The Magicians: Legacies (Freeform Sandbox) [Recruiting]

[Mellific]

Here is what I have for my student... Please let me know if I should edit/alter anything at all! :>

Brooke Bancroft

Name: Brooke Bancroft

Gender/Sexuality: Female / Heterosexual

Age: 21 / November 13, 2001

Birthplace: Hertfordshire, United Kingdom

Year: Senior

Occupation: Barista outside of Brakebills, somewhere in Upstate New York (she tries to keep it a secret that she has a job)

Magical Discipline: Psychic / Dream Manipulation & Precognition




Physical Appearance: Brooke has long, shiny brown hair which is typically worn down, either curled, wavy, or straight. She has an olive complexion and caramel colored eyes. Her body shape is curvaceous, despite her only reaching 5'4 in height. Her lashes are naturally long and her lips are naturally plump. She tends to wear makeup that makes her face look dewy and shiny in the best of ways. Her nails are always perfectly manicured and polished. She's constantly sporting the trendy fashions and expensive brands.

Personality Traits: Snobbish, Materialistic, Self-confident (outwardly), Insecure (internally), Secretive

Brief History: Despite her oftentimes unpleasant exterior, there is a bit more to Brooke than meets the eye. She has always been someone who comes across as being popular, not due to being well liked, but due to her status. She typically has the nicest and most expensive brand name or designer products, and has no issue flaunting them. Yet, it is a delicate balance, because not all things are as they appear. In order to spare her reputation, Brooke may sometimes be secretive or outright lie to others. It's all with the intention of preserving herself and her family name; an issue of pride because she would hate to lose her self-made status.

Ever since she was a child, she knew that she was a little different. Whenever she had a strange and particularly vivid dream, she'd tell her parents, who would brush it off when she was a child. They claimed she had a very vivid and active imagination. However, as she aged and the dreams became more peculiar, they could no longer deny that it was very odd. Eventually, she was reached out about Brakebills University and after passing the initial exam with a demonstration of dream manipulation, she realized that her abilities were a gift. Unfortunately, that gift was one she couldn't share with her parents. At least not without getting express permission from the University.

After years of having to lie to her parents, she felt that it may have been best to keep her two worlds separated. In fact, there were many things about her life that she tried to compartmentalize because merging her worlds seemed much too complicated. So, what might happen when this year, she is forced to do just that?

What are the goals of your character both short and long term. Work? Family? Etc
I have a plan to create character development for Brooke. I would like to have her experience being vulnerable and sharing that vulnerability with someone who makes her feel safe. I'd also like it, if possible, to work something out where there's a potential that magic being around is in some way contributing to her father's illness. Should there ever be a time when magic is 'gone,' it would be amazing to have her dad feel like he's suddenly healed, only for magic to 'return,' which causes his illness to also return. It would be wonderful to have her question the worth of magic, when it also has such unthinkable consequences; a conflict that would exist between her and magic itself.

Likes: Brand name and designer products, being at the best parties, getting all the attention
Dislikes: Hearing others chewing, burping, slurping, and breathing loudly, being kept waiting, not getting her way

Family & Friends:
Father - Bradley Bancroft - 55 - Bedridden with an early diagnoses of Parkinson's Disease. He was first diagnosed at age 50 and rapidly declined.
Mother - Penelope Bancroft - 50 - Works as a nurse at an Upstate New York Hospital. Picks up multiple shifts often in order to make ends meet. Works at home with her husband as his personal bedside nurse.
Paternal Grandmother - Ester Bancroft - Deceased - She had been well cared for in her last years of life, but the death of her grandmother had affected Brooke a lot in her first year of University. She passed away the summer before Brooke started at University, and it nearly kept Brooke from attending at all.
Extended family - All other family still lives in the UK, or are not considered to be as close-knit as the family mentioned.




Face Claim: Mimi Keene

On's and Off's:
Ons - Attention, Casual sex, Validation, Cheap cologne, Risky sex, Public sex, Rough sex, Multiple orgasms, Oral sex, Quickies, Clothed sex, Passionate sex
Offs - Threesomes or Moresomes, Bondage, Non-con & Dub-con, Infantilism, Humiliation, Spit, Abuse, Permanent markings

Extra: Brooke has an English accent that sounds like this.

