Fantasy Royal Witches, aka Mighty Magical Matriarchs vs Sinister Septic Savages

[welian]

What are the rules for these ones? Like, can they spread an infection? Are they dried out? Are they smart or fast zombies?

So, even though I use the word zombie, we are not dealing with undead. Or rather, we're not dealing with people rising from the grave. Once someone is dead, they're pretty solidly dead. There's no healing magic in this setting and by extension, there's no extreme healing, aka necromancy. The dead stay dead.

What we ARE dealing with though, is sort of a... supernaturally flavored bubonic plague. It begins with the monsters that live in the Abyss, which is a giant canyon in what used to be the western seafloor (the sea fell into the Abyss). No one knows for sure what these monsters look like, because no one has lived to tell the tale. But the monsters leave behind a trail of toxic muck. This muck poisons plants and infects animals, and that's how it spreads. Were that everything, it wouldn't be too big of a deal - enough distance, and whatever, you're safe.

Then there's the part about the infection nibbling away at your life force and even taking away your magic, but that's not important right now. Just worry about the rotting, oozing body parts.

Also to add to the mix, what senses of theirs function? Are any heightened?

Mana smells yummy to them.

why isn't one sheep a shoop?

Word is not playing nice with Discord when it comes to pasting text. Anyways, have some lore.

"Traditionally, when a girl has her First Blood, her whole family celebrates with a large party. During or shortly after the party, there is a small ceremony in which an offering is given to the goddess of the new witch’s color. This offering varies from region to region and family to family, but usually is some sort of food. In many families, the offering is something that the new witch and her father prepared together."

0-0 'First blood' …. :3

Edit: And I'm of the female to your latter question~ XD

[Semblance]

This looks absolutely AMAZING. I'm already a huge sucker for fantasy / magic RP's, but a monster-filled world ruled by a badass matriarchy? Sign me the f up!

I'm already starting to think about my character... although I can't decide between cherry and blueberry. Both are quite scrumptious

 

[general ostruppen]

Lavan Family: The current reigning family of Arcana, a family of white witches.They took power about two hundred years ago, after of a cataclysmic catastrophe and the invasion of the Blight. They united the remaining regions of the land into a more centralized government. In a time of darkness, they brought light back to the world.

Zariad Family: Prior to the Lavans, Arcana was ruled by the Zariads, a family of red witches and wardens who were renowned for their legendary wealth - and trading skills. However, neither gold coins or silvers tongues could save the Archeluta Isles from being obliterated by the Abyss.

Archeluta Isles: Once upon a time, there were seven islands in a sea to the west of Arcana. Each island held a magnificent library, the pride and joy of blue witch society. Each library was run by a blue Grand Matriarch, the highest title for a witch. Collectively, the seven were known as the Deep. Thanks to the deep pockets of the Zariads, they discovered the origins of the Blight, a festering plague. Now the Isles, and the Deep, are no more. Their vast repository of magical knowledge has been lost to the Abyss.

The Abyss: A gaping wound in the land itself, in what used to be the Archeluta Isles. From here, the Blight oozes like a foul green pus, pungent with the searing scent of rotted flesh and clotted blood. Ever since the Abyss was torn open over a hundred years ago, the Blight has slowly spread toward the eastern coast.

Thought you guys might want to get started on mini-profiles. You'll need approximately 40 to 50 words on your character. The bbcode will cut off any text that's too long. These blurbs will go on the profile thread, and the images will be linked to create something akin to a table of contents.

Amelanch Lavan

Queen Amelanch Lavan has ruled over Arcana for twenty years now, ever since the double homicide of her mother Rhodesia and her older sister Cydonia. For a white witch, she has very few friends – and even fewer that she trusts. The queen is notoriously strong-willed. She never apologizes, you see, because she never makes mistakes.

 

[welian]

While I'm working on the character thread, I'm going to be posting blurbs here as I complete them. That way, you all can get an idea of how much or how little to write for this first part.

Amelanch Lavan

Queen Amelanch Lavan has ruled over Arcana for twenty years now, ever since the double homicide of her mother Rhodesia and her older sister Cydonia. For a white witch, she has very few friends – and even fewer that she trusts. The queen is notoriously strong-willed. She never apologizes, you see, because she never makes mistakes.

