A WYRD TALE
THE STORYIf there is one story that ends, indefinitely, in tragedy, it is undoubtedly the tale of MacBeth, the story of a poor soul who wound up believing in the false prophecy of the Wyrd sisters, and, hungry with power, killed all those close to him. However, not many know the Wyrds' side, nor do they know why they committed such an awful deed. In fact, we may never know the Wyrds' motivation, other than to cause trouble for the royal family. It is predicted, however, that they disliked the current royal family and therefore did what they could to get rid of them. They were successful in their endeavor, however, and, after doing the deed, disappeared without a trace. If there was one thing they were known for besides overthrowing a king, however, it was the revolution of a style of magic; Inner Wyrd. These abilities focused on the clarity of mind and the soul. To preserve this knowledge, they wrote the Wyrd Scriptures, a series of books describing the use of their magic. Amongst these scriptures are the Three Books of Summons; the Book of Heroes, the Book of Weapons, and the Book of Beasts. It's said that whoever possesses one of these books has the capability to summon a legendary hero, weapon, or creature to protect you, or even manipulate one's body to become like that hero, weapon, or creature.
And so we drift away from the age of the Wyrd sisters and several hundred years later. The kingdom of Lostriburg is gripped by a king, an evil one said to be the reincarnation of MacBeth, seeking revenge for the deed that the Wyrd Sisters committed against him ages ago. He has issued a hunt for whoever possesses one of the three Books of Summons. It is said that the descendants of the three and coincidental bearers of the books (Lisithea, Faligaia, and Wysteria) are the only chance of stopping the madness of the king himself, but the chance of succeeding is low, seeing as His Majesty is very well protected by his guards--members of the Montague family.
THE ROLES
WYRDS
- The Librarian - A peaceful sorcerer who spent most of their young adult life living in the Reverie Athenium, an enchanted library built by the wizard Prospero. This sorcerer is the descendant of the eldest Wyrd Sister, Lisithea, and keeper of the Book of Beasts. Their life is relatively quiet, and they aren't used to any sort of conflict, save for the occasional troublemaking caused by their friend, the Mischief Maker. Little do they know that they will soon meet The Orphan and The Warrior and have their life completely uprooted. Taken by
TheHufflepuffRabbit
- The Warrior - A soldier working under the king, this person is unaware that the strange book they carry around for good luck is actually the Book of Weapons. The warrior is the descendant of Faligaia, the middle Wyrd sister, and has been assigned to patrol the Enchanted Forest where the Reverie Athenium just so happens to be. What will they do when they happen across their distant relatives, The Orphan and The Librarian? Taken by
Hercynia
- The Orphan - The adopted child of the Faerie King and Queen, this person lost their family in a freak accident involving the king attempting to kill them. However, the orphan was saved by the characters in what they consider their "story book", or rather, the Book of Heroes, which they inherited from their ancestor, the youngest Wyrd, Wysteria. They were raised in the Enchanted Forest and know nothing of the drama occurring in the forest or of their importance. That is, until their chance meeting with The Warrior and The Librarian. Open.
THE FAERIE KINGDOM
- The Faerie King & Queen - Adoptive parents of The Orphan. They are immortal faeries who have been through a lot together--especially arguments. Yes, the King and Queen do argue amongst each other a lot, to the point of sending the Mischief Maker after one another with harsh pranks. While they do argue, however, deep down they love each other. Very deep down. Open.
- The Mischief Maker - A faerie working for the king and queen--more specifically, the King's right-hand man. They love causing trouble for both Faeries and Humans alike, but they are good friends with The Librarian, often perusing the Reverie Athenium to find new ways to cause trouble. They intend on joining The Wyrds on their journey to assist them. Taken by

Hello, there, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but I'm a HUGE theatre geek. Like seriously. I've got it bad. This roleplay is basically my tribute to the King of Playwriting himself, William Shakespeare, and I'm going all-out. From MacBeth to A Midsummer Nights' Dream to Romeo and Juliet to a tad of The Tempest, I am a lover of Shakespeare. So what better way to celebrate it and the upcoming Shakespeare festival than creating a roleplay based off of it? I am eager to do this and will definitely need some help, however (my dad is a poophead who took away my computer), so if you're interested in co-GMing or something like that, then just contact me! And be sure to reserve a role too~! In the meantime, I'll be here, waiting.
Muahahaha~!
