Fantasy ~Magicborne OOC and Bants~

[Castello]

Synder
Because Elizabeth and Adela are both dreamweavers for the main purpose of healing, I think they would have crossed paths at some point and bonded over their shared abilities. Also, I think it would make sense for Xander and Elizabeth to have brought their ill father to the herbal shop run by Adela's mother at some point for some herbal remedies. Adela helps out at this herbal shop by using her Sognial magic to create warm, happy illusions to aide mental pain as well as offer a peaceful sleep, so perhaps this is where she first met the twins?

Also, after Adela finds out that Elizabeth and Xander are from Meridania, she would be very intrigued to hear about their travels and stories, which could further their relationships. This would probably be a refreshing change of attitude for the twins, being from Meridania and all.

Castello
For some reason, I can see Adela and Ricky became very close friends honestly. I think their personalities have just the right amount of differences and similarities. She would be quite fond of his optimism and be able to discern his modesty and kindness. They both have this urge to be there for others, as they are often the first people to console someone who is upset. Whereas Ricky is hotheaded, impulsive, and a poor reader, Adela is more soft-spoken, observant, and enjoys reading. Likewise, whereas Adela cracks under pressure and may lash out in stressful situations, Ricky stays calm and fearless. So I think their strengths and weaknesses complement each other well. Also, neither of them use their magic for combative or harmful purposes. His heavy dependence on charms would also make it Adela's life mission to convince him that he can still be his same old confident self without them.

I know you said that parents may view Ricky as a little off and traditional kids would shun him, but Adela is naturally drawn to those who are different. Perhaps they were each other's first friends and grew up throughout their childhood together? Although I do think Adela's mother would be completely okay with her becoming friends with Ricky, Adela's father may have some qualms. Anyway, let me know what you think b/c we could totally go a different route as well!

MrBossMan
Hmm I can't really see Adela and Lukas becoming very close, but because they both grew up in Bordissa together, they would at least be acquaintances and friendly with each other. She would definitely be one of the villagers who knew Lukas well enough before he joined the army to recognize the drastic changes in his personality when he returned. Would he come to the herbal shop that Adela's mother owns to deal with his post-war mental/emotional pain? Adela helps out here with her dreamweaver abilities, so perhaps they reconnected that way after the war

Semblance
I think that'd work out pretty well. They both struggle with some internal conflicts so they have a basis to relate to each other. She would probably be an important friend growing up because she could begin to understand why he acts to weirdly and why he is obsessed with his charms and routines.

Looking at your twin, I think Ricky would be the type of person who would piss Augustine off. They might have a little rivalry, but it would always be Ricky being one step behind. I can see their conflicts resorting in physical fights when Ricky is unable to intellectually keep up. However, there might be the slightest bit of respect coming from Ricky's side (can't say anything for Augustine) if only for his relation to Adela.

 

[MrBossMan]

Before I start writing out my relationship ideas with your guy's characters. Let me just say this: Lukas before he left was a very happy go lucky kid. Or something along those lines. So perhaps since Bordissa is just a small town some of your characters were actually friends with him. Or knew him well enough to know that he was a good guy once. Or at the very least he was a different guy.



Castello

I feel like Lukas will not like Ricky all to well. Ricky's happy go lucky nature will probably make Lukas dislike him from afar. Ricky seems like a decent person though and Luke will respect that, however he won't like it. Maybe its because Ricky seems to be what Lukas was before he left. Kinda like Rick's a reminder of everything Lukas had but lost while he was away. Also Rick is always looking for a joke, even in situations that deem serious. This will probably make Lukas openly criticize Ricky and demand a more serious attitude. Of course this could lead to problems.

Also may I add Ricky's optimism against Lukas's pessimism shall fight wars lol!

However, hopefully by the end of the story they're relationship can turn full circle and they can maybe even learn or understand each other. Maybe even become friends.

Synder

Honestly pal I'm not quite sure what they're relationship would look like. I'll leave it up to you to start the ideas cause I'm drawing blanks right now. I'm down for damn near anything tho.

SilverFlight

I think Lukas will actually quite like Thalia although I don't see him admitting it. She seems to speak her mind and not dance around the bushes. A quality Lukas would find admirable. She knows how to make tough calls even though she can come across heartless. She's willing to sacrifice how others view her to do the right thing. Again, he'll respect that. Also her humor, which is dark, he wouldn't care for I don't think. However humor in and of itself he has no time for.

