1x1 Variety Search - FxF 18+ High Casual

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! I am terrible at introductions and talking about myself without prompts. So this is gonna be weird. Anyways!

You can call me Salty! Or Spitoon! Or Sassafras McGilligan! Whatever you'd like! I enjoy writing stories and becoming overly attached to the characters I create! I enjoy romance mixed into, at least in 1x1's, my stories! I also find myself more comfortable writing FxF pairings. Though I am not opposed to other romantic pairings I am currently craving a cute FxF pairing. So if you are not comfortable or not looking for that I don't think this will be for you; at least at this time. Uhhh.... I can't think of anything else to put here so if you have questions, Ask! I don't bite! Unless we establish a safe word and you're over the age of 18!

What I expect of my partners:

• Masterful control of the English Language! (I am kidding, I understand grammatical mistakes happen. I make them myself. As long as what you write makes sense and I can follow along with what you're trying to portray, we're good!)
• At least a reply once a week! More is ABSOLUTELY welcome! I try to check the site frequently and I can most like reply AT LEAST once a day, but life happens. Life > RP. Try your best to get a post a week and we'll be good! And if things come up, just let me know! :)
• No One-liners. Except for heavy dialogue situations one-liners are deal breakers. I write at a high-casual to Advanced level and my partner needs to be at least a strong mid-casual writer for this to work for me.
• 18+. I love true stories with grit and reality. Cursing, violence, tender night time touching, etc will be involved in the stories I like to write. I am over the age of 18 and I require my partners to be as well. And in that vein I prefer to NOT fade-to-black during "intimate" scenes. I know this is a deal breaker for some people.
• Character sheets. I like to create character sheets for our characters. I sometimes need a reminder for even my own creations so I have no hope of remembering the details of my partners. They don't need to be in-depth but I do require them.
• Help! I don't want to be a GM for our story for you to just tag along with. Feel free to pull turns in our story. Feel free to open dialogue with me OOC to talk plot ideas for our story! This is collaborative, we both need to be involved!

What you can expect from me:

• Hi-fives popping fresh out the kitchen!
• A goober overly attached to our creation together that loves story plotting with you about where our characters could potential go!
• High-casual level of writing. Sometimes I can go over the top with my replies but I at the very least can promise you won't receive less than a long paragraph in reply!
• Open communication! If things are going on and it's making my replies slow, I have an 87% guarantee of letting you know before it's been too long between replies!

And that's that for expectations on both ends! I am open to basically all genre's and pairings as long as the premise is intriguing and something we can really play with! While I have a few plot ideas I am open to any good story. So if you have a particular craving (That can have romance and FxF pairing) let me know! I would love to hear it!

Plot Reservoir

Synthetic Soul - Futuristic Scifi

Year 2143
The world is split between classes. Those with money having built walls to keep the less fortunate out. Cybernetics, androids, and the like are rather normal. Even among the impoverished cybernetics aren't considered a luxury; they are a means of life for all. Though the degree in quality is vast.

--

The story will be between your character having a knowledge of cybernetics and mechanical engineering and my character, a broken down android found by your character and brought back to your home and repaired. For whatever reason your character is a recluse and despises leaving their home and has been trying to build an android from scraps for years to take care of her and run errands in her stead; as well as forming some mild semblance of companionship. Fate struck one late night as your character was searching the junk heap and she stumbles upon a relatively intact android tossed out by the Elites. Your character drags my broken character back home and repairs her with the scraps that YC has collected over the years.

Through the story we will explore what makes something/someone human. What dictates having a soul means. Can an android have true free will? Are androids incapable of humanity? Are they restricted to their programming or can they be as human as anyone else?

This story is roughly based in the world of Alita: Battle Angel; for reference.

Lost Lore - Any Setting Supernatural

This can be set in modern times, past, future, whatever. It can even be set in different cultural settings.

The general premise is a world were the supernatural is real. Depending on the setting the knowledge of the supernatural can be known or kept in the shadows. But one of our characters will be a "Justicar", a person tasked to destroy the supernatural that have gotten out of control. Now the other character could be a random pedastrian pulled into this world, a novice Justicar put under the senior to learn, or whatever.

This idea is VERY bare bones so we would need to work together to form a real story from it.

Our Truth - Modern Slice of Life

This story involves two girls in their senior year of highschool. They are just beginning they're senior year and have been friends since they were freshmen, best friends since Junior year. They share every detail of their lives to each other. Except one. One of our characters will have a huge crush on the other, discovering her sexuality from their friendship and how their emotions went beyond just friends. As their senior year begins the closeted girl will decide to confess somehow, someway. They have one year left guaranteed together. She can't wait any longer or else the time they could possibly be together would be wasted.

How does the other girl react? She loves the girl, but does she love her in that way? Has it been something she thought in passing but never really brought up with herself? SOmething she buried away even from herself? Will the other girl have felt the same way all along but felt she couldn't say anything for fear of losing the friendship?

I am fine playing either role for this one. :)

Will continue to add plot ideas as they come to me. :)

-- Playground 3 hours prior --

Off in an empty playground sat Jo on a bench on the other side of the park, as far away from the parking lot as the area allowed. Jo's left ankle resting on her knee and an old looking book over the plateau her leg made. Jo had considered attempting some new runes, though those available to her weren't exactly something she could try on her own. So that only left spell she could practice. Her eyes carefully scanned the pages of Solaris Mico; a powerful Solar spell that infuses Condensed Light Magic into the user and cycles that energy throughout the body until it turns the User into a blinding flash of light.

She had gone over the pages at least three times as she sat on the bench, nervously brushing her long hair behind her ear. This wouldn't be her first time she had attempted this spell. She knows how poorly it could go if performed incorrectly. She would basically be taking a blast of Condensed Light Magic straight to the chest. Sighing in defeat she decided it was about time to test herself on. Continuing to read the pages has lost its usefulness for the time being without actual implementation. Jo casually reformed the earmark on the page before closing the book and setting it on the bench beside her, pushing herself up to her feet.

