There are keys in the human world, keys that open a portal to an alternate dimension called Hale; put it in any door lock or cabinet lock and you get a portal to Hale by opening the door. These keys are scattered all over Earth, they find their way to their holders via magical means. They disappear when their holder becomes too old to be going between the dimensions and they appear where their new holder will find them. When you enter Hale, you transform; you become more powerful, stronger, faster, you gain two powers and you know how to use up to three weapons. You also become different, your hair can change, your style can change and your clothes almost always change; you come to embody the style of your key... an antique key might make you someone from the 1800's or older, a car key might make you a racer, a clock key might make you obsessed with time and a house key might keep you normal. However, lately someone has risen in Hale. A dark force that is simply called Knight... Knight is rumored to have been a holder, a holder who was corrupted by the power to enter Hale and abandoned by his key. He wants his key back, he wants it badly enough to kill all the holders to find it. Many of the creatures are trying to help him because he promises to bring them to Earth.
{More In-depth}
The Keys
- They turn any door into a portal to Hale
- They can change how you look, dress and sometimes how you act when you enter Hale (i.e. a key with a fish on it might make you into a mermaid, a key with a star on it might make you dress with stars on your clothing, a steampunk key might make you dress like a steampunk type of person)
- They might affect your weapons (i.e. a key with a knife on it might make your primary weapon a knife, steampunk key might make you use steampunk inspired weapons)
- Keys types themselves can repeat(I.e. two clockwork keys, two rose keys...) But the powers they give should be different to avoid someone confusing characters.
- Keys leave their Holders when the holder turns 26 years old. It will also leave if you become corrupted by your abilities, as in the case of the mysterious Knight. Keys can be held by people who are not holders (I.e. a character getting the key from a parent/grandparent) and passed down to people who are.
- Only other holders can see the key; no one in the 'real world' will be able to see it unless you allow them to. There are a special few who are related to holders that can see and keep them without being holders.
- Each key has it's own drop off location within Hale. You can pick it during your first post of entering Hale.
Hale
- Hale is a different dimension, right next to ours.
- The only way to get in an out is through a key made portal
- If you die in Hale, you are dead everywhere
- Time in Hale moves 10x's as fast as Earth. If you spend an hour in Hale only six minutes have passed on Earth; if you spend 6 hours in Hale only 36 minutes have passed on Earth; a day(24 hours) in Hale is 2 hours and 24 minutes on Earth. It's real simple to calculate, you can ask me if you don't know.
- Hale is set up similar to Earth, however it only has one small continent. It is mostly a giant forest. Off to the east is a mountain range with a wide array of tunnels running through it. The west is more of a desert while the north is a tundra and the south is a lot of beach area. There are also a few lakes in the forest and a river or two.
- Hale has several houses and cabins in it. Some are claimed by holders, others have creatures living in them.
- There are a lot of creatures in Hale; ranging from vampires to mermaids to werewolves to elves to harpies and trolls(rarely a bigger monster might appear like a dragon or a minotaur). They are NPC's though, so you won't be playing them unless one of your powers is to turn into one of these creatures. Most are aggressive and fight with Knight against the holders. Only the elves and mermaids are termed as good; though some subspecies of these are 'evil'(specifically dark elves and sirens).
- There are plenty of animals to hunt and cook if you choose. Plants are also abundant and most are edible, but some of it is toxic and will kill you. Be careful what you eat and where you hunt!
Knight
- Not much is known about him.
- He was once a holder, but his key left him when it detected he was becoming corrupt. Now he is looking for his key and he'll kill to get it back. If you want to be the new holder of his key, PM me.
- He was once a friend of Veronica Hews, but when he went bad she distanced herself.
- He is open to be played; first come, first serve but I will take him away if you aren't playing him well.

