Hmm... I'm ready to begin, if everyone else is. Honestly, everything I want to add to my CS feels like it would fit better in an introductory post.
GM
Just waiting on some final CS' from people and we'll be good to go!
I think Razbat needs to get his up, as does Altered, and if no one else who expressed interest in the Int. check comes over, I'll get us an IC cooked up after they're ready

I'm also still planning on joining. I have an assignment that I need to finish before I can get my CS done. No need to wait for me though. If I don't have it up tonight, I definitely will by the time everyone gets their intro posts done.

I'll be getting mine done sometime tonight. My first week of college was rather busy, so I hadn't had time until now.
As for magic, would something like manipulating emotional energy be a valid application of magic? As a side note, this wouldn't be messing with the emotions of others, just manipulating the emotional energy.

Awesome, guys.
So Razbat, Altered, Grey, and Tali - once you guys get your sheets posted I'll get us started. I'm gonna be closing this to new applicants now, but you all obviously can post your stuff whenever.
Yeah, I hear ya -- I start school in a few days. Take your time. Define "enotional energy" though, if not the direct emotions of others?

The most comparable example would be something like the Green Lanterns. In other words, they use the energy from those emotions for a variety of purposes. I'd have to flesh it out in more detail, but that's the basic premise of the ability.
GM
i think I know what you mean. Feel free to roll with it
Magic is supposed to be unmapped and mysterious, which is why I've been possibly annoyingly vague, and why I'm pretty open to most magic and its interpretations. :p

I went a different route for my character. Hopefully it is acceptable. ^_^
Name: Franklin “Frankie” Spietato
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Occupation: Information Buyer and Seller/Politician
Appearance:
Height: 6’0 | Weight 200Lbs|Hair Color: Blonde | Hair Length: Shoulder | Eye color: Emerald Green
Personality:
When it all down to it, Frankie is a greedy, greedy man. He’s always looking for any intel he could get his hands on. He doesn’t care whether if it’s miniscule or pretty big. All he really cares about is getting the most information so that he can use it in any way he sees fit. Though, that from a business perspective. On a personal level and less douchee, he’s a lover of knowledge. He wishes to know things, he wishes to be able to absorb all the information he possibly could. This could be a reflection on why he chose the profession he did. Being an Information Buyer and Seller, Frankie is at large when it comes to people who trust them with his information. Though he might be a little too ruthless business and politics-wise, he does treasure the information he has a hold of.
Underneath the greedy, ruthless, and total shark that he is, Frankie is a guy of caring and loving natures. With his family, with his friends — he is a guy they come to for advice of any kind. It doesn’t matter if they come to him for financial advice, relationship advice or whatever, he will always lend his two cents. Granted, he’s sometimes too blunt with his words, but his heart is always in the right place and his friends and his family know that too. Conversation and attitude-wise, Frankie is the way he is when he’s giving advice: blunt and straightforward. He will never sugarcoat anything and if someone looks ugly, he’ll say it and then some. If someone does something wrong, he will call them out on his shit. Hell, if someone wants to get punched cause they feel like they deserved it, Frankie would be more than happy to oblige in doing just that. If you want someone who is teddy bear soft, then go to Oregon. Frankie is from New Jersey and New Jersieans don’t play that ballgame.

Magic/Abilities:
Datarum se Notitia(to Grant Information)
A special breed of magic that does not house individual spells to one type. Oh no, instead it pertains to the gathering of fundamentals of the essence of magic. There, Frankie can adjust what types of magic he wishes to use and in which form. Of course, at the very beginning, it will be severely limited, but as it is with knowledge, the more he will have, the more power to this magic it will have. This magic itself does not limit to just spells. It can be information of how magic works, how to manipulate magical energy for other uses or whichever it may be. This special breed of magic is very unique to Frankie due to his thirst for knowledge itself and just because of that alone, this very ability reflects off of that very desire.
Habere Improbus Audacias(To Have Ruthless Aggression)
In the modern day, to be a man such as Frankie, one has to be ruthless, one has to be aggressive, and it just so happens that is exactly what Frankie is. His conniving persona reflects in his desire to win. Granted, he’s not always in it to win, but with the information he has gathered over the time in Wall Street, he has to be ruthless and show no mercy(sometimes) to protect not only his assets, but himself as well. This would sometimes leave people to become his enemies or stab him in the back and while later on down the road he would let it go, the savvy businessman within him won’t allow that. So, this ruthlessness within him could range from blackmailing to simply persuading someone to do something for him. It also comes with a bit of charm to be able to pull all this off, obviously that’s something that Frankie has within himself.

