sᴄᴏᴜᴛ and Cᴏʀɪɴᴀ

[corina]

Heyo Scout; here 'tis!

Any ideas? If not, I have a few I can post. ^-^

[corina]

Alright! The first two are taken from this site (plotsforall.tumblr.com) and the last is from my imagination with influence from tv shows, books, etc. ^_^

Idea 1: (view spoiler)[Muse A is a princess/prince living in a peaceful kingdom, with no knowledge of the whole other realm that exists beyond its borders. While wandering in the forest near dusk, much to their escort’s dismay, the kingdom comes under attack by creatures/beings thought only to exist in fairytales and ancient legends. When a rider comes to warn Muse A that the castle has been taken, they are beseeched to flee to safety. Fearing for their parents’ lives, Muse A refuses to run away and makes haste back to the castle. Before they can reunite with their royal parents, Muse A is captured by the enemy. Muse B is Muse A’s captor, who is under orders from their king/queen to kidnap the prince/princess for the purposes of ransom. Muse A is taken to the other realm, where no person in the kingdom has ever gone. Muse A is locked up in a cell with Muse B as their guard.

Despite the circumstances, Muse B treats Muse A with compassion, providing companionship, kind words and extra sustenance. After a few days of captivity, Muse A and Muse B are managing to get along; Muse A is terribly homesick and worried about the state of their kingdom. In an act of selflessness, Muse B helps Muse A escape. Muse B promises to keep Muse A safe from harm, as long as Muse A does not run away from them. Muse A agrees and Muse B keeps their promise. One night, while they’re asleep in the forest, soldiers from Muse A’s fallen kingdom attack. They rescue Muse A and take Muse B as prisoner. Upon returning to the castle, Muse B is imprisoned. Feeling for their captor/turned savior, Muse A shows Muse B the same compassion and care that Muse B showed them while they were imprisoned.

With the threat of backlash from the other realm looming, will Muse A and Muse B’s budding friendship survive? Will Muse A appeal to the king and queen to spare Muse B’s life and to end the impending war between realms? (hide spoiler)]

Idea 2: (view spoiler)[In a world in which people are born with soul-mates, distinguished by identical marks on their forearms, Muse A was born with no such mark and therefore destined to be alone. Ashamed of bringing an outcast into the world, Muse A’s parents abandoned them when they were just a few weeks old. A compassionate couple brought Muse A into their home and nurtured the unfortunate child as if Muse A was their own flesh and blood (though there was no official adoption). Muse B was the only child born to the couple before they took Muse A in. Muse A and Muse B were instantly inseparable, even as infants one would cry if the other wasn’t beside them. As a child, Muse B happily shared all they possessed with Muse A and was always there to comfort Muse A whenever they were sad about not having a destined love. They lived like siblings, but even more like best friends, in the same home until Muse A turned 18. Though Muse A grew to love their foster family, they felt that it was time to move on and see the world, even if there was no one waiting out there for them. Though Muse B has met their soul-mate by this time, they are adamant about taking this journey with Muse A, who they haven’t been without for so much as one day of their young life. They set off to explore the world with Muse B’s parents’ blessing with the condition that Muse B will return home in 3 weeks time to marry their rightful soul-mate, whether or not Muse A returns home with them.

Option A: Muse A and Muse B fall for each other on their travels and Muse B decides break to the agreement made with their parents/abandon their soulmate, in order to stay by Muse A’s side. Muse C, Muse B’s soulmate goes after them to bring Muse B back home.

Option B: Muse A finds someone on their journey who also doesn’t have a soul-mate mark, Muse C. Muse B returns home to be with their soulmate, Muse D. The connection (friendship and/or romance) between Muse A and Muse B endures regardless of the distance and other people between them. (hide spoiler)]

Idea 3: (view spoiler)[Muse C and Muse D have been dating for a few years, and one summer, they decide to take a road trip to visit Muse A, who lives halfway across the country. They decide to road trip, constantly keeping Muse A updated on their progress. One night, they don't call/contact Muse A. Muse A waits three days, and still without contact, decides to take matters into their own hands. Muse A tracks down Muses C and D to their last known location, where Muse A meets Muse B.

