All spots are reserved, so this is now closed.


Just a heads up, I am very picky about who I will be letting in here. PM me if you are interested and what part you'd be interested in, then we'll discuss it. There will be pairs here, so you'll need to be willing to work with your partner, PM them to ask if you need to.

Reservations are posted next to the positions as I allow people into the rp, so pay attention to what is open as it goes up. If I accept someone for a spot but others ask about it before I post it, I'll let you guys know through PM after I do post it.


Note: A big thanks to FredKrug for his help in tweaking out a lot of the details in this rp, :D

Note 2: Thanks also to Drake for additional physical abilities for the guardians. :)

Five girls, witches with their own specialties in two types of magic,
(one elemental, one ability)
are brought together, followed by their guardians
(who have an animal form) ,
to find a way to rid themselves of this curse that haunts their steps;
of this prophecy that guides their way and decides their destiny.


Or so it says. There’s one little mix-up.
One pair is backwards:
The guy is the one with the magic,
The girl is the guardian.


In any case, the five with the magic have to work together
for this curse to be lifted and this prophecy outwitted.
Each one has their own place within this circle,
all elements necessary,
forcing them to need each other to finish this.

Name: Crevan Faxon

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Witch: Monica Sylph

Animal Form: Fox - A dark brown, bordering black fur color, and his eyes are a metallic silver, in the stead of his normal hazel grey eyes as a human.

Ability: Enhanced Fighting Skills

Appearance: Chestnut brown hair, that reaches to shoulders, often pulled back into a low ponytail, with his bangs hanging across his face in a side swept sort of fashion. Stands at 6'4", he has hazel grey eyes, that seem to stare right though you to your thoughts. Angular face, and a crooked nose, from getting it broken it seems. There are small scars covering his face, he doesn't talk about them and ignores when people bring them up. His build is muscular, without it being over-bearingly so, just someone that is healthy and in shape. His legs are equally scarred as his face, but he never speaks of those either. Has the Guardians Mark (A Triquetra) on his chest, where his heart is, the name Monica is Intertwined in it in a flowing script, reminiscent of the wind blowing.

Short Bio: A goof and joker, often is making a silly statement when he can't find anything to say at the moment. Very caring, and is a bit more emotional then most people. Awkward around girls that he finds attractive, and mostly treats anyone he trusts as a good friend. Trusts easily, but when betrayed isn't one to just let the person walk back again like nothing happened. When he is defending his charge, he seems completely different, he is serious, the strong silent type almost. He is cold and calculating at all times, though you can't tell when he is acting normal. He is smart, and very learned actually, but doesn't like to seem snobbish, as he hates people like that himself.

Bad Jew
Name: Riffael Wilde

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Witch: Ashia Ann Dominica

Animal Form: A beautiful, black thoroughbred stallion with a white star on his face. His mane and tail are both black, and his back-left hoof has a sock of white hair above it.

Ability: Heightened Senses/Awareness

Appearance: Riff is just under six feet tall. He's a bit of a pretty boy, and he knows it. He's leanly muscled, and he has some very nice legs on him. His hair is shoulder-length and black, and his eyes are dark brown, nearly black. He matches his animal form quite well. As for his Guardian's Mark, it is located right in the center of his forehead where the white star is in his animal form. He tends to style his hair so the mark is concealed, though, along with the name inside it.

Short Bio: There isn't much to say about Riff's past. He's done quite a bit of traveling, prefering not to stay in any one place for too long. He'll be quite loyal to his witch, and he'll take his job as her guardian quite seriously. He takes everything seriously, really. He's a real stick in the mud, and he acts like he's the toughest person in the world. In actuality, though, he's a bit of a coward. When the going gets tough, he gets going in a hurry. He's takes after his animal form in that respect. His fight or flight response is defaulted to flight, but when he does feel the need to stick around, he does so in his animal form. He doesn't think he can accomplish anything in his human form, and he honestly prefers to live as a horse when he can help it.

