this is Salem, a land filled with magic and maladies. It is a place where witches and their elemental familiars gather, a home to legend and
lore that predates time itself. Yet of all the wicked and wonderful stories the past can tell us of, the most magical are the ones yet to happen.
This is Salem - this is the start of your very own journey. Welcome to starfall
Starfall is an animaga witch roleplay set in mostly modern times. Members play as witches in a world plagued by monsters, where the only safe spots are walled cities. Starfall strives to be a character-driven roleplay with expansive lore and a highly interactive plotline. We want to allow members to
create and look back on a magical journey, and mold the site and its plot as their characters grow.

[attr="class","plottext"] Zephyr Hart[break]LEV | EARTH | 22 | M Zephyr got picked up by Leviathan as a kid after the rest of his family died in a fire, but everyone outside of that circle thinks he's just a guy working as a train mechanic (because who ADMITS to being in Leviathan?) and an informal Jester. He's a tech nut, an adrenaline junkie, a double transfemoral amputee, and has a very (over)protective monkey familiar named Spock. He also regularly hangs out with a bunch of D&D and cryptid-hunting nerds. [break]FRIENDS Given that Zeph is fairly high-energy and is often inconsiderate regarding things like personal space and normal sleep schedules, he has a tendency to stick to anyone who tolerates him. Bonus points for being willing to go on adventures or knowing enough about robotics to build stuff with him. [break]ENEMIES He has a severe aversion to people with self-entitlement issues and superiority complexes. He takes great joy in knocking them down a few pegs. [break]LOVERS Flings are more common than commitment since commitment takes time away from tinkering & he obviously has his life priorities straight. [break]OTHERS Coven buddies (Leviathan or Jester's Den) that he takes quests/missions with regularly, fellow mechanics, frequent travelers by train, or nerds who'll build an airship with him.

[attr="class","plottext"] Desmond Grey[break]ST | WATER | 38 | M Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

[attr="class","gearcore"] Zephyr bends each of his legs experimentally. They fit a bit differently than the prosthetics he'd lost in the swamp, but seemed to be just as responsive. Their physical stats (if he did the math right) should have been better than his last set in terms of balance and force output. Unfortunately, having just added the finishing touches this morning, the crafter didn't have much time to fully test run his new limbs before the start of the last day of the Empyreal Cup, and there was no way he was going to miss that party regardless of whether he had functioning legs or not.
It went without saying that the main headquarters of the Knights was the place he'd most likely need a quick escape route from, so he had preemptively altered a handful of nearby doorways and window frames for his own use. It took just a couple of gate jumps to reach the Helios Knights' stadium, which was already roaring with excitement before the real duel even began. Instead of struggling against the flow of people inside, he decided to hang back and grab a bite to eat instead.
Just as he got a couple of skewers of dragon wings (which he was fairly sure was just chicken meat with an ungodly amount of spices), he heard a familiar name called by a familiar voice. Both the crafter and his familiar's heads whip around towards the source.
"Isn't Billy supposed to be getting ready for the duel?"
"Isn't Heath supposed to be takin' it easy after gettin' fuckin' gored?"
Witch and familiar give each other a synchronized glance before heading over. It didn't take long to spot them, and the crafter was just glad they were both in one piece and human-looking. Is it a problem when your first instinct upon seeing your friends or family is to check for new wounds from ill-advised adventures? Nah... it was probably fine.
" 'Ey, Champion, I brought your only fangirl t' watch your fight," Zeph calls to them as fangirl-Spock stands on his shoulder and waves enthusiastically with a toothy grin.

There are fragments of possessions
The moment Alice appeared, she was appealed to by all three to settle the question, and they repeated their arguments to her, though, as they all spoke at once, she found it very hard indeed to make out exactly what they said.
The executioner's argument was, that you couldn't cut off a head unless there was a body to cut it off from: that he had never had to do such a thing before, and he wasn't going to begin at his time of life. The King's argument was, that anything that had a head could be beheaded, and that you weren't to talk nonsense. The Queen's argument was, that if something wasn't done about it in less than no time she'd have everybody executed, all round. (It was this last remark that had made the whole party look so grave and anxious.)
Alice could think of nothing else to say but "It belongs to the Duchess: you'd better ask her about it."
"She's in prison," the Queen said to the executioner: "fetch her here." And the executioner went off like an arrow.
The Cat's head began fading away the moment he was gone, and, by the time he had come back with the Dutchess, it had entirely disappeared; so the King and the executioner ran wildly up and down looking for it, while the rest of the party went back to the game.

