There are mysteries that are so eerie and strange that they boggle the mind for days on end. The case of Elisa Lam is one of them. In February 2013, this 21-year-old student from Vancouver, Canada, was found dead inside the Cecil Hotel’s rooftop water tank in Los Angeles. The L.A. County Department of Coroner ruled the death “accidental due to drowning” and said no traces of drugs or alcohol were found during the autopsy. However, there is much more to the story than what is implied by police reports. The first piece of evidence that needs to be considered is an elevator surveillance tape that recorded Elisa’s behavior only a few moments before she lost her life.
The four-minute video posted on YouTube shows Elisa pressing all of the elevator buttons and waiting for it to move. Seeing that the elevator doors are not closing, starts behaving extremely bizarrely. Here’s the video.
At first, Elisa enters the elevator and apparently presses all of its buttons. She then waits for something to happen but, for some reason, the elevator door doesn’t shut. She starts to look around, as if she is expecting (or hiding from) someone. At 1:57, her arms and hands start moving in a very strange matter (almost not human) as she appears to be talking to someone, something … or nothing at all. She then walks away. The elevator door then shuts and appears to start working again.
This week, we present something unheard of here: a cartoon made after 1989! For your amusement and edification, we now give you the original “Gravity Falls” pilot! “Gravity Falls” has always been a good source of paranormal shenanigans and Monster-ous humor, even in its earliest form. Want proof? Feast your eyes on the beastly ballyhoo of… “Gravity Falls,” the unaired pilot!
you were warned. but you don’t care. who is she? why is she so compelling? why is her hair always up in that Bun? is it really true that everyone who gets involved with her gets changed some how? some secret Salon or something? those are just rumors. aren’t they? surely it can’t hurt to just talk to hair, uh her. maybe have one drink. can it?
with her new swim goggles her times improved dramatically how a simple change in eye wear alone could possibly have such a positive effect remains a mystery.
I guess there are some things we’ll just never know the answer to
Lord Voldemort revealed himself, and his plans for the Wizarding world, on Christmas Eve 1950. Almost a year has passed and now, Inferi roam the streets. Werewolves attack on the full moon. The Daily Prophet promotes suspicion of those with Muggle connections or ‘lesser’ blood. The Minister of Magic dances to the Dark Lord’s tune…
And the people begin to fear that Grindelwald may not have been the worst Dark Wizard of the age after all.

Gods and Monsters is a 4 year old jcink premium AU Riddle Era forum set in the early 1950’s, with a short app and an extraordinarily warm and welcoming community of talented writers who are always excited for new people and new characters!
Our stories focus on the lives of adult characters - their struggles and successes. We have plots focusing on werewolves, squibs, muggles… Everyday folk, not just those who are grasping for power.
December 1951 is in full swing! And for the first time, GM has three in-character events (or activities) going simultaneously.
• The RomCom AU event is up and running if you need some silly fluff. We all understand the brainpower and energy it takes to be creative, and with things going the way they are, sometimes it’s nice to have the break of writing something low-effort. These are kinda like the ‘grilled cheese and tomato soup/comfort food’ threads
• Case No. 001 is live and our Aurors are actively investigating Claudia Stewart’s death. (There is still one temporary character left for the Case No. 001 event - Bella Barnes, a Chaser for the Pride of Portree and teammate of Claudia’s. Don’t forget, temporary characters are open to the public and come with no expectation or obligation to officially join the site after the event ends!)
• The Ghost of Christmas Past event just launched for those who would like to step into a time-machine and explore Christmas memories from their character’s Hogwarts days. Oh, and don’t worry if you have a Muggle or a character that didn’t attend Hogwarts - we thought of that and want to make sure everyone can participate!
Obligatory long post ahead warning: this post is quite long (in fact it’s a mega post in many ways) and I know it may be intimidating to some readers but please don’t let it put you off if you’d still like to rp with me :)
Hello ladies, gents and fellow rpers. After having to take an unexpected but necessary break from the wonderful world of rping I’m ready to dive back into the waters of writing and make some amazing stories with some new partners.
I’ve got a good ten or so odd years of rping experience under my belt but any potential partners do not necessarily have to have the same experience, they simply need to fit under these three things:
-third person only with correct spelling, grammar and punctuation.
- at least two small (no less than seven lines) paragraphs per post as well as being willing to write more if the situation calls for it. Please do not contact me intending to give me only small paragraphs with each response as the above is simply the bare minimum I’ll accept if there’s not much going on in the rp that warrants a full paragraph. I require detail too so please be aware of that as well.
