Yes, this is a fandom, albeit with original characters. There will be four main characters, high school students starting their senior year at Model High School in Rome, GA. The rest will be NPC’s created and run by members of the group. The members are:

Diane Miller: (My character)
The new girl in school, who arrives dressed like she got her clothes at Goodwill, dropped off at school by the company pickup of the local salvage yard. This instantly earns her the nickname Junkyard Jane, and a video of her arrival finds itself on Facebook by that evening. The next morning she discovers her guitar case left locked in the music department locker, filled with smelly garbage.



Her class schedule is:
Independent Study Music
Environmental Science
Horticulture
Study Period
Lunch
English (Advanced Composition)
PE

Characters
You will need to create the other three. Each one should have a reason for practicing magic. They do not need to duplicate the original film. Besides, the idea is for this RP to be open ended, not turn into a self destructive fight. One of the keys to the coven gathering real power will be trust. My character is going to be very slow to trust except on a very shallow level. She has multiple secrets. Each of your characters could do the same.

Your three characters should already know one another and have created their coven. They, or at least their original practicing wiccan will sense the power in Diane and set sights on recruiting her.

This is intended as a small group. Any additional members will need the unanimous approval of the coven members. So submit any characters to all 4 coven members once they are active. Please understand that they may wish to keep the group small to avoid disruption.

There is also a Middle and Elementary School located right next to the High School. (They are on the map if you follow the Google Maps link. I like to use real locations.) Model High School has an above average bullying environment. But the region is not inner city. Rome, GA is a fairly rural area.

Senior Year begins Thursday Aug 1, 2019.

No, but Vrani may do up the last coven member. A coven actually works well up to 13. I just chose 4 as a manageable number of people. I was going to give it a day tops. Heck, we could even work with just three. Charmed did it.

Okay guys. Got really busy with work yesterday - a 15 hour day.

I say we get started with what we have. Vrani offered to create run the other witch. We could always add one more later on. But I don't want to keep you guys waiting forever. (I had that problem in someone else's RP and I know how that feels. Six guys post "interested" and never make a character.)

Sounds good.

also, @blackdragon I mentioned this to Vrani. We will also need NPC's ... teachers, bullies, regular students. This starts off revolving around school, with very minor parlor tricks as far as real magic goes. In the craft, the one wiccan among them (the actress also a wiccan in real life) can't even do real magic. But she sets up a ritual to gain them power. Unfortunately it drives her mad.

I am curious to know what your take would be on a male character? I understand you were wanting the original group to be girls like in the show. so I was thinking of having him just be a solitary witch and over time just sort of pick up on what's going on around him or be friends with one of them already. I'm not sure I'm just throwing ideas out there.

I am going to have to say no to the male witch? It isn't that I am against one, just not for this RP as a witch. This is one reason I so rarely do a fandom type RP.

I did have a 1x1 that would have been ideal for a male wiccan. It was NOT one for real magic though - at least not that ever actually worked ... until it did ... just not for him. He wrote the spell. Someone else actually casts it, not really expecting it to work.

ralphiesportal.me/2012/01/10/soul-mat…

Although ... that might work. My character is big into computers - a hacker even. I could see her looking up spells on the internet for them to try. Of course, if the girls try the one above ...

But before I do that, I am going to let the others weigh in.

1x Thank Thank

I would hazard a guess that Vrani will feel much the same. I was tired and cranky from a 15-16 hour work day. So I slept on it before responding. My usual knee jerk response would be a no, but with sleep ... I saw some ways for it to fit in - and even be useful.

It is just that this is not a magic bender RP. 99.9% of the wiccans out there won't do anything that couldn't be explained by coincidence or imagination. So a solo witch having much success I am leery of. Diane has, but it is all coincidental. What she has done could be given rational explanations.

Well, I have a first post for Diane written up. Just a description of her first 2 and a half days of school (Thurs, Fri and Monday thru the start of Lunch). The scene ends with her alone at one table ... and a cheerleader and her friends at another. The Junkyard Jane thread in social media is already going.

I'll go with whatever the GM says. Regarding the magic, whilst Ash is a 'born' witch she currently only manages small stuff (similar to Robin Tunneys character in the film)

Also, our fourth member is almost done. Will have the sheet up shortly :)

Here we go. Not necessarily the best sites or sources, but here is where I am aiming. (The pencil trick is fine.
I was thinking of later scenes. Diane is a natural witch completely unaware of her abilities. She doesn't believe in magic even though she knows a LOT about Wicca. There is a reason her languages were listed.)

General Powers
lunasgrimoire.com/thirteen-powers-of-…
(These can be explained by coincidence or rational means.)

The more theatrical
youtu.be/wUB5qhWkvr0
These are what the coven will start to access once Diane is a part of the coven. She already evidences some of these, though mainly the stuff that can be attributed to non magical sources - like her art. Once she joins, everyone should choose 1 or 2 specialties. This won't mean you can only do those two, just be better at those than the other skills.

Telepathy: I think this one should be allowed within the coven on a voluntary basis working much like a cellphone (minus voicemail and texting).

@ReusableSword The others weighed in.

So ... if he is a witch, he should be solitary; limited to the General powers. If a natural, maybe the pencil trick (kinesis) or its equivalent in one of the other 12 theatrical powers.

Now if he can convince the coven to let him join, that would change. Really that should be Vrani's choice. His character is the coven's leader in fact - as the natural who knows something about wicca. Diane will be the hardest to convince. She is very slow to trust.
