Magic, the power to  influence the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces. By definition this is what magic is. Most have believed this to be nothing more than myth written in religious text in the form of individuals walking on water or Deities capable of holding and releasing bolts of lightning from their grasp. It has also been seen in history books as entertainment made by males and females alike involving everything from sawing an individual in half to disappearing acts...Illusions and nothing more. However, the belief that magic was an existing element of life was thought of to be preposterous and ludicrous if one was to ask...Or was it?  It is argued that magic has always been around but has laid dormant for a long time, yet there were theories that many famous inventors and physicists had managed to tap into this magic after research and study, with one of the most notable being Nikolai Tesla. Fast forward to the beginnings of the second world war where the blame of Germany’s loss in the first world war was put upon lesser species’ bloodlines including hybrid ‘mutts’ and lead the nazi leader to proclaim that they were “an insult to nature and order with their very existence.” Over the course of the war millions upon millions of subspecies and hybrids would be systematically killed by the war machine.

Now within the regime there was a group known as Drittes Auge, or the Third Eye, a subsection to Germany’s physics research and development program that dabbled in magic and the occult. Here, scientists and doctors experimented on test subjects acquired by Gestapo agents in order to validate anything discovered in the relation to magic’s existence. They had created a device that was meant to measure the density of their magical aura, which in turn determined what bloodlines were the most powerful. It worked similar to a geiger counter but with results that varied. It would seem even those whose bloodlines were pure could show results that were negative and hybrids with positive results and vise versa. Either way, those deemed “weak” were removed from their society and placed in camps.

The Occult based program had eventually stumbled upon an old relic deep in the jungles, pictures of what seemed to be depicting gods of different species and elements carved into into the bell shaped object. Unseen by the naked eye, this relics glowed ever so dimly when reviewed through video. Scientists soon began to experiment with them, coming to the conclusion that with other information they had gathered, specifically information pertaining to runes and rituals, these objects seemed to react, letting of light hums of vibration and glowing hieroglyphs from the engravings. They had tried multiple times and it would seem that the only response they would receive is the normal hum. So focus on the relics were put on hiatus and instead focus was brought back to their original plans, Die Glocke.

Dubbed “the Bell” by the special division, its purpose was classified to all those outside of the group but from within, it was the supposed time machine that was being built in the hopes of...time travel. Construction and testing originally started off with results similar to those of the relic however one scientist had taken notice that when the tests on the Die Glocke were being performed, The relic would emit more of an “Ohm” sound as it would spark. So, one of the scientist decided to bring the relic into the same facility that Die Glocke was in, in the hopes that there would be a better reaction than before.

The next test on Die Glocke would mark the beginning of a new era with its own destruction. As testing began, there had been a fluctuation within the levels given off by the energy The Bell released. Within two minutes, a massive spike of energy shot through the bell, causing it to release a blast of static energy that engulfed the room and the relic, resulting in what is now known as “The Awakening”. As the relic was hit with the blast, it absorbed some of that energy, sending a vibration into an unknown plane of existence. This vibration awoken the Deities that people now know of and worship. With this day, focus was primarily put into the relic and its newly discovered secrets.

The year is 1947 and the second World War is over but the damage done to the people of Europe was ultimately burned into the minds of its people. Alongside the damage, countries around the world have taken Nazis occultism and turned it into something more useful and practical with much of the gathered documentation from german research departments guiding their paths. There had seemed to be some truths behind what the German research department had found relating to these deities and Die Glocke as many researchers managed to make pacts of their own and in turn passed down the information to the rest of their people who had then begun making their own packs. It is unknown as to what will become of this new world, but one thing is for certain. There will be change, and it will be permanent. It’s just whether or not that change will be for the better or worse.


So this RP will take place in an anthropomorphic world during a new magical era in the late 40s. Some of you may be asking why is this furry based at all. Well the answer is simple, this was inspired by another RP we were in that it was also an anthropomorphic story. Difference was however it took place in a post-apocalyptic world and sadly it died. We didn't want to abandon the story that was created and we didn't want to lose our characters on because of the commitment we put into it soooo...We decided to make one of our own. It took a lot of time to make and we are quite happy with the results. Before we continue we do have a few rules.


1. Follow the RPG rules and Code of Conduct
2. The GMs have final say...plain and simple.
3. We expect a minimum of 2 paragraph posts, nothing less but more is great. However, please be aware we want you to make sure that you understand quality is better than quantity. We would rather see two solid paragraphs that are coherent and concise than 4 paragraphs of filler nonsense.
4. Sacrafices will need GM approval (either Zverda or Hawlin)
5. Questions regarding weaponry can be answered by our weapons expert Foster.
6. We welcome combat, but attacks that hit should be approved by the opposing player. Any discrepancies between opponents will be brought to the GMs' attention so we can determine if the attack hits or settle any issues that arise.
7. Vulgar language and sexual scenes should be kept on a pg-13 level. Anything else considered MA is to be brought into private messages. Though we are more lenient on language.
8. We reserve the right to add, modify or remove the rules as we see fit so please be aware if something is a rule now, may not be in the future.
9. You may NOT move any character into the Character tab unless it has been approved. If this happens you will be asked to remove that Character until it is approved.
10. We will give you three chances on character creation. Simple things like grammar, punctuation and spelling WILL effect your approval. These three things are simple yet important.
11. Finally, we expect some dedication to this RP as we have had in creating it. Please be aware that holding up characters due to absences slow the progress of an rp to a crawl or worse. So we ask that you DO NOT sign up if you cannot fit this RP into your daily schedule. We understand irl is irl and should anything come up inform one of the four of us. Failure to do so will result in your terminal action from this RP and character death which we hold the right to.

