I'll be the first to admit that I'm awful at maintaining role plays.
it's a known fact, don't question it
but I've been trying to get myself out of a slump if you could call it that. it's complicated. don't question it
and I've been writing about this idea for a while and I'm obsessed with westerns
i have all the information about this role play in the next post because I've been writing it in my solitude for a while, but thought hey, why not bring it to the forums~
it could fail, it could flourish, who knows. who knows.
but a few things I'll say first~
- this is an advanced role play. I don't mean a novel every post, but interesting language, the plot moving, character development, y'know. - this might be a bit more mature? darker themes, darker characters, etc. this isn't a fluffy rp. and that might doom it, but hey, it's a gritty western rp - i'm very bad at the whole role play thing. i know this and will probably need help running it at some points. basically, i'm not a dictator. i'm very bad at it. trust me.
and now onto the role play idea if I haven't scared all of you off c:

claim for idea gimme me a minute also, i'm not great at coding, so like, anyone who is decent, is welcome to help. if you want. i don't think i'm horrible for my simple techniques, but hey, i'll never turn down help~
W e l c o m e T o T h e H o m e s t e a d
cursed. broken. frozen.
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. Mountain ranges beyond compare, waving tower of grass, spiked cacti, and a few singular homes that have stood the test of time. A ghostly town that to the rest of America, doesn't exist. Time moves strangely in this range of town, a fact that the residents just accept. The clouds drift, the saloon doors swing aimlessly, and the curse remains unbroken for another hundred years. Sure, you can think it's 2017 while in the Copperhead, but that doesn't mean it's true. Within a span of acres and acres, where the two rivers connect and split northwards and then trickle into streams, that's the boundary line. Crooked and wavy due to the rivers, and then abruptly going straight across the west bound railroad, this triangle of land has kept it's inhabitants within their own personal western hell for the last hundred years.
To step outside that boundary means hellish death for some, for some it means the unknown and abandoned railways. Only creatures of this earth and hell await any other human. Why does this curse exist? Who knows. Someone probably shot someone's daughter's boyfriend in the barn and a jealous witch cursed them. Who gives a, ah, heck, at this point? It keeps the demons within it, the humans don't have any clue of the outside world, and the government keeps it off grid.
Copperhead is better off staying frozen in 1800.
T h e L a y o u t
While Copperhead isn't quite a normal town, it follows a normal hierarchy structure. One yah better learn quick, or you'll be shot.
HUMANITY -- humans; red blooded and not quite ignorant to the town's other unsavory characters. The humans are pretty much led by three families and while they are technically the wealthiest, the families know where they fall. The Allison family have owned the library, saloon, and almost every business in town since it opened. The Graves family have been the town's leadership, mayors, and government since anyone can remember, and no one can remember why they shouldn't be. Lastly, the Campbell family has kept the ranches running and they own the most amount of land outside of Copperhead's main town. Any other family is most likely related in one way or another to the three families, but no one really cares anymore. The humans are the same passionate, silly creatures they've always been.
WICCA -- witches; salt intolerant and has a little lingering amount of power from the old days. The witches are few and far between, and their help usually comes with a steep price. The witches have been alive so long, their magic is waning. Not enough to break the curse, but they often do mischief. The Eros witches has been screwing with the inhabitants of the town by ways of Shakespearean style love spells, just to pass the time and amuse themselves. The Steele witches has been living with their trains and rails for so long, they're practically metal themselves. And every once in a while, they help move the trains. The rivers give the witches their magic, and keep them from completely withering away. While the witches age slowly, their magic fades over time. The river is the only thing keeping them magical anymore.
DEMONS -- demons; immortal, unlovable, monstrosities. Kinda. You see, about 130 years ago, a gunslinger, outlaw, gang swept into town and murdered a bunch of people. Standard stuff, except the town was protected by a pact that the humans had made with the witches of the era. So, that gang was cursed, or something like that. Now, all of the members of that original gang must live eternally in the arid climate, and let's just say they weren't just cursed to live forever. Many of them have become twisted versions of their evils selves, the curse taking it's toll and wreaking havoc on their humanity. Hating humans is the least of their problems, when they have to worry about stepping out of the boundary, keeping their demonic eyes hidden, and trying to keep their sanity. If they want it at all. The cursed can't hurt the humans or else they'll lose their grip on reality and on their sanity, and would be impossible to stop.
and of course there are rules for the humans... are they even true?
- Never make a deal with a witch, or else you danger your well being and stability [probably true] - Never fall for a demon. Never believe a demon's silvertongue. [false, depends on the demon though] - Keep your copper talismans are your neck at all times. Demons can't handle copper. [100% true] - Stay inside after dark, or else you'll meet a demon and be swayed for evil. [false] - Stay away from the river, or a witch will curse you [false, unless you piss them off] - The rivers keep the witches powerful, so never bathe in the Rattler or Python [true, but bathing would be fine] - Demons shouldn't hurt humans or else they'll begin to lose their grip on reality [true, the cursed shouldn't hurt humans. doesn't mean they won't] - You go out of the border and no one will come find you. Choose wisely if you wish to leave. [true.]
T h e P l o t ish?
So, everyone has been trapped in Copperhead for so long, they all forgot the outside world kind of existed. None of them can step outside of the triangle, anyway. The humans live in Copperhead, and on the plains where they raise their cows and such. The witches live in the Pine Heart near the two rivers; the Rattler and the Python. The demons live deeper in the plains and mountains, hiding as the cursed ones, shunned from humanity, but every so often they'd come down to town and freak out the locals. The locals know there is nothing they can do about the cursed population, but the cursed feel they shouldn't be punished anymore. There are two factions that have divided the cursed demons. One side believes they should just take control of Copperhead and make the humans there slaves and toys to play with. The other side believes they shouldn't lose their humanity so soon, and perhaps try to coexist in harmony with the humans. With the tension brewing, the old rules are starting to crumble. A civil war might be coming and everyone better brush up on their shooting skills when it does come. The side that wishes to enslave humans is called The Slavers and the ones who wish to live peacefully and join the humans are called The Peacemakers.
more to come with input from y'all. it's flexible
T h e C h a r a c t e r s just the general landscape of characters to work with. not every single slot needs to be filled. some are just placeholders for things, I hope that makes sense?
HUMANS - The Allison Family // the owners. Big Albert 'Al' Allison [ saloon owner ], Mama Allison, two daughters - The Graves Family // the leaders. Mayor Levi Graves, two sons - The Campbell Family // the ranchers. Calvin Campbell, Mamie Campbell. kids are older and have families of their own. anyone can really be related to them. - any other humans not related ~
WICCA - The Eros Witches // mischievous witches. three sister witches and their matriarchal ruler; their grammy. red hair marker - The Steele Witches // railroad obsessed, metal eaters. four siblings. two oldest are males, a sister in the middle, and the youngest another boy. stormy gray eyes marker and the habit of gnawing on steel
DEMONS - the outlaws // ideally maybe 12 or 13 cursed? not all need to be rped - the slavers // enslave humans - the peacemakers // coexist peacefully

