Sleepy Hallow (ready for rping)

[voidan]

In the quiet town of Sleepy Hallow, a village is plagued by a series of gruesom and mysterious deaths. These deaths have been occurring for five years, the week durring All Hollow's Eve. The bodies are beheaded, and their bodies strewn over the trees by barbed wire. Many believe it is the work of the Headless Horseman, the legendary ghost known for riding his horse through the woods and decapitating any unlucky passer-byer. Still, a few, growing sceptics remain.

Those sceptics believe it to be a copy cat of the Horseman. These men of the court have hired a man, a teacher and a detective, to solve this mystery. The villain has required through bloody message one sacrifice to end the killings before Halloween night is over, at the strike of midnight. So far, his bloody demands have been met. Now, it is up to one man, a Mr. Ichabod Craine, to solve this mystery. Or else have the entire town be handed over to the madman, ghost or human.


IMPORTANT:

This RP takes place in the late 1890's and early 1900's and I expect to keep it explicetly authentic. I hate to sound any bit hateful, but I know how most of you are the Japanimeniacs sort. Sorry, not here. Back in colonial America, there weren't (many/if any) Aisians around. If you participate in this RP, you are required to play someone who was expectedly around in those times (i.e. British, Irish, etc).

If you know a character in some manga/anime/etc that doesn't have a japanese last or first name you may feel free to use it. (ex: cain hargreaves from godchild may be used, also, hargreaves is currently taken...sorry)

Also, no demons, no angels, no samurais or ninjas. Also, no elementalists. Your specialty as a witch could be some form of element, however, but you can't use it just whenever you want to... finally, I don't care WHAT your power is, there's absolutely NO TELEPORTATION by anyone, not even the ghosts...Ghosts, of course, are welcome. As well as mediums and everything associated with that group. I am allowing those who wish to be witches/wiccans, as well as members of the Occult if you so choose. You are restricted, however. You may not do absurdly great amounts of magic, more along the lines of smaller magics until the RP gets going.

Note: I do need witches/wiccans!!

A solitary magic user is limited in their magic. In a group, they can do great and powerful things.

Fall picked up her skirt and began her quickly paced dash up the hill, away from the pond. She had decided not to come back to this particular pond for a while, at least not without some bread... As Fall ran up, six ducks were high on her tail, quacking wildly as they chased her.

"FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD!!!" they quacked at her. She, of course, was the only one able to understand what they were saying, having the ability to speak with birds. Before long, she lost them in the woods. They quacked more and fluttered off back to the lake to take care of their young, leaving Fall more or less in peace. "Dear Lord...that was crazy..." She said out of breath. Above her head two robins chirped.

"That's what you get for trying to communicate with the simpletons of the bird relm." One said. The other just laughed in its way.

"...shut up..." Fall muttered under her breath. She then made her way towards town through the forest, keeping a lookout for anything, other than her, that was out of place. "I want a different talent..." She muttered to herself. Talking to birds had its advantages, such that she knew most every secret in the town, but it also had its disadvantages. Such as misscomunication... Fall made it to the edge of the forest and decided to wait to return to civilization. She sat underneathe a tall tree and gathered some of her packed lunch for the day, an apple and a sandwich. Sighing, she relaxed and ate.
