History/Intro: Arygon was born to Perenelle and Nicholas Flamel years after their documented deaths. He was raised away from them as a Knight in France. When he aged into his twenties he strayed away from Knighthood and searched for his parents. Being just as clever and bright as both of his parents, he was able to track them down and this is when he was introduced to the hidden world of magic and mystery. He was able to learn minor alchemy from his father and thus was able to gain immortality through alchemy just as his father had. From there he returned to being a Knight until he had to fake his death and could live on his own, traveling the world. Centuries later he was reunited with his parents once again, having encountered them fighting the evil Dr. John Dee. He chose to help fight from behind the scenes. Eventually he received the sword Excalibur from Josh Newman as he grew too old to wield the blade. He was gifted/cursed with the responsibility of protecting The Book of Abraham the Mage just as he father did for many centuries. And that is where our story begins.

So basically the plot is pretty open to whatever chaos ensues n_n I'm looking for people who have read the books or at least know some of the lore. If your interested, feel free to PM me or post here!

This story seems more about your own character, but what's in it for anyone else?

I second WanderingDragon’s question. Also what book is this based off of?

@Melkor based on the fact that Josh Newman was mentioned I'm going to say it's based on a series the secrets of the immortal Nicholas Flamel. Reasonably good series, basically the gods as we know them were banished from earth for treating humans as cattle (which considering Prometheus literally created the human race is a bit of a turn). The magic system is based around auras each having a distinct smell as well as colour. Pure coloured auras are rare, pure Gold and Silver rarer and it follows a set of twins with a Gold and a Silver aura between them assisted by Nicholas Flamel and Perenelle to fulfil a prophecy and master the four elements. It's a decent enough book series but the thing that always irked me a little bit. The book spells it Nicholas Flamel but the real life man was French and his name was spelled Nicolas Flamel.

The immortals through the book got their longevity either through deals with the same gods that humans banished or in the case of the Alchemyst and his wife they sometimes find their own method of immortality. The former having the drawback of your patron deity being able to take the immortality away (unless you kill them but the cases where that applies are fewer and farther between than people who are able to make themselves live forever). There's also a species that existed before the gods, I vaguely recall them being called the Archons but they're a sort of sub plot that doesn't really go anywhere particularly interesting other than the implication of the gods being created...there's also this whole vampire thing. It's six books, there's a lot of material to work with but I'd be cautious about joining this roleplay, not least of which being Nicholas Flamel didn't discover immortality through alchemy, the book gave him the recipe and the recipe changes every time he and Perenelle use it so his son finding the recipe for himself breaks canon straight out the gate. I can see him making a deal and breaking it with a patron deity after getting his hands on the book (I forget what they're called in universe) but also wonder if it wouldn't be better for the book to end up in the hands of a distant descendent and starting the journey from there...I have interest in the universe, cautious about the concept as presented.

Hello all, sorry for the late response. The reason the concept is written the way it is above is because it was from my character's CS and I just wanted to peak people's interest and/or see if anyone knew the book series tbh. I am a long time roleplayer (been roleplaying for 10+ years) and do not intend to make this roleplay strictly about me and my character! I apologize greatly that my Interest Check came off that way >.< I do very much enjoy creating worlds with people and developing not just my character but theirs as well. If I was to do a roleplay based off of the book series mentioned above (Thank you @Larpskendya for the explanation of the book series premise) then I would love to take it to the next level and add many more unique twists/turns, ideas, and etc. My intention was never to create a world only based around my character (once again I apologize sincerely >.<) I hope to be able to create a world with a group (based off the book series or something like it) and make it magical and fun. I hope this explains where I'm coming from adequately. Thanks for your interest and questions and etc. Hope to hear more from you all!