The big thing though is her past, which she won't talk about. Lukas would understand this attitude and it could be a big deal for him. To know he's not alone with his doubts and fears. Just to know someone else out there is hurting, same as him, and they don't want to talk about it either.

SkyGinge

You say it in your personality of Ambrose "to the newcomer Ambrose comes across as an energetic, easygoing, reckless buffoon." Well if Lukas sees this in a person he probably won't want to get to know them better. He will admire the qualities, but he'll hate them. Thus he will dislike him from afar unable to confront the man unless Lukas is driven to a point were he needs to say something.

However it'd be interesting for Lukas to see the inside of Ambrose. A man riddled with insecurities and fear, a man Lukas can semi relate to. If a moment like this were to happen; for instance Lukas heals him, thus bringing them closer to get to know each other. Maybe they could help rid each other of the negative aspects of their personal lives.

Semblance

Yes I agree with your previous comments.

Adela and Lukas probably wouldn't like each other to much. However I do like the idea of them being friends before Lukas left. Or at least they knew each other and like you said, Adela can see the changes in him. I think that'd add for an interesting dynamic later in the roleplay.

Also I don't think Lukas would come to the herbal shop for help. As he's to stubborn to admit he needs it. However I would like to know what you think of perhaps planning a scene we could possibly play out later in the roleplay.

A situation were Lukas comes to Adela and finally asks for help. He simply ask her to take away his nightmares. Let him dream peacefully while he sleeps. Since she's a Dreamweaver it'd be cool for that to happen. We could also add to it where perhaps Lukas saved her life (healed her somehow) and he ask her to do that in return. Kinda like payment.

Just an idea I had.

 

[MrBossMan]

Totally forgot about the twin, I shall do her relationships later tomorrow.

I do think Larissa will be a lot more....friendlier to people though.

 

[SilverFlight]

Semblance Alexis would definitely get along well with Adela, and Thalia, not wanting to jeopardize her brother's position or friendships would be on her best behaviour interacting with Adela's family. Adela will likely then only see the side of Thalia that she would get along with.

She would not have stopped thieving, though she would generally make sure to be discrete and keep a very low profile. It could be that Augustine is onto a 'new thief in Bordissa' but not have any solid proof as to who it might be, though he could suspect Thali. Thalia will think the whole thing great fun and likely be quite pleasant to Augustine.

MrBossMan
As long as Lukas doesn't mind being called things like 'broody beard' I'm sure they'll get along. Thalia will tease him to try and get him to lighten up. The catch is how they would have met. Thalia and Alexis have been in the town for about 3 weeks and Thalia doesn't make friends easy. It could be that perhaps Lukas heard about her 'talents' and employed Thali to procure some of his old documents from the town hall, effectively erasing his records of being a healer. Because he is a healer, and Thali will understand exactly why Lukas deserted she will be very willing to help hide him.

 

[Semblance]

Don't worry too much about twin relationships guys! You should focus on relations betwen main characters

 

[Volfy]

Got my character up!

Will hold off on looking at potential relationships till my CS gets reviewed.

 

[The Suspicious Eye]

I should have my CS up by the end of today I know it's not a quick turn around, but I've been trying to find a apartment so I'm not homeless in the next month, plus work.

Hopefully I won't give SkyGinge too much of a hassle with my application.

I could definitely see a relationship with the twins and Adela! Due to Xander's constant busywork, he'd likely only know her as a common face with the occasional wave and small-talk whenever seen nearby. Since Elizabeth would be handling most of the actual health problems where she could with their father, it's possible that her and Adela would be friends of some sort due to their shared trait and line of work, as well as the herbal medicine bought from her mother's shop.

While she wouldn't have all too many stories to share of traveling due to her fairly quiet life, I'd imagine that Elizabeth would definitely pass on a few tales told by Xander such as occasional notes about treasure-hunting in younger years and some of his horseback trips, spotting a lake or some small-scale ruins.

Synder

Honestly pal I'm not quite sure what they're relationship would look like. I'll leave it up to you to start the ideas cause I'm drawing blanks right now. I'm down for damn near anything tho.

