I don’t know anything…
What is one song that you would love to lip sync or perfectly sing in front of a giant crowd with backup singers or just a solo? Whether its because you love this song, you want to sing it to someone, or its personal. What would it be?
Mine would be Stay by Rihanna
I spent so long drawing this (like an hour or so)… I like how it turned out, except for the face, so I cropped it out. Sorry for the low quality 😭😭

Welcome to New Adfail. New Adfail is what remains of America and Europe 300 years after the Great War. Everyone here is born with a tattoo on their wrist. At age 13, you get sent to Kohen Institute where you find out what your tattoo means and learn to use the ability that comes with learning about your tattoo. After this process, you are sorted into three categories or ranks: 1-Desirable, 2- Necessary, 3- Undesirable. This determines where you get sent to live, what kind of jobs you will have, your status in society, pretty much your whole life is decided for you from the moment you find out your rank.
You, however, were born without a tattoo. A week before your birthday you receive a letter saying that your presence has been requested at Kohen Institute. You don't know why you've been invited since you have no tattoo, but you've heard rumors and old stories of un-tatooed people being invited there in previous centuries. Well, whatever you've heard doesn't really matter, because you have, for some reason, decided to do as the invitation says, and end up going to Kohen Institute.

background info/context - Please Read
Kohen Institute is located in Gwych City, the capital city of New Adfail. Students are 13 years old at arrival, and they graduate at 17. Being born without a tattoo used to be incredibly rare, but as the years passed it became more common. However, it is still seen as bad luck or simply ‘lesser’ to be born without a tattoo, so the government of New Adfail, aka The Syndicate, does its best to hide it and prevent rumors of un-tattooed being greater in number than believed by the general public. The big idea here is that your OCs are going to cause a rebellion against The Syndicate as they believe the government has become corrupt. Your OC doesn't know this; however you need to know this as those invited to Kohen were chosen for a reason, whether it be brains, brawn, or some other notable trait(s).

~notes~
♠️ so this is basically like a cross between the Unwanteds and... i don't know another book that fits. but you get the idea.
🌑 yes, people can be born with the same tattoo. It's not a genetic thing, but it does happen in some families. it's not super common to know someone with the same tattoo as you until you go to Kohen, but it's not unheard of either.
🎱 abilities can range from being able to manipulate a certain element to being skilled in a type of combat. anything really works, just don't make your character/ability OP.
♣️ your tattoo doesn't have to make the ability you'll have completely obvious, for example, a hammer for the ability to fix things. some tattoos are very vague, so have fun with it. just don't make it super confusing or contradictory.
♠️no tattoo=no ability. only those with tattoos have abilities.
🌑un-tattooed can get fake tattoos to pretend they have one, but only the very wealthy can afford it (or ehm underground markets).
🎱tattoos can be any color, size, location, etc. but the most common tattoos are usually black and white, located somewhere on the forearm or shoulder. size generally varies from being the size of a key lime to taking up an entire limb (eg. arm, back).
♣️feel free to play around with character vs fate dynamics! if your oc is tattooed maybe they don't even like their ability or they're afraid of it. maybe they're the first in a long line to have an ability that is completely opposite the family line.

rules:
🫀no Mary Sues/Gary Stus/whatever. give your character some depth. please.
🎸no cookie cutter OCs. for this i will consider OCs used in 3+ roleplays as cookie cutters. if you have an oc that you feel fits this concept really well but is a cookie cutter then just lmk and i’ll look over it to see if it can be used.
⚡please use proper grammar and spelling. i don’t care if you have terrible grammar outside of rp, but please use proper grammar in-roleplay.
🗞️password is to place one of the emojis from this post anywhere on your form.
🪐use third person past tense please
🗝️i know there's usually a lot more females than males/other gender OCs, so please try and keep that in mind.
🥀don't let drama or shipping take over the plot. it's okay for arguments and whatnot to happen but don't let it take over everything else.
📰basic rp rules.
⚓don’t move the plot forward without me or try to cause any major plot points without my consent. also please don’t autohit. nobody’s perfect, no matter how skilled or cool they are.
saves last until the roleplay starts, but i’d prefer if you could get your forms in before then.

