Alistair Kain

Character Sheet
Name: Alistair Kain
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Appearance: Alistair is not the tallest guy around, coming in at around 5'7" with sandy colored hair and a fair complexion. His wiry athletic build is complimented by his icy blue stare.

Abilities: Evocation specialty: Air, Thaumaturgy focus: Wards

Rote spells: Rakurai (uses his gauntlet focus item) A bolt of lightning strikes his target, it's hard to keep the power down, so Alistair will likely not use this unless the situation gets serious.
Furyoku A gust of wind rushes in the direction Alistair desires. Strength can vary from a light breeze to bone breaking force.

Special items: Gauntlet (focus item) a metal glove that helps Alistair store up electricity for any number of spells, most commonly Rakurai. A telescoping staff (collapsed length about 1.5', using a practiced movement it fully extends to 5' extremely quickly, takes longer to collapse though) Engraved with runes to help him be more versatile, with a slight focus in earth magic.

Items: Messenger bag that normally contains a notebook, pens and pencils, some chalk, a few candles, some matches, whatever novel he happens to be reading at the time, and a little bit of spending money.

Personality: Alistair is a fairly upbeat guy, always looking for the silver lining, and trying to cheer up his team with jokes and optimism, though he will occasionally become quiet and seek solitude to be alone with his thoughts.

Background: Alistair's first experience with magic was a violent one. When he was just 14 a Warlock on the run from a squad of Wardens burst into his parents home in the middle of the night and immediately began tearing the place apart trying to make it more fortified. The noise woke the whole family and as Alistair went downstairs to investigate he began to feel... Strange... he didn't know how to describe it, just new pressures being forced onto his perceptions, coupled with the sounds of roaring flame. Everything after that became a blur of images and emotions. The charred remains of his parents. Pain. A knife at his throat. Screaming. Strange faces in grey cloaks. Rushing wind. More pain. Then darkness.
When he awoke several days later one of the grey cloaked men from before introduced himself as Coleman Stryker and explained the situation. He had been taken hostage, and used his first spell to knock his parents killer away from himself, allowing the wardens to finish him off. the neural feedback of the spell caused him to black out. When he got out of the hospital he began to study and grow under Stryker, and now he does everything he can to make sure that no one ever has to go through his pain, ever again, and he joined the Wardens 2 years ago to do just that.

Jade Wong

Name: Jade Delphina Gwendolyn Ashburn-Wong
Harry’s not the only one that gets a stupidly long name!
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Appearance: Jade 5’3” and 105 lb. She has long black hair, pale skin and dark eyes. Jade is a mix of French, English and Chinese which makes her looks hard to pin down. She looks European enough to be mistaken for one but her Chinese heritage gave her features to make people think ‘She’s not quite from here is she?’ Although she seems delicate, don’t let it fool you. She’s stronger than she looks.

Abilities: Evocation= Fire, Thaumaturgy= Transportation/Worldwalking

Rote spells:
Azu- Jade’s style is precision. With this spell she is able to rapidly pull thermo energy out of a target. This appears to the naked eye like spontaneous combustion but the ‘fire’ is just the friction burn of drawing heat away so quickly.
Roux- BOOM! Well that’s what this spell is. After using Azu or if the environment has enough thermo energy, Jade can set the air on fire. The power of the spell is dependent on the heat of the place, extreme heat can create an explosion but the weaker form would be a fire quickly spreading and burning itself out.
Himi- A more traditional fire spell it looks more like Luccio’s fire. A thin lance of white fire that can be mistaken for a laser beam.

Special items:
Ring- Her main focus item. It is two rings entwined together made from white jade and green jade, lined with a band of silver and gold. She wears it on her right hand middle finger.

The Leather duster! Enchanted coat- Though not as cool as Harry’s, Jade’s coat serves a similar purpose. It's a black leather coat that reaches her midthigh. Since she’s very physical in combat it's made to withstand most blows and very fire resistant.

Obsidian Glass- This is an item that looks like a monocle. Its a piece of obsidian glass edged with gold. Its enchanted to give anyone who looks through it a weaker version of the Wizard’s sight. Its good for looking through veils, traps, and other enchantments. The one interesting aspect of this item is that it can see closed portals to the Never Never. For example, if a sorcerer went through the never never and closed the portal, the glass can see where exactly the portal was made. If it is recent enough (within 1-3 minutes of closing), the glass can connect to the exact spot. So when Jade opens a new portal, it’ll be like opening the same door connecting to the same place and time in the Never Never. Super useful in chasing people down.

