@Omega Man

I have to be honest.

I dunno how to write myself into the RP...

Marvels of Mountain City

Black Witch

Archetype: Mystical

Name: Morgana Pendragon / Morgan Persington
Alias: Many-Faced Witch, Black Witch, Sorceress Supreme of the Arcane Winds
Age: 25 (~2500+)

Powers: Morgan is a master wizard and magician - having control over the four elements (air, water, earth, fire) and mastery of the arcane arts. Ranging from illusion to alchemy. Due to her age, she has had a lifetime of learning to master many magical arts.

Weaknesses: Due to her age, Morgan has been forced to 'adopt' several faces behind artificial masks. As she is still human, she is unable to remember everything and thus requires time to 'remember' spells and tricks from ages past. Thus something that she may have learned during the Victorian Age may not be recalled immediately by her in the modern age. Thus, whenever she needs to utilize more 'complex' spells - she needs time to meditate and recall them or more time to cast them.

Alignment: Anti-Hero

Personality: Quirky, friendly, strange, inquisitive, mysterious.

Appearance:

Civilian

Black Witch

BRIEF Bio: Morgan Persington on the outside seems like the typical college girl, with an interest in old history and mythology. In secret, she is one of the many personalities of Morgana Pendragon - the legendary magi and witch of King Arthur. In truth, Morgana Pendragon had been a good friend and ally of King Arthur - during times where magic was slowly fading away and many saw the inevitable end of Camelot and the potential loss of all history and culture of that time.

Morgana had been chosen to carry on the 'Arcane Winds' - a magical essence, that contained the knowledge and wisdom of several countless wizards and druids of the time. In doing so, Morgana became ageless - although, as the times wore on, her duty became harder and harder as age wore out her mind and will - all the while her body remained untouched by the sands of time. Thus, Morgana Pendragon forged the first mask and would continue doing so for several centuries.

Being a wandering hermit in one life, settling down with a family in another, even hunted as a witch in some others - while helping to change history or help out 'heroes and kings' in another. Thus throughout the ages, she would wear different personalities - each one having a masked carved for them by the 'last' wearer. This has lead to the current persona, Morgan Persington to assume that the variety of masks she has 'collected' are her past lives and not herself per say. Though like many other personalities - she has remained the loyal and steadfast to those whom are her friends.

Potential Storylines: Discovering her alternative personas and trying to unravel the mystery and ultimate goal set out by Morgana Pendragon.

Notes: Dunno yet.

The Witcher: Under the Shadow

Cooky Mixer

Name: Lady Alicia Fairbright
Race: Human
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Redania
Profession: Lecturer for the Department of Chemistry of the Oxenfurt Academy

Appearance:

Personality: Alicia is the rare combination of being both inquisitive, smart and most importantly, lucky. The woman has a thousand questions for the world, even when her life is in danger - she has an attitude of being both afraid and later eager to study said creature, if she survived.

This has made her more both more approachable and super-talkative whenever she gets going on a subject or topic. Nevertheless, that doesn't diminish her honest desire to study and either help solve the ailments or mysteries that may plague people. Even if some of them, may not be able to be solved with a potion or ointment.

History: The scion and prodigy of House Fairbright, was in truth, growing up rather lonely and lacking any social contact with others. Both because, her mother had died in childbirth and her father was far too busy managing to finances and political necessities of their House. Her only brother was groomed to take over and thus, attention for her was limited or non-existent.

As Alicia mostly grew up reading books and old scrolls - a product of her great-grandfather whom had a large collection of tomes in their Estate. What interested her most was alchemy, the mixing of various plants, herbs and flowers and watching the colorful liquids that were formed. Granted, she was lucky and someways smart enough not to drink any - whenever she created something toxic or deadly.

Though, that didn't mean some of the pets and animals kept in the Fairbright Estate didn't accidentally get too close for her. One such situation ended with her father' horse, drinking a concoction she had made and farting for several weeks straight. After such an incident, her father had shipped her off to Oxenfurt Academy - to get her out, before she burned something down or injured someone important with her 'experiments'.