{My Characters}
Name: Veronica Hews
Nickname: She goes by V, the only person who knows her real name is Knight and she has forbidden him to use it since they met four years ago
Age: 19 years old
Gender: Genderfluid, female pronouns
Key: Steampunk Key
Powers: V can manipulate any metal; however, she has discovered she cannot control the keys. She can also pause time for a few minutes, she has to wind up her key via the button on the teeth of the key and when it runs out time resumes.(I'll only use it for a few posts at a time) The time pause is only valid for a one mile bubble around her key, as soon as something is out of the bubble it unfreezes with a strange feeling of time passing without it; it may cause nausea, vertigo and possibly loss of consciousness in severe cases. Both powers cause extreme drain on her so she tends to avoid using either too often.
Weapons: Bow and Arrows,Pistol and Sword.
Looks: Real World and Hale (note: her dress goes down to her knees in the typical layered fashion of a Victorian era dress{it's white}. She also has a belt that holds her pistol and sword... Two pockets are located on either side of her skirt and she keeps random stuff in them like loose gears, her cigarettes, a lighter and various bits of metal.)
Sexuality: Bisexual with no preference towards either gender
Crush: None... that she would admit to... she kind of likes Knight...
Gf/Bf: None
History: Veronica is your typical punk girl, she has been since she was around 12 years old. When she turned 15 she got into steampunk, started going to conventions and reading graphic novels. It was at one such convention that she found her key. The key was being sold in one of the stalls, however only the owner could see it. The owner was the old holder and when he noticed she could see it too he gave it to her and explained the whole Hale situation to her before sending her on her way. She went into Hale the next day through her closet and started her little adventure; she hunts dark creatures a lot and mainly goes after Knight's followers. She and Knight have a bit of a history... they both started coming to Hale around the same time and became friends; however, when he lost his key she distanced herself from him. She is currently trying to figure out what it is Knight is trying to do with the keys, but she's been unable to get close enough to where-ever he is hiding without being attacked by multiple monsters; she ends up using her time freeze to give herself a head start in running away.
Other: She's well known among the holders as a one time friend of Knight and an expert on his minions/followers. She is big on hunting and killing his monsters so she tends to get some degree of respect. Hale is the only place where she smokes and she buys her cigarettes from one of the elf clans up in the mountains. On Earth she is attending MIT with a goal of being an aerospace engineer
Name: Andres Howard
Nickname: Andres... you can make a nickname for him if you like
Age: 15 years old
Gender: Male
Key: Winged Key

Weapons: Dagger, Throwing Stars and a Shuriken.
Looks: Real World Wings in Hale
Sexuality: Homosexual
Crush: Nope
Gf/Bf: None
History: Andres has a lot of siblings and is stuck being the youngest. His parents sort of ignored him for a long time, they were caught up taking care of his older siblings and their needs for getting into colleges and such. He didn't get a lick of attention until he announced he was homosexual at a rare family diner. His parents weren't supportive or against him, they just let him be him and didn't do anything about it. When he found the key, he was walking home from school and saw it on the sidewalk. That night, he had a dream that explained everything about Hale and the next morning he went through his sister's bathroom into Hale. He hasn't left since then and his family has been looking everywhere for the past eighteen Earth day and six Hale months.
Other: He doesn't want to go home. His picture is plastered all over his neighborhood and school; feel free to recognize him from missing posters if you run into him!
Name: Mizu Jules
Nickname: --
Age: 18 years old
Gender: Female
Key: Elegant Key
Powers: Manipulating the atomic of anything she touches. To explain, she can make their atoms change; she can make the atoms more dense, therefore making them harder/softer... She can make them phase through things, make them lighter or heavier and even change the material they are made of(changing it from wood to steel for example). She can also sense vibrations, like Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender... It helps her see.
Weapons: Broad sword, Japanese fans and a katana
Looks: Earth Looks Hale Looks
Sexuality: Pansexual
Crush: None
Gf/Bf: None
History: Mizu was born blind and was coddled from a young age. Her parents are of higher class, so they had the money to pay for the best tutors and all of the nurse makes she could ever need. She started to get curious about life outside of the family estate around the age of 15. So, she snuck out one night. She got lost right away and couldn't find her way home with no one to guide her. A beggar boy found her and took her home, giving her a key that he had been given. He told her that it would take her somewhere she might be able to see. She used the key that night, slipping into Hale. Though she couldn't see, the vibrational power was good enough. Now she visits daily.

Weapons: Daniel does not fight with weapons. He prefers to just launch his surroundings at his opponents.
Looks: Real World - Same in Hale
Sexuality: Asexual
Crush: Nope
Gf/Bf: No
