The Griffin Insurrection

@Affili Alright he's good, feel free to send him over to the Character tab

The Griffin Insurrection

@Affili Alright he looks good but just two things. First, the picture at the top isn't showing up for me. It might just be me, I'm not sure, but since it's the only picture in the CS, I'm gonna ask that you try and find a different one. If you can't it's no biggie. Second, you should have a quote by your character and also one by someone else about your character. Once you fix those things, he's accepted :)

The Griffin Insurrection

@The Emperors Blade@Avanhelsing Both sound good! I cant wait to see them :)

@Obscene Symphony Yep we're still open

@The Emperors Blade Enchanters would be the way to go for that. Like Monkey said I'm allowing them to have tattooed runes on their body that enhance certain physical traits.

Also, stay tuned cause I'm gonna be writing up a ton of NPC's

The Griffin Insurrection

Charlie Lancaster

"If you don't have anything to fight for, why are you even alive?"
"That boy has a fire inside of him. Just like his mother."

The Basics

Name

Charlie Finnegan Lancaster

Nicknames

Lancaster - Some of the people around the rebel village call him this, but most just call him Charlie.
Fuck-Up - No one who wants to keep breathing calls him this to his face, but some of the people around the camp who don't like him that much call him this, in reference to his last mission.

Birthday

January 14th, 1997

Age

19

Gender

Male

Sexuality

Heterosexual, but he hasn't really put a lot of thought into it.

Appearance

When Charlie's around the camp, he dresses casually. Normally you can find him in a hoodie, some joggers and some black converse, but when he's going out he dresses slightly differently. When he's out on a mission his outfit consists of a black hoodie that's been enchanted with an armor enchantment and some dark grey pants, with a holster for his gun strapped to his side. His hair is normally quiffed up, but when it isn't it falls into his piercing blue eyes. The only tatto he has his on his left forearm. The tattoo is of a lighting bolt that begins at his wrist and forks off and ends just above his elbow.

Skills

Sorcerer Type

Charlie is an elementalist, with his greatest control being over fire and water.

Skills

• Tracking
• Control over fire - Charlie has the greatest control over fire and can create fireballs the size of his own head, and even spark a fire at a spot a few feet away from him.
• Control over water - Charlie can manipulate about 1 1/2 buckets worth of water into weapons but anything past that and his control get shaky.
• Control over earth - Charlie has the least amount of control over the element of earth. When he focuses he can touch the earth and sense where people are, but it drains him.
• Control over air - Charlie can manipulate the air to create a breeze strong enough to make someone stumble back and lose their balance, but that is the limit to his strength.

Personality

Charlie is a young man who's always let his opinions be heard. He's stubborn, and often refuses to admit he was wrong until finally someone smacks some sense into him. He's arrogant, in the sense that he exudes an air of confidence, and that he presents his ideas as if their the only ones that matter. He can't stand failing, and has a tendency to replay moments in his mind, attempting to find out the exact moment where he fucked up, and has a tendency to beat himself up over it. Despite all this, he truly is a good person who's willing to do anything for his friends, family, and the Griffins.

History

Charlie's life wasn't always one where he was a soldier in a rebellion. Once upon a time he lived with his mother in a mansion by the sea. But that was a long time ago. When he was 11 years old, he was woken up in the middle of the night by his mother shaking him awake. The smell of smoke invaded his nostrils, as his mother hurriedly packed their things, muttering about how her protection runes would keep the fire out of his room, but it wouldn't keep them out. At the time, he didn't know that "them" was the Empress' Army. Once his things were packed, his mother picked him up, stepped into his wardrobe, and they were gone. She'd placed a transportation rune inside the wardrobe, and it had dropped them in the middle of the woods.

Those woods were what would become the home of the Griffins, and his mother had been working with them, which was what led to their home being attacked. His mother was elected as one of the council members, and he was trained to be the very best. And he was. But no amount of training could've prepared him for Winter's Grasp. Winter's Grasp was the mansion of a high ranking in the Sorcerers' World Order, one that he and his team were sent to kidnap. But he had messed up, hadn't cleared the runes thoroughly enough, and he'd gotten his team killed. He was forced to return in disgrace, and hasn't been out in the field since, too afraid of failure.

The Griffin's Inssurection (A Modern Day Magic RP)

Awesome, glad to see so much interest spring up. The OOC is up now so you guys can head over and begin making some characters :)

The Griffin Insurrection

To whom it may concern, greetings and welcome to the Griffins. We are also known as the Rebellion, or in less polite circles, Those Fucking Anarchists. This letter is here to help you get situated, and informed about what is going on. And that starts with a history lesson. Don't worry, it's a fun one. So, as you may or may not have guessed from the evil sorceress who took over the world, magic is real. Now, our friendly neighborhood dictator would have you believe that she has granted those who deserve it, magic, and that she is a godsend, here to bless us in any way possible.