-no one liners, one worders, script talk, poorly written sentences or just laziness in general.
This isn’t terribly much to ask for as picky as it sounds.
An important thing I shall mention is that NSFW (i don’t fade to black nor do I care when the smut happens. Just please don’t leave me once the smut has happened like lots of people seem to unfortunately do) and dark themes are a thing that occur in all my rp’s so I require you to at least be eighteen before you reach out to me. I will not accept anyone younger than 18 since I myself am in my early twenties. Underaged characters are also a no go as well. Please know that I’m in the eastern Australian time zone but almost any time zone Is compatible for me as I am awake at very odd hours. Another important thing I shall add is that you must be able to post at least once or more a day and if I don’t get any response after two weeks then I shall simply move on (only exception is if you notify me beforehand as to why you may not be able to post for a while. I’m not that vicious).
I only rp as male characters, as it’s simply my preference and I am open to MxM or MxF (with me as the male) pairings. I will not double and I do not play multiple characters. I don’t do sub/dom dynamics when it comes to any aspect of the relationship so it’s switch dynamics only for any relationships developed between the characters. My characters are also non-human (they’re aliens since this is a sci-fi rp after all) but what species your character is doesn’t matter to me at all as long as it’s not some god modded Mary Sue. Please remember that alien simply means a creature not from earth. Aliens can have fur, scales, feathers, etc, depending on where they come from. An alien with fur or scalies is not a furry or a scalie and please do not refer to them as such as it’s rude to label someone’s character as something they’re not. I will not write with someone who will insist that the theory of chimpanzees and humans unable to crossbreed should apply to hybrid characters regardless of whether they’re alien/alien or human/alien. This is fiction, not reality. Please also do not control my characters or dictate their actions. My characters are also premade and only have descriptions, I don’t do face claims or pics. I also do not care if you make a character up on the spot.
If you require realism or dislike fur on anything, even if it was simply to be a fur covered human, then I am not the rper for you.
Please remember that this is a sci-fi rp and that I will not accept requests to do fandoms or any genre that doesn’t fit within the category of sci-fi. I will not accept a character that has no place in a sci-fi rp either like a dragon,harpy,demon, elf or some other fantasy creature.
The mission:
Seven. Seven alliance ships had disappeared without a trace or been destroyed by unforeseen yet suspicious circumstances. Mining asteroid explosions, ambush attacks, ship failures, all unfortunate yet unpredictable occurrences that were happening far too frequently for anyone to be able to just comfortably sit back and go on with life. With tensions between the alien and human race at an all time high, the alliance itself was desperately trying to find a way to keep the peace without causing a panic. Eventually, a proposal was made. In an all time first since the end of the great alien/human wars, an alien would be chosen and sent to work onboard a human ship. This was considered to be a very large step given many planets were still hostile to one another and the rumours circulating about the missing ships were sparking some strong reactions from both sides but the alliance was desperate….and so was the alien they were planning to send onboard. For them, it was their last and only chance to start a new life and to put a difficult past behind them. Little did anyone know, the appearance of this newcomer was more than just the first step towards changing life as many knew it for the known galaxies.
(Important point of notice: I will be playing the new alien crew member who is sent to work aboard an alliance ship with a human captain and crew. You can play as anything from a regular crew member to the captain. Alternatively this story can be modified so that it’s an alien from another race coming to work aboard another alien ship.)
Taking over:
The act of jumping aboard and taking someone else’s ship for your own was considered to be one of the lesser known crimes in the known galaxies yet one of the greatest dangers a captain and their crew could face. Most of the time it was smaller, less important ships that found themselves under the mercy of a new and ruthless leader due to how little people cared about them. Very rarely did a ship of great importance become a target given the risks and chances of failure were much higher to the intended usurper than it was in most other circumstances. Almost no one dared to board an alliance affiliated ship for fear that they’d have to endure punishments far worse than a bit of jail time. When a criminal boards an alliance ship and becomes the new captain, chaos ensues and a new course is charted.
(Important point of notice: I’d preferably like to be the criminal, but I have no problem with being the former captain, their second in command or an ordinary crew member if you’d prefer to play the criminal.)
