It is sought after by all, coveted by many, treasured by some and discarded by those that fail to understand it. But what does love truly mean? Is it saying I love you? Is it the giving of gifts? Is it a kiss in the rain? Or a comforting pat on the shoulder? [center][color=gold][i]Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It is not rude. It is not self seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protect, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.[/i][/color][/center] Words that may hold meaning for the hopeless romantic but may be meaningless to the jaded. In the modern world where money is spent with a click of a button and things are obtained with a snap of a finger, what is love? [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/gd3tJgK.png[/img][/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/ieybNIV.jpg[/img][/center] [i][color=Lightgreen]"Look at these humans, going on with their lives, taking everything for granted. It is such a shame to see them waste that opportunity to love and be truly loved,"[/color] Erissa sighed, leaning her heart shaped face onto her hand. [color=slategray]"What are you talking about, my dear Erissa? It is quite amusing to see them flounder and look for meaning in their mundane lives. Betrayal, jealousy. It's all so marvelously delicious. Why, look at these young humans,"[/color] the darker Cirrus pointed a crooked finger at a couple. [color=Slategray]"Pretending to be in love when there is barely anything there. Tomorrow will never be better."[/color] he cackled. [color=lightgreen]"It is a pity but there are some that make it through somehow. Love will always find a way,"[/color] a dreamy look settled over Erissa's face. Cirrus shook his head, an almost disgusted look on his face. [color=slategray]"Will it? Would you put your life on the line for that hopeless belief?"[/color] A brilliant smile pulled the edges of Erissa's lips up. [color=lightgreen]"Is that a wager I hear in your voice?"[/color] [color=slategray]"But of course. The winner shall receive eternal servitude of the loser."[/color] [color=lightgreen]"I believe we have ourselves a deal."[/color] [/i] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/gd3tJgK.png[/img][/center] [center][color=gold][H2][I]The Plot[/i][/h2][/color][/center] You will be playing a human in whatever walk of life you want your character to come from. He/she will, at the start of the story, be coerced into an arranged marriage. Feel free to narrate how your character found herself/himself in that situation. But before you find out who you'll be paired with, our naughty wagering fairies, Erissa and Cirrus, will meddle with your lives. They transport you characters into their magical world where you will be paired randomly with another character (no one knows if it's the same person you were gonna be paired with in the real world). The fairies will then put all characters through tests (in the form of games) to prove if love really can find a way to put together those that are meant to love each other. [center][color=gold][i][h2]Players[/h2][/i][/color][/center] [s]I will need 10 players (may increase the cap if there are a lot of interest): 5 male and 5 female characters. Each player may only play one character. I will update this list once I start approving character sheets. Opened up two more slots. Last male slot open. We are now officially full. I might open more slots later for interested players though. [color=gold]Reopened the application for the last male slot.[/color][/s] No longer accepting characters for now. Application may open again later on depending on how the story progresses. [hider=CS template] Name: Age: (20-30) Gender: Height: Weight: Status: (yup, you can have a bf/gf prior to the start of the events) Occupation: Appearance: (picture and a description please. You can choose to just put in the description if you prefer. You can also describe your character's clothing preference: do you like formal wear? Casual?)

Stating your interest does not automatically reserve a spot for you. I'll welcome you on board when I approve what you made. [center][color=gold][h2][i]Rules[/i][/h2][/color] [hider=Rules] 1. Follow the general rules of the forum. 2. GM's decisions are final. (Of course, you're all free to suggest and ask and critique, I will hear all of them.) 3. One character per player, please. 4. I'd like to see two or more paragraphs per post but I do get that sometimes you can only post so much. Please, please no one liners though. That would make me and most people lose interest. 5. Please do not create any trouble. If you find that you're at odds with someone (even me), please talk it out with the concerned party via PM. If you need help with dealing with someone, feel free to ask me for help. 6. Let's keep this wholesome, please. Holding hands and kissing is perfectly fine. Anything beyond it goes to PM. 7. The GM may opt to kick out unruly/rude players. Rest assured that if I am to kick someone out, I will inform said player before I do it. 8. If for some reason you need to be away for a while, please inform me so that I can pilot your character or write him her into the sidelines for the duration of your absence. 9. If you have lost interest and just want to quit, please inform me before you completely disappear. 10. Have fun. That's the main purpose of the game. :sun [/hider][/center] Still sure you want in? I just need to ask a little bit more from you. Will you show me a sample of how you write? (If you haven't already) Just a paragraph will do. Feel free to post it here or send to me through PM.
