Right so for my idea about the Witches and their dynamic…
The human stumbles upon a small group of 2 or 3 witches, as they travel together for more safety in these times. However, this group seems like an outcast group more than anything, but they are still accepted by other witches for their craft. The Witches Association is most like a matriarchal society, where women hold more power and are respected. There are male witches, but they can never really hold a high place of power unless the High Witches grant him an exception, which is very rare and requires the Male witch to prove himself through a series of Trials that he can back out of at any point. Most Witches have darker skin complexions, due to their specific connection with magic. A pale/purely white Witch is regarded as having a weaker magic and are thrown into a career such as stitching clothes or caring for the animals.

  • Witch #1 is physically impaired in some way that makes moving difficult (amputated leg, blind, limp chronic pain, etc.). She is a very clever and sly genius, but still maintains compassion even in her intelligence. Her magic deals with the minds of others. She puts off a vibe that she can be physically controlled very easily, but one would never be able to break her mind. She is usually the brains of their whole group, but she still likes to include the other witches in her decision making.
  • Witch #2 has molded herself into the perfect vessel for her power by being tall, fit, and generally just strong. She has been looking after Witch #1 ever since they were kids, and made herself strong to make sure Witch #1 never feels like she is a burden because of her impairment. More stone-cold and closed off to others and still smart enough to follow the other witches trains of thought, at least most of the time. Her magic deals with overriding control of whatever object she touches (ex. Touches an enemy weapon, now that weapon goes to her and stays by her side until it breaks or she deactivates her power at that time. Kinda like specific telekinesis). She gives off a very intimidating and sarcastic vibe. Not much into giving or showing emotions. Most likely a closeted bisexual bean who's fallen for Witch #1, but knows how to keep it on the down low.
  • Witch #3 is a trans guy who is a newer addition to the other two, but was able to catch on to the dynamic really quickly. He has fully gone through his physical transformation and name change, though some still try to address him with his dead name. The other two witches in the group support him. He is a genuine softie who could murder someone if they hurt his newfound friends. He likes to call his magic "Chameleon", as his magic changes his outward appearance to look like someone or something else. He does have an enchanted weapon, a bow that never breaks, and is quite skilled at weilding it.

With white skin and blue tinted blush,right?

Pretty much yeah, hes a Fae and not a witch…

@CopperQueen

Also, maybe the witches have darker complexion because magic (Especially northen magic) makes your skin lighter and the lack thereof is letting the witchees stay darkskinned

That makes way more sense than my magic connection bullshittery lmao. So yes!

Adding on, so we have the Northern pale and blue Fae. We have the darker (mid-southern?) Witches. Humans to the east perhaps? And who's to the west?

@RedTheLoveless

Should we try and put the charachters in notebook?
If so what do we name the universe?

The only problem would be sharing information with everyone to stay on task. Of course we can share via links, but editing would be solely up to that person (for everything besides universes at least). We could use google docs, if everyone is alright with that. And if not, then maybe we can make a conjoined account on Notebook, sharing the account information in PMs so everyone who wants to can access and edit here in Notebook.

@The-N-U-T-Cracker

I have absolutely no writing skills so I'm just going to kinda watch over this project and maybe correct some spelling errors or give advice or maybe design a character or two I dunno I just really want to help with this even if it's something small

@CopperQueen

You could tell your email and we could add everyone as contributors to the universe and then I think it works fine to edit other people's stuff in a universe you're contributing?
Google docs is also an option because its' free and I assume you all have google.
And I still believe keeping this thread as the information spreading and chatting tool is fine.

@RedTheLoveless

I have 3 emails, one business, one personal, and one recreational. My business email is the only one with my very personal information, so I'll be using my recreational one if we do use google docs. Also, it's not that hard to create another google account. The only trouble would be remembering passwords and such (which can be written down).

The only problem with sharing on here is I think the Notebook.ai's system only allows contributors for Universes, nothing else. I'm not sure if @andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) updated the system to include Characters, Items, and Locations.

The solution to that problem would probably be to make a new Notebook.ai account with a new email, and share that email and the password through PMs so everyone can access the same account and information.

Cool
What would the pasword be?
It ahould be something simple and easy to remeber.

@RedTheLoveless

(Lex I fixed my email so now I can have a profile pic lmao yay!)

Yeah, the password is gonna be rather simple but not enough so that we could get hacked. The hard part is gonna be PM-ing everyone the information and not leaving anyone else.

@RedTheLoveless

Okay so, so far we have me, Lex, Copper, Bats, and Nutella with the account info. If anyone else wants to join, just ask and one of us will send the info to you in PMs.

@CopperQueen

Yes.
ALTHOUGH we should continue to speak on this thread until we have something else so we can see who is who because the shared account will apear to be one person and chatting like that is annoying to say the least

@RedTheLoveless

Yes.

Oh yeah definitely. It'll get confusing rather quickly if we start chatting using the Group account. I'll just follow this chat with the account so we can stay updated.
