Shadow Valley [[Human/Supernatural RP]]

Yes, Crevan is starting an RP! Please read the Rules before continuing to read the plot to make sure you feel you are up to following how I like to role play before you emerge yourself into reading!


This Rp will not be starting until Sunday, August 28th. I will be gone all of next week and therefore would like to postpone this actually starting until I return. However, character forms and examples may be done now so we can get a prompt start on the 28th.


Rules & Guidelines
1. All posts MUST be of significant length; if you are talking with someone else's character then it's fine to make shorter posts, however.
2. I RP in a prose style. I do not Rp like this:
Bob: *dashes around*
Fred: *trips Bob* Sorry bob!
Any posting made like that is not allowed - I do not believe that helps anyone become a better writer of prose, which is what I intend to write.
3. All Posting MUST follow alacrity's rules - this means no vulgar language or content or anything that does not follow the rules here on Alacrity.
4. Please use proper spelling and grammar - a few mistakes are fine, they happen and I don't expect everyone to be perfect, you'll see me making mistakes too.
5. Make sure your characters are believable and true. What does this mean? Your character cannot be perfect, nor can they predict the future (unless they have a certain power like that but it better be limited or carry a price), nor can they read minds (again, unless its a power of theirs and its limited or comes with a price). This means they cannot know what another player's character is thinking, and they cannot know things that may have been foreshadowed or hinted at. And, of course, they cannot be invincible to everything.
6. You must PM me a 500 page example of your writing to be considered for joining this RP. Don't worry about this too much, as long as you include description and a bit of dialogue and things look tidy and well done, you will easily be included in this RP :D


Plot Line

Shadow Valley is a secluded region, closed off from society in an attempt to keep testing as contained as possible. This particular region, known as Shadow Valley, is a testing sight to see if humans and the supernatural can truly live together in harmony. Yes - all people living there know of supernatural beings, and all supernatural being are safe, to an extent.

Shadow Valley has a third "species" - the Guardians. Guardians are humans or supernatural creatures who are participating in the program to ensure all subjects remain safe. They control any issues when the start occurring - they take out the unruly and make sure well defined rules stay intact. A Guardians duty is not to be social - their duty is merely to study the effects of supernatural creatures living openly in a human environment. All Guardians have been tested for the position and are at the top of the law in Shadow Valley - anyone who wishes to defy them will face consequences.

Shadow Valley, due to the secrecy of supernatural creatures in the rest of the world, has no road out. There is nowhere for anyone to go, and now that they are involved in the experiment there is no escape for them. The only creatures who can get in and out are the Guardians and the Supernatural - all humans are contained either for life or until the testing has concluded. However, leaving Shadow Valley is no easy feat. If one wishes to escape they not only have to get past Guardians watching over the borders of Shadow Valley, but they also must travel hundreds of miles by foot. In ease, no one living there has contact with the outside world.

Aside from there being an openness about supernatural creatures, this town operates much the same as any normal town. There are houses and apartments, jobs and places to hang out, etc.

Can the people and supernatural creatures of Shadow Valley prove the secret can be let out? Or will they only prove that what was shrouded in mystery is best left that way?


Character Guidelines & Rules
For now I will only allow SEVEN of each species to exist in this RP. That means it's a first come first serve for whoever wants either Guardians, People or Supernaturals.

Everyone is allowed TWO characters for now. If this RP grows enough and more are necessary, then I will allow more later on.

Character Form
Name:
Age:
Species:
Guardian (Y/N):
Special Abilities(Only ONE allowed):
Description:
Clothing Preference(this can help you avoid having to describe clothes all the time):
Personality:

You can be as descriptive and informative as you like with the character form; personally I think less is more since a character should be more built up in the RPing process.


Please submit character forms here and please send the 500 word(ish) example writing to me privately.


Remember you have about TWO WEEKS to get a character form and sample sent in before this RP actually starts :)
