Earth is a pretty predictable place. The same routine happens every day, with very little changing. If something were to alter this routine, or just barely scrape the surface of what is accepted, what would occur? The possibilities are endless, and only time will tell.


PLOT

Taking place during present day, Wayward is the tale of powerful magic users – in training. Sent from their home planet to Earth under a host family, a select group of young teens must perfect their magic in order to move on to the next stage of their careers. Training on Earth is the most difficult step, and many fail in their training. Many evil forces crave their pure, rampant power, and will do anything to get their hands on it. However, if their motivation lands them on the right path, they might just make it. Well, with a few mishaps and bumps on the way.

Each user will roleplay a magic holder in training. They can specialize in almost anything; the only thing holding them back is their lack of skill.

RULES​
1. All basic BMGF rules still apply.

2. No god-modding.

3. Try to avoid tennising.

4. No bunnying!

5. Keep it PG-13.

Just the basics! @Yun; and I are the GMs of this roleplay, so our word is law! If you have any questions, please ask us. Also, please understand that we have the ability to deny any applications we don't approve of, or any applications that we find just plain distasteful. So be aware! For more information on the above rules, please refer to here.​

POWERS

Your original characters will be magic users in training. This is obviously an extremely vague set of boundaries, so we want you to be imaginative! Magic users have the ability to use any magic they want. However, they must focus on one kind of magic. For example, one may choose to focus on different kinds of fire, or even telekinesis and other types of psychic abilities. What Yun and I agree on with be decided on a come and go basis. Saying, we will decide if your character's specialization is allowed within the roleplay's rules.

Also, each character is in possession of a wand. You are free to create and describe a wand for your OC.

SIGN UPS​
Name: (First and Last, please)
Gender:
Age: (Have this range from 13 to 19! Your OCs are still beginners)
Specialization: (Read the above section of 'Powers' for more information)
Appearance: (Try to include basics like skin, hair, body type, clothing... Your OC will be human for plot purposes.)

Could I ask for a reserve, please?
 
Name
Michael Kale

Gender
Male

Age
18

Specialization
Spatial Manipulation

Appearance
Michael is a male of 5'9" in height, with a thin build that he keeps toned. He has olive skin, hazel eyes and black hair that he keeps cut relatively short.

Personality
His disposition can be best described as a easygoing. He's open to introduction, never really shying away from interaction when it comes to people. While quick to tell a joke, he can offer an open ear to those who need it. This belies a studiousness that he rarely shows until he is by himself.

Other: Always remember to feed your pet Michael at least two cups of pudding a day. Never leave your Michael alone with strangers.

I'll sign up.

Name: Eira Nightgale
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Specialization: Ice
Appearance: She is around 5'5, has curly black hair, porcelain skin, and baby blue eyes. She has a rather average female body type, but she does have some natural curves to her. So to speak, she's at a healthy weight and embraces what she has. She also has pale lips and keeps her eye make-up to give her a more cute, rather than sexy appearance. She also dresses modestly as to not expose things that wouldn't be tasteful.
Personality: Eira isn't one that's quick to anger or to fight. If she believes that it can be resolved peacefully, then she'll use any means to avoid conflict. She also is rather honest and humble, and doesn't like putting herself out there so much as she is afraid she'll come off as arrogant. She does like making friends and learning new things.
Other: She has an odd love for ice cream and sweets.
 
Name: Taiga Desiderata
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Specialization: Aura manipulation
Appearance: Taiga is rather short for her age, with long tawny-colored hair and piercing amber eyes. Her complexion could be described as fair, and her body type as lithe. While almost childlike in appearance, don't let that fool you. She is plenty capable of breaking someone's legs, or knocking someone out. Taiga's most common facial expression is a frown, or a snarl. She often wears dark gray jeans, a graphic tee, and a charcoal-colored jacket.
Personality: Taiga doesn't seem as compassionate as those around, and can get violent when she needs to be - for this reason, most teachers and students alike see her as a delinquent. She acts aloof and hostile to those who have messed with her in the past, and isn't about to let them forget it. However, don't get her wrong - she's very loyal to her friends. Despite her aggressive nature, Taiga wouldn't break someone's legs unless they really deserved it.
Other: A black-belt in various martial arts. Her wand resembles a wooden katana.

First-time in this section of the forum, but I've been interested in trying RPs for a long time so I'm gonna give this a shot:

Name: Noelle Kreiss
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Specialization: Healing (able to easily heal the wounds of self and others to an extent; able to cure poison)
Appearance: She is a somewhat pale girl who stands at 5’4 with light blonde, straight hair that is styled into a long, high ponytail, and she has olive green eyes that almost always look a bit tired. Her physical build leans slightly toward being petite, so she tries to maintain perfect posture in order to appear more authoritative. She prioritizes comfort over style when it comes to clothes in a way that matches her deceptively sleepy demeanor.
Personality: Despite her appearance, Noelle is a very determined girl who strives to be the best at anything she attempts; it is because of this that she is not wholly satisfied with her talent in healing power, as she sees it as far too passive for someone like her. She can also be a bit stubborn and too convinced of her own moral beliefs, and this combined with her somewhat aloof nature means that she has some difficulties in growing lasting relationships. However, she is not needlessly aggressive, and she respects those who have impressed her in some way.
Other: Noelle has experience with small firearms, enough to protect herself in light of having a non-combative magic specialization.
 
Name: Vara Lee
Gender: Female
Age: 14

Specialization: Wild Telikenesis
She can control small objects, but only one at a time. Sometimes it backfires and she might launch it at someone, or break it.

Appearance: She has light freckled skin with a variety of cuts marking her arm. She has dark green eyes and dark brown hair cut just below her ears. She wears mostly shorts and Tshirts. She often looks weared out. She is 5'6 and slouches when she walks.
She has a prosthetic hand because she cut her hand off in a training accident.

