Hey there! Super creative name, I know.

This RP is based on a random idea I just came up with. I'm really into fantasy and ancient civilizations and I thought it would be super cool to smash those together in some kind of magical brew and just see what happens.

Our characters are a part of the hidden society of magical adventurers, or better known among other magical folk, the Ventari. There's been rumour of a magic stirring in one of the civilizations of old, and many adventurers have tried to find the source to no prevail. Most Ventari have died trying to find this source, but our characters have formed a group, dedicated to finding it. Whether they're idiots, ambitious, or both, no one knows. But now, here we are, as our avid adventurers set off on a quest. First stop? Egypt!

RULES:

• Please use proper grammar. And if you're not good at it, either dig up one of your old english books and learn, get to the grammar side of tumblr or get out.
• Yes, this is a magic RP. Yes, you can have non-human characters. Try to avoid the vampires, werewolves and just those stereotypical 'fantasy' creatures unless you can find a way to put a neat twist into it without making them OP. Same rule with magic, just make sure it's not super crazy powerful or that they have a million powers.
• On that note, please do not make any OP characters. I cannot stress this enough, mary-sues, gary-stus and the gender neutral equivalents just piss me off sooooo much. If they're too OP, I'll let you know, and you can either fix it or scrap it. This includes characters with seemingly no flaws.
• Swearing is allowed, violence is fine as long as it's not insanely detailed and any smut can be taken elsewhere.
• I don't care about giving super detailed responses, just try not to do speech only replies, at least have the character show some emotion or fiddle with something as they speak, because no-one just stands there like a pole when they talk.
• Shipping is totally allowed! I love to see how characters interact with each other. Just make sure it's consensual and not creepy. Also, LGBTQ+ is obviously allowed, and I shouldn't need to clarify that but there's still people out there who aren't alright with it. But screw them! It's pride month, let's get the rainbows up in here!!
• Please ask to join before posting a character!
• And finally, just have fun and don't be mean to the other rpers! An rp is like writing a story as a team and if we're mean to each other the story won't go anywhere.

Name: Rinadian (often simply called "Rina").
Age: 19.
Gender: Male.
Sexuality: Bisexual.
Appearance: Tall, around 1,80m/6"1. Slender body, very light brown skin. Black short hair, green eyes, flat wide nose, small lips. Has several birthmarks on his whole body, specially the face. Not particularly athletic or strong — he's actually quite skinny. Almost always wears a yellow hoodie over his clothes, which are usually a t-shirt, gray or black sweatpants, and sneakers.

As a member of the Blue Feather he's undergone a permanent ritual transformation that replaces his finger nails for short claws and a great part of his body hair for small feathers. For the same reason his bones are mildly lighter and less dense (therefore, weaker) than those of a regular human.
Personality: We could say Rina is a good guy. He tries to do the right thing whenever he can and doesn't hesitate to try and stop whoever he considers to be a "bad guy". Rina is stubborn and often immature, doesn't like following orders from people he doesn't know. He rarely trusts strangers, even when they appear to be benevolent people. His intelligence and knowledge are always a good tool that he tries to reinforce with cleverness.
Weaknesses: Rina has relatively fragile bones so a good punch can be enough to break them. He also has a big ego and it often is a challenge for him to make the most convenient choice if that means swallowing his pride.
Strengths: He always has a plan. Knowing all the dangers magic implies he tries to always be prepared to face all kinds of magical threats, so he usually has at least an idea of what to do in different type of dangerous situations. This gives Rina certain strategic advantage.
He also has a decent mastery of magic.
Likes: Reading, learning, discovering new things, danger.
Dislikes: Stubborn people, mages who outpower him, ignorance.
Magic/Items: Rina has magic capabilities that allow him to cast simple spells like creating a dim light source, flinging sparks that could start a small fire or mildly augmenting his senses. However, the main type of magic he controls is telekinesis. It allows Rina to move objects and apply forces without using any physical medium. He can also use it in other ways, such as the creation of invisible barriers.
Being a member of the Blue Feather order and having gone through a transformation ritual he also acquired the capability of taking the form of an owl at will. In this state he takes on the form of a one meter (3"2) tall brown owl. While he can still talk as a regular human, in this state his magical capabilities are diminished.
Backstory: Rinadian grew in a small city with his father, mother and his six siblings. At an early age he decided he had no future in the day to day lives of the common people, that he was meant to be way more than an accountant, a business owner or a doctor, like the rest of his family members were. Once he was old enough, at fifteen years old, he became part of a group of sorcerers called The Blue Feather. He received an education on all things magical and became a magic user himself.

