Anyways, post is up. Sorry it's a little short, I'm not feeling too well today.

Dia - Dorm Room

Dia bowed her head slightly. "I can do eggs," she said with a small smile. "But only sunny side up. The rest is always a mess and ruined when I try."

---

A short time later Dia had put down a plate for Emi, herself, and found some containers to take some for Felix. She was currently enraged with cleaning up her mess, still a little flustered over Emi's last request to know more about her ramblings.

"He's, uh, another first year. And, I don't know, there's just something about him that clicks. Err. Like there's this bit that makes everything feel okay and that I can not worry around him so much. If that makes sense?" Dia said softly.

Marksman - Down the Rabbit Hole

Liz shook her head, growing ever irritated at the rain. Even with runes to help, she could barely hear her own footsteps.

And she was soaked.

"Bloody weather.." she murmured.

It was then that she heard it. The giggle.

That was definitely her sister! But... Her sister didn't giggle. Her laughs were always unique, and she could never just have a simple sound like a giggle.

She was met with a conundrum. Did she travel deeper into the forest in hopes that she'd find her sister, or continue onward in her search?

She shook her head. There wasn't a choice. This was the best lead she had, there were no other choices.

Activating a rune to make her quieter and harder to notice, not that it really mattered in this rain, Liz set of carefully.

If she found a good spot to climb a tree and move from tree to tree, she would. Otherwise she was stuck walking through the ever muddier ground, keeping her eyes peeled either way for a sign of her sister.

The 1st Magic Insurrection [NEW/ACCEPTING]

Elena Crow

Date: August 1, 2017 - 1:00pm
Location: New York Bound - Jet

Elena looked out the window, frowning, as she reflected on the events of the day. The train crash hadn't been all that incredibly far from the middle of nowhere house she called home, maybe a 5 hour drive, and it hadn't taken long for her to get a call.

She'd packed and headed out, taking longer than she probably should have. She didn't particularly want to leave the solidarity of the woods, but knew she had no real choice otherwise.

The Dark Shadows were moving. It was clear to her that bigger things were coming. Maybe it was war. Maybe it would be like it always had been.

Either way, she knew things needed to change. Everywhere. Everything. Everyone. Things couldn't remain how they were.

It was times like this that she wished she could contact her best friend. Hell, would Paulie even answer? Did she ever wonder about Elena?

She shook her head lightly, leaning back into her seat and sipping on the wine she'd requested.

Whatever was going to happen, someone higher than her felt that she was needed on site for missions. With any luck she'd continue operating on a solo basis, but her gut told her that wasn't going to be the case.

Time: 3:13pm
Location: New York streets

Elena stepped out of the car in front of the Codex building, sighing and waving the driver off.

Entering the front door, she flashed a badge and continued walking.

"Tell them I'm here," Elena called out with a wave behind her.

She continued up the stairs, preferring them over elevators, with a runners bag strapped to her back carrying her supplies. Several scrolls, notebooks, everything she thought she might need for whatever they wanted her for.

"The Artist, present and reporting for activity," she murmured to the secretary.

The 1st Magic Insurrection [NEW/ACCEPTING]

Elena Crow

Elena "The Artist" Crow

---

True beauty is creation.

---

Name: Elena Crow
Gender Female
Age: 26
Alignment: Guild
Rank within Organisation: Lieutenant

Birthmark Shape: A hazy looking crescent Moon
Location of Birthmark: Right collarbone
Magical Abilities:
The Pen:
Elena can draw something on any surface and imbue it with magic essence, bringing it to life. Works best off of paper or parchment, but could work off of most surfaces. Using different surfaces grant different bonus attributes, but takes more magic. Such bonuses may be a more resistant creature, a creature with stronger attacks, or a structure that's completely stable.

Creation: Ink Life:
By drawing creatures, both mimicking real life creatures and imaginary ones, Elena can control them with basic commands. The less real a creature is made to seem, the harder it is to bring to life. These constructs are made of ink, making use in water or rain newly impossible unless Elena dumps large quantities of her magical energy into them, often limiting her to a single entity.