Character looks great.  Approved.  Feel free to put her sheet up.

Also you mentioned her being a Barista outside of the school, I do plan on having a neighboring town that has connections to the school called Briarwood where there are a number of Hedge Witches so may be a place for her.  It's kind of the place where most student and faculty go if they aren't going to NYC on the weekends.  I mentioned it briefly in the current timeline write up but really do need to do a write up of the town as well here.

a wild student appears!  Albie Newdegate

Name: Albie Newdegate

Gender/Sexuality : Male / Heterosexual

Age: 22, March 21st

Birthplace: Bradford-on-Avon, UK

Year: 4th Year

Occupation: Dishwasher - Pub in Briarwood

Magical Discipline: Illusions




Physical Appearance: Albie is 6’2” tall, and weighs around 180lbs, which gives him a lean lanky look just this side of skinny.  Albie dresses very frugally considering his upbringing, and finds shopping for new clothes to be ridiculous when there are perfectly good finds at thrift stores everywhere.  Albie is usually clean shaven, but at times forgets and gets a little wispy scruff.


Personality Traits:
Clever - Albie does well with many subjects, when he puts his mind to it.  He almost could have been a Knowledge discipline, but he is often distracted as well.

Awkward - Albie struggles in positive social situations like parties and dating.  He likes the thought of such things, and definitely tries, but usually mucks it up.

Meek - Albie will attempt to avoid confrontation at all costs. He is just not cut out to be a hero, or a fighter.  While he gets as mad as anyone else, he would prefer to channel that into turning the other cheek and leaving the situation.

Principled - Albie believes your word in the most important thing you have.  He would never betray another’s confidence or share a secret.  If he makes a commitment, he’d kill himself trying rather than fail to meet up to it.

Frugal - Having always been floating just above poverty, Albie can stretch a little money a long way.

Brief History:
Albie grew up as the only child of his parents George and Kaite Newdegate.  A rather happy home, with his father a lorry driver and his mother an estate agent, Albie was not poor but decidedly middle class.  Still, he had plenty of friends around the neighborhood, and if a few things had gone strange around him, it was all put down to coincidence.

When Albie was six, his father was in a terrible accident, and while he held on for a few days, he eventually passed away in hospital.  Albie does not remember much of this time.  He remembers spending time in the hospital, and his mother and aunts sending away to visit the gift shop, with tears in their eyes, while they talked to doctors and made hard decisions.

With his Dad gone, things got much harder on the Newdegate’s, with Albie’s mother working herself to the bone just to keep them clothed and fed, and while he might have turned to a bad group of friends, especially considering where they lived, Albie did all he could to be good, helping around the house and just trying to be self sufficient and as little a burden as possible.

After a year or two, things in the UK became too tough, and Albie and his mother came to the US to live with her cousin.   Albie adjusted somewhat well, finishing American high school without trouble and taking his first job waiting tables.  It was here that Albie’s “troubles” began.  It would seem sometimes that when he stood too still, or faded back, that people just wouldn’t see him.  Then when he’d move, he’d startle people.

Thinking he was just one of those people who were ‘invisible’ in life, it was not until a member of Brakebills University found him and explained that this was latent Illusion Magic that he really understood.  Leaping into the University with both feet, Albie finds it all still fascinating after four years, and will gladly look into any type of magical display he can.

What are the goals of your character both short and long term. Work? Family? Etc
Albie would love to learn true Invisibility, and Mirror Magic.  He feels there is a secret world there just waiting to be tapped.
He also secretly harbors a desire to learn to fly (assisted likely) but has never told anyone that

Likes: Reading, Fireplaces, Hot Chocolate, thunderstorms, pets
Dislikes: Confrontation, Public speaking, spiders, peer pressure, exercise

Family & Friends:
George Newdegate - Father - deceased
Katie Newdegate - Mother
Alicia Doyle - Aunt (Mother lives with her)

Friends: to be added later

Thank you! I'll get her posted up!

