@blue_topaz
This is about a sort of homeless gang/unofficial family living on the streets of modern-day New York, except it's now full of subtle magic and fantasy. The group is currently hiding out in an abandoned warehouse that used to sell fireworks, and many of its members are runaways, trying to escape from their families and past, while others have been out on the street since they were much younger. A lot of them have powers, and some of the characters in this rp won't start out as members of the family/group, and maybe won't even be homeless.
This is also a flexible rp, we're all busy people and conscious that people have more important things to do in their day-to-day lives then roleplay 24/7
If anyone has to leave at any point throughout the rp that's completely fine, we all know how busy life can get!
————————————————–
Rules:
- Absolutely no IRL hate. You put someone down and you're out, no second chances.
- Treat others the way you want to be treated
- Swearing is allowed
- No Mary or Gary Sues, and no OP characters!
- No controlling the actions of someone else's character! Three strikes on this rule and you're out.
- No hurting someone else's character without the roleplayer's consent. If Rper A is cool with your character bashing their ocs brains out that's fine, but you can't do it without their consent.
- Original characters only! Please no fanfic characters or characters that belong in some anime universe (not that there's anything bad about anime, just keep things original)
- Please don't post a link for your character, just use the template we'll come up with once a topic has been decided on
- Romance is allowed, but keep it PG-13. Friskiness is for the bedroom, not this roleplay.
- What happens in the roleplay stays in the roleplay. No writing about other people's creative property somewhere else and keeping it
This is our posting order, we tried to rp without one and it got really chaotic:

Here's a list of everyone's characters:
@Topaz_needs_a_cup_of_tea_ (me):
Name: Morrigan Corvis
Age: 18
Biological sex and gender: female, female
Sexuality: incredibly confused and doesn't even know at this point
Appearance: long, wavy, thick, and tangled black hair falling halfway down her back and in a slight side part. She's six feet, and doesn't have a typically feminine figure, she's more athletic and muscled (but not buff) than curvy. Olive complexion, black eyes, high cheekbones. A tattoo of a crow feather with the tip dissolving into small birds curls up from the centre of her chest to the place where her shoulder and neck meet, and she has another huge tattoo on her back of two crows, one white and one black, the black one suspended in mid-air around the back of her shoulder and the white one falling from the sky diagonal to it. Also some flowery skull tattoos and runes on her arms
Typical attire: She's goth-punk, so she's usually decked out in silver ear piercings, a stud above her eyebrow, black (but usually no) lipstick, a leather jacket with shoulder pads and spikes, either an emo or heavy metal rock band t-shirt or some feminist slogans, all black obviously. Is a self-harmer, scars from abuse and cutting cover her arms and legs, which is part of the reason she started dressing like a goth-punk style thingy, to hide her bare skin.
Personality: One tough cookie, territorial, really intelligent (but not book smart), very gruff, and very, very sarcastic. Swears a lot. Dry sense of humour, secretly the mom friend, don't mess with her unless you want to die. Super protective and closed off, doesn't like large groups or socializing much. If you lay one finger on someone she loves she will hunt you down and murder you, no exaggeration. Inside she is a smol, sad, scared bean, but she hides that side. She's like an expert with any sort of moderately small gun, and also knives and daggers.
Powers: Can either sprout huge black crow wings from her back or turn into a crow, and can very faintly see, hear, or feel some ghosts or spirits (this power is very weak)
Fears: She’s scared of opening up to people, her heart races every time she sees a bottle of alcohol or a drunk person, she’s terrified of sexual contact in general, and most of all she’s scared of the mother she never knew and the father she knew too well. She’s wary of raccoons and cats (since she’s based off of the Celtic crow goddess and crows are hunted by those animals)
Backstory: Pfft, like she'd tell anyone. I'll write more into the rp, but for now I'll say that she had an insane (and literally not human) mother called Nyx who liked to torture her and her younger sister, but one night she disappeared without warning. Her father was also abusive (but not as bad from a violence and physical perspective, he did cut and burn her but never torture like Nyx did), and sexually abused her for years until her sister died of sickness and she ran away. She currently lives on the streets, but stole money from her (fairly rich) father before she made her escape.

