A Single Element
Plot:Mages
They've existed amongst you since the universe began. They are the reason that you were born and the reason you will die. While they are few in numbers, they are far more powerful than any force mortals can muster. They are practically immortal, only able to die when the spell that keeps them alive is cancelled out. As such, not many of the original Mages still exist, but not many new Mages have followed them either. The war and destruction from over billions of years often being the result of the end of a Mage. And yet, they have remained undiscovered all this time.
So what changed?
They made a mistake.
Egyptian pyramids are known for their secret passageways. The Mages knew this as well. They helped build them after all. While many of them no longer use them, one of the few remaining originals, Enchanter, still utilizes his labs in the pyramids. It was on one day, while he was away from his labs, that an expedition funded by the American health company, Star Masses Health co., entered one of the labs by accident. They took everything. When Enchanter returned, he was frantic. The members of the expedition had taken all the samples from his lab: blood, tissue, and even equipment. While many might find this as nothing more than a minor robbery, it is important to remember that these samples were possessed by a Mage.
These were no ordinary samples.
The tests showed that.
Star Masses Health co. found something revolutionizing. The DNA contained in the samples was evolved light years ahead anything humans had ever dreamed of becoming. Upon infusion into lab subjects, the subjects evolved as well, both animal and human. Humans now had abilities, abilities that could control the elements, warp time, and even control the cycle of life and death. Mankind was changing. The Mages became fearful, as some found their own powers weakening. It seemed like things could only get worse. And then they did.
And then they did.
A traitor rose in their midst.
The Blocker, the weakest and strongest Mage, is mortal. The power of this Mage, unlike all others, is not flashy. A Blocker can go an entire life without knowing about the abilities within him or her. The Blocker cancels all magic that the Mages posses. The Blocker makes Mages mortal. The Blocker is the only being that can make the death of a Mage possible. Beyond their own magic, Blockers never see the true abilities of the Mages.
Or so it was thought.
But now that has changed.
The current Blocker witnessed the superhumans in person. Te Blocker knew what these abilities were. But, the Blocker did not care. Magic meant power. The Blocker had an idea. He went to Star Masses Health co., told them about the Mages, and created a plan.
He would reveal their existence.
He struck for Times Square.
During a live television interview for CNN, the Blocker spotted another Mage, Writer. He cancelled her magic. Her true appearance was revealed, her large black wings on display for all who were watching. She panicked and fled the scene. But, footage was caught of her flying away from the scene.
The Mages were now exposed.
The humans called for their extermination.
The Blocker is leading the humans.
Now, the Mages are forced to fight.
Which only leaves one question for you.
What is your side?
Rules:
-Pokemon Crossroads Rules
-Below is a list of the basic mages, but I'm more than willing to accept ideas for other ones, so feel free to ask
-Not too strict on roleplaying etiquette, but since this does has the potential to have a lot of characters, I think having a header with the character's name, their location, what Mage they are, and affected role players might be necessary.
-No god-modding, mini-modding, etc.
-No bunnying unless absolutely necessary
-No OP characters, but it is reasonable to assume that the older the character is, the more powerful they will be compared to newer characters
-PG-15, try to keep it in that area. Profanity is allowed but not encouraged. Gore can occur but nothing like innards spilling everywhere. Romance is allowed, but keep the explicit stuff out of the forum.
-Be nice to all role players!
-If you're going to do OOC chat, put it in double parenthesis above your header. I don't discourage it because some of the most fun I've had in roleplays was a direct result of OOC chat.
-Character limit? If you think there is one then you've obviously never heard my famous roleplaying stories that originate from my old years on PF1. But try to treat the characters with equal attention.
-I'd prefer it if everyone was active, but life can get in the way. I get that. So if you're going to disappear or something, try to let us know.
-Got a suggestion? Send it my way! I don't bite… hard.

Q&A:What is reincarnation and how does it work?
Well, the way it works is, whenever a Mage dies, they go to the Underworld as spirits, their bodies usually vanishing in ways that can be attributed to their elements, like fire Mages crumple to ashes and such. However, the powers that are the source of their elements remain behind. It usually is a ball of energy with a color corresponding to their element, but since very few living Mages have actually witnessed the reincarnation process themselves, and the Fate Mages won't tell, no one's really sure what it actually looks like.
Nevertheless, usually it is the job of the Fate Mage to deliver the powers of a dead Mage to the next Mage in line. However, the next Mage in line may not be alive at the time. Mages can go hundreds, even thousands, of years without being reincarnated. However, all the Fate Mage has to do is touch the powers to the next host and the person instantly becomes a Mage.
This is not the only way for a new Mage to receive their powers though. There are two other methods. The first one is by designation method. In this, a Mage sets up a sort of will, by drawing out and destroying a specific symbol that represents their powers, they can set up their successor, or the next individual to receive their powers. As soon as the Mage dies, the powers will transfer themselves on their own to the new host. This can be seen due to the symbol of the powers showing up in the new host's eyes for a few hours following the power transfer. While rare, this has happened in several cases across history.
The final method is the rarest and can only really occur with one type of Mage. Due to the fact that Fate Mages are usually the ones to transfer the powers between Mages, when a Fate Mage dies, there is no one to escort their powers. Thus, Fate Mages must always ensure they have a child before they die. While not difficult, due to the fact that they know exactly when they will die, it can be a bit of a hassle. This method requires no symbol and is also an automatic transfer. When the Fate Mage dies, the powers automatically move to the eldest child of the Fate Mage.

