Why did you come here...?
OVERVIEW
Welcome to Recollections: Who Is Eleanor Black?, another RP set in the supernatural horror/urban fantasy universe known as the Recollections universe. Set in a strange and unique universe where magic reflects the core of its humanity and its emotions, beliefs, and thoughts.

In Who Is Eleanor Black? the story revolves around a mysterious woman that has had a profound effect on so many people's lives. She saved some lives, changed others - she is a friend, a sister, a mother, a lover, and many, many other things. However, the only issue is that she doesn't exist. There's not a trace of her in any census or log, and if you ask someone about her they would have nary an idea of who she is. What she did gets attributed to other people, and just leaves the people that apparently know her feeling crazy!

This is a phenomenon as there are other people who know about Eleanor Black - all of them meeting over the internet - with each of them having a wildly different version of her in their heads. They figured that they can't all be crazy and settle to get to the bottom of this. One trait that each version of Eleanor Black has is that she grew up in (or some relation) a small swampy town known as Quintin, Louisiana raised by a rich family known as the Black Family. Organized by a woman named Jennifer Caspin, they all agree to meet in Quintin and get to the bottom of this mystery.
However, Quintin Lousiana is not a place that's welcoming to strangers, especially not the kind that snoops around. More importantly, the Black family and Quintin themselves harbor a terrifying secret that they will fight tooth and nail to protect. They will dive into the world of the supernatural as they learn that Eleanor is more than just a woman. And possibly something other than human. The story is inspired by Life is Strange, Dead by Daylight, Lakeview Cabin/Valley, Bakemonogatari, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. A fusion of genres, this RP will have themes of Urban-fantasy and horror (I call it Off-Urban fantasy) with a southern gothic aesthetic. One of the most important things for me would be having the right tone and vibe, which I think will be darker and spooky. The thematic will be the nature of identity and the effects one person can have on a person's life and if they would be the same if the person was different or absent. Above all else its thematic will be Connections, Emotions, and Memories.

Don't you know Eleanor Black is beyond saving?



"The boundaries of what you know have been altered."
____________________________________

"Open your mind, heart, body, and soul to the universe..."
____________________________________

Out there exists a threshold, an invisible line showing what's possible and impossible. Crossing that threshold is easy for certain people with a specific trait or predisposition, but sometimes, it's not something they do on their own. Sometimes, they get pushed across it, and when they get to the other side, they discover that nothing short of Magic is real.

The magic in this world is fueled by human emotion, beliefs, and personality, and individuals can gain magical abilities reflecting themselves. Many different types of these beings exist, but they are under one collective term: The Paranormal. The world of the Paranormal is the gateway to infinite possibilities, stories, and adventures, as it follows these people as they navigate this strange world.

The umbrella term for these abilities is known as Paranormal-Abilities; the most basic of these abilities is a theoretical opening of the "third eye." The Paranormal are the only ones that can perceive magical abilities in action, as those without them can only see the effects. The story's namesake ability is known as a Recollection, a flashback where the person experiencing it can see what happened during it as if they were there. All Paranormal-Beings are unconsciously drawn to each other and Paranormal situations, whether they like it or not. Or, the Paranormal will come to them, and it’s suspected that people with the potential to become Paranormal will be drawn to it as well.

With Recollections, a person can experience the memories and adventures of other people and gain information on events they weren't present at. It's hard to tell what triggers a Recollection, as some people may experience it in their sleep or when interacting with a certain person, place, or thing that is relevant to them or their goals. Those with a sufficient understanding of magic can show other people a Recollection.
However, each Paranormal being has a personal ability known as an Abstraction. An abstraction is an ability that is unique to them and is determined by the type of Paranormal being they are. No two abstractions are the same; one person can cast away their abstraction for another. Abstractions are linked to a person's soul and are impossible to nullify, or no abstraction exists that negates or removes another except for one specific case. Paranormal beings can only have one abstraction at a time, even if they appear to have several different abstractions - it simply sub-abilities under one larger abstraction. The Paranormal is innately protected from each other by an invisible barrier known as an Emotional-Field, which acts as a natural limiter preventing Paranormal beings from using their abstractions directly on each other. Every Paranormal-Being, except for some rare cases, possesses an Emotional-Field. For example, a pryomancer cannot boil someone’s blood, a telekinetic cannot tear someone’s heart out, and a mind controller cannot work on a Paranormal. Abstractions such as Telepathy and Healing are not typically restricted. An Emotional-Field can have its properties altered by certain abstractions, for example, Lessening magical damage, removing someone’s Emotional-Field, etc. Emotional-Fields inhibit all offensive (and certain Abstractions like mind control and stopping time) Abstractions; however, certain offensive abstractions can bypass it completely (these abstractions are rare, however). Individuals who do not have an Abstraction or Emotional-Field are known as Blind and cannot comprehend or interact with magic in any way. However, those who have been exposed to magic in the past will gain the ability to perceive magic known as One-Eye-Open. These individuals lack an Emotional-Field or an Abstraction and are as susceptible to magic as the Blind.