Stowaway:
Life in the known galaxies was harder for some than it was for most. Whilst many people were able to live freely with little rules and regulations as to what they did, others were bound by law to follow a certain way of life. Most accepted their predetermined paths and did their best to stay out of trouble, whilst for others it was just that little bit harder to accept the way things were supposedly meant to be. Especially when things could go downhill very quickly if one happened to be on the wrong side of those laws. Whilst many people frowned upon ship jumping, the act of sneaking onboard a ship and hiding away from its occupants in order to travel, some people felt like it was the only way to reach their destinations when a fresh start to their life was in order. When a stowaway is caught trying to hijack a ship, will mercy be given? Or will they find themselves facing a new threat?
(Important point of notice: I will be playing the stowaway. You will be playing the ship’s captain.)
Future defenders:
To anyone who’d graduated from The supernova space and military academy, the feelings were shared between everyone. The promise of freedom and the satisfaction of having managed to not flunk on the final exams that saw them earn a position on the alliance ships themselves was one of the highest achievements a cadet could earn. Now they got to experience the real deal first hand, some getting accepted into the jobs they’d dreamed of since their first year at the academy whilst others were put in a position where there was the chance to move up and an equal risk of being unlucky enough to move down. The one thing everyone enjoyed was the fact that their life was now somewhat less restricting than it had been prior but now was not the time to get slack. Now was the time to show just exactly what it was they’d learned and put it to the test, a now or never situation where everything they did was under the watchful eyes of their captain and superiors. The newest members of the space force were due to be deployed upon the Galactica, one of the most famous ships the galaxy alliance owned and flew, and no one would’ve known it yet but beyond the stars was where it really all began.
New recruit:
When someone was part of a team, it felt like the people who fought beside them were all that mattered. They cried on each other’s shoulders. They cheered each other on. They were there for each other through thick and thin. Most of the pilots who served under the galactic alliance were pretty tight knit with one another, meaning the pain of loss was worsened whenever such tragedy struck. When the alliance’s most cherished team was forced to say goodbye to a much loved member, a new pilot is sent as a replacement. Will the new recruit prove themselves worthy to their team? Or will they forever be the “replacement”?
(Important point of notice: in this rp either one of us can be the new recruit whilst the other is the captain of the ship the team is on or another team member.)
Where no one dares go:
Life in the known galaxies was once a peaceful experience. Aliens and humans alike peacefully lived their lives knowing that they were safe and mostly free from criminal encounters under the protection of the planetary leaders that formed the United worlds galactic alliance. Nowadays, such hope that any of those so-called leaders would look up from the desks that they were busy counting their money on was nonexistent. If you weren’t a criminal or someone who knew how to play their cards, life got pretty tough. Criminals ruled the roost with an iron fist, many species had gone back to the old ways of thinking less than highly of one another and most simply believed that perhaps this was the way things were meant to be. As a new threat slowly creeps over the horizon, it’s up to two unlikely heroes to team up and go further than anyone ever has before.
start again:
Life isn’t an easy one way path. The choices one makes can lead them to either continuing following the path that people want them to, or make them stray from it. Some people seek to control their own destiny from the start whilst others let it be chosen for them. Very rarely does someone get the chance to pretend that all the things they did never happened nor that they mattered. Very rarely does someone get the chance to start over from scratch when all they worked hard for has crumbled to ruins. Very rarely do criminals get the chance to escape their past. When a hardened spacer, notorious for his crimes, ends up losing his rank and is stranded on a planet far away from where he is a wanted man, gets this chance to start again and let go of his past. Will he take it? Or will he continue doing the only thing he knows?
(Important point of notice: I will be the spacer, you will be someone who unknowingly helps him find his feet and a new purpose in his life.)
Last chance:
Nobody is perfect. It’s one of the simple facts of life that no one wants to hear yet knows is true before it’s even uttered. People broke. People got angry. People hurt others just so that others could see how they’d hurt them. As a member of the military space force one was expected to keep a reign on their temper at all times and not fall prey to the desire to give someone a taste of their own medicine. Second chances were not freely handed out after major incidents and many were not keen on taking the only one they got: being forced to work on a ship whose mission was to find the worst space criminals and take them into custody. Dubbed the graveyard shift, this was considered the one and only chance anyone who’d done more than just taking an extra helping of rations for themselves could take. What happens when a somewhat innocent soldier is sent to work on the graveyard shift and is captured by one of the very criminals they’re meant to be searching for?
(Important point of notice: I’d prefer to play as the soldier but I do not mind being the criminal either. Just tell me which one you’d like to be.)
