#harpers island rp

[rphunter]

this is a really long shot, but i’m just dying to roleplay harper’s island rn! specifically, smth involving jd dunn & another male character - i want to wreck that emo boy and i’d love to write for him, but since this is a rlly niche fandom, i’m not gonna be picky! as for the pairing - i don’t mind who he’s with, though i would be interested in smth involving john wakefield bc he gave me major silver fox vibes and i am but a helpless sucker for murderous old bastards. if ur interested, drop a like & i’ll get back to u. happy halloween! 🔪✨

Carrying the Banner Starting Note

This fic was originally an rp between my friend and I. We ended up having quite a bit of fun with it so I decided to transfer the chat from Skype into Google Docs and make a fic out of it. Now, I’ve gotten express permission from my friend to post it, so here we are now.

Some points that need to be made:

It’s a little all over the place as when my friend and I rp we only have a vague outline of what we want to do then make the rest up as we go. 

Some chapters will be much shorter than others. Each chapter is generally dedicated to one of the four ships (see below) and a lot of events in this happened to more than one ship so I decided not to just continually repeat myself unless I saw necessary.

Canon Characters:

Albert DaSilva

Davey Jacobs

Oscar Delancey

Spot Conlon

The ocs are as follows:

Gemma Hayes

16

Manhattan Newsie

Ship: Albert DaSilva

Lucille "Lucy" Larkin

16

Singer at Medda's theater

Ship: Davey Jacobs

Hilda "Birdie" Beckett

16

Staten Island Newsie

Quinn "Scout" Harper

Leader of Staten Island Newsies

Ship: Spot Conlon

HARPER'S ISLAND — a small island about 100 miles off the coast of california. population est. 3000. in august of 2007 john wakefield went on a murder spree, killing at least 7 people before being caught and killed by the island’s sheriff early in september of the same year. or so it seemed.

PLOT — rae warner was born and raised on harper’s island, living there until the vicious murders committed by john wakefield; murders that ended with the murder of rae’s mother. after that the family moved to california and rae proceeded to travel around america, eventually meeting a man named anthony brooks. the pair fell for each other instantly, and it didn’t take long for rae to discover that anthony had been to the island when he was younger too.

skip forward a few years and the pair are getting married. it didn’t take much discussion for them to decide to have their wedding on harper’s island. rae had been hesitant due to the memories of her mother’s death, but since she thinks john wakefield is dead she decides that harper’s island is perfect.

it’s not long after they all step off the ferry that people start disappearing. they’re assumed to just be exploring the island, that is until - not 24 hours after stepping off the ferry - that rae’s father is found dead. everyone is a suspect. rumors spread that maybe john wakefield is back and the sheriff confesses that he isn’t sure that wakefield died that day ten years ago, but it’s not guaranteed that it’s him. it could still be anyone. there’s a mad dash to escape the island, but there’s a large storm on the horizon and no boats can pass through until the storms over. trapped on the island with a murderer, it’s a fight for survival as the wedding party and harper’s island natives band together; but is someone in the party the one thinning out the group?

RULES — normal stuff? be good to each other, keep drama ic, come to me if you need to talk about drama or ask any questions, etc. try to be active, but it’s not a big requirement. the verse is gonna contain triggers, especially for death/murder and possibly gore. more triggers may pop up in biographies and as things go along - all triggers need to be tagged!

send in your apps here. just make up a connection to the bride/groom ‘cause they’re both npc’s so it doesn’t matter. be aware that most of the wedding party have probably at least met each other, most likely to even be friends. some muses can just be people living on the island that don’t have a connection to the wedding or the people in it. if you’re struggling come to me ‘cause i have lots of ideas!

npc’s are gonna be killed off, and muses may be killed off too. muses are only being killed off if the player’s choose to kill their muse off. if your muse is killed off you can still do stuff in the group verse; be it setting things before the death, playing out flashbacks through threads or having other characters hallucinate your character.

duplicate fc’s are ok if both muns say so, be it twins or just people that “look alike”.

track the tag gv. return to harpers island and post bios in vb. rthi. i may make a discord server for the group verse if people are interested.

