Setting/Starter
Sylphs are a race of winged humanoids who reside in the kingdoms of the sky. Normally Sylphs are docile, friendly and have and affinity for wind and air magic, but some being more closed off and using other types of magic. The wings of each Sylph range from being feathered and bird-like to being insect-like, such as butterfly or moth wings.
Generations ago, Sylphs interacted with races of the surface, primarily that of elves and humans, but with the occasional interaction with dwarfs and other races. They were known as helpers and peaceful folk, valuing arts and culture over architecture and elaborate city structures. As such the kingdoms of the sky consisted entirely of connected floating isles that moved along with the winds and clouds, but some of them were able to remain in one place, allowing for grander cities and connections to the people to form.
At one point in time or another the Humans waged war on the Elves for numerous reasons now lost to history. The Elves allied with the Dwarfs to fend off the Humans, with the Humans requesting the aid of Sylphs and various other smaller groups of races, such as nomadic tribes of shapeshifters. The Sylphs refused to fight with and against two of their greatest allies, denying to send help. The Humans lashed out and attacked the Sylphs in return, forcing them to retreat to their islands in the sky. Using their magic, the King and Queens of the different kingdoms of the sky concealed all of their lands with dense and almost impenetrable clouds. After the war ended with a peace treaty between Humans and Elves the Sylphs remained in their kingdoms with fear of another war breaking out. While most surface dwelling races had indeed forgotten the Sylphs after the war.
But that was way back then, and this is now.
Present day the Sylphs have been forgotten, fading into nothing more than myths and legends for most races. Only Fae and Fairy folk still know the tales and reasons for the disappearance of the Sylphs, but keep the knowledge of them secret as a result of an agreement between the races. The Sylphs have remained in hiding for generations now. The Kings and Queens of the kingdoms of the sky have met once more, believing that they can once more live with other races in peace. While some cast their suspicion, all of them eventually agreed to send an ambassador to the surface in order to check in on their once allies. After a much heated debate on who to send they eventually settled on John Akara, a cheery, but younger Sylph who had always wanted to see the surface. They sent him down with the task of setting out and meeting the current leaders of the lands (without warning mind you).

This is a simple idea that I've had to go with a character I've made recently. The setting would be rather simple as it would be John exploring the kingdom that your character rules over, or is set to inherit reign over the kingdom. As such, this is open for mostly royalty characters, but I'm also willing to accept one person as a guide or travelling companion as my character struggles to find his way in whatever foreign lands he finds himself in.
Note - This will/can be either be a 1x1 or a 3 person group (me and two others). I'm willing to do multiple 1x1s if more than one person finds this interesting.
Please be able to write enough detail and description to move along the plot (1 or more paragraphs please). If you need help with writing longer posts try describing your character's appearance, their thoughts, how they are posed, a general setting, etc etc.
If you're interested either send me a PM or reply here, I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Magic is very common. Magic-tech, grand floating islands, forests that sing, magical creatures may be an every-day occurrence.
Iron age
A peaceful setting, but with a chance for small fights and struggles to break out on a very small scale.
Details: Freeform, adjustable length posts, one-off scene.
Well, Almighty, it seems like I'll be contacting you about an RP a lot sooner than I thought lol. I find this pretty intriguing, and was maybe hoping I could get in on this

*waves hands furiously* I want to join! Can I? Can I? Pleassse?
Thank you both for your interest! I'll send you each a PM for further discussion as soon as I can (I'm on mobile, so it'll be whenever I get back on my computer).
TattooedLillies I took a look at your character and I think it would be a perfect fit.
Ross, what character would you have in mind for it?
Oh, I guess I forgot to ask, is 1x1 good for both of you? I would still RP with both of you, it would just be in separate RPs.

1x1 is just fine for me. As far as a character goes, the two characters I have in my character pool that are royals I have yet to put up on RPR
