In the small town of Arrow Oak, strange things are known to happen to the townsfolk’s children. Some are “blessed” or gifted with inhuman abilities or powers, other parents swear their child was swapped at birth and a “demon” left in their place, and some children just simply go “missing” altogether. Little do the humans know this is because of a fae portal right out in the woods that surrounds their town.

Our characters will be a group of friends who go on a camping trip together out in those very woods as a way to reconnect and stumble across this fae portal. Characters can be one of the blessed, a changeling, half fae, or just a regular human. My character’s name is Eris Cloverton, a 24 year old veterinarian assistant who is one of the blessed whose gift is that she can talk with animals. She has a sibling, who I will either write in as a NPC/side character but is also available to be played by someone else.

Character roles I've thought about that are up for grabs
-Eris’s sibling
-Eris’s best friend

All other roles are pretty much unlimited, they could be old friends, new friends, or plus ones of friends, they could be other family members, neighbors, coworkers, etc
EDIT 11/21/2021- Now that the roleplay has begun, new roles will be more limited. Any new characters from this point on, until further notice, should be fully fae or the missing humans (those who went missing or were swapped out by changelings).

Edit 11/24/21- Additonal lore about the Fae & Missing Humans

Hey, so I saw the Int Check for this RP and thought it looked cool. It seems like there's room since you said you were looking for 2-6. Just curious, how powerful should gifts be? I saw Eris can speak to animals, should they all be that minor? And what exactly can half-fae and changellings do? I only ask so many questions because I care <3

I appreciate the questions! & there's plenty of room :)
Gifts don't have to be as minor as my own character but they also shouldn't be like.. God level either, if that makes sense. Half-fae and changelings generally would have a wider range of abilities & will get different reactions from the fae given that they themselves are fae/part fae. I imagine they would probably have a natural affinity for fae languages & the ability to learn new magic beyond what they are born with (as opposed to humans who must be gifted it). Not so much pertaining to powers, but changelings are more likely to be outcasts and have more of a subconcious awareness of what they are. Like they wouldn't know they are a changeling but they would just know they are different for some reason.

Also wondering what exactly is the difference between a half-faes and changelings? ^_^
Is a changeling a Fae or human who was "gifted" with fae powers, who was swapped at birth, when someone found out the respective baby was different that normal/mundane babies?

awesome, I wasn't going to do anything insane. I'm thinking of a human with "the gift of flame" basically a firebender, but obviously at the start it'll just be minor stuff. I could even be the sibling/best friend if no one else has claimed those yet

Sure thing :) I realize now I should've added in more lore about the fae and their various offspring.
Changelings are fully fae. They would be swapped with the human baby sometime after birth, usually the fae would try and make this as soon as possible as the more delay, the more chance for the humans to notice something's wrong. Half fae, are half human half fae and like changelings would live their lives believing they are gifted humans since Fae do not stick around in their half human children's lives, and use magic to keep their true selves hidden from the human parent. Whereas changelings are looked down upon and treated as black sheep, half fae would be cherished by their families and would be the "favorite" child. Half fae might find themselves more limited by their human genetics, such as being unable to fly, needing a sleep schedule like that of a human's or being more vulnerable in ways that humans are such as being injured by falls, etc. With a fae mentor they could possibly learn the magic that full fae have naturally though that allows for most of those things to not be issues, but they would not start out like this. And their magic would be slower to develop, maybe showing up when they are a couple years old, allowing it to be easier to learn to control. Changelings have all the magic there from the start as babies but none of the guidance on how to use it, which is part of what makes them seem so chaotic to humans. Half fae also look human, whereas many changelings have what humans would regard as unnaturally colored eyes, hair, skin, etc (pink, purple, blue, etc) and may have more elvish looking ears, sharper teeth and nails. Half fae at most might have odd colored eyes or hair. The biggest difference between the two is how they will be regarded by human society and fae society, honestly. Since how they are viewed by the fae is sort of the flip of how humans view them. Half fae are seen as scandalous, and by some, diluting the fae bloodlines where as changelings are an attempt to further fae existence beyond the realm of the fae.

Not all of the lore is set in stone, and exceptions can be made, but this is kind of what I had in mind, hope this clears that up.

@duskshine749 Neither has been claimed, so you're welcome to either role :)

Awesome, I think I'd like the role of best friend. Also I'll probably be waiting until you post Eris to post my sheet, I like seeing the GMs character before doing mine

I just got it up! :) I made a small change in that Eris is Half fae, not a blessed human (just mentioning in case you were still considering being the sibling, sibling can still be anything though they don't both have to be half fae)

Just so I know I'm on the right track. How much would the blessed differ from the Changelings and Half Fae when it comes to magic and abilities?

The blessed are more limited in that that they may only have one type of power or magic. They can become more skilled in that power, but they cannot learn new ones. So like, someone blessed with water magic might start with the ability to make clouds and progress to making waves, but they cannot learn fire magic or other types of magic. Someone blessed with advanced hearing might go on to also have echolocation or be able to mimic noises really well but cannot cast illusions or heal etc. Half fae and changelings may have a greater range of abilities, though half fae don't generally start with all their powers.

I am going to take the role of best friend, should we use real people for pictures or are drawings okay? The picture on your sheet is broken so I can't follow your example @QuinnWolfe
