Victorian Gala Roleplay!

Victorian Gala Roleplay!

Victorian Gala Roleplay!

A gala is being hosted at the palace. Multiple people will be there, dukes, dutchesses, nobles, entertainers, even the servants who watch with envious eyes as they serve the eleborately dressed guests. Dancers, musicians, singers, all invited to the gala. The king hosted the gala on behalf of his son, Frances, who requested it. He requested it for a much darker reason then to make friends, as he told his father. In a month, the gala will take place. In the gala, will be special people, who most likely don't even realize just how special they are, and the cunning prince has them all in one place. Each person, has a little bit of magic, the magic lost in the medieval times. The prince strives to retrieve the magic, by certain rituals, from these 'special' people.

The magic is minor, shrinked down after being passed from grandchild to grandchild. One with fire could only enlarge or shrink the fire and heat it up. One with water could move liquid across flat surfaces. One with wind could control the wind to a small extent. Some even have speed, hyped senses, or the ability to remain in the shadows, hidden. They may seem minor, but if the prince gets his hand on the magic bearers, who knows what he could do with that power?

Okay! If you join this roleplay, i want you to be dedicated! Don't let it die!! Also, try to write more then a couple paragraphs when you do post. If you don't have time, thats fine, just say so. This also will be slow moving, as NaNoWriMo is going on. Do not feel rushed to post, take your time when writing chapters and all.

Please, no overpowered magic! It is minor! Most people who have it don't know about it, a certain few do.

Alright, here is the charrie form!

Name: 

Age: (at least 16-18)

Magic: (MINOR)

Occupation: (Duke, entertainer [dancer, musician], noble, servant, ect...)

Appearance: 

Personality:

Other:

Alright, also, let's have some boys! Two charries each, one should be a boy. Doesn't have to, but it would be nice. Also, if you have two charries, only one can have element magic, the other has to have the super-power-type-thing.

Here are my charries!

Name: Courtney Bloom

Age: 17

Magic: Speed. It is only slight, but allows her to move impossibly fast and gracefully.

Occupation: Entertainer; Dancer. Why she has speed.

Appearance: She has long, brown hair and big eyes that match the rich, chocolaty color. She's tall and slender, muscular after her years of dancing, even though she looks delicate. She has an impossibly straight nose, different then her soft features, and delicate, but high, cheekbones. 

Personality: Stubborn and determined. She will turn one direction and won't stop walking that way until someone convinces her otherwise, which is a rare thing. She is a talkable girl, something looked down upon in this era, and very outgoing. She's adventurous and is always looking for a little mischeif!

Other: Her mom was a dancer. And she is a common folk, but her dancing skills gain her a bit of money, and she uses it wisely.

Name: Alaxandre Taime

Age: 18

Magic: Earth. He can basically telepathically move a bit of dirt of pebbles, and can has a way with herbs.

Occupation: Kitchen servant. His power helps with the cooking!

Appearance: He has a large forehead, placed above his shining green eyes and broad grin. His knotty black hair hangs down to his chin. He has a dark tan complexion, matching his tall figure. He never worked anywhere else but the kitchen, so his arms and legs are only strong from constant walking and stirring of stew.

Other: He knows about his power.

So there you have it! Someone else can have earth magic too, but vary it a little. Like, make it the ability to bloom flowers? Something cool like that XD.

Begin!

This is the Victorian Era, right? So they do have electricity (if rather rare.)

 

Sparks~

 

The Main Hall lighting is flickering. Again. Electricity is so very new, l do wonder why it was installed here. 
The head housekeeper had hunted me up, flustered and panting. She was very worried about her mater's reputation if the lighting should suddenly short out. Of course l would have a few hours, because of the gala going on no one would pass by here, all the nobles are in the ballroom, all the staff in the kitchens. 

 

l randomly poke around the wires in the wall, after unscrewing the light switch plate. l have no idea what l'm doing right now. What is the worse l can do, really? All those things about electricity being dangerous are complete nonsense. Deadly? Haha. Nice joke. It's light and energy, not dangerous. 

Through my poking about, l discover a frayed wire, unsteadily sparking every few seconds. As it touches my fingers, it breaks apart in a bright flash of light. 

~~~~~~~

The lights have shorted out. 

Or no-wait, this isn't that Main Hall. Supply closet. What the....? Why am l here? l try to sit up, but find out that my hand are tied behind my back. Light. l need light. 

 

And then there is a burning smell, and a flash of light. l stand up, staring at my hands, not quite believing it. l frown, thinking about light again. And again, a quick flash of electricity flickers on my fingers tips, then disappears, leaving me feeling energetic, and wondering if l was slightly insane. l can't be, for when it happened the first time, electricity burned through the ropes that tied my hands.

l hesitantly open the door. As usual, l have no idea what l'm doing or what is going on.

I was saying she saw the same kidnapping. I guess I didn't time it quite right.

Serafina~

The gala was filled with thoughts.  Overlapping and spilling, there were too many.  I couldn't block all of them out.  It was exhausting.  I didn't think I could hold out the whole night.  What would my excuse be this time?  A head ache, nausea, faintness, difficulty with breathing?  It wasn't a lie.  I did get headaches because of the exhaustion.   I would try to ignore it, enjoy myself for once.  A man came up to me, smiling politely.

"Would you like to dance, Miss?" he asked.  I looked him over.  Hmm... he was handsome enough.  What was he thinking?  No, no I musn't tire myself.  He was still waiting for my reply.

In a sweet, charming voice I replied, "Yes, please."  We waltzed across the room, my skirts rustling, and my corset squeezing, making it difficult to breathe.  Voices chorused in my head, nothing interesting.  Then one voice was isolated.  I will take the power for myself.  Who was that?  I froze.  "Excuse me, sir, I feel a bit faint, I must stop for a bit."  He let go of me.

"I am sorry that you do not feel well Miss."  He bowed.  I curtsied in return.

"Thank you, Sir."  I glanced around the room, frughtened now.  Who was plotting?  And would they get me?  I had to make sure not to reveal my abilities.  At least they weren't very obvious.

 

 

Sorry, I need to stop now.

Not to be a jerk, but we're kinda already into this. The roleplay has already started. You're new, right?

Well, number one you didn't really ask..

And number two mind reading is a bit over powered. If you made it sporadic and uncalled for, as you randomly get a thought from someone else.

Let's ask the others if they think you can stay~

I honestly think it's fine if Echo joins. Obviously it's up to Katy in the end, but I don't mind her joining. I will point out, though, that you have two girls, when Katy requested that each person has one boy, one girl.

So, just a bit of minor tweaking and I think it should be okay, as long as you read up on the RP.

Yes, some minor tweaking. Would you mind just having one character? Seeing as you are joining late.

So, I agree with ... About the mind reading. Other then that this roleplay needs the extra boost! Write on!!cd

How about she can only read the strongest, most emotionally powerful thoughts? Not just all thoughts. That's a possible way to make it less OP. The shape shifting is a little OP too, but maybe... I just don't know. And remember, this RP takes place in nineteenth to twentieth century England!