Name: Monica Sylph
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Guardian: Crevan Faxon (Weird Sister)
Element: Wind
Ability: Invisibility

Appearance: Monica is about 5’2”, 138 lbs. Her hair is a dark blonde in a short, messy pixie cut. She has a sort of normal white skin tone, not too dark or pale. She has a cute, innocent face, though she generally looks kind of sad and afraid. Her eyes are a mottled blue. She has a fairly curvy, soft figure, with fairly large breasts. She doesn’t have muscle, at least none that shows. She has thin arms, her thighs a little shapely, though. Monica wears mostly baggy clothes. She wears a deep green tank top, which shows a tiny bit of her chest. She wears a big baggy white hoodie with a zipper in the front. She wears big baggy cargo pants, which are held up by a white belt. Her white tattoo is in between her shoulder blades, but she doesn’t even know it’s there.

Personality: Monica is not exactly the social butterfly. She’s a pretty quiet, generally avoiding contact with people, if she can help it. She is the kind of person who tries to blend into the background whenever she becomes the center of attention, which she does fairly easily. It takes her awhile to warm up to people, but once she does, she’s slightly more open with them, though she never really talks a lot. Monica’s pretty intelligent, but she doesn’t like to show it. She’s fairly nervous and easily embarrassed, especially around guys. She doesn’t like fighting or hurting people, and even if she doesn’t know the person well, always seeks to help them if they are hurt, so long as they aren’t trying to kill her.

Short Bio: Monica came from a fairly wealthy family. Though she was given many opportunities, she had a fondness for magic that she couldn’t quite shake, despite the immense pressure from her parents to do so. They were owners of a law firm and a medical clinic, both of them making a large bit of money. However, Monica couldn’t restrict herself to such unimaginative ways of thinking. With magic, she could experiment, create, and learn, not to mention shut herself off from the world. She never made many friends, most not liking to accept the fact that she was a witch. As such, it was no surprise when Monica got fed up with her life and ran away.

Monica fled to New Orleans, a sort of home for her kind, if one could call it that. Still, she didn’t have any money, as her parents had never given much, as they knew she would spend it on the wasteful magic stuff. When she got there, she ended up having to live off the streets, which didn’t suit her very well. She didn’t like having to fight for a living, but she liked it more than getting attacked by her parents. She eventually ran into Ashia Ann Dominica while Monica was invisible, who, after a very long, drawn out conversation, convinced her to stay with her.

Name: Joren Steele
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Witch: Vivianne Jane Winterfield

Animal Form: An Eagle, standing at roughly 100 cm tall with a 150 cm wingspan. His feathers are dark brown shot through with dark red and black in jagged patterns, which originate at where his shoulders end and his wings begin. His eyes are uniform pale blue, and his beak is dull yellow with black on the hook.

Ability: Enhanced Dexterity

Appearance: Standing at 5'11", his skin is tanned dark, with bright blue eyes that are often unnerving to catch a glare from. He is fairly thin, with not much muscle, although he can be surprisingly strong to those who underestimate him. He has a shoulder-length mop of pale blonde hair that he keeps out of his face with the aid of a leather headband. He will have the Triquetra placed square between his shoulder blades, with Vivianne's name looped in and around it in flowing script, which looks akin to a winding river.

Personality: Joren is a very energetic person; he can rarely keep still, and is usually moving around, whether it be pacing or handsprings. He is a natural acrobat, and often his travelling involves many flips, handstands, and other types of off-balance movement. He often speaks too quickly for other people to follow, and so usually has to repeat himself, purposefully talking slower than is necessary to make sure people understand him. His emotions often change as quickly as his speech, and he can be observed going from happy and jovial to deadly serious and quiet in an instant.

Short Bio: A New Orleans native, Joren has grown up on the streets of the city. Not literally; he had a pretty average childhood, except for he never had any friends. He was always that kid who was picked last for everything, even though there was no reason. He's not an unattractive guy, he's rather intelligent, and because he is an acrobat he's actually quite fit, and always has been. Something about him just set other peoples' teeth on edge, so they stayed away from him for the most part.

This was/is fine with him; he prefers the lone wolf style to anything else. He even took up an almost unheard-of style of martial art, Capoiera, to further distance himself from the rest of the world. The dojo that he takes lessons in is used for multiple martial arts, and he often catches glimpses of the other students coming in or leaving the facility.....

Sorry, everyone.. my power poofed on me in the middle of everything and I didn't get all the info up beforehand...

