New Member Guide [PTabbedContent][PTab=Guidebook] Guidebook [break] Welcome to SWEET MELODIES an original site dedicated to the creativity of the members. Here we would like to provide new members with an opportunity to contribute to the plot and to be as involved as they wish. With that, please keep in mind that brand new members might not be able to become a major plot point, but we would love to be able to build towards that. [break][break] How We Work [break] SWEET MELODIES is based entirely on a mixture of mythos and the imagination of the admins. We have no word count, but suggest enough to give someone else to build on. SWEET MELODIES is a slice of life plus type of place, that will hopefully become home to writers of all skill levels and experience types. [break][break] Expectations [break] We have little. Real life should always come first, and here we believe that writing and role-play is a hobby, not a way of life. If application are left for more than 2 weeks or a thread has gone untouched for a month, the admins will reach out for support. Admins want to be as helpful as possible, but communication is key. [break] There is also an expectation that this is all for fun. Pressuring for plots, begging for posts, or even unsolicited comments or critiques of writing or characters will be met with warnings from the admins. [/PTab][PTab=Getting Started] We ask that every character has their own account in order to keep one character per profile. This makes things much easier for the admins to keep track of who is is. When creating an account, please use your character's first name. If the first name has been taken, please add a last name. For example, username arabellamoore is much easier for the admin team than lilithdemonbaby003.

[break] Allmother - According to legends, she is the original mother of all outsiders [break] [break] For most outsiders, swears and vows are based around the Allmother. [break] [break] "Allmother be praised!" - A popular saying when getting good news[break] "Blessed by the Allmother." - A popular saying around magic using communities [break] The general theme is to praise the Allmother as a specifically for outsiders.

All of these events would be based in Louisiana, so characters from other places might not be too aware of the events. Please use this as a general record when considering character history and plot points.[break] [break] Vampires Arrive in the New World (1718): The Azalea Alliance, the first vampire nest in Louisiana is formed. The Azalea Alliance is created to give new vampires direction, a home, and resources available to them. Vampires would purchase a stone azalea medallion from the Alliance and place it on their doorways. This allowed people to identify other vampires, it also provided a protection spell for while they slept.[break] [break] Our Lady of the Water Opens (1803): Drawn to Louisiana, devout witches come together to train the next generations. This allows Our Lady of the Water to be built as a sanctuary for young women training to be witches. The school is opened in 1803 with a grand total of three student witches. This begins the tradition of cohorts in groups of three.[break] [break] From the Swamps, They Rise (1845): The first sirens come from the swamps and claim their role in the outside society.[break][break] The Fires of Orleans (1862): The Civil War rampages the nation. Union soldiers arrive in Louisiana. A small group of Union soldiers found Our Lady of the Water deep in the forests. The soldiers, werewolves from the North, decided to burn the school to the ground. [break][break] Rebuilding and Reclaiming (1865): With the end of the war, Our Lady of the Water was able to rebuild and expand. The new school was able to house and educate fifteen students at a time.[break][break] Succubi for Mayor (1962): The first outsider ran for office in New Orleans, a succubi woman named Clara Larzon makes history. She was unsuccessful in her campaign, but is noted as paving the way for future outsiders. [break][break] Reform for the Vampires (1971): After a high amount of vampires being created in the 1950s and 1960s, the Azalea Alliance came together to create new laws around creation of fledgling vampires. In order to protect their numbers and their ways, new vampires cannot be created without approval of the Alliance. Instead, the Azalea Alliance opens an orphanage for human children. Human children can be raised within the nest, and when they turn 18 can chose if they want to be a vampire or not. [break][break] Growing Tensions (2000): The body of Imara Westley, a beloved member of Oak Hill Pack was found murdered. Imara Westley was found drained of all of the blood in her body. This led to the growing tensions between wolves and vampires. [break][break] The Vampire/Wolf Wars (2000-2014): After years of bitter rivalry between these two groups, a secret war finally came to a head. Some succubi and some sirens fought along their respective cousins, but other outsiders stayed out of the war as the two juggernauts faced off in small battles all under the humans noses. Witches and druids sold spells to both sides, declaring themselves neutral in the war and the outcome. In 2014, robbed of all of their resources, the vampires finally admitted defeat. Vampires were forced to pay the werewolves for all damages done, and all of their assets were handed over to the werewolves. The Azalea Alliance orphanage was closed and the once proud vampire nests of New Orleans were left destitute and powerless. [break][break] Outsiders are Known (2016): The world is shocked as several members of Louisiana's state government were outed as werewolves. Not to be outdone, other outsider factions were shown to the world. Louisiana Governor Elijah Robespierre came forward as a true leader in the government, and even was able to push legislature through to allow Louisiana to be separated from the rest of the United States.[break][break] School is in Session (2020): The Robespierre Academy, founded by the Robespierre family with the backing of Oak Hill pack, has been opened for all willing to learn. The hope is to be a stage for all beings to come together and learn together. With the world watching, there is a lot of pressure on the school to succeed.
