In the small town of Arrow Oak, strange things are known to happen to the townsfolk’s children. Some are “blessed” or gifted with inhuman abilities or powers, other parents swear their child was swapped at birth and a “demon” left in their place, and some children just simply go “missing” altogether. Little do the humans know this is because of a fae portal right out in the woods that surrounds their town.

Our characters will be a group of friends who go on a camping trip together out in those very woods as a way to reconnect and stumble across this fae portal. Characters can be one of the blessed, a changeling, half fae, or just a regular human. My character’s name is Eris Cloverton, a 24 year old veterinarian assistant who is one of the blessed whose gift is that she can talk with animals. She has a sibling, who I will either write in as a NPC/side character but is also available to be played by someone else. 

Character roles I've thought about that are up for grabs
-Eris’s sibling 
[s]-Eris’s best friend[/s]

[s]All other roles are pretty much unlimited, they could be old friends, new friends, or plus ones of friends, they could be other family members, neighbors, coworkers, etc[/s]
[b][u]EDIT 11/21/2021[/u]- Now that the roleplay has begun, new roles will be more limited. Any new characters from this point on, until further notice, should be fully fae or the missing humans (those who went missing or were swapped out by changelings).[/b]

[b]Edit 11/24/21- Additonal lore about the Fae & Missing Humans[/b]
[hider= Fae and Missing Humans]
The Fae are magical beings that used to roam the earth freely many thousands of years ago until humans evolved and rose to be a significant power in the world. Now they live just outside of that world in The Glimmer, a magical world that exists beyond the span of human perception and is anchored to earth through portals. They must remain anchored because it is the earth that fuels their magic. The Fae themselves are mysterious and mischievous by nature and have quite a diverse society. Fae are naturally gifted with magic from birth, that when properly harnessed and encouraged can become quite powerful and that is basically always the case for fae who grow up around their own kind. Their society is governed by an all powerful council, each of the 12 members representing a different district and each district having its own portals to both Earth and to the central, 13th district where the council gathers for meetings. For a very long time after they had moved to the Glimmer, the rule when it came to humans was absolutely no interaction must be had. While that was the rule of the council and most were happy to comply, there were others who were not. There were those who sought vengeance or to get even with humans, and they developed shadow groups who started the practice of Changelings. Some would just outright steal human children. As human society expanded, and the available land on earth to roam without human interference was reduced, these shadow groups gained numbers and popularity. The council knew they had to intervene and find a solution that would please all of their people, and so they adopted the practices with more regulation and allowed for some human interaction on the condition their society be kept secret through magic. The stolen human children up until then were often just killed by their kidnappers but the council sought more humane treatment for them, coming up with a program where fae families could raise the human child and when the human was old enough and capable would be more of an indentured servant in terms of their status in society. It was mostly up to each family’s discretion so long as the child wasn’t physically harmed. Gifting humans with magic was initially started by human sympathizers and adopted as a practice to help keep their society a secret. Some of these human sympathizers would go on to even have children with humans, their half fae children being a subject of heavy debate among the fae and for the most part widely looked down upon.[/hider]
