Welcome to my thread of intrigues, drama, morally ambiguous characters and scandalously charming storylines.
<< >>
I'm Vee, 25 years old and have been writing for a few years now. My prose is heavily inspired by the classics and titans of english, german, french and russian literature, but I'm not too flowery or keen on detailing the single red-brownish leaf in the corner of the entrance, it's about quality first and foremost.
<< >>
As of right now, I'm looking to write with likeminded people, collaborators and world builders for the plots listed below. They will be updated every once in a while...
Before we jump in, please note that I do require your age, additional ideas for the plot of your choice and a writing sample.
If one of these are missing, I'll decide whether or not to engage. Sorry, not sorry.
<< >>
Are you in? Well, have a seat then, these ones aren't cheap!
- third person or first person view, past tense, a good sense for grammar, proper paragraph breaks and correct punctuation.
- realistic characters and plot progression. Big fan of slow-burning stories, the ones that take their time to fully develop, revealing new layers and hidden depths of a character. Actions have consequences, and my characters will be put through the fire. They'll burn, get their hands dirty, make amends, comfort one another, tear the other person apart, etc. The full range of the human emotion. Words should make you feel something.
- wide array of characters. This includes the richy rich, the slum dogs, the primadonna, the cool guy, the nerds, the 'normal' ones, that one famous ex, the female CO inside a high security prison, the sports star, etc. My forté are morally gray characters, the ones who blurry the lines between right and not-so-right. Or maybe they are just bad. Outright good.
- introspection and sensitivities. My characters will react to their world in one way or another. Certaing things will make them feel certain things, they'll respond accordingly to their personalities.
- action scenes. Bloody fist fights, armed combat, etc.
- 300-800+words per post on average, can go over/under at any time, heavy emphasis on quality over quantity. With this being said, there'll be little to no fluff. If there's a dialogue scene, you'll most likely receive a shorter response.
- intricate storylines, drama, some romance, thriller, taboo relationships (yes, those ones are included) and all that other jazz.
- 80/20 story:smut ratio (see my F-List for likes/maybes/hard no's)
- lots of world building (including realistic faceclaims, no drawn art or AI for these plots, sorry to my fellow artists)
- a plethora of side characters.
- ooc friendly
- pinterest boards, selected songs and general aesthetics (haven't figured out BB code yet, otherwise this thread would look much fancier…)
Skilled writers who are able to let charming, intelligent, quirky and /or equally ruthless characters come to live with their words.
Note: I expect my writing partners to write multiple characters, as I'll do the same. Only reading two POV's is incredibly lame and side characters lacking depth and soul are a waste of words.
So please, please, please, send me all your mischiefs, the vagabonds, the foxy mistresses, the nerds, the beauty queens, the hardcore bad-to-the-bone guy, the seemingly unattractive and clumsy ones, your dealers, the backstabbers, etc...
The plots and story structures are skeletal on purpose, so feel free to add your ideas, and potential characters and storylines. I don't care how half-baked the idea is, as long as it gives us something to work with.
Someone with a decent grasp for punctuation, grammar and proper paragraph breaks.

