Bios:

• Name: Elise Justina Isley
• Age: 24
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Elise is a tall woman with a slender build which gives her a somewhat fragile appearance.
• Personality: Elise's personality has developed in response to a life of knowing that she was born on the bottom rung of the magical world, so she harbors a mixture of resentment and envy for the powerful mage families. She's stubborn, particularly when told something is beyond her ability, and tries to seize every opportunity to prove herself. Coupled together, these things make her very easy to provoke and leave her prone to reckless thinking and behavior.
• Abilities: Although she is nothing special compared to children of the great houses, Elise is the strongest practitioner of the ancestral magic passed down the Isley family in generations. She has an affinity for ______, which holds a sentimental meaning to their declining house since it is the strongest magic they possess.
  
  ______ Spells:
  
  • :
  • :
  • :
  • :
  
  Other Spells:
  
  • Scrying: This spell can be used to create a two-dimensional map to find people or things, but only if they are within a few miles of Elise and she possesses something that closely linked to them.
• Skills: Elise doesn't have any combat training, but she has the quick reflexes necessary for casting magic without hesitation. She's a skilled driver, and she can cast her lower-level spells mentally.
• Equipment:
  • A deck of handmade cards inscribed with runes to increase the efficacy of her magic, as well as blank cards.
  • A box of chalk.
  • Her smartphone, which has an interesting magical application.
• Brief Backstory: Elise was born into an old and diluted family of European mages which hasn't produced anything worthwhile in several generations. In fact, while she isn't the most experienced, Elise might be the most potent living member of their house. Magic was a distant possibility for most of her childhood, as her mother lacked any ability and her father was only a middling quality mage, but when her grandfather learned of her affinity for _______ he decided to take her training into his own hands. _______, the affinity which had accompanied some of the most skilled mages in the family's long history, had not been seen in four generations of the family's mages. With the White Night nearing completion, her aged mentor allowed himself a sliver of hope that the Isley family might have a place in the final lunge towards the Origin after all.
  
  At first, the young Elise rebelled against being taken away from her father and mother. However, as her grandfather taught her about magic and the history of her family he awoke within her the lust for power that drives most mages forward. Without the connection to a powerful family, she had to claw her way into the Tower on her own merits, but once she was accepted she studied hard to overcome her disadvantages and prove her worth as a mage. It didn't come easy to her though, and her poor bloodline made her the subject of some ridicule and scorn from the fellow students who thought themselves superior to her. Still, she managed to earn a reputation for her stubborn effort which, more often than not, paid off.
  
  With the White Night of Klarsberg approaching, she has bid her grandfather farewell for what may be the final time. She is determined to either survive this ritual and prove once and for all that mages of the Isley family are not to be underestimated. Of course, her failure might deliver the killing blow to her withering family.

@Raineh Daze I usually start with abilities and such, and use them to inspire the history, but I was having problems coming up with anything else without making her history first. Glad to see I'm not the only one. ^_^

In a rare turn of events, my backstory is the only thing I have complete so far.

@The Omnipotent Sphere: The Twenty-One Circles of the Major Arcana are the twenty-one "Big" Mage Circles, all named for one of the major arcana tarot cards. For example, there's the Tower in London, and the Moon in Japan.

As a general note, this is a setting I've worked on for years and there's too much information to put in the OP. If you have any questions about anything, please, please feel free to ask.

@VitaVitaAR

I was thinking about playing a mage from one of the circles, and was wondering if there was anything I needed to know?

@VitaVitaAR You mentioned the "Twenty-One Circles of the Major Arcana" in the OP, is there any more information about these groups of magi?

Over the Ages Episode 1: All that Remains

@Whoami I have over a hundred word documents for previous RPs, and save constantly. Sometimes I don't want to keep something I'm writing so I open an empty doc, but the compulsion to save frequently is so strong I have to name the document because I keep trying to hit the save button subconsciously.

Character Creation

"Greetings, immortal. I am the Illuminati's new AI superintendent, Sigil. I oversee and collect data for the Illuminati so that you don't need to busy yourself with trivial tasks. I haven't recognized you in my database so I must ask you a few questions before you can return to the world. It shouldn't take too long, unless you decide to give me your millennia long history.

*Other:
"No, you were quite thorough."

@Whoami Should we move our characters to the Character Tab?

Aristocracy: A War in the Night

@ReaptheMusic I was hoping it was something like that, but you can never tell what people will say.
