"Great men and women have always been called. This is your calling."

Long ago, in a primitive world, humans were superstitious about everything. If you didn't say "God bless you" every time you sneeze, a devil entered into your body. Every time you said something unfortunate, you had to knock on wood. Every time someone act suspicious, they were condemned as a witch or wizard and put to death. It has been estimated that up to 200,000 people throughout Europe were put to death for witchcraft during the mid fifteenth century. Many witches were burned alive though in England, hanging was preferred and in Scotland the witch would first be strangled before hanging as an act of mercy.

So this makes it hard for anyone to use magic... especially those who have to use their abilities for their mission: protect the kingdom of Blone.

Four young sorcerer/sorceresses apprentices have been chosen to watch over the royal family. Not just any royal family... There's a prophecy that one of the members of the family will lead the enslaved to freedom, and will break through the growing darkness. So one of the hidden sorcerers will train his apprentices to help prepare for the hard times ahead, while using what they've learned to protect the members of the royal family while keeping their powers a secret.

There always has to be an opposite force... ick.

"The world is about two things, power and control..."

Another kingdom has been robbing other kingdoms, enslaving them and killing off the land a moment at a time. This kingdom's name is Turley. Blone is one of the only kingdoms left standing... but with their king being old, the peace might not last much longer. And the dark forces know this. Another sorcerer is also training four young sorcerers/sorceresses, but these ones are accepted by the king... after all, he's under control. They're planning to crush Blone and the good guys as soon as they have enough power to take over.

"You leave everything behind..."

1. No godmodding (Even though you have ultimate power and stuff. You know, just get hit every post or so.)
2. No powerplaying. (Ask other people for permission if you feel like you have to powerplay at some parts)
3. No autokill (Get that person's permission and mine as well)
4. Nothing above PG-13. That includes romance and violence
5. I am goddess, and I will add more rules if conflicts come up. I will be fair though.
6. Use proper grammar. Periods and commas are awesome to use, do complete sentences, you know the drill.
7. Make at least 3-7 sentences for each post. If you get Writer's Block, that's okay. Just don't make it a habit.

"If a sorcerer is weak, his magic is weak."

There will be several elements/powers to control. It's up to you to make the spell with them.

Fire
(Example of Spell: Fire ball~ Can control a ball of fire in your hands)

Electricity
(Example of Spell: Plasma Bolt~ Kind of like fire ball, but it's harder to control)

Wind
(Example of Spell: Wind Blast~ Pushes back target with a gust of wind)

Earth
(Example of Spell: Crumbling Earth~ Turns rock to dirt)

Water
(Example of Spell: Slow Water~ Encases target with liquid to make them slow down for a bit )

Illusions:
(This can go to either go to bringing inanimate objects to life, to trapping people in mirrors, to changing appearance to things, making things move with your mind, etc.)

Darkness:
(Example of Spell: Shadow Hands~ Uses shadows to hold a target in place by grabbing onto their shadow)

Apprentices will get five different kinds of spells, mentors will get ten. Only the mentors really need to make a good preview to prove to me they can take on the rolls fairly. You can choose your spell, just explain what each of them do and their strengths and weaknesses. Have a mix and match of the levels of your spells

Like this:

Level One: Still learning how to control it, sometimes will not work
Level Two: Will sometimes work, has room for improvement though
Level Three: Will work no matter what, but again has room for improvement of quality
Level Four: Successful every time

Remember, there's always a successful counter attack for every successful attack move

"Once you step inside, there's no turning back..."

Mentor~
Username: Terra
Name: Risit Sidus
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Appearance: http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii45/ArchAwesome1/snow.jpg
Good or Evil: Good
Personality: A very calm person who can keep his cool in the most dire of situations. He’s one who always believes in doing the right thing over doing the easy thing. Risit is wise for his age and often holds an air of authority that can prove to be intimidating to many people. Risit has been considered by many to be a genius and has the uncanny ability to pick up any skill and master it with inhuman speed, something that his father thought would prove frightening if anyone knew him too personally.
Magic Abilities:

Spoiler

• Level 4: Summoning Winds: Allows one to lift objects by pushing a current of air underneath it.
• Level 4: Shadow Hands: Holds a target in place by grabbing onto their shadow.
• Level 4: Plasma Bolt: A burst of electricity sent out from the hands of the user.
• Level 4: Combustion: Can instantly light objects on fire.
• Level 4: Rising Earth: Causes the erruption of rock structures from the ground.
• Level 4: Wind Gust: Summons a violent outburst of wind as if a storm was about, able to knock someone down if they are caught off guard.
• Level 4: Fade Out: Sucks in all the light of an area to place it in complete darkness.
• Level 3: Firebreath: Allows the user to breathe out a wave of fire.
• Level 3: Cleansing Waters: Heals and removes toxins and curses from the chosen target.
• Level 3: Mirror Wall: Returns offensive spells back at the user but has no use against physical attacks.

