-I n t r o d u c t i o n - The city of Vezuvia: formed over 200 years ago by three sorcerers. Not much is known about them, they are long forgotten by the modern people of Vezuvia. Here, travelers and explorers come in search of the city's majestic atmosphere and beauty. Merchants come to the center of the city to trade with other merchants and citizens. But most importantly, sorcerers call this city home. Vezuvia has many beauties, as well as many secrets. Beware of what lurks in the night, and trust no one. - R u l e s -

I will permit characters to be lesbian, gay, and bisexual, but I do not wish to include queer/trans/non-binary in this RP. I have nothing against them, I just wish there be two genders in this. Keep in mind, LGBT is not the main focus. Mild swearing only. You may not use any swear/cuss words that are not permitted by the forums. Anything you are allowed to say is fair. Mild romance and gore only. Please no detached limbs, spilling organs, or anything beyond kissing and cuddling. If you'd like to do something that you are not allowed to on here, please move it to PM or black out. What I say goes. Please be aware that the forums are supposed to be a safe place. If anything is said or done that threatens to make someone uncomfortable, I will give you a warning. If I have to warn you more than two times, you will be removed from the RP.
- I n f o r m a t i o n & T r a d i t i o n s -
-Setting- Since this is a fantasy RP, it will not take place in modern times or anywhere on Earth. There is no technology or electricity, so all light comes from fire or magic.
-Familiarizing- Sorcerers may perform a ceremony with an animal they have a close bond with called Familiarization. In this ritual, the animal and sorcerer must both willingly participate. Once the ritual is complete, the creature and sorcerer will be able to speak telepathically and may be joined in thought. The creature will no longer simply be an animal, but a familiar. If a sorcerer forces this ritual upon a creature, they not only will have complete control over the animal but it may cause the sorcerer to lose their sanity. This is considered corrupt and evil.
-Apprenticeship- Sorcerers may take on apprentices, which they will teach and nourish. Sometimes, if an apprentice and mentor are extremely close, they may be able to communicate through thought and sense each other's emotions. There is no ritual to become an apprentice, a sorcerer will simply accept another or a non-practicer to teach.
-Interaction Between Non-Practicers and Sorcerers- There is no hatred towards sorcerers, unless a character or group of characters specifically choose to loathe them. Common folk and sorcerers interact normally, but common folk usually get excited or honored to be in the company of one. There are many sorcerers in the town, but not all are as powerful as some. Sorcerers are sometimes referred to as wizards/witches or magicians.
-Questions from Members- (will add when questions asked)
- C h a r a c t e r s - Royalty/Leadership of Vezuvia:
Count Auran (aw-run) | โขMึ
ึ
ีฒึlแแซฮตโฃ ~Male, heterosexual, had a wife who died in fire (single) ~28 ~No living family, killed by fire of palace 11 years ago ~Often mysterious man, disappearing off to go on a few day long journeys every once in a while. He keeps everyone at arm's length, and doesn't share secrets. Very rarely visits the town. ~Knows simple spells and wards, but has not studied sorcery and therefore is not a true sorcerer.
Known Sorcerers & Sorceresses of Vezuvia:
Idreis (ih-dray-iss) | โขMึ
ึ
ีฒึlแแซฮตโฃ ~Male, heterosexual, single ~23 ~No known family, grew up on streets with Ezra. Mentor of Lorelei. ~Secretive and clever. He is quit laid-back, but extremely closed off and refuses to get close to anyone. Idreis tends to push others away, and is unforgiving to himself. He doesn't like cryptic messages, yet often gives them himself.
Lorelei (lore-ell-ai) | โขMึ
ึ
ีฒึlแแซฮตโฃ ~Female, heterosexual, single ~19 ~Had an older brother who died in battle. Apprentice of Idreis. ~Passionate, but headstrong and stubborn. She is outspoken and will not give in until she succeeds, even if it means injury or pain. Introverted, but caring to her close friends. Able to approach others but prefers not to unless curious.
Ezra (ehz-ruh) โขMึ
ึ
ีฒึlแแซฮตโฃ ~Male, heterosexual, single ~21 ~No known family, grew up on streets with Idreis. ~Mysterious and calm, often hard to fluster. He is intelligent and sly, as well as flirtatious, but sensitive. Will hold a grudge, but quick to apologize when he's the one who has done something wrong.
Opal Adley | Jadedsoul ~Female, heterosexual, single. ~22 ~Her only sibling is Fabian, parents long deceased. Many are under the impression she's her brother's apprentice, but Opal is in fact a full-fledged sorceress. ~Opal is a woman of very few words, to the extent acquaintances have been known to suspect she's mute, as the grapevine goes. She knows of those who deem her meek, those who deem her creepy and so on due to her silent nature and smaller stature. It's easy for Opal to slip into places unnoticed, and that ability doesn't always go unnoticed. Yet she and her brother both keep to themselves and gossips remain gossip. One thing is for sure though, Opal adores her bother and after losing her parents years ago, there is no one she's closer to.
Fabian Adley | Jadedsoul ~Male, heterosexual, single. ~25 ~His only sibling is Opal, parents long deceased. ~Though nowhere near as quiet as his little sister, Fabian too, tends to lean more towards the silent and carefully spoken type. Anyone who knows him, knows of how protective and parent-like he is towards Opal, and having lost his parents at a young age he felt the need to step into the guardian role in spite of being only three years older. As a result, Fabaian matured much faster than usual and it shows in how he presents himself: careful, considerate and typically without a hair out of place.
Citizens and Non-Praticers of Vezuvia:
Kaius (k-ie-uss) | โขMึ
ึ
ีฒึlแแซฮตโฃ ~Male, heterosexual, single ~17 ~Brother of Asa, parents not living ~Playful and energetic, oftentimes out running errands. He is easily trusting of others, but sometimes this becomes an issue and he can get hurt. Extremely protective of Asa and unforgiving to those who have done him wrong or lost his trust.
Asa (ay-suh) | โขMึ
ึ
ีฒึlแแซฮตโฃ ~Female, heterosexual, single ~15 ~Sister of Kaius, parents not living ~Extremely shy and introverted, always standing behind her brother and not venturing very far from their home. She wishes to have someone to talk to, but is unfortunately unable to approach anyone with ease or be open to them. - L o c a t i o n s -Palace of Vezuvia- Home of Count Auran and his army/servants. A large, beautiful castle with a marble bridge at the entrance which crosses over a moat. Has a large, adorned iron gate surrounding the entrance, as well as a garden and a hedge maze behind it. Town Square- The center of the city, where many taverns and shops within homes and huts are. Market- Next to the town square, where merchants set up carts and stands to sell and trade. Riverside- The bank of the large Sapphire River of Vezuvia. Shadowreach Cave- A large cave known only to sorcerers. The inside walls are lined with vines, seals and carvings from sorcerers, and glowing plants. In the middle, there is a large cavern with a hole in the ceiling where the moon perfectly lines up at midnight as well as a small pond with glowing water. Sacred to sorcerers and full of magic. Idreis and Lorelei's Shop/House- The stone hut in which Idreis and his apprentice live in. They sell trinkets/charms, tell fortunes with their tarot cards, and cure common issues such as stress and exhaustion. Kaius and Asa's House- Home of Kauis and Asa, located nearby the town square.

