A4A Looking for a Long-Term Transformers Bayverse RP Partner! (2007 AU, OC x Canon MxF)
Hey everyone! I'm looking for a long-term Transformers Bayverse RP partner, starting around the events of the 2007 movie, with plenty of room for AU developments, character-driven storytelling, action, and eventually romance.
I'm particularly interested in exploring what might have happened if the Autobots had found a trusted human ally before Sam Witwicky became involved in their lives.
The premise
Emily Bondevik is a Canadian equestrian who moved to America to expand her professional career. Having won Cavaliada at eighteen, she has an established reputation as a competitive rider and works as a high-level equestrian trainer. She continues running her equestrian center back home in Silverdale remotely while pursuing new opportunities in the United States.
Emily is also an alien herself.
Alongside her is Luna, an alien robot unicorn who disguises herself as an ordinary organic horse. Neither of them is exactly a stranger to the experience of hiding what they really are.
When Emily encounters the Autobots after their arrival on Earth, she decides to help them stay hidden from humanity and especially from a government that might see them as weapons rather than people.
With her resources, she is able to provide them with a private property and a spacious garage/workshop where they can transform freely, repair themselves, and have somewhere to call home without constantly worrying about human eyes watching them.
By the time Bumblebee brings Sam into the picture, the Autobots already have a trusted ally and a place of their own on Earth.
And when NEST eventually offers them a military hangar, Emily is not going to quietly hand her friends over to an organization that would monitor them, restrict their freedom, and expect them to operate under military authority. She intends to protect their independence for as long as she possibly can.
Of course, that decision could create plenty of conflict as the human military's involvement with the Autobots grows.
What I'd love to explore
- An alternate take on the 2007 movie and the events that follow, with changes developing naturally through RP.
- The Autobots adjusting to life on Earth, with Emily's property serving as their private sanctuary.
- The tension between the Autobots' need for human allies and the danger of becoming dependent on human institutions.
- Sam's involvement, if we decide we'd like to keep him in the story. Mikaela will not be included.
- The consequences of Emily and Luna being aliens themselves, particularly if their identities become known.
- Action, humor, hurt/comfort, found family, and darker storylines when appropriate.
- A chance to explore later movie events in an AU. Ironhide surviving Dark of the Moon is particularly important to me.
- Dino/Mirage being part of the team! I love his personality, his Italian accent, and the sheer absurdity of having a red Ferrari 458 Italia as an Autobot. I would love for him to become part of the ensemble rather than being left out.
Characters and romance
I'm looking for someone who enjoys writing canon characters and giving them room to develop. Since I'd love to explore an ensemble cast, I'm ideally looking for a partner who's comfortable writing multiple canon characters and letting them interact with both Emily and each other. Ironhide is a character I'd particularly love to explore, potentially as Emily's romantic interest, but I'm happy to let relationships develop naturally rather than rushing them.
Dino/Mirage is also very welcome as a major character. I'd love to see his humor and personality shine through, including him occasionally giving Emily a ride when Ironhide is occupied or when she simply wants to ride in a Ferrari.
I'm primarily looking for an OC x canon dynamic, with Emily as my main OC and a canon character as her romantic partner. Ironhide is my biggest preference, but I'd also LOVE to include Dino/Mirage romantically. Honestly, if you're open to writing a polyamorous relationship where Emily dates both Ironhide and Dino, you'd make my entire week. 😂 I'm particularly fond of the hinge dynamic, where Emily is the romantic connection between the two and they aren't romantically involved with each other and simply both date Emily at the same time.
I'm also open to discussing other pairings, additional romantic subplots, and doubling up if we can find a setup that works for both of us.
My RP preferences
- Long-term, collaborative storytelling rather than a short roleplay.
- Third-person, past-tense writing.
- Semi-lit to literate replies; I generally enjoy substantial responses that give the other writer something to work with.
- A mix of plot, character interactions, action, and romance.
- Canon characters should remain recognizable, even as the AU changes their circumstances.
- I'm happy to discuss darker themes beforehand, including boundaries and how intense we want certain scenes to become.
- All characters involved in romance must be adults. I prefer M/F pairings and do not write M/M or F/F romance.
Activity and communication
I'm ideally looking for a partner who can manage around 3-4 replies per week, with daily replies being wonderful when circumstances allow. I'm also happy with one or two replies a day when that's what works for both of us, and I'm understanding of occasional busy periods, real-life commitments, and timezone differences. Consistent communication is important to me, though, so I'd prefer someone whose usual activity level is reasonably close to this. If you're going to be busy or need a break, a quick heads-up is always appreciated!
OOC communication and general vibes
Fair warning: I talk A LOT. 😂 I'm the kind of RP partner who loves chatting OOC, sharing headcanons, rambling about our characters, throwing out plot ideas, and occasionally sending completely random nonsense. At least half of what I talk about tends to be Emily and Luna lore (another OC I'll happily introduce in dms), potential story developments, unfiltered thoughts, or me absolutely losing my mind over Ironhide. Sometimes all of the above at once.
You don't have to match my energy or respond to every thought I send! I just really enjoy having a partner who's happy to chat and get excited about the story with me, rather than only interacting when it's time to write a reply. I'd love for us to be able to brainstorm together, gush about the characters, and have fun building the RP outside of the actual scenes, too.
I'm not expecting anyone to follow a rigid script. I'd rather build the story together, discuss ideas, and let the characters influence where things go.
If this sounds interesting, feel free to comment or message me with the characters you enjoy writing, your preferred style, and any ideas you'd like to explore. I'd love to find someone who's excited to build a whole story together!