The bonds between the Guardian and their Witch aren't fully there, yet. As I'll be explaining in the Curse/Prophecy spoiler up there, the curse/prophecy hasn't been activated yet... So, the pairs can know each other, if you want, but the intricate bonds between the pairs haven't been forged yet...

To explain a little more about what I just said about the bonds not being totally there right away...

The first few posts of the witches will be them doing their rituals, which accidentally activate the prophect/curse and, as a result, the bonds between the pairs.

Nothing special needs to be done within the rituals. Just have them setting up an altar somewhere, likely at night in a clear spot so they can see the moon. Just a meditation session and and accidental .... spike of their elemental power. The spike will happen to them all at the same time, which is what starts everything. Once the spike of power stops, feel free to close the circle/ritual and head off, or whatnot.

As the bonds activate, ALL of the characters will likely lose their breath for a few moments. Then, the witches will be able to move but the guardian's will likely be in a frenzy. The bonds will be activated and their animal parts will be stronger than before.

Guardians, it is up to you whether or not your character is aware of their animal side all the time or not. But, once the bonds are fully activated, they'll kick into gear and you'll be fully aware of them.

Name: James Cowley (refuses to answer to James, will only answer to Jack)

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Witch: Marie Lawrence

Animal Form: In his animal form, Jack takes the appearance of a crow. He pretty much hates having to be a crow because he considers it such an ugly and annoying creature. In his animal form, the guardian mark is on the back of the crow. The feathers are entirely black but for the guardian mark, as is the beak, and the eyes are a rather dull--you guessed it--black.

Ability: Enhanced strength

Appearance: Jack is not exactly what one would call very handsome--at least, he certainly wouldn't; he often scowls when he sees his own reflection. He has hair that falls to his shoulders in curls (he insists it is 'wavy', and he insists it is black though it is actually very, very dark brown; even at close inspection it appears black) and his eyes are a very dark brown; from a distance they could be mistaken as black. Jack stands at 6'2; his build is not without muscle but also rather slender, belying his true enhanced strength.

His skin is naturally not particularly pale, though it is clearly not tanned. On his face, light remnants of acne can be seen on his cheeks, a constant source of annoyance to Jack. His face is small and strong-built, and it can often be seen with a scowl or a frown on it; rarely is it that one can see an actual smile grace Jack's face.

Short Bio: Jack Cowley was not born in New Orleans; rather, he was born in city of Surrey. However, his family later moved to New York when he was five years old, and then again to the city of New Orleans only two years later. He was an only child, with parents who cared for and loved their son; in other words, he had a pretty good family by all accounts.

From his youth, Jack was known as a very serious and no-nonsense child, though not nearly to the degree he is now. Though he had a good life and knew it, Jack found himself discontented with the 'smaller' things in his life; though he certainly had it better than countless others his age, there were always small things for Jack that went wrong, or didn't work out, and that ended up changing him, even if it was something minor. The girl he liked in high school was not interested and was dating someone else, which more or less destroyed his confidence in such things; he entered school early and so was not able to drive while everyone else around him was already driving, so Jack felt envious of his friends and came to feel almost inferior because of it; he tried to pick up the guitar but every time he made a mistake he grew impatient and angry and, ultimately, he believed he was making no progress at all with it. Small things, perhaps, but they built up until Jack came to expect everything he went through with to somehow go wrong or turn out badly.

At nineteen years old, Jack has begun living on his own and it was only very recently that he became aware that there was something within him, some latent ability of which he was not aware--perhaps from the fact that he found himself able suddenly to lift heavy objects that he knew (given that he'd never really worked out) he should not be able to lift. He is not fully aware of his abilities, but he knows there is something there; Jack, of course, is not about to complain about his new found powers, but he is rather curious as to where they came from...

Personality: Jack Cowley in a word would be pessimistic. To elabourate on that, Jack can't help but dwell on things that could go, and have gone wrong. For him, the glass isn't just half empty--it probably contains something disgusting. Whatever his past has given him, Jack expects everything he does to go wrong somehow--he almost gets disappointed when it doesn't go wrong, so used is he to having nothing go his way.

