Fernway (Magic/Adventure RP, OOC & Sign-ups [REBOOT]) CLOSED

Postby Aona » Thu Apr 28, 2016 7:57 pm

Ahh, summer. The best time to be a kid. Everyone enjoys the incredible memories summer brings: camping, hot dogs, staying out late with your friends. And in the small village of Fernway, where the only way into the nearest city is a 50-mile train ride, you have friends aplenty. You would have to, really. You've lived here all your life; you can't even remember the last time you left. Each summer is usually the same; wasted with no regrets, just like the last. However, this summer is different. This summer, Fernway has a new resident, a grizzled old man who arrived under mysterious circumstances. He's brought very few possessions, save for an ancient-looking wardrobe, locked tightly at all times, a desk, and a briefcase that seems to be packed to the brim. Nobody knows anything about him, other than his enigmatic name: Mr. A.

[i]Soon enough, however, you'll find you and your friends embarking on a journey across Fernway and beyond. You will encounter not only curious people, and curious organizations, but also receive a taste of the thrill of adventure...and maybe even the paranormal.


Have a good holiday!

~a roleplay byImage



Hey! Do you like Gravity Falls? How about Earthbound? Aliens? Wizards? Ghosts, or even monsters in general? If you like any of those things, you will see all of them here! Hey, I'm Aona, and welcome to the new-and-improved Fernway! This roleplay follows a group of kids, aged anywhere from 11-14, and their journeys over the course of one summer. Their pursuit? To uncover the secrets of a mysterious new neighbor, who has moved into their poor working-class village. This roleplay aims to act as not only a fun adventure story, but also a tale of monsters and magic. Throughout the course of the story, the kids will have to discover clues, talk to a slew of interesting characters (many of which I might allow to be played by you!), explore hidden and dangerous places, and occasionally even outsmart/outfight some of the things they run into.

Characters can pursue the main narrative, but also go off on their own and create new plotlines and stories! With a near-infinite number of mystical and magical creatures at your disposal, there's no limit to the craziness that can occur!

Obviously due to the younger age of the characters played in this story, the roleplay will take a lighthearted approach to narration. However, this doesn't mean that some dramatic, emotional, or downright terrifying things won't occur....you'll just have to wait and find out exactly what I mean ;)

- Playing a younger adolescent may start out very simple and energetic, but through timeskips or shenanigans the characters will age much quicker than normal. This allows us to watch them grow up and develop as characters, growing dimension as the story progresses!
- Be unique, diverse, and interesting! No great story was ever made with a bland character.
- Create relationships! The other characters are your good friends, feel free to form romances, hatreds, and friendships with the other RP'ers!
- The story will go through many twists and turns. While some things may not make sense now, they will be explained eventually, don't worry! There's plenty of secrets to keep you on your feet!
- Feel free to be funny! Even though there are some serious moments, humor is more than welcome here!
- None of the cardinal RP'ing sins (Godmodding, Metagaming, etc)
- Follow my word, and what I say. If I give someone power, please respect said power.
- No one-liners.
- Respect your fellow RP'ers. If you have an argument, ask me to settle it.
- If you are leaving the RP, please let me know first. The same goes for temporary absences.
- Keep the characters aged 11-14, please.

Lost on ideas for what character to create? Need more nuance in their personality? Enjoy doing required RP gimmicks for Aona's happiness? Try the Personality Quiz!

This is a short 13-question quiz, meant to be answered In-Character, that will determine future events that transpire in the RP. The result of the quiz will be posted in the 'Path' section of your app. This quiz is mandatory. As stated previously, it also is a great way to discover more about your character!

The quiz can be found HERE.



Application Process:
*clears throat and begins Character Select music*
Code: Select all
[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Gender/Sexuality:[/b]
[b]Age:[/b]
[b]Personality:[/b]
[b]Appearance:[/b]
[b]Current Life:[/b]
[b]Path:[/b]
[b]Likes|Dislikes:[/b]
[b]RP Example:[/b]


What These Mean:
Name: Obvious.
Gender/Sexuality: Non-binary genders are allowed! While sexuality is often an exploratory topic at these ages, we'll assume that each character is sure of their sexuality from the get-go. It is optional to include, but recommended.
Age: Again, 11-14, please.
Personality: Give a brief paragraph about what makes your character unique. What quirks do they have? Are they trustworthy? Create someone who is both flawed and sympathetic!
Appearance: A picture is preferred, but not necessary.
Current Life: What does their life look like at the moment? Where in Fernway do they live?
Path: See the spoiler above regarding the Personality Quiz.
Likes|Dislikes: What do they enjoy? Conversely, what do they hate?
RP Example: If you're from Varsity Row, or I have RP'd with you in the past, ignore this entry.