Bio: Risit’s father was a longtime friend of the royal family of Blone, having been the family’s personal physician for quite some time. He dabbled in the magic arts and passed on what little knowledge he had to his only son, Risit, who had soon shown that he had a natural talent for such teachings. By the time his father passed away Risit had already grown into a masterful sorcerer who had picked up the empty position his father left behind. He had heard of the prophecy several times during his lifetime and had taken in a small group of apprentices.
Extras: Slightly vague bio so it can fit in with just about anything anyone else posts.
Preview Post:

"Hm. I suppose I'll stop and rest for now." Risit closed the leatherbound book he had at his desk, tracing his fingers lightly against the etched markings on it as if they had some sort of tale to tell. He nearly coughed when the large book snapped shut as dust flew from its pages. No matter how many times he cleaned it the book always seemed to be dusty. It was a gift his father had left him before he died. It was possibly the only "official" record of any and every spell devised by sorcerers and other magic users. Risit's specific copy had several pages added as well as multiple notes and corrections written in it by himself, something he did in the few idle hours he had to himself.

Risit pushed himself away from the wooden desk and pinched two fingers against the nearly burnt out candle to extinguish its flame. His eyes hovered over the small mess of candle wax that gathered at the bottom as the candle was now much less than a quarter of its former size. He sighed knowing the he would have to get a new candle. Risit placed the book in a nearby shelf that had a large empty space between his medical books. As soon as it was in place the book's leather binding morphed into a much more humble appearance matching that of its neighboring books. If anyone but himself opened it the book would be filled with nothing by blank pages. It was a spell his father had placed upon it and something he felt no need to elaborate upon. His dark eyes gazed out at the window, the Moon's light reflecting only on the dust that gathered on the glass.

Tomorrow was a day he would not be fond of. Not only was it his own sixteenth birthday but it was also the day that marked one year since his father's death. He had never once believed that he would be able to take his father's place as the royal physician at such a young age and especially he never thought that he would be allowed to fill such an important role. Despite this, the king still required his services and did not mind the fact that he was so young. The sciences came so easily to him...as a matter of fact, everything seemed to be natural for him. Even with his gift for learning at such a high speed he could not help but feel a bit overwhelmed. He had helped his father wis his work before but nobody ever depended on him to get the job done, only his father. Risit sighed once more and sat on his uncomfortable bed. "I should be out having fun, not working. It'd be nice having an apprentice of my own...I could make them do my work for me!" He laughed at the thought. "Yeah, right. Maybe they'll be sorcerers like me." He added in a sarcastic tone.

Apprentices:
1.
Username: Maka
Name: Eva Rosaline
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance: http://i982.photobucket.com/albums/ae304/kittensrawr/Anime/WhiteScorceress.jpg
Good or Evil: Good
Personality: Serious almost all the time, rarely smiles, seems cold hearted but she really isn't. Sometimes isn’t afraid to state her own opinions about things, but other times she will keep her mouth shut and not say a word. When she acts kinder and warmer though, it means she trusts that person enough to be their friend. Often seems in deep thought when no one is interacting with her.
Magic Abilities:
Level One: Masquerade~ Property of Illusion: Can change her physical appearance to any form she chooses. She has to be careful though, because either she’ll only stay in that form for a short amount of time, or stay in that form longer than she intended (which it always has a way of timing itself at the wrong time). Also, if she walks by something that shows her reflection, it’ll show who she really is. Sometimes her voice won’t change properly with the form either, so if she was to be a man… She would still have her womanly voice. So as you can see, she’s still working on this one.
Level Two: Fire Spiral~ Property of Fire: Sends a wave of fire at a target from the palm of her hand. Almost looks like a snake when it flies towards the target.
Level Two: Blades of the Blossom Petals~ Property of Illusion: Uses scraps of paper or anything that resembles petals and blows them gently towards a target. What ever she uses turns into petals from spring time blossoms and floats around the target. When she raises her hand up and then extends her hand towards the target, the “blossoms†fly around the enemy, slicing and dicing them. It’s mostly like paper cuts, but they still hurt. Uses as a distraction to flee or send another unsuspecting attack at the target.
Level Two: Healing Warmth~ Property of Fire: Heals aching muscles, disinfects wounds (possibly could mend them without leaving a scar, depending how minor the wound is. Can’t heal a huge gash completely), and is a counter for freezing spells
Level Three: Levitas Verbero~ Property of Electricity: Latin for lighting whip, can create a string of lighting in her hand that can reach up to seven feet and use it as a whip. If a target is touched by it, they’ll receive a nasty shock through their body. This can be easily dodged, if you're not stupid and know when to move out of the way.
Bio: Eva’s parents were falsely accused of witchcraft when she was seven years old, and were executed immediately without trial. Eva was saved from the same fate by Risit, and was taken into his care to be raised to be who she is today. Although she was very young when the whole incident with her parents happened, she’s grown a bitter hatred for royalty and refuse to do anything with them. But since Risit is a physician, Eva is his assistant; which means she’s forced to work with the royalty. She tends to hide her true feelings, since she usually gets in trouble for expressing herself. Since she’s been by Risit’s side, she’s grown her own knack of making positions and other cures on her spare time. Sometimes she shares them with Risit, other times she keeps them to herself.
Extras: Makes her own positions and cures when she’s left to be on her own in Risit’s home. Often day dreams when she’s alone. Likes to watch candles burn just for the fun of it. (She’s strange.)


