College for Mages (OOC/Sign ups/Open)

[Charmera]

IC
Intro and Lore
Once, magic roamed free, it was unstable, chaotic and almost impossible to control.

Then it was mastered by several mages who unified and tried to control the world. Another group of mages banded together to stop them. So sparked the first Magi war.

The war left the world damaged, so Mages were put under regulations. The harsh regulations led to a short lived second Magi war, lasting only half a year.

The regulations were laxed, however the ones who did not turn to the winning side were harshly punished.

Now, a hundred years after the Second Magi war, the magi college was founded fifty years ago. Dedicated to educating, governing and housing mages. The Mages have devolved into factions, maneuvering against each other for power in college politics. For whoever controls the college, controls the mages, whoever controls the mages, controls the world.

Welcome to the Mage College.

This will be a new RP and the first RP I’ve OP’ed. You will be playing as a mage in the college or a non-mage in the college, you can specialize in a certain type of magic and the RP will be driven by College politics and intrigue type events which will include:

Duels
Assassinations
Battles (groups of Magi vs groups of Magi)
The Looming threat of a Third Magi War.
Quests and missions.
Other events I’ll come up with as we go.

The college is not just a place of learning, it is where the regulations for magi are made and the Archmage is elected, This is also where new magic types are discovered and new magical inventions are created.

Your all in the final year of the college, the nearly full Magus’. After you become one you can join factions. The RP will start a week before the Graduating trials.

Loriens: Mostly elves and humans, this faction believes in keeping the status quo. Will do anything to preserve peace and order.

The Current Archmage, Sumeius, is a fervent Lorien, and the leader of the faction.

Venhines: Mostly Dwarves, Forged and Gnomes. This faction believes in the advancement of the world, in technology and society, no matter the cost.

Their Leader is a Gnome known as Seras, she’s more focused on her inventing work then running a faction. She mostly follows her advisors advice in council meetings.

Inerans: Mostly Humans, Goblins and Archenea. This faction desires power over all else, using subterfuge and subtlety to get it.

Their leader is a Human called Azerec, he is subtle and stealthy, not prone to bold acts as he’s a bit of a coward.

Rusa: Mostly Human and Kitsune. They believe that magic should be free with no restrictions.

Their Leader is a Kitsune named Sasara. She’s rather enigmatic, and prefers not to speak much at meetings.

Harren: This faction thinks that the mages College should forge its own independent nation and go into the world rather than being a protectorate of Serresia.

Their Leader is a Forged called Ferrus, He is unusually passionate about his cause for his race.

Zierenon: They believe that magic should be used to make the world a better place and should unify all the nations under one banner. Barring that they believe college practices should be open without subterfuge or secrecy.

Their leader is a Arechena called Zirron, he is an idealist, rare for his race, believe that all should live peacefully.

Paladins: These are the order of the College, trying to make sure the individual factions don’t cause too much chaos and that some semblance of order is kept. They don't take sides in council disputes, acting as peacekeepers or mediators. Normal humans of exceptional skill can join their ranks.

Their led by a triumvirate of Grandmage, Marshal and Lord Protector.



Paladins have anti magic shields provided by their magic armour. These shields wear down in time, but are a Paladins main defense against Mages

[Alleniana]

Magic Type APP:
Name: Rubricraft
Origins: Once, a wizard whose name was lost to history, decided to try and conjure a type of red powder he had seen only in his dreams. It worked, and created such a powder. This powder had so many functions an entire branch of magic was dedicated to it. It was called Rubricraft; the craft of the red powder. Later, the powder was discovered to be made of a mix of various fairly common crystals, metals and whatnot imbued with some energy and magic.
Class: Alchemist
Abilities: The powder has many, many functions, and allows creation of many wondrous advanced robotics, animation, automation, movement and processing. One thing it has proved unable to do, despite its usefulness though, is create sentient life.
Drawback: The powder must be created first, with either the aid of a conjurer or various ingredients found only by more mundane means. Also, it is not as well known as many of the others, though luckily, it isn't very dangerous. Also, it can be dabbled into by amateurs, if badly, which is annoying for many.
Note: People who practice it are called Rubricians, and have oft pushed for a totally new classification of magic separate from alchemy for Rubricraft.

Name: Herod Illyeros
Age: 21
Race: Full-blood boring Human
Appearance: Long, slightly fading robes of red, a head of oddly suitable messy orange-ruby hair, medium-tall height.
Class: Alchemist
Magic Focus: Rubricraft. He is already fairly well known in the area of rubricraft as skilled; it seems to be a natural talent
Faction you will be in once you graduate:
Bio: A person from a family straddling the border between middle and working/peasant class, he grew up on a farm fairly near town. He had magical abilities, so he went to the college where he did excellently. He didn't quite put his FULLEST effort in until he found rubricraft which he had a natural talent for. He excelled in it, also learning a bit of enchanting to help create rubericum (the red powder). Now, he is ready to graduate, and many consider him a prime candidate to go so far as to take over rubricraft at the college.
Personality: Fairly smart, friendly, outgoing, and a bit naive of the more deep and dark secrets of the college. Easygoing, but is certainly provokable.
Faults: Sometimes rushes things, is bit naive like said before, often pays too little attention to things like food and money, is a bit disorganized.
Anything else of note:
Number: 8456 (did you get this idea from my RP?)