A small town in southwestern Lousiana a mere thirty-minute drive from Lafayette and not that far off from the Texas border. If you found the place then congratulations; you either got lost going to cooler places or have family that exist in Quintin. It is very difficult to find the origins of the town, but it's known that sometime after the Louisana purchase the town of Quintin acted as a slave town.

After the civil war was won in favor of the Union and slavery was abolished, the town's economy shifted towards mining the coal deposits that were located around the parish. To this day, it is still the primary source of the town's economy. The many families that reside in Quintin, Lousiana are families that have been there for generations - either descended from the freedmen, the plantation owners, or the rare people that moved into the town in hopes of building a quiet life. Many of the buildings have been there since the town was built and some of which are in desperate need of renovation.

The layout of Quintin is a bit odd; it's a small town that is flanked by swamps in all directions. A little nickname for Quintin is Swamptown. To get to and out of Quintin, you need to pass through the roads that have been paved through the swamps. The swamplands are extensive and full of all types of dangers... both mundane and supernatural. The swamps are also full of all sorts of mysteries that are just waiting to be solved. Out in the swamps are primary where most of the mines were located and many of them have been abandoned after exhausting their resources.
▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅
▅▅▅▅▅▅
One of the oldest and most powerful families is known as the Black Family. They descended from the earliest slave owners and when it seemed like the Confederate was going to lose the Civil War quickly jumped on the new bandwagon of mining and quickly grasped onto the growing mining industry.

In a few years, they owned all the mines and made themselves not only filthy-stinking rich but made themselves an important part of Quintin's politics. You can't go two feet without someone mentioning them, or someone that's in their pockets.

The Black family is massive with the current head of the family being the matriarch Mary-Louise Black, and it consists of her children with Marcus Luther-Kane Black, her siblings, and their children. Her brother, Levi Black, left town decades ago and Mary-Louise's father, Albert Black, died in a mysterious incident..

_______________________________________________
However, the town of Quintin is cursed... it is a hotspot of Paranormal activity - go out in the swamps and you'll find all sorts of things. Some locals will tell you the spirits of the vengeful slaves that died here still infest the place. While other locals will tell you that a vengeful slave cursed Quintin... either way, they'll tell you not to go out in the swamp at night and definitely not to drink the swamp water. As of late more strange occurrences have happened as portals have appeared to strange places, more Apparitions and Aberrants are being created, and something wandering around the town at night in a cloak. The locals know better than to mouth off, and more importantly not to trust strangers, so be careful who you go asking questions.

Especially about a certain somebody whose name starts with E.




If I was here, touching your face... what would you do? How would you feel?

Sybil.Harkness


34 | Sybil Angela Harkness | She/Her
"I love this town and I'm trying to help it... but Mary-Louise is a tumor on it."

Description:
The story of Sybil Harkness is a story you probably heard a thousand times before: a girl grew up in a small town and ventured out to the big city for school. Except she didn’t really care for city life as it was too hectic for her; so after Sybil graduated medical school after so long, she returned to Quintin and acted as the town’s doctor after the last one retired. Sybil is a tall African-American woman at 5’9 and is lanky due to working out and can’t see without her glasses - she keeps a peculiar ring on at all times. She’s a close friend of the Black Family and maintains a great relationship with them ad she’s the only doctor in town. However, her relationship with the Black Family has been strained and Sybil avoids the Black Family like the plague. It’s been rumored there’s an affair between her and Marcus Black.

Surprise character sheet

Now I think he’s cool but my issue is with his backstory… in your psychology you just start at the part where he joins the circus but you never explain why. or any of his backstory before then. You mention in his psychology that he accidentally killed his father as a kid but never go into detail about something important that.

Also are you on discord?

Gottcha, I did leave it too vague. Added more detail to the backstory and the changes are in white with the rest in gray. Hope that's better. I am on discord.