I'd imagine Xander would have heard of Lukas' commotion in town when he'd healed his sister. Likely nothing more than a memory of the name due to his time away assisting with the war. though! He'd definitely have a mix of both empathy and distrust due to Lukas' time assisting in the war against Meridania, though yeah, not all too much else aside from that!

 

[MrBossMan]

Synder

Sounds good to me!

 

[SkyGinge]

Announcement!So, in order to combat mine and Semblance's own business over the next few days, and in order to allow the many people still in the process of completing characters/relationships, we've decided to start the RP on Monday 19th instead as we believe it'd be in the best interest for the RP! I'm absolutely rekd right now but will give a good look to the newly posted characters and respond to discussion stuff in the morning! In the mean time, I'll be making a post either tomorrow or Saturday going into more detail about the first chapter and what we'll be doing in it!

 

[MrBossMan]

Don't stress, take your time. That's better than going in half cocked.

 

[The Suspicious Eye]

SkyGinge Semblance I've posted my application. Feel free to tell me any changes needed. I'm open to changing whatever needs to be adjusted.

Yeah agreed! I can see them naturally gravitating towards each other as kids. Alright I'll add him as a close friend to my character sheet

As for Augustine, because he's so protective of Adela, he'll naturally be very skeptical of Ricky at first, resulting in physical fights as kids. But once he realizes that Adela is becoming truly good friends with Ricky, Augustine will back off and try to at least be cordial

I dig this idea!! Adela would love to help in any way possible due to how happy of a guy Lukas was before the war, and it would make her sad to see him become such a pessimistic, sorrowful soul. But after he finally goes to her for help and opens up to her, I can see them becoming closer. For now, I'll just put him down as acquaintances

Semblance Alexis would definitely get along well with Adela, and Thalia, not wanting to jeopardize her brother's position or friendships would be on her best behaviour interacting with Adela's family. Adela will likely then only see the side of Thalia that she would get along with.

She would not have stopped thieving, though she would generally make sure to be discrete and keep a very low profile. It could be that Augustine is onto a 'new thief in Bordissa' but not have any solid proof as to who it might be, though he could suspect Thali. Thalia will think the whole thing great fun and likely be quite pleasant to Augustine.

Got it! Adela would probably know that Thalia has that other feisty side of her, but would appreciate her efforts with Adela. I'll put Thalia down as a friendly acquaintance then

I could definitely see a relationship with the twins and Adela! Due to Xander's constant busywork, he'd likely only know her as a common face with the occasional wave and small-talk whenever seen nearby. Since Elizabeth would be handling most of the actual health problems where she could with their father, it's possible that her and Adela would be friends of some sort due to their shared trait and line of work, as well as the herbal medicine bought from her mother's shop.

I agree! Especially since Elizabeth and Adela would probably spend quite some time together, she would see Xander a lot and be pretty familiar with him. Although, I think Elizabeth's logical nature would prevent them from becoming very close. Regardless, I'll put Xander down as a friendly acquaintance

SkyGinge Semblance I've posted my application. Feel free to tell me any changes needed. I'm open to changing whatever needs to be adjusted.

Sounds good! You'll receive a PM from Ginge soon

 

[Vacuum]

Hey, just posted my second application. Hoping this one is a better fit than the last, haha. I messed up the table a bit and couldn't figure out how to fix it by tinkering, but it is still entirely readable.

 

[Semblance]

Also just letting you guys know that I'm going to be out of town this weekend (going to firefly music festival for all my Americans out there!!), but I'll be back Sunday evening

 

[Volfy]

Brief Introduction: Hey there. Obligatory greeting and all that. I'm Volfy. Currently a student, not far from wrapping up for summer(Can't come quick enough). I work in a bar, but mostly mooch around on here on my phone when not serving. Terribly exciting, I know. Big fan of fantasy. Can enjoy the more saccharine type setting, but I honestly prefer a more 'realistic' one. That being said, I'd be a dirty liar if I didn't admit I love some of more fantastical elements of the genre.

Brief RP Experience: Started some years ago now. Can't recall my first RP, but I'm almost entirely sure it was terrible. Or, the writing in it was. Been on RPN for almost two years now and take fairly regular breaks as I have to balance writing with, well, everything else. View this as a way to improve my writing, as well as develop some pretty cool stories.

