[sarabi]

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.

Adora | She-ra and the Princesses of Power | f/f

[sleepfight]

((definitely the protector. She has the advantage of being able to transform into an 8 foot tall warrior princess so that'll totally work in the favor of the protected!))

[enchantressofore]

[[ OoC: Hello! I was wondering if an OC would be all right? I have a few ideas if you want to use Etheria as a setting (though I'm open to other options if that doesn't work):

A.) Hermit!Princess has to be dragged kicking and screaming into joining the Rebellion, she's in hiding in the first place because she can't connect to her runestone for the life of her and has semi-frequent arguments over what the point even is when she's a failure at protecting her people (this also necessitates her needing protection on the way from Horde attacks or some particularly and understandably bitter bystanders). Probably an original runestone for hand-wavey reasons.

B.) Blacksmith just wants to make magic weapons and armor and master her craft in peace, can't do that because the Horde's on her doorstep seeking her talents (or to make sure she can't use them for the Rebellion) which means she has to go to Bright Moon with an escort if she doesn't want to be victimized by the Horde. There's gushing over the Sword of Power for reasons other than First One's Tech babbling.

C.) Horde already has the magic blacksmith who is effectively a prisoner of war (or even a recruit like Adora was) and has to be dragged kicking and screaming while being resistant to the idea that she was helping make things to hurt innocent people instead of defending people from evil chaotic dictator princesses. Good ol' deja vu, not likely but probably the most crack idea.

I don't mind if this is first meetings or assumed CR in that they've been on their way for a while. She can also either be slightly more human in appearance or not, depending on how we want this to go. ]]

margaery tyrell | game of thrones

[versigny]

[ probably the guarded; no preference between fluffy or angsty, but would like to build up to any smut! feel free to pm for plotting. c: ]

Bai Qian | Eternal Love | M/F for shipping, all welcome for OTA

[white_foxing]

[Either. Or both, she'd totally leave anyone 'troubling' her people bleeding out in a ditch somewhere.]

Arthur Morgan - Red Dead Redemption II - OTA20+

[unshakencowboah]

[The guard. Open to canon era or modern AU.]

Xiao Xingchen | The Untamed | M/M

[gentledawn]

[Likely the guard.]

the mandalorian ( star wars )

[vetina]

[ the guard. ]

[cairhien]

( they're stopped on their travels, having space and distance enough to be able to pause, make a temporary camp. she'd set a fire, made some tea, though left the food still packaged up, offering a cup out to him )

We still have some time.

( she could sense anyone else around them, hadn't had anything trigger her wards yet. and he should take advantage of the fact that moiraine was willing to stop and rest for a little bit )

Daenerys Targaryen | Game of Thrones

[erinnon]

{The guarded.}

sansa stark | asoiaf/got | ota

[eyried]

[ the guarded ]

Luisa Madrigal | Encanto | f/f

[pressurized]

Re: Luisa Madrigal | Encanto | f/f

[equite]

It’s not that Esmeralda dislikes Luisa. She doesn’t even know Luisa. What she hates is the situation. Protect the girl. Have a free pass in the city for herself and her friends.

Her smile is nothing more than polite, not warm, not particularly interested, but here she is anyway.

“So… what’s the plan for today?”

Amelia Atwater | OC | OTA

[good_at_heart]

[ooc: Guarded.]

natasha romanoff | mcu | ota

[brushpass]

(she makes for a great bodyguard! 25+)

Zack Fair || Final Fantasy VII

[heroproceeding]

( The bodyguard most likely. See here for preferences. )

Mordecai Heller ♣ Lackadaisy

[murderpie]

((He'll be your triggerman and you can be his long-lost pal... Or he can be the one being guarded if you prefer it that way.))

[mollified]

[ I'm canon-blind, but Bella's right at home in the kind of '20s/30s noir milieu it seems like Mordecai comes from. Maybe Mordecai could be on the job keeping Bella safe from a shitty former client? ]

tarzan | disney's tarzan

[tarzans]

[ want a very good wild man to lead you through the jungle or similarly perilous endeavor? could be the middle of metropolis too. ota. ]

Sylvanas Windrunner | Warcraft

[ladymoon]

[Most likely the guarded. I'm caught up on Shadowlands through 9.1, so not really concerned about spoilers. Can play Syl from basically any canon point. Open to cross-canon, canon, AUs, assumed CR. F/M is my preference, but I'm open to F/F, too.]

childe | genshin impact | ota

[toyseller]

( ordinarily the guard, but i’m also open to swapping things up )

malyen oretsev / shadow & bone

[trackable]

( always the guard but could be interesting if he was the guarded instead. ota! )

[solmate]

[ hello! i have two ideas and was wondering if you had a preference: 1. closer to canon/siege & storm era where maybe she's more serious about nikolai's proposal and mal is carrying on as her body guard or 2. au where she was discovered as a kid and now he is stationed at the little palace and they've been ~reunited~ (or i'm open to other ideas too!) ]

Sara Lance || DCTV

[saralancekicks]

[ probably guard but i'm open to both! open to all ]

Gabrielle || Xena: Warrior Princess

[potedeiabard]

[ Very likely to be guard. ]

Elisabeth | Elisabeth das Musical

[ichgehoremir]

[She's royalty two times over (having been noble/a princess before she became Empress), so probably the one being guarded.]

Mina Murray Harker | Dracula das Musical

[closetotheabyss]

[The one being guarded? Probably?

voicetesting.]

sara ryder | mass effect andromeda

[pathfounds]

( info; technically - sara wouldn't need a guard but being the human pathfinder (the one tasked with finding a new home for humanity in a brand new galaxy) so maybe she's assigned one? which she 100% doesn't want but she didn't want any of this lol. could also be a guard for someone. )

yennefer of vengerberg | the witcher (netflix)

[choicely]

[ compliant with season 2. could play the guard or the guarded. fluffy/angsty/smutty interactions welcome. ]

Elia Broch | Star Wars OC | OTA

[beautiful_paths]

[ooc: Guarded.]

Isa Trevyal | Star Wars OC | OTA

[like_ashadow]

[ooc: Guard.]