Granted, instead of changing Alicia embraced her new life in Oxenfurt even more eagerly. As the woman in question, had a very deep love for alchemy and especially the many reagents that made them. In a sense, she had several degrees in herbology and chemistry - choosing to become a lecturer in the Academy when she was old enough and 'safe' enough by the deans. Nevertheless, Alicia remained a free spirit - though many of things she used were either home-grown or contracted via specialized merchants - there was still a nagging feeling in her mind, that there may be other sources, other recipes that she hadn't discovered and other plants waiting for someone to discover them.

Eventually, she would be given the opportunity of a lifetime to go and explore the lands southward with a gang of other like-minded individuals.

Skills:

• Expert herbologist
• Expert alchemist
• Modest healer (mostly utilizing flora as a substitute and aid in healing, than actual understanding of human anatomy)
• Skilled explorer

Specialty: Alicia is a skilled alchemist, able to make potions, poultices, concoctions, poisons even bombs of various use and size.

Weapons: Being a woman of the mind and a noblewoman as well, Alicia doesn't have many weapons on her or much skill in them. Granted, like many others - she has been taught how to use a dagger to defend herself and has plenty of them on her for a variety of reasons. (Most of them for foraging)

Armor: Alicia doesn't wear much or any armor, preferring to wear her traveling uniform - which is tough and hard, yet not much against a bow or sword.

Misc:

• White mule; Snowberry
• Book of Herbs and Plants of the World
• Alchemist Kit (pestle/mortar, glass vials, magnifying glass, five different silver spoons)
• Herbology Kit (tweezers, harvesting knife, several dried herbs and plants, flint/steel)
• Repair Kit (needles/thread, scissors, leather, cloth)
• Backpack (waterskin, bedroll, hook, rod)

Edited my sheet and made her instead have remained in Oxenfurt until this opportunity had been given by our Northern Monarch.

The Witcher: Under the Shadow

<Snipped quote by NecroKnight>

Exactly as I said before. It's not that I need your character to be combat ready. It's that, I don't understand how she traveled alone when she isn't combat ready.

And how was she able to travel as a professor for a profession.

@POOHEAD189

I assume as a professor of alchemy, she would have to gather the things necessary for her experiments and tests herself. Since I doubt merchants would have in stock the variety of things she would need. Also, she is less a professor and more a lecturer - less bindings to hold her down.

As for travelling - would it suit her better, if she either traveled in groups or if perhaps she used her knowledge to mix up various 'warding concoctions' to keep people/monsters off her?

The Witcher: Under the Shadow

@POOHEAD189

So what would you like for me to edit to my character?

Marvels of Mountain City

@The Bork Lazer

WTF?

What more can I say?

The Witcher: Under the Shadow

@POOHEAD189

Still. There is a question that @Fetzen had asked before.

How armed/armored or skilled in martial abilities are we needed to be in order to take part in this RP?

Considering the fact that not everyone is gonna be some Geralt slicing and killing apart monsters and men. Not to mention, as the Witcher lot has presented - even a skilled knight can be torn apart by a monster.

In that regard, considering this place in also medieval society - I doubt many would be skilled with a blade or walking around in armor. Considering one takes years to learn and master - not to mention armor costs a good lot of money.

The Witcher: Under the Shadow

@NecroKnight If your character is a lecturer at Oxenfurt, how is she allowed to wander the Northern Kingdoms? A fair amount of her history works, but it's only bits and piece to a longer story, and how is it she travels around the countryside alone, with no armor or weapons in a world where there's monsters and bandits aplenty?
I'll be frank, there is nothing entirely wrong with your character other than a few little bits, but she seems more suited for a casual roleplay. And that's not an insult, I'm talking about her general style.

@POOHEAD189

As I recall, and in many other character sheets - haven't the monster population dropped considerably by now? I mean, by now we have thoughts by people that Witchers aren't a necessary thing and are shunned by others. That tells me, that the monster population isn't so high that people can't visit their woods and more or less along similar lines to an encounter with a bear or wolf. You know they are around but you aren't gonna walk into one every time you go for a walk.

As for bandits. Same thing - I doubt any kingdom or government would allow bandits to roam the roads - considering in medieval times, those were important sources of trade and travel. I assume there are patrols around to make sure such people aren't an issue.
