The Darker Side of the Fae

[Esoteric Myobi]

This game is currently underway and links to the game threads can be found on the first post of the OOC thread. At the moment we are mostly looking for male characters (you don't need to be a male player to play a male character!) for both faeries and humans. Of course, new female recruits are welcome as well. Please keep in mind that even though you may be a human, this does not necessarily mean that you must play a victim as well. Faeries do so love a challenge and if you can present one then they'll gladly take you up on it. Try to turn the tables and keep things interesting eh? ;) Some faeries might actually like to be dominated as well~

Central Park. Probably the only place in New York City that has so many trees in one place. Smack dab in the middle of a sea of concrete and looming skyscrapers, a nicely groomed little jungle sits its fat green ass down and then the people wonder why traffic is so damn bad. Ah, yea. Breathe in that nice clean air, you'd almost think you were out in the country if not for the fumes of car exhaust choking your lungs. Not to mention the glaringly bright lights that illuminate the night sky. Yup, this is the city that never sleeps alright...who sleeps when it's daytime twenty-four hours, seven days a week? That'd just be losing precious money there! Stop anyone on Wall Street and you'll soon realize that you can't, they're too busy rushing off to their next destination to pay a damn tourist any mind. On the other hand, drop by Times Square and all the hawkers on the sidewalks will be dragging you to their stands. Fake designer bags, to those hideous caricatures, and of course all other knock offs that a tourist can imagine. Oh yea, that giant 'Going Out of Business' sign? It's only been there for the past oh...five years? Great business I tell ya.

As lovely as the city is, it's the park that really kills ya. Literally. All the crazies live here, especially when the weather's nice like it has been lately. But there's no one crazier than Old Henry. Bum's been squatting on the same bench for years now. Apparently he used to be some big shot. Real smart. Always preached on and on about science and life and all that but lately he's been raving about fairies. It's hilarious, look, he's doing it again...

*     *     *     *     *

You always thought fairy tales were nothin' more than stories. Children's bedtime stories. Delightful lil fantasies spun up to provoke sweet dreams in those little fluff filled minds of yours. Yea, how did that little poem go again? Visions of sugar plums dancing atop empty heads? What are sugar plums anyway? Literally just candied fruit! Last time I saw em they didn't have legs to dance on and the greedy lil kid wouldn't share anyway. So I told him Santa ain't real and damn! Rudolph was tasty last winter! Hah! Betcha that kid wanted to gimme those damned prunes then eh?

Bah! Anyway. Besides the obvious fact that Saint Nic ain't real..psh really now, who ever heard of a fat old man flying through the sky and up and down chimneys? Either he's anorexic or there were holes in people's ceilings in the past. Wouldn't be surprised given the circumstances that half the roofs were made of thatched wood.

Dammit! Quit gettin' me off topic here. Like I was sayin'! Fairy tales ain't nothin but shit. All that Disney crap? Ferget it! A talkin' mouse! It's a freakin' mutated rodent on crack! All those happy endings with the perfect morals..yeah there's a bit of that here and there, but the original stories, now that's the stuff. Gruesome murders, inhumane punishments, strange and unusually cruel magicks...it's amazin' the disgusting shit that people made up back in the day. Now it's all honeyed over. Everything's sweet and perfect and happily ever after.

Take Tinkerbell for example. Purty lil thang ain't she? Blonde lil pipsqueak, probably only six inches tall, and a babe if you stare closely enough. God if they made her bigger I'm bettin'  Peter wouldn't even bat an eye at Wendy, he'd be too busy fuckin' the chick with wings. Funny thing is, Disney wasn't all that wrong about her. Dumbed her down about ten times from the real shit, but they still covered all the bases.

How do I know this? Hey, git back here! Kids these days don't ever listen to the end, and I ain't even fuckin' drunk yet. Look. I used to be just like you. Stupid, ignorant, and snotty. Yea, that's right, I just called you a bitch, you got a problem with that? But everything changed that one night, right here in this damn park, when I saw it. A faerie.

