“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."
--- Friedrich Nietzsche
We all remember reading bedtime stories about dragons and heroes overthrowing evildoers. We were always lead to believe that the they were nothing more than beasts and legends to remind children to never go out at night. We were always told that they could never truly exist in our world--a world without magic or dragons or princesses needing to be saved...
"Nana... why are the dragons always evil?"
"That's because they always kidnap the princess, sweetheart. Why?"
"Well... when I scraped my knee the other day, I started to cry and when my tears hit the scrape... The pain vanished and it was like I had never fell. DJ called me a big fat liar and told me that I was just imagining things."
"Oh, sweet one, I had hoped you wouldn't have to find out like this--"
"Find out what?"
We were always told that there was nothing to truly fear in this world except fear itself. But what we didn't know was that we were told wrong.
"My sweet one, I have another story to tell you, one that will tell you about the tale of why you can cry and heal yourself, but it is a sad tale, my dear..."
Monsters are very real, my friend, and they live among us.
They could be your neighbor or your best friend.
Or maybe you could be one yourself...
This is an RP where you can choose to be either a "monster" or a normal college student living in the city of Hallesdale--the city with the largest population of creatures from every other fairy tale or legend that you can imagine. The "monsters" are forced into hiding among normal people, trying to live somewhat normal lives. Every character is attending Halles College of Arts and Sciences.
A small club (often referred to as a "cult" by outsiders) known as the "Night Garden" is notorious for being very picky about the students who are allowed to join. This club, if you haven't already guessed, only accepts those who are "extraordinary". As of late, the club has been threatened to be removed from the campus due to their behavior and are finally accepting a small amount of human students in order to appease the student council.
Some of the roles are going to include:
- President (played by myself)
- Vice President
- Treasurer
- Secretary
- Club Rep
If you have an interest in playing one of those roles, please say so in the thread as well as message me. We'll discuss it, because I have to know that you'll be as active as possible and the like.
We'll also need a good number of humans, just so that not everyone is a monster--and there will be specific rules for each species (which can be debatable and you can help create them). ^_^
Let me see a show of hands, people!
