Supreme ruler of all things (that I wrote)
First of all, turn on the song “Man or a Monster” by Sam Tinnesz for the accompanying soundtrack. I recommend skimming the prompt, listening to the song once, and then rereading with the second play of the song for full effect.
If you have Spotify I happen to have the link handy:
Unchecked wildfire swept through, obliterating the once majestic forested landscape. Erosion warred with rising ruddy colored and black charred hills.
- *When you close your eyes, what do you see?*
The abandoned nearby towns weren’t faring any better.
- *Do you hold the light or is darkness underneath?*
There were still plenty of places for the monsters to hide.
*In your hands, there's a touch that can heal*
The invasion brought them in by the millions.
*But in those same hands, is the power to kill*
But the hunters became the hunted.
- *Are you a man or a monster?*
She was on a hunt today. The stuttering zing of a four wheeler had most of her attention.
-
She was on the track of a Megalith, one of the largest, if not the largest of the foreign fauna released on earth.
-
It was apparently designed to crush into extinction any other large native fauna the earth could provide in resistance to the invasion.
- *When you look at yourself, are you a man
Or a monster?*
Its scream and thunderous charge told her that, not only had she found it, but it found someone else too.
- *It's so hard to tell which side you're on*
If she could swear without setting the profanity filter off she would have, “No! No! No! No!”
- *One day is Hell, the next day is the dawn*
Turning she raced for the top of the hill in hopes of getting a shot before it was too late.
- *The lines are blurred, you keep rubbing your eyes*
A Megalith could outpace a wheeler.
- *The tables turn, now it's time to survive*
She unfolded it’s tripod and swung the miniaturized RPG into place…
-
The monstrosity’s insect-like head and dragonish jaw came into the valley as a wheeler and rider raced downhill—it’s only hope of escape.
-
She took aim as the wheeler’s engineer spun up, eyes on target, she couldn’t know what was wrong, but she knew it’s wheels couldn’t be on the ground.
-
She got her cross hairs on one of the half dozen eyes and the discharge shock wave rolled through her.
-
The demon's scream told her she’d made her mark, not a surprise when she was once state of the art targeting and combat equipment.
- *You can't take back the damage you've done*
She spotted the wheeler at the creature's feet and really wished she could swear. It might alright be too late, and that thing was not yet dead.
- *Oh, you can hide but you can't run*
She hit her top speed running down hill as the alien animal thrashed, it could crush him at any time.
- *No, you can't take back the damage you've done*
And he was desperately trying to pull the pinned wheeler from its grave. One of the tires bent…
- *Afraid of what you might become*
He could be a dead man without that wheeler. His livelihood. But it wasn’t worth his life now.
-
“Run!” She screamed. “*Run!!*”
He clearly heard her. But it seemed he was already too panicked. He dove back in.
His only hope was if she could get there before the Magelith could recover enough to decide to chew on that wheeler.
-
A massive forelimb swung high into the air and she sprinted, diving on him to get him away from the broken vehicle.
She felt one of the monster’s spines smash through body and parts as they found the ground. The alien pulled its arm out of her and away—they still had time to get clear!
-
Shoving to her feet she threw him, almost rag doll to his own feet, “**Run!!**”
-
For a moment she was face to face with a child—young man who was terrified and clearly understood she was injured. But then he surprised her. He’d recovered some kind of weapon from the wheeler saddle bag.
-
He pointed up at the head and fired.
-
His weapon discharged with a white lightning. Some of it arched off of her. EMP? That was some gun. New tech.
-
The Megalith groaned one last time and fell.
Usually she could take an EMP, but not with holes ripped in her circuits. It did not *feel* good. She sank to her knees and lowered herself back as she pulled the damaged report. She knew some of it was old, but the important stuff wasn’t.
She was a CombatUnit. She was made to—designed to fight back against the invasion. But the invasion was mostly over now. It was just a few remnants like this monster… and her.
“What took you so long to shoot?” She couldn’t make sense of it. Did he have another shooter in the area? A team? Why hadn’t they backed him up? Or had he blown his cover before they were ready? Or was he really just some kid out here running around?
(Disclaimer: RPN doesn’t like my phone/device and occasionally introduces text errors. I apologize I will proofread a couple of extra times.)
This is not the only prompt I have/I’m interested in but it’s the only one I had handy.
I’m always looking for my soulmate RP partner, even if you’re not 100% sure, introduce yourself anyways. My interest checks are always open.
I have a bunch of ideas but I prefer to get to know you a bit before we start plotting. DM me if you're available!

This is not the only prompt I have/I’m interested in but it’s the only one I had handy.
I’m always looking for my soulmate RP partner, even if you’re not 100% sure, introduce yourself anyways. My interest checks are always open.
Someone who is/has:
~ Roleplayed +2 years.
~ Committed, long term partner(s).
~ Active, preferably multiple times a day.
~ Uses Discord.
~ Spelling and Grammar: understandable/readable.
~ Quality over quantity. **Just let me know up front what length you’re comfortable with.**
~ Male characters or at least NB.
For at least one main role.
