They are safe, inside their sanctuary of silver and steel. They go about their lives as though nothing has happened—behind the glass, automobiles of aluminum and plastic rumble along paved streets while they themselves trudge along the sides of the road, as they do every day, to get to their destinations. Their sharp, grey suits are crisp and pressed, their attache cases clutched in clenched fingers as though their immortal souls were contained within. They march on, like insects within their colony, delusions of individuality and freedom trapped, held prisoner, in their minds. Never have they questioned these ideas, for they’ve had no reason to. The truth has been hidden from them for so long, it’s been forgotten.

The truth would destroy them. Will destroy them. For we are the truth. They call themselves the race of humanity. There is nothing humane about their existence. They wage war on one another; for oil, for their gods, for the shiny rocks that grow from the ground. For what? For nothing. They are slaves to that which they own; their televisions and computer screens govern where they are at any given time, while their cellular phones and their internet trap them in a web that has all but destroyed the intricate weave of magic that once covered their Earth. Their ancestors, wielding true power, completely unlike anything they currently know, were the same as they are now—but infinitely different.

We had once lived peacefully, side by side. They were little more than barbarians when we first found them, but they showed great potential. For centuries, millenia even, we benefitted from one another’s presence. They provided us protection, for they were the physically stronger of the two, and we provided them knowledge—knowledge of mechanics, of science, of magic. They learned quickly--surpassed our wildest expectations. The guard dog became the conqueror, then. Their betrayal came on swift winds. Using our own mystical talents, they sealed us here, in this negative plane, this vast wasteland where no grass grows, no flowers bloom, no hearts beat. Timeless. Our bodies have remained unchanged for what has been an eternity. We have retained our mysticism, albeit unable to use it in this place. Our memories are unchanged. We remember Man’s betrayal as if they sealed the gate mere moments before.

Man has become soft. They rely on their computers, their automobiles, and their guns to solve their problems. They are physically unable to live without their technology. They now have no defense. Their guards, who they trapped here, with us, lay dead at my feet. Their world, for the world we once inhabited with them is And now, the gate stands open, and we watch them as they go about their lives, only a thin sheet of glass standing in our way.

They are oblivious to the army, standing among the corpses of their fallen brethren, awaiting the moment that they will reclaim their throne. Our time has come.


--Anonymous Banished One

The Premise: The Banished are a race of magic wielding beings who were sent to the Negative Plane by the humans they sought to educate in the ways of the universe. As centuries passed, humanity forgot what magic was, relying on technology to perform their daily activities. A small, secretive group of humans continued to practice magic should the Banished return. And return they have, in force. For the past three weeks, random acts of violence are occurring on the streets of the city--cars fall from the sky to explode on the street, killing sprees have become commonplace.

The Setting: Modern day Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The Plot: Our protagonists are thrown into a dangerous situation in the midst of a crisis. They must find out the origin and put a stop to it. More as it unfolds.

The Characters: As a writer in this storybook, you may make only human characters, who fall into two categories. The first category is Watcher: These humans are trained in the Arcane Arts in order to defend the world of man from the Banished, should they ever escape. Typically, the secrets of the Banished and the Gate are passed on from generation to generation, but as time has passed, and as technology encompasses more and more of the world, the secret has been passed to others outside the bloodline. The secrets themselves are still jealously guarded, but it is not uncommon for humans with no blood ties to the original Watchers to learn the art. Women are more often Watchers than men, though exact reasons are unknown. Each Watcher manifests his or her magic differently, some working through mediums such as scrolls or chants, others merely concentrating on what they need to do. See the sample character profile for more information.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Manifestations are *not* mutant powers, like in XMen. Think of a manifestation as how one controls or channels her magic. Tiernan, profiled below, uses blood to manipulate the magical energies in his body. Further examples include Chanting, Material Components, Art, Dance, Song, and so forth. Everyone who has written a manifestation needs to send me a PM describing how their character would cast a spell. We'll work from there in finding a way to make your manifestation work.

