Watchers
A tale of darkness and those who keep it in check

Welcome to the modern era, 2015. All is normal in society. But not for the Watchers.

Humans. We think there's nothing supernatural on this world, nothing magical, nothing truly, truly unknown. Ha! If only that were the case.
What would you say if I told you there were not one, not two, but tens, maybe even hundreds of supernatural species on Earth? You'd probably laugh at me, tell me to stop telling stories, but that is your mistake.
You see, or rather you do not, that there are many, many species that we are not aware of on this planet. Some evil, some neutral, but very few are truly good. Some are mortal, some are not. Some war against each other - vampires and weres, for example - but most are not on our side. We would be extinct or enslaved already, if not for one force - The Watchers.
The Watchers started as one man, back in the ancient times of primitive tribes. This man truly cared for the people of his tribe, and wanted to protect them against an unspeakable evil that had taken over a neighboring tribe. He was the only one who could see this evil in full form, as the supernatural was invisible to all others. In his sleep one night, two very strange objects appeared in his dreams. A top hat and a cane. To us these are normal, but back then, they were unique. He could see they held an unknown power, glowing with purple light. When he awoke, there they were - sitting at the opposite side of his hut. He used these mysterious objects and the knowledge that came with them to defeat the evil, and once he had done so, more knowledge appeared in his head - the ability to create more of these magical objects, and show the evil to others. His tribe became defenders against evil, and passed down their knowledge and power through generations. They fought many evils, and were known by many names. But the evil has grown stronger than ever, and the Watchers must rise to the challenge.


Hello everybody! Welcome to "Watchers", a Fantasy RP about supernatural evil and the heroes who must stop it. You're welcome to RP a Watcher or a member of a neutral or even good Supernatural, but you'll have to create a description of the Supernatural. Do note that I will be more harsh on apps of Supernaturals. Before you apply, do read the box below, if you would.

Weapons of a Watcher

A Watcher has three weapons: His hat, his cane, and his brain. It's up to the Watcher to know when to use what.
The Hat: A Watcher's hat is his shield, a protection from many foes. It creates a web of magic around the wearer, to protect from supernatural attacks. But beware! The Hat will only withstand so many attacks before it can no longer maintain its web.
The Cane: The cane of a Watcher is his sword, his destroyer of foes, Judgement incarnate. It has the ability to manifest pure magic, to strike at any foe. Some Watchers even have the ability to choose what form the magic takes when it manifests, and create a variety of things with their cane. However, the cane must be held to be used, so a Watcher must hold on to his cane at all times.
The Brain: This one should be fairly obvious.


Rules
1. I am the OP. I am god while you reside in this thread.
2. Any Co-OPs I may decide to appoint are also God in this thread.
3. Moderators happen to also be God, so stay out of trouble and follow rule 4.
4. Follow the NS rules, we're on NS people!
5. Don't be an ass, and have fun!

Supernatural Application
(Delete Everything in parentheses before applying, or you will be automatically denied)
(Do not modify the app format in any way or you will be automatically denied)
Name: Alicia Cromwell
Age: 18
Height & Weight:4'2"; 125 lbs.
Appearance and/or Description:
Image

Species Description: Witches often exist as maligned agents, performing dark and forbidden arts. They consign with the creatures of supernatural nature, usually involving the forces of hell, or even the powers of the Fae. Witches are considered evil in nature, or so the popular belief goes, but there are splintered factions with a more good, rather than evil alignment. The most prominent consignments either begin with demons, who are notoriously evil, or Fae-creatures, who often have a mischievous chaotic nature to them. Most magic gained from faeries, usually comes from the more villainous, spirited away type faeries.

The title of "Good" witch is still a looked down upon term. They are commonly defenders of justice who have turned back on teh conventional wisdom of the world, believing the only way to defeat demons, is to become one. “To defeat evil, I must become a greater evil,” stands as the unspoken motto to the Cromwell. Other good witches seemed to have rallied around the same flag.

Witches often have their lives extended through magic. This is a common practice done by even the "good" witches. Many demons believe that the longer a soul writhes on earth, the more deliciously morose it will become. Being killed, or getting stabbed in the head, is still final.

Brief Bio: One defines Cromwell as a dictator who imposed martial law to its fullest. This is true, but what most people don't realize is the underpinnings behind his oppressive rule. Cromwell was, by all definitions, a watcher in his own right. Though, he wasn't exactly a "watcher" in the normative sense. His family lost everything and faded into obscurity after the revolt, causing them to resort to blacker magic to achieve its goals. He committed the greatest sin of the light: He took an oath, a bargain, a contract.

"I, Thomas Cromwell, Proffer up my soul, along with the soul of my kin, to protect the world. I shall become a visage of evil. Mine eyes shall be covered in blackness, and mine heart shall bleed black. I becometh wicked, me and my family."

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, an evil for an evil. Alicia carries this burden, like all who came before her. She has given away her soul to become an emissary of evil. She is a witch. One who contracts with the demons of hell. At the small age of 7, she was given her first spellbook; at the age of 17, she slay her first demon. She holds tight to her staff, and mindful eye of her spells. She has lost everything, as to protect everyone.
Personality: She intentionally tries to appear serious and imposing, often to "compensate" for some of her eccentricities. She gets easily angered, especially when people mention her height. She is easily excitable, and has a difficult time controlling herself. Of her eccentricities, she especially tries to hide her gigantic stomach. She is a glutton, who devours food at a supersonic rate. Your food as well...

She doesn't talk much about herself, as a direct result of her continued studies in magic. She didn't get out to play often, and when she did, she felt like the odd one out. That only intensified when it turned out her "growth spurt" was 2 inches.

She also has a specific, brash behavior in combat. This often contradicts her serious, focused appearance in combat. She often thinks slow, methodical steps waste time which could be used for action. This has had consequences in some instances, but she hasn't learned.
Skills: Her magic focuses on black magic, if you couldn't tell. She has a couple of tricks up her sleeve
  • Control. Control is the basic name for magic which implies dominance over a subject or concept. Alicia has a below average control over dark energy. She can fire out a number of dark shards towards her enemies. She is a fan of the magic missile.
  • Entrapment. Entrapment involves the binding, or encasing of an enemy. Alicia is the weakest at this, but can still summon a chains to bind an opponent in place.
  • calling. Calling is a generally broad term, but mostly covers the enhancement of one's physical abilities through the direct calling of demonic powers. This puts an intense strain on the human body. A last resort.

Theme Song:
Likes/Dislikes:
    likes- food, with her favorite being. italian food, goth-loli clothes, art, hard rock. sweets. Free time. Helping people.
    dislikes- hateful supernaturals, alcohol (actually, her on alcohol is not something anyone wants), honesty, people who waste time thinking of a solution rather than action
RP Experience: EHEG, TKaG: Revival, "Magic, Myths, and Monsters," The Wizards of Zid, Pandora's Requiem, many others.

I suggest we all try to have at least one Watcher character in addition to our supernatural characters as the plot focuses on the Watchers.

If Franz is rejected I'll just apply for a Watcher, anyway. I feel that's highly likely, but I'll just try.

Oh, I wasn't saying that Franz is bad- I too have an app for a supernatural entity. It's best to try.

Tag. I'll need some time to think up of a character... I have a half-idea so far of what kind of person I'd like to try playing.

EDIT: So what exactly is the age range of Watchers along with their average life-span?

I'd imagine young adult to elder with the life span of the average Human.

I've been in the mood to play something none human so- determining the kind of Watcher I'd play is proving a challenge.

You could play a Supernatural if you want. Also, do you want to Co-OP since this was partly your idea?
