ome away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the worldโs more full of weeping than you can understand.โ
A voice, soft and sweet, reaches your ears. You not who beckons you yet the temptation sends your stomach a flutter all the same. The voice sings to you, sounding as though it is everywhere yet nowhere at all. Your feet move without your permission, carrying you deeper into the woods. You do not look back, you cannot go back. The thought does not trouble you in the slightest.
The voice grows giddy and is now joined by others, giggling in delight. Their voices urge you to travel deeper into the vast forest that surrounds you. And oh, deeper you go. You travel in hopes of meeting the voices, leaving the world behind without a second thought. The voices sing once more, you travel further, never to be seen again.
โFor they come, the human child,
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than they can understand.โ
Welcome, to The Secret Garden! Youโve ventured far and wide to find the voices that beckon you. Beware traveler, for once you center you can never leave. But worry not! Here, you shall want for nothing.
Please, call me Erzulie or Zulie, now that youโre here I hope that we can create beautiful stories here in the garden. But first! Letโs start with a short intro. Iโm 23 years old and my pronouns are she/her/hers. Iโve been rping since I was in early middle school, so Iโd say that iโm a seasoned writer at this point.
Iโm a night shift worker so I wonโt be very active during the day. I spend about six hours awake before heading to bed for work. While my posting tends to be on the faster side Iโm completely fine with taking things slow. I understand that real life obligations can get in the way of posting. For the sake of neatness, please dm me if youโre interested in rping together, rather than posting in this thread.
While I do have a list of plots that Iโm interested in, Iโm also willing to hear any ideas that you way be craving at the moment as well!

plot one
open
Centuries ago mermaids swam freely within the worldโs oceans, each more unique than the last, some were known for their vibrant tails and how similar to humans they were in looks, while others held the traits of true fish, ranging from sharks to jellyfish and eels. Their more deadly counterparts, the sirens, preferred to dwell in deeper waters, hunting anything that dared enter their territory. The darkness of the Mariana Trench was the area they called home, away from humans. Either way life changed for these creatures when humans started to actively hunt them. Pirates captured these creatures and sold them off to the highest bidder, the more colorful ones were often kept in tanks as pets and entertainment. While the not so attractive ones were often seen as delicacies that only the wealthiest could afford to partake in.
Soon a battle broke out between these species, the waters that they called home were stained with blood belonging to both sea creatures and humans alike. After years of fighting and the ending of pirates, the war was ended with a treaty signed and the mermaids were never seen again. Their societies were built away from humans, so that they may never bring forth another way again. With that mermaids faded into myth.
Muse A (my character) is a siren from the waters of Barbados. With humans mass fishing it has caused her pod to venture further out into the open in order to travel. It was through this that his sister was captured, causing her to travel to a small fishing town to find her. Muse B found this strange human, no creature wandering around the property of their home and decided to take them in. It wasnโt long before Muse B realized that this person wasnโt human, a splash of water was all it took to reveal their true former. As a marine biologist Muse B wanted to study this creature in order to eventually reveal it to the world and make a name for themselves.
There are those who wish to capture Muse A and the rest of their kind, descendants of past hunters who believe the tales of their ancestors and want to bring back their legacy.
plot two
open
Muse A and Muse B have always been interested in the occult. Since they were young they would read tales of supernatural creatures online, go to their local library to research chilling stories of horror and intrigue. The idea had always been at the forefront of their minds, a detailed list of all the places that theyโd visit in hopes of seeing the supernatural for themselves. The town had thought them childish, perhaps a little out of it even. But they refused to listen, they would show everyone back home that there were things beyond what they learned in their small town, that the world was inhabited by more than just humans and the ordinary creatures they all learned about in school. And so after graduating the two friends set off to follow their dream, packed up their bags and equipment that they owned and drove off in the van they had been saving up for.
The process was slow, but eventually they began to run into creatures of myth. But soon they became greedy. They wanted to see more creatures, bigger monsters and ghost. Ones that would leave their little town and the world in awe. And of did they hit the jackpot land land right into the home of a mysterious โspiritโ, the ghost of a child who died of illness. Foolishly they believed the being, they were tricked by the spirit who soon revealed itself to be a demon of terrible origin. Now the friends must find a way to vanquish this being or risk losing their souls. And now, supernatural creatures of various types have decided to reveal themselves, the cryptids that they read about are all two real and dangerous.
plot three

Itโs been about 30 years since Project Revival has come into play. The project was created by those in power, after they realized our carbon footprint had gotten too large. Overpopulation and lack of resources had quickly become a concern for the country, immediate action was taken. The country formerly known as the United States of America was split, a large city was placed within it. Only a select few individuals were able to live within the cities, important people like doctors, scientists, parents to be, children, law enforcement, were just some of the people allowed to live inside. Of course with enough influence and political power, the top 1% were able to buy their ways inside. That left the unwanted, many of the criminals and poor were left outside, sent little resources in order to adapt.
With little human interference the world began to heal, old buildings were taken over by the flora of the country and animals took over the cities, breeding and increasing their populations. Those forced to live outside the walls of the new city Oasis adapted as well, forming clans of their own within the overgrown forest, hunting and living off the land to survive. Taking those tossed outside in if they proved themselves to be worthy.
Muse A is the leader of one of the largest clans within the Other World, a strong hunter and skilled fighter who puts their people before all else. They were taught we lead from a young age. Muse B spent their entire life within the walls of Oasis, however something happened that led to them being kicked out of the safe zone. While aimlessly wandering through the forest, they come across a beast but are saved by one of the Others. Taken to the leader of the clan Muse B must show their worth, prove that they can live within the clan and pull their weight.

rule one.
Any type of bigotry is absolutely unacceptable. It makes me sad that I even have to clarify this. But, I am a person of color and part of the lgbt+ community, and so any homophobia, transphobia, racism, prejudice, etc will not be tolerated here. This is my first and last warning. However, Iโm willing to explore some of these themes within a rp setting, I say this tentatively. Please be 18+ if you plan on rping with me 1x1. Iโve had people lie about their age to me before, which was a big reason why I was hesitant to do 1x1 rps. But Iโm willing to trust those that express interest in rping with me.
rule two.
Be able to chat ooc with me! I really love being able to casually endlessly discuss plotting, world building, and especially our characters with each other. I love being able to make moodboards, pinterest boards, etc for our characters. I don't like us interacting when it's strictly about rping, I honestly want us to be friends! If I feel like we're not compatible, or can't have a conversation, I most likely won't be interested. I also tend to prefer chatting over discord!
rule three.
My writing style is in 3rd person and my posts tend to range from one to multiple paragraphs, which means no one liners! Feel free to send a writing sample if you'd like. Also if weโre using face claims, I only use real face claims and prefer if my partner does as well.
