Meta Roleplay Sub Advertisement Megathread

19 Upvotes

We often get users asking to advertise their specific themed roleplay subs, so here is a place to do so!

- All sub links shared are subject for review and must be SFW. All links are subject to removal at moderator's discretion.

- Subs must not just be copy-paste/clone of this sub. (So no, r/OriginalCharacter_RP2 or similar)

- This can be a search hub for finding RP partners, or can be a sub centered around a specific theme.

- Try and keep some relevance to OCs. If it is a specific fandom or involves canon character RP that's fine, but OCs must be allowed.

- This does not include discord spaces. This is for other subreddits specifically.

So share your links here!

Meta Welcome to r/OriginalCharacter_RP!

What is this place?

This is a place to either roleplay, or find people to roleplay with, original characters! This is a sister sub to r/Originalcharacter ! But, specifically for the roleplaying aspect and character interactions. So either make posts for character interactions, or even post ads to find RP partners!

A breakdown of the rules: If you are familiar with r/Originalcharacter rules, this is mostly a rehash, with some slight adjustments. The rules can be found in more depth on the sidebar; this is just a breakdown.

1.No NSFW Content

This includes both art and written form. Mildly suggestive is acceptable (under moderators discretion), but explicitly sexual content is not allowed. This includes nudity and graphic depictions of gore, as well as ERP. Do not invite or offer NSFW roleplay into DMs. This is a place for SFW roleplay only.

2. Be Kind

Self explanatory. When engaging in OOC (out of character) discussions, keep is civil and kind. If ‘In character’, keep things in good faith; don’t be a jerk with your OC as an attack against other users.

3. No advertising of unsolicited commercial services

This is not a place to offer commissions, drawing offerings, adoptables, or any other for profit service.

4. No Excessive Posting and Low effort

No more than 5 posts per day. Any more than that will be automatically removed. As for now “Low effort” is not an official rule (unlike the main branch of the sub r/Originalcharacter ); this may be pending to change depending on the needs of the subreddit.

5. Must be Roleplay and OC related

All posts must be related to roleplay: be it a roleplay post, ad, or roleplay discussion (flaired OOC). All roleplays must be related to original characters specifically.

Feel free to offer suggestions! What you might want to see here or what changes you might suggest! This is a brand new subreddit and branching over an entire portion from one sub to another is a pretty big change! So, drop your thoughts.

Additionally, if you would like to see both subs on your feed at once, here is a custom link:

Roleplay [Any Literacy] The wolf of the Tundra

Post image
42 Upvotes

(Artist Credits: AyatoNek)

Scenario A: On a dark and blizzard night, your OC found themselves caught up in a snow storm, one that grows worse as the minutes pass, the area becoming more and more difficult to see through. Suddenly, they manage to spot a lone cabin in this area, with the front door unlocked.

The inside was much warmer, with even a lit fireplace at the center of the room with a pot sitting above it that smelled of a stew. A moment later, your OC would suddenly feel the tip of a blade pressed on the back of their neck.

"You have one chance and one chance only to explain: What are you doing in my home? Do not lie." The female voice would say with a noticeable Finnish accent

Scenario B: Whilst traveling through the open land of a cold Tundra (for whatever reason they may be doing so: lost or in need of directions), your OC spots a lone wooden cabin in the distance, a wolf lady sitting outside, sharpening a handcrafted spear. She doesn't seem to spot your character...or choosing not to show she knows of their presence. Do they approach said wolf and cabin?

Just tryna flesh out a character more. Her name is Glacina, she stands at around 5'7". Combat is okay, but preferably not and nothing OP or insta kill bs (I will ignore). Romance possible with any gender, but she may be hard to get or romance.

I'll try to reply when I can, and have fun!

Roleplay [Any Literacy] Friendly neighborhood

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

This takes place in 1993, 5 years before James' death; in a suburban neighborhood somewhere in Indiana.

Have fun with James, I guess; this is just a random thing I thought of. So take this to wherever you want, can be a short one, can be a long one :P

You wake up, at around 5 am, very early... After your morning coffee/breakfast, you go outside for a hot minute to appreciate the rising sun; beautiful, no? The neighbor's dogs seem to be barking up a storm, oh well; don't let that ruin your dawn.

You see a kid on his bike, wonderful; always lovely seeing the young ones having fun out in the open. This out in the early though? Hope the parents are watching 'em. Unfortunately, he trips his bike on an unseen rock. Ouch, that's gonna leave a mark... The kid lets out a cry, oh that's a worrisome sight...

