Electric Blood and Magic

Alyss blinked when the man just walked right past her into her home. For a moment it made her think of how much she wished that magic wasn't banned so that she could once again put up barriers and traps for those with hostile intent. It'd keep her safe, a least a barrier on the front door for those that tried to barge in uninvited. That way she could keep out those she didn't want in her home. But, of course that wasn't allowed because that was very blatant magic and she'd be thrown in jail and possibly even executed for practicing.

Alyss closed the door and walked into the next room, watching the man now pull down every shade and curtain in her house. She crossed her arms and glared at this man, silently watching him work, but not enjoying how he had decided to just act like he could do whatever he wants. Now just upset with this man waking her up early, barging into her home and then acting like he owned the place, she was ready to kick him out. She wasn't in the mood anymore to hear whatever it was he had to say, all he was doing was being rude. Besides that, Alyss wore a filter mask for a reason, to keep as healthy as she could, this man walking into her house like this means that she'd now have to wear the mask in her own home for weeks to make sure she didn't catch anything.

"Well, first of all I am a distant relative of the family, I have no magic capabilities. None at all. And secondly, magic is banned here, if I practiced it, I'd be in jail, in a different kingdom, or executed like you had done to my last living relative," Alyss rolled her eyes. Even if helping people was something her mother had taught her to do and she enjoyed healing those that were sick, she wasn't going to get herself in danger. "I'd like you to leave now."

About Me

• I can write up from 2 to 5 paragraphs, of course I can manage to do more or less depending on what I'm given, but my preferred minimum is 2 paragraphs.
• I'm still a college student and will be still taking classes through the summer, so I may get busy from time to time. I should still be available to post at least once a week, but I will probably post way more than just once a week.
• I'm 22 for those that care about the age of the person that rp with.
• I don't mind OOC talk, and would actually love to encourage it! Even if we're just talking about our characters in the rp and planning for what to do next, either way I'd like to keep some kind of communication up.
• I am female but will rp both male and female characters (I'd prefer to play the female in fxm relationships though, as I have had to rp the male counterparts to female characters way too often in the past)
• I enjoy romance in my rps! I'll do MxM, FxF or FxM romances, and of course any other sort of gender pairings as well. So if you want to play a non-binary character, for example, and want them part of the romance, that works for me.
• Please ask me any questions you have!

Partner Preferences

• Please be open to have romance in our rp!
• Be willing to play both genders if it becomes necessary.
• Be able to match my posting length. I set a minimum of 2 paragraphs per present character, but understand the occasional small post.
• So I know you've read this section, as it is the most important section, tell me your favorite color
• Understand that OOC talk is going to be really important for this RP so please be cool with OOC chat and keeping up with it
• Be willing to play multiple characters.
• If you are interested, to make things easier give me what pairings you are interested in, including the gender pairing you're interested in.
• If you have any other questions on what I'm asking for, please ask.

What I want out of this is a bunch of different stories but in the same world. I'm going to explain what I have in mind for this world, and from there you can pick a pairing and we'll come up with a fun story to add to this world. As for how plots go, if you get bored, then we can just move onto something else, or just stop the rp altogether, I don't mind if we don't finish a plot. I especially don't mind if you're just not all that interested in the plot anymore. I'm really just interested in using this world and seeing what kind of stuff comes out of it.

The World

The world itself is pretty simple to explain as a high technology fantasy world. It's a world filled with sci-fi gadgetry such as robots, smart houses, robotic prosthetics and holograms. It's also a world filled with magic that is nearly all specifically geared towards technology so like magic that allows a person to program a machine just by talking to it or someone being able to charge their phone using their own energy. There's also more mundane magic like potions that boost energy or enchantments the help focus or calm anxiety. It's vast and there's different countries and cities, some people still live in kingdoms, others live in a completely free capitalistic societies with monopolies that basically run their country.

The Technology

Space travel is something that has been done by a select few, but it isn't something this planet is interested in, so it isn't done a whole lot. It's mainly something done for study and nobody plans to really use that power to colonize other planets. Those that do, are seen as crazy, since it's not a common interest or a solution to any of their problems. Outside of that, most people rely on mass transit to get from place to place. Planes, Boats and Trains are used to get to far off places, while buses are used for smaller distances. People may rent cars to get from place to place or hire a taxi service. Cars that are owned are generally owned by the rich and cars and buses drive themselves now.

In the world of health, there are robotic prosthetics for those that lose a limb. They move just like a regular limb, but do take some time for the technology to understand what the wearer wants, but after a while of having the new prosthetic the limb will move just as naturally as what it replaced and occasionally even better than that. Stem cells and cloning are used to replace damaged organs, on occasion something electronic used instead, but they are seen as just a cheaper option that will need to be replaced frequently and run with risks. There is also some human augmentation, those that want stronger limbs bur really have no medical need will get robotic prosthetics or those that want better eyesight that is better than that of a normal human might switch out for robotic eyes. This is also something done mainly by those that have a lot of money to spend and not done by the average person. These objects are also made to keep the wearer looking human, so it does cost a lot more than some of the other options that don't require synthetic skin or natural looks.

