Ok so. this is going to sound really crude, but for my sanity I want to break down a rough 'class' for each group of playable races. Please correct me if I'm wrongThe lore gives me a lot of inspiration. Is there a character limit?
until we get a final cast, i'll say 1 Marked character per player— tho i wouldn't say no to folks playing side-characters who are still part of the unveiled community, and helping along those who're Marked
if you'd like, feel free to throw concepts/questions around!Lots of questions. Lots of stupid character ideas. I'll have to narrow things down. Looking good!i made a lore page if you wanna check it out :3
still lookin for a bit more interest before i whip up the sign ups
To quote opI'm def interested! Especially in the Hybrids.
Can we play multiple characters? (I have two).
Sorry this isn't as long as everyone else's, I'm on my touchscreen computer and idk where my keyboard went off to.
Well, I was thinking of a fairy of the forest that has wings, but I am not sure how unveiled our marked characters can be. Their basic powers would be putting up glamours, levitation, and speaking to animals.what kind of fairy do you have in mind?Would fairies be a playable race?

aaah! yes, but there'll be a few stipulations— think winx club instead of tinkerbell, elsewhere entities that have been in the material plane for centuries. i've been at work all day, and scribbling up a reply for @EddiEddi on my breaks, but expect a write up for fairies in the next few hours— they'll be under changelings in the hybrid section!Well, I was thinking of a fairy of the forest that has wings, but I am not sure how unveiled our marked characters can be.

I love them!
sweet! and yeah, i'm gunna put a hesitant cap at 3 characters total for sign ups tho. (1 Marked, 2 side characters). as the game gets going and we see the posting consistency, i'll think about allowing more (or less)!Awesome sounds like a plan! Would three characters be allowed? one marked and two side?

Watchers/guides: These basically follow the rules of mages roughly? or humans with supernatural powers? from source being a curse/blessing/bloodline? EG Grandaddy had a bit of a thing for demon girls and now I can screw with hellfire. Or 'mommy was a very pious lady and so the angels blessed me with the power to see demons and banish them with holy light' etc?
Guides are more like clerics/paladins "The gods that be have given me a duty to set right this damaged world and to do so they have granted me strength" so can fall anywhere along the line of healers to 'I bash with glowy sword'? but are reborn from souls that have passed over to the other side. Do they keep memories of their past lives or is it only the mission given to them by the outsiders? Beyond the holy power boost do they carry anything specific?
Hybrids, This one I had some trouble pinning down, Is this like a 'half and half' of other races? Or is it more like 'You are half X supernatural and half human' EG, Half elf? Half fea? Half dragon? so you get some powers but not all? Eg half fea would give you the ability to go invisible for short times, do minor charms and illusions, and short bursts of flight? But not give you access to the first world, the ability to make fea contracts, the power to create changelings ect? Or would it be something else?
Witches would be the archetypal witch? black cat, capable of hexes, charms, potions and the like when given the right ingredients and time? Access to a coven and similar things? Or would they have a more specific array of powers?
Shifters: I take on aspects of an animal, or indeed the form of the animal? Does the animal matter beyond the influence it has on the character, What about low mythic animals (unicorn, kelpie, hippogriff, pegasus,)? Or high mythic animals (Dragon, hydra, griffon,) ? I assume the more 'powerful' the animal the more affect it has on the shifter and the harder it is to draw it out? EG, a bobcat or horse shifter would have it easier than a lion or elephant simply because the 'strength' of the creature would be much higher thus the instincts would have more weight? Is it just physical aspects, Or is it also metaphysical 'quiet as a mouse' or 'heart of a lion'?
Vampires, are we talking old world vampires (archetypal dracula, mostly human with a few minor powers like charm, ability to sneak in shadows and really hard to kill, burns in sunlight, holy symbols cannot cross running water, blessed ground, blessed water, garlic, stakes)? New world vampires (more typical fantasy vampires, superhuman strength, speed and senses, can walk up walls, explode in to a cloud of bats/smoke, explodes in sunlight, holy symbols ward away and stake-ble, can be 'killed' but returns via some method unless staked/holy symboled/sunlight), Or are we talking Nu fantasy vampires (twilight and all the similar vampires it spawned, can walk in the day, just superhuman with a need for blood, can't go out in the day for 'reason' but it won't kill them ect).
I think that partly covers my 'questions,' Once those get covered I'll probably start to draw up character specific ideas, Part of me is interested in hybrid, but I also like shifter. I know it isn't really a 'what is this' question, but The clarification of 'that is how it works' or 'if you want your character to function like that then that is how you do it' would help a huge amount.
as Eddi pointed out, you'll have 1 main character whose been Marked, and up to 2 side characters!I'm def interested! Especially in the Hybrids.
Can we play multiple characters? (I have two).
Sorry this isn't as long as everyone else's, I'm on my touchscreen computer and idk where my keyboard went off to.
If one was Marked, could my other side character stay with them throughout the rp, or just a one time thing?as Eddi pointed out, you'll have 1 main character whose been Marked, and up to 2 side characters!I'm def interested! Especially in the Hybrids.

thank ya for the interest! and no worries about lengths whatsoever, this is just an interest check and we just chattin over some basics before i whip up the signups ((:
oh of course!! from a narrative perspective, the main focus will be on Marked characters, but side characters are allowed to stick along for the entire ride!! while they wont influence as much of the world around them (like Marked characters will do), there'll still be story beats and the like for side characters to get their shining moment, it just wont be as often or as central to the plot.If one was Marked, could my other side character stay with them throughout the rp, or just a one time thing?as Eddi pointed out, you'll have 1 main character whose been Marked, and up to 2 side characters!I'm def interested!

