Secret Lives (open)
Thu Jul 28, 2005 2:44 am
((Special thanks to Eo and our most recent rp for inspiring this))
We all have a secret life. A small part of us that we tuck away in the deepest, darkest part of our soul. Many create an outlet for this life, called magic. For ions, humans have used this magic, stemming from the ancient Egyptians to the American Indians. But few have perfected magic like the English. They have printed books on the matter, learned to summon demons and Djinn (genies). Some are well practiced, though many are not. But all those who are learned in magic, despite race or history, are not always magical. The hide there powers behind a mask of normality. They hide their Secret Lives.
Rules:
All normal forum rules apply
You can have your character be of any race
If you'd like, you may be a Djinn or Demon
Setting is London, 1802, so please keep to the time

History:
Name: Natheen Mathers
Age: 13
Occupation: Apprentice to Anthony Mathers
Ethnicity: English/French
Appearance: He is skinny and tall, with pale skin and a sharp nose. His skin has far too many lines for one so young, heavy bags hang beneath stormy gray eyes. His hair is thick and white, though many believe it to be a light blonde. He usually dresses in simple gray suits. His eyes are fierce and speak of his inner magic.
Magic: He is trained in the art of demon summoning, as taught to him by his Master. He also has a strange connection with birds, able to understand them, especially a gray colored barn owl which he calls Fredrick.
History: He born in an orphanage, and at the age of one he was placed in the care of Anthony Mathers, a old, wealthy and powerful magician-slash-politician. He took up the surname, though does not care for it. Mathers was killed when he was only a few months younger, and he has pushed himself to the limits of his powers with summonings. With each summons, he grows more powerful with magic, but weaker physically, aging prematurely.

Name: Kai Cordatus
Age: 12
Occupation: Poor person, scavenges for food.
Ethnicity: Half-English, Half-Scottish
Appearance: Cold, grey eyes. Dark brown hair that is just scraping his neck.
Magic: (i.e. elemental, summoning, etc) Elemental
History: His mother died while giving birth to him, his father having left his mother before he was born. He was going to be given to another family but his 8 year-old brother stole him away. He helped Kai stay alive until he was old enough to be able to get food. Kai's brother, James, had been stressing himself to stay alive just so that Kai could be alive. Now that Kai could live by himself James finally let the pain stress over him and died. That had been when Kai was 5, and now he hated anyone spoiled, rich or powerful. They didn't know how hard life had been. Almost daily Kai would cry for his brother, and vowed to take revenge on his father for leaving them.

((I'm a little Irish, but not by much. Anyways, I'm playing a part French character just because I love their language... As for Meiou, the appearance of your character is fine, and the Celts were sort of still around, they still are in fact, just not as much as before all the stuff with the English. Braveheart can actually be very informative sometimes...))
