Inspired magic sign ups

DarkAncient

The rising moon
For inspired magic in order to make the experience better I am making character creation a little more interesting for everyone. In the role play I mentioned that the worlds magic comes from inspiration so I want the people creating the characters to pick what inspires you whether it be a poem or a song etc. and use your favorite piece to inspire your character below is the skeleton. Characters may be slightly modern as the world of Starling is close to the same time as us and since I know some characters will be inspired by rock music possibly I will allow things like a guitar to help them with their magic but I would like to keep characters with guns to a minimum.

Name: Goes by just "The Minstrel" refuses to use his real name.




Age: 20




Race: Human




Inspiration(should be the same as what inspired you to make them): Music




Appearance: He is always wearing a white cotton shirt and green shorts with a purple bandanna wrapped around his right leg. He carries on him 2 instruments at all times and 2 weapons a flute at his right hip, a small hand harp on his back, a dagger under the bandanna, and a sword on his back with the flute. He has short black hair which he never grooms aside from cutting it poorly with his dagger when it gets long and is about 5' 9" tall and 150 pounds. He has grey blue eyes and a small scar under his left cheekbone. He normally has a cheery appearance about him and enjoys playing happy songs.




Past/back story: When he was young The Minstrel lived in a small town at the edge of the land known as the Devil's fist. Because of the location of the town demons would arrive from the Devil's fist every once in a while to attack the townspeople. Even though they lived a miserable existence they were all still happy thanks to the music that resonated from the town every night. When he was 11 years old a stranger arrived and said that he could help them and told them of a location nearby to rebuild their city. Most of the people decided to go but he and his parents did not. After a few days word reached the town that the stranger had lead all of them to a Devil's pit and murdered each of them. This news crushed the townsfolk to the point where music stopped playing every night. Little by little everyone was taken and killed by a demon until The Minstrel began to play music again. He found then his inspiration and was able to use his music to save the remaining people and take them to safety. He was 19 when he did this and has been wandering for only a year.




Personality: The Minstrel is a very happy man and also very chatty he greatly enjoys company and will play music for anyone who asks. He rarely ever gets mad and some people have even seen him fight demons with a smile still on his face. Underneath his smile though he has a sadness of leaving his homeland and a burning anger for the man who slaughtered his people. To this day he has promised he will destroy the stranger.




Magic(should revolve around their inspiration): The Minstrel is able to effect emotions by playing one of his instruments and is even able to effect the emotions of spirits allowing him to summon the dead to fight for him. Though he prefers to play a cheery song in a bad situation he can summon angry spirits or even crush the will of his foes.




Extra info: Good luck everyone and I hope you all make great characters...or at least somebody sees this

Name: Laelly (Undisclosed last name)


Age: Looks around 23


Race: Elemental


Inspiration: Dancing


Appearance: Quite tall with pale skin, always has hair immaculatly embroided so its almost a work of art, wears a simple but elegant white dress with gold and silver moons and stars. Usually looks calm and composed regardless of situation, to the point she may seem slightly cold to people who dont know her.


Past/back story: Elementals are born/come into being on nights when a great inspiring act or event manages to pull an area out of darkness (Like the Minstrel managing to save his people).


Mostly indistinguishable from humans other than a tendancy to be slightly taller than regular humans, they are formed as a young child without family and tend to wander looking for and hopefully encouraging others to inspiration. Her capacity to start people off and help them find their inspiration and become inspirations themselves means she is sometimes viewed as something akin to an angel or religious figure, but she does her best to dispel such thinking.


Personality: Her immediate distancing from a family or constant group of friends means she is very tactical and methodical in her actions, always considering the ramifications of her actions before acting.


She can be seen as slightly cold and distant, and isnt afraid to tell someone if she things they are speaking nonsense, but while she doesnt let it show she has a large capacity for compassion and is fiercely loyal of those she deems friends, and is always willing to put herself in danger to defend the timid or meek. Always carries a pair of tonfa and a scythe with her.


Magic: Revolves around dancing. The only time she isnt entirely calm and reserved; whilst dancing she lets all her true emotions pour out as she dances. This contrast between her icy demeanour and her passionate dancing influences her magic, giving her the ability to create fire and ice. She can do so to a limited degree in normal circumstances, but the longer/ more truthfully she dances the greater the affect. To allow her to dance during combat situations she has built a martial art around circling, dancing patterns, which she used her tonfa for.


Her innate knowledge of inspiration from being an elemental means she is naturally gifted with magic, but is physically frailer than other races.


Other:Extremely relucant to sing for anyone. As an elemental she doesnt need to eat, but does need to witness other people inspiring for sustenance. This doesnt mean she gets stronger or feeds on others powers; she has her own set magical talent and skill, but going for extended periods without witnessing inspiration leads to a gradual deteriation of her physical strength the exact same way hunger does.


Can sense when inspiration is about to occur, or about to be stopped.
 
((This seems very interesting. I haven't role played on this site before, so I hope this is okay.))


Name: Nephele “Nell” Voir





Age: 17





Race: Human





Inspiration: Drawing





Appearance: Nell has fair skin and green eyes, is average height with a wiry build. She has shoulder-length light brown care that she always keeps back, usually in a braid, because it’s easier to deal with. She carries around a worn leather messenger bag that she carries her sketchbook in, as well as a small dagger in case of emergencies. She also wears a dark brown cloak that used to belong to her brother, and is useful for cold nights when she doesn’t have a place to sleep.





Past/back story: The only family Nell ever had was her father and her older brother. When she was five her brother died at the hand of someone who got their power from a demon. Her father became obsessed with the idea of demons, spending all his time reading and learning about them. He eventually came to the conclusion that, because demons were magical, all magic was inherently evil. Still, he was a kind and loving father, as best as one can be throughout her early childhood.


