Yay! I joined! I keep myself to "Appear offline" most of the time, but I almost always have my phone with me, so I'll get to the messages a lot quicker

A demons' bride- a horror war story-closed

name: Gwynefyr "Gwyn" Astelier
age: 26
bio: Gwyn is the first and only child of Dietrich and Gabriella Astelier. Her father is human, and through her mother's veins flowed the blood of archangels. Gwyn was born a Nephilim, half human and half angel, her powers sealed away thanks to the dilution of her angelic bloodline by that of human blood. As a Nephilim, she does have the ability to unlock her angelic powers, though it cones with a cost. Her mother did not have much tine to teach her, however as the childbirth had weakened her, and it was shortly before Gwyn's 7th birthday that a particularly harsh winter took Gabriella. Dietrich did his best to raise her, but how does one raise a Nephilim? Now with war looming on the horizon and imminent invasions from both sides, Gwyn and her father face a dark and difficult road ahead.
role in the story: Princess of the land of Ellystrom
powers:
Her skills would fall under the the "summoning" and "alteration" schools of magic. It is genetic, but involves a pretty steep start-up price and will incur a cost to use.

When she is of an understanding age, and if she willingly accepts the costs, she goes on a Forage. She gathers some natural flora and fauna ingredients and creates a special "ink" from it. She then creates a "mark" of her own design on her body somewhere. The ink will burn into her flesh and mix with her blood to basically "unlock" access to her angelic powers.

With these powers, she uses a combination of summoning and alteration where she can make things out of other materials and infuse them with magic. For example, she can take a rock, use her magic to make it into a spear shape and throw it.

The caveat is that each time she does that, it exerts a cost, the mark on her body will spread, causing pain each time. If its a small thing, like turning a leaf into a piece of paper, it's practically no cost. But if it's something big like earth-bending a mountain into existence, it would make the mark take over a whole limb.

Since Nephilim are so rare, no one can say what happens if the mark consumes the entire surface of the body... There is much speculation, but no definitive evidence.

Well, we needn't decide on with whom our characters end up with before the game begins. I think it would be fun to let events play out and see how it goes.

@bloonewb

I tentative plan is good tho. Plans can change, but having ideas it always a good course of action.

@LostDestiny

I agree with both of these sentiments. I think having a tentative plan is good, just so we're not all sitting around waiting for some unknown cue to start the action, but it doesn't need to be set in stone until IC decisions are made. Compatibility between writing partners is just as important as the compatibility between characters.

@SereneDoge Oh. my. gosh... Those diary entries are amazing! I know it sounds silly, but I love reading the way people feel about my character. I am really excited to see how Sulhana's dynamic works with her sisters. This feels like a fantasy version of the Bennett sisters from Pride and Prejudice.

The Sahasian Alliance

I am quite content working together with Martian on our characters' relationship and am excited about getting this started!

A demons' bride- a horror war story

Awesome! I'm excited!

The Sahasian Alliance

I rather enjoyed the idea of making the resident nerd of the family!

The Sahasian Alliance

I'm excited too! I haven't been in a group forum rp for about 2-3 years now...

Loreena

Name: Loreena Altera
Age: 21
Bio: Loreena was the second child born to Harold and Tiana, a bit of a surprise so soon after the arrival of Annalise. She was a bit of the opposite of her elder sister, darker in hair and skin and also possessed a disdain for all things court related as she grew out of the nursery.

She loved her books, often sneaking down into the library and reading long into the night. She devoured books like a starving man would a loaf of bread, and it was discovered that she possessed an eidetic memory, making her classes a breeze for her, though it seems like applying her knowledge to real life provided a challenge. Lore was also the first, and seemingly only, of her sister to show any skill in magic, swiftly coming under the tutelage of the royal mages. She is able to pick up a skill quickly, but mastering it takes time.

Her most secret and ardent desire is to go on an adventure. To visit a far off land, to learn new magics from various teachers, and to write an adventure story of her own. For this reason, she is, perhaps, the most interested of her sisters in the plan their father laid out for them to marry one from a different kingdom. As long as he has books, or doesn't mind her building a library, and a sense of adventure, she will be content.

I have spoken with LostDestiny about taking the fourth princess slot after asking some questions about the setting. If you can give me a little time, I will have my character up for review
