Time: The present
Introduction:
The world we know is divided into three overlapping dimensions, the Normal world where humans live, the Magical world of the Magicals and the Inbetween world which separates the normal from magical. Of course, those humans who know of the existence of magic think the Inbetween world as the Magical one, except for the Guardians.
It has happened before that a human may unknowingly stray into the Inbetween world through a portal where the dimensions are thin and then undergo magical changes. These changes might be subtle or they might be great and fully transform the human, but in either case that human is then known as a Stumbler. Part of the Guardians' job is to help these Stumblers find their place in the Inbetween world since they could never return to a normal life - but that's just the easy part.
There are enemies of the magical creatures and beings: the Hunters and the Red Mercenaries. They seek to exploit the magicals for their own greedy gain and mean only harm to them. Both groups consist mainly of humans, each with their own goals and are sworn enemies to the Guardians.
Thankfully, the Guardians, once chosen through a dream guide and led to the secret hideout are bestowed with a Companion to aid them in their eternal quest. Also with this newfound friend they receive a unique gift and protection from the magical effects of the Inbetween and Magical world.
Guardians are chosen at a young age, usually from 13 years old, when the mind is still fresh and the child still has the ability to believe in magic. It is a heavy burden for someone so young, which is why it is important for them to better their skills and forge a strong friendship with their companion so they can fight together and be stronger...
Character types:
Guardian: Ages start at 12/13 and upwards (yes, you can be as old as you like. Guardians live a long life if they're not killed - about 250 years). They start their journey via a dream (mostly) in which a guide will appear and lead them to a secret hideout (in the Inbetween world) where they are introduced to the life of a Guardian and then they have the option to accept or decline. If they don't, they'll just wake up and forget it ever happened. If they do accept they are given a companion and can return to the hideout for lessons after school (or weekends.if applicable). Sometimes there will be missions and they must always be weary of traps or ambushes by the enemies who wish to discover the location of the hideout. Guardians also live two lives, as they are still able to go back to the normal world.
(You may play as your Guardian and your companion, or share the roles between you and a friend - one as a Guardian, one as a companion if you like).
Stumbler: A normal human who accidentally enters the Inbetween world and is magically transformed. As said before, it could be a minor or major transformation, sometimes they merely get the gift of magic (if they're lucky). Other times they may be transformed into a magical creature or being, or a mix of them, etc. This change is permanent and cannot be reversed. They can also become Guardians if they gain enough trust.
Human: Well... yeah. Normal everyday human being. Yay. They don't know about magic except for the fairytales they were told as a kid. These fairytales coincidentally happened due to earlier sightings of magical creatures in parts where the dimension walls between the normal world and the Inbetween world were thin.
Hunter: Humans mostly, though they do sometimes hire "muscle" from the magicals who live in the Inbetween world. They're no more than poachers who prey on magical creatures and sell their wares to the black market (in both worlds). They had been in business with the Red Mercenaries before and got some tech to protect them from the magical effects when they enter the Inbetween world, but that business relationship was severed years ago.
Mercenary: Humans only. Kind of like a military operation but they have no affiliates with the government at all and is completely private and off radar. They wish to gain information and "research" from the magicals to better their own technology and they'll go at it no matter what with no regard or mercy for the magical beings and creatures. This of course means capturing magicals and doing tests on them like lab rats. They wish to conquer and destroy the magical (Inbetween) world.
Plot line:
There is a definite plot but if you think of anything you're welcome to suggest it. The big plot will be revealed later on as I'd like to give everyone to get comfortable with the roleplay and world(s).
For now the Guardians must protect the magicals and guide the stumblers, learn and improve their skills (either by practicing at the secret hideout or going for lessons at the little "school" nearby). They must also avoid capture and/or death and protect their companions.
Any questions or uncertainty, feel free to ask!
Action, drama, violence, romance is allowed but please don't overdo it. Also please don't make the characters speak in Swear... (e.g "you ****ing *****, I'll **** your ******** and ***** blah blah blah.) We are better than that, right?
You may have one of each character, or more, just be sure that you can handle them all.
