♣♣♣

hey all :) some of you who have been around for a good while will remember this one but i've decided that i want to give this story another try. i'm a lot better at writing than i once was, and this story is very dear to my heart. whether you've been around me for years or if you have no idea what i'm talking about, i'm very excited for this one :)

i won't be taking the other version down or anything (over at @-mintymeows) but like... i'll be honest i haven't read it in a long while because it gives me second-hand embarrassment lol. so dw you don't need any background knowledge

the gist is that it's a boarding school for kiddos with magical powers :) obviously the title is blatantly similar to Miss Peregrine but i had actually not read the book(s) or seen the movie when i first started this, believe it or not lol

so... let's get into it!

♣♣♣

♣♣♣

Deep, deep, deep within the heart of the local woods, there lies a home that has been around for longer than anyone can remember. Everyone knows that it's there, but few have ever laid eyes on it. To the outside world, it is lost among a sea of trees and vines and steep hills, unlikely to be found by even the most seasoned adventurer. Seemingly, it can be found only if you already know exactly where it is.

The townspeople know it as "Madam Quartermane's Home for Troubled Adolescents," but none of them have ever laid eyes on this supposed madam. Children go to the home, often for years at a time, and yet none of them will speak a word about what they experienced within the home.

As far as anyone is aware...

What happens inside of Madam Quartermane's always has been, and always will be, a well-guarded secret.

Won't it?

RULES➣

i. at least one character will probably die. this isn't a horror applyfic like Camp Crescent Moon, so most characters will survive, but it is entirely a possibility. on the form, i'll have an option for you to say if you don't want your character dead, and i'll do my very best to adhere to that, but still...

ii. this story is set in a modern time, but the characters aren't quite your average kids. backstories and personalities should be somewhat realistic, but it's entirely possibly that your character's powers might have influenced their life in a non-realistic way (and in fact, i would encourage you to consider that possibility)

iii. the application for this form is somewhat unique--the original applyfic had somewhat strict roles that you had to apply for and make your character fit. since i'm so very attached to that story, i want to make sure that a few roles kind of carry over, even though they will change some. but, at the same time, i really enjoyed having no roles in Camp Crescent Moon. so, my solution is that there will be a few roles, which you can tailor your character to, and i will also be accepting characters that do not fit any role. if you have a really good idea for a character, i wouldn't wanna stunt you :)

iv. you can apply with as many characters as you like, but i may not be able to accept everyone. it depends on how many apply. i do want more characters for this story than Camp Crescent Moon (i'm thinking about 14 or 15 here) but just keep in mind that making more interesting and unique characters with very detailed forms makes them much more likely to be accepted. the password is to ignore the last rule and instead, sneak the number 42 into your form somewhere :)

v. i will be keeping track of who actively reads and who does not. if you never read, vote, or comment, your character will definitely become a background character and might just get killed off--even if that wasn't originally my plan for them. however, i completely understand that people have lives so i'm not gonna be unreasonable about active participation ofc. even for me personally, it took like a month for me to get around to reading the most update of an applyfic i'm in

vi. diversity is always a win in my book. gender, sexuality, race, body type, disability, neurodiversity, etc etc. be unique!

vii. trigger tags: this applyfic is going to go in a very different direction than the old version so it's hard for me to say what triggers might come up. i'll definitely put specific heavy triggers in the related chapters, but i'll give a general warning here for swearing, alcohol/drug use, sexual themes/dialogue/implications (no NSFW scenes), mentions of suicide, mentions of death, and possible character death. this one shouldn't be as triggering for anything as Camp Crescent Moon, because it's not horror, but please keep yourself safe :)

viii. be nice. this one is obvious i hope

ix. the password is to tell me your favorite color :)

again, remember that your character does not have to fit any of these roles. think of these like... ideas instead of strict rules. take them and do what you want with them!!

v. 
power: invisibility

vi.

FORM➣

name
first and last, and any nicknames if they have them

role or power
if they're not a role character, just tell me their power

age & birthday
normal age range is going to be from about 13-19 years old. if you want to make a character outside of this range, please ask me :)

gender & pronouns

sexuality

face claim
i won't require a backup face claim on the form, but keep in mind that if i need one, i will ask :)

personality
be as detailed as possible! i don't want just a grocery list of traits

clothing style
how do they dress? keep in mind the story is in a modern setting... there's a very lax dress code at Madam Quartermane's and no one who really enforces it anyway

family & backstory
who did they live with before coming to the school? what's happened in their past? keep in mind that some people's powers will have an influence here :)

at least 3-4

dislikes
at least 3-4

strengths
at least 3-4

weaknesses

fears
which are minor icks and which are major, crippling phobias?

death, disability, injury?
how do you feel about your character dying, becoming disabled (losing eyes, limbs, etc), or being injured?

friendships
you can be specific (as in naming other characters) or generic (just giving the general vibe of who they would hang out with)

love interest?
i cannot make any promises in this section, but again, if you have a specific person in mind you can say that, or if you don't want your character to have a romantic interest at all, then you can say that

aesthetic
books, tv shows, movies, colors, objects, adjectives, vibes, moods/emotions, whatever. anything that makes you think of the character. my characters have examples on their form (next chapter) but you don't need to be exactly like mine ofc

theme song/mixtape
at least one song that relates to your character is required, but you can definitely add more if you'd like!

quotes/speech
specific quotes that they say often, or just generally describe how they talk. do they have an accent? how often do they swear? etc etc

tags
not required, but if you know anyone who might be interested :)
