Realistic or Modern It's Witchin' Hour: Lore

[sprouhtt]

Past Lore:

Welcome to the town of FellWood, where the tourist attraction is rather high due to people coming back for the legends that run throughout this town. FellWood has been said to have paranormal activities taking place throughout centuries, and when people report those activities there is laughter and mockery that no such thing exists. After a couple of days, the same people who had said there were paranormal activities and the same people who laughed, all disappeared.

FellWood had been said to be a town built upon bloodshed, the founding fathers and women who used to roam these streets were no other than witches.

(updated starts here)The migration of witches/warlocks had come from all around the world, had fled their old countries due to their countries not being religiously open/tolerant, they could have been the first settlers in America until the colonists 'found' America.

The Spanish did discover South American lands in the 1400s, which spread around Europe and the witches with the magic were the first to do it.

Since the witches/warlocks, that whole community, were very quiet, it took the colonists a while to find their community. Also, the witches put up a barrier spell to give the illusion that nobody was living in that small part of what is now Fellwood.

But as time went on, more colonies were coming, so they brought down the barrier and made it seem like they arrived shortly after the colonies.

The Native Americans knew of their existence but did not say a word, since they had some similarities to religious practices (with spirits and how there are spirits in just about everything) and the natives taught them some things as well and vice versa. (updated ends here)

Though there were shreds of evidence that led to this here accusation of being witches and that was when a local had gone up to the mountains to look for more firewood when he had seen a blood ritual being performed. A young female by the age of six had been sacrificed and he watched as her lively body withered away into nothing but dust and a light of some sort going to each individual that was surrounding her. The old became new, a blood ritual of immortal beauty.

The locals that discovered this was no other than Joseph Saint Claire, a future priest of the town of FellWood and soon to be Witch Hunter. He gathered up everyone that he can find, formed many groups by sharing his findings, and other towns became aware and suspected that there were people amongst them that were witches and warlocks. That is how Salem, a neighboring town had their own run-ins with witches.

After some time had passed, a bloody battle of eradicating witches and warlocks. The number of mortals that there were outnumbered the witches and soon there were only a few witches and warlocks around. Witch hunters are what they had called themselves. People were ignorant back then and had no reasoning as to whether it was right or not. Though when they hear the word witch, it is immediately associated with the devil, evil, satan, demons and much more. But not all witches are evil, there are good witches and warlocks out there who use their powers for good. Though nobody wishes to believe them. The Religious Christian people of the town did not wish for their children nor anyone of the sort to be around something so cruel. The people they accused of being a witch, had been tortured, hung, burned dead or alive, and humiliated; and the ones who were lucky had escaped this blood bath and into the mountains to maintain and save what little people they had to their group.

Before they had retreated to the mountains, the witches had cast a curse on the town of FellWood, that the town will not hear the last of the witches that had lost their lives on this soil. The same witches that had founded and built the town to being what it was, will soon be taken back and the blood of the mortals will paint the town red.

And just like that, they were never to be seen, heard or talked about.

They had sent a couple of hunters to the mountains to make sure, but they found nothing, suspicions still arise that they had either disappeared or are now living amongst the people in town. Disguised and lurking in the shadows, preparing to make their mark.

Word had been received from Salem of these accusations and when Salem had told FellWood that there are no such things as witches since a judge called a ruling that the whole ordeal was outrageous and that the population was decreasing, it sounded foolish after a while.

After time had passed, the once battle had turned into another chapter in history, slowly being forgotten by the world and witches and warlocks turned into folklore. Though we cannot say that it was not all true, witches and warlocks still roam this very earth and an uprising is soon to take place in the near future. That is what we are told to believe, though it may not be as accurate.

That is how FellWood, Massachusetts was known for its eerie and cold history, being the home to the deadliest hunt in history, one hundred people had died upon this soil; good and evil, and only a small percentage will come back to take their revenge towards the town.

Spoiler: Present Lore

Present Lore:

FellWood has become quite a town, it is the town for its tourist attractions and museums filled with weapons that dated back to the 1500 and 1600s that were held by Witch Hunters themselves. Also, there are sections that are about witches and warlocks during that time, though it all sounds like rubbish to the modern folks and is hardly looked upon.

Though strange things have been happening in the town, weird sightings of circles drawn in the dirt in woods and other paranormal activities. Some say that the witches are still amongst us, while others believe that witches are not the other creatures out there making their mark out of the shadows.

Spoiler: Breakdown

BreakDown:

So, very sorry for that very long read haha. Initially what I want for this thread is to be a slice of life realistic mystery of the supernatural happenings and also to be filled with adventure, romance, alliances, betrayal, you know... ALL THE GOOD STUFF.

Our story takes place with the modern day era, 2019. Where the stories of Witches and Warlocks, Vampires, Werewolves have become nothing but folklore, children's bedtime stories.

But in reality, the witches they pushed away from the town, have been living amongst the humans all along. Living a normal 'mortal' life by day, and when its Witching Hour, they come alive and practice their magic in secret.

