Welcome to the town of Tanner, set in the tall trees of Washington State. The small town is to the outside world, a quiet place of nothingness. However, hidden in the American gothic homes, hedgerows and winding streets, is a community in hiding. For you see: Tanner is home to a Witches coven.

Even in these modern times, Witches and supernatural beings creep in the shadows, doing their best to blend in and avoiding suspicion. Things never seem to be that easy however, as beyond the veil lie many creatures who wish to feast on mortals or to subdue them. So, the witches of Tanner stand guard and protect the town from those who wish it harm.

Our story follows the journey of the current cohort of witches at the Tanner coven. Returning fresh from college after several years away. Their parents have all decided to retire from the coven, and instead allow the younger generation to take over. For better or for worse.

Witches and Warlocks
The Tanner coven is made up of both witches and warlocks. The distinction between the two is mostly down to ability level. Witches are stronger while Warlocks tend to be lacking in magical power. It is possible to change from one to another however, and there isn't an official guide as to how strong you have to be to be classed as either. It is generally a community decision within the coven as to where you are placed.

Magical abilities
Magic takes up alot of forms and to list them all would be exhaustive. Every spell you do falls into one of the eight schools of magic: abjuration, alteration (Transmutation) , conjuration, divination, enchantment, illusion, invocation (Destructive/elemental spells) , and necromancy. Warlocks tend to focus on a single school of magic, where as witches tend to be able to specialise in more than one class.

---------------

Generally speaking, this is going to be a slower paced RP, designed for people who want to write, but might not be able to write and post within rapid deadlines. Deadlines will be around every two weeks, though once a group has gotten together, we can certainly discuss it in more detail.

Also, I want to be able to have a small group for this RP. I notice the larger the RP gets, the harder it is to try and keep everything going. I am not going to put a hard limit on the number of players, but I may switch it to closed suddenly when I feel we have enough characters and writers.

Post length will of course differ, but on average the minimum will be 2 paragraphs, but my DMs are always open if you are struggling :)

CS is below, Feel free to use it, or if you have something more aesthetically pleasing you would like to use then by all means feel free. As long as you have fun making your character, that is all that matters!



We have Discord too!

So, I would like to start off by saying how amazed I am by the sheer amount of interest this RP has generated. I honestly didn't think it would take off like this when I first started it. I envisaged a small group of 4-5 players and that was it.
To see so many submitted characters and people showing interest has been truly humbling.

This has however left me in a bit of a trickier situation. I have already decided that I am going to be expanding the number of players I accept, but I don't think there is going to be room for everyone, especially if everyone on the IC does end up making a character. Which sadly, does mean that some people will be disappointed.

Before I move on, I want to say that this is no strict guideline in to what gets accepted and what doesn't. Just because one person gets accepted and another doesn't, isn't me implicitly saying that their character is better than yours. Alot of factors make up my reason for acceptance that goes beyond just the character sheet. I am looking for other factors, and as a result have been diving through peoples history on the Guild, if they have one. Again, being new to the site, doesn't mean I won't say no, It is just a factor.

I do also want to point out as a reminder, that the pace of this RP will be alot slower than most. We will be working in cycles of two weeks, possibly slower if life starts to get hectic for everyone. So if you are used to posting every other day, or every week, this may not be suitable for you. I just thought it bared reminding given how it was only a small part of the original IC.

Given that we are still waiting on possible another three or four submissions, I am not going to declare every slot yet. so even if you aren't in this post, It doesn't mean that you won't be accepted. It just means that you haven't been accepted yet. Closer towards the end of the week, I will post again with an updated acceptance list.

So now onto the actual acceptances:

@udonoodles - Elías Delgado
@VerusEbullio - Aradia Kovacz
@HaleyTheRandom - Celeste Kali Ó Conaill & Lilith Jade Montgomery
@SouffleGirl123 - Catherine Rose Hierich
@Inertia - Victor Crowe
@Aeolian - Ja'cai Kwame Lee-Washington

Please move over your CS's to the characters tab at your earliest convenience.

Hey everyone!

I can't remember if all accepted players are in the Discord (If not I highly encourage you join as it makes co-ordination 100x easier) , so I will put this here just incase:

After doing some consideration, I have decided to go against the idea of having strict cycle like deadlines. Instead we are going to play this as follows: Please post for each character every two weeks at a minimum. However you don't have to wait for everyone to post before you can post again. Please however do make sure that you leave at least a couple of posts between responses, to give others a chance. Also obviously, no time skips. Because the pace will be a bit more free-form, please don't pressure yourself to write 5+ paragraphs all the time. Sometimes you might only need to write out a paragraph, and that is perfectly fine. This is a marathon, not a race :)

As for characters. I had been expecting another 5ish character submissions, but I think that has now dwindled down one. So for now I am going to put the RP into 'Soft-Closed' I will likely be taking on another 1/2 characterrs. After that, people are still free to apply, but the likely hood of acceptance will be low.

I am also in a position to pass judgement on some of the other submissions:

@Benzaiten @redraider1 Zhalia & Claire are intressting concepts, however looking at the balance of the current character roster, I think they would be difficult to fit in with everything else without seeming odd. Thanks for your interest though!

@ActRaiserTheReturned I am not sure how to say this without coming off as a bit of a douce, so I do apologise, as it isn't supposed to sound like that. However given the work that everyone has put into their characters, I don't think I would be able to accept someone like Jacob. I just don't feel the passion for it you know.

That's totally a legitimate outcome. I really wanted to join but I wasn't feeling well. Since you're trying to be polite, at least I can pretend that I get an E for Effort. lol.