Well that's a load of horseshit. And let me tell you why. Since the beginning of time, magic has always been around. It's in the air, the tress, the water, even in you. Sorcerers are just the lucky people who are able to harness that magic. Now, long before all this, but just a little bit after the dinosaurs, sorcerers and normal humans coexisted. But, seeing as us humans are the literal scum of the earth, we drove the sorcerers away. This created a discord between the two groups, and as they evolved, they grew farther and farther apart, until the humans believed magic to be nothing but a fairy tale.

All that changed in the year 1922. That was when sorcerers were discovered. And that's when the world began to crumble. On January 1st, 1922, the sorcerers came out publicly to every government around the world. And they were greeted with open arms. Their powers helped advance technology at rapid speeds, and they helped to heal some of the worst ailments. But there were men and women out there who despised the sorcerers for their powers, angry that they didn't have their abilities.

None of this hatred was helped by the fact that sorcerers were becoming more and more common. By the year 1975, sorcerers made up almost 40% of the world's population. And if it's one thing humans don't like, it's being threatened. Worried that the, "good-old fashioned, normal folk" would soon become extinct, violence against sorcerers became much more common. Despite their powers, it was hard to defend against a surprise bullet to the face.

All this violence led to rifts between the "norms" and the sorcerers. And it's what led to where we are today. America was always a hub of sorcerer activity. A majority of America was in fact, sorcerers and as such, in 2000, Lucille Laurent was elected the first sorceress president of the United States. She'd pledged to end violence against sorcerers and to unite the people as one loving group of humans.

And unite them she did. By 2004, she'd enslaved the norms of America, and called for sorcerers all over the world to rise up against the humans and destroy them. And many did. By 2007, Lucille Laurent was now Empress Lucille Laurent of the Sorcerers' World Order. Yeah, it's pretentious I know. Humans were forced to work, and the sorcerers who didn't agree with that, were killed.

The humans who escaped enslavement and the sorcerers who went against Lucille soon found each other. Their common enemy turned them into allies, and they formed the Griffins, a name chosen for what it represented. The humans are the lion, angry but strong and stubborn. And the sorcerers are the eagle, granting the lion the wings and the talons it needs to defeat it's foes. It's beautiful I know.

So yeah, that brings us to 2016. The Griffins are hard at work trying to bring that bitch Lucille to her knees, but it's a hard war to fight. Luckily, we have you. Yeah, this is a generic letter, addressed to everyone, but everyone who joins the Griffins is important. A war isn't won without people. Remember that, and train hard.

Sincerely,
Jessica Lancaster

Sorcerers

There are six known types of sorcerers. Each type can utilize their magic in a specific way. There are elementalists, enchanters, technomancers, healers, druids and mentalists. A sorcerer that is one type can't utilize magic of another type, no matter how hard they try.

Elementalists can bind the elements to their will. They can control the four basic elements, but secondary elements like ice and lightning can only be manipulated by a master elementalist. Some elementalists are immune to the cold or fire, and masters can even walk on water. Elementalists are the most common sorcerers and they make up most of Lucille's army.

Enchanters use runes to use their magic. Enchanters can use their magic in a variety of ways. They can cast an explosive rune that acts as a land mine, or they could even enchant a gun so that it's bullets set the victim on fire. Enchanters are rather rare but many of them have been forced into working in weapon factories, and those who don't tend to make magical items that they sell for a hefty price.

Tecnomancers have a great control over technology and are responsible for the technological innovation that the world has since experienced. Many of them have control over weapons and machines, and are able to turn of the power in a building, or make a car drive by itself. Many Technomancers work for the Rebellion, hacking into the Sorcerer's World Order databases and gaining intel.

Healers are pretty self explanatory. Their magic can be used to heal physical injuries. Healers that are skilled enough work in hospitals or even as scientists, attempting to find cures to deadly diseases.

Mentalists are the most versatile of all the sorcerers. Their skills range from telekinesis and telepathy to seeing the future and mind control. While average mentalists are not as rare as Enchanters, a mentalist who has truly mastered their craft is a rarity and watching them work can be a sight to behold. Lucille employs a number of mentalists as interrogators, and they are renowned for their success rates.

Druids are a more shadowy type of sorcerer. Their skills toy with the laws of magic, bending so hard that they almost break. Druids can play with skeletons as if they are servants, raising them and using them as soldiers, or they can summon wisps that have incredible strength. They can even talk to animals, and many have familiars that follow them around. Some druids have a little bit of skill with healing, calling on the spirits to do such things.