My App:

Name: Rita Zabinsky
Gender/Sexuality: Female, Pansexual
Age: 13
Personality: Rita is crafty, creative, and never one to back down from a challenge. While she may appear shy and untalkative at first, she is simply taking in the information around her, and figuring out how to process it. Once she is comfortable in her surroundings, however, there is very little that can stop her. Rita is a leader, though occasionally an ineffectual one; there is nothing she loves more than an audience. Around her friends and family, she is perky, friendly, and sarcastic. Rita is an artist that is constantly changing her craft, and will often change her appearance through her hair as she works on projects, either to capture the attention of others or herself. It's difficult to tie down her hobbies, which can switch from painting to boxing to everything in between.

Rita is a perfectionist, and often beats herself up for not being good enough. No matter how talented or admired her work is, she will always find flaws with it, and will change it endlessly until it fits her mind's eye. This can result in accidentally meddling too much in her own affairs and in others, due to a feeling of inadequacy. At the end of the day, however, Rita is a bright young girl who can inspire herself and others around her once she learns to accept things the way they are.

Appearance:
Image

Current Life: Rita has lived with her grandfather "Greasy" her entire life. As the town's mechanic, he has taught Rita the basics of how to work the shop in order to one day inherit it from him. In the meantime, Rita is happy spending time with her friends, and participating in her dozens of hobbies that change incredibly quickly.
Path: The Artist
Likes|Dislikes: Likes: Painting, Hair Dye, Colors, Flowers, Mystery Novels, Puzzles
Dislikes: School, Feeling Confined, People with no sense of humor, Bland food
RP Example: N/A

Hmm, gonna enjoy taking the quiz bit! Gotta plan out some characters first though, get a general idea of how to approach this small town...

Arty apparently takes the path of the Conqueror, about 77% match.

Elizabeth surprisingly took the same path with about 54%. I was not really expecting her to be that. I wish I could see what she was closest to second. I might toy around with her character a little more to see if she gets another path.

I love the idea of a small town though where there's just this small gang of kids making their own adventures to while away the summer and then a mysterious magical one actually chances upon them!

Name: Isaac Nadir
Gender/Sexuality: Male, Heterosexual
Age: 14
Personality: Highly intelligent, though sensitive about his intelligence, introverted, and naturally curious. His introversion comes from a number of factors, firstly from the fact that interacting with large groups of people mentally tires him, secondly from the great value he gives other people's opinions, which drives him to isolate himself for fear of embarrassing himself in some way, and thirdly from the fact that his interests and hobbies (mostly reading) naturally lend themselves to solitude. He's something of a stoic due to this, though once he sees an inroad towards the possibility of being "cool" or otherwise more accepted, he can quickly become excitable and generally awkward. Overall, not very good at interacting with people, though in a one-on-one conversation with someone he knows about a topic that he considers himself knowledgeable, he's a commanding presence.

He views himself as one of the most intelligent children in the town, which to a certain extent is driven by his insecurity and a feeling of obligation to "make up for" his more-lacking social/athletic/creative/etc. skills. Not that he'd ever admit that to anyone, least of all himself. He also has great ambitions for the future, hoping to be a great "thinker" of some kind, though he hasn't narrowed it down to any specific field. Naturally good at pattern recognition, he enjoys solving puzzles or finding an underlying logic where there doesn't appear to be one.

Overall, probably an INTP.
Appearance: The guy on the left, minus the scar.
Current Life: Living with his parents (only child) in a upper-middle-class lifestyle, with two or three friends that indirectly connect him to the larger social circle. His main hobby is reading, and he is currently in the process of discovering that more literature exists beyond the small island that is Young Adult, though he doesn't understand a lot of it. He is also beginning to discover that being "intelligent" isn't the only thing you need to succeed academically, and that he's severely lacking in the other necessary areas.
Path: The Analyst (Took the test with a character in mind, he got "The Analyst", fleshed out character, took the test again to ensure the result was consistent with the new stuff I added, he got "The Analyst" again.)
Likes|Dislikes:
Likes: Reading, being on his own, discovery, puzzles, mysteries, math, action movies & superheroes (the latter two he mostly keeps quiet about, unless someone else expresses an interest in them)
Dislikes: Being in large groups for extended periods, questions he can't answer, people telling him what to do without explaining why, not being the smartest person in the room, math (yes, that's intentional)
RP Example: I would like to provide you with an RP sample, but I am cruelly crippled by the twin misfortunes of "not having participated in the IC of any RPs recently" and "being a bit lazy". I think you know me well enough to know I'm a good RPer, right?

Definitely know you well enough, accepted!

And I have a massive list of sites to use for potential character appearances, honestly. This one was from Pinterest, I think? character designs were like 65%of the reason I got an account there tbh

If you'd like to provide a description, I can probably find a few different ideas for you? :)

That's a pretty major margin, yeah. I'm glad that the quiz is somewhat unpredictable, though!

