Welcome to Our Caravan!
It's the 18th century, and the witch hunt is at an all time high. Any and all magic users are burned, hung, or drowned. Upon seeing that the craft is being punished, Azga Vonderheist, a travelling 'magician,' has started a gypsy caravan full of magic users or beings of magic to hide and protect them from the world that despises them so. Travelling all throughout Europe and occasionally overseas, Azga and the Misfits work as an entertainment troupe; selling potions and magic books under the table. In the caravan, it is safe to exist. With so many witches and otherwise dead, the caravan is all anyone has.
The church is our enemy.
The clergy, righteous with their innocent-slaying Templars, are highly suspicious of the troupe and wish to investigate. Azga is aware of this, and moves the caravan constantly. There isn't much hope, however, and there's talk of a permanent overseas stay in the eastern countries. Time will tell if the Misfits can keep the secret, and keep us all safe from the gallows.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW
-This is black magic we're dealing with. Don't be afraid to get dark with it!
-This will not be 100% historically accurate, and almost be more anime-like. Nobody likes a history snob in an rp that's meant to be fun.
-Witches are humanoid beings of magic. If they run out of magic, they CAN die. Keep in mind that magic IS exhaustible.
-Magic must have a unique siphon to each witch; something such as Azga, whom obtains magic from applause, spending time in nature, etc. Do NOT make the sun, or the moon, your power source. It needs to be something specific and unique, because all witches are unique.
-I WILL CONSIDER... a magical being, if you don't want to be a witch. Do not overload me with them, however, as hiding a unicorn in a travelling caravan is kinda difficult.
-New addition, you can be apart of the clergy and on the hunt for witches! Be careful though! If you detect witches too easily I WILL call you out. Templar beware...
1. No godmods, no sues, no whining.
2. If you have a personal problem with anyone, take it to PMs.
3. POWER IS EXHAUSTIBLE. Think of it like a mana meter in final fantasy or any other video game.
4. If you read the rules put the word 'Glass' at the bottom of your CS.
5. I expect decent grammar. I'm not a teacher in school or whatever but if I. grammar read. this liKe. It's unacceptable.
6. A witch cannot be all around powerful in every single subject. There IS such a thing as general magic, but then your witch wouldn't be very powerful in any specific attack. If you want an ice witch you fucking rip that character, give her ice cannons, ice blasters, iced tea... you get the point.
7. Have fun :3

Drina has several scars on his back, small ones that seem as though made from fingernails. He also had a birthmark on the right side of his hip that looks like a burn. His hands are quite a mess as well, and are often covered in bandages considering they're more often burnt than they are healed.

Name: Leo
Title: Leo the Lion Tamer
Gender: Male
Age : 28
Country of Origin: Ukraine
Race: Witch
Siphon: The roar of lions
Magic: Can transform completely into any animal, or can transform certain parts of his body into animal body parts (such as turning his hands into lion claws or turning his legs into horse legs to run faster). Also, he can ask animals to do things for him by speaking their language.
Skills: Anything to do with animals
Personality:
+ Quiet
+ Observant
+ Reserved
+ Attentive
+ Mindful
Caravan Duties: Cleans animal's cages, feeds them, cares for them, etc. When shows come around, he has a lion tamer act. Basically, he sticks his head in their mouth, he has them jump through hoops, the works.

Glass
Appearance:
Clothing usually worn: As little as she can possibly afford to. During her performances, Sierra can be found with very skimpy clothing, typically a robe that reveals her back and a modest amount of cleavage. When she feels that she can afford to be less flashy, she dons many fancy dresses of several kinds that she's lugged around with her for a while.
Anything different from appearance than what is seen above: Sharp canine teeth, red eyes.
Name: Sierra Altrouise de Ramvere III
Title: Sierra of the Crimson Waltz
Gender: Female
Age: Around 27-30, she never says for sure.
Country of Origin: Born in Spain, but her lineage is mostly Dutch.
Race: Witch
Siphon: Blood. Specifically the blood of an unfaithful male.
