Our story begins in the most derelict neighborhood, in the the Darkest part of the city, where a community of occult, mystical weirdos resides. After a mass Exodus from their fairy-tale homelands, all manner of magical creatures, princesses and monsters all moved into the Dark City, hiding from whatever catastrophe befell their world. This saga began in the year 2001 and certainly did not bode well for the humans or the fables.
The Land of Oz is no more than a pile of rubble at this point, forcing Dorothy to work at the local corner store. The Hundred Acre Woods suffered a similar fate, relegating Pooh Bear, Tigger and all their friends to work at a run-down, mom-and-pop Toy Store under the guise of store mascots. Snow White fared much better in Dark City, eventually becoming the tenement slumlord and renting apartments sky-high-prices to the 7 Dwarves. The Big Bad Wolf prowls the city streets, searching for innocent young girls to victimize. The neighborhood, called Darktown by its residents, has only 1 Law which must be enforced every second of every day – the use of a temporary magick known as Glamour. The city itself is facing a multitude of other inconvenient issues including: gang warfare, a freak Summer heat-wave and, of course, the citizens of Darktown.
In order to conceal their otherworldly appearances from the wary and violent humans, the mystical migrants purchase highly-expensive Glamour spells to cloak themselves and their families. Only a select few witches & warlocks still remember the old magicks necessary to perform this spell and they charge ludicrous fees, knowing that Glamours, (like food, water, shelter and electricity,) are a necessary expense to living in Darktown.
In Dark City money buys information – and information is power.
-Magic-
1. Magic is expressly forbidden by City Law, except for Glamours.
2. Magic is categorized into 3 branches: Black, White and Gray.
3. Nobody quite remembers the science behind how magic works, but those that do, still use it in Dark City for their own benefit and nefarious plans. (Our characters WILL have access to some magicks.)
-----
Crossover of some TWAU/Brother's Grimm/Lovecraftian lore set in an original universe. I plan for this RP to be largely player-driven as far as shaping the story goes, although I plan to have a "Mission Board" from which everyone can accept various Missions to push the story along and develop our characters.
Looking for a mid-size group. Feel free to ask questions.