Not everything is as it seems:
In order to be considered a true criminal, one had to completely exempt themselves from the right side of the law. It wasn’t simply about not doing as one was told, kicking up a fuss or not sticking to the rules, it was about making the universe about yourself and yourself only. Even criminals were enemies to other criminals for ties to loyalty seldom existed between them. They could trust no one and no one could trust them. The alliance always had a big job on their hands dealing with the criminals powerful enough to actually have friends. What happens when a criminal with a high reputation for chaos and destruction comes across an injured alliance soldier begging for help? Will they ignore their own code of conduct? Or leave them to the mercy of fate?
(Important point of notice: I will be playing the injured alliance soldier, you will be playing the criminal.)
All aboard the galactica!:
The galactica was a first class explorer ship led by only the greatest of military leaders and alliance figures. Many cadets dreamed of the day that they would one day either get to work onboard the ship whilst many more longed for the day that they’d be chosen as it’s next captain. To be the leader at the helm of the ship was considered the greatest honour and duty one could ever have befall them. Not everyone is content with having the responsibility of an entire fleet on their shoulders nor are the first few days, months or even years of being captain easy. To top it off, not everyone always agreed with the captains choice of their chosen protégé. As a wise man once said, one must be a follower before they could become a leader. When disaster strikes, will the remaining crew members be able to accept their new dynamic, or will it all fall to chaos?
(Important point of notice: I will be playing the character chosen to be the next captain of the galactica, you can either play as my character’s rival or a friend who has turned a bit cold from jealousy. I’m also open to you being the one who was chosen to be the next captain.)
Forced:
”there’s no such thing as a bad person. Only bad choices.” Is a saying that is older than time itself. For many who are forced into a position where they have no other choice but to put their morals aside and do as they’re told, this is all too true. A space farer is captured by criminals and forced to choose between death or working as the criminals captain’s personal assistant. That means every order has to be obeyed and every rule must be followed or consequences will be dealt by force. As time passes and life go ons, the captured spacer starts to see his predicament in a different light.
(Important point of notice: I will be playing the captured spacer. You will be playing the captain.)
Forbidden love:
aliens and humans are forbidden from associating with one another in any way that isn’t political. Whilst the two races have put aside enough of their differences to coexist in their own little pockets of space, not everyone is accepting of the idea that the two different species could live together as one, let alone ever simply just coexist peacefully together without insisting that alien planets and human planets are to be kept seperate. To trespass on the strictly human or alien occupied planets is a crime that few dare to commit. What starts out as a simple act of one sided rebellion and show of courage turns into an unanticipated adventure.
War of the worlds:
humans and aliens were never meant to coexist peacefully with one another. There was too much fear, Too much misinformation and too much bias on both sides for such a thing to have ever been successful. It was the humans fault that the war had started. They were the ones who’d shot down the alien ship that had been packed with specially chosen diplomats that represented each alien race known to the galaxies they dwelled in that had been on their way to earth to negotiate a truce and a plan for peace. They hadn’t even hesitated to shoot the ship full of aliens yet they’d been surprised when war had been declared on the spot. Two races. Two worlds so different yet the same fighting one another for what was either a mistake or intentional murder.
Captured:
Space criminals have been around ever since advanced technology allowed others to travel and live in space as if they were living anywhere else. They’re often cunning, tricky to catch and more often than not are clever at disguising themselves whenever those wanted posters come up. It takes skill to be on the wrong side of space law and true talent to get away with it. The galaxy’s current most wanted man has finally been captured by an alliance captain and his crew. Will he beg for mercy? Will he be given a trial before being thrown into a cell to rot or will he be given a chance to turn himself around with some hard labour?
(Important point of notice: I’ll be playing the criminal for this one. You will be the alliance captain)
Enslaved:
imagine living the life of one of the most successful people on the run that could exist. Galaxies trembled at your name. You and your crew swam in wealth and the going was good. Mutiny, sadly and sometimes not sadly, exists on its own accord. One man reflected on this as he was forced to his feet. A collar attached to a chain and electromagnetic handcuffs prevented his escape as he stood for all those who cared to glance as they walked by in the market to see. No one wants to have their only life’s purpose to be to serve another……only sometimes people don’t get that choice.
(Important point of notice: I’ll be playing the slave/servant. You’ll be the master/mistress.)
Betrothed:
for as long as there has been civilisation and leaders, there has been arranged marriages. Arranged marriages, or betrothals as they were more often called, consisted of pairing two people together and making them get married in order to secure ties to another land or another planet. Political marriages benefited everyone but the married pair it always seemed. After all, you couldn’t possibly be happy being married to a complete and utter stranger? How does one who is betrothed build a life of love and prosperity when the one who bears the rings of their union is not the one who also bears their heart?