The second category is just your Average Joe. These characters are normal humans, with no formal training in the arts. They may be talented in the Arcane, or they may just be regular people trying to make their way. Either way, as the world descends into chaos, they are sucked into it. Be imaginative with your characters here.

Rules: These are important.

1)No team-killing: If an active character is going to die, make sure it is thoroughly discussed between both parties involved.

2)On Writing Style: This is a Storybook RPG, so players may write in any style they please. First person, third person omniscient, it's all dependent on your personal preference.

3)On God-Moding:

God Moding is vague. Here are the rules for it.

-- Other authors may control another author's character as long as it keeps the character IN CHARACTER. For extra help, communicate with the author of the character being god-moded first.

-- Authors have every right to determine what is in or out of character for their character. As such, any action they feel is wrong for the character can be vetoed within a few days of the post.

-- This isn't a turn-based RPG, it is a real-time RPG. That means that you aren't obligated to stop and wait for the author to reply to your character. This way, we don't wait three days for a response.

4) Out of character discussion is to be carried out in the Discussion Thread for this Storybook.

5) I reserve the right to edit any post to modify content as needed in order to retain the continuity of characters and plot.

Sample Watcher:
Full Name: Robert Tiernan Dolsser
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Birthplace: NYC, New York
Occupation: Watcher
--Job: Librarian
Eyes: Brown
Hair: long black
Height: 6'
Weight: 140 lbs.
Social Class: Lower Middle
Appearance: Your typical "Goth" kid. Black clothes, black leather accessories, and chains out the yang. His body is covered in scars, both minuscule and monstrous--an after-effect of the medium through which he manifests his magic. He frequently wears dramatic eyeliner and henna tattoos.
Clothing:
--Baggy black cargo pants with dangling straps
--Tight black T-Shirt
--Spiked leather bracers
--Watcher's Pendant
--Heavy leather boots
Manifestation: Blood. Tiernan Manifests his magic by means of letting his own blood and infusing magical energy into it. The effect of the spell depends on the location and depth of the cut. Tiernan's magical focus is on offensive spells, either enhancing his physical capabilities or by missile projections in the form of fireballs and arcane bolts.
Brief History: Tiernan was raised by his grandfather to be a Watcher. He showed strong promise at a very early age, during a rough, violent school life in elementary school. He got in frequent fights with the other kids, even going as far as to fight two sixth graders at once in his second year. The older boys were tossing his lunchbox back and forth, when he decided enough was enough. He tackled one of the boys, but was immediately thrown off. He clipped his knuckles on a jagged fence, tearing them open. From that second, the tide turned--Tiernan fought viciously, and he had to be pulled off the half-conscious boys by the time the teachers got to them. Thus began a series of suspensions and expulsions. Byu the time he reached high school he has been transferred to five different districts. His parents sent him to his grandfather for lessons in discipline. His grandfather gave him these in the form of learning the ways of the Watcher.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I'm going to implement a new idea I had recently into this storybook, due to the sheer number of Watchers we have. I would like everyone to have a manifestation listed in their profile, regardless of whether they are a Watcher or not. However, do not include in your profile whether or not your character is in fact a Watcher. That will be my decision. Watchers are a highly secretive group--it's only logical that very few people would know of their existence. Hell...maybe the Watchers themselves don't know each other. So here's what I'd like to do. Everyone that's aboard for the storybook PM me with your preference for Watcher Status--either a Make me a Watcher or a Don't make me a Watcher--and I'll be choosing for you. If it really isn't working, we'll go ahead and go back to this way, but I'd like to try this. Carry on.

