Black Raven​

The Magical Guild That Aids Those In Their Hour of Need​

In the world of Eden, magic exists in everyday life. Those who practice Magic are known as Magi, and they often use magic to better the world. Magi help others through medicine, through invention, and much more. But what the Magi are most famous for, are the Guilds that scatter the world. Guilds take up requests from anyone in need, and Magi take up those requests to help their clients and earn a reward. However, the most famous guild is known as Black Raven, having the best reputation and the most prestige among it's name. They are considered the best guild in the world because of the strength of their Magi.

Mage Class:

Spoiler

Mage Class is fairly similar to a class in Final Fantasy or D&D. In this RP, Magic varies differently among individuals, and no to Magi have the same Magical abilities. For example, some Magi could excel at using Magic to heal an Allies Wounds, while another could cause mass destruction in the blink of an eye. So their often divided into classes to classify their abilities. Here are the possible classes for your characters.

Assault Class: Magi of the Assault Class excel at close range combat, and melee attacks. They can use magical weaponry, or magic to power up their own physical abilities. They often lack range, but they can still be a relentless force close range, and are very deadly if they are given the chance to steamroll their foes. They can endure physical and melee attacks fairly well, but their ability to endure magical attacks from Magi such as those from the Caster Class can be a little more damaging.

Caster Class: Magi of the Caster Class typically excel at long ranged magical abilities, and can use various types of magic to harass the foe from the distance. Their usually very agile and can endure a lot of magical attacks, but unfortunately, they have a hard time enduring Physical and Melee Attacks. Magi of the Caster Class are also capable of mild support abilities, but their no where near as strong the Support Class.

Shifter Class: Magi of the Shifter Class are typically can hold their own in all aspects, being able to use all forms of magic with the exception of Summoning, their versatility in battle is astounding, and they lack a lot of weak points like the other classes. However, at the cost of being Versatile, Shifter Class Magi don't really have any strong points either, their powers being out performed by the other classes perspectively.

Support Class: Magi of the Support Class don't actually excel at combat. Support Class Magi are better at healing their allies, along with providing their allies with buffs and dealing handicaps to their foes. Support Type Magi are also unique where they can provide useful abilities such as detecting objects and people, along with being able to analyze foes to detect a foe's weakness and weak points in their strategy. Unfortunately, despite their usefulness, Support Class Magi have a hard time in actual combat.

Summoner Class: Perhaps the most rare Magi Class, Summoner Magi can summon spirits to come to their aid, and help them in battle. However, they use weapons to fight alongside their summons, because without their summons, they have a hard time actually fighting on their own. Summoner Class are similar to the Caster Class where they often excel at speed, and being able to endure Magical attacks, but they are a little weak to Melee Attacks. Summoner Class Magi can acquire Guardian Spirits in a variety of ways, such as holding special ceremonies to summon spirits, forming contracts with living beings, or summoning the spirits of the dead. Summoner Magi also have different ways of summoning their Guardian Spirits. Some use physical mediums such as cards and keys, while others can conjure magic circles. It's also important to note that a Summoner Magi can only have one of their Guardian Spirits out at a time, and they can only collect 13 spirits total.

[Naoto]

Name: Will Vermillion
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Sexuality: Straight

Appearance: Will stands at 5,9 and weighs 130 lbs. He's father slim, with a slightly toned and muscled build. Will's skin is a pale white, and he has black hair which is slightly straight and makes it a little hard to see his sapphire blue eyes. He typically wears black t shirt, with a pair of blue jeans, and a pair of brown leather loafers. In colder weather, he typically wears a dark blue long sleeved shirt, under a a white cardigan, and dark blue jeans, and black fingerless glove. Tied to his belt, is a case that holds several cards which he uses in battle.

History: Will was orphaned at the age 8. His father was a powerful Mage, known as Sora Vermillion, and was often considered one of the strongest Magi to ever live. Will's father was Summoner Class Magi, and was often considered one of the strongest. Sora always taught Will the importance as treating your Summon Spirits as equals and friends, and Will welcomed the day where he could just as strong as his father. However... One Day, a man clad in black for reasons unknown, murdered Will's father before his very eyes. Will did everything he could to save him, but since he was so young, and the wounds were so serious, all of his efforts were for nothing. With his dying breaths, Sora summoned a card that would become Will's first Summon Spirit. He told his son that even though he was gone, that all of his love and protection would be offered in the form of another, and if he was in any danger, just simply crush the card in his hand and help would come to his aide. With tears in his eyes, Will watched as his father died. It's 9 years since the incident, and Will has traveled all over Eden, making a Sacred Oath to become stronger, and has managed to acquire other summon spirits. Will now hopes to join the Black Raven Guild, so he can further better his skills, and prevent the same fate he had suffered from happening to others.

