Almost two decades have passed since the uneasy truce between the neighboring Courts of the Faerie Realm, the Seelie and Unseelie, reached its unfortunate demise. The pact of peace and non-violence between the Courts, which had somehow lasted for a good few centuries, was ended when the Unseelie King and his lackies snatched the Seelie Princess from her cot to replace the daughter he had exiled some months before. However, the King did not succeed in his plans and ended up losing the newborn babe to the mortal realm, far beyond his reach at the time. The young Princess was not seen again and things have been hostile between the Courts ever since, with the Unseelie Fae making several desperate attempts to gain control of the Seelie Queen's throne; even going so far as to ally themselves with Demonkind.

It is the year 2017, and in the otherwise quaint little town of Parkwood, strange things are beginning to happen. For some unknown reason, a small handful of mortals are beginning to develop abilities of the magical and supernatural kind. Seeing this, both sides of the Faerie War have taken a particular interest recruiting and training them to be used as weapons against one another.

However, these are not the only bizarre goings-on in Parkwood. Surrounding the town, located deep within the forests, are the portals to every known realm in existence. Some have been intentionally sealed, for the wretched creatures within would place the mortal population of Parkwood in grave danger if allowed to spill out into the world as they please. But lately, such portals have begun to open again, one by one. Luckily for the humans, the creatures within have not yet seemed to notice, but they will in due time...

P A R K W O O D--||--This quaint human town is said to be the only location in existence where the portals to every known realm meet in one place, making it something of a hotspot for supernatural activity, although the mortals suspect nothing yet. Despite it being a rather large town, it is in fact in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by mountains and forests, so it's the sort of place where everyone knows everyone. Parkwood is near enough like any normal town in appearance. Its only notable location in this story would be the Hotel. To the untrained eye, it is seemingly just an old, abandoned building at the very outskirts of the town, hidden deep within the Forests. Little does anyone know, it's actually a Sanctuary for the magically inclined; a safe space where its residents are free from the laws of any realm. It's typically where you'll find criminals and those wishing to just... disappear.


F A E R YxxR E A L M--||--Home of the Seelie and Unseelie Courts, among many others, and even the Elven Kingdom. The land of the Fae is as beautiful as it is mysterious and deadly for those unfamiliar with it; consisting of varied landscapes from thick woodlands, mountains, and oceans, to barren wastelands that seem to stretch on for an eternity. Land is typically divided among the Courts, with the unclaimed land housing the solitary/wild fae. Its inhabitants come in all shapes and sizes, and none are inherently "good." The Fae are a tricky sort, so it's best to keep your wits about you.


D E M O NxxR E A L M--||--As you might imagine, the home of the Demons is a barren land. Its trees bear no leaves or fruit, its oceans have long since run dry, and its wastelands are never-ending. To put it simply, it is near enough devoid of all life, save for the foul creatures skulking about their business. Among the more civilized of the Demonfolk, poverty runs rampant and they seldom even have two pennies to rub together, though they remain united under one King. It also experiences something that is commonly referred to as "eternal night." To end up in this realm is a guaranteed death sentence if you are caught, as its inhabitants are of the foulest sort.


D R A G O NxxR E A L M--||--Similarly to the Faerie Realm, the Land of Dragons is vast and open, with a wide range of landscapes; more so mountains and other high places. Its inhabitants typically collect into small (often nomadic) tribes, rather than being united under one ruler. The size of the land you can claim is relative to the strength of your tribe, the likes of which vary greatly. The Dragons are a mostly solitary species, preferring not to get mixed up in the wars of other creatures, and no one can really say how they might react to an outsider's presence.

Adoptable characters already have a set role in the story, but as of yet no one is willing to create/portray them. Feel free to take a look below and see if there are any you might want. All interest is greatly appreciated!

1. Expectations for activity can and will vary depending on people's schedules. So long as you're not leaving people waiting for too long (or too often), all is well. I also hope that you'd let me know if you cannot post frequently, or if you have to leave for any reason.

2. These role-plays have always been quite mature, for want of a better term. You can expect to see gratuitous violence, gore, cussing, sensitive topics, sex (but no smut of course), and all that lovely stuff. So it kind of goes without saying that if you're not prepared to deal with that, I wouldn't recommend taking the time and effort to join only to complain about everything later on.

3. You're free to create characters of any background, supernatural or otherwise, as this is mostly a sandbox sort of role-play. However, please keep in mind that one of the main plot points is that mortals are gaining abilities around the town. As such, it'll be super helpful if people were willing to create at least one of these characters. Although it is optional, of course.

4. If you want to join, you're going to have to be willing to discuss plot and relationship ideas with others as necessary, otherwise you may find it's more difficult to fit your character into the story effectively.

5. Please keep all drama private and handle it away from the OOC forums.

6. I do prefer the use of human face-claims in these stories, since even the most inhuman creatures will have to wear a glamour/facade at some point if they go to the mortal realm. However, for characters that don't have a human appearance, I will accept artwork for their true/natural form.

7. You can express interest in joining in the OOC forum or through PM. Whatever works for you.



On a slightly different note, I've never really been picky about character sheet designs. That is to say, I'm quite happy taking sheets with only one or two pictures, so long as there's a good amount of detail to make up for it. If the character is well thought out, then that's good enough for me.

That being said, I do have a very basic character sheet below that people can use if they want one to work from.
