• — a grand scheme

  The magic is calling out, whispering futures in your ear-- the end of all if you let it become flesh.
  
  ---
  You've been accepted into Savior's Crest University. It took some rigorous testing but you made it. What they didn't tell you is that you wont be studying to become doctors or lawyers. No, what you're studying is magic itself and how to bend and shape it into your own. You'll be learning to become a Embracer. You'll learn the truth about the world around you and how everything you may have suspected was all true. But what they won't tell you is that you've already been here, that your life is cursed to go in the same exact cycle that "They" will you to live. Over and over again, causing the magic to rot. This is the last cycle. There is no other option...
  
  Unless you're part of the Deck: A "chosen" five lives that have created entirely new within this life cycle. A King, Queen, Jack, Ace, and the Joker. The only hope for a new future, they themselves are created with magic fused into their core. They harness a specific sort of magic to their roles, at a gifted level--except for the Joker, who was born with 2. Which fate becomes you: the destruction of everything? Or it's salvation? Play your hand carefully.

• a bit more in depth

  Battle Magic: the discipline of magic comprised of offensive and defensive spells, the study of magical warfare tactics, and the creation and buffing of magical weapons.
  
  Healing Magic: a magical discipline devoted to improving the physical and mental condition. There are many different disciplines in this branch of magic that have a variety of effects. Magicians who specialize in this area of magic are known as Healers.
  
  Alchemy: the study of the composition, structure, and magical properties of the elements. Alchemists throughout history have attempted to transmute base metals into gold, but none were ever successful.
  
  Control Magic: the ability to control another's mind through sheer willpower, allowing the one performing spells to control their actions, memories, thoughts, etc.
  
  Physical Magic: the magic discipline centered around the ability to manipulate the nature and properties of matter and energy. The many disciplines that branch from this group allow Magicians to manipulate heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, gravity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms. It is extremely rare though, now thought of as a myth.
  
  Luck Magic: User can manipulate luck by manifesting an energy that can make an unlikely event either positive or negative to happen. They can shift the energies to accomplish different effects due to its concentration; thus, the energy may be pre-existing.
  
  Divination(Psychic Magic): User can employ divination, a method of reading the future, the present and the past and/or provide help to a problem at hand by using an occultic, standardized process or ritual. Divination can be achieved by communicating with the supernatural (i.e. gods, demons, spirits, nymphs) or by reading certain patterns.

• the star cast

  Roles are as follows:
  King (M/F/NB): Specializes in Control Magic. They can persuade most people to do almost anything. They get by on their looks but secretly they need attention so they're validated.
  
  Queen (F): A exceptionally talented healer. She can stitch wounds together without incantation, which is rare. With her heart worn on her sleeve she is rather reckless when it comes to saving lives. Could it be that she is motivated by loss?
  
  Jack (M): The alchemist, he is bound by curiosity. He has a need to learn and puts everything on the backburner in order to his potions and practices. However, he is insanely proficient at putting these things together. He'd be really popular if he wasn't such a know it all.
  
  Ace (F/M/NB): The badass. No, really, they're a badass user of Battle Magic. Don't cross them. They're guarded but they are not some helpless victim in this or any other realm. Disrespect will get your head on a pike, which could be a quite literal thing considering their temper.
  
  and I will be taking the role of the Joker: a cool little nerd who can channel the powers of luck and physical(but at what cost?).
  
  I'm looking for the best so apply for any role you like.

• the rules

  Look, just follow the rules and be good, decent people and we'll get by just fine. That's all i ask. And i will roast whoever causes and tiffs or issues in our group setting.
  
  Discord will kinda be mandatory. So will dedicated participation(barring any life issues that may occur) and literacy on a decent enough level.
  
  Other than that, we're icy cool.
  
  Thanks!

Hello! I like the look and sound of this, but if I'm following things right, there's only one spot left. Is that correct? If there are other people already involved, I think I would feel like the odd one out to be the only person who was recruited through the interest check.

Sorry, the roles are open. I just forgot to relabel them as such

 

[LavenderRain]

Awesome! I'm interested. What is the meaning of the various roles? Or is that something that hasn't really been decided yet?

I have to set up the lore, but the roles have an affinity for a specific magic type. Stay tuned while I tweak everything. And thanks for the interest!

 

[.empathogen.]

I have redone the Interest Check with a bit of Lore concerning the roles and the magic involved. Check it out!

 

[Walliver]

I’d be interested in the Queen role, this looks cool!

 

[AI10100]

Looks interesting dude! I'm kind of eyeing up that Ace role

 

[. D O V E]

I love the premise and the lore! I think that the origin of magic is pretty unique, not to mention heart-wrenching.
I'm interested in taking the King role, although I have a couple of questions. Does the King have to be male? And will we be using realistic or fantasy face claims?

 

[Colorless Spectrum]

This is very interesting may I ask why there's no role for Divination tho?

 

[LavenderRain]

I am interested in either the Ace or the Jack role.

The king role is not gender locked. And, I will hold a poll for the fc type.

 

[.empathogen.]

Because DIvination can be done by everyone. It's kinda like the baseline for an Embracer.

 

[Colorless Spectrum]

I see! Well throwing my hat for Queen or Jack then!

I have the CS page locked and loaded. Anyone who is interested may apply.

Also, If you re-read the roles, I've expanded upon their quirks and definition.

 

[Colorless Spectrum]

What's our age bracket? Are we teens? Young adults?

young adults

 

[AI10100]

Oh wait the votes are tied between realistic and art FCs, what are we settling with?

Posted a WIP for now because I was unsure of a few things, so I have a few questions.

For one, what is the setting of the RP? Modern era? Would this work like Percy Jackson where Savior's Crest would be equivalent to Camp Half-blood? Do our characters know that they're of magic descent or are they unknowing of it? if it is the latter, are they able to perceive magic around them, if there is, if they don't know that they can do it because written in the lore "Only those who want it can wield it."? Also if they don't know if they are of magic descent, does Savior's Crest present itself as a normal school? Do they apply in assumption of taking a mundane program like a BS degree in Pharmacy, or would they be receiving a letter that they are accepted into Savior's Crest like in Hogwarts?

The rp takes place in a modern era and the school is kinda like Camp Half Blood in the way that it is unseen to the normal eye. To everyone other than embracers it just looks like a patch of land. If they approach it, they immediately want to turn back. If you don't believe in magic you won't see it or precieve it in any way. You recieve a letter that tests your magic. If you can see what the letter really says, you're in. Some people are from a long line of Embracers, some are completely new to the craft. I hope this answers the majority of your questions.

It's certainly helpful! Might I ask if it's possible to also be from a long line of Embracers and be unknowing of it? Like for example, my character's mother didn't know of their heritage and in turn my character also didn't know of it until a certain event that led to her using magic subconsciously.
