Indie rp account for Lionel Verney (based on the character from Mary Shelley’s The Last Man, with some story alterations. Companion blog to @fromgallowsandgraves - one of his possible fates.). 1700s verse, modern verse, high fantasy, future, sci-fi. TW in his default storyline for plague, and to a lesser extent, religious content.
Carrd
At one point late in the book, a depressed Adrian claims that he has often felt that a "holy visitant" has "taken up its abode within [him], or rather incorporated itself with [his] weaker being", then begs it not to desert him, so long as there's anyone left alive for him to help. Lionel writes that it appears as though the spirit responds to this plea and returns.
So anyway I always like to consider the idea of a semi-immortal Adrian, awakening long after the shipwreck as the water removes itself from his lungs. Because not everyone is dead, so he isn't allowed to die, either.
"I would have given worlds to have embraced him; I dared not—Half in exhaustion, half voluntarily, I threw myself at my length on the ground— dare I disclose the truth to the gentle offspring of solitude? I did so, that I might kiss the dear and sacred earth he trod." -- from Mary Shelley's The Last Man
[According to the text, a crowd is already staring at this point. Lionel Verney, you are not subtle.]

Like this post for a short starter.

Why not take a little trip to Lionel's island home? It's said to be a lovely place, after all. Scenic and full of old-fashioned charm, but with plenty to keep the mind busy; welcoming to scientists and philosophers alike. This is a perfect refuge if you need a little peace and tranquility, or maybe just a friendly spot to lay low for a while.
All right, so the rumors about what happened in the south are true. A growing cult has taken over the old fort, yes. Its leader keeps his followers in seclusion, though, and the few proselytizers he sends out tend to ignore visitors. It seems only islanders can catch the plague their so-called prophet offers protection from, so there's no point talking to outsiders about their plight.
Oh, don't worry. They just told you. They're confident it won't affect you!
To the north, as you may discover if you're perceptive, stealthy, or seem especially trustworthy, the island's leader plots alongside his mother and his dearest friend, seeking to rescue a cherished companion from the clutches of the fanatics.
But they may have an uphill battle against superstition. Every denizen of the island, even the trio of conspirators, insists upon one thing. They say that shortly after the advent of this highly fatal disease, a black sun, with billowing tendrils of shadow, rose from the earth. All that afternoon, the land was cast into darkness.
(No, friend. Some of them have seen a solar eclipse before. This wasn't what that was. The world-renowned astronomer who once inhabited the island's lone observatory would have told you the same thing.)
Many further claim that, only a few weeks ago, three false suns (no, they were meteors; they crashed into the purple sea –) briefly appeared alongside the true one.
Oh, but every place has its odd gossip, right?
Like for a very short starter? I probably will move Lionel to my other blog, but I'm too lazy to do it now.
Gonna go watch the strangeness that is Frankenstein: the Puppet Opera. Will be here for a little while if anyone wants to join.
May try this again tonight!
I felt, while I disdained, the choaking tears—I rushed into the depths of the forest. O death and change, rulers of our life, where are ye, that I may grapple with you!
Lionel Verney stop running off into the nature more or less trying to fight gods challenge
Since I'm trying to bring everyone back, and given that I have a verse where one ultimately becomes the other* should I have Lionel and Adam on the same blog?
No, keep them separate.
Yes, move Adam here for now.
Yes, move Lionel to fromgallowsandgraves
Yes. Make a new blog.

*Or the returning part of the soul is a lot of the basis, at least.
