Both Needed Twisted&Broken (Insane Asylum/Fairytales)

[Malice]

⛤[[Welcome]]⛤​

This is mostly just to gauge interest before I throw myself into making a fully fleshed out plot. Though, of course, I'm willing to take ideas from other players too.

Genre: Dark Fantasy, Twisted Fairytales
Numbers: Small group, 3-5 players
Plot/Smut: Primarily plot based, smut to be discussed between players

Plot
The basic premise is an insane asylum for fairytale characters whose stories have gone wrong. Perhaps the prince ran off with the Evil Queen, leaving the princess mad in her grief; perhaps they are the villain, and this is their sentence. Could be anything, but something had happened to break this characters and they have wound up in an insane asylum for the rest of their lives.

I'd be looking for both patients and doctors/staff. I myself will probably double. I'd like to look at the interactions between these characters. I see the staff as characters who do not believe themselves to be evil, but are morally dubious. Think 'I am only hurting you for your own good' rather than outright evil. But there will probably be some cruel outliers.

Anyway, as I said, no solid plot as of yet, more a setting that I want to see whether there is interest in first. Only looking for a small group, as I'm not a huge fan of bigger group roleplays. Feel free to post your interest and any ideas/thoughts you may have or want to contribute!

I look forward to hearing from you all!

I'm totally down, and I think I'd like to play The Pied Piper.(:

 

[Malice]

Awesome! Glad to have you on board! Would you be playing a patient or a member on staff, out of interest?

 

[Malice]

So, not sure if it will help or not, but here is one of the characters I created for the roleplay. I may or may not use him, but here he is for inspiration!

------------------------------------------​

-{Character} -
Prince Jennariello

- {Alias} -
"The Loving Traitorous Brother"

- {Role} -
Asylum Patient

- {Age} -
(Looks about) Twenty-four

- {Personality} -
Jenn is loyal to a fault; he would lay down his life for those he cares about. It is this devotion that found him incarcerated. The cruel twist that found his brother distrusting him has sent Jenn more than a little crazed, and he has become suspicious of the motives of all. If Jenn cannot even have faith in his beloved brother, how can he have faith in any one at all? Jenn's love of adventure has, however, remained steadfast and unwavering; he can often be found, having snuck away from his cell, exploring the halls of the asylum, finding his way to even the most hidden and secretive rooms, forgotten even by the longest residents. Jenn desperately seeks to find a way to speak with Milluccio, whether it be through escape or letter sent, so that he can prove his innocence to his supposed crimes.

- {Appearance} -
Jenn bears a striking resemblance to his brother, King Milluccio, and is the epitome of the handsome prince; he is tall and lithe of limb, with hair as black as night and eyes as blue as the ocean, with sharp Italian features and olive toned skin. Or, rather, he was. His time in the asylum has made him haggard; his once noble appearance now dishevelled, and it would be easy to confuse him for peasant than a prince. His dark hair has grown long, and his cheeks are shadowed with stubble, eyes hollow and a smile that never quite reaches them. Where he once stood straight and proud, he now stoops, preferring to keep himself to the shadows than the spotlight.

- {Twist} -
Jenn, once accused of trying to murder the King and his bride, decided that, rather than die a traitor, he would die an innocent man and reveal the cause of his actions, knowing he would turn to marble. However, due to pleading from Liviella for Milluccio to act with brotherly love, the decision was made to stay Jenn's execution and instead throw him to the asylum, for surely, he had gone mad. Milluccio was too wounded by what he still perceived as disloyalty from his brother to visit him; as such, Jenn has never had the chance to explain his deeds, even at the risk of sacrificing himself.​

 

[Ruin]

-{Character} -
Dr. Gatto Stilvavo
​

- {Alias} -​

"The Puss in Boots"
​

- {Role} -​

Asylum Doctor - Psychiatric Specialty​

​

- {Age} -​

32

​

- {Personality} -
​

Dr. Stilvato is daring, adventurous, and adamant about helping his patients. He also quite prideful, and has been known to almost visibly wilt when someone knocks him down a peg or two. Unfortunately, Dr. Stilvavo knows very little about actually being a doctor, thanks to the 16 hour M.D. course he took online. Quite fortunately for him though, the Asylum doesn't do much in the way of background checks for their staff! Despite his handicaps in medical and psychiatric knowledge, Dr. Stilvavo still attempts to help his patients as best as he possibly can.