Magi Class: Summoner

Abilities: Will crushes cards to summons spirits to come to his aid in battle. He currently has 5 cards in his possession, and he's formidable when fighting alongside them. He also uses a gun to fight along side with them, and he can kick rather hard to boot. However, he's very dependent on his Summon Spirits in combat, and not only can he not mount an offense without them, he also becomes more emotionally unstable, nearly being driven to tears without them.

Spells:
1. The Master Of Strings: Orpheus Will's most reliable summon spirit, and the one he received from his father. Orpheus is just as tall as Will. He has dark blue hair and wears a clothes of pure white. He holds a snow white lyre, and is a talented minstrel. However, his true ability in battle is to use his magical songs to attack with fire and lightning, along with providing buffs to Will's allies.

2. The Righteous Warrior: Hercules: A powerfully built man who towers above everyone at 7,1. He is powerfully built and wears a silver armor with no protection on his arms, and a pair of scarlet pants with bare feet. He has silver spiky hair, and wields a large silver colored broad sword about as tall as Will. He doesn't know any magic, but he makes up for this with his behemoth strength that could shatter boulders with a mere punch.

3. The Lady of the Lake: Nimue A beautiful maiden who looks slightly younger then Will. She stands at 5,1 and weighs 98 lbs. She has pale white skin, and shoulder length blue hair with royal blue colored eyes. She wears a simple sleeveless one piece blue dress that comes to her mid thigh, and nothing else. Nimue is a gentle spirit, who has the ability to conjure water. Her water can be used to drench her foes, and heal her allies.

4. The Mover of Earth: Io She stands slightly shorter then Will, and has pale skin a with short auburn colored hair and blue eyes. She wears a french maid outfit with a skirt that comes down to her mid thigh, and she wears a silver choker with a cow head attached to it. Io has a habit of calling Will "Master" Despite his protests, and treats him in high regard. Despite her tiny appearance, she's very physically strong, and excels at physical combat along with Earth Magic.

5. The Harbinger of Death: Thanatos

Thanatos is Will's strongest Summon Spirit, and he can easily take out a guild by himself. However, Will only uses Thanatos as a Dire Last Resort. Will has very little control over Thanatos, and Thanatos can be prone to going to far with his Violence. None the less, Will treats him with kindness despite the cold shoulder Thanatos gives him. Thanatos excels at Darkness Based magic, along with savage melee attacks including slashes from it's sword, and bites from it's powerful jaws.

 

[Midorikawa]

Um what exactly is the shifter class? You didn't explain what kind of magic and fighting style they use like you did with the others

 

[Naoto]

@Midorikawa;

Sorry, I should've been more specific.

Shifter Class Magi are pretty much capable of all types of magic, being able to fill support, caster, and assault type roles all at the same time however. For the cost of versatility, Shifter Class Magi don't excel at any of those things, and are easily out performed by the other classes perspectively. (There also incapable of using Summoning Magic like Summoner Class Magi.)

 

[Flaze]

Well, I'll reserve a spot please xD

 

[Naoto]

Thanks @Flaze; ,Your reserved.

 

[Midorikawa]

Hmm...Can I reserve a spot?

 

[Naoto]

@Midorikawa; Reserved, thanks a bunch!

 

[Detective Calvin]

Name: Terra White (nicknames: Molasses)
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Appearance: Terra generally wears a long, billowing, black cloak, so few know what she truly looks like. In actuality, Terra hides long, shiny, black hair, chestnut brown eyes, and a dancer's figure underneath her cloak. She typically wears a conservative black dress underneath her cloak. Her skin is pale, since she rarely lets sunlight touch her skin.