With people, Jack is a difficult person to get along with, and even more difficult to really get to know. Awkward and standoffish at best, cold and irritable at worst, Jack tends to offend others with his behaviour without even really realising it. Because he thinks he is so terrible at socialising with others, he actively tries to avoid meeting people he doesn't really know. Only with his 'friends' (and even then perhaps acquaintances is a more appropriate term) does Jack loosen up a bit. He becomes more talkative, but much of what he says is sarcasm, and sometimes he unwittingly says something rude, only to realise it some time later; he has been called an asshole more than once.

Perhaps his behaviour stems from the fact that he actually is constantly worried that he has done something wrong and ruined his relationship with another person; he is afraid that if he loosens up entirely and tries to act kind and conversational, it will actually push the other person away rather than bring them in. When this happens, Jack doesn't even realise the shift in his treatment of the person in question until later, and then he starts to worry that he somehow messed up. To have Jack suddenly change his behaviour like this towards someone is an indication, even if he himself does not see it, that he wants to get to know someone better and become closer to them.

Jack is a naturally extremely stubborn and proud young man; in an argument, he will continue to argue his point even if he is entirely wrong and he knows it. Furthermore, because of his stubborn pride and need to prove himself to himself and others, if someone picks a fight with him, Jack, being as temperamental as he is and determined to prove he is by no means a 'coward', is likely to flare the entire ordeal out of proportion; this has caused him some trouble in the past.

Going back to his temper, Jack (when alone, anyway) has quite a terrible temper. He does his best to conceal it when near others and does a good job of it, but when on his own his temper can explode--sometimes violently. He has broken many objects and items, some rather precious, simply because his computer lost track of a document or because he lost something important. Of course, breaking something in his anger, depending on how angry he was to begin with, either drives him to calm down and think a bit or grow even angrier. He does a good job of keeping himself under control when others are present, however.

I just noticed how most of you put personality traits into the bio part of the sheet, instead of how they got to the town or learned magic or something... XP So, I added in the spot. Do not worry about going into much detail with the backgrounds, just give a general little bit of something. :P


Oh, and this rp is located in New Orleans, btw. There's just no mess from the hurricane or anything.



Name: Ashia Ann Dominica

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Guardian: Riffael Wilde

Element: Spirit

Ability: Empathy

Appearance: This girl with these eyes and the mark is on inside of her right wrist.

Short Bio: Ashia was born as an only child to her middle class parents, you know--the not rich but not poor bundle, within the city of New Orleans. She got interested in magic at a young age and has been practicing ever since, not that her parents were surprised. She now has her own small house within the city, content with keeping to her quiet lifestyle because of the strength of her empathy powers.

Ashia doesn't live alone, however. During one of her trips through town, Ashia came across Monica Sylph, who had been wandering through the streets in a half-invisible form. She figured the girl to be a witch and, sensing her distraught demeanor, felt compelled to help her. After a lot of convincing, Ashia talked the girl into staying with her while she was in New Orleans.

Personality: Ashia is usually relatively quiet but she's not extremely shy, neither. She loves to read and learn new things, which is usually a good thing as she tends to put the knowledge to good use. Beware making her mad, though, she's got quite the temper when the wrong buttons are pushed and, after taking as much as she can, won't hesitate to lash out at whoever pushed those buttons.

Beautiful Mistake
Name: Marie Lawrence

Age: Twenty

Gender: Female

Guardian: James 'Jack' Cowley

Element: Fire

Ability: Astral Projection

Appearance: Marie stands at 5'3" and it quite unhappy with that news. Her tattoo is placed on between her collarbone and neckline, on the right side. She dismisses it as a very strange birthmark.

Personality: Marie is what you may describe as a "crazy bitch." Not so much the bitch factor, unless you are using that as a gender qualifier, but the crazy part is a definite. The girl is insane, not diagnosed or anything, just insane. She loves to do things that most people would define as life threatening, she says things that most people's minds filter out, and most of all, she doesn't give a rat's ass about it. She is who she is, and she isn't letting anyone stop her.
Aside from the times when you are likely to catch her spinning around as she walks down the sidewalk, she can actually be quite serious as well. Though this side is rarely seen and only seen by those who truly know her. The quiet, serious side of Marie is almost terrifying in contrast to the "normal" Marie, and when she falls into this mode, you know something is up. Here is how you get to really know the girl inside, and she you.
Marie is a worthy and loyal friend to anyone whom she places that label upon. She would never betray any of her loved ones and she'd be the first to sock the lights out of anyone who tried to. A little firecracker when it comes to arguments, especially when it involves something she is passionate about. She prides herself on always winning, maybe because she's the only one who doesn't know when to stop.

