Had a thought for a bartender who only took the job because "it's the easiest way to learn about a town and its people". Learning how to human from a bunch of drunks, what could go wrong?
From a land where the concept of magic existed, you found yourself in a world where such things are non-existent. Whether you will try to find a way home or stay where you are, it's all up to you on this planet called Earth.
Plot
You are a being of fantasy, hailing from the world of Anima Mundi, where the concepts of magic, knights, demons, and other such stuff are reality. You were carving up your story as an adventurer, royalty, mage, or whatever you were back there, doing your job as best as you could to face whatever crisis presented itself in Anima Mundi. Life wasn't easy or anything, but you were enjoying it (or not, who am I to say) and doing the best with what you had there.
Out of nowhere, a strange "portal" appeared right in your direction. Curious as a child when getting a new toy to play with, you touch it and get sucked away from Anima Mundi. Dropped at a strange place called "New York", you now discover that you are in another world: Earth. A world where only humans are existent, the concept of fantasy is something that humans don't believe, there's this thing called "technology" that you have never used before, and so much other stuff that has suddenly dropped into your life.
Well, this is now your life. What will you make of it is up to you.
Explaining the RP Plot and Setting
So yeah, welcome to another of those Isekai RPs. This is what I call a "Reverse Isekai" though, with its basis coming directly from "The Devil is a Part-Timer" series. Instead of you being a human that dies and goes to a fantasy land, you're a fantasy being that suddenly ended up on Earth and now has to do the best with what you have now. And that's it. Simple, right?
The setting will be mostly in New York, where our characters live alongside modern society. At least for the beginning. We're not going to be restricted to NY or just the U.S., we can go to other places. But all characters start in NY and from there on, the story just continues.
Also, aside from the beginning being fixed, the plot onwards will be constructed by the players. Everyone starts in NY and from then onward, good luck with your plot. We can have character sub-plots, of course, but nothing will be fixed by me. You're responsible for your plot, your interactions, your character's lifestyle, etc. This RP is to be constructed by the players without following a fixed route or whatnot. And no, there isn't the MAIN PROTAGONIST here, all of us are equal, including me to you.
Elven, Demonic, Angelic, Beastkin, and other non-human races are permitted here, but they get a human form because this concept doesn't exist on Earth. They'll still keep with the physical and other abilities they had before, sure, and can even transform with a trigger or limitation, but they don't just walk around looking like they used to, they become human.
Battles between characters can happen, yes, but I'd like a bigger focus on the slice-of-life aspect than people going at each other's throats and blowing up buildings. I'm also not prohibiting the usage of magic during life events, but keep in mind that you're a magical being in a world of simple humans. If you don't want to get studied by the authorities, you might as well stay on your best behavior for now.
Another important topic is Romance. I will permit characters to get romantically involved with each other, but I AM ABSOLUTELY BANNING EVERYTHING +18. I don't want some hot and sexy scene of your guys going in a motel or whatever, you can make your character horny if you want but keep the romance PG-13. Anyone who steps out of line will be punished by this action.
Finally, you're free to play a human from Earth too, I'm not going to make you obligated to play Anima Mundi characters by default. They can even know that there are Anima Mundi characters around on Earth, but like these types of mangas/animes, they know and keep quiet about it.
Rules
NO GODMODDING: It's as it says, don't do stuff just so that you can have your own way. You godmod and I'm auto-banning you, NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
NO AUTO-HIT: Yup. While this RP isn't meant to be focusing on battles, don't go just hitting another player's character without their consent. You do that and I'll punish you in ways you'll definitely hit my PM to call me an asshole.
NO +18: As I said before, I don't want ANYTHING mature here. Adults as we may be, this isn't supposed to be some porn city. Be as horny as you want with your character, but keep it in your's and your character's pants.
NO MAIN PROTAGONIST: No one here, NOT EVEN ME, is the lead star in this RP. We're all on equal footing with our characters and that's final.
One Character per Player Only: I know how it's cool to have lots of characters to play. Believe me, I like it too. But for the sake of us keeping focus and not loading this place with characters and it becoming a mess, 1 PC per player.
Don't Rush Another Player: We all love RPing, but our time zones, lifestyles, and IRL problems are different from one another. Besides, we're here to have fun and be chill. So don't go rushing another player if they haven't posted yet, give them space and let them post whenever they can. If I get notified that you're pushing someone else, we're going to have a chat.