As far as the Barista thing goes, I think that because Brooke wants to keep her job a secret (since rich people should not need jobs, in her opinion), she would avoid the places that are heavily populated by other Magicians, on the chance someone might recognize her there, lol. Of course, if it's easier, I can just have her work in Briarwood and hide when someone comes into the coffee place she works at!

Oh that's fine, I didn't realize that was the aim so you can keep it as in some other city around if you wish, there are a few.

Here is what I came up with for a Professor. Please let me know if any of this needs to be edited/altered! :>

Sloan Ashley

Name: Sloan Ashley

Gender/Sexuality : Female / Heterosexual

Age: 33 / August 22nd, 1990

Birthplace: Saratoga Falls, New York

Year: Graduated Alumni

Occupation: Illusion Professor

Magical Discipline: Illusion / Mirror Magic & Vertigo Induction




Physical Appearance: Sloan's eyes are haze, shifting from a vibrant shade of almond brown, to a forest green, particularly in the sunlight. She stands at 5'6, with a pear shaped body and feminine curves. Her complexion is not unlike that of a porcelain doll, and her skin tone is much the same. She has subtle dimples that show up when she smiles and her high cheekbones and pointed nose are dusted with freckles, often covered by makeup. Her hair is bleached blonde, with natural brown roots visible most of the time. Most often her hair is kept long enough to be curtained around her shoulders.

Personality Traits: Charismatic | Dramatic | Impulsive | Outgoing | Competitive

Brief History: Sloan and Shawn grew up together, but spent most of their younger years being raised by their live-in nanny. Their parents were too busy to be parents on most days which created a strained relationship for them all. They were more than happy to leave cash and write checks when their kids needed something though, as if money might be the answer to all of an adolescent's problems. Though their home life was unfortunate, it did bring the sibling closer together. When the day came that they both stumbled into Brakebills University, they were so hopeful for the future and what it could bring, with magic included. Unfortunately, Shawn failed the exam and his memory was wiped clean about Brakebills. Sloan was given permission to tell him the truth after requesting it, but Shawn only grew more depressed, leaving Sloan to wonder if it would have been better to leave him in the dark.

She learned about her abilities and how to harness them on campus. Before acceptance into Brakebills, she had no inkling of any magic ability whatsoever. A skeptic of sorts, she was always able to convince herself that whatever she thought she saw in the mirror wasn't really there, or that an image she thought she saw was no more than a mere hallucination or mirage. Not only that, but even without practice, she noticed a pattern of others saying they felt 'dizzy' when they were in her presence. Thankful for her competitive years at Brakebills, she couldn't fathom returning to regular life and immediately requested an internship with the school. Once a position as a professor opened, she jumped on it and now teaches the very magical skill she possesses. There is always more to learn and she finds that even as she teaches her students, she is still constantly challenged and ever learning. This is her third year as a professor, after choosing to take a few post-graduate courses on education.

What are the goals of your character both short and long term. Work? Family? Etc
Sloan may be a mostly developed character, but there is a lot of room for growth in her relationships. There may be some work for her to do in terms of getting onto speaking terms with her parents, who she essentially cut off ever since she became an adult and went to therapy, where she learned that what happened to her during childhood was not okay. She has an issue with abandonment, which makes sense given her past, and is something that she will struggle to overcome during her arc. She also has an unhealthy relationship with being a perfectionist. As a child, she was convinced that if she did well enough in some area of her life, her parents would pay more attention to her. This has led to a complicated relationship with a multitude of things in her life (prioritization, time management, making mistakes). Finding a way to get her to overcome or at least face some of these issues head-on would be really great.

Likes: Winning, Creating illusions, Surprising others, Female empowerment, Singing
Dislikes: Being forgotten, Being ignored, Rejection, Failing, Losing

Family & Friends:
Parents - Everleigh and Weylin Ashley are well known among the elite. They are wealthy beyond measure due to their individual success. Weylin is a renowned film director who has adapted countless beloved book series into well known films, and Everleigh is the actress he most often chooses to play the leading lady. They first met on a set when she auditioned for a minor role. He was so enamored that he convinced her and everyone on set that she was the next biggest star. Thanks to his movie magic, he was right. The two have been so busy with movies, premieres, fundraising, and other socialite events, that they barely had time for their children.
Little brother - Shawn Ashley tried to make it at Brakebills, but he failed the initial examination and fell into a downward spiral of depression afterward. He still lives in New York, his dreams of becoming a Magician squashed. He currently spends most of his time at the writing table for his father's scripts.




