    Default [M] Desert Roses (OOC)

    "When you're in the desert, you look into infinity.... It makes you feel terribly small, and also in a strange way, quite big." - David Lean

    "The desert wears... a veil of mystery. Motionless and silent it evokes in us an elusive hint of something unknown, unknowable, about to be revealed. Since the desert does not act it seems to be waiting -- but waiting for what?" - Edward Abbey

    Motionless and yet ever-changing, The Desert sits. It waits. It beckons, and watches, and sings a song of sandstorm and drought. The Desert is open, open-armed and open-mawed. A simple breeze drifts through, stirring sand and feathers. The sun bleaches bones and takes water. A coyote sits under the shade of a tree, a silent grin on its face. It knows that it will eat. Soon, later, it does not know. It just knows it will eat. And The Desert knows it too.

    Desert Roses is a collection of ideas I had, that I'd really like to get to y'all. Desert Roses centers around a group of people lost in the desert of the American Southwest. While they are lost, they slip into The Desert, a far more dangerous region, of this world and at the same time, not. Desert Roses deals with southwestern gothic horror, unseen elements of our world, and just how much humans mean. It has fantastical elements, like folkloric monsters, elemental chaos, and magic.

    Seems interesting!

    Definitely will write up a character today!

    Quick question: Do our characters need to come somewhere from the US? Like different states and the we somehow meet at this Desert?

    They can be from anywhere, they just need a reason to be in like, Nevada or Texas. I'll decide where they cross into it later, but they can be from anywhere.

    The concept is intriguing, but what is the plot?

    A group of people get lost in the desert, slip into The Desert, which is a magical extension of our world. There, they have to find a way to return to the rest of the world, while contending with magic, terrifying monsters, and learning that there is more to meet the eye in this world.

    Name: Victor McKnight

    Age: 21

    Gender: Male

    Occupation: Nurse

    Personality: Victor has been described as a very spiritual person. His beliefs in the metaphysical elements of the world and his need to understand his higher self makes him an odd, yet charming person to be around. He has a kind heart and is very compassionate. He is the type of person to drop everything and help someone who is in need. He is always at peace and will do anything to diffuse a tense situation.

    Physical Description: Victor stands about 6’0 and has a semi muscular build. His shoulders are slightly broad while the rest of his body is tone and slim. His long black hair sits right below his neck and has a natural wave to it. He has an olive skin complexion with sapphire blue eyes.

    Backstory: Growing up in the city of Seattle, Victor had a pretty simple life. From a very young age, he knew he wanted to be some type of healer so he could help out his community and his family. Losing both of his parents at a very young age, he was raised by his grandmother Iva and his grandfather Trevor. After graduating college with his nursing degree, Victor and a select few of his friends decided to take a road trip to Phoenix AZ to celebrate.

    Gift number: 3

    Other: Victor loves yoga and spending time in nature. He can never say no to a good adventure.