Don't look at me like that, and quit shufflin' away. I may look homeless but I'm not crazy ya hear? I saw it. I saw Tinkerbell...and a helluva lot more...

Faeries. They're abominable lil creatures. Real pretty though, each and every single one a babe, even the dudes could model for Abercrombie if they ever started sellin' gay dolls. From what I've seen these days I'd say half those models weren't straight anyway. Too damn good lookin'. You know what they say. If they're hot n' single, he's gay!

So yea. Lookin' at those pretty lil critters with their delicate wings, they hypnotize you or somethin'. That innocent lil face with those cocksucker lips, shaking those teeny hips...hell I didn't care if I was drunk or not I was gonna get me some of that! Next thing I knew this guy in front of me disappeared! Took a step forward and poof, gone. Makes ya wonder eh? Just how many of those reports about a missing person are actually faeries lurin' people away? I'm warnin' ya kid! One of these days, you're gonna end up the same as that fool. Don't say you didn't know when it happens...

*     *     *     *     *

See, what'd I tell ya man? Guy's a hoot. He's been going on and on about this faerie business for the past few weeks already. Huh, anyway. It's getting pretty late and I gotta get going. Catch you some other time yea?

Welcome to Flight of the Faeries! Humans beware as faeries are near. It's springtime and the weather's getting nice out, ever seen the off-season firefly? Well, maybe it's really not a firefly after all. Here is a game filled with malignantly mischievous faeries, definitely not the sweet little Tinkerbells portrayed by Disney but going way back to old folk lore. Meaning faeries who lure humans into their realm and trap them there forever. Either to be used as a plaything, or some other purposes, a form of entertainment as they join the never-ending dance alongside rotting corpses and a few skeletons as well. Anything to ease the boredom for some time. All to entertain the Faerie Queen at the Seelie Court of course.

Humans who enter Arcadia are doomed to spend the rest of their lives there if they have stayed for the span of two days (48 hours). If individuals who stumbled into the mystical world are lucky enough to find their way back out...well props to them for outsmarting the wicked creatures. If not, well that's just too bad...better start learning to enjoy life in an alternate dimension!

Faeries come in all shapes and sizes, all colors of the rainbow and anything else that fits your imagination. Of course, faeries are not limited to females even though they may be the majority. Male faeries also make up a smaller part of the population. While frequenting the mortal world, they are unable to access their reservoir of magicks, thus the tiny miniature forms. However, upon re-entering their homeland, they resume their 'true' form and are able to freely drawn upon the limitless amount of magick available in the land. Basically, a faerie's true form can be standing at a height of five feet or what have you...they just happen to shrink to about five to six inches once they step onto the polluted land of the humans.

This game is plain and simple, nothing fancy, nothing that would require too much thinking since it is a game that can be categorized as...well...a stress reliever! Everyone can get caught up in life or be having muse issues and I hope everyone can respect that and give each other time to respond. We only want fun here which means plenty of comfort and understanding from all players. :-)

As for posting time...I say take your time! Once a week is good enough for me, and if you can manage to kick out more than that...great! Being a rather slow poster myself (though this one probably won't take me nearly as long) I won't nag others on the same issue. Though if you have disappeared for a month already then a PM shall be sent your way. We're all people, we've all got lives, muses are emotional little creatures and tend to go haywire, along with dealing with life. Hey, no biggie.

When it comes to post length, I don't think there will be too many lengthy ones for this game (but don't take this as me saying 'No huge posts allowed!') but I would like to see at least a good paragraph or two...or three...-cough-...Alright, let's just say...enough to let the other player have something to work with, however many that may be. =) Follow the golden rule, keeps life simple.

Oh and, since I forgot to mention this, being a free-for-all game there are no restrictions for sexuality and whatnot. Relationships, pairings, etc, they can and hopefully will happen as the game progresses (as long as we have enough people of course). After all, this is a game of exploration, experimentation, and just delving into places that you never dared to venture into before! Also, this game can and may involve several players so we may have newcomers from time to time, which is always encouraged of course...who doesn't love to see new faces?

