This is just a Roleplaying IDEA. I am posting it to see in case anyone is interested or wants to sign up, because it would be pointless to create a full-fledged roleplay sheet if nobody cares about it.

This is a 12+ Roleplay, for there may be some blood violence.

Mystery's Child: A Sylesti Roleplay

This roleplay takes place in a continent known as Ika (EYE- Ka), a place inhabited by Sylesties. The Sylesties behave sort of like humans would, for example they build houses and buildings, cook their own food, run towns and have jobs, and speak/interact with one-another. There is no such thing as a 'Human' in this RP.

In the dead center of the continent of Ika, there lies a small city known as PiLyme (pronounced 'pie-lime'). Most of the Sylesties in this game live in PiLyme. PiLyme was a peaceful country city filled with happy Sylesties, never any homeless or poor, and many prosperous families who ran successful jobs. For a long time, all was peaceful and beautiful, until one day when a mysterious Sylesti named Mystery came. At first sight, she seemed a meager traveler, but once she revealed who she was, PiLyme had turned into a town of ruin. Mystery was a thief, a killer, and worse of all, she could use magic. Mystery could Shapeshift into three forms, either a Qitari, a Luffox, or a Nytekrie. All three of those forms were completely different and looked nothing alike, except for a single feature that only Mystery had: pure black Tiger markings. For this recognizable feature of hers, she is often found wearing some sort of flashy, beautiful garments to hide her stripes. If anyone is lucky- or unlucky- enough to spot her, she would most likely be in her Nytekrie form, as it gives her powerful talons plus the ability to fly.

Nearly everyone in the town was terrified of Mystery when they saw who she was. In a desperate attempt to keep themselves and their families safe, they moved out of the city hoping to hide from Mystery. However, a group of wise old friends that called themselves the Arcanists, a Puffadore, two Zolnixies, and a Bulbori studied Mystery from afar and concluded that there just might be something in the city that she wants, a relic or treasure of some sort. But whatever that thing could be, one thing is for sure: Mystery won't let anyone enter the town, and worse, she won't let anyone leave.

The Arcanists knew that there was only one way to keep the citizens safe- to rid of Mystery forever. After much hard work, they managed to kill Mystery, saving the town.

However, Mystery wasn't finished just yet. upon her death, she released her powers to three young Sylesti hatchlings out of more than 12000 citizens. These hatchlings were too young to even speak or walk properly, thus they could not tell anyone of their mysterious gifts. (These Hatchlings were referred to as "Mystery's Children" by The Arcanists.) Many years later, those three hatchlings had grown up into fine Adolescents. They had matured, learned the way of their species, and most importantly- they had learned how to harness their gifts from Mystery.

During the year when the hatchlings turned Fifteen, Mystery had returned to the Town. Once again, Sylesties could no longer enter or leave, and there were countless robberies and killings caused by Mystery. As the Hatchlings learned about Mystery and who she was, they also learned about their unique, one of a kind powers that they thought they were 'born' with. As their stories unfold, their fates intertwine, and they learn who they are through adventure and experience, it is all up to them to determine the purpose of their powers.

And most importantly, they must decide whether or not it is a blessing, a simple gift, or a wicked curse.

PLEASE let me know your Opinions on this idea! I would honestly love if it became a really popular roleplay, it would make my day!

bump.

Ifind it interesting, although Sylestia-based rps don't go quite well here (but I'd lhappily join, poor Starnger Things never got more then 20 pages of fun out of my first rp and Juke and Celsti were bought just so i could actually jon a rp....Lotto time!:D)

Aaa, I like this- It would also finally give me a chance to create a Mokko character if you would have me.

I think where this roleplay could shine is definitely the relationship between characters. You also seem to have some World Building going on, so i am excited to see that!

There's also a puzzle to it- Why those hatchlings specifically? What's the reason Mystery is doing this and where do her powers come from- And how did she managed to survive? How will The Arcanist react to someone who wields those dangerous powers too, if they are still around?
A lot of questions and few writers aching for answers sounds wonderful to me.

Although, magic can quickly get out of hand so make sure to come up with some firm rules- It's easy to fall off a cliff if there isn't a fence to stop you, that sort of situation.

I'm very much interested, make sure to ping me for any further development, please. :3

Thanks for the review! Also, yes, i do love world-building and I am planning to add some magic rules such as limits to how much you can have. (This post was just to showcase the idea to see if anyone was interested.

I would answer the questions if I could, but I don't really want to give anything away in case this idea really does become popular.

Also, if this becomes a bit active then you could make a Morkko! (The idea was that only a few species could live in the town, but I can add them to the list!)

Thanks for the review!

I'm interested!

Ok, I might begin an official thread for it if a few others want to join
