[F4F] You were meant for more than this, and there are those who will make sure of it [Fantasy]
It had been such a peaceful morning. The air was reeking of manure, some of the other inmates were crying about something, and the mice were having the best time of their lives chewing on whatever they could find. This tranquility was shattered when the stone walls of the prison you had been thrown in were...blown apart, stone and brick flying in every direction and almost taking your head off. Thankfully, the steel bars saved your life, and it was probably the only time you were thankful to have them there, caging you in.
Confusion was ripe in the air. Even guards in the prison dungeon did not understand what was happening until a messenger came and shouted:
“We’re under attack! Commander orders all men to the walls! Come on!”
Well, that cleared things up. Not that it helped you much. Even when all the guards rushed off, leaving the prisoners unwatched and alone, you had no way of using the situation to your advantage. The blacksmiths who had forged the bars had done their job too well. Your meager flesh and bones were not good enough this time. Your lamentation, however, was interrupted by slow footsteps descending down the prison dungeon stairs. The figure that emerged was not one you had ever seen or even imagined ever seeing.
A female, by the looks of it. Average height, cloaked in a dark cloak and hood. The only feature of hers that stood out was her facemask and royal purple hair that flowed down the sides of her head. Now that she had descended, her footsteps were as silent as a feline’s and twice as agile. She stopped right in the middle of the dungeon floor, looking around at all the prisoners with a disinterested look.
“Is there anyone here who was arrested in Hollowbark?”
Your heart probably skipped a beat when you realized she was talking about you. With all that was happening, it probably wasn’t the wisest move to raise your hand, or being blown apart would most likely follow. Fortunately for you, another man in another cell got up and approached the bars of his cell, a crazed look in his eyes.
“Why don’t you take off that cloak and sit on my lap? Then I’ll maybe tell you where I’m from, you little sl-”
The poor fool didn’t get to finish his sentence before the mysterious woman reached for something in her cloak, pulled it out, and blasted the man’s head off with a flintlock pistol shot. Flesh, blood, and whatever little brain cells the man had were splattered all across the nearby wall, a warning to those who continued to play games and no answer her.
“I’ll ask again. Is there anyone here from Hollowbark?”
Perhaps it was your look, or the drop of sweat on your brow, but the strange woman’s head turned towards you, and she proceeded to approach your cell, leaning close to the bars to have a look at you, her exotic purple eyes looking you up and down.
“You. It’s you, isn’t it?”
Before you could answer, she had already holstered her pistol and produced a set of keys, and just like that, in the blink of an eye, the doors to your cell opened up. Like a flash, the woman was in front of you, her hand slamming onto your face, cupping your jaw, turning your head from one side, then to the other, then up, then down as she took a long, good look at you up close.
“You’re certainly the one.” After confirming that, the woman let go of your face and relaxed a bit, exhaling. “We’re getting out of here. You will follow me, understood? Keep close and don’t wander off. Up the stairs, there’s a corpse. Make sure to grab his sword.”
Stepping away from you, the woman turned like a hurricane, her cloak fluttering and the scent of lavender being left in her wake. Not wasting any time, she made her way towards the stairs leading to freedom, but stopped for a moment to look back.
“I am called Akari, and I have sworn to get you out of here alive. Don’t make me fail in my vow.”

How you proceed and what kind of character you make is entirely up to you. Someone strong, or someone weak. Someone determined, or a total waste of life. Everyone has their purpose in this story. Beautiful and ugly alike, for it’s the journey that matters, not how you start it. A trek through the unknown lands, full of danger. A stay in magnificent towns, full of intrigue and the company of characters, both cute and awful.
I do intend to be a sort of a GM for this story, since I have ideas for many, many characters you would interact with, romancable and not. At the end of the day, your character would be the main one, the story centering around them and their journey of self discovery, fate, and destiny. And if you happen to have a butt load of fun along the way - why not? There is never any rush with me. Destiny can wait if you want to have a steamy sauna scene. Your path is your own to determine.
The same goes for sexuality, kinks, and to some extent race. For this plot, I expect from you a human character. I know, I know...boring, duh, but if I can have one thing in this RP, it’s a love for humans. Your character could be straight, bi, or gay. They can have one romantic interest, many, or none at all. Nothing in this world is black and white; the same goes for the character’s feelings. As for the kinks, I’ve ascended beyond a need for lists, since I consider myself without limits. I’ll do pretty much any kink as long as it makes sense for the plot. As to say...I won’t do anything too unrealistic that would shatter my sense of reality. Nothing that defied the laws of common sense and gravity (looking at you hyper people). I do like it when people come to me with their favorite kinks, and not their entire kink lists. That can come later, but what I’m more interested in is...something that sets them apart, something that says more about your personality as a writer, or your character. The kinks should reflect your character. So do mention your top 3, or something close to that, but before writing them down, do think: do they make sense for your character? If yes, I’ll most probably do them <3.
I, of course, also prefer people who are literate, like to write, and express themselves. People who like not only words, but visual/sound cues (I’ll bombard you with my characters’ favorite weapons/sunday clothes/armors). I am not one to jump into a story without plotting, and rushing me is never a good idea. Once we’re both happy with what we’ve discussed, then yes, let’s start, not before. Banter is half the fun in finding an RP partner.
With my preferences, interests, and biography, I could go on and on for hours on end, but I believe I’ve said enough to grab your attention, reader. If you like what I’ve proposed, message me promptly, and let’s talk. If not, that’s alright, honey. I’ll have more plots to come about different topics and in different settings, as soon as the inspiration hits me. Oooh, and that reminds me: if you have a better idea or proposal for any kind of changes for this story, I’m all ears. RP is, of course, a cooperative work, so I do want all your ideas and proposed changes so we can make the story as good as it can possibly be.
With that said,
I have spoken.