Items: Hair ties (you never know when you’ll need it), Chalk, Pen and notebook, dagger

Personality: Jade is self confident and reassured and isn’t the shy type. But she is soft spoken and goes with the flow for the most part but will take initiative if she feels strongly about something. She tries not to rely on others but has been learning how to be a team player.

Background: Jade is the granddaughter of a White Council member by the name of Matthew Ashburn. From what Jade could piece together, Matthew met her grandmother while on a mission in China when he was still a young man. There was an affair and Matthew left without knowing the affair produced a child. Because of having a mixed child the family was moved to Hong Kong.Her half Chinese-English mother married a french navy officer and they had Jade.

Jade grew up relatively normal. She was athletic and intelligent and excelled in school and her martial arts. After watching so many Bruce Lee and KungFu movies she wanted to be like that. So she was enrolled in the Wing Chun school of martial arts (the same one that Bruce Lee attended). Life would have continued on normally with no sign of her developing magic until she got mixed up in a chase.

Long story short, a rogue sorcerer fled through the Never never and ended up in an alley Jade used as a short cut. After a short tussle and Jade panicking, she set the sorcerer on fire (which she later reworked in Azu). Matthew was one of the warden pursuing the sorcerer and after an awkward family reunion and lots of explanations later, he took on Jade as his apprentice.

Other: Bruce Lee nut (She’s working on her one inch punch). She still continued with her martial arts training even as an apprentice making her one of the more physical combatants of the wardens. Besides the standard Latin, she knows French, English, Cantonese-Chinese, and Mandarin-Chinese.

Wow. YOu guys got your characters done fast. Now I feel kind of bad because I said yes when the manager called and asked me to fill in a full shift t.t

Never fear. I'll have the intro post up by the day's end. It shouldn't be a problem because I get out at seven and usually don't go to sleep till around midnight or one.

@Galgarion
Kain looks good. He's approved.

@DizzyRenegade
I love the fact you named your character Jade and had her specialize in fire.. :D
So far she looks pretty good. Just let me know when your done so I can approve her. :)

@yeti100
Damien is approved.

WIP
I"m off, and I'll finish this up and set up the first post first thing when I get off.

Name: James(Jimmy) Thurber
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Appearance: Jimmy stands at 5'11 with a medium build. He's not fat, there's muscle, it's just that muscle can only do so much when your constantly eating fast foods and sweets because there's not enough time for everything else. He wears his long black hair in a ponytail. He has a rare condition which causes his eyes to be different colors(Left brown, right green.)
Abilities:
Evocation- Spirit
Thaumaturgy- Conjuration

Role spells:
Inanis-Jimmy focuses on a spot and snaps his fingers pushing everything physical out of a space the size of a soccer ball, creating a vacuum resulting in an implosion.
Lamma-Jimmy creates blades of will and launches them at opponents.
Levate-Jimmy can point at an object and then point again for where he wants the object to go. Currently the maximum weight of an object he can lift with this spell is fifty pounds and the maximum speed in which he can send it is 75 mph.

Special items:
Staff-A three foot long staff made from quebracho wood. Its his primary focus.
Gold Ring-Constantly absorbs light(Sun, stars, artificial.) Which he can released in a moment's notice. The only problem is if the ring is exposed to sunlight it quickly starts overloading so he either has to regularly empty the vessel, or wear a leather glove to keep it from light.
Magical Windbreaker- A black windbreaker jacket covered in black symbols, which when activate glow white and project a field of will which vastly decreases friction, allowing the user to move much faster.

Items: Travelling Sack, Chalk, Army Knife, pens, a small notebook, salt, and a magnetic board that you could play chess and checkers on.
Personality: Normally quiet, unless he's found someone who he's comfortable talking to. Jimmy doesn't say much but when he does its usually whatever's going on in his own internal world slipping out, ie he, he doesn't normally take time think if what he's going to say needs to be said and if it needs to be said by him. Despite always trying leave his choices up to logic Jimmy is a very emotional human being and has trouble doing things that conflict with what his heart says.
Background: Jimmy's life started easily enough. He came out of a woman after that woman had sex with a man she never saw again for the rest of her life. He grew up with a mother who though too busy sometimes, always made sure he stayed on the right track, and never hesitated to give him a good smack when she felt he wasn't veering a bit too much to the left, which didn't happen often thanks to his heroes always being those characters in comic books who went through all those negative phases before his vary eyes. This went on till around the age of eleven when he accidentally destroyed a video game arcade, and the wardens found him. They didn't execute him which was good and even gave him an opportunity to join their ranks, protect the vanilla mortals and get some extra cash to help his single mother with the bills.