God Characters: And speaking of gods, no. No one, not even me, will put a god to live among humans. Your character can be powerful, I'll give you that much, but no gods.
Overpowering Skills: Look, be creative with your character's powers, don't just instantly spawn a Flandre Scarlet or a Dio Brando right out of the gate. Also, no immortality here either, everyone can die.
Necessary Skill Description: If you put up on your skills just "light manipulation" and call it a day, you're going to rewrite it. You don't need to give me an essay on your character's powers, but don't just do a one-liner and call it a day.
Character Sheet
I'm dropping the skeletons here, but feel free to style your CS in the way that fits you the most. I love seeing people do their own CS style using a skeleton, so go wild.
This first one is if you intend to play as an Anima Mundi character, a.k.a the reverse Isekai'd characters.
Location: 666 Mystic Lane, North Reading, MA Interactions: None
He got down from the Uber he paid to take him here. It was a trip to come right around here. Though the driver wasn't sure of the road so he dropped him some steps away from the indicated spot. Not like that was exactly an issue for him either. After all, he never heard of the place before. He didn't even know such a street existed. Even though he did shows around the entire country and beyond, such a location was not known to anyone. Blaming the driver for actually wanting to be safe was the last thing he needed to do.
When he arrived at the indicated spot, all that he could see were trees. Trees, grasses... maybe a bird or two... and more trees. In fact, it had so many trees that he could barely see anything beyond it! Was that really the right place? Did he read it wrong? He grabbed the invitation to read it again.
"OK, this is really the right spot. But wasn't a house supposed to be here?" He asked himself.
As he approached it, suddenly a butterfly appeared and stared at him. Then, it flew toward the forest. Once he looked at it more carefully, it was really bright, as if it was a guiding light showing the pathway to where he was supposed to actually go. His eyes glimmered at that thought. That butterfly...
"It's got to be a magical butterfly, for sure." He said.
As a real nerdy person, Leon was actually not that skeptical of magic. After all, he himself had magical powers. Mostly uncontrollable, with nasty vertigo that made him sick a lot of times... but a magical power, nonetheless. And as an anime/manga/video game nerd, he was nowhere near as scared of that possibility. In fact, this was actually exciting! "A world of magic lies beyond these trees, hidden from the prying eyes of humankind, only susceptible to the chosen ones. Now you, as the hero, must now control your powers and master them!" It was such a basic isekai or a fantasy JRPG plot but Leon was liking it so far!
(If any other person were to be in my shoes, they'd definitely find this weird. I think I'm actually glad that I'm a nerd at heart. This is far more exciting than... well, having to deal with her...) He thought.
He pulled out his cell phone and went on WhatsApp. The first conversation to appear was the one with his mom. A rather unpleasant one, after everything that unfolded in the past few months.
Mom: You'll most definitely regret going on break Alear. Just listen to me and get back here!
Me: Hi to you too, Mom. And stop calling me Alear, I'm not working. Or did you forget your son's own name?
Mom: Oh right. Whatever. Now, listen to me.
Me: It's always "whatever" with you. It's like you don't care about me at all.
Mom: Can you stop whining for once? So what if I called you by your stage name? That's your identity too.
Me: No, it's not! I'm Leon, you and Dad gave me that name. Alear's on break, so quit it.
Mom: THE POINT IS!! You're a famous idol, a hit sensation up until months ago when you decided to go on... "break" without even consulting me. Do you know how much of a deficit you're making me accumulate with your little trick?!
Me: I don't know and I don't care. Besides, this deficit of yours can easily be replaced with your other idols. I need time to rest, or else I'll go insane.
Mom: Then why didn't you tell me that you were not feeling well?! I could've done something about your agenda!
Me: I did! And in response, you called me a "crybaby" and that I was making excuses. You even doubled my agenda after that as retaliation! If it wasn't for Aunt Eleanora, I'd be in the hospital right now!
Mom: Don't remind me about that traitor. I can't believe she had the audacity to double-cross me when I gave her the opportunity to work at my agency.
Me: ... I feel like I'm some protagonist from one of those Apple Texts videos where the mother is a narcissistic and toxic abuser and the unloved child gets back at her after being disposed of like trash.
Mom: What are you talking about? Apple Texts? What the hell is that?