Balasar Hagermaus

From the northern mountains, friend and student of King Lavan. Conscripted for an unfair crime, Balasar chooses to remain in service, to make the world safer for a daughter he has never seen. Harsh, intimidating, yet somehow fatherly. He cares deeply for the young witches and wardens, working hard to bring out their best whether they like it or not.

Pharah Verbena

Head of the Verbena Family, and a high ranking red elite known for her strong will and intelligence. Her title of Grand Matriarch is well deserved, operating with grace, dignity, and wit. Descended from the witches who once held the throne, she intends to take it back. Ambitious, but she is also a respectable mother and loving wife.

Aurelia Boveri

Boveri, a surname previously hailed as one of the noble houses in Arcana, now disgraced and avoided by any who knows of their unfortunate and accursed history. Aurelia wears this surname name like a badge of honor; her allegiance lies with her blood and anyone else is disposable.

Eva Fay

The youngest daughter of the powerful Fay family, Eva is a black sheep. Despite her power and skill as a witch, she much prefers to spend her time far from her family estate. She is much like her late father -- strong-willed with a fighter’s heart beneath a veil of hedonistic tendencies.

Lady Elentiya

As Priestess of her Temple, she is quite doted on as she's the messenger for the Goddesses, spirits, and mortals. Lady Elentiya spends her life mostly in solitude by offering prayers and performing traditional rituals including annual sacrifices and religious services. Nevertheless, the young Priestess wishes to be free from the walls that binds her.

WOW SO BEAUTIFUL

 

[Cosmos]

Spoiler: Stella's CS

|| W.I.P ||
(I'll add the coding later peeps, it all confuses me to much if I write with it though~)


Character's Full Name:
Stella Hikari [Name Translation- Star Light]

Gender:
Female

Age:
19

Color:
Blue

Occupation:
Witch, Reaching the end of her mandatory service to the military but intends to stay afterwards.

Rank:
Apprentice/Novice

License:
Three Petal

Personality: W.I.P
TL; DR: Kinda clumsy and pretty timid when it comes to social situations, someone who likes to sit down with a good book or preferably a sketchpad and draw. She tries her best to please everyone and can be rather awkward sometimes, fumbling over her words but has a good and kind heart, caring for everyone sometimes to the point where she forgets to look after herself, she has an adorable laugh and an innocent vibe radiates off her, her smile is something precise and has a childish and happy nature to it.

Quick Notes:
-She’s an incredibly skilled artist and if it weren't for her determination to join the military she could very well make a living off that and has been told it many a time from her foster parents, she simply laughs and smiles in reply however.

-Gets drunk easily and when she is acts completely opposite to her usual self, extremely open and flirtatious with any ladies around. (She’s gay just so ya’ know~)

-She had 15 siblings growing up whilst at the foster home and is very used to interacting with both those younger and older than her, having a particular soft spot and charm when it comes to handling babies or small children.

-Her parents passed away in battle when she was only a toddler hence her being given to the foster family, she has but one item to remember them by, a small pendant shaped like a golden flower from her mother. (Seen in her main image) And a lullaby written by them.
_____________________

Stella is one of those people that sometimes annoys others, not with insults or nagging, no nothing of that sort but instead with her everlasting optimistic and go get em' attitude, it seems nothing can get the otherwise timid and shy spoken girl down no mater the situation.

Having grown up with fifteen foster siblings she's well used to crowded living spaces and making sacrifices for others, sometimes caring about other people too much and forgetting about her own needs the process, even a compete stranger to her is someone in aid if they seem to need help, even if her words are a fumbled mess when trying to speak to anyone she's not used to, she's one to easily fluster and her nature means approaching others often looks like a teenage love confession in an over dramatised fashion.

Despite all this however the girl has spirit, and a lot of it, if a situation were to really call for it she would state her mind, maybe not directly as of yet but she would not simply let something pass if she could have a hand in it, everything in this world is precious as she believes. It's often been said her personality relates a lot to that of a white witch upon first meeting and she's grown used to it now, it's only when seeing her in her more relaxed and quiet place of reading or sketching under a tree or curled up under the blankets late at night with a lantern that you really notice the blue witch shining from within her soul.

Her reason for joining the military, or at least what she tells people when asked is, “Because I don’t want to see any more people get taken away by battle, I don’t want anymore children growing up without a parent or without knowing the warmth of a hug from someone who truly loves you, I don’t want anyone else to die and that’s why I’ll protect them, I’ll protect them all….. I want everybody to live forever.” the words are spoken with a built up emotional force that practically radiates off of her, but at the same time they’re always spoken with a genuine smile.