I got a bit of time so I finished the profile early.

I also found out that there's a short story where Harry gives a lecture on investigations to baby wardens. It's called AAAA Wizardry, but there's only a sample of the story up online. Does anyone know where to find the full version? Lol I think it fits into this rp so I thought I'll look it up but the story seems exclusive to the dresden rp books

[yeti100]

I have the full version. It's in the front of one of the RPG books. I can paraphrase if you guys want

Yes, please

[KiltmanBagz]

Hmmmm we got a lot of diverse forms of offense going on here. I'm thinking of making something defensive now.

What does everything think of a combo of Crafter/Artificer and healer?

To elaborate, someone who is basically part field medic and field mechanic able to maintain repair and make new magic tools for the squad while patching up that big ass hole in your chest.

@KiltmanBagz

I've got some supportive magic and some wards too. Between the two of us we'd have things covered

[DizzyRenegade]

A healer is always good! I just don't know much about them since the books never go into any detail. But rote spells tend to be evocation aren't they? I think the other characters have ward as their thamauturgy so they should be pretty good in making defenses. I was going for ward too but since we have that covered I went with world walking instead.

But the point I want to make is, do whatever you think will be fun to play. If you want to be our fixer, go for it! I'll make sure to give you work to do lol. Jade is only now realizing close range combat might not be the best solution to a fight

@yeti100

Hey now, don't leave me out :P just because none of my rote spells are defensive doesn't mean I won't have defensive utility, I specalized in Wards for a reason. :)

[malmshodes]

Woo! First break. Let'ssee what I missed.

Jade is accepted:)

[TemplarKnight07]

Any more room for chars?

BTW I have a couple remarks to make about the worlds idea. Gotta be pretty careful about how these worlds are made, after all, remember the Sixth Law of Magic. It'd be shame for the wardens to all make it through their adventures only to be tried and executed for swimming against the currents of time.

Therefore, perhaps a way of thinking about them would be alternate realities, time itself has not been flown forward or against so much as side stepped. One universe could be one where the Red Court's plans were never accelerated ahead of schedule by Harry's actions and they acted on time, making that universe one where the Red Court's hegemony is supreme over the wizards.

Another could be one where the Seelie Court took the Stone Table forcibly from the Unseelie, ushering in an era of uninhibited growth in nature, one of unparalleled disease and overbearingly hot and humid climate, where nature basically re-asserts itself and global warming runs amok, to the benefit of all creatures of Summer, but making it a living hell for most everything else.

Another could be where Kemmler succeeded in his ritual in WWII, breaking the White Council's strongest forces and ushering in a new era of Black Magic becoming the standard practice, but also winning the war for the Nazis as he unleashed an army of undead upon the world and turned himself into a living god, with his disciples lording over humanity with the Nazis as pawns.

IDK those are a couple ideas I thought about, basically reversing or changing the results of a lot of scenarios, or applying a lot of the hypothetical scenarios that happened in the lore and playing around with what the world might have looked like.

@TemplarKnight07
Hey Templar, of course there's room. So go ahead and do a cs so we can start once I get home :)

Regan Shauna O'Bagley

Name: Regan Shauna O'Bagley
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Appearance: Regan Is a towering and imposing figure, Standing at a solid 6'2'' and build like your average farm hand With a musculature that speak to someone who not only spends a great deal of her time doing hard labor but who works to maintain what she'd call 'a battle ready body'. Her hair is long, fiery red, and carefully braided at all times. Her eyes a dark, subtly rich, green reminiscent of pine-trees. Her casual ware is nothing outlandish or remarkable, though given her crafting talents she tends to have a fair bit of jeweler on her when on active ops, especially when she knows what to prep for.
Abilities:
Evocation - Earth
Thaumaturgy- Crafting and Healing

Role Spells:
Domhan Bhru - This spell creates a violent surge of gravity that launches upwards with great force. amount of force varies on energy used of course.

Cre Rince- With a thrust or a swing of her wacker she causes the ground before her to ripple in a line about shoulder width apart. this can be subtle enough to be nearly undetectable with the force enough to make someone unexcitedly stumble, or violent enough that the earth splintering in the waves wake, becoming treacherous to walk on and impacts with battering ram force. Think of a pane of glass breaking in slow motion in terms of the visual. Except in a straight line.

