this is Salem, a land filled with magic and maladies. It is a place where witches and their elemental familiars gather, a home to legend and
lore that predates time itself. Yet of all the wicked and wonderful stories the past can tell us of, the most magical are the ones yet to happen.
This is Salem - this is the start of your very own journey. Welcome to starfall
Starfall is an animaga witch roleplay set in mostly modern times. Members play as witches in a world plagued by monsters, where the only safe spots are walled cities. Starfall strives to be a character-driven roleplay with expansive lore and a highly interactive plotline. We want to allow members to
create and look back on a magical journey, and mold the site and its plot as their characters grow.
FRIENDS you are a partner in crime. you are a high, the newest drug that she can sink her teeth into. and when she comes down, when she loses her fixation, she will fade away and leave you with ash. you will remember a supernova. you will remember brutal honesty. you will remember feeling inferior, remember staring upwards, wondering if you could keep up, if you'd want to keep up. and then you'll decide you wouldn't want to anyway. because fires that burn too bright, the grow too hot, they're not worried about the burns they leave in their wake. most of the time they don't even notice the burns on themselves, can't stop the candle melting as its life bleeds out from under it.
ENEMIES you will want to hate her. she will find your every insecurity, if she wants, and she will drag it out of you, tooth and nail. she will sink her fingers in your fears and your self-loathing and she will wrap it around herself like a cloak, tell you to hit her, hit it, and you will throw the punch because you want to smother what's been eating you up inside for years. you will stare at your own face in the backs of her eyes and you will see her, glimmering grin, and you will know that she likes this. she likes that she can do this to you. your greased hands will catch fire before you realize what you've done and she will not, will never be the one to quench the flame.
LOVERS you are here for a good time, not a long time. you are here as a fuse, destined to go out in a ray of dazzling sparks and blinding light. keep things light, keep things happy, keep things pleasant. don't come to rely on her, as she's curling smoke, glinting mirrors that will play tricks on you to keep you at a distance. the best way to lie, she'll say, is to be brutally honest, so when she tells you her secrets, you don't know what to think? are you close? are you friends? are you more? but you're not. and you never will be. because she can't be tamed. even if you call her icarus, tell her she flies too close to the sun, she would rather burn than be grounded.

BRIAR ATKINS
quiet soul with a fear of the dark
[attr="class","textholder"]
FRIENDS she keeps surface friends, holds aloft pleasantries to appease acquaintances. she'll host a tea party for you, ask you about yourself, tell you her dreams, her hopes, the lighter side of things. but by the time you walk out her front door you'll find you don't know much about her at all. she's as elusive as the monarchs that you find fluttering around the flowers that cluster her balcony. you know she has layers, that those bright eyes have something behind them, but no amount of careful poking and prodding will get her to loosen her lips. she clings to her past and to her nightmares with a fervor that knows no bounds. to break down her walls is to break her sanctity, her sanity, but maybe it's what she needs to make her whole.
ENEMIES turn your back on others. hide a knife in your pocket and wait for the moment when your friend bares their back to you. carve into their shoulder blades bloody scars so that they may never fly again. leave someone bloodied, bruised, and don't stick around to even try to say you're sorry. she believes in redemption, hopes desperately for the lost causes, but give her every reason out of the book not to help you and she'll be forced to walk away. make her blame herself, make her stumble, trip, fall, but don't take her graces and abuse them. don't use her to hurt others.
LOVERS she's incapable of loving you. love, when you let it in, when you embrace it, has the capacity to destroy. you can gut someone like that. and she would take it, she would accept that, if it were her own sake she were afraid of. but she's never been good at the things that matter. she doesn't know how to show you she loves you, she doesn't know how to respond when you kiss her on the cheek, ask her how her day was. she's spent so long building up walls, keeping the darkness in, that she's too terrified to let it out, least of all to you. and so she'll give you playful smiles; she'll keep you at arms length, wanting you but refusing to need you, allowing you to need her when she knows she can walk away. she will hurt you, she knows this, so it's better to play it safe.

Let me give this one a shot. My characters are not very complex, honestly I just wing out their plots most of the time jsdhjfkll. So here goes nothing.
Raven and Parker would be an interesting match. They wouldn't be exactly enemies, but not friends either. Raven would be to stubborn too admit that Parker is infinitely better than her and would try every time to prove that she's more capable. I can imagine Raven getting drunk in a weekly depressive episode in a bar and Parker just happens to be there watching her sing tone deaf yelling nonsense. Waking up more or less sober, Raven would absolutely try to distance herself from the latter. In the end they could just,,, lowkey tolerate each other, I suppose, with Raven bitching to Parker as well as being a bitch to Parker.
I also have one character, Claire, who I am currently rewriting. I figured out she and Parker would go along well, especially along the lines of Parker seeing someone best her--because Claire is uh, just like that. Claire is born a huntress, strong and straightforward, while from what I can see Parker is more of a stealthy person? I might be wrong. But it'd really be interesting to see their dynamics played. Also Claire has a pet arctic strix so uh, she can also fir the aerial show point. Her familiar is a huge boar, btw.
Percy is Starfall's resident young dumb heartbreaker, I suppose. She's had flings such as Ling (Verdi's Jester) and currently on the move with Jelly (Jail's Lev). I'm just really tempted to throw her with the Briar's romantic side, you know? Kiss, kiss, fall in love, until she realizes he is just using her to get more info about the Helios Knights. I see this happening while he is committed to Jelly. Wow, he's such a jerk...
Raven is not very artistic when it comes to traditional painting, but she's hella good at modeling, for example, also theater arts because she's a celebrity. We can throw them in a sort of painting session where Raven is the model? From there it can either be Raven bitching about the painting and her schedule...
These are just my ideas :))) I'd love to hear what you think <3
so i would really be interested to see the whole fire vs fire situation play out with parker and raven. i think that's a really good idea lol. there could also be a really interesting dynamic between them bc of parker's silvertongue background and feeling like she has chaotic free reign over w/e and raven might be more bound by the laws of her coven? so they might become those acquaintances where they'll like 'ugh yeah that bitch' and just kind of always get on each other's nerves when they're around one another while making it apparent they'd rather be anywhere else.
claire sounds interesting so let me know when she's all fleshed out and on the site?
also for briar!!! she is technically bi, but she leans wayyy more into girls. percy could definitely blindside her, but idt she would be immediately taken? it would probably have to start with a friendship and then develop into something more from her side. which, in the end, would probably make the backstabbing hurt more (which i am all about.