2.
Username: Of Pride And Other Things
Name: Leo Frenwick
Age: 19
Gender: Male. Fo' sho'.
Appearance: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h97/Fair_One_Of_The_Last_Dusk/Male Anime/cell2.jpg
Good or Evil: GOOD.
Personality: The boy is quiet and reclusive-he's not one to go out and make friends. With those that he knows, however, he often gets more open and happy. He works hard on his magic, often to the point of collapse in his exercise. He's determined to rise above anonymity in the world that they're in, become someone that people know. He takes his magic seriously and often uses it in conjugation with melee weapons.
Magic Abilities: Level 1: Dark Encasement- Leo surrounds something in a quite hard shell of darkness, often enlarging it or making it completely invisible if it's in a dark place or at night. He enjoys trying to use this with a scythe, his favorite weapon. Level 2: Shadow Partner- While this technique almost always works, he often cannot do much with it-it's when he tries to get advanced that he starts messing up. He shadow detaches and can even peel up off the ground, fighting like a partner or leeching onto the other's shadow, preventing movement. Level 2: Flitting- He can use his shadow to travel, moving from one end to the other, effectively reversing himself. A skill that has limited potential in the day, when one's shadow only extends so far, though extremely useful at night, when his shadow can be considered the darkness around him. Level 2: Dark Link- Leo establishes a bond of shadows with someone, either augmenting their power with his own or taking/recieving power from them to augment his spells. If advanced, he can link with multiple people at once. Has the potential to be an extremely strong skill. Level 3: Dark Pictures- A lot like shadow partner, except Leo has more direct control. As if his shadow is an extention of his body, a kick from Leo's shadow feels like a real kick, a stab feels like a real stab-when Sam makes a shadow puppet dog, that is an actual set of jaws ready to bite someone. With help he can create intricate designs and traps.
Bio: (Leo didn't have a bad childhood. He knows he didn't. He did, however, have a few problems with his shadow early in childhood. It bullied him and hit him, often making him feel sad and depressed. It would never do it in the company of others but it was known to cut and claw the boy's feet whenever he did something the shadow didn't like, or punch and grab his face. It was only around the age of 16 that Leo finally learned how to control his little partner, but by that time people were suspicious of him. It was only through the help of a trained mentor that he learned how to properly exploit and control his powers. Because of the training that started late in his life, Leo has been working hard and advancing at a rapid pace from when he began. Despite his darkness-oriented powers, the boy is very dedicated to the good things in life.)
Extras: He loves art and likes to talk to his shadow when it's feeling friendly. c;
Preview Post: Do I haveeee toooooo?
Fine. :3

"C'mon! C'mon, you can do it!" A deep voice repeated over and over again to himself under his breath as the body it belonged to held a smooth pebble in his hand. The boy's shadow snuck up his arm to wrap it's ethereal hand around the rock, encasing it. Leo focused, then whispered a word and the shadow detached, the pebble...retaining it's shadowy coating. Leo let out a pent-up breath of relief, dropping the blackish-purple thing on the ground. His shadow discreetly took that little chunk of it's being back, and Leo could have exploded with happiness. Even if it was a four inch large pebble, it was the detaching of his shadow that he always had trouble with-now that he'd done this, he could go to bigger things, like a box, a weapon. Wow, things were going his way today! He was so excited that he nearly tripped as he walked, the boy's leather boots scuffing something in the street as he passed by. He paid no attention it it with his brown eyes, black hair falling about his ears and occasionally shifting in the wind. The boy opened his arms wide and looked up at the sky, taking in the warm sunlight and basking in it. Someone bumped into the boy in the street, making him grumble quietly as his happy trance was broken. "Know of a thing called paying attention?!" The boy yelled after the man, growling and turning around on a heel, a little cloud of street dust coming up around his heel. He began walking again, realizing that he should be somewhere. Oh! Yeah! He turned once again, getting ready to walk to the new purpose of his life for the next...well, he didn't know how long, but he was happy to get out of a woodworker's apprenticeship to be guarding some royal family.