- {Appearance} -

Dr. Stilvavo has short brown hair that immaculately taken care of. In fact, he can be seen licking his fingertips before carefully adjusting his hair quite frequently. His eyes are emerald green, and he has strong jaw. His face and body practically belongs to an underwear model, and word on the street is that he doesn't stuff his undies. That's 100% Gatto Stilvavo--no socks necessary.

Dr. Stilvavo also has an alternate form that must come out to play during the full moon, though he is capable of assuming it at any time. Dr. Stilvavo is a were-tiger. His tiger form has the same size, shape, color, pattern, and form of a typical Bengal tiger. His eyes remain the same emerald green color in this form.

- {Twist} -

His medical degree is a sham! Dr. Stilvavo knows as much about treating psychiatric patients as any other ol' Joe on the street, but that doesn't stop him from trying in his own strange way. Oh, and he's a were-tiger. There is that.​

If no one objects, I am hoping to bring another two characters to the fray myself. However, I will let others show interest before I go ahead and just steal all the fairytale characters, haha.

 

[MissPerception]

-{Character} -
Piper Legrand
- {Alias} -
"The Pied Piper"

- {Role} -
Asylum Patient(?)

- {Age} -
Appears to be 25
- {Personality} -
Whimsical and mischievous, Piper is almost always playful in her conversations, though her gaze speaks of a sharp yet broken mind. She's even been known to claim she is a doctor, pleading to be released...some have nearly been convinced. She thrills in the hunt of any kind, and prefers to make a game out of life. Enjoys conversation, drawing people in, and singing (though, she isn't allowed to). Her motivations aren't always clear, but she understands what kindness is, just doesn't always choose to employ it. Underlying her very being is a deep sense of running head first into a deep tunnel, dying to know what is at the end. She is persuasive and cunning, though not always to her advantage.

- {Appearance} -
Piper stands at a less than impressive five foot three inches tall, though the way she carries herself can dominate a space enough to suffocate. Long, dark curls used to curve around her face invitingly, ending just below her shoulders...her hair is now shaved close to her skull. The starkness of it almost suits her, and when she smiles, one's gaze moves past her pale lips and to the dimple in her left cheek. Her deep brown eyes are endless and large, her smile that of a fox but her gaze that of a deer in headlights.

- {Twist} -
Piper has been in the asylum for quite some time, though no one quite remembers when she arrived or exactly how long she's been there. Many whisper that she was arrested for stealing children away, with only the sound of her voice and a handmade wooden flute. Her supposed motivation was declared madness, and so to the asylum she went. She claims all is not as it seems, though her story never makes proper sense. In her moments of deep, penetrating madness, Piper must be locked away in a soundproof cell. Her time in isolation always seems to change her, and those who are forced to deliver her food and water are subjected to her hypnotic singing voice for short periods of time. The sound is said to permeate the air and sink into one's bones, though its exact tone and pitch are hazy to recall.

 

[Elixir]

-{Character} -
Warren Snider.

- {Alias} -
"The Big Bad Wolf."

- {Role} -
Asylum Staff, Security

- {Age} -
(Looks about) Early 40s.

