Nina Hughes

Name:
Nina Hughes

Age:
19

Birthday:
October 12th

Magic

Aptitude:
2
Aura:
Mental Enhancement
Magical Powers (*Note: All of these are temporary enhancements, of course. Personally, I find mental abilities to be tricky because they can easily be OP if not careful. Therefore, for all of these, I would say she can only perform them once a day (so if she’s, say, used Apathy, she may not use her other abilities without risking some drawback):

1. Hyper-awareness- Nina develops the ability to notice everything going on around her. Drawback: Nina's hyper-awareness can lead to sensory overload and overwhelm her if used for too long in each moment, making it difficult for her to focus or function effectively for some time.

2. Empathy- Nina can fully understand the emotions and mental states of others. Drawback: Constantly experiencing and processing the emotions of others can lead to empathy fatigue, making it challenging for Nina to establish emotional boundaries and take care of her own needs.

3. Apathy- Nina can remain emotionless and detached, no matter the situation. Drawback: Nina's lack of emotional response might cause her to misinterpret or overlook the importance of certain situations or the emotional needs of others at the moment.

Sample Post

After the first time she’d read the letter, Nina had been seated in her usual spot: in the cozy study of her family’s home, surrounded by shelves of old books and trinkets collected over the generations. The flickering flames in the fireplace had cast a warm glow, illuminating the room as she held the apparent invitation in her trembling hands. Outside, the soft sound of rustling leaves and chirping crickets did nothing to soothe her despite the ambiance it created. If anything, it was an infuriating backdrop, a cruel reminder about the world she was about to leave behind.

She’d been caught off guard in the most annoying way.

No sooner had she finished reading the last line did she see the world around her dissipate, as if someone had taken a wand and turned everything into smoke. She’d been initially disoriented, the haze only clearing as her eyes came to adjust to the suddenly bright colours around her. You’d think they would put a warning before opening the envelope that you wouldn’t be able to say goodbye to your loved ones…but no, she complained to herself sullenly, glowering at the now blue sky above her as it if were to blame for unceremoniously dumping her into this new world. The sand beneath her feet did not make things better either, invading her delicate bunny slippers and causing her to squirm with each step she took toward the newly formed stairs before her.

Really, none of this should have been a surprise to her. It was only recently that she’d found herself with abilities that none of her classmates could perform, at least as far as she knew. After all, it was not the norm that she could just know-just feel- what they happened to be thinking at a particular time. The dread for an upcoming exam; the excitement bubbling up the closer they got to the end of class; the hidden sadness lingering behind a few of their smiles.

Her abilities already felt like they were far too much.

As the unfamiliar voices and vibrant energies mingled around her, she felt a surge of vulnerability. Nina instinctively crossed her arms, as if seeking solace and protection within herself. The oversized t-shirt she wore, once a comforting garment, now served as a shield against the unknown faces around her. Summoning whatever courage she could, she took a tentative step forward, reminding herself that at least she was not going to be alone on this new journey.

she's accepted :) though a little nitpick, there's not going to be any wands in this roleplay, i saw mention of a wand in the sample post and wasn't sure if it was an expression or you thought that wanda were a thing here

@thatguy

Naa just phrase of expression lol :)

[thatguy]

then go ahead and it in the character tab :)

[thatguy]

just waiting for Aard's second character's sample post, then we can begin this epic tale of epicness :)

[thatguy]

@AardWolf@Qia@Th3King0fChaos

The IC is up, though a few things to clear up any confusion
1- The Egpytian scene, those are our potential future versions of our characters, you don't have to plan anything exquisit way ahead of time, as these are just possibilities your characters could become
2- The tablet my character is using is this story's version of a wand, it's a stone tablet that will be provided in the Enochian class during orientation of it, think of it like a text to speech application
3- The words my future character is speaking are enochian, each three-ish letter enochian word spells out one word in english, for the story that was "bind" and "contain" since this is a future scenario, feel free to use more complex words and i'll provide the enochian alphabet during an enochian class, but here it is for the moment.
omniglot.com/conscripts/enochian.htm
4- This first chapter titled: Transplant is all about characters going from the regular mystical earth to the immortal hills, the fight with the eldritch gods, and introductory stuff. though a quick aside, i know there's only five players but make mention of a few extras in case other people end up joining, if they don't we can just ignore them.
5- Happy writing :)

[AardWolf]

Sorry! I thought I had posted it before crashing this morning, but both are finally done!

[thatguy]

@AardWolf It's all good, put those ladies into the character tab and get to posting, but take your time of course, no need to rush

[AardWolf]

For the IC is it mainly just an expansion on the sample post since almost all of us wrote about getting the letter?

[thatguy]

yeah, basically the day that led up to the letter, joining in on the egypt situation, and if you want to, provide some details about what's over the staircase

[thatguy]

@AardWolf@Th3King0fChaos@Qia

Bump

[Qia]

Yes working on my post. Hoping to have it up by tomorrow if not too tired from work :)

[thatguy]

it's all good, i was just bumping it to keep it relevant and visible in the main area, but if anybody has questions about what to do, just drop a line :)

[Qia]

Just so you know the image I used was just a reference. Don't feel pressured to go off it completely. I just needed something to look at lol xD

[thatguy]

no problem, though im thinking this is what i want the school to look like



Also, there's a city state called Tront that we'll be exploring later and it looks like this

[Qia]

Ok to reflect that this isn't the school then I edited it to be just a random building reflective of the style of buildings found near the school/ in the town.

[AardWolf]

I’ll have mine up later!

[thatguy]

curious question for everybody. i have a sport idea for this story called Mazechase, it's like the third task in the triwizard cup in Goblet Of Fire but turned into a sport, there are 5 people: 1 on the entrance of the maze and 1 on the exit who are called the Wagemakers who are in communication with each other as they bet their class grade percentage points on how long it takes a 3rd person who is on neither team called the Maze Racer whose sole job is to get out, but on the Wagemaker's teams are 1 other person who's job it is to keep the Racer in the maze called the Runcasters who are allowed to use their magic for this job. my question is, do you guys want this in the story, or should i leave it out?