Not sure how much I should have written. D:
3. Username: Ruki
Name: Rose Abell
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Appearance: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/vma_92/Characters/asuka111-1.jpg
Good or Evil: Good
Personality: Rose can be rather playful and energetic. She has a habit of being a bit sarcastic at times and can even be rude, but she means well when she comments about things she doesn’t like. Her energetic nature can at times lead her to doing things before thinking. She used to get in a lot of trouble because of this.
Magic Abilities:

• Level One - Plasma Bolt: A blast of electricity escaping from the palms of the user.
• Level Two - Freezing Grip: Allows a person to freeze another person or object with a single touch. However, they can control whether they wants to freeze the entire person’s body or just a body part.
• Level Two - Crumbling Earth: Turns rocks and stone into sand. Useful for causing another to lose their footing or making passageways through walls.
• Level Two - Animation: Brings objects to life for as long as the user's concentration is held on them. The objects will obey the caster. Can bring up to five objects to life.
• Level Three - Shockwave: A burst of wind escaping from the user’s body to push away anything around them.

Bio: Rose had been living in Blone for many years now so she knows the city very well. She had probably moved to Blone when she was only three years old, she can’t be too sure though. Her father was a knight for the king and queen and her mother worked in a flower shop. Rose had an older brother who was about five years older than her and the four of them seemed like any ordinary family. At the age of 11, Rose began noticing odd things about her body that weren’t normal. She figured she must have been imagining things and ignored it for a week until she had touched a ball and froze it. Able to trust her parents, Rose told them about what was happening and they explained to her that on her father’s side, there was a history of sorcerers and sorceress and that it had somehow skipped him. Wanting to keep their daughter safe, they had hid Rose away until several years later when her family was accused of hiding a witch, which was practically true. Rose had quickly taken off before being found and her family were all executed.
Extras: N/A
Preview Post: Light blue eyes stared quietly at a small doll that stood on her dresser. The young girl’s brows furrowed as she concentrated as hard she possibly could to bring that small object to life. For weeks the young girl had been trying to bring a single object to life. “Come on,†she muttered quietly, frustration beginning to build up. She waited another minute before letting out a frustrated sigh. She lazily took a few steps towards her bed and threw herself on to it.

She slowly sat up, raising her hands to her head to rub her temples. Rose let out a quiet groan, her eyes shifting towards the doll she had been trying to bring to life. She lowered her hands down to her lap, slouching her shoulders forward slightly as she sighed out once more. Her head tilted slightly, noticing the small doll twitch. A smile crossed Rose’s lips as she stood up from her bed and walked over to the dresser. “Almost there.â€

Bad Side:

Mentor~
Username: Terra
Name: Cael Inane
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Appearance: http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii45/ArchAwesome1/trainer.jpg (Without the pointed ears or sword.)
Good or Evil: Evil
Personality: Cael is a charismatic individual who often plays on the emotions of others to get what he wants. He speaks callously about those who aren't magicly inclined and believes that they should be nothing more than servants to those who can use magic. He harbors a great deal of hatred towards the kingdom of Blone and wishes nothing more but to see it crumble to the ground. Cael often spends his free time devising plans to kill those who would oppose him, especially if they are powerful such as his rival mentor Risit.
Magic Abilities:

Spoiler

• Level 4: Blade of the Inferno: Normally an ability that coats a blade in a blazing fire that could easily put a strain on any other weapon and break it within moments. Cael has mastered this ability to the point where he no longer needs a weapon to use this spell.
• Level 4: Binding Metal: Eight metal shackles tear out from the ground and launch themselves at the target. They have a range of about 10 feet but their speed makes up for it. They restrict movement of the arms and legs. The shackles are weaker if done in grassy or soft-sanded areas and can be broken readily by one with enough physical strength.
• Level 4: Plasma Bolt: Same as Risit's Plasma Bolt.
• Level 4: Frostbite: A technique that will send out several sharp shards of ice from the palm(s) of the user capable of killing those without protection.
• Level 4: (Illusion) Doppleganger: Creates an illusion of anyone of his choosing which can even interact with the surroundings and speak with the exact same voice as the target so long as he has both seen and heard the person before.
• Level 4: Terra Spike: Similar to Rising Earth for the exception that this move is meant to be sheerly offensive. It causes a single rock spike(just a little bigger than the caster) to sprout from the ground at an extreme speed and can even be launched into the sky.
• Level 4: Numbing Touch: With just a simple touch an electrical pulse will render the targeted limb completely limp and numb for a period of time ranging from an hour to even a day with those of weak constitution.
• Level 3: Phantom Punishment: If the user steps on another's shadow or touches it with their own body they can physically harm the target through their shadow. These wounds will appear on where the shadow was touched with varying severity depending on how hard the original contact was. Worst case scenario would include broken bones if the contact was done with a blunt force.
• Level 3: (Illusion) Animation: Suits of armor and other objects can be brought to "life" for a duration of about ten minutes and can be commanded to do just about anything. This power works for up to twenty objects, however those that were brought to life can be "killed" by conventional methods if they are broken or blown apart(as the case with armor).
• Level 3: Wind Torrent: Used both as an offensive and defensive ability. It surrounds the user in a constant stream of upward flowing wind currents capable of deflecting powerful spells as it grows outwards in an expanding radius of nearly 30 meters. The wall moves slowly so it would be easy to move out of the way as it takes a nearly two minutes for it to reach its full size. The wall can cause several shallow wounds if it makes contact(so it won't fatally harm anyone or cause anyone massive blood loss).

