The old witch threw back the thick curtains of her bedroom windows; letting the early light soak in as the sun just began to peak out over the mountain ranges, paining the sky an obnoxiously dull shade of orange. Daylight was become more and more scarce as they entered the winter months. The early frost of this October had not made the grounds little winged friend very happy, especially after he had to thaw out his wings last week. The dawn cast an out of place glow on the stark woman, her skin barely more hued than the ivory chiffon robe she wore. The robe fit like a gown; the chiffon layered with a slip for modesty, secured at the waist with a jeweled brooch, and trimmed in perfectly white fox fur. The fur trim gave volume and shape to the large, draping sleeves and accentuated her neck and face as well as demonstrating her poise. Her white hair was pulled up and wrapped into a silk turban, in the same shade of ivory as her robe. Sharp brown eyes were dramatically winged and her makeup done in a style that was more suited for evening than the morning’s twilight.

In truth the woman looked out of place for the time she occupied. Yet it suited her so well. Afterall, Madeleine Whitmore was not known for having ordinary tastes.

With a soft tsk of her tongue, Madeleine turned to leave the room. As she exited, she grabbed a pair of white gloves to hide her withered hands which told her age more than anything else could. It was a matter of vanity on her part, but who could blame the witch for wanting to feel younger than the centuries she’d lived. Madeleine strode from the room, with the length of her robe and the swirling of the fur trim she looked almost as if she were gliding across the hall, with only the sound of her heels against the wood to say otherwise. Her image as she came down the stairs was like that of an old Hollywood starlet, an image she adored to garner.

β€œGood morning!” She announced hitting a hard β€˜g’ at the end; her voice carrying beyond the foyer. A little assurance that all her tenants would be waking up. Madeleine demanded requested, that all of the residence have one breakfast and one dinner with her each month. Often times she insisted on more simply for her own amusement but one of each was the minimum. This morning was, of course, the day she’d chosen for breakfast, fortunately she’d decided yesterday and gave everyone warning rather than abruptly announcing the meal as she was known to do.

Madeleine swept through the foyer and headed down one of the hallways towards the rooms of one of the tenants known to sleep rather late. Her gloved knuckles rapt against the door lightly before opening it without waiting for a response. Each of the tenants were given leave to decorate their rooms however made them comfortable, however this particular tenant had kept some of the original charm and luxury of Madeleine’s furniture choices. There were, sadly, too many pink tones for the witch’s taste but it suited the resident well.

She stepped into the dark room, the plush rug dulling the sound of her movements as she crossed over towards the bed. Pulling back the canopy surrounding the bed Madeleine found Eros sprawled out on his bed, a silk sheet tangled around his body and surrounded by enough pillows to bury himself in. Eros was by far Madeleine’s favorite tenant currently staying with her, perhaps even her favorite of those previous occupants as well. He was a colorful young man who was as dramatic and quick witted as Madeleine. Not to mention the similarity in their styles and love of luxury.

The incubus was quite beautiful, with his angelic looks, his pale gold hair spreading out like a halo. Even she was disoriented, for a moment, before the feeling faded with the recollection of why she was in the room to begin with. β€œEros, love, time to wake up,” She coaxed gently, nudging at his bare shoulder to try and rouse him. β€œIt’s time for breakfast,” She insisted as he began to make the sounds of stirring. β€œJoin us when you’re decent, Cherub.” The witch left the canopy and door open as she left the room to let in some light to help get the incubus up.

There was one other she needed to personally retrieve for breakfast, the little garden fairy of the manor; Peony. Normally Peony was a bit more difficult to track down as he would wake up as soon as dawn and began tending to the gardens but with the cold weather, he’d recently moved into the greenhouse for the season making it much easier to catch the little creature.

The air of the greenhouse was warm and heavy with the humidity needed for her more exotic plants. The usual flower bed that Peony liked to nestle into was empty so he was likely awake already. Dark eyes darted over nearby plants and pots where the playful thing might try to hide before she noticed a rustling deeper in the greenhouse. Towards the back where she kept her carnivorous plants, she began to hear the familiar ringing of Peony’s voice. Rushing forward a bit she found the fairy trying to detangle himself from a large purple flower whose petals were wrapped around the tiny body and tooth like thorns were attempting to still its prey. Quickly she reached out and plucked the bud from the tree, releasing the fairy into the palm of her hand.