Option A: Muse B is a detective and friend of either Muse C or D, and also wants to figure out what happened to them. (This becomes a normal thriller/mystery type plot.)

Option B: Muse B is a hunter of supernatural creatures, and tells Muse A, after not being left alone, that something unnatural happened to Muses C and D. (Classic supernatural/urban fantasy theme.) (hide spoiler)]

Like any? If not, I can keep thinking. ^_^

[corina]

Ahaha its ok! Are the notifs on for this topic?

2 sounds great! Do you want option 1 or 2, and Muse A or B?

[corina]

lol I forget all the time and then take ages to reply

option B sounds good.

ahaha I could do either but ok! What were toy thinking for genders?

[corina]

Ok let's see if I have this straight:
A - me
B - you
C - you
D - me

We want genders to be balanced, yes? I was thinking A would do well as female, and then that would make D male to keep it even, and then B would be female as well, and C would be male, making the two friends both be girls. Sound alright? Unless you wanted to do any fxf or mxm.

[corina]

lol 'kay no prob just making sure

People on here usually do basic, though of course some people go all out, so it's pretty much up to us and how much work / how much leeway we want in our characters

[corina]

How about basics plus short personality and basic history? To keep it simple and so we can start the rp ^_^

[corina]

Ok, so
A - me - F
B - you - F
C - you - M
D - me - M

Does that sound ok? So doubles are even

[corina]

Ok - so everyone has a soulmate right, which you know by identical marks on the forearm. A is born without a birthmark. A and B grow up best friends. When A is 18, she wants to go see the world, even though no one is waiting for her. B goes with her, on the condition that she return in 3 weeks to marry D, her soulmate, who she has already found. A finds someone where they're traveling who also doesn't have a birthmark (C) and they hit it off.

That's the short version. Does that help any?

[corina]

I'm off for the night - I'll try to work on A and D tomorrow.

[corina]

|| Aʟʏɴᴀ Lɪsʙᴇᴛ Sᴇʀɢᴇʏᴇᴠɴᴀ || 18 || Female || Heterosexual || Unmarked || Daria Sidorchuk ||

|| Long, auburn hair || Dark blue-green eyes || 5'5" || Freckled and pale || Curvy, petite figure ||

Alyna looks quiet. She is quiet, at first. But once you can move past that, once you earn her trust and her friendship, she is a better friend than anyone - the person you have known your whole life does not give their all to their friends like Alyna does. And this is because she feels as though she has nothing but friendship. There is no possibility of love to look forwards to. There is no one waiting on the other side. She gave up hope for that long ago, back when she was five and the meaning of the blank slate of her arm, where others had birthmarks, finally clicked. Back when she was not even four and her parents left her at an orphanage, unwilling to raise an anomaly. Alyna does not remember them - she has no wish to remember them.

Smart and intelligent, she catches on fast. In a world that has shunned her, cast her out, Alyna has not responded with hate. Instead, she has built herself up around her friends, with the help of those who do not care that her arm is unblemished. She's a joy to be around, mischievous and active. She knows how to slide her way out of repercussions. But she doesn't abuse her intelligence and her way with words, she just has a little fun because she knows that once this life - this seemingly endless teenage life - is over, everyone will leave and get married and she'll be alone again, just as alone as when her parents left her on the steps of a random home and walked away.

But there is a deadly silence lurking just beneath this surface, ready to lunge at the merest threat. It's a sharp edge, cold blue-green eyes. She's not afraid of much. Alyna has already learned to live without what most take for granted. And this side, these harsh eyes, this grating silence, this cruel smile, this is only visible not when she is threatened, but when someone threatens those she loves.

Alyna was born without a Mark. The promise of love was never present on her arm. Her parents, they hoped it was faint or that it hadn't manifested yet. Rare cases, but they happened. By the time she was four, still no Mark. Her parents left her at the doorstep of an orphanage. Alyna doesn't remember them, nor does she wish to. They are traitors in her mind, cowards. Five years she stayed there. And then a family walked in the doors. Two respectable looking parents. A girl between them. Looking for a sister for this little girl. And somehow, for some reason, they chose the short girl with the vibrant red hair. They told them this girl was Unmarked. And they still took her.

