Introduction

Image
"It’s Mystic Falls, nothing bad ever happens here."


Welcome to Mystic Falls, Virginia, where nothing bad ever happens or so you thought. Mystic Falls is a picturesque town with a population of 6,923 people. Aside from the town's foundation in 1860 (in the series' timeline) by the Founding Families, the town also has a long history of vampires, witches and werewolves, causing Mystic Falls to be an uncanny village with a dark secret. Many famous historical occurrences have taken place in the small town. Mystic Falls, the little town with a big secret. For centuries, supernatural creatures have lived amongst us. Vampires, werewolves, doppelgängers, witches, and even hybrids. The town has been plagued by it all. Werewolves, witches, doppelgängers, hunters - even ghosts. The supernatural creatures here each fight their own wars while trying not to be caught by ‘the council’. There are some humans who are well aware of the existence of these beings, and intent on destroying them. At the end of the day they are forced to fight a battle of survival and will do whatever it takes to stay alive. Can you survive Mystic Falls? Let’s see.


What Are You?

ImageImageImage
ImageImageImage


Vampires
Image
“You feel like you could do anything. Be anyone. Beautiful things are more beautiful. Everything's heightened, you know? Just live more intensely. Love more powerfully. [...] Anger becomes rage. When you're sad, you're in despair. Grief. Loss. It can cripple you. That's why so many of us turn our emotions off. It just becomes... too overwhelming.”

Vampires are magically reanimated corpses who are inhabited by the spirit of the deceased and closely resemble a living body. Vampires feed and survive on the blood of the living, typically on human blood, and can transform other humans into more of their kind. Vampires are one of the many known supernatural species in the world.


Werewolves

Image
"When the full moon crests in the sky, whoever is unlucky enough to fall under the werewolf curse turns into a wolf. [...] If it were a choice, it wouldn't be called a curse. Werewolves will attack humans. But instinct and centuries of rivalry have hardwired them to hunt their prey of choice -- Vampires."

Werewolves (also called Lycanthropes, Loup Garou, Beasts, or even just Wolves for short) are a near-extinct supernatural shapeshifting species of individuals who unwillingly transform into large, fearsome and extremely hostile wolves on the night of the full moon. Even in their human form, werewolves possess superhuman physical prowess, but not to the same level as a vampire, and not as powerful as the abilities they have on a full moon. These creatures are the most dangerous enemies of vampires, due to their venomous bite, which is lethal to them. Werewolves are also hardwired to kill vampires on sight in their wolf form, though they still hunt human prey whenever there are no vampires to kill.


Witches
Image
“The Italians call them Strega. The Yoruba of West Africa call them Iya, meaning mother. Where my mother was from, they called them Häxa. And here, we call them witch. Over the centuries vampires have fought them and fought beside them, bedded them and burned them. Whether adversary or ally they have been a force to be reckoned with.”

A witch is a man or woman who is born with the power to affect change by magical means ("Witchcraft"). While many witches are self-proclaimed Keepers of the Balance, other witches are known to work against the Balance, and use their power for personal gain.


Doppelgängers

Image
" [...] When they drank the immortality elixir, they violated the natural law that all living things must die, so Nature found a balance by creating mortal shadow selves. Doppelgängers."

Doppelgängers, also known as Shadow Selves, are a supernatural occurrence that came as result of Silas and Amara becoming true immortals. Their purpose is to maintain the natural balance by dying in place of their immortal progenitors, and for this reason, doppelgängers have existed for 1,000 years being born and dying in their place.

There are two known doppelgänger lines stemming from Silas and Amara respectively, of which Stefan Salvatore, Elena Gilbert, and Katherine Pierce belong to.


Humans and Hunters

Image
The primary abilities of every human being include adaptability and versatility. For the most part, humans are outmatched by supernatural beings and are most often defeated whenever confronted by a superior creature. However, some humans have been known to utilize tools and weapons and have managed to succeed in a supernatural combat. Therefore, as a means of survival, most humans must rely on intelligence, research and teamwork in order to prevail.

