    Hey! I’m taking over from SORA, so now you’d better all do as I say. :P This is here so we can work out what’s going on and even discuss where to take it. ^,^ Also where we can say ‘Wth is going on now?’ without spamming up the thread. I’ve editted a few things so please read over.


    For centuries Witches and Wizards have been hunted and excuted brutally just for being different. Things have not changed since then.
    The year is 2121, Witches and Wizards are widely known about and those who are caught are killed. Most are smart and hide their powers - Affinities with the four elements, each Witch or Wizard has one. Others try and rebel against the mortals, using their powers. This only ends badly for both sides.
    Though there is a place, an orphanage for young Witches and Wizards. The staff there teaches them not to hate the mortals and how to control their powers, and their emotions. It is here the rebellion first started and it is here it still resides in a few teenagers who seek revenge for their fallen kin. Most put their heads down and ignore what is going on, but when others are being forced into joining the rebellion. The others must fight back and put a stop to things before the human and Magical races are wiped out completely. However when the orphanage is attacked and the students seperated, they need to get to safety without causing a war in the process.

    The only question is...what side are you on?

    Affinites:
    Fire – The ability to control fire. People with this are passionate and ambitious, often leaders. However they are fiery and can be quick to anger. Their fire can cause great destruction without proper control, but if used right it can be a sign of rebirth and life.

    Water – The ability to manipulate water. These people are usually calm and conscientious. They are seen to be graceful and dislike fighting, it takes a lot to bring them to anger, though when they do they are a force to be reckoned with.

    Air – The ability to manipulate air. These people value freedom greatly. They are life loving and value the simple things in life. They are usually quite happy go lucky, always doing something, never stopping, and as a result can seem quite unpredictable. They value peace and justice. They fight only when they feel it is needed to protect those around them though do enjoy having fun and messing around.

    Earth – The ability to control Earth. These people are down to earth, they are hard working and hardy. They can get through anything as long as they have hope. They are sometimes seen as weak as they don’t usually show off or give great shows of power, unless it is really required. This leads to them often being underestimated but when it comes down to it they can deliver.

    Name: Haley
    Age: 18
    Appearance:http://good-wallpapers.com/pictures/4345/anime_girl_wallpaper_.jpg She is exteremly small and as a result is often mistaken for being much younger than she is. Though when she wants to, she can show her age, and create the impression she should be listened to and not messed with.
    Affinity: Air
    Bio: Haley's parents were killed when she was very young and she has very few memories before she came to the Orphanage. She went to the Orphanage longer than most of the people there. She quickly learnt all the secret places in the place from her exploring, she enjoyed getting away from everyone in a place where privacy was so hard to come by. She always seemed to be in a good mood, finding pleasure in simple things and never seemed to stop moving. She studied hard, learning all she could from books and her lessons. She's had very little expirience of the outside world but learnt all she could about it. She also worked had to learn to control her affinity, in private coming up with new ways to use it - even discoviering a way that she could use it to fly. As she got older she developed a crush on Andrew but she also began to look after kids younger than her and helping them through what she went through alone, taking a particular shine to Maddie. On top of this she had been aware of the growing resistance in the Orphanage. She did not hate the humans though she perfectly understood what they felt. She wanted justice too, however she knew that this was not the way to go about it. What they were doing would simply start a war which would end badly for both sides. When the Orphanage was attacked and they escaped, she felt the need to look after everyone and has become the group's unofficial leader.
    Other: She will only fight when it is really needed, she just wants peace and justice. She is very nimble and agile, she looks like she is dancing when she fights.

    Name: Ulrich Ravenhardt
    Age: 17
    Appearance:
    Height: 5'9"
    Eye Color: Amber
    Hair Color: Black
    Clothing: Red trench coat (leather), blue jeans, work boots, plain white T-shirt
    Accessories: Fingerless black gloves (leather, studded knuckles), silver locket w/ chain (inside is a picture of his previous family; the exterior has an engraving of the moon with a pentagram in its center)
    Scars: Ulrich has scars from bullet wounds and blades all about his torso, and along his right shoulder is a long, ragged scar that came from a wicked looking blade. His hands, without the gloves, reveal large puncture marks.
    Affinity: Earth
    Personality:
    Ulrich appears to be a lazy, happy-go-lucky boy whose smile often shows ignorance and bliss. However, deep down, he's like every other orphan. Hurt and lonely. Like his fellow witch and wizard, he harbors strong hatred towards those who had done him wrong. However, he's quite sensible and will not attack anyone out of spite. Though he's level-headed and calm, Ulrich tends to be a clown and a smartass. He also has a strong desire to be anonymous, not wanting to be the reason that those he cares for to be hurt. He is willing to take a beating and he will never give up, regardless how grave the situation seems...