(Important point of notice: this can go two ways, either our characters are betrothed to each other or one character is betrothed. The idea has endless possibilities)
Invasion:
march 18th in the year of 6079 was the day that the aliens invaded earth. They’d been planning the take over for some time as they came prepared and easily took out Earth’s defence forces. No one knows exactly why the extraterrestrial beings from the outer worlds came to the humble blue and green planet the humans had existed on for millions of years nor did they seem to have any true intentions known other than conquering the planet and taking it for their own. This has led to the belief that all aliens must be the cruel monsters the humans stories have made them out to be. What happens when the actions of one alien puts that to the test?
(Important point of notice: I’m open to having this idea turned around and having the humans invade an alien world to take over.)
On the run:
even on the most modern of planets, life on the lamb can be difficult. There’s authorities to avoid and even more rules to break in the game of survival. No one takes pity on those who have done wrong to the point that they have their face in the paper. Even if it’s not your fault, will anyone give you shelter from the harsh cold winds of reality and a biased opinion? What happens when someone does take a chance on a poor wayfaring stranger? Will the wrongdoer be turned in or given a new lease on life?
Harden my heart:
once upon a time, there was two friends who were the best of friends that anyone could have ever seen. Two people who had each other’s backs through thick and thin. Two people who supported each other endlessly even if their morals weren’t entirely inline with each other’s. Two friends who swore to never leave each other’s sides. Alas with the time of great growing came changes, the two friends bond had severed and they’d gone their separate ways in life. What happens when they run into each other many years later?
captain on deck!:
captains weren’t meant to fall in love with their subordinates. They were supposed to be well refined leaders who only mingled with those of a similar status. They represented the people they worked for after all, therefore they had an image that had to be strictly maintained towards the public in order to not be disgraced in any form. Behind closed doors however…..feelings were allowed to be a little more free. Secret lovers were frowned upon but one could take the risk if they were careful. After all, the captains word was law.
I need you:
space is a cruel mistress to even those who are experienced with charting her waters. Space, although beautiful, is often the grave of many brave explorers, soldiers and other space faring strangers. When a stranger comes to scavenge parts from a newly crashed ship in the hopes of finding something useful, they come across a familiar face. Old feelings stir and clash with one another when the crash’s survivor awakens and finds out who their rescuer is.
Sooooo….. about those pairings. Whatever has two stars next to it is what I’m going to play if we choose the scenario:
1:enemies to lovers or rivals.
2: **captured criminal** x prison guard or other prisoner.
3: two soldiers from seperate sides falling in love.
4:**low ranking ship crew member/second in command/captured space criminal** x captain.
5: **slave/servant** x master/mistress
6: married person X unmarried person
7: stowaway x captain
8: nurse x **injured soldier**
9: human x **alien**
10: old lovers/friends finding each other again/learning to love again after a rift in their relationship.
11: **alliance captain/commander/crew member** x space criminal.
I’m open to discussing and potentially mixing these ideas up till we get something that we both like. If you want to learn more about a certain idea tell me the name and I shall expand on it.
The only platforms I rp on are discord currently but I can be persuaded to rp on Google chat if discord is not an option, I don’t use telegram anymore. I will not rp on any other platform other than the ones listed (though I do not mind people reaching out to me via email for rp requests but I will not rp on email. Be warned I may take a while to get back to you if you choose to reach out to me this way). If you do not have any of those then unfortunately we cannot rp. When you reach out to me requesting for an rp In the opening message tell me what idea you liked, why you liked and give me a little introduction about you and you must put 123 somewhere in your message so that I know you’ve read all of my post. If you do not put those things in the opening message then I will not rp with you, don’t just put “hi wanna rp”. Make it interesting.
Obligatory long post ahead warning: this post is quite long (in fact it’s a mega post in many ways) and I know it may be intimidating to some readers but please don’t let it put you off if you’d still like to rp with me :)

To anyone who’d graduated from The supernova space and military academy, the feelings were shared between everyone. The promise of freedom and the satisfaction of having managed to not flunk on the final exams that saw them earn a position on the alliance ships themselves was one of the highest achievements a cadet could earn. Now they got to experience the real deal first hand, some getting accepted into the jobs they’d dreamed of since their first year at the academy whilst others were put in a position where there was the chance to move up and an equal risk of being unlucky enough to move down. The one thing everyone enjoyed was the fact that their life was now somewhat less restricting than it had been prior but now was not the time to get slack. Now was the time to show just exactly what it was they’d learned and put it to the test, a now or never situation where everything they did was under the watchful eyes of their captain and superiors. The newest members of the space force were due to be deployed upon the Galactica, one of the most famous ships the galaxy alliance owned and flew, and no one would’ve known it yet but beyond the stars was where it really all began.
