There's a link back to the SB.
Alright, here's the DT, let me know if you have any questions. Also, if you suddenly need to leave and won't be able to post, you can have your character die, or if you plan on coming back later, we could just run your character for you while you're gone.

Alright, I would like a few more people, I was hoping to have at least some younger siblings. Hopefully we'll get some though, and then we'll be able to start.

Posting for updates.
Also, twist idea: one of the good guys is related/is romantically involved with one of the Nights.

Question: I assumed this is taking place in the medieval era, but I just realized that that isn't specified... when is this taking place?

Okay, after a brief discussion with Krose, I've decided to change Rodr's family to someone else's. Is that okay with you guys, and does anyone want him as a brother?

Just to get updates! :)

Oh! Um, Rodr could be Celeste's younger bro if you want. :)

Yeah, I was waiting for people before giving out more plot. That would be really intereting, Italy, but for them to meet that Night would have to be slightly less "bad" than the others. Otherwise I think any of the Shadows would just kill him/her immediately. :)
Okay, first of all, this is medievel era, it's a dirty, overlycrowded, poor city. There's no fancy technology or anything. There is some Magic, but only for the King and the Nights. Since the original Shadows (the parents) were extremely skilled they knew some spells. Therefore, the older Shadow Children might know a few, but they don't have a large knowledge of magic.
I was thinking we would start out just with the characters, figuring out the relationships and their personalities. So for a while the plot will just be going through their life. This includes "missions" where they go out to try and help other citizens. They do this by carrying out jobs, bringing food where they can, just helping with odd jobs. We'll come up with these minor characters as we go, they're just normal people.
Then the Night's come in. They find out about the Shadow Children and set out to try and stop them, but this time they've had orders not to kill them. Since they're just kids, the King is convinced that they must be working for somebody. So he wants a live person to be able to answer questions.
From there we'll just see where the story goes, it will be a fight between the Nights and the Shadows, presumably ending with the overthrowing of the King, or perhaps a change in the Nights (due to the romance).

This is just a basic outline though, it can change, I'm sure it will change, and anyone can add interesting twists as you write, as long as it fits in, of course.

Alright, so Celeste has a brother, hopefully soon the Keipie and Martina will get their profiles up, and I'll get my second one, and then we should be able to start. Oh, and Italy needs to post the Night's profiles once we figure everything out.

Well Martina said she would post today or tomorrow, I´ll post later today, and I'll try to get a hold of Keipie to tell her to post. If Martina and Keipie get their profiles up today then we'll start, if not Thursday.
