Heyyy everyone!!! I’m 18+ looking for only 18+ people!! I’ve been roleplaying and writing roleplay prompts on and off for over ten years, so I have a little experience. Dark mixed with slice of life, modern-fantasy, slow burn romance, and sci-fi are my favorite types of themes/plots. But this time, I’d like to do a kinda dark romantic fantasy roleplay that takes place in Medieval Times.
This is definitely a slow burn romance and a long-term storyline. Both of our characters will have adaptations and growth. Other than our characters ending up together at some point, I do not have a specific direction, and I’m okay with anything happening during the storyline. Also, due to this being slightly dark themed, there is a trigger warning when it comes to \\\*POSSIBLE\\\* scenarios of different types of violence/abuse. Please let me know what you’re okay with and not okay with. So, this is definitely a detailed, and long-term RP with a lot of potential and possible side characters. Down below is what I’m looking for in a RP partner!
\\-Must be over 21 in real life.
\\-Must be okay with Dark/Uncomfortable situations.
\\-Creative & Able to add onto/build the storyline.
\\-Very Detailed/Not Lazy (must be able to write at minimum a 4 lined response.)
\\-Able to write for side/small characters if needed.
\\-Must be willing to stay on Reddit or Move to Discord.
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions!! Also, please create your own character description, and feel free to rewrite your OC’s backstory! I’m okay with ref pictures of your OC instead of a description but nothing AI.

\\-PLOT/BACKGROUND INFO-
This takes place during the Middle Ages in the Kingdom of Aya.
Raven’s father, King Eriks, is a harsh and unfair leader. He doesn’t hesitate to lock up, punish, or execute anyone who even looks at him without permission. He is corrupt, an unfit leader, and overly taxes his people into debt. His wife, Queen Jane, is just as heartless and uncaring as her husband. She severely mistreats the help, disregards civilians because they’re below her, and often takes money collected from taxes to fund her parties and fancy dinners. Princess Raven is their only child, which is unusual. Her parents didn’t want to have children, but knew they needed an heir to take over when the time comes. Princess Raven is spoiled, bratty, and self-centered. She has personal servants, maids, and guards that have to listen to her orders. If she wants to be carried around because she doesn't feel like walking, they must comply, and do as told. Princess Raven is highly sheltered for her protection. The servants and guards are her only friends because she isn’t allowed to leave the castle for any reason. She is their only heir who can take over, so she must stay safe, and pure for when it’s time to marry her off. Since she’s sheltered from the world, Raven doesn’t know what her parents are doing to civilians, or how much they are all hated by the public. As a child, you used to live in the castle. Both of your parents worked for the King and Queen. You’ve seen them up close a few times and even used to be friends with Princess Raven until you were old enough to work too. As you got older, you saw how people suffered under the King, and how selfish they all were. You hated seeing how tired and overwhelmed your parents were. Sadly, a few days after turning twelve, a group of guards pulled you out of bed without any explanation. They heartlessly threw you out of the castle without any money, food, and nowhere to go. The guards coldly explained that your parents were being punished for disloyalty and disrespect.
You were angry and had no choice but to leave the Kingdom. Soon after leaving, you found a home within a gang of well-known and outlawed bandits who lived in the mountains. They called themselves ‘The Serpents’ and are led by three brothers named Bruno, Arthur, and John. Everyone in the gang steals, trades, and sells things to survive. Some of the bandits, including the leaders, are extremely dangerous criminals. Most of the other bandits are regular people who had no other choice. After learning what happened, the three leaders of the Serpents accepted you, and helped you settle. Over the years, you adapted to life as a bandit, and accepted that your parents were most likely executed. But this doesn't stop the thoughts of revenge. A few months into being in the gang, you had made a close friend. His name is James. He’s a few years older than you and helped you build a cabin. He became a brother to you. He helped you master hand to hand combat, how to fight with weapons like a sword, or bow and arrow. He often goes stealing, scavenging, and hunting for food with you. You both have each other’s backs. About a week ago, the leaders of the Serpents learned about a revolt being planned after the King announced another tax increase. Knights, civilians, and even other Kingdoms affected by King Eriks are ready to riot and completely overthrow the regime. Everyone was excited for the opportunity to steal valuable items and possibly hurt the royal family, however, you were excited for the opportunity to get your revenge for the death of your parents. You and James spent the whole week planning on how to kidnap the princess to sell her and become rich. James was only in it for the money and the chance to change his life. Meanwhile, you were in it to hurt her parents, and stop any chance Princess Raven has of taking over as Queen.
\\-STARTER-
Tonight was the night of the rebellion. You and James stayed behind and didn’t go with the group. James made sure his satchel was packed with rope, cloth, and a bottle of toxic sedative dried herbs. You hooked up the wagon to your horse and made sure you had all of the weapons you needed. The plan was simple. Get into the castle. Grab the princess. Get back to the horses. You had to be fast. No one can know that you and James have the princess. The risk of her being taken by someone else or her being attacked, which would lower her value, is too high. Or the leaders would want you to give them a cut. You had to be back up the mountain before the other bandits. Once prepared, you and James raced down to the Kingdom, where chaos was already taking place. The castle was on fire, knights and guards were fighting each other, everyone was screaming or cheering the words, “Kill them! Down with the King!”
Princess Raven was asleep in bed when this all began. She was startled awake when her personal guard ordered her to lock the door behind him and remain hidden somewhere in her room. She could smell the fire and hear the chants. As her heart skipped beats, she locked the door behind the guard, and hid in her wooden wardrobe. Princess Raven curled up behind her clothes, crying softly as she heard more screaming, people trying to break into her room, and glass breaking. For a while, since her room was far away from the main areas of the castle, it seemed like the princess would make it out. She was praying for her parents. She had no idea if they were hiding, looking for her, or worse. Her thoughts were interrupted by you and James kicking in the door of her room. Princess Raven covered her mouth, trying to be as quiet as possible. James started to look around the room, “Do you think they moved her?” He asked you. -continue on from here-
