For everyone - once I get the RP up we'll have a character sheet and guidelines for you. And just FYI, for anyone in the family, they have red hair or dirty blonde hair traits (we could probably go full blonde/light brown too). Eyes are either green or blue. Hopefully that helps a bit if you're picture searching. I'm doing the same now. :]
@Lovely Complex I love them! I'm going to start working on my characters soon. Hoping we can get a little more interest before I put up the actual RP. :]

Welcome to Millington, a town that appears humble on the surface, yet hides layers of secrets beneath it.
Millington is located on the west side of the United States, a couple hours or so away from any major cities. Mostly untouched, the town still retains much of it’s natural beauty and has become a destination for camping vacations. The town is known for it's large surrounding forest and it's historical silver mines within the nearby mountains, which tourists often make pit stops to tour through. While the people may not be as breathtaking, Millington hides it well.
Until now, Millington believed itself to be a quiet and safe town. Unfortunately for the Reese family, their father, the last remaining parent, and youngest child, only two years old, have gone missing.
Our story begins here, with a large family of nine unexpectedly being reduced to six. Who, much like the rest of the population in Millington, has many secrets of their own. Each member of the family afraid to tell another person, fearing judgement or worse; allowing their life to come crashing down. Now, the eldest siblings must try to pick up the pieces despite their own personal issues. Trying to keep the family from falling apart would prove more difficult than it looked.
After the interest check there will be more information & positions available, but the ones currently shown are most needed for now. If you have a different idea for a character role, feel free to suggest it!
Best Friend: (You may play the role of any character’s best friend once cleared with the user.)
Boyfriend/Girlfriend: (You may also play the role of any character's significant other once cleared with the user.)
Only two characters at a time may have any one secret. If it is crossed out, that secret is completely taken.
Each character may only have one secret at a time. When that secret is resolved, you may pick a new one. Your character may be involved with multiple of these if you wish, but it must not be a secret. Example: A homosexual who does not hide their sexuality, but has a different hidden secret. If you feel that your characters story must have another secret accompany it, feel free to discuss with me. I will allow it if I feel that it fits. This should be a rare occasion, don't take advantage. We do this so that we don't have 5 characters all being alcoholics, etc. Keep it interesting.
Do not give away your secret - only PM it to @The Muse as stated in the Rules - we'd like to keep it as a sort of guessing game to find out who has what secret. It is up to you whether or not your character shares their secret with other characters as it progresses. Some secrets will be more obvious than others to the reader, but not IC.

@Keeper of Lore Understandable, I made it so that she isn't prolific in magic since you do already have a heavy magic user. Mostly, I was trying to explain why her picture has those golden light designs showing up on her skin/arrows and tying it into her story Haha
I was thinking she would have been taught some magic in her mercenary schooling, but never enjoyed the drain it took on her and she was never able to pick it up as easily as she did with other things. She only really would use it in a big fight, typically using it as a means to give her arrows extra damage or draining/absorbing a minor amount of magic from others who might be using it. She doesn't have good control over it, though, so she rarely ever uses the magic since that could obviously go wrong quickly and drains more energy out of her than she can handle. It's like a last ditch effort.
If you would rather I dont have her use magic at all that's no problem with me either, it's not a giant part of her character. :]
@Spiffy Yaaayy! Thank you :] I had an idea that she could be on the boat travelling somewhere as well if that works too (mercenary work can be flexible), but I'm also cool with waiting until you guys feel that Nylah should pop in. Whatever works best. And I definitely will read that! I had already started some of it before applying Haha