Ideal Sandwich: Pulled pork, raw onion slices, cheese. Done.

Country and Timezone: UK- BST(GMT+1)

 

[Fenn]

I finally have the opportunity and energy to start writing a character! I don't know if I'll finish before the 19th, but I'll do my most bestiest. Have been spending the last few days nursing the concept and now to write it.

 

[Volfy]

Read through most of the other character's and here are my thoughts. All these are just my vague readings of each persona, and not set in stone.

Acquaintances

Riccardo Avellini- Castello Put bluntly, Rohis would find him as about appealing as getting hit by a hammer. His eccentric optimism would grate, and get tiresome for her quickly. I think they would have gotten on better when younger perhaps? Rohis is not of a traditional family, and I believe you stated the more 'open' among the village members might have a better relationship with him. So something there maybe. In present times however, I don't see them being close. With Rohis's twin, Fiore, I see more potential. They both use Ventant magic, and she'd find his bubbly personality amusing, and have a more gentle touch due to his apparent nativity. She might have provided some of his many charms?

Xander In'ishba- Synder Difficult to say, as Xander hasn't been in the town all that long. I think his occupation may have drawn Rohis's interest, but with her own training, she wouldn't have sought him out. I can't see any real connection beyond their joint learning in weilding a sword, and I don't think Fiore has any great connection either. Maybe seeing him as 'Mr tall, dark and handsome' , but nothing substantial.

Thalia Whiles- SilverFlight Same sort of boat as Xander. Due to her and Alexis only recently having returned, it's hard to say that'd they'd have any real relationship. Since they left when they were so young as well, there'd be no real recognition. Will have to see how they get along as time proceeds.

Ambrose Culpesso- SkyGinge Ambrose is an interesting one. His constant jesting, extroverted and energetic personality would probably driven Rohis to slam her head into a wall. This would act as a barrier for her ever getting to know him better, since she'd really struggle to get over just how out-there he is. She'd secretly admire his ability with music, but would keep it to herself. Jump back a fair few years, I think they'd get on better. In fact, I think they might have been pretty close. With Ambrose's mother acting as a nanny to many of the children, I think both the twins would have gotten on quite well with him, as well as their joint appreciation for Cordelius. Currently, I'd say Rohis would be polite enough if she spots him about, and still maintains her respect for his skill with music, but doesn't interact much more.

Lukas Kydale- MrBossMan Hmm, Lukas is difficult. Personally, I think Rohis would have been pretty close to 'pre-war' him, judging just by the "proud, dignified, rebellious" description. Their fathers are of the same trade, perhaps hunted together? Since he's changed so much, it is hard to say how close they would have been, but I can see anything from friendly acquaintances to being rather close. I'll leave it to you to decide. Currently, again, tricky to say, as it depends on how close they were before, but I can say regardless, she'd find his new self disturbing. To see him go under such a change would be off putting.

Adela Rylan- Semblance I think Rohis would be suspicious of how kind Adela is. However, she'd like how Adela is more reserved than most, and as well as how interdependent she is. I think she'd see her every now and then, be it around town, or Rohis seeking a quick remedy for any minor injuries sustained while hunting. Rohis would see her in a positive light, and like many of the others, would likely have had a stronger bond in youth.

 

[ShadyAce]

I know I haven't quite finished my characters, I need to finish Eva's inventory & skills, interests and fears sections. But I thought I should at least put up what I have and finish it off tomorrow.
And to be honest, I wouldn't be all that surprised if I'm not accepted! Wouldn't call myself up to par with any of you :p

Rohis would see her in a positive light, and like many of the others, would likely have had a stronger bond in youth.

I agree with this completely, I think Ricky would show a great level of value for Fiore as a friend since she would supply a lot of his charms. It could even lead Ricky to having mixed feelings about her ; ). However, Rohis would probably be someone Ricky would avoid, as it wouldn't pose much joy for him to even mess with her, plus it might be a little awkward for him since they were friends when they were little. She is kind of the opposite of Ricky, but not in a complimenting manor.

~Announcement Post~​

Crazy busy life is crazy busy! I've been done with uni work for about a month and have been packing my time with seeing friends and folks I'd been rubbish at keeping up with over exam period, and on top of that also participated (and got rekd) at a smash bros tournament and have been doing various things with church and the Christian Union! This week is gonna be less hectic though and I'm ready and hyped to begin the RP at last!

