Clockwork Syringe
The Night Blade
Hello all,
This is a story that I wanted to revisit after a while of not running any rps on the site and I would like to return to this setting with any interested parties.
The main premise is as follows:
Dear: (Player Character)
Congratulations! You have been accepted into Rodren University to further hone your arcane crafts. In case you don't know how to get to Rodren university, a directional charm has been included in this letter to help eliminate any confusion. Please arrive within 2 months of the send date of this letter to begin classes and the next phase of your life. We look forward to having you become a part of the next generation of Rodren Alumni
Sincerely,
Headmaster Richard Ophidian.
That was the letter you received a month and a half ago inviting you to attend the prestigious school located between the allied nations of Rendalia and Odalor. You couldn't believe it, you a (Arcane source) were going to attend this school.
Essentially you will get to chose the source of your arcane powers from the following basics and they are open to customization.
Arcane Externus: This method of magic occurs when one learns how to manipulate the Cosmic Loom outside of themselves without the aid of their own internal magic. Anyone can theoretically become an Arcane Externus, if they try hard enough. This is typically the most common form of Arcane Magic and is achieved through study and hard work
Arcane Blood: This method of magic occurs when one’s body or soul is a particularly concentrated point within the Loom, allowing magic to be sourced directly from within oneself. Most of the time, there is no real need for study of magic among Arcane Blood users, since the magic is manifested instinctively the more one uses it. Typically, this is received from a magical ancestor such as a dragon, an angel, a demon, an elemental, a djinn, etc. This the rarest form of Arcane magic as it requires you to have an arcane blood ancestor typically or a source of arcane blood magic.
Arcane Axiom: This method of magic involves attuning oneself to a sentient magical armament and gaining power from its own source. Most of the time the weapon is an Arcane Pact user that has, through long forgotten and dangerous magics, bound their soul to the weapon achieving a pseudo immortality for as long as the blade exists, the soul within the sword cannot die. This is an incredibly rare and depends on finding a weapon to attune to. Not much is known about how this magic works due to how rare it is. (This will not be available for selection at the start)
Arcanus Ambrosial: This method of magic is received from a deity and is dependent on their chosen religion. (Think of clerics/paladins) Power gained from this source is through devotion to a diety. This user draws power from their deity and uses it to fuel their magic. As their devotion grows, so does their power. The unity drive of each deity is different from each other but the Ambrosial’s specific channeling of that power is specific to their own interpretation.
Arcane Contract: This method of magic involves a deal or bargain made with a magical being. In return for providing power, the individual must agree to uphold some sort of bargain or promise. This is a generally uncommon form of magic.
You will also have a choice of Human, Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, Angel-kin, Kitsune, and demon-kin as pcs. If you want to play another race, check it with me first for my approval.
Please let me know if you are interested in joining or have any questions. If I receive enough interested people, I will begin construction on the threads and start the story soon enough.
