Languishing in Progress
I'm looking for prospective partner to craft a plot in an universe I created. Here's the explanation.
World
This is our modern Earth with all the intact histories, but with Magic hidden in the shadow. So it's not hard to visualize. New York is still New York, North Korea is still isolated, etc.
Magic
Magic in this world is the ability to perform Miracle. It works just like every other action, which follows the flow of input -> process -> output. Output is provided by the world, and it is the final end of the action. Process is how that output will be achieved, which usually requires manipulation of things. Finally, the input is the required payment to get the output.
Magic is distinct from other actions in terms of absurdity of its output. Punching a person is not Magic. Flying, slicing through diamond with bare hands, resurrecting the dead, only those things which could be called Miracles can be classified as Magic. Seen the other way, the more human technology progressed, the less certain thing can be called as Magic. This follows Clarke's Three Laws.
Soul
The input for True Magic is called Soul. Soul is the fuel of living being, the approximation of an individual's natural lifespan. A person's soul is determined since birth, and nothing can change it. The capacity of a soul is unquantifiable, because Soul is intangible and any effort to observe it will change how it look depending on the viewer. Because of this fact, usage of Soul to perform Magic will lower the user's lifespan. This is not a problem for majority of humans because they don't possess the knowledge to manipulate souls.
Individuals who can see Soul in visual form have what is called Soul Eyes. This is the most common uncommon ability, produced when the soul of the owner received sufficient shock. When it is activated, the eye will see and only see Soul. Soul Eyes users are practically blind in that moment, except for some rare individuals who only awoken Soul Eyes in one eye, allowing for the other eye to still see normally.
Supernatural Beings
Humans regard other intelligent Soul-based life forms as supernatural beings. These creatures' intelligent may be higher or lower than humans, and could have entirely different code of moral. They usually have different form of Soul capacity compared to humans. The strongest known supernatural being are the Crimson Kings, whose existence is Soul in corporeal form. Other supernatural beings live in the shadow of humanity, suppressed by humanity's Knight Templar.
That's the main idea, not gonna delve too deep for now. It's open for discussion.

To punch a person, the input is energy, the process is flexing and contraction of required muscles, and the output is fist swung out toward expected direction.

What I'm looking for in a partner is like this.
- Not one-liner user.
- Have meat in the reply. Not necessarily have to be a mouthful of paragraphs but should be able to progress the plot.
- Can contribute to the plot. We're in this together, just let your imagination run wild.
- Can reply quite frequently. Two weeks for one reply is...too much. I have low attention span.
- Having fun!
