■ action-comedy • time loop • supernatural • fictional history nonsense
■ spy x assassin
▇ ▸inspo/vibes : spy x fam & happy death day & your romance sucks
- the world's at peace. an old spy on his death bed regrets a decision made lifetime ago and wishes he could go back in time to make a different choice, regardless of the outcome. whatever or whoever grants that wish before he takes his last breath.
- the year is 1968. cold war races on without a horizon at the end. it's also the very year it meets its abrupt demise when an assassination of a key individual is thwarted.
- spy jolts awake in his...where the fuck is he. or rather, when the fuck is he? the more he looks around, the more of the realization settles in; he's back in the dinky apartment he was stuck in for half a year before the operation he partook in finally bore fruit. on this very day.
- so why the fuck was he back in this place, as his thirty-something year old self??
- assassin goes through the same panic except he was sent out here to root out the rat dwelling in this area. so far, his suspicions all point to the next door neighbor, aka spy. but this particular day is also the day he is summoned with the rest of the organization for the "finale" at the charity ball this evening...
- if you haven't guessed, no, these idiots aren't part of that initial wish thing. those assholes are tryna cpr their dead romance to life again despite the consequences in the background.
- our idiots, on the other hand, are on a timer. with every death, the numbers on their wrist goes down. don't know what happens when it hits zero but it can't be good thing right LOL
- so, these two gotta work together (they can still have their own agendas running), help the couple-from-hell finally get their "love story" ending everyone can cringe at to get the fuck out of this time loop for good.
▇▸note : first of all this ain't gonna be like a strict historical rp. sorry to those folks who enjoy an accurate historical stuff
▇▸note : like the anime, it'll have that general 60's vibes
▇▸note : the supernatural part of things can just be the wish happening or go full out and gives the characters powers or something. spice things up iunno

■ ★immortal knight x spellblade
▇ ▸inspo/vibes : frieren & final fantasy & road to el dorado & feels good vibes
- demon king, dead. hero who slayed him, also dead. it's been a whole thirty years since all that went down. world's settled into a dull rhythm, if one can ignore the leftover squabbling between everyone.
- not a problem for the spellblade. he's had enough of being part of the unappreciated clean-up crew. some new hero wannabe would rise to deal with this. he gone.
- straight onto the road towards the demon king's castle bc he heard from a trustworthy source there's treasure hidden deep within the ruins which grants one unfathomable wealth.
- so he turned in his resignation and packed a bag and set out...just to run into a jackass(?) in a can.
- aka the immortal knight. how they first meet is up for debate.
- now who tf is he? some idiot who set out to slay the demon king dreaming of becoming the legendary hero but tripped and died the second he stepped out of this city.
- he somehow went to heaven and for the last thirty years, harassed the goddess to send him back down so he can least go touch the demon king's castle.
- so she did. revive him. as a living armor. immortal until his wish is fulfilled. which he grabs spellblade and drags him along bc more the merrier!
▇▸note : can more characters join in on the journey? hell yes
▇▸note : spellblade doesn't exactly have to be that. if you have some other character/profession in mind, go for it

■ mc professor x ★the guide
▇ ▸inspo/vibes : little witch academia & dumb shit
- every decade, a soul is born under certain star signs; the (f)mc. this particular magic school relies on that said person to enroll in their school and solve all their problems otherwise would cost them all of their funds and more to deal with.
- why and how this school is the only one with that knowledge and one-way ticket to deal with their shenanigans, who the fuck knows.
- this year, however, the fmc refused the offer all bc she just wanted to be a normal girl and attend college with her girlfriend and forever sweetheart. love beats(?) magic, y'all.
- the school board goes absolutely ballistic. bc of this "gift," over the years they've definitely indulged in the cheat code in avoiding consequences. like secret study of necromancy that left a horde of zombies locked under the school for the (f)mc to deal with, kind of indulgence. how this school is still going, it's a true mystery.
- but! there's a backup plan! the new, greenhorn professor they hired this year kinda matches the mc requirements star signs wise. so for the time being (aka attempting to get the fmc to enroll), he's gotta do. of course, the board informed him none of this.
- they did, however, throw the usual guide onto him; a familiar of the school's founder bound to stone until the day he's summoned to do...this. who knew tryna outrun death resulted in this hell-on-earth.
▇▸note : bring in every other magic school shenanigans except for hp. keep that bs far away from everything
▇▸note : the guide has like mulan's mushu vibes going LOL or maybe even toto from cat returns

▇ ▸inspo/vibes : knives out & scott pilgrim (movie) & rat race
- in breaking news, the richest woman alive dies and in her will she leaves everything to her friend and personal nurse.
- her family fking erupts into disagreement and nurse has to flee from the murderous children/grandchildren literally.
- one of the estranged grand who was left out of the will long ago tracks nurse down and offers help in return for his share of the inheritance.
- now they just gotta survive the onslaught of seven deadly members of the family out to murder.
- ripping off scott pilgrim vibes, there can exist a bunch of game references and items and shit they can utilize and find scattered through different locations LOL
- all the children/grands being someone famous can totally be a thing too HAHAH