Due to the fact that humans are commonly noted for their tendency to fear the unknown, many of the humans who are aware of the supernatural have built societies, such as the Founder's Council, that are dedicated to hunting and killing all supernatural beings, especially vampires. Generally, these hunters use advanced knowledge of folklore to hunt, identify and murder any and all threats to humanity. They are able to modify conventional human weaponry such as guns and knives to repel and/or kill supernatural beings that are often more powerful than they are.


Hybrids

Image
Hybrids are a crossbreed between two or more different supernatural species. The term is commonly used to describe a Werewolf turned into a Vampire because they were the first type of hybrid to exist, however, they are not the only ones to exist.

A Werewolf-Vampire hybrid are potentially one of the most powerful pseudo-undead creatures, having strengths and characteristics of both vampires and werewolves. Hybrids possess both the strengths and some of the weaknesses of their parent races, along with powerful attributes unique to themselves alone due to their combined heritage, like day-walking and being able to turn into a wolf form without the Full Moon's influence.

Out of Character

• Right now season 6 of the Vampire Diaries and season 2 of the Originals is still airing. So, I can't really say that this role-play starts after the events of this season, but the things that have happened thus far have happened. That meaning that the anti-magic barrier that was over Mystic Falls has been disabled. Sheriff Forbes is dead. The Other Side was destroyed. Since the collapse of the Other Side, spirit magic has become extinct.

• This role-play takes place in the near future; 2028. The old Mystic Falls Gang (Elena, Stefan, Caroline, ect.) no longer reside in Mystic Falls or attend Whitmore College.

• Your characters can have some sort of relation or ties to the characters of either the Vampire Diaries or the Originals. Depending on how long your character has been alive for they could have met either Damon or Stefan centuries ago. Or you can be a distant cousin of the Bennett line who even if you haven't met Bonnie you could be related to her (e.i. Lucy).

• If your character is between the ages of 14-18 or look young enough that they should be attending high school then you should be enrolled at Mystic Falls High School.

• The Originals are the oldest vampires in the world. If you are a vampire you cannot be older than the Original Vampires. They were turned in the 10th century so that means they’re like 1,000 + years old. So keep that in mind.

• If you are interested in being one of the big bads, a doppelgänger or a hybrid in this role-play pm me and let me know so we can discuss.

Toggle Rules

[font]✘ ACTIVITY

Activity is crucial ― I really cannot stress this enough. I’ve seen a handful of quality role-plays die due to inactivity and I don’t want that happening here. There’s nothing worse than a dead ooc or ic. If you can’t be on for whatever reason, you’re real life has gotten really busy, or you just don't want to be apart of this role-play anymore― please notify me via pm or in the ooc. I understand that, as the creator of this role-play, I set an example when it comes to activity; however, I really don’t want you relying on my posts 24/7.

✘ LITERACY

This is a semi-literate role-play meaning I do expect literacy. I understand that your grammar and spelling can’t always be on point ― especially if English isn’t your first language ― but, if am being completely honest right now, am only going to accept role-players who have a decent grasp at literacy. When it comes to writing post I do understand writers block and how we're not always given much to go off of when replying to others. I hate word counts so in post a minimum of paragraph is expected.

✘ MATURITY

On another note, OOC drama will not be tolerated. Please come to me if you’re experiencing issues with other members OOC, even if that OOC member is myself. I’ll help out in any way that I can ― but I can only do that if you let me know what’s up. This role-play will contain explicit, mature, and possibly triggering themes. Sex, drugs, alcohol, teen angst ― there’ll be plenty of it. After all, this is a high school role-play.

✘ INCLUSION

Nobody likes to be left out, right? Try to reach out to as many people as you can when it comes to plotting. Don’t be afraid to make the first move and shoot someone an pm or say something in the ooc! Role-plays are all about character interaction and, hey, you might even surprise yourself with how it all turns out. Character development gets a major thumb up from me.

✘ MAJOR CHANGES & PLOTS

I may be the creator of this role-play but I want everyone to enjoy so don't be afraid to speak up and put in your two cents about plot ideas and things that you want to do or see happen in the role-play.

✘ DRAMA

OOC drama is not welcomed here. IC drama, however, is highly encouraged. Please come to me if you’re experiencing issues with other members OOC, even if that OOC member is myself. I’ll help out in any way that I can ― but I can only do that if you let me know what’s up.

