The story takes place in the world of Ancora, filled with supernatural forces and shadowy creatures known as the Stalkers. Prior to the events of the RP, mankind waged a battle of survival against the Stalkers before discovering how to harness an energy called Aura (magic) to combat these creatures. In the present day, Aura is used to power magical abilities and weapons, often being sold in sold in items and weapons for both every day use and battle. Those who use these abilities to battle the Stalkers are known as Magisters. The RP will focus on four or five characters, each with his own unique weapon and powers. Together, they will form a team at Magister Academy in the city of Fortitudo, where they will be trained to become official Magisters alongside their fellow classmates. Up until now, mankind had been living in the simple bliss of believe they had finally found peace and a way to survive, but the world is still an unforgiving place and new evil begins to grow within the safety of the cities.
This is just a rough idea so far, but this is the gist of my idea. There are a few things that I should probably explain further, just in case there are some questions.
The World of Ancora:
The world will be semi futuristic in terms of weaponry & some military transportation, but for the most part it's modern day technology (cellphones, cars, plans, boats, etc.). The only real increase in technology was put toward public safety, military vehicles & weapons made to fend off the Stalkers.
Aura:
Aura is basically magic, more commonly used to control the elements or enhance physical capabilities. Most humans are born only with one or two types of Aura, but depending on the Aura types they already posses it is possible to learn how to use new types. This is highly frowned upon, for having multiple Aura types can cause great strain to the Magister's body.
Weapons & Items:
One of the more popular types of weapon used to combat Stalkers are the "gun blade." The concept is pretty self explanatory, but they can range to any type of weapon with endless possibilities (gauntlets that shoot with every blow, war hammer that send off explosive charges with every hit, a bow that changes into a sword, etc.). Also, it is common for normal weaponry and items to be charmed with aura, allowing Magisters to wield multiple types of Aura without causing the physical strains they cause naturally.
Magister Academy:
This is a school with students ranging from 17-21, though in some cases they can be even younger. This is the final stretch before one can become an official Magister. This being said, the students are often still called upon to take on jobs.
I'm really bad at explaining things, so feel free to ask questions if you're interested! >_< This is an idea I really wanted to try out, but it's still a work in progress so I'd love players who are willing to give ideas, creative criticism, & of course would like to stay committed to the idea. I also have a CS made to give an idea of what the characters can be like.
•Anthony Cross•
“As a kid, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books... Someone who fought for what was right and protected people who couldn't protect themselves!"
Sex: Male
Weapon: Holy Reaper - Holy Reapers's frame is colored white with black trims, with its large scythe blade forged into a crescent shape, an insignia of angelic wings engraved onto the circular swivel frame where the blade meets the shaft. The most notable property of Holy Reaper is its converting frame: it allows Holy Reaper to transform to different modes of combat, from a full-scale scythe and sniper rifle form to a condensed rifle form. It can also fold up tightly and be holstered for easy convenient transportation, stored at Anthony's waist. Also, though it appears to be a bolt-action weapon, it does not need to be in its gun mode to fire. In order to use Holy Reaper to its fullest potential, it is imperative that the wielder have a great amount of skill in the use of a scythe in combat. In particular, the user would have to deal with Holy Reaper's massive recoil: rather than compensate for it, Anthony uses the recoil to amplify his overall combat prowess. He also uses the recoil to enhance his mobility in combat; firing shots to propel himself short distances, using it to simultaneously attack and evade. He also uses his weapon's recoil to launch himself further higher in the air. In melee combat, Anthony can fire a shot immediately before a swing, using the recoil to accelerate the scythe to increase the force and speed of his attack. He can also embed the scythe's blade into the ground to prevent the weapon's recoil from changing his current position or stance. (Side note: the bullet capacity for Holy Reaper is 50 rounds, giving Anthony a good amount of ammo to last him in a short battle without having to worry about reloading.)
Skills/Aura Type:
•Speed - Anthony can move at extreme speeds and not suffer from any sort of fatigue with help from his weapon and occasionally his Wind Aura
•Wind Aura Type - Although Anthony has the ability to manipulate wind and the air, he hardly ever uses his abilities due to his lack of control over his own Aura. This causes him to rely almost solely on his abilities in physical combat.
•Extremely Acrobatic - Anthony is capable of performing all sorts of maneuvers, often using the recoil of his weapon to preform them. This also allows him to preform combat in midair when necessary.
Age: 17
Appearance: Anthony has semi messy light brown hair, green eyes, and olive tones complexion. Standing at 5'11", he is fairly muscular & of course in good shape, needing to be in order fight as a Magister. He wears a fitted forest green hoodie over a white T-shirt, black cargo shorts, and black and white high top converse sneakers. He also wears belts of sniper ammunition on his waist and usually keeps his Holy Reaper strapped to the back of his waists in its compacted rifle form.
Personality/Description: Anthony is childish by nature as well as in his fighting style. He can be impulsive, naïve, and innocent, but when needed, he can be serious and dependable. These traits can be scene in his lack of social graces, hopelessly positive outlook on things, & how much of a clutz he can be outside of battle. Anthony is also a self-proclaimed dork when it comes to weapons; he is quite intelligent, having designed and built Holy Reaper during his stay with his uncle, although he admits to going "a little overboard" with its design. It is also notable that he has a strong sense of moral justice, aspiring to be like the heroes from the stories he loved so much as a child.
