Sodiums' charas' backstory makes me wonder how the one actually becomes a decendent. It couldn't be a blood liniage because then that would contraict some of the characters bios. Haha, I suppose it'll be in the story so I better not prode.

@Sodium It does sound a little bit too convenient, but we're in a Roleplay about Magical Pretty Boys fighting off people's demons, so I don't think that's an issue! I'm fine with those changes and I do apologise for having to be so nitpicky about the background. I do still want you guys to have a level of creative influence in this world.
@Achronum I've read over the changes and they all look fine!
@Pudding Yes, I unfortunately do need to keep some secrets. Though I did just tell Sodium that the selection was random.
Unless I was... lying :3c

@Sodium
Would this particular power function well in this RP? From the first and second OOC post it seems like the Cosmic Princes predominantly fight at night. I might be wrong, but @Leslie Hall could you confirm?
Solar Beam: Ivan's signature Magical Boy finisher attack. Ivan uses magical light to create multiple foci (AKA lenses) that magnify natural light into a single deadly beam. This laser cannot be formed on naturally cloudy days, though magical clouds and darkness have no effect.

@banjoanjo That is a good point, and I do apologise for my wording of that. I mostly used the phrase to imply that they fight behind the scenes of everyday normal life. Cosmic Princes can still fight during the day!

@Leslie Hall Revised CS, ready for approval.
Character Name: Ivan Dorovich
Title: Prince of the Sun
Character Age: 15
Character Gender: Male
Nationality: Russian
Appearance (and theme):
When not transformed, he dresses in an average suit with a hat and his hair is shorter.
Personality: Ivan wants nothing more than glory. He packs his actions with flair and flamboyance, aiming to outshine even the sun. Anyone who has met him would summarize him with the word "showy". However, Ivan doesn't want this glory for himself - instead, he attributes all his glory to his homeland, the great Mother Russia.
Faction: Sun Prince
Magical Weapon: Ivan wields a brilliant bow that shoots arrows made of magical light. This light bursts upon impact, resulting in a firework-style effect and fire- or light-based magic damage in addition to the explosive physical blast.
Magical Abilities:
Light Trickery: Ivan can manipulate light to produce illusions, illuminate dark areas, or even remove light from an area. The effect is reduced the further out of sight the target is, similar to the way light can shine around corners at a reduced vibrance.
Noble Steed: Ivan's trusty dog Makar transforms with him, becoming a mammoth covered in glorious golden armor. Makar is capable of providing Ivan with a mighty solar lance should the situation necessitate it; otherwise, he attacks with his golden tusks.
Solar Beam: Ivan's signature Magical Boy finisher attack. Ivan uses magical light to create multiple foci (AKA lenses) that magnify natural light into a single deadly beam. This laser cannot be formed on naturally cloudy days, though magical clouds and darkness have no effect.
Strengths: Ivan is best when fighting at range, on Makar's back or not. He is also incredibly nimble, even for a Prince - after all, it was his agility that earned his status as a Prince.
Weaknesses: Ivan's power significantly falls when forced into a close-range battle, or when an ally is too close to the target to avoid friendly fire. Despite having training in the use of Makar's solar lance, Ivan remains fairly unskilled with it in combat. Ivan also falls behind the other princes in brute strength.
Biography: Thousands of years ago, the Cosmic Princes were founded. Using both his power and his personal charisma, The Prince of the Sun worked to found Russia. By way of actions probably too graphic to describe on this public forum, The Prince of the Sun ended up being a part of the family tree of all true Russians. Thus, the legend of the Prince of the Sun became known to all Russians.
The Prince of the Sun, wanting to have a strong successor, laid out plans for a tournament to determine prospective successors. Participants would be tested in many areas deemed important to The Prince of the Sun's fighting style to make sure that the most likely to be his reincarnation would be chosen. The top contestants would then be given intense training out of the world's sight, preparing them for their fight against the hidden evils of the world.
So it was for thousands of years that The Prince of the Sun was trained in secret by the Russian people. Whether by design or by sheer happenstance, The Prince of the Sun always reincarnated as a Russian boy. In the present day, school P.E. incorporates training for the tournament into the basic curriculum, regardless of whether the position is open. The government keeps the real meaning behind the tournament under wraps, but it has become so ingrained into culture that none think to question it. You wouldn't question drying your hands after washing them, after all.
Ivan enters the story in the present day, two years after the demise of the previous Prince of the Sun. Ivan performed well in all the tournament events due to his outstanding agility, landing him among the top contestants and earning him long and rigorous training. Ivan gained his powers toward the end of training, at which point he swore to glorify Russia in all his acts as Prince of the Sun.
Presently, Ivan is in Japan investigating reports of Chaos Witch activity that had begun affecting the eastern cities of Russia.