@Qxeenscryche
Age: 20
Biological sex and gender: Male, and male
Sexuality: Pansexual
Appearance:
Height: 5'11
Eye Color: Dark Brown
Hair Color: Light Blonde
General Features: With light blonde hair separated down the side, some of the strands are close to clouding his vision, but he doesn’t seem to mind it much. If someone was to look closely though, they would see the soft undertones of ash brown, his original hair color, tucked under the dyed lighter blonde. Max dyes his hair regularly to maintain his hair color as well. Although his eye color is a typical dark brown, they seem to brighten under the lighting. Sharp features make up most of his face, paired with an expression that normally spoke of disinterest whilst being observant. He has a muscular build, trained up from his years of martial arts and helping around with manual labor to support his mother and himself. There are scars scattered across his body from a range of different experiences of working, in particular, a burn scar mark on his left arm that came from his younger self when he tried to cook for his mother. He usually tries to hide this with long sleeved shirts. Max also has ear piercings on both his earlobes and the tattoos in the pic, except the ones on the fingers and outer palm.

Typical Wear: Anything comfortable
Personality: At first sight, Maximus seems like the type to not care about anything, disinterested towards all around him and concerned with only his own matters, however, upon getting to know him more, often people find him to be softer than they expected. Distant at first, he grows warmer as people get to know him, his cautious side slowly letting down his guard to allow others in past his walls. Upon getting to know him, he is caring and loyal towards his friends, willing to rush to their defense if they need his help. On the battlefield, he is able to keep a calm and cool mind to address things logically and rationally, however, when he loses his cool and gets angry, he will go into a rage and become more impulsive, relying on the battle instincts he has gathered over the years.
Powers: Pyrokinesis
Fears: Losing his loved ones/family/friends
Backstory: You'll see
Place in the story: Inside the gang
(Is he okay?)
@KoffeOwl
Name: Erin Chaucer
Age: 18 yrs old
Biological sex and gender: Female, Female
Sexuality: Pansexual
Appearance: Erin has bobbed ash blonde hair -which is parted to the side-, and wide grey eyes. She stands at 5'4" ft tall and weighs around 129 Lbs. Her skin is fairly pale, with freckles dotting the bridge of her nose and her cheeks just below her eyes. The tips of her bangs are tinted blue, as her hair was once dyed baby blue.
Typical attire: Erin can usually be seen wearing dark red skinny jeans, a white t-shirt, and a purple-crimson hoodie tied around her waist. She also carries a black and red book-bag with her in which she keeps other outfits and things like deodorant and a toothbrush and tooth paste. As for her shoes, Erin has black combat boots.
Personality: Erin's personality has changed quite a bit since she was with her parents. While she used to be outgoing and constantly happy and positive, Erin is now a bit more cynical. She tends to trust strangers less, but still keeps a positive attitude most days.
Powers (if applicable): N/A
Fears (optional): Erin is afraid of older men (as she believes most of them have only bad intentions), spiders, and the thought of being hit by a car
Backstory (optional): Erin grew up with both of her parents, and no siblings. Her life was quite happy, up until she was around 16 years old. A couple of years into highschool Erin began dating a girl, and once her parents found out they made Erin break up with her. After this, most of Erin's privileges such as going to hang out with her friends were taken away, as her parents began to believe that Erin's friends were bad influences, since they were the ones that encouraged her to ask out the girl she had been made to break up with. A few years past, and Erin was still on a very tight leash. At the age of 18 Erin got into another relationship, and her parents threw her out of the house. Their reasoning was that they "couldn't have a gay daughter ruining what other people thought of them", and that if Erin had any sense she would see that it was a phase. Erin hasn't spoken to her parents for months.
Place in the story (eg. in the gang, outside if it, etc): Out of the gang (to begin with).