Ezra | Market | Starter Ezra had just recently visited Idreis and his apprentice, purely for the sake of seeing them again. He'd grown up with Idreis, and since he was alone all the time his friend made for good company. Strolling through the market casually and glancing at different stands, he took a long breath. "Home sweet home," he thought aloud nonchalantly, a grin on his face. I wonder if Hyzen is here with those apples this weekend...
Idreis & Lorelei | Idreis & Lorelei's House | Starter The man looked over his shoulder to see his apprentice waiting expectantly at the round table, her fingers tapping against the wood impatiently. Grinning as she rolled her eyes, he went back to stirring the pot over the fireplace. "It's almost done, Lei. What have I taught you?" teased the mentor, his eyes bright with amusement.
Lorelei rolled her eyes. "Patience is of virtue, yeah yeah. But that doesn't apply to this- we need the murkroot to get Rana better Master. We need her," she sighed, her eyes softening. "She's getting sicker." The apprentice looked over at Idreis' familiar, a small deer curled up in a pile of blankets. Its breathing was shallow, raspy. Not normal.
Idreis nodded understandingly. He set the ladle down for a moment, and walked over to the table to join his apprentice. "I know Lorelei. I understand more than anyone how important this is, okay?" he sighed, then leaned forward and placed his hands firmly on her arms before rubbing them softly. "We'll get it, Rana will be alright. Why don't you go to the market and see if they have murkroot there?" he suggested, pulling the girl into a loose hug.
She nodded slowly, then frowned. "Okay. Don't hesitate to send for me if she gets worse..." mumbled Lorelei as she returned the hug. "I'll be back soon." Quickly, she pulled away and walked to the door with purpose. For a moment her hand lingered on the handle, but she quickly shrugged off the feeling of guilt and pushed the door open. Sunlight filtered into the house, and she left quickly to head down to the market. I'll be quick, Master.
Kaius & Asa | Town Square | Starter Kaius examined Asa carefully, glancing her over. "You're sure you'll be alright? I know how you get around strangers..." he sighed finally, a frown on his face. He felt guilty for leaving his little sister to run a few errands while he was away.
Asa nodded with a gentle, reassuring smile. "I told you, I'll be fine Kai. Just go, okay?" she stated softly, pulling him into a tight hug. "And don't come back because you're homesick. I know you don't get that way."
He chuckled softly, hugging her back before pulling away and holding her hands in his. "Alright, but I'll be back by tomorrow. Love you, Asa," told the young man to Asa warmly.
She quickly nodded once again. "Okay. Love you too, now go!" she pushed him gently with a playful manner, grinning. He quickly obliged, then waved and began to disappear into a swarm of people. Asa sighed in relief and turned to go down to the market, her brother's messily written list in hand.

