Old Salem (Closed)

[RainbowRian]

So, I had this idea about the Salem Witch trials era, and was wondering... what would it have been like had they had magical powers, like Charmed or Sabrina.  Would anybody be up for a game like that?  Where perhaps it is the burning times and there is one main coven of male and female witches?  Plus some characters could be witchhunters, etc.  The possibilities for fun and unconventional relationships are endless.  Let me know your thoughts.

[Izabella]

I'd be interested in something like this. I love playing a less than good witch. Might be fun to have a mixture of good and bad witches so there tension even within the coven.

Anyway. Color me interested.

[RainbowRian]

Awesome.  Im hoping to get this off the ground.  I will however have to find a Co-GM

[RainbowRian]

The co-gm would be required to help with plot, threads, character approval.. etc.  Also they would need to be able to discuss things with me and things would require both approvals.  That being said I will only give the spot to someone who can keep up with the thread.  I don't want to have to wait two weeks to get an ok on something and me going ahead and approving it and the other GM getting upset.  I know RL happens but thats why people give others a heads up :)

[Izabella]

Sounds lovely. I'll co-gm if you need me. I gm 4-5 games on another site, but if someone else wants the experience I'll move back. ;)

[RainbowRian]

We shall see my dear.  It is just I already am GM-ing a game I feel will get large and I don't want that to effect this if it indeed takes off.  I mean I would be able to make decisions etc, But that GM could post as well as myself (plot-wise)

[Cleo4u2]

I think I have characters for this already. Erm, can I play two? I want twins. One good, one bad...

*flails* All the ideas.

[Izabella]

How fun.... ;)

[RainbowRian]

Yes that could be a possibility.  If enough interest is shown i will list available slots.

[CupidCatt]

Sounds like a fun idea, I'd love to write about a witch character. Maybe somebody based on Tituba (the slave who kinda kick-started the Salem trials)...

[RainbowRian]

Yay! a few more and I will make the forum

[RainbowRian]

Alrighty folks.  Here it is.  Also welcome Cleo as the CO-GM who graciously put this together.

Wanting approval for my twins! XD

Name: Timothy Welsh
Occupation: Doctor
Sect: Coven member
Orientation: Homosexual
Hair: Black
Eyes: Grey with gold flecks
Height: 5' 11"
Appearance: Timothy looks exactly like his brother Gregory. The two men are tall, with sharp, striking features and piercing eyes. There the similarities end, however, with Timothy not having the muscle of his brother. Fair skinned, his eyes and hands are gentle and soft.
Abilities:
Healing: The ability to heal small wounds without effort and an affinity for crystal healing.
Clairvoyance: Grants visions of the future in dreams and through scrying. Not always clear.
Personality: Timothy is a kind soul, always willing to lend a hand or stay up late through the night with a sick child. He's terminally shy, however, the perpetual town bachelor, though few know it's because he has no interest in women.
History: Timothy and Gregory's mother died giving birth to them, leaving them with a mean, drunk father and no one to rely on but each other. Always being the stronger of the two, Gregory took most of the beatings from his father to protect his gentler brother and received from him the only love he'd ever known.

As the two boys grew older, Gregory pushed Timothy into going to school while he took up the chores on the farm. At night, Tim would teach his brother everything he learned until their father came home from the tavern. Finally the old man died. Though rumors abounded about the accident that took his life, no one could prove that either brother had anything to do with it. Not that many tried hard as the man's death was a boon to all.

Shortly after their father died, Gregory and Timothy sold their farm. Tim bought an apprenticeship with the local doctor while Gregory purchased the old Inn and Tavern. The doctor at the time wasn't as superstitious as most folk and quickly realized Tim's gifts for healing. Though he wasn't a member himself, he introduced the boy to the local Coven and he was immediately inducted as an apprentice. Not willing to do anything without his brother, he insisted they allow him to join the Coven as well and, after some time and the realization of Gregory's gifts, they agreed.
Relationships: Brother - Gregory Welsh



Name: Gregory Welsh
Occupation: Tavern Keeper
Sect: Coven member
Orientation: Homosexual
Hair: Black
Eyes: Grey with gold flecks
Height: 5' 11"
Appearance: Gregory looks exactly like his brother Timothy. The two men are tall, with sharp, striking features and piercing eyes. There the similarities end, however, with Gregory having far more muscle than his brother from his time spent on the farm. Skin tanned dark from hours in the sun, his hands are worn and calloused from long work.
Abilities:
Illusional Empathy: The ability to influence people's emotions and make them feel things that they normally wouldn't feel.
Suggestion: The ability to influence people's thoughts with words
Personality: Gregory is a seemingly friendly, pleasant man with a smile and a laugh for everyone. Thought he's courted a few ladies, he has never settled down, always seeming to want something new. Occasionally a hard, cruel glint can be seen in his eyes and his smile will be more mocking than mirthful, but few know him to be purposefully malicious.
History: Timothy and Gregory's mother died giving birth to them, leaving them with a mean, drunk father and no one to rely on but each other. Always being the stronger of the two, Gregory took most of the beatings from his father to protect his gentler brother and received from him the only love he'd ever known.

Shortly after their father died, Gregory and Timothy sold their farm. Tim bought an apprenticeship with the local doctor while Gregory purchased the old Inn and Tavern. Gregory quickly became popular in the town as he spruced up the tavern, imported new ales, brewed his own and generally proved himself nothing like his father. The influence he had always had over people's minds didn't hurt his business either.

When his brother came to him with tales of the Coven, Gregory was at first against the idea. In time he realized the potential such a group had, especially as they taught him how to use and control his own unique abilities.

Also, you may have up to two characters :D at least for now.

[RainbowRian]

The Twins are approved, just find ya some pics before we play :)

[RainbowRian]

Name: Matthew Binx
Occupation: Tailor
Sect: Coven Member
Alignment:Grey Magick
Orientation: Homosexual
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Deep Blue
Height: 5’9”
Appearance: (See Left)
Abilities: Weather Manipulation: He can control and manipulate weather.
Personality: Matthew is a bit conservative.  He is the embodiment of nature.  Calm and loving but when crossed he can be wrathful.
History: He lived quite the normal life.  His childhood was as good as could be expected... that was until his mother and father were both accused of Witchcraft.  They smuggled him to his grandmother who fled with him, but thats when his power manifested.  He watched as his mother and father burned and in his sadness caused a downpour of rain to fall upon their burning flesh, but by then it was too late.

His grandmother took him to a village where a few of her coven resided that was tucked away from the trials, at least for that time.  She too had a gift which was that of healing and growing plant-life.  She died when he turned 18 and he was beside himself. It rained for days.  He inherited all of her books and her small cottage hidden inside the edge of the woods.  He also acquired the small Tailoring shop that had been ran by his grandmother and a few of her friends and became the tailor, A talent that was passed down along with his knowledge of plants and the old ways. 

Although the coven is mainly seen as equal, he is one of its founders.
Relationships: (None Currently)


Approved!

[lenka]

I am also interested with anything got to do with supernatural powers...witches welcomed )0(

Have you all begun anything as yet or can I make a character sheet up?

Any do's or don't's in regards to powers/manipulating one anothers?

[Cleo4u2]

Looks great Rainbow!

Lenka, we have no started yet so feel free to toss up a character sheet for approval! No more than two powers and we will have to approve them. We don't want any one character over powering any of the other characters. Other than that, no violating other player's do's/don'ts.

[RainbowRian]

Merry Meet lenka! )O(

I may or may not make another. Im not sure as of yet but maybe. like his cousin or something because back then alot of it was learned from family and word of mouth was dangerous. 

Quick Quiz: Who knows what altar pentagrams were made of during the burning times?  No cheatingg :)

[lenka]

Merry meet Rainbow and Cleo.

I would presume wood, then again I am going along the lines of white witches..so anything natural that wouldn't harm.
Otherwise I would say Bones? *shrugs*

I will work on a character, but is there a basis to the story line? Like somehow each individual is drawn to this old town, some may live here already, but feel the increase of power as such? I am always open to share idea's anyway..it's always good with group rp's to make sure we are all up to speed :)

We haven't got that far into plot yet. :)  and Wax. Thrown into the fires when the inquisition came knocking

Hmm..this has roused my curiosity

Well come up with a character sheet if you'd like. We are taking up to 13 coven members but then you can also be townfolk, clergy, witch hunter.. etc

[lenka]

perhaps you could juice us with picys of the town?  ::)

[RainbowRian]

I will have to find it tommorrow or something.  Lol this was more to rouse interest once we get enough characters ready to go we will actually make the thread and such.  It would be a basic village

[Cleo4u2]

I'll see if I can find something.

[RainbowRian]

Thanks Cleo im just multitasking badly before bed.

[Cleo4u2]

I figured <3 I'm up way to late as is.

[RainbowRian]

Thank you ;) My wonderful GM Partner :D  We have a couple of things to discuss as well when the time comes.  Like current coven origin and such

[Cleo4u2]

Sleepy brain can search for pictures/maps. Sleepy brain cannot come up with coherent plot XD

[RainbowRian]

As I said. when the time comes haha not tonight ~hugs and takes GM Snapshot~

[Cleo4u2]

Okay, this is a rough draft and, if we keep it, it will be a work in progress. I'll update it as we get new players as everyone is free to claim a home/place of business after their characters are approved. It's going to be a bit of a study, but this is technically a large town for the town with a fair sized industry. From what I understand, anyways.

Note: any buildings in the Important Places area are either not claimed by a player (and open to such) or cannot be owned by any one person. I haven't named the streets...I have to figure out how or even if we need to.

Legend - Important Places

• Ferry Crossing - blue square
• Mill - yellow square
  There are three in town
• Town Hall - red star
  Also serves as the Court House
• Salty Wind Pub - pink circle
• General Store - pink star
• Church - blue star
• Jail - purple star
• Open Air Market - orange L
  Similar to a farmer's market where both local farmers and fisherman can sell their wares
• Mayor's Home - blue circle
• Blacksmith - red circle

Legend - Character Owned Buildings

• Prancing Dog Inn & Tavern - green square
  Owned by Gregory Welsh
• Doctor's Practice - purple square
  Owned by Timothy Welsh
• Tailor - green circle
  Owned by Matthew Binx

If you are planning on owning a business, assume you live in the same place unless that would be impossible. It's generally how things were done then. Also, if I've left out any important buildings (I'm tired @_@) please let me know and I'll add them.

The Town Hall:



I hope that's what you were asking for! ...sleep now...

[lenka]

*grins*
sleep well guys, it was more than I was thinking Cleo :)

[lenka]

Name: Chloe Mistleway
Occupation:  Herbalist (herbal healer) *this is not an ability, just basic knowledge of the use for medicinal..then again she is a witch so she can use her own power to increase potency*
Sect: lone practising witch (she keeps her business her own)
Orientation: straight
Hair: red
Eyes: greeny, blue
Height: 5ft 5


Appearance: She is pale and very slim, but still has a feminine figure. Her hair is usually always down and she feels comfortable within her body. She is quiet nimble when she walks, the grace of a gymnasts shows when she climbs trees and rocky cliffs. She may look shy to anyone who meets her, but there is great courage beneath closed doors.
Abilities:  able to communicate with animals. Another skill is that she is able to read the lies from people, hearing often what is in their minds like an echo when she concentrates on an individual.
Personality: Chloe is a quiet young woman, she is independent and is known to be 'off with the fairys' at times by the town folk. Even though they believe her 'kooky' or strange, they appreciate her skills with any ailments they have. She has a kinship with mother earth, finding it easy to talk to animals as if they were humans. The use of herbs and elixirs helps her with her day to day communication with anyone...finding she has an addiction with a certain concoction she brews.