This post is gonna have a ton of different sections as I try to reply to various different things, so bare with...

Character Relations Stuff:​

Castello : Sounds like we have the potential for a very complex relationship then - given Ricky'd have gathered that reputation over time and the young Ambrose likely would've just played with everybody else wild and free before he became more in the know about his Assemblant stuff, I'm wondering if potentially they're friends from childhood, but with all these complex feelings going on behind it (envy, a bit of concern on Ambrose's side over Ricky's reputation) it'll be interesting to see this playful having-a-good-time kinda link where actually there's all sorts of worried behind what appears to be bombastic fun on either side!

Yess I can totally see how that healing event would have put a large strain on their relationship immediately afterwards. I think it makes sense for Ambrose to have been the one to break up with Adela, since it's his sister that was jeopardized in that situation. Also, I can definitely see why Adela would be attracted to Ambrose in the first place, as he has quite a complex personality, and she wouldn't be able to help but try to figure him out.

Thus, when he breaks up with her, although the reason that he gives her would probably be his sister/the healing event, Adela would still be rather confused because she knows there's more to it. On one hand, she would be understanding b/c she knows how much Ambrose loves and protects his sister. But on the other hand, she'll be rather bitter/upset about it b/c she thought that they would be able to work through this together, but Ambrose cut things off instead. Depending on how the actual breakup went, she may have said a couple hurtful things in the moment that she didn't truly mean. So yes, I believe things would still be bitter as well as awkward and cordial at the beginning of the RP.

Also, given how emotional Adela is, she would have taken the breakup quite hard I think. She likely would have cut him out of her life immediately following the breakup in order to get over him (not sure how Ambrose would react to this), but after a few months to lick her wounds, she could probably be at least acquaintances again

How long should they have dated for and how recent should the breakup have been? Maybe dated for 1-2 years and broke up a few months ago? Something along those lines!

If Ambrose discovered that she liked him because of trying to figure him out, that'd probably put a strain on things too! I can't imagine him handling a break-up in a particularly respectful way - it was probably all awkwardly torturous avoidance until he was eventually cornered and forced to announce a break up. He's then find her difficulty with it guilt-inducing, and it'd probably contribute to his general aimlessly and drifting come the start of the RP. As for the break-up, it depends on when the incident with her dad happened - I'd say the dating (or probably 'courting' technically in this world!) timespan sounds about right, but I was thinking they'd have been broken up for longer than that, perhaps like a year.

And for both you and Castello - Ricky's closeness with Adela too could definitely lead to a bit of a juicy love/jealousy/confused feelings triangle!

MrBossMan : I agree entirely! If Lukas was fairly happy-go-lucky before he'd almost certainly have gotten on with the similar-minded Ambrose, but returning a different man and seeing Ambrose not grown up would definitely wind him up as you say. I'm looking forward to him seeing that inevitable show of weakness too!

Volfy : I agree entirely

Vacuum : Welcome to the team! Given Jude'll be incredibly new to the town, I don't reckon people will have formed an opinion of him, apart from general weariness from his brother's deceptions...

The Start of the RP!​

Tomorrow, as rescheduled, the RP will begin properly! I'll be making a post with something of a prologue to the chapter with some NPCs, and then I'll be launching in with my characters in a standard post. So make sure you've read up on Cornelius Fugal in the NPC section as he'll be a prominent figure! In the mean time, here's some chapter summary. Each chapter will be split into minor objectives, which are mini goals intended to help spur us on towards the major objective of each chapter. You'll notice most of the minor objectives are currently ???'d - they'll be revealed as we move on! Some chapters will be more linear than others, such as chapters one and three; others will allow and encourage your own implementation of plot events and creativity, such as chapters two, four and five! But enough with the technical rambling - here's the chapter details for our beginning...