β€œAh, well, it looks like the biting petunias have finally come in,” Madeleine said, a little breathless as she protectively lifted the disheveled fairy away from the carnivorous plant. The sound of loud, disharmonious bells drew her gaze down towards the little creature in her hand. Peony was glowing a bright red that set off his pink hair and was desperately trying to smooth his wings, complaining all the while about his ordeal. β€œYes, yes, I know you don’t like them but they are absolutely essential to my work and my stores were low.” The explanation seemed to do little to soothe the fairy who simply gestured at his torn shirt before crossing his arms and made a bell chime that Madeleine had come to know as a β€˜humph’.

β€œNow,” Peony immediately tensed his small body in her hand, knowing her tone of voice, β€œI know you’re a bit rattled. But, my darling little flower, you are an absolute mess.” The light around Peony flared red again as he chattered away with his bell tones before the color flattened out to a dusty pink. β€œWe’re supposed to be having breakfast together, so won’t you please go get dressed into something less… Chewed on?”

Peony pushed off from her hand, zipping around her head and complaining about something, probably having nearly been eaten but Madeleine waved her hand about, forcing the fairy to glide away some so his ringing wouldn’t be as deafening to her. β€œNow, you know the rules! Go get dressed, or I’ll let the petunias eat you next time,” The witch bluffed. Peony stuck out his tongue and zipped around her head once more before he flew off. β€œAnd I want you human sized! Last time we let you eat as a fairy you ate a single blueberry and slept through the whole meal!” She heard distant bells and guessed it meant he understood and agreed, but she wouldn’t know for sure until the fairy returned.

Returning to the house she heard a loud crashing sound coming from one of other hallways off of the foyer, turning down towards the noise she saw Sethlon and Alita hovering around a broken vase, β€œSethlon, my glorious, lumbering Heracles, was that calamitous noise your doing, by chance?” Looking at the broken item she clucked her tongue, β€œI will remind you that some of those vases are actually urns, and if you release a vengeful poltergeist, I will be relocating it to your bedroom.” With a disinterested voice she warned, moving back towards the kitchen only tossing a few words back as she left, β€œAnd Alita, dear, can you please save your crying for after breakfast?”

In the kitchen Madeleine gave a lazy wave of her hand, the fridge opening and ingredients flew out, getting themselves mixed and cooking the meal while the witch went to stand in front of the fancy and excessively complicated French (or was it Italian?) coffee machine. The woman debated whether or not she’d try to make a cup herself or just have Eros make one for her when he finally woke up. Of course, she wasn’t exactly the patient type. Unwilling to risk breaking the machine or wait Madeleine pulled out a champagne glass and waved for orange juice and bubbly. If it has orange juice that made it for breakfast, right? Right.

Drinking her mimosa, she watched as a sulking pink haired boy walked in, wearing clothes that clearly weren’t his. The fairy was wearing shorts that one could only barely see under the hem of the oversized t-shirt he had on. Making eye contact with Madeleine Peony’s hands began moving, signing out his words in a flurry. Since Peony wasn’t able to speak as human the witch had suggested sign language as a way to communicate with everyone. Without even really translating the movements she could tell what he was saying, β€œOH don’t be such a drama queen, flower. That’s for me and Eros to do.”

Qakinyrth’s full name is thus; Qakinyrth Vundryphoageokug Ayverth, He of Golden Scales, Knower of Old, and Keeper of the Relics, the Dragon of Bellamere.

Most species are unable to produce the guttural sounds and vocalizations required to properly pronounce the first part of his name, and as such he instructs the majority of individuals to refer to him as Quinn. He has made his home in Bellamere since before the town existed, residing in the underground caverns and hunting in the mountain ranges nearby. It was Qakinyrth who gave the place its name. Coming upon the age of three thousand Qakinyrth was calm enough not to chase away the settlers who came to make a home and instead became somewhat of a symbol and protector of the town they built.