■ contractor x partner
▇ ▸inspo/vibes : something is killing the children & nte & mononoke (2007) & mp100
- fear breathes life into so-labeled monsters devouring everyone around its creator.
- when having grown sufficiently strong enough, it consumes its creator inside out, freeing itself into the physical realm from the mindscape, becoming what many consider creatures that go bump in the night.
- one particular city is a breeding ground for such anomalies as it's built atop a gateway to "the other" that once existed, sealed away 200 years ago and buried beneath the concrete through the generations.
- of course, the same individuals came together to form an organization in order to deal with this catastrophe at hand, simply referring to themselves as the gatekeeper guild.
- their field agents are dubbed the contractors given they make pact with one of the creatures who no longer can be banished that become bound and sealed. contractors "borrow" the contract creature's power in hunting down the others.
- this also means a psychic link is established between the two parties. it is utmost important for contractors to visit in-house mind menders (akin to therapists) in order to keep the influence in check. at worst, the contractor can go under a complete mental breakdown or become "possessed". some even were known to side with the contract creatures.
- those creatures who are rather chatty serve as advisors but always take their words with a grain of salt; they do not exist to truly aid the contractors or the guild in its entirety. many still dream of escaping this place, after all.
- for a funny bit, they're all physically stuffed into golden jars on shelves, basically sitting in a giant room called the pickle room. some still possess serious beef with one another and it's hilarious how they spill secrets on how to defeat particular creatures all because of that history.- ok enough background. our contractor basically got duped by a "friend" into getting introduced to a job but instead got saddled with being a contractor. as contractors are legally bound in finding a replacement when wishing to leave the guild and well, anyone can be named.
- well, i mean, this is a job given it does pay its contractors quite handsomely. contractor, on the other hand, is on the fking fence.
- partner don't got much say in babysitting guiding the new contractor until he makes up his mind. so long to the good old soloing days.
▇▸note : do you wanna add yer own stuff into this? YEAH LET'S TALK
▇▸note : i def loved the urban legend episode in mp100 and wanna go for those vibes too
▇▸note : creatures don't have to be widely known whatever. we can make 'em up as we go! and the guild can certainly refer to them as pickles LOL

■ prince x bbg
▇ ▸inspo/vibes : galavant & shrek & ranking of kings & disgaea
- good old making the deal with the devil. a nobody-soon-to-be-king offered his first-born daughter to the coven practicing very evil darkest way (vedw) as they promised wealth and power to him in return.
- princess grows. she has the gift. as per law of the coven of vedw (where everyone is required to pursue a "creatively artistic" occupation), she becomes an interior designer. and my god, she is an absolute nightmare.
- the entire castle at one point is under her constant cruel criticisms and someone was reduced to ashes on the spot for dyeing the curtains royal blue instead of ford royal blue.
- hence the king locks her away in the highest tower of the castle, the most heavily guarded part throughout the entire place. her little corner to rule with terror. because of this, rumors spread the king simply adored his daughter waaaay too much.
- a particular bbg becomes convinced of the rumor. after some fumbling, one day, he successfully kidnaps the princess and well, things got very ugly, very quickly.
- the younger bro, the prince is sent out with specially trained knights in order to "rescue" his sister. however, the team is slaughtered during the journey as they had a run in with the coven of vedw since their youngest finally arrived at the moment of her ascension. no one can interfere. least the prince makes it barely alive.
- upon arrival, he quickly discovers everyone is trapped in the bbg's own castle, including the said bbg. all the castle residents just tryna survive the nightmare the princess unleashed for her poor, delicate senses were relentlessly assaulted by the castle's aesthetics. it all began at the guest room: "you cannot place a snow dragon's fur carpet with a unicorn head table and what is that wall - YOU ALL DISGUST ME!"
- between the deadly hide and seeks and other various dimensional warping, life-or-death "fun" games, the prince has to decide whether to kill his sister to spare everyone at the cost of everything or convince(?) and bring her back to the kingdom despite the risks.
- while everyone else is unanimously voting to kill her because jfc that ain't a person, y'all. no ordinary being knows the item's color by name and code by merely glancing at it.
▇▸note : please refer to galavant's song, "do the d'dew", and chester wormwood's wonderful quotes in this amazing show
▇▸note : survival game in nightmare fairy tale mode
▇▸note : the castle doors can lead to like some other place altogether. like they end up in a forest where the big bad wolf lives. it'd be fun if they also became some of the roles in these "fairy tales" LOL
▇▸note : fun trivia! many other evil organizations/covens/whathaveyou refer to the very evil darkest way (vedw) coven as the alphabet soup coven. this fuels members of vedw's hatred.
