Rachel Cristalle

Name: Rachel Cristalle
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Alignment: Guild
Rank within Organisation:Recruit

Birthmark Shape:

My Hider

Location of Birthmark: Back of her hand
Magical Ability: Ice Manipulation - Rachel can create, shape and manipulate ice, water frozen into a solid state and appears naturally in forms of snow, slush, hail, icicles, ice spikes and candles, glaciers, pack ice, frost, and polar ice caps, and cold by reducing the kinetic energy of atoms and thus making things colder, for various effects and combinations.

Place of Birth: San Francisco
Currently Residing: New York, Brooklyn
Personality: Rachel have laid-back and nonchalant personality with a mix of sarcastic but a friendly attitude toward others but if she usually feel under pressure or nervous, she just shutdown and can't think straight, that she's just frozen (Haha, get it?) in place but she can still snap out of it of that state and starting to calm down and focus.
History/Bio:
Rachel Cristalle was born, she knew that she was different from her his kids from school....Well, Rachel knew she was autistic but still, she was different than the others.

When she was a kid, she beginning to question about her birthmark (she thought her parents tattoo her hand when she was a baby) Rachel try to ask her parents but they always told her "That not important" or "Don't worry about it" but Rachel know that deep down, her mother, her father, want to tell her the truth about her birthmark but that day never came and so, like her parents, she doesn't think or worry about it.

By the time when she turn ten, Rachel just started middle school and she be bully by the other students for her being different. She try to keep her head lay down to avoid the students, some time it works and some time it didn't. she feel like a freak, she feel like she is not normal, she want to feel like she is ok and to feel like she normal....But by the time she got in to high school, it turn out about her not being normal is true.

When Rachel was about to get out of school to go home, a group of mean girls ambush her and put her in the janitor closet. Rachel try to get out but the mean girls already lock the door, she try scream for help but nobody came. Rachel was starting to have a panic attack, thinking about that nobody is going to hear her, nobody going to help her, no one never help her when she move here and never care about her. While these thoughts are running in her mind, she starting to feel a cold breeze all round her, when she place her hand on the floor, it was also cold, it felt like ice. When Rachel finally snap out of it and start to look round to see that the whole closet is completely frozen.

Rachel finally confronted her parents about her new found ability and the her birthmark, her parents finally cave in and tell her everything. Her parents use to be Guild members and fight Dark Shadow members to protect the non-magi people but they soon retire when Rachel was born, they want to tell her when she was a kid but they waited until the time have come when Rachel discover her ability.

Now finally knowing the truth about her birthmark and herself, she can feel like she can breathe and feeling the weight on her shoulders gone, sure she not normal but not the "normal-normal" like her bullies, she was "Hey, look at me, I have magic powers and a complete badass-normal." When Rachel finally turn nineteen and graduated high school, she can finally follow her parents footsteps, join The Guild as a recruit and ready to protect the earth from Dark Shadow members.....As long as she doesn't froze where she stands.

If you have a little more room, I'd be interested in popping in. I've got an idea for a magical char trying to figure out the logic behind the massacres managed to happen, could be a fun time. Prolly on the guild sides.

Willow Fitzgerald

Name: Willow Fitzgerald
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Alignment: The Guild
Rank within Organisation: Medic/Member

Birthmark Shape:

Hider

Location of Birthmark: On her upper back, between her shoulder blades.

Magical Ability: Her singing voice is her power! She may use her voice to cause a variety of effects such as a very slow gradual healing (this is more a boost to their natural healing than anything and is done via a trance of sorts), or a burst of stamina, as well as harm or hinder enemies via materialized soundwaves or frequencies. Basically, bursts of concussive force. That said, if you manage to silence her and keep her that way, she is rather harmless. This is why she is not often found on the battlefield, unless Salem is sure she can be kept safe. She is a precious bean, after all.

Place of Birth: New York, USA
Currently Residing: New York, USA
Personality: Willow is kind, a bit bubbly, emotional, and often takes things quite seriously. She loves to sing and make music for people, her friends in particular, to cheer them up. She hates to see people down, and their happiness is often hers. She feels it is unfair to judge anyone before she knows them, even those aligned with the Dark Shadow. Everyone has their reasons for the things they do, after all. If she found one injured on the street or something she would probably leap first to help them before harming them (after all how would she know anyway?).

History/Bio: Born and raised in New York, Willow lived a relatively quiet life, until at the age of 10, she became a child star, almost instantly becoming famous for her exquisite singing and her parents having some good connections. Little did she know this wasn't due as much to talent (not that she had none of it) as it was to her magical powers, which she was unknowingly invoking.

