On a dark, stormy night in London, there was a strange occurrence that went unnoticed by people who passed by. Over the next few nights, these occurrences began to happen more frequently, and around the world. There was one in Beijing, New York City, Paris, Tokyo, Ottawa, and Mexico City. Over time, they began to spread out into rural and suburban areas as well. They all went unnoticed just like the one in London, until a group of kids individually discovered the occurrences. For some reason, adults can't see them, and only kids up to the age of 19 can, if at all. The first kids who did stumble upon these occurrences realized that they were a type of portal, or gateway, that lead them into an entirely different world, very much unlike their own. The humans could end up anywhere on the other side.
This other world that the kids stumbled upon is called Quarris, comprised of creatures and humanoid-like beings completely unlike the people they know back at home. There is such a variety of them that they can hardly keep up with every species they come across. They are friendly to the humans, so they quickly found friendships among the new beings. The creatures can go to the human world, but only for 24 hours before they disintegrate into the human's atmosphere. On the other hand, the humans may stay in Quarris for an unlimited amount of time. The kids soon found that there are certain objects in Quarris that could give them special abilities as long as they had that item in their possession. The objects sometimes work in their home world, but the powers aren't nearly as strong.
The kids all fell deeply in love with this new place, but soon found that something is awry. A dark creature had began to try and take over Quarris with the assistance of dark, shadowy minions. It is up to the humans to assist the creatures in destroying the dark shadowy beings and their leader, or else the evil creatures would begin to seep into the human world and wreak havoc.
I believe I covered everything. Otherwise, use the site rules, and have fun creating and role playing!
Here are the character skeletons. Try not to give everything away about your character(s) so things about them can be discovered over time.

As people come up with different species of creatures, I'm going to list them here. They are all free to choose from and you can be any one you would like as long as you stay true to their creator's description. It would be more realistic (despite the unrealistic, fantasy plot) if more people chose creatures that were already created. That doesn't mean I don't want lots of new creatures! Feel free to post more creatures, even if you aren't playing as them.
List of Creatures:
Greenie- a tall, slender creature that is, of course, green. The shades of green can vary. They have no nose, milky, white eyes, and two pairs of large pointy ears on either side of their head (think elf-like). They have only two toes on each foot. Their upper backs usually get smooth bumps as they get older that are the size of a quarter and can be any color. The rest of their physical appearance is similar to that of a human. Their average life-span is 130 years. They are born from transparent, silicone-like, soft shelled, birthing pods (or eggs) that are built and fertilized by their parents. Usually there are several children born at one time in separate pods.
Rippens- a humanoid bird species closely related to that of their Harpie siblings. The only real differences between Rippens and Harpies is that their wings resemble something that would belong to a large bat and they have incredibly sharp teeth, which they commonly use to help with their diet of rocks and trees. Rippens aren't known for being the smartest of creatures.
CREATURE
Name: Margo Doss
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Species: Greenie- a tall, slender creature that is, of course, green. The shades of green can vary. They have no nose, milky, white eyes, and two pairs of large pointy ears on either side of their head (think elf-like). They have only two toes on each foot. Their upper backs usually get smooth bumps as they get older that are the size of a quarter and can be any color. The rest of their physical appearance is similar to that of a human. Their average life-span is 130 years. They are born from transparent, silicone-like, soft shelled, birthing pods (or eggs) that are built and fertilized by their parents. Usually there are several children born at one time in separate pods.
Personality: Margo is a really upbeat, and curious girl. She tends to be a little ditsy and has a hard time taking things seriously. She loves to explore new places and solve mysteries. She is also a very loving person and tries to get along with everyone, no matter how disagreeable someone may be.
Appearance: For a Greenie, Margo is relatively short for her age, only reaching the height of 5"4. She has straight, black, jaw-length hair and light green skin. On her back, there already appears to be several bright orange bumps that she likes to flaunt by wearing tank tops with a low back. She typically wears the tank tops with mini skirts and her black pea coat. Her favorite footwear is her bright red rain boots.
History: Out of all of her siblings, of which she has 16, she is the shortest. They pick on her about her stunted growth and like to call her Stumpy. Her parents do not favor this nickname but they have always treated her like the younger sibling by mistake, even though she is the same age as five other siblings. To make up for her lack of height, Margo likes to go on daring adventures which involve a lot of danger to prove that she is as strong willed as the rest of her siblings, if not stronger. This often leads to her getting lost and her family has often formed search parties to go after her.
