1)Storyline(1
Millenia ago, when mankind was still in it's infancy, the various races of the fae lived among humanity. Humanity, in fact, was once a species of fairy, before it turned to technology instead of magic to provide sustenance for itself.
As humanity began to leave the fairies to build towns and cities, a power vacuum arose among the fairy races, and eventually the infighting resulted in two courts emerging - Seelie and Unseelie.
In the beginning, they were both still in contact with humanity. Neither of the courts truly appreciated humanity, but Seelie fae were more tolerable towards humans. Sure, the Seelie court was somewhat cruel and malicious, and oftentimes some of it's members would slaughter humans out of sheer boredom, but they were nowhere near as malicious as the Unseelie fae.
Eventually, though, humans advanced significantly enough in their technology to pose a threat to both courts of fairy, and so they slowly stopped contacting humans until, some time seven thousand years ago, not a human alive had actually met a fairy.
They continued to live on in myths and legends, though, and occasionally once every few hundred years or so a Pixie or a Sprite may come along to help some human with something. These encounters are often deemed to be simply the tales told by drunken sailors or people seeking attention, and as such fairies managed to remain hidden.
However, thousands of years of constant warfare is beginning to come to a conclusion. In one last ditch effort to save the war for themselves, the Seelie fae decided to reveal themselves to humanity. Although the humans and Seelie fae haven't generally gotten along well in the past, the Seelie have made this contact in the hopes that humanity will serve it's own best interests and defeat the unseelie court.
2)Fairy Mythology(2
Through history, fairies, or fae, have been recognized in many forms. Pixies, sprites, gnomes and so on. These fairies have never been seen other than the paintings which show our thoughts as humans on what fae look like. The reason being they, until the war, would never show themselves.
They would destroy, in hiding. Fairies performed disasters in ways that would seem natural. People dying of causes such as illness, which were really the cause of the fae.
For ages, they remained in hiding, existing in the fantasy universes of stories and such things. They were the very dreams of children, but they failed to see both the good and bad. However, children often grew up and came to an acceptance, there were no fae, only angels and demons. They still remained as possibilities to some though. They would become religious creatures to embody angels and demons on Earth.
3)Races(3
Sylphs: Elemental faries whom live in the air. They are one of the four elemental races of fairy, being within and somewhat controlling the air. They are connected with breathing, wind, and other things of the sort.
Gnomes: Hard minded beings who often live underground or in earthy places such as caves or mines. They move through earth as easily as a human would air. They are generally reluctant towards human interaction, and often would prefer to bring them bad things if they were to interact.
Undines: Rather feminine beings who spend most of their time in the water. They are said to be beautiful and have delightful singing voices. These beings do not have a soul, and their only hope is marrige with a human, which is quite hard during the time in which fae were not yet revealed to the world.
Pixies: Small, mischevious fairies who are a bit childish in their views on life. Supposedly, they are what becomes of a young child dying, a "trickster" with an elf like appearance (pointy eared, light coloured outfits, etc.) They are rather whimsical and enjoy dancing, helping people, and yet pulling pranks.
Nymphs: Exceptionally beautiful feminine creatues who reside throughout nature. They often serve as servants, or something of the sort, to other mythological beings. They would also be targetted by other beings seeking "pleasure".
Sprites: Small yet visible creatures who can be confused with either exotic plants or insects at first. Much like Pixies, they have childishly playful and obnoxous personalities, and have quite short attention spans. They do not like boring, however too much of a challenge will likely frustrate them and cause them to leave to the next interesting thing they see.
4) Rules (4
1) Use common sense. 2) If you're roleplaying something with someone else in this and the other person is uncomfortable roleplaying it, respect their wishes. 3) Break ROBLOX rules at your own risk. 4) If we forgot to mention a species of fairy, please do mention it. If it's common enough, you won't even need to provide a description for those of us too lazy to do research. However, no making stuff up, I emplore you.