Short Bio: Marie grew up in an average every day loving family. She has a mother, a father, and two older brothers. She loves all four of them with all her heart and would die before she let anyone harm them. Her brothers were the ones who taught her to be who she is, in a sense. Through their own teasing ways, they taught her to argue, stand up for what she believes in, and most of all, how to throw a punch. Her brothers are her mentors and best friends. Her parents were a little different though. She loves them still, but they often tried to suppress her uniqueness, which only made it shine a little brighter.
When she came to her parents and told them that she was interested in magic, and had been actively practicing, they were terribly upset. They threw out the entire idea as some foolish game and even now refuse to believe it. It upsets Marie greatly that her own parents would not support her on something she enjoys so much. Once she graduated high school, she moved out and went to college in the New Orleans area. That is where she is now, but she still goes home for breaks to visit her family and her hometown.

I like our range of characters, this should be fun, lol. :)

Those of you that haven't added in the Personality slot and put in a small bio (just something basic, it doesn't have to be fully fleshed out if you don't want), please do that soon. :)

And, guess what? We've got all spots full! :) I do have to edit in the Curse/Prophecy up there and should have it likely tonight. After that, and once we get our other two character sheets (don't feel rushed, guys), we should be able to start soon after. :)

If you were determined enough, yes, you could likely pull off each of those. But, you wouldn't be able to keep it up for long. You'll have the strength for it but not the endurance to go for an extended period of time, unless the witch with you was nice enough to try a spell to let it linger for a while. Even then, though, it wouldn't last for very long. Your body just wouldn't be able to handle all of the strain with it.

Name: Kisa Fayen
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Witch: Michael Corton
Animal Form: Leopard.
Ability: Ironbody

Appearance: Kisa stands at about 5'7" and is probably a little underweight at 112. After all, who has time to eat between class, painting, and work? Am I right? Ehem...either way. Kisa's mark is on her right hip.

Personality: Kisa is friendly and polite to pretty much everyone that she meets, though definitely will not open up about anything important unless her full trust is invested in them. She is very private about her personal life and really will only share it with a person if they’re a close friend. She is strong-willed, stubborn, and loyal to the point of injury if someone has earned it. She has a temper and will only take so much before setting people straight, whether verbally or physically, though it’s more often the first. She likes doing spontaneous things, whether of her own ideas or someone else’s, and more often than not they usually end up being fun memories to look back on. She absolutely loathes being bored and, at times, her attention span can be extremely short. One of the exceptions to her attention span is when she is painting. Hours can go by and she’ll barely register, being the cause for a few classes being missed or her running in half an hour late.

Short Bio: She was born and raised in an average family. She had two older siblings, a brother and a sister, who both managed to go out, graduate from college, become successful and well-off, and establish families. Kisa, however, was the baby of the family and yearned for a quite different life of that of business and settlement. Her calling was to art. Painting, primarily.
She set out looking for a college that was located someplace that was both a change of scenery, but also a place where art was in abundance. Why not go to the other side of the country to the land of jazz, blues, and voodoo? Accepted into a college in New Orleans, she hopped on a plane and headed down. Wanting more space than on-campus housing would provide, she rented an apartment in a…well, sort of shady part of town, but it was cheap and there was running water and privacy. Most of the space is occupied by canvases and art supplies, and the walls and floors are a myriad of colors, which she repeatedly has promised the landlord she’ll clean if and when she leaves. Her income comes from working at a movie store in a much nicer neighborhood and also from selling paintings to passer-bys when she sits and paints near busy walkways on weekends.

And here he is. My apologies in advance to anyone that can draw realistically. This is a rare attempt at it for me. =_=

Name: Michael Corton
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Guardian: Kisa Fayen
Element: Earth
Ability: Psychometry
Appearance: Green mark's on his forehead. Hair is dark brown/black and eyes are hazel/amber.
Posted Image
Personality: If one were to look at Michael, you might be led to believe that he fits his element well. He keeps on a pretense of steady calm and doesn’t seem to let things get to him except in extreme cases. He might seem difficult to approach. However in reality, it is simply that: a pretense. In reality, he can be easily annoyed or angered, is a worry-wart and often gets worked up over even minor issues, letting them dwell in his head for more than might be considered necessary. Anyone that has been his friend for any length of time will know that he’s actually very friendly and cares a great deal for his companions. He dislikes violence, but when push comes to shove, he will still pull his weight and try to put it to an end quickly. Even then, however, he won’t kill humans.

