Okay…Yup. another RP. Plz don’t judge meh XD BUT
@loopylin had an INCREDIBLE idea for a room on the character castle, and I was like YALL THIS SHOULD BE AN RP!!!So yea! First off, some tags!
@koshka @elishavet-pidyon @freedomwriter76 @felicity @mineralizedwritings @lightoverdarkness6 @esther-cSo this RP, as titled, is the Backstory RP!
so I have seen fics like this, and it’s pretty much where characters are “snapped” to a “theater” sort of setting, and watch the backstories of their friends, and react to them. They usually comfort them during this time, usually there’s breaks between the backstories for people to have reactions/to comfort or just to say something or whatever.
And I was like “oh this would be cool if we did this!” Because Loopylin had the idea for this as a room in character castle, but how about an actual RP?
Not everyone has to be a part of this obviously, and we don’t want to overwhelm, and because backstories can be a bit long it’ll take some time for everyone to get a turn, but that doesn’t mean uou’ll be sitting around doing nothing, because your characters will be reacting during someone else’s backstory.
make sense?
We just have to make sure to have periodic pauses during backstories to give ppl chance to react to large moments (or even small moments. Wherever we want a reaction)
Or u can just insert ur reactions after Everything, if ur character has a certain reaction to a certain flashback, for instance of the backstory has been finished, they can put it in their post as a quote like this-
Backstory-
And then there reaction here like “Man hate that this happened…”
And we’ll consider that as happening while the backstory was playing.
(I hope this makes sense. If not…just whatever XD XD XD)
ANYWHOO!!
So we don’t have to do any “author” explaining or have to have our author selves inserted, I figure I’ll just write a note explaining to the characters what’s happening! And then the characters are poofed in, and the note is hanging there and they read it and are like WHAT XD
so yea I’ll put my charries in first in ma next post.
And if no one else wants to join me…then…yea just ignore me XD

Y’all could not have had better timing! I just finished Keiryn’s backstory! I’m wanting to do some art ot go with it, so maybe one of you two can go first?
I’ll have Keiryn, Kaine, Everly, Lesli, and Tauren here to react, but I’ll probobly only share Kaine and Keiryn’s backstories. (I guess this proves there’s more fun in sharing the sad backstories XD Kaine and Kieryn got all the angst)
Ok, this presents a interesting problem.
My newest Charrie, Kendrick. He’s the antagonist in Kaine’s backstory, but there’s a lot more under the surface…. maybe I should wright up his backstory real quick? 🤔
(Can you guys tell I like K names? XD)
"And so I left this world just as I had entered it. Confused."
@loopylin YAY I WON’T BE ALONE XD XD we will probably not start until a good bit gets here because last time on the truth or dare we started and then a lot joined and it got a bit confusing so we might wait just a bit. We’ll see 😊
now for ma charries!
My characters suddenly appear in a fairly dark, theater-like room. They tense, each of them looking around nervously for any sign of trouble. They stare curiously at the many, many leather chairs in front of them, seated before a tall and wide black screen, that has two red curtains on either side.
Lyn steps towards the chairs, then stairs at the curtains, reaching towards them to take them in her hands. “Reminds me of back home…” She whispers.
“What is this place?” Luna asks, eyes wide as she peers around, giving off a small unnatural glow.
Ara’s brows furrowed as she looked around for any sign of familiarity. Something gripped her side, making her stumble slightly. She glanced down, noticing Paxton gripping her tightly, along with Hope, his bear. The boy hid his head in her side.
She frowned, wrapping her arms around him. “Hey…it’s alright, Paxton…”
“Wh-where are w-we?” He asked quietly, blue eyes looking up at her.
She pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.
November scratched the back of his neck, meeting Ara’s eyes.
“Better question. What is she doing here?” Nyx hissed, hackles raising, readying to pounce.
The group turned, then tensed as they spotted the dark-haired girl sitting in one of the leather seats.
She glanced at them. “Easy. I’m as confused as all of you are.” She glanced at the kit, then sighed, returning to stare ahead. “There’s a note on that table, by the way, if any of you want to read it. I haven’t yet.”
Grimm raised a brow, “And why haven’t you?”
She shrugged. “Didn’t feel like it. I don’t exactly get to relax much,” she snarked.
Ara let out a small sigh, then approached the table, Paxton still hooked to her side. She lifted the note, then began to read aloud.
Hello darling characters, this is your author(s).
“Oh not her…” Nyx whined.
You’ve been gathered here today for an event that I believe will help bring a bit of closure to all of you. And if it doesn’t…well…at least it’ll help me write you all better.
“Way to break the fourth wall.”
“Shh!” Luna said.
In this theatre, more characters created by other authors will gather, and together you will all sit and one by one watch-
Ara paused, brows raising.
“A-Ara? What is it?” November asked, approaching. She turned to face her friends.
“It…It says…we’re going to be watching…our backstories. Our lives. Before this, I mean…”
They all stare at her.
The room grows cold.
“Aww nawh, that ain’t happening.”
“For once,” Corvina stood from her seat, fists clenching. “I agree with the fox.” She glares, looking around. “No one is going to watch my life. No one!” She stalks toward the door, but as she tries to open it, she finds it is locked.
She can’t open it, no matter what she does.
“AGH!” She cries out in anguish, kicking it.
Jocelyn frowns, brows furrowing. She lowers her hands, clasping them together. “I…don’t think we have a choice.”
Paxton looks up at Ara, eyes bright and glassy, “B-But…I don’t…don’t understand…I don’t w-want t-to see it a-all…a-gain…” The boy chokes on the last word, rubbing his cheek against Ara.
She tries to soothe him, note still in hand. She looks at it again, reading it.
To your right is a room called the Break Room. It’s there should any memory be too much. Don’t be afraid to embrace your pasts my dears. Love, your author(s)
The group stands in silence for a moment, Nyx and Corvina seething.
Ara sighs, running her hand through Paxton’s hair.
“Well…I…suppose we’re doing this then…” November looks at her.
She nods, and, being the leader, decides to take the first step and sit. The rest follow, November sitting on her left, and Paxton on her right.
“I guess now, we just wait.”