Hope I'm not too late to join this party. My character has a bit more of a unique ability. I hope he isn't op for this setting, if so please let me know.
Character Name: William "Billy" Bianchi
Title: Prince of Dragons
Character Age: 17
Character Gender: Male
Nationality: Italian American
Appearance:
Personality: William on the surface is a quiet, calm, and collective individual. With anti-social tendencies alongside a quiet, passive-aggressive and sarcastic persona. He prefers to be by himself then to seek out company, though isn't outright against such an idea, it is difficult for him to actually consider someone a friend. Easily annoyed by other individuals its hard for him to even tolerate the annoyances of others. Beneath this demeanor though, is an angry and raging beast, which is expressed accurately in his transformation. Surprisingly, he enjoys the concept of fighting, seeing it fit that as a Prince he 'hunts the shadows' like an apex predator, a mentality that seems to blur the lines between a fervent warrior and a savage monster, William's inner demons are perhaps just as monstrous as the shadows he fights.
Faction: Sun Prince
Magical Weapon: His enchanting spear he nicknamed wyrmtooth, is a less destructive method of offensive. Favoring more nimble, accurate, and focused tactics, his combat with this enchanted weapon is to switch between using it like a martial-arts pole, and a sword-like spear consistently. Should be noted that he cannot wield this weapon in his full transformation.
Magical Abilities: Dracomancy, as he calls it, the evocation of dragons. he can temporary transform various parts of his body to become more attune with such a monster, such as growing a reptilian tail or pair of wings. As a static trait he cannot be burned by any degree of heat (though explosive forces and other non-heat related damage from fire attacks are still effective against him).
Strengths: While he is just as quick and nimble in his non dragon state as any other prince, his strength can be boosted to a far higher level. The variety of his full and sub-form as well as its options can allow a versatile strategy against both monstrous foes and more nimble enemies alike. Being unable to burn it is a bit more difficult for heat-based users to fight him.
Weaknesses: He is vulnerable to ice and other cold-based attacks. Additionally he is very prideful and can often make mistakes based on poor judgement, whether it be underestimating an opponent or overestimating his own abilities. Despite his versatile combat he overall is very reckless, which can also lead to punishment in combat should he fail a committed attack. Furthermore he definitely isn't a team player. He prefers to fight on a sort of duel basis and would rather sit out of a fight then fight alongside someone else.
Biography: Growing up in South Philly as a highschooler, despite is anti social nature he was a part of the 'popular' crowd, namely with a group of bullies that would go around and do the typical verbal and sometimes physical abuse, pranks, and other mischievous acts juvenile delinquents do. While he wasn't the most expressive of bullying, exposure to this by his friends are likely in part to where he gets his rather violent nature from. Often at times he would be the 'cool rebellious' type smoking a cigarette to impress the cheer leaders and having the typical teenage angst and fake mysterious persona that helped him stay within the popular crowd. Though he acts like a tough kid, and will certainly join in on antagonizing other students, he wasn't proud of his actions. Even now, he has some regrets, like punching a small ginger's nose till he broke it. In a way, he sees his powers and responsibility as sort of 'retribution' for those that he hurt. As such, he has somewhat of a zeal to his cause of slaying witches and shadows.

As a static trait he cannot be burned by any degree of heat (though explosive forces and other non-heat related damage from fire attacks are still effective against him).
-Growing a pair of wings, grants flight.
-Growing iron-like reptilian scales over his skin, granting an incredible physical durability and overall strength/weight though hinders his mobility somewhat.
-Transforming his hands and/or feet into claws, granting both incredible strength and sharp utility aside from his weapon.
-Transforming his hand into the head of a fire-breathing dragon, which in addition to having a nasty bite can breath either a jet of intense flames or a ball of explosive fire.
His full on transformation makes him into a dragon. This grants him an iron-like durability (except for the soft underbelly), being able to breathe flames or cause flames to flow from his scales, flight, immense strength though he isn't as fast and essentially becomes a bigger target, not ideal for smaller, more nimble threats. It is a form more suited to fight other monsters and otherwise less agile targets.

