XMCU

[character offered]: Rogue
[fandom]: X-Men: original trilogy movieverse (although,
Completely unrelated, I’d also be up for discussing a Rogue/Murphy [The 100] line)
[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]: Long-term PSL/1-on-1, though I'm always up for throwing in other characters as NPCs. And, for Marvel, I've got a good number of them.

I've managed to fill a lot of lines I'm interested in, so this is probably oddly specific, but one I'm still looking to fill would be something either post-X3 or post-X2 (but still a bit into the future just eliminating the events of X3 -- let's be honest, no one liked that movie).

I'd be looking for a Pyro from this time period (probably putting them somewhere between the ages or 21-26). Preferably one that's been hardened by time with the Brotherhood, hates the hell out of humans, and who isn't afraid to commit to a ton of snark and antagonization between the two (along with the awful awkwardness that goes with them being on two completely opposite sides). I'd love for this to go into love/hate shipping territory, but, first, I like the idea of a slow burn and, second, if the chemistry is off for shipping I'm good with it being hate/hate. Obviously, this sort of thing and what their relationship actually was (because X2 is vague on it) pre-X2 is up for discussion and brainstorming.

Generally: lots of clandestine meetings (being able to utilize the idea of emails and texts in RP is also a bonus) between the two, with a wide range of types of scenes. I'd love scenes with them arguing about morals and ideals as much as I would love more action-packed scenes. So, really, everything from fluff to angst to drama to slice-of-life to action to... well, you get it.

The potential for Rogue to switch sides and actually go to the Brotherhood is on the table, but that would be the result of character development and something that could played around with.

The current state of the world around them is completely open for brainstorming as well (DOFP-ish, various states of the Brotherhood’s influence on the world, various states of the X-Men’s influence on the world, how anti-mutant things are, etc.)

I have ideas for pretty much all of this that I'm happy to share, I'm just trying to avoid the dreaded wall of text (I've already failed at that). I'd love to hear from both seasoned-players of this character and people going "huh, I've never written this character but this sounds like something I might want to try". If you're in the latter category and you want a sounding board as you establish the character's voice, I'm more than happy to chat or do test scenes all you want.

[preferences]: 21+ writers only. I prefer third-person writing. I can go with either present or past tense, depending on your preferences. My preference is for no brackets. If that's totally your thing, I'm not saying I won't write with you, I'm just putting my preference out there.

I know boomerang tagging can be tough these days, though if you are that kind of tagger, awesome (that would be my preference), I can match that during the week (the weekends I'm a bit more sporadic). But if you're a once a day or a few times a week type of tagger, that's fine too. I do, however, want to write with someone who will tag at least a few times a week so we can keep the line moving forward. Obviously life happens, so if tagging slows for something in rl that’s no problem.

Tag length is really dependent on what needs to be gotten across in the tag. I generally like there to be a good mix of prose, actions, and thoughts so we both have something substantial to reply to. Plus, if I'm looking to write with a specific character, it's because I enjoy the character and want to know what's going on in their head. Basically, if you need five long paragraphs to get across what you need to in a tag, that's fine. If you need one paragraph that's fine. As long as it's not a series of one-liners.

If any of this sparks some other idea you want to pitch (or other characters you want to pitch), contact me about that too. I’m easily enabled.

If you want more on the preferences/permissions front, I have a post here.


I can be contacted either through a comment here, the OOC box on my journal, or PM, whatever works for you:)
