The Barrier was established shortly before the Silent War began, though people were able to pass it back then. Nowadays, only if you have special permissions and papers you’re able to pass the barrier. The Barrier, which stretches as far as the oceans on either sides of the land, is heavily guarded, day and night. Holiday or not. Some areas are lighter than others sure, but trigger an alarm and you’ll be eating lead tonight.

The Silent war is the term coined by no one in particular. No one knows where the name came from, but it does fit, arguably. They don’t know when the Silent War will end. It began when They arrived, though.

Inside the Barrier is a place where humans live, but They also live there. Who is ‘They?’ The ones from the other side. Beings that, upon a human’s birth, connect themselves to the child. That child is gone, all that remains is the being. They aren’t demons, even if they may seem so. Some could even say They have a desire to fit in, but others make points against that. Solid points, given They must feed on humans in order to survive. Or just meat. Any meat.

Humans, and perhaps almost all creatures, cannot see Them. We only know They exist because of the photos. Faintly, in photos, they can be seen, towering behind their host like some sort of puppet master. They act and talk as we do, but never mistake one for a human, for it could be your last mistake.


Romance RP where you have person A, one of Them, living within the barrier. And then you have person B, one of the barrier guards. Person B is human but born with the ability to see Them (aka they don’t just see the human, they see the otherwordly horror as well). B has never told anyone of this ability, since it is a bit terrifying given you can see some pretty horrifying looking creatures.

Person A just wants to fit in and tries to make changes to fit into the human world, even though their chance of being let outside is really low. Person A comes across person B, falls in love, and maybe tries to get their attention. Things…happen.

I would prefer the romance to be straight. My character (if I’m either person A or B, I don’t really care too much) will be male.
The setting of this is a rural setting, but if you go far outside of the barrier you’ll come across a city. Within the barrier there is a town at which humans and They live in.

  1. Please make an attempt to be a mature RPer.
  2. I reserve the right to deny or accept you as needed.
  3. Please try to use proper grammar.
  4. Some forms of violence is probably to be expected. Blood as well. Just remember, there’s a time and place for everything.
  5. Swearing is allowed.
  6. No one liners. They’re very tricky (for me) to respond to.
  7. This list is subject to change, so keep that in mind.
  8. Let me know if you’ll be inactive.
  9. Try to be active in the meantime.

please specify to be whether or not you’d prefer to be person A or Person B
