| Subject: [Casual Event] Rite of Legacy (OOC) 12th January 2017, 4:12 pm | |
| Within the Hydra Constellation there is a city full of people near the brightest star, Alphard. It is a place full of magic and ritual. The strongest of mages are those who are called Senshi. The Hydra Constellation is guarded by their own collection of senshi, one per each star in the constellation. Because magic is so commonplace to the Alphardians, and such magics can make it difficult to determine whether a person is truly a senshi or not, the royals decided to prepare a ritual to test and locate the true Senshi long ago. This ritual has served them well for many generations. The Rite begins as the reigning senshi grow older and pass over the mantle to the new wave of senshi. It is of the highest honor to be chosen to go through the Rite, and very few are ever selected by the royal counsel. It has been several years since the last Rite, and the current senshi were said to be some of the strongest in a very long time. But time takes it toll on everyone. And so now, the Rite of Legacy has begun again. oOo Important Information

There will be a prize at the end of this event for anyone still active!
oOo - The Summoned Mages:
- Umah:
UmahUmah's journey with magic has always been a difficult one. Not particularly powerful or gifted, there was one time when she didn't believe she had any magic at all. However, she has thrown herself into her studies and practices for years now, and the effects have paid off. She still struggles at times, but her years of furthering her understanding of magic has made her much strong. Now, not only is she a learned and accomplished mage, but she's also been summoned for the Rite of Legacy - a Rite only extended to the most special of mages!
- Zeriel claimed by Eternal Knight:
ZerielA mysterious man who stays on the outskirts of Alphard's cities, keeping mostly to himself. He has known his magic all his life, often masquerading as a psychic, giving readings and predictions to those who ask, and has done small favors to make money throughout the years. However, mostly he is a wanderer. What he's seeking, no one really knows, but he has made a name for himself amongst several villages. He expected his summon to the Rite of Legacy, so he is not surprised when it finally does happen.
- Latheli claimed by Brit-chan:
LatheliFor the longest time, no one believed Latheli when she told them that she had magic. As a maid working in the royal palace, few people even gave her notice, let alone spent the time listening about her powers. But Latheli was never deterred. She knew that, one day, people would realize that she was more than just a maid to be ignored. And now that day has come: she is among the special people summoned by the Rite of Legacy!
- Kasya claimed by Cosmos-Hime:
KasyaAs a part of a family of martial artists, Kasya prefers to answer threats with fists and kicks rather than the magic that has laid dormant within her, unused. She has known it lies there, waiting for her, but Kasya doesn't really care about all that magic nonsense. That's why it comes as a surprise, and kind of an annoyance, when the summon to the Rite of Legacy reaches her.
- Samae claimed by Sailor Jupiter:
SamaeMagic has always been a strong presence in Samae's life, but also a hindrance. When she was young and curious, she experimented with her own powers, pushing them and herself to the limit. The experiment went incredibly badly, and resulted in her own blindness. Instead of being afraid to use her magic again, her magic was instead a companion and a great help. With it, she can "see" things around her, even as her eyes remain useless. She is surprised when the summons comes for her, as she did not believe that the Rite of Legacy would have any interest in her.
- Rusu claimed by Sailor Mercury:
RusuThe youngest of the summoned mages, Rusu has only just recently learned of her powers. Never having tested for magic, it is a new thing to her, something that she still has to get a feel for. She's not terribly practiced and her control is lacking, but the strength of her powers is far above what normal newly initiated mages can handle. Rusu guesses that it is because of this that she got the summons to the Rite of Legacy. She doesn't feel that she deserves such an honor - and honestly, everything about it kind of frightens her! - but she can't ignore the calling.
- Atien:
AtienAtien has used her powers to help her in the field of healing for a long time now. Spending most of her time in the aid of others, she has no real interest in causing harm or fighting in any manner. She knows her magic has the capability - the one time she tested them against a straw dummy astonished her - but she has never used them to attack ever since then. She is surprised to get a summons - why would they want someone who doesn't fight? But she knows that the Rite of Legacy is far too important to ignore. Their home is on constant guard because of this ritual, and she decides that she will do what she can to help that cause.
- Kiran:
KiranKiran has been excited about going through the Rite of Legacy her entire life. With strong magical powers and the strive to use them, Kiran hasn't held back in her preparation for when, some day, the Rite will begin again. And then it happens - she gets a summons! Kiran is excited and knows she will be the best. She's going to work hard and do everything correctly so that she can obtain the coveted spot of Alpha Hydrae. She even loves the color orange, the signature color of the Alpha!
- Tarilye:
TarilyeAs a noble in the royal Alphardian court, Tarilye doesn't do much other than relax her days away in pretty dresses. And she's quite happy with that way of life. She loves exploring the tunnels underneath the castle, and one day, she ran into an old altar that looked as though it hadn't been seen in many years. Unafraid, she felt a kinship with it, and it was through this connection that she realized her magical potential. Since then she has attempted to study and to strengthen her magic - though she tends to slack off at times, especially when a new party is coming up. She's pretty surprised to get a summons to the Rite of Legacy - she hadn't realized nobles were even considered!
- Sieliah claimed by CrystalBunny:
SieliahThe eldest of the summoned mages, Sieliah has lived a quiet life on the outskirts of the city. From there, she's done her own training in small bursts here and there while studying all kinds of other subjects, from art to chemistry to weapon-making. She prefers the quiet, and utilizes her magic in ways to make studying easier and more comfortable. It has never dawned on her to use them in any other way except for convenience. Getting the summons still feels surreal to her. She almost decided to reject it and simply stay behind in her cottage, however curiosity got her to go. Few people ever get the chance to experience the Rite of Legacy, and it is one of the greatest honors one can receive on Alphard - who is she to give up such a chance of discovery?
- Ethon claimed by Sailor Saturn:
EthonBrother to Isra. Part of the Royal Guard, Ethon stays out of trouble and works hard to raise his ranking within the guard. Rather easy-going and humble, he supports his sister, even though he has to work extra hard to keep her out of trouble - since all it seems Isra wants to do is get into trouble! Focusing so much on his guarding duties and elder brotherly duties has left him with little time to practice magic. He feels that he can do better with a shield and a sword at hand, if it comes to protecting someone. The summons was a surprise, but a good one. In all of the guarding ranks, to go through the Rite of Legacy is of the highest honor. Ethon wants to do his best, though he hopes he doesn't get too distracted looking after his sister who also received a summons.
- Bezal:
BezalComing from a long line of powerful mages has left Bezal with high standards and a lot to live up to. She has studied long and hard - but still her magic seems to be lacking. She should be the highest in her class by now, but she is dwindling down by the bottom. The poor results of all her training has left her rather bitter towards magic, but still she tries to practice more and more. The summons to the Rite of Legacy has brought back a bit of fire in her - this is her chance to be even greater than her family for none of them had ever gone through the Rite before!
- Laserie:
LaserieQuiet and kind, Laserie is a teacher of magic to young children. She likes to encourage them and watch as they grow stronger throughout the years. Her own powers are well-practiced and get used every day as she instructs the children through their lessons. Though she is quite happy with her current situation and the way life is going, she always wondered about reaching a new level with her magic. For a while now, she has felt as though she's plateaued. The summons is a welcome surprise - she is sad to think that she might have to give up her teaching if the Rite goes well, but she is excited instead of simply complacent for the first time in a long time, and so she is ready for it to begin.
- Isra claimed by Dark Sportsnutd:
IsraSister to Ethon. Isra is a bit of a trouble maker, and she doesn't hold back from using her magic to aid her. She is always getting into magic fights on the streets, a practice that has been outlawed for the safety of the innocent bystanders. Her brother is constantly coming to her rescue, with his ranking on the Royal Guard often being of use to get her off the hook. But Isra can't help it. She loves magic and she has to use it, has to get better and stronger. What's the point of having magic if it doesn't get used? So it is with great joy that she accepts the summons - this is just what she needs. She'll be the best too. Just wait and see!

