I'm not joining, but I just wanna say that Goldilocks could be turned into an amazing old hag/witch character. Just throwing ideas out there.

That's fine. With the number of people we have interested, I don't expect this to start any time soon.

So how loosely can the characters be based on the fairy tale? Since the princess already has kinda a back story, I wasn't really sure what to do with her fairy tale bases...

I think it depends on how much you want them to. I only really took one idea from my fairy tale (the shattered mirror). I think you're free to do with whatever you want except that the Princess has to be interested in saving her Raven-brothers.

^ what she said.
In my princess's bio, I've altered the original fairy tale quite a bit (softened it up a little, got rid of a character, etc)

Bianca Connaught Fairy Tale Basis: the kind daughter in Father Frost/the princess in The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was Age: 17 Appearance: Click here Special Skills: some ability to perform ice magic, but nothing on a grand scale Kingdom: Agrandar Bianca is the second (and youngest) child of the King of Agrandar. She has spent much of her life in the northern city of Aaro under the care of a governess to help protect her from the war, especially after the change in her brother Dylan's personality. She was baffled by her brother's change and the topic is one of stinging sorrow as she misses him greatly. She is a young, fun-loving girl with a kind heart, often engaged in an adventure of some sort. When she was ten, she and her friend Olivia, the daughter of a royal guard, were having a bit of winter fun outside Aaro, racing sleds along the hills of the countryside. When a snow storm began, Bianca became lost and decided to find her way again on foot; during her walk she came to the edge of a clearing where the snow seemed fresher than that she had already passed. Here she found a giant with white hair and fair skin standing in the middle of the clearing with his hands raised to the sky. She realized he was the one creating the snow storm and asked if he would teach her to do it as well. Startled by her sudden appearance, he became angry at her intrusion and turned to leave. Bianca, however, called after him, offering to make him some stew so to make up for intruding to which he wordlessly agreed. After sharing their dinner, the Winter Giant showed her how to design frost on trees and rocks and even to make a little snow fall. It wasn't long after this that Olivia found them and, terrified by the Winter Giant, began throwing rocks at him in an attempt to scare him away and 'save' her friend. The giant was infuriated and called on a cold wind to retaliate, breaking Olivia's leg before Bianca could calm him down and explain. Together, they splinted Olivia's leg and gave her some stew before heading back to Aaro. When she was fifteen, her father decreed that any man who could free the castle outside of Asgerdon of its monsters would have her hand in marriage, an idea that didn't please her too well. Many men tried the task, from the young and foolish to the elderly and lecherous, but none succeeded, all being killed by the spirits within the fortress. Eventually, Audas was able to complete the task and even free the treasures contained inside, winning a betrothal to the princess. Though they haven't known each other long, she admires his courage and sense of innocence. Before a wedding could be arranged, however, the capital once again became a dangerous place for the young princess and she was sent back to Aaro for safe-keeping.

Right! I think I've found my fairytale characters (not that anyone has probably ever heard this story but I pulled it from grimms fairytale so ha!). Now just to alter them to my wishes!
So I plan on 3.5 characters. My Raven Prince. Two females. And an incredibly intelligent bear companion. XD Bio forthcoming.
Also.... I'm thinking of doing something with one of my charries that might require a little bit of cooperation on Zabs and Amanda's part. Is there any chance the kingdom of Agrandar could also have a lost prince? He could be assumed dead {unrelated to the evil queen, I'm not picky about the circumstances at all}, and he could be older or younger than Dylan but he would have to have been missing several years (like 7 or so). I would appreciate it. <3

Name: Arianna Woodcroft Fairy tale basis: The Shoes that were danced to Pieces......Loosely....You'll see... www.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm133.htmlAge: 19 Appearance: i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn99/Punk--Teen/Anime/AnimeOdette.jpgKingdom: Ellaris Weapons/Skills, if any: She hate's using it, but since she learned about her brothers it has been necessary for her to strengthen her skills with her bow and arrow. Though she never uses it, she has inherited her mothers magical abilities. Bio: Arianna doesn't remember her brothers, because she hardly ever met them, she was very young when she believed them to be dead. Her mother has always been a very cruel woman, and Arianna is terrified of her. The Queen seems to treat Arianna with kindness, and in her own way, she thinks it is. However, she has always been very strict with Arianna teaching her that it is better to be feared than loved. Arianna was forbidden from leaving the castle, and was locked in her room at night. For a long time she would try and sleep in the dark castle, but eventually she learned different ways to escape her prison at night. This is where she found her love of dancing. Her mother never approved of her "throwing her life away, with frilly nonsense," but Arianna loved it. So in the dead of night, when the castle was asleep, she would sneak out and dance till she could no longer, to music she sang. Then she would return home, afraid of what her mother would do if she never showed back up. Sometimes she thinks her mother knows what she is up to, and is afraid of what might happen, but she can't manage she stay in the castle anymore than a day. Sometimes her mother will bring people from outside of the castle to make sure that she stays in her room, but Arianna has become good at giving them a sleeping potion, so they do not find out where she is going. She has no idea that her mother 'disposes' of the men who cannot tell her where Arianna is going at night. Her mother fears that she is running off to meet with new people, and she might learn the truth of her brothers. Recently Arianna, was on her normal escape route to get out to dance, but on her way out there was an unexpected guard. He caught a glimpse of her, so she ran. Shortly, she found herself in a corridor that she had never been in before. As she wandered, the adventurous side in her kicking in, she came across the dungeon where her brothers were kept. At first she did not know who they were, but one of them quickly explained to her what was going on. She wanted to set them free, but as she tried, she heard footsteps. Her brothers told her to run, and to tell only someone she truly trusted about them, from fear of the Queens reactions. It was hard for Arianna to leave them, her heart breaking for their sorrow, and pain from being locked away for so long. The next night she tried as hard as she could to find the dungeon again, but it was like it had been moved. Recently, her time for dancing, has been put on hold, and she finds herself roaming the castle quietly trying to find her brothers. Sometimes, she is tempted to run away, and find someone powerful enough to help her.

Great bios, guys! I'll be working a long time tomorrow, but I'll try and get an RP thread going soon, possibly along with a profile for the evil queen.