Jo took several steps away form the bench, taking a moment to ease her nerves and settle her mind. She took a wide footing and brought her hands up over her chest. Placing her finger tips together and creating a hand cage she closed her eyes and focused herself, attuning herself to the flow of magic that flowed through her and the world that surrounded her. Magically light began to spark across her forearms and into her hands. From her palms shot small streams of light that slammed into a focal point in the center of her hand cage. Slowly the light grew until it was too bright too see the function of the spell. Simply a bright light radiating out from her hand cage.

Sweat began to bead over her brow, her arms faintly twitching as she began to strain. Slowly the bleeding light slowly seemed to pull inward back into the hand cage. As the Light Magic began to condense sparks of violent energy. Over the course of fifteen seconds the light condensed down into a ball nearly the size of a tennis ball, sparking and swirling within the hand cage.

"Solaris Mico!" Jo's voice powerfully boomed through the empty playground.

As her words finished she took the caged ball of condensed light and slammed it into her chest, disappearing into herself. Immediately she threw her arms out away from herself as described in the book. Her eyes clenched even tighter closed as she felt the Condensed Magic burst inside her and begin to spread throughout her.

Something went wrong.

Jo suddenly cried out in agony, a shriek of pain escaping her lips. Feeling as though hot coals were rocketing violent through her veins out from the core of her body. Her skin began to glow brilliantly, though in streaks and not the blending light as intended. It took only five seconds before the light dissipated and left her, faint red burn lines scattered having formed sporadically over her skin.

Jo dropped to her knees, sitting down on her ankles and slumping into herself. Breathing heavily as she tried to overcome the searing sensation that her body was left with. Unsuccessful, again. She groaned angrily to herself in frustration. She tried pushing herself to her feet but collapsed back into herself. She took a few more breaths and gave herself some time regain some strength. She then weakly pushed herself back to her feet. Taking a long moment to gain confidence in her foot she finally walked back to the bench, basically falling back onto the seat. She stretched out her left leg and straightened herself out a bit before stuffing her hand into her left pocket, pulling her small notepad and pen from it.

Flipping through her notepad in search for a blank page she finally found one, clicking open her pen she began to write.

_{Solaris Mico Test #7: Failed
Stance: Potentially Incorrect.
Cast: Potentially Correct.
Stability: Likely Unstable.
Conclusion: Condense Magic seemingly unstable. Potentially a Form or Focus issue. Requires more research. Attempt at lower levels to practice finer control and stability.
Note: Don't be dumb Jo. This time you hurt yourself so show some restraint.}

With that she closed her pen and notepad, clipping the pen to the pages before stuffing it back into her pocket. She hung her head back as she remained on the bench. Moaning disheartedly to herself. Feeling mildly defeated at present. And sore, sore was definitely a prominent sensation.

-- Conference Room: Serval Industries --

Having given herself a couple hours at home to shower and rest Jo was feeling much better after her failed attempts. Though even during her rest her mind never left the thoughts of what went wrong during the spell. She ultimately came to no finite conclusion on the matter. It would take time, she needed to remind herself to practice patience.

Jo entered the facility with relative ease, kindly greeting security as she passed through. Though she remembered few of their names she did her best to at least appear like she remembered them all. Finally reaching her destination she pushed herself into the room quietly, not wanting to draw much attention to herself at this point. She was a newbie, no reason to look like a stumbling loud baffoon during her first mission briefing.

With struggling grace she walked to the end of the table, taking notice of the girl standing nearby in the corner. For a split moment she thought it was Layla, though she shook the thought quickly. The only similarity was the hair; lightly scolding herself for coming to such a quick and ridiculous conclusion off something so minuscule.

Jo continued towards her seat. Wearing a simple charcoal tank top, black leather jacket she left open, black torn jeans and high top boots. Her long dirty blonde hair messily pushed over to the right side.

As she reached the last chair she pulled it out and sat herself down. While she had mostly regained herself after her little snafoo she was still a bit sore; deciding sitting was the best course of action. While waiting for the meeting to begin she produced her notepad once again out of her pants. She opened the small notepad and flipped the the countless pages, all filled with randomly chicken scratch writing and small doodles. Finally settling on a page she began to read. Looking over the few pages she had written down notes on the Solaris Mico spell.

After a short time of study the meeting seemed to begin she focused on the mission. Absently closing her notepad and stuffing it back into her pocket.

As the mission details became more clear she felt an odd sense about it. They were supposed to track down the other members and bring them back? They were established heroes. At least within this organization. There had to be a reason they would do something such as that. Jo glanced around the room, locking eyes with the girl in the corner for a brief moment. Apparently Jo wasn't the only one confused. But that was their mission. They would figure out the reason and bring them back. Seemingly straight forward. They were all the good guys after all. There shouldn't be too much fuss. Right?

She then turned her attention as she heard another of the members speak up. She hid the surprise and concern from showing. Incapacitate them? They were relatively seasoned heroes. She didn't know what the others were capable of but Jo still had so much more to learn. Jo is best more in a supportive role. She can defend herself with her Orbis Luminis but that could even still use far more training. Despite the fact she has relatively remarkable control over them she has hardly used them in real combat scenarios.

She shook the thoughts from her mind. This was the time she would prove herself. She wasn't some old witch hiding out in the woods, shrieking spells over a cauldron. She was a hero. They did not falter in the face of difficult odds. They were steadfast and brave.

She really, REALLY hoped it didn't come to fighting. At least not against other heroes.