Appearance:
[Her exact appearance is shown in the image at the start of the CS]

Height- 5’6”

Weight- 49Kg

Eye Colour-An Ocean Greeny-Blue colour.

Hair Colour- A blackish dark blue, a few occasional light blue streaks throughout it.

Complexion- Darkish skin and a slight tan shade.

Other- She has a birthmark between her shoulder and her neck on the front of her body shaped like a star, one of the reasons she was given her name.

History: W.I.P
TL; DR: An orphan, Stella grew up in a foster home after her parents lives were taken on the battlefield. Currently toward the end of her mandatory service to the military at the age of 19, she hopes to keep on, wanting to put her skills to use helping protect others.
____________________________

Never knowing the warmth of the love one receives from a parent she grew up oblivious of their whereabouts for a long time, or at least that's what most thought, she was well aware of where they had gone from a young age, the words rang in her mind for years afterwards, we'll be right back, don't worry…. It was a voice she could barely remember, one of a soft and gentle tone, one that cared so deeply for another and one unlike she'd heard much since, the voice of the mother who's face she couldn't remember accompanied by that of her farther blurred figure. She wasn't sad about it though, after all- what's the point of being sad when you could be happy instead? By the age of fourteen the girl had all but moved away from the problem, freely speaking of her parents with only the slightest of hesitations.

And though they're not here now she knows that somewhere out there, somewhere inside her they're proud of where she's come from and where she'd going, the things she can achieve and believes that she will never loose hope no matter the battle.

Stella has two things to remember her parents by, both being extremely dear to her, a flower pendant from her mother and a song her foster parents told her was written before she was born, a lullaby of sorts they would sing to her at night and to this day when nobody listening, or at least when she thinks they aren't she'll sing it to herself, a voice full of passion and hope, one as innocent and cheerful as her rare but beautiful smile and as delicate as her well kept hidden laugh. (Little known unlike her drawing talent is that of her singing voice, though she can rarely be heard doing it, there’s a particular song she often sings, a lullaby of sorts one might say, her foster parents claiming it was something her parents made up for her before the incident. Her Song)

Her reason for going to the capital- Stella is currently in the capital firstly because of the military gathering there in order to gain work experience and fulfilling her role as apprentice helping out with tasks when needed and secondly to simply enjoy the festival, an event she'd never attended before and one that seems to be a lot of fun, even if the crowds of people aren't exactly her thing, plus Elena's been pushing her into going out and doing more stuff lately and this seemed like the perfect excuse to get away with it, she could always just go into a room or find some quiet place to read/draw if things got too loud.

Relationships: W.I.P
Family- None, deceased.
Relationships- Foster family (two parents and 15 foster siblings), Elena, The rest are to be worked out/added in as the roleplay progresses.

Skills: W.I.P
A list of general skills that your character possesses.

Weapon:
Glove sword, (pata) Leather armour. (Both items featured in order)




Her fighting style is based mainly around the use of magic with some skill in her pata, evidently for whenever she must use it but you wouldn’t call her a master of it, that’s for sure. Though her upper body fighting is rather good her lower body or more simply referred to as ‘kicking’ moves lack strength or direction. Her style relies on basic planning and then her own strength rather than going in full blown or planning for hours, she’s currently working on achieving a balance between the two of them.

Spells: W.I.P
If your character is a witch, create a short (2 to 8) list of their most commonly used spells.

Writing Prompt: W.I.P
Your response to the writing prompt goes here. It should be as long as what you think you would typically write for a roleplay post. Choose one of the following four prompts to respond to in-character:

The love was unrequited.
The effects of the spell were not as you anticipated.

Something happened here. You hope it was a miracle… but probably not.

[The J]

Georgio Attano

Stubborn, arrogant, and fiercely independent, Georgio is not the easiest man to deal with. He's convinced that he's being unfairly held back at a rank, due to lacking skills in swordmanship and idiocy from those around him. This, however, is not the full story.
His personality is the main problem; following orders is more an exception than the rule, and he's not exactly easy to get on with.

 

[RJS]

Bruno Fidele

Bruno is a man shaped by personal tragedy. Having nearly been broken by grief, he has rebuilt himself into a Warden and takes to the field with a grim unflinching approach. Stoical, unsociable and withdrawn, he still struggles to come to terms with his loss.
