@TwistedRae (just gonna ping myself....)
Basically: the Seer is a magic user who uses the cover of the night to help out where the guards will not, and is seen by a criminal by the authorities and a hero by the citizens. By day he's just another guy walking the streets, at night he's the Seer, a revered figure of disobedience.
Of course, someone like him will have both enemies and fans....and both would want to know the person underneath the hood who hides behind witty banter and magic. Feeling the stress of being the city's night owl, he's close to breaking.
How to be:
· A guard: they wear red and gold military suits, though most customise their outfits to fit their personalities. Each one is trained to fight with a sword and a rifle. That's all you need to know for a guard character, tbh.
· A detective: This you can decide, though most tend to work with the guards.
· A citizen: no requirements.
· A magic user: Magic will often tie in with the user's emotions, either manifesting through great upset or excitement, and sometimes, for those who have less control, their emotions dictate how they use their magic. The color is often unique to each user, the most often colors beings green, red, or blue. Those with golden or white magic tend to be the strongest.
If a new magician uses up too much energy they can easily kill themselves, so it's wise for young magic users to find themselves a mentor.
Far too many young magic users dream of the Seer being their mentor. >>
· Anyone else not mentioned: knock yourself out.
Government wise, we're going with a king/queen sort, and it's totally acceptable if you want to play as the king/queen or a child of theirs, just know they won't have much freedom as characters.
RULES/IMPORTANT THINGS
The usual rules imply here. No GM, no killing another person's character, etc etc.
There is no character limit, but only have as many as you can handle.
Please be over 15, as there will be the occasional violence and there might be romantic subplots.
(The next things are more for myself, and I apologize if it seems harsh)
I require that you are able to: Match me for length, for every reply UNLESS it's a bad day. I can get that, but having a reply as one paragraph every time blows and I'll end up dropping the roleplay regardless of what my partner thinks or feels. I just can't do anything if I don't have enough description to work with, especially since I reply with at least two paragraphs every single time, even when my health dwindles.
I'd also like spelling, grammar and punctuation to be on point (only exception is given to those who do not have English as their first language) and that every paragraph (3 to 5 sentences) be separated. No one wants to read a text block hun. Especially not me and my bad vision.
Our characters probably won't know each other unless specified early on, though we can all assume unless new to the city Seer is known by reputation. Same goes for the king/queen and any children they might have.
When I ask for race, I mean there are more than just humans. You have your hybrids, elves, horned people, etc etc. As long as it's plausible for a city based rp, I don't mind.

My characters:
Name: Only known as the Seer
Race: Assumed an elf
Age: Assumed to be in his early twenties
Occupation: Much hated and much loved magic user.
Gender: Male
Height: 5'5
Eye color: Golden amber
Description/reference(written or picture): A slim, delicate figure, if not for his magic, he'd most likely be bowled over by the guards in three seconds flat. His hair is a messy, unkempt golden blond, though it's almost always hidden beneath his hood. In the daylight, he looks a bit sickly, frail like he's always exhausted or in pain.
His skin is extremely pale, and he has a scar in the shape of an X on the back of his left hand. He's always cold to the touch, and his fingers are long and spidery. He appears gaunt or starved in fire light, and his eyes have a haunted look to them. His magic is a blinding golden-white, and has no specialty, uses all magic.
He mainly wears a plain black turtleneck, black pants, grey boots with steel toes and a white and dark blue cloak.
Personality traits: Sarcastic, somber, sometimes he can be very distant or detached from people.
Sexuality: pansexual
Likes/Dislikes: He likes being a vigilant, and he loves tea, cookies, being warm, wearing cozy sweaters and helping out where and when he can (also likes his lovers taller than himself). He dislikes medicine, physical contact, being cold and being called a criminal. Also has an aversion to fish stew.
Name: Finnian Greye
Race: Hornless elf
Age: 20
Occupation: Magic user
Gender: male
Height: 5'5
Eye color: golden amber
Description/reference(written or picture):A slim, delicate figure, with jaw length, messy golden blond hair. He always looks sick and exhausted, and it's obvious by how thin he is that he eats very little. He's very frail, as if he might break of someone were to touch him.
His skin is extremely pale, and he has a scar in the shape of an X on the back of his left hand. He's always cold to the touch, and his fingers are long and spidery. He appears gaunt or starved in fire light, and his eyes have a haunted look to them. His magic is a blinding golden-white, and has no specialty, uses all magic.
He mainly wears a plain black turtleneck, black pants, grey boots with steel toes and a white and dark blue cloak. During the day or while he's working he tends to wear a white or black dress shirt (with the sleeves always rolled up to his elbows), black or grey pants, grey work boots, and a black apron. On cold days he wears a turtleneck.
Personality traits: Sarcastic, somber, sometimes he can be very distant or detached from people. He honestly tries to be cheerful and polite, but finds it hard to be happy when he'll probably be dead before he's 25. He also flinches when people raise their voices in a hostile manner when he can't hide behind a hood and pretend to be someone he's not.

