Light Vs Dark: Wonderful Wizards and Malevolent Mages (IC)

Postby Nuridia » Mon Sep 19, 2016 7:02 pm

This is based HEAVILY on mythology, Harry Potter and basically any magic myth you can think of. My family list is a work in progress, if you wanna app one than go ahead.



In the world, there are places like the United States, Canada, Egypt and all such other familiar places. It seems like the typical, humans, animals, just things like that. But there also exists a force which most in the world have heard of, but think it's fake or just a legend.
Magic, that mystic invisible force that is so irreversibly tied in with the supernatural, that force that most humans don't believe exists except in their little card tricks.

However, magic is very much assuredly a real thing. And they have creatures and humans, yes humans, that possess it.They usually call themselves wizards, witches, sorcerers, mages, it's all the same although some prefer one term better than the others. Magic once flowed freely all throughout the world and magic and non magical people lived together in harmony. But then the non magical humans started to fear their magic neighbors, and the otherworldly creatures that lived alongside them. They turned on them, things like the Salem trials happened, the stonings, the burnings, the shootings. It had driven the magical community underground, and with them disappeared even the knowledge of magic from the minds of ordinary humans.

But magic still survives, although it is normally hidden from the paranoid inbred fear of ordinary humans. There are still magical people being born every day all around the world. Some are even born to non magical parents families, these are called the Synith-born, Synith being the word for non magic people in Greek. These magical people are something of an enigma, neither fully accepted as "true" witches and wizards or cast out as monsters by their ordinary families. This isn't always the case but it is an overwhelming majority, just like normal children they need some place to go.

The Lethifold Wars were fought two hundred years ago, a light versus dark battle that raged throughout history. Of course the light prevailed, and the dark was battered by their losses.

Mrs. Maria Maverty, and her husband Jace Maverty came up with a solution. To preserve the future of their world as well as protect the children that are born like them, they converted a castle into a school where young witches and wizards could be trainee and be good upstanding citizens of the magical community, Maverty's School of Magic.


However, not all thought this was a wonderful idea. The magical families that supported the Dark, the ones that didn't turn, felt some type of way about being ostracized and forced to give up their way of life. Now these mages are the baddest of the bad, the ones that children are told about to scare them, their knowledge of dark magic and crimes committed against Synith and mage alike sent shock waves throughout the entire magic community. They decided to build a school of their own, a school that churned out more dark wizards and wicked witches than most have even seen before. This school, a grand imposing castle settled in the mountains of Germany, founded by Nerissa and Loran Vallor, the Vallor Academy of the Dark Arts. This is where the evil mage in training goes to learn his or her craft...this place is kept out of sight by powerful enchantments but that doesn't mean it's invisible. Each school has been heard off, the Maverty kids are often threatened to be sent there if they're naughty.

Now there is no fixed rule, not all who attend Maverty's are good just like not all who attend the Academy are evil. Some students are forced by their parents to go to these places and their true alignment doesn't match their studies. Some are figuring themselves out, some are simply neutral and are just going here to learn magic. These two schools have been at war for centuries, and soon enough a greater enemy will come and threaten them all. Which path will you choose? Will you be a good mage like Merlin, will you choose the path of evil, will you simply be neutral or are you trying to convince somebody to turn around?


Families
These are some of the most powerful magical families throughout the magical world, whether Dark, Light or Neutral, not all of them walk their family path. Many get disowned because of this and their customs are vastly different, what is certain is the amount of influence and power they all hold is massive. You can app a family, I'm just making a few myself.
Vallor Family- The Vallor family is one of the most well known and the most powerful dark magical family in Germany. They're the ones who founded the Academy and their history is so steeped in the dark arts that the name has become synonymous with it. Hesperus Vallor, the founder of this ancient House was the legendary foe of Merlin, and one of the most evil wizards that ever existed. He, along with some members of the other families nearly plunged the world into a thousand years of night. They are wealthy and feared, and it's said that Vallor children are "born bad" but that's not the case. With their last name being such a stigma, people born of this House feel that they have no other choice most of the time.

