[OOC] Small Town of Wizards and Witches!

[Avemelle]

Alright! Just making sure ^^

[Baklava]

@Yuuta Makoto could stand to be a bit friendlier... heh

@Avemelle I figured Makoto would have been really practiced in just the three animals-- like how a novice piano player might be really good at playing Hot Cross Buns, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and [insert some other easy piano song here-- idk]. But I can make his bird transformation a bit less great. Like he's really clumsy at flying and can't maintain it very well/for very long. (Getting stuck in trees hijinks ensues) Could even get rid of it completely if you'd prefer.

@Baklava

Nah-- your characters fine! I was just planning something for the post and I needed to make sure of something. :P ^^

[Baklava]

@Avemelle Okay!

[Angel Eyes]

Theres something kind of adorable about this concept. I like it. Gonna see if I can whip up something. :)

[KoL]

<Snipped quote by KoL>

Omg!!!!!! I love your powers! <3 Accepted <3

@Avemelle

Thanks. That's likely the most excited reaction to one of my characters in ages. I'm glad you appreciated her.

[Aleranicus]

@Avemelle A work in progress CS! Will update as your GM-ness requests.

Akari Magus

[Akari Magus]



:Name:
The great and wonderful Akari Magus! Is that my real name? Heavens no! But I liked the sound of it when I first came to this place, and darling, I'm sticking with it until I move on. Maybe I'll give you my true name if I like you enough. My assistant Kagami knows, but she knows almost everything about everyone- town gossip that she is. It's why I hired her!

:Age:
What, in this existence, or my whole existence? I supposed I'm about 23, 24 by now? I popped into this realm not long ago all things considered.

:Race:
Angel, Kami, Spirit, they all kind of fit the bill. It all depends where you come from, honey. My kind doesn't concern ourselves with labels. But if you absolutely have to give whatever I am a name, I suppose Guardian Spirit would be best.

:DOB:
December 18th. I love winter birthdays, don't you?

:Occupation:
When there are enough students at the school, I like to work as a part-time Instructor in Defense Against Evil at Hishiro. Always nice to help the next generation come to their senses where sorcery and blood magic is concerned. Ever since the school closed up, I've been a full time caretaker at the Hishiro Magical Daycare Center. You'd be shocked how many dryads need someone to look after their little ones come summertime!

:Background:
If you're asking for the whole thing, I'm afraid that's quite impossible. My watch says I've got 6 minutes until the little ones wake up and I'll have to get the bottles ready. Also, I don't lay it all out on the first date. I'm old, not easy.

I don't get to pick where I appear whenever I come to Earth, but I showed up in Hishiro about twenty years ago now. I came for the lovely kimonos, and stayed for the even lovelier people. A lot of young wizards and witches were left without family in the wake of the conflict, and now that the magical and the mundane have merged, I try to make things easier on everyone as best I can. So I called in some favors, made some concessions, and opened up my little daycare right next to the cutest little bookshop in the town. It isn't an easy job looking after kids with the ability to defy the laws of nature alongside mundane kids who eat crayons, but I did my best and enjoyed the fruits of my labor as best I could.

Most of the adults think I'm some kind of arch-mage. A few caught on that I was not entirely human. But telling the truth invites more questions than I'm comfortable answering. Nowadays, I do the babysitting gig for the love of it rather than necessity. But now that I got this invitation to the school that's opening up, I can't wait to see what all this excitement is!

:Magic:
Oh, well, magic. You'd guess from my race that I'm some sort of all powerful being who can command life and death in both hands, wave the laws of reality, and save the day single-handedly. Well... no. I'm mostly just good at being inconspicuous and the creation of Heavenly Wards in a pinch. I can make two of them if need be. The first is the Ward of Sight which came in handy during the magical war. If someone looks at a building marked with the ward and doesn't have magical ability themselves, then their eye keeps moving and they go on their way. They see the building, but they don't SEE the building, if you catch my drift.