Personality: She is tense and often uneasy. She is a poor decision maker, but knowledgeable of factual things. She gets upset easily because her magic might hurt soneone. She likes people, but is afraid to get too close to them, in the possibility she could hurt them. Though, this was her past self, once she discovered Earth, she has been more joyful.

Other: Her wand is her prosthetic hand. It's unsteadiness is what causes the magic to act wild. When she is controlling her magic, she has good control because her wand is connected to her body.

(I had to go into detail about her specialization because it is complicated)

@Ib All Alone; @FinalArcadia; Accepted.

@progressforth; Vera's power is something that we cannot allow in good confidence. The main point of this RP is that their powers are largely untapped: "They can specialize in almost anything; the only thing holding them back is their lack of skill", as quoted from the OP. The drawback of being 'too strong to control' isn't acceptable in this case.

Telekinesis is fine; it'll have to be weak and unskilled, though.

Can I stay in if I make it only small objects, and one at a time?

Yes. You can venture to make it slightly more powerful, with her able to pick up a few small objects at once.
 
Name: Natalie Feu
Gender: Female
Age: 17

Specialization: Fire Control

Appearance: Natalie has long black hair that goes down and around her shoulders, reaching her midback. She has soft dark skin with a slightly curvy body type and an an athletic built. She has dark brown eyes that have a gleam of mischief and prefers to wear more casual clothes.

Personality: She’s rebellious and hard headed, preferring to do things when she wants to and how she wants to without caring about anyone’s opinion. She’s also very agile and energetic, though this also makes her really competitive. She doesn’t have much smarts so she tends to solve a lot of her problems through violence, something that she’s always had trouble with. She’s not exactly unfriendly but she doesn’t really care on whether people like her or not since she just wants to do her own thing.

Other: She kind of got kicked out for comitting arson...a lot of arson.

No problem. Accepted.
 
@Flaze; You're accepted, btw.

And finally getting my own SUs up. Let's bring in some guys! My first SU is a tad different due to him being part of the host family, so don't base your own SUs off him! My second one is fine, though.

Name: Lucas Cho
Gender: Male
Age: 22

Specialization: None

Appearance: Lucas is 5' 8" in height. He has light skin, dark thin eyes, and black, messy hair that is partly hidden under a beanie. He wears black, large rimmed glasses, and occasionally wears flannels, graphic t-shirts, and skinny jeans. He himself has a thin body, and isn't that well built.

Personality: An introvert, Lucas doesn't really like spending his time interacting with others, and greatly enjoys peace and quiet on his own. He is very mature, and attempts to find the good in every situation.

Other: He is an art major in college. He lives with his parents and commutes.

Name: Tristan Rawley
Gender: Male
Age: 16

Specialization: Transportation and Illusions

Appearance: Standing at 5' 9" with dark skin and striking facial features, Tristan is relatively attractive. His dark, brown hair is shaved close to his head, and his eyes are dark in color. He wears loose clothing, but does have a tendency to stay with uprising fashion trends. He has a decently fit body.

Personality: Tristan is laid back. A bit too laid back. He tends to unintentionally cause problems with his antics, but he has a huge heart of gold. He is always there for friends, and always tries to lighten the mood.

Other: Tristan loves playing piano.
 
So I may have almost deleted this thread by accident due to my mouse acting up. Don't hate me kthx

Name: Terrance Dumond
Gender: Male
Age: 16

Specialization: Rudimentary technomancy. He can control basic electrical devices using his magic, but anything more complicated (i.e computers) he has to actually work with manually. Back home, he enjoyed working on more complicated electrical circuits by hand, something that will continue on earth (once he gets used to the difference in technology levels between the two planets)

Appearance: Terrance has chocolate brown skin and jet black hair, which he keeps carefully styled in a short afro. He has bright blue eyes, a family trait that he shares with both his mother and father. Terrance dresses casually, preferring faded jeans and hooded sweatshirts. His wand is simple, thin brown wood tipped with a small silver electromagnet.

Personality: Terrance is quiet and soft-spoken, but he isn't exactly shy. He simply chooses to express himself carefully. This is due to the fact that he is incredibly intelligent and a voracious reader. His parents encouraged this from a young age and he enjoys a good book as well as tinkering with machinery and electronics. Along with his intelligence he is also clever and excellent at thinking on his feet. However he never acts rashly, always preferring to carefully consider action before acting. Finally, he is kind and generous and quite loyal to his few friends and family. He is not a social butterfly and prefers having a small group of friends over having a lot of people around.

Other: He is a disaster in the kitchen. His other quirks will become apparent as we go.
 
Name: Hans Clérisseau

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Specialization: Conjuring electricity, redirecting electric current

Appearance: Hans has a ridiculously chiseled face with wide jawbones and pronounced features. However, he has a massive burn wound that mars the flesh about his right eye. The right part of his nose is also disjointed and collapsed. Hans has a fairly deep tan. His hair is blonde and falls to around his neck, with a tiny ponytail near the top and bangs à la He-Man. He has a wispy, singed blonde mustache and a soul patch. His eyes are blue and often bloodshot from lack of sleep.

Personality: Hans is a man of great conviction and dedication. He practices his magic very frequently, though he is naturally unskilled and improves little. While he wishes to impress his host family by mastering electricity, Hans's true dream is to pursue a career in tomato farming. Ironically, Hans is afraid of the color red. Hans is overtly religious and is quick to attribute luck or fortune to the spiritual energy of the universe. He is a Sagittarius and sees this as his birthright over other, inferior humans. Hans is also prone to night terrors and, in times of distress, will hallucinate that he is in the company of his childhood dog Milton, who perished in a horrific automobile explosion.

Other: That about does it.
