... What? I have a lot of time and I figured another change was good.
Don't worry. This one's going to be more to the point.
For those of you who may not have seen me around before, my name is Yuna. Well .. not in real life but you may address me as that. I'm a 27 year old female. I am, as my signature, states wed in real life.
Writing has perhaps been one of my favorite subjects and hobbies. I started really getting into it in 4th grade, when I had to write an array of poems for my school. As I grew older, I worked on improving my skills. I got into roleplaying by my junior year of high school when I stumbled upon a Yu-gi-oh! forum that had a section for RP.
Over the nearly two years I've been here, I have realized a few things about myself:
-I love a mix of consensual and nonconsensual elements. Why? Because no relationship is perfect. There has to be some form of conflict, be it in the form of a side villain or something else, in order for me to be really interested in a plot. This especially holds true for the 'original' genres.
-I tend to favor fandoms over non. However, I can do the more typical roles. But they have to have some sort of plot/element/etc. to make it keep my interest. I tend to have many of my generic RPs inspired by a fandom somehow, be it in a setting, plot idea, something.
-I almost never do pure moderns, not without making those able to keep my interest held. If I'm doing a more original RP, I tend to do fantasy, modern-fantasy, medieval, or historical eras.
-Long term is preferred over short-term. I also like story and plot over smut. I tend to have a 50/50 or 60/40 ratio in my RP planning. I always, regardless of the portions I choose, favor story. I also tend to never start getting into the steamy scenes until around page 3 if not later on.
-I do not care if you are a male or female behind the screen. As long as you can write and contribute to the plot/ideas of our RP, I will be more than happy to write with you.
There are probably a few other things I'm forgetting. But I'll definitely add or remove anything I deem necessary.
And now for Rules. I swear, I am going to try to make this section less intimidating than it's been in the past. But I do still have some that I do want followed.
General Rules:
Respect ... give me that and I'll more than eagerly return the favor. I'm not a difficult person to get along with, though I do come off as that. And I am truly trying to work on not giving that impression. But all in all, I am pretty damn easy to negotiate and talk with.
In regards to RPs and my characters, never godmod or try to demand how my OCs are; appearance wise or personality. I never push for such things with my partners and expect that same favor returned. There have been times I've allowed for my character to be godmodded. However, those were all done to advance the story. So if you feel you have to/must, shoot me a PM/IM first before assuming I'll be fine with it. If you want me to end up losing a fight so I can get kidnapped, I'm game for it. But at least have the courtesy to ask me first. That goes with anything.
And finally, I never ditch without notifying. This is something that I also hope will be a courtesy returned. Hell, you can send me a PM/IM asking to do an entirely new RP if you wish to start something new. But please do not just up and leave without a word. That's incredibly rude.
Due to something I have recently noticed, I am now enforcing this rule. I will no longer be putting up the intro post for any RP; not unless I know you and know you will not just up and leave the RP. Sorry to come off as harsh but lately, I have started some new RPs. Already, 4+ days have passed and I haven't gotten a reply back or a PM explaining the lack of replying. I've been more than patient enough. If you want to prove you truly do want to RP with me, show it by starting the thread.
IC & OOC-Related:
In terms of post length, I only have one rule for others. No one liners. Really, that's it. I'd prefer a minimum of one paragraph but I do understand we all get writer's block. My introduction posts tend to be at least four paragraphs if not more. After that, I try to stay to two to three though I can do more if properly inspired.
Feel free to toss ideas and plot twists to me via PM or any messenger I have. It's something I enjoy doing, in fact.
Also, help me brainstorm with the RP. I don't want to be the only person giving out ideas for setting, characters, etc. Since this has been a recent issue, feel free to come at me with ideas. By all means, please do. Seriously. However, do not just assume I'll be fine with certain characters. Let me choose at least my role. If you come to me asking for me to play a certain role and I wind up feeling uncomfortable/unsure of it, I will shoot the idea down. Sorry but just ... I have preferences on the types of OCs I create. And unless you know me really well, you'll be more likely than not to guess incorrectly as opposed to correctly.
Sexual Roles, Preferences & Pairings:
While I admit that most of my characters are women, I can do males. In fact, I've been wanting to play them as of late. I'm putting this request in the female section, however, simply because I tend to get asked to play women. I am leaving the option of playing a male out on the table, however. While I have nothing against lesbian or gay relationships behind the screen, I'd highly prefer to stay with MxF pairings in RPs. I haven't really practiced MxM well enough to say I'm comfortable with it and every time I've done FxF, it falls apart. Sorry ahead of time.
