Tales of Evermore: Under the Tree (Sign-Up/Fantasy)

This is my first rp idea about fantasy. It will be similar to Bridge to Terabithia and The Chronicles of Narnia.

Imagination: is accepted as the innate ability and process to invent partial or complete personal realms within the mind from elements derived from sense perceptions of the shared world.

Children have in them, the most powerful imaginations in the world. Their own worlds which they play in and create with their own minds. Often just for fun, but sometimes...it's a place to escape reality. For one young girl, this is the truth. Her parents are going through a bitter divorce where she and her slightly older brother are caught in the middle, forced to choose sides. Enduring countless arguments and accusations from her parents as they scream at each other while the two children watch on, forgotten. At school, she is picked on and laughed at for being different. She spends much of her time reading fantasy books, imagining a life and a world better than her own. She yurns to escape, to be happy. One day, after an unerving event, she escapes to the woods, to an old oak tree. The young girl cries and cries. Having runaway from home she must begin again. In the woods, her young mind creates a new world, and for some reason this world comes to life. Anything she imagines, comes to life. A door appears in the oak tree and she steps forward, into a new world, a world of her dreams. A peaceful and serine world, filled with all sorts of creatures and inhabitants. Elves, gnomes, giants, griffins, any and every creature ever imagines. The young girl names this new world, Serenia. This new home has everything she ever wanted and lives a happy-carefree and adventerous life. However, she begins to miss her home, despite the torubles and leaves Serenia. She tells her brother of the new world and he refuses to believe it, but she convencies him to come. But something strange occurs once the two of them arrive. Legions of evil creatures emerge and begin to threaten this fantasy world. They must go on an epic quest to save Serenia and themselves before their new world and their olf life come crashing down. In their adventure they travel across an every expanding world running out of her control as "The Stranger" marshalls his forces to sweep across Serenia and beyond. This usurper somehow knows of the world of Earth and will do anything to conquer it as well. The children must confront their fears and internal demons as they face impossible odds in an epic quest to save Serenia and Earth itself.

Basically, it's a girl's overactive imagination gone wild and somehow creates a world. Someone else finds this world and also has the gift of imagination and creates the hordes of evil creatures bent on controlling the fantasy world and sets his eyes on the real world. The two siblings begin to search for answers and a way to stop him before it's too late. They meet other characters along the way. The world goes out of her control and takes on a life of it's own and she loses her abilities to manipulate and create and they fear that they will be trapped forever. There's plenty of magic that can be used as well.

This rp could be good, but I need help on this one. You can be just about anything in this rp. I'll rp the little girl just for the helluvit. Someone needs to be her brother and someone to be the mysterious stranger who invades her world. As well as other characters who come along the way. The girl's name is Jessica Shaw. This great usurper is labeled "The Stranger" He is believed to be from Andrea's realm and has a dark heart.

Character name: Sula Altair
Age: 97
Race:Elf
Place of origin: Rodina (A city to the north next to a coastline)


Although most other elves are immortal, Sula and the other elves of Rodina are not. Legend says that this is do to a curse placed upon them by the gods after the Rodinian elves betrayed their alliance with a colony of dwarfs and aided dragon riders in sacking the dwarf town and killing the inhabitants almost 5,000 years ago. Rodinian elves usually only live two to three hundred years.

Sula Altair is a elf that works for the dark lord as an assassin, spy and low level commander of his forces. He has increased strength and agility. Primary weapons are swords and knives but also has some skill with the bow. Magical abilities are limited and are centered around a form of fire worship.


Born to a middle class merchant family, Sula's family could afford only minamal crew so he and most of his family spent much of their lives on the sea going from Rodina to the north trading with various mining colonies. Approximately 30 years ago his entire family was killed in a pirate attack. The only reason he lived was becuase he had stayed behind after a fight with his father.

When he received the news that his family had been slaughtered he left he the city and all that once made up his life. After a several years wondering from town to town stealing what he needed to survive he came into service for a group of thugs in a human colony to the east of Rodina. There he learned and perfected the arts of killing. This gang used him for years until one night Sula murdered each and every last one of them. He quickly fled the town soon there after.

How they met isn't known but eight years ago Sula returned to his homeland as a servant for a power hungry minister who would one day prcliam himself king. Sula came to the notice of the Dark Lord after killing all the members of Rodina's High Council, aiding his master the new King of Rodina in his coup.

Just character info. You can be just about anything in this world. Magic is very prominent in this rp.

It's wide open with endless possibilities.

Just about anything. The girl is creating the world and it's going to be high fantasy. No godmodding or anything, you get the idea.

This sounds fun. Mind if I join?

Name: Nacyn Khalius.
Age: 25.
Place of origin: Unknown.

Even though he is young, Nacyn is one of Serenias foremost hunters. Although most of his past is unknown, it is known that he joined the Stranger's forces at a young age. He has extremely sharp hearing and eyesight. He is not a very good swordsman, but he is a master of the bow.

Sounds fine.

Some more backstory: The Stranger is not going to be revealed in this part of the story. This entity has loyal and ruthless followers who prepare for their dark master's arrival.

This rp's plot is about her discovery of Evermore and the people and creatures living in the world. She gets into several adventures before she begins missing home. Something wrong begins to happen as her imagination runs wild and slowly turns out of her control. A prophecy is unrevealed that a dark force known as "The Stranger" will threaten Evermore and plunge it into darkness unless "The Creator" a mythical figure, responsible for the creation of the world can come back to Evermore and stop the darkness. The races of Evermore believe that she is this fabled figure but due to mounting pressure and personal problems, she shuns away and is tricked by a sorcerer who helps her return to the real world where she tells her brother about this magical world. She finally convinces him to go with her and they manage to reenter Evermore to discover that the darkness is growing and spreading. Hordes of evil creatures now occupy the lands. Dark skies cast overhead and a Dark Star appears overhead, ending this chapter.

I wouldn't mind signing up a knight character to be a personal protector to the children, if you don't mind? I'll have him pick them up when they re-enter Serenia, I'm not sure exactly how you'd want it to run so let me know if you like the idea.

Name: Sir Damarus Shaw
Age: 34
Place of origin: The principal human kingdom which is closest to where the children enter Serenia, if there is one.

Bio: Pledged to the service of the Knights of the Word since aged fourteen, he completed his time as a squire at twenty before heading out on a quest that would take him fourteen years to complete. He was returning from his spell as a knight-errant when he encountered the children.
