" The divine is full of monsters; incandescent giants that lick their gold teeth, whose mouths are full of crumbling cities, who breathe death and fire and revelation and madness while diamonds crack like splinters of bone between their gums. "
Introduction Magnolia, South Carolina, is a town people spend their entire lives leaving, a place warped beneath the sundry heat, the summer air heavy and suffocating. Between moments where time seems to crawl like the stuttering hands of a grandfather clock, there's history there in its rickety old houses and asphalt streets. It's a place so far removed from the urban sprawl, you can stare into the infinite darkness of the night sky and count every star, every faraway flicker of light. But once in a while, the stars blink out, and the stories seem more like remnants of a forgotten prophesy than myth. There's something terrible buried beneath the mountain mist and fog, lost below the mangled roots of century old forests. Ancient voices whisper through the veil, gaslight eyes reflected in the the smooth blackness of still waters, the rattling sighs of sleeping behemoths breaking against the twilight. It's an echo, faint like static, the promise of magic and monsters, and you can't help but answer its call.
Plot Magnolia is an eerily tranquil place, yet the air hangs with a strange tension as if someone was holding his breath. The excessively brutal murder of the town's teenage beauty queen shatters that silence, causing the town's inhabitants to distrust and fear each other like never before. But in a place such as this, where everybody holds some kind of secret, will they find the monster within them? Note: the murder was committed by a creature of The Fade, which was accidentally released by a human dreamer. But, mere humans wouldn't be able to know.
The Fade The Fade exists just past the reality humans know, the realm of the supernatural and magic. It lies just past an inky shroud of darkness, static-like from faulty reception for any psychic or witch who's wandered too far from their physical bodies. Dreamers know this: the fade has many faces. It's a world that bends to the mind, where walkers can shape its skies, its harrowed landscapes. They can hold in their hands the impossible, dream-things that defy the natural order of the world. However, what dreamers create and magicians alter, fragments of The Fade are unmade. It's a balancing act, a give and take, and in that unmaking, what's left is residual magic still soaked in the user's will, their intention caught like reverberating echoes. These are the architects of The Fade, able to emulate what they see from the memories of the souls they imbibe, from the minds of mortal dreamers. They copy locations, objects, people and concepts of the real world, often in cruel or confusing ways. The structures shift and change at whim, a landscape constantly rearranging, caught in a war between dreamers and their own personal nightmares. These nightmares, empowered by the abundant spare magic, escape The Fade through careless dreamers who've left the door to their consciousness ajar, but there are other methods too, gaps in the veil, breaches of an origin not yet known. Once through, they prey on those touched by the fade, magic users and dreamers alike. They're starved things, hungry to feel a living pulse between their teeth, to dig their jaws into the warmth of the dying. (Monster descriptions are pending.) Magnolia is where The Fade blurs into the physical world, the manifestation of that delicate seam, a thread pulled taut and fraying at the edges. It's where magic spills, unrestrained and uninhibited, into a town steeped in greed, its bloodlines hungry for the promises of old: a limitless well, the same power the first of their kind sought beneath the mountains and forests of South Carolina.

Notes This was designed to be a supernatural thread, with our characters possessing powers or identities they might have never known they even had. These supernatural beings can include shapeshifters, witches, wizards, fairies, vampires, werewolves, and angels (any others ought to be requested prior to joining). However, one character has to a human dreamer, one with the ability to see, enter, and manipulate The Fade. This small group will grow no larger than five individuals, and they are to be aged similarly to juniors or seniors in high school (between 16 to 19 years old).
Rules Basically, follow the Forum Rules. That's basically it. As far as activity goes, each person must post a reply a minimum of once a week. Since this is designed to be a rather sophisticated, advanced thead, fast replies aren't a must. Oh--I didn't mention this until now, but this is an advanced thread. Inexperienced roleplayers are strongly discouraged from joining.