While I am a switch in real life, I can be sub or dom. Please bear in mind that I'm working on the latter ... and thus I'm not a perfect dom(me) by any means. My subs are always fighters and strong-willed characters who don't just 'roll over' when told to, if you get the drift. The only time they are more obedient and loyal is if we do a pairing where the sub is fully giving herself to the dom, regardless of why [I do know a few fandom based pairings that fit this example].
Contacting Me & Medium/RP Preferences:
Now then, if you wish to send me a PM/IM suggesting an RP, go for it. But please have at least an idea, be it the fandom, setting [AU or current storyline], something for me to go off of. Of course I want to RP. That's an obvious given with the fact I've made this. Elaborate further on it though. Don't just assume I know what you like, especially if you've yet to make a search thread of your own. Makes it very difficult to backtrack and search for your kinks, preferences, etc. For the record, I live in Eastern Standard Time Zone, North Carolina to be exact. This is in my profile but I realize sometimes it's easier to check for that information here than on profiles. So I've included it to give people hints as to the time it is I live in, when I can attempt to get posts in, etc.
My order of preference on mediums to use as RPs is as follows, from most to least likely:
II. Original Themes & Pairings
Feel free to mix and match settings/ideas. Some of my best RPs have been done via that sort of thing. So be creative with me. And yes, bold is my preference though the roles can be negotiated.
Preferred Settings/Types of RPs:
Modern-fantasy
Medieval
Modern
Ancient Civilizations [Especially Greece, Rome, and Egypt but can adapt to other settings]
Post-Apocalyptic
DnD Settings [Especially Faerun though I can try others]
Historical Settings (WWII, Civil War, Revolutionary War, Renaissance ... most of any era, honestly. I'm a huge history buff and on the off-chance I don't immediately remember a time frame, I can easily look it up to help brainstorm for an RP)
Original Pairings/Ideas:
Drow x Other Drow/Elf/Any race really
Rogue/thief x Royalty Mermaid x Hunter/Collector
Vampire x Vampire Hunter Mulan-esque soldier x Enemy/Allied soldier (Meaning yes a woman posing as a man) POW x Captor Kidnappee x Captor Inquisitor/Interrogator Victim x Questioner/Captor Pharoah's Daughter x Corrupt High Priest Princess x Corrupt Knight/Soldier Angel (Fallen or normal) x Demon
Angel (Fallen or normal) x Human Gypsy x Nazi Gypsy x Soldier Gypsy x Priest/Inquisitor
Gang Member x Gang Member [Rival or allied]
Gang Member x Civilian
Bounty Hunter x Bounty
Assassin x Assassin [Rival or allied]
Assassin x Target
Two online strangers (Starts off with them meeting in an MMO/chat room then onto real life)
Seven Deadly Sin x Another Sin
Seven Deadly Sin x Mortal
Psychiatrist x Patient
Necromancer x Revived
Teacher x Student Escort/Stripper x Client/Any role that could fit in this scenario Maid Cafe worker x Customer/any appropriate role
Samurai/Ronin x Any appropriate role
Anything mafia/yakuza related
For these, I prefer any of the following types of pairings:
OC x OC
Canon x Canon
Canon x OC [You will instantly get bonus points if you play a canon and let me be an OC. Why? Because I've done tons of canon playing but seldom have played an OC for someone's canon.]
And those are generally my preference, with the first two tied. But again, I can be asked and spoken to. My main rule with fandoms is simple. Don't ask me to alter canons, especially their personalities. I'll never do that. Sorry. But when I do play out Canons, I'm incredibly accurate with them ... always.
Also, there are some I have purposely not listed here but do know so feel free to mention others. However, more likely than not, I won't have heard of it as it is the main reason I don't list certain fandoms. Simultaneously, If I haven't listed any canons, more likely than not I can't play them out.
NEW: I didn't think I needed to include this. It has come to my attention, however, that apparently, this suggestion needs to be added.
If you want me to play a canon who winds up with another, you will have to really convince me to pair them abruptly with an OC. That's messing with pre-established writing and I don't like doing it. Not without good reason anyways.
So what do I mean by canons who wind up with another?
