Your entire life has been on where you hide and fight, claw and scrape for every minute of life that you cling to, never once have you found a moment to truly relax. The humans, Children of Dawn they are called, have made this world truly theirs, they are weak, they are slow, but they have still become a dominant force and have for time immemorial they have fought to suppress and remove the Children of Dusk, your people. You and your family, both the ones that birthed you or the ones that made you, hide in the cover of night, or try your best to blend into human society, but then the letter came, a sealed envelope, the wax seal was beautiful and intricate, a mark none in your family had seen before, however it was addressed to you all and read as follows.

"Dearest friends,
The Academy of Luce Prima bids the children of Dusk welcome. It has been an eternity that the children of Dusk have stood next to the human race, yet always under their heel, our histories are lost, memories fade with the lives we have lost. Now is the breaking of dawn for these forgotten children, born under pale light, scorned by the sun. We of the Luce Prima have chosen to take matters into our hands, and likewise putting the tools into your hands.

For the first time in our history, we have decided that we must open our doors and accepting any and all new students, of Dusk, and of Dawn. This may come as a shock, humans are going to be accepted alongside the children of Dusk, we have made this choice with the hopes that we can forge prosperity, create bonds, and end the separation that befalls us. We have lost much to the children of Dawn, but they have lost much to us as well, and none can truly say where the fault lies.

So it is with pride that the doors are opened to you, any who wish to come, seek out our libraries, study arts and magics lost to our kinds centuries ago, or merely to reach out as diplomats, seeking a new perspective. All are welcome, all are wanted, all are equal.


You don't know what to make of the letter, there are coordinates on the letter. Could an invitation like this be real? Could a place exist that has accumulated the knowledge of the many races and held on to it be real? You want more than anything to go, for whatever your reason may be, you know that you must be at the academy. With bags packed and a spring in your step, you arrive and what you see is beyond expectation, a city, with a towering castle, like something from a fairy tale, though the buildings surrounding it are decidedly newer. Around this gate that leads into the massive walled in city, you can see a man with pointed ears, an elf, talking with a pale specter of a woman, a vampire, the sound of wolves echoes deep in the city, goblins pop out of an alley, and following them, a human child. It's real, a place where the Children of Dusk and Dawn have come together, in the hopes of making a better world.

The nature of these scholars is unknown, however when you meet them, they are all dressed in beige robes with red and blue trim, their eyes are black as coal yet they smile warmly, they welcome you to the city and lead you in. A set of buildings have been built to house the new arrivals, many of whom came with out any belongings of their own, a dorm sized room with a restroom somehow seemingly tailored to you awaits and the tell you, "This city is yours as you please, live, grow, thrive." and they leave. Town seemed to bustle and you get the feeling that this place has more to see than you had expected.

All right friends and foes, let's get down to the root of it all, this rp is a supernatural creature slice of life deal, I want a game where the players can make the world theirs, and I want it to have a sense of adventure and tension, drama will be a big thing in this game, I want the racial differences to be a source, but I want to remind all who come here, I will not tolerate hate between players, if a character is played as having a bias or dislike for another, fine, but if it becomes an issue ooc I will deal with it.

Rules
  • All guild rules apply.
  • Mature themes ahead, 18+.
  • Sexual interactions must fade to black, take it to the PM's.

So aside from starving themselves, how do vampires feed without turning into serial killers? I mean, I can't imagine they'd be welcome into this new city if they were gonna prey on other citizens.

As a city of monsters other vampires would likely have stores set with bloodbags as well as likely running dens like in being human if you have seen that

I'm thinking about a werewolf from a toxic family pack who sneaks off to Luce Prima to learn about the world beyond the forest. Would probably result in deep-seated resentment for humans and other races (ingrained from her childhood) mixed with a growing desire to learn.

I am doing a Creole Voodoo Witch who just loves everyone and tends to make magical deals with people. Oh and he hits on everyone.

I was thinking of a super introverted fae who uses her charming/enchanting powers to make plants and animals like her to compensate for her lack of friends.

I was gonna do a green male witch who uses his magic to help grow and nurture plants to create tonics, potions, teas, and more to help heal others. He'd run a "homeopathy" type shop with plants growing, dried herbs hanging, etc

@RoccanIronclad Do vampires and werewolves have any other weaknesses or just the few listed in the OP?

Also, I thinking of a were-crow (with influences from the World of Darkness game). And since many of the character ideas seem to be 'anti-human', my character will be mostly 'pro-human'.

*So lonely...*

So guys... I was thinking of either doing a female shaman (based on indigenous tribes and cultures (both native Americans and South Americans). She would basically deal with the spiritual world, spirits, conjuring spirits to either make rain, help her or conjure certain abilities to help her)



OR

A noble, French vampire. Pure blooded, incredibly proud of his lineage, not having any problem in hunting humans when hungry (Sees it as the 'natural order' & etc...), with a penchant for cruelty and blades (more specifically fencing).



But we already have many Vampires, and as @NinaDivine said, you guys have already many anti-human characters already.

And thanks to this music, i'm heavily tending towards the shaman one

(Funny thing is that the lyrics are actually Finnish... lol



Am I... going too fast? XD @RoccanIronclad still haven't answered if there are still spots for an extra player lol

@13org

i like the shaman idea i think it would be cool
as for my character idk if he's anithuman per se but hes def a bit weary of them, his disdain is mainly towards how they treat the planet as and nature and wont easily trust them but as for flat out hating or being against them i wouldnt say so

@Trainerblue192
Being a shaman, you can expect her to be literally 'the bridge that links this world to the beyond'. Both spiritual and corporeal. So she wouldn't be pro human or anti human, instead focusing only in maintaining the balance between the spiritual realm and the normal world. Her abilities would mainly consist in either incorporating spirits, summoning them, borrowing their elements/abilities or even entering in a trance like state (almost like a possession)

Also had some other ideas such as a witch that basically is a living vodoo doll, harming herself to inflict wounds on others (yeah, expect heavy doses of sadism, masochism and basically being completely 'broken') and other cruel & twisted ideas...

But between demi-human characters (mainly chimeras with animal traits), crazy psychopaths, sociopaths & etc... I think a normal shaman girl would be nice lol

Maybe I need to tone down the cruel/crazy characters a bit hahaha