@dragonmancer You're not too late!~
The Dragon Prince is accepted, though I'm a little wary of the power spike the full dragon transformation will give him. As long as you roleplay it fairly then I'm sure there'll be no issues.
Also the IC will come out sometime tonight before I go to bed. I was going to do it on Sunday but I've made plans to hang with my bud this weekend so I won't be home. I'll be finishing up my Prince as well. I suppose I should change him to a Moon Prince to even things out.
This Roleplay will remain open until the end of Chapter 1. That's my cut off point. So if you think you know anyone else that might want to join, nows the time to tell them because Chapter 1 will not be very long.

please say I'm not to late?
Nationality:
New Zealander
Appearance:
Asher is practically the embodiment of the 'tall, dark, and silent' trope. Or he would be, if he wasn't barely reaching average in the hight department, and his hair wasn't a mop of bright red messy fluff, complemented by his pale skin and sharp forrest eyes. His typical wardrobe consists of a collection of fairly simple clothes; block coloured shirts, dark pants, plain jackets or hoodies, and scuffed-up second-hand military boots.
transformed he has ginger-orange hair falling to his shoulders, large pale green eyes that dominate his face, a small nose and a perpetually pouting mouth. His outfit is made up of a long white coat with gold trim and a high collar, a dark shirt that doesn't cover his stomach much to his disgust, black formal pants, and tall multi buckled boots. (That he is so glad he doesn't have to physically pull on and off)
Personality:
Asher won't start or join a conversation unless it's too good a topic to pass up, or someone invites him, as he's always worried that the other person is only listening and replying to be polite. It's never really occurred to him that there could be people who genuinely want to talk to him, even perhaps listen to what he has to say. Despite this fact Asher actually enjoys a good discussion, and will fully engage in conversations; animating his words with vivid hand gestures and expressions.
While he will be perfectly polite to classmates, strangers, and acquaintances (which is all classmates really are), Asher will slowly become more warm and cheerful towards you if you get to know him. His loyalty, once earned, is not something to scoff at, for the fierceness and dedication with which he will defend those lucky few he considers his friends could rival that of a mother protecting her children.
Quite fanciful, he has an amazingly vivid imagination, although he's also a bit naive as well, and like to think the best of people. Asher is capable of selling a complete baldfaced lie to almost anyone, but only when his conscience lets him; he feels that just because he can lie convincingly doesn't mean he should. It also means that when he does actually lie it is convincing as he isn't know for lying.
When it comes down to it he has a stubborn streak a mile wide, and a habit of digging his heels in and refusing to budge.
For him fighting shadows is less about protecting the world, and more about keeping his few safe, and he will destroy every last Shadow single handedly if thats what it takes.
Although he doesn't have quite enough Hubris to make him think he can eradicate Shadows alone, (it hasn't happened in any of the previous generations, why would that change now?) and so he doesn't see the point in all the infighting between Princes, they're all working towards the same goal, right?
Magical Weapon:
A scythe. sorry. A magic scythe. (duh.) Asher's scythe, (which is a terrible, clichéd weapon thanks) stands taller than him, with a curved arm length blade. It doesn't feel heavy to Ash, but any strike or swing will still have the full force and weight of a six foot tall metal scythe behind it. (which is REALLY off-putting when learning to fight with the thing!)
An alternate form is a pair of mini scythe-like knives, with blades about the size of a machete, that can be wielded together, or completely separate. (They aren't any good for throwing though, far to likely to become a disastrous boomerang.) the two short sickles have a locking mechanism on the base of their handle letting them be interlocked and turned into a wicked double bladed……… thing.
Magical Abilities:
Pure luck. (Which isn't really an ability.)
Asher is extraordinarily lucky, which sounds like a good thing.
Except. He might have more luck than anyone ever, but it's not all good luck.
For him things either go amazingly right, or disastrously wrong, often in sets.
He can however call on that luck to tilt things in his favor, whether it be the roll of a die or avoiding/delivering a fatal blow in battle. He's also able to give others luck, good or bad, but calling on luck always results in a string of bad luck for himself afterwards.
Illusions & Dopplegangers
Asher can create a doppleganger of himself, a perfect, if slightly faded physical representation that can take his place. He capable of creating one that can interact with the world around it, and three that are merely impressive illusions.
The illusions cannot interact with reality, they look real, but there is nothing there. They can serve as a good distraction or confusion. Asher can also 'borrow' their senses to explore or scout out a place, helpful if he thinks he's gonna walk into a trap. The illusions on their own have only a slight drain of power, and he can currently hold a single illusion for five minutes tops, less for each illusion he adds, although his total limit of illusions is currently three.
The doppleganger is capable of simple tasks; attack her, defend him, protect us, carry this, and while it may have a few ways of going about theses missions; sneak attack from behind or a straight charge attack, anything complex is more than it's capable of. In a time of crisis, or impending doom, Asher can switch out with his doppleganger. He's not quite sure if it works like teliportation, or if it's just the soul and memories that get transferred, but either way he ends up where the doppleganger had been, and it takes his place. This particular piece of magic however, is rather costly, as he has to already have the doppleganger in play, and the expended magic is fairly large.
If anyone tries to interact with any of the illusions they will be dispelled, same thing for the doppleganger if it gets 'killed'
A dispelled illusion/doppleganger cannot be re-summoned the same night.
Strengths:
Multitasking, close combat,
Weaknesses:
anything long ranged,
Biography:
How on Earth did he end up here? Ok, that was a rhetorical question, albeit one he keeps asking himself. Asher knows exactly how he ended up here, although he's not quite sure what he did to deserve any of this.
Asher had a normal life as the middle child of three. He and his sisters were close in that fighting one minute, laughing the next that only siblings seem to have. School was boring, but Asher had a small handful of close friends that made sitting through class and doodling worth it.
It was a surprise when his lovely, if mediocre, life was tipped upside down when his mother shipped him and his older sister off to live with their father in Tanzaku City, citing that they 'weren't her problem anymore'.
Their father was nice, but nearly never home, leaving Asher and Liz practically stranded in a foreign country, where they know maybe six words to speak and have even less of an ability for reading.
He knows for a fact that the two of them were considered rude freaks and weirdos at the first school they attended; armed as they were with only a crash course, and a few dozen internet searches, on Japanese language and culture.
They lasted almost a term before being transferred. Asher's approach this time was to keep his head down, avoid attention, and just work his way through school, not that he talked much anyway, but people barely glance at the quiet kid at the back of the class, let alone pay them full attention. He joined the art club thanks to a classmate who got a look at one of his sketches, and he's still not sure how he ended up part of the theater club, or how it relates to his plan of surviving school unnoticed.
It was shortly before they transferred schools that a Shadow started plaguing Liz, fueling and feeding off her negative emotions. Asher could glimpse only the faintest impression of it, but had no idea of what it was, or if there was anything he could do about it. He wasn't there when it was eradicated, so he doesn't know who destroyed the Shadow, but when he found out he was someone who could do the same, he jumped at the chance. He still has very little clue about being a Cosmic Prince, as they are apparently called, but he is trying his best. Even if he is so not impressed his alternate form, (who even wears clothes like that?) or his weapon. (Honestly do you know how hard it is to fight with a scythe?!)

