A long time ago, in place filled with war and fear, a miracle happened. Twelve winged humanoid creatures came, and brought peace to the lands of Swindlincote. The winged ones, as the humans called them, soon began interbreeding with the humans, producing hybrids. After thousands of years, something happened. Something somewhere broke, and it’s spelling the end for this lovely town, and most of the citizens in it.

The hybrids are the most common folk you will see in the area, and they aren’t quite perfect. Normally born with disfigured wings, missing wings, wings growing out of limbs, featherless wings, etc. They are the middle class of the prospering town, and are almost never in a position of power. Many rebellion groups have come together to try and dethrone the winged ones, but none have succeeded as of yet.



The pure winged ones are by far the rarest sight you will see. They are the royalty, nobody is above them. With elegant feathered wings, they can be seen soaring through the skies on nice days, if you are lucky enough to see one that is. Very few of them are left, their numbers barely reach above 50 compared to the thousands of hybrids. Nobody dares speak badly about the winged ones, they may face horrid punishments if they do. They are all the celebrities, the richest citizens, and hold all of the powerful positions. The younger winged ones go to exclusive private schools, where other winged ones teach. They almost never interact with anyone of a lower class, as it’s seen as taboo.



Humans are the lowest class, treated like slaves. They work in the fields, receive minimum pay, and often beg for food on the streets. There are only a couple hundred of them left though, and their numbers are steadily decreasing. The whole town sees them as lesser beings, and they treat the humans as such. Normally quite resourceful, the humans have been known to steal what they can’t afford.


——————————————————————


Swindlincote is a modern town, that used to be the star of the known world, but something not so good is making its presence known. The government has been covering it up, as they evacuate the winged ones, but their story is starting to fall apart. Protests have erupted in the streets, crime has skyrocketed, and anarchy seems close behind. Nobody knows what it is happening, but earthquakes are becoming more and more common. Houses are being destroyed, families have been torn apart, and too many lives have been lost.


——————————————————


There are 5 slots open for winged ones, and I’m taking one, so four are left for all of you to fight over. Only one winged one is allowed per person. I don’t want a lot of winged ones in the roleplay, so they are first come first served.

NOTE: All winged one spots have been filled up.

Note: You can have any wing/hair color for your characters, as long as it fits into the realm of reality. No bright pink wings, and no naturally blue hair. Same with skin color. No green people walking around in this roleplay. Keep it realistic please.

An example of a character form ( This is also going to be my character in the roleplay):
Character sheet:

Name: Fiona

Race (Winged one, Hybrid, or Human): Winged one

Gender: Female

Age: 22

Relationship status ( If old enough to have a relationship that is): Her partner recently died, so single I suppose.

Physical description: Pretty tall, around 6’ 2”. She has tan skin, and long brunette hair. Her eyes are a dull brown, with a pair of large, equally dull, brown wings.

Personality: Comes off as cold and rude, but is very sweet if you get to know her. Doesn’t really think before she acts, and as such can be seen as impulsive. Quick to anger, and doesn’t calm down easily. She has been struggling with depression since her partner died, which has contributed to her anger issues quite a bit. Has an intense obsession with being the center of attention, likely due to a lack of attention growing up.

Other: Has a dead rat named Thomas she keeps in her pocket at all times, even though it is mostly a skeleton by now.

Extra guidelines/ Things you should know:

  1. No godmodding. Basically, no having ‘gods’ ( super powerful/invincible characters), and no controlling other people’s characters without their direct permission.
  2. If you feel like something someone said in the roleplay is offensive or inappropriate, feel free to send me a DM, and we can all sort it out. Please don’t tell them not to do/ to do something, it’s rude and unnecessary, and you aren’t the boss here, none of us are, not even me.
  3. No advertising other roleplays on this thread.
  4. Any criticism of this roleplay is welcome, but being rude isn’t. If you want to give feedback on this roleplay, shoot me a DM. This is my first roleplay on this site, and I know it’s not going to be the best, so I would LOVE feedback.
  5. No breaking ANY, and I mean ANY BYC rules.
  6. No talking bad about other people or their characters. If you don’t like a character someone made, feel free to DM me and tell me why.
  7. Whenever you are out of character, please use parentheses when you post. When your character/s is talking, use either “..” or ‘..’ to show it’s them speaking. I personally use ‘..’, but most people use “..” on this forum. Feel free to use either, I couldn’t care less. Also, please put anything your character/s think in italics, like this: Oh no! Timmy thought, as he watched the glass fall off the table.

( Tagging @LittleBigBantam. I was going to get this roleplay out like six hours ago, but I got caught up in an emergency.)

Character sheet:

Name: Rose

Race (Winged one, Hybrid, or Human): Winged one

Gender: Female

Age: 21

Relationship status ( If old enough to have a relationship that is): single

Physical description: 5' tall, with short curly strawberry blonde hair(super short on sides, long on top), wears round glasses with thin metal rims. Her wings are jet black and shine purple in the sun

Personality: Very quiet, but opens up to people who shes close with. She doesnt like to use her power of being a purebred to an advantage, and will occasionally sneak down to the village to be with thy hybrids. Rose has crippling anxiety, and is really bad at talking to other purebreds, and she gets especially nervous around girls, to the point where she likes hanging out with guys more.

Other: shes queer, and if available, I'd like her to have some form of large pet that also had wings
