First off, I just want to make a shout-out to Etboy: If this is too similar to your RP "Wonderland", I apologize. I started this project before Wonderland began because I was convinced it would die before it got started.
---
It's as though our favorite fairy tale characters have bitten into an apple dipped in poison. With no more than a rotten heart and a yearning for disaster, an unseemly villain has had our beloved fairy tale realm, Utopia, spellbound. Whether it be an accursed witch or a mischevious criminal, this mastermind has had it with the stale, timeworn Happily Ever Afters. No one is quite sure of who might have induced this heavy catastrophe, but, then again, it's not likely any residents of Utopia had even recognized this severe distortion of their fables. That was until one particular character made a sudden appearance.
Initially, Jack had escaped the giant's grasp for a third time by chopping down the Beanstalk on which the giant had climbed and lived blissfully and freely with his mother on their farm. Though, when things went awry, Jack had been trapped atop the mass of clouds with a resentful giant that wished him dead. Years passed, and Jack remained trapped within the giant's realm, though the giant had long since died.
Unbeknownst to Jack, the world below had taken an interesting turn. Stories had been fractured, fables broken. And Jack was seemingly the only resident that had not lost awareness of his life. Jack was conscious of his bargain with the man that previously possessed the three beans that sprouted the Beanstalk. He was conscious of his mother's irritation and distress when she'd discovered that the cow was no longer giving milk. He had full remembrance of his past. Ironically, it seemed that the only information he was missing was that of the world beneath his very feet.
Jack grew restless as the days continued to drag by. He was too concerned for his mother and his farm to stay and linger about the giant's kingdom. Thus, he searched laboriously for an escape, a loophole in the spell caster's curse. And there came a day when Jack found just what he was searching for. A hole in the clouds.
Jack spent many sleepless nights binding ropes - or strings, according to the giant's perspective - together until finally he'd fashioned a rope firm enough and long enough to climb down. With no hesitation, Jack started down the rope toward the damaged world below.
☁☁☁
Utopia is no more than a world of knotted fairy tales. Every fairy tale children have come to know and love is ruined, all on account of one foul man with a blackened heart. His one true desire was to ravage the fairy tale characters' Happily Ever Afters and revise the stories, and that's just what he's done. The characters have lost all consciousness of their previous Happily Ever Afters. They only know life as it is now. And their stories will continue to dissolve unless one boy - Jack - can contravene the villain's new plan for Utopia.
Jack can no further rely on magic beans to lead him to fortune. He must rely on his wits and strategy to overcome the devastations and hardships of Utopia- or rather, Dystopia.
It's now or never.
☁☁☁
.::NOTES::.
Remember to be creative with your CS! The fractured history of your character is up to you! If you want to use Cinderella, then perhaps her godmother is a witch in disguise. If you want to use Snow White, then perhaps the dwarves retaliate against her. It's your choice.
Remember that your character has no knowledge of their original stories, or otherwise called their Happily Ever Afters. Jack will fill them in.
Though Jack is an essential character, he will be an NPC, as well as the schemer/villain.
No one knows who the villain is exactly. Not even I know. I haven't decided yet, so in the meantime he will be entirely anonymous.

.::RULES::.
-Godmodding is a no-no. -You must use lore that everyone is most likely familiar with (Cinderella, Pinnochio, Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, etc.) -Please refrain from breaking out in OOC arguments. I just won't tolerate it. -Disney versions or Grimms Brother versions of fairy tales are acceptable, so long as they're appropriate. -I will only give adminship to those I trust and those that I deem worthy of having this title. -If you're an admin, then you may accept, decline, or punish RPers, unless I disagree with one of your decisions. -Common sense is mandatory. -Grammar is mandatory. But I won't fret over small grammatical mistakes because I make plenty myself. -Please be committed to this RP if you plan to join. What really irks me are those occasional drop-outs that make a CS and leave. I don't want any of those, please. -I would appreciate the character's name above each post.

(@Tim, Err... several problems with that CS.
First, a nickname/alias is not a team. Also, the appearance needs to be extended. I'd also like you to elaborate on the personality. And, for 'Strengths/Weaknesses', "bad at avoiding getting eaten by witches" is not acceptable. Finally, your history is basically a match of the original story.) |

Nam.e: Hansel Nickname/Alias: A.ge: 14 Gender: M Appearance: about 1.67m tall, thin, apears to be half-starved and looks quite weak. He has a nose that has the apearance of having been broken several times, and a small mouth. He has blonde hair, scruffy, and left uncut for a little while. He has several burns and some grime on his face. Personality: Scared, paranoid and jumps at shadows. He is very untrusting, due to events from when he was younger. Fears: Candy, gingerbread and anything else that seems similar. Strengths/Weaknesses: Pretty good at climbing and escaping from things, but bad at making friends. He is very good at remaining unseen, and also a little bad at finding people to trust. Weaponry/Possessions: A small knife. History: He was born the son of a woodsman, and grew up with his little sister, gretel. When their mother died during a harsh winter, their stepmother tried to dispose of them. He and his sister found themselves by the house of a crazy witch, and started eating the house as it was made of candy. They were captured by the witch, and the witch was feeding hansel food to fatten him up for the oven. Gretel knew of this, and in an attempt to kill the witch, she... tried to poison the food. Gretel ran away after Hansel found out about his sisters plan, and he was soon to be eaten. When the witch put him in the oven, his sister wasn't there to set him free, so he decided to poison himself with the food - Hansel managed to pick up the antidote somewhere - and tricked the witch into letting him out. He then ingested the antidote, and tried to escape when the step mother came in and rescued the witch. Hansel ran away, lost in the woods, with the step-mother and the witch after him. He ran into Gretel a few times, and Hansel tried to kill his sister and vice versa. Gretel managed to go back to their father, and Gretel borrowed the axe to kill Hansel. Now hansel is on the run with three people trying to kill him and no friends to help him. Other: Not sure what to put here. |

| (Much better. Accepted, but I recommend that you include more possessions, such as food and water, since he is basically a nomad.) |

Name: Wolve [From the Little Red Riding Hood story.]
BAND NAME: Wolverines, featuring Little Blu.
Age: About twenty sevenish
Gender: Male
Appearance: Take a typical, gray wolf, and then put him in some rock and roll duds. A red trench coat, with purple lining, shiny golden brass buttons, and a blue stripe on the right. He has an inner shirt which is a bright purple. He wears a fedora, which is mostly gray. Completed with shades, it makes him one cool mate.
Personality: Fun loving, and typically kind.
Fears: Hahahahah. No, you really think he will tell you?
Strengths/Weaknesses: He's a good musician, and basically shucks at everything else.
Weaponry/Possessions: Guitar, loose change, and a knife. Knife is for cutting up some meat which gets passed his way at concerts.
History: He used to live his life as a normal wolf, typically just hunting sporadically, and lurking around. Then he met Little Blu, a rocking little girl. He followed her to her stage, and played his guitar along with her singing. Eventually they joined together, and got a drummer named Larky. They are an amazing Trio, famous around the place. Or well, that was how it was. Then they just disappeared, like a bunch of smoke. Apparently they were too good and great, and just sort of faded away. Really however, they have been playing it low, waiting for things to go away. They had their happy life, and their end is probably gonna be by a firing squad.

Jack tripped and fell off the cliff. Jill had been holding Jack's hand, and thus fell with Jack. They were both bashed against the rocks below, but Jack took the worst beating. When Jill regained consciousness, she was holding her dead brother's hand and blood was everywhere. Other: Not Applicable |