Her crazy adventures did lead her to discover a strange looking child who is even shorter than herself. She found out that the child calls herself a human and her name is Molly. Margo quickly becomes best friends with this strange human girl and plays with her whenever she comes around.
Special Ability: Margo discovered at an earlier age, when she first began to get her bumps, that she had the ability to make them glow. The more bumps she grows, the brighter they glow. This is handy in dark places.
Other: During one of Margo's adventures, she discovered a large, black, headless dog aimlessly wandering a forest. For some reason, instead of being absolutely terrified by the fact that this dog was still alive and had no head, she felt sympathy for the creature and took it home with her. The dog quickly took to her and is very loyal. Despite not having a head, it can somehow understand Margo perfectly. The dog is larger than her, standing at the intimidating height of 5"7. She named him Poncho and uses him as a mount to get around.
HUMAN
Name: Molly Williams
Age: 10
Gender: Female
Personality: Generally quiet around most people, especially strangers. When she gets close to someone she warms up to them and is able feel confident about talking more freely. She is very sweet and kind, and she never has a bad thing to say about anyone. Very mellow temperament.
Appearance: 4"3 with average weight for a 10 year old. She has long, thin, wispy blonde hair that goes down to her back. Her eyes are glazed but you can still tell they are a very pale blue; typically she wears a pair of bright, pink-rimmed sunglasses to hide them. Her face is rounded with a soft sprinkle of freckles and she has a short nose accompanied by a thin mouth, but a wide smile.
History: Molly has been blind ever since she was born. Her eyes already had the glazed look that some blind people have, and her parents like to say that an angel kissed them. Since she was born without sight, it was easy for her to adapt to society rather than someone who had lost the ability to see later in life. She even has her own seeing eye dog, named Snowy, who accompanies her everywhere she goes. Both of her parents have taken good care of her and they have always been very nurturing. Molly's mom and dad plan to continue home schooling her until she requests otherwise, but she is perfectly content at home. She is a single child and can be very shy around new people. Once she opens up she is very sweet and kind, but still remains calm even for a child her age.
While taking her dog out for a walk around the backyard one day, Molly felt a strange chill and tickling sensation all around her. Her dog whined and she realized something wasn't quite right. Walking forward a little, she felt that the ground was no longer the soft grass she had previously been standing in, and it had an almost mossy kind of texture to it. She called out for her parents but they did not reply. Instead, something else did, but it sounded friendly. It turned out that the person who had responded was a creature unlike any she had ever stumbled upon, but found this out much later. The creature's name is Margo, and she has a dog of her own that quickly became playmates with Snowy. Now Molly goes to visit Margo and her faithful companion whenever the opportunity arises. She has told her parents all about this place and her new friends, but they just seemed to be proud of their daughter for having such a unique imagination.
Talents: Can read 6th grade level brail, has excellent hearing, and knows piano basics.
Other: Her seeing eye dog, Snowy, is the picture perfect, yellow Labrador Retriever.

1. You can choose to either have a creature or a human character. If you are a creature, you have free reign over what kind of humanoid or monster-like thing that you want your character to be. Be creative and unique! Please refrain from using nekos or anthropomorphic beings.
2. You are limited to two characters. However, if you choose to have two, I ask that you have one human and one creature.
3. If you have a human character, you can start off by discovering the portal, or start as if you've already discovered it. Remember, kids have discovered these portals at different times because they are each found at random locations around the world.
4. As for the objects, only humans who find them can use their powers. For some reason, the creatures can't use them, but they typically have some sort of natural ability themselves. The humans have to acquire an object as the role play goes on, and they cannot start out with them. They may only have one object at a time equipped, but may have many stored elsewhere and can change them out. The object can be pretty much anything that your character is able to carry. If there is a problem with it, I will let you know.
5. This is a literate role play, and it requires proper grammar, proper spelling, and at least two paragraphs per post. They must be in third person.
6. Most romance is available for ages 17 and upwards, and it may be role played, but try to not to elaborate too much or just fade to black. Below 17, characters are allowed to have light romances and crushes, but nothing too intimate, please. That's gross.
