Helio

Setting: Time period unknown. Taking place mainly on the island of Helio.

Background: Helio is an island, roughly the size of Portugal, that sits well hidden in between Europe and Eastern America. There are strange mythical races that thrive there, and the only humans who live on it are those who accidentally landed there on a cruise, or are ancestors of those who escaped shipwrecks and such. It is governed in a Monarchy by Queen Heliotrope.

As you can imagine, they all live in fear of some explorer from another country discovering their well hidden sanctuary and the chaos it would birth if word got out about this desirable piece of land.

People: The 'people' of Helio include homo sapiens, Elves, vampires, werewolves, fairies, and drachea masillis (a terrible, man-eating beast).

Now: The peace on Helio has been disrupted by another arrival of cruise-escapees. This time, it may not go unnoticed, as evil thrives, though hidden, among several newbies.

You: You have the choice to be any member of any race mentioned above, or a new arrival. When writing your character profile, please use this format:

Name:
Gender:
Age:
Race:
Choose one: (Heliopian) or (New Arrival)
Appearance:
Personality (you may list some of their favorite things, a song that represents them, etc.):
Background (where from, magic-user, up for love, etc):


Rules:

-Basic Storybook RPG rules (no god-mod, no killing anyone else's character)
-You may use magic, but no invincibility (magic takes energy)
-No more than two characters at a time!
-No deciding other people's choices for them (e.g., good or evil, in love...)
-No, absolutely no degrading language towards others
-No heavy sexual content, please (a little is often enough in these matters)

I'll post my character right after this.

I believe that is all. PM me with any questions or suggestions.

NAME: Lavain Carter
GENDER: Female
AGE: 18
RACE: Heliopean--farie
APPEARANCE: Black hair, crazy unhuman bright blue eyes, pale skin, tall, has small hands and feet. Has her nose pierced.
PERSONALITY::She's really outgoing, her favorite song is All Around Me by Flyleaf, when she makes up her mind she never changes it, stubborn, confident, can be rude if she just met you.
BACKROUND: UP 4 LOVE....

*Would the timeframe be around eighteenth or nineteenth century? Because that's during the time when America was being settled and such*

NAME: Simon Chambers

GENDER: Male

AGE: 19

RACE: Newcomer - human

APPEARANCE: Tall and athletic, with wavy blond hair and green eyes.

PERSONALITY: Quietly confident, with the belief tha he can do anything required of him. He's generally polite to everyone, and prefers to solve problems with diplomacy than with violence. The song that would represent him is Panama by the Cat Empire.

BACKROUND: The son of a retired English explorer, he always wanted to see the places his father had told him about as a child. Although he couldn't have the thrill of discovering them and mapping them out, he still began to visit them in his mid-teens. He had been on a cruise from England to the Americas in the hopes that he could see what he was led to believe was an untamed west.

EDITED: appearance

*how could I resist this? *

Name: Jasper Rosario

Gender: male

Age: 17

Race: vampire

Appearance: thick, ashen hair that spikes slightly on the top and the sides making him look slightly bedraggled; bright red eyes that are dark near the pupil and fade into a brighter red near the edges of the iris; fairly tall; pale skin; one small gold loop earing in his left ear that has a blue strip pained swirling around it and a gold braclet that just looks like a bigger version of the earing on the right hand

Choose one: New Arrival

Personality: playful, mischevious, sarcastic, stubborn, opptomistic (most of the time), and has a tendency to be a little theatrical sometimes

Background: born in Alaska, but moved to Rome at the age of 9. he had gotten into a fight with his older brothers and somehow woke up in Helio (this isn't unusal in his family ); is able to use magic, but isn't very good at it since he only started learning a few weeks before he landed in Helio; and of course, up for love ^^

*I am sooooo glad you created this! I was wondering when someone would put up a new storybook!*

Name: Tahlia Lashbrook

Gender: female

Age: 18

Race: Fairie

Appearance: http://www.deviantart.com/print/3437175/ but with longer hair down to he shoulders and purply blue eyes. Gorgeous.