Bio: Cael comes from a long line of powerful sorcerers(and sorceresses) who had at one point controlled Blone's territories until their downfall. His ancestors had fled to Turley in order to begin anew. Cael had been told many stories of his lineage and that with the aid of the kingdom they belonged to, he would be able to bring about the end of Blone. He has no true reason to hate Blone, he had never lost a friend or relative to the "witch hunts", but still he hates them. He has had many apprentices over the years, several of which were killed by Risit. Cael believes that his current apprentices will fare much better...he has seen to it that they are strong enough to do his bidding.

Username: Twilight_Nobody13
Name: Willow Parenthapaeus
Age: 19
Gender: female
Appearance: http://m16.photobucket.com/image/anime%20female%20mages/MidnightsDragon/Anime/FanMage.jpg.html?src=www
Good or Evil: Evil
Personality: Often cocky about her own powers, she tries to be cold and cares for only herself.
Magic Abilities: ~Level One: Dance of the Dragon (wind and illusion) -- creates a dragon out of wind to slice and dice her enemy (often does not work and is very hard to control)
~Level Two: Wind Rift -- forms a barrier of wind around the user and heals any injuries (example: cannot restore lost limbs and speeds up the healing process of normal wounds to an extent of severity. More severe wounds take more time and energy. A two inch gash would heal within at least four minutes)
~Level Two: Soul Purge (illusion) -- beckons and traps a person's soul within a mirror leaving the body lifeless where it stood. (to be released from the mirror any person would have to crack the mirror. Think being trapped in a glass box)
~Level Two: Blade Dance (illusion) -- animates any sharp weapon in the room to attack for her
~Level Three: Wind Slash (wind) -- sends blades of wind from her fans to slice the enemy
Bio: Willow was raised in the shadow of her elder sister when she started using dark arts. Her wind and her fans became her only company. Abused as a child, Willow formed a strong hatred for her family's love of each other and not her. Willow pushed herself to be better and her eagerness caused a spell she wanted to show off to go haywire and kill her sister. Her family disowned her and she turned to her mentor for family and guidance. Willow took any word she heard from the streets and her mentor seriously and formed a determination to fufil her part in destiny.
Extras: Her fans have knives hidden in them that can be used as an offensive weapon at times.
Preview Post:
Willow stared up at the moon, listening to her mother and father chatise her for another lazy day while her "poor ill" sister had to work. Willow stood and her fans dropped from her sleeves into her hands. Her magic wasn't strong but it would be enough to prove to her parents that she wasn't wasting her time. Seeing her sister return home she decided that her sister needed her strength scared back into her, "Dance of the Dragon." she waved her fans out toward her sister and the wind dragon took form. Willow felt her magic snap at her and jerked back. The wind dragon wildly flying toward her sister and connecting those wind jaws with the poor girl. She fell to the ground, bloodied and battered by the dragon's assult and Willow's parents ran to her, "You fiend! Your sister is dead! Willow, how could you!" Willow stared at her sister's lifeless body, cut up from her wind illusion and dropped to her knees, "I didn't...I hadn't meant to...mother please!" she begged her mother's forgivness and was rewarded with a cold glare, "Leave. I never want to see your murdering witch face here again!" She slapped Willow hard and Willow had no choice but to run. Her bare feet hit the dirt road hard as she ran to her mentor's home.

2. Username: Christmas Angel
Name: Helena Thea
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance: Link
Good or Evil: Evil
Personality: Typically is quiet and blends into the background. Speaks in a quite voice and doesn't show any emotion most of the time. When she uses her powers she normally smiles with a cruel sense of pride and wishes to bring harm with them but is still a quiet person.
Magic Abilities:

Level One: (Electricity) Electric Touch Electricity flows to her hands and shocks whatever she touches. Isn't very strong at the moment, but is enough to cause pain, if nothing more.
Level Two: (Darkness) Dark Immunity A passive skill that protects her from dark magic and some illusions.
Level Two: (Illusion) Insanity Causes someone to see whatever she wants them too as if they are hallucinations. Only lasts for a minute.
Level Two: (Illusion) Blend Creates the illusion of her or someone else/an object being invisible. Doesn't last very long as she focused more on perfecting it first than it's endurance.
Level Three: (Darkness) Shadow Ball Creates a strong concentration of shadows in her hand which she uses as an attack. In the preview post. Is her most used power since it was the first magic she's ever used.

