Looking to embark on a dark plot line - Gaspard - 07-21-2014
Heyo!
Anyway, I guess I should elaborate.
I'm a big fan of the darker, somewhat evil type of storylines, mostly because I tend to gravitate to such things in fiction. (May that be Villains of all types, or Anti-heroes. You name it, I probably do enjoy it). From Hannibal Lecter onto the likes of the Joker, or more classic in the form of Evil sorcerer archetypes, or the more revenge driven tales that embark your characters on a journey to find out the pitfalls of their own self, as seen in various movies.
Now, given that, I'm looking for like-minded individuals willing to brainstorm on a few possible ideas and the likes. So far, I could see my character in various scenarios to get things rolling in the right direction, but nothing i'd like to set in stone to let others toss in their ideas first. An example would be something along the lines of the Master/Student relation one can see in Star wars for Sith and the likes.
I play on both European and NA timezones, as my work shifts tend to keep me inbetween both at times.

Yessss, I too am looking for a bit of dark roleplay. As a longtime fan of the Hannibal novels/movie adaptations, I ended up rolling this guy, who I play as a cannibalistic sociopath who enjoys watching people unwittingly eat meat that he has prepared. At the moment I have him lurking around various players and scenes, but I'd very much like to have a more solid plotline for him. I'd be more than happy to brainstorm stuff with you!

I suddenly wish Aya, Coatleque, and Warren had their conversation somewhere else last night. The whole time I we were standing there, you guys were eating in front of us...
Pretty sure that was you. With the random bag of cooked steaks.

Yes! They were delicious, and Burning was happy to share.

Oh, so that was our mystery stalker. I guess we do owe Towering Falcon a thanks. What if Kage had been kidnapped?

on topic:
I'd be open for some dark plotlines. The Unnamed Mercenary currently walks in the middle of morality. It wouldn't be strange to be associated with good and bad people of varying degrees. I wouldn't plan on him being the main villain, but certainly associated, maybe helping both sides. (He's planned to be a little more of a lawful neutral after a lot more character development).
RE: Looking to embark on a dark plot line - Coatleque - 07-21-2014
In a more "on-topic" response, I'd be willing to play on the lawful side of things. I've already run emissary work between Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa. Of course Coatleque's reach ends at the border of Thanalan, but she can work with the other cities to relay information. She's already tied up in multiple plots, but the more the merrier I say!
RE: Looking to embark on a dark plot line - Warren Castille - 07-21-2014
You will definitely have no shortage of opposition if you operate in Ul'dah.
RE: Looking to embark on a dark plot line - Gaspard - 07-21-2014
I'm well aware of that, which is why I would try to keep it very low key for the beginning. Finesse and Subterfuge over flamboyance, ofcourse.

RE: Looking to embark on a dark plot line - Lady Rivienne - 07-21-2014
I often do gravitate towards darker plots because they're usually the ones that are very engrossing for me. I wouldn't mind helping out, of course, this has potential to be a lot of fun. Pushing my character to new limits is rather appealing! Nevermind that I seem to make her suffer with morality checks a times.
Anywho, count me in.
RE: Looking to embark on a dark plot line - Roen - 07-21-2014
Darker plots? Vat is dis?
I would love to help out! Brainstorm! Have a cameo! Or just be a sounding board.
While Roen is a goody two-shoes, Raelisanne is my outlet to explore darker things. She too is not the flashy type, not looking for any wanton destruction. She has her personal motivations that drives her to do unethical things.
Let me know if I can help out.Â

Raelisanne also has plenty of minions to do her work for her. *cough*
...I should actually send her another letter sometime.