Spell Repository

Spells:

Orbis Luminis
_{Within a flowing circling of her arms Jo pulls magical light out of the air, condensing it into a floating disk that covers about the size of her abdomen. Jo can manipulate this sturdy disks of condensed light freely within a six foot radius around herself. These disks can be thrown beyond her six foot radius; Though they follow their path up until twenty feet from Jo before dissipating. She can have, currently, no more than 2 disks created at any one time.
NOTE: Jo can create these disks without the proper gesture, though they aren't nearly as sturdy.}

Solaris Mico
_{Jo creates a hand cage over her chest and focuses for a short period of time. Generating magical light within the hand cage and condenses it into a tightly bound ball of Magical Light Energy. Once created she slams the Condensed Magical Light orb into her chest and immediately thrusts her arms out to either side. A rapid, violent light scorches through her entirety until it completely covered her in a blinding flash of light. All those that do not divert their gaze in time become disoriented and blinded for a period of time.
NOTE: This process takes about 30 seconds to come to completion and is very physically taxing for Jo; As the condensed Magical Light basically tears through her body in the process.}

Ignis
_{With this Jo can create a small flame floating above her palm. This only really serves as a replacement lighter at this time.}

Somnum
_{A sleep spell. Though Jo has yet to figure out how to use this on others. It has only put her to sleep instantaneously. She is incredibly embarrassed of this and will tell NO ONE she knows this spell. Period.}

Runecraft:

Protect Mind
_{Simple mind protection rune. Placed on an item and powered will lay dormant until activated by a mental attack against the possessor of the runed item. Once activated it will feel as if your brain is being clenched in a vice, and the protection only lasts 3 minutes long. This Rune will protect its owner from powers of any degree of supernatural mental attack. It will not effect poisons, toxins, or drugs that effect mental faculties.}

Stasis Lock
_{Once drawn and activated will put whatever object, person, or thing into a state of complete stasis. This effect lasts until broken or up to one full hour. Best used on injured targets needing additional time to get help. This Rune requires a great deal of concentration and is not suitable in a combat setting as of yet.}

Influence
_{A rune drawn on a person makes them an influencer, after the rune is powered the Influencer would than touch another person with the rune marking, connecting the two. The touched becomes the Influenced, being easily influenced by the Influencer. This effect lasts up to twenty-four hours (depending on the willpower of the bound) and diminishing over that time. Ranging from completely agreeable to vaguely agreeable as it reaches its completion. There can only be one Influencer and one Influenced pairing at any given time. No one Influencer can have two Influenced.}

Primal Berserking
_{A large, intricate Rune drawn on a large piece of paper she places on the bare skin of the upper back of a person. With an activation spell the paper ignites and sears the Rune onto the skin. Once the rune is seared to the skin Jo has to enchant the Rune with energy. Once completed it put the wielder of the Rune into a state of frenzy, losing their mind in exchange for equivalent power. The more they let their mind slip the more power they get.
NOTE: The limited practice she has with this rune in practice she can only sustain the rune for 10 minutes. Though the target can retain hold of it in a worse case scenario, continuing to pull energy from Jo against her will. Potentially fatal for Jo if she can't keep control of the power flow. And the more the target mind slips the less they are aware who their enemies are. This Rune DOES NOT need to be written on paper, it can be drawn directly on the skin but takes a considerable amount of time and focus. The Rune would still sear to the skin once activated.}

Bolster
_{Organic Material - If used on a person this rune will increase their physical and metaphysical capabilities by double their current maximum limit. This Functions as Jo becoming a Conduit of energy that pulls from her magical reserves into another to increase their abilities. Depending on the amount pulled from her dictates how long she can keep the rune functional. The maximum degree the target is capable of is directly correlated with how much of her energy it pulled over time. Those with already high capabilities will pull more than those with low capabilities. Though this also infers a greater yield with those with the higher capabilities.
Inorganic Material - If placed upon an inorganic object it will greatly improve its strength. Making a cardboard box as strong as oak, stone as strong as steel.}

Tracking
_{A rune placed on a small object that emits a pull on the designated tracker. A Tracker Rune would have to be placed on a person that feels the pull of the tracking rune.}

Soul-Bond
_{A marriage ritual and Runic bond between two people. This process requires a very intimate ritual and body markings. This process is primarily done in Ancient Nordic Marriages to bind the souls of betrothed together for eternity. This rune allows the two to connect on a intensely personal level, able to feel a small degree of what the other feels no matter the distance between them.
NOTE: Jo does not tell people of this Rune/Ritual.}

Sacred Lands
_{Incredibly powerful and taxing rune to perform. Jo would spill her charcoal ink onto the ground and slam her hand into the pool of ink. With an incantation the ink spreads out over a fifteen foot radius around Jo and forms a intricate runic circle. Once formed Jo blasts the runic circle with her own Life Essence, activating the rune. Once activated all within the runic circle will feel a rush of restorative energy healing wounds and restoring strength, vegetation rapidly growing within the circle.
NOTE: This spell is INCREDIBLY dangerous for Jo and she is insanely hesitant to ever use it. One miscalculation in the amount of life force she pushes into the Runic Circle could tear her apart from the inside; At present she doesn't have the practice in this rune to perfectly dictate the flow of her own life force into it. It is tremendously taxing and will only EVER be used as a last resort.}

Personal Style:

The best description for Jo's fashion sense is gender-fluid. She easily and often switches from feminine dresses and rompers to masculine leather jackets, jeans, and boots. One could hardly say she's resigned into any one style of clothing. While, despite what she might say, she does care a great deal how she looks but simply hasn't found a singular aesthetic that really fits how she feels she wants to display herself. So she has an amalgamation of styles at her disposal she can draw from depending on how she's feeling at any given moment. As for makeup and accessories she's rather minimalist. She isn't for flashy or eye catching. So she rarely wears any accessories, save for her locket, and maybe a simple bracelet at times. With makeup she adheres to a less is more approach; favoring natural tones that mask any blemishes and highlight certain features without being too obvious. Though 60% of the time she doesn't wear any makeup.

Personality:

While Jo may appear kind and giving she always has a thought in the back of her mind that the person can't be ultimately trusted. This leads to her often keeping personal details about herself close to the chest; though she will readily offer an ear to anyone. Jo is a self proclaimed confidant and aptly able to keep a secret. Harboring her own secrets, keeping others is quite easy for her. From this she has become rather adept at hiding behind emotional masks.