<< (Regency era plot) >>
"Sir Creighton, a letter from your sister arrived." Harold, the family's butler, handed him a thick beige envelope, sealed by a red wax imprint of his sister's ring.
"Thank you, Harold. On another note, when are our guests scheduled for arrival?" Nathaniel asked, smoking a pipe and enjoying a glass of rum in his plump brown leather chair.
"With all due respect, Sir, you are talking about your future wife and her family," he smiled cautiously at the young Bachelor.
"You've misunderstood me, Harold. I know they are coming, but I'm not concerned about them, I merely expect her to dress well, so that she's somewhat presentable for this dreadful night. I hope she doesn't sing as good as she looks," he .
"I must beg for your pardon, Sir, but she's-" Nathaniel intervened abruptly and waved his finger.
"Harold, I did not ask for your unsolicited opinion on that matter and I'll pay you double your salary if you stop trying to convince me in order to change my opinion about my future wife. Who sent you this time? Was it my dear mother or was it the old fogey downstairs?" A skeptic frown was thrown towards Harold, who folded his hands, expressing his concerns with an exhausted sigh.
"Very well, Sir. I'm officially resigning from my persuasion," he added. "Your guests, including your future wife and her family, are scheduled for arrival in about half an hour. Lady Creighton already called twice for you."
"Tell her that I will be downstairs soon enough." Nathaniel dismissed Harold and broke the seal of the envelope, unfolding the letter inside. Harold left him to his own devices and was shaking continuously with his head on the way down the hall. The letter contained his oldest sister's best wishes and congratulations, she wouldn't be able to attend the ceremony tomorrow due to unforeseen circumstances. She didn't extrapolate said circumstances, but Nathaniel was indifferent towards the whole ceremony. The ceremony was part of the act, the marriage was only on paper, the only legal route to his financial freedom. Granted, she was well-bred, it was only her questionable choice of clothes he took issues with.
Begrudgingly, he sauntered down the wooden stairs, his hand sliding along the curved banisters, wearing a chic brown suit jacket, a white woven linen shirt underneath with few small decorations, a pair of dark colored pants and boots . A look in the mirror was all he needed, the tailor did an excellent job. "Let's get this over with," he mumbled under his breath and entered the kitchen area, where his mother was ordering around the maids and servants with final instructions for the night. He came up from behind and startled her a little.
"Oh! You scared me half to death!" She gasped and continued her tyranny.
"Don't be so crude, mother, I was coming downstairs only for you," he justified himself.
"Stop the nonsensical talk and don't count me for a fool. If you could, you would be abstaining in your room for the whole evening, drowning in your pity," she scoffed.
"Where is father?" He took a glass of wine and sipped from it, contemplating if getting drunk was worth the risk.
"He's returning from his trip to Rocesterbury, he didn't make any promises regarding times and such, so it will be your job to welcome everybody." Her gleeful smile was met with a sarcastic grin.
"I need more wine then," he cried in a joking manner. But before he could drink any more, his mother snatched the glass of wine from his hand.
"Are you out of your mind?! Go and sit next to the pianoforte, prepare your little speech instead of drinking like a fool from the gutters, and get out of my sight!" She yelled and shooed him away.
"I'm ashamed to admit, but I haven't lost my mind yet, bearing this charade would be much easier If I did." He went on without another word, his mother was furious, she could not understand him. Forced to wait around, Nathaniel sat down on one of the many couches surrounding the black piano in the grand living room and observed the oil paintings on the wall. He needed wine, desperately and urgently.

- too many time paradoxes → characters can't partake in five different conversations at the same time. Pretty simple, right? Can't be entirely avoided for longer posts due to the nature of RP, but still...
- trying to push my boundaries. I'll respect yours and keep them in mind, so I expect the same treatment from others.
- straight jump into smut. Hardcore no, smut will happen, but it'll definitely take its time! Smut for the sake of smut is mundane.
- romance as the main plot. Booooring and dull, partially blaming "booktok" for this (awful) trend...yes, I absolutely despise the writing of Hoover & Co, how could you tell?!
- heavily altering the rough outlines/characters/settings/etc laid out in the prompts.
- pestering for responses. I try to respond daily, but won't always succeed. Longer absences will be communicated.
- low effort introduction messages will be either kindly declined or, at worst, fully ignored. One liners are included.
- blurring the lines between ooc/oc. My characters aren't me, they're fictional works of inspired creativity and my imagination.
- nonsensical plotlines. No, Billy Badass won't turn into a misunderstood Mr. Darcy all of a sudden. Characters develop, they change (or not), but change takes time.
- no consequences for a character's actions. A character can steal an apple once or twice, but sooner or later they'll get caught...it's only a question of when, not if it's going to happen. Some suspense of disbelief is always there, sure, but even Bruce Wayne eats shit sometimes, despite being rich and a millionair-playboy who plays vigilante at night.
- The aforementioned includes self-inserts, especially in first person. Ugh, yuck, begone!
If any of these fancy you, there's a high chance we'll get along just fine.
- HBO series (The Wire, Succession, Oz, GoT S1-4), Elité, Gossip Girl, etc. Love teenage drama series.
- classic literature (Jane Austen, Brontë sisters, Makepeace-Thackeray, Dostoevsky, Tolstoi, Tolkien, Mervyn Peake, de Laclos, etc)
- contemporary writers such as: Bukowski, Sanderson, Hemingway, Steinbeck, etc
- Movies like Heat, Collateral, Sense & Sensibility, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Bourne Identity, Casablanca, Training Day, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Tenet, Interstellar, Burton's Batman, Parasite, The Hidden Face, Out of the Furnace, American Beauty and many more…

