Good luck to you gents. I've watched for a while and I don't think my interest would last too long into the RP if I started doing stuff. Sorry.
1x Thank
OP
@ArenaSnow Thank you for the advices and help! I wish you luck in any undertakings/ RPs you take part in the future ^^
Got any room left? I just fell in love with the story but tell me how far can the stories concept of magic be pushed? I would like to give a character the abilities of a "magical black smith". Would something like that be too much for this plot?
OP
@CoughN Well at present yes the magical blacksmith would be too much. Magic at the current timeline of hte RP is not as well developed as it once was. But that aside yes, currently we are already pushing at hte maximum number I set at the begining >_<' sorry, but for now I just cannot accept anyone else.
That's fine. Let me know if a space opens up.

@Dark Light Nah it's fine ^^ just makes it all the more interesting when he has to rely on the 'evil' magic users and they too have to rely on him xD who knows they might even learn from each other that the church isn't always right and that not all churchmen are evil incranate? Also alchemy =/= than magic. Alchemy is actually usually very respectable occupition as alchemist make all hte healing potions !^_^

@rivaan yea but I get stuck right into my characters, so unless there's a really good reason for him not to smite the others when he finds out they are 'devil worshippers' and partly responsible for plunging the world into darkness and selfishly unbalancing nature for their own gain, he would probably then just refuse to travel with them.
A lifetime of beliefs that he has backed up with some pretty horrible actions won't just vanish over one conversation. I don't know what you have in mind plot wise but he's gonna need some pretty strong motivation to play nice if people are throwing magic about around him.
I mean it could be really fun if the mages wanna try hide it from him and cover it up, because he would be a useful ally, but it will take something drastic to change his mind.
Ahh I can imagine some intense scenes where he battles between his faith and his friends lives.

OP
@Dark Light actually the party is heading out into the unexplored tunnels each for his or her own reasons. For the most important part is why your character has to venture out. For example mine simply runs away from a witchhunt after killing a man in self defence. because the journey into the tunnels is a deathsentence anyway. Venturing out alone is just stupid. So if he's heading out for whatever reason, he still must be in a group to have any chance of survival. Be it mages or bandits or other people from the church.^_^

@rivaanI was planning to have my character be sort of "Scholar", but seeing as there's already two who dwell in knowledge and magic I'm turning towards a combat-orientated one if that's okay? To keep a 'balance' so to speak, no?

Childhood: Sala and Vala were born from an elf mother and a human father. Their mother was a traveling elf that for some reason had arrived in Belizalius. She was already pregnant with them when that happened and for a bad luck, she went into birth while at the human settlement. The birth happened at an inn within the city in the presence of a priest from the Church of Light and the innkeeper. Sadly their mother died right after giving birth to them. For even more bad luck, their strange magical nature became apparent right away when Vala was borth first and she didn’t cry or even breath. At first they considered her dead, but when Sala was born moments later, then the two children started breathing and crying at the same time.
After that, the children were taken into the church for ‘observation’ and safekeeping. No one ever came to search for them and the church had taken to use them as they saw fit. They had put metal chokers on the children and treated them as animals. Under lock in cages when they didn’t need them for anything. The twins never really complained much as long as they were together. Almost as if having each other was enough for them. When separated it was discovered that they couldn’t even do simple chores properly without messing up. Eventually they were given to a noble in Belizarius. There they were taught to cook and to please a crowd as they were used for entertainment during official diners. It was during one such occasion when another noble managed to free them during the party and smuggle them away from Belizarius. The noble was connected to Astaras, but for better or worse the sisters ended in Valka. The two confused, hurt and barely conscious children were taken in by a witch who ran an inn. Following that, they lived with the woman and learned from her. Additionally it was during this period that Sala and Vala also learned to sing along with their dancing. Mostly learned from the visiting bards at the inn, but soon enough they’d accompany the bards during performances.
Adulthood: When the twins were around the age of 27, they had decided to go to Astaras. There they were tested by the academy and given a certificate allow them to work in noble courts and to work as potion makers. Their bizarre nature didn’t go unnoticed, but as long as they did their job and didn’t cause anyone any problems, they were left alone. Sala and Vala opened a small potion shop within Bori under the protection of a noble.
Special Moments: Sala and Vala have a lot of bad memories that haunt their dreams and waking moments near every day. The years they were ‘raised’ by the church, the nightmares, the tortures and the abuse they took. Their necks still carry the scars from those times and it’s a constant reminder for the past.
Current Events: While the potion shop was going on fine, things turned for the worse when a passing Church of Light official recognized the two witches. While they were under the protection of a noble, the two were also clearly not normal. It wasn’t really that hard for him t first try to extort them. He tried many things and even tried to force himself on Sala. Naturally the twins didn’t stay still about it. While he was trying to rape one of them, they cast a curse on him. Causing him to be boiled from the inside out. Because of that they were forced to run away right away, as even before they managed to excape Bori, the news had already spread and the bells were ringing for the town guard to gather. Somehow they managed to rewach Shezze in time without incidents.

