overview.
Souwara Prefecture — Iwakami Village, 20XX.
Nestled at the base of a mountain and surrounded by a forest on all sides, Iwakami Village seems for all intents and purposes a sleepy village whose rice fields seem to stretch on for miles. But despite the idyllic picture the town makes, it harbors a dark secret that snakes through the winding streets and is whispered about in the dead of night.
For as long as anyone can remember, children have gone missing in the forest. The older generation mutter stories of a vengeful spirit taking its revenge on the town for a wrong committed in a time long past but the younger generation scoff at such fairy-tales and warn parents to keep a better eye on their children.
Children are urged to be home before the sun dips below the horizon, but despite the precautions, the vanishings continue. All those who wander into the forest are never seen or heard from again...until that all changed.
Six children taken at different times throughout the years all returned home relatively unscathed for having spent time in the forest. Their memories of their time spent in the forest were blank and each of them reported hearing a voice calling to them right before their memory grows hazy.
Alongside their missing memory, something precious had been taken from each child; whether that be one of their senses or memories of an important person in their life, these children returned from the forest changed. Most of the villagers brushed this off as trauma from their time spent in the forest but the more superstitious whispered that the children were cursed.
The disappearances stopped after the last child returned home, which only strengthened the rumors of the curse. Despite what happened to them as children, these six individuals grew up and eventually moved away from the villager to walk their own path in life.
But now, for reasons specific to them, the six have returned to the village.
The forest calls to them once more.

Hi everyone! Thank you for taking the time to read through my ramblings. I've recently been playing Forest of Drizzling Rain, which is the main inspiration for this roleplay! Knowledge of the game is not required, as this roleplay is set in its own fictional universe with it's own plot. The story follows six adults who have returned to their home town of their childhood. Their reason for returning is up to the players and I'm allowing the creation of normal villagers to help fill in the spaces. Spooky times are ahead, so I hope you enjoy your time in Iwakami Village!

Those that heard the forests call as children. They were not the same as they were before they had been taken by the forest and the other villagers shunned them because of it, thinking them to be cursed. They eventually moved away from the village to pursue different paths in life but now years later, they have returned to the place they once called home.

unlimited
Perhaps they lost someone to the forest or perhaps they choose not to believe in that superstitious nonsense. Regardless of where they stand regarding the forest, these are the villagers that were born into the village and have stayed put whether of their own volition or not.