Me: Nevermind. Anyway, I'm not going back on my word. My health comes first so I'm prioritizing it instead of showbiz.
Mom: Alear- I mean, Leon. I'm already having a huge problem explaining to the advertising partners about your unannounced break. Some of them are even attempting to cancel their contracts! I need you back here!
Me: No. If neither you nor Dad cares about me, Aunt Ellie does. And I will start caring about myself too. When I feel better, I'll think about getting back.
Mom: I can't wait that long though!
Me: That's not my problem. Focus on the others. There are more talented people there than me, even. Stop bugging me and go do your job.
Mom: Why you little disrespectful wretch...!
Me: Dad's been absent my whole life. You controlled every single decision I wanted to make. I'm the one taking control now.
Mom: I'm your mother! I know what's best for you! You should just obey me quietly, as a good son!
Me: I'm 24 years old already! I live alone! I don't need your permission for anything anymore!
Mom: Of course you do! You can't do anything by yourself and just make the worst decisions in your life!
Me: Then I'll start doing it right by blocking you.
Mom: You WHAT?!
Me: I need peace of mind, not this bullshit. So I'm blocking you and finding my way of living. BY MYSELF! And if you don't like the idea, then go ahead and cancel my contract with you. I don't care anymore. Goodbye.
Mom: Wait, hold on a second! You can't do this to me! After all I've done to you, this is how you'll repay me?!
Mom: Alear?! ALEAR!!
*You blocked this contact.*
"No time thinking about her now. Time to go in and see what awaits me!" He said, excited, while following the butterfly.
The forest expense was huge. The invitation hasn't been too specific on the conditions he was going to walk in, only giving him the directions necessary to get wherever he should go. Although no longer physically together with his rather prestigious family, he knew it was rude to deny an invitation. There was always that thing about "never talking with strangers" that his mother taught him when he was a kid. But he was an adult now. So he decided to take the risk and just roll with it, not knowing what else to expect once he arrived. If anything, this was already better than whatever was being thrown at him during his time in showbiz.
(It has been a while since I ever had something to actually do and look forward to! I mean, in the sense of REAL anticipation!) He thought.
After traveling the whole way, he finally arrived at the house. The old, falling apart, victorian mansion which the "Benefactor" was supposed to be. Considering he lived in a mansion before, the surprise wasn't exactly the fact that it was enormous, but the choice of style taken by this mysterious sender. If he had the money to actually buy a house, why an old one? Was it because of its location, or because it was a personal choice of his own? Either way, he had to admit that it was pretty hidden from the public eyes. The forest itself felt like an even bigger maze, so entering or leaving without any directions was risky, if not completely hopeless.
"So... this is where I'm supposed to stay. It feels hollow... almost truly abandoned." He spoke to himself. Still, he approached the house and quickly saw that two other people stood there.
"There's something wonderful about being in the spotlight, true. But the true wonder comes when I'm out of it, without the annoying need of keeping myself bottled inside of me."

Personal Information
Personalities:
Charismatic | Extroverted | Talkative | Bubbly
Whenever he's being Alear Alstromeria, his idol persona, he becomes an overly charismatic person which makes him the party-lover of the group. Alear brims with charisma, happiness, and cheerfulness, enough to make even the dimmest of rooms shine brightly as if they were looking at the sun itself. This is the part that conquered most of Alear's fans since he's a friendly and easily approachable person who talks with you as if he was a "best friend" or something. He's often nicknamed the "Childhood Idol" because of this factor.
His industry colleagues also regard Alear as someone who's right at their side to help them achieve their dreams and improve them to the next level, and his team says that he's a pretty gentle and fun "boss" to work with. They add quotation marks around the word because he talks with them not as if he's ordering them around, but asking for favors, as well as actually wanting to know more about them and coordinating everyone to work together as a team.
Alear's biggest problem, however, is that he's extremely talkative and can go on for hours and hours talking about anything. He doesn't know how to keep conversations short and brief, which often makes him lose time to do work or practice because of his chatty nature. Not many people really mind that at all but some exceptions have already complained about how he seems rather unfocused and distracted because of his chatty nature.
Calm | Nerdy | Direct | Prefers His True Self
Leon, however, couldn't be more different than Alear. Well, not totally.