full name- Dhanisar Isani (Dhani for short)
gender- female
age- 17
birthplace- Cairo Egypt (her family are immigrants)
occupation- student (high school senior), taking a few college courses at NYU
eyes- bright green
hair- silver (she's part albino)
height- 5'3
weight- light
social class- middle lower

appearance- long silver hair pulled back in a ponytail that goes all the way down her back, tanned skin. She has a unique coloring (hair/eye color) that is connected to her manifestation. wears black almost constantly, her shirts almost never have sleeves. Her ears are pierced several times with silver earrings. symbol shaped birthmark like a tattoo on the back of her left hand.
clothing-
- long black pants
- calf high black boots
- sleeveless black shirt with a hood
- multiple ear piercings (all silver)
- goggles worn like a necklace around her neck

manifestation- Dhani is one of those people caught in between. She has Arcane abilities but no formal training and knows nothing about the Negative Plane, or the Banished ones. A descendant of Ancient Egyptian pharaohs, Dhani's power manifests itself in the manipulation of Fire. Her power rises and sets with the sun (like the myths pharaohs are the sun gods descendants), although the ability itself comes from within. Her aunt was a Watcher before she died. And fearing Dhani's abilities she sealed them away inside her, but as the years passed the seal has steadily grown weaker, and now Dhani's abilities are finally breaking free completely unrestrained.

*hey this sounds like fun my character will start off not knowing anything, but as the story book progresses she will become a watcher*

Hair: long brown curls
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 120lbs.
Social Class: Upper Middle
Appearance: Jillien doesn't really spend too much time worried about her appearance and generally does not fit into a clothing "category." She can be preppy but prefers to be comfortable and can often be found in a pair of jeans or bermuds shorts and a tshirt with or with a jacket.

She was adopted by a family there and lived there for about ten years until her father was called to New York for "work." They promptly moved into a loft in the city.

She was at NYU on a scholarship and only has three months to go until she officially graduates, although she not taking any classes currently.

manifestation-
1. self-taught intricate hand movements. when using power, the tatooes on James' wrists glow very slightly.
2, sense of justice. James can't manifest magic in a cause he considers unjust, and if feeling especially justified in a situation, it's easier for him to manifest powers.


Patient File

Id Number 117664 Name Given: James

gender- male

age- approximations between 21 and 29

birthplace- Unknown

occupation- Unknown

eyes- This patient exhibits an unusual affliction to the eyes, whereby the entire pupil, iris and sclera of the eye exhibits a completely black pigment. Despite this, patient 117664 retains near-perfect vision, with a slightly greater sensitivity to light than would be expected otherwise.

hair- when found, patient 117664 had the thick brown hair, which he still retains (though it has naturally been shortened as per regulations concerning patients). When found, patient’s hair was tied back in a topknot.

height- 6’1

weight- medium. - physical examination found inconclusive indications of recent severe malnourishment.

social class- Unknown

circumstances of arrival- 117664 (hereafter referred to by the name ‘James’) was found unconscious in Weatherton National Park. At the request of the (excert deleted), the patient was transferred from the local police department to the Philadeplphia Asylum for the assessment and treatment of Psychiatric Disorders (PATATO PI). Aside from the rather obvious physical anomalies in James’s conditions, no reason for this transfer has been provided.

Physical Abnormalities: The occular abnormality has been mentioned above, however basic blood tests have indicated that while James carries no contagious condition, he is by-and-large the most interesting case of bloodwork since the Penterton epidemic of 1962. His blood shows (sustained exert deleted). Though hardly rating a mention alongside such interesting conclusions, James was found with rather intricately laid tattoes around his wrists. Initial examinations hint at the herbal dyes used predominantly before the spread of ink products.

James’s case is unique in that his current physical condition is accompanied by severe amnesia. Though he regained the ability of speech after only a few days, and has been steadily improving since then, his knowledge base has been reduced to a rudimentary level. Due to the obvious attractions of the case, James has been put through his paces by a variety of specialists and while he seems to have a solid basis in mathematics and philosophy, his knowledge of basic history, current events, computer, automobile and otherwise technologically based apparatus is completely non-existent. As is often the case with so severe a case, all memories are currently out of James’s reach.

^^ The eyes would be a bit darker, and there would be make-up, but otherwise, it is pretty close.

Manifestation: Adrenalin. Whenever she gets an Adrenalin rush, she can trigger her magic. After awhile, she learned how to heighten her senses to make her on full alert where even the slightest sound or movement could release Adrenalin in her blood so she can use her magic.

