  • F4M seeking story-driven RDR(2) RPs.


    Hello hello! Gubbins again back with more fandom requests because I just can't help myself. With the recently announced news of RDR FINALLY getting the remaster it deserves, I have once again become increasingly obsessed with the weird wild west setting that Rockstar has created with this amazing series.

    Be advised there will be spoilers for both games in this thread.

    So, first off, before we get to the plots, I have a few ground rules.

    I realize there is a huge cast with just the van der Linde gang alone, but I will not split the playing up of them by me playing all the women while you play the men. I find this to just be extremely insulting, first of all. Second of all, I know the men better than I do the women as, I don't know if it was bug or what, but none of the women ever had any side conversations, quests or scenes in my playthrough except for like, Abigail (and aside from one early mission with them in a cart but I was focused on other things). I honestly only remember Abigail, Grimshaw, and Molly. And Tilly faintly but sadly as interesting as she seemed, I only ever managed to get her to play dominos with me once, so there we are.

    This may sound silly, but I'd prefer if Sadie was just not in the RP. She reminds me of the main abuser of my life for 20+ years and thus she makes me extremely nervous.

    And finally, no matter what plot or pairing we do... I don't care what backflips we have to do, what hurdles we have to do. Kieran lives. I don't care if he's not important to our plot. I will not allow anything bad to happen to that boy in my writing. Or if something bad DOES happen... the scales balance and he will get a happy ending, come hell or high water.

    So, with all that out of the way, on to the plots!

    Now, I will admit that 99% of these are canon x oc, but I will note down when I'd be potentially interested in the plot being oc x oc. However, most of the time I'm going to prefer canon x oc, because I'm really really picky with other people's characters when I don't know them.

    The men I'm interested in are (in order): Kieran Duffy, Javier Escuella, Sean MacGuire, Arthur Morgan (and tangentially Albert Mason if it's an MMF thing), Charles Smith, and potentially post-RDR1-epilogue Jack Marston. So if I say the plot is appropriate for 'any', I mean any of those boys. Naturally, I'd be additionally interested in throuples/MMF with a mix of them as well.

    BYOP

    Spoiler

    BYOP - bring your own plot or let's brainstorm one!

    I'm primarily interested in playing character of high society, prostitutes, and single mothers, as well as witches and North American selkies if we want to lean into the 'weird'.

     

    A WELL-PAYING JOB - Any; may be willing to do OC x OC; pregnancy

    Spoiler

    The gist of the idea is: the gang gets wind of an extremely well-paying job, but the details are unclear. The one offering a ludicrous sum of money is a very wealthy Saint Denis lady. A bit of an eccentric, she is young and unwed but extremely savvy with her recently passed father's business ventures.

    She refuses to say what the details are until after she has interviewed the possibilities, but the job ends up being a rather simple one:

    she needs an heir.

    Now, mores and traditions of the time being what they are, she would normally have to get married to do this, but she has no desire to get married (or at least not to the simpletons and jackasses that make up Saint Denis nobility), so the idea is to get pregnant by someone she chooses, go into seclusion for the last half of her pregnancy, and then bring home a "distant relative's" baby that she is adopting because Reasons (TM).

    Of course, my ideal would be that whoever the man is that gets chosen has a surge of conscious and sticks around, but as always, a lot of this is up for discussion!

    And while probably only one man would be chosen, I'd love for her to interview a few of them before she makes her choice. So if you feel up to stretching your writing muscles as a few of these boys and the idea appeals, lemme know!

     

    HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING? - Javier Escuella; potentially sensitive topics (religion, race, etc..)

    Spoiler

    Javier strives to be a good Catholic, but he exists in a never-ending crisis of faith. That said, when he goes into town one day, he is struck by the sound of a small band and their lead singer, playing songs of faith that strike him to his core.

    But is it the content of the songs or the singer herself who have touched his soul? And if it is the latter, what are the two supposed to do with the mores of society, class, race, and faith between them?

     

    LOVE IMITATES ART v1.1 - Arthur Morgan and Javier Escuella; non-negotiable MMF

    Spoiler

    The camp needs money, so all sources are at least given consideration. Spying an opportunity, Arthur decides to adopt a pen name and publish some of his artistry!

    In a gentleman's magazine.

    He's drawing pin-ups.

    But Arthur prefers drawing from life. He absolutely can't stand the thought of anyone in camp knowing, so he hires a prostitute (MC) to pose for him. The idea is that scenes will be centered around them getting to know each other while he draws her in various poses, sometimes sweet, sometimes saucy, sometimes clothed, sometimes naked.

    Eventually the gentleman's magazine would send him an offer: draw us something really spicy and we'll pay more. Like... a lot more.

    Now Arthur is faced with a conundrum. A stranger is risky, but there's no attachment. But if he asks someone he knows, it's got to be someone he can trust, who will be discreet.

    Enter Javier Escuella to save the day!

    And things would continue on from there as we would want them to go, with definitely more than a few scenes dedicated to Arthur drawing Javier and MC getting up to posed shenanigans (which leads to actual shenanigans because MC isn't going to let Javier not get some actual fun, that'd be cruel).

    Where does it go from there? No idea!

     

    LOVE IMITATES ART v1.2 - Arthur Morgan

    Spoiler

    "Artist seeking men of ill repute to serve as models for a series of paintings.

    Willing to pay a large amount of cash for safety."

    Why the gang is willing to trust some posted advertisement that may be a trap... well, maybe it's just that the draw of a large amount of cash is too good to ignore. Whatever the reason, they soon find themselves with an arteest in their midst...

     

    I CAUGHT THE LAW - Any

    Spoiler

    Robbing coaches always seemed like just a day's work, up until another posse beats you to the mark. Losses can be cut - ah, but there's the cry of a young woman, and despite better judgment - and original plans - it's time to ride in and save the day. With the driver run off or dead, it's one's duty to ride the lady into the safety of town - and the truth that one is a brave lawman, as she so earnestly believes, is conveniently forgotten to be explained. And of course, fate conspires to have the lady and "the brave lawman" run into each other over and over. How does the truth eventually come out? And what will the dear young lady think?

     

    PROMISE UNRBOKEN - Jack Marston

    Spoiler

    While Jack had little stability as a child, there was one family that kept in touch with the Marstons even as they traveled with the gang. This family had a younger daughter that Jack would occasionally play with, and as these sorts of things are wont to happen, at some young age he promised that when they were grown, that he would marry her.

    Years passed, with no word from him, but eventually a 19 year old Jack shows up on their doorstep, ready to make good on his promise.

     

    I have more plots I'll post up soon, just have to write them out! Thank you for looking and have a lovely day/afternoon/night!
