Update 5/08/2016 - Feeling some Victorian Era/ Regency England thing (maybe some immortals, arranged marriages)
Hello my sweet history nerd out there! As you've seen, I'm looking for some historical RPs so let's get into things.
OPEN TO IDEAS AND PAIRINGS.

RULES
-
Let's be clear here, I'm mostly into MxF (booooo being heard in the background) BUT in case of doubling and if you want a FxF or MxM for your character(s) then perhaps you could convince me to go for that. Now, I'm mostly playing females (boooo again) but my males are some sexy assholes so don't you dare say I can't play a male. Sometimes it seems to me that I'm better at playing males, but again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So, I'm looking for someone to either play a male or double + to play other characters we would need, it is a big universe after all. Don't contact me if you won't treat your male character and female character equally.
Give me detail. I can write up to 2000 words (3000 if I am so into it), especially for starters. Meaaaaning, I need someone detailed. Tell me how her hair was, if she liked the weather, if she was moody, if she noticed that bird singing. Feed me. My lowest would probably be 500 words for a character. I might ask for a sample before we start and I can provide you with one too.
Romance is what I live for! Though there is more than that, I want action, drama and conflict. Bring it on.
English is not my main language, meaning I won't cut your head off if you have mistakes in your reply. I might have some too, but I always check my replies for mistakes before I send them.
Activity. Well, here is a long story. I'm in European eastern time zone, meaning it is quite hard for me to find partners that are not ahead or behind me with like 7-10 hours. Buuuuut, doesn't matter to me that much. One detailed and long reply per day works for me, if more, even better.
Tell me if you feel it doesn't work. Don't leave me hanging or lie to me that you're busy, while you're actually replying to other people. I will always find out if you lie, believe me and that will make me drop you in a second. We could always skip to an important part or restart or anything, don't be afraid to tell me what is on your mind.
I love OOC talk. Tell me how your day was, if anything is wrong and I will do the same. It keeps me more interested in the RP and I like to make virtual friends! And in the same time, nudge me if I didn't respond without telling you anything and I will do the same!
When it comes to face claims, I only go for realistic. I want my stories to come to life and an anime face claim won't help me at all with that, I have nothing against it, though, it is not in my tastes. I accept realistic art or just description (though, it has to be detailed, I won't just settle for hair color and eye color).

CRAVINGS AND IDEAS

WORLD WAR I
I have to blame movies, stories I've heard and my History class.
For this time period I have a plot based on a movie, yes. 'Flyboys', I loved that movie especially that is based on real events, though it is quite judged for the History accuracy. After all, we can't have perfect accuracy in anything if we take it that way but anyways, let's start. A group of young Americans go to France to fight in the French Air Service , L'Aéronautique militaire. Here we would have our male character, that joined because his personal reasons. During a German attack, the pilot finds himself in the need of going for a forced landing on a field, seemingly close to a small farm. Here we have a french girl that lives with her mother. But the pilot is in luck, she speaks English is seemingly interested in what happened, trying to offer her assistance in case he is hurt. He is fine, though, to get her attention he lies that his arm is quite hurting and he would need a check. He is invited in her house, though her mother doesn't look at him with good eyes.
From then on, he continues to visit, courting the girl despite her hesitations about his risky profession. But during one of his visits, he finds the farm devastated and no sign of her or her mother. He finds just a hurried note in which she tells him she left for Paris with her mother, afraid of the Germans attacks. He is heartbroken but he continues to remain in the French Air Service. He kills one of the leaders of the Germans Air Force, destroys their base with his mates. He is seen as a war hero, but he goes to Paris after the girl, even if two years passed. Only that things change. (She is engaged perhaps? We will see.)
*Again, open for doubling.
WORLD WAR II
I'm a huge lover of World War Two, I can't deny it. Mostly because the movies I've seen and because it was the one that I liked the most to learn about during my classes.
First, I have a small plot I would like to try. I don't think you've seen the movie 'The Edge of Love' but it is quite based on the action of it, though, there's no need for you to watch it. So getting to the plot, it would have as main characters a nightclub singer and a British Army officer. As for the starting point I had a mind a little bit of flirtatious meeting in which he is trying to get on her good side and from here I have two options:
1) A bombing attack in which the club is affected, bringing them close as he tries to calm her down.
2) After their 'small meeting', the singer leaves the club but he follows her as he notices a strange man going after her.
And from then we would work on their relationship. I want some psychology included though, perhaps she doesn't want to get involved with him because she had seen how her family was affected by war (dead parent perhaps, ill mother because the longing for her husband?) though she can't stay away? Either we would get them engaged or she would remain loyal to him, I would want to test the relationship by sending him to war. I would like to see how they are affected by that and see what would happen after he returns, is she still with her heart to him? We could get quite a conflict involving another man.
*Doubling details: Her sister involved, the quiet girl that gets pulled in the club along with her sister. I could get her together with a playboy poet that might get in trouble with the law, prison perhaps or he has to get into military? I'm still trying to develop it.
Another small plot, this one is pretty much prepared for doubling, but we could go with just one pairing. A and B are sisters, though they don't seem like it. A is wild and seductive, knowing how to get herself liked while B is gentle, caring and seems to get easily hurt, but there is some wildness somewhere. Both A and B get attention of men and they know it. The war just started, but it seems that doesn't stop the parties, especially the ones held when the soldiers are coming in a new town/ city/ country. At the impulse of A, both sisters end up in one of the parties full of smoke, alcohol and single men. A get herself the attention of C, the young general that invites her to a dance. B gets herself in an unwanted situation when a drunk soldier starts to get handsy, being saved by D, a war pilot. And sparks fly in that night, though they have little time to develop their feelings and little time to decide what they want to do. C and D will soon have to return into the war and everything is unsure.
*Again, psychology. I would like to see the bond that would form between the sisters while their lovers are gone to the war, see the choices. Move on or remain?
1700-1800-1900
Another craving of mine, though I don't have a structured imagine in my mind. Though, I would be something along the lines of Pride of Prejudice, Jane Austen's books perhaps? Arranged marriages, impossible love and all of these! So if you have anything in mind, or a pairing, I'm open to anything. In this time periods the Victorian Era is included too and let's be serious, who doesn't love it? I'm really craving a RP in which the characters would meet during a masquerade ball.
Edit: Got some plots in my mind, if interested I will let you know about them in PM.
SMALL PLOT IDEA
Vampire x Human set in either Victorian Era or Regency England: During a ball placed at the top of the season, one immortal lord finds his old lost love he met during these many centuries reincarnated in a woman.
1900-2000 (not a big craving, but why not?)
Rock n' Roll, bad boys with pretty hair, hippies, wasted teenagers, bring it on!
