is this group still active? looks awesome :)

At the moment, I’m afraid not. I haven’t heard from Admin Vee in a while, and I’ve been incredibly busy and unable to find the energy to do much but sleep lately. We may come back online later in the summer, but I’m afraid for now, we’re on an indefinite hiatus. So sorry!!!

[thecourt-rpg]

Just a quick update -- still in the hospital, but I should be released soon. Sorry for my absence!

After an incredibly busy weekend running a theater production, I’ve landed myself in the hospital with a 104 degree fever. I’ll be back online soon as I’m feeling better. Love you all!

ALEXANDER EATON is a TWENTY-ONE year old MALE HUMAN that uses HE/HIM. They are known for being ENERGETIC, EMPATHETIC, AND HUMOUROUS. Unfortunately, they are also known for being SECRETIVE, ANXIOUS AND CONSTANTLY FORGETTING TO TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF.

Their face claim is DYLAN O’BRIEN, and they currently live in FATESWALLOW/BUSINESS DISTRICT as an LIBRARIAN AT THE BIBLIOTHECA FABULA. 

Trigger warning for depression, attempted suicide, money problems, medication, and anxiety.

IN THE BEGINNING

Everyone who knew Alex knew his mother, Harriet, the town mayor. Ever since he was little he was the typical rich kid, but he never wanted to be rich. It put him on a pedestal that separated himself from his peers and that’s all he ever wished for – to be a normal kid with normal friends. It made it worse that growing up, Alex spent most of his childhood switching between his mum and his dad’s house, never feeling settled or particularly accepted anywhere. He did feel far more comfortable at his fathers’ however, who was the local town Sheriff as his house was smaller and less…flashy than his mother’s large estate home, and helped prompt that well needed feeling of normality.

When he turned thirteen Alex attended an all boy’s private boarding school in London because his mother requested that he did so (“I am proud of your potential and so should you be”), but it soon became clear that he wasn’t considered very…bright. Well, that’s what his school reports said. Difficulty in spelling seemingly basic words, reading, following rudimentary instructions and managing time appropriately was only a few of the many issues Alex had to face on a daily basis. That and his inability to sit still in class, let alone focus for more than two seconds on work he was supposed to be doing. It got to the point where Alex’s place in this prestigious college was being jeopardised, so his mother told him to go to one of her very own private doctors in London where they diagnosed him with moderate to severe dyslexia and ADHD.

As soon as he was diagnosed, Alex and his mother sat down together (on Skype) and discussed ways around this. She told him that it didn’t matter that he had this learning disability, just as long as he could manage it. Every day he and the private tutor she hired at the college would set an hour or so aside to practise reading and soon he found that while it took him a long time, he was just able to unscramble the words on the page if had the patience. Sometimes his dorm mates would read out his mail, or help him decipher chapters off a book when he was too tired. He had the support of his school and Alex was grateful for that. But the day the letter came through saying that his mother had lost the upcoming town election and been replaced by someone else came through the post was the day he knew that that support network would be torn away from him. THE UPHILL STRUGGLE

Alex was required to leave the school at fifteen (a year after the loss) as they were slowly becoming unable to pay the fees needed for him to stay. He returned to his home town in California and was forced to watch his mother spiral into depression post-losing her position. Anyone who knew Harriet knew how much her occupation meant to her, how much sweat blood and tears it took to earn that status, and losing it was just far too much for her to handle. Meanwhile Alex was pushed into the state school system where his disabilities weren’t taken as seriously as they should have been and the result was his grades dipping to the point of being, well, below average.

However, despite the severe pressure Alex was feeling from home and school, he refused to let anybody know exactly how much it was affecting him. He was no longer that potentially snobby son of the Mayor, but the class clown whom his classmates adored. In some ways Alex got exactly what he wanted, not being rich any longer had made him feel far more included into the everyday lives of his peers, but there was still something missing and he wasn’t sure what. When he was sixteen he was diagnosed with a generalised anxiety disorder, keeping even that from the people he would call friends.

Fast forwards a few years and Alex had graduated from High School. His mother had been formally admitted to a Psychiatric Ward after attempting suicide with a diagnosis of manic depression when he was seventeen. Somehow Alex had managed to pass all his tests with admittedly mediocre grades, but enough for him to apply for the University and creative writing course he thought he wanted. In truth Alex just wanted to get out of the town who had always felt so unfamiliar to him. Even his father didn’t want him, or at least was so busy he never got to see his son, even on weekends where he’d go to the pub with his mates and refuse to come back until he thought his son was asleep. Alex figured his father blamed him for his mother’s state in some way, because even though his parents had divorced way before Alex’s memory could stretch they still considered themselves good friends.

