Hey all, this is my first group rp, hopefully I'll get to know a few of you.
This is going to be a fairly loose rp, without a specific plot, but if folk have ideas theyd like to add, just say and i'll almost definitly be cool with it.
Im not going to be super strict with grammer, but the more effort people put in, the more fun they'll have.
The whole point of the thread is fun, and some of the best rp's i've had have been about going to the beach or someones birthday and the hijinks that ensue, so don't feel your ideas have to be world changing.
Now then, the scene.
Free folk and humans have long been aware of each other, but have led seperate lives, with free folk living in the coldest of artics, the highest of mountains, the deepest of forests.
Consequently while they each know of the others existence, very little is known about each other.
The leaders of the world, Mayors and tribe leaders, Queens and Presidents have regularly held meetings to keep the peace, but the ever expanding towns and citied have began to border on enchanted forests, and tensions have started to rise.
The leaders of one small town and it's forest have met together, and decided to set an exampler of peaceful cohabitation to the benefit of all.
To this end, your leaders have summoned you and a group of other representatives to leave the forest and live in an apartment in the centre of town, alongside some normal humans.
This will be filmed and broadcast, in the hopes of showing that 'monsters' can live alongside humans, and even enhance their lives.
You have been summoned to a meeting in the centre of the forest, where you will be adressed and taken to your new homes...
People's characters should be either a free folk of the forest, or one of the humans who already lives in the apartment. The apartment will have shared living space and bedrooms.
As there is no specific major plot people will be able to drop in and out to a fair degree, but obviously the more you are in the better.
Try to keep your characters well balanced, if they are powerful, they should have an equal degree of weaknesses.
You can be absolutely any kind of spirit, faerie, monster or sprite you like, but you'll earn a bonus point with me if you pick something fairly rare like a Vodanoy or a specific type of faerie like a rose sprite.
But, above all, have fun!
Heres an example character sheet (with my character.)

Name: Florence (No second name)
Alias: Flow
Age: Looks about 18, is around 23.
Gender: Female
Species: Naiads; A Greek type of water spirit that lives in small lakes, etc. Whilst in water they are completly soluble and can reshape themselves, add water to their mass, etc, but outside of water they appear human but with a waterfall of hair. Generally live in peace without bothering other species, but occasionaly one decides to leave. Outside of water they can turn into a puddle to avoid harm, but if any water is lost when they reform they will have much less mass unless they return to their source water to reabsorb. They can temporarily absorb other sources of water to throw around, temporarily change shape etc, but the only water they can permenantly keep is their source water. They are also poisioned by salt water, and are vunerable to extremes of temprature. In cold they can freeze up, and in heat they can evaporate and have trouble keeping shape.
Appearance: Wears simple clothes, has a faint blue tinge to skin and has flowing water for hair which matches the colour of their source water (In this case; the sort of colour a fresh water fountain is.)
View attachment 10743
Looks like this while solid, but the hair is constantly flowing.
Personality: Generally happy and cheerful, but has very little exposure to the world beyond the small fountain she grew up in, so is easily delighted, shocked or saddened by the outside world, her limited experience with people outside of her lake makes her unusally trusting of strangers, even though she knows bad people etc exist, she hasn't really experienced them first hand, so always expects people to be good until they prove otherwise.
Naiads are nymphs who preside over fountains, wells, springs, streams, and brooks.
In Florences case, a spring.
The woods have a series of magical barriers that keep dangerous monsters out, as well as stopping mechanical weaponary from working. Each tribe of free folk maintains one of the magical source points in the centre of the woods that maintains the barrier, and Florence lives in a great fountain that rests over the water spirit seal.
The Naiad species as a whole gets on very well with other free folk, as they are happy to channel water to other species who need it, and have no border disputes etc as they have no need of dry land.
They get on well with other water creatures such as mermaids and Undine, as since they don't need a physical space whilst in water they can co enhabit the same places.
They have the best relationships with Dryads and other plant related spirits, as the Naiads keep there trees well watered in return for the Dryads filtering out impurities from their water to keep it clean.
They are closely related to other water creatures such as mermaids, and to faeries.

On a warm dusty summer evening, the leaders of the various peoples of the forest sat alongside the mayor, on a rough stage constructed of wood.
The Dryads had been insistent only deadwood was used for it's construction, so it was a little uneven, but servicable. A ruddy orange glow of fire illuminated the clearing, and the trees had willingly leaned back to allow the suns remaining light to fully enter the area.
There was to be a party held in honour of the new spirit of cooperation between the people of the forest and the town, to allow the selected individuals who would soon be living together to get to know one another.
Some of them already knew each other, and some of them had ever met.
The morning after the party they were going to be shown to the apartment and given a tour of the town where they would be living.
The party was scheduled to start soon, and new arrivals were sure to be arriving soon.
The meeting was by the great magic seal of the water-folk, and there was a table with drinks and food laid out by the fountain.
A band was setting up their instruments for a performance, and people were just starting to converge...