After you have read the rules please be sure to add into your CS your favorite animal. Once approved, we will pm you our discord chat so you may be in closer contact to us and your fellow roleplayers. Thank you kindly.







Your list of deities, their sacrifices and their respectable dominions. This also includes the way sacrifices work and how magic works.

Very interesting, I may end up making a character for this Monday, although weekends are generally a bad time for me to get on and post so if that is too much of a problem I will just lurk. Couple questions and thoughts that occurred to me though.

First of all it seems that the 'Gods' demand a sacrifice of the very things they value most therefore weakening the 'Priest' in the very element they wish to gain power in. I'm assuming that's because that's the very thing that feeds the 'Gods' own power?

Also, how do magic items work? Or do they not yet exist?

Is it possible to study multiple schools of magic or make more then one great sacrifice?

Are the answers to these questions just aspects that have yet to be discovered?

First question: There are no priest, just mages and the element of the God they sacrifice too is actually strengthened as it becomes their Specialization

Second Question: Items can be imbued with magical capabilities iirc, but that is more of a @FallenTrinity call

Third Question: No... No you cannot. You get one Permanent Sacrifice and that is it

@Zardoric

Magic imbued items are around however because it is still a fairly new element to the world, I would say they are simple and somewhat iffy in its function (meaning it might or might not work) however I'll work out the kinks of it with my GMs

@Zverda
"While clerics shout of heresy and theft, scholars return with accusations of flagellation and making deals with demons"

I meant the clerics referred to here, as clerics are of the priestly persuasion; and I think you misunderstood my observation. I'm perfectly aware the the sacrifice makes you stronger, it was merely my observation that the 'Gods' gained more power from your sacrifice than you did yourself, and gave you only a portion of that power.

And one of my questions was missed, understandable as it was part of a two part question.

Can mages study multiple schools of magic? Conjuration/Alteration/Abject

Would a character focused on studying the ability to focus magic into matter in order to create magical items be acceptable? I'm thinking a fairly young character that got out of fighting in the war by becoming a scientist, and after the war has jumped feet first into trying to discover the Mysteries of Magic.

@Zardoric Ah, I apologize for the misunderstanding there. Upon the Sacrifice the God simply doubles your Mana Well, it appears that that was something we have forgotten to include, but we will amend that shortly. As far as studying multiples, you can but that would make you fall under the Versatile Category rather than Specializations.

As for your last question @FallenTrinity would be the best person to answer that.

-"I would believe so. The gods are a bit assholish in that sense but yes"

Also, how do magic items work? Or do they not yet exist?
-"Magical items do exist however, they are in the infant stages of development since this is information taken by the Axis during the war and are still being looked through so they are more simple than anything. Magic is placed into items via Runes, chants or prayers etched into the item. Power is then drawn into it, allowing the item to have magical properties.. More witll be explained later on as we flesh out the mechanics a bit more"

Is it possible to study multiple schools of magic or make more then one great sacrifice?
-"It is possible to study more than one school but that is what the versitilty section is for in the CS but sadly there can only be one sacrifice (great, important, significant, etc)

Would a character focused on studying the ability to focus magic into matter in order to create magical items be acceptable?
-"do you mean like a runesmaster or something akin to that?"

I'm thinking a fairly young character that got out of fighting in the war by becoming a scientist, and after the war has jumped feet first into trying to discover the Mysteries of Magic.
-"Tell me what you define as fairly young. Also, as far as "getting out of the war" I would be ok with it being like "i was army corp of engineers helping outwith the manhatten project then....magic...now im working on studying that...got out and continued my study" kinda deal but I suggest overall give me like a quick bio to help me understand. ^^

I'm intrigued. I've always been a sucker for the sacrifice-for-more-power deal and the idea of RPing a one-armed mage of sorts has always been floating around sort of, 'n with Kralkatorrik Draskeleth this even overlaps with my favorite branch of magic. I'm not sure yet if I can commit to this RP enough to give it justice, so allow me to dwell on the matter for a day or so.

Don't mind me, just a humble deaf bartending arms-dealer with their own personal tank.

Totes didn't sacrifice their hearing for magic. Don't know what you're talkin 'bout. Here, have a drink.

Fire magic sounds very interesting. Especially so given the lack of voice which the character can have to have gained greater power. Anyways, I'll be watching this.