Magic: Hypnotic suggestion. Sierra herself cannot command, or make anyone do something that they don't want to do against their will. However, what she CAN do is get inside their head, and plant little suggestions, ideas, seeds. The point is that the person they're planted into passes over the seed mentally, and has an idea they believe is theirs that she can have benefit her, them, or anyone around them. However, she cannot plant something completely out of character for that person, or the seed itself will die. She can't make an overly innocent little girl turn into a murderer. Most of the time, this does not work due to the mind purging the seeds, but on the occasions that it does indeed work, it's mostly for her own advantage.
Skills: Cooking some rather exquisite dishes
Rather good at convincing people to do things for her
Skilled in fencing
Personality: Flirtatious, loose, kind, two-faced, and cunning.
History: She rarely refers to it.
Caravan Duties: Sierra does her best to act as a sort of den-mother, trying her best to keep arguments and issues to a minimum. Dancing for the entertainment of others would be her main priority.
Theme song:
Loves: Azga, teasing people, reading, practicing her magic.
Likes: Performing, warm tea with a drop of honey, new clothes.
Dislikes: The sound of insects during silence, cold tea, people who are overly eager.
Hates: Pretentious people, people who can't take a compliment, intense heat.
Name: Pierre L'avous
Age: Late 20's
Gender: Male
Alignment: Wavering (neutral between the caravan and the clergy)
Personality: Bitter, Deceitful, Desperate to prove his worth
About: Works in the Caravan as treasurer and performs as a knife thrower. He is not a very skilled witch whatsoever and compared to the others his talents are laughable. He is supposed to be a Blade witch, a witch who's talents are focused on summoning knives, swords, and other bladed weapons or metal objects as well as levitation. Typically these witches are renowned to be the most graceful of all witches with how beautifully they can summon the blades and work them. Pierre, however, is extremely clumsy and possesses the grace of a duck whose right leg and wing are bound in duct tape. Unfortunately, this clumsiness and desire to prove himself is what caused him to lose an eye, on stage no less when attempting to show off in front of a crowd. He is a good knife thrower, seldom missing his mark, but despises his magic talents and wishes for a stronger magic, thinking that would be the answer to his problems. Born and raised in France.
Appearance: Her usual appearance, parasol and all.
Clothing usually worn: Her main outfit, probably the one you'll see her in off-stage.
Anything different from appearance than what is seen above: A cheeky drunk tattoo one night which really gives away her siphon...
Name: Takumi Nakahara
Title: Sakura (Cherry Blossom)
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Country of Origin: Japan, Gion
Race: Witch
Siphon: The smell of roses. (Rose incense could work, but rose perfume, soap, deoderant...they wouldn't suffice.)
Magic: Duplication - The ability to create copies of herself at will. The maximum number of clones present at any time is four, and they share feelings and biological processes (eg if one of them eats, they will all feel full) as well as injuries. They do not drain over time but instead the summoning and dismissal of each clone is a huge drain on energy, therefore it is not unlikely that you see perhaps 2 or 3 of her wandering around.
Skills: (ranging from knife throwing to cooking)
Personality: Proud, elegant, inquisitive, empathetic, hardworking.
History: Only a few facts have been disclosed to the members of the caravan - she was bonded to a Geisha House at 7 years of age, and escaped Japan at 15 for reasons unknown. She travelled as a musician until she located the caravan.
Caravan Duties: Performer (traditional japanese dances/music), Manual labour and Messenger, due to the fact there's almost always more than one of her around.
Loves: New clothes, new geisha make-up and people respecting/partaking in her traditional Japanese culture.
Likes: gifts of any kind, helping/entertaining people, tea, compliments devoid of romantic intent.
Dislikes: disregard of her culture, pushy/flirtatious people, sexism, partaking in romantic relationships.
Hates: sexual assault, sex in any form, capture/imprisonment.
Clothing usually worn: A white long sleeved dress shirt, tucked into a two strapped light grey dress. Adorns a Lilac tie and ribbon. She wears mostly long grey stockings with black ballet flat shoes.
