[OOC] Raindale University For Witches [+18]

[blackdragon]

@Allycat Would a half-demon whose long-term goal is immortality be a good fit?

[Otterpop]

@blackdragon - This is a school for Witches, not demons. I am not even going to introduce creatures like that until later on in the roleplay. I don't mean to sound snippy, it's just that a character like that would not work in my setting.

[blackdragon]

Okay, then how about a witch whose specialty is shapechanging? Different animals and such.

[Otterpop]

@blackdragon - The only things they would be able to shape change into is basic, normal animals. This would also take a lot of magic to do so it's not something they could do repeatedly in one go. Nothing otherworldly. I don't want character's who can just transform into a dragon.

Fo those that are wondering, the Card game I mention on my character sheet under hobbies is based of a card game from a show. The clip is here...

@Allycat Forgive my awful coding but here's my Warlock. I also decided to forgo the sibling idea and create my own character.

Marcus Layfield | Warlock

It's all a bit of a toss up for him between teaching at Raindale or teaching at a some other academy in another country. Although with this, he wants to be a part time Alchemist for a company that needs his expertise, as well.

If you knock him down once, he'll get right back up. Do it twice, he still gets back up. All in all, you cannot keep him for long amounts of time if you tried. He's also the type of person that will stand up for himself, which he has done so much already and he'll even stand up for others, too. Marcus isn't afraid to speak up when he knows for a fact that something or someone is wrong in general. A trait that has gotten him in a bit of trouble but he's not changing for anyone. He likes to joke and maybe even pull pranks on other people. But it's all to make others laugh and smile, nothing more or less. Marcus is not the type of person to hold back his words to anyone. It really does not matter to him who you are either. If he has something to say to you, he'll say it. Sure, he might've hurt some feelings and left a trail of other's emotions in the wake of his words but he doesn't dwell on that feeling for too long. He's also a lurker as he'll lurk in the background for a moment and plot or plan his next move. Marcus likes to strike towards others at the exact right time and moment. When something he plots falls into place, he is satisfied but if not, he won't bother trying again but will move on to his next target. Well, if he has one at the time. ʜɪsᴛᴏʀʏ Marcus was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico whenever his mother and father were on a trip down there. He was born two weeks premature and there were no complications to his birth. He cannot remember much about his birth, obviously but knew when his life did start becoming a little bit better. He was six or so whenever he saw his father working in his laboratory. Little Marcus was intrigued and wanted to learn so, his father does teach him and Marcus was down there every day until he caused a little accident. His father banned him from stepping another foot into his lab from that point on but they still had a likable bond with each other. Unbeknownst to him what or who his father really was. They eventually broke the news to him days before his tenth birthday about his father and he was shocked, confused and surprised. He honestly thought that it was really awesome news to hear. They also told him about his Indian heritage and how his great grandmother was a psychic and how it skipped many generations until he was born. That confused him even more but he just rolled with it. Growing up since hearing those infamous words though was very, very hard for him. Marcus had to hide the news from friends and other family members and when he was about to burst, his parents kept him locked inside and homeschooled him. Yes, there was some magic involved but not too much. Since then, he had wanted to go to a school that was acceptable to people like him. After a thorough search, they found Raindale University and Marcus did not hesitate to pack his bags, say goodbye to his parents and drove to the school. Not long until he made friends, enjoying every single one of them and their presence. His first year went by too fast as he likes to tell it but so ready for his second year and hopes it doesn't go by with a breeze. Plus, he's looking forward to seeing his friends again and perhaps, maybe even meet that special someone this year.

He likes to come up with new chemical ideas that he can mix together to come up with potions that he can use or see if it's effective. So far, he has created only two successful potions and is currently working on another one. He has had many unsuccessful attempts and even blew up his room because of one but he doesn't talk much about those attempts. sᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜs ❖ Creative | He's not just creative at being a warlock but is also creative at writing poetry and other things. ❖ Intelligence | Yes, he is smart but he's also intelligent when it comes to making quick and snap decisions. He can think on his feet without giving it a second thought. ᴡᴇᴀᴋɴᴇssᴇs ❖ Rules | He follows the rules to a fault, always looking for a loophole or so through them and eventually breaking them. He's done so at least twice now so, he's basically on his last strike. ❖ Loud Noises | Marcus needs absolute little to no noises if possible. He needs to be able to concentration whenever he's studying the stars above, mixing chemicals or doing some tarot reading. ꜰᴀᴍɪʟɪᴀʀ Maxwell Marcus got his German Shepard when he had turned ten years of age. He had pleaded and pleaded to his parents why he should have a dog and eventually, they surprised him with one of his birthdays. Marcus was happy, relieved and grew a tight bond with Maxwell really, really quickly. His parents helped him with the contract, a bit misunderstood but he just went along with it. Since then, Maxwell only suffered one close call after being run over by a vehicle.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

<sub>If any of you lovelies want to discuss connections between Marcus and your character, slide into them PM's tho.

