Details to show growth in a relationship - Prompts

so you want to show that your characters got along together? Want to show people they've learnt to be together? Here some details that can help you with that, having a "before×after" situations to show relationships growing.

Situations prompts:

Asking for food. Before: character A is at the restaurant and the waiter comes. A calls B to ask B what does B want. After: A knows what B likes, and goes for it.

Characters in a small place, as in a small kitchen. Before: they collide, step on eachother's foot, are clumsy. May break something by letting something fall when the other bumps into them. After: they're in synch. It's like a dance. They don't collide, even though their bodies are constantly touching. They're always gentle, never bumping, and they feel were eachother is going.

Getting used to eachother's routine. Before: A keeps telling B what A has to do, warning B of his compromises. After: B remember A what A have to do.

Touching. Before: maybe there's no touching at all. If that is, it would be on the others shoulders. Always keeping a slightly distance from eachother. After: they move closer to eachother. Having their legs touching while sitting. Holding hands.

Hugging. Before: side hug. After: frontal hug.

Silence. Before: silence is terrifying. They get worried that said something wrong, that messed it up. After: they just enjoy it. The perfect moment for thinking in their lucky and how much they care for eachother.

Dialogue prompts:

"Keep fooling yourself, but you can't fool me. What's wrong?"

"You forgot the keys." "Yeah..." "That's why I always have mine with me."

"Are you sure you're okay to do this?"

"Can you do it?"

"Wait... Your late for your class! Run!"

"Hurry, I have to tell you something."

writing prompt #6

When the party began venturing down the trail to the vault, they were faced with blockages and doors that could only be unlocked through answering riddles, puzzles, and so on… with one problem: they came in different languages.

You were good with languages, though, and so they let you take the lead to bring everyone to the vault, helping to translate the puzzles for the whole party to try and solve.

Around the 45th door, though, they’re not sure what to be more amazed at: the ridiculous amount of doors protecting this one vault, or the sheer number of languages you know.

((This is a RP starter for a frostmaster/masterfrost/grandmaster/any other name I don’t know about for this amazing ship with Loki and Jeff Goldblum the Grandmaster. If you’re interested in RPing, please take a look at my blog description first, thanks!))

The first time Loki had found himself falling from the Bifrost through the universe, he had done so fully expecting to find death at the end of his fall. This time, after failing to plunge one of his daggers into Hela's side, only to be stabbed in return and then pushed right through the colourful, protective energy and into the cold of space, he felt a bit more certain of his continued survival, even if he still had no idea of where he would find himself. Even with the considerable magic Loki possessed, he had no way of using it to navigate. So once he finally hit ground hard, he did so half-conscious and in considerable pain, yet still gratefully gulping in large breaths of the foul-smelling air, because there had been none of it to be found in space. For a while he stayed down while he allowed some wounds to heal, and then at last started making his way through the junkyard, marvelling at his own lack of luck. Of all the places he could have ended up-- but at least it was better than in the hands of the Mad Titan.

And despite a brief scuffle with some low-life natives that he took care of with the help of his daggers and a few illusions, that thought remained true while he made his way into the thick of the city. It was not the first time Loki had found himself stranded in a new place, and he knew to blend in and observe rather than ask odd questions. He soon learned where he was, how things worked, and whom exactly he should aim to get on the good side of to find his way off the streets and straight to the top. The Grandmaster was a powerful creature, a hedonist with a penchant for cruel games and what definitely sounded like a case of some severe insanity. Still, Loki was confident enough in his abilities to think it was something he could work with.

On his fourth day on Sakaar, he made it into the Grandmaster's fortress dressed in the finest Sakaarian fashion in his favoured bright green, so he wouldn't look out of place among the other guests who had been invited to some feast of the Grandmaster's that had been arranged. There was a guest list, and he wasn't on it, but Loki figured he could find a way to add his name soon enough.

Tips to Roleplay

Where I put things that makes my games much funnier, working both for text and for table.