(I hope that this is alright. If not, let me know and I'll edit it).

Name: Eleanora Alzor(her birth name), Allisandra “Ghost” Flor
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual, but relationships are incredibly far from her mind.
Appearance: Hair choppily cut to just around her shoulders, either kept up in a short ponytail, or down. Her hair is black, with sprinklings of white throughout that resemble early greying, but not quite. A chunk in the front is completely white, standing out against the rest of her hair and color scheme. She’s on the darker side of the olive skin-tone spectrum, and covered in various scars, most notably the odd ones on her neck, varying from small and thin to large and jagged. 5’7, and decently muscled, though obviously a bit malnourished. Her eyes are a startling silver/grey, that always seem to be scanning her surroundings, and almost appear to see straight through people.
Clothing, just ‘cause: A lot of black, and dark colors, because they blend into the shadows she mainly travels in. Black trousers tucked into black knee high boots. Alternates between a long sleeved black shirt and a tank top, has various knives visibly strapped to herself, and hidden. Wears a black trenchcoat with silver embellishments on the hems, stolen from a man she killed, early on. It’s now become a sort of trademark.
Personality: Quiet, more of an observer than a speaker. Knows way too much about things she probably shouldn't. Her steps are completely silent, so it's fairly often that you'll only notice her in a room once she speaks. Keeps a lot of secrets, mysterious in general, and hates talking about her own past. Great with kids and animals, and isn't afraid to stand up for whatever she believes is right. Only problem is, her moral code is a roulette wheel, and it's practically impossible to guess what's next. Not afraid to lie and manipulate her way around things.
Weaknesses: Cant stand anything around her throat or wrists, even slightly too tight shirt collars. Small spaces, as well, are another issue for her. Being touched is a no-go, to the point of panic attacks and puking, if long enough.
Strengths: Knives, man. She’s wicked with ‘em. Self-taught medic, and at the same time, great at straight up murder. Need stealth? She’s your gal. Speaks quite the number of languages, too.
Likes: Knives, darkness, night, being alone, keeping the people she cares about safe, and fruit, particularly blackberries.
Dislikes: Being touched, small spaces, having to talk about her past, crowds.
Magic/Items: Control over Life force has shown itself in abilities that are essentially Necromancy, though due to her unwillingness to really tap into it, most of what she can do is see and strengthen the dead, as in ghosts. Has an insane amount of knives on her. Where do they go? Where does she hide them? Nobody’s quite sure.
Backstory: She has no clue who her parents are, or anything much about where she’s from. She was raised by a gang of thieves until she was fourteen, when she was kidnapped. It took her three years to escape, but she finally managed to, killing her captor and freeing her fellow victims. She still keeps in touch with them, making sure they’re safe and alright. She became a household name after, as a thief and occasional assassin, known only as Ghost, for ability to get in and out of places unseen.
Other:

