How many ships are there are now?

I don't know...

I kind of want Jessalyn to find some true love or another(possibly so I can destroy it later), but all the eligible guys are either uninterested or taken...

Well there is just a vexing dragon girl who's quite lonely.
She enjoys long walks on the beach, baking and cooking, and devouring the souls of the living to add to her ever growing undead army.

She hails from parts unknown, her birthdays the 5th of June, and she loves kittens. So please, consider this bachelor...bachelorette.

We do need a map, don't we? Maybe we should have realm/ kingdom applications as well.

Id really just liked this to be a character RP and not get into the kingdom apps. Its more of a fairytale, not a historical period RP.

This looks very interesting. I know that you're already quite far in, but I really liked this character idea.

Name: Alice "The Midnight Girl"
Age: Unknown (Depending on who you ask, she may have been around for three or four decades.)
Gender: Female
Appearance:
(Apologies for the lack of images.)
The Midnight Girl generally takes on one of two forms: that of a girl roughly ten years of age, or that of a girl in her mid-to-late teens. Regardless of her current form, she generally maintains similar features. She has middling-length black hair with uneven bangs that are long enough on one side to reach below her nose, light skin, and deep blue eyes. She usually wears a ragged, dark-colored dress and little else, not even shoes.

Under the light of the moon, she undergoes a slight visual transformation. Her hair, eyes, and even her clothes seem to glow an eerie blue. To those who have heard the rumors, this glow is a warning of her identity.
Personality:
The Midnight Girl enjoys meeting with and speaking to new and interesting people. This said, she can actually be quite shy, rarely appearing in large groups. It's said that she is rarely seen in town until she has met most of the inhabitants, although that might be chalked up to no one noticing her until they know her. She also seems more timid around armored people and nonhumans.

Apart from this, she can be very inquisitive and friendly, particularly in her child form. As a teen, she can tend to be a bit more aloof and thoughtful. Either way, when she puts her mind to something, she can be quite single-minded, as can sometimes be seen when preparing gifts for people.

Relatively few things really upset her. Among them are people who try to use or assault her. She can become particularly violent when pressed, although such people usually find themselves on the short(er) end of the gift stick.

As a final note, she does usually seem to be more active during the night.
Occupation: Midnight Girl
Bio:
The Midnight Girl is a fairly recent apparition, only appearing in the rumors of a certain town in the last couple of decades. It's said that a villager wandered upon her in a clearing one moonlit night, and was taken in conversation with her. It is said that this exchange is how she came to be called "Midnight Girl". This continued the next night, and the next, and so on, until one day, she offered the villager a gift for taking the time to speak with her. He accepted, as what she offered was a prize beyond anything he had ever seen. Soon after, he was never seen in town again.

More eventually sought her out, looking for gifts of similar wonder. However, the more people she gifted, the more her gifts were seen as curses. The stream of people who would speak with her began to dry up.

Eventually, a warning about her was spread throughout the village, such that it became difficult to pass through without hearing it.

"Do not talk to the Midnight Girl. Those who she speaks with are almost surely cursed. Do not mention your needs or desires to the Midnight Girl, or you will surely with you had neither. Do not accept gifts from the Midnight Girl. They will bring you to ruin."

While it is rumored that she is immortal (thanks to a few particularly unlucky individuals who tried to dodge her gift with a blade and got a new one in return) it is whispered that she can be killed by having her give "the gift she would not give". What this gift might be, along with who might be doing the whispers are nearly unknown, given that this has not made it into the general rumors.

It is also whispered, in similar fashion, that she is capable of walking seemlessly between nearby unobserved areas, and that only, her immortality, and her ability to transform are her only real magical abilities.
Theme song: TBD
RP Example:
A soft knock on the door announced the girl's arrival. She shifted slightly as she waited for a response, adjusting the covered bundle she held under her arm. A present for the couple inside.

She hoped that they would like their gift. She hadn't had a particularly good track record these past few years. Tucking a strand of hair behiind her ear, she briefly kept herself occupied by thinking of how many people had stopped responding to her when she wanted to talk.

All the more reason to hope that this couple liked their present.

A light appeared from inside, and the door opened. The glow of a candle bathed her features, nearly overpowering the effect of the moon's glow on her hair and eyes.

She gave a sweet smile to the elderly man at the door, and they exchanged greetings. He quickly invited her inside. He and his wife tried not to show it, but the girl noticed they always seemed quite unnerved to see her outside at night.

The man brought her into the parlor and went to rouse his wife. The girl took a seat, placing the gift on her lap as she waited. She always was comfortable in this house. The couple seemed comfortable, as well. They always likened her to their own daughter. For this reason, she always kept her child form around them.

The present shifted slightly in her lap as the couple entered the room. She stood up as they took their seats, unwrapping the gift and holding it out to them. They quickly stood up again.

The warm smiles on their faces were quickly replaced with looks of horror. There was very suddenly a lot of crying. She had to shift quite a bit to keep her hold on the gift. She didn't know why she bothered. They clearly didn't want it.

She sighed, walking over to the window and throwing the gift out with the rest of the garbage. Much of the crying stopped. She thanked the couple for their time, expressed her wish to see them again, and wished them goodnight. They replied with horrified stares, mouths agape. She had to let herself out.

She paused briefly to look back. The couple, who had just moments before rejected her gift, was looking out the window frantically, as though trying to find it.

She just didn't understand people sometimes.
Alternatively, here, but I figured this would be a better warmup. I'm a bit rusty.

Potentially more information forthcoming. There is more to her bio than just the Midnight Girl rumors.

A quick question about the magic in this RP, is there a selected types of magic here or is this also another aspect of us making up our own fairytales?

I'm just not sure where the Mistwood forest is, so I'm gonna assume its at least near the coast. So Titus is in it, along with his group of Peak Human beastmen.

I think we can safely add Loken X Daria


hmmmm interesting... I'll have him pining for her like a puppy from now on.

NEXT on the shipping channel! Will Loken finally find the one? :)

Or will his heart be torn asunder by the beautiful elf princess Daria. :(

You know, I have been wondering if my character has some event or series of events in his past that crippled his self-confidence and turned him into a fragile soul. Perhaps he had a mentor who appreciated him for who he was but who suffered an untimely death (likely by assassination). Or perhaps he fled from a battle that had scared the living daylights out of him and now everyone in his kingdom thinks he is a coward.

Or, better yet, he fled from a battle which resulted in the death of his mentor because he or she was left behind unprotected.

Hahaha he can try, but he'll probably get a big old "F*** You", unless he goes about it sneakily.

And by the way my character still doesn't know your real name, just so that you don't get confused when I refer to him as Jace.
