Welcome to The Gray Garden, a world of beautiful meadows and forests, where angels and demons live peacefully with one another. However, it was not always as peaceful as it is now, in fact it was horrible. Hundreds of years ago, angels and demons fought against each other in a bloody war, with both sides receiving heavy casualties. This war lasted for many years, until the god, Etihw, and the devil, Kcalb, ended it all peacefully. A peace treaty was made and the war had ended, angels and demons had been at peace ever since.
Now it is time for the Gray Festival, a celebration made to commemorate the many years of peace The Gray Garden has seen. This celebration is also open to more than the denizens of The Gray Garden, Kcalb and Etihw have sent invitations to other worlds too, making the Gray Festival quite the event. However, this celebration may soon be ruined, for a name has begun to float through the air, a long forgotten name, a name that Kcalb had hoped to never hear uttered again.
Etihw: The god of The Gray Garden and a kind hearted woman. She is a bit on the lazy side, a result of the centuries of peace The Gray Garden has had since the war, and enjoys teasing Kcalb a lot. She is said to have been much colder and harsh during the war long ago.
Kcalb: The devil of The Gray Garden and a kind old man as some people refer to him as. He is a bit on the quiet side and extremely hates being called an old man, especially considering that Etihw is older than him. During the war, it is said he used to be a lot scarier and more cruel, but now he prefers the peace and quiet of the garden.
Ivlis: The devil of the World of the Sun and the leader of the Flame World, he is a cruel and twisted demon. He lead an attack on the Gray Garden in an attempt to steal Kcalb's power, but failed and was later captured and tortured by a devil from another world. He has three children: Vendetto, his oldest, Poemi, his middle child, And Licorice, his youngest.
Yosafire: A young fire demon girl from the Gray Garden who cares deeply for her friends. Along with her friends Froze, Macarona, and Rawberry, she helped stop the Flame World's invasion and even stood up to Ivlis and his top henchmen. She can be a bit of a klutz at times and once had an incredible fear of flying due to an accident, where she crashed and broke one of her horns.
Gray Village: A quiet little village that resides in the center of The Gray Garden. A large forest of apple trees resides to the east of the village, while a tranquil meadow of flowers resides to the west of the village. Blancblack Castle overlooks the village from the north, and a quiet and serene beach overlooking the Great Blue Sea resides to the south.
Blancblack Castle: A large castle that overlooks the Gray Village, it serves as the home of Etihw and Kcalb, the God and Devil of The Gray Garden. The castle holds an enormous library that contains most, if not all, of The Gray Garden's history and a quiet garden rests in the center of the castle. A pure white lake of crystals rests underneath the castle, though only a few select individuals know of this area.
Graveyard: An enormous graveyard of thousands of tombstones that is located on the far outskirts of Gray Village. It is here, that the thousands of casualties of both angels and demons from the great war are buried. Etihw and Kcalb are said to visit this graveyard more often then most, though they usually visit six specific tombstones.
The Great Blue Sea: A large body of water that serves as a divide between Gray Village and the rest of The Gray Garden world. Many islands dot the surface of the water and under the surface resides a large town of underwater familiars. Across the sea resides the Arctic, a freezing continent with very few habitable regions. The familiars here are a rough n' tumble sort, but most of them are relatively nice.
The Flame World: Thought to be a world all on its own, the Flame World is actually the Hell of another world, The World of the Sun. The Flame World, lead by the devil, Ivlis, once attacked The Gray Garden in the hopes of stealing Kcalb's power. The resulting conflict ended when Ivlis's powers were instead drained by Kcalb, and he was sent packing back to the Flame World by Etihw. With Ivlis out of the picture, The Flame World and The Gray Garden have become relatively peaceful towards each other, though any at all visitors from The Flame World are kept on constant surveillance.
Angel: The white winged, halo wearing residents of The Gray Garden and many other worlds. Long ago they waged a bloody war against their counterparts, the Demons, but now they live peacefully with one another. Angels are adept at using both weapons and magic, but can take a more supportive role of healing an ally's wounds.
Demon: The horned, bat winged residents of The Gray Garden and many other worlds. They waged a long bloody war with their counterparts, the Angels, before peace was finally made between the two sides. Much like angels, demons are capable of wielding both weapons and magic, but unlike angels, they take a more combative approach.
Witch/Wizard: Magic wielding creatures who hail from the Magic World. Most witches/wizards are independent, content to traveling across many worlds in nomadic fashion, while some answer directly to the Great Witch, delivering any at all information that may interest her. Witches/Wizards are capable of learning many forms of magic, though most tend to stick to only one type of magic.
Familiar: Bestial creatures who take humanoid form and can become giant versions of the animals they are based on. Familiars are usually employed by witches/wizards, whether as traveling companions or bodyguards, and can come from many different environments. Most are capable of using weapons, but when the going gets rough they can use more animalistic means of fighting.
Human: A normal race from a far off world with no notable features. Compared to most other races, humans can be jacks-of-all-trades, using many forms of weaponry and magic, though they can never truly master one form of combat. Humans may not be as fantastic as other races, but they are far more adaptable to any given situation.
Name: At least something that can be easily pronounced.
Age: Nothing too crazy.
Gender: Male, Female, or Neither?
Race: Angel, Demon, Familiar, Witch/Wizard, or Human?
Personality: At least a paragraph. How does your character act, feel, etc.
Appearance: What does your character look like? A picture with specific details or a paragraph will do.
Biography: At least 2 paragraphs. Where does your character come from, what do they want in life, etc.
Abilities/Weapons: What can your character do or any at all weapons they may have.

This is a thing. As I am back in relative control of my life, I have decided to start this little rp. I have been a fan of this series for a while, credit to Deep Sea Prisoner for making this and many other games. The Gray Garden is a fun game and I hope to make this a good rp based on it.
Just a note, a few things in The Gray Garden's lore are up to interpretation. So if you ask me any questions about the lore or anything else about The Gray Garden, I may or may not have answers for you, but I'll try to answer anything as best as I can. Also, Deep Sea Prisoner has a habit of slipping some... Let's just say gross humor... Into his games, so just be prepared for anything.
With that out of the way, I hope to see some interest in this rp, and for those who are interested, again, welcome to The Gray Garden.