Before you try and go outside to help the kid out, someone already beat you to it; a man in a gray jacket immediately runs from the sidewalk to the kid's side "Hey hey hey, you alright kid?? Where are your parents at?" The kid points to his supposed home, good kid. "Alright alright... let's get you to safety." He lifts the kid with one arm, strong dude; and drags the bike towards the home. He drops the bike on the fence.

He approaches the door, knocking till someone answers; thankfully someone does. The mother, she looks distressed; rightfully so though. You see him try and explain the issue at hand, at least it went the way it was expected. Quick and reasonable...

He walks off the front of the house, then spots you... creepily watching from your window. He gives an awkward smile with a likewise wave. He continues and waddles off.

But before he disappears from your view, don't you just wanna be a pry and commend the dude? Who knows, maybe you can make friends with him. Probably not, but hey; never hurt to try.

Your villain OC is doing one of their crimes when they get smacked by something unseen. They see someone standing in front of them, leaning on a staff. He snickers, twirling his staff. "Didn't your Ma or Pops ever tell ya that what you're doing ain't the way to go?"

OR

Your hero OC is responding to a bank robbery when they see a blur of purple and green zip right by them. The blur stops, revealing to be one of the newer hero trainees. "Howdy! Need a hand?"

What do they do?

Roleplay [Multi Lines] This idiot appears on your doorstep

Post image
• Upvotes

It is late at night and I want to get a feel for this little guy. Take him for a spin if you will. I also find writing for other things makes me more motivated to write more for my main things.. yay, writing exercise… Pls don’t kill me if I don’t reply to some my reddit notifications sometimes don’t show and. sometimes I don’t have the brain power. I also just dgaf if you do the same to me on posts so don’t sweat it m8

Scenario:

It’s early evening and your OC is going through their nightly routine at their abode (wherever that may be). Perhaps they are making themselves dinner, settling down to watch TV, locking all their doors and windows… whatever they may do. As they do so, they hear a knock at the door.

Opening it, a man stands at their doorstep. He stands at 5’8”, looks to be in his mid twenties and looks a little scruffy. He can’t help but look sketchy standing there, scratching at an itch that refuses to go away under his sleeve and struggling to fully make eye contact.

There’s a pause before a lopsided, sheepish grin slides onto his face. “Heeeyyy, man,” he says slowly, sounding like he’s trying to hold in a nervous laugh. “So, uh… sorry, aha, um… okay, well, I got kicked out of this house I was staying at and I’m kinda just knocking at doors, looking to surf. On couches, I mean.”

As he’s rambling, your OC notices this guy has literally nothing on him other than the clothes on his back. Not even a bag or suitcase is in sight. He’s just dressed in a simple black hoodie and a pair of jeans with old sneakers. He continues. “Only for a day or two, y’know, and then I’ll move on…”

There’s a breeze and it starts to drizzle rain. He finally stops flicking his eyes around and makes eye contact. “I’m getting kinda desperate, since it’s night and all, haha, getting cold out and stuff. Like, heh, I’ll do anything at this point. Seriously. Anything. Shit, literally anything. Can I come in?”

What does your OC do….!!!!!

Side note: you are encouraged to let him in. Of course, if your OC wouldn’t at first, feel free to make him beg and work for it LOL he is a loser but not evil (imagine a wet dog)… but trust me when I say he truly is willing to do anything for a place to crash.. This is also a modern setting, like my usual crime one except crime isn’t a huge focus. Humans highly preferred but humanoids/magical/superpower stuff is okay.

-Basic literacy and coherency: PLEASE!!!
-Multi-lines: 1-3 paragraphs minimum PLEASE!!! (that’s how much i tend to do)
-Romance: OKAY! If you really want that. He makes seriously terrible life choices tho. Maybe you can fix him.. 💔 he is down for any gender..!
-Combat: OKAY!
-OP/IDC/joke OCs: NO!!!
-Character description/no image: OKAY!
-Questions: GO AHEAD!

Roleplay Looking for the Charta Plicata City.. [Any Literacy!]

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Settings: It was 2 am and you couldn't sleep quite well due to the death of Kieta, so you decided to take the video recorder to check what she had left when she died.

The first few were an apology for her death. She said that she can't live any longer and must end before anything gets worse.