Bio:
Despite being of multiple backgrounds, Frankie has found his home in the glorious state of New Jersey. Some might talk down about the state, but Frankie loves it wholeheartedly. He grew up around the very multi-cultured city of Atlantic. He was raised by two wonderful parents who always were outspoken about their beliefs and accepted anyone. They were never discriminating to anyone based on color of skin, religious beliefs, or ways of sexuality. They accepted any and everybody. His mother was a professional chef and his father was a traveling businessmen for government contracters. His mom was the one who raised him, but even so, Frankie has a pretty good relationship with his father.
Growing up, Frankie had always enjoyed reading. If there was anything he could get his hands on that involved reading, he would. It wasn’t the adventure he loved being on. He enjoyed just knowing stuff. It didn’t matter if it was pop culture, history, architecture or whatever. He just wanted to know things for the sake of knowing them. He enjoyed having information in his head so he can either bring up conversation with people or whatever. Granted, this was still when he was in middle school, but he still really enjoyed having said information.
As he grew older, Frankie had came to use his information to further to advance himself in his classes, and even influence certain people to follow him. As he indeed did grow older, Frankie ventured to the very gritty town of Blackmail City, as he would use the information he would gather to blackmail some people to do his bidding and, as stated, to follow him. Somewhere between middle and high school, Frankie took up the skills of computer hacking. He would just start with little things, but it eventually got to a dangerous point. Soon enough, that’s how he began his climb of being ruthless as soon as he graduated high School and moved to New York City. He would begin a whole new adventure of information-gathering in the most corrupted city of them all.
Living in NYC at the age of eighteen, Frankie became something that people call a “listener”, as he took in everything he was given. He never spoke out of turn cause he wanted to take in all the information that he could. Along the ways of this and from his life earlier, he used his skills of hacking to gain information. He would make the right friends and use the right information to further his place on Wall Street. It only took him a few years to get to a place where he was making a lot of money and investing in a lot of companies — not all of them legal. His ruthless tactics really got him a notorious reputation.
And then that’s when it happened.
As a kid, Frankie does remember reading about magic, and when he soon figured out that gaining information was becoming too easy, something about it seemed a little off to him. It wasn’t that he hated it. Actually, he would love the shit out of it, but for some reason, Frankie raised an eyebrow to it. So, that’s when he would go to read up on Magic again and all the signs were there. However, the kind of magic he remembers reading about was more along the lines of fireballs, blizzards, and lightning bolts. When he came to the realization that his magic had to do with information gathering, Frankie would definitely look into it more. Maybe if he furthered this inquiry, perhaps he would stumble upon something truly great.

Because of the lenght, do you mind putting your post in hiders for an easier reading?
It is just me, I won't insist if you decide to not do it, but I'll appreciate if you take the consideration

Sorry bout that. Didn't think anyone would have a problem with the length. Maybe I should have shortened it. D:
Not at all, my browser, which i have no choice but to use my phone, handles lengthy posts a bit clunky. You need to apologize for nothing, if anything I should for making these demands

Unfortunately, I was busier than I anticipated this past evening and I was not able to get my character done. I should be able to get that up tomorrow, however.
looking how much this is getting delayed, I urge to get the IC started as soon as possible or else people are going to loose interest
GM
Yeah, agreed, I'll get it up soon! Hopefully tonight, but no gaurantees; first day back to school tomorrow.
Personally, I've always found that the best way to encourage people to stay in a slow-starting RP is by having discussions about the RP, either in the OOC or via PMs between two or more players about their characters and how they'd interact with each other.
Pre-writing is a very important part of any writing process, even with just one person. The fact that it tends to be completely passed-over by the majority of RPs on here, where you've got four or five people writing together, just confounds me.
So, anyone have any ideas they want to discuss? Anything they'd like to get hammered out? Questions, comments, concerns, etc.
This is the place to talk about them, now, before we start. And if anyone has any questions about my character, or how he's going to interact with the other characters, please, feel free to ask me here or through a PM. I love working with others to help develop a better story.

Actually, your character, Rudolph (smith), became a mercenary 10 years ago, which would be to say 2004, and seeing how his main weapon is a magical sword I think I have to ask you if you considered that you could be a bit underwhelmed if you were to go fight against modern weaponry, such as machine guns or armored vehicles

Well, I'm mostly just a lurker, but feel free to ask me anything. I'll answer as soon as I see it.
Anyways, how are we supposed to meet? And in what sort of circumstances would they team up and stuff?

I'm not really going to be playing a character in this, but rather I'll be using various NPCs to help move you guys along. (Though some may stick around for lengthier durations than others, or indefinitely).
So essentially you guys will be drawn in together by me, and when we start we'll assume you all happen to be in the same city or close enough to it. Stuff will escalate from there.