History: Terra spent her adolescent life in a monastery, having been sent there because of suitors at home. She began wearing loose-fitting clothing to obscure the very features which garnered the unwanted attention. At the monastery, she was left alone, since she looked unapproachable. Her talk of the Void turned people a way as well. Then the bullying started when she touched a tree and gained access to an ancient power sealed within. This power gave her access to magic which was unheard of, but because of the nature of the magic, she became extremely slow, unable to do anything past a slow walk. The only way for her to move fast was to block an attack with her magic and counterattack- at which point she could move like greased lightning. People made fun of her for being slow, and getting her magic powers from a tree. She withdrew because of this, and her self-esteem suffered drastically. She heard of the Black Raven Guild, and became interested upon learning of others like her. She decided to join, and make a Sacred Oath to use her powers for good and rebuild her self-esteem.
Magi Class: Support

Abilities: Terra's magic comes from her belief in a mystical realm known as the Void, where all reality began, and shall inevitably return. Her magic is mainly defensive, with a few counterattacks. She can also use her magic to make her Void real, and call upon its power.

Spells: (5 Spells your character uses, don't worry, you can learn more as the RP goes on. You can make one of their abilities stronger then the rest. If your a Summoner Class, just simply list your summons and their abilities.)
1. Umbra: Terra calls forth a cloud of Void energy to obscure the enemy's sight for a short time. The duration increases gradually with use.
2. Void's Breeze: Terra waves her hand, conjuring a green barrier to deflect projectiles aimed at her allies. She can counterattack even if the projectile wasn't aimed at her, so long as it is deflected by this move. The strength of the barrier increases gradually with use.
3. Shield Crest: Terra calls up a crimson circular crest in front of herself or an ally that blocks most attacks. She can hold it almost indefinitely, but it will drop if too many attacks hit it. Terra can counterattack if she blocks with this move. The strength of the shield increases gradually with use.
4. Delta Attack: Terra calls up a powerful shield to block an attack. If an attack is blocked, the energy from the attack is dispersed to her allies, increasing their offensive capabilities in proportion to the strength of the attack divided by the number of active allies. The move gains effectiveness with use.
5. Void's Blessing: Terra calls upon the power of the Void to heal herself and her allies. This healing move is fairly unreliable, but its reliability increases with use.

 

[Stardust_Trainer]

May I reserve a spot until later today? I just have to run out for a bit but ill get to work once I get back.

 

[Naoto]

@Ludwig Beilschmidt; Your approved.
@Cloud Strife718; Your reserved.

 

[DracoMan]

Can I reserve a spot? I should have a character by tomorrow.

Also, I don't suppose I can use monsters from other shows/media, could I? (Just thought I'd ask. I have to admit, I'm kinda tempted to make my character like someone out of Yu-Gi-Oh!)

 

[Naoto]

@DracoMan; Your reserved!

I would probably say no to flat out copying of canon characters.

But, I would say it's okay if you did something similar and put your own spin on it. For example, Will's Summon Spirit Thanatos is based off a mythological angel of death from Greek Mythology, but I took his appearance the monster of the same name from Persona 3. So basically, I'm taking something canon, and putting my own spin on it.

 

[Stardust_Trainer]

Name: Kumonai Shirousagi AKA Ghost AKA Shiro
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Sexuality: Straight

Appearance: Ghost stands at a tall 6'0, hulking of 170 lbs of purely trained muscles. His skin is a fair color and his eyes are colored a deep blue. Typically covering his eyes and face is his long, silver hair which flows with the wind in front of his face and behind his back. For clothes, his body is entirely wrapped in white bandages from his neck, down to hands and feet. Over that, he wears a long, sleeveless white hoodie that flows behind him along with white pants that are held comfortably with a white belt. His white boots ride up over the end of his pants and his signature sword is kept in its sheath on his waist in samurai-style fashion. The sheath is obviously white with the hilt also matching it as well.

History: The mysterious young mercenary given the name Ghost couldn't remember most of his early years as a child. Being raised by random people who found him alone and abandoned, he had no parents and no family to go by and no life of his own. He had grown a silent life, discovering his adoptive family were actually a crew of well-trained sword masters from an unnamed guild. As he grew older and capable, they began training him in ways of the sword and close combat in general, mind and body all while they could. At the age of 13, he was recognized to be exceptional in their training at such a young age and it was hypothesized that it was because of his empty life. Trying to help him find his origin, his guild family members had stumbled onto an enemy guild, meeting their end unexpectedly with all of them being murdered. After they were killed, their own entire guild was completely destroyed soon after. All of this was unknown to Ghost for a while, living on his own and never knowing the truth until someone told him. Determined to get revenge, he trained harder and hunted any leads he could for years but to no avail. After many years of gaining a name for himself in taking odd jobs by himself, he decided his best bet would be to join another guild and gain the power the magis had to defeat his enemies.

