In the year 1815, a group of adventurers and explorers found a a hidden city deep in the Amazon Jungle. They fought their way through a number of supernatural creatures, each more dangerous than the next. After several hours of conquest, they made it to the heart of the city. Two large crystals sat on pedestals in a large room with a domed roof. The leaders of the expedition, two brothers, grabbed the crystals. The brothers started to resonate with power. There was a flash and the brothers were on the ground. There comrades went to help them and asked what happened. One replied, "We have found the greatest power man will ever know." the other replied "We have to destroy these crystals, this is too much power for men to wield justly." The brothers launched into an argument and soon the city was quaking from the power of the battle. The brothers launched energy blasts and summoned earthquakes. Their comrades, seeing reason in them was lost, grabbed the crystals and wrapped them in cloth and fled the city. The brothers were crushed when the city collapsed around them. They may have died, but their argument didn't, as their comrades argued back in England what to do with the crystals. Some wanted to destroy them, others wanted to share them with the world. Either way, the crystals were used once more. Those who wanted to share them absorbed one of the crystals power and blasted their way out of the headquarters and fled for America. Those who wanted to destroy them soon followed, knowing that they would have to use the crystals to defeat their former allies. Soon, they formed groups to combat their enemies. Those who wanted to share the crystal called themselves The Society of Wizards for Humanity or SWH. Those who wanted to destroy the crystals called themselves the Magic Extermination Force or MEF. They have been fighting each other for 200 years in secret, getting manpower by stealing infants and toddlers or adopting from orphanages. They would be exposed to the crystal and receive magical capability. No one has known about these factions or this war. Until now. You are part of the SWH. You have been all your life. And due to your skill or potential, you have been chosen to participate in a very important mission. Assassinate the Vice President of the Magic Extermination Force, Rick Jaros. His death will launch this war into full effect and reveal it to the public. The SWH is counting on you. **Branches of Magic** Elemental- Elemental magic manipulates natural phenomena such as Fire, Lightning, Ice, Earth, Water, etc. Master Elemental Wizards can summon tsunamis and conjure up blizzards. Elemental Wizards tend to reflect their preferred magic type. Vitalism- Also known as the healing branch, Vitalism can seal wounds and alleviate sickness. Skilled vitalism wizards can use it for defensive and offensive purposes. Vitalism Wizards tend to be protective or nurturing. Armas- This branch allows the user to summon weapons and armor to aid them in battle. Anything from knives to rocket launchers. However, the more powerful the weapon, the more energy required. Armas Wizards tend to be reckless and brave. Shade- Shade magic is summoning creatures from The Abyss known as Shades. This is a particularly tricky magic, because Shades are unruly creatures and those who can't control them are often destroyed by them. Those who can control Shades though, are known as Shade Masters. Shade Masters tend to be commanding and cold. Shadow- Shadow magic is the ability to manipulate shadows and control them. This branch of magic is the most feared because Shadow Mages are usually brutal and precise, making them feared on both sides. Blood- Blood Magic is the manipulation of the Human body. This is the most feared and hated type of magic, because there is very little defense against it. Blood Wizards are usually exiled, imprisoned, or executed. Blood Wizards are unpredictable, one can be a psycho while another can be a gentlemen. **Rules ** 1. Don't be a punk (i.e. Have some common sense) 2. No OP characters 3.

This parrels a guild from my lore I am very tempted lol

The Mef are similar to the Slayers that you would know them umm pm me I am trying not to go into this forum three years of work is a pain in the arse to explain.

Totally gonna make a newbie.

Oh dear lord, can not wait to rp this. >.<

Alright guys, go nuts.

This looks very appealing. Question though, will u allow a little more leniance with the magics? As in...can I..i guess...create my own type of magic that doesn't necessarily fall within the 6 categories above? Or is it strictly just those?

> This looks very appealing. Question though, will u allow a little more leniance with the magics?

You can mix and match them and deviate away from them a little. But I want to keep it mostly in those areas.

Okay, gonna work on a CS real quick.

Working on a CS.