    Ulrich doesn't like to be seen as strong, and so he forces himself to appear as weak as possible. Nevertheless, he is only as strong as he is intelligent. Ulrich can be creative, at times, and is often clever. He often tries to weasel his way out of trouble, but has no qualms in interfering with other's affairs, so long as it is the right thing to do.

    Ulrich's knowledge of earth magic stems from geology and astronomy, both of which he learned at a young age from his foster parents. Because of this, and his own flexible way of thinking, he could be a very powerful earth-wizard if he truly aspired to be. An interesting personality trait of his is his charisma. His charisma is born from his friendly-nature and his ability to sympathize with everyone on a very emotional level. Due to this, he is also a very self-sacrificing person, willing to do anything for those around him. Although, hypocritically, he does not burden people with his own problems. This may be due to his desire to remain anonymous and to keep them detached from him.

    Another positive personality trait he possesses is that he will keep all of his promises. Especially one in particular...
    Bio:
    Ulrich doesn't remember his original family, but he does remember waking up in a laboratory of sorts with a man and woman looking down at him. The man, middle-aged and rough, had cynical eyes; dull, cold, tired. The woman, however, had eyes of compassion; bright, warm, lively. Ulrich was young when he had met them, only seven years old. He was badly wounded when he was found, it's a wonder he even survived. Ulrich came to know them as "mother" and "father". Ulrich was already told by the old man, a doctor he stated, that they were not his parents... but this didn't stop Ulrich from creating that familial bond. The old man served as Ulrich's teacher, and Ulrich was taught the subjects of alchemy, ranging from geology, minerology, and even to astronomy. To the old alchemist's surprise, Ulrich was an astute child and eventually opened up the master-apprentice relationship. That relationship deepened when Ulrich spent time with his foster mother. Ulrich helped her with the garden, and even revealed his magical nature to them. They were regular humans, of course, but the alchemist found it to be an academical goldmine to his research. The woman, of course, found it an impressive talent and even gave Ulrich praise for when their garden became lush and rich. Over the past five years, Ulrich was eventually an official family member and had adopted the surname "Ravenhardt", son and apprentice to Doctor Ravenhardt, the physician and alchemist of the village.

    Ulrich had many friends, but when his secret got out, the parents forbade their children from seeing him. Eventually, everyone in the village ignored the existence of their residential doctor. As the death toll in the village rose, so to did the attention. The military took initiative to investigate the village. They listened to the rumors the villagers had and eventually they paid a visit to the doctor and his wife. They were interrogated and they denied everything. The military left the village for some time and returned a month later, a raiding party at its back. Torches and blades and guns were raised, poised, and ready. They assaulted the village, burning it all to the ground, slaughtering everyone that got in their way. Men, women, and children... they were all killed indiscriminately. Eventually, they came to the Ravenhardt clinic. The doctor and his wife ushered the young Ulrich out through the cellar. And he ran, but not before hearing the bone-chilling screams, the cacophony of destruction, that occurred above. Ulrich ran and ran until he found a way out. He exited a small cave that was only a mile away from the village, and there he saw the flames and smoke beyond the horizon of trees.

    Ulrich cried. He felt alone, but ultimately he felt hurt. It felt as if his heart had been ripped out of his chest and shoved down his throat. He couldn't breathe, he couldn't stop crying. The pain was unbearable. Ulrich didn't leave, and simply sat against the cave wall, bawling his eyes out. In a matter of hours, he stopped crying and became catatonic. The sounds of marching didn't even stir Ulrich, and even when the source arrived, he didn't move. They were there, glaring at him, their expression was one of disgust. When they aimed their weapons, however, Ulrich stared at them, his eyes devoid of emotion despite his saddened expression. A spark of anger ignited within him, and that anger quickly became an inferno of rage. The earth arose and swallowed them up, but their heads were still above the ground. Ulrich didn't show any emotion. He let them stay there, crushing them slowly. Their screams and howls lasted for hours, until eventually they died. Ulrich passed out from the effort.