Illusions & Dopplegangers
Asher can create a doppleganger of himself, a perfect, if slightly faded physical representation that can take his place. He capable of creating one that can interact with the world around it, and three that are merely impressive illusions.
The illusions cannot interact with reality, they look real, but there is nothing there. They can serve as a good distraction or confusion. Asher can also 'borrow' their senses to explore or scout out a place, helpful if he thinks he's gonna walk into a trap. The illusions on their own have only a slight drain of power, and he can currently hold a single illusion for five minutes tops, less for each illusion he adds, although his total limit of illusions is currently three.
The doppleganger is capable of simple tasks; attack her, defend him, protect us, carry this, and while it may have a few ways of going about theses missions; sneak attack from behind or a straight charge attack, anything complex is more than it's capable of. In a time of crisis, or impending doom, Asher can switch out with his doppleganger. He's not quite sure if it works like teliportation, or if it's just the soul and memories that get transferred, but either way he ends up where the doppleganger had been, and it takes his place. This particular piece of magic however, is rather costly, as he has to already have the doppleganger in play, and the expended magic is fairly large.
If anyone tries to interact with any of the illusions they will be dispelled, same thing for the doppleganger if it gets 'killed'
A dispelled illusion/doppleganger cannot be re-summoned the same night.
Strengths:
Multitasking, close combat,
Weaknesses:
anything long ranged,
Biography:
How on Earth did he end up here? Ok, that was a rhetorical question, albeit one he keeps asking himself. Asher knows exactly how he ended up here, although he's not quite sure what he did to deserve any of this.
Asher had a normal life as the middle child of three. He and his sisters were close in that fighting one minute, laughing the next that only siblings seem to have. School was boring, but Asher had a small handful of close friends that made sitting through class and doodling worth it.
It was a surprise when his lovely, if mediocre, life was tipped upside down when his mother shipped him and his older sister off to live with their father in Tanzaku City, citing that they 'weren't her problem anymore'.
Their father was nice, but nearly never home, leaving Asher and Liz practically stranded in a foreign country, where they know maybe six words to speak and have even less of an ability for reading.
He knows for a fact that the two of them were considered rude freaks and weirdos at the first school they attended; armed as they were with only a crash course, and a few dozen internet searches, on Japanese language and culture.
They lasted almost a term before being transferred. Asher's approach this time was to keep his head down, avoid attention, and just work his way through school, not that he talked much anyway, but people barely glance at the quiet kid at the back of the class, let alone pay them full attention. He joined the art club thanks to a classmate who got a look at one of his sketches, and he's still not sure how he ended up part of the theater club, or how it relates to his plan of surviving school unnoticed.
It was shortly before they transferred schools that a Shadow started plaguing Liz, fueling and feeding off her negative emotions. Asher could glimpse only the faintest impression of it, but had no idea of what it was, or if there was anything he could do about it. He wasn't there when it was eradicated, so he doesn't know who destroyed the Shadow, but when he found out he was someone who could do the same, he jumped at the chance. He still has very little clue about being a Cosmic Prince, as they are apparently called, but he is trying his best. Even if he is so not impressed his alternate form, (who even wears clothes like that?) or his weapon. (Honestly do you know how hard it is to fight with a scythe?!)