While he still keeps the charisma he's known to have as an idol, Leon isn't too much of a talkative and energetic person. Rather, his voice and words come out as a really calm and quiet person, unfitting to Alear's persona. He isn't shy or reserved but doesn't find the idea of talking for hours interesting nor does he find it necessary to have an overly energetic approach, so he comes more as a very kind and gentle young man than some extroverted idol.
Leon also tends to be far more direct and wastes less time going to the point and prefers people going directly to the point. Instead of going around in circles to reach a point, he goes directly to the business in order to resolve everything fast. This might make him come out as cold and uninterested since Leon isn't one for detailed stories when it only takes a single sentence to understand the situation.
People close to Leon also know that, despite being an idol, he doesn't live the style of a famous signer outside of the stage and keeps himself to a simplistic and, most notably, nerdy way of life. Leon loves to play games, read books and manga, watch series, movies, and anime at home and loves to listen to more chill rhythms than the agitated ones he works with. He's also not fond of shows, concerts, and parties, and would rather prefer a more casual outing such as a park or a stay-at-home outing at a friend's house.
One thing that only the closest people, like his manager, family, and a selected number of friends, know about Leon is that he has already declared to somewhat hate how he works as Alear. Not the job itself but the persona, because it doesn't fit with him at all. He does it because of his level of professionalism, though has already asked his superiors if he could do a change of style more than once, only to receive various "no" along the route. This is also why Leon doesn't like talking too much about Alear when he's not Alear and doesn't enjoy when people treat him as Alear when he's not working.
History:
Idol | Art Student | Forced Career | Absent Father | Controlling Mother | Wants to Change Styles | Currently on Break
Leon was born in Los Angeles, California on November 28th, 1998. He is the only child of Otávio Forte, a known and popular director in Hollywood and responsible for some of the biggest hits in the cinema, music, and theater areas, and Michelle Hellenia, a retired actress and current CEO of Royale Inc., one of the biggest entertainment agencies in the United States. While his image is rather unknown to the public, he's also famous. Leon is a pop rock idol known as Alear Alstroemeria, a hit with teenagers and young adults.
Being born into such a family, one could state that Leon had a perfect childhood, filled with fun, riches, and joy, enviable by many. However, that couldn't be further from the truth. Even if he was a child, Leon was already introduced to the world of arts, without any freedom of speech or right to choose his future, having those stripped away from him by Michelle. As for Otávio, because of his schedule, he hasn't been too present in Leon's childhood, to the point where Leon's memories are truly vague regarding his father's presence in his life.
After some practicing in the various forms of art, Leon's talent was singing. Many of his teachers called his voice "angelical" so Michelle saw the opportunity to make him a superstar idol through her agency. However, even though he was her son, her stipulations to join the company, as well as the regulations toward child labor, made it pretty difficult for her to just put him as a child star from the very beginning. As such, he escaped from having to work and focused on his education.
Initially, Leon went to prestigious schools in the state, being able to interact with classmates, teachers, and other people. However, that was detrimental to Michelle's plans since he wasn't having too much training because of school. With her son's success in mind (as well as the money that she could receive from it), Michelle took Leon to homeschool and private tutoring, so she could also control his schedule and have Leon train his voice more and more. This made Leon very frustrated because he lost contact with all of his friends out of nowhere, and was separated from the outside world as if he was just a pet that his mom was training.
Once he had enough age to start, she immediately applied Leon to work as an idol when he started "high school". Still homeschooled, Leon was already facing the world of idols as a teenager, inexperienced on how he should do it. Michelle decided from the get-go that Leon would play pop-rock music, as it was a trendy style with teenagers and not too explored by too many other companies. She also created a new idol identity for Leon: Alear Alstroemeria. Thus, he not only had to sing music but also had to act entirely differently from his usual self, in order to create a popular idol for the world. All of his protests, however, were in vain.
Time passed and Alear became a popular hit, breaking numbers and records as a teenager's beloved pop-rock idol. As he reached adulthood, Leon decided to live independently, buying an apartment for him to live solo, in hopes to free himself from his mother's control. However, that wasn't possible since she kept her eyes on him through his managers and habitually blasted his phone with messages, wanting him to keep working on his career.
