The Elusive Cinder 1,328 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 So, there are a lot of Romance roleplays out and about, but most suffer from something that I call 'LAFSSAKR Syndrome' - or 'Love at first sight sucks and kills roleplaying' syndrome. I wanted to create a roleplay specifically to go against this. It's just a concept at the moment, but I'd like to see what kind of interest there might be. The roleplay will have a generic setting that puts a bunch of characters together: however, what will separate it from others is that we will specifically avoiding the following things: - 'True love' on day one. - First pony you meet is magically your soulmate. - Splitting into pairs and not interacting with others outside your coupling. Put simply - SoL aspects will take priority early on - with romance being something that should become more evident as everyone gets to know each other. Friendships and rivalries should form, folks should face conflict and drama - even change their minds and so on. Something more natural feeling than 'three guys and three gals walk into a room, divide into pairs and walk out - never to see each other again'. I'd like folks to be able to leave this RP when its over with more developed characters - maybe friends, enemies or even love interests that might even cross over to other roleplays should they meet again. So! Is anyone interested, or is it just me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverHeart 741 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 I'm pretty interested in this. I've always wanted to try a SoL RP/Romance RP. I think it'd be fun. And the slow pacing would probably help a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scribblegroove 565 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 @, @@Gloomfury, I think this is exactly what cinderscribe is trying to avoid with this RP. Does real romance involve making agreements on who will fall in love with who? Have faith moonlight, surely there'll be a mare that will fall for yours. Whatevs, in an RP I don't mind what sexuality my OC assumes, as long as the one he/she falls in love with is someone who he/she is truly in love with. We can discuss which OC's will be in this RP, but I think it's much more fun to let fate decide who falls in love with who. To the both of you, keep in mind that this is what this RP will look like (I think). You cannot go around and ask for Bisexual OC's to join specifically for your OC. Wouldn't it be much more fun for an OC to find out about her bisexuality in the RP itself? For me it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Elusive Cinder 1,328 February 17, 2014 Author Share February 17, 2014 Scribbles pretty much hit the nail on the head there, so to speak! Throw a mismatch ensemble into a situation that pushes them together and just see what happens: let the characters react, not the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Elusive Cinder 1,328 February 17, 2014 Author Share February 17, 2014 (edited) Alright! I think that clarifies enough interest for me to go ahead with this: I'll write up some specifics and get the OOC tonight sometime. I don't plan to make it an advanced RP but I will be asking that posts are not consistently 'bare minimum' length ones. Sometimes less is more and a minimum 600 characters is too much, but as a general rule I'll want more than 200 characters per post. I'm looking for more depth than just something like "Yes, I also like cookies." Said Pony Joe...

~Sole~ 852 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 I think this sounds interesting. But I'll probably have to take a minute to pick out on oc for this, not many are suitable usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAGESTAR 479 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 (edited) I think I'll give it a go! Here' my ponysona OC. I know it's not time to sign up yet, but I thought I'd at least show his link, since he's pretty new...what do you think? http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/scorched-cuisine-r5843 Edited February 17, 2014 by ragestar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic Soulz 482 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 I can do more then 200 easily so that's not going to be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLineTrotter 100 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 Id love to join, if you'll still accept new people. I made a new OC just today, and I think this could be a great roleplay to test him out in! He's a Zebra, which could make things interesting.I haven't seen anyone roleplay as a Zebra before, personally. So, may I? I have a few ideas swirling around in my head for this already! http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/nassir-r5858 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
