Realistic or Modern Sorcery- A Modern Magic Rp

WeaselThor

The Thundering Mustelid

All your life you've been told the same thing. Magic does not exist, dragons, wizards, fairies , & trolls are all just fantasy stories... But what if they weren't just fairy tales? What if magic exists and we just cannot perceive it. That's the case for this world and it all started 500 years ago.

Humanity had Turned against magic and magic creatures. The Magic charged creatures were on the verge of going to war with the humans when the Grand Wizard Izekiel decided the answer was to build a vast magical barrier called the Veil. This Veil prevented the humans from perceiving magic and any creatures with magic in their eyes it masked them as mundane objects or beings. And it caused magical beings to be unable to harm humans who didn't have a magical spark. However most humans do not have this spark.

Needless to say many were not happy with the grand wizards decision. So the mightiest Magic users in the world banded together to stop him. Yet even together they were overwhelmed by his might, Until the Knight Brogan and his entire order gave themselves over to an otherworldly power and united against the Grand Wizard. In the end they managed to fragment the Grand wizards essence and seal his remains away in a tomb...Yet he vowed to return when the world needed him again. It has been 500 years since that day.

Now present day the Knights Who Gave into the dark power with Sir Brogan are now hidden rulers throughout humanity, they wish to wage war against the magic world and bring the veil down. However Izekiel the Grand wizard has awoken from his slumber, though severely depowered due to his essence being scattered over the world into different people, objects, & Creatures. Each piece of essence holds remarkable power and as such the race has begun.

(Hey guys this will be a magical mystery Rp revolving around the Grand Wizards Revival, The Collapse of the Veil, and humans who have yet to awaken the latent magic within them. You can be anyone and anything. A witch, a demon, a dragon, a human who has a bit of magic knowledge. All roles are open. You can even start with a fragment of the grand Wizards essence, but be warned. The essence fragments are the driving force behind the story. If you have one everyone wants it. Each person has their own reason for wanting a fragment but it is believed that whoever holds all of them can control reality, even with just one a person could become a one man army and unleash enough power in one sitting to wipe out a dozen city blocks. I will be very lenient on restricting powers but keep in mind magic is the force of the universe and no one is an absolute. You cannot make someone who is "the best" at anything. There are powerful Npc's to be brought out in the late game that will require more than any one person can offer to beat them, so keep in mind your character will not be the biggest badass in the world. Im looking for characters who can grow and develop, not ones who can beat everyone and anyone, and not ones who are helpless.

If i get 4 pokes ill drop a cs. 6 and ill make all the threads. Hope you guys enjoy there is a lot of lore for me to cover so if you have any questions dont hesitate to ask.
 
The three fundamental Magic Laws.

(These aren't rules. They are basically the same as scientific laws such as E=M/C^2. They cannot be broken by normal means.)

1st- Magic Cannot be used to Create Something from nothing. A catalyst is always required. For example, in order to make a Flame whip one must have a source of fire (like a lighter), and a source of magic (your own mana). This is why wizards often enchant items to save time finding catalysts.

2nd- Each user of magic Has their own "domain". This is not to say they cannot use different kinds of magic. The domain refers to the Mind, Body, and Soul of the mage. A magic user cannot effect the domain of another magic user. So for example you cannot use a spell to control another persons body, mind, and soul.

3rd- the use of Any magic from a source outside of a magic users own domain weakens their domain. (Magic items, "borrowing" power, and using Essence fragments.) once a magic users domain has been completely diminished they become a Dredge. (Mindless magical zombie, dangerous af.)
 
Major roles

(Several characters will be playing these major roles for the most part some of their abilities and history is set in stone. But as for who they are you can design this yourself. Pm me if you want one of these roles so we can coordinate to make the character fit the lore, role, and your creative vision.)

Essence Vessels.
(There will be three of these. They are characters who start off with one of the essence shards.)

Essence of Time- whoever holds this essence has time manipulation capabilities. The effects of this power start off small, but it has the potential to be one of the most powerful abilities ever. If the user can survive that is.

Essence of Battle- the holder of this essence has a supernatural combat prowess. They are skilled in all forms of warfare and weapons seem to naturally work better in their hands. Thats just the tip of the iceberg however, this essence progresses slowly, and is relatively low powered when compared to the other two. However it is unilaterally effective. No one has any particular weakness to it, but there is not particular defense it cannot overcome.

Essence of Awareness- the User of this essence has remarkable perceptive abilities. To the point where they can magically enhance their senses beyond what any other being is capable of. This ability can even transcend its own limits and become a type of clairvoyance, however its true ability lies in the fact that the user can see other essences in people, objects, or creatures.


The Old ones
(The ancient beings who wished to destroy humanity and stood against the Grand Wizard, they are immortal and all possess immense power. Enough to effect the entire world if they see fit.)

The First Vampire- this character is the first vampire to ever exist and the root of the vampire curse. As for history its a free board but they must have been from ancient Sumeria 5000 years ago, In Troy 4000 years ago, ancient egypt 3000 years ago, Ancient Rome 2000 years ago, and Transylvania 500 years ago to inspire the vampire legends around the globe.

The Demon Ruler- used to be that demons were run by a council of 13 demon lords and ladies. That was until around 6000 years ago when this one demon took over the council becoming the soul ruler of all demons. This being inspired all the tales of the underworld, from hades to the grim reaper, even the devil. All derive from humanities broken understanding of this transdimensional being.

The Ape King- Son goku, the inspiration for many myths about chi and spirit energy manipulation. Of all the this is the only one that is gender specific. The Ape king must be male. The person playing this role gains the respect that comes with being the most mystically powerful being in the world. Their reserve of magic dwarfs nearly everyone elses and it is rumored he can reduce a mountain to dust with a single punch.

The Sky god/goddess - can be from any pantheon. They inspired the stories of all the different gods of the sky. From Zeus to Thor and every other sky god. The character is gender fluid and possesses the ability to control the weather, shapeshift, and effect the domains of mortals.

The Sea god/Goddess- As with the sky god this singular being is the inspiration for all sea gods from Poseidon to Njord. They possess the ability to manipulate water, shapeshift, and effect the domains of mortals.

The Fallen Knights
(These are the knights that rule earth from the shadows. At least the humans of earth. They were once allied with the grand wizard but betrayed him after being granted otherworldly power from a dark dimension. Unlike the other major roles these are highly open to your interpretation. Make the knight whatever you want but there are 4 rules you must follow.

1st they are all immortal, like evaporate them and they come back the next day immortal.

2nd each one has a different magical weapon, all of which are from the medieval era and are very powerful.

3rd each can take on a dark form akin to an eldrich horror (like cthulu). This "Dark form" is quite powerful but is irreversible without help from their deity so few do it.)

4th- All Seven knights answer to Mira Logoth the source of their power and essentially an otherworldly Goddess.​
