Magic RP

Noname · **on:** February 16, 2010, 11:51:07 PM

This RP is going to let the character use magic, of any kind they like! As long as it isn't "godlike" or gives them power to raise the dead or break the fourth wall, it should be fine. I'm planning on having the players gather into a Circle of Mages and proceed to do whatever they wish to do from there. The only requirement is that the character be able to use some kind of magic. You can play as any species or race, or even make one up; your character need not be human, bipedal, or even sane!

I won't be able to start this one until I actually have the time to do it. Give it a week or two. :blink:

If you are interested, just post a character or characters into this thread, with some basic description of them and what kind of magic they use. I'll add several as time permits.

Anyone interested? I guess things have been a bit slow lately.

Hmm, I may join this one....cause as I read it some more and what have you, it does become more interesting, and what's more, I have character ideas buzzing around in my mind now XD

I mean, one could perhaps use holy magic, like a Paladin for example, hmm....I take it the character can only use a specific kind of magic? As in, one who uses fire can only use fire based attacks? Or can they also use other magic as well?

Also, does an alchemist count as using magic too? Just to clear that part up as well, as in, creates poisons for arrows/knives sort of thing? Or, would that also come underneath an enchanter? Then again, would those be more, secondary classes instead?

What kind of forms of magic are in this RP anyway? I guess I should've asked that one first, lol.

Any and all kinds of magic are allowed. Divine magic and alchemy, while not as widely used as the main ones (which I will spell out later), are still quite common. Think of them as the next most popular items on a menu at a restaurant after what the restaurant is best known for.

Ah okay, cool. So, then that would mean Voodoo magic is allowed?

Hmm, I might make up a character at some point, whether said character deals in voodoo magic of holy magic, not sure, nor if said character will be human or not either XD

Noname · **Reply #5 on:** February 22, 2010, 05:26:13 AM

Voodoo is allowed, non-humans are allowed, all of what you said is perfectly allowed, Drake! I'm glad to see you are interested.

MrDrake · **Reply #6 on:** February 22, 2010, 09:49:17 PM

Ah, it's no problem at all ^^

I'm leaning towards Necromancy, but problem with that is that it contains things like raising the dead, summoning spirits and all that, one that could be considered more godlike, which I don't want to have to do either.

Then again, with Necromany, I'm not entirely sure on what ese one would actually do with said magic you know. And with that being said, I'm not even sure if I will have Necromancy as a magic you know.

So yeah, gonna have to still try and decide on a form of magic, cause I, believe it or not, would like to be part of this one, but I need a good form of magic is all, as in, something not too powerful or godlike you know, something that is flawed in its own way.

Noname · **Reply #7 on:** February 22, 2010, 10:00:46 PM

Oh, I believe it!

Anyway, some ideas for necromancy would include magic that kills, raises a variety of undead, controls undead once risen, drains life from opponents, communicates with the dead (like a seance), and maybe some stuff involving plagues, darkness, and blowing stuff up!

Just some ideas.

MrDrake · **Reply #8 on:** February 22, 2010, 10:04:20 PM

Explosions? Awesome! *dances*

Ahem, yeah, but didn't you put in that something like raising the dead would be considered a bit powerful? But the other ones, yeah, I likey, perhaps even certain summoning is allowed? As in, summon certain undead creatures and what have you?

But regardless, I do like the ideas you had put in, gives me more of an idea for a character anyway believe it or not ^^

Noname · **Reply #9 on:** February 22, 2010, 10:09:15 PM

Bringing someone back at will totally unscathed would be too powerful, but I can see a mindless zombie or skeleton is okay. Bringing back the ghost of a dead guy is not too powerful either.

Feel free to summon undead in reasonable amounts. Don't send a million zombies out and we'll be fine.

MrDrake · **Reply #10 on:** February 22, 2010, 10:13:35 PM

Ah, well, in that case, cool. I don't plan on summoning someone unscratched and all.....they will be bought back as a mindless zombie! A skeleton shall work as well! But of course, it wont be anything powerful, I do like to keep things fair ^^

As for the ghost of a dead person, hadn't actually crossed my mind that, but would be rather interesting, not sure if I would go with that one myself, but I will consider it as well XD

So really, I think I shall use necromancy, since it was more or less all cleared up in here

Now, as for a character, I have a small idea in my mind for one, a good one as well believe it or not, a good person using necromancy....who would've guessed?

Noname · **Reply #11 on:** February 22, 2010, 10:16:42 PM

Cool! I've got some ideas for two or more chars of my own. I might "import" a Dracon as well as use a totally new character.

So far, I think I will have one male and one female. What about you, Drake? Do you have any details yet?

MrDrake · **Reply #12 on:** February 22, 2010, 10:25:37 PM

A human female at the very least, still slowly sorting it all out you know, but I have a rather vague idea ^^

Noname · **Reply #13 on:** February 22, 2010, 10:27:36 PM

Got it. Take your time. I'm looking at a human, a dracon, but cannot decide which one will be male and which will be female.

MrDrake · **Reply #14 on:** February 22, 2010, 11:37:30 PM

Hope you do decide between what gender to make them XD

As for me, a small change, the human is going to be a male and not a necromancer....but I am still having a necromancer, but of a different race actually.

My human male is most likely going to be a paladin

Noname · **Reply #15 on:** February 23, 2010, 12:03:13 AM

I see you are making at least two characters. Good! Is the female going to be the necromancer? And... if one is a paladin, he will probably not be on her side... maybe he is an individual who opposes the circle of mages?

Given that she is a necromancer, he probably would have good reason. XD

MrDrake · **Reply #16 on:** February 23, 2010, 12:09:15 AM

Yeah, the female's gonna be the necromancer. As for the paladin, he probabally would at first, until the necromancer explains her some more sort of thing, but could still be on edge with her sort of thing.

As for opposes the circle of mages, hmm, not sure actually....don't know if he would have a reason to or not actually.

Noname · **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2010, 12:15:34 AM

Well, I don't know what kind of a paladin would actually support a necromancer. Hmm. Maybe one of those fallen kinds of paladins. As it is, a paladin is as much a warrior as he is a mage, but there is still room for him, don't get me wrong.

MrDrake · **Reply #18 on:** February 23, 2010, 12:17:48 AM

Yeah, I know what you mean about a paladin being a fighter and a mage. But yeah, I was going by the paladin being a bit understanding at least and all that.

But yeah, we'll see I rekon at least XD

Noname · **Reply #19 on:** February 23, 2010, 12:19:09 AM

"Understanding" someone who works evil magics doesn't make a necromancer any less evil. I don't see what you mean.
