Ok, thanks for the elaboration and sorry for taking up some of your time. I'll refurb the app on the spot and make it to which the magi performed the spell incorrectly; I'll get back on it soon enough.

Also, I am totally not going to have Arata steal a car from our resident vampire if he gets accepted and run onver Magi before eventually crashing into a shop.

@Savo

You do realise how ridiculously hard it would be to steal a modern, high-end sports car? It's not happening. You'd just pick another fight for no reason. :P

I mean, allies later on, in your Vampire Character's case.

@Letter Bee

I refuse to plan future roleplaying. :P

@Raineh Daze, can Osamu and your character be allies?

@Letter Bee

One of them is solely allied with the church, the other hasn't been in town for a decade. So no. On the plus side, neither of them are going to kill what's basically a child.

I'm willing to write up the humans too, if nobody else has a burning desire to do so.

Black Moon, White Night: A Visual Novel-inspired Urban Fantasy RP

• Name: Sister Lucrezia, High Executor
• Age: 27
• Gender: Female
• Appearance:
• Personality: Easily described as 'lacking a sense of humour', Lucrezia seems to have something of a blind spot where relaxation is concerned. She's utterly concerned with her duties, even to her own detriment, and unwilling to argue matters of morality. On the plus side, she tries to hew to the spirit of things even where the supernatural intrudes.
• Abilities: A magus as well as a member of the church, Lucrezia's affinity is Light. Whilst this provides her with a wide variety of spells to obfuscate, displace, or entirely hide her position whilst in wait for an enemy, it also has offensive potential through the simple expedient of using lasers. Being slower to cast than simply shooting someone, they are rarely her choice of weapon, but with time permitting she does have a magical trump card: six wings of light capable of rapidly bombarding a target. The Latin chant to cast it is far too unwieldy to manage whilst actively fighting, however.
  Her favoured technique, in the end, is one that simply shifts her apparent position a few feet to either side.
• Skills: Lucrezia is both a skilled marksman and more than capable of holding her own in melee. She's also rather good at getting into a good position to hide, even if her general attire hardly favours blending in.
• Equipment: Both Lucrezia's rifle, and the bayonets she carries as a backup, are blessed, making them far worse for vampires or the like to be stabbed by. Not one to underestimate her opponents, she's long eschewed using anything less than armour-piercing rounds... overkill for a person, but witches can be hard to bring down.
• Brief Backstory: An orphan raised by the Catholic church, Lucrezia's magical ability was noted at a young age and, with her devotion, she was inevitably brought into the church. In the long term, this lead to her joining the branch of the church dealing with exorcisms... a job at which she excelled, further being promoted. When the White Night ritual came to her attention, Lucrezia immediately moved to get involved: such a power should wholly belong to God, thus either the church should wield it or one of its members should receive and return it.

I have a bad habit of not mentioning something if I have nothing negative to say about it when it comes to worldbuilding.

World Building Project

Living, for the most part, on an island far to the north of Marduk, the dark elves are one of the most isolated races in the world. Given their relatively unsettled lifestyles, it is generally assumed that the dark elves and wood elves are closer to each other than either are to the high elves.

The choice of ‘dark’ is rather a misnomer, as they are—if anything—paler than the other elves, referring more to the way that their large island spends much of its time in darkness, or alternately the tendency to build downwards (or utilise natural caves) and consequently spending a lot of time in the depths of the earth. This has given them a vision in darkness equal to the subterranean dwarves, though the prevalence of green eyes is an unrelated oddity.

Due to the climate and geography, agriculture would be effectively impossible—especially without effective ploughs. Instead, the dark elves derive sustenance almost entirely through animal sources—either hunting the large game that can survive on the grasses, ferns, and other vegetation that manages to survive; fishing in the cold waters for everything from mackerel up to whales and giant squid; or the odd mix of domestic livestock and used for other uses than meat. This mostly animal-derived diet is supplemented by an array of cave-grown fungi, along with honey from the bees that somehow managed to survive the winters.

Due to having few easily-available natural resources other than furs and whale by-products, the dark elves often find themselves as traders, comfortable with navigating river systems to reach more populous lands, or outright raiders at times. Some choose to instead become mercenaries—many forming the human emperor’s elite guard, uninvolved with their politics.

In a rare turn of events, my backstory is the only thing I have complete so far.

@The Omnipotent Sphere

That was the first thing I got down, too. XD

World Building Project

Okay... hmm... Does anyone want to do an idepth write up of one of the races? (I know there have been some before, I'll take a look.) I'm thinking we could vote on that then knock some more out in a similar fashion. If you've got a write up to be voted on, say the word.

@Joegreenbeen

I'll do the Dark Elves. Not really invested in the other races and I'd start doing Roman history if I went near the humans. XD
