I assume that this letter has gotten to you safely, and I sincerely I hope that you are doing well, my friend. But I’m afraid we do not have any more time to waste. Let me explain why I have sent these letters to you and you only. There is only one favor I ask of you: destroy this completely after you are done reading.
Your faithful messenger, Ivor

About A corrupt Empire, a callous Emperor, and an ambitious leader of a nest of loyal thieves. Glass Eyes is a fantasy role-play revolving around six heroes. Or… Perhaps you'd like to refer them as anything else but heroes. After all, while they claim to fight for justice, they are thieves who must eliminate certain corrupt individuals within the capital upon rumour or request in the hopes of overturning the Emperor’s rule. Each and every individual in the group has a unique ability of their own, whether it be manipulating the wind or possessing an item with a single touch. With the execution of their former leader who was caught during a mission, Ezio, otherwise known as Ivor, was the last remaining member until he recruited six other talented ability-users aside from himself.
Rules The relationships that form between the characters and the way how they create a single group is essential, so please give the other role-player something to reply to. There is no specific post requirement, as I find that sometimes when there’s too much to type out it slows the role-play down, but it would be much appreciated if you could come up with something that continues the flow and doesn’t leave the other person hanging. No one-liners. We’re all busy, so activity isn’t a huge must here, but I do ask that you don’t suddenly disappear. Please be on at least twice a week. If you’re busy or you cannot be here for longer than a week, please contact me beforehand and I will understand. Follow the forum rules. It’s simple. No person or character can be good at singing and dancing and writing and cooking and fighting. That already sounds like a mary-sue. We know who they are, so please don’t create them. Give your character some flaws. Realism is not something that is too big of a problem here, but try to keep it somewhat realistic. No flowing rainbow hair as fun as that may sound. I am open to any ideas. If you have something that you would like to add on or suggest, please, please feel free to do so. I won’t bite, I promise. Just remember to tell them to me before moving on with something huge. If I haven’t frightened you away yet, thank you for reading this far. We’re all here to enjoy ourselves, so I hope that by joining this role-play, you’ll find something worthwhile.

The Cast
The Leader A member who survived the many years of persecution and used to serve the former leader directly until his execution. They handle the important decisions of the group and make sure that no one is straying off. They are in charge of recruiting new members into the group or even, as brutal as it may be, cutting off ties with certain individuals under particular circumstances.
The Dancer A member who is more skilled with the political aspects of the group, quick-witted and eloquent in writing. They are smart, polished, and beautiful. Their ability is not the most powerful, but their wit and tongue and multiple talents make them more than worthy of the group. They are known to be particularly close with the leader.
The Pillar Maybe being the Pillar doesn’t sound like an appealing job, but when there’s a problem or in need of emotional support, this is the individual most members will go to. With their personality and their wisdom, they’re the member the Leader will come to and ask for guidance from as well. They’re intelligent, smart and wise. They are also the most knowledgeable when it comes to maps and regions and escape routes. They are essential when the group moves around or decides to infiltrate a certain structure.
The Brawn This member is strong. They’re almost indestructible because of their strength. The brawn is more than suited and capable for hand-to-hand combat (alongside fighting using their ability) and is a significant part of the group for the damage they can cause. They are mostly in charge of any interrogations that occur.
The Healer Perhaps the role of a healer may not seem or sound important, but to a group fighting against an entire Empire, they’re an essential member. They’re one of the members the group must and will most likely protect for the value they hold.
The Shadow This member does a lot of the dirty work that’s required. They’re the master of assassination and thievery as well as breaking into certain places. They’re mostly in charge of bringing vital information for the group as well as picking up on any interesting or alarming news that must be known.

The Characters
[ The Leader ] Ezio Bencivenni : Ivor mysterious - jocund - placid Age: 32 ᴡᴏʟғ
Ability: Illusions. Ezio has the ability to control illusions, though this has its limits. The illusions he shows cannot go over ten seconds, and too much usage may cause him severe headaches and even hallucination.
[ The Dancer ] unclaimed
[ The Pillar ] Kiyoshi : Kiy {key} playful - sarcastic - compassionate Age: 24 jυιcyғrυιт
Ability: Manipulating the vibrational energy of reality. Kiyoshi has the ability to momentarily teleport to any place he desires without actually leaving the spot, giving him the chance to analyze the situation in his mind. The longer he uses this ability and the farther the distance, the more he is exhausted.
[ The Brawn ] Silas : Crow witty - irritable - smug Age: 36 ℜust ℜed ℜose
Ability: Silas excels at sword fighting and possesses extreme strength, which work well together. Other: Former pirate.
[ The Healer ]unclaimed
[ The Shadow ] Artemesia Eansey : Vane bold - reticent - captious Age: 28 вlue вlood
Ability: Teleportation; using this ability more frequently and/or for larger distances is more taxing on her energy levels. Overuse will cause exhaustion and the potential to teleport to some place in between rather than the intended destination. Items in her possession will teleport with her, but she cannot teleport other people with her.

The Hideout While the group does tend to move around frequently in fear of being found, they are currently taking residence in the house of one of the former leader's companions (who felt some duty to protect what is remaining of the rebellion). It's a large, yet modest wooden structure with many windows at the top and very few towards the lower floors. All six characters are living on the lower floors with their own separate rooms. There is an escape route that has been set for them through the basement, which will lead them to the outskirt of the capital through a dense forest.

[ The Pillar ] Kiyoshi : Kiy {key} playful - sarcastic - compassionate age: twenty four ability: manipulating the vibrational energy of reality [like Cisco on the Flash. He can think about somewhere, and in his mind he can enter and analyze the situation. ] @juicyfruit ( What do I put for ability? )

You can give Kiyoshi any ability you'd like ex. manipulating shadows, melting solid materials, enhanced agility, invisibility, etc. the only ability that I'd say are a little too overpowered are things such as mind control and gravity manipulation. aside from that, anything's good c: I should probably go back and clarify that ))

I already like the sound of this. It's gonna take me a bit to read it one letter at a time (it might be a mobile thing?), but I wanted to snag a spot because this is exactly the kind of RP I like joining. I will have a character in a bit, after I read through everything.