On character:

Have a strong emotional trigger that makes your character behave completely different. If your PC is a badass lord of the thieves, give him a trauma that's so deep that when is triggered makes him puke and pass out. Or make him be all lovely and funny but there's just that subject that makes him dark and agressive.

Make him obsessed with something. Try to pick a matter YOU like, or make a really good research. But make your PC be passionate about it. One kind of movie. Cars. A sport. Just make him be a fan and talk about it with all his heart.

Disagree. Now that's tricky, so be careful. When I say 'disagree', I don't mean "be your DM greatest nightmare". Please, don't. But if you can find a way to make your character HATE the choice the others made, but surrender to it or have another good reason to do it anyway, then go. It creates tension and conflict, and that's really cool sometimes.

HAVE A GOAL. You need to get your revenge. You need to be safe. You need to find your little brother. Have a dream, have a goal. "The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true."

Create a misbelief. This helps a lot with RP because it helps you to understand who you are and who your character is. Maybe you believe together we're stronger, but your character may believe that attaching to someone is a weakness.

Romance. Why not? Why not having your character falling for another? Having all those mixed feelings? Romance equals drama. And we all love it when it's drama.

Out of character:

Have fun! This is the golden rule. Don't take things too seriously. Relax. And make sure you're in a safe and cool environment.

Talk to others about their characters. Yes, we love our PCs as our babies and that's why you should talk to people about theirs. Let them be open to you and have that shining eyes. And usually this becomes something really cool 'cause you start to care for their characters and THEY starts to care for yours.

Talk to your DM. You want to develop your arc? Or maybe you just had this fantastic idea and want to live it! Ok, talk to your DM. He might accept your idea and create it with you in a much better way!

"Teach me everything."

"This is not working! We're not in harmony anymore." "What... What are you saying?" "That you should play B sharp."

"It's just a keyboard." "EXCUSE-ME!? IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PIANO!"

"Does it sounds better this way or... This way?" "Play it again." "Ok. This way. Or this way?" "That one."

"No no no. It's a vibratto. Don't crack your voice, come on."

"Nope. Way too high for me. I'll do second voice."

"STOP THE DRUMS! Gee! Gimme one second of silence, please. Thank you."

How to Create a RP Character

Do you love RP as much as I do? Or did you just find it out? Well, I hope this helps you! And for a reminder: those are not rules, just things that helps me a lot.

Fit your character to the universe. For real, I see many people creating characters that DON'T vibe with the plot. At all. It is a zombie apocalypse: don't go with a perfectly innocent girl who just wants to be a MasterChef and her life is pink-coloured. She has been changed since the apocalypse began. She is changing. Use it. Use the universe to enrich your character's dilemmas. Your character can believe the world is a good and beautiful place, and make her DEAL with the breaking of that belief.

Do your character have powers? Use them and let them influence your OC. Another one that's not too obvious. Many RP's about supernatural universes ask you to have a specie, have power. For what? If you're a werewolf, TRANSFORM into a werewolf, lose your temper, be afraid of hurting someone without meaning to. Make your power MAKE A DIFFERENCE on your characters journey, on its personality.

Try to previously bond with someone else. That's a cool one. Ask someone of they want to play a sibling of your OC, a parent, a kid, a friend. This is really nice to set and go from there, exploring their relationship later.

Give them ONE trauma. Yes. I know we are mean to our babies, we want them to suffer, but I never get it right when I do a multitraumatized character. A trauma lives a deep wound that if touched, it hurts. It's hard to do it with multiple traumas! You'll forget some. Give them one and clear trauma, no more. The story will probably traumatize them forever.

Give your character a distinct vision. Back to the zombie example. Everyone's goal will probably be "to survive and protect those I love". Yeah, this is a strong motivator! But by doing so, your OC won't be any different from anyone else. But what if your character's deepest vision is to be a parent? Think about it: the world is ending. Is there a future? Unknown. But your character wants a family so bad that while everyone is looking for surviving, they're looking for love, for family. Your OC will distinguish from everyone else because they want something further.
