So I am not really sure if anyone looks at this much anymore but I wanted to see if anyone would be interested anyways.
I have just recently read a retelling of one of my favorite fairy tales: Beauty and the Beast. It has been festering in my mind to do a role play based of this concept. The book i read was called 'Cruel Beauty' while it was a little odd at times and the ending left me puzzled the aspect of the characters had me super excited.
Would anyone be interested in doing a darker Beauty and the Beast? It could be rated M or more or whatever you wanted I just want to try and write something new while I wait for other role plays I am in.
Thanks for reading if you want to know more just ask~

Just curious on how you would want to make this 'darker'? I'm not big on fairy tales, but I can get behind something like beauty and the beast. Especially if we are adjusting it.

Well I haven't a concrete idea but in the book I read the Demon Lord (aka the 'beast') was a Demon of deals. He lived in another relem that was just outside the world of the humans. He sent these little demons onto the world that if you stared at the shadows to long that your soul would be practically ripped from your body and you would be nothing but a corpse that first goes crazy then dies. In order to break the world from this Demon Lord they have to sacrifice a 'hero' (aka the Beauty) to the Demon Lord who takes her as a wife.
One more thing I should mention is that the Demon Lord takes requests, to put delicately. This is the reason why the world has become his realm. People come to him for help--be it 'my wife can't have child please allow her to become pregnant' to 'I love this girl, kill her abusive husband so that we may be together forever.' And he grants them--but for a price. (Like Rumpelstiltskin I suppose) Most o the time its nothing much but it never works the way he wants it to work. The one with the children looses his wife in child birth. He grants the children but the wife dies as payment. The abusive husband to dies but later in life the women goes blind and dies as well.
Anyways, the Beauty would be the wife of this monster and looking for a way to kill him but what she doesnt realize is that she falls in love with him. But that could happen much later and all that. He's a greedy bastard more then likely.
Hopefully my rambling makes sense...I apologize if this is rubbish and will take my leave and hide under a rock. xD;

So, basically, the beast is the devil. People make deals with the devil but as he is the devil things never work out well. (Have you ever watched the movie Bedazzled? I'm thinking like that.) Sounds interesting enough.
So would the roleplay start when they are already married to each other? Or would it start when the people are deciding to 'sacrifice' her? Would you be beauty or the beast? I don't want to assume which part you would rather be or not be, haha.

In simple way of putting it yes, I suppose he could be a form of the devil. (I haven't is it good?)
Well, I personally like starting with the choosing of the sacrifice, then it would quickly move to the 'Beauty' being moved to be with her new husband. To be honest I would like to be the Beauty but that's because in a few other role plays that I am in I am males and I miss being a female xD

Haha, yeah bedazzled is pretty funny. Elizabeth Hurley is the devil and Brendan Fraiser is the one making deals with her to win over this girl he likes. But each "wish" ends terribly.
Haha alright, I was wanting to be the "beast" anyhow, but like I said I didn't want to just assume you'd be ok with being beauty. It is your idea after all. So should we make characters? What kind of format should we follow?

Haha sounds like something that would be kind of interesting xD Woo! That means it all works out in our favors then. I get to be who I want and you can be who you want It may be my idea but I am going to need more then just my brain to really bring it alive Brainstorming and such is a fun part of it right? For the chracters we could follow a pretty simple one maybe something like: Name: Age: Gender: Height: Weight: Skin/Blemishes: Hair: Eyes: Clothing: Accessories: Personality: Short Bio: Likes: Dislikes: Quirks: Etc: Don't know if that sounds alright, perhaps we could also add a picture if you wanted.

Alright, cool. I'm working on mine now. I think I will add a picture, I have the perfect reference art I want to use. It's an art picture and not a photograph though, I hope that's okay.

Ok so for his age and bio I'm gonna go with the whole demon thing versus legit beauty and the beast thing, if that's alright? Like in beauty and the beast it's a regular human that gets turned into a beast like creature, but instead, my character is a demon and was never human. So his age and bio will reflect that, is that okay?

Picture sounds great to me I don't mind pictures besides real people x3 The demon thing sounds great too totally don't mind if he was a demon the whole time and not human at all. I gotta start on mine here soon. Dumb work.

Haha, don't stress too much about it. I've still only gotten about half of my character finished because I got busy suddenly. I should have some time to work on it tomorrow, hopefully, if all goes well. So, I should be able to work on it more then.

Sorry I took so long to respond D: I just noticed that I didn't actually send what I wrote (curse my phone!)
How is everything going? I haven't had as much free time as of late and it may stay like that thanks to work being hectic...But I am trying my best!

It alright, I've actually hadn't had as much free time as I was hoping for either. Damn my Japanese nature to put work first. I still have only about half a profile with notes on what I want to make his personality. If I can find the time to actually put that into paragraphs then he will finally be complete.

I've finally managed to finish this, so I've messaged it to you. I hope it's alright. It feels a little rushed on my part, but I sort of lost my train of thought for this character.
I'm still very much interested in doing this though, I hope you are too even though we both seem to be quite busy.
