[@Wistful Dreams][@QueenNugget] Sorry for the confusion! So I really wanted to refrain from trying to limit people's choices by reserving spots. So I initially wanted to make all of the roles as applicable roles instead of by reservation. That being said, I would gladly look over the two sheets that I would receive from ya'll and decide which one would better suit the role for the RP. In no way does that mean one player is a better writer or conjured up a "better" character, but it would be chosen based on which would best fit the plot and the group dynamic that we have going. I did put strike throughs for roles that already had interest to avoid this, but you both had PMed me asking about the role and I didn't want to deny either of you. I [i]believe[/i] I said that you both could apply and I would review it, but I understand how it could be confusing since I'm kind of going back and forth. So, in short, create whichever character you wish and I'll see which best fits the role and which would be accepted.

[@Royaletutor59] Neil is [u]accepted[/u]! I would just like to note that the pack within Salem might be a little territorial towards him, so bear that in mind when playing.

[hider=Sage]Sage is a lovely character! Though, I'm a little bit iffy on accepting her because of how much ability, talent, and power she possesses. Being only 23 years old, I believe she just has a little bit too much to see as believable, but then again, we live in a world with several human anomalies when it comes to talent and brightness. To note: Sage is the author of multiple best-selling novels, she plays the cello, piano, vocal, drum, and guitar, she is the founder of the page Ask Atlus, and she has skill with a very, very broad horizon of different magics. I find it a little unrealistic, given that she's 23 years old and she has this many accomplishments/talents. Granted, with a corresponding backstory that would make this all believable, I could maybe accept her, but I think the amount of powers she has is way too much.

I find it hard to believe that Sage would really have the time for everything without having an INCREDIBLE amount of innate talent. She was able to write award-winning novels as well as learn to play several instruments, without any mention of college, teachers, etc. All of these skills/accomplishments take a great amount of devotion to time and energy and generally are accompanied by teaching/college. To add to this, within her backstory her only assumed practice of magic would be in her dreams, as well as once she moved away from her father's house. You wrote that she was surrounded by metal and machinery, limiting her usage for her powers, so she wouldn't have had the opportunity to practice as much as other witches while in NYC. Additionally, she has almost the amount of power, if not--she does have as much power, as a supreme witch, especially because she covers a lot of fields of magic. To add, you didn't note that she had any other instructors other than her mother within her dreams, nor did she have access to tomes/books.

My suggestion would be to remove some of Sage's talent and powers.
[list]
[*] If you wish to keep the powers that she possesses, then she'll have mediocre to minimum talent with each. Note that vampires are also very strong cognitive creatures, so they will most likely surpass her in that field unless you have her specialize within that field of magic. Werewolves are also innately resistant to magic, so she might not even be able to touch them, depending on their cognitive control.
[*] You may choose to eliminate some of her powers to keep the existing ones up to par with the other witches.
[*] You may remove some of her talents/accomplishments to allow for her to have a believable amount of devotion to her witchcraft.
[*] You may give her a better corresponding backstory that further mentions the reasons as to [i]why[/i] she has all of this. This accompanied with an older age could help to null some of these suggestions. While you did note that she comes from a powerful blood-line of witches, she is still a little bit too strong.