This house had produced good wizards, such as the founder of Giles' Hospital, Giles Vallor. Or Theresa Vallor, who discovered a cure for the red plague but they are so lost in the shadow.of their ancestors that people hardly remember them. They control the power behind the throne aspect and dark artifact aspect of the most dark operations, having forged many artifacts and wands for the dark side during the Lethifold wars and having served as foot soldiers. Bravery is their motto, and cowardice is seen as a great disgrace resulting in being cut off from the family. Their colors are blue and silver, and their coat of arms is a centaur dressed in armor wielding a wand in one hand and a sword in the other.



Letifer Family-Founded in Italy in 987 and migrated all over the world when Draco Letifer married Esther Aldermann and went to Germany, founding the German branch of the house. That branch is currently the main branch, although they've never left their Tuscan roots. Most famous for their successful sack of Naples during the 1400s, they briefly ruled before being ousted and the leaders executed, but that hasn't slowed them down any. Called the "dealers of death", this dark family has often carried out the bloodier operations of the Dark Lords of the past, even producing quite a few infamous dark leaders themselves. Boeis Letifer was Dark Lord during the Lethifold wars, and he's currently the most infamous Dark Lord in history. Their official slogan is "dead men tell no tales".

Second only to the Vallors, the Letifers have been open dark wizards for generations. Letifer is Latin for "deadly" or "lethal", and they certainly live up to their surname. While not the most powerful family they are the wealthiest, among dark wizards the Letifers have the most gold in their coffers and know how to use it. A secretive family, they work in the shadows and they dabble heavily in the arcane and mysterious. They hoard knowledge like dragons hoard treasure, they have to have the biggest library of forbidden texts and spells this side of west Europe. They are great at maneuvering themselves into positions of power, either by assassination, intimidation or bribery. They've had high profile government positions all throughout their existence, a Letifer has always had a chair in the Parliament despite numerous attempts to remove them.
Their colors are red and green, their coat of arms is a black widow spider crawling up a dagger that is inscribed with the Latin phrase Ubi ego sum, letale invisibilium. (I am deadliest when I am unseen)


Aberdeer Family- Originating in Scotland, the Aberdeer are much more covert with their a lighten than their openly dark fellows. They prefer to attract their flies with honey rather than vinegar.




Maverty Family- An Anglo-Irish Wizarding family, this is one of the most well known families among the Wizarding circles. A member of the Sacred Circle and the Order of the Wands, they are the most powerful and influential through Europe.

Valic Voltaire

Valid was panting from the jog from the airport to Maverty's. He stood, sweating, right in front of the shielding, and stepped through. It was... interesting to pass through multiple shields. Valic had heard of shields that only blocked things at certain speeds, and they felt like sludge. This shielding however, felt like a curtain of air. I've gotta meet whoever set these up Valic thought to himself. He now stood visibly, in front of the massive school. He stood in awe, but then decided to wait where he was incase someone else came through. He opened up his Deathtouch tome and began reading/writing/editing.

Jean-Marie was jogging through Düsseldorf, making sure he has enough time to go take in scenery before he has to head to class. Jean-Marie happened to be living in his original family home(The original Harsch household), which was close to Maverty. Jean-Marie decided that he needed to head to class rather than admire the scenery. 10 minutes later, Jean-Marie stood in front of Maverty, prepared to pass through the shields. Surpraised by how easy it felt to pass through them, he decided to move to the right of the shield he just passed through, and admire the school's wonderful architecture.

He assumed a defensive stance, with dark flames leaping off his hands. "Who are you? Are you a student?"

"Still though, who are you?"

Tatika Maverty
The Headmistress of Maverty's School of Magic waited in the Great Hall for the students to arrive, most of the staff was here at least so that was good. Sitting at the head table with her teachers, she absently straightened her peacock green robes and scanned the Hall, some students were here at least because they lived here. Why somebody would live outside of a boarding school when that means it'll take longer to get here was beyond her.