Deisithe Lamha- Her only evocation style healing spell. Her emergency medical application so to speak. By laying hands on someone who is dangerously wounded, forcing the area to rapidly mend. It takes a massive amount of energy to perform and she must maintain physical contact with the wounded party. She'd prefer to not have to use this technique if at all possible save for emergencies where anything less that immediate action would result in the lose of life.

Speciel Items:
'The Wacker'
A sizable walking stick, almost more like a cane fit for her significant size, coming just above her waist. In truth it is an oversize shillelagh that functions as her staff. Good for earth magic's and decent for raw force, and serviceable for the various other elements outside of her expertise. Also good melee weapon, hard to beat a good old fashion cudgel for breaking heads eh?

A sliver necklace carved with all sorts of old runs, her primary defensive tool, by activating it with the phrase 'Timpeall' she creates a defensive sphere of gravity about herself, that literally causes object either orbit around her in about a 3 yard radius or if they are solid enough/coming with enough force to be rebounded back, magic/stamina allowing of course.

A pair of special gloves and boots, when she runs power through them they allow her to manipulate gravity in close proximity to those items in really rudimentary way. To repel or attract. Handy for climbing up walls, deflecting blows in close combat, or getting a really well aimed punch on a slippery foe.

'The Sack'

A large over-the shoulder messenger bag that carries her various crafting tools and medical supplies. It is be spelled leather to make it extra durable and help protect the sometimes delicate supplies inside. As such it makes a handy last minute shield.

Items: Chalk, Spools of copper, silver, and gold wire, glass vials for collecting the sort of things that need to be collected in vials, large pocket knife, swiss army knife, an ugly, old, iron pocket watch with the 5 pointed star of magic engraved on the outside of it. Pen and paper for notes/crafting plans/ect.

Personality: Regan is a...passionate young woman. She never does anything by halves and if she is going to feel something she is going to feel it strongly. This leads to her having something of a short temper though luckily she couldn't hold a grudge to save her life. She may be screaming made at you one minute but an hour later she'd half forgotten what she had even yelled about.

Background: While not super rare, Regan is one of those few born to a pair of White Counsel parents. Father was a member of the healers beneath High Councilor Listens To Wind, and her mother is known to be a warden of ridged discipline if not harshly fair when dealing with her subordinates. As Such Regan grew up mostly in the magical world and not the mortal one. Given both of her parents extremely busy life styles working for the White Counsel, A good deal of her early childhood was with great great grand parents on the family farm, where her love of physical activity and working with her hands began.

When she came into her magic she spent most of her time in a boot-camp-like apprenticeship with her parents. Given such intense tutelage and already having a good deal of her life dictated and informed by her knowledge that the supernatural was real she quickly made wizard and then warden status, even before the war began and ever hand was needed.

Others: Growing up in rural Irish farm lands with grandparents who's most advance tech was the radio and parents who could care less about the modern times, she is largely ignorant of popular culture.

Will try to get this all finished tomorrow morning, but most of the important details are here.

Edit:

Forgot to mention, but feedback, critiques, and proof reads of my work are welcome. Dyslexic and often under slept = missed errors.

@KiltmanBagz

Hey kitman. For now no worries. Just please try and get it finished sometime tomorrow. The earlier the better. I had wanted to have the first up by today but going to wait just one more day for you and Templar to get your CSs up, because it sucks to have to play catch up.

I'll look over what you have in the morning, because right now I'm beat.

[yeti100]

Hey @malmshodes I have noticed a few players with wards so far. For a bit of variety do you mind if i swap to one of the Thematic branches of Thaumaturgy. It was a branch I created in one of our RPG sessions. Basically dream magic. Tiny bit of divination for telling if someone is alseep of awake. Transformation and disruption to give them good dreams of nightmares. A smidge of wards to protect people's minds while they sleep. Transportation and Worldwalking you could use this to enter someone's dreams in the Never Never and exit through someone else's dreams. Crafting you could basically create sleeping potions. And conjuration you could give dreams solid form(only one at a time though). What do you think? If no i'll happily stick to wards, but i think variety could make this story fun.

Also @DizzyRenegade I think our characters are going to get on well. I can see me using my support magic on you, making you that much more lethal in a close-quarters fight lol