After some time, and many misunderstandings between Qakinyrth and the townsfolk, the dragon began to allow the town to view and study parts of his hoard under the condition that the items not leave his cavern. The townsfolk discovered that among the seemingly endless amount of currency (the majority of it being coins, which dragons are most fond of, made of a variety of metals) he also possessed many weapons, pieces of art, and a plethora of scrolls and tomes collected over several ages. Qakinyrth’s was among the first (and one of the only) Western Dragon hoards allowed to be studied which gained the attention of many scholars who traveled the world for a chance to view even a small amount. It also attracted some thieves who were usually eaten without much ceremony by the dragon, occasionally he’d regurgitate the bones and post them as warning to others who thought to take what was his, ironically the regurgitation of partially digested victims attracted even more scholars who wanted to study the biology of a living dragon.

This allowance of study and viewing of the hoard led to the eventually construction of a library and museum above the primary entrance of Qakinyrth’s cavern. This allowed for the items to be taken out of the cavern itself without removing them from the possession of the dragon, which made them easier to study. The architecture of the building is large and with open spaces that allow the dragon to wander about the building should he ever desire, which he rarely does. The building itself was designed by a famous dwarven architect who based the design off of the ancient civilizations.

Qakinyrth is known to leave for long periods of time, either to hunt, or to travel. Often when he returns he has new items which are added to his collection. On one such occasion he returned with a baby. There was a long city council meeting over whether or not they could actually allow the dragon to keep a potentially stolen child but ultimately it was allowed. This allowance was partially due to the dragon’s assurance that the child was orphaned and partially because the dragon has large teeth and can breathe fire and the city council members did not wish to be barbeque.

β™š Qakinyrth is blind, his eyes began to fade over a century ago. He mostly uses his sense of smell and hearing to identify others.
β™š He's referred to as the owner of the Golden Scales Library of Relics, mainly due to the majority of its collection being a part of his hoard and it having been built above his cavern, however the building is legally owned by the city of Bellamere.
β™š The name "Quinn" came from one of the town's original settlers mispronouncing the dragon's name. Qakinyrth took pity and allowed him to continue to use it and now it has simply become a part of his identity.
β™š He is among the oldest of the dragons still living, to his knowledge only one other dragon is older than himself, a female Eastern Dragon.
β™š Alita was something Qakinyrth collected for her rarity and is actually a part of his hoard. Though most refer to her as his adopted daughter (and he often treats her as such) the dragon still ascertains that she is something belonging to him.
β™š Qakinyrth is at the end of his lifespan and will likely die in a few decades.

Imagine a world like our own; buildings and technology similar to that which we have today but inhabited by individuals both alike and unlike yourself.
A world of magic.

In this world beings go about there lives just as we do. They have jobs, school, family, and friends. Even with their differences and abilities they live lives like any other.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The premise of this RP is essentially this: "What if the world, exactly as it is, but magic?"
There was a lot of inspiration for this plot, some artwork I saw a year or so ago as well as the recent film by Pixar "Onward".

But mostly the inspiration was thoughts like:
What if witches ran pharmacies?
What if some rebelled by becoming chefs, opening restaurants, and creating recipes instead of potions?
What if the most popular pop singer was a siren/mermaid?
What if mermaids got around in special wheelchairs?
"What if magic?"

The actual plot is kinda non-existent as it's more a slice-of-life RP than a true fantasy RP. The fantasy aspect is really just in that the characters aren't human.
Mostly I just wanted a laid-back RP where we could explore the idea of what modern life with magic and as magical beings would be like.

If that sounds interesting to you than feel free to check out the characters or message me for more details.


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
As stated before the RP takes place in world like ours, just with magic. So modern technology, economic structure, and architecture just with magic/fantasy twists added. You're free to make shit up about the world, it's a sandbox situation at present. Also humans do exist, and they are the dominate species in this world.

The settings for the RP is a town called "Bellamere" which is what I like to consider as being smaller than a city but bigger than a normal town. Another aspect that allows for interpretation by writers.

The majority of the town's population is magical as it was founded by magic users but there are a couple of humans and their families.

The characters for this RP will reside at the Whitmore Boarding House, this is to encourage character interaction which will be the driving force in the RP.

