Regular Wizards

Yeah, yeah... I know that roleplays have been kinda dry for a little while. But I was thinking about anime and, unfortunately, that meant I was getting ideas.

I'll cut to the chase because I, too, despise the eighty paragraphs of intro before I can get to the stupid soup recipe. Basically, the premise is that we're all just regular old people living in the same village/neighborhood/apartment building, living normal lives... but "normal lives" sometimes include being attacked by cosmic horrors and eldritch gods, which is fine because everyone is born with phenomenal wizard powers.

So epic sorcery battles for the fate of the universe? Doggonit, not now - I need to catch the bus by 5.


I put a pull for what time period this should take place in. For what I have in mind, I think Victorian, Pre-Modern, or Modern would work best; but, of course, this is an RP, which means we seek the voice of the people.


Here's a blank character sheet to get you started:

@Silver Phantom

Spoiler

Is this is available to join if so here he is

Name: Dave Wilson

age: 30

gender: male

PCP: can see into the 5th dimension and communicate with the creatures there (demons, Cthulhu, Kevin Bacon)

Occupation: works for said creatures as there I.T. support on why there dark rituals aren’t working

Notable Battles: trying to explain to Larry the Demon Lord why using “I can’t believe its not blood” for his spells is a bad idea

Education: knows a lot about dark rituals (don’t ask)

Weapons:  A really cool umbrella that is great for waking sense into clients who think they know better them me

Other: He has a pet Japanese flying dwarf squirrel (look it up, its adorable)

@Eluvianii

Spoiler

Name: Daniel Stevens. Just call him Danny. Likes to call himself "Weaver of the Eternal Thread" 

Sex/Gender/Gayness/Etc: Male. 

Age: 27

Phenomenal Cosmic Powers: He can control invisible threads with precision, move them, stab things with them, use them to swing around, all that. That should be enough but just to keep with the thread theme, he can cut into the "fabric" of reality, which allows him to teleport short distance (think making a hole into reality, getting in, getting out someplace else), but only within sight. By the same logic he can hit people at a distance. He can also use the thread ability to control actual thread-like materials which leads us to...

Current Occupation: Tailor. His shop is called "Fates and Fabric". His title comes from the fact that his clothes are extremely durable, which is a must in a society like this.

Notable Battles: He once had to make Halloween costumes for a class of 40 in a single weekend. Another time he had to deal with a group he thought to be said students, but turned out to be a small army of actual monsters (his costumes are very realistic so it's a reasonable mistake). Also the daily battle of getting to work on time after oversleeping while dodging other people's powers and various Eldritch distractions on the road (powers help).

Education: High School. Read a few books on tailoring at the time, and practiced for a couple years at an actual shop after graduation before opening a place of his own.

Weapons, Armor, Techniques, etc: Unlimited Thread Works Walking on thread legs Doc Ock style (he has plenty of better and faster ways to move so this serves literally no purpose beyond looking cool). Making his clothes harder by pushing the fabric together which probably doesn't make sense but does it need to? Stab. Portal stab. Stab after teleporting. Stab from two sides.

Other: Likes ramen and playing Cut the Rope. (I'm gonna grab all the mileage I can get out of the thread theme). 

@The Sibling

Spoiler

Name: Izett Mcallister

Sex : Male

Gender : He/him

Gayness : Lots

Age : 19

Phenomenal Cosmic Powers : The ability to shapeshift into any real animal and make animal sounds. Can also partially transform (As in just the feet or ears) and for this reason usually walks around with golden brown wolf ears.

Current Occupation: Apprentice candlemaker

Notable Battles: Stopped an arsonist from burning down the candle store (Terry's Candle Centre) by transforming into an owl and ripping out their hair.

Education: High school education and in their second year of their apprenticeship.

Weapons, Armor, Techniques, etc: Usually has carapace over chest and arms, sometimes shins. Occasionally has goat horns and very often changes eye color in an attempt to confuse/disorient people.

Gender: Male ("Straight as a very very very straight stick" - my friend)

Age: 32 years and 44 days old

Phenomenal Cosmic Powers: He can shapeshift stuff (Most of the time unintentionally) but half the time he doesn't control what they change into

Current Occupation: Part-time Metalsmith 

Notable Battles: He hasn't participated in any battles but he is the reason his parents got divorced if that counts

Education: He has a highschool education and worked most of his free time at "The Guild of Metalsmiths", so he was taught his craft there (An actual place look it up) and still helps there outside of his Metalsmithing career. 

Weapons, Armor, Technique, Etc. : He often times carries around his Old Western Pistol because he likes the weight of it. He spent four years in law enforcement as well. 

Other: Likes sharks, sticks, cheeseburgers, and pickles. He also is 6'2 with a wide shoulder frame and wears the same outfit every single day. (Red and black flannel with tan slim pants and black boots) He has dark brown curly hair and blue eyes. Also his younger brothers names are  Chadler, Chadster, Chadwinny, and Chadfall. 

@Justice_Magician

Spoiler

Name: Penn

Sex/Gender/Gayness/Etc: Male, straight

Age: 20 (????)

Phenomenal Cosmic Powers: He has really op healing powers. After a lot of studying and mastering his skill he figured out how to use his healing powers to stop aging. He's not immortal, he's just very difficult to get rid of. It is very unclear how old he really is. 

Current Occupation: Waiter at a trashy restaurant

Notable Battles: One stopped an eldritch being summoned by the void from destroying the fabric of time and space. Real casual stuff.

The RP part 2 now starts at page 13 or so.

 

 

[These are my quote brackets. deal with it.

Okay. I have two characters planned: Rirrom and the Dark patron. The dark one is more of a filler to Rirrom's backstory. I'll start with Rirrom:

Name: Rirrom Morfemoc

Age: -21 (self identify), 21 [actual]

Gender identity and orientation: Non-binary [so no gender ig]

PCP (powers): The powers to reverse anything. Life, death [okay maybe not], memories, magic, decay, etc... At the cost of his own health (for big things, like life and death), Sanity (for the medium things), or Emotions/memories (all of them all emotions.). 

Occupation: Priest of a self proclaimed religion.

Notable battles: The massacre of the Dale. He killed over 500 people there because they had dark thoughts before getting repressed.

Education: Lost all known education to his own powers

Tools etc: A cloak that protects him from magic 

Beliefs: The dark patron is a being of unfathomable power. Just by thinking about It, you serve the dark one. Thinking dark thoughts causes the prison of the dark patron to weaken. The prison of the dark patron is the fabric of reality itself. If it breaks, then everyone is dead. 

Of course, none of this is real. its all in the head.

Other: Actually a nice person when his religious side is unprovoked. Recently escaped the magical prison he was in. 

okay

so that was extensive. Anything wrong with my character @Channelknight Fadran? is he good? ]

[So the 72 transformations and a third eye that shoots lasers is a no?

Although I think you should post your character sheet. Normal is subjective after all :D

Also, someones gotta make the plot. So I decided to sacrifice myself in the name of progression. :D

Also, what needs to be normal-er? that might help tweek the character a bit. ty!

  • 72 transformations? Third eye? Heck yeah. Go for it.
  • I'm waiting for more people to vote on the time period.
  • I think you for your sacrifice, but plot will come in due time. :ph34r:
  • To clarify, I like the character. The only issue is that they'd be great in a standard fantasy setting, with edgy people and dragons and stuff - but this is basically just a Scott Pilgrim fanfic. Whatever era we pick will be exactly as it was historically, just with the addition of people having phenomenal cosmic power. How does this work in the worldbuilding? It doesn't, but who cares.
