Intro "We're what's known in common parlance as... Peculiar." ~ Alma LeFay Peregrine, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
A four generations after the arc of Jacob Portman and his friends, all remained well until Peculiars started disappearing again. Loops being raised, bloodbaths left in the wakes. The survivors, which are rare, do go looking for Portman, saying that there were monsters. No one even remembered what they were, as Hollowgasts and Wights had gone nearly extinct, thanks to Jacob. However, unfortunately, very few of his generation even remain, not including him. Millard, Horace and Addison are the only living Peculiars from Jacob's time, when Hollowgasts and Wights were known to everyone. Tricks and knowledge is shared with the newer generation, returning knowledge that never should've been lost. It's noted that there are no Wights though, and it is later learned that the new Hollowgasts are a result of a reverse affect. Instead of Hollows eating Peculiar souls to become normal again, Peculiars are eating the souls of their own to become Hollows. After all, they are bigger, stronger, and faster. And now, when there is intent, they've evolved yo also be able to use their peculiarities while in the grotesque form. Even though Jacob's two friends have provided the new generations with, if even a little, defense, the Peculiars they are protecting are still being taken. Like wolves picking off sheep from the herd. The day lightens at a point though, when a Peculiar in the group finally finds out that they can see the monsters.

Rules "Forgive me, but I continue to underestimate the breadth of your ignorance." ~ Alma LeFay Peregrine, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children 1. Perfect characters- They don't exist, so don't try to join with one. 2. Killing- No killing another character without permission 3. Post length- Post at least five sentences. I will lose interest when I see a reply of "he nodded, and walked off." It makes me personally cringe and stall from replying. 4. Peculiarities- Don't pick anything too major, because I will be looking at the forms to see if you're approved anyway. 5. Activity- I prefer more active people, but it really doesn't matter. Please just don't join and never come back. It makes me salty. And, if you're going to be gone for a long time, please tell me. If you don't, you have two weeks for a warning, then I delete you after the third. You'll have to talk to me about joining again. 6. Content- PG13 and below please. That goes for romance, gore, etc. If, for whatever reason, you feel you want to go further, take it to PM, or use a skip here. 7. Manners- Be nice to everyone, and try to include everyone. It isn't fun to have five people rping, and one other person lowkey being denied every time they try to jump in. 8. Fun- Simple. Have fun! Peculiardom "I used to dream about escaping my ordinary life, but my life was never ordinary. I had simply failed to notice how extraordinary it was." ~ Jacob Portman, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
Peculiars are individuals who have a unique set of genes. A second soul, if you may, given to them before birth by the Librarians who inhabited the Library of Souls. Such individuals have become more rare now though, as the Librarians are seemingly extinct after Jacob Portman. A Peculiar soul is unique. None today are of catastrophic power like the titans from who knows how long ago, but any Peculiar is unique. Peculiars- Humans who have a second soul in their body, located in the sole of their foot. There are three types of Peculiars. Aggressive, Passive and Physical. The Aggressive Peculiarities are those like pyrokinesis, hydrokineses, necromancy, etc. Powers that can be used for offense. Passive Peculiarities are those like levitation, nature manipulation, and the unnamed ability Jacob and Abraham Portman had, being able to see, talk to and control Hollowgasts. Physical Peculiarities are anything visually changing the body. A mouth in the back of your head, being invisible, super strength, or even like Hugh's Peculiarity, being able to store bees inside of him. Hollowgasts (Hollows)- Monstrous ex-Peculiars who hunger for the souls of their former brethren. They look like tall, decaying humans with a monstrous jaw that holds sharp teeth and three super long, slimy tentacles that they can use whenever. At first, Hollows were a result of a failed experiment led by Miss Peregrine's two brothers. That generation of monsters is nearly extinct though, the last one being the Hollowgast that Jacob Portman bonded with. Its whereabouts are unknown, but it no longer hunts Peculiar souls. The new Hollowgasts are a mutated result of Peculiars cannibalizing their brethren. Some well over fifteen feet tall. Can range from skinny to muscular, maintain their Peculiarity, and are three times as strong than the old Hollows. Also, instead of three tentacles protruding from the mouth, it's five. Wights- (They're extinct in this rp) At first, when Hollowgasts ate enough Peculiar souls, they would mostly achieve their human appearance except for their eyes, which remained white. Ymbynes- Peculiars who can manipulate time and change into a bird. Ymbrynes are always female. They create "loops" to keep Peculiars out of view from the outside world, who either doesn't accept them or would want them as weapons.