History: Born in a small town, Chloe's life was one of nurturing and tranquillity. She grew up with a gifted mother and dedicated father, both who cared for her very much. They showed her the gift in the earth around her, how to harness the energy and manipulate it for only good. It was all secrete for the town folks weren't ready for the power of this knowledge. It was a blissful life she was raised in, she was eager to learn more and follow the path of her mother...a white witch.

When she reached the age of twelve, she woke and found her father hanging from the lights in their loft, the mother was lying below his pool of blood, a line seared across her throat  as if she was smiling for her daughter. The image had never left her mind for the past eleven years..some things couldn't be wiped clean with copious amounts of herbal drugs.
She had bought the house back after many years after their death and leaving the country to study abroad. After deciding to lease a small shop so she could become the only local herbalist, she knew her future was to find out the mystery of the past.

Relationships: Chloe is now a lone witch who is trying to unravel the past and find her own way.

She is quiet nimble when she walks, the grace of a gymnasts shows when she climbs trees and rocky cliffs. She may look shy to anyone who meets her, but there is great courage beneath closed doors.
Abilities:  able to communicate with the energy of the earth, she feels the vibrations and of the emotions around her. She is able to read animals very well, but  is more emotional from this type of work and often desires the companionship of them rather than the community. Another skill is that she is able to read the lies from people, hearing often what is in their minds when she concentrates on an individual.

Here are my notes. 

Orientation, She is good alignment by your comment about white witch, but the orientation spot is for sexuality :)

Abilities,  I can see three listed (If I read it correctly), though two was the limit.  And can you please be more specific, such as The feeling of the earth and emotions should be listed as "Empathy" Able to read animals would be a form of "Animal Communication"  Reading Lies in itself would be "Lie Detection" If by itself but being coupled with reading peoples thoughts would be a form of "Telepathy"  If you could just condense that down to two and we can go from there. 

Everything else looks good as far as I can tell, now just wait for Cleo to give you her say.  My current say is it needs revision but it should be no problem. :)

[RainbowRian]

Also a note for everyone.  When the game starts there WILL be certain limits to everyone's abilities to make sure we aren't all gods and goddesses :)

[Cleo4u2]

Same comments on the powers. I understand you probably didn't realize you were combining things, but it really is four abilities and not just two. Also, if she is a healer she would probably have some kind of working relationship with my Timothy since he's a doctor XD

[RainbowRian]

Name: Gwendolyn Warren
Occupation: Candle-maker and Gardener.
Sect: Coven Member
Alignment:Grey Magick
Orientation: Heterosexual
Hair: Dark Blonde
Eyes: Golden Brown
Height: 5’4”
Appearance: (See Left)
Abilities: Telekinesis: Moves things with her mind.  Psychic Electrokinesis:  Can cover her body with an electrical current. Upon physical contact while her gift is in use, depending on the power she puts into it, the person can feel as little as static shock or great enough to cause their knees to buckle and have them on their backs. 
Personality: She may seem a bit shy and conservative at first, but shes actually just taking in her surroundings and analyzing the oncoming situations.  She keeps her craft secret because it keeps her safe but she isn't frail and will protect herself and others.
History:Born to a single mother after her father was killed in a hunting accident,  She had a childhood full of hard work and sacrifice.  She moved to her current residence to be near family she heard she had after her grandmother passed away.  She doesn't know the details of this family but she has made her life and is content with her surroundings and lifestyle.  For now.
Relationships: (None Currently)




Pending Approval from Cleo.

I will prob add more history later.

[CupidCatt]

Name: Itzpa (its-pa)
Occupation: servant to a distinguished merchant family
Sect: independent
Alignment: dark magick
Orientation: bisexual
Hair: dark brown
Eyes: dark brown
Height: 5'6''
Appearance: (see left)
Abilities: Astral projection: she can leave her body and travel to other locations, though she cannot interact with material objects and can only communicate with people telepathically while in the astral (ie. no audible sound is produced). This power of astral projection allows her to have minor telepathic powers while still in her own body, though these are limited to "speaking" in another person's head and not actually entering their memories. She is also sensitive to the telepathic powers of others. Through her astral projections, she is able to enter into the dreams of others and communicate with them, and even influence their dreams. While in the astral her physical body is particularly vulnerable. Familiar: A pitch black deer that is always with her but only appears visibly when she allows it to be seen - it has large antlers and can be violent if Itzpa feels threatened.
Personality: She was considered something of an eccentric imbecile by the family she works for, and she did nothing but manual labour until the woman of the house realized that Itzpa had a rare talent as a seamstress. She now spends most of her day making and embroidering dresses for the rich women of Salem, going to their houses for fittings and being treated with a mixture of curiosity and pity by the people she meets - few of whom look beyond her strange ways to the alert mind beneath.
History:  Itzpa was taken from her home by the Rothsome family while still a young girl, in mysterious circumstances. She retains a foreign accent though she doesn't speak any other languages. The only things she remembers about her previous life are stories her mother told her about Itzpapalotl the terrifying Aztec goddess. She was taken by one of the Rothsome sons while he was away making a name for himself, and she has lived in their house by the North River (as an indentured servant) ever since.
Relationships: (none currently, but she is close to Cathy, youngest daughter of the Rothsome family)

My notes are as follows:  It looks pretty good I will let the "talking in peoples heads"bit and the "dream " part because that would be a part of the classification of astral projection, but do keep in mind it wont be as strong as people who had those specific powers just by themselves.

Yep, she's still fairly young and her powers are maturing - and her astral projection ability is kinda diffuse, so definitely not as strong as somebody who's a total telepath. Also she has her familiar ;)
Thanks for the notes!

yup, I can see all of the above as you mentioned. :)

In regards to it I will simplify Chloe's ability's to 'animal connection' and 'lie detection'.

She is only young, but her past has made her grow more mature than her years.

Great, just making sure you were aware.  I didn't want to get halfway through the game and upset ya :)

[RainbowRian]

not really. all in all the main goal is to not get caught but we will discuss rules and make changes if needed when we get there

[CurvyKitten]

I'm interested in playing, I have two ideas brewing and partly typed up. Hmm maybe we can get a few more guys interested, not that I'm complaining I'm good with the girlies too. hehe :P

[RainbowRian]

Yea, hopefully Curvy :)

[Nim]

Merry Meet!  )0(

I am certainly interested in joining in with this group if there is still some room.  I've often wondered if someone might some day bring this kind of game to the table so to speak.  When even in this day and age where Witches are seemingly more prevalent at least when it comes to coven group practice they are still often very misunderstood and like in the burning days feared to some extent. 

Will most likely be playing two characters.  (I never can just play one in a group game.  LOLz)  A man and women character if that's alright.

Blessed Be

~Nim~

[Cleo4u2]

Anyone interested, please drop in your character sheets and we'll be more than happy to approve them. I'd like to see another two or three people before we started the RP, but it's really up to Rainbow.

[RainbowRian]

Merry Meet and Welcome be Nim!  There is more than enough room and you are unfortunately witches are still very misunderstood but at least we aren't burned. :)  two characters is definitely okay.
Blessed be!

Anyone interested, please drop in your character sheets and we'll be more than happy to approve them. I'd like to see another two or three people before we started the RP, but it's really up to Rainbow.

Exactly what Cleo said. post sheets and we will give notes for revision.  and I agree I'd like to have a few more people before we start. 

Also... It's as much up to her as it is me we are of equal authority :3

[Cleo4u2]

Oh yes huh. lol at all times.  :D  Im bout to go to bed myself actually.  Apparently Asset Protection came in on my day off and fired a bunch of people.  Idk ~shrugs~ I havent done anything wrong plus they are training me for backup Customer Service Supervisor and one is leaving in a few weeks.  Fingers crossed I get itt! Plus I may go find more stuff to write in my BOS

Name: Jared Oswell
Occupation: Jack of all trades picking up work where ever he can find it.
Sect: Coven
Orientation: Straight
Hair: long blonde hair
Eyes: Grey
Height: 5'8"
Appearance:
Abilities: Fire starter first learned through his interest in candle magic.  Communicating with the dead.  His ability to communicate with the dead does however has its limits.  While he generally can see them almost all of the time the ability to speak to them is actually limited by that persons own personality and characteristics in life.  If the  one he was seeing had been not all that charismatic in life he would not hear what they were saying all that well.  If however the one he was seeing and speaking to had been a very strong and charismatic in life that conversation would be just as strong as if he was speaking to any other living person.
Personality:  Jared is a very private person very reserved and quiet around those whom he does not know well.  But never afraid to speak what is really on his mind.  Despising what is being done to his fellow practitioners Jared finds every opportunity to fight back and get even with those who have killed his friends and family.
History: Born into a long line of witches who could trace their lines back to the time of the Druids Jared has formed a firm belief in his gods and goddess's which is unshaken despite the times in which he lives.  Jared's parents were killed by religious zealots long before the Salem Witch trials had actually begun and as a result Jared had from the age of 12 grown up in the streets.  Working for room and board he managed to keep his faith and practices despite the odds which stood against him.  From the age of three he had been in contact with his great grandparents whom he had never met in life.  This relationship grew and developed to include contact with many relatives reaching almost as far back as the time as the Druids.  This talent for both seeing and hearing the dead steadily improved until by the age of 10 he was communicating not only with relatives but friends and strangers alike who had passed on to their next lives.  His interest in candle magic began at the age of 8 but the discovery of his fire starter abilities did not come into full affect until his 16th birthday when he conjured his first flames without any other aid other than that of the power of his mind.  By the time he was 24 Jared had saved enough money to buy a small log cabin where he continued to work on his craft.  He first came in contact with the coven at the age of 26.  Now three years later he was a full fledged member.

Name: Milisent Du'Bose
Occupation: Nurse
Sect: Solitary practitioner until she finds the coven
Orientation: Bi sexual although her interests lean more towards women.
Hair:  Red long hair
Eyes: Blueish grey
Height: 5'3"
Appearance:
Abilities: Healing: using a technique she calls bubble magic.  Where she forms a palm sized energy ball in her hand then layers this energy ball according to what kind of her healing her patients need.  Even to the extent that with each layer there can be find multiple time released energy bubbles which have the capabilities for healing in what ever manner she so chooses.  Her healing magic is only truly limited by whether or not it is actually her patients time to leave this earth or  if her patient needs to have what ever ales him/her in order to learn what ever life's lessons he or she needs to learn before passing on to the next life.  Milisent's second ability is being able to keep one foot firmly planted in the physical realm with her other foot being planted firmly in the astral realm where she communes with the wee folk of all shapes sizes and types.  More often than not utilizing the Fey's knowledge and powers of healing to her advantage.   
Personality:  Milisent or Mili as she most often prefers to be called is a true people person with a true love and concern for those who fall into her care.  Not one to easily give her trust but if you win her trust you have won a true friend for life.   
History: From a very young age Milisent had been gifted with the capability to see what anyone needed to be healed of what ever ailed them.  Which led to her interest in nursing.  In another day and age she would have striven to become a full fledged doctor but times being the way they were she settled for the one avenue which was  open to her.  Milisent had grown up in an upper middle class family and her parents had seen to it that she had received the best education that money could possibly buy at the time which she took full advantage of.   Mili had once been married to a man who abused her on both a physical and mental level far beyond that which might have been considered normal for the time she lived in.  In part because of this abuse Mili developed a strong interest in women which was coupled by the fact she actually found them far more physically attractive than men.