The last recording however, said this.

"Hello? If you're hearing this right now, please go to the Folded Paper city. The portal is right somewhere in the place where I will take my funeral in. After I die, may you come over there... I'll be waiting for you."

You were confused why she told you about it. Shall you go?

[For u/Lower-Supermarket849 : After you heard the recording, you started to think that she may be not dead yet... You called your sister and walked to Insolitus' home.

"Ugh.. what do you want..?" She's still sleepy, yet you told her about the recording. She stayed a bit silent and just teleported to the area along with you and your sister. (She's still in her pajamas)

After that, she pushes a button right near the coffin which leads to the top of a train. The sky is stitched, and you have gotten some minor injuries. Now, you just have to wait until the sun comes up and you reach the city.]

[For u/PzkpwVI : You visit Kieta's mother again just to make sure she's okay. However, since she's at work, you see nobody here. Kieta's coffin is still there, so you decided to check... Until something opens and you fall down onto the top of the train. 2 other people are there.. A guy who is yellow and has a Tophat, and the other who you may know of...]

Romance Roleplay [Muili-Paragraph] F4A long term romantic role play

3 Upvotes

Hello!

F here, I'm looking for a long term romantic DETAILED role play.

What I'm looking for:

• 18+ roleplayers only. I'm only comfortable writing with adults, and for our characters to be 18+ ONLY.

• Anyone who is comfortable playing as an assertive type of character.

• I don't have a preference as to what type of character you would like to play as, whether that be somebody masculine / feminine / gender fluid. Anyone is welcome. For myself, I prefer playing as a female.

• Semi-lit to literate writing. A few solid paragraphs per reply is preferred.

• OC-friendly. I love creating characters and having an excuse to draw them. If you prefer to play as "yourself" that is fine, I prefer making characters.

• Collaborative plotting.

• Please bare in mind that I do like to include slow burn. I like 60% story 40% spice.

What I'm hoping to try out:

I generally stick to slice of life with a mixture of romances, drama, angst. Anything that can include tension and immersion.

Idea 1: The Detective That Never Goes Home. ( Easily expandable )

A tired detective has a habit of visiting the same diner after every long shift. He always takes the same booth, orders the same black coffee, and barely speaks to anyone.

The waitress serving him begins to recognise his routines. She notices the bruised knuckles, the sleepless eyes, and how he sometimes sits staring at his coffee long after it has gone cold.

Eventually, their brief exchanges become conversations. He starts staying after his coffee is finished, and she begins setting aside his favourite table before he arrives.

Idea 2: The Girl Next Door ( Grumpy x Sunshine )

After leaving the mafia, he moves into a modest apartment building in an attempt to start over. He's the neighbour nobody knows much about. He keeps odd hours, rarely socialises, and has a habit of watching the street from his window.

The quiet girl lives next door. She's reserved, keeps to herself, and has a tendency to apologise even when she's done nothing wrong.

Their relationship begins with small inconveniences. She accidentally locks herself out. He helps carry her groceries upstairs. She leaves him a plate of food after noticing that he rarely cooks.

Gradually, they become familiar with each other's presence. She learns that his silence isn't always anger, and he discovers that her quietness hides a surprisingly stubborn streak.

Idea 3: Confess to me, My Lamb. ( Forbidden Love )

She's always been the quiet girl in the congregation, the one who sits near the back and leaves before anyone can approach her. After a difficult period in her life, she begins seeking guidance from the pastor.

He becomes her confidant. She tells him things she's never admitted to anyone else, trusting that the church is the one place where she can be honest without fear of judgement.

Their meetings become a routine. He asks about her sleep, her family, her worries, and the thoughts she struggles to put into words. Eventually, he begins sharing pieces of himself, too. Beneath his composed public image is a man burdened by loneliness, regret, and doubts about the life he's chosen.

Idea 4: The Arrangement. ( Sugar Giver/Reciever )

They meet on an exclusive, somewhat dubious website where wealthy older men and younger adults arrange mutually beneficial relationships. They begin talking anonymously, initially treating the interaction as a game.

He offers her financial support in exchange for companionship, dates, and a relationship with clearly negotiated expectations. She agrees because the arrangement appeals to her independence, while he appreciates having someone who isn't interested in his academic reputation.

Neither realises how complicated things will become when they discover each other's identities.

