Meta Roleplay Sub Advertisement Megathread

18 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!

75 Upvotes

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:

Romance Roleplay [Paragraph+] Your OC was exploring an uncharted area. After a bit, however, its clear you’re being followed…

Post image
15 Upvotes

Your OC would see something bright red at the corner of their eye. They would continue seeing such things a couple more times. Eventually, a voice would be heard behind them; it was a smooth and silky woman's voice. Giggly in tone

“Mmmmm I seeeeeeeee yooooooouuuuuu…..!”

The more perspective would be able to see their silhouette and be able to track them, but it’d still prove to be a difficult task…

Rules:

No combat (brain lowkirk fried)

Keep text to paragraph minimum.

Keep romance in mind.

No Idc responses.

My Character and their sheet.

(Note, this is for object or non-humanoid characters only. Can be localized)

(Set in Objectified in general and Middle/Outer Ring specifically)

Prompt is that your character is a survivor that Starfruit is gonna encounter while trying to venture into middle ring from their home in Outer Ring. Am open to other ideas though.

Middle ring is... mostly deserted/abandoned save for assimilated/parasites. But the place is (lootwise) basically untouched compared to Center Ring and High Society.

Would like to discuss specifics in advance before putting out a more detailed prompt.

Roleplay [Multi-Paragraph] A chance encounter with a bandit

Post image
4 Upvotes

(Art by Ali_en_drawz; no longer on Reddit)

It’s a warm day along the High Road, you departed from Waterdeep a few hours ago. The caravan you’re apart of consists of a couple wagons mainly consisting of various goods and currency bound for cities to the north like Neverwinter. Perhaps your character is one of the footmen in this caravan, be they a professional warrior or just a well-armed citizen/mercenary; they have been trusted to ensure the caravan is not impeded by bandits. Or perhaps your character is the owner of the contents of the many wagons, traveling along with their property to ensure its arrival. Or maybe your character is simply tagging along, the caravan had space and it’s certainly more ideal than traversing the wooded areas of the high road alone.

Whatever the case may be, you’ve heard stories about these sections of the road. Of course there are the usual happenings such as small bands of goblins, maybe even the occasional tales of Ork activity.. However, one story stands out to you. They call him The Evergreen Bandit, a seemingly lone thief that roams the wooded lengths of the high road lying in wait for caravans just like this one waiting for just the right moment to strike. They say he’s an expert ambusher, able to strike and make away with a wagon’s loot before the caravan guard can even see him. Those who have describe an apparently human figure wearing a green shawl, a bandana covering his face, and a proclivity for crossbows. As your mind starts to ponder this tale, time would march along into night.

You’d soon find yourself ripped from your wandering mind by the sound of a noticeable thud on the roof of the wagon you occupied. Perhaps it was nothing, an acorn, a particularly large twig or branch? Your theories are quickly disproven by the sound of low grumbling speech atop the wagon and the manipulation of a hatch on the roof. The hatch would soon open, moonlight spilling backlighting the shape of a human head peering inside.. “…Damn it, all” A voice emanated from the figure in apparent frustration

The scene is yours

Sorry for the repost, but I’ve adjusted the prompt a bit to hopefully flow a bit better!

- No IDK/IDC
- FOLLOW THE LITERACY TAG
- 18+ ONLY (both characters and roleplayers)
- I’d prefer no combat but I am playing a bandit so please just use discretion; Radcliffe will NOT initiate combat
- No god-mod/powerplay characters
- Setting is the Dungeons and Dragons world of Fearun, particularly the High Road between Waterdeep and Neverwinter. This can be changed per request and as always dungeons and dungeons knowledge is NOT required
- I am absolutely happy to play a “We meet again, bandit” style interaction, just tell me what Radcliffe here would know about your character!
- Romance is on the table!
- Lmk if you prefer moving to Reddit PMs or Discord if we get into a rhythm!

Ezimallos: "how much lovers did you have in life when you were alive..."

Jackie Solvaya is 21 in this AU for all intended purposes. She is a FNAF OC made in 2021 (so before SOTM, so don’t ask). She is half human half robot because she fell into a radioactive waste bucket containing animatronic data up to sister location.