Can players be human, or are only fae allowed? I'm guessing it's the latter, since there's a "Seelie or Unseelie?" part of the character sheet, but I'd like to be sure. |

Some more species of fairy (look them up if you don't know what they are)
Cait Sith: Literally translates to fairy cat, The cats are capable of standing on their hind legs. Like a real cat it can be ferocious if stumbled upon.
Cu Sith: Literally translates to fairy dog, this is the canid equivalent. The dog is capable of hunting in silence, and can let out three barks, which could be heard from miles around.
Fox Spirit: Foxes with up to nine tails. These are mostly female and can assume a beautiful humanoid form. There are three subspecies, the Kitsune, the Huli Jing, and the Gumiho. |

| (I said you were allowed to mention more for your own character if you're making a character; I never told you to just post every obscure type of fairy you can think of. If that were the case I'd've written up about a hundred more myself.) |

| Marked. I'm interested in seeing what a fairy RP can achieve. These types usually fall into neglect shortly after they're posted. |

Name: Povyn Elroe
Age: Thirty-four by human years. I'm not familiar with the life spans of gnomes.
Gender: Male
Race: Gnome
Seelie or Unseelie?: Seelie
Appearance: Poevyn is a qu33r looking fellow with not too many appeals where beauty is concerned. He's about three feet tall with a slender form and very earthy tones. His browned skin and browner hair give him the element of surprise, and the benefit of disguise. He has only a beard to complement his bushy eyebrows, a beard akin to the Amish style. One could mistake Poe for an elf by his large, pointy ears (a common insult among gnomes), or even for a witch by his enlarged, elongate nose (another insult). For all his "shortcomings", pun intended, Poe proudly boasts his broad shoulder lengths, an inheritance from his mother.
Clothing: Poe wears very earthy colors. He wears an olive green dinner jacket with light brown trousers, and soiled brown socks. He takes for granted the warmth the socks provide, often choosing to do without the discomforts of proper footwear, even at the protests of his mistress. As if his nose was not enough to reinforce the stigma of "warlock" among the gnome-kind, Poe wears a pointy brown hat tipped with a rusted bell, a small treasure he found buried with the remains of a dog in the backyard he dwells in.
Personality: Poe is an obstinate one, and a superstitious one. He believes all the old myths and fables, especially where the Bleaching is concerned. Poe's greatest worry is that he will age and descend into madness if he does not actively expose himself to new experiences. The Bleaching was actually introduced to him by his mistress to prompt him to experience the world more passionately. In doing so, though, she may have bit off more than she can swallow. Poe now actively steals from the houses on their block, sometimes returning his borrowed treasures, sometimes not. He's fostered a particular passion for jewelry and shiny articles. Even at the demurrals of his mistress, who believes he's endangering his life by teetering on the edge of potential interaction with humans, Poe will not break this obsession with stealing.
Whereas most gnomes are naturally inquisitive and curious, Poe is only goaded on by his own superstitions.
Bio: Poe is like any other gnome. He was raised in an extensive family in the burrows beneath a greenhouse in the backyard of a very old home, still occupied by the same family who's owned it for generations. He was taught to avoid human interaction by traditionalist parents, and has mostly succeeded in doing so for most of his life until he married his mistress, who encouraged him to broaden his horizons by exposing himself to the elements and studying human behavior more closely (and when he would not yield to her wishes, she used superstitions to prompt him). Now Poe has become something of a hoarder and an addict, slipping into houses and stealing small, transportable goods, especially jewelry articles, and storing them away in his burrows, like a squirrel does its nuts.

There's that, and my coffin got too stuffy, so I came up for some air. Now I think I'll stick around for a while longer.) |

(I have a small backlog of things I said I'd make and have to get around to making myself, actually, but maybe later.)
(Also, I've noticed that too much OOC chat in the first page generally kills the RP, so it's probably a good idea to wrap this up and for me to work on my CS.) |

| (Voo, three things stick out as reasons why I'm permabanning you. First, you failed to fill out information in the proper categories, as can be evidenced by clothing being in appearance. Second, "I don't get what you mean by bio". Third, "she is acually subconscious of her blind eye.". Now, I get that you're new and that this is your first time joining an RP, but I have a reputation of high standards to uphold for my RPs and you simply don't seem like you'd be able to keep up with the more-than-one-line-per-post that my joiners'll probably be going for. If you're going to be sticking on the RP forums, I recommend joining literally anyone else's RPs because everyone has lower standards than I do or joining one of my ISRPs so as not to too greatly make you feel unwelcome by significantly highlighting the contrasts of writing capabilities between you and everyone else here.) |