With the change of managers for the 7th time, he actually got his aunt Eleanora Hellenia, Michelle's twin sister, as his manager. Seeing her nephew overworked and losing his mind, Eleanora decided to step in and control the relations between him and her sister/boss, as to give the boy some space to breathe and rest. This led to them developing a healthier relationship as a family, something Leon never had with either his mother or his father.
When he completed 23 years old, Leon's powers began to appear. One day, during a routine practice, Leon was so tired that he wished to escape from the training and just go home. Suddenly, as he was dancing, he blinked. In one moment he was in the training room, and in the other, he was outside the building. Not knowing what exactly happened, he rushed back inside and went back into the room, where everyone was panicked about what happened and he was unable to explain it himself. They decided to call it a day and he went home early, as he wished.
In the following months, he began to understand what was happening. Out of nowhere, he suddenly gained the power to teleport. He initially found it convenient, but the problems started when he decided to abuse it and got sick and dizzy from the teleportation's vertigo. Naturally, with his tight schedule, he wasn't able to train his powers to master them, so Leon had to put them aside and just act normally. Though, on some occasions, he did use them out of laziness.
When he completed 24 years old, Leon (as Alear) announced that he was going to take a break from showbiz in order to properly rest. In character. he explained that he needed some time to gather his thoughts back together and return to his creative mind. This ensured a huge fight between him and his mother, as she didn't accept that he was stopping. That's when Leon finally lost it and said that either he took a break right now or he was quitting forever. Michelle saw her son snapping and Eleanora even backed him up. In a two-against-one argument, she backed off and just didn't say anything anymore.
Now on break, Leon receives a mysterious letter from someone called "the Benefactor", inviting him to 666 Mystic Lane, North Reading, MA. With nothing better to do, and wanting to escape from his family, he didn't think twice and set himself to this new adventure.
Equiment and Magic Powers
Equipment:
A suitcase containing A LOT of clothes and underwear (as if he was going on a 3-month trip);
A backpack with other stuff, such as his toothbrush, charger, etc.
His iPhone 14 Pro Max;
A Nintendo Switch (his favorite videogame);
A bag full of novels and manga for him to read.
Magic:
Leon/Alear's magic grants him the power to teleport, which he has self-proclaimed his magic as Trickster Act. Its main ability is to allow Leon/Alear to teleport himself and any person and/or object he's currently holding. Currently, this is the only functionality of his power, as there is no extra ability developed since Leon/Alear hasn't fully trained his power. It's also a Basic Level teleportation magic since Leon/Alear can only teleport himself to a short distance of a maximum of 30m and can only teleport himself and one person and a maximum of three objects, two if he's carrying someone.
But as stated before, Trickster Act is still very basic and limited. For starters, Leon/Alear cannot independently teleport people or objects without teleporting himself alongside them. This means that he cannot use this as an emergency save unless he goes toward the objective and then teleports himself with it. There's also the fact that he must be physically touching said person or objects in order to teleport. If he isn't holding whatever he needs to teleport with him, he'll just go alone and the object will just stay there. This also means that he'll teleport anyone that's physically attacking him if he decides to use his power at that exact moment of being hit.
He's also incapable of teleporting too many times in a row without feeling vertigo from the teleportation physics. If Leon/Alear teleports more than twice in a span of 30s, he's going to feel sick and dizzy from teleporting around too much and will lose his own ground, becoming very vulnerable to attacks. This vertigo also affects other people, so he also has to take into consideration that whoever's with him will feel the teleportation's vertigo, causing sickness depending on the person using it.
Trickster Act also doesn't cancel physics. If Leon/Alear warps during a hit or while in movement, he'll reappear moving in the direction he's going or being sent. As an example, if he's sent toward a tree and teleports to avoid hitting the tree, he can avoid it but will reappear still being launched forward. This is extremely risky depending on the situation because he can hit something else or even fall into other places such as a river, a manhole, a pit, etc.
Lastly, Leon/Alear's teleportation magic can be entirely unpredictable sometimes and he might end up teleporting himself in the opposite direction than the one he wanted, or to a random direction he doesn't exactly pick. This is a problem that can be solved with training, but Leon/Alear hasn't trained long enough to do it.
I think this looks basically good to go. The only change I would need to see is in relation to be timing of your character developing his powers. Magic is just returning and you would have just developed your powers! Once this is fixed you’re approved!!
OK @MagratheanWhale, I did my Tristan replacement. I await your judgment. (And again, sorry for the pic.)

