  • Hello!! I’m happy to see you found your way to my post (~‾⌣‾ )~ You can call me lemon, lemonkween, or really whatever you wanna think of me as [non-derogatory]! I’ve been writing for about 10 years now, but I’m still looking to improve! I definitely want to focus on a high-fantasy setting and I have some ideas for it, but we can always come up with something else together. I would prefer a FxF or FxNB pairing. Now, a few things about me:

    • At most, I’ll be able to reply multiple times a day. At least? Once a week. Any longer than that and I will let you know! Currently I’m on a break between semesters, so I should be more active than not!
    • My posts are typically at least 3 paragraphs and literate, but I will match your vibes. If you give a lot more, I will give a lot more.
    • I will play NPCs and jazz and influence the world, and I would love if you could do the same as well. I find it more fun to collaborate on the worldbuilding together!
    • I love love LOVE OOC chat! If you want to become friends, I’m down! Let’s come up with crazy plots together !!

    So I have some lore and ideas for this overall world. If you have any suggestions or think something should be changed, PLEASE don’t hesitate to tell me! I really want to expand on this world and figure out its inner workings!! I apologize because I’m not good with this HTML coding, so I’m trying to make this as neat as possible! Send me a message if you’re interested.

    As a side note, I do have more specific ideas for the world and societal aspects and everything, but I don’t want to be too specific and hinder any inspiration.

    The World

    According to the ancient scriptures of the Goddess Aizeld, creator of all things, elves are the children of the land, made from the tears of the great Senian Sea and the molten rock of Cryoft’s Cliffs. Passed through their blood is a special affinity for all things nature. Impossible bonds have formed between beast and elf. It’s been noted that trees and plants may bend and sway at one’s will, and crops can triple in bounty when cultivated by an elf. Throughout time, though, less elves have been born with a strong affinity of harnessing the power that comes from the very soul of nature. Many today no longer carry the ability, and most elves that do have the connection do not have as strong a bond as their ancestors did.

    Humans, on the other hand, are written in history as the children of the skies. Created from a falling star that broke the heavens, the humans grew an affinity with the three little moons high above: Vira, Kindra, and Tello. Each of the little moons are named after the three great heroes from The Beginning, when the world was infested with semi-sentient monsters. These three banded together to purify the land, each with their own strengths.

    Kindra guided the group through the lands by listening to the whispers of the wind, which in turn gifted her children and those with a connection to the moon an affinity to hear many things others can’t— secrets of others, where safe havens reside, the location of fresh water. Tello protected the group from the threats that terrorized them. It’s said that when Kindra fell to the fighting, Tello gasped a great breath of air, one so full of raw emotion it caused her chest to glow like the embers of a fire. When she released that breath, a wave of flames expelled from her body, eradicating the terrors before them. Her children were given the gift of harnessing fire to protect their loved ones. Not many have had the same fire breathing ability, but it is common to control and grow fire from few embers. Finally, when Vira saw her fallen companion she ran to her aid. In her hurry, Vira tripped and fell on a rock, slicing her arm open. Through her moments of grief, she hardly realized her blood had healed the wounds of Kindra until she had locked Vira in an embrace. Through this final gift, Vira’s children were dubbed the healers— those who can knit together the seams in people through the blood of others.

    I’m some writings, the three great heroes are said to be the daughters of the great Goddess Aizeld. In others, they are said to be merely humans. In elven teachings, they are said to be elves with the strongest bond to Goddess Aizeld than any other being.

    For centuries, the elves have been enslaved by the humans. Within the last century, though, Empress Ryha of the Elven clan rose to power among her peers and pushed the humans back with finality, or so it seemed. No longer would her people be used as slaves, be kept as pets, or suffer the scrutiny under the human’s reign now that there are no humans left to oppress them. Despite the economic advantage enslaving the humans would give to Lady Ryha’s newfound country, she opted against it understanding that one day the humans would rebel just as she and her ancestors had done. For now, her and her people live in peace, enjoying the fruits of their labor.

    Humans have now recessed to isolated areas of the country, as well as below the ground, and other hiding places still kept secret from the monarchy ruling over the land. In these spaces, rebellion is brewing among the human communities. Unrest from the genocidal actions of the elves, unrest from the sickness and famine running rampant, unrest of being powerless now that barely anyone has any affiliation to the moons. What would become of these people?

    The Plots

    1. Muse A is an elf who just wants to live a quiet, peaceful life after serving under the Empress. Muse B is a human part of the newfound rebellion. When Muse A is kidnapped by Muse B/Muse B’s group, whether by accident or targeted, for extraction of eleven information and militant tactics, Muse A must make the choice. Will they keep quiet and maintain the genocide committed against the humans, or will they turn against their own kind to help these people in need?

    2. Muse A and B decide to journey together, despite their races, to try and solve the mystery of why there are minimal people gifted with abilities.

    3. Muse A is half elf, half human. In this war, they are caught in the middle. With a foot on both sides of the line, which side will they choose in the end? Who do they identify with? Muse B is an elf, except they don’t have an affinity for nature like the other gifted elves. Instead, they have an affinity toward one of the moons, like humans do. When Muse A and B realize they’re in similar neutral positions, what will they do? Will they go on a journey to find answers of who they are? Will they try to stop the fighting among the two races? Or are these two fighting a losing battle?

    Hey i’d deff be down for a rp! 🙂 I’m reading your lore/idea right now, I’m not too new to rp but I don’t have a lot of experience, I’m working on expanding my experience! I can do a NB character or Female, whatever works with you! I don’t play we’ll as males so I would love the idea of FxF or FxNB! Works a bit better with me since I am trans FtNB so I feel like I personally work better with female character(s) or NBs! 😀 I love the idea of a OOC chat and becoming friends within the chat! I made a lot of friends via roleplay out of characters, this highly sparked my interest so! :3 Excited to see a reply!

     

    I also normally do short replies but if I have enough to roleplay off of I think I should be fine! I can be pretty active but atm I’m not too active since I don’t have any current roleplays going on! 🙂

     

    Edit: the last plot sparks a interest to me!

    I like the second idea. Two academics traveling together studying history and magic. Gives me Indiana Jones/The Mummy vibes. Lots of cool possibilities.