Name: Araxie Scripture
Age: 4015
Species (witch/wizard or human): witch
Element: writing
Appearance: http://i.imgur.com/vIlI9v2.png
Araxie is about 5’5 height-wise and 130 pounds weight-wise. She is very light on her feet, often skipping and moving on the balls of her feet when she does walk around. Araxie prefers to keep her golden hair in twin braids, but is not opposed to trying new styles. She does have a pair of black wings, but she can make them disappear at will, so it is rare for mortals to see her wings. Her usual style is boots and a dress, but Araxie loves to wear jeans, finding them very comfortable, so it is not uncommon to see her sporting a t-shirt with jeans either.
Image created by Yoh-An on DeviantArt and permission of use granted by them as well.What abilities does your character have:
-Araxie can make her wings disappear at will.
-Araxie can write a word in the air in any language (dead or alive) and summon whatever the word meant. However, this can only be done with one word at a time, it drains Araxie’s energy quite easily, and takes quite a deal of her concentration for her to keep hold and control of whatever she has summoned. As such, if she tires, loses concentration, or even attempts more than one word at a time, whatever she has summoned will vanish.
-Araxie can write commands onto pieces of paper, forcing whatever she writes to come true. As such, she tends to work with the current Time mage to make sure the flow of time does not go haywire. Araxie doesn't like to use this power very much though, as she's afraid it will cause more consequences than she intends.
-She can summon ravens at will to deliver and receive messages for her.
Personality:A generally optimistic character, you can always count on Araxie to lighten the mood of any moment. She hates it when those around her become depressed, and always does her best to cheer them up. Araxie loves to listen to music and will always listen to it when she wants to write her stories. Araxie spends most of her time writing, as its her favorite hobby. Araxie has written many book series under a variety of different pseudonyms, becoming a best seller on multiple occasions. Still, the fame never goes to her head. As long as there are people to enjoy her gifts, Araxie is happy. She's also a devout Catholic. No one's sure why, but, when asked, she explains it as, "St. Francis de Sales is my patron saint, and I cannot betray a man such as he."

Name: Arian Black
Age: original (has always existed)
Species (witch/wizard or human): wizard
Element: Enchanter
Appearance: Arian has long flowing silver hair, usually kept back into a ponytail that sinks to his shoulder blades. He is tall, about 6’5 and weights about 190 pounds. Arian is Caucasian, with skin somewhat pale due to his lack of spending time outside very much. Arian also has a collection of symbols and swirls tattooed in a ring around his neck. He refuses to tell anyone what they mean. Arian prefers long sleeved shirts and pants with boots, which results in visitors to his cabin often finding him in his worn hiking boots, brown trousers, and green button down shirt.
What abilities does your character have:-Is able to collect blood and tissue samples from Mages in their true forms without hurting the Mages
-Is able to infuse ordinary objects with these samples to give the items the abilities of the Mages
Ex. A fire staff can summon and control fire
Personality: Arian, or Enchanter as some call him, is a wise man. He is one of the few originals remaining in the universe and often scolds the other Mages for close calls with the humans. So when it was he that initially exposed the Mages, Enchanter didn't show his face for a little while. He usually goes around collecting samples from Mages, trading blood for any items he has on him. He takes special requests, but it'll cost more blood and tissue samples than any items he has with him.

Name: Jude Audrey
Age: 28
Species (witch/wizard or human): wizard
Element: Fate
Appearance:A short male, only about 5'2 and weighing in at 150 pounds, Jude tends to try and blend into the background. He is usually seen wearing blacks, whites, and grays, with camouflage not being uncommon either due to both his parents serving in the military. He is African-American and has a nice military cut hair style. Jude has a strong build, despite his size, as he is constantly seen training for the military. He has brown eyes and black hair, plus a tattoo of an hourglass on the backs of his hands.
What abilities does your character have:-Can jump to any time
-is in charge of keeping the time stream of this universe on course
-can alter history and remember the effects even after the time reset has occurred
-Automatic power transfer to child upon his death
Personality: Jude is mostly quiet. He doesn't like to talk and has been labeled by many as bashful. Jude is especially awkward around women. Despite having lived almost three decades, the entity of women still confuse him. It doesn't help that the person he has to work with to keep the time stream on course is also female. Nevertheless, Jude is a kind man at heart. Despite him being one of the newest Mages, Jude realizes his role is important and tries to do the best course of action that results in the least amount of people getting hurt. However, due to Jude rough childhood, he has no tolerance for abusive parents or bullies, and is shown to has a nasty temper around these characters.

What abilities does your character have:Due to her being super human, Elisabeth has two abilities that she can use:
-She can use her own blood and turn it into any weapon that she wishes
-She can somewhat control others through their own blood, but this is taxing and is usually reserved as a last resort
Personality:Elisabeth is a power hungry woman that just wishes to rule the world someday. As such, upon receiving a tissue transplant that gave her the power to practically control people, her ego and greed grew. She will stop at nothing to get what she wants and will destroy anyone that gets in her way.