Face Claim: Dianna Agron

On's and Off's: Vanilla sex; hasn't experienced much beyond that

Extra: Sloan does not sing professionally, but only sings to herself and when she is alone to keep it from getting too quiet. Her singing voice sounds like this.

*plants and interest flag*

Mellific explained to me that my lack of Magician knowledge about the books and show (I've only seen season one) shouldn't be a huge issue as long as I read up on the lore in the World Building thread, so here I am~

*waves at Mel*

Question: I'm working on a character whose disciple is healing. As a fourth year, would they be working in the clinic at Brakebills already? Or is that all students with healing magic study from year one?

Welcome.  Yeah, knowing the series and books isn't necessary at all.  The lore is there that might be needed along with some vids even just because the hand movement is sweet. lol 

Well, the Infirmary is also the Healing Discipline's House so early year students are required to put in time at the clinic, though they can volunteer, other than for classes though all are considered on call for anything major, since they are living right there.  But later year students can earn extra credit towards graduation as like a lab work.

Thanks for the quick answer.
OK, I think I understand this a bit better now.
So while living there they do on-the-job training at the Infirmary from the first year and on.
But they can volunteer/work extra hours for extra credit?
Yet they also still take classes with the rest of the students at Brakebills.
If I'm way off base on this, my apologies.

Yayyy, Rainy! I'm always here for help and so is the Wiki fan page, lol. But Kakihara is doing an amazing job with the lore, so I'm not worried about you! So glad to have you joining! <3

No you are pretty much on point other than on the job training.  They really don't go into it on the show, like every Discipline has a house and the Healing Discipline's house includes the infirmary but I assume it's more like attached to it.  So the first years can volunteer to be like helpers, since most won't have a lot of experience, but it's more if they wish.  So if players want to rp with that it's ok.

And yes, no matter the discipline they are designated with, everyone goes through the same classes and learn a rounded magical capability, including now combat magic.  Discipline is more for sorting into their house so students are surrounded by alike people to improve themselves, since most learn outside of classes as well.

Ooooh, Rainy's here.

*waves at Wolfling* Heeeey~
Glad to see so many awesome writers around here.

Audrey Charlotte Reagan

Name: Audrey Charlotte Reagan

Gender| Sexuality: Female | Hetero-flexible

Age: 22 Years Old | August 12th

Birthplace: Los Angeles, California

Year: 2nd Year

Occupation: Heiress

Magical Discipline: Psychic - Mainly Telepathy and Mind Control



Physical Appearance: 5'7" | 130 lbs | Dark Blonde Hair | Sapphire Blue Eyes

Personality Traits: Magnetic | Seductive | Dignified | Arrogant | Ambitious | Vain | Diva | Realistic | Manipulative

Brief History:

Born in a prestigious magical family, Audrey never really want for anything as she had known only to receive the very best of treatments and was dotted by her parents. Being the only daughter and the youngest of her family, she was brought up knowing she had to be the very best among the best within their society. Her father was very well known among his peers, let alone that their family was old money where they basically inherited their wealth from one generation to another —  but it didn't stop her family from breaking into investment firms and property management.

Everything seemed perfect at first — that was until her mother suddenly fell ill and was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer, chronic myeloid leukaemia, when Audrey was only just a teen. From then on, her life drastically changed — even more so when her brother had enough of his parents, especially when their father disapproved of him wanting to marry his long-term girlfriend whom their parents deemed unfit. Instead of confirming their parents' ideals, Francis left the household and the family to pursue his happiness while leaving his only little sister to fend for herself.

Since then, her father had solely focused on her and making sure she would be moulded into the perfect heiress to take over the family business and inherit the family fortune. Her mother was given the best medical care and facility, though her body had become frail, and she would tire quickly. Despite that, Audrey remained ever close to her and made sure to spend as much time as she could with her, especially when the whole family had known how her father couldn't help himself and slept with other women behind his dying wife's back. Even then, Audrey remained ever-poised and ever determined to make her parents proud, while also to ensure she would not be the same failure like her brother.