Name: Wren Wilde
Race: Horned elf/human
Age: 29
Occupation: Detective
Gender: ??????? Doesn't compute with them.
Height: 5'8
Eye color: Blue
Description/reference(written or picture): Strong, muscular build, broad shoulders and semi masculine features. They could probably pick up an average sized person and throw them across a room. They have wild, long blue-grey hair that they keep in a ponytail or braid at all times. Their skin is dark and heavily scarred, and they're blind in one eye.
They don't talk about their blind eye. They also wear a lot of green.
Personality traits: Quiet, extremely patient, secretive, and they're also rather understanding of personal issues.
Sexuality: Asexual, though they would have a romantic relationship with anyone of any gender.
Likes/Dislikes: They like warm, freshly baked bread, cooking, old books and working. They dislike corrupt guards, lazy people, unnecessary layers of clothes, magic, and hate talking about their eye and scars.
Name: Realia Borae
Race: Four-Horned elf
Age: 31
Occupation: Magic user - owns a tavern for other magic users.
Gender: female
Height: 6'1
Eye color: Green
Description/reference(written or picture): Green eyes, green-blue hair, and dark, near black skin. She's a well rounded individual, with a wide chest, broad shoulders, and muscular, long legs. She's developed quite the muscle so that she doesn't have to hire anyone to watch the rowdy patrons.
She has obvious curves and tends to wear lots of skirts and dresses to show them off, but she also wears armor bewitched to stay undetectable until she needs it. Her magic is a bright green-yellow, and her specialty is plant manipulation.
Personality traits: Big mama-bear to her young patrons, kind, blunt, and affectionate. She welcomes everyone with a smile and a cheery hello.
Sexuality: She loves everyone man.
Likes/Dislikes: She likes people, being social, her flowers, a clean tavern, loves her two dogs Ruthart and Hound, and loves big tippers. She dislikes guards, rude people, abusive scum, cats, and hates it when magic is used in a fight in her tavern.
Name: Sylas Giniean Hyde
Race: Unknown/some sort of horned and winged humanoid.
Age: let's just say he's old (his species live long lives, he's probably around 70 or so, but looks like he's still in his late twenties)
Occupation: Ambassador of an unknown city, also an obvious magic user.
Gender: Male
Height: 7'1
Eye color: extremely pale, icy blue - glows an eerie pale white in the dark.
Description/reference(written or picture): Tall and slender, with a graceful, elegant stature, Sylas cuts an intimidating figure where ever he goes. He has long white-silver hair that he ties back with a blue ribbon, either in a braid or a loose ponytail. His horns are a dark grey, with subtle tones of black and blue, and curve backwards around his head, like a demonic halo.
Sylas's skin color is a bit of a conversation starter (if you don't mention the horns or wings first) as it's a pale grey that fades into a dark grey with a blue-ish tint at his hands and at the tips of his pointed ears.
His wings come out from between his shoulder blades, are an inky black that fades into a pale blue, and drag on the ground with the length. The texture is akin to expensive velvet, soft and warm to the touch. They're also very sensitive, and quiver and flare with any unexpected touch. When in flight, his wingspan is well over 10 feet.
Sylas wears only the most expensive looking clothes, always either black, blue or a dark red. He once wore pinstripes; never again. He wears a blue ring on his left hand and a plain silver wedding ring on a chain around his neck. He also carries a redwood cane with him where ever he may go, and is actually a disguised sword.
He also smells like coffee, leather, and parchment.
Personality traits: Sylas's personality is a bit like how he walks: quiet, subtle, and elegant. He has an air of mystery and sorrow around him, and can appear cold and unnecessarily mean at first. In reality, he's in mourning, as his husband of thirty years died four years ago, along with their adopted daughter. Around those he believes are important he is polite, refined, and cautious.
Under his many, many shields Sylas is a caring individual who takes personal offense to cities that don't take care of their poor and sick.
Sexuality: Homosexual
Likes/Dislikes: He likes plain black coffee, cats (he has two that he brought with him for company), dark chocolate, flying at night, and reading. He dislikes dogs, crowds, humans, and unwelcome touching of his wings or horns.

I'll make the starting post in just a second. Wrist hurts from typing so much at once. Go ahead and post your character info anyway, and jump in after I start.
The city of Patience has always been strange, had always had its fair share of odd events, of monsters and of unexplained individuals. One of these unexplained individuals is the Seer. No one knows who exactly he is, or what he is, but most refer to him as the cloaked vigilant, the night owl, the spirit of the night.
The guards find him irritating, unnecessary, they think him a fiend, a criminal who can and will use magic in the worst way. To the citizens, he's their savoir, a light in the dark that banishes their fears. To himself, he's just someone willing to help. When others see him at night running along the rooftops, silhouetted by the moon, they know he's on the prowl.
However....with the guards and detectives and even curious fans on his tail, the Seer is feeling the strain of keeping his true identity a secret. Constantly on the run, being ambushed by journalists and detectives alike, he's bound to slip up - bound to make a fatal mistake sooner rather than later.
Can this cloaked vigilant keep his face hidden forever?