Aura Color: Both sister share the aura color of pure white. To those who can perceive auras, they can be almost blinding.
Scent: Sweet smell of herbal tea.
Anything Else: Sala and Vala are as one. Think and act as one to an unnatural degree. They finish each other’s sentences all the time. Scholars have stated that they must have been born with one soul for the two of them which is quite possible as unless they are in close vicinity to each other, they cannot focus or act normally. They appear weaker and even their intelligence seems to be lower. Without each other they appear to wane as a flower left without water.

Skills
A listing of skills, such as horseback riding, and natural abilities, such as night vision - this also includes any racial edges
- Herbalism: Sala and Vala are adept at recognizing various herbal plants and turning them into useful mixes and salves.
- First Aid: The twins are rather adept at treating wounds. They’ve gotten great at it from years of practice on their own bodies.
- Dance: Due their past and their forced wait of life, the twins have turned very adept at dancing. While not generally an useful skill, a well played performance can relax the body and mind of the audience.
- Search: The trained eye of those two sisters, allows them to see a lot from the little details. They can easily search for hidden things and often find them!
- Minor Enchanting: The twins have learned the art of enchanting objects with weak temporary magical properties.
- Cooking: The sisters are quite good at preparing food with limited supplies.
- Staff proficiency: Sala and Vala have mostly mastered fighting with their staffs in the situations when it’s needed. While not true martial masters, they can still fight and defend well enough.
- Singing: The twins are great singers and have beautiful melodic voices that go great with their dancing. They know a great number of bard songs.
Magic
A listing of spells, their descriptions - casting times, elements needed to cast, expected damage, any draw packs to casting
- Blood boil: As witches, Sala and Vala are most adept at spells that affect others directly. This curse originating as a slow curse that causes fever into the target, due the twin’s combined power, causes the target’s body fluids to heat up rapidly until boiling point. The spell requires about 10 seconds to cast and afterwards it’s starts rapidly affecting the target. It’s a single target curse.
- Shatter bones: A targeted curse that takes 30 seconds to cast and about the same for it to take effect on the target. The spell works in two stages, the first stage turns the target’s bones into a harder substance before the second stage starts, causing the bones to vibrate until the new substance of the bones cannot take it and starts to shatter.
- Snake sight: A pretty self explanatory spell. For the duration of about an hour, the user gains the ability to see as snakes do or to be precise they gain thermal vision. While useful on occasions, the fact that while the thermal vision is active, the user cannot distinguish colors, and maybe even surroundings depending on the temperature can be a huge drawback.
- Flesh stitching: A healing spell of sorts that can also be used offensively. It takes about 10 seconds to cast and takes the effect of the flesh of the target rapidly morphing. As healing spell it can be used to close up wounds and restore damaged tissues and as offensive spell it can be used to open wounds.
- Decay and erosion: A spell that takes about a minute to perform. After it’s cast, the twins need to touch their target and it will suffer the effects of either decay or erosion depending on if it’s alive or inanimate object. Useful for opening locked doors and gates.
- Essence Drain: Now this is a spell that completely falls under the category of dark magic. Using this spell takes about 5 minutes. When using it, you drain the target’s remaining life force. The now drained life force takes the form of a differently colored liquid similar to wine. It can be used to heal or restore expanded magic power. In enough doses it can even be used to revive people if they’ve died no longer than 10 minutes ago(takes essence drained from 5 healthy people to do that though). To perform this spell, a number of special sigils need to be written with the caster’s blood upon the target’s body. Lastly, the caster must injure himself in some manner, for the spell to take place.

