Hidden Lands RP

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Hidden Lands RP

Hidden Lands RP

to enter the hidden world

one must hatch 

and learn to fly on new wings

lest they fall

The world Inside longs for it's Hatchlings, but fewer and fewer come each year. Without it's Hatchlings to populate it, it will crumble and die. This year there are few hatchlings- and each have their own problems, their own quest to complete within the Hidden Lands.

You are one of those few. A modern day teen or tween, you did not expect to come across the magical world hidden within the folds of our own world. But inside you lays a magical version of yourself, and you will Hatch. You must believe to enter the Inside; you must somehow become more than human.

Who knows what you will Hatch into? A Dragon's Kin, a Warrior fighting against the creatures that dishonor the Hidden Land by running rampant, maybe even a Tree-Blooded. To know, you must first survive the Hatching.

RULES:

1. Five people or less besides Air and myself, please. You may have up to two characters each, but they have to be of the same subplot, because having fourteen subplots is too much.

2. Please try not to be overpowered.

3. Try to have your character's personalities evolve as they discover their magical selves.

4. Please don't meet up with other people's character until they say they want to meet up with a character or a group; I want them to have semi independent plots, because they are their own people and having all the characters together can be a drag sometimes.

5. Try to stay committed to the RP. Hey, I get it. Life happens. Still, please make an effort.

6. Have fun!

Okay, this looks really cool and I'd love to join. But before I make a character, can I just get this straight?

So basically what you're saying is that our characters come from our modern-day world and somehow come to the Inside. Once these kids get there, they slowly transform into something? Like a Naiad or a half-dragon? I just need to make sure I'm interpreting this correctly.

Name: October Skye

Age: 12

Appearance: Her hair is a kind of brown-red in the way that it kind of slowly merges between the two in a multicolored sort of pattern. Her eyes are auburn, if that's a thing for eyes, and her skin's a darkish pale. She keeps her hair long but not too much so and it's just naturally curly as it falls down her back. She's tall and slender.

Ordinary Personality: Although she's a nice kid, she grew up in a rich neighborhood and is rather spoiled. She has very high self-esteem and is rather conceited. That being said, she watches her tongue most of the time and keeps this selfishness to herself, no matter what stormy raging thoughts are going on inside.

Backstory: As said before, October grew up in a rich neighborhood. Her father was away most of the time for work, but her mother was always there and October wanted for nothing. She wasn't the kind of girl who sat around doing her nails, though; although she did terrible in school, October was fantastic when it came to fictional readings and could tell you anything about any book.

A Rough Idea of the Plot: Hmmm. I'm terrible at making plots beforehand. I would imagine that being alone in a strange world would freak any girl out and that's what would happen to October, probably get in a few close scrapes with more wild things, that sort of thing. I'm sure once the RP starts I'll have no end of ideas, though.

I have to go, I'll finish later!

Haha I guess I needed some other sheets to get my juices flowing. RE-DO OF PLOT:

October's a dryad (tree nymph) and she's freaking out and is trying to figure out which spins authors have on this type of mythical creature are true. She's scared to leave the woods but it's quite dangerous inside, and all in all she's in a dangerous place and hyperventallating.

Strengths: Because of what she's read, October can identify most of the creatures she's run into. 

Weaknesses: October isn't used to fending for herself. She has good stamina but not a lot of speed, and her upper body strength is terrible.

YESSSS it is up! Thank you so much, I do appreciate having it up even if I don't have that picture...

Here are my characters (I forgot to add them to my original post):

Name: Luci Thorne 


Age: 9


Appearance: She's short and slim with dark, extremely messy and really curly hair. She's got tanned skin with freckles and a slightly upturned, little nose. Her eyes are amber-brown and sparkle in mischief quite a lot. 


Ordinary Personality: She's funny and curious, and always wants to check things out. She loves adventure, and is carefree... she is pretty innocent, and while she's not exactly spoiled she's not seen the hard side of life. 


Backstory: She and her sister live with her aunt, who only keeps them for the welfare money and doesn't care for them very well. Therefore, Erica has to care for her sister mostly herself.


A Rough Idea of the Plot: She and Erica are bird fae; that much they know, but they don't know what kind. To figure that out, and to earn a place in their clan, they have to Quest. Erica is worried their Quests will take them seperate ways or the Quest might hurt Lu.