This section will be updated as the spots are filled so please check back from time to time to see which spots are filled and which are still open. Now then, on to the positions...these are just a few that popped into my mind so feel free to suggest others that come to mind. Of course, for humans, just think up anything that seems reasonable for your character. Or maybe they're even unemployed at the moment.

• Singer, Dancer, Musician (pick an instrument for specialty) - These are pretty straightforward and simple, no explanation needed hopefully.
• Artist - A landscape artist or even a florist...paint the landscape (literally and figuratively) and mold it to your own desires. Add a few unique flowers that have not yet been created on the face of Earth yet, or perhaps even a few trees that have a mind of their own.
• Inventors - Of course, we've got to have a few of the crazies even in FairyWorld! Mad scientists or any such thing...inventions that work or inventions that are so outrageous they're mostly dubbed failures. Whatever it may be, tinker away!

Umm Lady Kitsune invited me. what exatly do you need? It seems like you are looking for humans. I guess I could do that. I was thinking of a Rocksta Singer/ Guitarist with a Special Case. His name is Zack Casey. His special case is anything bad that could have happened to him has happened. Parents and sister died. Best friend died in his arms. On top of that He's diagnosed with an incureable form of lung cancer. (This character is based off an old Whitewolf character I made a long time ago)

ok thanks

[Blaed]

Name: Nicholas Ezedro

Age: 24

Race: Human

Occupation: Store Clerk

Abilities: N/A

Appearance: 6' 1", 190 lbs. Nicholas as black hair that goes down to the bottom of his shoulder blades. He always wears it in a pony tail, only letting it down when he is at home. His eyes are a deep green color, and he thinks that they are the best thing about his body. His body is tone, but not overly. He has a big scar, starting over his heart and moving down and to the right ending up right in the middle of his chest. He never has any facial hair, not liking how it looks or feels on him. He always wears a black skin tight T shirt, with blue baggy jeans, and his black shoes. He used to have his left ear pierced, but he let it closed, but there is still a mark there. He wears a silver ring on his right ring finger, it was his uncles that passed away, and it is now his most prized possession.

Personality: Nicholas is an outgoing guy. He was raised in a large family, so talking to people is something that he enjoys doing. But he also loves to just ask questions about people. Even though he likes to ask them, he really does not like answering them. He does not trust many people in his life, having being hurt by the people that he loved so many times. He keeps just about everything that is personal to him, closed and locked up in his mind. If someone asks him too personal of a question, he will dodge it, or just brush it off. But that does not stop him from going up to people and trying to get to know them.
He is a very stubborn man, and he will stand up for what he thinks is right no matter what. He loves to argue with people, just because he gets a thrill from it. He will not just out right say someone is wrong unless he is very upset, he just keeps to what he believes in and fights to make people understand why he does. When he is proven wrong, he feels like he has failed in something, but he never knows what it is.

Biography: Nicholas was born into a very large family, the number of people in his generation of the family being 38. He was an only child to his mother, but not to his father. He had a child with another woman before he met his mother. It was a little girl, and is eight year older then Nicholas. He always loved his sister, and he grew up with her, she being his best friend and the only one that he trusted fully. While he grew up, he went through loves and lovers, but nothing too big, until he met Heather. He was older then him, by six years, and she had a child. At the time when he met Heather, Nicholas was already 18, and she was 24. Her child was just about two years old, and he was the most wonderful little boy that Nicholas ever seen. He dated Heather for a long time, and soon her little boy (His name being Mike) started to call him daddy. Both him and Heather were so happy with that, then he moved in, and they started to become a family. Soon, his sister Jess, thought that Heather was cheating on Nicholas with her ex, and father of Mike. She did not come to Nicholas with it, but confronted Heather about it. It started a fight, and soon, Nicholas had to pick a side. It was his sister, who had always looked out for him, and loved him dearly, or the women on his dreams, and mother of the boy that was calling him father. It tore him up, and he was unable to pick between them, and it end both of his relationships. Now, with the two people that he loved in his life the most, gone, and the little boy he saw as his son gone, he was a lost man.
He was now 20, and had nothing to do. He got fired from his job as a Manger for the district branch for a nation wide back. He now was just about homeless, unemployed, and alone in life. He soon found a simple job as a store clerk, it was not a good job at all, and most of the times had him working more then just 40 hours a week. But it was enough to keep him living. He started to become depressed, and visited the bars much. In one of them, he got into a fight with a man that was much bigger then him, and much drunker as well. It ended with a section of wood sticking out of his chest. He thought that he had died, but when he awoke in the hospital, he was just about sadden by it. He had wanted to die, he really did.
After spending a few weeks in the hospital, he was let out, and then got back to his crappy life. And nothing really happened, good or bad in the past four years. He was just the same, kind of sad man that was living his life. He still worked at the same place, still lived at the same place. He had a few women grace his bed sheets, but nothing that lasted more then a few days. His heart was still broken, and nothing but just pleasure interested him now.