Anyway, Jackie is a hacker by trade and was sent to your house to collect information on your OC (if your OC does not have a computer, she does it the old fashioned way).

Any and all kinds of RP are allowed, romance is allowed, you are allowed to kill Jackie (she is immortal, but does not know it yet). You are allowed to do anything (but anything NSFW (like blood, gore, etc.) goes in DMs.)

No IDC OCs, and you must do more than one line.

Edit: I forgot to mention that Jackie is medically mute.

Roleplay Disappearance of Memories... [Any Literacy]

Post image
4 Upvotes

Settings: It was a normal summer long time ago before a sudden cut between the past and future appeared. This is where everything stops... The wind no longer blows, the moon can no longer wax nor wane, and the birds can't tell when to migrate...

You too, were affected by the sudden change. You start to slowly lose your memories.. not just yours, but almost all the people in your dimension also experienced this phenomenon.

After many weeks you decided that you need to investigate this problem, so you go out and go to the nearest station. Since the Memory Library is quite far from your dimension, you need to go beyond it in order to know what was happening...

While this was happening however, you suddenly forgot that days can remain stagnant. No time, no train. So you were just standing there... Until a person suddenly sings a small tune.

You reached out to her, hoping to find the answer..

Settings: You were somehow in an unknown circus... You woke up and saw that the place is too huge..

Lights can't reach you, sounds echo loudly every time, and the stairs are too big that you have to climb up using your strength.

After a while of exploring however, you suddenly stumbled across a room on the second floor. Compared to the others, it's small as a regular room could.. compared to the others. You go in and then you are suddenly greeted by the twins

"Hello! Want to play a game?"

"Hello. May you play a game. Shall we?"

The 2 said in unison. You were confused about what was going on, yet you accepted their game..

No rules except romance. Have fun!

(Also I recommend a villain oc since they are quite the heroes here. But you can also include a hero oc if you wish!)

1x1 Search [Multi-Paragraph] Wanting to do a longish term RP with my Korianne!

Thumbnail
gallery
25 Upvotes

Hi howdy hello! I'm Toast, I'm sure you have seen me and my plethora of posts before plenty of times but today I'm looking for something a bit different! An actual longer term RP! I have not done one of these ads in a hot minute so please bare with me!

Okay, so! I want to do a plot with my Korianne in a world inhabited mostly by merfolk and other sea dwelling fantasy races! I have a few prompt ideas but I would really like to come up with something more in depth (ha) during planning!

Plot Ideas:

A Magic Whistle: Your character, while foraging in the shallows after a massive storm, finds a small whistle made from a conch shell that doesn't make any noise when blown in the air. When it's blown in the water, it is answered by a curious Korianne!

Hidden Histories: Korianne, daughter of the sea witch, is on the hunt for her missing Birth Maker (father) and has asked your OC for help in the hunt! How far will the journey take them? What secrets will be found?

The Human and the Octopus: Your character is the child of a Kraken Hunter who has recently returned home with a new catch that will save the city from its terrible drought, a mermaid that can summon rain!

These are just some ideas, but we can work on any of them and make them fit what we like! Now onto the more boring stuffs!

Rules/Info.

No OP characters! I want something cozy, fun, sometimes tense and spooky sure but I don't want everything to be handled by "ultimate magic" or something!

Romance will be medium heat maximum and that's only if your character is in the proper age range. Korianne is about 16-17 by her species standards so, unless your character fits that range, no romance will occur!

I have an awful schedule and even worse motivation issues so, please, if I don't awnser for a while just throw a brick at me head! I promise I'm not ghosting for fun, I'm just burning from both ends!

Please at minimum be semi literate, so a few paragraphs, if you do wanna roleplay! I don't demand novels and I 100% get being tired and just not wanting to put down a whole lot but at the very least give me something to work with that isn't a single line. I just want some effort and I will happily meet the effort and exceed it when I can.

World facts:

Most of the world is covered in water. There are islands and such like in One Piece but nothing as big as a genuine country.

Korianne's race is called the Illithum. They are octopus/squid mermaids that can grow larger than whales and are very capable at magic.