Strengths: She's sweet and charms others easily; she seems to be suspectible to magic such that Erica hopes the Quest won't be to hard on her. 


Weaknesses: She's not physically strong, and not very fast, though she's fast for her age.
 

Name: Erica Thorne


Age: 13, almost fourteen


Appearance: She looks very simple yet a bit elegant; her hair is very dark red at the tips, and black at the roots, as it used to be a firey color when it was younger; it's shoulder length, and layered and smooth as silk. It's the only thing Erica thinks is pretty about herself. She's slim and tall, lean and almost gangly in her disproperatinate dimensions. She's got a straight, long nose with freckles and the bridge, and biggish eyes that are a dark brown color, melting almost into black near her irises. 


Ordinary Personality: She's kind, and quiet. She doesn't exactly gravitate towards people, but doesn't exactly avoid them. She acts older than she is, and works very hard in school. She rarely lets loose, and takes it upon herself to protect her sister at all costs; she loves her sister more than the world, probably because she's the only proper family she has left. She loves keeping things clean, and safe, and protected. When she does take time to herself, she likes to read.


Backstory: About the same as Luci's.


A Rough Idea of the Plot: She wants to protect her sister from the dangers of the Quest at all costs, but she also somehow needs to do her own at the same time.


Strengths: She's smart, and she's fast and relatively agile.


Weaknesses: Not very physically strong, and doesn't have the best stamina.

We'll start with them discovering the existance of magic.

I'd like to join! This idea sounds very cool. I'll make my character in a little bit. Also, I'm a little confused about the plot/scenario. Would you mind clarifying it up a bit?

JOINING!

So are these separate roleplays in one roleplay? Will we all meet up eventually?

And what type of magic?

Name: Margeax Mirrabelle Kiranami. (She prefers Mirrabelle. [Margeux means Pearl, and Mirrabelle is the name of a French plum])

Age: 14

Appearance: She has long, hazel colored hair. Although straight, her hair has a floaty appearance and hangs down to her middle back. She's pretty short, at 5'6", but doesn't let anyone take advantage of that. With bright, ice blue eyes and a small nose that comes to a rounded point. With high cheek bones and arched eyebrows, it gives her a strong look, though she counteracts it with her shy appearance.

Ordinary Personality: Really shy, she rarely speaks...

I'll finish later!

Basically what Indigo and I were thinking is that you get into the Inside by believing in it. However, once inside, you might gain special magical powers. This is called Hatching. Hatching keeps the Inside alive. Magic can be any kind, though try to avoid elementalism? 

And the individual plot thing... a lot of RPs kind of flatten out after characters meet up, so have your own plot in mind for your own character! 

Also... I'm weird about capitalization. So Hatching, Inside, and Outside are going to be the special terms.

Name: Malia Navarre

Age: 15

Appearance: Her hair is raven black and straight down her back, often with bobby pins holding it back braided from her temples in a crownlike shape. Her big almond eyes look up at you from behind her lashes. Usually, she can be found wearing lacy dresses in either black or white, plus leggings and combat boots.

Ordinary Personality: A born multitasker, she takes charge of her social group, not the leader but always let in to any event. Though she's not exactly hostile, she has a temper and is hard to approach. 

Backstory: Growing up in a fairly regular suburban family, she learned ambition and balance from her parents. She's learned to do many things and could probably fit into any social group if she wanted to, but isn't strongly specialized in any one hobby or team.

A Rough Idea of the Plot: She's a sprite when she Hatches, with extensive knowledge of herbs. She's about to venture out into the markets Inside to sell her skills but is captured for the rarity of sprites. Though she's experienced at navigating social classes as a second-in-command, negociating with skilled Hatchlings may be more than she can handle. 

Strengths: Malia is accepted by the popular even though she likes reading, the girls even though she like running with the boys, the nerds even though she would rather read fantasy than spout science trivia. Her magic is more about knowing things than doing things (no sparks or powers here).

Weaknesses: She has a volatile temper and gives off strange warning signs such as foot tapping when she needs to be alone. She gets irritated at people who don't understand these and so can alienate people quickly. Many don't understand her quick-to-quarrel, quick-to-forgive irrationality.
