RIP Avicii 1989-2018
Long long ago, there was peace. It had come from years of bloody war, years of hard work at the treaties and agreements. And so, the land existed in no boundaries, no separation. No one was despised for their race, no one judged by their appearance. No one died by another’s hand. Until the day that someone did.
A boy, his name long lost to time, had been in the dark forest. His father and mother had warned him of The Ones Who Watch, creatures that obeyed no law, who lived in the shadowy woods. He knew of the risk, and so took a knife tucked in his boot. But The Ones Who Watch did not take kindly to the presence in their woods. They attacked the boy, who was left with no choice but to defend himself. And so the treaty was broken, and he took the life of A One Who Watches. The spirit of the forest was enraged. The trees turned gnarled and thorny. The plants turned to poison and the ground to quicksand. The forest cursed the boy, so severely that he was almost dead.
But the world had not been so fortunate.
The boy grew to be called the One of Dark Woods, though neither the darkness nor the earth had blessed him. His armor was the bones of the One that he killed, and with it he became less than human. Or perhaps more. His power was so great, too great for the armies to fight against. The borders pulled back up through the earth, dividing into colonies. The One of Dark Woods sought to tear them down, and nearly succeeded.
But the spirits would not be so easily defeated. They made a plan, a pact. Each would bless one soul, one among each race. Water, earth, air, fire, darkness, light, and emotion. Elf, dwarf, orc, siren, skin walker, avian, and human. Seven small children, none more than three, had been given the power to save the world. And they would have eighteen years to learn. To grow. To save the world.
Unless the One of Dark Woods found them first.

Hey, it’s me, back at it again with an original plot. I tried to make it as detailed as possible so you guys can see what I’m expecting. I prefer quality over quantity for everything. One detailed paragraph is better than three low-detail ones. I also want you to be interested in this. Don’t quit half-way through without giving me a reason. I know life gets in the way, but I don’t appreciate my ideas being abandoned. Two completely interested players is better than twenty barely interested players. So yeah. Also, completely fine with anything inside the site rules. As you can see, there is a horror tag. Along with some slice-of-life and adventure elements, there will be exploring of dark themes and descriptions of blood/injuries/sickness/poverty/famine. If that’s not good for you, then walk away. I don’t want someone barging in and asking me to change my ideas. Nothing beyond the site rules, that’s my motto.
So yeah, that’s my rules. I’ll have the OOC up as soon as I can, and then comes the character sheet thread. If I see enough interest, maybe this’ll be a real RP. Right now it’s just a dream. A dream that depends on you.
