( what you can never have )


When two people come together in a relationship, it's a beautiful thing. What can be wrong with love, right? Right? Except when the union is completely and totally wrong, for whatever reason. Then things can get a little messy.


How To Play



1. Comment with your character, listing their name, canon, etc, along with any preferences.
2. Comment around to others, using the RNG to determine the scenario. It doesn't have to be a lovey-dovey relationship, obviously. There can be hate, sorrow, lust, whatever.
3. Thread! Have fun! Do things!


Scenarios



1. Warring Factions: You belong to rival organizations, armies, clubs, etc. Whatever it is, you're not on the same team.


2. Soldiers on the Battlefield: Or maybe you are on the same side, but this is the wrong time and the wrong place. Plus, attachments cause distractions.


3. Bodyguard and the Guarded: Just like the movie with Kevin Costner! One of you has been hired to protect the other for some reason, and feelings are starting to grow. Are you a professional and cut things off, or do you give in?


4. Prince/ss and Knight: Similar to the above, but with a whole 'nother level of wrong...one of you is royal. Courtly love is okay; still, don't forget your place.


5. Enemies: This vendetta is personal, and you totally hate this person! Don't you? Perhaps you're maybe just rivals, or something as serious as superhero and villain.


6. Family: The ultimate taboo. This person is related to you, so there's no way you should indulge this desire, even if it's the most pure love there ever was.


7. Age Difference: The years between you should keep you both at bay, but it's easier said than done.


8. Teacher/Student: Teachers and students have a unique bond, and to corrupt it is a dangerous thing. Will you dare to act on emotions that could put you both in a destructive place?


9. Already Spoken For: One or both of you are already involved with someone else, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Just know that you can't have your cake and eat it, too.


10. Not Compatible: Your personalities or jobs make it so it's hard for you to be together.


11. Not Compatible...in Another Way: You're both different species, which means you're either afraid to take your relationship to a physical level or you can't because of differences in biologies.


12. Not Ready for Love: You took a vow (or celibacy, of chastity, of dedication), you're married to your work, or you just don't want to be involved with anyone. Too bad!


13. Rich and Poor: One of you has the money while the other is from more modest means. Can the 1% and the 99% ever be bedfellows, literally?


14. Hurt Before: Your heart has been broken, and maybe there's been no time to heal. But here you are.

[I'm very into 3, 4, 5, 9, and 13 as possibilities. Mixing and matching them up could also work very well. Absolutely able to AU, but Perne's more the noble type of character.]

[Ukiuvak is a member of a non-human Arctic-dwelling people who have a lot of prejudicial hang ups and a skewed view of humans. He himself is both a border guard and someone with a personal reason to be wary of humans, since his brother was murdered by one, but he's a sap who will absolutely adore, protect and love someone who's gotten past that initial wariness.]

[ I'm very canonblind to FFXIV events but previous RP has me familiar with the worldbuilding/setting, so I'd be happy to transplant Sunny into it? In his canon he used to be what is essentially the head of all his lord's warriors, and because his lord was both sadistic and insane, Sunny has a kill tally a mile long.

I'm thinking something along the lines of him having moved on from that to Perne's family (?) instead? Sunny also has an ability that either allows him to go ham on violence or heal himself/others, but he's super rusty with it and can only do minor healing at will for now. Personality-wise, he's incredibly loyal, and as of late has been becoming more "himself" instead of a mindless attack dog. He's sort of rough around the edges instead of charming, though.

Let me know if any of this interests you! ]

[I am likewise canonblind, so if that doesn't bother you, I am absolutely down for this.

There's some charm that comes with serrated edges, and Perne has an appreciation for the unique. (Why enjoy something that's commonplace when she can find value and benefit in things that aren't run-of-the-mill?)

Perne has a family that's largely militia-based, so I think Sunny would fit right in, actually. Maybe he's a higher ranking official over her brothers or something like that? I could see his background working out very well, even AU'd into FFXIV world.]

[personal profile] brighteners 2019-11-30 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh man, yeah! That definitely works! Sunny is, like, insanely good at what he does, and having come from a leader position previously, I'd say he has a fair amount of experience.

Also he's just happy not to be under someone absolutely off their rocker, frankly. LOL.

I actually think we can cover literally everything you listed except 5? And having read Perne's bio rn, it could be that he went with her to La Noscea, if you'd like? Honestly, with Sunny wanting more autonomy in his own life, I can see him inevitably wanting to support her being more ~free, somehow. (On another note, I really like the idea of her helping him learn how to read. v_v) ]

[Mainly novelverse but could probably pull off donghuaverse as well. I've only seen up to episode 15 of The Untamed but I might be able to manage LA up to that point. As far as characters go, I'm specifically jonesing for Wen Ning or Nie Huaisang to play against but I'm open to others as well! Canon divergence is totally fine but ask me first about modern AU, please. 9 is pretty much his default condition but I'd love to mix it up with other scenarios as well.]