Beyond Jo's willingness to listen and help those in need she is most often found quietly kept to herself. She likes to spend her time either studying or practicing her spellcraft/runecrafting. When put in situations where studying or practicing isn't available she would often be found off in the corner, her eyes scanning across the room and intently listening to the happenings around her. She isn't much for speaking up unless addressed directly. While very intelligent for her age she also knows how little she knows about a great many things outside of her passions; this coming from a deep seeded insecurity of appearing unintelligent or ignorant.

History

Why did you join X-Factor?:

Jo was approached by Serval Industries shortly after her eighteenth birthday. Apparently she has been on their watch list for Lord knows how long. While there wasn't anything particularly spectacular about Jo's abilities she was using them for less than saintly purposes. Free meals, lodging, etc. Nothing inherently evil though unjust. When approached she was given an ultimatum; Join the X-Factor and use and develop her powers for good or a detention center.

It was an easy decision, though primarily as a means to further progress in her studies of magic.

General History:

-- Childhood --

Jolene Martha Meyers was born a normal girl in a normal family to a Pastor father and Elementary School Teacher mother in a small town in New York. The town only had the one church that her father lead, so most people knew the family very closely. Nearly the entire congregation visited baby Jolene after she was born, gushing over the perfect family precious little blessing.

-- Youth --

Young Jolene was recently turned fifteen years old, still in the same small town, going to the same church her father lead. Jolene having the pressures of her parents image crushing down on her shoulders. Needing to look prim and pristine at all times. Not deter from her path. Do as she is told. Follow the teachings of the bible. The whole deal. It felt like every morning before she left the house she had to take a test. Her clothes modest, her hair and makeup done perfect, her attitude in check, and everything in proper order. Everyone in town knew her and her family, and if there were any slip ups or mistakes it would find its way to her parents and she would catch hell.

One day after school she was out looking through the local strip mall with her closest friend, Layla Kline. Layla was considered by the town a trouble maker, but Jolene convinced her parents she was trying to get Layla back on the right path. In truth Jolene loved spending time with Layla because she was everything Jolene wasn't allowed to be. It was exciting just being around someone with such little cares in the world; such a innocent spirit that let her desires guide her.

While Jolene and Layla were out walking around the strip mall they came across a small book shop she had crossed hundreds of times in her short life. But something was different this time. Something drew attention to it. Something strong enough she couldn't help herself but go in. She followed the pull through the store towards the back wear a few boxes lay, opened though filled with books not yet shelved.

Jolene began to carefully pull books out of the box, Layla asking what she was looking for though Jolene hardly heard her. There it was, pulling a book away from the middle and near the bottom and old looking book with partially faded letters resided. She picked it up in her slender fingers and looked over it carefully. Like a mother over her new born child. She had to have it. Jolene looking back up to Layla with an innocent smile. "I've been looking everywhere for this book." she lied. Layla laughing and shaking her head in a facade of not caring. She quickly paid for the book and ended the day with Layla to go immediately home.

-- The Rise --

Over the next six months Jolene read from cover to cover at least a dozen times. It was a book about Magic. Most scholars would say it was a book on the myths of magic and how ancient civilizations 'practiced' magic. But it was real. After her second time reading through it she decided to try one. A seemingly simple one. A sleep spell. It took her a few tries to get the words and gestures right, but when it succeeded she instantly collapsed into unconsciousness, sleeping nearly twelve hours before waking again. She was in thrilled disbelief. This was real. This whole book was real. She needed to tell someone, anyone, just not her parents or anyone who would tell her parents. So that left only one person, Layla. Jolene fumbled with her phone in excitement to text her to come over as soon as possible.

Layla thought Jolene was crazy at first, until Jolene created a small flame floating above her palm out of thin air.

For weeks they spent nearly every day together at an old playground no one visited anymore; covered in vines and moss. It was perfect and discreet. Layla tried to do the magic within the book but it never worked for her, only Jolene. Jolene had a strange connection to it Layla simply didn't. Though Layla didn't seem to mind too terribly much, as long as she was there along for the ride. Over this time Jolene filled notebooks upon notebooks with notes and tips to help remind her the small nuances she learned from day to day with magic. Practicing drawing small runes the book particularly emphasized on.

Layla and Jolene became incredibly close during this time, Jolene getting her nickname Jo from the other. Jo recounts the times as the two being inseparable. During this time Jo got her first kiss, and more. She learned who she truly was. Who she always was, who she was always hiding from everyone. Their romance a wildfire that pushed magic aside for a time.

-- The Fall --

One morning Jo was angrily shaken awake in the morning by her father. Him yelling something unintelligible to her drowsy mind. She quickly sat up, fearing the worst that her parents found out about her and Layla. As her mind cleared and she was finally able to understand the words and noticed the book he was displaying her heart sank. He found her book of magic. He yelled at her for practicing witch craft, the devil, etc etc. He was a whirlwind of anger and nearly to the point of striking her there in the bed. Most of the words have faded over time, though the bite at her heart from his anger still clings to her to this day.

Before she knew it he proclaimed he would fix her. Like she was broken, shattered and nearing worthless. And he would start by burning this heretical book of lies and demonology. He stormed out of her room and down stairs towards their fire place. Jo running after him pleading with him to stop and to listen and understand it wasn't evil. It was beautiful. But he heard none of it. WIthout hesitation he threw the book into the flame, though Jo didn't hesitate either. She rushed past him and pulled the book from the flames, burning her fingers in the act. She spun to face him, arms clung tight around the book defensively. He stared at Jo with fire in his eyes before raising a hand and striking it across her cheek with enough force to send her stumbling across the room and crashing into the couch. She faced him again, her eye bloodshot from the force though she didn't hold her cheek; they remained tight around the book. He then told her no devil worshiping witch would live in his home and told her it was the book or her that was leaving.

Jo hesitated, but quickly bolted off the couch and out of the house. She went to the only place she could think of, Layla's house. She knocked frantically on the door and when Layla finally opened the door she explained everything. Asking if she could stay with her and her dad, but she sadly refused. In truth Layla did this to protect Jo, she knew who her father truly was and Jo wouldn't have been safe there either. But Jo thought Layla also abandoned her, and before Layla could explain she ran off. Layla calling out for her to stop and wait, but Jo ignored the calls.