(Forgive me if this is common knowledge, but how does one become a sorcerers or sorceresses apprentice? Or have the capability to be an apprentice? Are they born into it?)

{Ah, I was going to include that into information but completely forgot about it. There really aren't any requirements or differences aside from how powerful a sorcerer/sorceress is able to become. If normal human wishes to practice magic, it's difficult to learn at first- however, magic is usually hard to learn for every character. Although, if someone is born to magic-practicing magic will most likely come easier to them and they may be slightly more powerful than one who's just picked it up. It doesn't really have anything to do with bloodline.}
{Edit: As for the apprentice part, there really isn't any ritual or requirements. It could be completely random or the two could know each other well.}

(Heyo! Sorry my post took so long. I kept getting interrupted than being forced to restart at a different time lol the adult life.)
"O?" Fabian glanced over at the young woman tugging lightly at the edge of his left sleeve, peering around the coat hood shadowing his sister's face to meet her eyes. "Are you ready to go than?" Opal had burrowed even further into her plush attire in attempts to avoid his searching gaze, and though at the sound of her beloved nickname tension visibly eased from her body, Fabian still noted the clammy pallor of her skin and increased widening of her eyes. All signs she'd had enough for the day. "Right than, let's head home." Fabian spoke decidedly, not requiring a response at this point, he knew her all to well.
Opal was too exhausted to protest, an entire morning and afternoon spent at the market would be, at the very least, tiring for anyone. But our dear Opal here becomes on edge when surrounded by crowds for an extended amount of time, and over 5 hours she determined, was an extended amount. She'd originally returned to Fabian's side to show him some more fresh herbs, she should have known he'd take one look at her and insist they leave. Opal sighed inwardly but followed her brother through the crowded streets all the same, arms heavy with an assortment of things stuffed in bags ranging from fresh produce to herbs. Fabian pushed on in-front of her, creating a path for both of them with his burden of twice the amount of purchased goods.

Lorelei | JadedsoulLorelei had dropped off the murkroot, but when the apprentice returned to Idreis he shooed her out. 'Go relax, I can handle Rana on my own. It'll be alright,' he had convinced her. However, as she was strolling along, she noticed two faces she'd never seen before. It was strange, she'd met nearly the entirety of Vezuvia...yet she recalled no encounter with the two. Tilting her head as a moment of self-debate took place, Lorelei cautiously approached- her mind sharp in case she'd needed something to protect herself with. "Excuse me," she spoke quietly, though strong enough for the pair to understand them. "I don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting. You're aura is magnificent-" she added, looking the woman over with a polite smile.