A few years later, 15, Willow had risen further in popularity. Apparently, Salem caught wind of one of her performances and picked up on what was happening. The woman offered to help train her skills, and now she lives the double life of a music idol and Guild member.

@Ezmeralda

Oh look we got a bard 😂😂 I can see miss bubbly trying to drag Persephone out of her shell to do shit 😂

[Hedgehawk]

@Tominas @Rhiven Knight

Sorry for the delayed response. But yes we have more than enough slots for everyone.

[Hedgehawk]

@Sassy1085

Ykur CS looks Intresting. Also _Zendaya

@HaleyTheRandom will look over it too whe. She gets time to give final approval since she is the Guild Leader.

[Dead Cruiser]

I have a quick question, why are Dark Shadow members still restricted from "forbidden powers?" Which, themselves, are quite ill-defined. Like I have no idea what Rune Magic is.

Asking primarily because I have an idea for a character that interacts with ghosts/the dead and while that could ostensibly be considered necromancy I don't think it's anything worth banning as I currently envision it.

[Hedgehawk]

@Dead Cruiser

The main reason for the ban in forbidden magics is that Aloysius himself is not keen on them. (Though he may be hypocritical there.) He us trying to win over the hearts and minds of the zmsgi to his cause. Most if the forbidden magics are considered taboo, so if he allowed theur use in the DS it woukd only strengthen the popular opinion of the Magi to have them destroyed.

Forbidden msfuc includes Necromancy, Blood Magic, Poession Magic and chronomagic.Rune Magic us a little but more complicated. Rune magic involves drawing a symbol upon a surface using magic infused energy, usually drawn frkn the casters soul. These runes, depending on what was drawn can have varying effects, from harmless to outright lethal. Ontop if this, Runes tend to degrade the soul if the user, shortening theur lifespan with each use. Given the lack of Magi alive anyway, losing done to Rubemsgic could be problematic.

Therefore Rune Magic is mostly taboo. The only really exception is the use of defensive runes to fortify locations etc. This is down to the fact that defensive runes are less soul intensive and the would can recover from them. Offensive runes deal alot damage to the soul and in some cases are even irreparable.

As for your suggestion with ghosts and dead interaction: The walking dead is a thing that doesn't exist. That kind of necromancy hasnt been seen in a long time and Salem and Al are both in agreement the would want to keep it that way. As for ghosts it is indeed possible for the soul to stay behind after death. Normally they pass onto the afterlife completely of their own accord. Occasionally they have to be pushed. But someone could interact with them. (I don't want to say anything else as we start getting into spoiler region)

I hope that has helped you somewhat.

[Dead Cruiser]

Kind of. Here's my concept then: a character who can manipulate ectoplasm, the ethereal psuedo-matter left behind as a resonance of death. As a result he has powers that resemble necromancy but aren't truly, and is cast out of "decent" magical society and has taken refuge with Dark Shadow.

[Zoey Boey]

I'm here to say I'm officially withdrawing my interest in this RP. It looks great, but I don't think I could really give it the attention it deserves to contribute to the RP. Good luck!

[Sugar and Spite]

@sassy1085, @Ezmeralda - Both sheets look good to me.

@Dead Cruiser I'd have to have more info on the power to outright approve or veto. Like... what does said character do with the ectoplasm?

[Dead Cruiser]

Lots of weird stuff. He can infuse it into himself or into things around him as a power boost or to control it, he can make auras around himself or in an area from it, or just use it to attack or curse someone. Different deaths create different ectoplasm, which change his powers to have a variety of strange effects. For instance, an attack using Cold Wind ectoplasm, harvested from a death from exposure or a sky burial, is an icy attack that can inflict frostbite.

@Dead Cruiser

I'll wait on Hedge, but I'm leaning more towards no.

Not because it isn't a great idea - it is. It's amazing, actually.

But going from the last bit, depending on what sort of death he uses for fuel, he can sort of use any power? Death by fire would be a fire attack, so on, so forth?

[Dead Cruiser]

@HaleyTheRandom Eh, not exactly. His powers are set, but they're very diverse. There are a set number of specific types of ectoplasm (10 to be specific), and he won't have access to all of them at any given time. And their effects are not as straightforward as you might think. Pyre Flame ectoplasm does produce a fire attack, but unless he has access to a lot of ectoplasm the flames are only psychosomatic.

If this seems very specific and complex, it's because I've been sitting on this idea for a while.