New recruit:
When someone was part of a team, it felt like the people who fought beside them were all that mattered. They cried on each other’s shoulders. They cheered each other on. They were there for each other through thick and thin. Most of the pilots who served under the galactic alliance were pretty tight knit with one another, meaning the pain of loss was worsened whenever such tragedy struck. When the alliance’s most cherished team was forced to say goodbye to a much loved member, a new pilot is sent as a replacement. Will the new recruit prove themselves worthy to their team? Or will they forever be the “replacement”?
(Important point of notice: in this rp either one of us can be the new recruit whilst the other is the captain of the ship the team is on or another team member.)
Where no one dares go:
Life in the known galaxies was once a peaceful experience. Aliens and humans alike peacefully lived their lives knowing that they were safe and mostly free from criminal encounters under the protection of the planetary leaders that formed the United worlds galactic alliance. Nowadays, such hope that any of those so-called leaders would look up from the desks that they were busy counting their money on was nonexistent. If you weren’t a criminal or someone who knew how to play their cards, life got pretty tough. Criminals ruled the roost with an iron fist, many species had gone back to the old ways of thinking less than highly of one another and most simply believed that perhaps this was the way things were meant to be. As a new threat slowly creeps over the horizon, it’s up to two unlikely heroes to team up and go further than anyone ever has before.
start again:
Life isn’t an easy one way path. The choices one makes can lead them to either continuing following the path that people want them to, or make them stray from it. Some people seek to control their own destiny from the start whilst others let it be chosen for them. Very rarely does someone get the chance to pretend that all the things they did never happened nor that they mattered. Very rarely does someone get the chance to start over from scratch when all they worked hard for has crumbled to ruins. Very rarely do criminals get the chance to escape their past. When a hardened spacer, notorious for his crimes, ends up losing his rank and is stranded on a planet far away from where he is a wanted man, gets this chance to start again and let go of his past. Will he take it? Or will he continue doing the only thing he knows?
(Important point of notice: I will be the spacer, you will be someone who unknowingly helps him find his feet and a new purpose in his life.)
Last chance:
Nobody is perfect. It’s one of the simple facts of life that no one wants to hear yet knows is true before it’s even uttered. People broke. People got angry. People hurt others just so that others could see how they’d hurt them. As a member of the military space force one was expected to keep a reign on their temper at all times and not fall prey to the desire to give someone a taste of their own medicine. Second chances were not freely handed out after major incidents and many were not keen on taking the only one they got: being forced to work on a ship whose mission was to find the worst space criminals and take them into custody. Dubbed the graveyard shift, this was considered the one and only chance anyone who’d done more than just taking an extra helping of rations for themselves could take. What happens when a somewhat innocent soldier is sent to work on the graveyard shift and is captured by one of the very criminals they’re meant to be searching for?
(Important point of notice: I’d prefer to play as the soldier but I do not mind being the criminal either. Just tell me which one you’d like to be.)
Not everything is as it seems:
In order to be considered a true criminal, one had to completely exempt themselves from the right side of the law. It wasn’t simply about not doing as one was told, kicking up a fuss or not sticking to the rules, it was about making the universe about yourself and yourself only. Even criminals were enemies to other criminals for ties to loyalty seldom existed between them. They could trust no one and no one could trust them. The alliance always had a big job on their hands dealing with the criminals powerful enough to actually have friends. What happens when a criminal with a high reputation for chaos and destruction comes across an injured alliance soldier begging for help? Will they ignore their own code of conduct? Or leave them to the mercy of fate?
(Important point of notice: I will be playing the injured alliance soldier, you will be playing the criminal.)
All aboard the galactica!:
The galactica was a first class explorer ship led by only the greatest of military leaders and alliance figures. Many cadets dreamed of the day that they would one day either get to work onboard the ship whilst many more longed for the day that they’d be chosen as it’s next captain. To be the leader at the helm of the ship was considered the greatest honour and duty one could ever have befall them. Not everyone is content with having the responsibility of an entire fleet on their shoulders nor are the first few days, months or even years of being captain easy. To top it off, not everyone always agreed with the captains choice of their chosen protégé. As a wise man once said, one must be a follower before they could become a leader. When disaster strikes, will the remaining crew members be able to accept their new dynamic, or will it all fall to chaos?
