[i]How does our world work? Well, that's quite simple; to show you that, I'm going to need a world map.

Imagine your Earth. England, France, India, Argentina. Imagine it without borders––just the landmasses, the Horn of Africa, Vesuvius, the Barringer Crater, the Grand Canyon, the meadows of not-France, the deserts of not-Africa, the islands of not-Japan. Now, replace it with new borders and old, some of them where you might imagine them to be and others wider, more historical, more fantastical. Draw them in. Colour them in.

Now take a pair of scissors and cut them all up. 

No, no, that's too neat: rip up the edges, because the Cataclysm wasn't gentle. Blast them all apart, and scatter them all over the room. That's the state of our world right now. Each of our kingdoms which once traded with each other over sea and land routes can no longer do that, because at the edge of our borders, there is just a gaping chasm – a void. Dark magic fills this, and laps up at the edges and leaks through.

Kingdom by kingdom, what you would call 'the fairytale world' (but what we would call 'home') fell apart with us still surviving in the cracked pieces. Famine. War. Death. We continued until we could no longer assure our continued existence, and channelled the very powers that broke up our world in the first place to come to send our best somewhere new, somewhere safe.

That's how we ended up here. Earth. It has been five long years of eking out a living in the sleepy city of Seattle, adapting to a world with technologies that do what our magic could not. Sticking together, sticking close. Our lives are the stories parents tell their children to make them fall asleep. Perhaps, in the last five years, some of us fables have had children of our own.

But all of that is threatened. Seismic events. Long, human shadows that steal away the innocent that only we can fight. Magic is coming to Earth, as those with the ability to tap into it have noticed, and with it, it brings a second Cataclysm.

We cannot let it happen again.[/i]

Hello! And welcome to the OOC of [b]Written: A Fairytale RP[/b]. Following on from the likes of Once Upon A Time and, more importantly, The Wolf Among Us, we want to focus on a dark, corrupted fairytale world that might once have been as innocent as the stories... but it certainly isn't now. It is important to note that it is not just the main fairytales that are being allowed: we accept legends and folktales with characters, classic literature aimed at children (Peter Pan, Narnia, Alice in Wonderland and so forth).

While this RP starts on Earth, it will likely progress at some points – many points – into the shattered remains of the fairytale world(s). For this, we already have some teasers written up to showcase the various tribulations our characters will face in these lands that they might once have originated.

Right now, we're looking at a big group of players. There a few guidelines that I expect to be followed: 2 paragraphs per post minimum, with an expected, but not strictly enforced, 1 post required a week. Reservations for characters last 3 days, after the 3 day period is up, then it's whoever can churn it out first.

If you have any questions you have your GM Team on at various hours of the day. Either PM or Tag us here. We are as follows: [@HalfofLancelot], [@McHaggis], [@Roosan], and [@Undine]!

Let's make this RP the shit. But, most of all, have fun doing it! :)

[b][color=c2789b]Note:[/color][/b] Concerning characters, what we're looking for in this Roleplay aren't completely original characters. We want your adaptation of pre-existing characters with already established lore. So! Find an awesome character you like, whether they're super obscure or really popular, and adapt them to this RP. Make them your own, make them interesting, make them a whole character. Whether you subvert them, change their sex/gender, or parts of their lore, as long as the core concept, what makes the character who they are, stays the same. They have to be distinguishable: Robin Hood still has to be Robin Hood.

Examples of this can be seen in the previous 'iteration' of this roleplay: [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/92258-mystvale-a-modern-fairy-tale-rp/char][color=c2789b]Mystvale[/color][/url]
