Take your first Footsteps...
This is a literate RP group based on mythical beings in a medieval environment and the different issues that they may encounter while trying to blend in to a rule governed by humans - notable the tyrannical King Eddard Barrington.
There are quite a lot of places the RP could take place in. A map would be installed hopefully sometime soon to show possible locations. The RP would generally take place in a picturesque town called Lonepine Village which harbours a lot more secrets than one would expect.
Who, what, when and where?
Whether it was fate, a horse and cart or escape (or all of the 3 combined) that bought you to Lonepine Village, you’re here for a reason. Probably. It’s a quaint little town filled with nice people that form a tight-knit community. It’s almost like there aren’t any.... secrets.
Maybe you’ve only just realized, or maybe you’ve always known, but you’re different. You aren’t like everyone else. You won’t ever be like everyone else. You, are not human.
You will live and breathe and do the things you are expected to do here. Life is… well, it’s life. You’re part of a world, filled with humans, they’re completely ignorant to who you are and what you are capable of. You are intent on keeping it that way.
You can’t trust them, you wouldn’t be safe. Who knows what they will do to you if they find out who you are. At first they would mock you, refuse to believe that you are what you say you are and once you prove it to them, zoos and inhumane experiments await. They’ll sell you out. But you can live with the dream that somewhere out there, there is someone like you. Someone not quite so… human.
But that’s just silly. In a town like this, secrets don't usually stay secrets for that long. Still, you can’t help but wonder if there is something behind the façade of cosiness, if the people are hiding something.
You go on with life, minding your own business- and regardless of how successful you are, how popular you are, you begin to feel almost… lonely. There’s something decidedly gloomy about the brightly coloured houses and at times even the sound of birds chirping seem a little sad. It’s given, seeing as you are the only one so different.
Right?
But there are others. Just like you. Some good, some... not quite so good. Actually, some are not good at all. Do you have a choice? It's no time to be playing the hero, just get your act together and at least try and stay out of trouble. Which shouldn't be too hard... right?
Unless you are one for trouble - or you have too much charisma - and you don't care whether people know or not! In which case, go and play hero or villain, and remember - the choice is yours...
Magic is fading, technology is on the rise.
Mythical creatures are becoming rare, humans are dominating.
Peace is to be found better in isolation, but War makes it difficult for a moment of peace.
