Vertiline is a panfandom and OC Journal Roleplay where the characters (aka Called) are randomly transported to a magical country of artichokes, capybaras, and beans to fight monsters!
And no, you can't eat the artichoke pods.
Tropes in this roleplay include:
- Back from the Dead: The Called who die can be reborn. This doesn't work for the natives, unfortunately...
- Break the Cutie: Peter Parker has a break-down upon finding out that the creepy statues he smashed were people who got petrified by a cockatrice.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Maxine Gibson gets completely engulfed by a shadow creature in the forest, which then crushes her instantly. Though, she gets better.
- Giant Spider: Mezzaline a giant spider with some humanoid features and the ability to speak. While she's not aggressive towards the group, her thought processes can still be quite alien to the human characters.
- Law of Inverse Fertility: The Called can't get pregnant, though they are not aware of it within the story.
- Taken for Granite: The creepily realistic statues once encountered by the group were really native people converted to stone by a cockatrice, which caused much distress to The Called who thought that smashing them "just in case" would be the right thing to do.
