Note:

I am doing this in a small group format in the Advanced section, if you're looking to that instead, please apply over there.

Important Notes:

I am seeking someone who will double with me, that means not to favor a role or gender, but to play them both fairly. The four roles and plot are outlined below but remember I am seeking a partner who can post three to four paragraphs per role which means I'm looking for at least six to eight paragraphs per post, because of the length I will not expect a post every day, or even every other day. I will try and post one to three times a week (usually on the weekends). It's rare I'll get you something during the week, but it can happen. Lastly, I'm looking for someone who can plot with me and suggest ideas and directions. I'm not here to GM a story, I'm here to tell it with someone.

Tone:

This will be a heavy duty slice of life adventure. This means to me, that there will be a huge focus on travel and doing side jobs for money and board. If you get bored by quest stories that are a slow burn, this won't be your kind of thing. This will also have romance if it develops down the line. This will also have some fun/cute moments but not without some serious issues we will need to develop. There will be danger and the stakes will be raised fairly high. I need you to understand this fantasy RP should be balanced in every aspect. There may be mild action scenes but for the most part, I expect a lot of development with detail, world building and discovery.

The Big Picture:

Our heroes have been traveling for a month together. They have seen humble villages that farm and bustling towns filled with polished stone and silver. They have helped an elderly couple mend their home after bandits have attacked, and the heroes have also saved two twins who wound up being the children of a powerful wizard who then bestowed upon the heroes, great items of wonder. The heroes have also endured days without food and nights without shelter from the rain. Throughout their triumphs and suffering, they have stayed together in order to do one thing, and that is to track down the Stone of Selection. In their world, Kings and Queens do not come from blood or birthright or decree, but are picked by a stone that has been with the world's history since creation.

The Stone of Selection is moved from shrine to shrine to ensure it travels the globe constantly, as it needs to feed off the aura of the people and animals living everywhere. The stone is found every fifteen years and new roles are given as it dictates who may be the best to rule the various kingdoms across the land. The heroes have been tasked with tracking down the Stone of Selection as the fifteenth year of ruling had just begun, giving them just under a year to find it and track down its new candidates for councils and throne rooms. The group is brought together from each of the kingdoms in order to bring knowledge and consideration as they traverse the world, following whispers and helping those in need. The stone is difficult to track as it cannot have a pattern or pre-set journey, as if it falls in the wrong hands, it could bring upon chaos, as opposed to righteous order.

These tired travelers are not without their own faults however, as when the sun fades and the moon shows its face, the four change from their normal selves, into different folks with their own goals and needs. This curse has been fallen select people across the world and its these people who are always tasked with the tracking down the stone to begin with, as their bodies and minds are working harder, not wasting a single minute of daylight nor nightlight. By now, our heroes are well aware of their companions' change but as the fifteenth year has begun, the world's cycle between day and night have now begun to behave erratically. A day could last for a mere hour while night could last weeks. Our heroes must hurry to find the stone while managing their own dual identities, hoping their quest can be finished in time.

Our Cast:

The Princess

- By day, she is a dutiful princess who carries herself and her responsibilities with pride. But by night she turns into a skilled assassin who makes money by taking on any job that falls into her lap. The princess isn't fond of her other identity but as it's becoming harder to manage, given the jittery day/night cycle, she's beginning to think it could help them make more money to fund their travels.

The Prince

- No relation to the princess, as he is from a different kingdom. By day, he is a friendly sort who is happy to help most people and see the world around him. Yet by night, he is a he is a wizard. Being that magic is uncommon and often met with fear or confusion, wizards and witches usually prowl around at night, this knight happy to let his magic out without judgement.

The Knight

- This knight is male, and comes from yet another different kingdom than the prince or princess. He is able to give wise consideration to the others in the group by day, but during the moon's view, he's a shapeshifter. He is able to turn into any animal, be it fable or real. His shapeshifting ability can get him into trouble but it can also lend itself well to scouting out landscapes and looking after the others come nightfall.

The Knight

- This knight is female and like the others, is from her own kingdom elsewhere. She is more skilled with hunting and gathering, while the other knight is knee to make plans and give history lessons. Yet by night, she like the other knight, is a shapeshifter.

Final Details:

Magic will only be used by the prince, as the princess is a killer in knives only.

If you're interested, you'll either be the male knight and princess OR the prince and the female knight.

I want us to make small sized character sheets with anime appearances for both day and night. I foresee the ages of our heroes to be in their mid to last twenties, possibly early thirties if you wish.

This won't take place in PMs or anywhere off-site. Should adult content ever happen, it goes to skype or PMs briefly.

Lastly, we will play minor NPCs so also be able to do so, this is an equal story.
