In a world full of adversity and strife, believing in just a little bit of magic can help. No harm in it. After all, it’s everywhere. From fireworks in the sky... to the bright colors of leaves in the fall. It truthfully is everywhere; you can’t avoid it. Besides, how else would we explain how a fire burns, or how birds take flight? There is no other solution. Well, no other solution than Magic.

Those flowers? Magic. That tree? Magic. That large, horrifying dragon in the sky? Right above us? Uh… magic.

Bad things are bound to happen. Well, to those who go against Magic. Or to those who try and explain it. They disappear. Magic is a strong force not to be reckoned with - this lesson is taught at a very young age. However, human curiosity can never be quenched, can it?

That’s where you come in.

Hello! It’s been a while since I last ran a RP, so here we go. This one takes place in medieval times. You know, dragons. Spells. Swords. Plague. All that good stuff. Your OC will be part of a small group that wants to learn about Magic. Which, of course, is forbidden. Big social no no. Bad things happen, after all. This group tends to meet up at the local blacksmith’s shop (controlled by me) at night. To discuss and plan ideas. And theories.

Very rebellious.

This is all happening under the great threat of Magic. Why do people disappear? What’s wrong with wanting to understand? Well, you'll find out I guess.

This RP will be limited to a certain number of OCs, so uh, yeah. Go for it. I’ll cut you guys off at some point - if there are enough. Also to note! Your OCs cannot control Magic, they simply want to understand it. Anyway, onto the boring stuff.

RULES:

- Basic Bulbagarden rules apply. Basic section rules also apply.

- No bunnying, no godmodding, no tennising.

- Keep it PG-13.

- If something rubs you the wrong way, let me know. I’ll try and handle it and make this a happy, joyous RP for all of us.

- As GM, I have final say in everything.

- Have fun! Be creative! And so on.

Name: Andreius (Dreius)

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Personality: A calm and collected young man. Despite outward appearances, he has a strong, rebellious heart which yearns for the truth; Dreius will go great lengths to achieve his goals.

Appearance: Standing at 6'0", Dreius has pale, freckled skin, dirty blonde hair, and brown eyes. His hair is chin length, with part of it being pulled back due to the nature of his work. He is fairly handsome, but he would never use this to his ability. He is poor, and his appearance shows this.

Other: none
 
Name: Jocelyn
Age: 23
Gender: Female

Appearance: Around 5'7” and has a slender frame. She has a heart framed face, with high cheek bones, pale complexion, blue-green colored eyes, and light pink lips. She has chocolate brown (almost black), thick, wavy hair that cascades to the midst of her back. She was wearing a charcoal, free flowing dress, with a scoop neckline, and loose, long sleeves. There was a green belt that loosely cinched at the top of her hips, drawing out her natural waistline. She usually has to keep her hair back and covered while she is delivering babies for patients, and she changes into white robes instead of wearing her usual clothes. She can't afford any fancier clothing, so most of her outfits are handed down from her late grandmother, to her mother, and to her and her sister, Evelyn. If she has any formal clothing, it was passed on, and would appear to be great with age. Her prized possession is her Ruby pendant that she inherited by her late grandmother.

Personality: Jocelyn is a very passionate woman when it comes to her work. She finds joy in being able to help people, and she feels so much happiness when mothers and fathers get to experience their child being brought into the world. The loving looks that new mothers give their infants seems to fill her with satisfaction that she had done her job. She is also a lover of animals, especially large dogs. She does love the idea of a family, but is stubborn when it comes to settling down. She refuses to marry any man who would try to take her away from her profession. Her stubborn streak has caused her to get into quarrels with her father, as well as the local midwife. She expresses much love for her sister, Evelyn. The two had grown up together, and they see each other as best friends, secret keepers, etc. Evelyn is truly the only person who has seen Jocelyn in her vulnerable state. Jocelyn doesn't open up to people about her feelings, unless she is speaking against something, and will try to ignore her true feelings. She hasn't found love yet, but that isn't to say that she has cancelled love out completely. Love isn't something she's actively seeking is all. If she wants something, she will not stop until she gets what she wants. She can come off as rude or childish, but she is mature when it matters. Her English Mastiff, Hunter, also fills her with joy. Despite her harsh shell, she is soft and gentle to infants, pregnant women, new mothers, her sister, her mother, animals, and Hunter. The only exception to the rule is the midwife.

Interest in Magic: She wants to use it to help her with her career as a future midwife.

Occupation: Midwife's Apprentice (Future midwife)

Skills: She has this uncanny ability to keep things as clean as possible. She loves to hum and sing when alone.

Other: She has an English Mastiff named Hunter.
 
Name: Sias Leone
Age: 25
Gender: Male

Personality
Sias is rather serious, calm, dedicated to his work, and is overall very results-driven. He prefers to see the results of his work, and tries his hardest to note down everything he sees. He is not without humor, but tends to stoicism when at work. This has caused some friction, which he is desperately trying to fix. This stoicism also belies some very bad habits: he tends to dislike sharing his notes with others, isn't open to criticism from those not close to him, doesn't often try to explain things that take too long - or conversely, explains things in too great of detail - and has a noticeable level of impatience toward anything he considers "dallying".

Outside of work, he is patient and likes to have long, one-on-one conversations with others. He loves the quiet, and is willing to listen to everyone's problems.