In a more domestic place, homes are all smart houses. Sensors are everywhere that sense when someone is home, lights will turn on in rooms where people are and will turn off when people leave. Refrigerators are able to tell you what you have in stock and suggest recipes for what's available and also give a grocery list for those that plan meals ahead of time. Rooms are kept at temperatures to what the person prefers. The wealthy have humanoid robots that will clean their homes, take care of their laundry and have personal assistants. Some of these robots are even trusted to watch and care for children. In a more normal family a person may have a automated vacuum cleaner that takes care of cleaning the carpets daily and a robot that mops up floors. There might be an AI assistant built into the house that is just a voice over a speaker system.

As for how everything is powered, solar power is the preferred method. Most things run on electricity and most things use solar power, usually gathered from more desert like areas and then transported around the world, but more sunny areas may still have solar panels on their roof tops. People have also found a way to harvest energy from magically imbued objects, so those may be used to power a system as well and would run kind of like a battery that can be recharged.

The Magic

Magic has evolved with the needs of the people. Those that decide to practice magic and become good at it, usually use it for convenience. The most common and first spell people learn is how to charge their own devices with their own energy. But, there are also people out there that can use magic to program devices just through their speech or even those that can transfer their own consciousness into another piece of technology. Some have learned how to use electrical wires as a sort of way to travel, being able to teleport from place to place as long as there is electrical wiring around. Some others have used it for mundane tasks as well. Like reviving energy, like caffeine that instantly works and wakes a person up, or to help them focus on the task at hand. Magic can be used to create barriers around homes to keep those with intent to harm out, and can be used to heal minor injuries.

Electric Blood and Magic

Alyss had been sound asleep after going through her homework and studies. It had taken hours to get through everything, gladly she didn't have to start her days so early and she still had time to get in a good amount of sleep before starting her day again. That was, until the lights turned on in her room waking her up. She let out a groan, grabbed the pillow nearest to her and plopped it onto her head. She didn't want to wake up just yet, she was still tired and not at all ready to face the day again. Then an electrical voice came over the speakers, "You have a guest at the front door."

The young witch rolled her eyes, but managed to get herself up and out of bed. She was still in her pajamas, but that didn't really bother her. Still, she knew better than to trust the outside germs, her mother had always made sure she wore an air filtration mask. With a low immune system, it was just necessary to get around. She grabbed a disposable one and pulled it over her mouth and nose. She fixed her hair up into a pony tail for some kind of effort in her looks. Not that she usually cared that much, she already looked constantly sickly.

Finally, though the girl got to the door and opened it up, the man before her was unfamiliar. She didn't like that. That usually meant another house inspection to see if they could find some sort of magical potion lying around, so they can kick her out of her house. It wasn't like they'd ever find anything with a magical property in her home, she was careful enough to hide everything, besides witchcraft was more than just potions and weird objects around a home. She looked the man up and down before finally stating, "May I help you?" Her voice muffled by the white filter mask over her face, but still rather audible.

Electric Blood and Magic

It had been a long day of school and work for Alyss. She had gotten used to the constant work flow that just never seemed to stop and made her come home exhausted every day. But, she could never just hop straight into bed as she had homework to do, and she should eat before she fell asleep and there were always some household chores to get through. She wasn't a huge fan of having to manage school and a job so that she could survive in this world, but she at least had been prepared for it. It just wasn't the best when for her with her illness making it hard for her to have so much energy for so long, and then there were the days where she simply couldn't get out of bed because she was too sick. Those were the worst, because she still had to call into work and talk to her teachers. It was a good thing they all already knew that she suffered from this illness and that accommodations were made for her.

Alyss opened up the front door to her family house and immediately dropped her backpack down in the entrance. She couldn't wait to just get into a bath and relax for a little while. Since people were always so anxious that she practiced magic, she had learned to use it in very quiet ways. She took these baths in potions that were meant to recharge energy faster, or make food that was charmed to help her focus. She had done a few less noticeable things around others, like charging her phone with her own energy in emergencies or quiet healing magic for herself when she felt her sickness start to get the best of her.

She glanced around the large empty house, that had been in her family for generations. It was as big as a mansion. Her family had been a huge part of the community, so of course it was large, her family used to make small fortunes for themselves. Too bad all of that was taken away and she was just left with the large empty house. "I'm home," She called out to the empty place. She wasn't sure what she expected from doing so, it was just habit at this point. She had called it out to the empty house many times. While she was sure that there was nobody else in the place, she could always feel the energies that flowed so strongly within this home. There was a spike every time she would get home and declare that she was back. It felt like her ancestors were all there, all happy to see her back, even though she didn't really believe in spirits.