Bio: Was captured and taken in as a slave at the age of three. When she attacked one of the guards with magic she was allowed her freedom in exchange of becoming an apprentice and swearing loyality to the mentor. She did so, but her loyality lies with the mentor more so than the kingdom. Helena learned fast as if she didn't she feared she would return to the life of slavery and would often train until she passed out. Always thinks that she has something to prove and wishes to be the best.
Extras:
Preview Post: The feeling of darkness... It was cold yet it burned. The shadows formed all about Helena's hands and she stared at it with wide eyes. First she was surprised that she managed such a task, but then she felt pride. Helena moved her fingers and watched as the black mist move with them. Her hand then formed a fist and the mist began to try to escape. But soon it all went into her hand and formed a solid orb which grew as her fingers parted. Her first shadowball. She was so young and she had her first shadowball. Perhaps she was getting ahead of herself, but she began to imagine all of the chaos she would bring to the world. And with the thought came a cruel smile and a quite, twisted laugh.

1.
Username: Maka
Name: Madison
Age: 6
Gender: Female
Appearance: http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii237/shirley_hong/Anime/Princess.jpg
Personality: Sweet, bubbly, excited about life, curious almost all the time about different things though. Trouble tends to often find her. When she's sees that a person is sad, she tries different things to make them smile again.
Skills: Not really any since she's so small.
Position in the Royal Family: Youngest daughter
Bio: Madison is one of the last girls born of the royal family. She likes to play hide-and-seek, spend time in the garden, and it seems like she always gets in trouble but she doesn't mean it. Sometimes she'll make others play with her, but other times she'll be her own entertainment.

Okay, so this is all I got right now because I don't know how many people will be interested in this. There's going to be character slots. Once it's full, no one can make another character for that slot unless I open another one. There's going to be three slots for the sorcerers/sorceresses (since I'm going to take one), two slots for the mentors over the apprentices, five slots for the royal family in Blone, and four slots open for the dark apprentices. Anybody interested? If I get people's interest, I'll list more things down.

 

It sounds interesting. I'm up for joining this

 

Yeah! People are interested! XD Okay, I updated the spells/element thing. What do you think?

 

...Totally joining on the bad guy side.​

 

As you already know, I would like to join.​

 

Sounds like fun~!

 

Posted the profile skeletons. Have fun, kitties. :3

I'll post the actual RP probably tomorrow. Depends on who joins.

 

Username: Twilight_Nobody13
Name: Willow Parenthapaeus
Age: 19
Gender: female
Appearance: http://m16.photobucket.com/image/anime%20female%20mages/MidnightsDragon/Anime/FanMage.jpg.html?src=www
Good or Evil: Evil
Personality: Often cocky about her own powers, she tries to be cold and cares for only herself.
Magic Abilities: ~Level One: Dance of the Dragon (wind and illusion) -- creates a dragon out of wind to slice and dice her enemy (often does not work and is very hard to control)
~Level Two: Wind Rift -- forms a barrier of wind around the user and heals any injuries (example: cannot restore lost limbs and speeds up the healing process of normal wounds to an extent of severity. More severe wounds take more time and energy. A two inch gash would heal within at least four minutes)
~Level Two: Soul Purge (illusion) -- beckons and traps a person's soul within a mirror leaving the body lifeless where it stood. (to be released from the mirror any person would have to crack the mirror. Think being trapped in a glass box)
~Level Two: Blade Dance (illusion) -- animates any sharp weapon in the room to attack for her
~Level Three: Wind Slash (wind) -- sends blades of wind from her fans to slice the enemy
Bio: Willow was raised in the shadow of her elder sister when she started using dark arts. Her wind and her fans became her only company. Abused as a child, Willow formed a strong hatred for her family's love of each other and not her. Willow pushed herself to be better and her eagerness caused a spell she wanted to show off to go haywire and kill her sister. Her family disowned her and she turned to her mentor for family and guidance. Willow took any word she heard from the streets and her mentor seriously and formed a determination to fufil her part in destiny.
Extras: Her fans have knives hidden in them that can be used as an offensive weapon at times.
Preview Post:
Willow stared up at the moon, listening to her mother and father chatise her for another lazy day while her "poor ill" sister had to work. Willow stood and her fans dropped from her sleeves into her hands. Her magic wasn't strong but it would be enough to prove to her parents that she wasn't wasting her time. Seeing her sister return home she decided that her sister needed her strength scared back into her, "Dance of the Dragon." she waved her fans out toward her sister and the wind dragon took form. Willow felt her magic snap at her and jerked back. The wind dragon wildly flying toward her sister and connecting those wind jaws with the poor girl. She fell to the ground, bloodied and battered by the dragon's assult and Willow's parents ran to her, "You fiend! Your sister is dead! Willow, how could you!" Willow stared at her sister's lifeless body, cut up from her wind illusion and dropped to her knees, "I didn't...I hadn't meant to...mother please!" she begged her mother's forgivness and was rewarded with a cold glare, "Leave. I never want to see your murdering witch face here again!" She slapped Willow hard and Willow had no choice but to run. Her bare feet hit the dirt road hard as she ran to her mentor's home.

