So I really want to do an Alice in Wonderland RP. I mean, it's sure to be frabjous. Note that I've only read the original, unabridged Alice in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-glass and What Alice Found There. Haven't watched any of the movies.

Plot Rabbit:

|SAVING THE AGE OF WONDER|

Wonderland had always been weird and wonderful, for its inhabitants a place perfect for crazy capering, and magic always abounded. The magic was what kept everybody's wonder at the world intact, because not even the most well-versed sorceresses and warlocks could understand or control the mysterious power underlying everything. Even if the people faced unhappiness they never felt like the world was dreary, that life was pointless.
But now, frightening legends were spreading like wildfire, too fast to be completely curbed by the efforts of the Queen of Hearts. Everywhere, it was being said that the Age of Order is approaching. When nothing would happen that couldn't be explained by fundamental laws. Everything would follow rules. Everything would be 'ordinary'. Life as the inhabitants of Wonderland knew it, would be transformed- and not in a good way.
Some people said that the Queen of Hearts, who was currently ruling, would establish the Age of Order by the end of her rule. These people were swiftly executed by lopping off their heads. In these days when the citizens should have been treasuring the last days of the Age of Wonder, they were instead despairing. Their only hope was that the legends that sprung up in answer to those about the approaching Age of Order were true: Someone called Alice would traverse a dark portal to reach them. She would lead them in a revolution to overthrow the Queen of Hearts before she could muster enough power to curse the land with Order. The Age of Wonder would be saved.

I've made profiles for Alice and the Queen of Hearts, I'll play either or both (depending on whether one of you wants to adopt and play one of them.)

|profile 1: THE QUEEN OF HEARTS|
Username: Cucumbersome
Character Name: Zefanya
Designation: The Queen of Hearts
Personality: Passionate, ambitious, impatient, cautious and doesn't readily trust people. Has very strong opinions and ideals that she will defend at any cost. Afraid of romantic love. Values efficiency and productivity.
Appearance:
Bio: She was born the daughter of her father's fourth wife. She grew up watching her mothers in constant conflict due to jealousy, always vying for the King's favours. They shared his bed and wealth but could never grab his heart and win his love so completely that he stopped acquiring new wives for them. Zefanya resolved that she would marry a crown prince, and make sure he wouldn't even want another wife- and in this she succeeded. Her marriage with the King of Hearts was perfect for her- he disliked the affairs of state and worshiped her. Effectively, she was the one ruling the kingdom.
Likes & Dislikes: Likes efficiency, things getting done quick and properly, eating healthy food in large quantities, people who fight their way up. Dislikes meat, extreme heat and humidity, bad hygiene, clumsiness, gambling, repression, discrimination, dismissal of someone without giving them a chance.
Extras: She doesn't like cooking, except for baking tarts. She likes making the crust heart-shaped and filling rose-essenced jam in the middle. She has a constant craving for them. (She's also in love with the Knave of Hearts, but suppresses it very well, because she thinks venturing into love is like a moth flitting into a flame. Plus she's quite fond of her husband.)

|profile 2: ALICE|
Username: Cucumbersome
Character Name: Alice Liddell
Personality: Dreamy, philosophical, restless, aloof, artistic. Thirsty for adventure. Costantly wanting to escape reality. Likes attempting to thin-slice people, and analyse them as she gets to know them.
Appearance:
Bio: She was brought up with few stories available, apart from fairy tales. However she and her sisters often went to a man called Mr Dodgson, a mathematician who was once involved in the clergy, and he told them crazy, delightful tales. He wrote her stories for Christmas in which she was the heroine, exploring a quaint place called Wonderland. It made her long to live her life as spontaneously and wonderfully as in the stories, and wish she could live her life off the beaten track and have adventures.
Likes & Dislikes: Likes nature and open spaces, fantasy, contemplating ideas on philosophy and psychology, literature, art, stories and literature. Dislikes dull daily grind, closed or congested spaces, narrow-minded people, the feeling of being alive but not living.
Extras: She has a pet rabbit. She likes him in an indulgent way but takes him for granted. She doesn't know he's no ordinary rabbit, but is soon to find out ;)

You can take any character from the books and twist them according to your fancy. It could be anyone from the Knave of Hearts to the Frog Footman- even if they were relatively minor in the canon we can have a crazy caper together in this here our head canon I won't say no to OCs either. And of course FEEL FREE TO PLAY MULTIPLE SWEETPEAS <3 There are more than enough whimsical weirdos to go around <3 <3

Now, about me as an RPer:

I. Am. A n00b. I've written more novels than I've played out RPs, but hey, we all gotta start somewhere. I must be out of my mind to GM when I'm a n00b, but it's not like I've really thought out the story beyond the premise I gave above, so we can all GM together

I have an idea I'm sure is well-placed, that group RPs tend to move rather fast. I usually post a few times a week. So I guess you can feel free to post as often as you like, because you'll anyway be limited by the posting being turn-based. Seriously though, I'll do my best not to slow things down if everyone's all fired up and posting every day.

So anyway, I know y'all want to have a cool crazy caper so post your profiles here. All our OOC chat and plot discussion and planning and stuffzors will happen here too <3