I'd love to join in. Let me know if the character is okay.

Name: Troy Mathews
Age: 34
Race: Human
Occupation: Second Class Petty Officer US Navy.

Abilities: A Natural athlete Troy still holds his high schools record in the 40 yard dash. highly skilled in a variety of areas useful to shipboard and military life. Firefighting, First Aid, Self Defense, Fire Arms among many others.

Appearance: Almost everything about Troy appears average from his 5' 9" height  to his military styled light brown hair. he does have two things going for him however. His deep blue eyes have been know to make women swoon and his lips practically shout Kiss me! Oh and he wears the uniform very well. An eleven year veteran he has acquired a colorful vocabulary of Navy Slang words and the cockiness that comes with quite literally having at least one girl in every port. About the only thing he hasn't gotten down is the sailor's knack for drinking the bars dry, but that is only because he prefers not to.

Biography: Troy grew up in Phoenix, Arizona the eldest of two boys. His parents were some of the strictest parents ever and he practically out the door for Boot Camp four days after graduating high school. His first tour was on board the USS Independence in Japan. He instantly fell in love with all things Japanese. Four years later he returned state side, working at Top Gun in Fallon,Nevada.Eventually he ended up back in Japan on the USS Kitty Hawk. currently he is in New York City on leave -vacation.

An Irishman for you to molest. Faeries love Irishmen, right?

It's not hugely deep, but there's an underlying, believable character, and it's not terribly generic. I tried to suggest the possible storyline of him being conflicted between returning or not. I just didn't feel the need to detail a generic childhood. If anything comes up, I'm good at coming up with that sort of thing on the fly and keeping it remembered.

Name: Martin Mihangel
Age: 26
Race: Human
Occupation: Former Police Officer
Abilities: Simple Combat(and pistols)-Proficient wrestler and pugilist, as well as familiarity with simple weapons. Could probably be taught to use a sword or other archaic weapon with little trouble.
Irish Ancestry-Assists in holding his mead, as well as drunken and belligerent activities. Don't they also say the fey have a connection with the irish? Perhaps he can see things others can't, or maybe faeries just like the Irish. Only time will tell.
Appearance: 5'11" and somewhat well muscled, Martin's no bear, but he might be able to outrun one. He dresses well, in slacks and a button down shirt, but his clothes show their age, faded slightly and a little bit battered. His hair is a light, muddy brown, cropped short, with short sideburns down just below his ears. He keeps his chin clean shaven, but, kidnapped, he'll be developing some stubble within a day.
Biography: Originally from upstate, he moved into the city after getting his associate's degree in criminal justice, joining the NYPD. Generally a good and fair officer, he was the scapegoat of a department scandal about a month ago, seeing him lose his job. Having trouble getting another, he may be inclined to stick it out in another world, rather than his own.
Personality: Martin's generally relaxed and cautious, preferring to ask questions first, and shoot later. Jaded with his own world, he can be grim at times, but this place may be able to catch his attention.
