Thread: CLOSED [+ MTV Shannara Chronicles - CLICK]

RE UniRealm Original HISTORICAL-FANTASY Concept In other related FANTASY concepts, I also have a craving related to the Shannara Chronicles TV series on MTV. See below! The Shannara Chronicles is an American television fantasy fiction show based off the the second book The Elfstones of Shannara of the Shannara series by Terry Brooks, that premiered on MTV on January 5, 2016. The show has only had one aired episode, the two-hour premiere, in which it introduces the main characters and general fantasy world. Because this show is so new although the books are from the 70s onwards, I'd like to start a roleplay that centers around this series, but specifically, around the fantasy realm and its current doomsday crisis. I'm not as interested in the characters specifically or the bookshow series as a continuum. However, I really loved the storyline, and specifically swooned over a secondary male character, Ander Elessedil . Ander does not have a significant role yet in the premiere, however he is very charming, smug, and independent. He does not take his role as a Prince too seriously, considering he is not the next kin to the throne his older brother is. If you have not seen the premiere, but would like to, you can find it online at mtv.com. However, if you don't feel like watching but are still interested, FRET NOT! It is not necessary to have seen the pilot, as the only important thing in this roleplay is that it holds a very stereotypical-fantasy theme, and that I will be basing the roleplay on the Shannara world realm from the series. THAT IS BASICALLY IT. SO, how will this work? I'm going to keep it simple by describing the general Shannara series fantasy realm. The series and roleplay takes place in the post-apocalyptic world called the Four Lands, hundreds of years after a nuclear holocaust that basically wiped out Earth as he know it in modern day. The Four Lands are supposed to be a futuristic version of our own, however it hugely deviates from the standard sci-fi theme in order to embrace a completely stereotypical fantasy world it's very Tolkien-esque. From the holocaust, the humans evolved into other races such as Gnomes, Dwarves, and Trolls, though, the baseline human race still widely exists. However, after the nuclear holocaust, a new species race emerged or rather, came out of hiding, known as Elves your typical human-like elves. After the Great Wars, the world was divided into Four Lands. Each land is named after the compass point it faces the Northland, the Southland, the Eastland, and the Westland, and is the primary home of different peoples. The Westland is the homeland primarily of the elves, while the Northland is mostly inhabited by trolls and the Eastland is the home mostly of dwarves and gnomes. The Southland is primarily the homeland of humans. Each species essentially fight with one another, however there is a particularly shared hatred for Elves by other species including Humans. For that reason, Elves are especially secluded from others, as they are often hunted for leaving the Westland. In the Four Lands, the belief of magic is trumped by the many hundreds of years the magic has been hidden. Most races believe magic is just part of the many fairytales and folklore told within the lands. However, all of these tales are true, and magic does exist. So do Demons, and so do Druids . However, the demons were banished into a dark realm known as The Forbidding . The Forbidding, a powerful world-encompassing magical enchantment, was created back in the time of Faerie to banish the Demons to a timeless dark limbo-like world known as Jarka Ruus. The key to the maintaining of the Forbidding is the Ellcrys , a sentient tree that keeps the Demons locked away so long as the she remains standing. The Ellcrys was created through faerie magic involving the transformation of a young Elven girl into said tree. Currently, the Ellcrys stands tall in the center of the Elfish Kingdom Westland, ruled by King Eventine. However, the Elfish people believe the tree is symbolic, and not actually magical, until recent magic emerges after the tree becomes ill. The King, however, knows the truth of the tree and magic, but has kept it a secret from his family and people since the end of the wars. SPOILERS - DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOTWANT TO SEE THE PILOT EPISODE Other things to known See more - There are no more known Druids humans chosen to be magic-users and fight evil. - The Ellcrys has become sick because the demon lord ruler of the Forbidding named Dagda Mor has escaped. He is an extremely powerful magic user and very dangerous. He also brings with him a Changeling, who he uses to kill the Chosen. - The Chosen are a group of seven Elves who ran a race through Westland forests blindfolded. The first seven to reach the Ellcrys tree are considered to be blessed chosen by Ellcrys to serve and protect her. However, the race has become more of a symbolic tradition, as the Elfish people don't realize the legends are true until the tree becomes sick. - The King's granddaughter, Amberle niece to Ander, ran the race and was the seventh Chosen one, despite running the race without her father's permission she was trained by Ander. She is also the first female to run win. Perhaps because of her gender, she is especially chosen by the Ellcrys, as the tree begins to communicate with her through visions of the future. Amberle has two visions, one of the Elvish people being eaten by demons, and the other of her murdering her boyfriend another one of the seven Chosens. In fear of hurting him, she runs away. - When she is gone, the Changeling sneaks into castle and kills Amberle's boyfriend having taken the guiseshape of Amberle herself. The Changeling then kills the other