“Magic lives in the very fabric of nature. And here in our circle of stone, it's magnified. The Vessel tests your ability to channel that magic. Later, you may learn to connect with other elements, but your first year is all about the element you were born with. Alfea’s graduates have ruled realms and led armies. They’ve forged powerful relics and rediscovered long-lost magic. They shaped the Otherworld. If you succeed here, you will too. My name is Headmistress Dowling. Welcome to Alfea.”

Alfea is the most prestigious Otherworld school for learning fairy magic or training to become a specialist. It's your first year, and you don't know what to expect. But soon, the Otherworld will be in danger. Let's hope you've learned your magic by then…

Based on the Netflix series Fate: The Winx Saga which is based off of the Winx Club series. You don't have to have seen the show, but it would help. The rp is loosely going to follow the plot of the actual show. If not, don't worry, you can still definitely join! I will be using Farah Dowling, the Headmistress of Alfea, as my main character. I’ll also use the other teachers (Saul Silva and Benjamin Harvey), and a student (Beatrix) interchangeablely.

When you are making your character and if they are a fairy, please use this link for reference please! Everyone is going to be a first year, so limit their basic magic accordingly. No OP fairies who just discovered their magic.

!!PLEASE ASK TO JOIN!! There is a writing sample requirement for this rp unless I already know/rp with you. I want this one to last, so please be active! Looking for moderate response length too. You don’t have to write a book, but at least a solid paragraph or two at a time would be nice.

(Yes, of course!)

He could feel the cold fingers of death wrapping around his neck, eager to choke the life from his lungs, hungry enough to steal the breath from his lips, calm enough to wait as he tried his hardest to fight the feeling of drowning… and oh how he drowned. Every breath was a battle, and it was a battle he was losing. He could not tell where he was. All he had was the sensation that he was floating. Floating deeper into the abyss that wrapped her welcoming arms around him. It felt like velvet, cocooning him. Lulling him to sleep. Perhaps he should stop fighting, let the current take him. Rest… rest for once. It was so comfortable to let go, so comfortable to just curl up and let the abyss take him. How soothing of a thought that was to him.

Just stop fighting. Let us take you away from all your troubles. A voice seemed to whisper. It was as soothing as a lullaby. He could feel his eyes fluttering shut and the embrace of death curling closer, wrapping him up in those velvet blankets, easing his mind.

But that was when the screaming started. Someone was screaming his name… begging him to return.

He did not want to.

But this voice sounded familiar… so familiar in the haze of rest. Of the possibility of sleep. Eternal rest… What an alluring thought. What a beautiful thought. But the world around him jostled… trembled. Something was not right- something did not settle well with him. Something was pulling at him, tugging him away from the velvet cocoon. Restoring the breath to his lungs, ripping the icy fingers from his throat. Warmth curled around his body, and light brought him forward.

Air filled his lungs sharply, causing him to cough and gag. Light blinded him, making him blink repeatedly before his body was slammed to the ground and arms wrapped around him. Despite being completely out of it, his first instinct was to hug the person clinging to him, though it was awkward and he was still having a hard time processing things. His senses came back to him slowly. First touch, then the sense of smell… oh gods the smell was enough to make him want to cough again. It was a strong smell, one of blood and death. Then the taste- metallic… salty- blood. His blood he realized. There was a ringing in his ears, but it settled down enough to allow him his sense of hearing once again. The person he was holding was crying. He had to do something about it- so his hand, limp and barely strong enough to move, settled on the top of their head. And finally, his sense of sight returned.

He was on a battlefield. Surrounded by the dead. Two women sat in front of him, and the person in his arms clung to him tightly. A young man, about his age.

The first word left his lips. "Luca…?"

Name: Aravos Delphinium
Age: 19
Gender: Male, He/Him/His
Year: 1
Fairy Type: Water
Appearance: Aravos has stunning blue eyes that seem to pierce whatever or whomever he gazes at. He has sunkissed skin that's covered in freckles, and a fair few blemishes. There's a noticeable scar on his left brow that is about half an inch long, and another on his right bottom lip. His hair is black, shaved on both sides, but long in the middle. It reaches to his thighs, and is usually kept in a braid. He's tall, about 6'1, and fairly built with broad shoulders, muscle, and powerful legs. He has many piercings, about 7 on his right ear, 6 on his left, both nostrils pierced with a chain running across his nose, a tongue piercing, and spider bite piercings on the left of his bottom lip. He has an amazing sense of style, and tends to wear things that compliment him and make him feel confident, as well as the occasional eyeliner and mascara.
Personality: While appearing intimidating, Aravos is a complete softie with a big heart. Think a golden retriever with the build of a doberman. He's friendly with people, overprotective of those he cares about, and loyal to a fault. He's outspoken and loud, making sure that he's heard, and will speak up for others if their voice isn't being heard. He believes in balance, and can be incredibly calm in tense situations. He's a fast thinker, goes with the flow, and has no sense of danger.
Abilities: Well versed in different types of combat and martial arts, can sense peoples emotions and adapt to them, quick witted and funny, can ease a crowd, and has just random tidbits of knowledge.
Fairy:

• Channeling: Just like every one else, his emotions influence how strong his magic is.
• Eye color: when using his abilities, instead of his electric blue eyes, they go to a silverish blue.
• Manipulation of Water, can manipulate water to his will, the large the body of water, the harder it is for him. He can use the air around him to "create" water. (It's really just pulling water molecules out of the air).
• Ice and Gas, can manipulate the temperature of the water (not until much later, once he's developed his abilities further.)
• Storms (not until much later, development.)
  (I wasn't sure if we were supposed to include magical, so I just put general)
  Strengths: Loyal, kind, great listener, can deescalate situations quickly and effectively, strong, knows how to defend himself, incredibly focused when he needs to be.
  Weaknesses: No sense of danger, loyal to a fault, doesn't talk about his own issues, tends to place barriers up when it comes to other people, talks a lot but doesn't… talk? Like, he talks a lot but it's not in a way that reveals much about him.
  Flaws: So, so many flaws. An over thinker, an overachiever to the point it causes burn out, hides who he is from people, self sabotage, the list could go on.
  Other:
• Aravos LOVES cats, absolutely adores them and will take in, feed, and care for local cats.
• Big classical lover, and plays cello
• Plays 4 instruments actually! Cello, Harp, Guitar, and Flute.
• Speaks a fair few languages. Korean, Italian, Swedish, Mandarin Chinese, and can Sign fluently.
• Writes in his free time, but would rather die before revealing what he writes about.
• Loves dancing, but rarely does so.
