-- πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ WELCOME TO THE FAMILY ----
Hi there! No idea if anyone would be interested, but I figured it couldn't hurt to toss out a line. It's simple concept: A fantasy setting where an orphan (or a few) is adopted into a family for one reason or another. There will be elements of slice of life, but along with some adventurous plot beats (maybe throw in a quest or two) to keep things interesting!
    πŸ„-- The themes follow comfort, fluff and can be as slow burn (or not) as you want! We can involve darker topics at your discretion, I only ask that they be reasonable and not too over the top. I'd like to ideally find some balance between calm moments and moments of action to drive a centralized plot (see the next section below).
    🧸-- I'm looking for child characters but optionally, I wouldn't mind swapping if that's what you prefer. I can play both parents or we each play a parent (with single parent or poly parents as options). You're welcome to bring as many kids as you feel you can handle. I've written small families, I've written big families. Give me what you got!
    πŸ“-- Parents can be of any gender and orientation. Kids can be of any gender and age. The plots below are exactly that: Just ideas that can act as baselines to evolve into something unique to our story. So if there's anything you'd like to add/change to them, feel free to bring them up in your intro message.

dCmwsEn.pngπŸ›‘οΈ The Knight
Single Father or MxF
====================
The Knight has lived a difficult life. Hailing from humble origins, it was a long and tedious climb just to be seen in the eyes of the nobility. Eventually, he came to become a member of a chivalrous Order, a cause of the King himself. And now fighting along side others like him, he stands as the is the last line of defense against those who would seek harm to the innocent. Yet, the Knight has seen many things -- He knows first hand the evil that exists within man and monster alike. Yet the heaviness of the world does not make him bitter. Far from it. Instead, his experience as a witness to suffering allows him to be open to the woes of others, even to one who may need him more than the King ever could.

1 -- Survivor's Guilt: The Knight is sent to a small outskirt town when news comes of an invading force wiping it out. In search of survivors, the party of knights uncover a child (or children) who were witnesses to the attack. However, the atrocities seen weighs too heavy and it takes time to reveal the depth of their pain. Until the King decides what's to be done next, the Knight offers the child a place in his home with his family.
2 -- Unlikely Guardian: The child has lived an equally difficult life. For the supposed "sins" of their parent(s), they find themselves ostracized and forced to fend for themselves. When the child is caught and threatened with arrest, the Knight steps in on their behalf.
3 -- Young Squire: A squire's knight dies and the child is given to the Knight as their new mentor.

✨ The Wizard
Single Father or MxM
==================
The Wizard is apart of an esteemed circle. Naturally gifted in magic, he dedicated most of his life to understanding more about his abilities. Through many studies and adventures, he’s now a Court Wizard and a Teacher to an academy of Gifted Mages, the is held as a renowned individual of high learning. Yet even with all of his achievements, he yearns for further fulfillment that can't be found in books and spells. The Wizard comes to a realization. He spent so much of his life chasing his studies that he had never took the time to indulge in his personal life. And now yearns for love, stability and for the opportunity to raise children in a way that he had never experienced.

1 -- An Unusual Child: An oddity is presented to the Circle. A child of peculiar origin (in appearance or abilities, or both) whose power has yet to be fully understood. Many view this child as an outcast or an experiment, but the Wizard comes to grow fond of them. While the academy decides what is the best course of action, it's decided that they will stay with the Wizard who has agreed to find ways to hone their abilities.
2 -- Debt Paid: An old friend of the Wizard has passed and has left behind a child with no other living relative. In favor to their friendship and taking pity on the orphan child, the Wizard takes them in.
3 -- The Apprentice One of the students at school for gifted mages is in need of tutorship and the Wizard is happy to oblige, especially considering their aptitude for magic. They may one day even surpass him.

ofRKFG2.pngThe Adventurer
Single Parent or NBxAny
====================
The Adventurer is a free spirit. Their origins is exactly that, stories that are behind them now. Their new philosophy is to look ahead and this mindset has kept them steady for as long as they can remember. Their life is nomadic, going place to place and seeing sights that few seldom get to witness in their lifetime. The wanderlust will never die, but the Adventurer finds their bones wearier than usual. A place to come home to is starting to sound more appealing and eventually, they enough earned to set up a small cottage to act as a respite from their travels now and then. But even then, it's still a rather lonely life. Maybe exciting and dangerous at times, but maybe someone to adventurer with is the next step.

1 -- Well Met: During one of their many adventurers, the Adventurer comes across a runaway child. For one reason or another, they cannot return home nor do they seem to have the desire to. So don't, the Adventurer reasons -- come with them and see the world. Who knows, the child might find what they're looking for out here.
2 -- Garden Thief: Someone is stealing the vegetables in their garden. The Adventurer stays awake one night to find the source of the thievery. Turns out, it's no forest beast but instead a small, starving child.
3 -- Unlikely Hero: The Adventurer finds themselves in a bit of a pickle. Stuck in a dungeon trap or lost in a winding wood, their aid comes in the form of an unlikely, tiny hero.

The Noble
Single Mother or FxF
====================
The Noble's life has been turned all around in an instant. After her husband's untimely death, she took the initiative to run his estate and worked hard to build up the budding business he had aspired so hard to bring to fruition. All while keeping her family together, who is still mourning his loss in their own ways. It isn't easy, in addition to noble duties, requests from the peasantry and of course, the favors requested by the elven Queen herself. But the Noble tries to keep her chin up. Even with such grief and disorder plaguing her life, she's rather fortunate. New love has found its ways to her, in more ways than she would have ever expected. And deep down she knows her husband would want her to have her happiness.

1 -- Aspiring Talent: The Noble holds a fondness for the arts in a very personal way. It's during one casual trip that they come across a child who shows exceptional talent yet their position does not allow them the opportunity to grow. Taking pity on them, the Noble offers to fund their endeavours and brings them to court to begin their training.
2 -- Unlikely Friend: The child befriends one of the Noble's children, which comes as a blessing in their moment of grief. Due to their closeness, the Noble begins to grow fond of them.
3 -- Shared Loss: The child is a noble who has now lost their own parent(s) suddenly. Moved by the plight, the Noble pleads to the Queen to allow her to take them under her care until something definite can be decided.

Unrest may be part of the setting, but any scenes that happen to involve combat may be summarized.

Some romance is possible, but the overall plot is more important.

GAAAAHHHH I LOVE THE KNIGHT SO MUCHHHHH INTERESTED!!!
Solei Safia (played by Kotomi657)

I'm only just getting back into writing, and this sounds interesting ! How would it work? I haven't had a rp played with a family setting in along time. Are you hoping the partner plays the child (one or several), and the story goes from there? I'm curious about the idea of my character being the parent also, Solei being a lone mother. I imagine it could be good for her!

Thanks for getting back.
Hi!
Im interested in this, but i only really like to play stories like this one with anthropomorphic animals on both sides of the relationship. Is that fine with you?

Hi, welcome back to writing! The ideas are very flexible.

You’re free to bring either child characters for the adoptee or any parental characters who are looking for a child (or children) to adopt. So if Solei is more of a parent role, then I can bring in a character to fit the child role. Hopefully that makes sense!