Creation: Ink Building:
With careful precision, Elena can even create objects that act as a fairly solid, if mushy, substance. This takes more time, but less energy. Uses include a small board to cross a gap, a ladder, a wall for cover, etc etc. Not very useful offensively, as far as she's aware.

Cloak of Ink:
Through careful control, Elena can Cloak herself in an inky wisp, only useful in darkness and shadows, to help improve her odds are remaining undetected.

Place of Birth: Charleston, West Virginia
Currently Residing: Middle of nowhere, West Virginia (home, but almost always out for the Guild elsewhere)
Personality: Elena is a fairly relaxed woman, hard to irritate but fiercely loyal. She's rather calm in most situations, preferring to be tactical in all interactions both in the field and during discussions and talks. She is, however, an Isolationists. Preferring solo, or loose knit missions and interactions except when it involves friends and loved ones.

She can be cold to interact with at first, having a great distrust of new people.

Beyond that, she enjoys time by herself to read and draw.
History/Bio: Born in a relatively large City, Elena was taught from a young age to blend into the world. Not to draw eyes, to keep undue attention away. To be polite and enjoy life. These were the lessons her parents taught her. Mostly because they were involved in large quantities of illegal activity.

At the age of six Elena had taken on an infinity for drawing, showing a mastery skill level of creating things she'd seen once, or even things she'd heard about. While her parents were actually fairly decent people outside of the smuggling and robberies, it took them a few weeks to catch on to this new set of skills.

One evening, after get eleventh birthday, she'd been brought along with them, for some unknown reason, on one of their many dealings in illegal activity. When things started going sour, the client being unhappy about some small detail and being incredibly paranoid, she willed a drawing of a wall to life.

Unfortunately, it only protected herself. Not that she ever learned or her parents' deaths, given Guild members had been nearby.

She was taken into a sort of orphanage, as she called it, and was under the care of one Charles Serento. There she met Paulie, brought in barely a day after her. They bonded quickly, both suffering from being removed from everything they'd ever known. Elena, at least, was still in her home state and faired better than Paulie.

As time went on and they began mastering the beginning aspects of their powers, their friendship bloomed. But all was not well, given Charles's addictions and abusive nature.

Elena pleaded with Paulie to stay, but awoke one fateful morning to find her best friend gone.

Elena was devastated, and things only got worse with Charles. With one of his charges missing, he cracked down ever harder on the charges he had left.

For every little mishap, Elena was beaten or forced to spend hours, or days, in a dark room with only a toilet for company.

One fateful day, a few months before her eighteenth birthday, Elana had had enough. When the first fist swung, she reacted.

Moments later, Charles laid dead on the floor, an inky smaller

Upon coming of age she joined the ranks of the Guild proper, to protect this beautiful world from forces who would wish it harm.

From there Elena progressed relatively rapidly, dealing with missions effectively and resourcefully, and providing support wherever and however she could.

Relationships
Name: Aloysius Leighton
Relationship:Best Friends - Good Friends - Friends - Well known - Warm - Acquaintances - Unknown - Cold - Dislikes - Hates - Enemies - Rival - Nemesis
Characters opinion of them: Given that he's a well known figure of the Dark Shadows, Elena can't like him. She'd never interacted with him directly, but firmly believe that the end does not justify the means. And while she understands where his beliefs come from, she could never accept his reasons.

Name: Rose Wilson
Relationship:Best Friends - Good Friends - Friends - Well known - Warm - Acquaintances - Unknown - Cold - Dislikes - Hates - Enemies - Rival - Nemesis
Characters opinion of them: Having worked personally with Rose when she was first starting out in the Guild, Elena has a first hand impression of the leader. She feels she's competent, but disagrees with many aspects of the Guild. One thing is for sure, Rose may very well be the most powerful person Elena has ever met.