five Chosen ones, leaving Amberle as the only remaining and surviving Chosen member. The Changeling then leaves the castle in order to hunt Amberle down. - THE ROLEPLAY WILL TAKE PLACE AROUND THIS POINT. We can have my character introduced either right before the Changeling slaughters the Chosen, or right after. STILL INTERESTED? Keep going! The character I wish to play is an OC, one that I created a while back for fantasy roleplays. I was inspired to modify her origins in order to fit the Shannara series after watching the pilot premiere on January 5th on MTV. Thus, I have edited her character to properly blend into the Shannara fantasy realm, and have plugged her into the current Shannara Chronicles storyline. SEE BELOW! Serinthya Pronounced Sir-rin-thee-ah Species Hybrid half demon, half tree Appears Female, human Unique characteristics Rounded ears, purple eyes Powers and abilities Magical, magic-using, shape-shifting, untapped telekinesis, telepathy partly - about to feel emotions and sometimes thoughts other ORIGIN Born of the demon Dagda Mor, ruler of the Forbidding, and the sapient magical tree Ellcrys, Serinthya is an oddity to the Four Lands . She emerges from The Ellcrys after the tree becomes ill and begins to rot. The Ellcrys, located in the heart of the Elven kingdom in the Westland , is surrounded by royal Elvish headquarters, to which the Elessedil family, with King Eventine, currently rule. As the Ellcrys begins to wither, a humanistic form begins to sprout from a wound-like rift in the tree's trunk. Sirenthya, thus, in adult form, is born. She is pulled out of the tree by the King's second son, Ander , who is drawn to the tree late-night after hearing the song from an enchantress' voice . He is lead to the Ellcrys , who's trunk has split to reveal a bloodied, naked, and barely conscious woman inside Serinthya. After tearing her from the tree's core, he immediately recognizes her to be the little girl from his dreams. Ander, throughout childhood, had dreamt of a child similar to him in age, who called to him through ghostly song. The girl, who he remembers as having bright purple pigment of her eyes despite his dreams being colorless, he thought to be a figment of his imagination, now lay cradled in his arms at the roots of the sacred Ellcrys tree. I'm looking for someone to play Ander Elessedil, Prince and second son to King Eventine. About the Pairing Depending on the level of smut we want to incorporate, we can have the two share a strong intial bond and sexual attraction right off the bat. Their relationship will also heavily depend on how we want the roleplay to pan out. I don't have any particular ideas. Just some thoughts brain-storming. Here is my general idea of the roleplay Because she has sprouted from the sacred Ellcrys tree, I'd like for there to be great controversy over what to do with her and over who she is. I'd like for Serinthya to be MUTE for the beginning of the roleplay though she is deliberately not talking, not that she is literally mute. There could be a sort of rift over whether she is good or evil, having come from the tree would suggest she is a product of Ellcrys, or even Ellcrys herself, OR some could speculate that because she emerged from Ellcrys only now that she is sick, that perhaps Serinthya could be in fact a demon from the Forbidding lands. Especially because she refuses to talk, or appears not to understand English, the King Eventine is at a loss for what to do. I would imagine his eldest son, Arion , the crown Prince, would be cynical and cautious around her, referring to her as a Siren who called out to Ander to use him and probably eat him. He would deem that they lock her in the dungeon until they figure out what and who she is. Ander would be on the opposing end as usual of his older brother, and would want her to join the festivities rather than be treated like a prisoner there is an Elfish ball being held in the castle, despite the ailing Ellcrys - the ball could be for whatever reason. Ander, or course, would not reveal to his father or brother that Serinthya is the girl who has appeared in his dreams for many years. If Ander is over-thrown in his decision to honour her, not imprison her, Serinthya, dubbed Siren, could be jailed at the castle dungeon until further notice. She could perhaps seduce him lure him in with song once again. Or perhaps she will not talk, but in the middle of the night, begins to sing again. Ander is awoken and heads to the dungeon to see Serinthya. The Druid, Allanon , could return the following morning after she is pulled from the tree. He would warn the King, his good friend, that this strange Siren is unknown to him and a mystery to the legends meaning he has no idea whowhat she is, but that she is most probably a product of Dagda Mor and therefore must be evil up to no good. Because she is mute andor refuses to speak, Allanon would propose that he interrogates her tries to use magic on her to get her to talk. Serinthya would either be immune to Allonon's magic, or she would deflect his magic by using her own suddenly revealing to everyone that she is more than just a siren, but a potentially powerful andor dangerous magic-user. If we want to incorporate the Changeling from the pilot, I have a couple ideas for that. Not to spoil the show, just PM in and we can discuss that. If we want something more smut-driven, Serinthya could somewhat seduce Ander. Perhaps they already bear a connection from his dreams, which she remembers, and while he is sleeping at night - she sees his dreams in her own mind and he is dreaming about bedding her. She sneaks into his room to stare at him as he dreams of her. He would wake up to find her standing by his bed, like a dark figure looming over him. THOUGH, if you have any other ideas, SEND THEM MY WAY!
