Had this idea i randomly wrote up recently that was very different to what I usually make and I think its got some potential as a group rp. However while I could bang up lore and a story rather quickly... I think this would be better if I kept it in a different direction to my usual attempts at fiction. I'd like to get some ideas and opinions from others in terms of the check I've written thus far. But I admit I'm not concrete on much of the tone and direction as it could go multiple ways, the most apparent to me is this idea would be either...
A dramatic slice of life in a fantasy world, or a medieval fantasy adventure with the cast moving about the lands attempting to complete a quest forced upon them.
So if you have something to say after reading this don't hesitate to post below or pm me.
The title would probably be something like
the Fairy Queen conundrum
Have you heard the tales of fae? Most end in tragedy, some result in prosperity.
(this would be a fae, a small ball of light with wings. They come in multiple colours)
A fae is a source of natural magic that grows to have life. With enough mana, experience and emotion... A fae can become a larger more human version of itself known as a fairy.
This is where the stories of fae diverge.
(A fairy is a humanoid with wings. While most accounts or sightings of fairies appear to be young females, male fairies are about just uncommon. It's probably more the case that most are androgynous in appearance)
When a Fairy falls in love, they eventually offer their mana to the one they love. This gesture is inherent to a fairy and subconsciously they know it grants power to their beloved, those who accept a fairy's love become greater then they once were. But in doing so, become cursed for the unforgivable crime of killing a fairy. For accepting a fairy's confession, kills them... a fairy's mana is its lifeforce after all, as beings of magic they are not mortal in the way other races are.
But when one refuses this offer of love, when one refuses a fairy's confession and the mana of a fairy returns to themselves.
That fairy transforms into a Fairy queen, capable of immense change in the world thanks to their grand power.
(A fairy queen or king is a full grown fairy. They have massive amounts of magic power and control the environment of the domain they rule aswell as the wildlife within it. Fairy royalty these days is uncommon and the world naturally suffers because of this, also because many who acquire a fairy's power become drunk and corrupted by it, most go on to become powerful causes of chaos.)
Though the world is full of people who would gladly accept love or power, It is that reason why so many fairies die. That is why a fairy queen soon to pass, has enacted a way to help remedy that situation. She has done all in her power to track down those who have murdered a fairy. Be it intentional or unknowingly...
Said queen has gathered as many as she could and gave them a way to repent for their crime. They are to bring about the birth of a new fairy queen to remove their own curse. They must watch over fae kind and work towards the goal given to them.
But this task is difficult. Those cursed by a fairy or who know how a fairy queen is born cannot share this information with others, be it spoken written or conveyed by other means. To attempt speaking of the method required for a fae or fairy to become a queen results in curses for all parties involved.
The queen has gathered all she could in the effort said people will guide fairies into becoming Queens. Though put short this means ensuring whoever a fairy is infatuated with refuses love and power offered to them. Without revealing why.
The fairy queens forces somehow have to ensure a fairy queen is made, but they can't say
"oi refuse that beautiful thing pledging undying loyalty to you for the greater good of the land"
Under penalty of death and torture of ones soul. It would be so easy if one could just tell the object of a fairy's affection "taking that from them results in death but they don't know that"
So letting fairies and those they love know the implications of a fairy's confession is a very touchy subject. Especially with how legends tell of how a fairy's love can grant strength to mortals... It has become a goal of many to seduce fairies for power.
==========================
The two big plot points im trying to get across would revolve around fairies in some form or another.
1) most of the cast would be trying to turn a fairy or multiple into royalty: a fairy queen or king.
2) most people to kill a fairy via taking its love become empowered aswell as cursed. These cursed people eventually cause chaos and are difficult to stop.
The cast would most likely be cursed indviduals be they fairy or a mortal race. Their goal being to chaperone/guide/watch over fairies to ensure any confession made fails. The problems being the easiest answers lead to failure.
A fairy confession happens, what happens if you kill the recipient before a answer occurs?
That fairy sees the one they love get murdered and most likely take back their mana and turn into a sprite thanks to the overwhelming negative emotions.
One could simply tell the recipient in secret of the consequences, but that would curse the one saying the truth and the one who hears it.