A quick question for sorcerer/sorceres, do you need to pick one of those 4 elements as magic or can it be a mix of 2?

[Charmera]

A quick question for sorcerer/sorceress, do you need to pick one of those 4 elements as magic or can it be a mix of 2?

With Sorcerers and Wizards you can pick more than one, however no more than two. Also if you pick two the individual elements will be weaker, however you will be able to mix them.

My idea is what I call Black Ice. It is ice with electricity inside of it so rather than it being used to freeze opponents or cut, stab, ... them with ice, it's like a grenade. Ice shoots somewhere, gets stuck to a wall or whatever, then when the ice melts or breaks it explodes in an electrical field.

Naturally my char can then use ice and electricity seperate but weaker than one fully studied in a single element.

Oh, sorry.
Faction you will be in once you graduate: Neutral, though leaning towards Venhines or Zierenon, with Paladins being a distant 3rd choice.

And ok.

This looks like it will be a really good RP; I normally don't join character RPs, but this one seems too damn good

All right, I will attempt to do so later as right now my time is rather limited. I should have one before the end of the day. (Before the end of my day at least ^^)

What are these magic abilities ? Like, what are their effects and such.

Pact with an other
Soul Melding
Spirit Host

[Charmera]

What are these magic abilities ? Like, what are their effects and such.

Pact with an other
Soul Melding
Spirit Host

Right sorry, I should have made them clear.

Soul melding: Allows you to meld souls with a magical creature, artefact or construct. Gaining some of their traits. For example, Someone melding with a dragon could breath fire and grow wings on command. However you may only meld with one thing and your stuck with it for the rest of your life. In the magic focus section you have to detail what you melded with and what it does for you. This is done intentionally

Spirit Host: You may host the spirit of the dead which died a horrible death. You gain abilities based on how they died, however the Spirit is still inside and you can allow it to take control of your body for a massive power boost. In the magic focus section you have to detail who you host and a short bio for them (2-3 sentences) and what the spirit does for you. This is done unintentionally as spirits are accidentally sucked into children when they are born.

Pact with an Other: Others live in another dimension. They represent vague concepts like time and morality. They can't directly influence events in the world, however they come to certain people they select when they are about to die and give them a choice, continue to die or sign over your soul in a pact, gaining magical powers based on which Other came to you. In the magic focus section you have to detail who you Other and a short description for them (2-3 sentences) and what the Other does for you.

Magic Type APP:
Name: Black Ice
Origins: The discovery of this magic started out purely as an accident. In a training battle between an ice sorcerer and a lightning sorcerer at a given point conditions were met close enough to create black ice. An ice and lightning attack clashed in such a way the area they clashed was covered in Black Ice. The ice glowing with a dark light and it's surface adorned with a shifting darkness was most intriguing. As this was far from the perfection of true Black Ice magic, the Black Ice shook and trembled horribly until the ice exploded and the lightning trapped inside arced around it.
(The reason it is black is because the ice is meant to contain lightning, which creates light, it pushes away the light around it.)
Class: Sorcerer / Sorceress
Abilities: Black Ice is hollow ice with lightning trapped inside of it. Once the ice melts, breaks or was simply weak enough the lightning inside makes a violent escape causing an explosion with an electrical arch around where the ice was.
Drawback: Make the ice to strong for the lightning caught inside and it will not go off easily, on the other hand make the ice to weak for the lightning inside and it will explode in the caster's hands.
It requires both knowledge of ice and lightning magic causing the sorcerers / sorceresses that use this magic to be weaker at these individual magic than one who has focused solely on one form.

The character APP:
Name: Selena Darnia
Age: 20
Race: Half-Arechena, Half-Human
Appearance:
Picture and outfit human form.
Spider form
An extra picture of spider form
Class: Sorceress
Magic Focus: Black Ice, as she has a stronger affinity for Ice than Lightning magic she has placed her focus more on making the lightning shatter the ice in a way that fragments of ice fly all around the point of origin than the lightning shocking everyone around the point of origin. So wile the lightning is still hurtful it is weaker than the standard Black Ice user and only harmful at close range. But unlike other Black Ice users with her the ice shards flying around can be very damaging.
Faction you will be in once you graduate: Inerans
Bio: Selena always had a knack for misleading others for her own means, whether it was getting what she wanted or simply disliking someone to the point of wanting to get rid of them it always worked. Selena is never happy though even when succeeding in a plan she is already thinking of a next plan, she is so power hungry that she never feels satisfied with anything she gains and is never able to live in the moment. Because of this she has an intense hate for anyone who has found, as the expression says, true happiness. For this reason she also has a great hatred for her parents, aspecially her father who is a fullblooded human, she looks down on humans and for that reason also hates a part of herself.
Personality: She's a trickster, she can become anyone she wants in a way. If need be she shall play the act of a woman in distress, or a lost girl, or ... Wile in fact she is a very cold and close to heartless person that desires only power and riches. In her true nature she is vicious, straight to the point, calculated and as coldhearted as the ice she commands.
Faults: She's never really happy, always calculating, always planning, always playing a part. So she truly hates people that are happy as she seems unable to be happy. As calculated as she is she doesn't like playing roles to long, so in her eagerness to get it over with she tends to do some minor slip ups down the road if it takes to long to fulfill her plans, major slip ups if her plans aren't working out as fast as she thought.
Anything else of note: Not that I can think off right now.
