A soft, sweet melody wafts through the air. From the perspective of an Earthling, it's the most lovely and beautiful sound. It brings you serenity and maybe even joy. It's ironic, considering that as of late, you've been having a difficult time. The reasons always vary and it could be anything from loneliness, abuse, sadness or just plain boredom. Either way, after you hear it and exactly twenty-four hours have gone by. .
POOF!
You are no longer on Earth.
No, instead . . you're somewhere you've never seen before. You're pretty sure this place doesn't even exist – and it doesn't, at least not to YOU. Maybe you'll freak out, cry or begin to look around – your reactions will vary. And it's only natural, considering you are no longer in your room, at home, at school or work, hell, you aren't even ON Earth anymore!
But you ARE in Luminescence.
Most easily described as a "fictional town" filled with creatures you've never seen before or some you may have heard before in only folklore, myth or stories. Some terrify you and others might interest you. But mainly, you might find yourself confused and scared.
How will you ever return home?
You don't know it yet, but being here is your destiny. You have a purpose here, but only if you are willing to fulfill it. To trust yourself and others again, to find your true love, to fight off the dark feelings building in your heart and many more blockades you'll come across – are you ready?
Creature Introduction
It's full moon again and as usual, you hear the same melody you've already heard what feels like a hundred times already. You might yawn or shrug it off, you already know how this routine goes. And as expected, twenty-four hours later, a new batch of multidimensional travelers arrive – yet again. Over your years, you've seen thousands of humans arrive in Luminescence – some have stayed and fallen in love, some have gone home and the rest . . ?
Well, they became those hideous creatures you know so well – Improbi.
Maybe you've considered the possibility that this might be your chance. Maybe you want to give it a shot, find a human of your own. Or maybe, you just don't care and you just get caught up in this. Somehow, you find yourself in an encounter with one or more of these humans and it isn't before long that your life is most likely turned upside – whether for better or for worse.
You might just find yourself with a new human companion, whether a traveling or adventuring friend, someone to mentor or perhaps . . . a lover?
Either way, you're now caught up with the newest batch of multidimensional travelers. And this too might just be YOUR destiny, your chance. But only if you are willing to meet these humans halfway. . only if you're willing to trust and control yourself, only if you're willing to give them a chance and yourself – are you ready?[/center]
Love Culture
As a human in Luminescence, there is only one way to stay in the fictional world if you wish: finding your one true love. And you are limited, especially in the source of time. You only have thirty days until the next Lunar Festival, thirty days until the next full moon – only thirty days until you are forced to return home if you don't fulfill the requirements.
As tradition goes, once a creature or human find their one true love, a creature must ask a human for permission to perform the Lunar Dance with them, a dance that is performed at the monthly Lunar Festival – in order to seal their fate by binding. Binding does not necessarily mean marriage, but it does symbolize love and it officially makes the two a couple. It also allows a human to stay in Luminescence instead of returning to their real world.
In order to marry, a human must offer the creature a tool of affection (it may vary from a ring, to a collar, it depends heavily on the creature's race) and propose to them from the Starry Crag. If the creature answers yes, then the two are able to hold a marriage ceremony and be bonded for life.
In a couple, a creature generally protects the human. Creatures have access to animal forms, magic and various other attributes. A human generally wields a weapon to protect their lover in return. Couples choose their life after marriage, whether they'd like to have a home and "settle down" or travel the world: only the sky is the limit.
Improbi
An Improbous (or Improbi for plural) is a monster born from a human who refused to go home after failing to find true love. They are born of anger, hatred and betrayal. They appear like regular humans, but with a slightly deeper voice and dark as night aura. Because of their conditions of creation, they are far stronger than a regular human and have increased speed, strength and the ability to wield a weapon.
Most are warned to avoid them – or kill them on sight.
Rules
All regular site rules apply, obviously.
You can have as many characters as you can handle, just don't expect all of them to get significant others. This may change.
Hugs, kisses, all of that is permitted. Anything past that stage is "fade to black" or taken to PMs.
Absolutely no meta-gaming, power-playing or godmodding is permitted. I will call you out on it if it happens.
No OOC drama is permitted. First one to start, first one to get kicked out. No warnings.
Do not force romance onto another player or their character.
I love enthusiasm! If it's tame. I don't want two pages between three players, so please don't speed post.
Fighting is permitted! But do not kill anyone without consent.
Third person, past tense, A+ grammar and spelling, a few sentences at least.
Roleplaying is a hobby, not a job. Have fun and if it is stressing you out, take a break or don't be ashamed to drop out.

Ok character character character.......I'll look at pictures for inspiration (that's...how it normally works right?) I don't know but I'll find a perfect character don't worry!
I've only posted one of my characters b/c I might slightly rework my first one ^^
I'll try to repost my characters tonight. No promises though.
-Kirah is currently mobile.
Alright, take your time, both of you. There is a very low chance that the Roleplay would take off tonight or even tomorrow. As I said, I'm not setting any deadline or date for characters or for the launch of the Roleplay itself. Since you're both veterans (from pre-Reboot), you get priority status (as long as y'all don't overloop like three or four characters, which is still fine, but I may need to establish limits in the case that this RP continues to get a high amount of attention).
And accepting the shit out of @SilverFox's character for Six Trillion Years and Overnight Story. Great song.
I'm sorry to say that this is where I leave y'all for tonight. I'll likely make another character tomorrow (my first time playing two characters. Let's see how this works) and talk to y'all more then. Until that time I bid you farewell....good night guys(gals too I guess....wait...who's a guy and who's a girl.....what even am I?!)
i fixed my bio/personality and added a few things. nice to meet y'all. hello. i'm ryou.
Welcome to the RP and site as I'm aware you are a bit of a newcomer. I hope you enjoy this RP and the entirety of the time you spend on this site. If you have any questions, I'd be more than glad to help.
That being said, I begun to look at some of the profiles and I have to say that I really give props to McHaggis for getting the setting of the world to a tee and everyone for intense creativity.
If I feel better, my characters will be up tomorrow and two of each races and genders with varied preferences and ideals.
