This rp is adapted from the Daughters of the Moon book series.
Setting:
This is an urban fantasy, which means it takes place in the present in a regular area. We might even start out in a school...
History:
A great evil lived in the world millennia ago. This evil was named the Atrox. The Atrox ruled over the land, destroying it. He was a great shadow...There was a group of people who knew that had to do something. They prayed to the moon for wisdom and strength, Selene was their goddess. They believed that they were her children. Through her they became the Children of the Moon. Their presence kept the balance between the Atrox and his Followers and the Children of the Moon.
Children of the Moon:
They are people who are supposed descendants from the Selene, the moon goddess. They each have a special ability. They gain this ability at different times, before the age of 12. When they get their powers, a ruin forms on their wrist inside a circle, which is the symbol of the full moon. Latin is their base language, their native tongue, despite never having learned it. The powers of the Moon and of the Atrox ebb and flow with the cycle of the moon; when the moon is full, Children of the Moon are the strongest, but they are weak when the moon is dark. Eclipses are really bad.
They are born into normal families. This is because when they turn 23 they must make a choice: to fade away (no one knows where you go) or lose your powers and your memories, to pass on your heritage to your children. No one knows why this happens, but it does. That is why when a Child is born, they do not know anything about their powers. There can only be one child that is a Child of the Moon per family, it has always been that way.
There are few, called Guardians, that look out for Children of the Moon. They try to find them before the Atrox does. They educate them and tell them about their powers. Guardians do not have any magical abilities, but their knowledge is great. Many times they know when a Child is born, because they know who the mother or father was. It is their law, that they don't talk anymore to those who chose to lose their memories.
Followers of Atrox:
All the Followers were once human. Followers have great powers. First all of them are immortal. Most are only immortal with little to no powers. But they can be strong, fast, and have enhanced senses and abilities. Many of the older ones are even more powerful. They can get into your mind, trap you in their memories, and some of the most powerful ones can hypnotize. The powers of Followers range from being a newly required member with limited abilities to an old powerful member. The oldest, strongest ones are leaders of the Followers. The powers of the Moon and of the Atrox ebb and flow with the cycle of the moon; when the moon is full, Followers are at their weakest. When the moon is dark, Followers are at their strongest. Another thing is clocks. Digital clocks especially. They have an aversion to them because it reminds them of what they lost: time, mortality, hope. They just don't like it, but it doesn't keep them away.
Followers feed off of hope, the hope of others. They take it away. It helps them feel more alive, but it never refuels their loss of hope. Followers lack hope. They live for only the Atrox.
You become a Follower by your own will and choice. No one can make you. Many people who are depressed or have lost their hope submit to the Atrox and become Followers. What they can also do is capture you and hold you so long you lose your hopeor feed off your hope, then it is very easy to make the choice to join them. When you do, you lose who you are (people who lose their hope but don't become followers can be cured, but only by people like the Children of the Moon or Guardians).
Followers usually dress in black. They all have phosphorescent eyes, especially at night. The newer followers are punk or emoish. That's the newer style. It was the Followers that created the legends of vampires, but yes, they can come out during the day…
Okay, you are going to be either human, Child of the Moon, or a Follower. Spread yourselves out. Your character(s) should range from ages 15-20. Or at least be like that in appearance. You can either start together, or start apart. Followers should start together.
