Welcome to St. Pauda- where nothing ever happens.
St Pauda is a small, sleepy coastal town, settled somewhere between Penzance and Marazion Cornwall. With a small population of around 500 people, St Pauda is a town where everyone knows anyone and in the summer, many visit from around the UK and the world to enjoy a day at the beach or wander the trails in the forest north of the town. Many people work as fisherman, farmers or in the tourist industry- though some residents are temporary, which richer folks from elsewhere buying second homes here. Thus the affluence of the area varies from beautiful, cliff top homes to old mining homes, squished together on cobblestone streets. The settlement is entirely muggle-with a few exceptions.
One stormy night, a local man goes missing.
At first, it doesn’t cause concern though there are tensions that stirr in the sleepy seaside town. A decade prior, a spate of murders and missing cases that could never be solved, rocked the United Kingdom. St Pauda had always been untouched, spared the horrors of a local or a tourist going missing but still, when a local 18 year old went missing, the locals can not help but feel uneasy. His mother, pleads with the local police force to help her find her son, that he wouldn’t just disappear but she is brushed off, told to go home. His friends take to searching for him themselves- but what they find is not their friend.
They find a woman in the forest- she has no name, no memory of who she is or where she might have come from, the only form of identification is the roman numerals burned into the shoulder. XI. Eleven. She is nervous, shy and seemingly has magical gifts that the friends can’t explain and she has no memory of having.
But while Eleven’s arrival to sleepy St Pauda might be the key to finding their friend, her arrival also draws a dark force into town. One that could risk the lives of everyone who lives there.
This plot is somewhat based on ‘Stranger Things’. While it will kind of loosely follow the plot of at least the first season possibly two and three also, you do not have to see the show to partake in this plot, however there will be some spoilers naturally. It is, also, a plot that will heavily rely on muggle involvement! I know people would love to create a muggle, but usually would have nothing to do, so hopefully this plot will give people incentive to create wonderful non-magical people!! This plot will also be affected by the ongoing events on site.
Magic takes the place of Eleven’s telekinesis in the show and rather than being an experiment, she is part of a group of 11 half blood witches and wizards who were raised solely by an extremist wizard who was training them to be weapons. She escaped, and ended up in St Pauda. Her ‘father’ is now looking for her, with the help of the other remaining half bloods under his ward, and in their search- one of them stumbled across the ‘Will’ of the group and he was captured. I am thinking he is perhaps somehow related to Eleven’s ‘father’- maybe he was born a muggle and maybe he’s been looking for him for all this time and is CONVINCED he is just magical but ‘Joyce’ hid it.

Notes
* - These characters have the potential to be temporary residents of St. Pauda or even live elsewhere entirely
**- I have decided that the 10 other children should be available for play should people want to have a character that is not based on any in the show. While they are key, they can easily be NPC’d for some time before coming into play. Eleven is the youngest and One is the eldest so please age your character accordingly to their number. There is also opportunity for some of the other children to have also escaped. If you leave or drop the character, however, it may be best for plot purposes for them to be killed off.