    When he next woke up, he was still near the cave, being pelted with rain and those exposed heads of the soldiers remained wide awake, frozen in a silent scream. Ulrich felt nothing for them. He left them, lost in a haze of despair. He ventured from village to village, town to town, and city to city. Each place he visited, he killed soldiers and he killed many people, making them choke on the dust in the air, making them be crushed by the buildings, and even murdering them with his barehands. His fits of rage were uncontrollable, and he was forced to flee. This happened for two years, until he met another orphaned wizard. She was older than he was and she was beautiful. Her hair was long and dark, her eyes were the same shade as his, and she was truly perfect. She wore a red leather trench coat. She took him in and they lived in a hut outside of civilization and on a farm. Ulrich remained cold and distant, and his new small family with three other Affinities didn't affect him as much as he would've liked. Eventually he came to love them, and in a year, he confessed his sins to Rosie, the woman who took him in. She believed in forgiveness, she told him. She held him tightly thereon, preaching to him how much he meant to her. Rosie was well known for her compassion. She saw everyone she had assisted as family and loved them deeply. One month afterwards, Ulrich became more open, following the advice of Rosie. He became fast friends with those around him and eventually developed a special connection with Rosie, who was also an earth-user. He looked up to her and helped her whenever.

    Eventually, she gave Ulrich a gift. It was a silver locket, and inside was a picture of her and himself, with the three other children who were much younger than Ulrich. To his dismay, however, tragedy befell them as the military discovered their whereabouts. It was a smaller unit, but they ambushed the hut. The first to go was Rosie, and Ulrich stood where he was, his legs shaking. He couldn't move, he was torn apart, truly devastated. The children were killed systematically as they were huddled together, crying. When they saw Ulrich, he stopped his shaking and howled in rage and despair. The entire hut exploded as a multitude of spikes appeared, and on each spike was a soldier, dead or dying as they were impaled upon them. It rained again, and he felt nostalgic. He heard a soft, gentle voice calling his name. It took Ulrich a moment to find the source... Rosie. He approached her quickly, holding her tight and begging her not to die. They both knew she wouldn't live. She told him that she loved him, that she knew he was special. He was meant for something great. Ulrich couldn't say anything, he simply lay his own forehead on her's. "Promise me that you won't go after any more soldiers... that you won't kill anyone else..." she begged him, coughing. "Forgive them... please... for me..." she added, reaching around weakly to stroke his dark hair. Rosie was smiling. Ulrich didn't have the strength to speak, and so he simply nodded as best as he could. Her smile widened and she pecked on last kiss on Ulrich's forehead, sighing contently.

    Ulrich mourned her death throughout the night, unable to sleep. When it became time, he stripped her of her jacket and donned it upon himself, burying Rosie and the children upon that farm. He made their headstones with the rocks he conjured, and their names were engraved upon it. From that moment on, Ulrich died and was reborn in the image of Rosie. He left the farm and ventured the globe, searching for a home that would never fade away...
    Other: Ulrich is smarter than he appears, and is often a tad bit more wiser due to his perception of things. He's also very good at conserving his magic, allowing him to appear to have more endurance than the average earth wizard. Unlike most earth users, Ulrich prefers to use dust.