-- Present Day --

For over the past two years Jo had been living on her own in New York City. Using her magic to influence others to help her survive. Giving her free lodging, giving her free meals, etc. Stay as long as she could in one place before she had to move around again within the city. She abandoned her old life. Her old bonds. Refusing to build other bonds that could ultimately be torn apart and leave her abandoned again. She was surviving. Looking for new knowledge in magic, though she found hardly anything in this time. A few small books on rudimentary magic and the like. Nothing like her first book that she keeps with her to this day.

• Description: With this Jo can create a small flame floating above her palm.
• Notes: This only really serves as a replacement lighter at this time.

---

Somnum.

• Type: Enchantment.
• Description: A sleep spell. Though Jo has yet to figure out how to use this on others. It has only put her to sleep instantaneously.
• Notes: She is incredibly embarrassed of this and will tell NO ONE she knows this spell. Period.

---

Influence.

• Type: Rune.
• Description: A rune drawn on a person makes them an influencer, after the rune is powered the Influencer would than touch another person with the rune marking, connecting the two. The touched becomes the Influenced, being easily influenced by the Influencer. This effect lasts up to twenty-four hours (depending on the willpower of the bound) and diminishing over that time. Ranging from completely agreeable to vaguely agreeable as it reaches its completion.
• Notes: There can only be one Influencer and one Influenced pairing at any given time. No one Influencer can have two Influenced.

---

Bolster.

• Type: Rune.
• Description: Organic Material - If used on a person this rune will increase their physical and metaphysical capabilities by double their current maximum limit. This Functions as Jo becoming a Conduit of energy that pulls from her magical reserves into another to increase their abilities. Depending on the amount pulled from her dictates how long she can keep the rune functional. The maximum degree the target is capable of is directly correlated with how much of her energy it pulled over time. Those with already high capabilities will pull more than those with low capabilities. Though this also infers a greater yield with those with the higher capabilities.
  Inorganic Material - If placed upon an inorganic object it will greatly improve its strength. Making a cardboard box as strong as oak, stone as strong as steel.
• Notes:

Tracking.

• Type: Rune.
• Description: A rune placed on a small object that emits a pull on the designated tracker. A Tracker Rune would have to be placed on a person that feels the pull of the tracking rune.

Spells to Potentially Learn

Basic Magics and Runic Disciplines

_{By: Ivan Mikelsson}

Spells:

Solaris Mico
_{Jo creates a hand cage over her chest and focuses for a short period of time. Generating magical light within the hand cage and condenses it into a tightly bound ball of Magical Light Energy. Once created she slams the Condensed Magical Light orb into her chest and immediately thrusts her arms out to either side. A rapid, violent light scorches through her entirety until it completely covered her in a blinding flash of light. All those that do not divert their gaze in time become disoriented and blinded for a period of time.
NOTE: This process takes about 30 seconds to come to completion and is very physically taxing for Jo; As the condensed Magical Light basically tears through her body in the process.}

Runecraft:

Protect Mind
_{Simple mind protection rune. Placed on an item and powered will lay dormant until activated by a mental attack against the possessor of the runed item. Once activated it will feel as if your brain is being clenched in a vice, and the protection only lasts 3 minutes long. This Rune will protect its owner from powers of any degree of supernatural mental attack. It will not effect poisons, toxins, or drugs that effect mental faculties.}

Stasis Lock
_{Once drawn and activated will put whatever object, person, or thing into a state of complete stasis. This effect lasts until broken or up to one full hour. Best used on injured targets needing additional time to get help. This Rune requires a great deal of concentration and is not suitable in a combat setting as of yet.}

Primal Berserking
_{A large, intricate Rune drawn on a large piece of paper she places on the bare skin of the upper back of a person. With an activation spell the paper ignites and sears the Rune onto the skin. Once the rune is seared to the skin Jo has to enchant the Rune with energy. Once completed it put the wielder of the Rune into a state of frenzy, losing their mind in exchange for equivalent power. The more they let their mind slip the more power they get.
NOTE: The limited practice she has with this rune in practice she can only sustain the rune for 10 minutes. Though the target can retain hold of it in a worse case scenario, continuing to pull energy from Jo against her will. Potentially fatal for Jo if she can't keep control of the power flow. And the more the target mind slips the less they are aware who their enemies are. This Rune DOES NOT need to be written on paper, it can be drawn directly on the skin but takes a considerable amount of time and focus. The Rune would still sear to the skin once activated.}

Soul-Bond
_{A marriage ritual and Runic bond between two people. This process requires a very intimate ritual and body markings. This process is primarily done in Ancient Nordic Marriages to bind the souls of betrothed together for eternity. This rune allows the two to connect on a intensely personal level, able to feel a small degree of what the other feels no matter the distance between them.
NOTE: Jo does not tell people of this Rune/Ritual.}

Sacred Lands
_{Incredibly powerful and taxing rune to perform. Jo would spill her charcoal ink onto the ground and slam her hand into the pool of ink. With an incantation the ink spreads out over a fifteen foot radius around Jo and forms a intricate runic circle. Once formed Jo blasts the runic circle with her own Life Essence, activating the rune. Once activated all within the runic circle will feel a rush of restorative energy healing wounds and restoring strength, vegetation rapidly growing within the circle.
NOTE: This spell is INCREDIBLY dangerous for Jo and she is insanely hesitant to ever use it. One miscalculation in the amount of life force she pushes into the Runic Circle could tear her apart from the inside; At present she doesn't have the practice in this rune to perfectly dictate the flow of her own life force into it. It is tremendously taxing and will only EVER be used as a last resort.}

The Uncanny X-Babies - Concluded

@Salty Spitoon

Ok, just one thing I can really see...
Who is she apprenticed to? It says she's an apprentice to?
If you mean that she's still learning to be a sorcerer and still learning magic, just put sorcerer and then in parenthesis or something that she's still learning to make things a little easier to read.

Other then that she's good to move over!