The second ward I make is the Repel Evil ward. Sometimes people summon nasty things to do their dirty work, and sometimes they have evil on their minds themselves. This one generally repels anyone with wicked intent from approaching a location. How does it feel? Spray yourself in the face with some mace, then describe it to me. What? Yes, use the whole bottle! You have to get the full effect.

:Magical Equipment:
Usually I go everywhere with two things- a wand-sized paint brush for drawing my runes. And a Gucci diaper bag from my main job at the daycare- always have everything you need to do your job, but most importantly, look good doing it!

Tachibana Shiori

Tachibana Shiori

Age: 22 (appears younger, more like 15 years old)
Race: Mostly human, although the remains of demon blood still run through her veins.
DOB: April 21st, 1994
Occupation: Student / Waitress

Theme Song:


___________________

Background:
Many decades ago, near the smouldering end of the war between magical critters and those who were not magically gifted, a female human and male demon reconciled a little earlier than the rest, and started building up their lives together. Eventually a child was born: a demi-demon. Now, a couple of generations down the line, the demon-genes are still passed on, albeit to a (much) weaker extend. The newest addition to this lineage is Shiori, whose demonic traces only manifest themselves in the form of slightly pointier teeth and ears, as well as the supernatural ability to manipulate unconsciousness.

Despite her somewhat uncommon ancestry, she has lead quite the normal life so far. She was a bit of an outcast in primary school, but this was not due to her looks nor due to her giftedness; in fact she had not even realized her powers at this age. She was, and still is, simply always a bit caught in her own little bubble, wondering about the nature of things, or marveling over the minds of scientists.

Most would call her dreamy, but a more fitting word would be analytical: Shiori likes examining and dissecting situations, both social and scientific, but is more apt in the latter. She finds great pleasure in trying to solve puzzles, reading, listening to music: just about anything that stirs her imagination. She has a good spatial aptitude, and has found herself to be good at putting herself in someone else’s shoes. Even though one could say she is emphatic, most people find it hard to approach her because of her aloofness. Her absent-mindedness has also lead her to be clumsy at times.

Shiori may have the logic dexterity of a scholar, deep inside the girl is still a child. She loves collecting cute things and expresses this through keeping dainty stationery, small keychains, and sticking stickers whenever she finds the opportunity. Although she is usually eloquent, she likes squeezing in cute slang in her sentences every now and then.

Shiori’s parents had not gone unnoticed of their daughter’s abilities, both her cognitive and mystic skills. It was hard not to find out as they occasionally ended up being subject to her powers, albeit by accident. They have urged her to continue developing them by following more education in the fields Shiori is specialized in.

Almost as if by destiny she received a letter that she had been selected for a magic academy not much later. Knowing she had the support of her parents, she accepted the invitation. Shiori still has some doubts about her decision, but is looking forward to set foot on new terrain nonetheless.

Magic:
Dreams (and Sleep) - Shiori has the talent of controlling and manipulating dreams. Because her imaginative power is well developed, she is capable of creating surreal dream worlds that appear incredibly lifelike, as if the person experiencing the dream were awake. She does however not yet have full control over her powers, and needs to be unconscious herself to shape the dreams of her subject. If she manages to change the dream to a nightmare, her demonic nature will slowly start to kick in, and Shiori may lose control.

A master in this field has the potential of materializing themselves in dreams: actually being present in the other’s dreams and experience them. Besides dream control, they would also be able to have an influence on sleep: make their target fall asleep or feel fatigued.

Magical Equipment:
none

Hope you like my creation. :) Let me know if anything needs changing.

Arden Thorn

Arden Thorn
^{Height: 182 cm. Weight: 79 kg. Age: 19 years.
Hair Color: Blonde. Eye Color: Green.}

Name: Arden Thorn (Amakos Therai)
Age: 19 years.
Race: Tiefling
DOB: January 21, 1998.
Zodiac: Aquarius.
Occupation: Student.

Background
It's not to say Arden's father was a bad man, just really bad at making the right choices. He was weak of will and fell to many many vices, easy prey for Arden's half demonic mother. It was after all in her nature and her blood to feed off of others suffering. With his last bit of sense Arden's father took baby Arden short after his birth and fled.