My notes are as follows: 
Jared:  Explain what communicating with the dead means to you. 

Milli:  The bubble magic, would that be similar to a concentrated version of reiki?

[Nim]

Re: Notes

Jared: Jared can both see and speak to the spirits of the departed.  It is a talent which is limited by the strength of character and personality those individual's held in life.  Some particularly family members or close friends usually come through fairly strong.  Others whom he did not know usually only came as faint outlines and soft whisperings but there are always the few exceptions to the rule where even perfect strangers to him could make a strong appearance.

Milisent:  I never really thought of it in those terms before but yes I think it would be fair enough to say it would be similar to a concentrated version of reiki.  It's a practice I've actually been working with for the last nine years with various grades of success and failure. 

[RainbowRian]

Well they have my approval just need Cleo's.

[Nim]

Thank you RainbowRain.

I'm looking forward to the start of the game.  Looking over the cast of characters we seem to have a very interesting group coming together to make up the Coven.

[Cleo4u2]

I'm going to say that after this we cannot accept any more people with a healer type profession. A midwife type, a doctor, and a nurse in a small time is already pushing things, in my opinion. That being said, I think both of your characters look great, Nim.

[RainbowRian]

Me too we just need a few more people :) 

And I agree with Cleo about the doctor profession.  Im hoping that we can keep things mixed up and it be awesomeness

[Nim]

Thank you Cleo.   ;D

I was actually kind of wary about putting up another healer type but Milisent refused to be anything else.  LOLz

[lenka]

great line up of characters so far.

[RainbowRian]

Oh yes it is :)

I have had trouble getting to a computer so I haven't been able to post. I will try for that sheet again today. RL never wants to listen to my plans. LOL

Name: Gloria Angéle de la Barthe
Occupation: Works in the front of her fathers shop, her father owns and runs the general store and the Blacksmith
Sect: Independent
Orientation: striaght with bi curiosity
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Green
Height: 5'1''
Appearance:

Abilities:
Premonitions Gloria  gets visions from things, people, places, sometimes fate simply drops one her way.

Freezing time, at the moment her ability reacts more on instinct and only works for shot moments in time. Enough to change one moment. Perhaps as she learns to control her powers they will work more in her favor. 

Personality: Gloria is most certainly someone that is known around the village, not just for her well off and large family. But for the energy she gives off. She is known to get along with most anyone. And always seems to have a infectious laugh and warming smile. Known for being a bit of a tomboy, but who could blame her with 7 older brothers to deal with. One would think she would be spoiled being the only baby girl of such a large family. But know she seems to have a very caring heart and open mind. As well as an adventurous and curious spirit.

History: Gloria was born to a family that already had 7 boys. The next boy up barely a year older then she was. Her father prosperous man owning the general store, the smithy and several acres of farm land. The whole family working together hard to keep it all running smoothly. The young girl was certainly a surprise to everyone, though a happy one all the same. Her older brothers had someone knew to look after and tease, and her mother finally got that little girl she had been wanting. And as always her father was just proud of his family.

Though with all that they had the family had a secret which they wanted to always remain hidden. Within their family line there always seemed to be a power. Some could connect with it as easily as touching flowing water, and others couldn't even sense it. But there was no doubt that Gloria was indeed connected to this power. Always seeming to know things were going to happen before they did. And somehow at some point gaining a other ability. Her brothers also showed signs of powers. But no matter what happened or what skill they gained. The family made it a point to keep it hidden from the world around them. Their position granting them a bit of sway with the community along with a free pass when it came to most suppositions.

Gloria helps out with different tasks around the store and farm. Her brothers were the ones that did most of the heavy lifting. Though she doesn't seem to back down from any task set before her. Even taming a wild horse once, a horse she still rides today. Gloria certainly is a unique woman within a very unique town.

Relationships: If you want to work out any links let me know. I am all for rp goodness. :) And if anyone wants to Play one of her brothers let me know I'm more then open to it.





Name: Elena Maxine Avery
Occupation: Nature guide, trail guide, and local green thumb helping the farmers with their land
Sect: Coven
Orientation: striaght
Hair: Black
Eyes: Warm brown
Height: 5' 6''
Appearance:

Earth manipulation, Elena has the able to animate and control plant life. Controlling plants, causing them to grow or wither, and change their properties, ability to read or feel what is wrong with a plant. She uses that skill to help the local farmers work their lands to the best of their abilities.

Personality : Elena is known as a helpful and elegant woman. Not much is known about her past before Elena arrived into town. Saying her husband died and she couldn't bare to be where she had lived before. Seen as a strong and slightly willful woman by some of the men. They would have her hidden away in her garden, when she would rather be up front and seen earning her own living. It seems Elena is certainly a woman of means and of change.
History: Elena was married off early, her father only really seeing her as a means to a bit of coin. Her mother having died when she was little. It seemed the old man never got over it, and partly blamed the young woman for his wife’s passing. Her father was an angry man but it wasn't till she was sold off to the towns butcher did she know true abuse.

Nicolas would take every bit of his rage out on her smaller form. Used her body as he pleased, after all when you belonged to a man you had no say in what happened. It was only when her powers came into full bloom did she get away from him. Heart attack they said, and she was ever the grieving widow. Taking what he left her and leaving the town she had original grown up in behind.

Arriving in Salem years later she finally saw to settled down. Her powers well under control now, she set up shop. Finding there was a great deal of people not to mention healers that seemed to need supplies. Not to mention the poor farming land that seemed to be plaguing the town’s people. Helping the people around her set up homes and get thriving farms going she has earned a bit of respect in the town. None would ever suspect the secrets she hides, or the power she holds

Relationships: Again if anyone wants any links let me know. :)

Relationships: Again if anyone wants any links let me know. :)

My notes are as follows:  Gloria looks good as far as I can see.

Elena: We already have an herbalist, and it was mentioned having an herbalist is like an Apothecary,  So if you could please try to find a different profession even if it has nothing to do with your power that is fine.  Its a small town and we don't see there having two herbal people.    Again I wasn't aware at the time when you and I were chatting about it.  Now if you and the herbalist character want to work something out to where you have history and help one another that is fine just let us know.  Everything else looks great though.  I like the damaged flower aspect of her history.

[Cleo4u2]

I was thinking a witch with growing powers would make an incredible asset on a farm, myself.

[Nim]

~Peeks in~  Is this game still a go or is it simmering on the  back burners?

[RainbowRian]

It is still a go we are just hoping for another player or two.

[Nim]

~Nods~  I'll do some asking around tomorrow when my regular writing partners are on and see if any of them are interested in joining.

[RainbowRian]

Alrighty roo. :)  I will talk to Cleo and see if we have enough characters in general to get a character thread put up

[Nim]

Coolies... maybe even put a word in for an OOC where we can all start to really put some plots together.  ~Pretty please with sugar on top~

[RainbowRian]

I will see what we can do.  I just don't want to put alot of time and effort in it to have it fizzle out like some old Rps.

[Nim]

~Nods~ that's understandable.  I've had enough games fizzle out on me to know where your coming from on that one.

[RainbowRian]

Well.  You know :)  I want to get a good game a going.  I think Im a pretty good GM but idk ~Shrug~ I try

[RainbowRian]

If im not so terrible at math we have 10 characters I believe.

[Nim]

Well.  You know :)  I want to get a good game a going.  I think Im a pretty good GM but idk ~Shrug~ I try

Sometimes games fizzle whether or not one happens to be a good GM or not.  So don't blame yourself. 

10 chararcters at the start of a game isn't really all that bad of a start.  Ive started games with half as many characters that have turned out to be very fun games. 

[RainbowRian]

Well I am still waiting on a reply from Cleo

[Nim]

kks... I guess I'm just really looking forward to the start of this interesting game idea of yours.  ~grins~

[RainbowRian]

Hopefully soon.  I may work up some thread decorations and such soon.  Maybe a link image?

[Nevaeh]

So I have a question.

You are looking for a couple more people.  What are you looking for character wise?

For the moment I am just asking.

[RainbowRian]

We are looking for male, or female.  We have a few witches, which is no problem.  Everything is still about open.  Though we have no Witchhunter type characters yet, those can come later in game or we can make npcs no prob its really up to you PM us with ideas or post prospective character sheets on this forum.   

Attention everyone:  Once the approved character thread is up I ask that you revise your sheets using the notes Cleo and I have given you and PM us a copy of them.

[Nevaeh]

Okay do you want everyone to have a power of some sort or are you wanting some plain peeps in the mix as well?

And I get that you need male and female, that was really what I was asking.  *thinks of another way to put it*  I guess I am asking I know you have medical people, pub owners, herbalists?  What other types are you looking for?  What needs filled?

[RainbowRian]

Mainly I would think the Witches are the only ones with power, so normal people would be okay too they just wouldn't be part of "Coven" activities. 

As for professions :
Farmers
Spinsters
Craftsman (Male Only)
Blacksmiths (Male Only)
Carpenters (Male Only)
Weavers
Servants
Soapmakers

These are mainly what is left but if you have another Idea talk to Cleo and I  But no more Doctor style professions,  Or Herbalist ones are allowed.

[Nevaeh]

Okay thanks, I'll think on it.  Since it seems if you aren't a witch there wouldn't be much for you to write or many for you to write with if you aren't in their coven.

Thank you for answering my questions.

[RainbowRian]

Lol there are independant Witches. as well :)  Normal people could come in handy as well though.  If the witches trusted you I could see the normal person MAYBE being allowed to observe and they could also be on the hunters side.  etc.  Not a problem :)

[Nevaeh]

Yea that trust thing was kind of how I saw it as well.    And as it was pointed out to me by someone else... maybe they are layman wanting to learn.  I'll let you know.  Thanks again

[RainbowRian]

Not a problem.

Name: Teddy Frost (Ted)
Occupation: Land owner and Black smith
Sect: Human
Orientation: Straight
Hair: Mousey brown
Eyes: blue
Height: 6 ft
Appearance: Lean and athletic, short hair which curls at the back when it grows too long.
Abilities: Nothing magical, but is great with his hands and can fix things

Personality: He has a very infectious smile, one that seems to look deep into anothers soul. He is the typical friendly next door neighbour, lending a  hand or taking the shirt off his own back if anyone needs it. He is a bubbly Irishman, who has a heart of gold and is very passionate about everything in his life. He gives trust out easily, but isn't fooled a second time.

History: Born in the southern part of Ireland, Ted was raised on a small farm which his parents had worked on for generations. He had a fun and fitful childhood, always the one to bring friends home and making his household a place of laughter. Getting into trouble, but never enough to do much harm. Wanting to learn more about the world, he saved his pennies from working small jobs around the home town. An elder from the town had taught him the fine art of black smithing, in exchange Ted would help the old man out around his farm and was basically like a son to him as well. It had cut him deep when he found the old man still in his bed one morning.

At the young age of 25, Ted's father became too ill to work any longer. Promising his father he would do his best, Ted soon found a passion with working with his hands on his family farm. Giving up his wishes of travelling, he established himself within the way of the farm life and began to live a quiet and blissful life of living off the land.

Ted is now 32 and has refined upon those skills he was taught. Making money from Black smithing for the community he resides in, also producing fine grains, corn a mixture of root vegetables and pigs.


Relationships: Single, but Sally hold his heart for now (an infant pigglet)

*If he is ok then I would love to also work with a human character.* :)

He is a bubbly Irishman, who has a heart of gold and is very passionate about everything in his life. He gives trust out easily, but isn't fooled a second time.

