Full Name: Alicia Maravillar
Alias: Sweets
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Homeland: She was found in Barcelona, but she has lived in almost every Spanish colony at least once
Appearance:
Languages: Speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese, and can stutter through French. She can understand Italian due to her knowledge of all these other languages and can read and write Greek and Latin, though speak neither. She also fluently speaks Arkana, or the language of spells.
Height/Weight: She’s forgotten what she ought to be... It varies.
Outfit/Armor: Well, if she had it her way, her classic blue dress and work apron. But she will concede to armor, if it is shiny, and isn’t tarnished or rusty, or worst of all, bloody. And on no account will she cover up her hair with a helmet.
Hunting Gear: She will bring her portable cooking set with her everywhere, and a deck of cards. And, if you really must bring something of combative value, she supposes a sword will do.
Strength 1: She is an excellent chef, even on the road and with non-magical items.
Strength 2: She has an amazing memory, sharpened by her card counting habits.
Strength 3: She comes from a very rich line of diplomats, and as such is fluent in many languages and can fit in with even the most prissy of cliques.
Weakness 1: Almost everyone she knows thinks she’s crazy.
Weakness 2: Having been a witness to so many diplomatic interactions, she has a hard time taking people at face value.
Weakness 3: She’s never had a formal teacher, and as thus her powers are mostly unformed.
Weakness 4: She’s a hopeless romantic. She will swoon over any guy who even hints at the “L” word.
Occupation: Daughter of a diplomat and a baker in her free time
Skill Set: She is good at playing “good cop” in interrogations, after being the innocent daughter in so many of her father’s schemes. She picked up some swordplay, and while she is good at it, she prefers not to soil her dress. She can blend in to a crowd fairly easily, and has lots of connections she can call on.
Magic Abilities: While she does have the ability to cast spells, she does not know it and has never tried. However, she can infuse magic into sweets, such as a spell to grow a person to fill an entire room or shrink them down to the size of a thimble, in addition to any other spell she can get her hands on. She is not a frontline fighter, more of a support party.
Pets/Companions: She has a... cat. Or at least, she thinks it’s at least part cat, considering she has only even seen part of it at a time, and the facial structure looks nothing like a cat, with a smile wider than hers and eyes the size of tea saucers. It’s also too large, or so she thinks, to be a cat. It’s partly invisible, you see. Or all invisible. It’s followed her for her entire life, and from her ability to speak to animals he seems to think she’s some Alice woman. She accepted it as an Anglicization of her name and moved on.
Personality: Alicia can be a bit... spoiled. She has lead a privileged life, and unfortunately, it can show. She is also a bit jaded, growing up around political corruption. However, she tries to be happy, and focuses on the positive when she can manage it. She loves people, and enjoys being the center of attention. However, her noble upbringing can cause her to accidentally come across as quite haughty.
Background: When your father is the most powerful man in town, you get privileges. Privileges such as a private tutor for every subject, a new suitor whenever the fancy struck her, balls given in her honor because, well, she asked. These privileges extended wherever she went, a trail of diamonds followed her from colony to colony, and after the Texan Revolution, back to Spain where she learned the truth of her mother. Everyone assumed that she was a legitimate child, as they knew his wife had died in childbirth around the time Alicia appeared. The truth was much darker.
The princess quickly became a pauper when it was discovered that his wife was not, indeed, dead, but she ran away from her corrupt husband. He had been taking bribes and selling her out to other men as part of deals, and Alicia was not his daughter, but that of a British king, the product of “negotiations.” Alicia was cast out and her mother executed, and she was out of options when the Guild found her.
Unique Abilities: She can speak to animals and plants. However, there is no promise that they will do as she asks. They are far less pliable than humans, and if they don’t want to help you, they won’t.
Other: She is the descendant of Alice (in Wonderland) on her biological father’s side, hence no one knowing anything about why she could hear flowers and the like. Her cat is Cheshire, he’s immortal.
Full Name: Alexandra, the Maid. She’s never had a last name other than that.
Alias: Frost
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Race: Sorceress (a human born with magic, rather than developed through practice or education)
Homeland: Arendell
Appearance:
Languages: English
Height/Weight: 5’6, 140lbs
Outfit/Armor: Whatever she conjures, made of ice.
Hunting Gear: Her gloves, to make the time off the field easier.
Strength 1: She is immensely powerful.
Weakness 1: She can’t control it when she gets emotional.
Strength 2: There is no one else alive like her, her powers are more or less unique.
Weakness 2: There is literally NO ONE else alive like her.
Strength 3: She looks completely unassuming, as she carries no weapons and wears no armor.
Weakness 3: If you take away her magic, she has nothing
Occupation: A scullery maid and a lost noble
Skill Set: She can keep a very clean house and keep anything cold. She has learned the hard way how to keep secrets and can sew very well. Can build a shelter in a matter of seconds and learned how to eavesdrop, pick a few loose pockets and muddle through some simple locks. All the things a loyal maid picks up when she has magic on her side.