History

So I'll try to keep this brief. Basically, back in prehistoric times, sorcerers and humans coexisted until the humans jealousy led to most of the sorcerers fleeing. Back then, magic wasn't as powerful and so they didn't stand a chance against the vast numbers of angry cavemen tribes. The sorcerers went into hiding until about the 1900's when the sorcerers decided to reveal themselves which went relatively well as they offered up their help in advancing technology. World leaders loved them because they helped advance the Industrial Revolution faster than they could have. But as the population of sorcerers grew, no longer fearing their discovery, resentment from the more bigoted groups grew as well. This resentment was what Lucille Laurent used as a platform to preach to those demanding justice, humans and sorcerers alike. Once she became president she began building a sorcerer army and slowly phasing humans into a life of servitude. Once the humans of America had finally realized what was happening, it was too late. She began taking control of the rest of the world and declared herself Empress. Now she rules from her newly built capital city of Decorum, which was built on the ruins of Washington D.C.

Technology

Most technology has been fused with magic in some way. Cars are powered by electricity runes, and lights are just simple lighting spells that any sorcerer can learn. Weaponry is the most advanced thing of this new age. Bullets have runes carved into them that can set their victim on fire or even freeze them solid. Some weapons are enchanted so that they only work if used by the owner. The police force commonly use a new form of taser gun which shoots electrified bullets and the military uses fully automatic weapons with explosive or incendiary runes carved into the bullets, depending on the job.

The Griffins

The Griffins are the biggest organized rebellion group in the world as of today. They were created once Lucille finally rose to power, but they haven't been able to do much damage. They're based in the Redwood Forest in California, in a village that is shrouded by some heavy magic. Their main focus has been trying to make contact with other resistance cells around the world but they haven't had a whole lot of luck uniting them. The Griffins are led by a four person council, two sorcerers and two humans, elected by the people. Any decisions they make must be unanimously ratified by the council, but they often ask the people for their advice before voting.

The Empress' Army

The Empress' Army is the current military of the Sorcerers' World Order. The Army is made up completely of sorcerers, mostly elementalists. The Army is completely subservient to the Empress, and she has been using them to fight the war with the Griffins. Serving in the Army is considered a noble task by many, and many individuals have risen to power through it.

The Sorcerers' World Order

The current government, the SWO encompasses every country on Earth. The head of the government is of course, Empress Lucille Laurent, but she is advised by her four generals, known to the Griffins as the Four Horsemen. The SWO does have a noble class, made up of families of powerful sorcerers who aided in Lucille's rise to power.

Non Magical Humans

Non Magical Humans, or Norms, are second class citizens in the SWO. Most work as servants for richer sorcerer families, or as fast food employees, or other low paying jobs. Norm neigborhoods are set aside in the less desirable parts of towns and Norms are not allowed to roam the town after midnight, by penalty of imprisonment. Norms are rarely given a real trial, often only mock trials are shown for the camera, but generally they are rushed through the justice system, and into the execution room.

Griffin's Keep

Griffin's Keep is the HQ of the Griffin's, and their biggest fortress in North America, or anywhere. Established around a large castle built by a wealthy and eccentric sorceress, the castle and it's surrounding town is home to roughly 500 men, women and children. The medical bay, council chambers, and other important rooms lie in the castle, while the farms and shops lie on the outside. The perimeter is constantly being patrolled and is protected by countless runes, among them which mask the area from Lucille's patrols.

Alright so, if you have any questions, ask me. Post your CS here in the OOC first for acceptance and then you can move it over to the Character tab once accepted.

Secrets - Closed

Still a WIP. Need to talk to Knight about Charlie moving in with Tara and then do the personality and bio but I should be done by tomorrow :)

Charlie Clark

Name
Charlie Clark

Birthday
January 14, 1995

Age
19
Appearance

6"00
165
Charlie has dark blue eyes and a tattoo on his left arm of a forked lighting bolt that begins at his wrist and just above his elbow.

Position
Cousin of Claire Evansworth and currently living with her and her family but looking for a better place for a long term stay.

Secret
Secrets secrets are no fun secrets are for everyone!

School
Charlie isn't currently in school.

Occupation
He's currently a photographer, which is one of the many reasons he came to Millington.

Personality
Charlie can be slightly oblivious at times, though it's mainly because his brain is constantly at work. While he's not technically a genius, he's close, and it shows in his skills with technology. While he's awkward socially, this often leads to people actually enjoying him. He can be rather blunt, but he's truly a kind soul. Outside of his love for all things powered by electricity, he's very creative, and loves to take photographs. While he does love the people he calls his friends, the only people he'll really put before himself is his family, and some call him selfish for it. He just calls it playing to win.
Short Bio
Charlie is the eldest of five children, so growing up he always had a lot of friends. From a young age he showed a love for a camera and if he was tapping away on the family computer, he was running around taking pictures. While he was always a decently behaved child growing up, he did commit his one real act of rebellion when he got a tattoo at the age of 18, after his mother forbade him to. Luckily for him, she quickly got over that, but not his decision to stay out of college and pursue his photography career. She and his father kicked him out, and so, a year later he decided to move to Millington, though there were some other reasons behind his relocation as well. Just none that he's currently willing to share.