History: Born in Ireland and studying engineering after school. He packed everything up and moved to help his father who had lived alone on a farm. A few years passed and his father became too ill to work any longer, moving back to his homeland to see the last of his days out. Promising his father he would do his best, Ted soon found a passion with working with his hands. Giving up his past love of building things and gaining a degree, he took to the machinery quickly, establishing himself within the way of the farm life and began to live a quiet and blissful life on the outskirts of ??? (where ever they are)

Relationships: Single

*If he is ok then I would love to also work with a human character.* :)

Here are my notes:  Everything looks pretty good though his engineering thing I am unsure about because they are in like an Old Salem type town.  Everything else I see looks pretty good, but I have a headache so please wait for Cleo's Critique.  Also this would be a human character so what is the meaning behind "*If he is ok then I would love to also work with a human character.* :)"  Im just confused due to whatever is going on with my allerigies or cold.

[lenka]

awe you poor thing..

I was just simply stating/asking if I could work with him, that's all.

Rest up and take care

[RainbowRian]

As long as the engineering thing ends up checking out for Cleo and such you are more than welcome to have a human character. As is anyone else.  It would be a bit out of point to have everyone be a witch in Witch Trials.

[Nim]

RainbowRian, did you need me to revise anything with my two characters.   I know you had questions about what thought communicating with the dead meant to me as well as questions on the bubble magic but it wasn't clear to me if you needed me to revise my character sheets.

Also later as the game progresses I'll be more than happy to throw in a couple non witch characters as they become needed.

[RainbowRian]

Yours is fine just add the weaknesses you mentioned and PM them  Everyone will have weaknesses and we shall discuss them when they are PM'ed :)

[Nim]

KK's will do.

[Cleo4u2]

Sorry, I was working and have a finite number of posts I can make.

@Everyone: I think we are definitely ready to start this thing! Give us a day or so to get the IC/OOC stuff set up. Please send me or Rainbow your revised character sheets so we can get this started ASAP.

@Nevaeh: The RP is plenty open to non-witch characters. What we have here is a broad RP between members of a community, those being hunted, those doing the hunting, and those who are caught in between. Events in the community, positive or negative, will effect everyone in the community. Those who aren't involved in Coven matters or Witch Hunting matters will have plenty of other things to RP about. The actual Coven rituals won't be the main portion of this game; the interaction of the community will be.

@Lenka: I like your character a lot (especially the picture!), but I think what you're looking at back then would be architecture. Engineering is what we call it now, but I would suggest you add an apprenticeship with a blacksmith before he studied architecture. Also, the idea that he was a poor farmer before going to a very expensive and elite school is unrealistic. My own character only got to go to any kind of upper school (and then not a very good one - he relies on his abilities a lot) because he and his brother sold their home, farm, and all their livestock. For this, I suggest you make the character either a land owner, or some kind of skilled craftsman. He would still be needed to return to help out around the business once his father got sick.

I'm sorry I'm being so picky. There's a lot of "that's not realistic for the time" that I can handle in this RP, but you nailed two I'm nutty about.

Engineering is what we call it now, but I would suggest you add an apprenticeship with a blacksmith before he studied architecture. Also, the idea that he was a poor farmer before going to a very expensive and elite school is unrealistic. My own character only got to go to any kind of upper school (and then not a very good one - he relies on his abilities a lot) because he and his brother sold their home, farm, and all their livestock. For this, I suggest you make the character either a land owner, or some kind of skilled craftsman. He would still be needed to return to help out around the business once his father got sick.

I'm sorry I'm being so picky. There's a lot of "that's not realistic for the time" that I can handle in this RP, but you nailed two I'm nutty about.

Thank you Cleo.  I know a bit about the time and the engineering did sound a bit off.  I am a wee bit sick so Im bed contained for the moment watching movies and posting, so I can work up an OOC/IC thread and a Approved Characters thread if you'd like

[RainbowRian]

What is everyone's opinion on what category this should be put in?

[Nim]

Being the "Burning" times I would say extreme depending on how descriptive we actually wish to be.  And knowing some of the things Jared is likely to do to those who have wronged him and those he comes to care about  being in the extreme category would certainly grant the freedom of writing what needs to be said. 

[RainbowRian]

Alright.  I will wait on others to weigh in before I make the threads. :)

[lenka]

Ok Cleo, I have re-written Ted's character sheet, but I will pm you this too.

Thanks for the heads up..I guess I forgot about the time in which this would be set in :)

Let me know if I need to change anything, other than that I have made it more basic.

[RainbowRian]

Anyone have opinions, before we put this in extreme.

[Nevaeh]

I'm going to try to come up with a character if you still want someone else.

[RainbowRian]

Okay dear.

[Nevaeh]

Name:  Rachel Wilds
Occupation: weaver
Sect: Human
Orientation: Straight
Hair: medium brown
Eyes: brown with flecks of gold in them
Height: 5’8”
Age:  27
Appearance: fuller figured, buxom, very curvy
Abilities: Nothing magical, unless she weaves the right grasses

Personality: Usually she comes off as shy, sometimes standoffish but she is a flirt as well around the right people 

History:  Rachel was born in a small town within the state.  Her house had been one of those that housed all of them, her, her parents, her grand mother and an aunt.  Which is where she learned her craft from, it was passed down from generation to generation.  She had been out gathering grasses for her mother to work with when she was in her teens, coming home she found her family slaughtered.  Finding she was unable to live there after putting her family to rest, there was too many memories, too much sadness that she loaded up what she could on one wagon with the help of her close friend Aaron and left.  Ending up in Salem.

For a single woman it wasn’t easy.  What she hadn’t been able to bring with her she sold along with the house, not wanting to know what would be done with it now.  It was hard for her to set out on her own, no one to protect her.  Having money, though not rich by any means Rachel found a smaller two story place.  It was on the main road coming into town that she could afford to rent.  .  Trading out she managed to get someone to help her redo the downstairs where she set up two looms, one was hers, one had been her grandmothers and with that her mother’s spinning wheel to make her own yarn that she might need. 




Relationships: Single, no family

[Cleo4u2]

Nevaeh, I need you to elaborate on the magic weaving. What can she do with it? Also, at this time women couldn't own property so she would be renting.

[RainbowRian]

I agree with Cleo.  Reminded me of arachne and athena lol



Also.   Since no one has chimed in about placement I suppose the threads will be put in extreme so we may say what we would like to in gruesome detail.  if there are any objections speak now.  The threads will be coming shortly because Im going through a job promotion type thingy at work and have been working long shifts.  apologies but yea.  Sorry for the hold up but we are still on for this game ~RR~

[Nim]

No worries ~RR~  I for one certainly understand how work can effect time on E.  I am really looking forward to the start of the game and seeing how all of these wonderful characters of ours mesh together. 

On another note:

Cleo would it be safe to assume that Milisent Du'Bose would work for Timothy Welsh as a Nurse with Salem being such a small town and all?

I would like that very much =3

[Nim]

"thanks for understanding dear."

Your welcome  ;)

I would like that very much =3

~Grins~ so would I.   Looking forward to having them work  and practice together.

[RainbowRian]

Im Hoping to have the threads up by tommorrow, but it may be late tommorrow night before they are play worthy, or possibly the 1st they will go live. That way Cleo and I can talk and plan and tweak things if needed.

[Nim]

The 1st is but a hop, skip and jump away... sounds like a plan to me!

[RainbowRian]

I have some forms and govt stuff to send in that day too. lol but thats earlier in the day

[Nevaeh]

I'll change it to renting.......... LOL would you like me to just pick and no body or would someone like to own where she is renting?

Also on the other.   What do you mean what can she do with it?    It really isn't magical weaving it would be in the grasses that she uses. 

I saw that depending on where she got the grasses from, a witch perhaps so they could be blessed or cursed or anything.  Or if she just gathered them from a witches land, perhaps they were enhanced in some way.

I can just remove that if you prefer.

[lenka]

Oh I'm all for extreme....excited to begin too :)

[RainbowRian]

Shortly I will post a link to the IC/OOC but no posting for the Main Thread yet

[RainbowRian]

ATTENTION!
If you have not already everyone needs to send Me AND Cleo your revised character sheets. In Private Message form please.

[RainbowRian]

I made an image for the approved thread but i cant seem to link the names on it to the characters themselves :(  oh well its good asthetics

[RainbowRian]

How are we all?

[Nevaeh]

Okay I updated the bio to Rachel renting but I don't know is needed on the weaving.

[RainbowRian]

I will fix it if you permit me as I post it on the approved thread. I am nearly done, yours is the only one lacking and it has taken me a bit trying to go through the interest thread to find them since one player is the only one to send them to me via PM lol.

[Nevaeh]

Well I was going to send it PM after I fixed but I wasn't sure what she wanted.  She doesn't do magic, but the grasses she can weave with could be magical, making her product that way as well.

[Cleo4u2]

I'm sorry about the weaving hun! I think it looks really cool, kind of like a blessing or curse. I was wondering if you'd mind extending it to weaving more than grass and into looms with cloth and wool, etc. Basically...I think it's awesome and want to give you more options with it.

[RainbowRian]

Here is the Approved thread for everyone to enjoy.  If anything still needs changed let me or Cleo know asap.  I will have the Main thread up soon and It will be game for posts.  I also have a curveball to discuss with Cleo. 

[Nevaeh]

Can I make a suggestion? 

On the approved thread or in the bio's it doesn't say who is playing which Character and that might be helpful at some point if things get bigger.

[RainbowRian]

I will change that now thanks for the suggestion.  I actually thought about it while doing it lol but what do you think about your character's sheet?

[Nevaeh]

Its alright.  though I don't know that it would be unknowingly.  Thinking it was something that has been passed down, at least that it could happen..... otherwise she wouldn't know and her medium could effect her if she didn't know how to handle it.

[RainbowRian]

Well let me edit :)

[Nevaeh]

Better thank you *smiles*

[RainbowRian]

Not a problem we had pretty much hashed out details with everyone but we hadn't finished with you. 

Also I will edit anyone's sheet as we go.  as far as relationships, etc. Now to work on the IC/OOC and Salem thread.

[RainbowRian]

All Players please move to the IC/OOC! :D

[seekeroftruth22]

Name: Jace Bennett
Occupation: I'm a black smith
Sect: coven member
Orientation: bi
Hair: black, when he lets it grow
Eyes: yellow
Height: 6'6''
Appearance: look below
Abilities:
fire control, he can't be burned by his own flames and can create fire from his hands at will although the longer he uses his flames the more tired he feels. if he uses to much of his power it could kill him but that is only if he can keepfrom passing out for that long. normally he uses his flames only in his smithy when he is making things because it is far easier to use his fire then to go through the trouble of trying to light another fire after last nights fire had already died.
enchanter, he can use his power to enchant anything he makes, from horse shoes to swords. the herbs and gems he uses allows for different enchantments, if someone brings him the items he will willingly make what ever item they choose for their enchantment. the different enchantments are only limited to the ingredients he can find and his knowledge of how to use them, his father was also a enchanter so Jace mainly relies of his fathers Book Of Shadows to help him in his witch craft
Personality: Jace usually intimidates people through his sheer size so he usually keeps to himself and is normally seen standing off to the side of coven meetings. he only speaks in groups when what he has to say is important. on the out side he looks scary to most people but he is actually caring and would willingly risk being exposed if it meant saving the life of a  innocent. he treats adults the same way they treat him, if a women comes to him and asks politely if he could make her some farming tool or another he would accept and possibly even enchant it to work faster or to never break, but at the same time if she came in and was being a bitch he would likely toss her out of her ass with out a second thought.
History: at a early age Jace had been able to make fire out of thin air and he had gotten caught, quite heroically i might add, one of his childhood friends houses caught fire and Jace rushed in with out a second thought as to the rest of the towns people, once inside he used his power to snuff out all the fire. he saved four people in that house but even they called him a witch and tried to burn him, when that didn't work they were going to drown him to which he was barely able to get away from, his parents spirited him away from their village and moved him to this one. to remind himself never to use his power he had a tattoo artist tattoo both his wrists and his neck with special ink, that made it so his skin could be burned by normal fire but wouldn't be burned by his own flames.