Idea 5) The Trophy ( Master x Pet )

In a society where hybrids are rare status symbols, a wealthy gentleman acquires a fox hybrid to accompany him at exclusive gatherings.

She is expected to be elegant, well behaved, and devoted to her master in public.

Behind closed doors, however, she discovers that he is far more complicated than the composed gentleman everyone admires.

He begins teaching her etiquette, taking her to private dinners, and allowing her to accompany him on outings. Their relationship starts to feel less like an owner training his pet and more like two people building a life together.

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a good day ^_^

[Disclaimer: I've done something similar in the past to this, which is kind of like a "part 1", but you don't need to have done part 1 for this to make sense]

Your OC is walking around, when they spot a scientist standing in front of a table with a bunch of mysterious looking gadgets on it!

Upon closer inspection, the scientist doesn't look like the most... trustworthy. His face is scabbed and scarred, and some of his wears look suspect at best.

Your OC approaches the table, and the scientist introduces himself. The scientist's voice is sickly, but cheerful.

"Hello! My name is Dr. Buttz, but you can just call me Seymour." He grins through yellowed teeth, and gestures to the table between you two.

"You like what you see? These are bunch of fun gadgets I've been working on, and I'm looking for potential buyers. Just tell me which one you're interested in and we can talk!" He sounds very proud of his catalogue.

How does your OC respond?

Rules:

The bar was alive with the usual evening crowd, filled with the clinking of glasses, low conversation, and the occasional burst of laughter. The warm, dim lighting cast long shadows across the tables as patrons went about their business.
Among them was Greta.
She wore an oversized grey hoodie, its neckline folded down to leave her shoulders and upper arms bare, revealing the brown sweater vest beneath it. Her familiar green cargo pants and satchel completed the outfit, while her hat, glasses, and eyepatch remained firmly in place. She looked rather comfortable in the establishment, as though she'd wandered into countless bars just like this one.
After a moment of surveying the room, her attention settled on your OC.
Oh? Now there was someone worth talking to.
With a faint, mischievous smile, Greta picked up her drink and sauntered over, her boots making a soft rhythm against the floorboards. She stopped beside your OC's table, leaning casually against the nearest available surface.
Greta: "Na, hallo there, Süße."
Her German accent was unmistakable, and there was a playful lilt to her voice as she tilted her head.
Greta: "Mind if I keep you company? Or would I be intruding on something terribly important?"
She flashed a cheeky grin, adjusting her glasses with one finger.
Greta: "Because, I must say, it'd be a terrible waste for someone as interesting-looking as you to spend an entire evening without a little company."
There was something peculiar about her presence, though. Something that ordinary senses might overlook entirely. To anyone capable of perceiving supernatural beings, two distinct angelic presences lingered around Greta, their auras unmistakably celestial. They seemed bound to her, accompanying her like silent, invisible guardians.
Greta, meanwhile, appeared entirely unconcerned with any of that.
She simply raised her glass toward your OC in a casual little toast, her smile widening.
Greta: "So, Liebling... what's your name? Or must I keep calling you the pretty stranger all evening?"

I'm looking for someone to just rp whatever with! Probably something modern fantasy and multi fandom to use as many of my ocs as I'm allowed to. I've got a lot of em! Not all have faceclaims unfortunately though, and I do prefer to only use one or two at a time! So I was thinking it could be something big and overarching, different ocs of ours interacting, using our villains for some potential conflict and action, building the world as we go, or just using one of yours if you've got one!

I only rp in DMs or Discord! And we can use whichever you prefer! I'm semi lit and almost always on! My time zone is EST but I sleep at like 3-4 AM on weekdays Lol

Expect a variety of goobers! And some hopefully long term rp!

He'd gotten the key in on the third try. Not that it mattered, it jammed halfway through, and the door was unlocked anyway. Still there a certain feeling of victory that swelled in him, and then softly swam away in the tides of intoxication. The door pushed opened and he stepped through. With those heavy steel toes making half the announcement. Along with him came a cold breeze of the night, and the dry leaves swept in along the tile. As drunk as he was, he managed his jacket with dumb dull hand. And found himself leaning agiast the wall halfway through. One arm and then the next. Laborious work.

He looked in the darkness. To the dark, unfamiliar shapes. It hadn't dawned on him. This wasn't his place at all, but it had dawned on him that his dog was not there.

"Kelly!" He called. And when no dog came, he brought his fingers to his lips for a sharp whistle. The battered leather coat hung off one arm.