CHAPTER ONE: Night TerrorsMain Objective: Play-out the dramatic circumstances of the twins' capture! Minor Objectives: Introduce characters; ???; ??? It has been a warm summer's day in the backwater village of Bordissa. For some, Bordissa has been their lifelong home - for others, they have only recently arrived, or will arrive as the RP starts. It is six o'clock, and for most the day's work is done, and the towns youngsters begin to gradually congregate around the town square, or perhaps in the local tavern, The Lost Badger, or perhaps somewhere else of your choosing! The plan is we spend a few posts introducing the characters, playing around with both twins briefly and showing a bit of normal life. Then we'll send our character back to their homes, with the possibility of either writing out what happens over dinner, or simply timeskipping and sending them straight to bed. From here, the fateful events that kickstart our tale shall begin to unravel...

So in the mean time, if you're up for it, you can begin writing a post maneuvering your character into position somewhere in town, set up to allow somebody else to post and start up an interaction. Just don't post until I've made the opening post!

Random Stuff/Chasing Up​

Volfy A fellow Brit, a timezone fwend! Fwend! FWEND!

There's a couple of you who have expressed interest or have told me you're in the process of making forms - ChimpMan , Shireling , Oenanthe - a couple I know are definitely working on stuff - Fenn , FTR - and a couple have stuff waiting for me to look at - ShadyAce The Suspicious Eye . The RP will remain open throughout the first chapter as it should be quite easy to just jump in, but after that we'll be closing or at least changing up how we handle new applications. For Shady and Eye, it's already midnight here and I was supposed to be getting an early night so I'll have to look at your stuffs tomorrow morning (but ShadyAce don't downtalk yourself as at a glance what you've done so far looks superb!)

On another note, as of this week I'll be sticking to my intended discipline plans. This means, barring tomorrow, I should only be on site for a maximum of two hours per day, as I want to maintain regular life and other stuff as well. I should be a bit better at replying to stuff, but you'll have to bare with some times if waiting for a response. Semblance should be around and handy

Thanks for creating such a colourful cast so far, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how this story plays out!

Xander In'ishba- Synder Difficult to say, as Xander hasn't been in the town all that long. I think his occupation may have drawn Rohis's interest, but with her own training, she wouldn't have sought him out. I can't see any real connection beyond their joint learning in weilding a sword, and I don't think Fiore has any great connection either. Maybe seeing him as 'Mr tall, dark and handsome' , but nothing substantial.

Sounds good to me! Xander doesn't often go out of his way to introduce himself unless something sparks his own curiosity, usually in the form of knowledge or forging materials and that sort of stuff, so it's likely he wouldn't have interacted much with either Rohis or Fiore.

Hey! I was just told to throw this thing down here, so this is my introduction form. I am the player of the Shackleford twins, I hope our characters all get along well enough.
I really enjoy roleplay in it's various forms, but the form I have the most practice in are tabletop roleplaying games. Mostly Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, and FATE. I have been on this site for 3 years or so now playing on and off. I love trying new things and a detailed RP with slight combat rules sounded like a fun new experince, so here I am. If you have any pointers for me, just let me know.
As for my ideal sandwich, grilled cheese is probably my favorite sandwich, although I have eaten peanut butter and honey sandwiches 5 days a week for lunch for the past 15 years or so, and they have taken up a special place in my heart as well.

Semblance Can I start off my characters with Adela?

Last minute ideas! (Sorry for the absence these past few days, been busy.)

Let's make things interesting and say Lukas and Rohis were close before Lukas went away. That is if your still down for that. We could even say she was one of the few in Bordissa that knew he was a Santigion. Friends and all that good stuff. I think that could add a cool little dynamic for them. Kinda like "oh my friends my friend no longer." Totally your call.

Semblance

I just had an idea, shoot it down or not it's up to you. I was thinking perhaps when Adela's father lost his hands Lukas was there to help. He could have been the one Santigion who healed him. Totally your call, just an idea I had, I promise I won't be hurt if the answers no. I just thought this would kinda ground Lukas a bit more into Bordissa. Again, just another rambling thought in my ever wandering mind.

I definitely would want for Lukas to find out about Celia being a Santigion! I think that'd be great for a little story. I don't think Lukas would harbor any ill will toward her at all. In some ways I think he'd be relieved that she didn't go through what he did. Lukas may be a bitter man but he wants good things for those who deserve them. Celia never harmed him and oddly enough I think he could connect with someone much better if they practice healing magic too.

However now that the sunshine and rainbows are over and done with. He may be a bit bitter. (Contradictory I know) but I feel like he'll come to terms with it and be glad he wasn't the only kid in Bordissa to be selfless.