1. Main rule for all my RP's don't be an asshole. I don't want to see racist or derogatory language used in OOC or IC. I'm not lenient on that. You'll get a warning, if it happens a second time I kick you from the RP and report you. End of story.
2. Don't GM, this is a character interaction based RP so sometimes it will be hard to do long posts if you're interacting with characters. I'd rather see short posts then get complaints about people GMing other characters. NPCs are a different story and can be used however you like unless stated otherwise by their creator.
3. Try not to copy other characters, if they're too similar without reason (i.e. based on lore or literature) I'll ask you to change it.
4. If a species/character says it's rare or uncommon don't try to create one of that race. Please.
5. Because this is a slice-of-life RP I don't place restrictions on character powers, if someone is complain that your character is OP please tell me and I'll talk to them.
6. If anyone is making you feel uncomfortable please message me so that I can address the situation, even if I've done something to make you uncomfortable I want to know so that I can apologize as that's never my intent. I don't want anyone to be unhappy or uncomfortable in my RP.
7. Lastly, it's quite possible that there will be mature-ish themes. No cyber or anything but everything else is kinda fair game in my opinion. If that's not something you're comfortable with then please don't bother joining.

If you have questions or concerns please message me and I'll do my best to answer/work things out.

Madeleine Whitmore is a very, very old resident of Bellamere. How old? No one is exactly sure, mostly because Madeleine is prone to lying about everything regardless of whether or not it is important. When she was younger, she gave varying answers to the question and now, in her old age, she will simply reply that it’s rude to ask a lady that type of question. Town records show she’s been around for over five human generations. The majority fo townsfolk simply refer to her as β€œthe Witch”, not to her face obviously but in private, calling her anything but β€œMadam Whitmore”, β€œMiss Whitmore”, etcetera is hazardous to one’s health.

The witch owns a large property in town, consisting of near thirty-five acres. How she obtained this property is debatable but she herself suggests she gave the eligible bachelor who previously owned it a love potion and simply waited around for him to die and bequeath his earthly possessions to her. No one is sure if that’s actually true however.

After having spent around seven decades on her own in the property Madeleine had the estate undergo a series of renovations before opening it up as a boarding home of sorts. The application process seems to be rather vague, mostly consisting of whether or not Madeleine thinks someone is interesting rather than if they’re appropriate tenants. The rules of the home are rather lax and all residents are essentially given free reign to do as they wish and set up wherever they like on the grounds. Even Madeleine’s β€œprivate” rooms aren’t off limits, she just warns them that if they turn into horrific abominations after poking around her things she won’t be blamed for it.

She and Qakinyrth are old friends and she has tea with him once a month, which is why she agreed to take in Alita as a ward of sorts.

Peony is a Garden Fairy that has claimed the grounds and gardens of Whitmore Boarding Home as his own. The old witch Madeleine was the one to find him over fifteen years ago and named him after the flower she found him sleeping in; a red peony. Madeleine is also the person Peony is bonded to. There isn’t much of a history to the fairy as they tend to settle into their homes early on in their lives and rarely leave their gardens for more than a few hours at a time.

The fairy is a common sight both on the grounds and inside the house and is familiar with every tenant, mostly because they can’t keep the pest out of their rooms, luckily he’s mostly harmless and will usually just leave fresh flowers to cheer people up but he does sometimes take small shiny things and hide them for fun.

He enjoys tagging along with everyone to the Sunday markets and making judgments about the produce grown without fairy magic (the judgments are usually negative).

Peony has been banned from the local coffee shop after an incident where he made the owner fall in love with a tea pot after they had insulted some of the honey which had been made with flowers Peony grew.

Hey I'm LIVE and I followed Morbid here from EliteSkills. And now I shall follow her example and do a little introduction.

I started Role Playing in my senior year of high school, I think, I have the memory of a goldfish so don't quote me on that timeline. At the time my girlfriend was on EliteSkills so she introduced me and since I enjoyed it I stuck around and made some friends, thought of some stories, all that jazz. Like Morbid I also love getting deep into the lore of a story and crafting something, sometimes I just come up with ideas and never see them to fruition.

I tend to come off as cold or bitchy or whatever when I don't know someone but I promise I'm not all that scary.

I prefer to do male characters as I am male and thus identify with my characters. I enjoy fantasy, sci-fi, supernatural (not the show but the genre), horror, and even slice-of-life role plays.
