The First Magical Incursion

@FunnyGuy

Thanks for your character submission. I have just finished glancing over it and I won't sugar coat it: m This time around the character sheet is declined.

Let me make it clear that it isn't anything wrong with your writing ability. That is perfectly fine, however this time it is the power that I don't approve of. We have already had to decline one person for spirit powers, so I would feel slightly. Hypocritical if I allowed another one through.

Obviously as a GM the idea of poessing people is an red flag right away. The amount of abuse and power play that could bring in is disasterific. I am not saying you would, but in the previous two iterations of this RP things have broken down over powers and people potentially using them to meta, even if they never did use them. So this time I am trying to avoid this outright.

Spirits don't really exist in this universe. When you die, you die. There are a few things related to soul magic (But that would be spoilers if I revealed more) but even that gets close to necromancy.

I hope you understand and are not angry by my decision. If you were willing to change the power then there is no reason why we couldn't accept you.

The First Magical Incursion

Here are my more refined ideas, in order of how excited I am to play them.
_{Totally not a covert way of saying please let me use the hallucinations power}

Hider

Hallucinations - As title. Alters peoples perceptions of sensory input. In order for this to work, something more or less has to be there in the first place. The user can make a sound feel louder, a touch feel like it burns, or a park bench grow teeth and start viciously snapping, but can't make them perceive something that has no basis in reality. No physical change is made to the object, only the subject's perception of it. Note that harm cannot be done through making hot sand on a beach look and feel like lava, though making lava look like honey will obviously cause harm to the one hallucinating if they decide to go eat some. Direct mind control is NOT achievable through this, the subject is still free to react in a characteristic manner.

Trance - The ability to gain supernatural effects through meditation. Different trance effects can be gained through performing different trances. Each trance must last at least an hour before any effects are gained and may only be cast upon the user, but can provide potent effects. Stuff like granting super-focus, super-speed, additional charisma. No additional abilities may be gained through this, as in one may not gain pyrokenisis through trance, only enhancements of natural abilities (excepting the ability to use trance).

Concrete - Think less of telekinetic control of concrete, more of a touch based control. While in physical contact with concrete, it can be crumbled, thrown, swung, or otherwise manipulated without reverting it to liquid, reshaping it while maintaining mass, or otherwise causing it to behave differently from how concrete actually behaves.
That being said, kenesis isn't impossible with this ability, but the nature of concrete makes it quite difficult unless it's been broken up. I've put this here as a safe option, but I'm vastly more excited for the other two.

@Strange Rodent

First one gets my vote.

Name: Aloysius Leighton

Age: 24
Alignment: Dark Shadow
Rank within Organisation: Glorious, Revolutionary, Great Leader

Birthmark

Location of BirthmarkLocated on his upper back, left shoulder. It is roughly 10 centimetres across and 15 centimetres tall
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 First Magical Incursion

@Dead Cruiser

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.
