    Default Let's get Criminal

    So, currently I'm really into crime-themed
    role-plays. Those are my favourite right now
    and ones that I most easily accept as plots.
    Doesn't mean I'll reject everything else though.
    Feel free to suggest other plots to me!

    I don't know why, but I've been stuck on this
    one plot with different variants. Something along
    the lines of:

    M/oc is the child of a mafia man and y/oc is a
    person of the law involved in the case of
    bringing down the said criminal organisation.

    That's the short of it. A lot can happen. And also,
    there are variants for each character.
    For m/oc:

    1.] M/oc is involved in the works of his father ​
    and is completely aware of what's going on.​
    He actively takes part in the 'missions' of ​
    the criminal organisation, but considers ​
    himself to be more of a person that works ​
    outside the hq and alone - as someone ​
    who takes care of people who are in debt ​
    to his father and alike. ​

    2.] M/oc is seldom aware of his father's works. He ​knows it's illegal, but really is disinterested and ​doesn't really have a wish to know more. He gets ​money from his father and that's enough for him ​to not push his nose into it and to not tell anyone​ about it. For now, at least..​

    3.] M/oc is not at all aware of what his father does. He​believes that the money comes from his parent ​working in a big oil company or something and so ​he overall comes across very oblivious to it. ​Albeit, since the oc I use for these plots is actually​an observant and not ignorant person, he would ​probably just have to be off medication for the​most part - which entails hallucinations and ​
    unstable behaviour to a degree. ​

    For y/oc:

    1.] Y/oc is someone already experienced in their line ​of work so they are given the case of this organisation. ​They are entrusted with gauging out information about it​and to find a way to take the whole thing down since it ​has ties everywhere an distributes all kinds of illegal things. ​
    [Compatible with all variants of m/oc]​

    2.] Y/oc is someone new to their job. Eager to prove themselves​ because of one thing or another, they decide to take the hard ​case to show everyone their worth. Or maybe they're just ambitious and take the case to progress through the ranks ​quicker. Whatever their main motive, taking down a big​ organisation is bound to get them recognised. Y/oc could have taken the case straight from their ​superior or they maybe decided to work on it in secret as​ their own side thing. ​
    [Compatible with all variants of m/oc]​

    3.] Y/oc is a citizen that has/doesn't have previous contact ​with criminal things. They're friends with or become ​close with m/oc and notice things.. out of place, let's say.​ The dots gets connected easily and the two, being curious ​
    or whatever, decide to look into m/oc's father more to see ​what his work really is about. It's like dangerous adventure. ​
    [Compatible with variant 3 and 2 from m/oc]​

    I guess that would be it concerning that plot. I really like it right now, so, if you're interested, that's great! Just tell me which variant of it speaks to you, lmao. A few other things would be prompts that can beexpanded on, I guess.

    1.] Our OCs live together in a shitty apartment and ​are petty thieves just to have enough to pay ​
    for the basic things. Maybe they get involved ​
    with bigger things they didn't ask for and alike. ​

    2.] Both our OCs are criminals who work alone ​
    (or in a smaller group/gang, always your call for ​
    y/oc). They can be bigger/known criminals or ​
    someone unknown to the police. ​
    〢They could meet while they're both running​
    from the cops and realise they must work ​
    together to get away.​
    〢Or maybe they find themselves trying to rob the same establishment.​
    〢If they're both members of some gangs, maybe one ​confronts the other about having to stop selling​ merchandise to their consumers and alike. ​
    〢From there, we just hope they have some ​
    sort of chemistry to push the plot onward. ​
    I know I didn't really give out that many ideas,
    but there's some. If someone is willing to do the
    first plot I mentioned with me, that'd be amazing!
    Everything here can be expanded on!
    I'm open to hearing your ideas and finding a way
    to incorporate them into the plot.

    AND THEN

    Everyone has some rules, requirements
    or whatever you wanna call them when
    it comes to role-playing, so I'll have some
    listed in this tab as well. Maybe it helps tell
    how I write and whatnot.

    1.] I write in third person and past tense. ​
    I expect you to do the same. ︳​
    〢Along with that, I'd like to mention that I ​
    don't want text talk within the rp [like: idk, rn...etc..]. ​Exception is if the characters within the rp are texting.​
    〢The marks I use in the role-play are quotation marks [""] ​for speaking, italics andor ' ' for thinking.

    2.] No characters that are too good at everything​
    or suck at everything. Neither is fun. ︳​
    〢A character being insecure in things they do ​
    is different, that's alright that's normal. But ​
    a character that is a bummer every step of ​
    the way or a character that knows how to ​
    solve every problem as soon as they see it​
    are not really wanted. ​
    〢That does not mean y/oc can't have a ​
    mental disorder or anything else. ​
    〢I'm including god-modding and metaing​
    or whatever you call it here. Just don't control​
    m/oc and don't give y/oc knowledge​
    they had no way of obtaining. The things​
    you might know about m/oc outside the rp​
    is not necessarily something y/oc knows. ​


