Obviously we've set this rp up to be one involved with several different types of characters. Consequently, we've set it up in a fashion that could involve a lot of originality as well as a lot of confusion. The character class system has also been created as a way to dim down the confusion by classifying your character based on his or her most remarkable attributes. Your character class is the base from which your power (if any) derives. The following character classes are acceptable; this list may change based on whomever can suggest the best alternative. Upon creating your account and character with this site, you may only choose one class.
Witchcraft: As a kid, you may have loved reading fairytale s. All the stories about horrible monsters and wonderful wizards might've always amused you. Witchcraft is the modern practice of magic as we know it. The magical energies of the universe may be manipulated in various ways. Perhaps you were born with magic in your blood and all your life magical things have happened to you. Perhaps you've taken years to study the art through dark tombs and secret libraries and have developed a persistent ability to actually posses it. Perhaps you use a wand or some other magical item to stir it's workings.
((This class if chosen for any one who's powers may be magically attributed. Magic may be cast in any way. If you use a wand or you wave your hands around or you whisper an incantation, what ever works for you is fine. Remember though, for you harry potter wand wielders, the idea of magic is generally scoffed at, so the existence of magic creatures is kept at a minimum. Thus any one who wants to use a phoenix feather wand better have some rp expierence and a good story as to how you obtained such an item backing it up. Also all magic must be used through the casting of spells that are created, listed, and accepted here... (link to follow)))
Mutants: Obviously the world is changing. Darwin said those best equipped to survive live long enough to pass on their traits. Now in the sense of natural progression the dogs with the better noses can sniff out the foxes and the deer with the stronger legs can get away faster. But a thousand years ago humans some how went from barking monkeys to massively populating the planet using intelligence. Today a new jump in evolution is occurring among few hundreds of people. In various fashions people are gaining abilities that put them the edge in normal society. Whether these abilities include optic rays or super speed they are popping up every where. To the dismay and fear of the few regular people who accept it's actually happening.
(( Here is your basic X-men style capability. Again I only compare this class to the X-men to clarify what it's supposed to mean. Take this class if you wanna style your character in that fashion, but please be original. As many as one primary and two secondary powers may be chosen as long as they're not hugely god moddish and a good story is included. This is where being a literate player comes in handy. Also, physical alteration is included as a secondary power.))
Divine: This type of character has been gifted by the gods. Perhaps the Grecian pagan gods looked kindly on some happy individual and gifted them with the attributes of their heroes. Perhaps the Native American spirits favor and guide this character. In some cases a devote follower of God was rewarded with the strength of will to carry out his wishes, then there are others who conspire with the demons of hell reap the ability to carry out their own mortal agendas at the cost of their very souls.
((This class is devoted to those who are divinely effected in an amazing way. While the gods choose not to change the world they reign, it is possible that they give their subjects the ability to carry out their will. Also, by divine I mean the character is influenced by any extraneous, supernatural force.))
Psycho-Extreme: In Tibet, there are monks who can stop their own hearts from beating just with the power of their own minds! In this world, there are regular individuals who can smash your face in in much the same fashion. Psycho-Extremists are people who were first born with the intelligence to best understand their own minds and how they work, and were then obliged to spend their lives pushing the limit of the full function of the human mind. Today they can read your thoughts, adjust your memories, move things, generate illusions or even create or bend matter all with a simple thought.
((Does any one remember Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid or Stephen King's Carrie? These are the same kinds of characters.))
Human-Extreme: These people have spent all their lives training their minds and bodies to perform at peak conditions. They're smart, intuitive, and quick on their feet and they realize they can do anything so long as they put their mind to it.
((These kind of characters remind me of Batman or Han Solo. They found something they're good at and they keep doing it.))
