Morgana Faith


Morgana stared blankly at the android, waiting for her to say something else or to reveal the real plan to them. She continued to stare even after Amanda had turned away and began walking towards the other house with Michael; it was a few seconds after that that Morgana realised that Amanda had not, in fact, been telling a joke.

“Excuse me?”

No, she was serious? She wanted Morgana to try and manually disarm traps and explosives that she knew nothing about? Who exactly did this team think she was? She was a researcher, a lab rat, a scholar; a few days ago she had been cooped up inside a library reading research papers on the Rigidity of Gender Norms in Scandinavian Magic Systems, not hunting down terrorist organisations. She was not, and never had been, a field agent and she was certainly not a bomb disposal expert.

Turning her head, Morgana looked at the trap-laden house she was tasked with disarming and decided she did not much like the thought of dying inside of it. The door was still open and Morgana approached it; instead of walking inside she instead stopped at the wall next to it and used her hand to wipe away at the dust and dirt to make a clean spot she could work with. She would not be passing that threshold, no matter what Amanda or anyone else said, but maybe she could do something to make a safe path through the traps a little more evident.

She wore her gloves again and with her left hand she traced a sigil on the back of her right, activating yet another hidden circuit that caused the tip of her index finger to begin to glow. Pressing her finger to the wall of the house Morgana drew a perfect circle on the space next to the door, her finger leaving a trail of light like incandescent ink in its wake. Working quickly she filled in a pattern, circles within circles and shapes within shapes, the spaces in between filling up with words and symbols over time as she created a formula half from memory and half from scratch. It would take her about five minutes, maybe ten, to complete the design but when she was done her magic would fill the house and highlight the passage of people; their footsteps, their hand prints, any contact between a living being and the contents of the house would be illuminated like a heat map. The traps would still be there, they would still be hidden, but perhaps this would let them navigate the building as safely as its usual occupants did.

@Martian@Kumbaris
@Blade17 Is four people enough to start the discord? Assuming everyone who has shown interest here ends up joining?
@Emeth Here's my character so far. I haven't done any of the combat information yet, I'll wait until I've made her wish for that.

Well it will work like any other duel if u use a real life deck shuffle the card then draw five. Unless like i said if the plot demands it you will get the specific cards you need


So... are you expecting us to have real decks, which we use for the RP? Because as I said I am only just getting back into Yugioh. All my decks are like five or six years old.
I'm not sure I understand how it's meant to work- when you say the winner is random, it kind of implies to me that you can out-duel the opponent, but still lose?? Would skill in the game even matter??


I assume they mean that the winner is not predetermined most of the time, as in it will be skill based for the most part. if there is a story reason for someone to win however then the result will be scripted.

I have a question about the duels though @Blade17. You say we are posting pictures of the cards we play in discord but what determines our draws and stuff? Do we just draw whatever we want from our deck?
Welcome fellow gamer. I'm in the same boat as you: trying to get back into yugioh! I'd love to spitball some deck and character ideas with you. Maybe we could collab and make some characters who are close.


Yeah sure, we can work together on this. Not sure what deck I'm going to use yet, I need to do some play testing, but I'm thinking something villainous; dark, zombies, fiends, that kind of thing. Probably a rival type character.
Awesome what is your discord


Sent it to you.
Alright sure, I've been getting back into Yu-Gi-Oh recently so I'll give this a shot.
This looks interesting. I'll probably need to see a completed character sheet before I really understand all the power stuff, but interesting.
Morgana Faith


“Tsk. A mess she says.” Morgana grumbled under her breath as Faye used her esoteric abilities to trace the magic in the portal to its destination. She watched the girl for a few seconds, seeing nothing whatever with her mundane eyes, before moving on.

What did magic look like to a fae? That they experienced magic in a different way to humans was well known, as shown by the way the girl could just glance at empty air and comment on how the magic looked to her, but what did she see exactly? Was there a visual difference between Greek and Middle Eastern formulas, between the modern and the archaic? How did they differ? Was it like looking at two paintings in different styles laid atop each other? Or like a building where the foundations were made in one style and the second floor in another?

Well, there was no denying that whoever had created this ritual had made something needlessly complex and potentially unstable by mixing different cultural spheres together, but it still worked and as far as Morgana could tell worked well; to call it a mess was to ignore the understanding and talent required to weave something like that together. Whoever made this was a genius, or at least exceptionally talented; the lack of a formal education does not mean the lack of any education after all, only that they did not learn what they knew from textbooks and classrooms. They had learned; in fact they had learned quite a lot. The intricacies involved, the careful balancing act of blending two or more disparate schools of magical theory without them clashing was more than Morgana could adequately describe; someone could dedicate years of their life to creating a ritual formula as complex as this and likely had. Though whether this person had created it themselves or simply learned it from another she wasn’t yet sure.

Being a scholar of magic was about standing on the shoulders of giants while trying to become a giant yourself, after all. Everything was built on top of what was there already.

Morgana raised her left hand and made a circle with her thumb and forefinger again. The circuit that appeared this time was different than the one she had used before with her right hand; rather than let her see the faint traces of magic in the air, this one let her capture and store images that could then be called forth later on. A camera, essentially. She recorded an image of the ritual circle for further perusal later on before turning away.

“Minsk, is it?” Not the place she would have expected to find a scholar of ancient Greek and Middle Eastern magics, but then those were a rare breed to begin with. “How fun. I’ve never been to Eastern Europe.”
