Cautionary tale - a fantasy roleplay idea.
WARNING! Wall of text below, for lore reasons.
The Fae are whimsical creatures, notoriously unpredictable as their motivations are barely comprehensible to mortals.
What they consider fun, may be horrifying to a human, what they consider enjoyable may be torture to us.
They usually don't care about morals at all. Doesn't make them evil, just... impulsive and unpredictable. As if they simply don't understand the concept.
The first thing to know for sure, is that you don't know what a Fae is thinking, or what it will do next.
The second is, a Fae is capable of anything for the sake of its own entertainment.
One particular Fae is a mysterious magical being living in the darkest of the forest, rumored to collect children. Looking like a beautiful, motherly elven woman with a dress vowen from living vines and flowers. Some say it's a nymph, others claim it's a dryad, in other tales she's a forest hag in disguise.
In those stories, she's either luring unattended, ill-mannered children to the woods to capture them and take them to her home, or offering favors for desperate mortals willing to sell her theirs.
There are only wild guesses of her motivation. Some say hunters have slain her child, and she's desperately looking for that one child who can replace them.
Others claim she gains sustenance from the emotions of innocent children.
Certain tales theorize that she simply collects them like others collect stamps, mugs or garden gnomes.
Even crazier tales, meant to scare children from wandering into the forest, speak of children trapped in cribs made of living branches, laid on moss and flower bedding, bound by vines, large white petals wrapped around their loins, and a strange flower silencing them, feeding them a nectar that keeps them nourished and young, for as long as their captor sees fit... possibly forever.
But these must be just crazy, scary stories to keep children in line, threatening them to be caught by, or sold to, the Forest Fairy, if they don't behave.
There can't be more to it, can there?
_______________________________________________
If you're still reading, I'm looking for a partner to play either the Forest Fairy, or one of the children she captures or trades for a fairy favor. Older kids work too, but the Fairy's nectar will slowly rejuvenate them to the age she thinks they would be the cutest at.
As it is obvious, the child will spend a lot of time tied to a crib, in a possibly living diaper. Whether they will be let out, depends entirely on the Forest Fairy's mood, or how well they can convince her for the (at least) brief periods they can talk.
If you look for something very different from the usual fandoms and would like an original setting, send me a private message.
I play here and on Discord as well.
