Between the realm of the mortals and that of the Others, the Kingdom - never called nor named anything else - was built to oversee and protect, and keep the worlds in peace for millenias. It is almost a live creature itself, connected to its ruler and guardian (king or queen) and acting as a bridge which both connects and separates the realms.
But now, its ruler is dying, and the only heir is no where to be found, taken from their home and taken somewhere far beyond their parents' reach. Without the heir, once the Kingdoms ruler and guardian dies, there will be nothing separating the world of the mortals from the web of worlds of all the creatures they consider to be nothing but stories - and there are those on both sides who would enjoy that turn of events.
Desperate, the ruler calls for those who'd dare to enter the mortal realm in search of the heir, knowing he might be sentencing some of them to death or worse and taking a huge risk at the same time - for there is a possibility that, for each creature that passes to the mortal realm, a human by accident gets access to the Kingdom, and hence possibly the worlds beyond.
And this is where you come in.
Just as the other two of my SBs this month, this one too is primarily driven by the characters and their relations and personality. You can create any kind of character - from angels and demigods to various elven sorts or even Disney creatures. These are all refered to as Others, as opposed to the humans in the mortal realm. Your character will have memories and experiences of whatever their story is about (if you choose a specific character - if you go with, say, a mountain troll from some land's folklore, it doesn't necessarily have to have a known story of its own, but would have a personal history nonetheless) but this Storybook will not follow either of their stories directly.
Of course, you can be a human, one who's interacted with one or more of these creatures in the past or one completely oblivious to their existence, of any gender or age, living in the realm of mortals. The ruler(s) of the Kingdom are also playable characters - each ruler is born in the Kingdom and can never leave it, except by handing the crown to his/her heir. The heir is always their first child, and in case of younger siblings, the world will not recognise any of them unless the first heir dies. All of these characters can be of any gender, and it's up to you to think of whether some of them should know each other or not. They can, but don't have to be a part of the expedition sent to find the heir - and naturally, no one says you must have good intentions or even pretend to have them.
I will draw the line at ten people (besides myself) for now, but if the slots happen to be filled and you feel like joining, raise your hand in the DT or send me a PM and we'll squeeze you in
I'll be playing the missing heir (who indeed is in the human world). Feel free to use whatever format of profile you want, this template is just for guidance.
