So, I was wondering if anyone was interested in this kind of rp? I'm thinking either a group of children and their Ymbryne in a loop, or a group living like the kids from the book before the bombing, just in a hard to reach place so they're safe without the loop. Either way, we'd probably roleplay a few days of them being in this safe place until there's a reason they have to leave/a threat they can deal with at home.
I'm open to help from anyone, though I'd obviously prefer at least a person or two who has read the books. If you haven't read them, here's a quick run down of the main plot you'd need to know to rp this.
Hidden among the normal people of the world, there is a smaller group who call themselves 'peculiar.' Peculiar people each possess a strange power, often inconvenient at first, and only really helpful after they've learned to control it. These peculiar people are lead by a council of peculiar women, all of whom have the same power, the ability to turn into a bird. This ability comes with an added control over time, allowing them to replay moments on an endless loop. These women are called ymbrynes, and are each named after the type of bird they can turn into, and most often protect the peculiar children, as many are born to normal people and thrown out of their homes because normal people have become quite hostile to peculiar people over the years. They use their abilities over time to play one day on endless repeat, called a 'loop.' Peculiar people often travel between loops, which is rather dangerous, as spending more than a couple of days outside of a loop causes them to revert to the age they should be, aging up years in only a matter of hours. Of course, even with these disadvantages, peculiar people still have a strong culture and community.
So is anyone interested?
I'd love all the help pulling this together I can get.

Things that need to be done - (Everything posted can still be changed.)
- Rules.
- As always, follow the forum rules.
- I'd prefer that everyone roleplay at least twice a week, but I understand being busy, so just warn me before any extended absences.
- LGBT+ characters are completely fine.
- While I have nothing against in character conflicts, I expect everyone to get along out of character.
- Try to have at least a three to four sentences in your posts, though I understand if you can't do this all the time, as everyone has writer's or rper's block sometimes.
- Please try to keep characters realistic. Not every character can be perfect, nor can everyone have the most useful power.
- Description form.
|| Name || Physical Age || Peculiarity || Description || Personality || History (Include actual age, with any time spent in a loop, even if their age has been 'reset') || Other || Screen Name || - Setting Description. (Location of the loop/safe haven and the places the children are allowed to go to.)
- Beginning Plot.
- Layout. (I'll get on that.)
- Intro Paragraph
- Description of possible peculiarities. (More like a guide that describes some of the ones from the book to give rpers a feel for what would and wouldn't be a peculiarity.)