@BlueSky44

Oh, I was more referencing level of skill than position :P

While she has become nearly masterful of what she has learned from her Book she knows (or rather has a strong belief) there is so much more out there that magic can do that she's simply not learned/experienced yet. She has a large understanding of magic and magic-theory though simply hasn't had the opportunity to learn from a Master or Find the books she would need to implement her knowledge of the practice.

Her knowledge of Magic primarily resides in Runecrafting and implementation. The book taught her a few spells outside of Runes though minimally in comparison. She has an extreme desire to learn more practical magic.

Will adjust accordingly :)

So she has an amalgamation of styles at her disposal she can draw from depending on how she's feeling at any given moment. As for makeup and accessories she's rather minimalist. She isn't for flashy or eye catching. So she rarely wears any accessories, save for her locket, and maybe a simple bracelet at times. With makeup she adheres to a less is more approach; favoring natural tones that mask any blemishes and highlight certain features without being too obvious. Though 60% of the time she doesn't wear any makeup.

History

Why did you join X-Factor?:

Jo was approached by Serval Industries shortly after her eighteenth birthday. Apparently she has been on their watch list for Lord knows how long. While there wasn't anything particularly spectacular about Jo's abilities she was using them for less than saintly purposes. Free meals, lodging, etc. Nothing inherently evil though unjust. When approached she was given an ultimatum; Join the X-Factor and use and develop her powers for good or a detention center.

It was an easy decision, though primarily as a means to further progress in her studies of magic.

General History:

-- Childhood --

Jolene Martha Meyers was born a normal girl in a normal family to a Pastor father and Elementary School Teacher mother in a small town in New York. The town only had the one church that her father lead, so most people knew the family very closely. Nearly the entire congregation visited baby Jolene after she was born, gushing over the perfect family precious little blessing.

-- Youth --

Young Jolene was recently turned fifteen years old, still in the same small town, going to the same church her father lead. Jolene having the pressures of her parents image crushing down on her shoulders. Needing to look prim and pristine at all times. Not deter from her path. Do as she is told. Follow the teachings of the bible. The whole deal. It felt like every morning before she left the house she had to take a test. Her clothes modest, her hair and makeup done perfect, her attitude in check, and everything in proper order. Everyone in town knew her and her family, and if there were any slip ups or mistakes it would find its way to her parents and she would catch hell.

One day after school she was out looking through the local strip mall with her closest friend, Layla Kline. Layla was considered by the town a trouble maker, but Jolene convinced her parents she was trying to get Layla back on the right path. In truth Jolene loved spending time with Layla because she was everything Jolene wasn't allowed to be. It was exciting just being around someone with such little cares in the world; such a innocent spirit that let her desires guide her.

While Jolene and Layla were out walking around the strip mall they came across a small book shop she had crossed hundreds of times in her short life. But something was different this time. Something drew attention to it. Something strong enough she couldn't help herself but go in. She followed the pull through the store towards the back wear a few boxes lay, opened though filled with books not yet shelved.

Jolene began to carefully pull books out of the box, Layla asking what she was looking for though Jolene hardly heard her. There it was, pulling a book away from the middle and near the bottom and old looking book with partially faded letters resided. She picked it up in her slender fingers and looked over it carefully. Like a mother over her new born child. She had to have it. Jolene looking back up to Layla with an innocent smile. "I've been looking everywhere for this book." she lied. Layla laughing and shaking her head in a facade of not caring. She quickly paid for the book and ended the day with Layla to go immediately home.

-- The Rise --

Over the next six months Jolene read from cover to cover at least a dozen times. It was a book about Magic. Most scholars would say it was a book on the myths of magic and how ancient civilizations 'practiced' magic. But it was real. After her second time reading through it she decided to try one. A seemingly simple one. A sleep spell. It took her a few tries to get the words and gestures right, but when it succeeded she instantly collapsed into unconsciousness, sleeping nearly twelve hours before waking again. She was in thrilled disbelief. This was real. This whole book was real. She needed to tell someone, anyone, just not her parents or anyone who would tell her parents. So that left only one person, Layla. Jolene fumbled with her phone in excitement to text her to come over as soon as possible.

Layla thought Jolene was crazy at first, until Jolene created a small flame floating above her palm out of thin air.

For weeks they spent nearly every day together at an old playground no one visited anymore; covered in vines and moss. It was perfect and discreet. Layla tried to do the magic within the book but it never worked for her, only Jolene. Jolene had a strange connection to it Layla simply didn't. Though Layla didn't seem to mind too terribly much, as long as she was there along for the ride. Over this time Jolene filled notebooks upon notebooks with notes and tips to help remind her the small nuances she learned from day to day with magic. Practicing drawing small runes the book particularly emphasized on.

Layla and Jolene became incredibly close during this time, Jolene getting her nickname Jo from the other. Jo recounts the times as the two being inseparable. During this time Jo got her first kiss, and more. She learned who she truly was. Who she always was, who she was always hiding from everyone. Their romance a wildfire that pushed magic aside for a time.

-- The Fall --

One morning Jo was angrily shaken awake in the morning by her father. Him yelling something unintelligible to her drowsy mind. She quickly sat up, fearing the worst that her parents found out about her and Layla. As her mind cleared and she was finally able to understand the words and noticed the book he was displaying her heart sank. He found her book of magic. He yelled at her for practicing witch craft, the devil, etc etc. He was a whirlwind of anger and nearly to the point of striking her there in the bed. Most of the words have faded over time, though the bite at her heart from his anger still clings to her to this day.

Before she knew it he proclaimed he would fix her. Like she was broken, shattered and nearing worthless. And he would start by burning this heretical book of lies and demonology. He stormed out of her room and down stairs towards their fire place. Jo running after him pleading with him to stop and to listen and understand it wasn't evil. It was beautiful. But he heard none of it. WIthout hesitation he threw the book into the flame, though Jo didn't hesitate either. She rushed past him and pulled the book from the flames, burning her fingers in the act. She spun to face him, arms clung tight around the book defensively. He stared at Jo with fire in his eyes before raising a hand and striking it across her cheek with enough force to send her stumbling across the room and crashing into the couch. She faced him again, her eye bloodshot from the force though she didn't hold her cheek; they remained tight around the book. He then told her no devil worshiping witch would live in his home and told her it was the book or her that was leaving.

