@Kensai Does this one work? BBCode is a little jank
@Fiber, sorry to ping, but is House Thig fused with House Verditus in your take on the story?


Yes, it is. I'm trying to keep ties the overall Mage metaplot light (Avatar Storm is not in effect, Rogue Council transmission and Ascension Warrior storylines don't matter), but that did happen.
On character creation, roughly where would they be at if they only had 2 or 3 spheres that they were skilled in?

EDIT: Are things like Arcane also allowed?


Sorry I didn't catch this earlier, if they had only two or three spheres they were skilled in, they'd be specialized enough in them that they could pull off fairly advanced effects with those spheres. Although I'm trying not to be too rigid, if you're familiar with the tabletop system, they'd be able to do just about any powers listed under the third level for their best sphere, some of the third level powers and all of the second level powers for their second best sphere, and all second level powers but not really third level powers for their third best sphere. Again, this is with a narrow focus, if their skills were spread more broadly their best sphere would not be as strong.

Arcane is allowed, I think the way you described it in your CS is fine. Overall, I want characters to be balanced, but if some advantage they have is enough to be quite powerful, whether it's something like their Arcane being very strong or mundane things like access to lots of cash or connections, I'll let the player know and give them the choice of either toning it down, starting with less magical proficiency, or finding some other tradeoff.
Figured I'd get him written up anyway.

@Fiber Let me know if there are any questions, concerns, or incompatibilities.



Happy to see the sheet! I'm going to wait for some sheets to accumulate before I start handing out decisions.

I'm here. Just trying to develop an idea for an OC; it's made a bigger problem due to the fact that this RP may require IRL Face Claims. Does it?


Real life FCs are not required. Players may choose whatever picture they deem best fits their character
Officially open for business and ready for character applications! Please note, applications are not first come, first serve, I will evaluate the applications before I make acceptance decisions. The notion site is still a work in progress but has some things that you can read, who knows, you might even get some clues about potential future plotlines.

Las Vegas is the savage heart of the American Dream
Hunter S. Thompson






What is this RP?

This RP centers on a small group of mages brought together by chance in the city of Las Vegas. They might be new to magic, they might be new to Vegas, new to both or new to neither. A chance discovery of a strange, otherworldly poker chip brings all of them together, and gives them their first taste of the wider storm brewing on the horizon. They’ll start off with humble powers and grow over time, as they get drawn into a larger conflict brewing behind the scenes. Vegas has got a lot of themes to explore, from reality the border between reality and illusions, to risking it on all on a crazy bet, to the just plain insanity of fighting a war for reality in a city that features fake Venice, fake Paris, fake New York, and fake Rome among other things.

I would describe the style I’m trying to run as a quasi-sandbox. There will be a lot of plot hooks that your characters are given the option to pursue, with freedom to pick and choose among them, and you’re encouraged to add your own ideas or personal subplots in also. As the GM I will try to make most of them have some impact on the overall story to create a sense of plot progression. Hopefully, it can allow for player freedom and create variety between personal, episodic, and long term plot lines. I’m looking for dedicated players who would want to be part of that; knowledge of the setting is not necessary, I’m happy to answer any questions that come up along the way. Please be comfortable writing long posts for collaborations and detailed scenes, though solo scenes without much happening still won’t need more than a handful of paragraphs.



Rules
1. Be kind to everyone. If you have a dispute, work it out in a civil way.
2. Respect the bounds of the RP. Remember the general rules about not godmoding, controlling others characters, making characters that are overpowered/setting breaking, or contradicting what’s been established for RP. There’s plenty of room to work with others and incorporate ideas, just try to talk it through first.
3. Be part of a group. Try to work with people to make the RP happen, give people the opportunity to decide where the plot goes. Also, if you end up leaving the RP, it's all fine, just let us know if you can.

If anyone is extra eager to get started on a character, here you go.



Do you feel lucky?
Love to see the interest!
As it had been foretold. I am here and interested.

As an aside. The Nine spheres hider is empty.


Thank you for pointing that out. Should be fixed now
