I'm posting here because I recently rebooted an old role-play with some trusted writers, and we're ideally looking for 2-3 more active and dedicated people to join us!
Please follow this link to the actual page.
Edit: Upon seeing the characters tab, I'd like to urge potential joiners not to be discouraged by the amount of individual character sheets we have thus far. Not all of them will be active at the same time and are merely there for future usage, or smaller aspects of the story.
We're currently boasting a total of 5 writers and we're really not looking to exceed 8-9 overall, thereby keeping things manageable.
The Outcasters Series: Originating from a slice-of-life RP about 6 outcast friends, the Outcasters series became a fantasy/action/supernatural story focusing on many different characters, their relationships and conflicts, and the ever-growing world around them. It has been running for approximately 4-5 years to date, spanning three generations in total.
Background: The War for Peace, as it has been named, began with one young man and an idea. Frustrated by the division of the realms (most notably the Faeries, Demons, Dragons, and Wraith) and the subsequent wars that raged on between them, Alec Iris set about a plan to create one single realm; a place for all species to live together under one government. His logic was that if there was no division, there would be no conflict. For many years his plans went on unnoticed, until he started gaining some reckless allies in the Demon and Wraith Kingdoms. Opposition came from the realisation that if Alec was to create this new world, he would need to destroy the others, or at least the portals that allowed people to access them, and bring every known species into one land.
Erieda Davenport, the Queen of all Fey and Guardian of the Converge, fought back against Alec Iris and his schemes. The war between them lasted roughly a year, and ended when the two met in battle. In the end it was Alec Iris who emerged victorious. His power was too great, his secret weapon too lethal. Erieda, her family, and her allies were captured and imprisoned. No one else was strong enough to stop what happened next.
Lacking both the means and the power, Alec Iris was unable to create a new realm, so instead he opted to use the Mortal Realm (the largest of the known worlds). He chose Victoria Montez, the cruellest and most reckless of his allies, to sit upon the throne. He believed that she would rule over his world with an iron fist and do what needed to be done to make it stable. He couldn't predict that she would let his creation destroy itself instead.
Grief and regret caused Alec to flee, his whereabouts still unknown to this day, and Victoria is still clinging to her crown while the Rebellion grow in strength.
Setting: Based in what is known as the Mortal Realm, or Earth. Having been plucked from their own realms and lands, many species found it near impossible to co-exist and ended up destroying whatever was left of the world around them. Whole cities were levelled when dragons clashed with demons, and demons clashed with faeries. Humans fought back as best they could at the time but nowadays they're a rare sight, having been almost entirely wiped out.
Character Opportunities: Much that I'd encourage people to come up with their own ideas for characters, there are several roles/ideas that I can provide.
•xxQueen's Court - Perhaps you're a trusted adviser to the Tyrant Queen, Victoria Montez, or simply someone who cleans her chambers. You could be a hired assassin, a tortured plaything, or her personal guard dog. (Keep in mind that the Queen will be something of an NPC controlled by her original writer, rather than having her own sheet).
•xxThe Remei Army - Led by Alexander Davenport, the Remei is the Queen's main fighting power. Upon joining, soldiers receive a sigil (on any part of their body that they choose) which seals their loyalty to the General. It physically prevents them from speaking any of the Remei's secrets or plans, or engaging in any traitorous activities. A large majority of this army consists of Demons and Wraith, a select few of which are trained in iron manipulation abilities in order to help them control the Faeries.
•xxThe Fey Rebellion - The Rebellion has two leaders. Simon Davenport, who leads the Faeries and all similar species, and Sunday Davenport, who leads any Demons and Wraith. Based in the woodland surrounding the Queen's capital city, they are currently biding their time and building their strength so that they might rescue their true Queen, Erieda Davenport.
Notice: A couple of people have thus far expressed concern that their characters will merely act as supporting roles in this story, but I'd like to state that this is not the case. If you want to make a former King/Queen of a realm, a current group leader, or anything else like that, please feel free! All ideas for characters, backgrounds, and current storylines are more than welcome.
Please keep in mind:
Writers will be judged solely on how interesting their characters are, as opposed to the design of their sheet. That being said, at least one image of your character is required (please note that I can assist in finding and resizing images if need be). These images can either be real or artwork, but definitely no anime. If you are adamant that you don't wish to use a specific face-claim, we may be willing to look past it on the strength of your description.
By no means do we expect our writers to handle 700-1000 word posts every time. If you can manage at least one or two paragraphs, the likes of which contain enough content for other members to work from, this would be more than satisfactory.
These role-plays have always relied upon a lot of open communication and planning between writers, so that everything can progress smoothly and all characters remain adequately included in ideas.
Overall site rules apply, of course.