@rivaan oooh I really like them :D I feel like they are going to be interesting to meet.
Oh and I was wondering about a magic item that I thought of. I essentially thought it could be a book that can only be read by the owner or the people he allows to read it. Other than that, it's a normal book. Figured I would run it past you before I went with it though :P

Personality: Vamon was once a bubbly and happy youth. He eagerly looked forward to completing his daily duties and happily spending late night studying crystals. But after his exile he became a much more reserved and quiet person. He will often stay quiet when people are conversing around him unless he is called upon or has important information. Despite his quiet nature though, he is caring and defending of people that he considers true friends or allies.
But if the conversation switches to Alchemy or Crystals he immediately shows interest. When he gets started on a topic he is passionate about, his old personality starts to show itself. He will often find himself rambling about his discoveries or findings until someone interrupts him or he becomes aware that he has been talking for far too long.
Habits: Minimal 2

Childhood: Vamon had a privileged childhood. He was born as the only son to a high ranking member of the Church of Light. Naturally he was taught the teachings of the church from a young age, and started to work towards being an upstanding member of both the community and the church. But he discovered the intoxicating draw of alchemy one day when he was running errands in the city. He was drawn in by the intoxicatingly disgusting smell wafting from an alley. It was a mix of smoke and sulphur that lead him towards the lifeless body of an old man. He was about to call someone to help when he saw a book. He was inexplicably drawn to it, and opened it to reveal a book of alchemical recipes and secrets behind crystals.
Adulthood: The day in the alley changed his life forever. He spent less time working for the church and progressively more time studying the book and finding his own alchemical solutions. The exposure to the fumes slowly bleached his hair, turning it almost white and giving him a grizzled voice that sounds almost intimidating. The church disagreed with what he was doing, but they allowed him to operate mostly because of the influence of his father. But that all changed when he pushed his luck a little too far.
Special Moments: His interests turned to crystals as his studies continued. He is currently working on research that would allow him to imbue spells into a crystal to allow them to be used by anyone and reusable multiple times. He wanted to study the Sun Shard to see if it could get him any more information, but he was caught in the act. The church wanted to immediately execute him, but his father managed to negotiate a deal. They branded his face with the mark of a heretic and exiled him from his home for the rest of his life.
Current Events: Since his banishment, Vamon has been struggling to find a place to settle down. He managed to stow away with a convoy making its way through the tunnels, but was discovered along the way. It turns out that sulphur has a very distinct smell, one that can often get you discovered in a sticky situation. Now he is left in Shezze with no idea where to go next. The only goal driving him is the pursuit of further knowledge, and the hope that one day he could finish his study on a Sun Shard.
Character Quote: “The Church doesn’t understand that the pursuit of knowledge is the only way to make progress.”
Theme Song: youtube.com/watch?v=3R75Xmec4Eg
Aura Color: A deep greenish yellow aura would suit Vamon best.
Scent: A deeply ingrained smell of sulphur and dust lingers where he goes.

