Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;

______________
As a people, witches have two abilities that separate them from normal humans: 1. They have the ability to learn and practice various types of magic. 2. They are born with one or two abilities, allowing them to do things no normal human can. Because of this, witches have been feared and prosecuted throughout almost all of histoy. During the Salem witch trials, the real witches were smart enough not to get caught. They continued to move further and further South, eventually making their way to New Orleans. The wiccan witches there met with the priestesses of voodoo, and some of their practices began to overlap. As more people began to become suspicious of the practitioners, some of the witches (mostly wiccan descendants from Salem) split off to form a coven based on repressing powers.
______________
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,

______________
A council was created, laws put in place, and an academy created to help young witches control their powers. As time went on, some witches created separate academies that focus on honing these powers, creating a society of their own that mostly lives in secret.
______________
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;

______________

However, another group became dissatisfied with the council's ruling, abandoning the laws all together and moving to the bayou, creating a coven of their own in the dark swamps. The witches that didn't join the original societies, mostly practitioners of voodoo, continued to live among society and use their magic.

______________
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

______________
As the generations go by, things stay the same. Witches are born into covens, or their powers are discovered by a coven, and the witch is recruited. As tensions between these covens rise and fall, the balance of power in this supernatural world continues to shift. One determining factor is the Supreme: a witch who possesses multiple talents and, with proper training, can manifest a near-infinite number. With the rising generation, it's uncertain where this supreme will appear, and how her presence will change the covens.
_________________________________________________________________________________________

Welcome to our roleplay! For anyone confused: this is a modern-fantasy roleplay about witches and witch covens, inspired mainly by the third season of American Horror Story (i't's totally fine if you haven't seen it!). In this roleplay, you can create a character from any coven, as a part of any generation. Please feel free to also create a character who's not a witch! Just as a note: this roleplay will be dark. It will likely have mature themes (such as swearing, violence, themes of dark magic, etc.)

A few things to know:
Covens: You can join any coven you like! Just try to keep the numbers balanced, please.
Talents: Each witch will have one individual talent. Please don't have the same as someone else's. If you want to be the supreme, PM me!
Familiars: A familiar doesn't necessarily have to be an animal! It can be a prized possession, a piece of clothing, or even a loved one.

Ideal Fuel:
+ Pyrokinesis
+ Levitation
+ Telekinesis
+ Resurgence (raising the dead)
+ Astral Projection

+ Tarot Card Reading
+ Seances
+ Potion Brewing
+ Alchemy

This sounds kinda neat. I think i'm kinda interested. :darkwizardhat:

Can witches be both guys and girls?
How old or young can the witches be?
What actually are familiars or what're they for?

Warlocks are allowed
Their age depends the coven that they’re apart of.
And if a familiar is something or someone dear to them. It’s a anchor in a way as well. Those with living things as familiars can communicate with them telepathically, the familiar would know if they are in danger, ect.

can't fimiliars also help with casting spells? I thought I read or maybe saw that somewhere.
 
What's the role of inanimate familiars? The ideas of peices of clothing or such.

Other than being an anchor I guess?

Well they can help them center their magic, not in a sense of helping increase magical ability but more like helping them concentrate more.

Yeah you were right animegirl20 animegirl20 . I thought you meant it as helping them gain more power.

Can object familiars change over time? Or can they be eventually replaced? I'm thinking like for a younger witch or warlock with the idea of clothing or something like that, which could kinda make this as a problem?
Is it really bad if a familiar is lost, damaged, killed, ect?

No a familiar can’t be changed or replaced. With living familars, think of it as losing a loved one. They’ll have an empty feeling within them but they would still be able to go on with their lives. If they lose their familiar it would be difficult for them to do harder magic and it’d be harder to concentrate when doing magic in general.
 
Is this making sense to you? Like I said above the idea is from someone else, I’m just bringing it back XD. If it’s took confusing let me know and we could work something out. Dawnstar Dawnstar

Yeah it's making sense now thank you. I think I want to try and make a younger witch or warlock at the Council's boarding schools. I think.
Its not original but I kinda like the idea of Pyrokenetics maybe?

Sounds good to me. I’ll have the cs up later on! :)
 
I may be interested, but I have a few questions. How often are you looking for people to post, and what are the length requirements for each post? (I prefer instead of using paragraphs to describe it, saying like 500 words or, yada yada. Paragraphs can range greatly in size and words are much more solid of an indication.)

I’d prefer if you guys could post one or twice a day. I understand that people are busy so a quick heads up to let me know if you’re gonna be away would be appreciated. A paragraph would be ideal actually and no one liners.
 
This cs is up! A <3 means that you’ve been accepted and rl pictures only. :)
 
Oh, once or twice a day is a bit too often for me, especially in group RPs where a lot of people are posting often. Replies get buried, and I don't have much time to do such a thing. Sorry!

No worries! I appreciate your honesty
 
Just wanna say i'm still in!
My character idea is nearly done, I should be able to post 'em after school today!