Will double if you have something in mind you want me to play.
~ MxF Romance, yes please.
I can be talked out of doing romance but that’s what I’m craving right now so good luck.
~ I don’t do face-claims.
~ No fandoms…
That’s usually a completely different animal than the role play I’m looking for.
~ No triggers here/if you do, tell me.
I like to go into dark backstories.
~ Writing sample,
Yeah I kinda need one, your last good post will do.

- -I’ve roleplayed for 10+years
-
(Well before I could write worth beans) and I’m looking for a serious long term partner, so if you are prone to ghosting for a month or so at a time… (good luck with your search have a nice day.) I have a tendency to lose interest if it takes weeks for someone to post. That doesn’t include time to recover, do life, emergencies, ect. This should be a healthy relationship.
- -Discord.
-
I am stranded on my cellular data at work, which will significantly impact my replies most evenings. If my home wifi is down I dead in the water. Plus RPN’s text editing introduces quite a few errors and that’s frustrating especially for the length of post I normally roleplay with.
- -I’m “Advanced Literate,” 3+ paragraphs average
-
I’m primarily seeking other Advanced partners. Your spelling and grammar does NOT have to be perfect, just understandable. But for the love of god please use quotes around dialogue. I’m not perfect, and I post when I’m exhausted, I’m not going to catch every mistake but my writing is readable and won’t bother most people. Sometimes I use sentence fragments. On purpose. Sometimes I write run on sentences because one thought leads to another, but it doesn’t make sense in my brain to end the sentence yet; get over it.
- -Quality over quantity.
-
**Again: just let me know up front what length you’re comfortable with.** You need to be able to carry the story line and give me a decent idea of where the scene is heading. Sometimes people can’t do that even if they can write novel sized posts. Sometimes that can be accomplished in half a paragraph, it’s all in what the scene calls for. I almost always match. Always going to put in as much effort as you can send me.
- -Pairings:
-
MxF or any combination of Nb. Poltonic only on FxF or MxM, sorry it’s just not what I’m comfortable with. I enjoy writing two character partnerships that don’t necessarily lead to kissy kissy. But I do love romance. I’m definitely hoping for more people to play male characters in my life soon, but I love doubling so I will happily do the same.
- -I’m 27y
- I don’t care how old you are but if you are in school let me know so I can target your available hours. Not actively looking for NSFW.
- -Very flexible
-
Problem? *tell me about it.* Not working? *let me know, I don’t mind backing up*. Having a tough time replying for any reason, *Come ooc chat with me and we can work it out or just be friendly.*
- -Post frequency
-
I do have a job, mentally health issues & parents who need an increasing level of assistance. I expect to be able to reply AT LEAST once a day. I really would like for you to be able to send something daily too.
- Genres
- I RP to escape real life... Not really interesting Modern or Real Life type RP. I am really really craving Cyberpunk right now but anything that can have a form of technology is great too.
- -No Reference sheets/face claims
-
I do have reference material for my main muse Serenity but I do not do character reference sheets and face claims and so on for other characters. A few of my cooky cutter characters have face claims because I was desperate enough to appease whatever partners I could find. I get wanting to have visuals but I’m not particularly interested in finding pictures for every character. I always describe characters in RP intro anyways. If I haven’t written in enough detail, ask for more. Physical appearance is very superficial. That should not be your first impression of my character or my writing.
- -Plotting and ooc chat
-
definitely a necessity right now. I want to know where we’re going well enough that I can really get into my posts. We will need to discuss the main characters, a current conflict, setting and era before we get started. I love to do world building and that won’t stop once we get going. We don’t need every detail of the world immediately before we actually RP but I want enough to be comfortable. I expected my partner to actively add ideas and details and flashbacks to explain and expound.
- -No triggers here
- Please don’t forget to tell me if you have any!!
- -I don’t Fandom
-
I have found that if someone wants to use a fandom they get stuck on canon details that don’t fit or they aren’t really interested in expanding our universe. I don’t mind referencing material to help build ours, but I’m not into fandom universes anymore. It’s a completely different style of RP most of the time so I usually run the other direction these days.
- -Time Zone: PST
- Bananas!
- -Discord
-
My network hates this website. But there is nothing like this website for finding partners. DM for my handle pleeeeease.
I have a bunch of ideas but I prefer to get to know you a bit before we start plotting. DM me if you're available!
• Do you use Discord? (Please send me your handle. I’m Transformation over there.)
• How long are you interested in role playing for? A few weeks/a month or two/summer/this semester/winter/a year or two?
• On a scale of one to five, Five being, that you like to write completely Improv, and One being you like everything planned out no matter what, what number would you assign yourself?
• How long have you been RPing?
• How flexible do I need to be when you need to take a break?
• Triggers?
• How annoying can I be before I get my ass in trouble?
Lol. Don’t read too much into these.
Now my biggest problem so far is that people get started with my plots… and then they lose interest and poof. Gone.
Now, tell me every plot idea, interest and vague idea you have. We will build something together that we both want. If you can’t plot a story… then you’re not what I’m looking for. Sorry if that’s too frank for you…
