This Looking For RP topic is marked as closed, meaning it is no longer seeking new players.
Note: I say this only because I've had issues with it before. I understand it can take a while to read through this next section about what I'm looking for in a partner, and it's probably tempting to just skip to the interesting part. But please read it before you message me. I didn't write it to be difficult- I include this to make sure we get along well, rather than wasting both of our time planning a story only for it to fall through.
Note 2: I originally posted this in the adults-only section. However, since I have not yet had success finding a partner, I'm opening this up for this section. If you're 18 or older and are interested in a more mature RP, refer to this thread. Thanks!
About Me/Expectations:
As a disclaimer, this plot is based on book series. However, no knowledge of the source material is required, since all characters would be OCs. I'll provide any background information you need. Also, I feel that I should note that this is a 1x1 idea, and I'm only looking for one partner, or maybe two if you have a really good pitch. So, that out of the way, let's get started!
Ahem. So if I haven't scared you off yet, send me a message (that's more reliable than posting here) and I'd love to talk about it with you!

About Me/Expectations:
- As I mentioned in the introduction paragraph, my availability can be a bit spotty at times, depending on my health. Thus, I tell my partners that the best I can promise is a reply a week. If I can respond more frequently (and I often can), then I will. However, I make no guarantees.
- I usually write at least 3-5 paragraphs, and frequently more, and I'd love a partner who can match that, although I am flexible. But my absolute minimum is one paragraph per post.
- Grammar and proofreading. I understand making mistakes- I'll make some too. But if I have to constantly question what exactly you meant to say, I'm probably going to lose interest.
- I write multiple characters most of the time. Multiple mains, I mean, with side characters thrown in. I'd absolutely love it if my partner could do the same. Having more than one character makes the story feel richer for me.
- I strongly prefer mxf pairings. I can write fxf, if the story requires it, but that is highly unlikely in this idea. In addition, I highly prefer writing as female characters, although I do use males too, especially when I have multiple characters.

Bound by Circumstance
Every year, the vikings of Skandia hold the Brotherband competition. All the young men of Hallasholm, and the women who wish to follow the path of the shieldmaid, who have come of age gather for training. They are divided into groups, echoing the crews of the wolfships the Skandians traditionally sail. They spend the next few months training in all the skills they will need to be successful seamen- shiphandling, navigation, and of course weapon skills, to name a few. But it's also a competition, with the groups taking part in challenges and gaining points, trying to come out on top at the end of the program.
But this year's competition is a bit different. Because the program is also meant to teach leadership, skirls, or captains, are selected by the group of participants before the teams are chosen, and the captains choose their own teams. However, while there are supposed to be three teams, only two captains are nominated. Thus, it is decided to allow those two to choose their teams, and the remainder becomes the third group.
Predictably, the last group consists of Hallasholm's stragglers and social outcasts, who must now figure out how to band together and make this work. Because while there's great honor in being on the winning brotherband, being on the losing one is a reputation that will follow you for years to come.
So basically, we have a bunch of young vikings with some sort of issue that makes them stand out from the group, definitely the underdogs here, trying to overcome some serious odds and come out on top. And they'll be especially motivated since they're competing against the people who have been ostracizing them the whole time. So yeah, buckets of fun, huh? For this story we need at least 7-8 characters in the main group. However, not all of them have to take as active of a role. I will require that my partner be willing to write as at least 2 characters, although really 3 or 4 would be ideal. But as long as you write at least 2 I can fill in the rest.

No magic at all.
Iron age
Combat is expected as part of the storyline but it won't dominate the plot.
Details: Freeform, paragraphs required, long-term RP partner preferred.
