Lately I have noticed people shying away from the group known as 'Sanctuary'. I asked why this was, and heard that many people find it not their cup of tea, as the group is not what you would call 'magical', etc.
Believe it or not, Sanctuary is probably one of the most versatile of all of the groups on AR. In Sanctuary, you may roleplay your typical high schools, slice of life, or have ANY roleplay that does indeed have fantasy, but the characters may not be quite aware of the existence of things such as magic and the supernatural. Here is the prime place for creatures hiding among humans, like vampires, fauna-like people, shapeshifters, humans with powers, etc.
Sanctuary lands can include RL places as well- New York City, Japan, England, etc. It can include modern, average, cities.
It doesn't stop with just that, however. Anything like science fiction is also permitted here, as that is technology, not magic. As a result, the Authorities might actually encourage this- genetic engineering, robots, cyborg characters. All would be good Authorities. Or perhaps experimentation with weapons or items that give powers might be used in the ranks of the Authorities- just not distributed to the public.
Loose fandoms that might be roleplayed here would be things like Traditional Warrior Cats, Star Wars, Doctor Who, RWBY, Danganronpa, Higurashi-style plots, Kagerou Project, and almost any anime slice of life.
Santuary is a tool for you guys to use to shape plots, so have fun with it! Want a magic-user to infiltrate the Authority Enforcer ranks? Go for it. Wish to play a half-cyborg character as an Authority Director? That would work!
Have fun, everyone! I hope this clears up some confusion! ^.^