My notes are as follows:
-Your eyes, in the time period would have you burned alive.  Straight away.  If Cleo doesn't mind then I won't but contacts werent around and you could easily have them, say golden brown, turning yellow when you use your gifts.  I am all game for everyone having fun and such So I will let that be Cleo's decision.

-Your Enchanter power.  I fear it is going to be too wide ranged to choose from.  You could do too many things with it to be considered one power and Cleo and I had another character that we asked to change theirs over the same thing and that wouldn't be fair.  If you would like to discuss my decision on this, or possible changes and solutions feel free to message Cleo AND Myself. 

- As far as your history goes I will wait for Cleo's notes and the three of it to discuss it.

[Lady Lunarius]

Very interested, looking into making up a character sheet for approval if you're still open. <3

[RainbowRian]

We are in fact still open to players.

[seekeroftruth22]

rainbow, what if i took the fire control away, would i be able to keep the enchanting?

[RainbowRian]

I will have to discuss that with Cleo.  But until then let's wait for her notes.

[seekeroftruth22]

alright then, if need be i can easily change the powers and history

[Cleo4u2]

I completely agree with the eye thing. Yellow eyes would be devil's eyes and I honestly believe the midwife would have smothered the baby. As to the powers, I think we could keep both if we put a difficulty limit on the enchanting. Materials are difficult to come by, they require as much from your character as straining with his fire abilities, that kind of thing. So maybe he could enchant a hoe if he had the materials, but he probably wouldn't want to because he might not find more for six, seven months. That's if it's alright with RR.

If you wanted to enchant as you pleased, I would say take away the fire ability, but the GMs would have to monitor what you're doing to make sure you don't make something incredibly over powered. Likely you'll do just fine on your own, but we would make sure.

Okay, so you have the choice of being able to enchant as you please, but we would have to know what you were enchanting, or keep fire and limit enchanting, or you can still change it to another power as well.  thats three choices.  :)  If you do keep the fire though you could have your second be constructs :D  just a suggestion.  but those are your choices.

[RainbowRian]

We do in fact have a fire starter though

[Lady Lunarius]

Name: Ellisia Malcom

Occupation: Teacher

Sect: Solitary Practioner/Church

Orientation: Bi-Curious

Hair: Brunette

Eyes: Hazel

Height: 5' 5"

Appearance:

Ellisia is average height and weight, and has two small birthmarks. The first being the shape of a small strawberry behind her ear, and the other just a soft pink spot on her inner thigh. She wears eye glasses to read.

Abilities:

Empath: Elissia is able to not only empathize with people, she can literally feel their hurt, passion and anger. She hasn't yet learned to control what she feels when she feels. It is difficult for her to block out someones anguish or love.

Control Water: Elissia is able to manipulate liquid forms. She cannot create water, which is something she'd love to have done during some of the more intense summers.

Personality: Elissia is a quiet woman, reserved in a lot of ways. Most of this is due to her powers, though also her family. She is by no means shy, but keeps herself in check, knowing what her gifts could mean for her if she were caught. She loves to laugh however and opens up well enough once someone takes the time to get to know her.

History: Elissia, the only daughter to the town's minister, has grown up with the fear of god laid into her. She's heard all the fire and brimstone sermons more than any of the townsfolk. Her mother died in childbirth, which caused her father to be a bit more over protective. She performed the duties of a ministers daughter properly. But her gift always frightened her. Especially when she could feel her fathers fear and anger at the "sinners" in their town.

He was not an easy man to please, and often enough he would force Elissia to sit through his sermons, speaking about the unholiness of satans servants etc... She'd been engaged once, to a sailor named Tobias. It was his feelings of lust she felt inside him that reserved her want to marry him, but her father, despite her protests insisted upon the match. To him Tobias was a just man, though his profession was almost not easily looked past. But one day his ship left port, and never returned.

Since then, she's taken up the teaching post in town, though there are very few students during the harvest and planting seasons. She bides her time helping the other women around town, and bringing food to the sick.

Relationships: Not any. Unattached

History: Jace had started working at his fathers forge, learning how to enchant things with his father, he mainly used small enchantments that had common items for practice. he made a small amulet that allowed the user to resist fire to keep himself from getting burns while working in the forge. one day one of his best friends houses caught fire with her him it and with out thinking he rushed in to same her, while in the fire the amulet glowed brightly. when he brought her out the amulet was still glowing and the whole town, even the girl he saved, called him a witch and comdemed him to death, it it wasn't for his parents being there he would have been inprisoned and burned. with there help he was able to flee the town he grew up it. from then on they searched for a witch coven join for protection since being on their own was getting to be to dangerous.

Hello Lady Lunarius,

I really loved you bio and think that Ellisia Malcom would make a very nice addition to the game.  ;D
Especially the preachers daughter idea.  Will be rather interesting to see the development of her powers under such conflicting states of mind. 

The only thing I really have some questions about is her second ability of Control water.  "Elissia is able to manipulate liquid forms."
  Would you mind to much elaborating a little more on what this manipulation of liquid would entail?

Thanks
~Nim~




seekeroftruth22

Jace Bennett is approved passed me since you have taken into consideration my fellow  Co-GM's.  Remarks and questions.  Those powers of Enchanting sound very intriguing and am looking forward to seeing what uses they are put towards.   ;D

I suppose I should just simply state that she has manipulation over water when it in its liquid form, as well as draw it from plants, or the ground. As she grows into her powers its possible she could manipulate it further in its ice form but as of right now she's still getting the hang of drawing it from plants and such.

Truly there is a later possibility that she could manipulate the water within anothers body, but that'd be more likely if she were to be turned to the dark path.

~Grins~  Thank you for the clarification on the Control Water abilities.  I think with the addition of this clarification into Ellisia's bio with perhaps an example of what she does with this water manipulation I would give my approval to placing her bio in our Old Salem OOC pending ~RR's~ and Cleo's approval. 

Just follow the flaming link in either of our signatures.  LOLz

Control Water: Elissia is able to manipulate water in its liquid form. She first discovered this power when she'd spilt her bucket of water off the table, and instead of splashing on the floor it hovered for a moment, before she panicked and it hit the floor, delayed. Luckily she was home alone for this discovery. For the most part she doesn't use this power except for when she's alone, as her Empathy cannot be seen... For the most part she uses it to draw clean water and practices in the woods how to manipulate it more by forming it into balls of liquid that she can throw.

Personality: Elissia is a quiet woman, reserved in a lot of ways. Most of this is due to her powers, though also her family.

Especially when she could feel her fathers fear and anger at the "sinners" in their town.

He was not an easy man to please, and often enough he would force Elissia to sit through his sermons, speaking about the unholiness of satans servants etc... She'd been engaged once, to a sailor named Tobias. It was his feelings of lust she felt inside him that reserved her want to marry him, but her father, despite her protests insisted upon the match. To him Tobias was a just man, though his profession was almost not easily looked past. But one day his ship left port, and never returned.

Since then, she's taken up the teaching post in town, though there are very few students during the harvest and planting seasons. She bides her time helping the other women around town, and bringing food to the sick.

Relationships: Not any. Unattached

I love her. That is all.

*Squee* thank you <3 Both of you

~Grins~  I think it would be safe to assume (and Cleo can correct if I'm wrong) you could send Ellisia Malcom's bio to both Cleo and ~RR~ so that they can get it set up and placed into the Old Salem characters  sheet.   ;D

[GhettoMagick]

Name: Collin Williams
Occupation: Baker
Sect: Solitary Practitioner
Alignment: Black Magick
Orientation: Asexual (Bi-Curious)
Hair: Black
Eyes: Deep Grey
Height: 5’6
Age: 18
Appearance:  (Picture)
Abilities: Telepathy: He can receive and transmit information with the use of his mind. He also quickly developed at a young age, Mental Manipulation.
Personality: Collin is nice, thoughtful, and kind. However being a Telepath he can hear a person's most nasty thought, and that makes him push away people around him.
History: Collin had a sort of sad up bringing his parents, who were both witches, died when he was very young. Upon their death his telepathy manifested hearing the thoughts of the people around him all the time. For days he couldn't shut it off. All he heard was the voices of mourners in his head bringing up thoughts he tried to get over. Collin's grandparents took him in and raised him. Sweet elderly people, they were bakers and Salem just loved all the treats they could whip up. Breads, cakes, cookies, brownies, all of the goodies. They taught Collin everything they knew about the trade. His grandmother was a witch as well and she would sometimes use her powers in her baking to make they treats irresistible.  His grandfather was human though. He knew that Collin and his wife were witches but would rather turn a blind eye to it, because they weren't harming anyone with their powers, they were helping them, with feel-good treats. Sometimes they would make treats for all certain types of things, to ease a heartache, to get rid of sickness, find love, to empower, protection, wealth, etc.  Collin for a time was happy his grandmother taught him magick and how to block unwanted thoughts from entering his head and how to communicate with others with just thought alone. Then his grandmother got hit by a runaway cart in the market place, and being old a feeble she died. Ever since the accident his telepathy blocks were unlocked and he'd hear voices of people around him again unable to block them out this time without his grandmother's help, but with pure determination he is able to stop them for a time. His grandfather was never the same he stopped doing things he liked and left Collin to the shop most of the time, manning the front and doing the baking. Collin grew bitter, sad, and lonely. One day after school Collin was walking through the woods and some boys came up to him and started teasing him about his families deaths. How it was all his fault, and everyone around him will always die. He then twisted his mind and instead of receiving thoughts he pushed his own into others. He wished they would just leave him alone and surprisingly they stopped following him and teasing him, they just stood there. He then wished the would walk backwards, and they did. He started messing with their heads for the rest of the day and then let them go without them knowing anything that happened. Since then he found out that he can make people do what he wanted them to do. The power scared him and intrigued him at the same time, but he never uses it unless he needs to. He started playing around more with his powers, when people came into the shop he would search the private parts of their minds and find out all their dirty secrets. He didn't have any friends because he didn't trust anyone nor did he like the thoughts people had about him so he kept to himself at the bakery and at school. His telepathy kind of became his best form entertainment but he always had trouble reading other witches. Magick sometimes interferes with the signal but if he concentrates hard enough he'll get something.

Can you elaborate on Mental Manipulation please? :)

[Nim]

Hello GhettoMagick,

I enjoyed Collin's background story and how he came to be a baker.  Although I think that having both the ability to read minds and control them at such high levels might be a little much.  Although you did mention the limitation of having a harder time reading other witch's minds.   Would probably be a better idea not to try and read other witch's minds in the first place.  Some of them are likely not to take it to kindly to have their privacy invading in such a manner. 

[RainbowRian]

Haha I could imagine Matthew's response to it.  xD  but I agree it does sound a bit powerful.

[Diablerie]

Name: Marisol Magdalena Ozorio

Nickname: Mari or Mary

Occupation: She has just recently arrived town to work as a house servant in the household of Doctor Timothy Welsh.

Sect: Church. Human.
Orientation: Heterosexual (But she finds herself curious toward women)
Hair: Long and dark brown, almost black hair with a natural curl.
Eyes: Her mixed heritage gave her gray eyes.
Height: 5'8
Age: 21
Appearance: (Picture in the left.)