Loops & Important Places "A loop preserves the last 24 hours. Reset the loop and the day is yours to live in again. Reset it daily and you can stay there forever. Entirely safe from the outside world." ~ Alma LeFay Peregrine, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children Loops- A pocket of time made by an Ymbryne. Only Peculiars, Hollows and Wights can pass through and enter one. As it is a replay of the same day, those in the loops do not physically age. Peculiars can literally live forever in a loop. However, if they leave it, the days spent will eventually catch up with them. If you're over a hundred years old, all those years will eventually catch up with you if you get back into another loop quick enough, usually a few hours. Fountain of Youth- After the Library of Souls collapsed, it created a pool of special water. An old Peculiar who could make it to the pool and bathe in it would have the danger of aging removed. A Peculiar who looked sixteen, but was really nine hundred, would keep their young looks if they bathed. And then they'd be able to age normally outside of a loop. The only ones who know where the Fountain is are Horace and Millard, who dare not take anyone there, because it's now overrun with Hollows, who drink from it. Abaton- A loop of unknown origin where the Library of Souls was located. As far as anyone knows, this loop collapsed and the Library is now unreachable if not destroyed. No one knows what happened. If the Library is still around, one would be met with a dusty old place full of old shelves and urns. In each container is a Peculiar soul. Bigger urns meant stronger souls. These urns are only visible to the Librarians, those like Abraham and Jacob Portman, who had the same Peculiarity. However, only Jacob, out of either of them, made it to Abaton to handle the urns. A soul is visible to everyone, but not if it is in one of these urns. And if you empty it the wrong way, the soul is useless as a puddle of water.

Current Plots Hollowgasts are currently stalking a large loop made by Miss ---, and have been picking off the unfortunate Peculiars. The best option would be to simply leave the loop, but it's too dangerous with all the Hollows around. Near impossible without someone like Jacob or Abe. It is said though, that Peculiars are born with their Peculiarity because it is needed at some point. So those in Miss ---'s loop can only hope someone like the Portmans shows up soon.

Peculiars || Millard Nullings || Male || Real Age: 86 || Age Appearance: 16 || || No physical description || || Peculiarity: Permanent invisibility || || History & Personality WIP || || Smokey Feather || Horace Somnusson ~ Male ~ Peculiarity: Prophetic Dreams ~ {ask to claim} Addison ~ Male ~ Peculiarity: Talking Dog ~ {ask to claim} || Sigil Mayz || Male || Real Age: 27 || Age Appearance: 21 || || Mayz is a taller man with a 6'2 height. Eyes are a darker hazel color, with brown flecks. His skin is a paler white, with multiple scars. The most attention-drawing ones are a jagged slash across his face, and ragged skin on his right arm. His left arm is missing to where it's just a stub. The arm was bitten off by a Hollowgast. (WIP) || || Peculiarity: His is a Passive one. He can store seemingly endless amounts of smoke and mist in his body for whenever he needs it. || || Sigil was born, like most Peculiars, in a normal home. Lived like a normal kid, with caring parents and a decent living. Nothing lasts forever though. He found out about his second soul when he was eight years old. For whatever reason, one day just... inhaled the fumes of the fire pit they had out back. Took the smoke right out of the flames. Nothing came back out of him, because he willed it. Didn't want his parents to see anything he'd done. During dinner though, he sneezed, and sneezed, and sneezed. All the smoke came puffing out. His parents were horrified when he just sucked it all back in though, and kicked him out. Called him a monster that killed their boy. Sigil tried to call them down, to tell them that it was okay, but they didn't buy it. They simply kicked him out, telling him he didn't belong with them. Wasn't normal and to not come back. And that's what he did. Not go back. He left, alone and confused about his new Peculiarity. As years went on, he lived alone and homeless. Stealing food and living in an alleyway. The only brightside was that he grew to like his Peculiarity. Used it to make escapes and to entertain himself. And then, he came across his first Hollowgast when he was twenty-one. While out looking for things left behind in a park, he saw what seemed to be an invisible something feeding on a body. He must've caught its attention, because next thing he knew, he was missing an arm, all out smoke to blow. He was found by Millard, who helped him make his narrow escape from the Hollow. Now, he lives in a safe loop. At first, he was a shy and sweet individual, but after being sent away from his home, he became more independent, confident and friendly. Even after being attacked by a Hollow, he maintained his bright aura. (WIP) || || In Miss ---'s loop || || Family (optional) || Crush (optional) || || Smokey Feather ||

(Okay, then here.)
|| Wendy Rose Anderson || Female || 120 || 16 || || Wendy has dark red hair, deep blue eyes, and skin almost white as snow, though the sun has caused it to dot over with hundreds of freckles. || || Her peculiarity is the ability to see the history of anything she touches. After the visions subside, she can freely touch the item until it has something new to show her. She sees everything, no matter her preference for or against it, and a pretty strong torment for her, as she doesn’t want to know these things. || || She’s quiet, almost completely reserved, though she can explode fear and anger if provoked. If you can get her talking though, she has the tendency to far over share because she keeps so much bottled up. She spent much of her childhood covering herself up to prevent her visions, having no idea why they happened to her and hating them for ruining her life. Then, one day, she was separated from her family. Just as she was attempting to use her power to get back to them, Mrs---- arrived and recognized her as a peculiar. When she learned about why she had her visions, she chose to live in the loop rather than be stuck trying to live with her peculiarity normally. || || Yes, Mrs----‘s loop.|| || Wendy used to have the nuclear family, mom and dad plus a brother and a sister, but they're all probably dead now. || None || || LiliesoftheDawn ||
(Edit: Is that better? I could write a clearer history if I knew when and where the loop was, and who ran it.)