What are the goals of your character both short and long term. Work? Family? Etc
Short Term: To keep her popularity in check and making sure she keeps with her studies.

Likes: Luxury items, branded goods, pretty dresses and clothes, high heels, make-up, jewellery, dark chocolate, sophistication, maturity, secrets, rumors, gossiping
Dislikes: Very spicy food, counterfeit items, flashy colours, immaturity, clingy people, stupidity

I understand, sometimes one has to waffle on the faceclaim before stumbling on the perfect one.  Approved.  Feel free to post in the character thread.



Also, just to note, I am working on a starting thread for orientation day, which most students would attend, as well as for all the various houses.  Also since we had enough I've submitted for a big group board which should help organizing better and easier.  And will also post up a calendar and all once that is done.

Alejandro Muñoz

Name: Alejandro Muñoz

Gender/Sexuality: Male/Heterosexual

Age: 24, February 14th

Birthplace: Madrid, Spain

Year: Second

Occupation: Waiter

Magical Discipline: Physical - Fire Manipulation




Physical Appearance: 5'10", 157 lbs, dark brown hair, light brown eyes


Personality Traits: Flirty | Passionate | Loud | Charismatic | Prideful | Possessive | Materialistic | Confrontational

Brief History:
Born to a lower class family who was just getting by, Alejandro always had his eyes to the moon, wishing for something more than what he had. He didn't like living the way he did and he certainly knew that living the rest of his live in what he considered complete squalor was out of the question; he needed everything.

So in order to earn money, he did plenty of odd jobs here and there until he was discovered by a talent scout who asked him to join his cabaret club. Alejandro was promised an extravagant wage and he accepted it on the spot. It was here that he used his natural charisma and talent for conversation, as well as his good looks, to entertain women.

Everything was going well until one night, the boyfriend of one of the women he was entertaining crashed into the club. The man was a notorious gangster and he didn't appreciate that his woman was going every night to see Alejandro. He had caught some rather spicy messages between the two and he went to deal with Alejandro himself. So a chase ensued and Alejandro ran for hours through the streets of Madrid. In the end, he was cornered and they started to beat him. Out of desperation, he felt something begin to burn inside of him and right before the boyfriend could deal the finishing blow with a crowbar he'd brought, Alejandro held his hand out and set him on fire. Amidst the panic and confusion, Alejandro managed to escape and return to his flat. He wasn't sure what happened.

The day after, a letter arrived at his front door. Inside it was a message written explaining that he was seen the night before and explained that the phenomenon that Alejandro experienced was indeed magic. Alejandro couldn't believe it at first, but continuing to read the message. It explained that there was a school that accepted people who could use magic from all over and they were taught how to hone their abilities. It was hard to believe but Alejandro knew that his life in Madrid was over after what he did, so he gathered all his belongings that could fit in a small suitcase and took the first plane out to The City That Never Sleeps.

What are the goals of your character both short and long term. Work? Family? Etc

Nice.  Character looks good.  Approved.  Feel free to add them to the character sheet thread when you can.

[Kakihara]

Well, we are at big game status now just form the applications.  I'm working on getting some more stuff up as far as the calendar and rules here.  I'm going to open things up with an Orientation post for new students, and existing students to help them.  A party for staff and students will happen on that day, a sort of mingler along with any parents and patrons may be there.  Not required to post there but will be a way for some brushing of shoulders and such. 

I'm debating about a social media thread, I know a lot like that.  n the books, cell phones and electronics are forbidden on campus or just plain don't work because the campus is encrusted with so many old spells.  They never really establish that in the TV show and with how things have changed, I feel like the restriction would have been.  Still, computers and cells may have issues in certain areas due to the residual spells so crystals may be needed in certain public areas to avoid them short circuiting. lol 

Big Game Thread

Edit: Also I've asked Timeless to co-GM with me and totally not to take advantage of her graphical design skills and wonderful aesthetic choice... well not only because of that... >.>

[Kakihara]

A wild Hazel appears

Name: Hazel "Haze" Moore

Gender/Sexuality: cis-female -- heterosexual**

Age: 25 (August 13th)

Birthplace: Atlanta, Georgia

Year: Fourth Year

Occupation: Hazel loves to perform songs at open-mic events when not putting extra credit hours in at the Infirmary.

