The Hidden People

Sapphira took a deep breath of the fresh air as she stepped out into the courtyard, having just finished with orientation. Being surrounded by so many magical beings, her innate sixth sense has been buzzing insistently in the back of her mind, alerting her to the large presence of magic. The sensation has the potential to be overwhelming but with years of practice she has learned to manage it. She can push it aside until she can spare her attention long enough to acknowledge it and explore the types of magic it is has detected.

She stopped in the middle of the courtyard and was about to open her mind to her sixth sense when the fluttering of paper caught her attention. She reflexively snatched one of the nearby flyers as it made its slow descent to the ground. The flyer stated that the Fitzroy wolf pack was throwing a party tonight at their abandoned mansion in the woods. She wasn’t much of a partier, but she considered going for the sake of meeting new people and being there if things got out of hand.

I certainly hope they are smart enough not to give people with superhuman abilities too much alcohol. Talk about a disaster waiting to happen. She mentally cringed at the thought. She folded up the flyer and stuffed it into her pocket.

She once again opened her mind to her sixth sense. She felt it immediately surge outward as it focused on different individuals with magic. Her serene crystal blue eyes followed in the directions it lead her. Her gaze landed on the dancing nymphs, and she sensed the connection they have with nature. Her gaze then moved to an Asian man sitting on the central fountain of the courtyard (Tony) @vietmyke. She recognized him as one of the Guardians Auxilaries she had seen at orientation. She could sense that he had telekinetic abilities. Her gaze moved around several more times, and her mind quickly took note of the presence of many other types of magic. Her eyes finally landed on a nearby man wearing a black scarf and hooded jacket (Morgan) @FateWeaver. She sensed that he had power over water. He did not appear to be a Fae elemental, so she assumed he was a witch.

Her mind felt more relaxed after using her power. The annoying buzzing sensation it had caused was gone—for now.

The Hidden People

Once fully grown, they will no longer show any signs of physical aging. With that said, they will not die through natural causes, such as old age, illness, or disease. However, they can die in battle, from sustaining terrible injuries, or from certain magical curses, and poisons.

Elves possess superhuman strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes. They are gifted in magic, mentally sharp and lovers of nature, art, and song. @Emma

Your description of elves has got me thinking about what kind of magic my character Sapphira would have. I am trying to closely base her on one of the characters in the story I am writing. The character has "light magic" as I call it. Some of it may be a bit much for this roleplay, so I thought I should run it by you.

• In my story she is a Seer, i.e. she can see the future. Usually she foresees potentially destructive events that can or cannot be stopped. She also foresees potential warriors that will fight for her cause.
• Her "light magic" is aversive and potentially lethal to darker beings like demons or vampires. She can channel this magic into her attacks.
• She can sense when someone has magic and can differentiate what kind of magic it is. She can also sense when someone has been possessed by an evil spirit or is being controlled by magic.
• She heals faster than humans, though not as fast as vampires or werewolves.
• She is pretty good at telling when someone is lying.

Could any of this work in the roleplay?

The Hidden People

Sapphira started her day early, just as the sun rose lazily into the sky. She had long since established the habit of waking up early, getting ready swiftly, and starting the day with a breath of fresh air. The forests surrounding the Gringore Academy called her name from the moment she arrived in Teemore a few days ago. Since then, she has spent little time in her simple dorm room and has extensively explored what her new home has to offer.

After taking a quick shower, she towel dried her hair and ran a brush through her long platinum blonde locks. She then looked through her relatively small selection of clothes and shoes to find what to wear. She chose one of her go to outfits: skinny jeans, a simple top with a shawl or jacket, and combat boots. The skinny jeans were stretchy enough to be comfortable while accentuating her long legs, and the cream colored tank top had an emblem that reminded her of the mythical Tree of Life. She pulled out a pair of short, light brown boots and a black and cream shawl to wear over her tank top. She braided her hair into a partial French braid that almost completely covered her pointed ears. She left her face free of makeup as she usually does.

She ventured outside to explore until the student orientation began. She strolled through the courtyard, admiring the beautiful flowers and thinking about what the year had to offer. Having already learned a lot from her mother and from the classes she took at the Guardian institute in Timișoara, Romania, her main focus was to go through the Guardian Training Program. She was confident she could pass the test to become an official Guardian.

Time seemed to pass by quickly. She left early for student orientation and found a spot around the middle of the room. She listened intently to the different speakers: Principal Honeycutt, faculty members, and presidents of each school club. She noted that the noise level was a bit loud for her sensitive hearing. Overall, the orientation was informative, and she enjoyed being surrounded by a multitude of Supernatural beings. She may not be a Guardian yet, but she already swore to protect those around her and uphold the peace if the need arose. Her journey to her true calling was just beginning.

The Hidden People

Sapphira Elvron Lux

"What better way to live life than to live it to the betterment of others."