Magi Class: Assault Class

Abilities: Shiro can utilize small gems embedded in his katana to change his style of attack. Although he only has five from his adoptive family, he has discovered that the colored stones are more numerous in existence and has devoted himself to finding more as he lives his sacred oath for revenge. The gems do not deactivate without his command or his physical touch.

Spells: (5 Spells your character uses, don't worry, you can learn more as the RP goes on. You can make one of their abilities stronger then the rest. If your a Summoner Class, just simply list your summons and their abilities.)

1. Fire Kata: Blaze Sword: Shiro uses the red gem to give his blade the element of fire, flames scorching along the edge and granting him the ability absorb fire attacks as well.
2. Water Kata: Liquid Whip: Shiro encases his blade in a thin layer of water, giving it length to form into a tangible whip with slashing force and also enough strength to use to latch on to things. He commonly uses it for aerial movements or grappling enemies.
3. Wind Kata: Twin Dragons: Shiro morphs his blade into dual kodachi, making his swordplay quicker, lighter and more precise. While it does change his weapon, his blades have an invisible layer of wind, granting him an added length to cut and confuse the enemy. It also grants him swift movement that can accel him to move like a blur.
4. Earth Kata: Smashing Blade: Another weapon transformation, Shiro sacrifices speed to change his blade into a large claymore. The true purpose of this gem grants him the power to strike the earth and make mounts of earth to defend or even strike the enemy. Besides that, his strength against others is almost unmatchable, giving him enough power to break other swords or bones.
5. Ghost Kata, Serene Movement: Celestial Sword: Shiro's strongest and least used white gem. It places him in a great state of weakness after being used, almost immobilizing him and placing a great toll on his body. As he summons this power, he gains a white aura, complete with wings and a bright glow to his sword. In this form, Shiro can move faster then Wind Kata, strike as hard as Earth Kata and not make a sound.

@Cloud Strife718; Approved!

 

[Heroic Sociopath]

Name: Leon Nix
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Sexuality: Bi

Appearance: Leon's most distinctive feature is his straight, copper colored hair, which reaches just barely past chin length. He has tan skin, with freckles dotting his face, and bright green eyes. He's fairly tall, at six feet, with a slender frame, accentuated with lean muscle. While he is fairly strong, he's built for dexterity.

As far as clothes, Leon almost always wears his favorite leather jacket. He had it specially modified to have a yin-yang sign emblazoned on the back. He wears it over his bare chest, refusing to close his jacket or wear a shirt no matter what. Around his waist, he wears a pair of black jeans, suited for protecting one's legs if one falls off a motorcycle. He wears a pair of thick black boots on his feet, meant for all sorts of climates.

History: (Give me a small paragraph one what your character's life was like, up until wanting to join the Black Raven Guild)

Magi Class: Shifter

Abilities: Sergei uses magic to enhance his physical abilities, as well as channel it through his blade.

[DracoMan]

Name: James “Blackjack” O’Dell
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Sexuality: Straight, though rarely expressed.

Appearance: James is roughly 5’10, with short, jet-black hair; blue eyes that turn red when he uses his powers; fair skin; and a thin build. He typically wears a white shirt with three-quarter length blue sleeves, khaki cargo pants, and white sneakers. On his left arm, he wears a card holder for his spirit cards, which includes a surface for him to place his cards when he summons the monsters contained therein.

History: James comes from a wealthy family of casino owners, which led to him developing a love for card games (especially Blackjack, where he got his nickname from). As time went on, he began to love the games themselves more than any money that could be won from playing them, to the displeasure of his father. James’ powers as a mage were unlocked courtesy of his father’s younger brother, who had chosen not to go into the family business. This uncle was killed under mysterious circumstances (i.e. murdered), but had known it was coming as he had prepared his will in advance. James’ inheritance was a box that only James himself could unlock. Inside were five cards containing ancient spirit monsters, along with a last request that James find the other eight. James made a Sacred Oath on his uncle’s grave that he would do so. When he learned of the Black Raven Guild, he decided to join, figuring that doing so would help him in his quest.