Members (3 of 5 spots are available)
sunpathEzekiel ("Z") Ben Haim // Nephilim // Male // 18 // Bisexual One could easily call Ezekiel an attractive young man, but in a somewhat ordinary sense, since he has no real extraordinarily rare physical traitsโthat is, if you canโt see his wings, which most humans canโt. He stands at roughly 6โ2โ, making him somewhat taller than the average adult male. However, heโs as thin as a rail with a lanky frame due to his fast metabolism, but he does have some modest slender muscle on his arms and abs, most notably. And, almost embarrassingly, the rest of his traits are stereotypically Hebrew. Ezekiel has wild dark brown hair that curls and frizzes into a modest, shoulder-length afro (though he often ties it back in a small bun or ponytail, since it gets in his eyes rather often). His are a light brown, almost amber hue, and his skin is tanned rather nicely due to long days in the sun. His skin is also mostly free from blemishes, but like any young adult, heโs prone to getting a spot of acne every once in a while. Overall, he projects a rather nonthreatening image, and heโs someone your mother would encourage you to take to homecoming. Most likely, if youโve had even a small encounter with Ezekiel, youโll find that heโs one of the nicest people you could meet. He is known for his constant generosity and kindness, and heโll do literally almost anything for a total strangerโthereโs very little he wonโt do for his family and friends. Heโs got a pure heart and generally assumes the best in people, making him somewhat naรฏve. Ezekiel is one of those individuals that just radiates positivity and happiness, with a contagious smile and laugh; when heโs having a bad day, itโs very easy to tell, since his trademark wide smile wonโt be there. Heโs extremely loyal and devoted to those he cares about, but ironically, heโs a bit awkward and shy in social settings. He wonโt be one to start a conversation, but will talk his head off once you engage him. He also, strangely enough, has a serious side, especially when working on a task, and wonโt quit until itโs completed. Ezekiel is a Nephilim, a half angel, half human being, meaning that his powers arenโt quite as powerful as a normal angelโs; however, he does possess enormous power, and theyโre often more volatile and very difficult to control. Firstly, he has enhanced strength and reflexes, making him faster and more agile than your average human. He also has an extraordinary gift for empathy, and from time to time, he has the ability to read minds: like his other abilities (teleportation and healing), this one comes and goes, and he has difficulty summoning it on demand. Theyโre usually brought on by intense social situations or feelings, such as rage or depression. The only power he can really control well is the manifestation of his wings, which are enormous and soft white in color. Ezekiel was born in Jerusalem, Israel, to a single Israeli human mother. His father is an angel who, against their creed, developed a romantic relationship with his mother after saving her life. When Ezekiel was born, he vanished, and hasnโt been seen by him or his mother since. The two moved to the United States when violence in their country escalated dramatically in the past few years, and decided to settle in South Carolina due to the extraordinarily low cost of living. However, they were unaware of the prejudice they would face in a place such as Magnolia, so they mostly spend their time with each other (which only worsens their reputation as social outcasts). Ezekielโs mother has been the only one to help him navigate his powers as they appear, so itโs not surprising that he has very little control and development of them. Ezekiel hopes to be in a profession where he can directly help people. He fears his powers, to an extent, and the possibility of meeting other, not as friendly, supernaturals. He also fears the capabilities The Fade, as he accidentally traversed it one time and witnessed the nightmare of a dreamer.
Larx Minori Akane // type of being: Kitsune // Female // 18 // Bisexual Minori as a kitsune looks like an Arctic Fox having puffy white fur all around her large build. She is quite large looking, and has nine tails behind her. However this form isn't her normal form she likes to take part in using. No her main form is that of a elegant young female. She stands around 5'6" in height, and has a athletic body build. She has a very sly, and sharp looking face. She has a pair of amber snake like eyes that are always in an almost glare look. However while her eyes might tend to be locked in a glare most of the time her thin bright pink lips are always locked in a smile. Her hair is the same color as her fox's fur, a snowy white. The hair is normally tied in a short, but bushy ponytail. On the sides she has two small braids of hair line each side giving off a princess like hairstyle. However this hairstyle is normally buried under a hood as her fox ears stay even in her human form, along with her bushy white tail which she normally hides within her outfit. Her tail, and ears led her not many options for clothing so she tends to wear a white cloak nearly all the time with the hood covering her face. The cloak she uses to hide her kitsune features is normally excused by saying she's bring back a new fashion style. However sometimes when she feels the need to wear something normal she'll put on a white dress along with a big floppy flower girl type hat. As a fox her tails count to nine, but as a human it's merely a single tail. Personality wise Minori is quite a strange duck, or in this case fox. No one really knows what she's like because she pretends to be different around different people. If she around her true friends she'll show her true self. A cruel, merciless predator. She is a sly fox truthful the kind of monster to play games with her prey. However when she is around new people she acts like an elegant princess. Mature, and intelligent the kind of girl who was a mystery to everyone. She's also quite rude to people when they anger her. She never openly get anger, but is more a passive agressive lady. She loves to play the role of the nice melovent fox spirit, but in truth she is the kind of kitsune you read in horror stories. The kind who hunt down their prey for fun, and play mind games with nearly everyone. However deep down she just craves attention, and feels playing the mean girl will get her just that, attention. Minori's powers include never aging, speed, ability to make illusions, being able to switch into a fox, breathing ice like a dragon does fire, and wisdom from old age. Minori was born a kitsune, and raised as Kitsune most of her life. Since kitsune's age very slowly it took a while before her parents decided she was ready to try the human world which was what she was currently doing. She looks like she's 18, but has been alive for about 1,000. It took 1,000 years before her parents felt she was ready to be released into pretending to be a human girl. Like most kitsunes she can choose what physical age she looks like, and Minori ended up choosing the form of eighteen as she felt it let her fit in more with the humans. While living as a human her parents were hunted, and killed a mere 100 years ago. Minori has quite a few fears. Losing her life is the biggest one she doesn't like to fight her own battles freely. She is scared of being close to someone as she fears losing people since both her parents were hunted, and killed. She is fearful of hunters, and most of all her biggest fear is someone pulling on her tail. Minori's dream is simply to outlast her parents in age. She wishes to become the oldest, and smartest kitsune ever.

(Quick question do they live in the fade, or Magnolia? Also do the supernatural hide themselves, or just open about it? I just want to know because I'm curious if my kitsune character should hide their ears, and tail while being a human.)

Post by โ sแดษดแดแดแดส on Sept 5, 2016 21:24:44 GMT -5
ah, sorry, i should've been more specific. they all live in Magnolia, though they can enter The Fade as much as they like (it's not recommended, though, since there's a lot of spookiness in there that i'll def include later) and the supernatural keep themselves hidden. Magnolia is a rather stereotypical Southern town, with prejudices and fears of the unknown
