I too have been on a bit of a break due to the presure of university but now that I've finished my bachelors project I wanna get back into the swing of things with some writing :D
I'd be interested in either your Amortentia idea or your Captor idea. Probably more inspired by the Captor one, but school drama sounds nice for a change, I know it's a popular Rp scenario but I've actually never done it. I prefer my MC's to be women but if you feel it's necesary for the stories for them to be male I can definetly write that too :)
For Amortentia I would probably want to play a slightly cocky but good hearted character named Thea who doesn't quite get the burden placed on Lily because of her relatively carefree life. she is there to win due to her own competitive nature, not realising that it means more than just winning to others.
It would make sense after a bit of time to have a scene in which Thea realises what being the best means to Lily and then backs down, only to have a huge amount of pressure put on her by something, suddenly meaning that she has a deeper, more important reason to be number 1, probably something to do with her sister being allowed into the same academy, which would remove the sister from the terrible bullying environment of her current school. How does that sound?
For the Captive story I could see playing a guy named Nudge. He was raised in a monastary and was interested in the philosophy of theology, although young he learned a bit of the divine magic associated with the clergy. That was until his monastary was attacked and destroyed by a foreign army. Nudge escaped, although barely, and had to learn to survive on his own.
He eventually became a part of a group of bandits, having now lost faith and believing that it's every man for themself. He became adept at thievery and thuggery and put his past life as a "good religious boy" behind him, only ever bringing it up to make people laugh at the absurdity.
That is until one day his gangleader G'ret (pronounced Garret), a huge ogre with the strength to crush trees with his bare fists, set his sights on a monastary similar to Nudges abandoned home. Nudge formally asked G'ret to not destroy it, trying to convince his boss to fear divine punishment, but it was no use and Nudge wasn't about to leave the gang for something like this so he let it go.
The raid on the monastary was a total slaughter, and Nudge tried to push the feelings back, that is until he stood in the churchroom in front of the holy symbol of god, the room on fire, that it all came flooding back. He was paralyzed by his trauma and fell to his knees in apology. The smoke filled the room and his vision blurred.
That was when he saw a vision of a very specific sword cleaving through G'ret, and he felt as though he was finally redeemed in the eyes of the Lord. As he awoke he knew what he had to do, he had to find that sword and use it to bring G'ret to justice!