APP — mun name & age: muse name: muse age: face claim: how they know the bride/groom: if they know one of them put how here, if not skip this part in wedding: bridesmaids/groomsmen, planners, photographers, caterers, guests, etc. skip if not applicable. living on harper’s island or just here for the wedding:

Pern Au Lore Snippets

Will I ever actually write this au? Probably not. But I DO want to get this nonsense out of my brain, so here’s some bits of lore. Feel free to snag for your RPs or fanfiction or the like if you want, heaven knows I’m probably borrowing from half a dozen other things I’ve seen people write.

The larger holds didn’t always have the large outbuildings and surrounding cots that they do in the “modern” day. Back before the Plague of Moreta, pretty much the entirety of a hold’s population would live within the cliffs, sometimes far enough in that the air was pretty much always stale despite whatever vents were put in when the hold was first carved out. The plague, being a respiratory-based illness, meant that suddenly it was far more important than ever for holders to have access to fresh air both to avoid the illness and to avoid aggravating the lungs of the survivors afterword. The big holds built out more than they carved in from that point on, and eventually many of them kinda forgot about some of the back passageways and rooms.

Speaking of Holds, the majority of cots and small holds are structurally similar to single or multi-generation homes do on Earth, but the major holds tend to operate similarly to Ancient Roman apartment blocks- basically, an individual person might have a room for themselves or share it with a few other people, but sleeping’s about the only thing the whole wing might be set up to do. Bathrooms, restrooms, kitchens, etc, are all in other parts of the hold. Wealthier families might have something closer to a modern college dorm with a suite or pod of rooms that all share a bathroom, but hall-style dorm living arrangements are far more common if the sleeping quarters have a nearby bathroom at all.

Mixing a bit of the “Crafthalls are not Monoliths” lore from another post I saw a while back with something I vaguely remember from the Todd books: There’s been a good handful of schisms in the past between the main crafthalls, the biggest one on my AU being between the Eastern and Western Harper Halls. Generally speaking, most of them were caused either by a few rogue Masters or Journeymen running off to do their own thing or just by way of being too physically far apart to keep from going their separate ways.

Still, the biggest split is between the people who got apprenticed to the various Halls and the people who are engaging in the craft in a vernacular manner, e.g. the guy who learned to make furniture via being apprenticed to a Master versus the guys in the smaller halls that are making furniture because their Hold needs the stuff and it’s too expensive to get something made elsewhere, or the locally-woven cloth versus the stuff made in Weavercrafthalls. In my AU there’s quite a few people that can paint frescoes and the like, for instance, but your local man is probably going to be more along the lines of your average medieval monk’s artistic ability (aka not particularly detailed or realistic), versus the more Romanesque and Renaissance-styled artists you can hire out of the Eastern Harper Hall. There’s a strong element of classism there, but the crafthalls like to think they’ve got the One True Way of doing things even when they really don’t.

Bees made it to Pern. There’s no way that half the crops the colonists brought would’ve made it if the bees didn’t.

Similarly, I’m replacing the llamas that I saw mentioned in the Dragonlover’s guide to Pern with Alpacas, specifically the Paco-Vicuna variety, because llamas are Mean and Paco-Vicunas are Nice creatures that are Extremely Soft. The High Reaches have the overwhelming majority of the herds of them, and has a small Weavercrafthall set up just to make luxury woolens from them. Local holders call them llacuanas or something similar, though, because while the guy who brought them knew what they were, pretty much all the other holders just thought they were llamas and a few wires got crossed.

Cinnamon specifically might have failed to transplant to Pern, but the majority of spices did well enough once the right climates were found for them- mainly in Igen (Ingen? what is spelling). The area’s surprisingly wealthy as a result, similarly to how spices made the Arabian peninsula area wealthy during the days of the Silk Road and the like.

Tillek may be pretty rainy, but that’s because the climate is close to the Pacific Northwest- it’s a lot of temperate rainforest in that area. Pity the local flora doesn’t lend itself to woodcraft- most of the trees are either stubby and spindly and really only decent for firewood (if you can dry it out) or are the super-tough stonewoods that’ll pretty much break any ax or saw if you’re not careful... or if you’re just not lucky. Lots of marshes and fens and the like, too, so fishing really is pretty much the main way to go there.

Fort and Boll are accordingly north and south California. Nerat has a few parts that mimic Florida, but most of it’s tropical rainforest. Benden is just the middle coast of the USA. Heck, to an extent you can just mirror the Continental USA onto Pern’s Northern Continent- there’s general principles to how climate works re: coasts and interiors and the like and it’s just the same on Pern.