Nell discovered her inspiration and powers when she was 14, and was forced to hide them for fear of being accused of consorting with demons. Meanwhile, her father grew into greater and greater seclusion, isolating himself from Nell and everyone else around them. He became hateful and violent, and Nell fled her house and became a wanderer, going from town to town and doing whatever she can to get by. She knows that people are more accepting of magic in the outside world but she still has the tendency to hide what she can do from people she doesn’t trust.





Personality: Nell very quiet and shy, and has always had trouble talking with people she doesn’t know very well. She has some issues with trusting people, especially when it’s important or dangerous. In general, she thinks it’s safer to not talk to anyone at all. Although she’s timid around people, she has an insatiable curiosity about the world around her. She likes to know all she can about a place before leaving, and will be the first to step just one step forward and get a closer look at something, even if it’s potentially dangerous. Because of this, her attempts at being responsible usually go out the window when the situation is especially intriguing.


Although soft spoken, when around people she feels comfortable with Nell often talks about things that interest her, whether real or imaginary. She saves her words for things that are truly important and for people who will actually take the time to listen. She wants to make the people close to her happy, more than anything, and will attempt to please them even when it becomes detrimental to her.





Magic: Nell has the ability to draw things she has seen in precise detail and be able to summon it through the drawing. She can’t do this often, however, because depending on the size of the object and how detailed it is it can drain her of energy and give her headaches. She can also draw a place in precise detail and be able to see that place in real time, like a window to anywhere she’s looking at or has seen enough to remember completely.





Extra info: Nell isn’t fond of violence, but knows it’s sometimes necessary to defend yourself. She isn’t the most capable fighter but in a pinch can use her dagger and her speed to protect herself from demons and the like.

Name:


Maeva


-Often nick named 'Siren' -


Age:


18


Race:


Human


Inspiration(should be the same as what inspired you to make them):


Singing/music


Appearance:


She has slightly tanned skin, not pale but a healthy colour that was gained from her time in the sun. Her hair is not dyed but it a very light blonde which is often refered to as platinum as it nears a shade of white. Light freckles dust her cheeks which makes them barely visible to the eye unless they are seen up close. She has a very curvy figure, which is lithe and flexible. She stands at 5'11 with little fat upon her body, although she is not skinny.


Past/back story:


Being raised normally, her family being one that accepted music, dance and singing to their family. Her mother being a talented pianist and her father being an artist she was at a young age drawn to her families love and took to singing. She learnt instruments and drawing yet they were not her strong points.


One time when she heard her parents talking she heard her mother creating a new song, one that was destined to be sold off for money to a singer later on. However, she could not create the lyrics required, in the genre and style that the artist wanted. Maeva, finding this a way to discover something new quickly took the music sheet, and her remembrance of the tune to create the lyrics. Her mother spotting this then supported her growth in singing and writing lyrics.


Her voice, which was often refered to as one of a siren was nurtured by her parents, which made her parents delighted in the fact she had been 'gifted' with musical ability. So, she was often found in the park singing, sitting on the swing with a new friend, Elena.


Elena quickly became this Maeva's best friend and most trusted person. However, it was unfortunate that this girl had no inspiration, no muse and no love for anything. This small detail was long forgotten by Maeva and so not noticed till the point that Elena was bound with a demon.


When this occurred, Maeva lost it and it easily shattered her mind. The one person apart from her blood family broke and was gone. Being attacked she was scarred upon her back, a wound that would forever scar her mentally. Not yet understanding this she could only sob before running in fear. Elena was gone, but she wouldn't accept this. Fear and anger, both melded led her to sing quietly in the shadows of an alley, her voice cracking and broken but still it was a sound that was a dulled beauty. The demon, or her friend Elena ceased and became still, paralyzed by the sad tune and the words that she whispered. 'Kill it' Those two words broke her sobs as she reached for a shard of glass that was resting near her. She continued to sing, herself appearing to be in a trance state she grinned, a grin of mirth at the soon to be outcome.


She killed her.


After this, at the age of 14, she left and did not even return home to say goodbye to her family, only sneaking in to take some money and clothes. With the unconscious guilt she left, still appearing cheery as ever as she walked in the streets with a small humming of a tune following her steps. She travelled, taking out those who fall to demon temptation with the use of any sharp object she can get her hands onto despite the fact she has knifes hidden upon her person.


Personality:


She has a very odd personality, one which leans in two directions from her shattered mind. When not acting insane, sadistic or plain deranged she is quite happy and perky. She can be very optimistic and will be seen smiling a lot of the time. However, there is times where her past effects her and she switches. This is not a dual personality. She become a lot darker, finding amusement in taking out whoever she is hunting in the most painful way.


Magic(should revolve around their inspiration):


Maeva's magic is her singing, the tune she sings often reflects which state she resides in. If she has given in to her mental wounds or is sealing them up. Her very voice becomes intoxicating and paralyzing, lulling them into a false sense of security, or out right ceasing their movement. It could be compared to the voices of the sirens in the poem of Odysseus where the sirens lured ships to crash. Just how she lures creatures to their death. This is an ability which works by being mentally forced, meaning she can sing without affecting anyone at all. This ability is effective upon demons; however it can be easily countered by blocking it out and not listening. Demons are usually unable to stop this though.


Extra info:


Upon her neck is a small black gem, hung in the shape of a tear drop with two silver beads that rattle beside it. This is a very important item to her, passed down to her by her mother when her talent in singing was discovered. The loss of this is like stealing her heart, it is something she has bound herself to m. Meaning she would kill to get it back if It was stolen. She is a very cautious but comical character. If you want a slight idea on her look at Gasai Yuno Mikki from future diary.
