...there was a beautiful queen who wanted nothing more than to be the fairest in all the land. But her stepdaughter, the impudent wretch, plotted to oust her from her throne with the help of a valiant and charming prince. The queen found herself cast out of her home, her loyal subjects lost, with the little brat taking her place and winning over the whole kingdom.
The couple was wed. A baby was born. A year of peace passed.
But revenge would be hers.
On the night of the princess's first birthday, the queen called upon the help of a dark being to weave a terrible and powerful curse upon the land.
There would be no happily ever after, for anyone... ever again.
Welcome to FRACTURED: Suburban Legends. This RP, if you couldn't tell, is heavily inspired by the popular show Once Upon a Time. The key difference here is that it will not be stupid hot garbage. Prior knowledge of the Once Upon a Time show is not required, as this is going to at best be a deconstruction of the show as it exists. The main elements that remain are:
- Modern day people who are actually living fairy tales, with no memory of their former lives. There is still some Disney influence (for example, going by canon Disney ages of princesses; Snow White was 14, y'all), but it is far less prevalent than in the show.
- The evil queen from Snow White wove a curse, which is what transported all these fairy tale characters to our world. Snow White and her prince had a baby daughter who was lost to them during the events surrounding the curse. She was sent to this world through other means, and was raised in the foster system.
- Yes, Rumpelstiltskin is involved, you bastards.
If you are lucky enough to be invited here, you will have the opportunity to create a character for the town of Oldcastle, ME. This story begins 24 years after the curse has been cast, and there is no timey-wimey nonsense involved; all of the fairy tale characters who were part of the original curse have aged 24 years. This can be circumvented in certain cases if you are playing someone who has a good excuse for coming through another way at another time, or by playing a kid (age 24 or less) instead of the original fairy tale character.

We have plotting and butts.

Before you start creating your character, though, there are some things you should know. Your character may be from any fairy tale, not just Disney movies, but here's a list of solid NOPE:
Pocahontas
Hercules
Mulan
Hunchback of Notre Dame
Brother Bear
Tarzan
Jungle Book
Atlantis
101 Dalmations
Brave
Emperor's New Groove
Pinocchio
Treasure Planet
Lilo & Stitch
Robin Hood
Any of the animal ones
Other shit I haven't thought of
You can play Rapunzel and Snow Queen but not Tangled or Frozen.

You can play Rapunzel and Snow Queen but not Tangled or Frozen.
The reasons for these things being discounted is that either they focus on non-human characters as protagonists, are more folktales/legends than fairy tales (Mulan, Robin Hood), or exist in made-up fantasy settings (Frozen). Some have also been excluded due to not gelling with a key vibe of the setting (Emperor's New Groove), or because they're not based on actual established fairy tales (Brave). I have to make these all mash together well and I'm not doing it with shit that don't belong.
You will be currently restricted to one character apiece, though that will change later on. However, you may NPC as many characters as needed to make your backstory work! Two caveats: You can't play your own villains, and you should check all your NPCs by me first especially if they're not even from your character's original story.
Moving on to the questions:
Can I join your RP?
This is invite only, sorry. You can ask but I'm prolly going to say no.
I've been invited! But I don't know if I can keep up. What are the posting expectations?
DOUCHE.
...Nah, not really, but I am gonna expect you guys to be solidly Intermediate-Prestige level on a regular basis. This is all for fun but I know you can do quality writing or you wouldn't be here. If you're dipping below Intermediate I'm gonna stare at you with hella disappoint dad eyes.
I also expect at least a post a month okay? Can you manage that? Good.
Can I play the Emma (Snow White's daughter)?
Sorry, that role is already taken by @Diana. I roped her into this and now she has to play.
There are a lot of [x gender] characters. I want romance, so I'm going to play a--
Let me stop you right there. Because I'm absolutely insane, I'm going to play multiple characters, and that means uneven genders and a desire for romance are not mutually exclusive. This is because I know that deep down everyone wants to be a Disney princess and I have planned accordingly.
Who are you for sure going to play?
For sure, I am playing the Evil Queen from Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, Prince Florian (that's Snow White's boo, if you didn't know), Prince Eric (from The Little Mermaid), and
I want to play Captain Hook!
No.
You're a buttface.
Yep.
Will there be THE SEX in this RP?
Dude I didn't post it in the Redstar section, no there will not. THAT SAID, this is a fairy tale RP and we all know fairy tales are unsuitable for the children of today (or rather for their parents). There will be mature themes. Please contain your giggling.
Now we're done with the formalities, please fill out the following sheet and post it here.
Name: (What the fuck should we be calling you?)
Former Name: (If they are a fairy tale, what was their name in Fairyland? If they're a kid, just skip this.)
Origin: (What fairy tale are they from? Or are they an original kid?)
Age: (If they are a kid of a fairy tale character, they must be less than 24. If they are a fairy tale character, they generally should be 24 years older than they were when the curse happened. See the Disney Wiki for "official" ages.)
Appearance: (Give me a B R I E F description and/or a picture. Real person or realistic art, pls.)
Brief Bio: (I mean BRIEF, goddammit. We know the gist of their story, so mainly just cover highlights of their life in Oldcastle. You can discuss details with me on the Discord server.)
NPCs: (List all NPCs you intend to play for this character.)