Jo hesitated, but quickly bolted off the couch and out of the house. She went to the only place she could think of, Layla's house. She knocked frantically on the door and when Layla finally opened the door she explained everything. Asking if she could stay with her and her dad, but she sadly refused. In truth Layla did this to protect Jo, she knew who her father truly was and Jo wouldn't have been safe there either. But Jo thought Layla also abandoned her, and before Layla could explain she ran off. Layla calling out for her to stop and wait, but Jo ignored the calls.

-- Present Day --

For over the past two years Jo had been living on her own in New York City. Using her magic to influence others to help her survive. Giving her free lodging, giving her free meals, etc. Stay as long as she could in one place before she had to move around again within the city. She abandoned her old life. Her old bonds. Refusing to build other bonds that could ultimately be torn apart and leave her abandoned again. She was surviving. Looking for new knowledge in magic, though she found hardly anything in this time. A few small books on rudimentary magic and the like. Nothing like her first book that she keeps with her to this day.

Spells to Potentially Learn

Basic Magics and Runic Disciplines

_{By: Ivan Mikelsson}

Spells:

Solaris Mico
_{Jo creates a hand cage over her chest and focuses for a short period of time. Generating magical light within the hand cage and condenses it into a tightly bound ball of Magical Light Energy. Once created she slams the Condensed Magical Light orb into her chest and immediately thrusts her arms out to either side. A rapid, violent light scorches through her entirety until it completely covered her in a blinding flash of light. All those that do not divert their gaze in time become disoriented and blinded for a period of time.
NOTE: This process takes about 30 seconds to come to completion and is very physically taxing for Jo; As the condensed Magical Light basically tears through her body in the process.}

Runecraft:

Protect Mind
_{Simple mind protection rune. Placed on an item and powered will lay dormant until activated by a mental attack against the possessor of the runed item. Once activated it will feel as if your brain is being clenched in a vice, and the protection only lasts 3 minutes long. This Rune will protect its owner from powers of any degree of supernatural mental attack. It will not effect poisons, toxins, or drugs that effect mental faculties.}

Stasis Lock
_{Once drawn and activated will put whatever object, person, or thing into a state of complete stasis. This effect lasts until broken or up to one full hour. Best used on injured targets needing additional time to get help. This Rune requires a great deal of concentration and is not suitable in a combat setting as of yet.}

Primal Berserking
_{A large, intricate Rune drawn on a large piece of paper she places on the bare skin of the upper back of a person. With an activation spell the paper ignites and sears the Rune onto the skin. Once the rune is seared to the skin Jo has to enchant the Rune with energy. Once completed it put the wielder of the Rune into a state of frenzy, losing their mind in exchange for equivalent power. The more they let their mind slip the more power they get.
NOTE: The limited practice she has with this rune in practice she can only sustain the rune for 10 minutes. Though the target can retain hold of it in a worse case scenario, continuing to pull energy from Jo against her will. Potentially fatal for Jo if she can't keep control of the power flow. And the more the target mind slips the less they are aware who their enemies are. This Rune DOES NOT need to be written on paper, it can be drawn directly on the skin but takes a considerable amount of time and focus. The Rune would still sear to the skin once activated.}

Soul-Bond
_{A marriage ritual and Runic bond between two people. This process requires a very intimate ritual and body markings. This process is primarily done in Ancient Nordic Marriages to bind the souls of betrothed together for eternity. This rune allows the two to connect on a intensely personal level, able to feel a small degree of what the other feels no matter the distance between them.
NOTE: Jo does not tell people of this Rune/Ritual.}

Sacred Lands
_{Incredibly powerful and taxing rune to perform. Jo would spill her charcoal ink onto the ground and slam her hand into the pool of ink. With an incantation the ink spreads out over a fifteen foot radius around Jo and forms a intricate runic circle. Once formed Jo blasts the runic circle with her own Life Essence, activating the rune. Once activated all within the runic circle will feel a rush of restorative energy healing wounds and restoring strength, vegetation rapidly growing within the circle.
NOTE: This spell is INCREDIBLY dangerous for Jo and she is insanely hesitant to ever use it. One miscalculation in the amount of life force she pushes into the Runic Circle could tear her apart from the inside; At present she doesn't have the practice in this rune to perfectly dictate the flow of her own life force into it. It is tremendously taxing and will only EVER be used as a last resort.}

The Uncanny X-Babies - Concluded

@Salty Spitoon
Okay, so few things...

• Her age is off, have her born in 1998 and it'll be fixed (since currently we are at the very beginning of 2018)
• Skills wise, should just be labelled as Self-Defense and Basic Firearms.
• Personal style is meant to be a few sentences, not just one. It can be about the different types of clothes they tend to wear, how they do their hair, things like that.
• Of course need to finish up with the history section

That's all! Tagged me once you've finished the CS, we'll be glad to have you!

@BlueSky44

• if we're in december of 2017, nov 23rd 1999 would mean she had just turned 18 last month. I genuinely hope that doesn't come off rudely, truly not my intention. I might honestly be wrong, I am pretty sick currently. But if you wouldn't mind checking the date again to double check so we're both on the same page I will happily take your recommendation.
• Will adjust accordingly. :)
• Ohh! I am terribly sorry. I thought you were going for a little like "sound byte synopsis" of their style. I will fix that once I get back to it to finish the history section! <3
• Can't wait! I have all that info kinda cliff-noted in my head currently so once I have the time to sit down and write it up I will. <3 ^-^

Why did you join X-Factor?:

Jo was approached by Serval Industries shortly after her eighteenth birthday. Apparently she has been on their watch list for Lord knows how long. While there wasn't anything particularly spectacular about Jo's abilities she was using them for less than saintly purposes. Free meals, lodging, etc. Nothing inherently evil though unjust. When approached she was given an ultimatum; Join the X-Factor and use and develop her powers for good or a detention center.

