- CastingFirst and foremost, before I explain how exactly the casting for this writing experience will go, I would like to say that this roleplay is looking for all sorts of different characters of all different ages, genders, etcetera. Hence, do not be afraid to apply even if the characters you had in mind do not fit the main cast—the main cast isn’t the entire story’s focus.
For the main cast, there are 5 spots waiting to be filled by unique and 3-dimensional characters which fit the following description:
Witch (of age 16-27), part of the Coven of Salem.
For the side cast, there is an unlimited amount of spots waiting to be filled by unique and 3-dimensional characters which fit the following descriptions:
Witch (of age less than 16 or more than 27), part of Coven of Salem,
Undiscovered witch/warlock (of any age), not part of Coven of Salem,
Human/Supernatural creature (of age 16+), living in or around the town of Salem, MA.

Character SuggestionsTo start us off, here are a few ideas to get your smart brain brewing a lovely character. Do not take these ideas as a must, they're just ideas for characters that would work in the roleplay which does not mean that a character that you might have in mind will not work.
Main Cast Characters – A witch who just joined the coven and doesn't even know how to control her powers yet; a witch who just joined the coven, but knows how to control her powers very well; a witch who doesn't even want to be part of the coven, but is because of her family; a witch who has been part of the coven since birth; a witch who was part of the coven for a long time but still doesn't know exactly what her power is...
Side Cast Characters – A witch/warlock who doesn't yet know they're a witch/warlock; a human who just knows that something is not as it seems and is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery; a lone witch/warlock keeping their eyes on the coven from afar; a human just pulled into the shenanigans of the coven...
- Rules
- Bullying, bigotry, and out of character drama are not welcome in this roleplay and will not be tolerated. Any issues that you may have with another person in the roleplay should be handled in between the two parties or through me (both ways with utmost respect and dignity).
- This will not be first come, first serve. Only the characters most fitting for the roleplay will be accepted into the main cast (5 spots). The amount of side characters accepted is (at this time) unlimited, however, the side characters still have to make sense with the setting and the story or they will not be accepted.
- All OOC talk will be taking place over Discord. If you’re interested in being part of this roleplay, having a Discord account is a requirement.
- This will be a literate roleplay. What this means is that one-liners will not be accepted as responses. At least two paragraphs of text will be expected of you per response. That being said, as long as you move the scene along with your post, and give your partner/s something to work with, you’re golden.
- A certain level of activity will be expected of you if you want to be part of this roleplay. A post/reply/response every two days will be the minimum. It is understandable that real life comes in the way, and if circumstances lead you to the inability to follow this rule 100% of the time, that is completely fine, however, if you know that you will not post at the frequency specified, please do not apply.
- All RPNation rules apply.
QuestionsWhat is the difference between the main cast and the side cast?
The story of Rebecca Padden and her disappearance will be what the main cast will mostly be focused on. What the impending doom that she was talking about was, and many more questions are things that the main cast characters will be exploring alongside their personal relationships and plotlines. The side cast characters will not have to focus on this and will be able to only chase their relationships and plotlines with only faintly referencing the impending doom as a mere background event.
Why even separate characters into casts?
There is a story that I would like to explore with the 6 witches in the coven figuring out what exactly is happening in Salem, and how it could change their lives forever. I can’t have 15+ characters exploring the same mystery, however, I want the world to have more than just the story I would like to explore, hence separating the characters into two casts.
Can I apply only with a side character?
Of course! Side cast characters are characters no less than main cast characters. You are free to explore whatever story you want with your side cast character, even interact with the main cast characters. In fact, you would be much freer than if you had a main cast character, and for some roleplayers that is a big plus.
Can I still be part of the main cast’s story if I don’t have a main cast character?
To a certain extent, yes. Your character can definitely be part of the main cast’s story, but, at the end of the day, they will not be as prominent to the main cast’s story as the 6 main cast characters. If it fits with the story, there is even a possibility of opening up more spots in the main cast, however, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
How do powers/abilities work in this world?
Like mentioned on the interest check, every witch has a unique power which is a collection of different abilities all relating to one element/aspect/part of life and nature. If a witch’s power was connecting to animals, for example, her collection of abilities would include talking to animals, controlling animals, metamorphosing into an animal, or even more than that. Obviously metamorphosing into an animal would take much more practice and control of one’s power than simply talking to animals, which is what you should take into account when writing about your character’s abilities.
- Bullying, bigotry, and out of character drama are not welcome in this roleplay and will not be tolerated. Any issues that you may have with another person in the roleplay should be handled in between the two parties or through me (both ways with utmost respect and dignity).