So with the pressure of uncertainty combined with his already impulsive nature, Alex backed his bags and ran when he was twenty-one, sending off a quick email to his father saying that he had left and was never coming back (for a while at least).

ARRIVING AT THE COURT

He wasn’t sure exactly how it happened but one moment he was crossing the town line and the next moment he found himself bumping into a girl who turned and hissed at him with sharp fangs.

Alex had entered The Court.

Discovering the secret country was a total accident of course, he wasn’t intentionally trying to seek it out in the first place, but somehow he was here in the midst of werewolves, vampires and fae’s alike. He had no money (he was originally planning on using the cash point on his way out), no connections, nothing, and he wandered aimlessly down unfamiliar streets, afraid yet oddly excited at the prospect of finding somewhere so different so quickly. When nobody offered to help him and darkness began to fall, Alex found himself sitting underneath a tree for shelter, homeless and hungry.

He spent the next few days gathering as much information on this unfamiliar territory as possible. He met many different species, all with their different stories and attitudes. Some rejected him, told him to go find someone who cared, while others was more than happy to lend him a helping hand. A few characters even offered him places to stay for a couple of days while he adjusted. Eventually someone heard his story and mentioned a job opening at Bibliotheca Fabula so Alex could pay for a his own place, which he took up with little hesitation.

After getting hired as one of the many librarians, specialising in the modern section of the building. Sure enough, after working their for a few weeks he managed to find and successfully rent a small flat in Fateswallow which is where he has been residing since.

PERSONALITY/QUIRKS

- Thanks to his ADHD, Alex can seem a little Too Much at times when he comes to, well, pretty much anything. For one thing he had a tendency to speak way too fast (especially after taking his Adderall) to the point where he just doesn’t know when to shut up. What pours from his mouth usually starts off as relevant but almost always ends up trailing off somewhere completely unrelated to the original subject of conversation.

- Alex fidgets – a lot. It’s only really a problem however when he forgets to take his medication, otherwise he can sit relatively still (albeit the continuous foot tapping).

- Unsurprisingly (given his past Class Clown rep) Alex is very approachable and likes meeting potential new friends.

- Leading on from the previous point, Alex makes it a habit to understand people, or more accurately, understand the different species. Not soon after arriving in The Court he purchased a notebook where he’s been keeping messy notes and pictures of every supernatural being who are residents so that he can refer to it whenever he feels the need to understand someone (or whether they might be a threat or not). Alex tends to whip out this notebook on a regular basis in public and it’s certainly had mixed results with those who happen to look upon it. Some react positively, thinking that his urge to understand everyone is either adorable or just seriously smart, while others see it as this as patronising and on several occasions has had his book thrown across rooms and almost destroyed.

- Despite what Alex may say, he is prone to having panic attacks when put under severe stress (due to his un-medicated anxiety disorder) and has regular heart palpitations.

- When there aren’t many people about or you’re one of those lucky individuals who he calls friend, Alex has a softer side to him that tends to go amiss underneath all the hyperactivity. He can be surprisingly caring and gentle when the time calls for it because he’s really quite empathetic.

At Least Three Potential Plots for Your Character

YOU GOTTA FRIEND IN ME // For as long as he can remember Alex has been longing for a friend, someone who he can go to without feeling judged, someone he can go to vent or just hang out. It would be particularly effective if the friend was female, given that he spent the beginning of teenage-hood attending an all-boys boarding school and hadn’t had the opportunity to bond with the opposite sex. Another interesting dynamic would be between him and someone who is hundreds of years old perhaps, regardless of what gender they identify themselves as.

READ TO ME // When Alex was diagnosed with severe dyslexia he created a strong support network within his boarding school. When he was forced to leave however, he’s failed to find a good equivalent to that. What if someone was willing to tutor him? Someone for Alex to go to whenever he’s finding something particularly hard to read, for whatever reason? They don’t have to be close friends, but someone that Alex can trust with assisting him in handling his issues (THIS PLOT CAN BE JOINED WITH THE FIRST ONE).

