bakerstreet | Bodyguard

the bodyguard meme

You're a pop star, or a royal, or maybe even the last of your kind who will bring about the Earth's redemption. Whatever the case may be, you're in a position that may be a bit dicey if you attract the wrong kind of attention.

And you're a bodyguard, a soldier, a knight - a protector. Somehow, you've been roped into protecting this person. You'll be rewarded, of course. The work may be cut out for you, but just do your job, keep your head down, and it'll go smooth.

Except for when the two of you break the bounds of professionalism and feelings begin to flourish. Being in such close quarters may get you to see the other in a different light, and saving someone's life just may be the ultimate form of intimacy.

Could this be the real danger? To feel so strongly for the one you've sworn to protect...are you compromised?

How to Play

1. Comment with your character and preferences, being sure to put if you want to play the guard, the guarded, or either. Also, you may want to put if you prefer fluffy, angsty, or smutty interaction - or have no preference.
2. Comment to others.
3. There are no prompts, because there are so many potential options there could be a hundred. Feel free to play anything: the beginnings of the relationship, just meeting, getting used to each other/not getting along at first, the obligatory first time, a threat on the protected's life and how their protector responds, how the feelings between the two has changed the protection, etc. Your only limit is you.

[OTA, bodyguard.]

[Voice testing, definitely needs a bodyguard.]

[ota, the one being guarded.]

[ota, either.]

[Usually the guard but very open to being guarded.]

[Bare bones about her: sarcastic seer with a knack for finding trouble, or having trouble find her. More in-depth information about her is here. Can easily AU her into just about anywhere. The guarded, probably, although she'll guard her bodyguard, too. M/F for anything shippy.]

[ either. but possibly needs a bodyguard to protect other people from him. ]

(most likely the protected one. down for platonic or shipping. canon, crosscanon, AU, assumed cr, etc. are all welcomed.)

(most likely doing the guarding. down for platonic or shipping. canon, crosscanon, AU, assumed cr, etc. are all welcomed.)

(most likely the protected one, but tbh good luck convincing her of that. canon, crosscanon, AU, assumed cr, etc. are all welcomed.)

[Bodyguard, albeit not a very talkative one. ota for gen guarding. M/F for potential fluff type stuff. Not the easiest heart to reach, but it is still there..]

[ likely the bodyguard. ]

[Most likely the guarded, from assassins or monsters probably. But can certainly be the guard.]

[Either role, though she definitely doesn't need a bodyguard but you could pretend to be one for her idol career. Or this could be an AU where she's just an idol without the fighting skills, either way, 20+ OTA! Castmates (especially JINUS), crosscanon, crossmedium, assumed CR, AUs, OCs etc all always welcome!]

[ooc: probably the protected. Because the Asim fam need to chill on the assassination attempts and kidnapping and poisonings. This boy does not need more trauma to party away and ignore with his lack of coping skills!]

[i could be talked into either, but he definitely suits the guard role better!]

[Husk's probably the bodyguard, but if for some reason you want to guard Husk... he'd be confused but up for it.]

[ OTA, voicetesting, info in journal — a guard for sure! ]

[ definitely needs a bodyguard if going into dangerous combat-likely situations (especially if the enemy knows the classic wisdom of taking out the healer first), but he could also serve as medical or miscellaneous support for anyone who wants that sort of thing, and we can pretend that counts as a bodyguard! ]

[As a pop star, she would be the protected one!]

(ooc; probably guard, but open to guarded.)

[ info/perms in journal. available in re2r/re4r. ]

[ likely the guarded one but who am i to say we wouldn't be the one protecting? info/perms in journal. ]