Appearance
Sias is a man of slender build, standing at 6'1" in height with jet black hair and dark brown eyes. He walks with a cane due to a spinal problem - one unknown to him or current medical science. Despite this, he maintains keeping his general appearance impeccable, wearing good clothing and keeping his hygiene in top form.

Interest In Magic
Despite the stigma, or perhaps because of it, Sias takes to the study of the magical arts heavily. He believes it to be the next step in the salvation of the world. Technology can only advance so far, and is subject to human error, while magic is boundless. He wants to learn about those arcane mysteries and unlock the potential it holds to benefit society and the structure of human life.

Occupation
Researcher

Skills

Mathematics and theory - he is an incredibly logical man who sees patterns, but opens his mind to creativity. This often comes at the expense of not knowing how to do much of anything else with great skill, which he wishes to work on.
 
Name: Wilhelm

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Personality: Wilhelm is quiet and thoughtful, he doesn't like to talk much about himself or the things he's seen and done. He tries his best to resist the temptations that drove him as a younger man, even as they continuously threaten to bubble back to the surface. In battle, he is a screaming demon, a contrast to normally having few words.

Appearance: Wilhelm is tall and stout, blessed with a massive muscular frame. He has long flowing blond hair and blue eyes. His torso is covered in scars from his past experiences in battle. He wears worn black armor and carries a massive broadsword on his back along with a shield with a worn red and white cross on it.

Interest In Magic: He wants to learn magic to try and right his past wrongs.

Occupation: A former crusader, he wanders as a mercenary of sorts.

Skills: A former crusader, Wilhelm is an accomplished swordsman who also has skill with a bow, an axe and a mace. He also has some experience commanding troops and has a keen tactical mind.

Other: NEIN
 
Name: Aria

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Personality: Very quiet and taciturn, she rarely speaks up unless she is spoken to. Generally seen as skittish by nature, she avoids large groups when she can help it. She lives in constant fear, knowing every second of the day that she could very well die. Still, she's silently hopeful for peace and equality, and does not tolerate the unfair treatment of others. However shy she is, Aria would rather be killed than remain totally silent as a bystander to those suffering and in need of guidance.

Appearance: She's of a very gaunt and slender build, her height that of below average for girls her age. Porcelain skin, with iridescent cerulean irises and strawberry-hued platinum locks with simple (slightly messy) braids in the front - with such alluring features, she could be easily stunning. Dirt, blood, and bruises are not an uncommon sight on her body, however, and her dirtied dress-like rags allows her to fit the poor stereotype quite well, unfortunately degrading her natural beauty. Extremely thin and malnourished, with a shackle enclosed around her left ankle and a black collar around her neck.

Interest In Magic: Though she hasn't had much opportunity to study it, she believes that it could possibly be the key to achieving equality in the world. She also owes a lot to it, as it was what allowed her to escape to freedom in the first place.

Occupation: Former slave/prisoner

Skills: Extreme survivalist skills. Also very nimble and stealthy, well-practiced in the art of thievery/lockpicking. Has a beautifully angelic singing voice, not that anyone's heard it before - she almost never uses it.

Other: Theme is Six Trillion Years and Overnight Story feat. IA. Under usual circumstances (i.e. the people she plans on stealing from) she doesn't give out her real name, often choosing to lie and say that she doesn't have one. Y'know, thief code and all.

Name: Claude
Gender: Male
Age: 23

Appearance: Claude stands at 6'3 with a muscular built and dark skin. His head is shaved and he has brown eyes. His body is covered with scars due to all the fights he has gotten mixed up in. He usually wears his armor over his clothes, mostly out of a habit of always wanting to be ready for any possible fights that might pop up.

Personality: Claude is usually serious and quiet, preferring to keep to himself. He constantly gives off a calm demeanor and is always paying attention to everything going on around him. He can have a bit of a temper however, one that he tries really hard to hide from others.

Occupation: ex-mercenary

Interest in Magic: He just recently became interested in it due to personal reasons.

Skills: He's proficient in many weapons such as axes, spears, shields and swords, he also has some skills with bow and arrow but his aim is really sloppy. His mastery is with swords however, which comes in handy with his dexterity and ability to move quickly, plus his strong build also makes him hard to take down. Because of this he's also trained in hand to hand combat.

Other: I want to sleep.
 
Name: Raven
Age: 24

Gender: Female

Personality: Raven enjoys exploring new places, and seeing new things. Most of the time she tries to have fun, but is also quick to feel worried about stuff. However if she is with someone she trusts then she is usually willing to do anything. When it comes to relationships, she hasn't had many outside of her family. For her family she is very close with them, especially one of her brothers and her father, and she would do anything for them. If she were to make close friends she would do the same. At times she'll feel inadequate or that she can't do stuff, but usually still try her best, and thus leave herself surprised. She is nice upon meeting others as well as nervous and shy, but usually opens up over time. She strongly believes in life being precious, and that everyone deserves a second chance.

Appearance: Long black hair that reaches to just past mid back, smoke colored eyes, and pale skin. Her height is average and her clothing depends on the situation, as does how she is wearing her hair. The only clothing that is very constant is a bag for carrying things, and a charcoal colored cloak with silver embroidery.

Interest In Magic: Raven discovered magic at sixteen and has studied it deeply since then. She constantly looks for more knowledge on it, and enjoys it immensely.

Occupation: Doctor

Skills: Magic :p Doctor stuff, as well as knowledge of plants and what kind of effects they have. She also knowledge of animals that relates to medical stuff. Horror myths and stories.

Other: I'm cold.