✘ GODMODDING

Just don’t do it. It makes everyone unhappy. If you’re new to roleplaying, here's a helpful link so you can learn what not to do.

✘ FACE CLAIMS

I personally don't do role-plays involving anime and therefore when you make your characters please use real images. I also am not a fan of assigned face-claims so you guys have complete freedom over your face claims.

✘ MULTIPLE CHARACTERS

Am fine with people making multiple characters as long as you can role-play for all of them. Please keep the girl to boy ratio in mind as well as the species ratio when making multiple characters.[/font]

Re: The Battle Within Mystic Falls

I think I'll be finished with my character by the end of the day. So, if everyone else manages to turn in their w.i.p. sheets then when can start this tomorrow.

Re: The Battle Within Mystic Falls

Sounds good guys. I have to ask what is Ceremonial Magic? I looked up the different kind of magics on the vampire diaries/ originals wiki page and I didn't see ceremonial listed. The only ones I saw were Ancestral Magic, Dark Magic, Expression, Sacrificial Magic, Spirit Magic, Traditional Magic and Traveler Magic. Now because of the Other Side being destroyed there is no more spirit magic. Is ceremonial magic like subsection of sacrificial magic?

Re: The Battle Within Mystic Falls

I will have a character in soon I still would like it very much!

Re: The Battle Within Mystic Falls

Hey!!

So, I just wanted to put this update in the OOC so that there will be no confusion. I realized that I didn't want all of my characters to be in high school. So, I'm going to change Vanessa's age to 21 and she works at the Mystic Grille as a bartender, and at Mystic Falls High as the Assistant Coach to the cheerleading team. The guy character is a Lockwood and an unturned werewolf who she is looking out for since she and her mom don't want him to turn. My human will be a girl with the face claim of Gigi Hadid, a junior in high school.

Re: The Battle Within Mystic Falls

@Dumisa, xD

Okay, so my first child, Vanessa Deveraux, is done. Tell me what you think and if I need to change anything, and I'll get started on my guy some time today.

Re: The Battle Within Mystic Falls

@Girl:
OMG~! I love the Amell's as well. And awe, I'm sorry. If it makes you feel any better, I can't have anyone of them either. :D

Re: The Battle Within Mystic Falls

I have a very important matter to discuss with you!

I just read in this article. http://vampirediaries.alloyentertainmen ... s-30215/#4

That Claudia Black (my face claim) Will be playing in the originals.

As Dahlia. Does this mean I need to give up my face claim!!

I hope not but as sad as it would be I understand -_-

Let me know

Re: The Battle Within Mystic Falls

Okay character would be Claudia Black

Not alot of people know her. Oh umm. Witch

She is amazing sheet will be in soon.

Image She is a bit older I hope that is okay!

They could be a distant aunt if you wanted them to be. The thing about is that the character doesn't even need to know that they are related to said person. Like in the case of Sarah Nelson (Salvatore) she went her whole life without knowing that she related to the Salvatores because she was adopted and everything. Then you've got Lucy who met Bonnie one night realized that they were cousins. There are different ways to play relationships to canon characters.

Soooo...I think you were sent from the gods to somehow trap me and make me fall in love with you and every roleplay you make because that's just what it seems like. xD

Anyways, I'd like to take on a witch with the face claim of Kayla Phillips. She is a descendant from both the Bennett line and the Deveraux line (like Sophie and Monique on TO). I'd also like a werewolf with the face claim of Francisco Lachowski and I might possibly take on a human as well.

EDIT. They are both high school juniors.


Lol. I've gotten you under my spell *evil laughter*. Your characters are reserved and am glad to once again have you in my clutches ;)

I'd also like to reserve a witch with the Face Claim Jacob Artist and like Girl's character, he will be a descendant from the Bennett line and a junior in high school. Feel like such a copycat. :P Also would like to reserve a vampire with the Face Claim being Stephen Amell and a hunter with the Face Claim being Robbie Amell.

Thank you so much. :)


Reservations are accepted! I can't wait to see all of the characters you guys come up with =D.

Re: The Battle Within Mystic Falls

Dumisa, I'm in love with the Amell's!!! Stephen is gorgeous on Arrow, why would you scar me like this by having sexy as one of the characters neither me or my girl can have!? you're so mean lol