I just came out as gay to my family! They took it really well, but I'm kind of in shock because I didn't plan it at all.
AND I DID IT ON NEVERSEEN!!
I'm quite proud of myself for it.
I used 4 characters-Sophie, Keefe, Dex, and Biana-and gave them three character traits-DONT WORRY, they were good ones!!
I used pastel colors on the slides.
I ALSO MADE SURE I KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE Alluveterre bc we're presenting this to the class.
And I put my fave. quote in there bc it was required-*SPOILERS*
"You have deprived me of the Snuggles-that cannot be forgiven!!"
I seriously had to think on my fave. quote for a minute, then I saw this, and I'm just like YYYYYAAAAASSSSSS!!!
But yeah I had fun while making it!!!
Tw: Death is mentioned but not in an overly grotesque way.
Prologue
It had been decades since the Flaméan Rule. Most all remnants of that dark and insidious era had been removed… except for one.
Queen Evenaryia Celeste Virole Granaé I frowned out her balcony window. The glenorian blooms glistened crimson within the magnificent landscape of Dueravia, but it was not the breathtaking blossoms that caught Evena’s eyes as she gazed out over the balcony’s windows from where she stood. It was past the flowerettes, down by the Trealon Lake, where a young girl, age 10, stood by her governess, Lady Chantilly.
The young girl was Princess Seleste Voiran Quasér, Evena’s adopted daughter, and the biological daughter of the dead Flaméan Queen, a woman who had burnt historic structures, artifacts, and legacies, all for the pleasure of her own enjoyment. And for every item she’d burnt, she’d left a mark in the ashes of it. A crest of flames, the official Flaméan sigil.
Abandoned at age 3, Seleste was… different, and though she was nothing like her ancestors, there was no denying that the child was odd. Evena turned away from the window and sighed. She could only hope that the Flamé Prophecy would never come true. Or the monarchy she’d fought so hard to liberate would be consumed, and the monarchy she’d fought even harder to defeat would rise again, and Dueravia would crumble.
Seleste stared out across the night, over the towering balcony in front of her. Frowning ever so slightly, she turned back, before flopping inelegantly onto her bed. She didn’t get why her mother, Queen Evena, disliked her so much. She had never broken pots, tables, books or rules. She had never so much as raised her voice, yet the Queen never seemed to cease to dislike her.
In the distance, Seleste heard the sound of crisply accented voices muttering over the wind. “How do we get in?"a woman’s voice asked. "I don’t know, Rosannia, that was your job to figure out," a man’s voice replied. Seleste frowned in confusion, then dismissed her worries, assuring herself that it was probably just the gardeners’ squabbling.
She forced a smile and turned over on the bed, about to go to sleep, when a loud thud echoed across the castle, along with shouts and screams coming from the direction of the Queen’s Wing. The door to Seleste’s room burst open, and Lady Chantilly shouted to her, “Get down, child!"
She didn’t comply, instead racing out of her bedroom towards her mother’s quarters. Shouts stemmed from her mother’s office, and Seleste ran towards it. Three men and a woman, all in black jumpsuits, stood by the doorway, backs to Seleste, weapons up and pointed towards the Queen. Just as she ran in, the woman rammed her jagged dagger straight into Queen Evena’s heart, and just as the Queen collapsed, immobile, Seleste’s mother’s assassins left, vanishing out the door.
Seleste cried out in horror, falling to her knees as sobs racked her, pouring out in great waterfalls until all that was left was an empty, hollow, sadness. She could hear the sounds of her mother’s attackers scouring the castle, looking for something. As she lifted her head, she heard a raspy coughing sound. "I love you, Seleste. I have always loved you. Do not let fear take control of your heart. Don’t fall astray. Be happy without me. Don’t stop loving our country. I love you,"the Queen wheezed. "And take those invaders down. Goodbye Seleste. Goodbye forever." The words were strong and sure, but whatever strength she had mustered vanished instantly, as with that, Queen Evena fell still, silenced forever, absolutely dead. “No!" Seleste cried into the empty silence. “No! They can’t take you! They can’t take you…" Footsteps echoed across the room as Lady Chantilly entered. She gasped loudly, running to Seleste. "Child. If your mother is dead, the Rebels must have come. We must leave this place now. Otherwise we will share your mother’s fate."
Seleste sobbed louder, allowing Lady Chantilly to carry her from the palace and to a waiting carriage. She didn’t stop to think about why the carriage was there. But as she wiped tears away, she stared back at the castle. "They’ll be sorry. They’ll be sorry because I am a burning comet, and I will turn their world to ash.”