Magic Abilities: She has Ice Magic, and can harness cold. She can make storms, conjure the icy winds, form ice into whatever shape is needed and give life to snow. However, the whole melting thing... Well, that’s a work in progress.
Pets/Companions: She doesn’t really have anyone, she was too pretty for the other maids and too common for the ladies. She only has whatever snowmen she makes to keep as company.
Personality: Alexandra is a timid thing, but this opportunity has allowed her to explore a bit more and experiment with what she can do, taking away some of her fear. She enjoys life in general, but is not ambitious and was very happy with her station in life. However, she has a wretched temper. She gets extremely angry at the tiniest thing, and completely loses control of her powers.
Background: First, a brief family tree. Elsa has two children, none with any signs of magic. One child is lost, assumed dead, while the other lives on the be the current nobility. However, the younger sibling did survive, and almost a hundred years have passed and Elsa is treated more like a deity than a dead monarch, and people believe that her powers were only in legend and sorcery doesn’t exist anymore.
Alexandra has spent her life hiding this from everyone, fearful of being taken away from her life once they discover that she must be a direct descendant of Elsa. She enjoyed her life as a maid, cleaning and gathering palace gossip. She was sweet on a young man, but then the Guild showed up. After discussing it with her mom, she decided to go and explore the world with the Guild.
Unique Abilities: She has ice magic. Very, very powerful ice magic.
Other: Alexandra has figured out her parentage, but is afraid she’ll be forced into the nobility if she is discovered. Also, despite being a maid, she is very fashionable and has picked up on the royal trends. Lastly, she is looking for the gloves worn by Elsa, as no gloves she has tried have helped her, and she assumes they must be enchanted.

Would anyone be interested in a RP like that? This is the plot and such:
London's Burning is falling down, falling down, falling down.
London's Burning is falling down, dead fair ladies.
London, a city of steam. The entire city runs on the power generated by this confusing power source, the same water that keeps people alive powers the machines used to suppress them. The Steampunk Era is in full force in this alternate timeline, where London is not just a city, but a collection of all classes bound into one dysfunctional unit of intrigue and subterfuge.
The Burning is that higher power you wonder about, that nags the back of your mind. It's not a deity that's watching your every move, it's not your boss at work that keeps such close tabs on you, it's the Burning. The Burning has a long history in this town, founded by the Governor in the Renaissance Era. Governor Burmingham named his unit Burmingham's London Intelligence for Governmental Hideouts and Trafficking, or BLIGHT. However, time has warped it into simply the Burning.
The Burning is falling. Well into the 17th century, the Steampunk Era has set in and people are beginning to think for themselves. Disappearances are occurring more and more frequently, unexplained and questionable deaths are becoming noticed, and there is even a newspaper that has started up that isn't run by a Burning operative.
The city is circular, stretching closer to the sea with the Thames opening out and forming a huge harbor at the estuary.
The outskirts of the city are inhabited by the rich and powerful, the Outer Circle being formed of large houses and mansions owned by the Great Houses of London. Inside this circle is a slightly less wealthy circle, the Lesser Houses, though these still form part of the Outer Circle. The closer towards the centre of the city, the closer the buildings. The Inner Circle is inhabited by by the poorer citizens of the city some who live in small terraced houses or wooden buildings in what are essentially shanty streets. This arrangement may seem counter-intuitive, however the city grew up from poor villages and slowly grew into wealth.
London's society revolves around two main areas, the Nobility in the Outer Circle and the black market in the Inner Circle. The latter is known about by the former, but little is done about it so long as they cause no trouble for the higher classes.
Mobility between the two Circles is difficult; a work permit or travel permit is required for the poorer citizens to leave the Inner Circle, but the Nobility have free rein over the city. The easiest way for the poorer citizens to travel is by boat along the Thames as there is an unlimited amount of trade traveling along it. Within the Outer Circle, a small network of noble pleasure houses have existed for several generations. This has been mirrored in the Inner Circle, though these do not have the same prestige.
The city is well protected by high walls around both Circles, with gates keeping citizens in and threats out. Guards and sailors protect the city.
tl;dr: Steampunk London with a secret society that is falling apart and watching your every move, you can choose to be part of the Burning, the nobility, the business class, or the lower class.
I only have 5 simple rules.
1. Play nice, this is a mature RP but keep the conflict in character, mkay?
2. Semi-lit. I'm not asking for novels, but think before posting, "Will this further the plotline?"
3. There's no magic. Technology, yes. Magic, no.
4. While I encourage all kinds of nastiness, don't be unrealistic. No one is head of this and that and a member of this too and don't forget a smuggler. Pick a profession or two, MAX three if one is a front. And that's reeeeeally pushing it.
5. Have fun, don't stress out if you have writer's block or you slip into a bit of magic. Just explain it away as a new invention or whatever.
