A Magical War | A Group-Write

@ castiel's vessel
It looks good! I'm loving the last names.

@ oasis.
@ paper sirens.

OK... so I should probably start filling out the first page, just so we don't get lost in the pages.
I'm gonna need your character names, age, power, personality.. etc.

@ She Said Poptarts
Nora Tate, age 84, the power of Atmokinesis from birth (power to manipulate weather) and the power she developed from her personality at 25 was Telekinesis (power to manipulate and control objects with the mind).

She'll be calm minded and rationale, although at time she can lose her cool only to regain it when reminded of her inheritance and how she cannot gain it unless she truly assumes the abilities of Head Witch: calm at all times, able to relate to all witches so that there's honesty, able to control her emotions even when it comes to stressful or dangerous situations. She'll be half way there, after having enchanted her love, Victor, when she was 34 and removed any trace of magic from him as his life after it was discovered that she was to become Head Witch once Eileen passed on, and she couldn't allow them to kill him because she didn't know whether she'd be able to cope after it. Some of the younger witches who rely on their powers for everything annoy her because she knows that their powers are the most valuable assets a witch can have, but with their human side they have to embrace their abilities and rely on common sense and intuition most of the time.

Do you think a family tree is needed for the warlock coven? If so, I can make one for them as well and if any names are necessary/ages in the coven, I'll incorporate them but if not then I could have it done tomorrow.

Also I don't know about the prologue. What would be in it? The death of the sister to show the ignition for the war?

@ castiel's vessel

The family tree looks great!! Good job putting everything together.

I think a family tree for the warlock coven would be necessary if we want to include love interests, etc. Otherwise, we would probably just need to know the leader and the names of anyone our characters come in contact with.

As for the prologue, I think the death of Camilla's sister would be a good start. It would set off the plot for the whole story, as well as for my character. Perhaps Clarissa could have died a year or so from the present and the prologue is a "recap".

I'll get working on it!

@ paper sirens.
Yeah, I think she should have died either a year or a few before the story starts.

And the warlocks will play a big part, especially when they're working together, that's why I suggested the tree for them as well. Just in case someone mentioned warlock A is related to warlock B only, and then a few chapters on it is stated that warlock A is actually the brother of warlock F and there's inconsistencies. (If that made sense with the examples. )

@ castiel's vessel
The tree for the warlocks would definitely help us avoid some potential difficulties.

I was thinking my character with the enchanted bracelet would always feel the good and bad effects that the warlock put on them. So not only would the bracelet, necklace, ring, whatever, constrict her powers but it would also make her feel more "at ease" so even if she were to take it off, she wouldn't want to because the power of the enchanted item has such a strong affect on the stability of her emotions. In this way, he not only manipulates when her powers come into play, but he keeps her believing that the bracelet (and in turn himself) are both necessary for her to keep trying to unlock her powers.

I think he could maybe be masquerading as a supernatural or complete human, all depends on what we decide in the future - but he would always avoid meeting the 'family' my girl calls her coven.

^^ In addition to that,
Name: Acacia
Age: 23
Powers: All the witches in her coven can sense that she holds power, but thinks she just needs more practice or time to mature into her powers before they give her a label. I think eventually it will be a mix of Clairvoyance and Astrakinesis (the ability to create electrical discharges and lightning bolts or electrons in machines) - if that's all right?

Info/Personality: Acacia isn't always thinking straight, kind of keeps to herself only really knowing her grandmother Eileen. Other than that, she's comfortable being alone and immersing in spell books trying to coax her powers out although, one wouldn't exactly call her "studious." She likes to take advantage of her charms and doesn't get herself tangled with coven affairs. Since she doesn't know what her powers are, only that she gets random bursts of energy like electricity, she's caused her fair share of accidents and doesn't really feel like she fits in with everyone. Because of that, she's become an easy target for way of a warlock to infiltrate.

Sorry for taking so long. I got overwhelmed with life. I figured this is okay, although I confused myself at first when making it in regards to the ages, but that's only because alive children was older than dead parents and I didn't understand why for a moment. And with the unknown member, I was thinking that they left the coven/family and therefore they are not thought about, spoken about or even acknowledged, and any trace of them is wiped away.

@ castiel's vessel
omg, at first I was like... what, this one has more men?
But then I remembered that you were going to make a family web for the warlock coven. It looks great!

@ castiel's vessel
It looks great! And just curious, are the two witches part of the warlock coven or something like that?
And I probably should've given you info about the warlock I wanted to do recon for the coven and start infiltrating by being with Acacia

@ She Said Poptarts
Now that I look at both family trees, there's only 12 witches remaining in their coven while there's 17 warlocks in their coven.

@ oasis.
The witches are just thrown in like we have that warlock as a partner to a witch in their coven. I mean, there'll be other witches and warlocks outside of the two covens and maybe not even part of any coven, so getting with another magical creature wouldn't be too uncommon.

I vaguely remember you saying something about him not being related to anyone in the coven but being more of a "hired help" sort of thing, in a way.

@ castiel's vessel
It's okay if there's more warlocks. Makes for a more interesting story because the odds are against them. Oh, and the family trees look great! I haven't decided if Camilla's love interest should be a warlock or not. Decisions decisions.

@ paper sirens.
To be fair, 5 of the warlocks are under the age of 10.

I think it'd be a change if Camilla's love interest was nonmagical. Nora's is a warlock that's inactive/cursed, Acacia's is a warlock hired by the coven. I'm not sure whether Rowan had a love interest though.

@ castiel's vessel
sounds like something I would say and I do tend to forget a lot forgive me lol and I imagine the kid warlocks being absolutely adorable !

@ oasis.
If you want him to be related, I can add him in no problem. Just tell me who he'll be related to and how.

@ castiel's vessel
No, it's fine! I like the hired hand a little better to be honest. It'll make for more conflicted feelings and loyalty strains when it comes down to it.

@ castiel's vessel
I actually was kind of thinking that her love interest would be a downworlder or whatever we're going to call them.

@ paper sirens.
So like a vampire or a werewolf or that kind of thing? It would certainly cause trouble, I would think.

@ castiel's vessel
Yeah, but it's going to be more of a love/hate relationship.

@ paper sirens.
That'll be interesting!

@ castiel's vessel
@ paper sirens.
@ oasis.

Um, did we think of a setting?
Where will the story be taking place?

Also, when the 'war' happens will it be like "trying to take over the world" kind of thing? Or just will it be a thing between all supernatural beings?

And I'm still thinking about whether Rowan will have a love interest or not. Maybe somewhere in the middle of the story she'll find someone? And when all is well, they'll make babies.