- {Personality} -
Warren is a gruff and silent type. He was hired because he's big and bad. He takes his job seriously while attempting to keep the patients from harming each other and themselves. While entirely human, the rumors of a beast who lurked the forest to eat the children who wander off permeated the villages around his previous home. As it turned out, Warren was not literally a wolf, but the eyes see what they see when they peer into the darkness of the forest. Formerly a woodcutter, he left the forests to seek a job that provided him with a more stable wage. He had no truly applicable skills, but was big...and bad. Security guard for the crazies it was. Warren is both capable and dangerous if necessary, and more than a few patients have seen exactly what happens when you attempt to cross the Wolf.

- {Appearance} -
Standing slightly over 6'5", he bears the body of a man who spent his life with lumber. Cutting down trees barehanded will shape you as a mountain, and he was no less solid than one. Weighing around 228 lbs of tight muscle, a trimmed brown beard sits on his wide jaw. His hair is kept short to prevent patients from yanking it, and his irises are both a dark amber. Yes, like a wolf. His standard uniform is one provided by the asylum, but outside of the workplace he can be seen in fairly standard t-shirts and jeans. Not a terribly complicated dresser.

- {Twist} -
Warren has indeed killed many people wandering his path through the forest. He was never caught, and fled his home knowing there were people catching on to his crimes. He left his own name behind and adopted Warren Snider, using his imposing frame to snag a job at an asylum. He doubted anyone would search for him here, and he left no trace of who he was in his former home. No evidence that could be linked to him, no crime. All he had to do was his job.

As the realization came that something had infact happend to his wife and his daughter was not a normal baby; he eventually became his wives main food sorce. After a night of feasting, the queen fed on the king in private fighting threw the nausea she occasionally had feeding on him, her sickness got worse and slowly and accidently the queen died from garlic poisoning via the kings blood.

It was years later when the king remarried to give his daughter a mother. The knew queen always knew something was off with Snow and it was mot until after the king died the queen came to learn the truth of Snow. This was the true reason the queen set about seeking Snows heart; the public adored their princess and her likeness to their past queen and would hear no words against the young girl as the queen daughter to hunt her down.

The Queen was the first to ever die upon Snow Whites fangs. Taking the thrown she married her love the prince a year later. Their happy marriage and Reign lasted 7 years. When Snow became pregnate,blood began to make her sick. Choosing between the life of her child and surviving without blood only lasted about eight months before Snow broke in her will and succumbed to her hunger. Several servants died as did her dear beloved when he tried to calm and control her. Unable to hide what she had done and was Snow fled into the woods, the dwarves sheltered her for a time again and she gave birth to her baby a week after. A beautiful baby girl.

A few days after the birth Snow was on the run again as the army was hunting her down. It was only a short matter of time til she was captured and never told the fate of her daughter. Snow was burried alive in holy ground as punishment for her crimes and to contain the 'demon' she was. It was 71 years later that children from another land who had moved there went to the cemetery. Believing the legends of the queen to be fake they dug up her grave on a dare. Out of her mind from starvation and left alone in her grief and mizziery. The last taste of blood lingering on her lips was that of her dead lover, the cries of her infant echoing in her ears for 71 years as hunger eat away at her being.

Snow feasted on the children who unearthed her and then followed her nose to the near by villages they came from close to 60 people lost their lives that night. Snow made it about a year, hiding and running and hunting as she went. Recently Snow was captured again and imprisoned in chains in a tower, realising that even if she was an 'evil creature' there was something not quite right about her and sent for help from the ranking Asylum where she is now being transferred too.

Wolves aren't the killers.. She took care of any animals in her youth and blamed them, the evil wolves lurking in the shadows. Took care of her parents and ripped them apart to look for the wolves that constantly were bothering here yet the wolves must've been in her parents too long because there was only blood.. Horrified, she ran to her grandmothers to save her before a wolf got her too. But a wolf tried to stop her, disguised as a woodsman. She took care of him and took his ax. Wolves shouldn't have weapons.. And continued to her grandmothers but it was already too late.. She took care of the wolf in her grandmother. Now she has no one and the wolves hound her daily, howling and biting at her from shadows. She just can't let them know that she knows they are really all wolves until she can kill them..
