this is a partially developed idea I had for a story/comic and I wanted to try to RP it to notice any gaping plot holes and shit, you know? So sorry if it's very bad, please bear with me
So there's this kingdom, Avendale, that used to be a hub for magic. Magic users of all kinds used to come there to learn, practice, meet up, sell goods, it was great. But ever since the King came to power he banned magic and all its users, which pretty much everyone hated. But he was king, and could murder people, so there wasn't much they could do. Now the king is getting old, and the crown is going to have to go to the only heir, the Princess. A group of Assassins/Magic users plan to kill her, and then make someone else king that they actually like. Except when they get there, the princess is already trying to escape, since she loves magic and she doesn't want to be queen. So they like team up I guess idk. (This part's still a little sketchy, so any ideas would be appreciated.) I thought it would be cute if the princess fell in love with the leader of the assassins too, so if y'all want we could do that
And UH, a bit on the magic system: most everyone has a magic reserve inside their soul, that hosts a different type of magic. To be considered a magic user, however, you have to have a much larger amount of magic than the average joe, which is how people get powers and stuff. Most people with a small magic reserve get very, very insignificant abilities such as better luck or healing small cuts quickly.
back to the fun stuff, though. People with larger magic reserves live out the first decade or so of their lives with little to nothing to show for their powers, but then at 11 or 12 they start showing signs, and they can start learning to draw upon their magic resverves, and learn house their powers. The longer you wait, the more violent these outbursts can be, and they can get dangerous. Anyways. Someone's magic can run out, but it's highly unlikely and highly dangerous. If you're a magic user, you usually get a mark (similar to a tattoo) that gets more intricate the more magic you use.
The common types of magic are:
-shifting- while only the most experienced shifters can change their forms entirely, most can change their looks/height/weight for a limited amount of time.
-elemental- just like It sounds. Most magic users stick to one element, but can learn more if so desired. (think about learning to write with your non-dominant hand, its never going to be quite as good as the original)
-Dryadic- This is pretty much exclusive to dryads, neirieds, nymphs, or their decendents. Most users have an affinity for plants, or rivers, or even like rocks or something. Their power is pretty limited unless they are in direct contact with their item thingy, which is why most dryadic users carry around rocks, twigs, leaves etc. with them. The only super cool thing about this power is that most users tend to look a bit like their item , which is always interesting.
I can't think of anymore right now becuase I have a splitting headache but if you have one you want to use it will probably be OK
sOOOo uh I guess we need a princess, and a few assassins?
