Name: Caitlín Conláed Gender: Female Age: 32 Type of Legendary Creature: Kelpie What does the creature do?: Lures humans, specifically men or children, to nearby bodies of water then drowns them before being devoured. Appearance: In human form, appears as a lean, middle aged, fair skinned woman with long platinum blonde hair often kept in a ponytail or bun with luminous green eyes. She favors wearing short dresses in various shades and hues of blue accompanied by a few accessories or jewelry. In her true form, shaped like an adult Clydesdale horse, has the same colored fur, mane, and eyes. But what makes her stand out from the rest are the scars located along her back and chest received from a failed attempt at killing a man secretly armed with a knife. Personality: Being the nature of the Kelpie, she can be tender and sweet then murderous the next. However leans more to the latter which doesn't go unnoticed by her peers leading to criticism and insults. Over the years she has learned how to ignore this as well as other forms of negativity with either a witty response or simply letting it go through one ear out the other. She is easy to please and ask little of others. When angered or making an emphasis is her Irish accent the strongest.

Name: Reinmund Abendroth Gender: Male Age: Unknown, assumed to be in his early 30's. (He's 32 but people tend not to ask) Type of Legendary Creature: Nachtkrapp What does the creature do? (give a brief summary about it): The Nachtkrapp was featured in a cautionary tale, from Germany, that was told to young children to get them to go to bed. According to those tales, if a child were to see it then it would abduct and kill them in a very violent way. In other versions, it would just crow and flutter it's wings until the child was forced into silence and sleep Appearance: During the night he turns into a very large raven with deep black feathers and almost glowing yellow eyes which is about double the size of a normal raven. However, during the day, he assumes the form of an average 6ft, well-built man with jet black hair falling to just above his shoulders. His eyes still hold that yellow quality but tend to be hidden by his bangs. His clothes generally consist a black, button-down shirt, jeans and boots during this time but he hardly ever leaves the house, being mainly nocturnal and all. Personality: Rein is generally quite calm and passive-aggressive, but isolated and somewhat lonely. He likes to think things through before making tough decisions, too. He can almost always be found either sleeping in his house during the day or solving puzzles at his kitchen table. However, during the night, when he becomes that large raven, he becomes a lot more violent and makes a lot of mistakes but he still thinks a few things through before going to visit a child. In any case, it takes a lot to anger him but when he is angry, well, it is advisable to stay away from him. Although, he almost always sounds like he's yelling due to a thick German accent anyway, which makes a few people try to avoid him, leading to his generally isolated behaviour. He is hesitant to make new friends for fear of scaring them off but those few that do know him know how much of a sweetheart he can be.

((Hi, I have several questions.

1. You have only put down 5 bullet points for characters; does this mean that there can be only 5 characters in the whole roleplay?
2. If this is not the case, is it okay if a user has more than one character?
3. If a user is allowed more than one character, would it be okay for me to play a pair of changlings, one the human that was taken and the other the mythical creature that replaced him?
4. Does the paragraph limit apply to all posts, including the intro? This is because I tend to make my intros far longer than my normal writing, because I like to get as much information about the character written about as I can. As well as this, is there the possibility that the paragraph limit will be relaxed later if users all demonstrate that they can keep up with more than the limit. It seems to be a very restricting limit, and it's the only thing that's really putting me off, as it seems as though it might prevent any real description from being posted.
5. What are the ranges of magic in this roleplay? European legends vary immensely, so I wanted to know if it is up to the user to follow the legends to their own discretion or if you intend to set out rules as to how far it should and shouldn't go?))

:D I was in Cinque Terra last week! /happy dance Awesome~ I changed some aspects of 'my' creature, but nothing very drastic!

Name - Teito Nyström Gender - Male Age - Seems to be around 24, real age unknown Type of Legendary Creature - Fosse-Grim What does the creature do? - Male water spirit who plays enchanted songs on a violin to lure adults and children in lakes or streams. Not necessarily malicious, sometimes teaches music to those who earn it and can sometimes fall in love with a human. Appearance - Teito usually prefers to walk around in his human form, only showing his real form to those he trusts. As a human, Teito stands at 5'7'' and has a lithe and slender body. His skin is tanned and blemish-less except for scars on his hands and wrists, gained through those either pulling on his arms while drowning, those who didn't manage to learn to play his music and became angry at him and the one time he was caught. His hair is black, but seems more like asea green at times and falls like a shaggy lion's mane, just passing his jaw bone. His eyes are a intense amethyst color and have a slightly wider than normal pupil. He usually follows the latest trends, but sticks with slim pants, cardigan, scarf and boots. His true form is either that of a young white-tailed Deer or of one similar to his human appearance. His humanoid appearance is that of a young man with pale skin, dark sea green hair that seems perpetually wet, the same amethyst eyes but with a ring of sea green around them and the small antlers and deer ears. His form is still slender, but he's seems much more beautiful (as to be able to lure people away). His deer form is that of a young white-tailed deer with small scars on its fore legs. Personality - Teito is usually a very kind person and very soft spoken. He loves music and nature, but dislikes being alone. But because he is often lonely , it has made him harden against directly trusting people and opening himself up. He dislikes his instinct to lure&drown, but does try to stop and instead teaches music to those who want it. He ignores the fact that they should be able to earn that right and teaches them even though they don't have the talent, leading to very hateful people. Teito seems shy and often his instincts as a deer shine through, making him very jumpy and sensitive to people and sounds.

Tis this okay?

Can I still join? :D

Name: Cole Baldwin Gender: Male Age: 25 Type of Legendary Creature: Griffin What does the creature do?: Usually guards treasures or secret possessions, as well as a protector from evil and witchcraft. He also has somewhat of a power to heal since his claws and feathers can be used for medicinal purposes. Appearance: In human form, he has slightly overgrown brown hair with white streaks, green eyes, and lightly tanned skin. He stands about 6 feet in height and is thin but muscular. He wears a dark gray, hooded T-shirt with a picture of a black crown over his chest, blue jeans, and regular old tennis shoes. As a griffin, his eagle half is that of a juvenile bald eagle (since he is not an adult in griffin life spans) so his feathers are mostly brown, with white speckled on and around his head. His lion half is similar in color to the West African Lion. He is about 11 feet long from beak to tail tip, with a wingspan of 15 feet. Personality: He is a bit of a dare-devil. When he is in griffin form it is not uncommon to see him doing aerial tricks in the sky. Since he is still young as far as griffins go, he can act a bit naive and he is generally mistaken as dim-witted but that just hides his sharp mind. He is brave and not afraid to stand up for others or his beliefs.

Is this okay? Also, would it be possible if you could message me the plot?

may I join???
