Name of your roleplay: The School of Good and Evil
When it was started: NYS* (not yet started)
How many players you have: 3 so far, not counting myself, though I am looking for about 6 players. Those currently showing interest: TheTeeJaii, Chizakura, EllysSianoN
Type of Roleplay: Main types are School, Fantasy. A bit of Romance can be expected, because of how in fairytales love is often the focus. I will also offer a warning of some Dark/Mature because of the darker nature of the original fairytales and other stories.
What level of skill required: One or more paragraphs but not story length as I, the Gm, have limits to my skill and time for roleplay.
Plot Summary:
This roleplay will play out like many other fantasy school settings, though perhaps unique in the fact that it encourages both Good and Evil characters, ones that must grow into their roles of which ever fairy tale they will eventually become a part of by teaching what they will need to survive and find purpose in the Endless Woods that will becoming the setting of their story. Divided into Evers and Nevers, by there being two schools side by side, they will often find themselves in competition with their opposing side.
Remember though, not everything is black and white, many secrets are there to find that show the cruelty of Grimm Fairytales and other stories. There will not always be a Happily Ever After, Good may suffer from defeat and Evil may find victory. Punishments and curses abound, while some of the darker aspects of the stories people have grown to love are revealed.
The basic story is as above... but epic twists and turns, mysteries to be uncovered, and stories to learn. As one will need to learn to survive their fairytale one must first survive the school that will train them

Miscellaneous Information: I would offer that you read the book The School of Good and Evil by Soman Chainani, though there is a sequel recently out but I myself have not read it yet, as it can help give you a better idea of the setting. Yet this is not required, simply suggesting a good book.
In The Forest Primeval
A School For Good And Evil
Two Towers Like Twin Heads
One For The Pure
One For The Wicked
Try To Escape You’ll Always Fail
The Only Way Out
Is Through A Fairy Tale
There are five rules that separate Good from Evil
1. The Evil attack. The Good defend.
2. The Evil punish. The Good forgive.
3. The Evil hurt. The Good help.
4. The Evil take. The Good give.
5. The Evil hate. The Good love.
As long as you obey the rules for your side, you have the best possible chance of surviving your fairytale.
School of Good
As an Ever, you join a pantheon of great heroes that have graduated from the school, including Peter Pan, Snow White, Aladdin, Cinderella, King Arthur, and Rapunzel.
School of Evil
As a Never, you join a pantheon of great villains that have graduated from the school, including Captain Hook, the Snow Queen, the Big Bad Wolf, the White Witch, and Rumplestiltsken.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Rules
1. Must be an even amount of Princes and Princesses
2. No more then half of the Good characters can be princes and princesses.
3. A prince must keep his promises or come at risk of becoming a villain.
4. Two characters may be Readers, no more and no less, that are outsiders that know of fairytales from books.
4. Your character, if not a Reader, may have a known fairy tale character as family member/ancestor
5. Failed students will become unplayable, their fate learned of during roleplay (no spoilers).
6. Remember your characters are in training and thus will not have amazing powers, though every character will have a special talent or gift they must discover.
7. Character ideas must relate to fairy tales or other such stories. Keep in mind that this seems to count the likes of King Arthur and Anastasia.
8. Students may not kill each other, the school will expect that to be left for when students enter their fairytales.
Character Creation:
Either pick one of your currently created characters and alter them to fit in this setting or create a new character of almost any fantasy/fairy tale race, just keep in mind of where they would most likely go. If not one of the two readers you character may be related to a known European fairy tale or Arthurian character.
Special Rule for Readers:
One will join Good and the other Evil, though there will be a degree of chance on where they may go. Meaning for the player there is the chance the character may not go to the school you wanted them or planned on them going to. Thus requiring you to play your characters in these schools even if they feel they don't belong. Will be considered by many students as outsiders, as they are not of the fairy realms and not related to any fairy tale character.

Looking for a Co-GM, one with experience on this site as well as running a roleplay on this site. I would recommend that they read the book by Soman Chainani titled The School of Good and Evil though it isn't required. Knowledge and understanding of legends and fairytales preferred!
Character Sheet
Name:
Race:
Gender:
Age:
Appearance:
Ever (School of Good) or Never (School of Evil):
Personality: Being a Ever or a Never will effect your character's overall personality, especially since students are required to follow certain rules.
Backstory:
Special Talent: You may pick one thing, within reason. Examples from the book is a tattoo that becomes a demon that fights for you, transforming into a lycan, revealing things as they truly are, and even something more general such as having greater affinity for hexs or speaking with animals
* Parentage/Family Relation: This is only if your character is Realmborn, and characters will almost always match the status of their blood for being a Ever or a Never.
Do You Want to Play a Reader?: Y or N and PM GM (if so your character has no Parentage or Family Relation in the Realms)