    3.] Fairly frequent replies. ​
    Multiple paragraphs (around 400+ words) ​
    Decent grammar​
    Long-term ︳​
    〢I usually reply once a day, but if I really​
    didn't have the time I reply every two/three ​
    days. If I know I won't be able to reply for a ​
    while, I will inform you and I expect the same ​
    thing from you. At least one reply a week (or a ​
    notice about not replying, but still being ​
    interested in the rp). If I got nothing, I will ​
    message you after a few days of no replies to​
    see if you're still interested. Feel free to pester ​
    me about replies. ​
    〢I usually reach the 400-500 radius of words per​
    reply, but it might go higher or lower depending ​
    on the situation. I don't want to get one-liners in ​
    return, but I don't expect mirroring my reply length ​either. ​
    〢Grammar is important. If I can't understand what's ​written, I can't reply. I'm not a native English speaker​so I don't expect flawless grammar. As long as I can ​understand it, it's good. ​
    〢I prefer my role-plays to be long-term. ​


    4.] Mature themes ︳​
    〢Things like violence and dark themes ​
    are my thing. I prefer plots with criminal aspects,​
    and crime most of the time isn't that peaceful.​
    That doesn't mean the whole rp will be just ​
    explosions and guns. ​
    〢If you don't like seeing something particular​
    in a rp, please point it out to me before we start​
    so that I steer clear of it!​


    4.] Realistic Ocs ︳​
    〢Things like werewolves and vampires ​
    never were my thing. I prefer realistic ​
    human characters. Sorry, not sorry. ​
    〢When it comes to fantasy, I am really ​
    picky with plots, but if I agree on one ​
    then I am okay with characters having ​
    certain powers (but not being op). ​
    〢 And, just because it seems important ​
    to a lot of people, I don't use face claims. ​
    I don't require you to use face claims. I'm ​
    okay with just description alone. ​


    5.] Communication ︳​
    〢It's fairly important to communicate.​
    If you don't like where the rp is going ​
    or are lost on where to go from some ​
    point, speak to me and we can work ​
    something out.​
    〢I do prefer to make a separate chat ​
    for rp and for just talking. I don't mind ​
    just talking to my partner. Feel free to ​
    send ideas my way, to ask for a new​
    rp, to send me things that remind you ​
    of our OCs or even to just talk abut your​
    day. ​


    That's about it for the rules. Feel free to ask about
    anything else below in the thread. If you're interested to rp, then please message me and we're gonna work something out!

    I could have fun with a criminal RP, just a few questions.

    How do you feel about futuristic/cyberpunk ideas?

    Romance thoughts?

    Instead of a cop/robber angle, what about a Mercenary hired to take down the robber?

    Hello!

    I'm not really into futuristic themes. I stick to modern settings.

    Romance is fine by me. If the OCs clicked, they did. Though, I won't force romance between two characters that obviously can't get along in that sort of way.

    That's okay with me. With what I have in plan for m/oc,that could work. Maybe it could work for both roles, but m/oc is otherwise a very effective and straight-to-the-point person, so I don't think he'd fail a mercenary job [unless he's just downright having some problems that would prevent him from doing a good job]
    And someone being hired to take him down wouldn't be anything off the table. He's a very unlikeable criminal seeing that his main thing is just snitching people out.
    So, you can freely choose the role you want out of those two.

    I am coming back from a break. I write Cop/Agent/Assassin characters frequently and am interested in the plot lines. Had one thought somewhat floating around for my character. (stalk some of my stories, I usually write Asian female characters that have strong personalities though write male characters that fit the story line).

    I was thinking of a character that is a small business owner (jewelry store or similar) and your character happens in. By appearance she is sweet and known to be kind to those who visit her shop (she would be mysterious when inquired about her back ground). Either she or your character take interest when you come in (maybe hiding from rival, ducking in to ditch a police tail, some other reason for coming in).

    As time passes, she gets curious about the background she is given as his characteristics give her reason to dig a bit. Her nature (perhaps her hidden past (initial thoughts *a reporter that left after a disastrous story result*, *a member of Special Ops that walked away after a mission that went south now trying to reinvent herself as someone nice* *a lawyer that had done one too many questionable things during her career before walking away*). Any persona, she would be drawn to look into inconsistencies in who she thinks she knows.

    For you, her background she portrays start to show a dark side (perhaps watching from a distance in a club as a rough looking guy is persisting on being her date, she sweetly declines, just before your enforcer is sent to 'save the poor girl', she throat punches the guy with her clutch leaving him on the floor while casually leaving the club) or just casts some mystery about her.

    This does seem like an awesome mysterious crime story.

    Okay,
    So the basics of it are:

    Y/oc owns a small shop. M/oc goes inside to hide from someone or whatever. They speak to each other and obviously get into a conversation and they hit it off rather pleasantly. They become friends or merely acquaintances [or they just run into each other everywhere somehow] and from there find out things about each other. Maybe a reason for them to stick together or soemthing pops up.

    Did I get it right? If so, I like it! You can message me and we can work out the story and then start the roleplay

    Ok good to know, sadly things might be taking off in my RL soon, so might not have time for a new RP now. But thanks for listening to my thoughts.

    You'll have more than enough fun with the Squirrel father though so no loss anywhere. lol