Marisol is a beautiful woman. Her skin tone is a tawny color skin that carries a faint golden hue. Her eyes are the color of the misty fog that settles through the land during the night. Her hair is long and carries a natural curl, while its color is a dark brown almost black. She has an hourglass figure that barely is shown through the dresses she wears. Her lips are full and a pinkish color, her teeth are all in place, and she is of good health.

Abilities: None.

Personality:
She is calm and collected, always trying to keep to herself instead of standing out. She is very shy and prefers to observe everything around her, but she is very kind. Unlike many of the church goers, she doesn't believe in the church and yet, she goes to it as to keep a good image and not be condemn by the townsfolk or her Master. She is very loyal to those she considers friends and likes to work. She isn't a romantic, life has changed her views about that, but she wishes that she could find someone who would look past the exterior and into the interior.

Marisol is very open minded for the period she lives in, being born an illegitimate child of mixed parentage made her be like that, although she never says any of her ideas to anyone. She believes that love is not something that anyone can control, nor lust either. Lust, of course, is a tough subject for her that she rather not even think about.

History:
She was born in England to a loving mother and a heartless, bastard of a father. Her mother a Spanish mistress who lived at the heart of London serviced a wealthy, married Englishman who beget her with a child. This child born from an un-sacred union and mixed parentage was Marisol. Growing up, Marisol got to see her father on different occasions, but she never got the chance of knowing what a real father was like. He never acknowledge her as his child and for the government as well as church, she was an illegitimate bastard.

She receive very little education, but she did learn how to read, write and speak fluently her mother's birth language as well
as English. Sadly, her status and being the daughter of a courtesan wasn't enough to save her from a harsh life. At the age of sixteen, after her mother's death, she began working as a servant to a wealthy noble family in London. Her time in that place became a living hell, since the Lord and Master of the house had taken up a fancy with her, like a naive girl she believed all of his words that only gave her pain and embarrassment at the end. She serviced the Lord until she was 20 years old. Having saved so many money, gave her the chance to escape the man and her life of servitude to that family. Buying a pass to cross the big ocean and go to live at the famous thirteen colonies, she prepared herself for a new life.
Of course, she hadn't expected to land in such a troubling place, but being a new settler she roamed trying to search from place to place a new home, always lying about her marital status so she could travel safe. Her journey ended when she arrived to Salem and found herself working as the house servant of Doctor Timothy Welsh.

[Demik]

Name: Kenna Newlund
Player: Demik
Occupation: Sells flowers, fragrant dry herbs, and baskets and woven mats of all sizes out of a wagon she parks in town. The flowers and herbs come from a lovely garden she tends.
Sect: Solitary
Orientation: Straight
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Pale green
Height: 5'3"
Appearance: (See Left)
Abilities: Summoning. Kenna has the ability to summon creatures out of myth and legend as well as avatars of Gods and Goddesses (pieces of their power, not the full God/ess). As an example she could summon Bast (though Egyptian she is close to the cat Goddess) and benefit from her fierce protectiveness. Bast would attack whoever Kenna needs her to in order to protect herself. Or if she needs a bit of lightning she could summon Thor. It is an ability she inherited from her mother. While her mother is too ill to fully train her she gives her advice and has given her a series of several Books of Shadows which have been passed down in her family for generations. She has also inherited the family staff which aids in her summoning, making the summoning easier, but it isn't necessary. It is something she keeps hidden at home though of course. Every summoning takes it's toll on her; draining her energy away. The simplest ones like special faeries or small dragons will make her feel light-headed and tired but she can usually recover fairly quickly. The major ones, such as Bast, she has to concentrate hard on leaving her vulnerable plus they will completely wipe her out for hours or even days depending on how long and how much power she is able to summon from the Goddess. Often after such major summonings she will pass out for a time as well. Because her ability is so powerful and a danger to her (and occasionally others) she doesn't use it to it's fullest often. Her mother insists that she practice though - knowing the day will come when her daughter will need to use her powers. So she often summons a little pixie to help with her gardening. Also, summoning creatures or God/esses she is more familiar with is easier than summoning those she is not familiar with.
Minor Secondary Ability: She is an energy sponge, drawing little bits of energy from everything around her. It isn't something she can really control. It draws such small amounts that it is hardly any more noticeable than a person's normal draw. She simply picks up energy from everything, everywhere, all the time. This is one of the reasons she can do something as taxing as her summoning without it killing her or making her ill. It can also be a bit of a burden to her though since there are times she has too much energy and can't sleep.

Personality: Kenna is a private person, not really talking much about herself, but she is also warm and friendly. She always has a pretty smile for her customers and other passerby. She works hard all the time. When she isn't helping a customer decide which flowers to buy she is weaving her baskets and mats. Then, when she isn't selling things, she is tending her garden or gathering materials for her crafts.

History: Kenna is/was married to a good man however both he and her father disappeared when they were out cutting wood and got caught in a terrible storm. Both were strong and had special powers of their own though so even after nearly 3 years she still held out hope they would return. Her husband and his family was what brought her and her family to Salem 4 years before. Things were tense where her family had lived before thanks to a couple of incidents involving their powers. Her father and her husband's father met since both were woodcutters and woodcarvers. When Kenna and her future husband met and seemed to really get along his father suggested a marriage between their children. They had just built a new home and his oldest son had inherited the old one. It was a large home, suitable for their children to live in and begin a family as well as house her parents until they found a home for themselves. Since the kids didn't object too loudly it was settled.

So they had moved to Salem and lived there quietly and happily. Learning from their previous experience they kept to themselves more. Kenna found herself becoming very close and attached to her new husband. It was short-lived however since he disappeared just before their 1st anniversary. She missed both him and her father greatly. Her mother had always been a frail woman in body though her spirit was very strong. With her husband gone she became more ill. She was the one responsible for getting the garden started with Kenna's help. Kenna had simply expanded upon it to grow enough to make a living from it. Now she uses her father's old wagon and horse to sell her flowers. It made her happy to bring color to the town along with pleasant scents. One of her favorite things to weave is a floor mat which has dried herbs woven into it that way when someone steps on the mat it releases a pleasant fragrance. Another colorful thing in her life is her cat - Willow (see picture). She found her as a little kitten, trapped in the thick mud and reeds by the river a little over a year before. Since then Willow hardly ever leaves her side. She goes to town with her, she 'helps' her garden and weave, and she goes with her when she gets her materials from the forest and riverside.


Relationships: (None Currently) ((OOC: If someone would like to play her father or husband coming back that would be fun and if not that's perfectly fine as well. If you are interested in doing something like that just PM me and we can talk about it ;).))


Hiya everyone! Nim told me about this story and I couldn't resist. I've been away from E for awhile for many various reasons but finally decided I wanted to come back. I know her power is unusual and powerful but Nim can vouch for my ability to not godmod things like this. We've written together forever and have done many, many stories together *glomps my Nimmy*  ;D. I will hold to the limitations I've placed upon her. Hope you like her!

I think she looks good and you have my approval with one note.  Sapping energy from Witches could have backlash.  So I would keep it to random townsfolk unless given permission from characters/players.

[Demik]

Koolies! *Dances* Yeah, I forgot to put in that it isn't really a conscious thing she controls. It's just something she does naturally and it's such small amounts that very few would think anything of it. Sometimes if she's really wiped she might go into the forest or sit by the river somewhere quiet just to sit and let her energy replenish but  she really doesn't have any control over it yet. Maybe with training... and even then it's a pretty big maybe. Plus even if she could control it she's not one who would just go around sapping people of their energy anyway... unless they really deserved it. It's just a natural part of her. I was just kinda putting it in to explain why she is able to do something so spectacular and naturally draining without it killing her. If you like I'll edit it to reflect that.

So I'll be bringing her in soon. Nim and I have plotted her grand entrance into the story. *Shifty eyes* Muahahaha. ;D So if I haven't posted in a couple days don't worry I am coming I just need to wait for the right moment to pounce... er, I mean join in.

[RainbowRian]

Okay. Either you can edit it, or we can say certain witches would sense it and block it out (or all of them) unless they are willing.  that aspect of her power sounds like psychic vampirism.  Although a few characters may emit energy.  My Character Matthew controls and Manipulates weather and has quite a bit control over his emotions and energies. He perhaps can help.

Hair: sandy blond
Eyes: stormy grey
Height: 210 lb
Age:
Appearance: look below
Abilities:none hes human XD

Personality: Jason is one of the most loyal people in the world, if you were his friend he would be the guy to call to help you get rid of the body's XD  it takes a while to earn his trust because of his past but once he accepts you there is only a few things that could make him turn on you but the main one is if they hurt Charity Daniels in any way. when it comes to his work Jason is a perfectionist, he honors the memory of his teacher and the man that was a father figure to him by making sure his work is as close to perfect as he had make it.

History: Jason is the only son of the town drunk, and what a mean drunk he was. his mother died in child birth and his father always blamed him for her death and if Jason was there while he was drunk Jason would get a beating so Jason would spend every spare moment he had at Mr.Daniels house playing with Charity, from a young age he had known he like her a lot but he never told any one.

Jason always loved playing hide and seek but Charity was the best hider he had ever played with  and some of the best times of his life were in those woods with her. one day he found Mr.Daniels working and he made a comment about the model house he was making, there was a designed flaw in one of the corner beams that would cause the house to colapse if it was built that way, that was when Mr.Daniels realised that Jason had a natural talent for being a Architect, from then on he became the mans apprentice but Mr.Daniels understood a childs need to play so he often sent Jason off to play with Charity when there was no pressing work to be done.

one day while the two kids were playing they had been playing to close to a beavers den and it had jumped at Charity but luckly he was able to knoc it away from her and scare it off but when he turned to Charity he say her blinking in and out of visibility at first he thought she had been hurt by somehting but quickly realised she had the power to turn invisable. after he saw her like that she ran away from him but he followed her with out even a moments pause, only after he had convinced her he wasn't going to tell any one and that they were still the best of friends did she stop trying to run away from him. to this day he has told no one and they have never been far from each other since.

Mr.Daniels hurt his back one day on the job and with no sons he turned his shop over to Jason with one condition, that he would alway take care of Charity which Jason told Mr.Daniels that he loved Charity and would take care of her no matter what.

Relationships: Charity Daniels (hes in love with her but doesn't want to risk there friendship, which he values more then all the gold in the world.)

[Lady Lunarius]

Name: Charity Daniels

Occupation: Servant to the Jason Thurston (The Craftsman)

Sect: Church

Orientation: Straight

Hair: Brunette

Eyes: Sinfully Green

Height:  5'4"

Appearance: (Pictured above) Charity while average height is slightly underweight. Her dark locks curl ever so
lightly around her shoulders. She has a straight posture, something her mother instilled on her.

Abilities:

Obfuscation: She has the ability to become near invisible. So long as she stands still and wills it she can blend in with her surroundings, something akin to a chameleon, though someone would have to look hard to find her. If she moves too much the illusion is shattered.

Charity is able to control it pretty easily, though when she is too emotional or scared her powers take on a mind of their own and she cannot control them.

Personality: Charity is a fairly serious woman when it comes  down to work, she loves to have fun and explore the woods when she isn't having to take care of things at home however. Her two younger siblings are much more free spirited, and she plans on making sure they can. She's fiercely protective of her family and friends, and would do anything to keep them safe.

History: Charity is the oldest of three girls. Her parents were much older when they had their children, which lead to health problems in her mother. Her father worked as the head Craftsman. She helped a little around the shop, keeping the books for her father and cleaning up.

