When a group of players click and the posts keep roling in, that's what GM dreams are made of.

We're roleplayers, of course we're going to make a third option the GM didn't present.

The GM should know exactly why each character was or wasn't accepted and be willing to state such. But the reality is that sometimes other characters/players just synergize better

So for the familiars, do they have to be animals? Or can they be like mythical creatures or humans? And are familiars a way of casting magic through like a conduit?
Familiars are capable of appearing in almost any form however they are forbidden from taking human forms. They generally pick animals that will allow them to remain inconspicuous in their current surroundings.
Familiars can be used to cast magic in the place of a conduit. There's no advantage or draw back to casting this way but a price must still be paid the same if you were to cast from a conduit. Familiars are also capable of magic on their own without instruction and most commonly do so to protect their master in the event they were at risk of dying.
Now for anyone else interested, don't let the number of accepted players discourage you. I'm more than happy to take more than six players. Was originally just looking for that number to have a solid base.
Also, I was planning to make a female character but I'm worried about the ratio of male/female D:
I wouldn't get caught up in that. Would rather people play the character they want to rather than change to fit some pseudo-ideal about gender balance.
Just finished reading through the OOC and this looks like it's going to be a really fun one! :) The ideas and lore are very, very compelling! I do have a few questions though regarding some of it, that I may or may not have looked over. If I did, I apologize!
1) I was just curious about Mather Memorial's student body. Is it like your average high school with the different cliques and whatnot? I feel like ever since 13 Reasons Why was released, there's been a broader spectrum of the different levels of bullying that exist in schools xD
2) To confirm, Hexenbruts are capable of having multiple conduits through conjoining rituals with their desired objects, yes? I know you briefly mentioned something regarding spell potency, and I was wondering if multiple conduits would limit the spell potency for some Hexenbruts. Or would different conduits suggest different potencies?
I think those are the only two questions I actually have :o
But if I have further questions I'll be sure to post them! :)
The answer to your first question is really on us to develop in the IC. I went with my character falling into the jock path but we can make the cliques and niches as broad or simplified as we want to make them.
As for the second question. You can definitely have multiple conduits but while some metals channel magic better than others it's more a degree of control and ease compared to potency. The power of a spell is related to the price paid, not the metal it's passed through.

Marie Charlotte Brunswick ______________________________________________________ November 1st, 2004 | 15 | Caucasian ______________________________________________________ Hetrosexual | ♀ | Single ______________________________________________________ 10 | Silver Comb | Oren (Southern White-Lipped Python)
D E T A I L E D A P P E A R A N C E:
Marie has an average height of 5'4, a average weight of 121lbs, and an average face. Nothing about her particularly stands out among the number of teenagers attending Mather Memorial. While she owns nicer and more expensive clothes she typically opts for a pair of jeans matched with a t-shit or hoodie depending on the season. The most attention Marie draws to herself is the occasional deadpan comment in class; showing just enough backbone not to be made the butt of the more popular kid's jokes or pranks. To most people, Marie is little more than another piece of the school's backdrop, which, being the middle-semester transfer with a felon father, suits her fine.
M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:
I want to play Marie as a character who hasn't been much more than a bystander in her own life. She's had wealth, but that came from her father with many strings attached, even her reputation at her former school was dictated by that which her brothers left behind from their time there. Then she suddenly finds herself in Crestwood Hollow with the chance for a fresh start that she has no idea what to do with. I want the discovery of her magic to be in tandem with her discovering the kind of person she really is, rather than whatever her family always dictated she be or do.
Prior to coming into her magic, I want Marie to explore the Hollow as a sort of thrill-seeker. She feels something off with the town, and highly suspects that it is haunted, though she'd never admit to believing in the paranormal. Her main focus will be the school itself, being one of the oldest buildings in the town and having a tumultuous history behind it to boot.
C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T:
Marie has been living in Crestwood Hollow for just over half a year with her 28 year old brother. She hasn't put forth any effort to make new friends, and finds the entire town too eerie to feel 'settled in'. Prior to moving to New Hampshire, the Brunswick's were a wealthy Wall-Street-working family in New York. Right until the patriarch of the family was arrested for insider trading and stock-broker fraud in 2015. It took two years for his sentence to be finalized and for everyone to realize it was a bit more than a 'temporary setback'. Marie's stepmother was gone as soon as her father's money had run dry from lawyer's fees and court fines, which left her to live with her brother, David. Their move the Crestwood was his idea, and the first step in his plan to move away from the stocks towards real-estate development. Since moving, he has been trying to persuade the local government to build a 'vacation complex'- mostly a boardwalk along the beach, south of the harbor, to be lined with vacation condos, over-priced restaurants as well as a super-mall in the south-side.
C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:
The large-scale commercial development projects Marie's brother has been petitioning for will likely put her at odds with the more traditionalist Hollow residents.