Anything different from appearance than what is seen above:
She has two twin braids that come approximately to her hips. (Her hair is Silver)
She has tattoo of a bird on the back of he neck.
Name: Graziella Manucho
Title: The Graceful Grey Bird
Gender: Female
Age:21
Country of Origin: Motta, Sicily
Race: Magical Being, Elf
Siphon: Powerful Winds (Like, Oh, a storms a brewing wind)
Magic: Levitation. True to the trade, she can lift objects, including herself, with her mind. Although it can be very strenuous on her and she is still trying to keep it under control.
Skills: Graziella is incredibly acrobatic and flexible, she is also a fair cook and has a beautiful singing voice.
Personality: Free, Caring, Friendly, Calm.
History: Graziella was chased out of Italy for her magical origin. A man of Human decent was 'seduced' by a magical being, her mother was executed before her eyes at the age of twelve. Living in secret for years, her powers became extravagantly untamed. On a stormy day, blistering winds and pelting rain, her powers acted on their own, causing objects to fly, soar and crash. It was then that tragedy struck once more. A tree had become unrooted in the storm, crushing her father in a single blow. Accused of murder and witch craft she fled Italy to try and find a safe haven.
Her last words there were "No! Non colpevole!" (Not Guilty)
Caravan Duties: The House Maid, Singer.
Theme song:
Loves: Sweets, Large Plains, Calm Blue Skies
Likes: Helping others, Being Appreciated, Gymnastics
Dislikes: Rain, Some Animals, Bloodshed
Hates: Storms, Abandonment, Cruelty to others
THE CLERGY
Name: Ivan Rustelburg
Age: 50's
Gender: Male
Alignment:The Clergy
Personality: Traditionalist, Demonizing, Ominous
About: A priest of the travelling templars and crusaders. His words have send hundreds of men against innocents from his passion alone. Born in Russia and raised in England.
Clothing Usually Worn:
An all black attire with crimson lining consisting of his priest robes and boots. It is said that he has a hidden tattoo plastered on his back that not even his fellow priests know of. Said tattoo is actually nothing more than two large scars loosely resembling snake fangs. Furthermore, he has a small vial of blessed water hanging around his neck.
Name: Valek Von Gunther
Age: 37
Gender: Male
Weapon:
A set of stiletto knives, counting six in total, along with a silver long sword that he coats daily in holy water. He keeps his knife weaponry concealed in his cloak while the long sword lays safely in its sheath usually found slung on his back. Also carries around a small black bible for holy protection and divine guidance.
Skills:
Exceeds greatly in close combat. His skill with bladed weapons are mostly limited to his knives and swordplay. But with redundance comes familiarity, and he is as deadly and skilled using these two tools as any war axe or shield. As a priest, it is also required of him to be able to bless the innocent and damn the unholy to a rotting eternity of suffering. As far as religious duties go, he is most efficient in exorcisms.
Personality:
-Forbidding
-Stoic
-Intimidating
-Diligent
-Effective
-Fatalistic
History:
Valek's story began on the day his parents abandoned him and his younger sister to the wilds of the world to fend for themselves. No reason was given, now was one needed. Only empty stomachs and broken hearts. Taken in by the local town church men, it wasn't long before Valek found a new calling in his life. Something of which to give him purpose to his meaningless existence; to go forward and do the Lord's work. For a time, peace was present in the young boy's mind until one warm day in the fall.
An accident of sorts involving the town drunkard in which the intoxicated man inadvertently murdered his sister. Said incident involved the drunk man attempting a magic trick with his younger sister as the volunteer and a loaded musket; as expected, the display ended horribly due to a "miscalculation". The man was hung on the spot by the good citizens and the body of a little girl was buried behind the church.
Fueled by rage and haunted by grief, Valek would commit the rest of his life to hunting down and punishing the wicked for the sake of the innocent. Locking up his emotions, he eventually succeeded as a major priest and so traveled the country in doing God's work and hunting down the most vile of sinners: witches. Rumor has it that he is currently investigating and in pursuit of a certain caravan said to be filled with heretics and sinners alike.
