Witch Trials // Closed

(Yeah, I probably can't post my character today because my family is coming but I will try)

That's fine! Merry christmas to anyone who celebrates

(Can one of my characters be human? Or are they all witches?)

Yes, character's can definitely be human too.

Name: James Benjamin
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Gay
Species: Human
Appearance: James has shaggy blonde hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. He's around 5' 8" with visible muscles. He has a thin, jagged scar running through his upper lip he got from falling out of his crib as a baby
Usual Outfit: He's most often seen in his high school varsity jacket and a pair of jeans. He wears t-shirts and ratty sneakers
Personality: James is essentially the stereotypical 60s boy. He's well-known by the town and, despite his awkwardness, was one of the popular kids back in school. He was often called shy by his family and peers as he never pursued a relationship, even though he was the target of many girls' affections. He has a rather low self-esteem and very little confidence. Though he would never voice these thoughts, he often considers himself an abomination for liking men. He was raised Catholic by his parents, but he doesn't particularly believe in God. He has a kind heart but isn't the best at showing that
Familiar (optional): His family has a pet Golden Retriever named Sandy (though, she's not a familiar)
Backstory: …there's not really anything.
Other: He wants to eventually leave town and become an actor

Name: Callista "Cally" Walker
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Species: Witch
Appearance: She has frizzy black hair (which is often worn up) and dark skin. Her eyes are bright brown with golden streaks that her mother calls "lightning." She's 5' 6" and has scars on various places on her body
Usual Outfit: Cally wears a worn-out leather jacket and bright red sneakers. She wears overalls with old t-shirts underneath
Personality: Cally has often been described as wild. She's fierce and outspoken, and generally a loud person. She learned to be quiet, though, as ~racism~ is present in her daily life. She's creative and knows how to get what she wants
Familiar (optional): She has a scrappy, brown cat called "Rat" that prefers the alleyways to Callista's own home. He hates being held/touched by anyone other than Cally (and her mother) and has been known to scratch/bite those who do try to get near him.
Backstory: When she was around five, her father was killed at a protest in another town. After this, she and her mother were often the targets of hate crimes. Most of the scars on her body are from being attacked with broken bottles, stomped on, and beaten up by high school bullies and men on the streets. The others are from magical accidents. This all happened before she met Rat, of course, as after they became close, anyone who dared to attack her was lucky to get out alive
Other (the kind of magic they study, facts, etc): She studies divination, prophecies, and the future.

They both look amazing!

I'm almost done mine, sorry for the delay

Don't worry about it topaz, take your time.

(Thanks! Sorry they took so long; I was watching some show my dad recommended on Netflix)

That's fine! They both look great.

Name: Fara Smithers
Age: 20
Gender: female
Sexuality: lesbian
Species: Witch
Appearance: Dark, almost ochre skin, fluffy hair in curls cut just below her ears, large eyes lined with thick lashes, deep sepia irises that blend in with her pupil and reflect the light a lot. Naturally dark lips, the lower lip larger and more plump, a nose that isn’t particularly thin or wide, high cheekbones. Tall, 5’10’’, of average weight and build, a bit curvy but more so around the chest than the hips, chubby thighs that she’s extremely self-conscious of. Calloused hands from years of work, whip scars criss-crossing her back, a mark around one of her ankles as if it had been bound for a long time, the same with both her wrists.
This can be used as reference to her appearance: https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/254523816427020319/
Usual Outfit: Loves wearing orange, dresses from the 50’s are her favourite, loves little head scarves and bandanas, things with tight waists and flaring, knee-length skirts that swish around her legs. A particular favourite of hers looks like this: https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/ATIGT7ISvVHfNZUJguRh2nUuYec4theZxCCUOPe7mrIagG7FLqFKbL4/
Personality: Well-mannered, poised, respects herself. Knows when to keep quiet, but won’t hesitate to speak out when wronged, confident, humble, motivating, a strong sense of self and duty. Finds it difficult to trust other but doesn’t let it show, a great liar and actress, very motherly and protective of those she loves.
Familiar: a little light brown mouse named Leo
Backstory: Her mama and papa were free black people in the town when they had her brother, some of the only coloured ones, and they were honest, good folk even to those who shouted racist obscenities and threats across the fence. They were some of the only coloured people not bound to a white person by servitude, they were free, hard-working people, at least for a while. They had four children, an older brother, Fara, then two little twins, but after some years, when Fara was 7, their white neighbours began to threaten and blackmail them. Fara’s father found himself greatly in debt, and the family began to lose money. After a white man beat Mr. Smithers and left his family tied up in his garage, the authorities were called, but not until Fara, her mother, and her siblings had been starved for many days. They got out, but her father’s spirit was broken by then, and none of them were ever the same. (Is this okay?)
Other: Is a bit of a freestyle witch, likes to break the rules and do things her own way, mostly through potent herbal and flower blends. Experienced in sun magic, but also depends on it for energy. Moonlight can actually harm her if she’s exposed to it for prolonged periods of time. Left-handed, single, takes care of her weak and elderly parents. In a way, she had to raise her younger siblings after the incident.