Magical Discipline: Healing Magic




Physical Appearance: Hazel stands slightly around average height at 5 ft. 7 in. She has an athletic but curvy build, and her hair is a dark brown--nearly black. Her eyes are also brown. She often likes to wear stylish and trendy clothes.

Personality Traits: Adaptable | Responsible | Detail-Oriented | Impatient | Callous | Overprotective | Collaborative

personality expanded

Adaptable: Hazel can quickly adjust her techniques and approaches to suit different people's needs in a dynamic magical environment.
Responsible: Haze takes her healing role seriously and is dedicated to fulfilling their responsibilities at the school.
Detail-Oriented: Precision is crucial in magic, and Hazel pays close attention to details to ensure the best results.
Impatient: In her desire to see quick results, Hazel often becomes frustrated when her magic doesn't show immediate improvement or results.
Callous/Lack of Empathy: Hazel sometimes struggles to understand or connect with other people's emotions.
Overprotective: On the flip side, Hazel sometimes becomes overly protective of other people's lives and safety, resulting in boundary issues and potential conflicts.
Collaborative: Hazel works well in a team, cooperating with other magical practitioners and sharing her knowledge to improve outcomes.

Brief History:
Hazel Moore grew up in a family of skilled healers where magic was an integral part of her life from a young age. Growing up, Haze was surrounded by stories of her ancestors' accomplishments, which set high expectations for her abilities. Hazel was expected to carry on the family legacy, leading her to develop a strong sense of responsibility from a young age. Her siblings Elena, Lucas, and Olvia also contributed to her competitive nature. Elena, the eldest sibling, is great at being nurturing and wise--sometimes offering guidance to Hazel. Lucas, the second sibling, is adventurous and outgoing but strives to branch out away from healing magic, focusing on physical magic. And Olivia, the third sibling, is knowledgeable in exorcisms and potions and has a more competitive attitude than Hazel. Olivia isn't the type of sister to share secrets or give guidance--often telling Hazel to find answers on her own. Haze is the youngest sibling.

In her free time, Hazel sings to help with her emotional expression since it's hard for her to convey her emotions otherwise. Singing allows Hazel to process her feelings and connect with her own emotions. In her early years at Brakebills, Hazel excelled in her studies due to her detail-oriented nature. However, this heightened her competitive streak and impatience with other students (and sometimes staff) who challenged her by being better than her--or those who couldn't keep up. Yet it wasn't always sunshine and rainbows, as Haze had a setback during her second year at Brakebills, a magical mishap that resulted in another student nearly losing their leg. Now she is often cautious, overprotective, and sometimes controlling regarding others' safety. As she continued her studies at Brakebills, Hazel witnessed how true collaboration and empathy could lead to more effective healing. Although she is getting better at sharing knowledge, she still struggles to connect with others on an emotional level--often looking at the injury first before understanding the person.

Character Goals:
🕊 To be one of the best healers in her areas of study--better than her sister Olivia.
🕊 To become more empathetic with others.
🕊 Developing new magical healing techniques that push the boundaries in her field.

Likes: Singing | Magical Research | Herbal Teas | Junk Food (guilty pleasure) | Moderate weather | Nature Walks | Yoga | Cooking (though she's not very good at it)
Dislikes: Unnecessary Drama | Spicy Foods | Freezing Temps. | Extreme Heat | Lack of Progress | Manipulative People

Family & Friends:
⛥ William Moore: father - 63 years old.
⛥ Eleanor Moore: mother - 56 years old. Deceased.
⛥ Elena Moore: eldest sister - 34 years old.
⛥ Lucas Moore: brother - 30 years old.
⛥ Olvia Moore: sister - 28 years old.


Face Claim: Saweetie (Diamonté Harper)

On's and Off's: Link to O/O's.

Extra:
🕯 Her affinity is Injury Treatment, but she also focuses on Curse Analysis.
🕯 **Throughout the story, Hazel learns she's actually pansexual.
