after looking through your blog it seems to me that you are also not of this time... i dont know if you know this but a hand of Romans (including the Emperor Nero) have also been resurrected. if it's not just us... well it certainly paints a picture doesn't it (see what i did there?😸)

The peace of God be upon you, servus!
How interesting! I don't think I can be resurrected as I do not believe i have ever died. However I suppose it make some kind of sense that we are able to connect to a different earthly time from here.
Forgive me, let me go back. When I left time, it was early spring of 1300 anno domini. As I write this I am sitting about a quarter of the way down the great pit that is the bowels of the earth, orcus as you might call it, l'inferno as I know it. Hell is a place outside of time. My maestro @beeloverpoet can through some strange intuition of his own know the how the position of the stars in my own time have progressed, and so the passege of our time here is marked in that way.
As long as we remain in the place of the dead, time has no power over us. Virgil tells me that several hours have elapsed in the upper world since we descended here, and yet I do not hunger, do not thirst, and do not grow tired. I remain in the same state as I was when I began this journey. So I suppose it ought not seem incredible that my Tumblr posts, emerging from the either of Hell, have reached you in... when did you say you were? You must be in a time that is in my future, for i never learned of any tales of resurrection concerning the Emperor Nero.
The Hound steps into the room, tilting its helm as it leans against the wall. "So... you finally called." It unsheathes one of its knives and flips it idly, the smirk in its voice growing.
It's been a while since I've properly thrown myself into creating a new RP, but the worldbuilding brainrot has returned with a vengeance and I have four concepts currently fighting for dominance in my brain. So, naturally, I'm making it everyone else's problem... I'd love to know which of these you'd be most interested in joining!
Also, a little about me... I'm a massive worldbuilding nerd and particularly love creating lore, graphics, overarching plots, mysteries and quests/adventures that actually give characters things to DO alongside normal character interactions.
I'm open to running whichever concept wins on Tumblr or Discord!
I still absolutely adore Tumblr RP and its formatting/graphics/community culture, but I also feel like Discord lends itself really well to things like quests, party missions and smaller adventure groups. The only caveat is that... if we went down the Discord route, I would definitely be looking for a couple of mods/co-admins who actually understand the organisational/setup side of Discord roleplays, HAH!
Okay, poll now and then info below...
🐉 1. DRAGONS & RIDERS — HIGH FANTASY
A traditional dragon rider RP built around the bond between a dragon and the rider.
Dragons would come in different colours/types, with each colour associated with particular magical affinities. When a dragon chooses and bonds with their rider, that bond awakens powers within the human but the exact way those powers manifest would also be influenced by the rider's personality.
Think ancient bonds, dragon politics, magical abilities, dangerous quests, war, prophecy, exploration and stuff? Big threat which only a dragon's flame and a rider's magic can kill sorta vibe.
💎 2. THE DRAGON SHARDS — POST-DRAGON FANTASY
Once, dragons ruled the skies. Now they're all dead. What remains of them has crystallised into magical shards, scattered throughout the world and some very few humans are capable of bonding with them. (Most die trying!)
Each dragon colour was once associated with a particular divine patron, and their shards retain fragments of that connection. A gold dragon's shard, for example, might grant abilities associated with its god's domains like solar magic, light, stars etc.
Characters would bond with these remnants and slowly discover what they can do, while uncovering what actually happened to the dragons, their gods and the world they left behind. Essentially: dragon riders without living dragons, divine magic, ancient mysteries, exploration and pretty magical rocks with potentially horrifying consequences.
🌙 3. FAE COURTS — ROMANTIC HIGH FANTASY
An original fantasy setting inspired by the court structure and atmosphere of ACOTAR, rather than using its actual world/lore. Characters would belong to different Fae Courts, with their magic shaped by the court they're connected to.
So yep.... court politics! Alliances! Rivalries! Ancient grudges! Romance! Dangerous bargains! Beautiful immortal people making catastrophically poor decisions? This is it lads. The focus would be on court intrigue, relationships, magic, politics and larger plots threatening the balance between the courts.
🌌 4. MAGICAL SPACE OPERA — SCI-FANTASY
The wildcard.
Think Star Wars meets Dune meets Crescent City, except we're building our own ridiculous magical galaxy from scratch.
Different planets, cultures, factions and species connected through space travel, with enormous ships crossing the galaxy, but magic still exists.
Mages serve as powerful guardians/enforcers within this civilisation, and something is beginning to threaten the stability of the galaxy.
Space exploration. Magical combat. Political conspiracies. Strange planets. Ancient cosmic mysteries. Small crews getting sent on missions. Potentially enormous galaxy-wide story arcs.
Basically I want to put fantasy characters on spaceships and see what happens. Hey, we all love jedi and sith xoxo.
SO WHICH ONE WOULD YOU ACTUALLY JOIN?
🐉 Traditional Dragons & Riders
💎 Dragon Shards / Dead Dragons
🌙 Fae Courts
🌌 Magical Space Opera

🥩 🗡️ 23+ for 23+, all characters 25+, ocxoc, mxm, discord only. i need to sink my teeth into an emotionally complex dynamic between two types of muses outlined below, all occurring with the backdrop of a brutal medieval fantasy world. think people who both destroy and adore each other simultaneously. ambition mistaken for love; loyalty mistaken for purpose; and relationships built on power imbalances that neither party is capable of escaping, leading to years of orbiting each other despite every reason to walk away. please come with the ability and enthusiasm to plot, chatter, and headcanon about our muses and their interactions.
my muse: inspired by the wandering mercenary archetype, cis m, late 20s/early 30s. all muscle and scars, emotionally constipated to an embarrassing degree, raised to survive rather than live. violence is the language he speaks best, and he struggles to imagine himself as anything but a weapon. he's stubborn, blunt, and deeply uncomfortable with vulnerability even when it's dragged out of him kicking and screaming.
your muse: a beautiful, charismatic commander, cis m, in the same age range. someone adored by everyone around him, frighteningly intelligent and calculating, capable of inspiring absolute devotion without ever having to ask for it. a man with unstoppable ambition, questionable morals, and a kind of magnetism that convinces people to gladly ruin themselves for the privilege of standing at his side.
the above are rough guidelines, and of course we have free rein to develop our characters and their dynamic as we see fit. if any of this sounds appealing and you'd like to throw your thoughts at me, interact and i'll reach out!
