That's right, I'm

Chatterbox: Inkwell

That's right, I'm

That's right, I'm back with yet another roleplay. (For some reason my roleplays attract a lot of people? Which is weird? Because every single one of them is spawned from some weird idea I got at three in the morning?)

Usually I make sci-fi style roleplays, but this one is fantasy. Specifically, urban fantasy! This roleplay takes place in the land of Fearann, a vast continent full of different biomes and nations. Certain people (our charries included) are born with magical abilities. Unfortunately, about forty years ago the Fearann Civil War took place, in which a half-crazed wizard named Tagata Paolo attempted to usurp the High King, Ceann Dayalu. Magic users have gained a bad rep ever since.

There's also the rise of the Orion Institute, a group of people who seek to hunt down all magic users and either convert them to their cause, or imprison them for eternity. They are supported by High King Dayalu. Their headquarters is located within the province of Kyrios, where the capitol of Fearann, Vasilea, is loacted. They are lead by the Huntsman, a mysterious figure who none know the true identity of.

Here's some very basic world-building stuff--

Basically, all sorts of magic exist, and so do many magical creatures. (However, all our charries will be humans.) Modern-day technology exists as well. Each province is ruled by a different leader, whether it be a president, chieftan, monarch, etc. In turn, all of these leaders are ruled over by the High King, who is also the ruler of the province of Kyrios.

PROVINCES--

Kyrios-- the largest province. Consists of large cities, forests, hill areas, and vast plains. Capitol is Vasilea. Ruled by a High King (or Queen, or Monarch.)

Zesti Mera-- the second largest province. Consists of deserts and canyons. Capitol city is Epineo. Ruled by a Prime Leader (who is voted on.)

Snodekte-- Consists of tundras, mountains, spruce forests, and lots of glaciers and snow. Capitol city is Viktig. Ruled by a chief. (who is voted on, from a special family.)

Dasi-- Consists of forests and forest-covered mountains, as well as vast cave systems and swamplands. Capitol city is Fyllo. Ruled by a king/queen/monarch. 

Foinikas Isles-- A group of islands that are mostly tropical, with volcanic regions as well. Capitol is Zoiros. Ruled by a religious leader who is chosen at birth, called the Eklektos. 

You can make Orion Institute charries as well as royalty, or regular magic users. There is no limit on charries so I'm just trusting everyone to not create a super-crazy amount. (The latter portion of that statement was directed mostly towards myself.) OP charries are strictly forbidden.

back to the Inkwell

This roleplay sounds cool, so...

Name: Lucy Alpha 

Gender: Female, she/her

Age: 18

Where they live: Lives in a modern apartment in Kyrios

Job: Treasurer of a large banking company (she secretly wants to sabotage the owner of the bank so she can get a higher position)

Magical ability: Her eyes are actually cybernetic, so she can automatically identify almost anyone, track thermal heat, hack into various technologies, acess techinolgy just by looking at it, and identify weapons and vehicles. 

Appearence: Nearly pale skin with blue eyes and red lips, hair in a neat ponytail. 

Weaknesses: Can get addicted to money very quickly, a bit too good at persuading and tricking people (she has made a lot of enemies), target of many  hitmen. 

Personality: Devious and coy, seems sweet and harmless on the outside but is actually very cruel. Has she ever harmed anyone? Well, nobody knows... yes. A  couple people in fact. All for money and power.

Backstory: Was a daughter of a vetran when at the age of 10 years old, she lost nearly the whole top of her head during a terrible incident. It was replaced with robotic parts and silicone, so nearly nobody can notice it. And that is how she got her cybernetic eyes. But it brought her so much pain, her only relief was tricking, decieving, and conning other people.

Other: Always carries around a couple knives, some other equipment, and a lazer. Just in case.

Name: Charity Vortex

Gender/Pronouns: She/her

Age: 14

Where They Live: At the royal palace of High King Dayalu in Vasilea.

Job (Jobless is an option): Is a servent in the castle. 

Magical Ability (DESCRIBE IN DETAIL): She has the ability to alter people's memories. She can look at someone and shift through their memories with the option to delete anything from their consiousness. The longer/more important the memory is, the harder it is to erase. This doesn't mean she can read minds, just that she can see where everyone has been by looking through their memories.  

Weaknesses: She is very timid and afraid to even use her ability at all, because she's scared that she'll be found out. She's also not too great with weaponry, even though she practices with a knife pretty often.