Good enough, yes?

 

Hm... two spells seem odd. Soul Purge and Wind Rift. How exactly does Wind Rift heal any wound and to what extent does it heal wounds? Like if there was a deep two inch gash (just an example), would it heal that completely? And how do you trap a soul in the mirror? Does the physical body stay in the real world like a lifeless puppet?

Other than that... it seems good. Explain those two spells more indepth, and I'll add your character to the list.

Everyone else, I'll be on and off today. I'll try to have the actual RP up by today, along with my characters. Anybody who wants to sign up as a royal family member, go for it. It's not that bad. You can make them as young as three years old, and make it hard for the apprentices to keep their patience. XDDDDDD

RP is up, check it out soon. It could have things to help you make your characters: http://www.kh-vids.net/showthread.php?106418-A-Ripple-in-the-Pond-Dark-Times&p=3297315#post3297315

 

Can I have a royal family member too then? XD

Profiles will be done soon~

 

Reserved. :3 Bleh. Okay, if we can fill up all the bad and good sorcerers/sorceresses, I might consider opening up more slots. Depends really though... Meaning if I open more slots there, I might open up another mentor slot for each side.

ALL GOOD SORCERER/SORCERESSES ARE FILLED!

 

okay I explained as best I can. It's most likely just as your imagination has portrayed it.

 

Username: AndrewTemari101
Name: Arthur Gallios
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance: http://m301.photobucket.com/image/anime boy with blonde hair/jeanie90/Child9.jpg.html?src=www
Good or Evil: Good
Personality: Arthur is a very bright, young boy. He likes to be kind; he believes how you treat others is how they will treat you. Although, he's not afraid to fight for himself and his friends. Occasionally (mostly while he's fighting), he will become very angry for no reason and become more violent than normal. Arthur tries hard to stop himself, but he can't help it.
Magic Abilities:

• [*]Level One: Air Slice (wind) - Slices an enemy with a quick wind strike.
  [*]Level Two: Shatter Storm (wind) - Summons a tornado that charges at the foe then, after about 5 seconds, disperses 360 degrees with a radius of about 20 meters.
  [*]Level Two: Gale Surge (wind) - Wind shoots from his palm and sends the enemy spiraling backwards.
  [*]Level Two: Tornado Spin (wind) - Surrounds himself with razor-sharp wind that spins him and then he charges at the opponent to cut them rapidly.
  [*]Level Three: Vento Drago (wind & illusion) - Summons and controls a wind dragon that attacks the foe with its claws and tail.

Bio: Arthur grew up without a father. He went to war when Arthur was only 2. Although, it didn't matter to him. His mother was a complete sweetheart and a caring person, always there to make him feel better. Because he was surrounded with love 24/7 from his mother, he learned to always try to be optimistic and care for others like his mother did. But when Arthur was 13, his father returned from war with a deadly illness (but he didn't know because the symptoms didn't appear until he got there). It spread to his mother and they both died. This changed Arthur's life forever. The one person who always cared for him was gone like that. Following what he always believed, he bottled his rage and sadness inside him. But every once and a while, he has to release his hidden emotions (that's why he can get very violent now and then).
Extras: Arthur's fears are fire and snakes.
Preview Post:

Arthur stared aimlessly at the clear, blue sky. When ever he was feeling angry or sad, he always tried to head to a serene forest or waterfall; anywhere he could clear his thoughts and relax. Luckily, both were in his surroundings. He breathed softly, his body finally at peace. He occasionally saw puffy, white clouds glide by his sight of vision. Everything seemed like a perfectly painted nature scene. The sound of rushing water calmed him and he let out a cheerful sigh. "What a beautiful day!" he exclaimed. Arthur felt so peppy, yet relaxed, and he glanced around the perfect senery.

Sorry for the sucky Preview Post Hope it's accepted~!

 

Username: Christmas Angel
Name: Helena Thea
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance: Link
Good or Evil: Evil
Personality: Typically is quiet and blends into the background. Speaks in a quite voice and doesn't show any emotion most of the time. When she uses her powers she normally smiles with a cruel sense of pride and wishes to bring harm with them but is still a quiet person.
Magic Abilities:

Level One: (Electricity) Electric Touch Electricity flows to her hands and shocks whatever she touches. Isn't very strong at the moment, but is enough to cause pain, if nothing more.
Level Two: (Darkness) Dark Immunity A passive skill that protects her from dark magic and some illusions.
Level Two: (Illusion) Insanity Causes someone to see whatever she wants them too as if they are hallucinations. Only lasts for a minute.
Level Two: (Illusion) Blend Creates the illusion of her or someone else/an object being invisible. Doesn't last very long as she focused more on perfecting it first than it's endurance.
Level Three: (Darkness) Shadow Ball Creates a strong concentration of shadows in her hand which she uses as an attack. In the preview post. Is her most used power since it was the first magic she's ever used.