Name: Calixto
Age: Unknown, appears in his late 20's
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Gay
Appearance: Short, light brown hair, lightly tanned skin, more towards an olive tone, hazel eyes that are usually narrowed in a distrustful glare, slight stubble on his chin, about 5'11 in height with a muscular build. Clothing will vary
Personality: Guarded, can be very blunt at times, very untrusting due to his past. He'll protect those who have gained a bit more trust than others, but will still come off as intimidating. He doesn't like showing his inner emotions, not wanting to be manipulated.
Weaknesses: Anything around his throat, large crowds, seeing others cry, abuse to others, occasionally has a bit of an anger issue
Strengths: Hand to hand combat, the ability to keep hidden in a crowd. In some regions, some don't know his kind even exist.
Likes: Hot tea, the sound of waves on the beach, being able to help/not being useless
Dislikes: Injustice, most humans, disruptions, manipulation
Magic/Items: (optional, depends on if they have any) Calixto is an original species I created known as the Mirro. They have the ability to change their appearance though their eye color and voice does not change as they take on a new form.
Backstory: (optional) Upon being discovered on Earth, the Mirro race was formerly enslaved with mind numbing collars. Almost a century ago was the official date to release them from slavery. His kind used to be the forgiving and friendly type, but now most are hostile and distant to those that aren't of their own.
Other: (optional) Calixto joined the group in hopes of finding something meaningful to do in his life and to give others a new chance and to help his kind. He wants to be better than those who kept him imprisoned.

Name: Aya (eye-yah) Reid
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexuality: She doesn’t know. She doesn’t care.
Appearance: Aya has medium brown skin with unnatural yellow eyes. Her wavy hair is naturally medium brown, but she creates her own dye and dyes it pastel pink.
Her hands end in claws, and she has extremely sharp canine teeth. She has dark brown ears that sprout from the sides to the top of her head, and she has a half-bushy light brown tail that sprouts a few centimetres about her tailbone
Personality: Aya is sassy. She can manipulate you in the best way possible and strike when she sees fit. She can also be very caring, but this only happens to a few people.
Weaknesses: Yarn, mice, easy prey
Strengths: Her strength, her speed, her keen eyes
Likes: Hunting, food, fresh meat
Dislikes: Being kept from her prey, un-preyable people, dogs.
Magic/Items: She is extremely strong and fast, but I wouldn’t call these magic per se, more abilities.
Backstory: Aya is a werecat. They’re sort of like werewolves but less dog and more cat. She wasn’t always like that; she just woke up one day as what she was. She soon figured out that a witch had cursed her. Not that she cared. She was now strong, fast, had good eyesight and hearing, and her main prey was humans. In her mind, she traded the bad for the good.
Other:

(she ok?)

Name: Altair
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pansexual
Appearance: Altair has dark skin and short, coily black hair. His eyes are light brown with a dark outline and specks of dark brown sprinkled in. He has an average body shape and height and doesn't have any features that would make people pay attention to him.
Personality: Altair is quite closed off, quiet and calculating. He doesn't speak much, but will almost always answer questions he knows the answer to and chip in any ideas he thinks of. He doesn't let himself get close to people and will stay on the sidelines, usually reading, to avoid speaking to people about himself.
Weaknesses: Physical contact, since that always makes him use his powers. He never uses his powers willingly because it can be extremely emotionally and/or physically taxing, which means that he can't use them very well or control them.
Strengths: He can read quickly and come up with a thorough plan on the spot. He knows at least something about almost everything magical or otherwise. He has a lot of common sense and is constantly thinking outside of the box, though this can make him look silly if he didn't need to think so thoroughly.
Likes: reading, being alone, nighttime, things that make him think
Dislikes: casual conversations, bad books, day time, deserts
Magic/Items: When he touches someone, he sees every bit of the person's past. This comes with empathetic abilities, where he feels every emotion, pain or sensation that person felt in those memories (including their senses). Once he's seen the memories of the person, he feels whatever they're feeling when he touches them.
Backstory: He doesn't remember much from his past, a part from being found in the desert by some adventurers when he was around 13. He couldn't remember anything from before he woke up in the desert apart from a story someone had told him about the constellation Aquila. The adventurers named him after the star Altair in the constellation. The adventurers took him along on their adventure, until one day someone came and took him to a foster home. He stayed there until he could leave at 18, then used the next year finding the adventurers again. They turned out to be from Ventari, and though they had apparently died on their adventure, he's been living at the headquarters ever since.
Other: He's extremely opposed to physical contact because of his powers. He's also trying to learn more about his backstory and his powers.