This is also why Leon doesn't like talking too much about Alear when he's not Alear and doesn't enjoy when people treat him as Alear when he's not working.
History:
Idol | Art Student | Forced Career | Absent Father | Controlling Mother | Wants to Change Styles | Currently on Break
Leon was born in Los Angeles, California on November 28th, 1998. He is the only child of Otávio Forte, a known and popular director in Hollywood and responsible for some of the biggest hits in the cinema, music, and theater areas, and Michelle Hellenia, a retired actress and current CEO of Royale Inc., one of the biggest entertainment agencies in the United States. While his image is rather unknown to the public, he's also famous. Leon is a pop rock idol known as Alear Alstroemeria, a hit with teenagers and young adults.
Being born into such a family, one could state that Leon had a perfect childhood, filled with fun, riches, and joy, enviable by many. However, that couldn't be further from the truth. Even if he was a child, Leon was already introduced to the world of arts, without any freedom of speech or right to choose his future, having those stripped away from him by Michelle. As for Otávio, because of his schedule, he hasn't been too present in Leon's childhood, to the point where Leon's memories are truly vague regarding his father's presence in his life.
After some practicing in the various forms of art, Leon's talent was singing. Many of his teachers called his voice "angelical" so Michelle saw the opportunity to make him a superstar idol through her agency. However, even though he was her son, her stipulations to join the company, as well as the regulations toward child labor, made it pretty difficult for her to just put him as a child star from the very beginning. As such, he escaped from having to work and focused on his education.
Initially, Leon went to prestigious schools in the state, being able to interact with classmates, teachers, and other people. However, that was detrimental to Michelle's plans since he wasn't having too much training because of school. With her son's success in mind (as well as the money that she could receive from it), Michelle took Leon to homeschool and private tutoring, so she could also control his schedule and have Leon train his voice more and more. This made Leon very frustrated because he lost contact with all of his friends out of nowhere, and was separated from the outside world as if he was just a pet that his mom was training.
Once he had enough age to start, she immediately applied Leon to work as an idol when he started "high school". Still homeschooled, Leon was already facing the world of idols as a teenager, inexperienced on how he should do it. Michelle decided from the get-go that Leon would play pop-rock music, as it was a trendy style with teenagers and not too explored by too many other companies. She also created a new idol identity for Leon: Alear Alstroemeria. Thus, he not only had to sing music but also had to act entirely differently from his usual self, in order to create a popular idol for the world. All of his protests, however, were in vain.
Time passed and Alear became a popular hit, breaking numbers and records as a teenager's beloved pop-rock idol. As he reached adulthood, Leon decided to live independently, buying an apartment for him to live solo, in hopes to free himself from his mother's control. However, that wasn't possible since she kept her eyes on him through his managers and habitually blasted his phone with messages, wanting him to keep working on his career.
With the change of managers for the 7th time, he actually got his aunt Eleanora Hellenia, Michelle's twin sister, as his manager. Seeing her nephew overworked and losing his mind, Eleanora decided to step in and control the relations between him and her sister/boss, as to give the boy some space to breathe and rest. This led to them developing a healthier relationship as a family, something Leon never had with either his mother or his father.
When he completed 23 years old, Leon's powers began to appear. One day, during a routine practice, Leon was so tired that he wished to escape from the training and just go home. Suddenly, as he was dancing, he blinked. In one moment he was in the training room, and in the other, he was outside the building. Not knowing what exactly happened, he rushed back inside and went back into the room, where everyone was panicked about what happened and he was unable to explain it himself. They decided to call it a day and he went home early, as he wished.
In the following months, he began to understand what was happening. Out of nowhere, he suddenly gained the power to teleport. He initially found it convenient, but the problems started when he decided to abuse it and got sick and dizzy from the teleportation's vertigo. Naturally, with his tight schedule, he wasn't able to train his powers to master them, so Leon had to put them aside and just act normally. Though, on some occasions, he did use them out of laziness.
When he completed 24 years old, Leon (as Alear) announced that he was going to take a break from showbiz in order to properly rest. In character. he explained that he needed some time to gather his thoughts back together and return to his creative mind. This ensured a huge fight between him and his mother, as she didn't accept that he was stopping. That's when Leon finally lost it and said that either he took a break right now or he was quitting forever. Michelle saw her son snapping and Eleanora even backed him up. In a two-against-one argument, she backed off and just didn't say anything anymore.