insert an interesting quote here ;; " Now I've been happy lately Thinking about the good things to come And I believe it could be Something good has begun Oh, I've been smiling lately Dreaming about the world as one "
I will tell you about how I got here. I remember little of the day I was introduced to life as an assassin. My first memory is of crouching in a dark hallway, flinching at the sound of my own breath. I was alone. I was twelve or maybe thirteen at the time, and I remember most distinctly the moonlight that drifted in from the far window. It was not a full moon, and yet I felt as though I was exposed. The light glared down on me like the judgement of God. But I knew what had to be done. My instructions had been clear. I was the only one who could fit through the window from down the stairs. It was my mission and failure would mean certain death. Even so I considered turning back. I brushed my fingertips against the nearest wall, stabilizing my small body. A cloud drifted between me and the moon. The hallway darkened. I rose, strode through the bedroom door, and silently killed the King's Commander as he slept in his bed.

I actually really like it! the only thing I would ask is perhaps to have a lighter background? something more in relation to the orange colors on the black? if that makes sense? perhaps something more neutral?
i hope i make sense

Clarence Miller Graves human / graves family role / 30 / heterosexual
appearance: personality:history:misc: additional information not already mentioned Estella Marie Lloyd demon / slavers looks mid-twenties (25-26), currently 149 / bisexual
cursed effects - her once beautiful, pale lips and now permanently stained red - the color of blood (usually covered by extravagant makeup); In the night, her tongue is forked like a snakes, and her back is covered in snake scales, usually only noticeable in the moonlight and under black light, but also seen in her reflection. on top of this, it would be hard to believe that she was once a kind woman, because now she is dangerously manipulative and conniving, she has the twisted need to feel blood on her skin - and not her own. It's getting harder and harder for her to control this urge.
appearance: essentially, your pretty blonde girl - or at least, she once was. She's tall and lanky, about 5'9" and proud of her height and she's not afraid to rock a pair of heels. She is nearly ghastly, her skin pale and nearing on translucent. Her spine is prominent and her cheekbones are deep and obvious. Her jawline is sharp, almost as sharp as her narrowed eyes. These eyes are the color of stormy skies, with flecks of blue and fading gold around the irises. Makeup is her best friend, she's extremely skilled in its usage. Lipstick and eye shadow are her most used products. Blue is her favorite color to rock, even though it makes her look sick sometimes. Her hair was once long and curly, she once kept it passing her bottom and rarely ever wore it up. Over the past fifty years, however, she has taken to keeping it short, at her neckline, it's curly and probably the most lively thing about her, besides her permanently blood red lips. She still retains a lot of her beauty, her flaws aren't all obvious. Her clothing usually covers her spine and her usage of makeup makes her look less nearing on death, plus the way her hair is, it's often in her face. personality: Estella is not afraid to get her hands dirty, she doesn't need minions to do her bidding, she's scary enough on her own. She's cruel and said to be heartless. On top of all this, she is still rather charming, her sharp grin and usage of seductive language make her a player in her own right. history: not much is told of her history. it is rumored that she was once a girl born to a poor family who let greed and lust corrupt her soul. misc: loves the witch aesthetic - not necessarily witches, though.