Full Name: Chelsea Emma Donners

Gender: Female
Age: 24
Birthplace: Salem, Oregon
Occupation: Average Joe
--Job: Cashier at Barnes and Noble
Eyes: Green
Hair: Medium, red; ends barely touch her shoulders
--Style: semi-wedge
Height: 5'4
Weight: 127 lbs.
Social Class: Middle
Appearance: Light skin with freckles, still somewhat tanned from being in California. She's somewhat muscular, but not very. Just enough to show some muscle tone.


Clothing:

--Short sleeved shirts

--faded blue jeans

--sandals


Brief History: Parents busted for drugs and attempted robbery of a house when Chelsea was eight years old. After a background check, the court determined her parents were unfit to care for her, and so sent her to live with her aunt in California. Wanting a break from everyday life, Chelsea hit the road when she turned nineteen, despite her aunt's disapproval, and took a cross-country road trip she had been saving up for for a year and a half prior. Her trip was cut short when her aunt was diagnosed with stomach cancer. A few weeks after Chelsea arrived, her aunt died, regardless of the fact that she had shown signs of improving after Chelsea came back. She sought out other family members for comfort, but they all blamed her for leaving her aunt when she needed her the most, and they all but shunned her for it. Disgusted and angered, she again packed up and left the west coast, traveling aimlessly and using up the rest of her trip money, before she finally landed in Pennsylvania and settled down.

I had to think on this...

Name: Angella Stuart

Age: 20
Birthplace: St. Paul, Minnesota. Now resides in Philidelphia, Pennsylvania
Occupation: Watcher
--Job: Border's Coffee Shop
Eyes: Blue-green
Hair: Dirty-blonde just past her shoulders; layered
Height: 5'6
Weight: 123 lbs.
Social Class: Lower-middle

Clothing:
--Blue jeans
--Black spaghetti-strap shirt beneath a black blouse (half-way buttoned)
--Black heels
--Watcher's Pendant
Manifestation: Nourishment. Her magic runs off of good sleep and nutrition. Good sleep is equal to 8 hours, and good nutrition is, well, eating healthy. Razz Any sweets will lower her magic's effect. The little sleep she gets, the little effect her magic will have.

Her father, throughout her childhood, has taught her serious discipline. Her mother trained her to eat healthy and sleep well, turning it into habit. Angie's regularly caught eating an apple. She currently is in her third year of college.

Full Name: Nickolas (Nick) Lark
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Birthplace: Miami, Florida
Occupation: Watcher
--Job: Bus driver by day, comedian by night
Eyes: Light gray
Hair: Black, spiked
Height: 6’ 2”
Weight: 145 lbs
Social Class: Middle
Appearance: Black hair that’s always spiked up, light gray eyes, and a small scar running along his right jaw line. He has a birthmark that looks like an hourglass on the back of his shoulder. His clothing changes daily, but his most preferable outfit is as follows. He rarely to never takes his bracelet off.
Clothing:
--Simple blue jeans
--Simple dark brown or green t-shirt
--Flip-flops or black converse
--Gray trenchcoat and the occasional scarf if the day is cold.
--Watcher's Pendant
--A simple silver bracelet on his right wrist
Manifestation: Manifestation: Spoken Word. If/When Nick talks about/describes something, and the 'audience' is able to picture what he is talking about, then that mental image can gain substance and become an actual 'thing' if he wishes it. For example, if he describes a small black cat with bright yellow eyes and short fur, and at least one other person around him is able to picture *clearly* what he's describing, then he can will that spoken word into an actual living, breathing thing.

Brief History: Nick grew up in Miami with his parents who passed away just a few years ago due to a violent murder. He surfed almost every day and became quite good. He was a ‘wild-child’, as most adults termed him. However, when he was sixteen, his parents were murdered and he was forced to move up to Philadelphia to live with his grandparents. He found his first job as a comedian at a local night-club. He started driving busses around town when he was nineteen and has kept at it since then. He misses surfing dearly and will occasionally take a trip to the coast for a weekend.
