Okay this is one of my favourite concepts, I literally have two universes on notebook based around it and like half a notebook filled with modern fantasy characters (and its a big notebook), not to mention the sketchbooks :P

I was thinking maybe New York or someother big city with sizeable pockets of nature inside as a setting, and in modern times, maybe two or three years ago, in May.

There are lots of magical species you could choose from, for example:

  • Witch
  • Wizard
  • Warlock
  • Dryad
  • Faerie
  • Werewolf
  • Vampire
  • Dwarf
  • Elf
  • Oracle
  • Dragonborn
  • Centaur

Or whatever you come up with! You could also be mortal, or mortal with with powers, for example a necromancer.

Rules are as follows:

  • No IRL hate
  • no stealing ideas
  • no controlling other characters or harming them in any way
  • one character POV maximum. Obviously you can have your character’s mom or friends or whatever in this, but stick to on POV and make sure the other characters aren’t as major
  • romance is strictly PG
  • violence permitted
  • swearing allowed, but bleep out swear words
  • no Mary Sues
  • please avoid stereotypes. The dark and brooding vampire? Avoid it, be original. The alpha and dominating bad boy werewolf? don't go there.
  • if there are already three people of one species, choose a different one
  • please no one liners
  • no elementals. Your character can have earth-based powers, for example, but none of this 'controlling all of the element' business please
  • try to have your character anywhere between grade 12 at the very youngest to being in their last year of college/university at the very oldest

My character will prolly be a witch, but I gtg rn, so if you want to join say so and I’ll be on later!

I'll probably just keep the minimum at five and see how many people join, cut it off when things start to get chaotic, but not a number bigger than eight
that is, if more people join this oof
