Sometimes the world you create on the page seems more friendly and alive than the world you actually live in.
Since the dawn of time, storytellers have enchanted audiences with their words. But there is an even rarer gift. There are those who, by reading out loud, can bring characters to life. Out of books and into our world. Most of these people prefer to keep their skills a secret but some do not even know this gift is theirs, until it is too late.
You know how your story begins, do you know how it ends?
Have you ever invested weeks, months, or perhaps years into character development only for a game to suddenly lose interest? For things to go awry and you choose to part ways? Are you sitting in a game that you've lost interest in simply because you don't wish to lose all that character development?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then Spinning Compass is for you!
We at Spinning Compass allow character development from any game. From Insane Journal? Approved! From Live Journal? Approved! From Dreamwidth? Approved! It doesn't matter what journal format they come from, your character will be approved!
We also accept Original Characters, and any canon fandom characters.
Character approval pending application acceptability.
Books are adventure! They contain murder and mayhem and passion. They love anyone who opens them.

In the summer of 2014, vampires Sydney Brown, Andrew Lawrence, and Jesse Sanders were caught pilfering from a local blood bank in New Orleans. After being detained and interrogated by the police department, the authorities discovered their status as supernatural creatures and ultimately unveiled their secrecy to the press. The news spread like wildfire and for several years, carnage and riots transpired. While some were dedicated to easing the vampires (and other supernatural creatures like them) into mainstream lifestyle, most set out to remove them from the world entirely while their supernatural regimes watched in horror. Although for centuries these regimes agreed upon secrecy from the humans, they were forced to disclose themselves to the public in order for a prospect of peace. In 2016, after the majority of races had been revealed to the people, the President of the United States proposed a peace agreement committee. In hopes for conformity, all the regimes established the United Genus Commission (UGC) to pursue peace amongst the races.
They lived in relative peace until a leader of the fae, Astyrian Lancaster, passed away and his son, Lucian, took his place. A charismatic leader, Lucian gained power within his ranks easily and used it to cripple the human leaders into submission. His belief in supernatural superiority became a popular notion. Sets of unfair laws were put into place against the mortals as the supernatural forces gained more and more power. Humans were being enslaved and overhunted and have been withered into impoverished numbers. The supernaturals have made their superior mark on the world and now dominate. With a new world order in place, the face of the planet is not as it once was. Myths now walk out in the open. Old legends can own the cafe where you buy your coffee. And humanity doesn't stand a chance.