Now on break, Leon receives a mysterious letter from someone called "the Benefactor", inviting him to 666 Mystic Lane, North Reading, MA. With nothing better to do, and wanting to escape from his family, he didn't think twice and set himself to this new adventure.
Equiment and Magic Powers
Equipment:
A suitcase containing A LOT of clothes and underwear (as if he was going on a 3-month trip);
A backpack with other stuff, such as his toothbrush, charger, etc.
His iPhone 14 Pro Max;
A Nintendo Switch (his favorite videogame);
A bag full of novels and manga for him to read.
Magic:
Leon/Alear's magic grants him the power to teleport, which he has self-proclaimed his magic as Trickster Act. Its main ability is to allow Leon/Alear to teleport himself and any person and/or object he's currently holding. Currently, this is the only functionality of his power, as there is no extra ability developed since Leon/Alear hasn't fully trained his power. It's also a Basic Level teleportation magic since Leon/Alear can only teleport himself to a short distance of a maximum of 30m and can only teleport himself and one person and a maximum of three objects, two if he's carrying someone.
But as stated before, Trickster Act is still very basic and limited. For starters, Leon/Alear cannot independently teleport people or objects without teleporting himself alongside them. This means that he cannot use this as an emergency save unless he goes toward the objective and then teleports himself with it. There's also the fact that he must be physically touching said person or objects in order to teleport. If he isn't holding whatever he needs to teleport with him, he'll just go alone and the object will just stay there. This also means that he'll teleport anyone that's physically attacking him if he decides to use his power at that exact moment of being hit.
He's also incapable of teleporting too many times in a row without feeling vertigo from the teleportation physics. If Leon/Alear teleports more than twice in a span of 30s, he's going to feel sick and dizzy from teleporting around too much and will lose his own ground, becoming very vulnerable to attacks. This vertigo also affects other people, so he also has to take into consideration that whoever's with him will feel the teleportation's vertigo, causing sickness depending on the person using it.
Trickster Act also doesn't cancel physics. If Leon/Alear warps during a hit or while in movement, he'll reappear moving in the direction he's going or being sent. As an example, if he's sent toward a tree and teleports to avoid hitting the tree, he can avoid it but will reappear still being launched forward. This is extremely risky depending on the situation because he can hit something else or even fall into other places such as a river, a manhole, a pit, etc.
Lastly, Leon/Alear's teleportation magic can be entirely unpredictable sometimes and he might end up teleporting himself in the opposite direction than the one he wanted, or to a random direction he doesn't exactly pick. This is a problem that can be solved with training, but Leon/Alear hasn't trained long enough to do it.
Location: Starveil Academy - Nurse's Office Interactions: Anne (@VitaVitaAR), Serrica (@Pyromania99)
He twitched his eyes as his consciousness finally returned to him. As he opened his eyes, he saw the roof, reminiscent of a nursery. He didn't look at the sides but was slowly regaining his place.
(D-Did I... fall unconscious?) He thought.
As he got up and sat on the bed (still not looking at his sides, mind you.), he looked at his hands and moved them, thinking he might have possibly escaped back to wherever he wanted to be, not the actual academy.
(Wait... if I'm in a nursery right now... could it be that it was a dream after all? Was I falling unconscious the key for me to wake up?) He thought.
And then he finally looked at his sides. And the ones standing there weren't his mother, his brother, or any doctors. It was a nurse... Anne Marielle, the heroine... and Serrica Francesca Haldblum, one of the important characters in the story. What this all meant? That he never left Starveil Academy, and was now surrounded by three of the game's biggest characters... as if being one himself wasn't enough.
"A-Ah... hahaha! I-I'm so sorry for the blunder back at the entrance, I was... just in so much shock for actually being in the a-academy and... t-to start studying that I fell blank... hehe, you know... it happens..." He said.
This was his best attempt to be... well, himself. Or who he was right now. After such a slip-up like falling unconscious and probably creating an event that never, ever happened in-game, he had to buckle up and try his very best to not commit these sorts of slip-ups again, for as long as he can to actually survive his new life.
"I-In any case, I'm... o-once again, I'm sorry for the trouble. This isn't how I wanted the year to start, I swear." He said.
