searching [OOC] The School of Good and Evil (Fairy Tale Roleplay) WIP

[GreyScholar 1,584]

In The Forest Primeval

A School For Good And Evil

Two Towers Like Twin Heads

One For The Pure

One For The Wicked

Try To Escape You’ll Always Fail

The Only Way Out

Is Through A Fairy Tale

There are five rules that separate Good from Evil

1. The Evil attack. The Good defend.

2. The Evil punish. The Good forgive.

3. The Evil hurt. The Good help.

4. The Evil take. The Good give.

5. The Evil hate. The Good love.

As long as you obey the rules for your side, you have the best possible chance of surviving your fairytale.

School of Good
As an Ever, you join a pantheon of great heroes that have graduated from the school, including Peter Pan, Snow White, Aladdin, Cinderella, King Arthur, and Rapunzel.

School of Evil
As a Never, you join a pantheon of great villains that have graduated from the school, including Captain Hook, the Snow Queen, the Big Bad Wolf, the White Witch, and Rumplestiltsken.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This roleplay will play out like many other fantasy school settings, though perhaps unique in the fact that it encourages both Good and Evil characters, ones that must grow into their roles of which ever fairy tale they will eventually become a part of by teaching what they will need to survive and find purpose in the Endless Woods that will becoming the setting of their story. Divided into Evers and Nevers, by there being two schools side by side, they will often find themselves in competition with their opposing side.

Remember though, not everything is black and white, many secrets are there to find that show the cruelty of Grimm Fairytales and other stories. There will not always be a Happily Ever After, Good may suffer from defeat and Evil may find victory. Punishments and curses abound, while some of the darker aspects of the stories people have grown to love are revealed.



1. Must be an even amount of Princes and Princesses
2. No more then half of the Good characters can be princes and princesses.
3. A prince must keep his promises or come at risk of becoming a villain.
4. Two characters may be Readers, no more and no less, that are outsiders that know of fairytales from books.
4. Your character, if not a Reader, may have a known fairy tale character as family member/ancestor
5. Failed students will become unplayable, their fate learned of during roleplay (no spoilers).
6. Remember your characters are in training and thus will not have amazing powers, though every character will have a special talent or ability they must discover.
7. Character ideas must relate to fairy tales or other such stories. Keep in mind that this seems to count the likes of King Arthur and Anastasia.

 

Character Creation:

Either pick one of your MLP characters and alter them to fit in this setting or create a new character of the pony races (no alicorns, either school), bat ponies (mostly School of Evil), griffins (mostly School of Evil), zebras (either school though more accepted in School of Evil), deer (mostly School of Good). If not one of the two readers you character may be related to a known European fairy tale or Arthurian character.

Special Rule for Readers:
One will join Good and the other Evil, though there will be a degree of chance on where they may go. Meaning for the player there is the chance the character may not go to the school you wanted them or planned on them going to. Thus requiring you to play your characters in these schools even if they feel they don't belong.

The school master's tower that holds a powerful artifact.

A powerful...hmm. Oh yeah, what were the conditions for making our OC's? Human or pony? Or have we decided that yet?

[GreyScholar 1,584]

Have not decided it pony or human based but I am creating the rules now.

[Trevor Bright 872]

Ok. Cause I got an OC that I made a while back that's a human...er, half elf. He can be made human for this RP though if needed.

[PurplePony 484]

Yeah, I would like to know what I can make... what are the stipulations and guidelines. What are you looking for?

[GreyScholar 1,584]

Ok. Cause I got an OC that I made a while back that's a human...er, half elf. He can be made human for this RP though if needed.

 

He could have a fey parent or be a changling (as in a child taken by fairies).

 

Updated, added rules.

[PurplePony 484]

The role of a reader really interests me.. What would you want from one of those?

[Trevor Bright 872]

Hmm. Yeah...well. We'll see. Depends on if we're doing human or not. Actually, either way, my character is most likely going to be in the mischief tower. 

[GreyScholar 1,584]

The role of a reader really interests me.. What would you want from one of those?

The Readers were originally chosen by the late School Master, 'normals' brought/kidnapped to the school. Always two, whether both males/both females/or male and female with one being the hero and the other the villain. Their fairy tale would then be set back to their 'village'. Originally Readers were taken in because of what was called the Reader Prophecy but that it seems has been fulfilled.

Don't exactly work like that but okay.

[PurplePony 484]

Fulfilled as in not able to post as one or that is their back ground? Either way it sounds cool. One could defiantly build an interesting Character. 

[Anon In Equestria 57]

I would like in what are the requirements for evil ocs

[GreyScholar 1,584]

Fulfilled as in not able to post as one or that is their back ground?

 

The Reader Prophey it seems to have been fulfilled, so at this point I would say it is more because of tradition.

[Skycoaster 697]

I'm in. I just have to work on an OC to use for this when the time comes.

[RAGESTAR 479]

I have a question. Does Greek myth stories count as fairy tales? Because I was hoping to make my character a descendant of Hercules.

[GreyScholar 1,584]

No it is mostly fairytales not related to gods, folklore, and legends with a few other stories mixed in such as Peter Pan.

[PurplePony 484]

I am in as well.. I just gotta fix up my OC add details or fix up parts ect.

[GreyScholar 1,584]

From what I could gather from the book it treats Grimm Fairytales, the Arthurian legends, Peter Pan, and other such stories as real.

-----------------

Update, if you have any questions I will see about them answered in my original post.

[Trevor Bright 872]

So to submit an OC...

[GreyScholar 1,584]

Either pick one of your MLP characters and alter them to fit in this setting or create a new character of the pony races (no alicorns, either school), bat ponies (mostly School of Evil), griffins (mostly School of Evil), zebras (either school though more accepted in School of Evil), deer (mostly School of Good).

[Trevor Bright 872]

Huh. Try...Hmm. Steve seems the most harmless...are companions allowed? 

[The Original 571]

Huh, this looks very interesting... But also very detailed. Its so compelling to try it out...

 

But, at the same time its a bit confusing.
