Welcome to Lost in the Woods!
This is a free, sandboxy game in which we'll play as people that has been trapped in an enchanted forest. It is a big, dark, scary forest, and for some reason it does not let people leave. There are several rumors concerning how to break this curse, but so far no one has been successful.
This is a fantasy game, so fantastic elements are accepted and encouraged. Elves, trolls, dwarves, orcs, or whatever. Just don't overdo it. It is also a medieval game, which means swords and tunics and knights and such. Easy peasy.
When playing this game you will get to partake in a little worldbuilding, too. Apart from your character, you will get to create a race (perhaps your characters, if that's not already taken) and a location within the forest. Such a location could be anything from a mine to a temple, or maybe just a hut. It's first come (and accepted) first served when it comes to races.
The Cursed Forest
The great woods in which our characters find themselves is a gigantic place, stretching across several nations. Its outskirts are lush, green and inviting, but the deeper you go, the darker and more foreboding it becomes. It is not known exactly where the point of no return lies, but once you cross it there's no turning back. The enchantment prevents anyone from finding their way back outside, and works in subtle ways. No matter how well you prepare, there's always some distraction or happenstance that makes you stray from your path. One moment you could have sworn you were going north, only to find that you're south of where you started. Finding your way at all is a challenge in itself inside the dark woods. The paths seem to slither this way and that at their own whim, almost as if the forest had a will of its own. Newcomers are left at the mercy of the wilds, never knowing where they are or where they're going. Older inhabitants have found other means of navigating. To reach some places, you must hum a certain tune while walking. Other places can only be reached when you need to go somewhere else. At times, all it takes is carrying a certain kind of flower to find the right path. Only the forest knows why this is.
Applications
When it comes to applications, I recommend leaving room for in game exploration and the imagination of other players. No need for extreme detail. The basics will do just fine. Once your applications have been accepted, you can post them in the Character Tab and begin playing.