Nicknames: Saph for short or Lux, which is the Latin word for "light"

Aliases: Samantha Greene, Melissa Harrington, and Jade Morris

Age: 121

Gender: Female

DOB: Spring of 1895

Occupation: Transfer student & Guardians applicant

Race: Fae • Light elf

Hair Color: Platinum blonde

Eye Color: Crystal blue

Height and Build: 5'10" • Tall, lithe, & lightly toned

Other Appearance: Thanks to her elven genes that inhibit aging once maturity is reached, she looks like she is only in her twenties despite being much older. Her skin in notably pale, much like her nearly white hair and extremely light blue eyes. She has small pointed "elf" ears that she is able to hide under her hair. Her appearance is captivating and feigns innocence. Her voice is eloquent and feminine

History/bio:
Many elves consider themselves superior to other races, human or supernatural, and would turn a blind eye to things that didn't effect them. However, the Lux family, which has lineage that can be traced back as far as England during the early Middle Ages, humbled themselves and became guardians of all races. They fought to protect supernatural beings from the humans, to protect humans from supernatural beings, and to protect supernatural beings from themselves. They essentially maintained peace for the good of all. Many generations prior to Sapphira, the Lux family became a part of the Guardians, an ancient organization of protectors of the supernatural world that has been around longer than the Gringore Academy.

Sapphira grew up in a small community of Supernatural beings on the English countryside. She is an only child, born to a family of Guardians. Her mother was formerly a Guardian before Sapphira was born, while her father remained an active duty Guardian. From a young age, her mother instilled in her the chivalric virtues upheld by their family, of bravery, courtesy, and honor. Her mother taught her about both the supernatural world and the human world. By puberty, age fifty for elves, Sapphira was a wealth of knowledge and was only beginning to learn combat in earnest. Her father would come home as often as his Guardian duties would allow, which was not that often. Her mother was her teacher, best friend, and confidant. When she was not being taught by her mother, she would roughhouse with the local male "children," or explore the nearby forests on foot or on horseback.

Sapphira's once peaceful life changed in 1999, the year she turned 104. It was the year she was suppose to go to the Guardian institute in London, England to take the test to become an official Guardian. Was being the operative word. That year her father was killed by malicious hunters. The hunter got away. Sapphira, of course, postponed going to the institute while the Supernatural community laid low and the Guardians upped their taskforce. Six years went by with seemingly little to no abnormal activity. During that time, she took on leadership positions within the community and continued training with her mother. She was getting ready to go to the institute when the hunters struck again. Sapphira's mother was killed in 2005 not too far from their home. Her world and the world of her Supernatural community fell to pieces.

In the past eleven years, she has moved around a lot. She has spent time with her uncles and aunt in Italy, Romania, and Iceland respectively. She has done some traveling of her own as well. Everywhere she went the darkness of her past seemed to follow her like a shadow. She wanted more than anything to become the Guardian that her parents trained her to be. She wanted to protect others as they had done, even if it eventually led to her death. What better way to live life than to live it to the betterment of others. With some convincing, her uncle in Romania let her attend the Guardian institute in Timișoara and shadow him at his job for a few years. She eventually decided upon transferring to the up and coming Gringore Academy.

Family/Relationships:
The Lux family can be traced as far back as England during the early Middle Ages (5th to 15th century).
Father • Deceased in 1999
Mother • Deceased in 2005
Two uncles • Father's side • Both Guardians • One in Italy & one in Romania
Aunt • Mother's side • A Guardian • In Iceland
Grandparents • Lost track of or deceased

Other/Extra:
She knows enough Romanian and Italian to hold a basic conversation.
She loves horses and is a fairly good horseback rider.

@Emma

Awesome ! Added Elves under fae!! :D

Thanks! :)
I based my character off of one of the main characters in the story I have been slowly writing. This roleplay will be a good opportunity to work on my writing skills and get a feel for this character.

@Emma Hi, I am interested in joining this. I wanted to know if I could make a light elf, since elves are a type of fae. This is the information I found on light elves:

According to Mythology Wikia,

Elves are creatures of Norse mythology. The elves were originally imagined as a race of minor nature and fertility gods, who are often pictured as youthful-seeming men and women of great beauty, living in forests and underground places, like caves, or in wells and springs. They have been portrayed to be long-lived or immortal and as beings of magical powers. In Norse paganism, Light elves were beautiful creatures and were considered to be “guardian angels”. The god Freyr, were the ruler of Alfheim, the home of the light elves. In terms of hierarchy, Light elves were minor gods of nature and fertility; they could help or hinder, humans with their knowledge of magical powers. They also often delivered an inspiration to art or music.

According to Marvel Wikia,

Light elves possess superhuman strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes. They all possess a vulnerability to iron.

According to LOTR Wikia,

Elves are very similar to Men. Unlike Men, however, they are immortal, in that their bodies do not age once they have reached maturity, so that they do not seem to become elderly or die of old age. They can be killed by physical injury however, or they may come to death from wasting away if after long eons of life they lose the will to live. Elves come of age at around fifty years old. They have far better vision and hearing than Men. They also have skills and abilities beyond what is possible for Men, and many can craft seemingly magical objects. Elves possess ethereal grace and various powers. Elves are light of foot, can travel long distances without leaving tracks, and often can walk lightly across snow where the boots of Men would sink. They do not require sleep, but are able to enter a waking meditative state to regain their strength

They mature mentally at a much faster rate than mortals (humans) while physically maturing much slower. Puberty is almost complete by age 50, though they are not considered full grown until 100. Once fully grown, they will no longer show any signs of physical aging. With that said, they will not die through natural causes (old age, illness, or disease) due to a natural resistance towards these factors; however, they can die in battle.