| I've put in a small addition to the Note on magic: - Quote :
- Tiny things that don't affect the plot, or affect another person, can be the exception to these rules (meaning, you can have your character do it right away, and it won't take up your magical reserves). These are things like floating a tiny object as a nervous habit, or fixing your hair into a ponytail with your magic, or tying your shoes with magic xD If I deem the action too large, I might have to ask you to change it! We want to keep things in check, after all!
When in doubt, please ask me and we can figure it out together! This is the first run of this kind of system, so we will be working out the kinks together xD!

| I know Kasya doesn't really do the whole magic thing-but do we at least know what kind of magic lies dormant within her? Or can I make that up? Or do you have something planned for her? |

| She might not do it, but she has the capability just like the others! xD I have no plans, she's in your hands now mwahaha xD so you can choose how you want it to manifest. (or, if you want, you could even choose for her not to use magic at all!) I wanted to be vague to not limit people with their magic, but if anyone wants, we can work together to come up with a list of specific spells for your character! No problem! |

| Point of clarification: Just realized I assumed the portal was large enough for more than one person to step through, but another player implied it was blocked by one person standing in front of it. Would I be able to pass through as I said in my post or? |

| Hmm, well! The doorway/portal would be wide enough to accommodate several people (perhaps I didn't make that too well described D: ) Perhaps what one person thinks of as blocked, another person just sees as "Imma just go around you"? xD Either way, yes, your character should be able to fit through! <3 |
