Plot Summary: The town of Raven's Hollow is not your ordinary city. It is filled with supernatural creatures; from werewolves to sirens, from angels to demons, from the ones haunting the humans' nightmares to the most beautiful dreams. It is one of the last refugees left for these creatures, which were quickly becoming extinct after being hunted by humans in various places out of fear that they would assert their superiority otherwise with their magical powers and abilities. Raven's Hollow used to be a haven for the remnants of magic in this world.

But not anymore. Recently, a new unknown threat has appeared. Some of them felt it when the new presence arrived. The more sensitive ones felt the ominous tingle of electricity in the air, others felt their dreams disturbed by a half-formed premonition. The seers knew an age of change was coming, but for the first time could not tell for sure what it was. As days went on, one by one the townspeople began to disappear, seemingly vanishing into thin air from various places. First, a fairy. Then, a warlock. After that, a vampire.

At first, the townspeople blamed each other. See, maintaining the peace between all the different clans and races in Raven's Hollow was no easy task, with some of them being natural-born enemies, and some who physically could not stand each other. But when the vanishings continued to take random creatures of all races, seemingly affecting all of them, they soon realized that this threat did not come from their own neighbors. It was something else entirely, perhaps something they had never encountered before. And if they would have any hope to fight it, they must, for the first time in their lives, learn to not only get along, but also work together.

Details on any necessary information: This is an original AU for original characters! You may pick your own race - any magical race or even invent your own. Any two people (or more) can pick the same race, but you have to agree on that race's traits, strengths, weaknesses, powers etc to create one universal guideline for that race in the setting of this roleplay. You also get to decide which race(s) they get along with or are enemies with. Everyone else who joins up later and who wants to pick a race that already has set guidelines will have to follow it.

Universe Need-to-Know Info: This roleplay is set in an ordinary town like one you would find anywhere. If you absolutely need a geographical or cultural influence, I'd say Europe, but feel free to create characters of any descent.

Source: N/A

Restrictions: Open to any and all magical creatures! No humans, aliens, super-powered humans or any of that nonsense XD Also no overpowered world destroyer races for obvious reasons.

Questions? Ask them here!

All characters so far with profiles have been added, and once the storyline is approved, I hope to start this RP! We still have positions open for the big bad and the town leader figure open. Also feel free to create multiple characters!

EK, I still don't know what to call your species xD Just spider??

If we really need a villain down the road, I've had some thoughts about who it could be and what they want and warning it's based again on angel/demon mythology because I'm biased sorry not sorry. But he really wouldn't need to make an appearance until later, consider it a maybe-if-needed - if someone else has an antagonist idea they would like to implement, go right ahead, can't wait to see it! ^^

RP thread is up here! As we don't have a town leader figure yet, assume everyone is meeting in the town hall to discuss this disappearance business!

May I join? I haven't a character yet, but I'd really like to join!
Character ideas:
• Cat Sìth, using the idea that Cat Sìth are witches that can transform into cats. The catch of their ability is that they can only turn into and back from a cat 8 times. If they choose to turn into a cat for the 9th time, they'll live the rest of their life in that form.
• Swan maiden or maybe Selkie
• Baku, potentially mixed up with the bad guys? Mostly likely a young street urchin and new to town.
• Witch that either owns a Desserterie or Toy Shop, comes from a long line of child-eating witches. Currently on reform.

Of course! And all of your ideas sound interesting! I don't have any preference in particular, just pick whichever you feel most inspired to play (or even pick more than one )
