The Flower..Not the Crime
About me: I am Sphinx, female, and I am a east coast USA'er. I love historical stuff but that isn't the only things I enjoy. I will roleplay just about anything as long as it's interesting and done well.
My expectations: Here is the crappy part because I feel like roleplay shouldn't have expectations but it kinda does have to
. Mostly because you live and learn and i have had a few experiences here to warrant some guidelines.
Fandoms (as people call them):
Boardwalk Empire
Sons of Anarchy
Game of Thrones
Peaky Blinders
Taboo (Currently would LOVE to RP something like this tv series)
Pairings: (I do FxM, MxM and play both genders well, though I love to play the female most times!)
All of the above are negotiable, changeable, or open to be talked about. I LOVE OTHER IDEAS TOO. The point is to crawl around in someone else's head and create something beautiful.
TLDR: I will play anything: Historical, Medieval, Modern, Post-apocalyptic, Victorian, Steampunk, or anything in between not listed.
PLEASE chat me up if you don't see anything here listed. If you wanna come up with something or have an idea and like what I have done on the forum, or just wanna chat because I'm pretty awesome - hit me up with a PM or reply here. Also, Discord: Sphinx#9875

Plot #1: I was thinking that maybe a mean King of somewhere, (perhaps even as primitive as viking-esque) has a bane of his existence that is a female, and she is an assassin/theft type whom works for another Kingdom. She terrorizes him to the point that she attempts to kidnap his son and in that botched kidnap the boy ends up dying. He catches her and keeps her prisoner there. She ends up falling for him because she gets to study him and learns he is nothing like her employers think. He gets to appreciate her cunning and enjoys her bravado. Two people who hate each other ending up finding emotions that wax and wane for each other in a situation where they both know it's overly wrong for her to think of him as anything but her cruel enemy and him much the same of her but tack on the added grieving father, husband, etc.
Plot #2: Muse A (Female) is married to Muse B (Male) who is brothers or best friends with Muse C (Male). Muse A finds out that Muse B is planning on going off to war with Muse C. Leaving her alone for a period of time, Muse C returns with news that Muse B has been killed. Mourning, Muse A finds that having Muse C stay with her leaves her to explore repressed emotions for him that she had been hiding.
Plot #3: Muse A is a young queen who has married into a dysfunctional royal family. Though her husband, the king, is even-tempered and kind-hearted, there are constant feuds between the king’s siblings who rule the neighboring kingdoms. During a lavish banquet, a fierce swordfight breaks out between rival members of the noble family and the good king is slain in the process of trying to keep the peace. Sadness sweeps over the kingdom and other rulers from far and wide come to the funeral to pay their condolences to the bereaved queen. Muse B, a beautiful elf who is next in line to their throne, dutifully makes the journey on behalf of their ailing father though they want nothing to do with kingship or the responsibilities that the crown entails. When Muse B meets Muse A they discover that they are kindred spirits, Muse A never wanted to be royalty either. The unlikely pair decide to run away together in the dead of night, consequences be damned.

Plot #1: Muse A and a handful of friends take a much-needed trip down to a popular beach destination once school is out for the summer. With stressful finals and assorted messy breakups to recover from, several days of partying on the resort grounds is just what the doctor ordered. Muse A and pals make a concerted effort to dedicate their vacation to the fine arts of drinking and debauchery. Muse A gets off to an early start of it when they meet Muse B on the beach. Since both parties are looking for a no-strings good time, no one bats an eye when the acquaintances head back to the hotel together. In the morning, Muse B quietly slips out to avoid any awkward lingering and Muse A is content with that minus the fact that they don’t know how to contact Muse B to hang out again. Not too bummed about it however, Muse A moves on with their day and goes out with friends later on. Muse A’s pleasantly surprised to encounter Muse B as they’re walking to dinner and Muse A figures it’s their chance to ask for a number. Muse B seems a little confused by Muse A’s approach at first, but after several minutes of flirtatious banter, they give up the digits. When Muse A shows up at Muse B’s hotel room door that night for drinks, Muse A is shocked to learn that Muse B has an identical twin (Muse C). Muse A isn’t sure which twin they hooked up with, but they are sure that things have just gotten more interesting.

In an attempt to stop Muse B, Muse A steals one of their father’s swords and holds the pirate at sword point. Since Muse A has never had any kind of training, they are easily overpowered by Muse B.

Alien Plot #1: Several years of diplomatic communications with extraterrestrial beings have culminated in peace between aliens and humans. With no imminent threat of harm, earthly life continues as usual and the existence of aliens is no longer something to fear but something to be excited about. Aliens and humans have agreed to work together for the betterment of both worlds; aliens are granted access to natural resources on earth that they cannot find on their own planet, and in exchange they offer earth access to advanced technologies that even the brightest humans could not conceive. The aliens are sending a troop of their kind to earth on the first ever collection mission this evening. Government officials will meet them at the designated landing site and one lucky civilian, chosen by a lottery drawing, will be invited. Muse A is this lucky civilian who has won the privilege of hosting an alien ambassador in their home for the duration of the extraterrestrials’ visit. Muse A will be compensated monetarily and also have bragging rights over a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Muse B, the alien ambassador who will stay in Muse A’s home, is charged with the task of learning about modern earth culture and seeing how far humanity has advanced in the last few decades. The aliens can mimic the appearance of humans nearly perfectly due to an ability to shift the structure of their DNA at will. Who will learn more from whom?
Post Apoc Plot #2: In a post-apocalyptic world, where natural resources once thought to be infinite in supply have become scarce, humankind has become hostile and joyless. The very few who have not lost their will to be happy, despite grim circumstances, have joined up with a mobile task force (the traveling circus) to spread merriment to the masses and to remind people of better times. Muse A, sweet and shy, and Muse B, confident and blunt, are both performers in the traveling circus. They travel with a small band of others and the Muse B is the ringleader between town establishments. Unbeknownst to Muse A the ringleader (Muse B) has been stockpiling resources smuggled from each town they’ve visited, branding them all as criminals. When Muse A accidentally discovers this secret stash, they immediately fear for their safety, decides to run away from the circus but it’s not as simple to get away as they think.