Nex Letifer
In Vallor's Academy, a young witch was gliding through the dark granite halls, her curtain of black hair falling into icy green eyes. All around her there were other students in dark gray and blue robes, carrying their grimoires or trailing along behind their pets going about their day. She needed to get into potions class, they were going to learn to bottle Umor Mortis today, or Liquid Death. One of the deadliest and most forbidden potions known to the magical world and the best part is that it left no trace. Those wimps at the Maverty school wouldn't dream of touching something like this, well tough on them. Her king cobra, Apep was slung around her shoulders as she walked the climbing staircase.

"I have no idea... actually..." Valic runs around for a little but, looking at the ground. After a while, he found the right spot. He stared at it intently, and began to chant.

creator of life, bringer of death
guide and friend
return to me, this wild bird
that it may fly again


As Valic chanted, the spot started to be excavated like a tornado was fixed there. At the words, "Return to me, this wild bird," a few bird bones flew out of the pile and the excavation stopped. When Valic finished with the words, "Fly again", physical black magic now made up the rest of the bird's bones, and it landed, and hopped around a little before jumping up to Valic's bleeding hand. "Find where I'm supposed to be." Valic said to the bird, and it flew off. Valic turned to Jade and said, "The bird should take care of that, assuming it doesn't get shot down...". Valic now noticed the blood on his hand, and he wiped it on the grass.

"I dunno. I just got here." Valic says. Just then, the bird flies back over to Valic, and lands on his shoulder. It starts beeping in a way that Valic understands, and he starts moving toward the Great Hall. "Bird's back." Valic told Jade. "Follow me."

Xavier Zaroney
Professor Zaroney, or Professor Z as his students called him, sat at the head table looking out as the students began to fill the Great Hall. His navy blue robes were hard to miss with their silvers lunar designs that covered them, making him quite easy to pick out amongst the other staff. He adjusted the neck of the robes awkwardly he hated wearing these this, though it was a custom amongst the European wizards, and couldn't wait for the night to end so he could go back to wearing his tailored suits. He got up and walked over to Tatika, "I'm going to go round up the rest of the students so we can get this going." He left the great hall and went towards the main entrance where he saw three students that looked to be attempting to get to the Great Hall. "I assume you're all new, I'm Professor Zaroney, please follow me," he said as he lead them to the hall.

Valic sees the Great Hall with a man with some rather constricting robes standing in front of it. "I assume you're all new, I'm Professor Zaroney, please follow me," Valic looks over his shoulder to see the bird disintegrate bones and all. The dark magic did that to whatever was left of the body to try and recharge with some of the residue life left in the body. He looked down at one of his smaller amulets around his neck. The purple one didn't glow as brightly as before. Valic sighed. It wasn't hard to perform the recharging ritual, it just took a long time. The professor started walking away now, so Valic ran to catch up.

Yohun von Schwartzvald

Yohun sat in the Grand Hall, waiting with the other members of the Maverty faculty for the remaining students to arrive. The troll stood quite a bit taller than his peers and students, which along with his appearance made him stand out. Of course the scarlet robes did not make him any less conspicuous. Some of the new students certainly could not help staring, not that he faulted them for it. A troll was not something many young wizards see and Yohun had grown accustomed to this behavior over the years. He noted that Professor Zaroney was leaving the Hall, no doubt to coral some students. He rose his hand to stroke his beard, the robe's sleeve hanging off his arm as he did so. He made a mental note to talk with the Headmistress later. There had to be some way to get these students here more quickly. For now, however, he resigned himself to sitting in silence.

"We don't encourage using Necromancy so liberally here young man, not all the staff are so accepting of such practices," Xavier said turning around to look at Valic. Among the light community Necromancy was seen as a dark practice, and was usually associated with the products of Vallor Academy. He himself didn't think to favorably of it, and was going to keep an eye on this child; Vallor had sent is children as spies before and that ended rather badly, Xavier didn't want a repeat of that. "You all look a little old to be new students, where are you from?"

I was homeschooled by my parents, although I was sent to Vallor multiple times…