I agree for sure! That idea was one of the big inspiration points behind the story....and an adventure it will be ;)

Name: Rei Heisten
Gender/Sexuality: Male - Demisexual
Age: 13
Personality: Ever the quiet one of the brood, Rei looks innocent and fragile to most. This leads to people underestimating him and with other people not minding him, he has learned various personal information that would be handy. He has a volatile temper that he suppreses everytime yet some people knew of this trait and coupled with his outcast personality, he is mostly not approached.

When he got into arguments, he doesn't resort to physical assaults but on the emotional state of his enemy. Being unattended and neglected by his parents for most of his childhood, he knew that he can only rely on himself, and most people are tools even himself. He is of course capable of having friends yet most just either don't like him or avoid his temperament. He is also easily engrossed on books, and can finish a whole book series for 3 days when he is interested enough. He is also hard to scare but easy to surprise. He doesn't like to move about too much, he is asthmatic since he is a baby.
Appearance: Image
Current Life: His parents are always not home due to work, his grandmother is the only one who he can call his true family. His family is financially stable thanks to his parents' efforts, unlike his emotional state. He's into the fantasy and horror genre, just knowing and liking the works of Lovecraft. His life is pretty plain as he doesn't really want to shine. His grades are just quite above average and his circle of friends is quite small. Yet there are the only ones who knew and understand him through and through. He is also asthmatic thus his disdain for physical labor.
Path: The Oracle
Likes|Dislikes:
Likes:
•Sweet and spicy food
•Books
•Nice clothes
•Iced tea
•Night time
•Dogs
•The smell of sanitary alcohol

Dislikes:
•People not appreciating him
•Dirty places and mud
•Smoke
•Manual work
•Waking up early
•Being forced to socialize
RP Example: I'll put it on later. I'm too lazy to find a good one

Name: Ross MacLeod
Gender/Sexuality: Ummm...sorta' ambigious right now - he says he straight, but he has never shown any interest in the girls of his town (I plan to develop his sexuality throughout the RP)
Age: 13
Personality: Marshal is very calm, free-spirited, funny and nice. He thrives in a group situation and loves to be around friend - he gets bored after a while of being alone and has concocted numerous hobbies to keep himself from getting bored (and by default being forced to finish his chores.) He is a sweet guy, and is not particularly sassy, obstreperous or rebellious. He is not passive in an argument, rather just calm and collected. It is a rarity to see him angry or even raise his voice. He doesn't like hurting animals and won't hunt. He likes to lounge around and doesn't take much initiative to get his chores done on his own (because he is not very good at them and doesn't particularly enjoy them.)

He is sensitive, but not around his friends - he only expresses this side of him to his mother. He adores his mother, and wants to protect her from their father. He is not particularly intelligent but smart enough, but gets good enough grades (B- to B-) range, though he does really well in Math. His English is very "country." He is a very skilled fiddle, bagpipe, harmonica, banjo and guitar player and is the "musical guy" of the town. He is a sort-of-jock, and likes to play football, soccer and baseball but he doesn't devote too much time to athletic pursuits.

He deeply resents his father, who is emotionally abusive to him and his siblings and sometimes (though not often) is physically abusive to his mother. He would rather just keep his head down when dealing with his father, but lately more and more he is speaking out against his father - even talking back. He has gotten a slap for that lately and is still conflicted on how he feels he should act. He has a need to get out of the small town and away from his parents - he wants to get out of his current socioeconomic status and make a life for himself. He wants to save his mother, and give her a better life, much too his own heartbreak.
Appearance: Ponnny
Current Life: He lives with his parents, his two brothers, and two sisters on their farm. Their farm is nice, but not very profitable - as they only really sell to Fernway and the surrounding area. His parents are religious and conservative. His father is prone to anger, and alcoholic, hyper-masculine and very "traditional," while his mother is sweet and sensitive, with a strong sense of duty (hence why she doesn't get divorced.) He and his siblings are constantly walking on eggshells, making sure not to set their father off. Though their life is not all sorrow, when their father is off doing something his mother and siblings sneak quick times of pure unadulterated happiness. Sometimes their father will be in a good mood - it is all very confusing.
Path: The Vagabond
Likes|Dislikes:
  • Likes - music, football, soccer, baseball, spending times with friends, swimming, running in the forest, fishing, reading, milk, chocolate, cheesecake, animals, dancing, boys (secretly hint:hint)

So, anyone interested in having their character be one of Isaac's two or three friends?

He's gonna be something, that's for sure ;)

Rita would enjoy the ability to be the one doing the chitchat/the shared affinity for puzzles, so I'm in :D

I'd hope he was at least on friendly terms with the other kids, though. Most of them belong to the kinda "We all like each other and hang out, and have smaller pockets of best friends" type community. As a loose group, they hang out often.

This is going to be interesting - not sure if I want to play up the abusive father or not, maybe make it more of a side plot. Thoughts?
