| This game is based off of Stupidity in Magic. For external use only. Intended for recreational uses only. Comic does not allow reader to cast. World: Well, mostly, it’s just like ours. Except where it isn’t. The percentage of powerful psychics is higher. Pretty much every conspiracy theory you’ve heard of is true to a lesser or greater extent. But Elvis is dead. Deal with it. Location: Just outside the Town of Fipping, someplace in the Northeast of America. More specifically, The Institute for Magical Focus, and institution for the research and discussion of magical phenomenon and pagan activities. Places of Note: The Institute, Fipping University, Downtown, The Fallen (A gothbar/arcade in an old church) Hidden Oaks Mall, Benny’s, Mica Sand Beach, Mica Sand Lake, Our Lady of Impatience (Catholic Church), St. Vivian’s Mental Institution, the non Catholic church (Willow hasn’t figured out what denomination it is. May be Baptist, may be Protestant, they won’t let her in) Azure Pyramid (Occult store) There are three cemeterys in the town limits, and one larger one just outside. Premise: In recent years, Magic has moved more and more to the forefront of people’s minds. That’s probably why the Institute has done so well, well enough, in fact, that they are putting together more research teams. Teams to discover why magic that shouldn’t work, is suddenly working- why gods are being seen more and more often, and to clean up the messes that people with no clue make. Even the messes that they made years ago. Think X-men without flashy powers. But with less gunplay. Your enemies are the twins stupidity and carelessness, with their allies, ignorance, assumption, and Hollywood magic. No really, the last one is a pain in the arse. Try convincing a farmer to let you go on his land to clean up a magical sinkwell of unpleasantness when he thinks magic is pulling rabbits out of a hat. Other pagans will also try to stop you, swearing that magic doesn’t work that way, and trying to get you to agree with them, arguing every point along the way. So will Christian Fundies. Scientists. The Religious Right. Even the government to a certain extent. Your allies are few and far between. They’ll probably annoy you too. Don’t worry, most of the time you only deal with little stuff. Like each other. Things you may run into: Ghosts. Demons. Gods. Vampires. Humans that think they are any of the above. Roleplayers. Psychic phenomenon. Emotional residue. Police. Police with good senses of Humor. Animals that act a lot smarter than you’d expect. Aliens. Christians. Pagans, both flakey, and non-flakey. Things that are okay: Psychic powers, arcane knowledge, second sight, talking pets, highly improbable past lives, stuff that is only slightly outside the world we live in now. Things that are not okay: TK that can lift refrigerators, Carrie level pyrotechnics, (or any other psychic powers that powerful) fallen angels or living gods. Rules: This group is intended for the amusement of the participants. All participants, not just you. Please be courteous to other players- even if you're in the middle of a feud with their characters. This game is rated R, for adult language, violence, and mature situations. You cannot act for another player, without permission. No leet speak, unless it’s part of your character. Please try to use punctuation, and make an attempt at spelling. Typos are to be forgiven. There’s none of us that’s perfect. Please realize that everyone has lives outside theri computers (it's true, I've seen it!) so it make take a bit for your post to be responded too. Have fun! Silly is okay! Venue: We will be throwing this party in the Forum. You'll need to create an identity if you've never posted at Ezboard before, but it's not hard. What I want to know about your character: Mail this any any other intresting tidbits to me Name: Age: Gender: Height: Hair color: Eye color: Skin Color: General appearance: Brief history: Any Special abilities/skills: Memorable Quote: Example: Name: Octavia Ursula Thornbury Age: 26 Gender: Female Height:5’9” Hair color: Black Eye color: brown Skin Color: brown General appearance: muscular, slightly rounded attractive black woman. Her hair is generally arranged in neat braids or actual cornrows. Wears striped stockings, lace up ankle boots, long skirts, and simple shirts most of the time. Near sighted, which she corrects with oval-shaped glasses. Brief history: Raised in Southern Pennsylvania, where she attended a local college. Interested in the occult since she was a child, she got into Wicca and Paganism lightly in high school, then more firmly in college. She’s written a few books on the subject, which is why she was giving lectures at Pagan Cons, which is how she came to the Institute. Any Special abilities/skills: Well read in most varieties of magic and paranormal activity, She casts a pretty darn good spell, knows when to stop and look things up and is an excellent hand to hand combatant. She doesn’t know any weapon-styles, or have any formal martial arts training. Can think on her feet, and while she has a nasty temper, is able to deal with just about anything. Of course, ‘dealing’ for her may include beating the tar out of someone. Memorable Quote: “You should be arrested for practicing under the influence of idiots.” |
