The Mages of Crediath (open)
Fri Nov 19, 2004 11:51 pm
1373 A.D. Wales
"The boy carries all the properties of a mage..."
"Not my William."
"Sir, if you let us take him, he will get all the training of a Mage. He is destined to lead us."
The two men looked at the ebony-haired child. It was hard to believe a ten year old could be a mage. The boy's father sighed and turned back to the robed mage. He nodded solomly.
"William, go with this man," he said, putting a hand on the child's shoulder. "He will care for you now." The child imbraced his father, then got in the carriage with the man.
"Your name from now on will be Zeta," the robed man told him.
* * *
Six years later
Zeta held his hands over the steaming cauldron, chanting. A surge of power knocked him off his feet and into the wall. His ebony hair started to change colors. It became golden, with silver streaks every few inches. It was the sign that he had passed the test. He was now a Mage of the Order of Crediath, the red mages. He was their leader now, his job to combate the Others, the black mages. It was time for him to prove himself...

((I've never read Tamora Peirce- but I've seen it waved infront of my facec many times before- so tell me if I get this wrong. It just sounds like its all Tamora Peirce related from the Tamora Peirce comments ))
Name: Naria Iam
Class: Mage black
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Apperance: Naria has waist length, thin black hair. It falls in straight strands, swinging about her hips as she walks. She is of normal hue, with deep, black eyes, and small lips. Her overall face is cold, but if she would ever smile, Naria might be considered pretty.
The one thing Naria hates about herself is her height, she is a small girl-even for her age- and thin in build, which the girl detests.
Background: Naria was born into a drastically poor family, and they were reluctant to let her go when the men came to take her- for she might catch a lovely on the child slave market when she was older.
But, although it had only hinted that she would be a powerful mage, they insisted that they took Naria, and it was clear that even if they hadn't consented, they would have taken her anyway.

((sure destiny, you can be a white mage))
The hooves of Zeta's black stallion, Borinyl, echoed around the courtyard of the mage school. Zeta sat atop Borinyl, the pale light of the sunrise making his gold and silver hair sparkle. Strapped to the saddle was a sturdy sword and a gnarled staff. Zeta was always going off with out the permission of the elders, but he felt he deserved it. He had passed his final test a month ago, and was now offically a Red Mage. He patted the horse's neck and drew his cloak around himself. "Let's go" he whispered as they got to the gates. He did not even look back at the home he had had for six years.

(.:Requiem:., a couple of things. First, is your character acting male, like mine? Second, do you want to just be choosing Mattia as your Squire, or will she already have been your Squire?)
Matthew glanced out the window, hearing the noise of hoofbeats. Sighing as he saw who it was, he closed the book he had been studying, and grabbed his apprentices staff. "There he goes again..." Matthew muttered to himself as he quickly sealed the letter he had just finished. "I'd better go after him, and make sure he doesn't get into any trouble."
Matthew had seen Zeta leave a few times, and always he had wondered where he went. Now he would follow, at a distance for awhile, until he was far enough away from the school that he couldn't be sent back... easily, anyways. Of course, he didn't know how far that would be.
Grinning at the thought that this was something his sister would do, he scurried down the stairs after the Mage.
(Oh, and if I need to change anything here, just tell me, Sir Isaac.)

[Probably a strange question, but hey...
What's the difference between black and red mages?
Anyway...
Name: Jack.
Class: Red mage.
Age: 17.
Gender: Male.
Appearance: Short cropped red hair, light olive-green eyes. Wears a long black robe with red trimmings at the bottom, wears nothing on his head, and wears a pendant that has no special powers, only sentimental value. The pendant has a sapphire-set stone with a hole cut in the middle. It is on a silver chain, which is thin, but hard to break. Wears an ivory bracelet around his wrist; it is meant to be a good luck charm.
Background: Doesn't have much of a background -- doesn't know who his parents are, doesn't really know who he is. But he knows exactly want he wants, and that's to be a mage.
Other: Has a horse. Can't be bothered to think up name right now.
Just to let you guys know, I may forget to come on PPT sometimes, as I'm no longer a regular. My RP skills are also a tad on the rusty side, as I have not RPed probably for two-three months.
But I promise I'll try; I'm an old hand and I missed RP.]

((nope, twiz, it's fine with me! and Anubis, the differences in black and red mages are that red mages work more with fire, black mages work more with shadow magic. And the there's kinda a rivalry between black and red mages. everyone, keep that in mind.))

Humming to a song which the festivities of village had celebrated the prior night, Rhys collected his vials of powdered herbs, colorful potions and scrolls. Placing each article carefully into his sack he grabbed his coat and put it on.
"Hrm.." he knotted his sack and slung it behind his back, looking at his home, it was becoming considerably more appealing as his thoughts of where he was going grew. Picking himself from where he had been sitting, Rhys steppeds out from his home into the dull light of the morning.
Looking fondly at his plants and others of the earth, he reminded himself that this was something that had to be done. This thief had plagued his village of their eggs, vegetable and other resources since the fortnight before last, and being the only man without wife and child, Rhys, was picked to go slay whoever it was who had been taking their fair.
He smiled fondly at his home! "Rest well!" he then turned and proceeded into the thick trees which lined the humble village.

Crawling among the vegetation in the forest around a village of which he had cleverly made a mental map of the homes of which beheld valuble things. Looking into the village square, there was alot of debre around. Last night's party, he thought. It was hard to get any food as everyone was about and he was hungry. He needed food quick. Quickly and rapidly mentally visiting in the places of which may hold some scraps, or even something bigger.
'Where? Oh yes.' Then he paused, 'That's it. Here we go.' He whispered. But before he could get up and attempt his newest adventure, as he called them, he heard a twig snap and light footsteps. He paused, stirred around and dived into the mud, and crawled away.
'Damnit. That stupid herbalist.' He thought, he crawled more careful not to make a sound as he would be surely killed for the recent raid he had plagued apon the village. After a while, he rested after crawling for some time now. He peeked up and saw he was in good range of the village. Then he thought of another place he savage some food from, pausing and went into the attack.
He slowly crept around someones hut, with his body pressed against the wall, side stepping, he came to the corner. He listened, there was no sound. Quickly he peeped his head around and saw noone. He followed the next wall. Then he paused. He heard muttering. He quickly slid around the other way and saw that the person had already gone. He slid inside.
