Highest fantasy, highest hope

[oakensocks]

𝔬𝔫𝔠𝔢, further back in years than anyone alive could remember, there is a land that even time has forgotten, filled to the brim with magic and mystery both good and ill. This is where you make your home. Who you are in this kingdom - or many kingdoms - is as varied as the blades of grass that spread over this lush terrain. You could be a petulant princess, a delving dwarf, a highway man with more than a few secrets, a devoted knight, a mage of ancient spellcraft, or even an ageless elf. No matter your station, though, one thing is for certain: whatever life you lead, it's about to get a great deal more exciting. There is a war brewing, somehow, somewhere, and the peace of your homelands is at stake. You are the only one who can set things right and go on a quest to save everyone. Still, what is an adventure without an adventure of the heart? You are not alone, and you'll find that trying times can forge ironclad emotions. Of course, you'll find that the path of love is no easier here than anywhere else, be the person you admire an arranged fiancé you're not too fond of at first, a forbidden object of desire, a traveling companion, an enemy, a lifelong friend, an ally...or another species from you entirely. Yet, in any case, this is no time for romance, is it? Only moments can be stolen, and you must set aside your feelings for the greater good. In this time, in this place, will you get your happy ending, or will this story prove to be a much darker fantasy? Comment with your character, information, preferences, and any AU you might want to do with your character if they're not from an applicable setting. Reply to others. Thread with them.

["It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single roleplayer, in possession of a good imagination, must be in want of an AU (and a tagging partner)"]

Little thoughts:
-"I don't count": Molly is the ordinary girl/woman, the supportive friend, the usually optimistic despite the bleak circumstances type. Probably a peasant or some type of laborer.
-"You Do Count": Molly seems very ordinary but some event or prophecy suggests there is more to her. Maybe she's a lost princess, maybe she's got a natural affinity for magic, maybe she's a foretold reincarnation of a demigoddess of Death
-"I've Got a Lunch Date/He's Not A Sociopath": Promised to someone else and struggling with feelings for your character. Alternative: trying to ignore any feelings for your character by focusing on how supposedly perfect and normal the OTHER person is and she'd be a foot not to want them (Spoiler: she doesn't want them).
-I'm sure there are other fantasy tropes but that's all I've got for the moment.