Name: He decided to cover up whatever name he had, and instead chose "Spero," which is Latin for "I Hope." Like me, Spero has a fascination with Google translate, and words in Latin. Age: 19 Gender: Male Appearance:  Magic Branch: Elemental- can use air as his second-most-powerful, but his primary is electrical. He has a slight ability in Vitalism, less in healing physical wounds, but more in calming and reassuring someone- pushing emotion through to someone to help- or possible hurt- someone. Spontaneous, in-the-moment and most definitely not static, while having a caring side that he'd be unlikely to openly admit. His defining power would label him as the "Stormbringer." Backstory: Kidnapped at age two, Spero was one of a few disappearances in a small town. The others were assorted kidnappings from criminals, but Spero was chosen for a greater purpose, saved from the possible criminal kidnappers. He didn't know much of anything besides warm-safe-large-walled was being left behind, and that made him throat-hurt-eyes-spill. Later, though after being raised by the secretive people in the underground lair, he was introduced to the crystal, younger than age 10. He was still a child, and yet he nearly electrocuted three people and killed himself in the process, before he managed to stop go lightning-y. He spent some time in isolation, practicing and eating vast amounts to support his energy use, so that he could learn to control it. It was a voluntary mission- he asked to be put in one of the padded cells they kept for a dangerous prisoner, letting the wards on the walls absorb and deflect the magic. He practiced like that for over a month, in total isolation, eating enough for three and using enough power to leave him exhausted every day. When he came out, he was a bit different. The friends he had, he stopped talking to; the things he used to like, not quite so much. He became more withdrawn, more focused. Some time afterwards, when he reached his teenage years, he was sent on a mission with a couple older mages. When he returned, he was badly shaken; he trained for several more years before going on another mission, and after this, he went on a steady flow- a month or two away, a couple weeks back, and then another month or two away. He's dedicated to the cause, even if he knows that he was kidnapped against his and his family's will.

Where is still unknown, but it was in the Panhandle of Texas- the Great Plains. Um... Actually, I don't know anything as to hint at what life might be like. Idk anything about the organization or anything at all. I can't make a good backstory if our characters weren't somewhere before, or if we have no idea about the conditions and everything where they were while in the organization. How old was he, how did he get along with his peers, what missions were assigned to him prior. How did he handle his powers. Create bits and pieces of SWH as you go along. This organization is gonna be formed as we go, so go wild. (But not too wild)

Have you guys lost interest? Is this dead? I need some feedback people.

I just need to get around to finishing my bio, I just have no clue to what to put.

Basically the same. I am just trying to get my shiz together.

Think of the SWH as the Jedi Order, if that helps any.

Me too. Thinking of a badass Scottish fire mage or somethin'.

Name: Naioma Petaldon Age: 24 Gender: Female Appearance: [Naioma](http://imgur.com/HpiXaiU "enter image title here") Magic Branch: Shadow Branch Backstory: With a family like Naioma's ....it was a good thing she was taken from school as a child. It's highly doubtful that her parents missed her all that much, both strung out on several different things all at once. Infact, her parents didn't even realize she was missing for a day or two, before they started telling their friends she'd run away. It became an easier way of life for them, both wasting away since they didn't need to buy food for someone anymore. Naioma's life instantly became better, and special, when she was taken. They told her that she would become special, that she'd understand more in a few years when she was older. All she could figure was that someone had heard her talking one night, "praying" as it were, and decided to do something for her. She honestly didn't know why she was special. That was until they were in the SWH compound that first night, walking through the halls to the crystal chamber. Before she saw it, she almost felt it, as a prickle up her spine. The adults hadn't seemed to notice anything, but then and again they saw the crystal day in and day out. They probably thought nothing of it any more. The only trouble had come when she went to touch it. Before her hand even touched the smooth sides, darkness connected her hand with it. It was an almost overpowering surge, touching the crystal making her palm ache at the same time that it woke up something inside of her. The unleashing took only a few seconds, though it seemed like ages, and when she was able to step away she was breathing hard. She could see shadows everywhere, the dark much more welcoming than the harsh lights that were over head. The adults were happy with the out come, though, so she was happy too. The next day they started training, and it all went up hill from there. The past eighteen years of her life were spent training in the SWH, becoming better at her Shadow Magic. It was almost too easy sometimes, calling in the darkness, pulling it into form. Her body became hardened, her eyes a little deader each year. On her twenty first birthday she got her first full mission, killing one of the MEF trainers before he went back to their compound. *WIP*

I'm going with a beserker. EDIT Lol I just forgot the names of two different roleplays: This one, and "When the Walls Beckon"

I think ill give this a try if there is space