When she turned 13 strange things started to happen. She found that when she was playing hide and seek with Jason, there were times he seemed to look right through her. Other times, she'd walk down stairs from the loft to get something to drink, but neither of her parents seemed to see her. Scared she hid what she was from her parents, knowing what it could do to them, and what others would do to her.

With no sons, Mr. Dainels passed his shop on to his apprentice Jason Thurston, when he'd injured his back. Charity had known Jason since they were children, he'd pull her hair, and she'd run away crying. They spent much time in the woods, playing games or running from "rabid" bunnies. She stayed on, helping him, taking up the position to help out.

Jason was the only one who really knew who or what Charity was. One day when they were kids they'd been playing by the creek and a beaver jumped out at her. Jason chased it away but when he turned around, Charity was blinking in and out of visibility. She was so scared, she ran away but he caught up with her. She had expected for him to chase her away or tell the adults, but he didn't, in fact their friendship had never been stronger.

Relationships: Jason Thurston (Secret Crush at-least)

Okay. Either you can edit it, or we can say certain witches would sense it and block it out (or all of them) unless they are willing.  that aspect of her power sounds like psychic vampirism.  Although a few characters may emit energy.  My Character Matthew controls and Manipulates weather and has quite a bit control over his emotions and energies. He perhaps can help.

I hate to say anything to the contrary but all living beings and creatures give off energy.  Granted some more than others but it is always there none the less.



Drools over Demik's character... oh wait... erm... loves on Demiks character.  Loved everything about her.  And yes I can vouch for her evil ways.   >:)

Demik your character is cleared through me.  Please go ahead and PM it to ~RR~ so he can get it situated into the approved character list.

Wonderful job on the character development.seekeroftruth22.  Will be a great addition to the game. 

Jason Thurston is most certainly approved passed me.  Only need to have one of the other GM's give the green light before sending your character to ~RR~ in a PM.

Even with already having seen a sneak preview so to speak I must say here that I love the back ground story and the ability you have chosen.  (Kind of makes me want to play Oblivion... ~grins~) 

Charity Daniels is absolutely approved passed by me.  Only need one more GM for the final say.  ~grins~

I would say it is borderline psychic vampirism. It isn't quite as strong or developed to the point I would completely classify it as that. She simply draws a little bit more from her surroundings than your average Witch. But yes, if it bugs people that much they could very easily block it. It really isn't very powerful.

Name: Ahote Yiska Baudouin.   
"Restless one, the night has passed, brave friend." 
Although most of the time he simply goes by Yiska just to make things easier.

Occupation: Piano player at the Prancing Dog Inn & Tavern

Sect: Solitary Practitioner

Orientation: Homosexual

Hair: Black

Eyes: Very dark brown with hints of red

Height: 5'11"

Appearance: See pic to left

Abilities:

1. Shape shifter:  Image above is his true self but he can change his human form to look anyway he wants whether it be male of female.  All of his transformations take a certain degree of energy to perform.  The human form being the easiest and for less costly of his transformations.  Animals and birds take far more energy and concentration to perform correctly.  With the exception of the animals who represent his own spirit guides in life.  The two creatures he has spent many days and nights on end tracking and studying their habits and ways. The extremely beautiful and graceful Gyrfalcon.  As well as the cunning and wise Wolf.

2. Communication with animals:  Limited mostly to when he takes the form of animals or birds but still has some comprehension of what they say while in his human form.
   
Personality: In most ways Yiska takes after his Native American Mother.  Lives very close to and is in tune with nature.  Generally it could be said of him that he is the 'A typical' strong and silent type.  Accept for the fact that he also inherited a whole other side from his father.  A famous French composer who had come to the New World to find new inspiration for his work.  From his father Yiska learned a full love of life and a deep passion for music.  Which he took to with all of his heart learning to play the piano under the guidance of his fathers strict but loving care. 

History: Ahote Yiska Baudouin was born and raised a hundred miles away from Salem where he now resides.  His mother had served as a servant to his father for nearly 10 years before the passing of his fathers first wife.  The man's first wife was barren and because of which was never able to carry a child to full term.  She died childless only after a few short years of moving to the new world.  A year later Yiska's mother married his father in a small church wedding.  He was born 10 months later. 

Growing up Yiska's mother taught him how to truly love and respect nature while his father taught him how to love and respect music.  These two things above all else truly made him the man he was even to this day.  On the eve of Yiska's 16th birthday his mother came into his room and sat on the edge of his bed and wrapping her arms around him in the tightest hug he had ever received in his whole life.  She and his father were leaving the next day for France and they were leaving him everything they had save for enough for them to make the passage back to his fathers homeland.  Yiska had wanted to go but his mother said no because he belonged there in the new world.  He had argued that no it was her world long before it had become his so she should stay to.  Her eyes had been full of tears as she wrapped her arms around her son saying, "I love your father... my place is at his side now and he wants to return home." 

Six years later after roaming the country side with no real home of his own Ahote Yiska Baudouin walked into the town of Salem.  Seemingly aimlessly he made his way to the doors of the Prancing Dog Inn & Tavern.  Completely ignoring the men who jeered at the lost injun and laughed as he sat down at the piano and held his hands frozen over the keys as if he didn't know what to play.  This sight made the few men in the bar laugh even more.  Calling out, "Hey stupid injin wha yu think yu know how ta play?"

Yiska's fingers fell down onto the black and white key's dancing skillfully across them as if he had not just spent the last six years of his life wandering in the wilderness alone.  By the time he was through with his first melody there was not a dry eye in the place.  Now two years later Yiska sits upon that same piano bench playing a tune to liven up the hearts of the men and women of Salem.  Giving no thought to the needs of his own heart and soul.   

His life now spent half on the piano bench and half out wandering aimlessly in the outskirts of Salem alternately flying high as a great winged Falcon or running low among the shrubs and trees as a large lone wolf.  A man who's face and music are well known even as his heart is forced to walk alone.  Then on one particularly dark and lonely night while flying high within the nights sky he spies a large bon fire in the midst of a deep forest glade.  Landing high among the branches of a near by tree he watches as men and women gather to sing and dance as they gather to celebrate the life their Goddess has given to them.

As he watches his sharp eyes pick out a man among men who stands out full of power and yet carries himself with the air of one who is the humblest of all men.  The man within the falcon's mind yearns to fly down for a closer look.  But caution in the face of mans seemingly intolerance of all life has taught the falcon to stay well out of reach.  So instead in Falcon Form the man known as Yiska, born into the world and given the name Ahote Yiska Baudouin watches in silent dis-spare as the people below him dance in within a part of life he simply never would be able to share.   

Relationships: Works for Gregory Welsh.  Matthew Binx's lover and life partner, (Their meeting and getting to know each other to be played out in game play.)

Name: Beatrice Felise
Occupation: Salem's Home for Girls
Sect: Solitary Practitioner/Church
Witch name: Minerva
Orientation: Bi-sexual
Hair: Long wavy reddish brown locks.
Eyes:  a soft brown intermixed with amber
Height: 5'6"
Appearance: Pictured to the left. 





Abilities:
1. Telekinesis: The ability to manipulate objects with the mind.  From a very young age objects around Beatrice would be relocated in places where they had not been left.  Luckily for her it was a talent or gift she had inherited from her mother who went to great lengths to teach Bea how to use this particular talent which could manifest itself at odd times with even being evoked.  Such as in truly emotional moments whether they be sad, joyful or filled with anger.  Anger being by far the hardest time to control this power which could easily escalate into a maelstrom of flying objects whirling about her at high dangerous speeds.
   
2. Darkness Manipulation: The ability to summon, create, and manipulate shadows.  This power was not so easily determined as the first but it too had been there with her from a young age.  As it always seemed as though her room was always the darkest room in the house despite the fact the oil lamps and candles burning brightly.  Her father who was a master at manipulating both light and darkness had his suspicions tho and watched his daughter closely for other signs of the power to manifest itself.  Once these were evident he too began to train his daughter in using this talent.

Personality: Don't let her seemingly quiet shyness nor her soft lovely smile fool you.  Beatrice is an evil little trickster using her powers in anyway possible that she can easily get away with to cause mischief in and around town.  Her favorite target being the town Preacher making his large bible suddenly slam shut at the worst for him best for her possible times.  Or pushing the sacramental wine from off of its place on the table and any number of other tricks she might happen to think of as she sits prim and proper seemingly enthralled with his latest and greatest sermon.  Oh how she would love to bed that one and bring the self righteous prick tumbling from the high pedestal that he has placed himself upon. 

History: Her basic history is a rather simple one.  Up until the age of 13 she lived with her parents in a small home in the far outskirts of town.  Her father had worked as a shoe maker and so had been able to provide for his family a decent and comfortable life.  Home life had been a wonderful blissful time.  The three of them practicing their craft together bringing them even closer and closer as a tight family as all of their powers and talents continued to grow and expand. 

Late night one Midsummer Eve shortly after her 13th birthday there had been a storm come over Salem which had caused no small amount of damage for the small town.  Particularly to her own home half of which had been completely destroyed when a near by tree fell and came crashing through the roof of her parents bedroom killing them instantly. 

Having no where else to go with no known living relatives living in the new world Beatrice was taken to the Salem home for girls where she has resided for the last 4 years with her 18th birthday quickly approaching around the corner.  Coming to the home had taken quite a bit of getting used to with so many of her normal habits having to be curtailed and pushed out of sight.  But she quickly learned to act and behave as a non-witch should though it had been rather difficult and taxing on her inner spirit.  It had been this forced change in her life which had brought so much bitterness into her heart leading her into spiteful acts of trickery.   

The one thing truly good she could say about the home was the head mistress Prudence Collinsworth was a truly wonderful loving yet firm woman.  One whom had taught her the pure joy's of pleasuring both men and women alike.  Beatrice loved the intimate interactions of lots of foreplay before the act of intercourse itself.  Her time with the clients was something in which she threw her whole soul and mind into. 

Relationships: Prudence Collinsworth, head Mistress for the Salem's home for girls.  The other girls who live there and whom ever may come to call upon their services.  Perhaps even a friendship with the Preachers daughter.

[RainbowRian]

Both approved.

~Grins~  Thank you!

[Lady Lunarius]

Name: Liliandra Gaelle

Occupation: Baker

Sect: Church

Orientation: Straight

Hair: Brown and curly

Eyes: Hazel

Height: 5'6"

Appearance: Lilliandra is tall and long legged, and tends to let her hair fall a little more free. She loves her curls, and her skin gives
the hint of being sun kissed, even though it is the evidence of her heritage.

Abilities: Making a kick ass souffle.

Personality: Liliandra is a bit of a flirt, something she'd never shook off during her time in France. Her kindness can easily be mistaken as flirtations, but she never means any harms especially when it comes to married men.

History: Liliandra was born and raised in France. Her mother a French dancer fell in love with an aristocrat who impregnated her and then refused to take responsibility. Raising her daughter alone, she taught her everything she knew about baking, and she soon found a job with the town baker when she was old enough.

Her taste for sweets grew the more she learned, and her breads began to surpass that of her masters. His wife however, perceived Lili's eagerness as an attempt to steal her husband and she found herself fleeing the city as accusations began to swarm. Taking her savings she managed to gain passage to the America's.

