( 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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

(ooc | A prince in a Queendom. He won't ascend to the throne, but it's expected he'll be married off for political power. 15-year-old early canon, but he can be aged up.

Possible options:

1 he's a prince, 'nough said 2 later in canon, his kingdom is invaded and taken over so he starts fighting to rescue it, thus making him a soldier 3 still going back to being a prince 4 prince works really well for this meme 5 Suikoden is full of grays so enemies are good, be it 100% bad guys or morally gray 6 maybe on this one; talk to me if you're interested 7 i love age difference so yessss 8 definitely down for this one 9 via being a prince 13 still a prince.

If you're interested in any others, they're not a no so let me know your idea, and I'll work on it with you. )

(ooc | Information, permissions, and warnings can be found here.

Possible options:

3 not officially a bodyguarded, and not the nice kind, but Ash will protect the weaker; 5 i'm interested in this one, but it'll be a bit more difficult since, if you're his enemy, you're probably a bad person, but definitely down to see if we can get it to work 7/8 i'm always down for age/power differences so yes, please 13 he's poor 14 liking people doesn't work out well for him. )

[ The biggest hurdle is usually grief over his deceased wife, and how moving on feels like betrayal. ]

[no 2 or 6; talk to me about 11. open to other scenarios too, happy to brainstorm!]

[ Aki is a boy undercover at an all-girls magic school for Backstory Reasons, which could easily lead into some awkward situation where he is crushing/being crushed on but he feels as if he can't act on that. also game for teacher/student, age difference (he is 16 - can age up to 18), rich/poor (he is secretly from a very influential family)! ]

[ AUs would be fine, otherwise probably some kind of "I am a murderer and the absolute worst trash because my actions hurt my family" situation, even if that is canonically complicated... ]

[ oh look, there's a Caleb above me as well-- however he's probably more put together then I am; I'm just voice-testing this beautiful broken guy so please be gentle ]

[ ooc; voice testing, mark spoilers, etc. ]