Also, will this roleplay have a Discord or nah?

That is all. Thank you for your time.</sub>

[Otterpop]

That's a good question.

Do you guys want a discord?

[AlteredTundra]

@Allycat That would certainly be up to you. I know I would be down for it but not a big deal if it doesn't happen.

[BleedingLover]

That's a good question.

@Allycat

@Allycat That would certainly be up to you. I know I would be down for it but not a big deal if it doesn't happen.

@Altered Tundra

Basically this.

[QueenNugget]

@Allycat Yeah, I'd be done for a discord, sounds great

[LovelyComplex]

Announcement!

Not full co-gm because I'm kind of lazy for that life right now, since I'm still getting another rp moving, but I am a little assistant and y'know, moral support. I'll help where I can, maybe some of the lame work she doesn't want to do like poke people to post, but idk if I can go full 100 percent co-gm mode. Ally is my fwiend and I can't just not help her after I convinced her to join the Guild. When I get more time on my hands, I may help with any plot she has in mind, but if any of you care to actually take stress off her hands, she would love co-gms/head witches that can commit more than me.

FOR NOW, hi, here's an easier way to annoy each other:

Discord link. She created the server, I added all the categories. If you have more categories to suggest, please suggest away.

History
The Allbrights are an old family of witches, and known to the ordinary people of nearby Fredericksburg as a family of rich eccentrics. They are locally famous(or infamous, depending on where you stand) for remaining neutral during the American Civil War. The local legend goes that soldiers from both sides tried to visit them at various times during the war, but despite being a large home and property, no one ever found the Blue House where the Allbright family lived. It wasn’t seen again until years after the war ended, when a mail carrier who was new in town was being hazed by his new coworkers. When he asked about a large backlog of packages for the Allbright estate, they let him go try to deliver it to the missing house, for a laugh. Nobody believed him when he returned, bemusedly successful, until he was pressed and described the house and the patriarch of the family with eerie accuracy.

Habitually reclusive, and territorial to a fault, the Allbright family never got involved with witch affairs either. They traditionally taught their children at home, and Dana is the first member of the family to attend Raindale. His natural wanderlust was magnified by his rite of passage, and the forging of his familiar contract. Had he been born a few years ago, he might never have gone, but as luck would have it, the family’s previous patriarch died recently, and was succeeded by an uncle who was particularly fond of Dana. He indulged the young man, and sent him off to school.

Specialization
The magic practiced by the Allbrights draws power from the land, through their connection with it. This does not mean necessarily the natural landscape only, but refers to what humans have built as well.
Their most powerful place is an abandoned church, and its adjacent graveyard where many Allbrights have been buried in the past. Dana has a branch from an ancient oak tree that grows among the tombstones.
He is a nature witch, who counts humanity as a part of nature.

Strengths
Can connect with and intuit his environment very well.
Is Sensitive to spirits, both dead and inhuman.

Weaknesses
Can be easily overwhelmed

_______

Familiar
Crow, the crow.
Like many witch families, the Allbrights have a particular rite of passage, though theirs isn’t the most responsible. Dana was given a special blend of plants with particular magic properties to smoke, and then sent walking from the back yard of the Blue House. Nobody knows what actually happened after that, least of all Dana. But his experience of it was as follows.

He came upon a country road, approaching out of the woods. It continued on forever, Dana walking unsteadily. He spoke with animals, but encountered no people, despite occasionally walking through cities, both modern and ancient. Much of this was experienced in a haze, but one event he remembers very clearly. He was walking past a corn field, but it was rotten most of the way through. There was but a single stalk still standing, and it was guarded by a scarecrow. Though he couldn’t describe it now, at the time it terrified him, “it was trying to kill me with its eyes,” he described shortly after returning. He doesn’t remember what he meant.

Dana was starving by this point, and though he originally ran as far and fast as he could, he returned, as it was the only food he’d seen on his whole trip. Summoning all of his courage, Dana charged across the field, and shoved the scarecrow over. It went down without any resistance, and Dana seized the last ear of corn. When he turned around, the field was covered with flocks of crows who had apparently come down from the sky after the scarecrow was deposed. They were picking at the rotting corn, apparently trying to find a morsel that was still edible. Dana sat on the edge of the road, but only ate a few bites of the raw corn before tossing it to a small family of the birds. After watching them eat, one of the younger crows hopped over to him, and dropped an old tarnished silver ring by his hand. Dana put the ring on, and for some reason felt like he ought to be getting home. When he returned, the crow followed him.
