[center]Long ago there lived six kingdoms, who for a time lived in harmony. Each who ruled over these lands had over come many hardships before they came to rule and this made them stronger. But, not only did their good deeds make them loved through out the kingdoms, it made them hated by those who loathed good and lived in the darkness of evil. For, these six kingdoms had killed off many evils, such as witches and dark fairies. This put fear into the remaining evils, causing them to scatter and hide away. And yet, though evil hid away within the shadows of forests, it refused to die. For in the woods, lived a Wicked Witch. A witch whom was tired of living in the darkness and wished to claim those kingdoms as her own. And, what better way to start than by cutting the kingdoms down at the roots.[/center]

[center]So, the Witch created a creature. This creature was a terrifying shadow that lurked in the darkest corners of the kingdoms, waiting to strike. And it wasn't long before it did. One by one, the rulers of these kingdoms would discover the horror that their children, the heirs to their kingdom, were gone. The children went missing without a trace, taken by this evil creature. And worse, the good creatures who the rulers always went to for answers, the three fairies, the trolls, and the Fairy God Mother, had somehow lost their magic and were of no help.[/center]

[center]Though the Witch had ordered the creature to bring the infants to her so she could kill them, the creature was not compliant, for this creature had developed a mind of its own and had formulated a plan within his head to rid himself of these kingdoms and shroud the land in darkness. The creature knew these rulers were strong, and knew that losing the heir alone would not bring the kingdoms to their knees. Yet, those heirs turned against their kingdoms could very well do just that. And so, he let the children live, merely abandoning them in different places within the woods.[/center]

[center]Years pass, and each child grew, knowing nothing of their past, nor of who they truly were. It is this very fact that they don't know who they are though, that leaves them with this urge of wanting to know where they came from and where they belong. And when this sparks curiosity enough for the creature, now known as Hostis, he sends shadows creatures he calls the Umbras to the heirs. These shadow creatures take the form of animals and find each of the heirs, giving them a letter with white words, written on black parchment. The letter is simple, reading that the first to come to Hostis will be granted a wish. This leads the unknown princes and princess on a journey together to find out what makes good and evil and if what they wish for is really what they want. So, take a journey with them and head INTO THE WOODS.[/center]

[center]______________________________________________________________________[/center]

[center][b]Information you MUST know[/center][/b]
[center]The Umbras- These are shadow like creatures created by Hostis. They can come in whatever shape they wish to be but often stick to one form. They communicate with whatever means they know will make themselves clear. This means, if they know you will only pay them mind if they talk, then they will speak. If they know you become consumed in your imaginations and dreams, then they will give you visions or talk to your through your drams as you sleep. They were made to look innocent and appealing enough that the heirs will follow, which is why they will likely take the animal that would be the heir's favorite, to gain their trust. Whether these creature are truely evil or just following order of their master is un-known, but like every being, can form a mind of its own and stray from the path made for it.[/center]

[center]Hostis Humani Generis(or just Hostis as he is known in the beginning of the rp)- This is the creature the Wicked Witch created. Being that he was created through the dark magic of the Witch, he has dark magic of his own, and using it, was able to place a curse over the land, making it so all 'good' creatures, such a the fairies and trolls, lost all their magic abilities and were unable to find the young heirs. This caused an ultimate divide between the creatures of the land, causing a segregation of the magical creatures. Those who retained their powers were called 'evil' by those who didn't and were shunned, some even killed, by the non-magic wielders. Even to present day, if a creature has magical powers, they are shunned and could be very well harmed by the humans of the land, causing fear and panic on both sides(the magic wielders fearing the human's judgement and humans fearing the magic wielder's spells). Hostis dwells in the deepest part of the forest, within a great tree called Ecalus. This is where the heirs must go to find him.[/center]

[center]The Son of Elsa the child of Rapunzel- Now this is a very touchy topic I know must won't agree with because these are favored characters and whatever is done with them will either be hated or loved. I have decided that though Hostis took away the magic wielded by the fairies and trolls, the healing powers Rapunzel's child might have(if they choose to him or her healing powers like she had before her hair was cut) will remain. The same will be for if the person who plays Elsa's son wishes to give him ice powers like Elsa. Here is my reasoning. I feel that there is a difference between gifts and powers give to an individual and magic. One can do multiple things with magic. The possibilities are unlimited. Where as the powers the children of Rapunzel and Elsa would have would be singular, limited to just healing and ice. Also, one could say that while 'good magic' was taken by the curse over the land, we have no idea what caused Elsa's powers, or the powers that came from the flower of healing. For all we know, if could be a curse that caused these powers and thus a curse cannot over ride another curse. So, for the sake of the rp, we shall say the powers they have were cause by a spell or curse and eave it at that. [/center]

[center]The Kingdom's Today- After the children began vanishing one by one, the kingdoms tried to protect their heirs as best they could, but could not stop them from disappearing until all six kingdoms had lost their heirs. This caused suspicions and tension between the once peaceful kingdoms, and while war has yet to break out between the kingdoms, it seems as though war is just a thin line or insult away.

