This RP is always open to new applicants!



You awaken at night to the creaking of crickets and the sob of an owl. The air is cool and calm on your cheek; it smells sweet like rotting leaves and copper. You and your new comrades are collected on a low, circular metal platform that is half-buried in the dirt and looks as if it's been there for centuries; there are markings etched into the surface, obscured by ancient moss and creeping ragged vines.

Above, a thick rustle of leaves and mossy branches obscures the sky, but you are not without light: a weathered old lantern hangs from a high bough of a tree, held up by a thin shimmering thread. The tree -- which rises old and twisted beside you, and whose dark gnarled branch supports the lantern that is your only light -- is ticking.


The Premise

This is a whimsical, hyper-fantasy, folklore-inspired roleplay about exploration, creativity and character development. Your character will begin without knowledge, without skills, without weapons, without supplies, and without any memory of how or when they arrived in the middle of a dense and unfamiliar forest. All they have are the clothes on their backs and her own wit. Your woefully unprepared character will be presented with the opportunity to interact with their weird new environment: only through these interactions -- and the resulting domino-effect of events -- will the true nature of the forest reveal itself.

Character Application


Name:

Age:

Appearance: (A description, a picture, or both.)

Occupation: (Shall be nonmagical and nonviolent in nature.)

Personality: (How your character perceives the world and other people.)

History: (Shall be in a time and place similar to the Middle Ages.)


Guidelines


  • This RP will be run in the exploratory style of action and response: when a character interacts with the environment or with NPCs in any way, something will occur in response. In order to move the story forward, each character must actively touch, taste, smell, look, listen, and speak.
  • Players should be prepared for their characters' failure. Decisions your character makes won't always turn out the way they expect. Characters will make mistakes, they will be ridiculed, and they will be maimed without warning.
  • If for any reason you'd like to reroll a new character, simply say so in the OOC. Your character will be removed IC in a satisfying fashion, and you will be free to create another to explore with.
  • Should you wish or need to permanently leave the RP for any reason, please let us know in the OOC. Your character will be removed IC.
  • Nothing is what it seems.
  • My PM box is always open. Don't hesitate to contact me should you have ideas, concerns, or suggestions.

So when you say no knowledge does that include knowledge before mysteriously showing up in the spooky scary woods? Like they have amnesia? Or do they remember everything besides being taken to the forest?

EDIT: Nevermind, I read something wrong.

Your character does not have amnesia in the usual sense: they remember absolutely everything about their lives except how they got here. As far as your character is concerned, they were going about a normal day when they saw a bright light, smelled chocolate, and suddenly woke up here. How much time has passed in-between, if any, is unclear.

Name: Anise Sinclair

Age: 16

Appearance:

Occupation: Princess

Personality: Living a sheltered life where everything is taken care of for you results in a fairly selfish attitude. Anise is a confident girl who believes that she can get whatever she wants so long as she asks for it. She is impatient. She loves stories and art. She is a proud girl with a know-it-all attitude. The only people allowed to tell her what to do in her mind are her father and her fiance. She can be headstrong from time to time, and will often take action without thinking it through. She is extraordinarily naive. Overall... she certainly is quite the princess.

History: Anise grew up without want or need for anything. Everything she asked for she received. Her whole life was perfect as far as she was concerned. She had a personal maid that did everything the told her to. She never learned what fear was. She never knew true hunger. She lived a carefree life in her Father's castle reading books and painting. Her only outside time was spent in the garden on the castle's grounds where she learned about the flowers there. Father had found the perfect prince for her to marry, Harrison Lyons. Never had she actually met the young man, but that didn't matter to her, after all Father knew best. The wedding was supposed to be soon, but now that is completely up in the air, after all she has been spirited away.

What if that was your first experience with the smell of chocolate? Hmmm? I don't see anything saying you know what it smells like wouldn't there be a "familiar" if there was? HMMMMMmmmMMMMmmMM?!?!!?!?! O.o

Haha, yes, an accurate observation! So I suppose to your character it'd simply be a curious, bittersweet scent. I might change it in the description.

Everyone doesn't necessarily have to come from completely different backgrounds. ;) In fact it might be interesting to see how two similar characters make different decisions.

Name: Hania Faye

Age: 12

Appearance: Hania stands roughly five foot tall and her auburn-brown hair falls just short of her shoulders. Her cheeks are rosy and host freckles which dart across the bridge of her nose. Her eyes are a gentle, warming hazelnut brown and her eyebrows are thin and well-kept, her eyelashes long and full, and her teeth are remarkably unsullied.

Her stature is thin, childish; though not robust, it’s certainly not frail either. Her skin is fair and radiates in good health. Her fingernails are trimmed somewhat orderly and are host to no grime. Her breasts are small, budding, implying several months time since menarche.

She wears a white nightgown and appears to have been brought in the middle of the night. The gown is modest and reaches down to maxi length. She wears no shoes and clings tightly to a small rabbit with small black buttons for eyes and cotton for flesh.

Around her neck is a rosary with, ironically, a rose attached to the center of it as if it were a piece of common jewelry. It’s shiny, though one would be a fool to believe it were worth any amount of coinage considering the strong smell of steel it gives off.

Occupation: Cleric

History & Personality: Hania is a rather excitable, mischievous youth even when she tries her best not to. She’s often the prioress’ first choice if there’s a menial chore to be done, since she’s so often in need of punishment. She doesn’t take it personally and has found a solace in putting her energy towards something productive as cleaning.

This same energy is the reason she knows so little in her academics. She’s practically unteachable when she’d rather be doing something else- which happens to be every time someone tries to tutor her. She can count on her fingers and write down a few words but beyond that she’s pretty much useless for anything intellectual.

She’s very difficult to put in a sour mood. The sisters find it disheartening sometimes how easily she takes their punishments. This stubbornness of hers makes her seem vacant or disconnected to what’s going on around her.

If there’s one thing though that is her weakness- it’s the dark.. and spiders. The sisters have been catching on to this and threatening to have her clean the ill-lit corners of the abbey to keep her from doing things she shouldn’t and so far, it’s worked pretty well.

As one would expect from a cleric, Hania is particularly pious and believes fully in her doctrines. She doesn’t take criticism well, since she has little to base an argument on; in fact, directly challenging her faith is one of the few things that will break her down.

Over time, Hania has seen her fair share of wounded warriors and the like taking asylum in the abbey’s arms. She’s never learned much about healing, other than extremely basic first-aid, though she seems to have been desensitized to the everyday gore of medieval life.