Name: Marla Catherine Abram-Bell
Age: 20
Gender: female
Sexuality: pansexual
Species: Human with weak prophet bloodlines (is this okay?)
Appearance: Light blonde hair, almost platinum, in loose curls cut a centimetre or two below her shoulders, which she sometimes keeps in loose, low pigtails (no, not the childish ones that stick out sideways, the kind that hang low). Creamy skin with a flushed undertone around her cheeks and shoulders, almond eyes a faded blue-grey tinted slightly turquoise, generally petite frame, 5’5’’, small hands and feet. Chapped lips from being bitten, a peach-pink colour, often coated in vanilla balm or some sort of gloss. Sometimes, when she attempts (and usually fails) to Look into the future, she'll paint a symbolic third eye onto her forehead in a shade of purple or blue, or paint similar images around her eyes.
Usual Outfit: Pale, pastel-coloured blouses, tops with billowing sleeves, sundresses with pastel floral patterns, dresses like these that are more reminiscent of the 50’s: https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/633811347536362750/ , https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/Ab6YzW2QbFX6ATLRvnDpZKIQfoXaZ_2KEqgJIWxodoU2L91xIE1NsWo/ , https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/504403227009901291/
Wears mostly a pale, dreamy periwinkle blue, occasionally ties diaphanous scarves or veils around her head/shoulders.
Personality: Gentle, persuasive, not as naive as she looks. Sensitive, willing to carry other’s burdens for them, easily emotionally manipulated due to how easily she trusts. A caring soul, always trying to do the best for everyone, lonely, a bit broken.
Backstory: I’ll reveal most of it as we rp, if that’s okay, but for now I’ll provide some brief details. Marla’s mother was single, her cheating husband disappeared one night and never came back. She had a stillborn baby brother, who they were going to name Teddy, and her mother was always a weak, frail person tormented by horrible visions in her dreams. In the end, she went insane and killed herself, leaving Marla alone.
Other: Marla has very weak prophetic vision that comes in short bursts, particularly when she comes into physical contact with someone very charged up my memories and emotion. (is this okay?) She keeps her mother's old, antique deck of Tarot cards in a drawer by her bedside, sometime attempting to read them. She is rarely successful.

(how are they?)

(They both look great!)

(@christmas topaz~ ❆☃❆☃❆ I doubt this will change anything but I'm pretty sure slavery ended in the 1860s)

(I didn't mean slavery, just being servants)

(also, since it's a reserved town and it doesn't have very much communication with larger towns and cities, it's possible that there might have been things like colored servants. so, that's valid for the role play.)

thanks Nessie

(Oh, sorry then)

No, it's totally alright! Thank you for checking

Is that everyone?

(I think we're still waiting on @Ho Ho Homicide)

oof

(Idk where Lex is.)

oof
I can't wait for this to start!

I'll give @"Lex Has Thicc Hair And Is Still Technically Celebrating Christmas But Shhhh " a little bit more time, then we can start.

If they aren't on soon then we can start and they can complete their template then.

Alright

(I'm going to add one more character in..)

Name: Cyrus Aster Adler
Age: Appears to be around 19 years old, though is closer to 75 (witches age slowly compared to humans)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual (Leans towards women more)
Species: Witch
Appearance: Lightly colored, almost honey brown hair that falls in messy curls and waves. Her skin is a paler tone with light freckles dotting the bridge of her nose, cheeks, shoulders and collarbone, aren't very noticeable unless you look closely. Flushed undertones on cheekbones and collarbone. Fuller lips that are usually cracked or chapped from how much she bites down on them, a lighter pink tone. Almond shaped, tawny brown eyes that reflect nearly everything, framed by thick, light lashes, darker brows compared to her hair. Around 5'6 with a leaner and petite build. Small scars on the bridge of her nose, raised white scars on her jawline and hands, and a small nick in her left ear. (can be referenced for her appearance https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9a/ad/38/9aad385119f5ec77997e5daf61cec374.jpg)
Usual Outfit: Cyrus usually wears mellower tan, creme, orange and pastel colors. Likes to wear small blouses or sweaters and a tan leather jacket or small coat, one side of the collar is usually popped up on accident. Only wears jeans, usually darker colors. Clear sunglasses, lots of silver bangles on her wrist, cassette player tucked into her pocket; follows almost all the new trends. Faded, short boots where the laces are almost always untied.
Personality: A bit quieter and withdrawn when first seen, more of an observer. Can be described as artistic, soulful and thoughtful, someone who notices smaller things in others. Charismatic, has an eye for causing trouble, mischievous. A dreamer and always looks a bit tired. Can be a little blind to other people's sensitivities, brash and impulsive at times, doesn't take great care of herself.
Familiar: Bast, a small, chirping bird.
Backstory: Cyrus originally lived in a town not far from Corbin Springs, though she had been excommunicated from her coven due to a series of events; most pertaining to people finding out that she was a witch. Instead of staying, she and her aunt moved in with her cousin, Smith Adler. (She had lost her mother when she was born, and her father was the high priest in the last coven and refused to leave. Also, she's so much older because when she signed the "Book of the Horned God" in her last coven, it had been in the early 1900's. Witches just age a lot slower, making her look about 19) There, she made her way into the new coven, and currently resides in the high school with her cousin.
Other: Studies more medicinal aspects of spells, though is also interested in charms and necromancy.

I'm so sorry Nessie
My friend got ahold of my laptop and asked to join.

(Wait, so does that mean that we're ready to start? Or are you still part of this?)

I am not and was never a part of this.

That's okay lex! Don't worry about it.
And yes, that means that we can start now.