🎲 Intro 🎲
You and your companions have been chosen by members of a hidden rebellion, to carry out a task that will need your strengths. If you succeed, you could be saving the world. If you fail... You will doom your realm to eternal darnation.
Your mission, from the elite hidden resistance, is to deliver Shar (amulet of perfect night) across the lands of Shadowfell, to our brother kingdom to the North (Tyr Ebart). You will encounter many who try to seek the amulet, you must never let them know you have it. And most importantly... Don't put it on... Be safe, be strong, be careful.
Your mission will be scary, dark, and full of hidden encounters. You can't even trust the very ground beneath your feet.
🎲 Background 🎲
1,000 years ago there was a war between a unknown being from the North. Before there were rumors of another continent up North that's been crumbling since the time of ruin (a series of earthquake through the earth) that drew the monster from their land and into Vendosh- your land- but the monsters were made of shadow and corrupted everything in its wake. Forever renaming the land into Shadowfell. For years every race was battling the "Shadow Monsters" with everything they had. Eventually after 100 years of peril and death, they prevailed. Nobody knows how they quite were able to destroy the Shadow Monsters, but the theory is that there was a hidden sword, forged in the temple of light. That was able to disable the monsters with one flick...
After 1,000 years, a new threat corrupts the lands.
Abbadon. (destruction and destroyer) is the tyrant king of Shadowfell. He will be sending everything he can to take the amulet of Shar. 1,000 years after the the great shadow war, the people of Shadowfell (renamed after the war to symbolize the end of shadow) a new "shadow" has arisen, a kind who has slayed many a enemy to claim his title as ruler of Shadowfell. For years he has used fear to control others. He claims to have all the forgotten items that were left from the enemies from the North (Shadow Monsters). But others claim he is lying, for if he were to have the complete collection of Shadowfells forgotten heirlooms and be able to summon armies of strength that's unparallel, he will be able to wipe out anyone he pleases, and dominate the world...

Questions about RP or anything D&D related here:
So, I have a crush on one of my friends, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't like me back. She does have a crush, but she won't tell me who it is, and I'm almost certain it's not me. She also doesn't know about my crush on her.
Usually it's fine, and I don't let it affect our friendship at all, but I get jealous sometimes because she's really affectionate towards all of our friends.
What can I do? I don't want to tell her about my crush, but I don't know how to deal with crushes because this is the basically first crush I've had that I actually cared about and that I actually think is a real crush. I've only ever had one other crush that I think was real, and I spent the entire duration of that crush freaking out, so I didn't have time to really think about doing something about it.
Basically, describe your friends or people you know. It could be how they act, what they do, etc.
@Introvert Bookworm 2.0 Someone who always ruins my plans- (i'Ll gEt yOu nExT tImE!)
@Bookcat1 Always asks questions I don't want to answer, or asks questions she should know the answer of. Like- stop.
At the end of Nightfall, Sophie's parents lost their memories permanently, but Amy keeps her memories. After that, we see her a couple more times, but I think she should come back to be a bigger part of the story.
Amy would be an interesting contrast to Sophie and all of her friends because she's a human. I know that Sophie is supposed to have a different perspective from living with humans for most of her life, but she actually adapted pretty quickly to the Lost Cities, and while she does have much more compassion for humans, she does, for the most part, act like an elf. Because Amy is actually a human, she likely wouldn't do this.
The elves tend to disregard humans, but Amy could show them that most humans aren't bad. She could also be the first step towards making the elves consider humans an intelligent species again.
In addition, I think Amy should return because she was a really interesting character. It was nice to see another side of her relationship with Sophie, and I really liked seeing how she handled her parents' situation. It was nice to have a character who wasn't just another elf. I would really like to see more of Amy.
Of course, one important question remains: how? What's a realistic and interesting way that Shannon could bring back Amy? I'm not sure what the best way would be, but I have a few ideas.
1. The Main Characters Go To The Forbidden Cities
The first idea I had was that Sophie and her friends go to the forbidden cities. It also fits with another idea I had. I believe that the main characters have no way to beat Gisela on their own. It just isn't plausible given how many battles they've lost. So, what if they didn't win, at least at first? Gisela is too strong, and the main characters have no choice but to flee to the forbidden cities to keep Gisela from getting to Keefe. Here, they could seek out Amy, who could help them, and even convince them to involve some other humans in the conflict. I think this would make for a very interesting book 10.
2. Amy Reaches Out To Sophie For Help
One other way Amy could return is if she reached out to Sophie for help. She has an imparter, so she could easily contact Sophie. The Neverseen have attacked the forbidden cities before, so it's not too implausible to think they would do it again. If Gisela's plan is to take over the entire world, it makes sense that the forbidden cities would be in danger. In addition, Amy would probably be able to recognize when something is from the Lost Cities. This means that if something bad happened and only Amy knew that it was caused by someone from the Lost Cities, she would probably contact Sophie for help, which would allow Amy to return in a plausible way.
3. Amy Discovers Something From The Lost Cities
This idea is similar to the previous one, but in this case there's no danger. We know that Keefe will discover important secrets in Unraveled, which tells us that there are probably things relating to elven secrets hidden in the forbidden cities. What if Amy were to discover something related to an elven secret? She then reaches out to Sophie to ask about it. In this scenario, less characters would be involved because it wouldn't make sense for the council to know about it. I'm not sure where they would go from there, but it would bring Amy back into the story, and it would be very interesting.
In conclusion, Amy is an interesting character who I hope we'll get to see more of. There are a couple of ways she could return, but those are just my ideas. Feel free to comment with any ideas or other opinions you have on the matter. Thanks for reading!
