Avenio sits upon the brink of revolution. The country is ruled by a senile, old Magician with an archaic system of nobility based upon the few talented compared to the majority. All power in the land belongs to those who are born with innate magical abilities, shown by the law that only those of Magician or Sorceress level of power can inherit the throne.
The tenth King of Avenio, known as the King of Storms, is being pressured to hand off his throne. King Menander has reluctantly summoned all those who may compete for the throne to the royal palace of Gei, to appease his nobles and begin testing.
At this time in Avenio, there exists 13 people whom qualify as Magician level, including Menander himself. While this competition plays itself out in the palace, the peasants of Avenio grow increasingly disatisfied, as only a misfotune of birth seperates them from the nobility.
Important information:
Nobility is comprised of those born with "magic", an innate ability to control something around themselves. Around 25% of the population is born with this magic, and only very few of those are classified as Magicians or Sorcereresses. The rest of the nobility is refered to as Wizards.
Talent tends to be inherited. Those of Magician level normally have kids of Magician level. Those that have no talent normally have kids with no talent. But, this is not always the case.
This is a politic setting. Remember you can use your power to negatively affect another person, but the chances are that you will be retaliated against. You should think very hard about an action before you take it.
Nobody lives in a vacuum. Most likely you KNOW the other main characters. Play like it.
The country of Avenio is an island, with the castle of Gei in the center. Nobody in living history has ever entered, though the king has the ability to banish people from the country.
Anyone on the throne is known as King. Nobility is refered to as follows. Nobody in Avenio has a last name.
King: "King of Storms" "King Menander"
Sorceress: (we'll use Idea with Kate as the name as an example) "Sorceress of Idea" "my lady Sorceress" "Sorceress Kate"
Magician: (we'll use Time with Mike as the name as an example) "Magician of Time" "my lord Magician" "Magician Mike"
Wizard: (we'll use Chuck as the name) "my lord Wizard" "Wizard Chuck"
Playable main characters:
Sorceress/Magician of Time:
The magic controlled by this character allows her/him to jump three days forward in time, or three days backwards. If the character jumps three days forward, and spends two days there, they can only return to the time they jumped PLUS two days. So they cannot use this to go forward in time and see what happens and return at the same exact time, usually.
Sorceress/Magician of Illusion:
The magic controlled by this character allows her/him to cast illusions within a limited range of herself/himself. These illusions appeal to all five senses and cannot be really differentiated from reality, but they are severly deteriorated if they are known as being an illusion.
Sorceress/Magician of Metamorphises:
The magic controlled by this character allows her/him to change her/his own form. This is limited to being animate. If they change into something inanimate, they would not be able to change back.
Sorceress/Magician of Information:
The magic controlled by this character allows her/him to know the history of anything, animate or inanimate, by touching it. They also have several useful spells and items to use to find out what is happening without touching anything.
Sorceress/Magician of Idea:
The magic controlled by this character allows any idea posed to them to become true. The disadvantage of this would be that it has to be someone who does not know of their power. If this character becomes King, their power shall effectively become useless.
Melody, Harmony, Rythme:
These three characters are a special case as their power is only classified at Sorceress/Magician level when they are using them together. When used together, they are able to create anything, animate or inanimate, or enable any outcome that they would like to come true by playing music. Seperately, they have no power.
Side note: These character's must be female. Their names are the same as their power. And they are only ever refered to as "my lady Melody" "my lady Harmony" or "my lady Rythme". They can only inherit the throne together.
Sorceress/Magician of Creation:
The magic controlled by this character allows her/him to create any inanimate object. This is not limited by size, but it always creates in their hand.
Sorceress/Magician of Immortality:
The magic controlled by this character allows her/him to live forever. Infact, as far as the history of Avenio, this character has been alive. When their body dies, they can assume whichever body they like, forcing the other out. They do not keep the powers of who they took over, and they dare not take over another of magician or sorceress level as they have the ability to fight back.
Sorceress/Magician of Transformation:
The magic controlled by this character allows her/him to transform any animate thing into any other animate thing. Just because they transform anything, does not mean they control it. The beetle they transformed into a lion is just as likely to attack them as the person they would like it to attack.
Note: If you would like to suggest another Sorceress/Magician level power and character, I will take it into consideration. But remember, you have to limit yourself as well. Also, if you create a Wizard character, I must approve their power, to make sure that it is appropriate for their level of power. You may make a Wizard level daughter/son of the King, but not any of Magician level.
Nonplayable main characters:
(Mine, in other words. That I will use to direct RP and keep people in line. Use these as your sample character sheets as well.)
Name: Menander
Titles: Magician King of Storms.
Age: 74
Appearance: Menander is a wrinkled old man, with hardly any hair remaining on his head. His eyes are a light blue, having faded over time as he becomes more blind. He is often wrapped in robes of state with an impressive crown.
Magic: He has the ability to call storms into any place, even into a closed room. Avenio prospered in Menander's prime with his ability to control the weather for optimal crop usage. With his more developed senility, he does not use his powers for this anymore, and storms often rage out of control in the land because of such.
History: Menander's uncle, King Mendolis, was the Magician of Fire. He ruled during a time of great civil war in Avenio, which killed many peasants and very few nobles. Menander inherited a very unstable throne, but was given the kingdom's love because of his power and choosing to use it to help everyone, though he never granted the peasants equality.
Many people in the land do not wish to see Menander off the throne, because they worry that there will be more instability and civil war. Though everyone is well aware of his growing senility.
Menander never married, and has never had a Queen at his side. People believe that his Captain of the Guard is his daughter, though it is only a rumor and has never been proven.
Name: Kel
Titles: Captain of the Guard, Sorceress of Void.
Age: Guessed at around 24 or 25, but she has been in the castle as Captain of the Guard for 20 years.
Appearance: Dark brown eyes drill holes into any around her while brown hair hangs in limp curls around her shoulders. This Captain does not bother to wield a weapon as her magic is enough. She wears a simple linen gown, dyed a snow white which betrays her position as Captain and Sorceress.
Magic: She has the ability to void any magic around her, hence why she is indisposable to the King. Any Illusions around her are instantly disposed. The human transformed into a mouse is transformed back to being a human. Information cannot be gained from her or about her. In effect, she cancels out everything at will.
History: Kel appeared in the palace as a baby, already subconsciously cancelling out all magic. As soon as she could walk, she followed the king constantly, and was soon promoted to Captain of the Guard. Nobody knows but everybody suspects the King has used her to kill. Having been in the castle for 20 years, she knows much more than anybody suspects, but hardly ever says.
Infact, it is quite rare to hear her speak. Is this what she wanted from her life? Nobody has ever gotten close enough to know.
OOC rules:
Laying down the law!
1. You cannot kill another character. Feel free to do anything else, remembering that you will have consequences.
2. You may only play one main character (Anybody of Sorceress/Magician level), but any amount of secondary characters.
3. You may only post once a day per character. I know this seems unfair, but I have seen many people get left behind in an RP because they can't post all day, while two characters get way ahead.
4. I reserve the right to change any RP that you do. Example: If you pull out a gun, I will void that.
5. Have fun. But, remain in character.