#ProtectSeb@mineralizedwritings lol! K names are cool!
Also if anyone has a backstory that another of your characters can’t see at the moment then that’s okay, u can poof them out for that specific backstory (I’m planning on doing that for Corvina and Novembers. I’ll have to poof out my other charries but still let their backstories play and have corvina and November be there so y’all can react and comfort them)
#IfMarcelDiesIRiot
#ProtectMarcel
#ProtectSebAbsolutely awesome idea!! I love it!! I’m gonna put Dylan, Asher, and Iris, Matthew and Lyla in, but only do Dylan’s and maybe Asher’s backstory. (Those two are the only back stories I’ve come up with so far.)

Imma introduce some new characters in here!
Maggie (Mags) McKay – tall and skinny, short light brown hair, blue eyes, 22
Nico – messy black hair, really tired looking, 23, brown eyes
Ethan – Nico’s little brother, 21, glasses, looks a lot like Nico but with better hair
Joe Shmoe (yes, that is his name) – totally normal human person, brown hair, glasses, average height, Nico and Mags’ coworker
The four appeared in the theater, already in their seats. Nico looked around himself.
“Never had this dream before. Hope it’s not a nightmare.”
“Oh, hi Nico!” Ethan said, leaning over Joe so Nico could see him.
Nico glanced at his brother and then looked back at the big movie screen in front of him. He sighed. “Yep. Nightmare.”
Maggie looked over and saw she was sitting by a stranger. She jumped a little in surprise. “Oh! Hello… what’s going on?”
“Nothing says autumn like slurpin’ apples.” -my uncle
This sounds really neat, as long as y’all don’t mind spoilers.
If you do mind spoilers, then I’ll add my characters, but probably won’t show many back stories. If you don’t, then I’ll do more of them.
First Grand Historian of Arreth and the Lesser Realms (aka Kitty)
Fork the Gorkso glad ur gonna join! Yea I’ll probably end up writing the backstories on the spot cuz I don’t have them pre-written XD (except some of Ara’s is)

#HugRikerSquad
@koshka I don’t mind! @loopylin
Four people appear in the theater seats beside them. Nyx’s hackles raised immediately.
“Oh! Hello…what’s going on?” The one girl asked, now seated by Jocelyn.
“Oh hi!” Jocelyn said, putting out her hand for a shake. “I’m Jocelyn! Bet this is super confusing, huh? Don’t worry, it was for us too! Hey, Ara, you have that note?”
“Mmhm,” Ara nodded, passing the note to Lyn, who then handed it to the young woman.
Lyn smiled, “This should help clear some things up. Oh, and uh…I wouldn’t try that door,” She pointed to the exit. “It…won’t open. We haven’t tried the break room though.” Lyn looked to the right where an open doorway with a curtain cutting it off stood. She shrugged as the new group began reading the note.

#ProtectSebThis does sound fun!
I just realized that Viktor never told any of the others much about his story. Maybe that will be fun to see.
Hmmm….
Also, I love Corvina. XD
