So the basis for this rp is that there are people in the world who can see beyond the normal boundaries of life. There are the Marked, and the Seers, and among both groups are the Rune Sketchers and the Magi. These individuals are the Awakened to the presence of the supernatural in the world. They see the demons, the werewolves, the vampires, and all the other monsters of the night, and what they choose to do with them is up to them. Some of the Awakened fight and hunt all non-humans blindly, while others make alliances with them without morals or mercy, and some others still find the good in even the monsters, and try to do their best to balance the light and the dark.
Marked- Under extreme, life or death pressure the marked develop a tattoo-like mark that gives them extraordinary powers. The mark is reminiscent of the power it grants (I.E. a mark in the form of flames might be control over fire). There are three kinds of marks, anima, physica, and potentia, anima marks have the ability to leave the skin to create living creatures, animate familiars that are linked mind and soul to the marked, physica marks have the ability to leave the flesh to become physical items, weapons or tools that the marked can use and manipulate, and potentia remain on the skin, granting the user extraordinary abilities such as the control of fire or water. Since the Mark requires such extreme circumstances to occur, it is rare for a Marked family to exist, seeing as normally when a Marked adult has a child they do all they can to shelter their kin from the monsters that roam the night, as well as from any dangers which may cause a Mark to form.
Seers- There are two different sights, the first being the ability to see auras, the life energy of all living creatures, there are many variants to their sight and their skill at seeing, the second is the ability to see the future or past, and like the other form of sight it comes in varying forms and strength. Seer lines are hereditary and they go back generations, some lines can even trace their family history as far back as the Oracles of ancient Greece. Seers have often worked in tandem with the marked, however while Marked and Seer bloodline have crossed it is rare for a Seer to also become one of the Marked. Since Seers gift is a natural thing, their families tend to be much more knowledgeable then the Marked, as where the Marked tend to hide the truth of their gifts from their children the Seers must explain the sight to their kin, and since Marked tend to be Awakened on their own, some Marked can be left to roam by themselves fro years before finally stumbling on another who is also Awakened.
Rune sketchers- Are Seers or Marked, who also possess the ability to manipulate the world by putting energy into specific runes, creating powerful protections, wards against evil, or dangerous traps.
Magi- Are Seers or Marked, who possess the unique ability to manipulate the elements and energies of the world through spoken spells
The Awakened, an umbrella term for the Marked, Seers, Sketchers, and Magi, tend to gather and stay with one another in groups for safety, there are several well known gathering places all over the world, we will most likely be starting in the northwest United States in a place called the Ravenwood’s Inn, a three floor establishment, the tallest and oldest building in Bellhaven, Washington. The Ravenwood's are a long, proud line of hunters, and the Inn houses their family, as well as several permanent live in hunters, and is constantly a safe haven for traveling hunters.
I have several plot lines in mind and will decide which one to go with based on the characters we get.
Okay, so a few Rules, and I have a few weird ones so please read them the whole way through.
1) Please don't control or kill other characters without express permission from the character's owner, or a GM
2) Be sure to send your full character sheet in a PM to Fell for Approval!
3) Feel free to post the Reduced Character Sheet at any point. Posting of a RCS does not guarantee a spot however, all Full Character Sheets must be approved!
4) Please be prepared to be active in the RP
5) RP posts will not be turn based, you snooze you lose
6) If you are inactive in the rp for more then three days without checking into the OOC it may be decided by a GM that your character needs to be controlled or killed (this decision may be made earlier if your absence is holding up pivotal plot development for everyone else)
7) Upon your third infraction of rule 6 your character will be killed off, probably in some ludicrous and ridiculous way, in order to entertain your fellow roleplayers
8) Please be polite and kind to other players, don't be rude, crude, or vulgar in the OOC, in IC characters may be rude, crude, and vulgar all that is necessary so long as it is not purposefully done in an attempt to offend the person behind the character
9) As much as I hate to say it keep the sexin' to a minimum, this isn't an RP for smut. Relationships are okay, these are people after all, and relationships are a driving force in all peoples lives, even those that aren't human, but anything past PG-13 please take it else where.
10) I and any other GMs have the power to add any additional rules as we see fit
11) HAVE FUN