Appearance: She's pretty, but it's downplayed a lot by the fact that she's just a servant in the palace. She has auburn hair and dark green eyes and pale skin. 

Personality: She doesn't have much self confidence and thinks through stuff too much before doing it.

Backstory (Optional): She lost her parents in an accident when she was young and never told anyone about her past as she was growing up in different foster homes across all of the provinces (except Snodekte and the islands). She managed to get a job as a servent in the palace and spends her days waiting on the royal family and trying to hide her powers. If she was found out, she would die.

Other: Nope

Where They Live: The Orion Institute HQ in Vasilea.
Job: Leader of the Orion Institute
Magical Ability: He can track anyone down, as long as he has something of theirs--whether it be their wallet, lock of hair, or necklace. Also, if he has an object of theirs, anything he throws at them will always hit them--it could be a rock or a throwing knife. In simpler terms, he has hunting/trapping abilities.

Backstory: I have one figured out but I don't want to write it all out so...eh.
Other: Closed to shipping.

Job:  She deals with ghost and zombie related issues.
Magical Ability: Can commune with the dead and summon ghosts. She can temporarily rasie and control skeletons and zombies and such.
Weaknesses: They can only control a few dead at a time as it's extremely energy-consuming. Also, they can't control ghosts. 
Appearance: Medium dark skin with short hair, in a pixie cut. Her hair is a pale silver with lilac highlights. Usually wears casual but fancy clothes, generally masculine outfits. Always wears dark lipstick and lots of eyeliner. Her eyes are a dull grey. Small and somewhat frail.
Personality: Generally friendly. Confident though quiet, can be snarky and sarcastic at times. Has a tendency to hyperfocus on things and forget the rest of the world exists. Fairly intelligent but not enough so that it's super noticable. Creative, charming. Around people she looks up to they can get a little flustered, but remain composed. Decent at talking her way through situations. 
Backstory: Tali comes from a long line of dead-raisers and necromancers and witches who use dark magic. Her two moms taught her how to use her abilities to the fullest, one of them able to cotnrol the dead and the other able to summon ghosts. When she turned eighteen, she left her family's mansion and moved into a smaller house a couple blocks away from her childhood home.
Other: Open to shipping with anyone, but I'd prefer if it were with another girl.
----
Name: Milos li Kohan
Gender/Pronouns: Man, he/him
Age: 21
Where They Live: Vasilea, in Kyrios.
Job: He's a nobleman, meaning he doesn't need to have a job--but he sometimes works as a fashion designer.
Magical Ability: He can see auras and can alter emotions, as well as communicate telepathically. He typically plants thoughts and emotions in people to get them to trust him and like him. However, he can't read minds or control people's movements. He's also pretty resistant to mind-control.
Weaknesses: His ability is literally useless in the middle of a fight. He can also only alter emotions--not thoughts and free will.
Appearance: Fair skin with a light tan, icy blue eyes. Very dark, deep brown hair that's nearly black. Always wearing at least a little makeup. He wears very fancy and formal outfits with a feminine vibe to them. A little under average height, not very strong.
Personality: Carefree and charming, quite charismatic even without his abilities. Friendly and flirty, a fairly unpredictable character. Can be a bit of a trickster, but typically not. Dramatic flair. 
Backstory:  Milos was born into the li Kohan family, one of the larger families of nobility in Vasilea. While most of his relatives strived for power and a position in the King's palace. Milos, however, was content with the power and wealth he already had. And when he discovered he had magic, it only gave him more reason to avoid the High King.
Other: Open to shipping! Preferrably with guys.

Name: Zara Eleceed
Gender/Pronouns: She/her

Age: 19

Where They Live: In the capital of Zesti Mera (Epineo)

Job (Jobless is an option): Priestess

Magical Ability (DESCRIBE IN DETAIL): She can control fire. Just like, make it appear, make it disappear, make it spread (but only if the conditions are right), and she's immune to it, and all indirect heat caused by it.

Weaknesses: On the flip side of all her personality traits: she's trusting, but this crosses the line into blind faith often. She gives second chances, but she gives third chances and fifteenth chances as well, until the chances simply blend into ignorance. Reasonable, to the point of never doing something that hasn't been done before.

Appearance: Dark skin, golden eyes, ebony hair. 

Personality: Kind, trusting, truthful. She always gives second chances, and isn't afraid to give out her trust. She's just unable to lie, like, she never does it. Because she's truthful, she automatically assumes that everyone else is truthful too. Reasonable and placid, hesitant to do anything off the beaten path. A rule follower.