Magi Class: Summoner

Abilities: James has the ability to summon monster spirits from the cards his uncle left him. Once a spirit is in play, he can use some of his own energy to power up the spirit, but doing so can exhaust him if he’s not careful. He can also turn the spirit into a weapon/power that equips itself to him, thus granting him its powers.

Spells:
1. Katana Warrior: A Samurai with both arms replaced with katana blades. His attacks are very fast and can cut through almost anything. He can transform into a katana for James to use in battle.
2. Tempest Eagle: A large eagle that can fly at high speeds and create powerful bursts of wind. It can transform into a pair of wings, allowing James to fly.
3. Flaming Wraith: A living mass of fire that can burn down almost anything in its path. It can imbue James with the power to control fire.
4. Spectral Cloak: A dark-purple cloak that can envelop and smother its targets. While roughly man-sized, it can grow larger if necessary, though this can diminish its effectiveness. When it envelops James, it turns him invisible.
5. Tsunami Shark: A Great White that can summon water from its surroundings and use it to attack. It can transform into a set of fins and gills that allow James to swim underwater for extended periods.

BTW, I know the rules say that a Summoner Mage can only have one spirit out at a time, but can James bend that rule if one of his spirits is in Equip Mode?

 

[Naoto]

@DracoMan; I suppose that could work. Approved.

 

[DracoMan]

So how far can it go? Can James summon one spirit to fight while another's equipped to him, or can he have two equipped, or what?

 

[SquishyFace]

Name: Catherine "Death by Sparkles" Luna (I'll explain the nickname later)
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Sexuality: She's not exactly sure, but everyone assumes she's asexual.

Appearance: Catherine is on the smaller side, having a small frame, standing only at 4'10", and weighing about 110 pounds. Her skin is fair, but not super white, and her eyes are a dark brown. Her hair is medium length and pale orange, with bangs that stay out of her face. Her clothes normally consist of cute and pastel designs, but she always carries a small bottle of supposedly "glitter" around her waist with each outfit. (in a nutshell, all of the clothes she wears can be found in the Laverre City boutique)

History: Catherine was born in a small town that preferred to stay with older styles of life, but they would use advanced technology when necessary. Her parents did have magic abilities, but they never really practiced it any further than basic spells. At the age of 7, her grandmother (who was a Caster in her day) died and the girl inherited only one of her possessions: a small bottle of what looked like "glitter". When school started up once again, she found herself being verbally bullied by the boys in her class because she was small and "too girly". One day, one of the bullies took the bottle that she inherited, and he threw it on the ground, breaking it. At the moment it broke, the contents suddenly lit up in a bright flash, temporarily blinding the boy and giving Catherine enough time to escape with what was left of the bottle. The next day, she had found it repaired and refilled on a desk in her house. After experimenting with its magical properties, she used a small portion of the contents on her bullies the next time they encountered, and even though no one got seriously hurt, it's still best that no one except Catherine knows exactly what happened to those boys. The end result was a visit to the principal's office, a new way of self defense, and the title "Death by Sparkles". As she grew older, she wanted to hone her abilities with magic and find her grandmother's reasoning for giving her the bottle, so she made a sacred oath to join the Black Raven in order to do both of these.

Magi Class: Caster

Abilities: Catherine uses this enchanted dust to cast her spells, and the strength and type of the spells depend on how she interacts with it and how much of it is used. If all of the dust is used up, then it would take several minutes for it to regenerate, and if the bottle it is contained in is broken, then it takes a full 24 hours for it to repair itself. (yes, I did base her powers off of the fairy type)

Spells: (I made these moves become stronger as they go up, by the way)
1. Blinding Flash: Catherine takes a certain amount of the dust and throws it on the ground, causing a very quick and very bright flash to stun her opponents.
2. Equalizer: Catherine throws some of the dust at her opponent and they become as injured as she is. In other words, the more damaged she is, the more powerful the attack becomes.
3. Breath of Wind: She takes a small amount of dust in her hand and blows it in the direction of the opponent, causing a very strong wind to blow up debris and hit the opponent.
4. Light Blast: Catherine compresses an amount of dust in her hand so that it forms something similar to a rock. When thrown at an opponent, it explodes on impact with a flash of light (it also causes Shrapnel-like damage) .
5. Fury of the Moon: This spell can only be performed at night and when the moon is visible. Catherine throws the dust into the air, and when it makes contact with moonlight, the dust forms into multiple white arrows and fires down on multiple opponents.