[center][b]Rules[/b][/center]
[center]-This is PG-13. While I'm sure most people on RPG are adults, there is a minority of young teens and so I prefer to keep the rps I do on forums PG-13. If there are any mature scenes, please fade to black in the forum and go to pms. Damn and Hell are okay, but keep any other words out(besides I don't think people in fairy-tales would use any other words besides that :/ ). As far as blood goes, obviously fairy-tales can get bloody. I can't really say what the limit is to that is until I see its getting to much. If it is, I will let you know and ask you to change your post. [/center]
[center]-This will be an advanced rp, and as such I would except advanced posts. Meaning no less than four paragraphs for most posts(though some exceptions can be made for certain posts depending on the situation). Also, you must have good grammar and spelling.
-If you have managed to read all of these, put a quote your character might may of think above your CS.
-Sorry, but this is first come, first served. I also reserve the right to deny any profiles I think will not fit into the rp, at that point, depending on the reason for deny, you may or may not have a chance to rewrite. [/center]
[center]-I am a college student and as such, tend to be busy sometimes. So, I have brought in a Co-Gm, who was lovely an helped me come up with some of the plot ideas for the rp. *applause* As such, while I am away, McHaggis is in charge. if you disrespect him, then you disrespect me. So be nice to him.[/center]
[center]-No drama. You cause drama and you will be asked to leave the thread(and I mean drama between our peers, not in the written rp ;) ). Also, if you break a rule, depending on the offense, you may be asked to leave as well.[/center]
[center]-I can add more rules later if problems should arise. If this happens I will let everyone know the updated or added rule.[/center]

[center]Name: Mirabella Carmian

Age: 17

Parents: The Wicked Witch(Elphaba) and an un-named Warlock.

Race: Witch

Which Shadow Animal Came to You: The Shadow Creature that came to her took the form of a cat. She will name him Rino (ree-no). 

Wish: To become human. 

Bio: Though Mira can not remember it, her mother was not always evil. Her mother, although she was a witch with darker magic, hadn't up to that point harmed anyone, and had even done some good with her magic. Her father was the same, using his magic for good as well. Only even when all you do is good, bad things can find you. Even at this point in time, because of term-oil within the kingdoms about some witches that had chosen the path of evil, humans had taken to picturing all witches and warlocks that way, and because of this, her father, when Mira was just a few months old, had been killed by a group of humans passing through the woods. Her mother had never forgiven that, and her father's death had left her mother's heart cold and bitter toward humans. It was because of this, that her mother had turned on the humans and wanted to take over their kingdoms. Mira though never knew anything of her mother's plans. The Wicked Witch, in a attempt to shield Mira from those evil humans, kept her within a barrier. The barrier was not seen, but was created by magic to keep those without magic out. Only magic wielders could break the barrier, leaving Mira safe from humans as long as she was within that barrier that surrounded their home within the woods. 

Yet, Mira was a curious child, and when she was seven, got her first taste of how cruel humans really could be. The seven year old girl, curious about what lied in the woods beyond the barrier her mother had set up, left the protection and traveled just a little further into the woods, where she met a group of humans children playing a game of pretend. She was more than happy to join in. They played for about a half hour, when the children decided they wanted to change stories and play prince and princesses, which of course, included a evil witch. Now, Mira didn't think much of this. She thought it was just a fun game, and because she was a witch, offered to play the part of the witch. And it was in playing it, that she had showed her powers to these children, who were immediately disgusted by her. They called her names, threw mud at her and pushed her to the ground, threatening to drag her into the kingdoms and hand her over to the royals to be killed, most likely learning such things from watching their parents say and do the same things to magic wielders. Thankfully, her mother had been near by and had chased the children off, bringing the disheartened and hurt Mira back home, where Mira never dared to leave the barrier again. Still though Mira remained curious. 

Her mother always told her that witches never would be considered good. They were doomed to living life in the darkness and to be hated by humans. That humans considered them worthless and would never understand them. And Mira wondered what she could do to make it so that humans didn't hate her. She spent her life reading storybooks(books that told the stories of the princess and princes who lived happily ever after after killing the witches. her mother had stolen these for reference on what mistakes no to make when attacking humans, but Mira read them with the fascination in the fairy-tales themselves), and taking them to heart. It was always a happy ending for the humans, yet not for the witches. After taking this fact in over and over again with every story she read through out the years, she came to the conclusion that she didn't want to be a witch anymore. She wanted to be human. She began to hate her powers and hate herself. She wanted to make a new her. And when approached by one of Hostis's Umbra's, she sees this as her chance to do so, not knowing the danger that lies for her when she goes Into the Woods. 

Other: Mira has come to consider herself evil because she is a witch, even though she uses her powers for anything but evil. She considers herself evil because of what she is, rather than what she does, which is why she wishes to change what she is and wishes to turn human.[/center]