Backstory (Optional): She was an orphan, adopted by the temple. She grew up as a novitiate in the temple, and became a priestess when she came of age. She's a relatively respected priestess, and because she has the power of fire, she often leads in many ceremonies including fire/sacrifice.

Other: Probably not going to be too active in this, but whatever XD

Is this a mistake? Probably. Still, this sounds like fun, so here we go!

Name: Ivy Rakdan

Gender/Pronouns: Female, she/her

Age: 18

Where They Live: Snodekte, in one of the towns on the border

Job (Jobless is an option): Some kind of position in the Orion Institute? I don't know, but she's high up in the ranks and she's in contact with the Huntsman (through a proxy, of course).

Magical Ability (DESCRIBE IN DETAIL): She can basically see the future through dreams. Sometimes this is in the form of hearing prophecies delivered by a cloaked figure, sometimes she's actually watching the event unfold. It's irregular, and she can have visions for several days in a row and then none for months at a time. However, she generally has more visions of a specific event the closer it's going to happen. I'll try not to make this OP or spoil the plot!

Weaknesses: Ambition. She fully intends to do whatever is necessary to rise to the top and prove to her family and herself she shouldn't be messed with. (More on that later.)

Appearance: She wears a camo hoodie all the time, and carries candy in its pockets. She's small and unassuming-looking. Curly caramel-colored hair that she often braids back and pale skin. She wears diamond stud earrings that often attract attention.

Personality: Stubborn, loyal, and ambitious. Determined to make something of herself and tired of constantly being underestimated. Nevertheless, she's eager and cheerful. She tends to ask lots of questions and she likes playing pranks.

Backstory (Optional): Secretly, she's related to the ruling family of Snodekte. Her father used to be the ruler, and her cousin's the current ruler. However, she was always snubbed and ignored, not being seen fit for running for election. The minute she turned eighteen, she ran off, determined to make her own way. A few months later, she was recruited for the Orion Institute and rose quickly through their ranks.

@Sybill, I was thinking, is there any way we could ship Ivy and Tali? They'd make a fun pair!

Name: Bone Victory Anasix
Gender/Pronouns: He/they/etc.
Age: Immortal, ageless, looks to be about 19
Where they live:Kyrios
Job: Right now a private invetigator's assistant
Magical Ability: Blood and bone/wtheck is that supposed to mean, ilovethismagicalability, hopefully it's not too OP, it's never when I write about it myself, there's energy that Bone can control and he can cut people up with just a thought, and he can also heal. His body reacts to any injury with instant healing; it is a subconscious reflex. Therefore he cannot be murdered. However, he can be driven insane. With lots of focus and lots of energy he can shatter inanimate objects. Also he can teleport.
Weaknesses: Loud noises, annoying people.
Appearance: A bit raggedy short black hair and very pale skin, his eyes change color depending on his mood. Basically red/bored, blue/angry, green/happy, black/veryverybad don't cross him when his eyes are black.
Personality: Easily annoyed but otherwise bored, boring, and apathetic
Backstory: ........
Other: N/A

I'm sorry but Bone is definitely OP. He shouldn't be able to cut someone with literally just a thought, he shouldn't be immortal, and it should possible for him to be murdered.  Not only that, but "loud noises" and "annoying people" aren't really weaknesses-- they sound more like things Bone simply dislikes.

submitted by @CrackedSidewalk, Sybill
(December 17, 2020 - 1:57 pm)

I think Bone is OP. It's already almost too much with the whole immortal/healing/killing people on sight thing, but with teleporting on top of that is overdoing it a little bit. I'm really sorry if this came off as rude, I just wanted to let you know.

submitted by @Cracked Sidewalk
(December 17, 2020 - 2:13 pm)

*gasps*
*heart stops*
*is deliriously happy*

I saw a woman dressed in gray except for her shoes which were the brightest shade of yellow. I hate yellow.

So, no teleporting.

Too loud noises cause him to stop thinking straight and annoying people beg for him to smash things. 

You shouldn't be sorry. I'll be back and if he's still too OP I'll go and talk to the Old Ones and we will make a decision.

If everyone is OP, then no-one is? 

submitted by Cracked Sidewalk
(December 17, 2020 - 3:56 pm)

Teleportation wasn't the problem. The other powers were. Please change them, and add more weaknesses to balance out his powers. Thanks.
