Once, many years ago, there was a star. Yes, just one. For a while, it was the only star in the heavens, beloved and adored by all who see it. The star belonged to a grand witch, one who had great and mysterious powers. It has only been one week since the star appeared in the sky, and since the child the village once loved and kept safe became the witch it feared and repelled. How she became a witch, the village does not know. She cared for the star, for it was as unique as herself. One day, however, the star disappeared. The world below, which had admired the star for the few days it had been present, searched frantically to recover it. Why? If not for its beauty, than certainly for its magic.
It is known that whoever touches The Star, as it came to be known, shall receive a gift. A gift of their deepest desires. The witch, after all, was feeling a bit vengeful after being shunned and nearly killed by the village below. She, knowing the stars ability, sent it down to Alaby, in an attempt to send the village into chaos and death. To add a bit of fun, she cursed the village, and the people became ill. The star heard the anguish below, and granted a cure amongst the people. Droplets were born, granting those who found them temporary health, for as long as 48 hours.
Our story begins a few days before then.
Take your place as the hero of your own story. Would you wish for fame? Glory? Money? Health? Looks? What should you wish for? Not only must you keep yourself alive in a harsh environment that depends on the power of Droplets to survive, but you must also beware the witch, For she is also searching for the star! After sending it down, she noticed that she, too, fell ill to the curse that she laid on the planet, but only when she isn't near the star. Defend yourself from the Witch, other players, harsh environments, and even wild creatures! Be prepared to come up with some battle skills.

This RP takes place in a Renaissance-Era Village known as Alaby [Al-ah-bee], which is quite run down, to say the least. We begin the RP the day before the night of the Starfall. Poor folk take up most of the population, but only poor in the minds of the rich. The downtrodden town lights up when the star becomes known among them, and the race begins to better their lives, one way or the other! You may also form alliances with other players, if you so wish. This RP was inspired by the Animaniacs movie "Wakko's Wish." Thanks to Aqua7KH and Hargle for giving me some suggestions!
-Droplets-
There are two kinds of Droplets to be found.
Blue Droplets
Blue Droplets are collected to keep the Villagers healthy and alive - without them, the villagers are sure to die in a matter of hours! Be sure to look out for these and collect as many as you can. You can collect a number of them and preserve them for later use. BUT BEWARE! You're not the only villager who needs Droplets to survive. Everyone does! So if you find a Droplet, be sure to nab it first! These droplets don't disappear. After you use its power, it stops glowing, and shrinks down for your convenience.
Now, Gold Droplets are EXTREMELY special. When collected, these Droplets are absorbed, and can temporarily empower your character! You may get visions of the past, or of the future. You may also receive temporary speed, improved jumping skills, heightened senses, etc. (The power up you get will be determined with a random generator.)
The village, poor as it is, manages to keep itself grounded, thanks to the many dedicated citizens. The Butcher, The Baker, and the Candlestick maker work vigorously to provide the town with some necessities, while later in the story, the Dropletteer will struggle to collect Droplets for you to purchase If you cannot find one on your own later.
Currency here is not one of orthodox nature; being called Tile. Value is determined by the symbol upon it. Rose Tile is held with the highest value, while Lily Tile followed at second. Daisy Tile had the least value, as it was the most common Tile passed around.
Feel free to journey anywhere in town- however, beware wolves and other wild animals that may wonder in, as a set of woods lie nearby. These woods are rarely entered, aside from a single road leading out- even so, no one takes the road, as danger may lie in any inch.
If you're worried about this RP being too fast for you, no worries needed! I promise that it'll be a good mixture of intensity and slow moments. While the main goal is make a wish, there will be random halts, so you can have fun moments.