It was an easy decision, though primarily as a means to further progress in her studies of magic.

General History:

-- Childhood --

Jolene Martha Meyers was born a normal girl in a normal family to a Pastor father and Elementary School Teacher mother in a small town in New York. The town only had the one church that her father lead, so most people knew the family very closely. Nearly the entire congregation visited baby Jolene after she was born, gushing over the perfect family precious little blessing.

-- Youth --

Young Jolene was recently turned fifteen years old, still in the same small town, going to the same church her father lead. Jolene having the pressures of her parents image crushing down on her shoulders. Needing to look prim and pristine at all times. Not deter from her path. Do as she is told. Follow the teachings of the bible. The whole deal. It felt like every morning before she left the house she had to take a test. Her clothes modest, her hair and makeup done perfect, her attitude in check, and everything in proper order. Everyone in town knew her and her family, and if there were any slip ups or mistakes it would find its way to her parents and she would catch hell.

One day after school she was out looking through the local strip mall with her closest friend, Layla Kline. Layla was considered by the town a trouble maker, but Jolene convinced her parents she was trying to get Layla back on the right path. In truth Jolene loved spending time with Layla because she was everything Jolene wasn't allowed to be. It was exciting just being around someone with such little cares in the world; such a innocent spirit that let her desires guide her.

While Jolene and Layla were out walking around the strip mall they came across a small book shop she had crossed hundreds of times in her short life. But something was different this time. Something drew attention to it. Something strong enough she couldn't help herself but go in. She followed the pull through the store towards the back wear a few boxes lay, opened though filled with books not yet shelved.

Jolene began to carefully pull books out of the box, Layla asking what she was looking for though Jolene hardly heard her. There it was, pulling a book away from the middle and near the bottom and old looking book with partially faded letters resided. She picked it up in her slender fingers and looked over it carefully. Like a mother over her new born child. She had to have it. Jolene looking back up to Layla with an innocent smile. "I've been looking everywhere for this book." she lied. Layla laughing and shaking her head in a facade of not caring. She quickly paid for the book and ended the day with Layla to go immediately home.

-- The Rise --

Over the next six months Jolene read from cover to cover at least a dozen times. It was a book about Magic. Most scholars would say it was a book on the myths of magic and how ancient civilizations 'practiced' magic. But it was real. After her second time reading through it she decided to try one. A seemingly simple one. A sleep spell. It took her a few tries to get the words and gestures right, but when it succeeded she instantly collapsed into unconsciousness, sleeping nearly twelve hours before waking again. She was in thrilled disbelief. This was real. This whole book was real. She needed to tell someone, anyone, just not her parents or anyone who would tell her parents. So that left only one person, Layla. Jolene fumbled with her phone in excitement to text her to come over as soon as possible.

Layla thought Jolene was crazy at first, until Jolene created a small flame floating above her palm out of thin air.

For weeks they spent nearly every day together at an old playground no one visited anymore; covered in vines and moss. It was perfect and discreet. Layla tried to do the magic within the book but it never worked for her, only Jolene. Jolene had a strange connection to it Layla simply didn't. Though Layla didn't seem to mind too terribly much, as long as she was there along for the ride. Over this time Jolene filled notebooks upon notebooks with notes and tips to help remind her the small nuances she learned from day to day with magic. Practicing drawing small runes the book particularly emphasized on.

Layla and Jolene became incredibly close during this time, Jolene getting her nickname Jo from the other. Jo recounts the times as the two being inseparable. During this time Jo got her first kiss, and more. She learned who she truly was. Who she always was, who she was always hiding from everyone. Their romance a wildfire that pushed magic aside for a time.

-- The Fall --

One morning Jo was angrily shaken awake in the morning by her father. Him yelling something unintelligible to her drowsy mind. She quickly sat up, fearing the worst that her parents found out about her and Layla. As her mind cleared and she was finally able to understand the words and noticed the book he was displaying her heart sank. He found her book of magic. He yelled at her for practicing witch craft, the devil, etc etc. He was a whirlwind of anger and nearly to the point of striking her there in the bed. Most of the words have faded over time, though the bite at her heart from his anger still clings to her to this day.

Before she knew it he proclaimed he would fix her. Like she was broken, shattered and nearing worthless. And he would start by burning this heretical book of lies and demonology. He stormed out of her room and down stairs towards their fire place. Jo running after him pleading with him to stop and to listen and understand it wasn't evil. It was beautiful. But he heard none of it. WIthout hesitation he threw the book into the flame, though Jo didn't hesitate either. She rushed past him and pulled the book from the flames, burning her fingers in the act. She spun to face him, arms clung tight around the book defensively. He stared at Jo with fire in his eyes before raising a hand and striking it across her cheek with enough force to send her stumbling across the room and crashing into the couch. She faced him again, her eye bloodshot from the force though she didn't hold her cheek; they remained tight around the book. He then told her no devil worshiping witch would live in his home and told her it was the book or her that was leaving.

Jo hesitated, but quickly bolted off the couch and out of the house. She went to the only place she could think of, Layla's house. She knocked frantically on the door and when Layla finally opened the door she explained everything. Asking if she could stay with her and her dad, but she sadly refused. In truth Layla did this to protect Jo, she knew who her father truly was and Jo wouldn't have been safe there either. But Jo thought Layla also abandoned her, and before Layla could explain she ran off. Layla calling out for her to stop and wait, but Jo ignored the calls.

-- Present Day --

For over the past two years Jo had been living on her own in New York City. Using her magic to influence others to help her survive. Giving her free lodging, giving her free meals, etc. Stay as long as she could in one place before she had to move around again within the city. She abandoned her old life. Her old bonds. Refusing to build other bonds that could ultimately be torn apart and leave her abandoned again. She was surviving. Looking for new knowledge in magic, though she found hardly anything in this time. A few small books on rudimentary magic and the like. Nothing like her first book that she keeps with her to this day.