Noin from Gundam Wing, for example, who ends up marrying Zechs, Relina Peacecraft who ends up marrying Heero, Kurenai Yuhi who married Asuma Sarutobi (yes this is a technical one I'll admit since he dies. But it really is a coin toss. Personally, though, I don't see her remarrying so easily. I see her focusing on raising her child), etc. People like this. So if you really, really want me to use these people with your OCs, you will have to seriously impress me.
Finally, anything in crimson means I'm craving anything based off the respective fandom. I'll do others. However, you'll be more likely to grab my attention with something in crimson color.
Preferred Settings/Types of RPs:
Crossovers
AU
Medieval (This actually works really well)
An All Canon Maid Cafe? [This literally just came into my mind. It'd be a crossover with the setting/concept of a Maid Cafe being the plot]
Ancient Civilizations [Hey, Yu-gi-oh did it with Ancient Egypt so ... don't see why it can't be applied to others]
There are probably more but those are the main ones I know outside of staying in the technical verse of each respective fandom.

List of Disney Movies I've Seen:
Do note I'll be more likely to do OC x OC pairings as opposed to using any canons, simply because Disney was a major part of my childhood. It seems kinda ... odd to use the canons. But I can be persuaded and to prove that, I'll include them in all the listings. It's just a heads-up more than anything. For the record, these aren't listed randomly. I'll give anyone bonus points who can realize the significance in the listing.

Suggest. I know I'm forgetting tons of others at the moment
After some thinking and contemplation, I've decided to add a Marvel/DC section. Please note that most of my knowledge is from various animated series, some movies, and some video games. I have not read up on any of these in their respective comic books. As this is new and something I've never tried before, I may not be perfect with portraying all of these people. But I'll definitely try my best. As you can see, the superhero/villain names are listed first with their real ones in parentheses. Oh and one final thing to remember. I don't mind the idea of mixing and matching. So you could be someone from the DC list while I'm one from Marvel. Or vice versa, whatever works for us.

I'd like to play as: Asp (Cleo Nefertiti), Black Widow (Natasha Romanova), Blindfold (Ruth Aldine), Elektra (Elektra Natchios), Jean Grey, Kelda, Mastermind (Martinique Wyngarde/Jason), Morgan le Fay, Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers), Psylocke (Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock), Red Sonja, Rogue (Marie), Silver Sable (Silver Sablinova), Storm (Ororo Munroe)
I'd like to play against: Captain America (Steven Rogers), Doctor Faustus (Johann Fennhoff), Iceman (Robert Bobby Drake), Loki, Victor Mancha, Wolverine (James "Logan" Howlett)
DC:
I'd like to play as: Black Canary (Dinah Laurel Lance), Catwoman (Selina Kyle), Raven (Rachel Roth), Supergirl (Kara Zor-El), Wonder Woman (Diana Prince/Princess Diana of Themyscira), Zatanna (Zatanna Zatara)
I'd like to play against: Batman (Bruce Wayne), Dick Grayson (Nightwing), Green Arrow (Oliver Jonas "Ollie" Queen), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
Feel free to suggest. The worst I can do is say no. Some names, however, I have left off on purpose just as a note/forewarning.
Preferred/'Based-Off of' MMOs*:
Aura Kingdom
DDO Online
Forsaken World
NeverWinter
Path of Exile
*NOTE: I do have OCs for most of these and can use them in place of canons if you so desire. Some are listed in my OC Journal though if they aren't, I can almost easily make one within minutes.
Two members of normally rival races have been at war with one another for years. Finally, however, the leaders have agreed on one thing; they want to end the bloodshed [for whatever reasons]. The first thing that's decided upon is a peace treaty but to ensure that doesn't get broken, they also choose their eldest son and daughter respectively to wed one another.
Notes: This can be literally anything from human/vampire, vampire/lycan, drow/sylvan elf, angel/demon, angel/fallen angel. Possibilities on this are rather huge
Natural Born Instincts:
A warrior/assassin/bounty hunter whom has known nothing (due to amnesia or other reasons) their entire life but their job has been making a name for themselves the past years. They've never questioned any assignment or target before. Once they find what they have been asked to kill off, they do so wtihout any remorse, any regret or second thoughts. But what happens when during one of those missions, they can't seem to go through with what they were sent to do?
