My duty

[priderock]

the bodyguard shipping 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.

Comments

nazuna nito | ensemble stars! | ota

[pyonpyon]

( both canonmates and crosscanon adored! nazuna would more than likely want to be the guarder, potentially a little inexperienced? but he could definitely be indignantly guarded. )

Gavin Reed | Detroit: Become Human

[heyimtalkingtoyou]

((ooc: I'm not gonna lie, I want this violent child to be protected against his will. He's going to hate it, hate you, hate his life. That's all he can offer.))

Leo De Luca | OC | OTA

[lupo_mannaro]

[ The guarded, probably against his wishes but under his family's insistence. ]

Greyson Lorde | OC

[hellhunter]

[the guard (he's a demon hunter) with a high kill-count.]

[sweetiebaby]

[ She's hiding behind him... what happened to the doctor and the nurses? Why are they acting so strange? ] I'm scared...

Cindy | FFXV | f/m

[needsafavor]

[ Guarded! AUs are very welcome. ]

Alex Vause | Orange is the New Black | OTA

[vaused]

[ Preference for her being the one doing the guarding. F/F for shipping. Open to anything beyond that, really!
For the record, I'll be a little slow with tagging until Friday. ]

Dr. Angela ' Mercy' Ziegler | Overwatch | OTA 21+

[watching_over_you]

*Could be either role. More likely Guarded but will do her best to guard her guardian.*

Roland Crane, Ni no Kuni 2 (OTA Gen, M/F for shipping)

[theyseemeroland]

((Probably the bodyguard, though I could AU him as a young king or something if you want him to be the guarded (sorry, I don't have any icons of old!Roland yet, so that's why President Crane isn't an option). Available in two flavors, let me know which you want:

Canon flavor: 48-year-old man in a 20-year-old body. Better for older ladies if you want shipping.

Aged down flavor: I "age down" his mental age to match his physical age, so he's just a standard 20-year-old in terms of age. (Though he'll still be "wise beyond his years" because how do you play young people?) Better for ladies around the same age if you want shipping.))

[eloquentness]

[ ooc | If you're down for cross-canon, an AUed-into-NNK2 Iris can work with canon flavor! ]

[ The trouble with being a journalist: sometimes, you have sensitive information, and sometimes, that sensitive information means there's a bounty on your head from bandits and other sketchy characters in the underground. Iris really didn't want a bodyguard. She could handle herself just fine, she said. Her dad taught her how to fight, and as a Broadleaf native, she had a gun and armsband that could fight off even the strongest wyvern.

But both King Evan and President Vector had insisted, and so there she was... with Roland... heading back to Evermore after a press conference. She almost feels like a kid, even though she's far too old to feel so small. ]

Thanks for looking after me, [ she says, though she really doesn't feel it. She's giving this guy enough trouble as it is. ] But you know, the sooner I publish this, the sooner I'll be out of your hair entirely.

aranea highwind ( ffxv ) ota

[doityourself]

( she's a very trustworthy guard, i assure you. )

Esther Moreau | OC | OTA

[57times]

[ Either role could work, and while she's 18 now, I'm happy to age her up if needs be. Assumed CR is preferred but I'm open to first interactions as well! ]

billie lurk | dishonored

[faced]

[ most likely the guard, but we can work something out if you'd like your character to guard her! ota, assumed CR is lovely. ]

aoba seragaki | dmmd | m/m

[dramaticalblue]

[ definitely the guarded one. has weird mind powers that could necessitate a body guard... ]

[preloved]

[Soubi isn't quite like Aoba, exactly, but he does have a similar power - the ability to use words to attack others. It's less potent than Aoba, but Soubi still has complete and deliberate control of his ability.

Let alone the fact that if needed, Soubi could get into a brawl should their powers fail them.


Aoba just has to deal with the fact that Soubi insists on belonging to Aoba as property. He desperately wants to be liked, so even now he's cooking dinner for Aoba, despite the fact that he's undoubtedly been difficult. "Order me", "punish me", "I am here to serve you".]

It's ready.

[Ah well, at least he makes good mapo tofu.]

Bedivere | Fate/Grand Order | M/F

[holyswordarm]

[The guard.]

Remilia Scarlet (aged up) | Touhou Project | OTA

[scarlet_devil]

[ Guarded. The Scarlet Devil needs her Dog of the Devil. ]

noa ( wolf's rain ) ota

[littleflowerboy]

[ the guarded. ]

[princessofbeasts]

[She's a wolf in all but blood and body. But her mother and brothers were drawn to the flower, and San herself isn't completely unable to sense how important Noa is.

Her wolf family is pretty dutiful, but San has a heated passion that overshadows her complacent brothers' personalities.]

K | Blade Runner 2049 | OTA

[replicant]

[the guard!]

Addie Sands | OC | OTA

[addiesands]

[Guarded as she is a pop star. OTA for gen or shipping.]

Connor | Detroit: Become Human

[increaseinstability]

[ the bodyguard. ota castmates as well as cross-canon, since this will prob be a bit of an au regardless. my instinct is just gen/~forbidden friendship~ between him and whoever he’s been (literally) created to protect, but i'm not opposed to ship if it’s very slow burn & evolves naturally. would love to start earlier on with pre-deviant/machine Connor and evolve from there. ]

Sarah Walker | Chuck

[sarah_walker]

[the bodyguard]

yuuki kuran ( vampire knight )

[laving]

( can be either role. )

kiritsugu emiya ( fate/zero ) m/f

[problemagus]

( More likely the bodyguard, but I'd also be willing to play him as injured and a competent lady has to look after his dumb ass. )

lup ( the adventure zone ) ota

[kissmark]

[ she's an unkillable undead elf who's really good at fire magic, enjoys hustling suckers at pool, and moonlights as a grim reaper. yeah, she's probably the bodyguard. canon or cross-canon, aus, assumed cr etc! ]

Todoroki Shouto | BnHA

[tempcontrol]

(( m/m for shipping, ota for gen! can be the guarded or the guard! ))

Kurogane | Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle

[fatherdear]

[Probably the bodyguard and I don't mind playing the scenario gen!]
