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.

[Open to anything]

[Needs guarded.]

[ would definitely be guarded. fans can get crazy. also down for some yakuza shenanigans. ]

( is literally a body guard! Italian mafia based in Naples, also kind of has magic powers... no need to be canon savvy. can be the one escorting and protecting yours, or — Bruno needing heavier guarding due to some in-canon events which we can hash out in PM if you don't mind spoilers. AUing into his canon is totally great, or AUing Bruno's canon into something more general/urban fantasy is welcome.

assumed cr or first meetings fine, canon characters and OCs good, no medium preference. PM with questions or to discuss. )

[ uh he's a 15 year-old student. but he's also a jujutsu shaman! so he is probably the guard ...unless your character is stronger/more powerful and a scenario can be devised off of that, maybe. tbh more-so here for gen than shipping. pm if you want to talk world-fusing/situation-preference stuff before jumping in.

the easiest world-types to blend with are probably the ones with preexisting superpowers or something i.e.; mha, anything along the lines of marvel or dc verses, etc. ]

[ probably the one that needs to be guarded! ]

[Definitely the bodyguard! M/F preference for actual shipping, but forewarning that Ichiban is on the dense side. Willing to AU him into more fantasy-like/isekai-esque settings as his canon is already bizarre enough. Let me know if you don't want any spoilers as the game is still relevantly new.]

( likely the guarded, but ota! )

[ age flexible. interested specifically, actually, not in being the direct guard/protector but the person who helps said guard with their tech/supplementary needs -- so like the max to your terry, the q to your bond, that kind of thing. can be gen or shippy (m/m), but given it's kenma... shipping requires assumed cr of some kind (unless it's unrequited lol then have a ball i guess?) ]

( drow warlock that moved to the surface world and with a very emphatic send-off committee on his heels... 8) he's a warlock but definitely not omnipotent, and could use some brute strength at his side in terrain that he has only ever glimpsed or ascertained by maps... especially since that high-status life kind of has him...expecting the aid of a body guard, so he will likely hire one as soon as he's establishing himself as an up and coming " financial investor " (air quotes.) d&d familiarity optional; i can also very easily adapt to modern fantasy blend, very comfortable with that! action scenes and/or the stuff that happens after are loved. assumed cr or recently met welcome, canon characters and OCs loved, no medium preference. )

[ bodyguard. ]

[ probably guarded but i'm open to aus. cross-canon welcome]

[ ooc: definitely the guarded. an au would be cool or canon-verse is fine too. assumed cr is also great! ]

(Could be a bodyguard or the guarded)

[ the guarded ]

[ Soft boy to be guarded. ]

(Any Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts muses only please)

[ooc: Either role.]

[ooc: either role.]

[ooc: Most likely the guarded.]

[You've almost definitely hired the Bull's Chargers to have him guarding you.]

[He would definitely be the bodyguard.]

[Either role works.]

[ either, tbh ]

[Expect her to take a very active role either way.]

(Most likely to be the guard! As a ranking member of the military there's multiple ways he could have ended up as your escort; are you part of a merchant caravan, or a messenger with extremely sensitive information to deliver, or perhaps even royalty? Endless possibilities...different scenarios even beyond these are also welcome ofc. Fine with angling things in a gen angle as well as a shippy one; happy to AU Jade into your canon or vice-versa, first meetings or assumed cr equally fine!)
