Welcome to Recollections: The Coven, another RP set in the supernatural horror/urban fantasy universe known as the Recollections universe. Set after Vivid Recollections where the world eating eldritch abomination known as the Glutton was defeated and a new timeline was created free of its influence - with the side effect of magic returning. This creates a wide range of different ramifications as new beings and problems turn the system upside down.

And one of those problems is the Coven. They started out as an idea over the internet; a group of people who got together to talk about magic and their abilities - with problems that come from them. However, they eventually started getting ideas and formed their own group of wannabe witches. Their reasons for joining, and well working with, the Coven vary as they each have their own problem. However, the main thing that keeps them from being a threat is their sheer incompetence, backstabbing, and disorganized leadership. Everyone wants to steer the Coven in their own direction and it doesn't work the way they want. However, they eventually run afoul of one of the universe's actual threats and awaken a bigger threat. They'll have to come together to stop the bigger problem because hey, they live here too!

This story will be an urban-fantasy story that will cast a certain light on "magic" while leaving it ambiguous whether or not it's truly magic or not. The storyline will have elements of superpowers, urban fantasy, horror, and more. The RP will be character-driven and heavily guided by the cast; how the Coven turns out should be a natural progression of events rather than it being forced. Like other recollection RPs it'll have it's own pretentious thematic and in this case, it'll be Reaching out. In the case of the cast should have a problem that drives them to join the Coven and tolerate their bullshit in attempts to get what they want. Whether or not they get what they want is up to them. Like Vivid Recollections, it's secondary themes will be Memory and Emotion.

The Coven is lead by Claudette Jones... at the moment.

The Coven is a collection of different Extra-Normal beings centered in the Tampa bay area of Florida - primarily situated in the outskirts of Tampa. They started out as a bunch of people talking over social media and Reddit and eventually got the bright idea to join together for their own reasons. It could be out of protection, community, or maybe even a desire to delve into the supernatural world. The Coven attempts to become one of the big players in the supernatural world, however, due to how terribly it's run all their attempts fail. They seemingly change leadership every other week because they vote one person out and vote a new person in. They're a relatively recent invention and most of their stunts seem to be social media stunts and other such things in an attempt to gain more followers (and more members).

The Coven seems to have no real process for vetting people as they'll take anyone who comes in. They have had many arguments and discussions on just who should be let into the organization as at some point they argued that it should be a girls-only group. They are witches, after all, but they decided to be all-inclusive. They have decided to be all-inclusive. They don't have a base of operations or anything solid - they meet up in various abandoned places. At the moment their current goals are a complete mystery as they seem to take votes on what exactly they should do next. And this probably one of their main issues.

Maybe. Maybe. By some miracle, they'll become a big player in the supernatural game.


ALLIES/MINIONS




THEIR LAIR




ENEMIES










The sunny city that is famed worldwide as much as the rest of the state. Tampa Florida is densely populated with a large number of different peoples from all over settling. Given the place a distinct feel as you walk the streets - even though that could just be the sunshine bearing down. If it's not sunshine then it's raining. Tampa has a large number of diverse neighborhoods: North Tampa, South-Tampa, Interbay, University West, West Tampa, Carrollwood, and Tampa Palms. However, with the return of the supernatural, there has been a great change throughout Florida. Various supernatural organizations and creatures have come out of the shadows... including the Coven themselves.

....................................................................................................."The world of the Extra-Normal is the gateway to infinite possibilities."
____________________________________

.
.
.
There out there exists a force, a force like no other. One that allows a person to go further beyond the limits of what is considered natural and become something more... or less, depending on how you look at it. The simplest word for it all is Magic, and it's the gateway to infinite possibilities. Magic was always a secret in the old timeline, but in the new timeline, magic returned just one year before the story started. The collective term for it all is Extra-Normal, and there are many different types of Extra-Normal beings. Each of them gets their abilities depending on mere circumstance. Some get their abilities from a moment of powerful emotions, others inherit it, some are phantasms of the deceased or spawned from belief and emotion, and others are the result of a chance encounter with those phantasms.

Each of them has innate abilities that each of them has across the board. To begin many magical abilities are completely invisible to those who aren't Extra-Normal (Known as Blind). Only the Extra-Normal can perceive them but there are certain abilities that can be seen by all. The Extra-Normal can read the auras of things that they have a connection through walls and over distances, have a barrier around them known as an Emotional Field which protects them from each other's abilities (but some abstractions can bypass it), and can experience a Recollection, a vision of the past that is somewhat related to them.
However, these are merely sub-abilities, and every Extra-Normal being has an ability that is unique to them known as an Abstraction. Abstractions are the collective term used for a magical ability of any time and it's determined by the type of being. However, Abstractions are vast, strange, and no two abstractions are ever the same. However, abstractions are fueled and connected to the very soul and emotions of a person. If you were to take the soul out of an Extra-Normal being's body and put it in another, the abstraction would follow. Removing their emotions would remove their abstraction but an abstraction that can not only negate emotions but bypass emotional fields is extremely rare.

If no one else wants to, the second character I'm working on could work for the "Leader" character

Are we doing multiple characters? It's cool if the GM is okay with it, personally I'm not the biggest fan of it as it tends to get the character tab flooded quite quickly. Plus, it always sucks when a person nabs a character idea you really wanted to play, when they already have another character... You greedy bastards.

Not much of a leader person myself, so I'll pass on that position.

The leader position is going to get passed around... mainly because I imagine the group infighting a lot.

Just read the thing about collective-awakening, so I understand why in some cases doing multiple characters might be interesting to explore.

Oh! Is the general public aware of all these supernatural shenanigans? Or is it all being kept hush hush? I imagine since we're doing social media campaigns its probably common knowledge, but I figured I ask just in case. Also, how long has this supernatural thing been going on? Is it something new, or have several generations passed already?

1. Right now, because normies can't see it, it's relatively kept a secret except to certain knowledgable circles. It's kind of like a "if you know, you know" kind of thing.

2. A few months to a year.

This sounds super interesting! I'd love to get started on a character if you're still open to new people joining.

@FernStone How did you pull this off?

Accepted.

LIMITS ⫻ The Emotional-Field around Extra-Normal beings prevents them from receiving the full brunt of the damage. They may be launched back but they'll still retain their hearing... well, they'll get it back eventually. The area of effect blasts of sound has a range of ten meters, while the focused blasts have a range of around thirty meters. However, the blasts lose damage the further out they go - so their max effective range is around half their max.

WEAKNESSES ⫻ Using the sound blasts has the side effect of killing her own hearing for a few minutes as she'll only hear ringing. The focused blasts will do it for a minute or two, while the area of effects blast will remove her hearing for quite longer. In addition, the sound blasts interfere with her sense of equilibrium and her balance will go to trash while she's using her ability. Also, the more focused sound blasts have a recoil that'll physically throw off her balance.
