She is passionate and certainly approachable, but is nonetheless a troubled soul as the legacy and fate of the now passé Starlight Aquarium rests upon her shoulders.

C H A R A C T E R B I O G R A P H Y C H A R A C T E R B I O G R A P H Y ________________________________________________________________________________________ The Colls have a storied history, one that goes as far back to when Starlight Cove was first settled. It is a tale of greed, mistakes, and atonement. A family of fishermen and women, the Colls flocked to Starlight Cove for the abundant fish living in the nearby waters. As they had no real competition to rival them, the Colls had become reasonably wealthy from their daily catch. However, with great wealth always comes consequence and, while the Colls made off with plenty a coin, they were in turn destroying the very ecosystem they profited so freely from. Recognizing the devastation they caused, a new generation of Coll formed from the ashes—the very ones Emma descends from. Trading their poles for education, the Colls became the stewards of Starlight Cove. United in their cause, the Colls established an aquarium on the island, with the goal to bring life back to the surrounding waters. It is a goal that Emma still believes in now that the torch has been passed to her upon the recent passing of her father. Yet with declining visitorship, failing infrastructure and pressure from mainland competitors, Emma has begun to wonder if she is fighting a losing battle. It'd devastate Emma to give up on the place she loves, but in her heart she knows it is only a matter of time before her hand is forced to close the doors for good.

C H A R A C T E R P O R T R A I T C H A R A C T E R P O R T R A I T _________________________________________________________ C H A R A C T E R S U M M A R Y C H A R A C T E R S U M M A R Y _________________________________________________________ Miriam Santorini is a twenty-three year old bookworm who spends a frankly improbable amount of time reading when she's not writing short stories to sell, sent off to the mainland through snail mail. Despite that, she's fairly personable, and maintains a decent social life. Her greatest sacrifice is sleep, which she doesn't get quite enough of, and mitigates the lack of through unreasonable amounts of tea.

C H A R A C T E R B I O G R A P H Y C H A R A C T E R B I O G R A P H Y ________________________________________________________________________________________ There are stories passed down in the Santorini family about their ancestor Gran-Lupe, and the magical prowess that he apparently had. Enough to grow crops in a day and a tree in a week; to divert streams, create ponds, and pile up hills. And, they say, that's how the Santorini family home came to be. Smallish, humble, made of dark gray stone, it sits atop a lakeside hill just outside of town, where Miriam lives along with her grandmother, parents, and two siblings. Miriam doesn't quite believe in the stories of Gran-Lupe Santorini. Not really. But she still thinks that there's something like magic here. So though the Santorini family has clearly seen better days, despite their money drying up and what prestige they had falling largely by the wayside, Miriam quite likes it here. She was always a quiet sort growing up; and even now, though she's perfectly happy socializing, she's still rather introverted, and the thought of moving to the big city that excites others her age makes her break out in hives. She's more than happy to stay here with her books and papers, devouring whole libraries and using the money that she makes by selling stories to ship yet more out to Starlight Cove. When not otherwise occupied with her books, peers, or household, she's often out in nature, rambling across the island and enjoying the island's 'magic.' As long as she doesn't break her glasses. She's helpless without them.

Roleplay Synopsis

---

The island village of Starlight Cove is in a rough place.

Established many, many moons ago, the rural community has begun to show signs of age as it struggles to adapt to the modern world. The elder populace despair, watching their homeland dry up as the new generations are drawn away by the fancy, alluring lights of the mainland. What were once happy meadows, taverns and other locales are now desolate, left empty and abandoned to nature. For the passerby, Starlight Cove is quite the depressing place, but to those stubborn enough to remain, it's home—a home worth saving.

Roleplay Overview

---

Starlight Cove is a roleplay inspired by the likes of Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, and Stardew Valley. It is a small scale, rural slice-of-life roleplay with minor fantasy elements (such as monsters lurking in caves and ancient forest spirits).

Similar to its inspiration, the goal of the roleplay, as well as the player characters, is to ensure the town doesn't disappear and remains a place worth living. How this is accomplished is up to the cast, as there is no path or plot route aside from the predetermined background. Consider the roleplay a blank slate, or otherwise a free roam-esque sandbox to do as you wish and/or explore potential character ideas or plots you've been wanting to write but never had a chance to.

After all, the world's your oyster now; you just gotta save it first.

Ashes Unto Stardust is a collaborative writing exercise in a fantasy-scifi fusion blend of my own making. This is a world where noble houses and knightly orders exist alongside steam trains and mechanical weaponry for as long as one could possibly remember. You are a noble youth studying at the Clarissant chapel grounds, a chivalric institute managed by the Order of the Ardent Rose. Lorem ipsum odor amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