Notes: Depending on the setting chosen, any type of race can also be used for this. For this one, I could easily do either the warrior or the person they seek out and can't kill.
Corrupt Nature:
A high priest/knight/soldier is sick of feeling second best. With the king/pharoah's daughter still single and having been something they've gazed at from afar, it is doing nothing to aid out with their frustrations. One day/night ... they do the unthinkable. They figure a way to take over and kidnap the princess, hellbent on making her their slave and wife.
Notes: In order to obtain the power, your character can simply just kill off the leader/Pharaoh first then take the princess. Or they can go through with the kidnapping and leave the leader/Pharaoh alive. Up to you how you wish to go about this route.
Love Thy Enemy:
Inspired by "Romeo & Juliet". What if two members from opposing/feuding families meet at a masquerade and begin to take a liking to one another? Neither realize they are from the family of their enemy until it's way too late and they've become too attracted to one another. To make matters worse, the female has been forced to consider marriage. But how would her parents react when she finally asks for consent to wed the son of their rival?
Obsessed:
I actually got the idea when listening to Kelly Clarkson's "Since You Been Gone" of all things xD But the premise would be a stalker x ex-lover, preferably with me as the ex.
Everything for my character has been going so much better since the break up; finished college in the top 10 and even got a career [which exact one can be determined]. With everything going as smoothly as it has been, she's all but forgotten of her last lover.
You, on the other hand, have not.
Notes: Your character's personality is something I will leave to you. You could have merely been overly possessive, a drunk, a sadist [for little or no reason, if any] ... whatever you want. But do have an idea what type of person you want to play out and why you want to make him go through the effort of re-finding mine.
I will also leave how you find her up to you; through internet, phone calls, etc. With the right career, maybe my character's been seen on the media lately [singer, actor, etc.].
Feel free to toss me ideas~
For You, I'd Do Anything:
The concept for the plot idea comes from this video. It doesn't have to be exactly the same, mind you. But the idea of two siblings/childhood friends/something of the like growing up and being so close together really touched my heart. And to watch/see one so willing to be the 'darker half' for the other, no matter how desperate the action may seem .. all just to keep the other person safe ... it's very inspiring, in it's own way. This has so many possibilities and could even be used in fandom settings, like for a bodyguard x escort pairing. The part regarding the two characters being separated is also an option; it could happen but doesn't have to occur.
My Secret Stalker:
If you've ever seen hentai - or at least heard of these types of scenarios - you'll know about those infamous 'groping/touching a stranger on a subway' type of thing. I was thinking of starting out as simply that and then developing into something along the lines of a Master/slave or stalker/kidnapped thing. Romance can be included eventually, be it naturally or from Stockholm's. It's easily a plot that can be altered/developed but I figured I'd at least put the basic idea here.
Online Gender Experimentation:
This more or less kinda goes with my 'two online strangers' idea but now it includes a more concrete plot idea. What if two people met on a MMO/online game while playing characters of the opposite gender? The girl would have a male character and vice versa therefore. My character meets yours and they begin getting to better know one another. When they finally muster enough courage to confess their secret - that they're both not whom they immediately appear as - it intrigues the two to meet for real.
I hope I worded this well enough. I know what I'm trying to say, regardless ^^;;
Feel free to PM me for details with this one if you want it better explained.
Okaerinasai, Goshujin-sama!:
If any of you recognize this, you'll know it's what a maid/maid cafe worker says to it's 'Master' when they return home from work. That being said, I was thinking of mainly focusing on the latter though it could apply to a normal maid as easily. This is just a thought that is in the works for a lack of better wording. Feel free to expand more upon this plot with me.
High School/College Bondage Club:
Credit goes to Prince of Smut, who originally made this into a group RP a while ago. I would have asked if he didn't mind me using this but I haven't seen him as of late. So I'll at least give acknowledgement of the origins of the idea where it's due. As the title suggests, it's more or less a group of people who gather with the interest of further exploring bondage and all related aspects. I have actually tried this in canon-verses .. and it works as well as if done in a modern setting. So this can be done in pretty much any environment as far as I've noted. Feel free to toss me PMs, suggestions, or both about this plot.
ღ Bump ღ Added: Pictures that link to all of the canons in the fandom post. Yes, all. It took a good 4-5 hours of finding them then copying and pasting the links but .. worth it. Why'd I do this? In case anyone wanted to remind themselves who was who for reference and because I could.