Just in case it looks like I'm doing sketchy editing things with my CS every so often (which I am), I will always ask you before making any major changes. Any other edits are just things like my colons not being bolded and colored, not enough meaningful blank space between chunks of text, putting down comma rebellions with extreme prejudice, etc.

@SilverWolfAngel Not at all! Great job on your character, he's accepted!
EDIT: Oh, but the same for the dragon guy, I will have to monitor how fairly you use probability manipulation. I've got nothing against the ability, but it can be easily abused.
With that, I can keep Kim as a Sun Prince!

Minor set back, I am going to see my Aunt tonight. Will be back in a few hours to finish off my sheet and the IC!
I'm quite excited to get this started!
Btw this Rp will be starting at the start of the school year. Not at the beginning, but only a few weeks in.
I've uh... forgotten exactly when the Japanese school year starts. I'll look that up later.

The Japanese school year begins in April. The first term runs to around July 20, when summer vacation begins. Kids return to school in early September for the second term, which lasts until about December 25. The final term begins in early January and continues to late March.
Place a few festivals here and there and insert the seasonal holidays and bam.

@Pudding Thank you for the refresher! That school year seems weird to me, but I suppose it's a cultural thing. I think it's just the whole school year starting and then a semester later them being like "Alright summer vacation see you in a few months nerds".
So that's what we're working with. Our Rp starts around the end of April. I'm not gonna get too specific with dates.

I was thinking through potential (correct) uses of Lucas's abilities and realized he's the shittiest crowd-controller ever if his allies can't capitalize on the advantage since they'd be affected by the CCs, too.
I have his magic skill set tailored to require a lot of consideration in play (something Lucas sucks at) since some spells can't be cast simultaneously and some spells can only be in one form at a time.
In this vein, would you mind if I added that Lucas can choose which spells affect which targets? It adds another layer to that "consideration" thing that Lucas is not very good at, haha.
That said, if magic doesn't work like that in this world, I don't mind.

I added an emotional theme song because I was jealous of the fact that Kim has all the perfect songs he needs for a full fledged anime.