She traveled to Salem and in an effort to start again opened her own bake shop, renting the building and living above the shop. She's aware of the rumors surrounding her, and aware of the stories of the young French woman who lives alone "flirting" with married men.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Name: Trinity Matthews

Occupation: Salems Home for Young girls/Helps clean the church  each week

Sect: Solitary

Orientation: Curious

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Blue

Height: 5'5"

Appearance: Trinity stands at an average height and thanks to the home she is finally back on track with her weight. She no longer looks a skeleton with a layer of pale skin. Her scars have faded and her body looks more supple and healthy as time goes by.

Abilities:
Aura Reading: Gives her the ability to read someone's aura. This can give her a clue into their intentions and/or just their general personality.  The downside is she can not turn this off, so everyone has a soft glow around them.

Enhanced hearing: Can hear things that are within the building. A subtle whisper or a rush of wind coming through the upstairs window. This is limited to just the building she is in, if she is outside then she can only hear within 50 yards of where she is standing. Trees can make it somewhat difficult when in the woods.

Personality: Trinity is reserved in a lot of ways, though she loves to play jokes on people she rarely takes credit for them. She tends not to speak up when in trouble, or when others are cross, and she has a slight fear of men who have darker auras.

History: Her father was a drunk bastard, it was no secret everyone knew. Her mother, left when she was a child leaving Trinity the target of his aggression. Once he took a broken bottle and found a target in Trinity's back. He spent any money he made on alcohol and often forgot his daughter had to eat. One day while she was out hiding in the woods the billowing of smoke that rose from where there house stood told her what she knew was inevitable. Her entire nightmare was over, at least that what she thought.

She had no home, not place to stay. She was alone in the world until one day Elissia came across her outside the church. She was ill and taken to the local doctor. When she was healthy enough she was left in the care of Prudence in the home for young girl. Where she's created some mischief and found some meaning to her life. Though she hasn't a friend in the world to share her powers with.

[Nim]

Name: Jonothan Crane.   Its the name he takes after suffering from a blow to the head which causes a form of functional amnesia.  His true name is Nythaniel Newlund  (called Nate by those who know him particularly his estranged wife Kenna)
Occupation: Hunter/tracker, Fur/hide trader including cureing and caring for hides in preparation for leather work which he also has a fair hand at. 
Sect: Solitary
Orientation: Straight
Hair: Long dark brown eyes
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'8"
Appearance:  See pic to the left.  Has the same general look without the earring and blond streak

Abilities:
1. Enhanced Regeneration : The ability to heal rapidly from injury.  With his rapid healing he is able to heal from nearly any and all injury's with the exception of loosing a limb.  He simply wouldn't be able to grow back a whole new limb.  toes or fingers possibly but not his whole hand, feet, arms or legs.  Nor could it cure him of amnesia should he ever be struck in the head hard enough. 

2. Light Manipulation: The ability to generate, manipulate, and absorb light particles.  With this ability he is able to create pretty convincing illusions.  Although the more people who are looking at these illusions the more difficult it becomes to maintain their strength and integrity.

Personality:  Is very personable and makes friends or acquaintances easily.  Which comes in handy with his line of work.  Often quirky with a very good sense of humor.  While yet retaining a certain air of privacy and mystery about him.  Not one to lend his full trust easily but is more or less willing to give people the benefit of the doubt until they are proven to be other than they seem.  These are all personality traits which he maintains even after suffering a blow to the head which causes him to suffer from his functional amnesia.   

History:  Nythaniel Newlund had settled into Salem with his new wife Kenna after building a home large enough for them to eventually one day have a family.  Kenna's parents had also moved in with them for a time while they waited to either build another home or find one for sale somewhere in town.  Nythaniel lived a very happy life with his beloved wife whom he loved more than life itself.   Tragically their magical life came to a sudden halt when one afternoon Salem was struck by one of the strongest thunder storm it had ever seen. 

Nythaniel along with his father in law had bee out in the forest cutting wood to take back to the house when the storm suddenly blew in out of nowhere.  The wind and rain beat upon them driving the two men in the opposite direction of their home deeper and deeper into the forest.  As they were wandering his father in law suddenly dropped from sight with a scream of surprise.  Running up to see what had happened Nythaniel fell into the same whole which dropped him about 30 feet to the hard stone floor below.  They had fallen into a cavern which had laid below the fragile surface of the earth which his father in law had broken through as they had been running through the forest. 

Nythaniels broken leg healed completely and properly within the 2 day period in which he laid unconscious on the floor of the cave.  As did the wound on his forehead which had struck against a large boulder as he had crumpled from the impact.  It was this hard blow which had caused his functional form of amnesia meaning he still knew how to hunt, read and write as well as having access to his abilities which came as small revelations at first but he quickly learned how to utilize his ability to manipulate light.  The man was confused as he sat up from the cold hard stone floor of the cavern.  Getting on his hands and knees he unsteadily stood and looked up far above him to catch a glimpse of a full moon.  Although the light barely even filtered down through the trees let alone doing anything to illuminate his surroundings.  Still looking up he took a couple of stumbling steps and tripped over something which gave slightly under his feet. 

In his surprise his abilities acted seemingly of their own accord though it had truly been his wish for light which made a bright orb of light about 6 inches in diameter appear 6 feet above his head.  In the sudden light the man saw what had tripped him and with a startled yelp he scrambled away from the crumpled form of the dead man whom was his father in law though he had no memory of who the man might be.  Nearly a day later after he had buried the man under a pyre of stones Nythaniel stumbled out of the mouth of a cave in the side of a small hill.  He had no way of knowing that his total journey through the woods during the storm then later through the elaborate cave system had taken him nearly 75 miles from his  home in Salem.  Nor did he even truly know if or where he had a home let alone what his name might have been.

Shortly after finding his way out of the cave system the man with no name found a road which he began to woodenly follow after he had felled a rabbit with a stone while it was blinded by the bright blast of light he had sent towards it.  Finding a good place to build a fire just off the road he settled down to do just that.  As he was cooking his meager fare a couple of traders came up the road in their wagon.  Not long after meeting them and telling them his strange story the man found himself riding in the back of the wagon heading into the next town with his new friends who had decided to call him Jonothan Crane since he simply could not go around without a name. 

Three years later Jonothan rides into Salem in the seat of his wagon.  The back full of furs and hides which he hopes to trade or sale for supplies as he makes his way across the country side.  The man had become restless and felt an urge to travel.  He was seeking for something or perhaps someone but he had no idea who or what he was seeking.  He simply knew that whatever or whoever it was it they or it had to be found.  Suddenly as he is riding through town his nose detects the distinct smell of freshly baked bread.  Calling his team of two horses to a halt he looks to the right and sees a bakery.  Its like a siren call the desire that suddenly fills his heart to go in and get some fresh bread and perhaps a nice pastry or two.  His hair is much longer than it used to be and for the moment he is sporting a light mustache and tuft of beard on his chin.  Leaping off of the front seat of the wagon Jonothan hitches his team to a near by post and ambles over to the bakery where he stands for a long moment simply gazing in the window at great wealth of goodies just waiting to be bought. 

Relationships: Married to Kenna Newlund.  Although when he first comes back to town he is still suffering from the functional amnesia which he has suffered from for the past 3 years. 

[RainbowRian]

Approved here.  Remind me after work to post.

[Nim]

Coolies thanks!  Does that mean I can go ahead and have Nythaniel show up in Salem?

[RainbowRian]

Yes it does.  You can actually go ahead and post him as approved for me if you'd like.  I can hash out the cosmetics later.

Name: Angelique Blackwell
Occupation: seamstress
Sect: coven
Orientation: straight
Hair: straight, long light blonde hair
Eyes: steel grey
Height: 5ft6
Appearance:
Abilities:Psychic Navigation: The ability to track a person or an object with one’s mind as well as the ability to create a mental map of an area. Dream Manipulation: The power to enter, manipulate, project, alter, and control dreams of others or yourself. The user can also modify, suppress, fabricate, influence, manifest, sense, and observe dreams as well as nightmares, daydreams, etc. Sometimes the user can even unlock their hidden powers but this will exhaust her powers for almost the entire day as she has to use her own energy to unlock them before they are ready to come out on their own. The user can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares or lucid dreaming, and promote spiritual/emotional healing within dreams.
Personality: She is a bright, creative, playful girl who doesn't like to be serious unless she has to be. She has no problem saying what needs to be said if it will get the person's attention and help them to change. She is loyal to those she holds dear to her and will protect them by any means possible.   
History: Angelique is an only child who was raised in a stable home by her grandparents on her mother's side.  Her magical lineage goes farther back than anyone knows or can trace on her mother's side. However, the lineage on her father's side cannot be found at all.  Her mother practiced white magic and it was thought that her father did as well but, in truth, he practiced dark magic in secret until he was slowly consumed by his thirst for more which led to a horrible accident involving magic gone wrong.  Angelique doesn't know exactly what went on that horrible night when her parents were killed. For the sake of Angelique's well being she was simply told that her parents were practicing magic that quickly got out of control and and killed them. However,  those that are very old and powerful in the coven know the full truth behind what happened. There is concern as to whether or not Angelique possesses the same dark magics that her father had and speculate that they lay dormant within her.

Here are my notes:

Seamstress.  If she does this professionally, she and Mr. Binx would know each other and perhaps she would work with him or for him

I do not like the power absorption simply because I do not agree with being able to steal another's powers and leave them defenseless.  If the other gms disagree with me we can all discuss it but its not something I feel is needed.

I do like dream manipulation except for trapping someone in their REM cycles.

Everything else I like.

[Adrianna Paige]

not a problem. I will modify the post and change the power...

[RainbowRian]

If you want, you can keep the power until nim and cleo chime in. im not the final decision.

[Adrianna Paige]

Yeah...I think I will wait. The power absorption isn't permanent. She doesn't get to keep the power forever and the other person does regain it.  I tried to balance it out by saying she also acquires a weakness.

[RainbowRian]

I know and that was good, but you may be asked to change it to power mimicry or something.  taking powers from a witch would not go smoothly.

[Adrianna Paige]

I know and that was good, but you may be asked to change it to power mimicry or something.  taking powers from a witch would not go smoothly.

[Adrianna Paige]

[RainbowRian]

cool right! lol I like the psychometry and projected thermography too.

[Nim]

I know and that was good, but you may be asked to change it to power mimicry or something.  taking powers from a witch would not go smoothly.

mimicry/or could put more limitations on how much of the power she actually steals and harsher effects on herself... only so that she would really think twice about trying to steal someones powers.  Then again she would also have to keep in mind the the effect of the Three fold law.  which basically states you get out of life what you put into it.  Not to mention the fact the reaction of those who's powers she steals when she's back to her own self. 

hmmmm but it seems my mini book has gone for naught.. lolz

Anyway I really do like the rest of the character.  She was well thought out.   ;D

[Adrianna Paige]

I think I'm going to switch it to Psychic Navigation..."I'm going to hunt you down" takes on a whole new meaning! ;)

[Adrianna Paige]

Nim, are you alright with all aspects of the Dream Manipulation?

[RainbowRian]

I think I'm going to switch it to Psychic Navigation..."I'm going to hunt you down" takes on a whole new meaning! ;)

It does.

[Nim]

I think I'm going to switch it to Psychic Navigation..."I'm going to hunt you down" takes on a whole new meaning! ;)

uh oh.... there goes the neighborhood... lolz.  Just playing it should be rather interesting. 

Yes for the most part I liked all the parts of the  Dream Manipulation except maybe the part about being able to trap people in REM sleep.  In theory it might be interesting to think about but in a group RP some might consider that a form of Godmodding. 

[Adrianna Paige]

i will remove that part. I'm not trying to do "Godmodding".

[Adrianna Paige]

ok. It is modified so all should be okay now. I hope.

[RainbowRian]