DOCTOR DOCTOR // Alex has a soft, caring side to him that tends to get buried. Give him an excuse to care for someone. Perhaps someone’s injured and now he has to escort them to the doctors, or maybe it’s something deeper than that: a panic attack, grief, sadness, anger – anything that will prove just how gentle he can be.

HELPING HAND // When Alex entered The Court for the first time, he was helped by a variety of different individuals. What if you were one of the ones who offered him a place to stay when he had nowhere else to go? Or even just someone who gave him directions or food in passing but when he most needed it? It would be interesting to have him interact with some of those individuals again now that he’s got his own job and place to stay – something that wouldn’t have been possible without that help.

DR. CATHERINE NORTH is a THIRTY NINE year old FEMALE IMP that uses SHE/HER. They are known for BEING RESOURCEFUL, WISE AND INTELLIGENT. Unfortunately, they are also known for BEING DECEITFUL, MANIPULATIVE AND STUBBORN .

Their face claim is MEGAN BOONE, and they currently live in WINTER COURT as an ROYAL ADVISER.

Trigger warnings for attempted infanticide and child abandonment.

Catherine North didn’t have the most pleasant of beginning. She was born, unwanted, to a human father and an fae mother. Her father had vanished back to the human world long before her little eyes had even set sights on the world where she was conceived. Her mother, who did not want to have the burden of a child, left her in a snow covered field to perish there. Luckily for Kate, she was found by a wealthy businessman’s wife who was travelling to the Winter Court to be with her husband. She was, at the time, thought to be human and as a result, was brought up as such. However, even when her soul appeared on her ivory body, they still accepted her as their own despite her beginnings coming from a magical sort. As she grew older she began to work on her control over the elements, despite having weak control over the four, she is much more capable with earth than the rest of them, as she works on this element the most. She learned from her father that she was the result of a union between a fae and human and that she was most likely abandoned as a result of this. Due to this discovery, she grew a hatred for most creatures and this was something that was encouraged by her father who also had a dislike for them, despite building a business in the realm and her adoptive mother being an imp herself. After all, how could anyone leave a child to die? Despite this growing hatred for the creatures, as she grew up, she chose to stay in the Realm and studied medicine, becoming a doctor by the age of 25. She soon set up her own practice where she worked for a number of years before she got the idea of finding her parents, whichever one was still in the realm and getting revenge on them for abandoning her as a child. It was then that she really worked at getting into the Winter Court administration. It took a good few years but she achieved the position as a Royal Adviser and intends to use it to find her parents. As far as Catherine’s personality goes, she is quite a likable person. You would never know that she is full of hate for a lot of the world around her. She often goes about her job to the best of her ability but she still plots revenge that she so dearly wants.

At Least Three Potential Plots for Your Character

An eye for an eye: Catherine wants to find any details into who her birth parents were and would team up with however necessary in order to get the information needed. Could be just one person or multiple.

Don’t make me feel: Involves meeting more than one species and perhaps making her thing that they aren’t all like her birth mother and father.

Somebody mixed the medicine: Helped to patch some people up who were injured. Can be any sort of character, maybe hunters too.

Imps

Megan Boone: 01

Accepting 7 April!

[thecourt-rpg]

This RP looks amazing :) I will surely join in. However, I have a hard time in choosing an FC and where they could fit in. I was thinking of Liv Tyler or Natalie Portman.

I’m partial to Liv Tyler myself. She’s gorgeous, and I’ve always wanted to write opposite her in an rpg thread.

[thecourt-rpg]

Can an Imp be a royal advisor or is that solely for the Faes?

An imp can absolutely be a royal advisor! The only species restriction we have is that Queens, Consorts, and Shields are High Fae. However, there is a slight age restriction, as it doesn’t make sense for someone in their twenties to be a Royal Advisor unless there’s quite a bit of nepotism involved, so make sure to have someone old enough for the position. Hope to hear from you soon!

[thecourt-rpg]

Would you guys prefer an Alicia Vikander, Dakota Johnson or Megan Boone character? :) (going to apply for tonight hopefully!

I would love Megan Boone! I’ve never seen her used before in an rpg, and she’s absolutely gorgeous!

The next full moon is coming up soon! Though most werewolves will be at home or suppressing the transformation with potions and wolfs bane, Be wary of going outside on that night, in the case that some of them are on the prowl and violent.

Should you find yourself in danger, find the closest law enforcer or magic-wielder to fend them off until you get home and safe.

The Full Moon occurs 10 April.
