UnderBough
Raiser of Eyebrows
Hello all! I introduced myself on the intro thread, but I figured I'd stick my interests here as well. I've been roleplaying since early middle school (so over a decade) and enjoy roleplaying in original fantasy/speculative settings, historical settings, and fandom settings, but I am open to other things. Just ask!
My style is usually 3rd person past tense and while I do try to write at least two paragraphs, I may go shorter or longer depending on the day and my energy level. Please no one-liners! Give me something to work with.
I do not roleplay romances between player characters.
My fandoms are as follows in order of current interest. Let me know if any of these spark your interest, and ask me if I'm part of any other fandoms because there's no way I could list all of them.
I'm working through his filmography this year and would love to roleplay in some of those settings! Got a couple of the top ones listed up there, but I'm good for most of 'em. Not Mad Love, though.
Plot Ideas:
This will grow and change as I think of new things and lose interest in others.
1: Arsenic and Old Lace. You don't necessarily have to know the fandom; I can give you a rundown or you can watch the movie for free on the Internet Archive! I'd like someone to play a canon character or an oc opposite my Jonathan Brewster and Einstein. The fellas would be trying to get a plastic surgery business started in the old Brewster House or somewhere nearby. You as a player would have the opportunity to try and find out what's going on, then help or hinder their work as they attempt to entice mafia members to employ their services. That's just the rough idea.
2. A Star Wars roleplay taking place between 19 BBY and 5 ABY with a focus on organized crime, politics, and conflicts between the Outer Rim and Core Worlds. I've got a couple characters the could work, some canon, some original: A few humans [clones included], a Nautolan, a morally neutral Hutt, a Phindian, and an oc from a homebrew race called Morellians.
3. The Boogie Man Will Get You: One doesn't have to know the plot of this movie at all for this particular roleplay. I'm looking to explore the life of Nathaniel Billings before the events of the film--it's implied that he comes from an affluential family but seems to be something of a black sheep (his housekeeper states that she dropped him on his head as a baby). I want to explore his youth and whether he had siblings, what his relationship to his parents was like, and how he came to own the tavern that's been in the family since 1764. Potential characters for a partner would be a sibling, a parent, a close friend/classmate, or anyone else you want to throw in there! I'm open to suggestions.
One final point of order: Please PM me if you're interested in roleplaying rather than posting down here in the thread; I'm gonna try and reserve that area for bumps and I like to keep things tidy! It's not a big deal if you forget, and I do actually encourage questions on clarifying language to be put in the thread where others can see. Thanks for reading!