    Username: Firekeyblade
    Name: Andrew
    Age: 19
    Appearance: http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd126/Firekeyblade/Brownhairboy.jpg
    Affinity: (Only ONE allowed) Earth
    Bio: Andrew had been staying at the orphanage for quite some time as well. Just like all the others his family had been killed in cold blood and he desired to just do something about it. Seeing his family murdered sort of rendered him into an emotionless state. His harbored hatred for them made him sort of head the rebellion at the orphanage. Jellal was his right hand man and buddy. When he turned 18 he left the orphanage, restless to do something about the inner fear he had. He wanted to feel something other than hatred or fear. He wanted to feel alive and happy for once. Once he left, the first thing he wanted to do was to cause some chaos and destruction for the humans he so despised. Andrew rampaged through towns, causing earthquakes and laying destruction of buildings all around. It was so easy. Make the ground unstable and the soldiers can't even shoot. It was so enjoyable. He laughed for the first time in ages. THis was fun. It was then he heard a shout to stop. Who would dare ruin his fun? They would pay for that. It was then he caught a rock flying at him by controlling it and stopping it before hitting him. The source was a boy. He was crying. Andrew could see his parents' bloodied bodies nearby. The child was probably no older than he was when his own parents were killed. And now he had done the same to this boy. Instantly, Andrew dropped any earth that he was about to use to crush more things. The next rock missed. The rock after that whizzed by. The one after that hit him square on the head. But Andrew was too numbed by his realization to care. Revenge wasn't the answer. That was for sure. And now he had to go back to the orphanage to tell Jellal. No doubt Jellal was now like him before he realized what he had done.
    Other: Despite having an affinity for earth, Andrew can have quite the temper, rivalling those of a fire affinity's. He's turned into more of a gentle person since then. He doesn't know the fate of the boy since he just sort of sunk into the ground and disappeared reappearing somewhere else to get away from that town.

The man, middle-aged and rough, had cynical eyes; dull, cold, tired. The woman, however, had eyes of compassion; bright, warm, lively. Ulrich was young when he had met them, only seven years old. He was badly wounded when he was found, it's a wonder he even survived. Ulrich came to know them as "mother" and "father". Ulrich was already told by the old man, a doctor he stated, that they were not his parents... but this didn't stop Ulrich from creating that familial bond. The old man served as Ulrich's teacher, and Ulrich was taught the subjects of alchemy, ranging from geology, minerology, and even to astronomy. To the old alchemist's surprise, Ulrich was an astute child and eventually opened up the master-apprentice relationship. That relationship deepened when Ulrich spent time with his foster mother. Ulrich helped her with the garden, and even revealed his magical nature to them. They were regular humans, of course, but the alchemist found it to be an academical goldmine to his research. The woman, of course, found it an impressive talent and even gave Ulrich praise for when their garden became lush and rich. Over the past five years, Ulrich was eventually an official family member and had adopted the surname "Ravenhardt", son and apprentice to Doctor Ravenhardt, the physician and alchemist of the village.

    Ulrich had many friends, but when his secret got out, the parents forbade their children from seeing him. Eventually, everyone in the village ignored the existence of their residential doctor. As the death toll in the village rose, so to did the attention. The military took initiative to investigate the village. They listened to the rumors the villagers had and eventually they paid a visit to the doctor and his wife. They were interrogated and they denied everything. The military left the village for some time and returned a month later, a raiding party at its back. Torches and blades and guns were raised, poised, and ready. They assaulted the village, burning it all to the ground, slaughtering everyone that got in their way. Men, women, and children... they were all killed indiscriminately. Eventually, they came to the Ravenhardt clinic. The doctor and his wife ushered the young Ulrich out through the cellar. And he ran, but not before hearing the bone-chilling screams, the cacophony of destruction, that occurred above. Ulrich ran and ran until he found a way out. He exited a small cave that was only a mile away from the village, and there he saw the flames and smoke beyond the horizon of trees.

    Ulrich cried. He felt alone, but ultimately he felt hurt. It felt as if his heart had been ripped out of his chest and shoved down his throat. He couldn't breathe, he couldn't stop crying. The pain was unbearable. Ulrich didn't leave, and simply sat against the cave wall, bawling his eyes out. In a matter of hours, he stopped crying and became catatonic. The sounds of marching didn't even stir Ulrich, and even when the source arrived, he didn't move. They were there, glaring at him, their expression was one of disgust. When they aimed their weapons, however, Ulrich stared at them, his eyes devoid of emotion despite his saddened expression. A spark of anger ignited within him, and that anger quickly became an inferno of rage. The earth arose and swallowed them up, but their heads were still above the ground. Ulrich didn't show any emotion. He let them stay there, crushing them slowly. Their screams and howls lasted for hours, until eventually they died. Ulrich passed out from the effort.