Choose one: Heliopian

Personality: bubbly, sweet, loves young children. She does rebel though, when something doesn't feel right and can have an awful temper if you do something to make her mad. Few people hate her, though. All-around loveable. A song to represent her when happy would be Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield (I know, a little corny) but when angry that changes to Riot by Three Days Grace.

Background: she and her mother were banished from an all fairie island when she was three and they came here. She doesn't remember almost any of it and doesn't even care about that. She's definitely up for love.

I'm totally in on this one! Good idea LilyReagan!!!!

Name: Andrea Stalwart
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Race: elf
Choose one: (Heliopian) or (New Arrival) : Heliopian
Appearance: Bright red frizzy hair, violet eyes, extremely tiny frame, short, very petite, pointy ears, pale skin.
Personality (you may list some of their favorite things, a song that represents them, etc.): Shy, however, if someone gets in her way she's not afraid to confront them. Careful, has trouble making decisions, generally stays by herself.
Background (where from, magic-user, up for love, etc): Andrea grew up in Helio. Her parents were murdered by the drachea masillis when they tried to protect some humans. As a result, Andrea has much contempt for the human race, refusing to accept them. She stays by herself on the western part of the island, isolated from the other elves. However, there is always the possibility of a human changing her mind, they just have to be persistent. Andrea's magic is levitation, she can move objects with her mind easily. She also trained in martial arts and is good at defending herself. She rarely interacts with other beings but if she meets someone, she will find herself up for love. (A part of her wants to become part of a community but a part of her doesn't) She's torn between both.

When can we start?

Hey guys! I'm psyched you all like the idea so much!

We need some more new arrivals, so if you want another character...well...it'd be nice of you to make he/she a newbie.

We should probably start tomorrow, so post any new characters before then. Or at least before I post.

PM or IM with any further Qs.

Dud dud a duh! New arrival at your service!

Name: Coraline Silver

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Race: Human

Choose one: (New Arrival)

Appearance: http://www.fashionista.com/images/entri ... 20girl.JPG

Personality: She is quiet but can get a temper. She doesn't get along well with others because she is afraid of letting people in though she will never admit it. She is a desperate romantic but hides it with dry humor and a cynical outlook on life. Song that best describes her is My World by Sick Puppies..or something like that...

Background: Coraline lived in Australia with her parents and brother, Caleb, but her dad got a new job in England a year ago and she has been living there. The cruise that they were on that crash landed in Helio was not her idea of a good time. She didn't want to go and made sure her parents knew that.

Gabriel Windon (Cousin to the Queen, and her best friend)

Tessa Laurel (werewolf)

Aidan Chambers (werewolf)

Dominic Conton (vampire)

Julian Vinsing (Elf)

Hayden (fairy)

Harmony Dobbs (new arrival. no one knows anything about her.)

~Delia~


I watched warily as the ship touched the dock. The cool breeze blew my hair as I observed the passengers depart from their cabins and position themselves along the deck.

"Welcome to Helio!" Counselman Hoffchik shouted in his booming voice. The other Heliopians shivered. Could they sense it, too? That sinister feeling about the ship. Especially because it was called, The Demon.

Queen Heliotrope stood behind Counselman Hoffchik, and motioned for him to step aside. Her regal bearing made her quite intimidating.

"New arrivals to Helio, I am Queen Heliotrope, daughter to the reknowned King Haramman, and sole heir to his throne," she said. "Please come down, so that I may speak to you more clearly. We shall not harm you."

One by one, the new arrivals came down.

Lavain

I came up behind Delia. My eyelids glittering with bright pink from all the fairy dust I threw on this morning, as I watched the new arrivals come one by one.

"Hey Delia." I whispered so I didn't scare her. "Do you really think she isn't going to hurt them?"

"Oh Lavain don't be silly, of course she won't hurt them." She smiled.