(Important point of notice: I will be playing the character chosen to be the next captain of the galactica, you can either play as my character’s rival or a friend who has turned a bit cold from jealousy. I’m also open to you being the one who was chosen to be the next captain.)
Forced:
”there’s no such thing as a bad person. Only bad choices.” Is a saying that is older than time itself. For many who are forced into a position where they have no other choice but to put their morals aside and do as they’re told, this is all too true. A space farer is captured by criminals and forced to choose between death or working as the criminals captain’s personal assistant. That means every order has to be obeyed and every rule must be followed or consequences will be dealt by force. As time passes and life go ons, the captured spacer starts to see his predicament in a different light.
(Important point of notice: I will be playing the captured spacer. You will be playing the captain.)
Forbidden love:
aliens and humans are forbidden from associating with one another in any way that isn’t political. Whilst the two races have put aside enough of their differences to coexist in their own little pockets of space, not everyone is accepting of the idea that the two different species could live together as one, let alone ever simply just coexist peacefully together without insisting that alien planets and human planets are to be kept seperate. To trespass on the strictly human or alien occupied planets is a crime that few dare to commit. What starts out as a simple act of one sided rebellion and show of courage turns into an unanticipated adventure.
War of the worlds:
humans and aliens were never meant to coexist peacefully with one another. There was too much fear, Too much misinformation and too much bias on both sides for such a thing to have ever been successful. It was the humans fault that the war had started. They were the ones who’d shot down the alien ship that had been packed with specially chosen diplomats that represented each alien race known to the galaxies they dwelled in that had been on their way to earth to negotiate a truce and a plan for peace. They hadn’t even hesitated to shoot the ship full of aliens yet they’d been surprised when war had been declared on the spot. Two races. Two worlds so different yet the same fighting one another for what was either a mistake or intentional murder.
Captured:
Space criminals have been around ever since advanced technology allowed others to travel and live in space as if they were living anywhere else. They’re often cunning, tricky to catch and more often than not are clever at disguising themselves whenever those wanted posters come up. It takes skill to be on the wrong side of space law and true talent to get away with it. The galaxy’s current most wanted man has finally been captured by an alliance captain and his crew. Will he beg for mercy? Will he be given a trial before being thrown into a cell to rot or will he be given a chance to turn himself around with some hard labour?
(Important point of notice: I’ll be playing the criminal for this one. You will be the alliance captain)
Enslaved:
imagine living the life of one of the most successful people on the run that could exist. Galaxies trembled at your name. You and your crew swam in wealth and the going was good. Mutiny, sadly and sometimes not sadly, exists on its own accord. One man reflected on this as he was forced to his feet. A collar attached to a chain and electromagnetic handcuffs prevented his escape as he stood for all those who cared to glance as they walked by in the market to see. No one wants to have their only life’s purpose to be to serve another……only sometimes people don’t get that choice.
(Important point of notice: I’ll be playing the slave/servant. You’ll be the master/mistress.)
Betrothed:
for as long as there has been civilisation and leaders, there has been arranged marriages. Arranged marriages, or betrothals as they were more often called, consisted of pairing two people together and making them get married in order to secure ties to another land or another planet. Political marriages benefited everyone but the married pair it always seemed. After all, you couldn’t possibly be happy being married to a complete and utter stranger? How does one who is betrothed build a life of love and prosperity when the one who bears the rings of their union is not the one who also bears their heart?
(Important point of notice: this can go two ways, either our characters are betrothed to each other or one character is betrothed. The idea has endless possibilities)
Invasion:
march 18th in the year of 6079 was the day that the aliens invaded earth. They’d been planning the take over for some time as they came prepared and easily took out Earth’s defence forces. No one knows exactly why the extraterrestrial beings from the outer worlds came to the humble blue and green planet the humans had existed on for millions of years nor did they seem to have any true intentions known other than conquering the planet and taking it for their own. This has led to the belief that all aliens must be the cruel monsters the humans stories have made them out to be. What happens when the actions of one alien puts that to the test?
(Important point of notice: I’m open to having this idea turned around and having the humans invade an alien world to take over.)
