It is June, 1692. It does not matter who you are. Whether you are a child, a mother, a father, a teenager, a senior citizen. Whomever you are, you have been accused. Whether or not you lie in prison or a noose is to be fitted around your neck, you have been chosen, called out. The magistrates will not believe you. The accusers will not believe you. The compassionate will not believe you. You are utterly defenseless, alone. But you have hope. You can pray or weep, you can join together in the group of the accused and plan and plot and hope for a way to escape this fate that has been thrust upon you. You are the accused. You are condemned as guilty. You are one of the witches. [b]Name:[/b] [b]Username:[/b] [b]Age:[/b] [b]Gender:[/b] [b]Who Accused You?:[/b] (you can make up a fictional person if you like) [b]Brief History:[/b] [b]Description:[/b] [img][/img] ((This is actually more of a historical fiction than reality sort of thing, but rather this subforum than fantasy, I suppose, eh?)) Rules: 1. Three characters are the limit. 2. Keep this on a PG-13 level, 'kay? Cussing is okay, but nothing too bad. 3. My roleplay, my rules; unless Coral intervenes. 4. Don't do anything too...crazy. 5. Stick as close to the facts as possible. YAY! PROFILES, BEGIN!

Only four at the time, Alyn was sent to the New World to live with her aunt. The two didn't get along. Her aunt once even said the only reason she kept Alyn was because the townspeople had taken a liking to her. However, when she was accused, that liking obviously didn't last long. Description: Name: Daniel Isaac Jesworth Username: Lykaios of the Shadows Age: Twenty-two Gender: Male Who Accused You?: My brother, Adam Jesworth Brief History: Born and raised in Salem, Daniel was a man almost anyone could trust. Being the eldest of two sons and two daughters, he was almost guaranteed to inherit all of his father's land and livestock. His young brother, however, didn't like this idea. Thus, he accused his own sibling of placing a curse on him. Description:

Ah, screw it. START!
Gwen Elizabeth
I rubbed my stomach as the child kicked me. I was hungry, and the child was definitely hungry as well. I was tired as well, but the child simply wouldn't let me sleep. I curled up in the pile of straw in my corner of the dungeon. Other people milled about, and dear little Gwen sat next to me, quietly. Poor girl. I wasn't even twice her age, yet she took care of me like I was her grandmother or somesuch. She loved children as well. I felt terrible that she had been accused; but then, none of us should have been accused. I wasn't a witch; nor was Gwen; nor, I knew, was anyone else in this dungeon. The real witches hid behind accusations and thought they could then walk out in public, head held high. The only people who could see behind their facade were the ones they had put in prison.
I looked at Rosemary. She was two years elder than I, but in just four days I would be fifteen. My first birthday spent in prison, I supposed, since I doubted that our captors would let us out before the week, much less the year, was out. The only people who left the prisons were the ones who had nooses fitted around their necks. "You have such lovely hair, Rose," I told Rosemary, fingering her red locks with a dirty finger. "It would be much prettier if it were washed, though." I looked at Alyn. "And you, Alyn, have such pretty eyes." Though I was only fourteen, I spent much of my time talking to my elders and attempting to make myself feel better in the act of making them feel better. I rubbed Elizabeth's stomach with my other hand. "You will have a beautiful child, Elizabeth. And she will be born to freedom," I promised. It was a promise I could not uphold.

Name: Desirae Langly Username: Staritessence Age: 15 Gender: Female Who Accused You?: Jamie Weist Brief History: I'm a dreamer, always with my head in the clouds. Until a certain Jamie Weist, son an extreamly wealthy man, insisted that I be wed to him. Me, who had no intensions of marrying the man, turned him down thus bringing upon myself a living hell, for Jamie had gone and told the town I had bewitched him in a fit of rage because he had asked for my hand. Now I sit here in the dark drearyness of a dungeon. Description: http://paige.favorite-things.net/header.jpg (wears a peansant blouse (much like the one in the gaia shop) under her corset (in the picture) with a skirt that goes along with it. DesiraeJalyn (Jay-lyn)I drew my legs to my chest as a bitter cold wind ripped through the dungeon. In the opposite corner three girls by the names, Rosemary, Elizabeth, and Gwen held small conversation while I stayed silent in my own little peice of the world.I smirked as I darted through the trees of the forest with my accusers (bad spelling) at my heels.

Actually, Starry (gasp!) you spelled "accusers" correctly. Great job! You're finally learning grammar and spelling. Oh my God.

Lisette- I rammed my body against the bars again, fighting to get through. If only I was a real witch, then I would be gone by now. But I wasnt, so I continued to try and escape. They put me in a solitary cage, deeming me to dangerous to be around others.
Rosemary- I sit up in a tree, waiting. They are below me, I can sense it. With one flick of my wrist, they are sent flying, straight toward a tree. With a loud crack, my enemies are dead. But they will be back, not the same ones, of course, but others. They always come back. they always chase me, trying to find the escaped witch. I've become a problem, a problem that needed to be stopped.

((Yes, Starry, unfortunately, in your post you made no contact with my characters and therefore I could not respond.))
I sighed, rubbing my stomach. "I hope so, Gwen. I hope so." With that, I turned over and slept.
I smiled at Rosemary. She lived in her own little world, as did we all. All of us lived in our own worlds; we had to, or we risked another type of insanity, the kind that could get you killed. I remembered my sister. She lived in my dreamworld, she and I and my mother. My father was banned from my dreamworld. I had enough to worry about without having a drunk in my head. You're ridiculous, little Genevieve Annette would have said. Stop pitying yourself. And live in reality. You're a pitier. Pity the others, the others that succumb to their dreamworld. Don't be stupid. "Jesus Christ," I heard one poor soul saying in the background, in reality. "Jesus, please, save me. God, save me." Like most of us, the poor soul--a man, I thought--was a Christian, and a strict Catholic at that. Protestants weren't allowed in our town, and only if they wanted to risk death and kept it secret. Of course, I was a Protestant. But I had been imprisoned and sentenced to death for a different reason. "Save us all, God," I said aloud, while Elizabeth slept and Rosemary dreamt, dreamed of a world that did not exist or existed in another world that I never knew of. "Save us all from the noose to be placed around our necks. Save us, God." Several voices murmured after my words, "Amen," and, suddenly exhausted, I fell into a wearied sleep.
