[OOC] The Craft

[Mitheral]

like? those cover most classical witch powers even in fantasy.

[blackdragon]

I was thinking along the lines of necromancy or blood magic- I enjoy the trope of using stereotypically "evil" powers for good.

[Mitheral]

Yeeahhhh ... okay

Blood magic would fall under #2 Spellcraft I would think.
Necromancy ... #9 Summoning.

Those would be the two to specialize in. LOL, Wiccans have a saying; never summon anything bigger than you can fit in your hand. (I think that's how it went. Moral of the saying. Summoning is easy. Control is another matter.) That said, Mind Bending is one worth considering.

[Mitheral]

Here is a good site about Necromancy. It is generally considered Black Magic. And if the other witches are white, it would tear the coven apart.

Grr .. I hate auto spelling. Sight instead of site. Gah.

Anyways ... made a 1st post to introduce Diane. No rush for first responses. I figure the ladies would want to approach Diane as a group - so that would mean waiting for Vrani to make the 4th witch. That will give Reusable a little more time as well.

@Mitheral thank you I'm thinking of making him a natural with Elemental gift, something along the line of fire blessing. Was thinking about him being more tuned towards metal working for art and focusing on more protection based things. If thats ok?

Honestly what drew me to this is because I practice Wicca. Mostly I use like candles and runes for luck and protection. But I'm aware that it's a fandom type of thing but I'll work on the character tonight.

[Mitheral]

LOL, my Ex was wiccan. She lied before we got married. In fact she waited almost 2 years to tell me AFTER we were married. Very unhealthy choice on her part. But I took it well enough and asked to attend some of her functions - mainly to understand her faith. None of the sacred events, just larger functions ... like Yule ... holidays. I have been in just about every kind of church you have heard of. Far as I was concerned ... any religion that didn't practice death and destruction to all civilization was fine by me. It's all about respect.

Yeah, I see auras. (I have no clue what the colors mean.) I'm a precog and postcog. And I got banned from being anywhere near my friends playing board games like Monopoly as dice acted funny every time I came around. The best one was when my wife was adding hotels to Boardwalk ... and I asked who was playing the race car. The guy looked up and I winced and said "Sorry." He landed on Boardwalk the next roll.

Anyways .. to answer, that's fine.

[ReusableSword]

I've never been able to see auras, never seen specters or shadows in the dark, I can't project myself or see into the future or the past. Things don't talk to me and I barely feel energy but a lot of my friends can. They like it when I'm around because they've described me as like a shield somehow I help protect them from negative things. people tend to open up to me about traumatic experiences quicker even if I've only known them for a day or two. One of my friends calls me a Healer others a protector and as for a few others something along the lines of an anchor i geuss.

[blackdragon]

I'm an agnostic, but to each their own.

In RP-related news, I had an idea for a plot arc. Another student drops dead, and the coven suspects dark magic afoot, so they investigate. Where it goes from there... who knows?

[Virani]

Done! Let me know if anything needs changing

Background

Jessica and her two older brothers were born and raised in Rome. Though their parents were well off and they were raised without wanting for anything Jessica and her brothers are surprisingly down to earth. Jessica is just too nice a person to be arrogant about money and if anything she is mostly embarrassed by it. Growing up she had her brothers to look out for her and her parents were there for all of their children. The only unpleasant thing she has experienced is when her gramps died (she was close to him) but even the family were there for each other and she was able to accept it.

Until high school Jessica was one of the popular kids and it wasn't until she turned fourteen and she got a part time job, her parents wanted her to experience earning money for herself, in a store selling all manner of occult and witchcraft supplies. She discovered Wicca and made new friends, particularly Ashlyn and Samantha, and now she chooses to spend her time with them. She lives in a large house in the nice part of town and her friends are always welcome there.

[Mitheral]

Well, first let's get the characters to meet and activate powers, maybe play with them a little (not necessarily smart). Just in doing that we may end up with some plots.

[Mitheral]

@Virani Looks good, just needs to be in the Character tab.

[Mitheral]

And as the three main coven members are ready, feel free to spot Diane, discuss her, whether and how to approach, etc.

[Mitheral]

Going to grab some sleep soon. Also, going to let Vrani post next. And maybe Reusable can get something in the character section.

[Virani]

I'll have a post up later today

[Virani]

Posted for both Ash and Jessica.

Oh and created a possible NPC, more of a conversation point but you never know we may end up in one of her exploits or something.

[blackdragon]

@ReusableSword

With a last name like that, Sam's going to have to nickname him Warlock

[ReusableSword]

@blackdragon... if your trying to upset/insult him sure. but his aunt told him that the term witch is a gender neutral, wizard is an old English variant and warlock means traitor so both of those are frowned upon lol. it will upset or annoy him at first but im sure he will grow to like it eventually.

[Mitheral]

Yeah, common misunderstanding .. thanks to Hollywood. What Reusable said ... witch is used for both male and female. LOL, with a name like Troy ... how about Trojan Man?

[ReusableSword]

Lol ill have a post up in a couple hours or so. I mean im 6'5 irl and the two nicknames that have stuck so far is Tiny and ogre.
