers? Or people usually outgrow roleplaying desires and get distracted by career and life once out of high school or college?
Is there another roleplaying world where adults like to roleplay adult themes (not just sexual) and they view it of more than a... I guess they view it more as normal rather than this magical weird world many people who roleplay on here view it as? Like pregnancy, government involvement, normal hardships adults face, the actual emotional and intimate side of a relationship that is more normal than these "honeymoon stage" relationships that many RPs here seem to be focused on and can't get out of?

I'm just musing and I'm sure none of that really made sense. If anyone has any input to add I would really appreciate it, though.

@redwyn i wouldn't mind your idea at all. i have to admit that i'm a middle straight teen at this stage, and i wouldn't mind doing a fxf military role-play at all. i think a military role-play is a wonderful idea. it could even be a small group role-play, with all characters female if you'd like, and have them be one troop in the military. i'm not into extremely romantic role-plays; i can understand your views on how a role-play should be realistic, not all that disney perfect love, you know?

[rose;]

I really feel that a lot of the role=players around here are not into the military style and making it realistic because they don't know much about it. They can pretend to know it, they can have interest in it, but they aren't going to really know it unless they do quite a bit of research, and most aren't willing to do that, so most military things instead focus around romance.
Now, someone who has military experience, so most likely an adult, would be more interested in doing something realistic with it.
At least, that's my view on it.

And for the fxf or mxm stuff I'm not quite sure really what you even mean. Why would it be wrong for a straight person to want to role-play homsexual males or females if they are not even bi-curious?

It is like the fxf part is regarded as some sort of wild sexual fetish, for one. It is like most people who play fxf or mxm are not really into it themselves but like the idea of it. Along the same lines as straight guys who like watching lesbian pornography.

I agree, as an older member on this site I do sometimes tire of roleplaying on here. Which is why I go on an adult roleplaying site as well, to make sure I have an equal balance of both worlds. (Because deep down I still love playing wolves, and teenagers).

I would be interested in the idea with you, but I'm sort of uncomfortable with homosexual relationships. Which us strange being bi-sexual myself. But I just like playing straight romances. ^^;

I love military role-plays, I tried to make one once but it failed. I would, but I'm not good at fxf at all Dx I'm sorry, love.

Yeah, that's what I figured so that's why I said that in my post. I can't really complain on that part.

There is nothing wrong with it. I actually even encourage people to do it if they are comfortable with it.
It just seems like most people who aren't into it in their own life roleplay it a little strangely. Like they make a bigger deal out of it than someone who is used to it, incorporating more steriotypes and not able to add much variety to their characters.




I am so excited that so many people are actually into this! I'm considering building an off-site military roleplay after finals are over next week and adding lots of information so people would not have to research it themselves. People can RP mxm, fxf, mxf, or just no relationships at all and not have it as such a big deal. So it is good to know that there are people actually interested in that kind of thing.

I would definately join this. It would give me a chance to develop one of my guy characters from the book I'm working on now. I'm actually really fascinated with the military - I'm always bugging my dad for information on it. >.<
