[ Plot Ideas ]
Category: Open Roles

It is simple, but we can improvise things as we go along. I got these plots mostly from my mind and based on the ideas of other roleplays I never got to finish. Of course, I'm using Joe as my main character for any plot you choose. Most of them are romance-themed, and some are precisely straight or gay pairings. The ideas can be tweaked if you want to change something, but as long as I agree with the change, we do not have to follow them entirely. Remember, these are base ideas; we can have a little fun, mix one with the other, and be creative!

These ideas are old, I'll come up with better ones in the future.

----
Notes For any plots that are pre-developed (#2, #8, #16), I will want a descriptive bio of your character for future reference. I highly suggest you read Joe's as well in Google Docs. Yours does not have to be as long as mine, but it should at least cover the foundation and personal aspects of the character you plan to use.

Any plots that have been requested too often will be marked with an ✘. I may be up to doing them if an interesting twist is added or not at all.

Any marked with three asterisks *** I have more interest in.

***1. (Straight or gay) Joe and your character meet on a blind dating app and meet up in person. What will the two expect of each other in person after talking for a while, only knowing each other's first name, gender, age, and location as possibly only a few basic things about each other? Or maybe one of our characters was not what they had expected of the other? Disappointment?

***2. (Straight, may be up for a gay variant.) Your character only knew Joe as this guy in high school that she asked out to the prom. He was that introverted guitarist in the school band who got bullied often when he wasn't on stage for being a social outcast. You pitied him so much that you decided to give him a good night at prom just to cheer him up, maybe even try to develop a relationship with him if it worked out. But the guy never showed up on prom night as he said he would. He moved away the night before, so he never attended school the day before junior prom. You two meet up again over ten years later. No longer a shy sixteen-year-old teenager he is now a full-grown man in his early thirties. He is almost a different person- no longer the aspiring guitarist your character once knew. He was a rockstar leading his band, climbing the ladder to success, a man gaining his riches and struggling as a single dad for his 5-year-old son. Joe’s dark past, after he had exchanged schools, still haunts him, and he refuses to discuss it. Who your character developed into in that time gap is up to you.

***3. (Straight or gay) Our characters meet at a coffee shop as a random encounter with each other. Looking at each other, interest sparked. By beginning to communicate with each other, they have the potential to develop something between each other. Friendship, or maybe even a romance...

4. (Gay) Joe is at a precipice. He had just had enough of women. After dating women for so long, very few were severe, thoughtful relationships. Almost every single one ended in heartbreak, whether it be cheating, ditching, or getting replaced by another person they felt suited them more. With his experience, he felt women were too particular. He was that nice guy that often got taken advantage of and got his heart toyed with. He was not exactly a lucky one when it came to finding love. As a bisexual man who has a sexual and romantic preference for women over men, Joe did not think to give men another good shot. Joe lacks experience in homosexual relationships, and maybe, just maybe, your male character could be the one.

***5. (Straight) Joe is at a precipice. He had just had enough of women. After dating so many over the years, very few were severe, thoughtful relationships. Almost every single one ended in heartbreak, whether it be cheating, ditching, or getting replaced by another person they felt suited them more. With his experience, he felt women were too particular. He was that nice guy that often got taken advantage of and got his heart toyed with. As a bisexual man who has a sexual and romantic preference for females over males, Joe did not think to give men another good shot. Joe lacks experience in homosexual relationships, and maybe, just maybe, your female character could change his mind.

6. (Straight) Joe, like your character, was a struggling single parent trying to find a partner to lean on for parenting support and a romantic relationship. How they meet could be up to us! 


7. (Straight, may be open to a gay variant.) Your character is a raunchy streetwalker who stumbles across my character, who is desperate for a good time. While it did all begin with a one-night stand, maybe the two can feel more for each other than just lust.

8. (Straight) Our two characters had a brief dating past. Both were in emotional holes, they just needed someone to lean on temporarily and to make love with. It turns out, after they both separated, your character got pregnant from Joe and hid it from him for a (determinant) amount of time after you two split, until one day, she decided to meet up with him with the untold news. Drama is endorsed for this one because my character certainly will not be happy, even unhappier, if the reveal is not executed well.

9. (Straight or gay) Random encounter to start things off. From the mall to the beach, nearly anywhere can work out!

10. (Straight or gay) Our characters meet at a bar specifically for celebrities to freely enjoy themselves and things hit off from there. Of course, your character has to be a celebrity, whether they be real-life or fictitious.

11. (Straight or gay) Your character is a photographer, and it turns out they had gotten the opportunity to photograph my character (or him and his band) for a magazine of your choice. Maybe something can spark there?

12. (Gay) Finally, a new bodyguard. Joe could not stand his previous who he knew for months and thought he trusted as a friend until he involuntarily stepped out of the friendzone too many times to the point it caused my character discomfort. The bodyguard knew the relationship would make him lose his job, but could have cared less. Your character on the other hand, maybe there is something different about him and just maybe, a way to conceal their forbidden romance.

13. (Straight or gay) Your character is an actor in a movie. Joe did not star in it, but he had the golden opportunity to write its original soundtrack. While they did meet now and then at the studio (determinant), maybe one has feelings for the other or it goes both ways. Meeting each other at the Oscars may make it a different story. You can use a real-life or fictional actor.

***14. (Straight. well preferably) Your character is in a marriage/relationship and is having difficulty escaping. Their spouse/partner just is not what they used to be. When your character meets mine and gets to know him over time, just maybe they believe they deserve better and need to escape their marriage for their sake and be with someone they truly love.

15. (Straight or gay) Well, great. Joe's rhythm guitarist (Or bassist) quit. In search of a replacement, He comes across your character in any way we plan. Some people find it unprofessional to hook up with one of your bandmates, but why would Joe and your character listen to other people's opinions anyway?

16. (Straight or gay) Who knew? Years back, Joe was this guy in one of your previous bands ten years back (or a band you knew) that you had a massive crush on. Before you knew it, he moved on with his life and you wouldn't see him again for years to come. Joe was just a young gun back then, and you somehow encountered him yet again. Was it meant to happen? or just a coincidence?

17. (Straight or gay) Your character is the kindergarten teacher for Joe's son, Roman at a private school in Boston where the children of rich people attended. Your character formed an admiration with the boy and became one of, if not their top favorite student. Despite being shy and introverted, the boy was intelligent and only picked on for his speech impediment. or maybe the other kids were just jealous of him. Curious about who his parents are, he's only being raised by his father, who was single as a pringle. Possibly, your character forms a relationship with that single parent.

21. (Straight) Joe and your character had nothing special between each other. It all began as a one night stand at (determinant place). You two never planned on seeing each other again after that. While Joe himself disliked one-night stands, this was that particular occasion that he craved some way to kill his dry spell. A month after that steamy night, your character realized she was pregnant. And father could have been none other than Joe, thanks to that reckless night. Will the two ever reunite? If they do, will they fall in love along the way? Or will she abort?

***22. (Straight or gay) Your character is a person of color. Joe, being white, your family disapproves of your interracial romance. Will you submit to your family's wishes or shove them away for a shot at love?

***23. (Straight or gay) Joe was everything your character wished for in a partner. Honest, loyal, kind, and handsome. The only thing in the way was your job, of course, that was consuming a large amount of your free time. Joe’s life in his band split the gap further, but he loved it so much that he wouldn’t drop it for any relationship. But would your character abandon their job for this man, believing they will never find another like him?

24. Your character is the babysitter for Joe’s son. What’s the possibility of falling in love with the boy’s father?