This is a thread about young witches and warlocks who have to live amongst humans and survive this mundane world in something called High School. They will live normal lives, interact, throw parties, cast a spell here and there and most importantly, trying to not get caught.

__________________________________________________

There are witches and warlocks in this roleplay as well as human roles too. Later on, I will introduce vampires and werewolves. (If you want your character to only be a vampire/werewolf, please pm me so we can talk.

Also another thing, witches/warlocks have covens (there own group/posse, so if you want your own coven, let me know when I have created the thread to put that in there. Your coven could be good or bad or neutral coven.

Here is the list of species and their breakdown
(If you have a species in mind, you may send it to me through PM or discord and I will add it here)

Vampires:
There is a process in becoming a vampire...

Process:
When a person is bitten, they have twenty-four hours to basically choose life or death.
​

• When first in transition, the victim will feel thirsty, irritating throat, high temperature, excessive sweating, irregular heartbeat, they become pale, and nausea. ​
• In order to finish the transition, they must drink from a human and their 'master' or better known as the person who had bitten them. ​
• Once the transformation is completed, that newbie vampire will be sired to their creator. (Meaning, you can feel their every emotion, and thought.)​
• The only way to break a sire-bond is by either killing the 'offspring,' or just getting a witch to cast a spell.​

Born or Bitten?:
You are not born a vampire. Since the aging for vampires is much slower, the reproduction system of female vampires runs so slow that it does not work to its full extent.
​

• The only way for them to have a child is with a werewolf/human/witch. (If a male vampire releases during intercourse in a female opposite of his species, then she can carry the child. The male reproductive system works to its full capacity.)​
• As for a female vampire getting pregnant after intercourse, that is ONLY possible if she mated with a werewolf. For some reason, a werewolf sea-men (haha), is much stronger and faster when it makes contact with the egg.​

NOTE:
Vampires can save the lives of others by giving them their blood. Since vampires have the ability to heal themselves, it is in their blood and when they give an injured person their blood, the victim becomes healed. (This cannot turn a person into a vampire. You have to die before you become an undead.)

If a vampire chooses to save a human who has died and brought them back to life. Then the vampire must give them their blood and thus when they wake, they begin their transformation by feeding.

If none of these apply, then just keep it traditional like what is stated above this. (How if a human is bitten they go through the slow process of becoming a vampire in 24 hours.)

WITCHES

There are many different types of witches and warlocks, each having a special spell or power that is unique to them, making them stand out from the crowd.

In the witch community, it is illegal to have a child with another breed because it breaks the chain. Power is passed through every full witch that is born and harnessed within the community so that it is distributed equally, and they can't do so if the chain is tainted.

A half-breed is almost like chaos in the eyes of a witch because they can either create or destroy life if not taken care of.

To a vampire, the blood of a newborn which is the key to WALKING IN THE FLIPPING SUNLIGHT (without a piece of jewelry on) and (only part of the key to the 'cure' for vampires)

Resolution: The way they used to resolve a half-breed is by killing it before it is born by putting a terrible spell on the mother that kills the child from the inside (so in other words a miscarriage).
​

• The spell requires the child being present (if it is already born), but if not then the mother. They tie them up to a cross with their hands spread as well. From there, they mix a couple of herbs while reciting a chant over the herbal potion, from there they sprinkle half of the potion on the belly of the mother or the child (if it is born). (This is a highly painful process). After, they take the remainder of the potion and add a single drop of blood from a werewolf (a werewolves blood is like part of a poison in the witch community. Very hard to get.) and have the mother drink it (if she doesn't drink it, then she is injected with the serum in her stomach. Lastly, they do one last chant and then the process is complete. (For the unborn child, the mother has a miscarriage and loses the baby. But if the child is born, then the child dies right on the cross. From there, the power has seeped into the ground, which later will be distributed within the witch community).​

WEREWOLVES:
​

Transformation:
(INFO FOR BOTH SPECIES)

• Females of these species will stand at 6 feet, while males stand at an astounding 7 feet tall.
• They bear sharp teeth that can puncture through bones
• Sharp claws that can tear through steel
• Their fur is so heavy and thick that it glistens in the moonlight.
• Female werewolves have a thinner coat then male werewolves

THE TWO DIFFERENT SPECIES IN WEREWOLF COMMUNITY
Original Werewolf:

• These werewolves as was said at the beginning to stand at 7 feet on all fours, which means that they are natural purebred werewolves. (Two werewolves that have mated together)

Duo-Misce Werewolves:

• (Latin meaning “Two Legs” since the first sighting of them was in one of the Latin American countries)
• These types of breeds are when they stand on their two legs, being a mix breed of Human and Werewolf.
• Even though they stand on two legs, werewolves who are born of the same breed are much faster than the ones who stand on both legs, what sets them apart is how agile the Duo-Misce are when running; since they can run, jump go under things grab stuff with their hands and over things more easily. They
• are easiest to kill since their fur is not as thick as a four-legged werewolf. Their appearance is of a Lycan where they have the physical appearance of a human body and ahead of a werewolf.
