The city couldn't have a more perfect name; nestled in it's own little world, the lively city is surrounded by hallowing cliffs, forestry, and mountains that pierce the gloomy sky above. But despite being in the middle of no where, the city has everything it could possibly need or want. Like any inhabited world, it has those who are good - and those who are bad; those who uphold the law, and work on making the city a better place... and those who succumb to their every lust and desire, following nothing but habit and pleasure. This board is built around, and inspired by, Disney's infamous characters, from such films as Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, and many more. This world is a dark one, and while the characters and personal canon plots are based off of Disney's original conceptions... things are not completely the same. So if you are looking for some light, cheery roleplay, this is probably not the site for you.
All staff here, both creators and those who wish to help - are available to the players on AC as much as possible. Just remember that ultimately - we are here to HELP; we WANT you to succeed with your bios and your plots, because it keeps you happy... ergo, keeps the site active and buzzing with energy. So please do not hesitate to contact an admin, or other staff member, should you have any questions or concerns about your character. Most staff respond to pm's, but if the matter is of some importance, or requires a more in depth answer, a staff member might suggest you add them to a chat service; be it AIM, or MSN, or YIM... just so you can speak directly.