    When he next woke up, he was still near the cave, being pelted with rain and those exposed heads of the soldiers remained wide awake, frozen in a silent scream. Ulrich felt nothing for them. He left them, lost in a haze of despair. He ventured from village to village, town to town, and city to city. Each place he visited, he killed soldiers and he killed many people, making them choke on the dust in the air, making them be crushed by the buildings, and even murdering them with his barehands. His fits of rage were uncontrollable, and he was forced to flee. This happened for two years, until he met another orphaned wizard. She was older than he was and she was beautiful. Her hair was long and dark, her eyes were the same shade as his, and she was truly perfect. She wore a red leather trench coat. She took him in and they lived in a hut outside of civilization and on a farm. Ulrich remained cold and distant, and his new small family with three other Affinities didn't affect him as much as he would've liked. Eventually he came to love them, and in a year, he confessed his sins to Rosie, the woman who took him in. She believed in forgiveness, she told him. She held him tightly thereon, preaching to him how much he meant to her. Rosie was well known for her compassion. She saw everyone she had assisted as family and loved them deeply. One month afterwards, Ulrich became more open, following the advice of Rosie. He became fast friends with those around him and eventually developed a special connection with Rosie, who was also an earth-user. He looked up to her and helped her whenever.

    Eventually, she gave Ulrich a gift. It was a silver locket, and inside was a picture of her and himself, with the three other children who were much younger than Ulrich. To his dismay, however, tragedy befell them as the military discovered their whereabouts. It was a smaller unit, but they ambushed the hut. The first to go was Rosie, and Ulrich stood where he was, his legs shaking. He couldn't move, he was torn apart, truly devastated. The children were killed systematically as they were huddled together, crying. When they saw Ulrich, he stopped his shaking and howled in rage and despair. The entire hut exploded as a multitude of spikes appeared, and on each spike was a soldier, dead or dying as they were impaled upon them. It rained again, and he felt nostalgic. He heard a soft, gentle voice calling his name. It took Ulrich a moment to find the source... Rosie. He approached her quickly, holding her tight and begging her not to die. They both knew she wouldn't live. She told him that she loved him, that she knew he was special. He was meant for something great. Ulrich couldn't say anything, he simply lay his own forehead on her's. "Promise me that you won't go after any more soldiers... that you won't kill anyone else..." she begged him, coughing. "Forgive them... please... for me..." she added, reaching around weakly to stroke his dark hair. Rosie was smiling. Ulrich didn't have the strength to speak, and so he simply nodded as best as he could. Her smile widened and she pecked on last kiss on Ulrich's forehead, sighing contently.

    Ulrich mourned her death throughout the night, unable to sleep. When it became time, he stripped her of her jacket and donned it upon himself, burying Rosie and the children upon that farm. He made their headstones with the rocks he conjured, and their names were engraved upon it. From that moment on, Ulrich died and was reborn in the image of Rosie. He left the farm and ventured the globe, searching for a home that would never fade away...
    Other: Ulrich is smarter than he appears, and is often a tad bit more wiser due to his perception of things. He's also very good at conserving his magic, allowing him to appear to have more endurance than the average earth wizard. Unlike most earth users, Ulrich prefers to use dust.



    EDIT: Also, be warned that the bio MIGHT be too graphic.

    You know, it's strangely tempting to make an antagonist for this RP... x.x

    Depending on how things go, Jellal will most likely end up being either a major protagonist or antagonist. Andrew will likely be the opposite.

    Seems that way, honestly. Nevertheless, I'm still tempted to make an Air Affinity that's just pure evil. Would be fun.

    lol, only if it's alright with Midnight. But, in the mean time, I'll go ahead and whip one up just to keep myself entertained.

    o.0 Wow, that is a hell of an OC.

    And about the evil air person, you can do if you want but if you don't mind I suggest you wait before bringing them in. As it stands tensions are high anyway and the 'resistance' already outnumbers the others. So, wait until things have cooled down a little and we actually can see who's on which side. If things get too cosy and nice, bring him in.

    Oh and updated everyone else's OCs. I just need to do mine now.
