Insurgence RP - Signups/Interest

[Through the Living Hope]

The tyrant king reigns over the world (no this isn't Mistborn). What the populace don't know, but the king does, is that this has only been the case for two weeks. However, he has wiped their memories, and  this has been the case as far back as everyone can remember.

But your characters are tired of it.

Options for magic, provided by Argenti. You can choose up to three, but unless you were noble pre-wipe you can only be proficient in one.

Spoiler

Fire Magic: No microwave? No problem! Keep food warm, maybe get in large groups put out a fire? Users are called Flames.

Plant Magic: Greenest thumb ever, those plants are in perfect health!  In large groups, get bigger yields, greener leaves, ect. Users are called Growths.

Water Magic: To the tune of Rain On Me by Lady Gaga. Rain. On. NOT YOU! Keep dry(er), Wick away your sweat faster, and clean clothes with more ease! Users called Streams.

Air Magic: Wind messing up your perfect hair? No longer! Have better balance, fall slower, and not a chance of the wind revealing your comb-over. Users are called Gales.

Gravity Magic: Oh no! You dropped your glass! What's this? It slowed down enough for it to not break? How grand! Users called Buoys.

Earth Magic: Find the CarCarriage key's you missed, and make sure you get all the rocks while plowing! Users called Crags.

Illusion Magic: You've got a pimple, and tonight is the big ball!! Just cover it with an IllusionPatch™ to make sure no one sees it! Glossy hair.... Glass skin... Users are called Mirages.

Healing Magic: Keep waking up with strange bruises? Well no longer will you have to wander around, being asked who beat you senseless while you slept. Just heal those micro-breaks! Users are called Allays.

Divination Magic: Pick a card, any card! Is this not a causality lock that will put on a set course and forbid you from free will? Either hyper-specific (Be wary of rain next Tuesday when three geese fly overhead), or hopelessly vague! (When cooperation flies overhead, be wary of things that may darken your mood!). (Does not affect players) Users are called Clairvoyants.

Warding Magic: Vermin bothering you? An Ex that won't leave you alone? Put a ward down! Now the common practitioner can ward a room or so, stopping small animals from getting in, and making it less desirable for humans, but in groups, barriers over whole houses are possible! Users are called Spectres.

Animal Magic: OH GOD, A RABID PIGEON! Oh. He's friendly. Animals love you, and merchants fear you! Your hawks will be more willing to work with you! In groups, maybe you can breed stronger animals, or even control them! Users are called Âmes.

Light Magic: You've been trapped in a dark cave.... Luckily, you can just make a mote of light! Illuminate the world, show off all the tricks, make a lightshow! Users are called Sparks.

name: Jac (short for jackor)

gender: male

age: 23

occupation: apprentice 

hobbies: reading, general cosmology 

skills: good memory, relatively smart.

family: single father, and an older brother 

before wipe: kind of stubborn and crass at times, but a genuinely good person

after: they feel kind of… dull. Like a dampened version of their old self.

Just curious. You said minimal magic. Just that mean magic is weak, but somewhat common, or relatively powerful, just really rare?

Spoiler

Name: Jasmin

Gender: Female

Age: 34

Occupation: Weather-Mage (Predicating, and in groups, helping nudge the weather. NOT summon lightning, more like decrease rain)

Hobbies: Cloudwatching, Gossip Mongering, Mapping.

Skills: Jasmin has 20 years of experience in weather magic, she can predict the weather. Ever since the wipe, she's been chatty and a socialite, with friends everywhere.

Family: Jasmin has a brother, Jakob (No relation), and a daughter, Ayesha. 

What they were like before the wipe: Jasmin was dour, who darkened the room whenever she entered. She constantly complained, and was a frankly miserable person to be around. She had very few friends outside of work. Her brother, a successful merchant, raised her daughter in his large compound instead of her.

What they are like now: Jasmin is a ray of sunshine! Her smile and bubbly laughter brighten the room! She never complains, and always has a story to tell. Her bum brother lives in her guest room, having long lost his mind, muttering about the strangest things! Must be nothing! Jasmin, Her daughter, and her brother live on a large compound owned by Jasmin.

So like, mostly small, Quality of life, Utility magic? Here's a few other examples off the top of my head for people to mess with.

Fire Magic: No microwave? No problem! Keep food warm, maybe get in large groups put out a fire?

Plant Magic: Greenest thumb ever, those plants are in perfect health!  In large groups, get bigger yields, greener leaves, ect.

Water Magic: To the tune of Rain On Me by Lady Gaga Rain. On. NOT YOU! Keep dry(er), Wick away your sweat faster, and clean clothes with more ease! 

Air Magic: Wind messing up your perfect hair? No longer! Have better balance, fall slower, and not a chance of the wind revealing your comb-over. 

Gravity Magic: Oh no! You dropped your glass! What's this? It slowed down enough for it to not break? How grand! 

Earth Magic: Find the CarCarrige key's you missed, and make sure you get all the rocks while plowing!

Illusion Magic: You've got a pimple, and tonight is the big ball!! Just cover it with an IllusionPatch™ to make sure no one sees it! Gossy hair.... Glass skin...

Healing Magic: Keep waking up with strange bruises? Well no longer will you have to wander around, being asked who beat you senseless while you slept. Just heal those micro-breaks!

Divination Magic: Pick a card, any card! Is this not a causality lock that will put on a set course and forbid you from free will? Either hyper-specific (Be wary of rain next Tuesday when three geese fly overhead), or hopelessly vague! (When cooperation flies overhead, be wary of things that may darken your mood!). Also like, if we're playing this, it shouldn't work with humans.

It makes sense for individual people to be less "powerful" on their own, but in larger and larger groups, they can cast real, genuine magic. For example, healing magic could mend bones when 12 people work together, or air magic could create a cyclone. I'd presume you need to train to work together effectively; two randoms can't just work together; that's too easy.

going from this i think my guy would fit best with plant or earth magic. would plant magic help plants grow faster too? because that would make sense becasue my character is farmer and stuff and @Spark of Hope would the magic be genetic or random?