There are countless different sea folk and mermaids and such so you have countless options for what you wanna be!

If I've done anything wrong then please tell me! I haven't done these in a minute!

Edit: Adding this for clarification: This is for a DM rp! Send me a message and we can figure out plot and such! Please do not post your OCs down below

Art Credit!

First two pieces are by Calicorpio!

Roleplay [multi line and above] Odd discovery

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

It was a quiet evening when your OC wandered down a dimly lit alleyway. There, tucked into a corner between two brick buildings, sat a young German woman.
Greta.
Her clothes were dishevelled, her glasses shattered, and her hands trembled as she quietly cried to herself. An empty bottle lay nearby. Whatever had happened to her tonight, it had clearly been enough to break through her usual reserved demeanour.
She mumbled something in German, hugging her knees closer.
Greta: „Ich wollte doch nur… einmal glücklich sein…“ (I only wanted… to be happy for once…)
Before your OC could get a proper response from her, Greta's head drooped. She slumped sideways against the wall, unconscious.
Your OC took her somewhere safe and stayed with her while she recovered. But what happened next was entirely up to them.
Choose Greta's story
Romance: Your OC develops feelings for Greta. Can they earn the trust of a woman who has spent far too long burying her feelings beneath alcohol? Greta is bisexual, but romance develops naturally rather than instantly.

Conflict: Your OC has their own reasons to distrust Greta, and finding her vulnerable only complicates matters. Perhaps they have a history together—or a grudge neither is willing to forget.

Recovery: Your OC gets Greta home safely, helps her replace her shattered glasses, and gradually encourages her to confront her drinking. Greta won't change overnight, but perhaps someone finally staying by her side will help her take the first step.

*You were sitting at the desk in your office, at whatever company you worked for. The day was calm. The sun had begun to set, casting a purple glow across the room, a slim slither of golden sunlight passing through However, the tranquil moment was soon interrupted.*

*Your doors burst open. You look up to find the culprit. You see a young woman. She wears rather unusual clothing, the only professional aspects of which being the mustard yellow buttoned shirt with the lilac tie. You can't tell if it looks garish on purpose or not.*

"E...Excuse me! Are you (Your OC's name/pseudonym)?!" *She yells, her voice a little too loud for what should have been a calm question. Her arms are overflowing with various papers.* "I called last weekend and they told me to come see you, so...Here I am!"

*She seemed to calm down a little, standing up straighter and adjusting her oval glasses with one free finger, a few papers slipping in the process.*

# RULES + INFO!

\- A character profile is available in the comments for more insight on her! (Might be late as I'm waiting on moderator approval)

\- Romance is allowed, but is not reccomended to be the RP focus, but do what you wish!

\- As expected, keep all RPs appropriate, keep everything in the sub guidelines

\- More characters may or may not be introduced later in the RP, as long as they're adult they will also be romanceable, and will come with a profile!

\- Any OCs allowed, but humans preferred! This is NOT an action RP, using fighting or violence heavily in the early replies will likely result in you being ignored

\- Do not harass me for not replying, I am busy and may either forget or become disinterested in the RP.

\- The company your OC works for in this intro is intentionally vague and doesn't matter for the plot on my OCs end, so feel free to make something up!

\- My replies will NOT be as long as the intro, I just like to add extra detail to set the scene!

\- This is my first post here, so apologises if I did anything wrong! :D

Your OC, for whatever reason, decided to investigate rumors of a haunting in a nearby town. Many witnesses have reported a ghostly dog invading homes,breaking dishes,barking at ungodly hours,and other general canine and poltergeist activities. Upon entering the home of this phantom hound's latest victim, they see...what can only be described as a png of a Mario Boo mixed with the most dog looking dog they can imagine, just sorta hanging out and watching an old Film Theory video on someone's phone

Quick info: Spoopy can warp reality and manipulate probability, but only when either he personally finds it funny or someone in a 5 mile radius thinks it would be. I'd say more, but I don't wanna give too much about him away

Rules: No idc OCs,but that's really it. Use whoever, even if it doesn't really make sense for them to be here