The Plot:
The Bazen family's rise to the top began back in the days when America was made of steel and iron. Today, they're on top of the upper echelons of society and the family business conglomerate is as influential as ever.
Splendid charity events, lavish penthouse parties and attending business school was not too difficult for Deva Bazen, who's now the staff director at the family company, alongside her brother (YC), who fills an equally important position in the company.
Deva is as tough as nails when it comes to the business. No wonder, she was born for it, groomed and trained from an early age by their father. It was only a matter of time until one of the two siblings was announced as the next CEO…
However, they didn't agree on all the methods used by their father and wanted to bring vital changes to the company. More often than not, this is the main reason they clash against each other and board meetings often end abruptly in a shouting match.
Soon after, their father collapses and falls into a coma. The doctors are unsure when he'll wake up again, or if he ever wakes up again, which leaves the rest of the family in chaos and shambles. The dirt of the past will be painfully brought forth and secrets just wait to be revealed, but who will end up with more skeletons in their closet?
To make things even worse, their father's last will does not include them in the company, and the board members and shareholders are now in charge of all major decisions. The hungry sharks taste blood, and they want nothing more than to boot the Bazen offspring out of the company.
With this final predicament, the siblings are left with a choice; one they're not too fond of at first, one that forces them to put their differences aside and work together again. Deva discovers new facets of her brother and begins to see him in a new light, one that fascinates and pulls her in like a magnet…
Will they succeed and reclaim what is rightfully theirs, revenge those who have wronged them or will they fall victims to the flames of a burning desire?

Welcome to the elite bubble and upper echelons of New York's finest...or the worst of the worst. Debauchery and degeneracy, swimming pools full of liquor, dark secrets, manipulation, heart-throbbing romances, schemes and scandals await the characters inside.
The setting? The St. Catherine High School:
Oh Amy, Amy, Amy...beautiful, buxom, clever and thoroughly nefarious Amanda. How can she reach inside a man's chest and rip out his heart, look down at him with that full-lipped, yet faint smile and still make him love her more than anyone else? Yes, Amanda is the wonderful, charming and (not so) beloved Queen B. of St. Catherine High School.
Blessed with a magazine face, a body and a voice like slow, dripping honey, Amanda won the genetic lottery. Everyone loves and hates her and everyone sorta knows. Deep down, even the most innocent of students know not to get on her bad side.
Her manipulations are kept in the dark by the school administrators, but things happen inside the prestigious school for the beau monde. It's a gorgeous place full of heirs to modern day empires. And they know they shouldn't get in her way, even attempting to cross her will result in vicinities unheard of. Last year, her classmate got expelled from school. While the exact reason was never made public, it is a certainty that the ever-so-graceful Amy had something to do with her sudden departure. Being a social puppet master at 16 years old proved to be of no difficulty to the blonde beauty. Running schemes was in her veins, although her blood was rather cold than hot.
However, Amanda is as cunning as she is devious. She knows her way around men and what to do in order to achieve her selfish goals and fulfill personal ambitions (and desires). She is, above all, a tempress by heart. Beguiling, blackmailing and bribes are the most common strategies of the young Miss Rhodes. What she truly loves is the unattainable, thanks to an already dead carpet knight of a father, who cheated on her antidepressant-pill-popping mother on more than two handful of occasions, Amy seeks out revenge against the opposite sex. An oath was made with her best friend Victoria; no man would ever hold any power over her. This includes her current boyfriend Carter, whom she uses as her own secret weapon.
And while Amanda thinks she is the center of the universe, there are others surrounding her. Some want her best, others could care less and another group wants nothing more than to witness her downfall.
The Students:
The richest boy in the academy, Henry is a master tactician, carefully observing the people surrounding him for weaknesses and potential threats coming his way. Not only is he Amy’s best friend, he’s the only one not trying to get into her pants. He’s a fan of both worlds, and Amanda is simply not his type. It's a wonder she didn't take offense to that, but Henry is indeed a charming young man, full of surprises and optimism. Let’s not be fooled however, the blond curly boy is just as degenerated and nearly as heartless and cold-blooded than Amy herself. The only thing separating those two is a halfway guilty conscience.
Proficient and known as the ‘snake charmer’, the nickname Amy gave him after he revealed her the big secret of Lindsay McRoy’s past (who then disappeared from New York), Henry, also called Hank, is more than meets the eye. He plays on both sides of the fences and has no trouble seducing either party, whatever is necessary to accomplish their goals. More than just another pawn, Henry is the one person who knows most about Amanda, but has proven himself absolutely loyal.
His father is the owner of a huge news network and so, Collins Jr. is well connected and has a promising future ahead of him.