Short Bio: Michael is the oldest of three siblings and took his role as the big brother growing up very seriously. Whenever his little brother or little sister got into trouble, he would go well out of his way to help them, including one major incident in their early teens that led to him going to the hospital with critical injuries. His relationship with his siblings is mixed. His little brother is embarrassed by Michael’s tendency not to get into fights when it’s just him getting in a tough spot and doesn’t quite grasp why his older brother only gets violent when it’s others that he cares about that are in trouble. His sister, on the other hand, is very grateful towards their older brother and is always happy to see him.

His parents, however, are not so happy with their eldest son and only for one reason: his magic. Having been raised as very conservative, they didn’t take too well to the fact that their son started dabbling in the ‘occult.’ Still, it was something that drew Michael to it when he first learned of his magical talent and couldn’t think of parting from it. After it was made clear he wasn’t going to budge, they were quick to send him on his way when he graduated from high school and got accepted into college where he’s learning mostly history and geography and works part-time at a bookstore which doubles as a comic shop. He currently lives by himself in a small apartment. He was sad to have to say goodbye to his siblings, but he nevertheless went. Of course, neither he nor his parents told his siblings why he was really leaving, since they didn’t want them possibly doing the same. Still, Michael and his younger sister Kaily keep in touch on a regular basis.

Other: Likes to read a lot (novels, history books and articles, comics, etc.), practice his magic whenever he’s able, watch documentaries on the various historical channels, go to the movies, and can often be seen sitting on a bench or some other perch with a sketchbook and drawing the scenery around him.

Vivianne Jane Winterfield

Age: Eighteen

Gender: Female

Guardian: Joren Steele

Element:
Water

Power:
Telepathy

Appearance


Personality: A fiercely independent and delightfully sarcastic girl, Vivianne Jane learned to keep her heart at a very good distance from anyone and everyone. Ruthless, yet guarded, apprehensive to put her trust in others, she hides behind a malicious facade, and the stone wall which surrounds her, preventing anyone in their right mind from becoming too close.

Beneath her spiteful and vindictive ways, lies a heart that has been abused and neglected all throughout her life. She's the girl with a simple slight smile upon her face, no vibes given off, no emotions being portrayed, and no affection being felt. The saying "you're an open book," does not suit her. Should someone attempt to get to know her, they would quickly realize how hard she is to read.

She may act like your friend, or say that she likes you, but the truth of the matter is, it's probably a lie. However, she'll be the truest friend with a heart that still knows how to love. Her mind is a labyrinth and what she thinks about is way out of the norm - the way she views life and everything surrounding her is not the same way as anyone else will view it. She's very cynical and sometimes even insanely nostalgic. Driven for the best, she's currently asking for things that no one can give her, but herself.

Short Bio:Vivanne grew up with a Prison Guard as a father and he treated her no different than an inmate of his. But that's exactly what she had been - a prisoner of her household. Her family had been completely closed minded, and she resented them for it. They were unwilling to give anything that they didn't find comfortable or normal a chance and she hated it. Her mother and her got into several heated arguments that ended with Vivianne walking out. It had always been pointless to attempt to express herself, both parents verbally abused her; her father more so than her mother.

She left her parents when she turned seventeen and made way for New Orleans. She studies under Master M.H.Cho in the martial art of Tae Kwon Do. Currently she is a green belt and lives in a small apartment in town.

Alright, guys. I've got some more details for you, thanks to some well asked questions from the lady Neon. :)

The marks on you Guardian's don't show up until AFTER the ritual has been completed. Then, it'll show all the time in your human form and'll be under your fur/feathers when in your animal form.

After the ritual, you will have a very strong feeling that leads you to your specific witch. It'll be a sort of "I'm supposed to stay around you" kind of feeling. Once the pairs are near each other, then the witches will feel similarly.



And, I'm working on the IC post, I promise. Hopefully I'll get it going soon.