Bio: Was captured and taken in as a slave at the age of three. When she attacked one of the guards with magic she was allowed her freedom in exchange of becoming an apprentice and swearing loyality to the mentor. She did so, but her loyality lies with the mentor more so than the kingdom. Helena learned fast as if she didn't she feared she would return to the life of slavery and would often train until she passed out. Always thinks that she has something to prove and wishes to be the best.
Extras:
Preview Post: The feeling of darkness... It was cold yet it burned. The shadows formed all about Helena's hands and she stared at it with wide eyes. First she was surprised that she managed such a task, but then she felt pride. Helena moved her fingers and watched as the black mist move with them. Her hand then formed a fist and the mist began to try to escape. But soon it all went into her hand and formed a solid orb which grew as her fingers parted. Her first shadowball. She was so young and she had her first shadowball. Perhaps she was getting ahead of herself, but she began to imagine all of the chaos she would bring to the world. And with the thought came a cruel smile and a quite, twisted laugh.

Preview Post: Ahh, do I have to put two preview posts? If I do I'll come back to edit.


Andrew's profiles were so pretty so I just had to copy them DX

 

You're in. ^^

Better now. Thanks for editing. ^^

Help me clear some things up before I accept you. How powerful is Wind Slice? How severe a wound can it make? Shatter Storm... does that blow back an enemy? How powerful can Tornado Spin get? Wouldn't Vinto Drago be an illusion type thing? Sorry to be a tyrant, I just need a little more explanations. ><

Everything is good! But a friend asked me about Dark Immunity. Pride has all shadow powers so... in some way, can you tone it down slightly? Like maybe a limit? >> Everything else is fine.

I posted my character in the actual RP. As soon as we get a mentor for the dark side, we'll start. See if you can invite other people to join on the dark side. ^^
Andrew's profiles were so pretty so I just had to copy them DX

 

I don't mean to be a whiny little ass, but the skill's pretty much 'Immune to Dark, all the time.' That's what a passive skill does. D: I'd be fine if it was a passive ability where you're a bit more /resistant/ to Dark, or an active skill that makes you immune only for a minute or something. It's like saying to Andrew's character 'I have a passive ability that negates all wind attacks.'

 

Username: Twilightblader
Name: Rath Lancent
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Appearance: http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab303/WhiteWolfAsh/Anime_Warrior_by_chaotixwolf.jpg
Good or Evil: Evil
Personality: A near emotionless man with a sense of duty. He is a quiet person who doesn't say anything unless there is something that needs to be said. He follows his orders without question but also has a sense of honor. he avoids unnecessary fighting or killings that do not involve the mission
Magic Abilities:

Spoiler

*Level 1: (Electricity) Blitz Beam: By pointing two fingers he fires a wave of electricity. It has great range but its strength is low only giving the opponent a little shock. Although if fired at close range it can do a fair amount of damage
*Level 2: (Illusion) Mind of Steel: With concentration he can shatter any binding illusions. The negative effect is that he will feel mental pain dependent on how strong the illusion is
*Level 2: (Illusion) Magic shield: By raising his arm he can produce a shield that blocks anything infront of him. It take strength to hold up the shield and can injure his arm if the shield is held up too long
*Level 2: (Illusion) Magnetic pull: By using his mind he can call inanimate objects towards him. It works better with things that belong to him
*Level 3: (Illusion) Blade Materialization: Using his mind he can summon swords out of thin air. The quality of these swords are dependent. At this stage he can only create normal swords that may sometimes shatter at unexpected times, but the technique can eventually lead to the creation of other swords. It takes concentration to make a sword so the better he understands a blade the more easier it is for him to create a perfect sword. Too much use can create mental pain

Bio: As a young boy living in Blone, Rath aspired to become a knight, but that all changed when Rath began to show some magical potential. His mother and father died trying to save him from the townspeople and Rath barely managed to escape the kingdom of Blone. He was eventually found and taken to Turley. Following his goal of becoming a knight he joined and rose up the ranks while making an oath to serve the kingdom no matter what. As time passed he began to see the dark side of Turley and no matter how much it pained him to follow the kingdom's orders, he had to follow them because of his oath. To resist going mad he gave up any happiness he felt and turned his mind into steel. Eventually the magical powers he was trying to hide had been revealed but unlike in Blone, he was instead ordered to become an apprentice of a mentor.
Extras:
Preview Post: Rath stood alone in what appeared to be his room. The room didn't have much, only the basic necessities like his clothes anad a bed and other personal belongings like his weaponry. He was not someone who cared about his room as it was just a place to sleep and store things. Rath looked over at a broadsword he owned and closed his eyes and put out his hand concentration...creation Rath thought to himself as a broadsword appeared in the palm of his hand. Rath immediately grabbed the broadsword and looked at the magnificent blade that he created. "worthless" Rath merely said. With that he immediately slashed the wall beside him lightly only for the swords to shatter upon contact