On the run:
even on the most modern of planets, life on the lamb can be difficult. There’s authorities to avoid and even more rules to break in the game of survival. No one takes pity on those who have done wrong to the point that they have their face in the paper. Even if it’s not your fault, will anyone give you shelter from the harsh cold winds of reality and a biased opinion? What happens when someone does take a chance on a poor wayfaring stranger? Will the wrongdoer be turned in or given a new lease on life?
Harden my heart:
once upon a time, there was two friends who were the best of friends that anyone could have ever seen. Two people who had each other’s backs through thick and thin. Two people who supported each other endlessly even if their morals weren’t entirely inline with each other’s. Two friends who swore to never leave each other’s sides. Alas with the time of great growing came changes, the two friends bond had severed and they’d gone their separate ways in life. What happens when they run into each other many years later?
captain on deck!:
captains weren’t meant to fall in love with their subordinates. They were supposed to be well refined leaders who only mingled with those of a similar status. They represented the people they worked for after all, therefore they had an image that had to be strictly maintained towards the public in order to not be disgraced in any form. Behind closed doors however…..feelings were allowed to be a little more free. Secret lovers were frowned upon but one could take the risk if they were careful. After all, the captains word was law.
I need you:
space is a cruel mistress to even those who are experienced with charting her waters. Space, although beautiful, is often the grave of many brave explorers, soldiers and other space faring strangers. When a stranger comes to scavenge parts from a newly crashed ship in the hopes of finding something useful, they come across a familiar face. Old feelings stir and clash with one another when the crash’s survivor awakens and finds out who their rescuer is.
Sooooo….. about those pairings. Whatever has two stars next to it is what I’m going to play if we choose the scenario:
1:enemies to lovers or rivals.
2: **captured criminal** x prison guard or other prisoner.
3: two soldiers from seperate sides falling in love.
4:**low ranking ship crew member/second in command/captured space criminal** x captain.
5: **slave/servant** x master/mistress
6: married person X unmarried person
7: stowaway x captain
8: nurse x **injured soldier**
9: human x **alien**
10: old lovers/friends finding each other again/learning to love again after a rift in their relationship.
11: **alliance captain/commander/crew member** x space criminal.
I’m open to discussing and potentially mixing these ideas up till we get something that we both like. If you want to learn more about a certain idea tell me the name and I shall expand on it.
The only platforms I rp on are discord currently but I can be persuaded to rp on Google chat if discord is not an option, I don’t use telegram anymore. I will not rp on any other platform other than the ones listed (though I do not mind people reaching out to me via email for rp requests but I will not rp on email. Be warned I may take a while to get back to you if you choose to reach out to me this way). If you do not have any of those then unfortunately we cannot rp. When you reach out to me requesting for an rp In the opening message tell me what idea you liked, why you liked and give me a little introduction about you and you must put 123 somewhere in your message so that I know you’ve read all of my post. If you do not put those things in the opening message then I will not rp with you, don’t just put “hi wanna rp”. Make it interesting.
Ivy Smith is the youngest of the three Muggleborn Smith siblings.
The eldest, Lillian, is the Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts, and the ex-wife of beloved ice cream shop proprietor, Florean Fortescue. The middle Smith, Henry, was a Hufflepuff, married the Head Obliviator, and became the head of the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad. From his first day at Hogwarts Henry was outspoken af against the purist ideologies and agenda… and Voldemort murdered Henry in the Ministry atrium on Christmas 1950 to send the message that pro-Muggle/Muggleborn sentiments would not be tolerated.
Ivy is a character bursting with possibility and all the right connections… And possibly simmering with rage at the anti-Muggle sentiment movement that is growing in her sister’s world - a movement that took off with her brother’s murder.
December 1951 is in full swing! And for the first time, GM has three in-character events (or activities) going simultaneously.
• The RomCom AU event is up and running if you need some silly fluff. We all understand the brainpower and energy it takes to be creative, and with things going the way they are, sometimes it’s nice to have the break of writing something low-effort. These are kinda like the ‘grilled cheese and tomato soup/comfort food’ threads
• Case No. 001 is live and our Aurors are actively investigating Claudia Stewart’s death. (There is still one temporary character left for the Case No. 001 event - Bella Barnes, a Chaser for the Pride of Portree and teammate of Claudia’s. Don’t forget, temporary characters are open to the public and come with no expectation or obligation to officially join the site after the event ends!)
• The Ghost of Christmas Past event just launched for those who would like to step into a time-machine and explore Christmas memories from their character’s Hogwarts days. Oh, and don’t worry if you have a Muggle or a character that didn’t attend Hogwarts - we thought of that and want to make sure everyone can participate!