Though, with a technology filled house, it had also become accustomed to Alyss' voice and what she always said when she first walked in. The lights turned on, and quiet music started to play as the girl dragged herself to the elevator. When she got in, she pressed the button to the floor that held her room and her bathroom. As she waited, she pulled out her phone and glanced over a few things. She ordered some dinner to be made, since she didn't feel like doing it herself tonight and quietly went to take her bath and refuel as much energy as she could.

@Wick It looks great! I'll try to get a post up tomorrow, I ended up spending the day with a friend and now I have to get some stuff done for my college classes.

Electric Blood and Magic

@Wick Yes, the curse has become a bloodline thing, so all the royal guard's children would have the curse and their children would have it and so on.

@Wick Alright, sounds good to me. Here's the link to the thread https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/164689-electric-blood-and-magic/char#post-4349097

Electric Blood and Magic

Name: Alyss Alcanter
Alias: Gabrielle Carter
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Description:
Bio: Alyss comes from a long line of powerful magic users. It's said to be in their bloodline and that magic just comes naturally to them. Her family members had been part of the royal guard, they have served the kingdom with their magic, done many things to help out and have been famous for so long. Unfortunately, her life didn't really start off all that well. Her father had died in that terrible incident where many died due to some magic gone wrong. When magic became banned, her mother refused to leave her home. Her family had lived in that home for centuries and she wasn't about to leave it, besides she had been a part of the community since she was young and her bloodline had sacrificed a lot for this kingdom. The kingdom was hesitant in making the witch leave, she was rather powerful after all and getting past her traps and barricades wouldn't be an easy task.

When Alyss left, things became even more complicated, she was born with an illness that would follow her through her entire life and would likely be the end of her. Her mother didn't want to move her out of their home as she believed the years of magic around the house could help Alyss stay alive while she tried to find a cure. Then the castle guard came through, Alyss was still only an infant when her mother was arrested. Somehow, she found a way out before the day was through. Alyss and her mother still stayed within the kingdom, hoping one day to return to their home and practiced magic in secret. Alyss became pretty good at healing, and used her magic to heal others in the small community that had promised to keep everything a secret. As a young child, her entire left arm and right leg had to be replaced with robotic versions, but she managed to keep going. She helped out where she could and did her best.

In her late teenage years, a visitor came through their small community and found Alyss performing magic on one of the other people in the village. The villager was healed right before that visitor's eyes and that visitor told the royal guard about the people practicing magic when it was banned. Alyss' mother took the blame, and claimed that Alyss didn't know any magic at all. That was the last Alyss saw of her mother, as she was arrested and later executed. Against her better judgment, and after she was done with her high school days, she returned to the Alcanter family home. She went under an alias of Gabrielle Carter and coninued to live under the guise that she was a very distant relative of the Alcanter family and had no idea how to even practice magic. With the deed in her possession and nobody seeing her do magic, she obtained what was rightfully hers. She went to college in the city, and started to live a normal life.

Though rumors did continue that this girl knew a thing or two about magic, the frequent house searches and questions always pulled up nothing. People started to believe that Alyss was just a normal girl by the name of Gabrielle that wanted the old Alcanter property because it was just rightfully hers now and she wanted to have something of her family.

Electric Blood and Magic

The Plot

In a world filled with science fiction technology and fantasy magic, there is very little that can't be accomplished. People charge their phones with their own energy, teleportation can be done through complicated tech or through magic that has been researched for years. Technology and magic have co-existed for a long time. One kingdom though was not so welcoming of magic practices. After a very fatal incident that had costed the lives of many civilians, a few nobles and one of the princes of the kingdom, magic had been banned. Because of this ban, the royal guard have been ordered to seek out those who practice magic and kick them out of their homes, and purge them from the cities and villages of the kingdom.

Most left willingly, but a few either could not afford to move or had other motives to stay behind. These quiet few were hunted by a special group of the royal guard to forcibly remove these people or to imprison them if they attempted to fight back. During this hunt, one member of this special team had come upon a powerful witch. One that had no intentions of leaving their land as it was their property. The two got into a nasty battle, but the guard ended up winning. This guard arrested the witch, but not before the witch had cursed them. The guard was transformed into the most inconvenient thing she could think of. The guard and anyone in the guard's bloodline would now have a terrible thirst for blood and a need for electricity, what they would dub as a cybernetic vampire. This creature needed the electricity for the energy, and could only digest blood. Going out in the daylight burns their skin and if they wanted to do anything, magic would have to be involved. There was no control over what they took energy from, anything they touched meant that energy would be consumed and quickly drained.

Our story begins with the children of these two enemies. The child of the guard seeks out the child of the witch to cure this curse. To go back to having a normal life. Unfortunately, the witch's child may not know much about magic and how to solve this curse.

I'd like to play the witch, and I'm willing to actually rp the original witch and guard too if that's more what you'd like to do. Either pairing works, I'm also willing to add and do more than one story with this setting. If you want to go completely off book and do a different pairing but with this setting, that will also work for me. Anyway, please say something if you're interested!
