Magical Abilities:Aloysius has the power of the wind. He can create gusts of wind from seemingly nothing, from small gusts to hurricane strength winds. He has also started to learn the basics of creating wards, able to protect himself from incoming damage, since his engagements with Salem have become significantly more difficult.

Place of Birth: Cambridge, Great Britain
Currently Residing: New York, United States of America
Personality: Devilish, Overconfident and conniving would be the three best words to describe Aloysius as he got older. Proud of his heritage and snobbish to anyone who isn't, his evil streak has gotten worse over the past few years. He has developed a sadistic streak, enjoying mental torture and torment. Almost always bearing a grin or a smirk, Aloysius has convinced himself of his superiority over others and while this can be true in most cases, it has caused him to get into some perilous situations in the past. There is however a much more sheepish side of Aloysius that breaks through at times, despite how hard the sadistic, egotistical part of Aloysius tries to suppress it.

History/Bio: Aloysius had the privilege of being born into one of the four great magical lineages in the world. And while the de Silva's had ruled for longer than Aloysius had been born, his status did bring about a certain kind of upbringing. Born to a British Mother and a Japanese Father and growing up in upper class England, Aloysius was bought up with a sense of entitlement and superiority over others.

His mother was the one who had the magic powers, his father being a non-magi who had no idea the kind of power that coursed through his sons veins. So instead his father focused on his business, an armaments business that he inherited from Aloysius's grandfather. When Aloysius was around 10 Years old the family moved over the United States. Unfortunately, his father died two months later under especially suspicious circumstances. Rather conveniently his mother stood to gain the family fortune. In a cruel twist of fate for the egotistical women, when the will was revealed the fortune was split in half between his mother and Aloysius.

So aged 11, Aloysius was set for life and stuck in a country where he had no friends and most certainly did not fit in. It was around this time that he began to discover the magic power inside him. Given his heritage, Aloysius was going to need special training to contain and hone his powers. Standard Guild training was not going to be enough, so he was enrolled into special classes with the Guild Senior leadership.

It was at this time that he met Salem for the first time, the prestigious daughter of the Guild Leader and heir to the Guild. Many expected them to become rivals, just like the families of the past. But while they didn't become best of friends, they most certainly got along. Some of them even expected them to get together. His mother could saw Salem as a threat, an attempt by the de Silva's to weaken and eliminate the Legihton's the history books. She began to manipulate Aloysius, convincing him that Salem was going to backstab him when he came of age and that he needed to strike first.

Once he turned 18 he stormed away from the Guild, rather than joining up and started his own little rebellion. Salem's father decided to take a rather pacifist approach to Alysious's rebellion and paid the ultimate price when just after his 19th birthday, him and his Dark Shadow "Misfits" attacked the Guild and killed him.

Salem was shortly confirmed into power and suddenly everything changed. The Guild went from pacifist to all out war overnight. Salem wagered an overnight war over the Dark Shadow, wiping them off the map and forcing them underground. It took a whole 3 years for him to come out of hiding and starting to rebuild, and hopefully this time, he would get to Salem before she got to him.

Terrenum: The Great War (Fantasy/Realistic/Dice - Recruiting Applicants)

Hey!

Just wondering if there anymore slots open for this?

The First Magical Incursion

Hey @Dead Cruiser,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I should have really replied to this sooner but got slightly waylaid by things today.

So, we currently have a bit of a tie break going on, with one Co-GM on either side of the fence. So I guess I actually have to do my job for once and make a decision!

I will say that the power is very neat. You can tell that you have really thought this concept through. That being said however, I personally don't think it is a good fit for the universe. I appreciate that you say that it is highly underpowered, but with a power that is so broadly defined as this, it can be very easy for something to become over powered, whether the intention is there or not. Not saying that you would overpower it of course.

The original version of this RP didn't really include any Supernatural elements, mainly to avoid certain situations like these. I hope this doesn't put you off joining the RP at all.

The main reason for the ban in forbidden magics is that Aloysius himself is not keen on them. (Though he may be hypocritical there.) He us trying to win over the hearts and minds of the zmsgi to his cause. Most if the forbidden magics are considered taboo, so if he allowed theur use in the DS it woukd only strengthen the popular opinion of the Magi to have them destroyed.

Forbidden msfuc includes Necromancy, Blood Magic, Poession Magic and chronomagic.Rune Magic us a little but more complicated. Rune magic involves drawing a symbol upon a surface using magic infused energy, usually drawn frkn the casters soul. These runes, depending on what was drawn can have varying effects, from harmless to outright lethal. Ontop if this, Runes tend to degrade the soul if the user, shortening theur lifespan with each use. Given the lack of Magi alive anyway, losing done to Rubemsgic could be problematic.

Therefore Rune Magic is mostly taboo. The only really exception is the use of defensive runes to fortify locations etc. This is down to the fact that defensive runes are less soul intensive and the would can recover from them. Offensive runes deal alot damage to the soul and in some cases are even irreparable.

As for your suggestion with ghosts and dead interaction: The walking dead is a thing that doesn't exist. That kind of necromancy hasnt been seen in a long time and Salem and Al are both in agreement the would want to keep it that way. As for ghosts it is indeed possible for the soul to stay behind after death. Normally they pass onto the afterlife completely of their own accord. Occasionally they have to be pushed. But someone could interact with them. (I don't want to say anything else as we start getting into spoiler region)

I hope that has helped you somewhat.

The Dark Shadow was labeled as terrorists by The Guild, mostly after they attacked Guild HQ. Until then they were pericived as a bunch of angry Magi that had a grudge against the Guild.

Without writing a whole lore document, the Dark Shadow was formed by Aloysius after his mother manipulated him into believing that Magi were superior to the Non-Magi, and that The Guild leadership were planning to have him killed. (Which wasn't the case.)

Since the Guild was the only authority of Magi on the planet, it has always been the view of it's The Guilds way, or prison. Maybe even death. Not everyone agrees, but for the common good everyone obeys. So when Dark Shadow formed it caused ripples through Magi world. Suddenly there was an alterative. If people had a grudge against the Guild there was now somewhere they could go without fearing Guild reprisement.

For a while things stayed quiet, with a odd cold War style peace existing between the two. That changed when Aloysius (Under his mother's influence) attacked the Guild and pulled of what many thought were impossible, and killed the Guild leader. Many thought that it could have been the end of The Guild, but instead once Salem rose to power she doubled down, and waged a rapid campaign that saw the Dark Shadow almost elimated. Many members were imprisoned or killed and Aloysius and his most senior aides who had survived (Currently only Ty and Emily) went underground.

That was approximately 4years ago, and now Aloysius has clmabered out of the woodwork and is making moves again. If you believe The Guild propoganda then the DARK Shadow is nothing more than a group of edge Lords who are trying to plunge the world into evil and chaos. However some Magi argue that Aloysius is actually showing an alterative to Guild leadership. Afterall, the existence of magic hasn't been revealed to the Non-magi since Aloysius has been around. And he seems rather charismatic. (They haven't actually met him at this point. Dark Shadow might not be perfect, but neither is the Guild, especially since Salem took charge.

I hope that helps clarify things a bit more.