Skills
A listing of skills, such as horseback riding, and natural abilities, such as night vision - this also includes any racial edges
- Scent: Vamon has a very keen sense of smell and can detect the unique scent of alchemical materials from a distance. It also helps him to identify potions and poisons without having to test them.
- Bombs: While not the most used tool in his arsenal, Vamon carries around a selection of carefully crafted vials. These vials contain separated chemicals that when come into contact with each other cause interesting reactions, functioning as a miniature thrown bomb. The bombs don’t explode, but instead form an acid that gets onto anything hit, burning it severally.
- Brewing: In the dark and foreboding tunnels there is danger around every corner. You are likely to be injured or even worse. So Vamon studied up on potions and the various types of things he could create with materials he could carry around with him. He is well versed in creating potions ranging from helping you see in the dark to even healing scrapes and wounds.
- Dueling: Surprisingly enough, Vamon was well versed in the art of the duel. He often partook in duelling during his time in Belizarius, and became rather good at the sport. His skills are somewhat transferable to combat, but the lack of rules often catches him off guard.
- Poison: By combining various chemicals, or in some cases simply harvesting it from an animal, Vamon can collect and apply poisons to his weapon or the weapons of people around him. He generally avoids letting others know that he has poison, as it can be seen as a bit of a bad character trait to have, but in a life or death situation he will advise allies to use them.
- Good with Animals: While he doesn’t have any pets of his own, Vamon is rather good with animals. They have an odd affinity for him and he trends to prefer the company of animals to humans. He hopes to find a pet one day, but most of the animals he has come across in the tunnels have been less than accomidating.
- Sneaking: Under the right circumstances, Vamon is rather adept at sneaking.
Magic
A listing of spells, their descriptions - casting times, elements needed to cast, expected damage, any draw packs to casting
- Push: Vamon has very little knowledge of magic, but in his time he did manage to learn two spells that are somewhat useful to him. The first is push, a spell that creates a force that pushes an object away from him. It is not very strong, and is highly unlikely to knock a person off their feet, but it can move small objects with ease. It happens almost instantly and its only cost is draining a little energy from the user. Vamon generally avoids using magic if he can though, more as a personal preference than any ideology.
- Pull: The second of these spells is, inversely, pull. Pull is similar to push as it allows the user to pull something towards their hand. This spell is mostly useful for quickly retrieving items while he is working, but he has had to use it a few times to retrieve a disarmed weapon.

History
Childhood: Vamon had a privileged childhood. He was born as the only son to a high ranking member of the Church of Light. Naturally he was taught the teachings of the church from a young age, and started to work towards being an upstanding member of both the community and the church. But he discovered the intoxicating draw of alchemy one day when he was running errands in the city. He was drawn in by the intoxicatingly disgusting smell wafting from an alley. It was a mix of smoke and sulphur that lead him towards the lifeless body of an old man. He was about to call someone to help when he saw a book. He was inexplicably drawn to it, and opened it to reveal a book of alchemical recipes and secrets behind crystals.
Adulthood: The day in the alley changed his life forever. He spent less time working for the church and progressively more time studying the book and finding his own alchemical solutions. The exposure to the fumes slowly bleached his hair, turning it almost white and giving him a grizzled voice that sounds almost intimidating. The church disagreed with what he was doing, but they allowed him to operate mostly because of the influence of his father. But that all changed when he pushed his luck a little too far.
Special Moments: His interests turned to crystals as his studies continued. He is currently working on research that would allow him to imbue spells into a crystal to allow them to be used by anyone and reusable multiple times. He wanted to study the Sun Shard to see if it could get him any more information, but he was caught in the act. The church wanted to immediately execute him, but his father managed to negotiate a deal. They branded his face with the mark of a heretic and exiled him from his home for the rest of his life.
Current Events: Since his banishment, Vamon has been struggling to find a place to settle down. He managed to stow away with a convoy making its way through the tunnels, but was discovered along the way. It turns out that sulphur has a very distinct smell, one that can often get you discovered in a sticky situation. Now he is left in Shezze with no idea where to go next. The only goal driving him is the pursuit of further knowledge, and the hope that one day he could finish his study on a Sun Shard.