(Her faceclaim)
16 years old, she’s deeply insecure and does everything she’s asked for the approval of Amanda. Being Amy’s number one minion, Victoria keeps a tight schedule to accommodate all of her wishes. She’s currently dating Thomas, Amy’s oldest friend. Of course, the whole thing was Amy’s idea, but they looked so cute together, it would've been a shame if the innocence of Vicky went to another boy.
More and more coming out of her former shell, Vicky tries her best to lay aside her old beliefs and conventions. She’s on the best way to become more and more like Amy herself, but deep down, she just wants to be recognized by the world surrounding her.
Relations: Her mother was a world famous model and as a consequence, her daughter's always dressed in the newest pieces from Milan and Paris. Her father is long gone, another tie that binds her to Amy, they share a similar struggle that makes them relate to each other.

•Thomas Strauss: 16, close friends since preschool, their parents know each other, has a crush on her, but dates Victoria and is the typical nice guy. Reliable, but boring. (His faceclaim)
Thomas is unassuming at first, but he’s another sporty handsome, who plays for the Lacrosse team and gained his place inside the halls of St. Catherine on a full scholarship ride. His grades aren't the best, he’s below average at best, but he has an air of independence about him and surprisingly dates Victoria. Amanda encouraged him to do so, as she couldn't stand seeing anyone besides him at her friend's side.
After a few dates, their thing was settled and everyone was happy.

•Alli is another minion, 16 years old, but she’s more bitchy and co-captain of the cheerleaders, also has a full scholarship ride. Miss Athletic. (Her faceclaim)
The atomic blonde with eyes as dark as her heart is the third in the ranks. She’s cut from the same cloth as Amanda, the only thing holding her back is her weakness for men, especially older ones. She dreams of a rich boyfriend, a sugar daddy who spoils her endlessly and lets her drown in Fendi and Prada. But besides those amiable qualities, Allison is close to leading the cheerleaders of St. Catherine.
Her parents own huge vineyards in the backcountry of New York, where she resides during the holidays. Certainly wealthy, but not nearly as rich as everyone else.

•Minion number four, 16 years old, a sweet and glitzy, ditzy influencer. (Her faceclaim)
Hailed as the second coming of Princess Jasmine, Brenda didn't come with a flying carpet, rather the red carpet was instead rolled out for her. A light skinned beauty and influencer, she already has several brand deals under her belt and prides herself on making her own money.
And while she's friends with all other three girls, Brenda isn't as corrupted or vile as the other ones. There's a certain light and innocence about her. Usually, that type would fall victim to Amy’s schemes, but there are exceptions to every rule.
Her brother, Liam, who’s 14 years her senior is her legal guardian. Their parents died in a car crash when she was only eight years old. Fortunately, the insurance money was enough to get both of them into prestigious schools. Brenda is a smart and hardworking student.

Being a straight A student comes with a price, and despite not being found at the parties as the others in her class, (she lives more secluded, all according to her own will,) Gigi is still in the middle of everything. She’s the weatherwoman of St. Catherine, successfully predicting what will happen, when it's going to happen and who the involved participants will be. Her network is vast and she knows people all around the world.
Her father resides in Hong Kong and is a well known businessman there, making his money with the import and export of international goods.
Her mother is in the city, drinking champagne with her girlfriends during the day and enjoys a laissez-fair lifestyle. Gigi dislikes her mother and wants nothing to do with her. And although she's in the middle of it all, nobody crosses her. She's not too hot, not too smart and doesn't get in the way of others. Just like Thomas, she’s unassuming, but still waters run deep…