It was a sudden, complete change. Where before no one had cared, suddenly she had parents. Real parents, parents who cared about her no matter her faults. Faults she couldn't help, but faults Alyna had come to feel guilty about anyways. And she had a sister too. Not just a friend, a real life sister. They became increasingly close, almost inseparable. The Blaise family loved Alyna unconditionally, and Alyna gave the Blaises, and especially Minerva Blaise, everything in return.

Who would you prefer as an FC for Muse D? I didn't have anything in mind so whatever works.

[corina]

Why such amusement over Simone Nobili? xD

Honestly, I suck at male FCs, so go wild. I trust in your judgement of the male specimen. I'll try to get Muse D up soon (maybe tonight?) and finish Muse A asap (probably not tonight :3)

[corina]

|| Mᴀʀɪᴋ Lᴏɢᴀɴ Eɴᴅᴇʀʜᴀʟʟ || 19 || Male || Heterosexual || Marked || Betrothed || Simone Nobili ||

|| Short, black, messy hair || Dark green eyes || 5'11" || Fair, lightly tanned || Lean, muscular build ||

It's hard to take Marik seriously. He's always smiling, always ready to crack a joke. Rarely does he take things seriously, unless it really is a serious situation. And it must be very serious if Marik sobers up. He's not the type of person that is easily hurt; instead of coldness or distance, Marik uses his good humor and easy-going, unaffected manner as his shield. Everything is a joke to him. He's always been the class clown, always has a witty retort or hilarity-inducing comeback for his friends, acquaintances, and teachers. He makes quick, easy friends. The girls love his smiling face and witty repertoires. He might be a social man, but he doesn't truly care about all that.

The smiles, the laughs are all a sort of hunger for adventure. Since he was nine, he's lived a relatively normal, rather boring life. Marik is not a fan of boring. He's a fan of action, of movement. He has trouble sitting still and concentrating. He's flighty. What he needs is an anchor, something to show him that there is enough right here, where he is, but he doesn't want to see that. Marik wants to do something more, be something more. But despite this, he is loyal and constant. He keeps all his promises. He is the man who will always have your back throughout everything. Once you have earned his trust, it is yours. And he always believes in those he trusts, in others, in himself. Marik will put others before himself every time, because seeing others happy is what makes him happy. His faith will be his undoing one day, but for now it is his grace.

The middle child of three, Marik grew up surrounded by love and blockaded in by the good-humor of his middle class family. Born in Slovakia, after his younger sister was born, the family moved to New York. It wasn't a hard life, far from it. Comfortable, surrounded by love. Comfortable. Simple. Normal. Boring. Marik was never cut out for boring. Yeah, he had friends at school. He was popular. He played soccer and lacrosse. He got B's. He's betrothed. But he wants to do more than just that. He wants to go back to Slovakia.

I'm sorry, when I'm tired I get wild.

and dammmn I just realized what a model-like couple Barbara Palvin and Simone Nobili will make. xD

[corina]

Err, idek, man. Whatever you choose is cool with me.
I trust in your judgement concerning the male specimen. ^-^

[corina]

Dude, literally. I have like a million and one characters promised.

[corina]

HTML is gonna be the death of me. Seriously. Fuckin' hate it sometimes.

I'm pretty sure I have 9 or so characters promised, a half dozen groups to mod, some plotlines to think up, I don't even want to think about how many replies to type up...

Yeah. I feel you, girl. A couple of centuries, how accurate.

Ugh, jet lag sucks, I'm so sorry.

[corina]

Same. I shouldn't bother. You know what, I should revert to what my templates looked like a year ago. Bold, italics, the end. No fancy nothing.

Ah, where you be at? Or if you'd rather not, that's cool too.

Hey, see what I did there - cool? I'm so tired I should go to bed

That's probably what it'll feel like tomorrow.

And I believe I shall go to bed now, before I say anything too stupid.

[corina]