There’s been a few tries to get colonies up and going on the various island chains outside the Northern Continent, but none of them really stuck, even as a penal colony. The wyers just can’t extend protection over the oceans during Passes, and getting wooden ships to go out that far when threadfall is a thing was just too much of a risk, and it turns out that 50 years plus however long it took to send out the next few boats was generally long enough for things to go Horribly Wrong. There’s still a few landmarks there that dragonriders can Between to- mainly a couple Stonehenge-like setups- since the cattle that were released/escaped on the two biggest islands have done pretty well, making it a tasty stopoff for dragons. Plus whatever fruits and the like the wyers can scavenge. Most interesting thing otherwise is the unique subspecies of fire lizards, which have larger wingspans with a bit more patterning to the wings. They tend to migrate up and down the island chains as the seasons go.

The Southern Continent as a whole is held in about the same regard by sailors as Medieval kings held the mythical kingdom of Prester John- a super cool legendary location that TOTALLY exists, but is actually nowhere near as mystical and majestic as the stories say. It got lost pretty much the same way the islands got lost- the wyers just couldn’t spread out enough to cover the ocean passage, even if they could cover the landmass areas. By the “modern” time in my AU pretty much only the sailors near Ista and Boll give it any credit at all, and only because there’s always That One Ship that gets seriously unlucky and/or just has a shit navigator and ends up on the other side of the equator before they figure out how to get home. Boats from the Nerat area generally can’t stock enough in their holds to make it to the Southern Continent, much less make it back.

Devil’s Tramping Ground

We guess we have to mention the Devil’s Tramping Ground in southwestern Chatham County, NC, since it’s probably the most famous supernatural site in the two Carolina states. But we don’t know why it’s so famous. Our deepest suspicion is that some Force for Evil or other has hired some hotshot RP firm to secretly promote this place, because the general reaction of most first-time visitors who find it is, “Hunh? You mean that’s it?” 

If you, like so many others insatiably curious folks, decide to trek on out there, here’s what you’ll see: a firepit surrounded by a forty-foot-diameter circle of barren, ashy soil. Beyond the circle of soil, which may or may not have some broken bottles or empty beer cans scattered about in it, are scrubby woods that certainly do have broken glass and beer cans scattered in them. But don’t expect to see much else, and if you go there and find yourself a little let down, remember, we warned you. 

Of course there’s a legend, which is the reason people go. About 150 years ago, someone realized that anything left within the circle before dark will be gone by the next morning. The devil, they say, likes to drop by this particular spot at  night to wander around in a circle while dreaming  up new ways to tempt and trouble us mortals. Whenever he finds anything annoying in his path, he gives it a swift kick. Supposedly, people have tested this on numerous occasions, heaping so much stuff in the circle that it looks like a garbage dump. By the next morning, all the items were gone-or at least launched into the surrounding woods. 

Hardheaded nonbelievers in Satan have tried to come up with other explanations for why this circle exists, or at least why it ever existed in the first place. Now it mainly exists, if truth be known, because people come here to tramp around it wondering why it exists. Some have claimed it was a Native American ceremonial ground, or that it is the burial site of Croatan, a great chief, whose name also happened to appear on the tree at the “Lost Colony” site on Roanoke Island. Others say salt lick was once maintained here, and over the years as cattle trampled around to get a lick at it, they compacted the earth and watered it with their unspeakable juices while the salt leached into the ground every time it rained. Those three things together rendered the spot relatively free of vegetation (though a little tough grass pokes up here and there) and more or less permanently circular. If these explanations don’t do it for you, you’re free to come up with your own.

Whatever it is, it’s weird. Weird that a circle formed somehow, weird that people began coming to see it, and weird that it is still there after all this time. 

To find it for yourself, head six miles south from Siler City, NC, on Highway 421, then turn west on Highway 902 to Harper’s Crossroads. From here, go northwest on Devil’s Tramping Ground Road (NC SR 1100). After abotu two miles, you’ll cross an old railroad grade and see a plane on the left (west) side of the road where other cars have pulled off. There’s no sign or marker. Watch out for broken glass. If you step on any, avoid blaspheming, because someone may think you wish to avail yourself to the Evil One’s services.
