The Return of Magic - The intro

[NoriWasHere]

I’ll have a few characters throughout the story. I’ll start with a character that will be in the group who’s magic will revolve around plants and nature. You can use whatever school of magic you wanted within reason in a fantasy setting.

I may create a discord for this, I’ll see what the interest looks like and go from there :)

[ColouredCyan]

I'm interested!

I'm thinking about a Scholar/Cleric journeying to research the old magic. She's admits that, despite her best efforts, healing magic just doesn't come naturally nor has she found it particularly well detailed accounts of it but speciallises in what she calls "preventative methods of care" and what others might call fire magic. She wears robes that make her instantly recognisable as belonging to The Holy Order as a low ranking Scribe. Irremarkably brown and plain except for the white bands on the shoulders, Large black one size fits all mitts that, bless her, could be pulled up to the elbow. The hat on the otherhand is anything but, a large yellow wide brimmed thing with the Order's insignia emblazoned front and centre, making her unmistakably a member.

She weilds a heavy duty battle lantern and chain to channel spells like "Luminosis", "Ignis" and "Cauter". When she doesn't have her nose buried in a book she's awkwardly shaking down locals for leads and sustinance, wrestling with her hate/hate relationship with universes tendancy towards atrophy and decay (she doesn't like dead/smelly things) and admiring the majesty of God's creation in all its facets (except those mentioned previously).

What do you think? I got a bit carried away.

@ColouredCyan

I do like the effort put in!! I would keep in mind for all intents and purposes, magic and the knowledge of its existence is very much an unknown. Would there be people who believe in magic and search for clues? Yeah of course! I don’t think the order as it stands would work per se. As well, it’s important to remember that everyone’s powers will be very minimal at first! You can grown into those powers, and eventually exceeded them, but your fire magic will be limited to start!!

What about having the order be a smaller group, almost conspiracy styled, group? They believe that magic is real and try to prove it and post their findings online only to be ridiculed from all sides!

What does your character look like? What do they wear? Images work in conjunction, but I ask that we do not use any overly anime or cartoon-styled pictures. It is not a hard rule so feel free to use said pictures if that is what you want for your character :)

Please include a concise description of who your character is.

Be as detailed as you'd like. I would include all pertinent information about what your character has done or has been through. keep in mind these characters are from the modern world and for the most part, will have lived a life that is not mystical. While that is quickly changing, the base point remains! As well, please also include what it was like for them when they got their powers and how they learned they had them!

Equipment:

Any item they carry :)

A nice and simple CS template. Feel free to use or create your own! I ask that all the base

@MagratheanWhale I feel like there's maybe a power section missing from the sheet, unless that was a deliberate exclusion for the moment?

@VarionusNW

Deliberate for now as I’m still writing that section up! I want that to be a bit more detailed!

@MagratheanWhale

Oh, maybe I should have elaborated, I was thinking the Holy Order is just a ordinary religious order, and what Gwyndolin is supposed to be doing is evangelising and spreading the First Flame's warmth. The magic is something she does in secret and is somewhat reluctant to share with the rest of her kinsmen on account of rumours about the The Holy Order's involvement in witch hunting.

As well, it’s important to remember that everyone’s powers will be very minimal at first! You can grown into those powers, and eventually exceeded them, but your fire magic will be limited to start!!

@MagratheanWhale

I don't know what kind of power curve you're going for yet but maybe if I explained my spells it would help.

Ignis - Make the flame jump a short distance, little further than she could by swinging the lantern
Luminosis - Make the lantern brighter
Cauter - Make the flame hotter for an instant

keep in mind these characters are from the modern world

@MagratheanWhale

Ah, the setting is not what I thought it was. I thought it was a fantasy setting. Can I get a clarification on this? Clarification recieved.

I'll start work on a CS as I rework the character, if thats ok. :)

[VarionusNW]

@ColouredCyan Yea it's modern fantasy. I thought the same that at first too, but the first post references the internet and Modern is one of the tags. And I'm sure we'll get clarification on magic and power scaling once the OOC is out since everyone seems to have a few different ideas of what it might be. From what I read it looks like more of a power system, with each character probably picking a concept or magic type, and starting with a single cantrip level minor ability. And the upgrades are at least player guided, if not directly player controlled. I could be entirely wrong though.

[ColouredCyan]

@VarionusNW , So it does lol, amazing that we only really read what we want to read.

If I have to lose spells for now it'll definitely be cauter but I'm split between Luminosis and Ignis, Ignis obviously more useful for fighting, Luminosis I think would be a better starting place.

[Randomness]

I’ma toss my interest in. As far as character concepts, for a power I thinking shadows and ice. When you feel that chill in the night like there lies something in the shadows.

@MagratheanWhale

So, do I need separate sheets for both the human and familiar, or do I just need a sheet for the human?

[NoriWasHere]

@ColouredCyanyeah it’s modern!! I’m sorry if that wasn’t made more clear, but I’m glad you’re taking the concept and making it modern :)

@VarionusNW It will be player driven but I’d want it to be in line with the starting power/powers!

@Randomness I can’t wait to see it :)

@Dragonfly 9I would just do a basic CS for the familiar. I’d imagine that even with a relationship, the parasite wouldn’t want to reveal too much. Knowledge is power after all :)
