I'm gunna give everyone who hasn't posted yet a few more hours to get their starters up before I begin to push the story forward. Players don't have to post everyday if they don't want to, but I intend on keeping things moving at about that rate, unless the majority of players have a different preference.
If you miss an event-heavy post and we've moved on, don't worry about it. I will give later joining characters unique entrances to the world after this point, and have several other work-arounds arranged to get new players up to speed without having to interrupt the RP and slow down the story.
@JELDare It's totally fine! I definitely understand the mishap. I would just like everyone to know what's going on as well and easily as possible during this roleplay, as confusion and boredom are the two biggest killers of online RP in my experience.
The OOC's Important NPCs hider has been updated to reflect new introductions in the latest post. I'll try to keep up with it as characters are introduced. So, if anyone forgets who someone is, there is a quick reference there.
The first picture is what she looks like when outside and around others. The second image is what she looks like under the bandages but she never lets anyone see her face. Her glowing red eye is only seen when feeding. Otherwise her eyes remain silver.

_Transformation_ Ghoul, which in turn allows her control over darkness/shadows. With this transformation also comes the craving for blood and raw meat. Human food will sustain her for a time but the longer she ignores her craving, the more it hurts her body. First human food makes her sick to her stomach, then her body begins trembling, then she gets a fierce pain in her stomach and finally she falls into a rage and attacks anything in the near vicinity.
_Background_ To say Persephone had been loved as a child would be over-exaggerating. Her father was a wealthy business man for a computer company and her mother didn’t work. Her parents had not married for love but to bring two wealthy families together. Her father was always at work and her mother was out at parties all hours of the day. Persephone had a nanny that took care of her. Her parents never paid attention to her and when they did they were detached, not really caring about the conversation going on. Persephone eventually stopped trying to get her parents to notice her after she made a horrible grade on a test just to see how they would react. Her father never looked up from his tablet and her mother just gave her a customary glance, replying “That’s nice dear.” Persephone faded into the background and even though she was surrounded with so much stuff, she was horribly lonely. So, she took to reading every book she could get her hands on. She was found in the library more often than not. She just loved how she could escape to the worlds between those pages.
_Personality_ Before The Transformation: Generally a quiet girl, Persephone normally fades into the background. She is the kind of person who prefers to take the pictures, not be in them. She is usually a very passive and kind person. She does not like violence though just because she doesn’t like it doesn’t mean she won’t resort to it to keep the people she cares about safe. She is an easy-going person and very agreeable. This doesn’t mean she doesn’t have an opinion however and she is not afraid to tell it if she is comfortable around you. She really doesn’t talk around strangers and becomes very awkward when she is the center of any attention. She is somewhat of a klutz, managing to trip over her own feet more often than not. A decent cook, Persephone is wary around knifes from the time she almost took her thumb off when chopping vegetables for dinner. She is a night owl and not much of a morning person. She can be very OCD when it comes to certain things, especially around her house; everything is nice and orderly. It is not as bad out in public and she can normally keep a lid on it. She is also a bookworm, having around three full shelves over-flowing with books. She can be found more often than curled up in a chair reading or drawing.
After The Transformation: The majority of her personality remains however she is able to be angered easier.
@XxLyraxX Accepted! Go ahead and post her in the tab. Since we are hardly into the roleplay, you can introduce your character in the same manner as everyone else did, with her waking up in the meadow. We'll just say it took her a bit longer to wake up than the rest of them.
I'm going to cap the RP with the 10 players we have right now and see how that fairs! The post I have written so far is already very lengthy, and it's only in response to about half the characters' questions, so I think this will be a good balance.
@XxLyraxX Alright! Depending on what point we get to will determine the entrance your character has. Let me know when you are available to introduce them, and we'll work it out so that everything makes sense before you jump into the IC. Have fun visiting your grandparents! :)
@Shuck Sure! Feel free to keep an eye on the thread and story/lore. I'll let you know when I'm accepting more applications.
If enough extra people are interested, I'll probably start to look for a CO-GM among the original 10 players, so that the role-play can keep its quality and speed but have more players over-all. (If any of the currently participating players would be interested in taking on this extra responsibility, send me a PM and we can talk about it.) I'm glad this idea has so much traction; it's very exciting. :3
If anyone else would also care to join in on this role play, you can comment as such in the OOC with an @mention to me, even though character submissions are still currently closed. I will take whatever action I deem appropriate from there, depending on what remaining interest there is.
@Crazy Doctor I wasn't even aware there were join status options! Faults of a first time GM, I suppose. Certainly my mistake, and I apologize for any confusion that caused. I've found the setting and changed the status now. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. :)
Alright, so @Crazy Doctor has volunteered to be CO-GM in the future if that's the way I decide to take the RP. For now, things are going to stay as they are while we get a little further along and I see how well the group we have works. If I decide to change anything later, I'll tell everyone.
@Quextamon Sorry to reply so late! I've subscribed to the roleplay so I'll always be updated. I'm eager to join, so if you ever need one more person, you know who to call...