So Arden grew up with his father until his fathers lifestyle of drinking, smoking, drugs and gambling caught up with him.

The two lived together out in the countryside in a state of squalor until Arden was old enough to start fending for himself and contributing. He fastly became independent and soon supported his father who equally as fast became crippled by illness and grew worse and worse day by day.

After his fathers passing young Arden made his way to the nearest town where he lived on the streets until he found a mysterious letter that would change his life forever.

Magic
Arden's Magic is rare and risky to wield. He can reach beneath the fabric of existence to a pure raw and wild chaotic force. To some it is known as creation energy, others chaos magic. Mishandling it can result with some unfathomable, unpredictable harsh consequences. Not only does the mind need to be sharp to direct such a raw untameable force, but the body must be strong too. Acting as a conduit for this wild magic takes a physical toll, always.

Magical Equipment
Arden who has grown up in poverty has managed to get this far with very little and will continue to do so.

@Dark Light

[Avemelle]

Aye! I'm back online!

I'm stopping character sheets from coming in for know as I believe we have enough to start the RP!

[Yuuta]

@Avemelle Wooo! Any idea when we'll have the first post up? (Sorry, I'm impatient. Haha)

[Baklava]

@Avemelle Does that mean Aleranicus, Amaralyn, and Dark Light's characters are all accepted?

@Avemelle Does that mean Aleranicus, Amaralyn, and Dark Light's characters are all accepted?

Sorry I couldn't review them @_@ This is why I was looking for a CO-GM to do it for me because I was busy :<

I'll look over them right now!

:Age:
It's sweet of you to ask, but I'm afraid I'm a bit too old for someone like you! Come back in 300 years and I won't feel like I'm robbing the cradle.

I came to Hishiro at the tail end of the magical conflict, when everyone was settling down and the big girls and boys were drawing up the peace. I came for the lovely kimonos, and stayed for the even lovelier children. A lot of young wizards and witches were left without family in the wake of the conflict, and while there aren't many of my kind walking the world, we do our part as best we can. So I called in some favors, made some concessions, and opened up my little daycare right next to the cutest little bookshop in the town. It wasn't an easy job raising orphans with the ability to defy the laws of nature, but I did my best and enjoyed the fruits of my labor as best I could.

Most of them thought I was some kind of arch-mage. A few caught on that I was not entirely human. But telling the truth invites more questions than I'm comfortable answering.

But now that I got this invitation to the school that's opening up as a part-time instructor, I can't wait to see what the newest generation is up to!

@Aleranicus

Do you mind explaining your characters race? Like-- defining features, etc? If you wanna keep it a secret then just message me their race.

And as for your characters age I was hoping for you guys to be around at least 16 to 50years? So that it wouldn't be as confusing for players since a lot of story did happen during the 1800s and 1900's of this world and I'd would very much like it if the players just kept it simple for their characters so that it wouldn't be as much of a problem.

Your occupation is also sort of a problem-- since the school had been 'running on the low' for a few years no once has been able to contact the school nor the last founder of it so that would've meant no one knew it ever existed in the first place but that was just a point I forgot to include >.< But I do find it interesting for the school to have a defender of the sorts... (message me <3 )

I'm sort of confused about your magic... do you mind putting more emphasis on it? It sounds sort of scary :< Like what your magic can do? Can it freeze things? Melt things? KILL PEOPLE?! Jk. But yeah-- if you just fix your magic you'll be accepted! ^^

[Avemelle]

I'll either start making the post right now! Or during the morning XD

[Verdaux]

And I was JUST thinking about a slife-of-life too...

Reserving a spot is a bit much, isn't it?

@Avemelle

It's from an old 'encyclopaedia arcana' addition to dnd.
It 'can' do a lot, quite versatile. But I know how to level play.
It will mostly be little energy bolts, small temporary creations and short dizzying teleportation.

Nothing OP ;)
