Sounds great! I like her already! ^^ Her backstory sounds heartbreaking fine, I'm not sure what you mean by 'capturing animals' though? I think it should work anyway :)
I have to go to supper soon but I'll be back afterwards!
and some of them used magical creatures as soldiers (against their will, btw).
I was thinking capturing as in whatever was done to magical creatures to make them fight
Ah right. Yep, that works. Which reminds me, I should probably give you a quick rundown of the magical creatures in this world. I'll try to keep it short, but this kind of thing always ends up longer than I planned lol, please don't kill me ^^; There are three kinds (you might recognize them under different names from our previous rp):
Hapbringers: The "good" ones. They resemble humans with giant wings and can control a type of energy called Positivity. They can heal, see auras, use telepathy, and a couple others things. Traditionally their entire species is considered to be part of one generation (E.g. they're all brothers and sisters even if they're wildly different ages). Hapbringer/human hybrids are relatively common but their magic is a recessive trait and doesn't get passed down very far.
Intunera: The "evil" ones. They're immortal spirits made of a type of magic called Negativity. (You might guess that Positivity and Negativity are like oil and water.) Intunera have many powers and no two individuals are quite the same, but basically they can teleport, use mind-control, come back from being killed, and control Negativity itself as a slow-burn close-quarters weapon. Their diets consist of: Human souls, and the substances that literally nothing on Earth can digest: radioactive toxins, certain metals, raw chemicals, etc. While they have an overwhelming tendency to love violence and mayhem, some Intunera have been known to be kind and compassionate friends. Intunera cannot have children even with their own kind, so hybrids are not a thing.
Deorns: Considered by humans to be evil, but they're really not. They're just highly aggressive and territorial, and have been known to eat humans when prey is scarce. These are the magical creatures humans forced to fight in their war, which resulted in the war being called the Deornian War. Also they're the most common of the three species. While it's very hard to describe Deorns since each individual is unique, they're essentially animal shape-shifters with the ability to control either ice or fire (but never both). Each Deorn has 1 to 3 animal forms as well as a human form. They are solitary creatures and live with their immediate family in large territories which they defend viciously from all intruders. They hate humans, humans hate them. However, after the war, Deorn/human hybrids became very common (this isn't a good thing: the DNA of the two species is not terribly compatible and birth defects in hybrids are pretty much a fact of life). Deorns are smarter than animals but their logic and habits remain steadfastly non-human in nature. To humans, they're dumb and foolishly stubborn. To Deorns, they're strong-willed and don't waste time on impractical things. Their magical ability is called Air-Snapping, and for fire Deorns it means fire. For ice Deorns, it can mean anything from ice and frost to full-blown weather control. shrug I could go on and on about Deorns, they're my fave species ATM, but I guess further details can be revealed through the course of the rp.
Oh oh! And a quick note about the magic itself: Humans can't learn magic, and must have a recent magical ancestor to be able to practice any. All the types of magic stem from five 'gods/goddesses' that rule over Earth. For the most part I'll try to keep them out of this story, but one of them, called the Dust, is very meddlesome and will probably pop in at least once to cause mischief. XD
(aw man freddie mercury)
(Huh?)
I recognize the Intuneras also
So shall we find a minor goal to get us strarted?
(Huh?)
(he's a freaking legend and I just rewatched Bohemian Rhapsody)
(Ah I getcha XD)
Sure! Let's see….maybe our characters' jobs/lifestyles will be helpful. Rick's a freelance mercenary/bounty hunter/basically a hired gun. How about Charlotte?
Oh I didn't even think of that.. I have no idea. Sorry I'm running dry right now ^^
Some sort of farmer or hostel owner?
Anything works as long as it doesn't involve tech or advanced civilization! Perhaps she's some kind of homesteader somewhere, like a dystopian version of the old Pioneers? It's up to you ^^
Yeah that definitely works! She can take in the occasional guest I think if that's all good.
Sounds great! So that could be how she meets Rick. Where do you want her to live then? For convenience's sake, I divided up the US into three Regions after the war: Western, Central, and Eastern. The Western Region has managed to preserve the most pre-war tech but there's a lot of fire damage and it's tough to farm there. The Central Regions best for farming, but it's very isolated and Deorns pretty much claimed most of it. The Eastern Region has the highest population, but there are bandits everywhere. Rick can travel anywhere so pick your poison XDD
Probably around the Central/Eastern border more towards the Central
Aright, and we won't worry about which state specifically since most of them don't exist anymore. Would you rather be more north or south? (yes I promise this matters X'D )
(I gtg for the evening, seeya ^^)
Let's go for North
Aright ^^ So then, maybe (just throwing out ideas here) our plot could be that Charlotte meets Rick and hires him for some reason? He accepts trades and favors as well as money, btw. Or we could have them do something else entirely, idk
(some more brainstorming) what if while on a job Rick stays at Charlotte's as a guest and she finds out what he does and since his target is a fallen government official and Charlotte wants revenge they team up..
Yours makes sense though cause then she'd owe him something and that'd keep the story going
Aright ^^ So then, maybe (just throwing out ideas here) our plot could be that Charlotte meets Rick and hires him for some reason? He accepts trades and favors as well as money, btw. Or we could have them do something else entirely, idk
But we'd need a reason for Charlotte to go with him
Hmm….I like your idea too. Maybe…something happens and Charlotte is forced to leave home? Maybe the place was attacked by bandits or a Deorn or something before or after Rick gets there, and he offers to let her travel with him until she finds somewhere else to live….? Rick's a nice guy so he'd definitely make the offer but I don't know if it's solid enough to carry a plot….
Ok I don't know if we can do anything with this fact but high chances are Charlotte wouldn't like Rich much because he kills/hurts for people which is essentially what her sister use to do
Ooof yeah that would definitely be a barrier they'd have to work through XD Sounds like they need something pretty concrete to keep them together, then. What if….he has or knows about something really important to her? Does she have any long-lost friends or family she still cares about?
This is a hard one lol
It issss that's what'll make it interesting though
What if….he has or knows about something really important to her? Does she have any long-lost friends or family she still cares about?
I like this! She has an enemy, Axel, who would transfer to a military ranked guy. As for friends/family she high-key raised two kids in her story, so we could parallel that somehow?