Her mother is in the city, drinking champagne with her girlfriends during the day and enjoys a laissez-fair lifestyle. Gigi dislikes her mother and wants nothing to do with her. And although she's in the middle of it all, nobody crosses her. She's not too hot, not too smart and doesn't get in the way of others. Just like Thomas, she’s unassuming, but still waters run deep…
• 18, Amy’s boyfriend, he’s the jock of jocks, captain & star player of St. Catherine's basketball team. (His faceclaim)
Rockford is already one hell of a surname to have. But the ‘IV’? Ladies and gents, the ultimate douchebag is here! Sexy, charismatic and bad-boyish: Carter combines all these traits into a deadly combination of undeniable swagger that would sweep almost all girls off their designer laced feet. At merely eighteen years old, Carter’s on his way off to Columbia, and has been with Amy for over a year. The two are the couple-to-be, but the glamorous outside is nothing but a facade.
He’s just as opportunistic as Amy and they both, silently, but consensual, take advantage of each other. He knows she’s only dating him because he’s the team captain of St. Catherine's basketball team, no surprise with a height of 6’5”. Not only is he taller than most, he has a natural talent for the game. On the other hand, he dates Amy for similar reasons, equally shallow, but they are Mr.-and-Mrs.-Smith on campus. Adored by many, hated by some, they continue their reign as King and Queen of the school.
Relations: His father is of British nobility, they own luxurious real estate across the country and have several ranches breeding high-performance horses for tournaments all across the world.

•Both 17, Best friends, Jake being the crazy one and Tyler the mellow, stoner type of guy. Balanced. (Tyler's faceclaim & Jake's faceclaim)
Jake and Tyler, the Jordan and Pippen duo of St. Catherine. Jake is the blueprint troublemaker. Disturbing peace and quiet inside the classroom? Yes. Somebody needs to crash a party? Call Jake, he’ll do it for free and post pictures on instagram tagging everyone. Their most favorite side activity is smoking joints at parties together, their philosophies are certainly not Aristoteles’ like, but at least they're not pretentious about it.
Then there’s Tyler, the silent, chilled out stoner. Oh boy, he knows where to get the good stuff. Not only that, he’s the number one supplier at St. Catherine. Somebody's luck is down? Tyler has a pill to make them happy again and bring temporary relief. Inseparable from each other, teachers often refer to them as brothers when one of them is missing (mostly due to hangovers).

• 18, Boisterous, jokester kind of guy, flanks Carter, publicly dates Allison, but has his secrets. (His faceclaim)
This fine gentleman here knows all about business. His father is a stockbroker on Wall Street and with a stay at home mother for surveillance, Devin can't even wait to escape home for extracurricular activities at school. He’s the jokester, the school jester, always a slick line rolling over his tongue. Standing tall at 6’2”, broad shoulders and always equipped with a big black…suit, Devin is Carter’s best friend and teammate at the two-guard position. They don’t yell ‘Kobe’ for nothing whenever he shoots the ball from behind the three point line.
Has an IQ of 140, is extremely smart and has an easy time passing tests. His only problem? His parents are deeply pious and strict. Even dating Allison is highly problematic, but he keeps everything at bay, until now...

•He’s a wonderfully naive guy, 17 years old, looking-for-the-one type, different from the jocks. (His faceclaim)
Here’s Mr. Normal, William aka Will. Sits in the 3rd row right next to the wall. He keeps to himself, but is often seen with Gigi during break. The two swear they are only friends and nothing more. He's the only one with a moral compass and while not the smartest bulb, he’s far from stupid or incompetent. William plays for the chess team of St. Catherine. He didn't have much success so far, but he’s always working on improving his moves and unpredictability.
Lives somewhere in Midtown and always wakes up an hour earlier to make it to school. His parents run a restaurant and have quite the big hopes for their son. The pressure is on, Mr. Richards, he has a chip on his shoulder and knows it...

• Claire Vanderbilt and Martha Greyson; 16 and 17 years old, referred to as ‘the Cats’, act like they are enlightened, progressive wannabe revolutionists, although they’re just as pampered as the others.
Latest rumors say William and Martha have a fling going on... (Claire's faceclaim & Martha's faceclaim)
Deeply resentful towards Amy and her minions, they’re both intelligent and witty, but not as wise as they think. Always ravaging about the latest climate change demonstration, immigration policies and advocacy for the poor, these two have a savior complex instilled of them as their parents work for the same NGO and are traveling around the globe half the year. Still, both can be found wearing expensive jewelry and bags. Hypocrites…

Well, here's the place for your main characters, his companions, friends, enemies, lovers, etc.
As you can see, the story needs 2-3 more teachers and a school director as well as a janitor and one secretary...I'm all ears for your ideas!

Sounds like your delicate cup of tea? Great! My DM's are open for all sorts of dubious plot related shenanigans...
Thanks for reading, until then.
