[center][quote][h3]“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."[/h3] --- Friedrich Nietzsche[/quote] Background Story: [hider]We all remember reading bedtime stories about dragons and heroes overthrowing evildoers. We were always lead to believe that the they were nothing more than beasts and legends to remind children to never go out at night. We were always told that they could never truly exist in our world--a world without magic or dragons or princesses needing to be saved... [i]"Nana... why are the dragons always evil?" "That's because they always kidnap the princess, sweetheart. Why?" "Well... when I scraped my knee the other day, I started to cry and when my tears hit the scrape... The pain vanished and it was like I had never fell. DJ called me a big fat liar and told me that I was just imagining things." "Oh, sweet one, I had hoped you wouldn't have to find out like this--" "Find out what?"[/i] We were always told that there was nothing to truly fear in this world except fear itself. But what we didn't know was that we were told [i]wrong[/i]. [i]"My sweet one, I have another story to tell you, one that will tell you about the tale of why you can cry and heal yourself, but it is a sad tale, my dear..."[/i] Monsters are very real, my friend, and they live among us. They could be your neighbor or your best friend. Or maybe you could be one yourself...[/hider][/center] [hr] This is an RP where you can choose to be either a "monster" or a normal college student living in the city of Hallesdale--the city with the largest population of creatures from every other fairy tale or legend that you can imagine. The "monsters" are forced into hiding among normal people, trying to live somewhat normal lives. Every character is attending Halles College of Arts and Sciences. A small club (often referred to as a "cult" by outsiders) known as the "Night Garden" is notorious for being very picky about the students who are allowed to join. This club, if you haven't already guessed, only accepts those who are "extraordinary". As of late, the club has been threatened to be removed from the campus due to their behavior and are finally accepting a small amount of human students in order to appease the student council. [hr] [b]The Night Garden[/b] is a club that seems to hold events in the later hours of the afternoon and their club room is found in the basement of Quills and Quivers, a bookstore owned by the current president of the club, Afina Talon. Their events include physical activity (laser tag, late night capture-the-flag, etc.) and they also participate in much of the nightlife in Hallesdale. They have no specific things that they do, as they are a club that does everything that other clubs typically specialize in. [hr] Some of the roles are going to include: [hider]- President ---- Afina Talon (Mad Scarlet) - Vice President ---- (glitchykins) - Treasurer ---- Artemis Midstark (Teddiplier) - Secretary ---- Bryan Hadley (Mr Pink) - Club Rep ---- ______ (Levythelevy) - Club Rep ---- ______ (Open.)[/hider] [hr] [b]Announcements![/b] 11/20/15 [hider]I have set up a [url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GhVbZ6C9niSRuHSACQC8o3Kj17IOGz4Qy0PSmAY8Hgw/edit?usp=sharing]Google Doc[/url] with all of the current creatures in the RP!