Name: Olivia Turner
Relationship:Best Friends - Good Friends - Friends - Well known - Warm - Acquaintances - Unknown - Cold - Dislikes - Hates - Enemies - Rival - Nemesis
Characters opinion of them: Given her Isolationists nature, Elena has not interacted with Olivia, but has heard mention of the non-magic user in their ranks.

Name:
Relationship:Best Friends - Good Friends - Friends - Well known - Warm - Acquaintances - Unknown - Cold - Dislikes - Hates - Enemies - Rival - Nemesis
Characters opinion of them: (Why do they feel the way that they do)

Name: Paulie "Poet" Cooper
Relationship:Best Friends - Good Friends - Friends - Well known - Warm - Acquaintances - Unknown - Cold - Dislikes - Hates - Enemies - Rival - Nemesis
Characters opinion of them: Given their shared history, Elena may know Paulie the best. As such, there's a mixture of confusion and hurt in the high esteem Elena holds her old friend in. If it came down to it, Elena would leave the Guild for her best friend, even if she would prefer to bring her friend back into the Guild.

Not that she'll ever admit to such.
Why can't you just come back?

Name: Ro
Relationship:Best Friends - Good Friends - Friends - Well known - Warm - Acquaintances - Unknown - Cold - Dislikes - Hates - Enemies - Rival - Nemesis
Characters opinion of them: With Elena being one step above Ro, they've known each other from shared experiences and missions. Possibly the only other person Elena has grown close to, besides Paulie. Elena personally believes Ro to be a bit of a rival, despite their vastly different abilities.

Roger Roger.

I'll move the CS over in a bit and get my prologue post up hopefully tonight.
Edit:
As always, let me know if anything needs changed with my post.

Capes of Denver: A Worm RP

Lillian - Oooh, Shiny

@BCTheEntity@yoshua171@solokolos@Lugubrious@ProPro

Lillian looked at the present with fascination. She reached out for it, hesitating and looking at Decoy with a look that said 'Is this really for me?'

The wrapping was pretty, she decided, with pink and purple. She almost didn't want to open it and ruin it.

Well, maybe if I do it carefully...

Listening to Decoy explain the things, she managed to barely tear the wrapping, carefully folding it for safe keeping.

Looking up at the end of the explanation, Lillian raised her hand.

"Decoy, sir? I had several questions. Umm, how long do these things last? Does mine have a dinosaur setting? Can it roar? Can we try them out now?" She stopped long enough to breathe, launching right back at it. "Do I have to keep going to school? You mentioned a mission, what does that entail? What are these made out of?"

She stopped again, grinning sheepishly, having realized she was speaking way too fast.
"I'm sorry, sir. I should've started by saying thank you. I'd hug you if I could. It's really nice and thoughtful and the wrapping was oh so pretty... It's a nice change from school."

Lillian looked around happily, eyes bright with enthusiasm. "It's not fair, though. I should be able to hug you for being nice. Nice people get hugs." With that final statement her eyes landed on Messiah, her face turning pink as she looked away quickly.

Her hand felt over the smooth device absently. It wasn't cold, but it wasn't warm. With a frown, she looked back at the protection. "Can it get warm? Like computers. Or cellphones running games."

Her brow furrowed as her frown deepened.

"I don't understand it. How it's light and smooth and it doesn't smell like technology and metal and it doesn't make all this noise like other stuff does. Like Elliot breathing harder than the others, or Alessa smelling nicer than the others. Oh. Sorry... But everything else makes sense if I think about it..."

Lillian hugged the device to her chest as she waited, nervous over all the talking she'd just done. It may very well have been the most anyone had heard her say since she'd joined the Wards, and she was feeling rather self-conscious at the moment.

Well, like I mentioned in Skype...

I thought we were still running through plans.

But looking back, I think we could move forward with our primary plan and be ready for whatever starts happening at the Point of Interest.

Darkling: The Night War

@Carnic
Well, if at least one more person is up for it I'll see what I can do.
