So you've somehow ended up in each others' bodies. Whether by accident, by someone meddling, or because one of you planned this. What happens next? That's up to you (possibly with the help of the RNG) but some suggestions for theme and the relationship between the two of you (assuming you're not going with something pre-established) are below.
Theme
- Comedy - you are trying to be each other and convince the bystanders that nothing's wrong. But you're terrible at it.
- Drama - Things are going to go wrong because you're in the wrong body. Badly wrong. Possibly for one of you this is your design.
- Action - There are more problems than normal. Your centre of gravity is wrong. Your reach is wrong. Your stride is wrong. All your reflexes are wrong. You don't know how to
- Angst - this is seriously screwed up. You don't like the life you've each swapped into. The other person was concealing a lot wrong. And you're now facing it all.
- Kink - you're in each others' bodies. You've decided to have fun and see what things are like from the other side.
Relationship
- Strangers - You've never seen the body of the person you're in before in your life or if you have you barely know their name. If you're lucky you've a bank card or driving license of theirs so you know their name. If you're even luckier you can call your own phone and they will answer. Your lives are completely different, but each of you is stuck as the other. Now what?
- Enemies - You hate each other, or at least one of you does. Possibly they planned it to fuck up the other person's life. If not one of you is going to take advantage - and the other is going to try to stop them if they don't want to be ruined (socially or otherwise)
- Frienemies - What do you really think about each other? Is it hatred masked in civility? Is it UST? Is it simply that you enjoy feuding? Whatever it is you now have a chance to read the other person's diary and browser history, and gossip with their friends. Also a chance to either help them, set them up, or both.
- Friends - and you will get through this together. Of course you're going to know each other a whole lot better after this
- Family - Parent and child, Partners, or Siblings.Amazing how much even if you're that close you don't understand each other.