all characters, Marked or side, need to be an unveiled in some capacity, otherwise it just wouldn't work with the established lore!
and no worries, ill be around if ya think up anymore questions!
jskjkdfjkdg im sorrySo my stupid ass didn't realize the pictures were spoilers and could be clicked on the lore page. That's a clever trick. time for lots more reading.
Also, are male witches witches? or warlocks?
"can you explain wym by what else they carry? do u mean abilities or something physical?" Ok, so they have telepathy, dematerialization and healing, Do they carry any 'unique' powers EG, "I was sent down by a higher power who has this ad part of their 'protfolio' so I get extra power x' like a little uniqueness
'Does the animal matter beyond the influence it has on the character'
Ok, so lets say I am a cat (or feline) shifter, Would that have some impact on my characters personality or likes/dislikes? Do cat and dog shifters have an innate dislike of each other? Basically beyond 'I can become animal' does it have an impact on the person. Do sheep/chickens and other prey animals tend to not want to be near a big predetor shifter? Also, This is going to sound *really* stupid and I cannot overstate how stupid this sounds. But Giant squid shifter? yes or no? not planning it as a character, but just the mental image of "So what type of shifter are you?" 'Dont wanna talk about. its stupid' being a conversation amuses me.
Right thats those answered, Now to read the actual lore page now I've discovered the hidden spoilers. I'm thinking I'm going to play a witch or hybrid.
Edit: Post lore read questions!
How does technology and magic interact? Can a vampire steal a blood bag from a bank and chow down on that? What if a witch runs a coffee shop and doses all the vampires drinks with a drop of blood? Oh on that topic, can vampires eat normal food? If a witch has an innate connection to something like light, can they use that to power solar panels over night? When a shifter shifts do they loose clothes or do they shift with? or are there like 'magic clothes' that shift with? Same for bags. If a vampire gets highlandered what sort of reaction happens, and which half regenerates? Would a crossbow or bow or similar propelled spike count as a stake for a vampire? How esoteric can patrons get? EG would water ice and steam all be one? I get 'moon' being pretty clear, But like 'the void between the stars' for a propper 'elder god' style patron? Sliding the other way, how wide do they get? Would 'light' be feasible, or would you get 'moonlight' from moon and 'sunlight' from sun ect? Is there an elemental cycle (Air>earth>water>fire>air ect) or is it more water vs fire/air vs earth/light vs dark or is it less specific and more 'how you use it' rather than what you use? Can witches use rituals to call and bind lesser creatures (minor elementals, non sentient animals like familiars)? what is the difference between a ritual and a spell in this universe (I mean I have my own separation but no idea how it'll work here)? Can several witches get together and perform a super-charged ritual? Would a witch with a nature/animal patron have the capacity for shifter-like abilities?
I know these all sound like stupid edge cases but These are less 'this is a issue' and more 'This is awesome I want to explore the lore' and again, sorry for the bombardment of questions.
witches be witches, but if you wanna call your male witch a warlock that's fine wit meAlso, are male witches witches? or warlocks?
nope, being able to heal is their uniqueness. while all races save for watchers and guides (the latter who simply reconstitutes) have an enhanced healing factor, with vampires being able to stitch together wounds within minutes, no one else has the active ability to really heal or "perform miracles" the way guides can. witches and their practitioner cousins can whip up potions or salves or write spells that take away pain, halt infection, and increase bodys natural processes, only guides can truly heal.Do they carry any 'unique' powers EG, "I was sent down by a higher power who has this ad part of their 'protfolio' so I get extra power x' like a little uniqueness
>:))))))Ok, so lets say I am a cat (or feline) shifter, Would that have some impact on my characters personality or likes/dislikes? Do cat and dog shifters have an innate dislike of each other?

yep! any animal is technically capable per lore, its just not very feasible and most of the shifters with odd and unusual shifts have died away/refused to procreate to pass along the form.yes or no?
i got answers for days >:)sorry for the bombardment of questions.
you nailed 2 outta 4 of my main inspirations for this hehe, charmed and dresden files are both such huge inspirations in this, as you rightly pointed out guides are essentially whitelighters.I have to say, your interest check and lore page are exceptional and exciting. I could probably whip up a hundred characters off the lore page alone, it's super inspiring. Well done!
So far Watchers are the most appealing race to me, personally. I'm an Aries so I have major main character syndrome sometimes and love being the center of attention =p but that's not to say I want to steal the spotlight or derive from the narrative at hand. Watchers just seem pretty unique, are they a dresden files inspired concept?
Guides also seem lowkey badass and chill. I love the dynamic between guides and their charges. Lol support roles are always fun to play because you kind of just sit back and let everyone do all the work (x lending aid when you can. Well that's how it is in League of Legends, anyways. Looks obviously inspired by the angels from charmed! (I freakin love that show btw) I can't help but think of Leo materializing back and forth all over the place.
Since there's no character roles to fill, I'm assuming there's no cap for any particular race. But I do try to be as diverse as I can, luckily no one has expressed interest in Watchers or Guides. That being said, if any folks are interested, I'm more than happy to play a blood-sucker or anything else, really, just for the sake of having a variety of different races, as that seems ideal moving forward.
So ima just sit back and happily wait to see what everyone else wants to play first before I commit to any character ideas.