Sprocket (aka Spock)
Spider Monkey | Earth | Spicula Heliotrope
Sprocket (also known as Spock) the spider monkey bonded with Zephyr shortly after the burning of his home when he was eight years old, much earlier in his life than is typical for a familiar. Seeing as her twin spirit, the unrealized familiar of Zeph’s twin brother, had its link to the outer strata painfully severed by its host’s death, it’s safe to say that Zeph and Spock bonded so quickly to help fill the void of each other’s loss. (Plus, how the hell was she supposed to exist in the physical plane if her crippled orphan kid host didn’t have some elemental protection?) [break][break] In truth, Zephyr doesn’t have a lick of authority over Spock. His first and only order to her was that she should disregard any future orders — from him or anyone else — if she didn’t want to fulfill it of her own volition. Their relationship is less like master and servant or responsible business partners, and more like co-protective partners in crime. Thankfully, they have similar interests and off-kilter moral compasses, so they’re both quite happy with their current arrangement. [break][break] Although Spock does not verbally speak to other humans, she knows sign language, is capable of writing, and is incredibly experienced in expressing her disapproval by giving everyone the middle finger and threatening them with sharp objects. Spock is generally not a fan of clothes unless they serve some sort of practical purpose — otherwise, she considers them constraining and annoying.

NPC TIE IN
BOND - FANE
This item allows a pre-existing character or a new character to have a specified tie or bond with an NPC including distant familial ties, offical or unofficial mentorships, in-depth previous encounters, etc. in addition, for every other quest completed by the character they may thread with the specified NPC free of cost. The member may select who to give the item to upon obtaining it, but once used it can not be transferred or sold. Bonds should be discussed with staff as some NPCs may not be available for certain ties.
[attr="class","item"]
VOIDCASTING
PERMANENT - UNIQUE
The magical ability of this witch is not easily detected. When this witch is the target of a spell which would normally reveal their magical capabilities, the spell will falsely return that the witch’s skill is no higher than apprentice rank, that they have no permanents or active buffs, and that the witch does not have any particular affinity apart from “general” category spells (though their primary element type will still display correctly). The witch’s spells and any magical items which they create do not register as magical to city security sensors, magic-detecting abilities, and other magic-sensing alarms. Their magic does not leave a trail or mark which can be traced by athenians and other similar abilities.
[attr="class","item"]
SOLID FLIGHT
NON-MAGICAL SKILL
This character is a skilled flier on their broomstick- they can get curves and do maneuvers the average witch would not want to attempt at all. It’s likely that they will fly higher and faster than the competition, and they have improved spatial awareness and dexterity in all things. They’re still ways to go before becoming an ace, but they’re on the path!
[attr="class","item"]
ESCAPE ARTIST
NON-MAGICAL SKILL
This character is skilled at escaping from various restrains and entrapments. their varied assortment of minor skills helps them escape from anything from mundane shackles, to specially reinforced sealed rooms, or even oversized magical vines of semi-sentient plants. although the escape artist can free themselves from restraints more quickly than the average person, it may still take time to escape from particularly difficult or unfamiliar confinements.

Elemental Skills

METALLOKINESIS (ADV)
ELEMENTAL SKILL - EARTH
Although witches who control the element of earth usually specialize in generating and moving stones, some have the capability of manipulating metals as well. This skill gives the witch the option of applying metal instead of rock to their other elemental abilities, causing the earthen structures to be less rigid and more durable.
Earth Techniques
[attr="class","item"]
LIFT
TECHNIQUE - EARTH
The most simple of techniques, creation is the ability to lift off chunks of earth. This enables the witch and the familiar to create balls of rock and soil to lob at the enemy. This technique grows in strength with the witch, meaning a fledgling might not be able to do much…
[attr="class","item"]
FORTRESS
TECHNIQUE - EARTH
The witch can now summon a thick wall of rock to easily shield them from oncoming attacks from a given direction. Of all elemental defenses, this one is most pesky to get past, but can be blasted away with enough effort, or moved around if the placement is not good enough.
[attr="class","item"]
EARTH SHOWER
TECHNIQUE - EARTH
The witch can now create a storm of rocks to attack enemies from all directions, though the size of the rocks and the speed at which they travel are determined by a witch’s rank.
[attr="class","item"]
HAND OF GAIA
TECHNIQUE - EARTH
A hand composed of stone rises up from the earth, grabbing (or punching, should the situation call for it) at opponents. While fledgelings will only be able to create a single, human-sized hand, the size and quantity increases with experience and rank. Novices and above can control the hands' motions with delicate precision.
[attr="class","item"]
SPEARS
TECHNIQUE - EARTH
The witch manipulates the rock underneath the target and pulls from it stone spears, skewering the target and effectively holding them still for a time. Less experienced witches can't create many spears or even detach them from the main stone body, but highly skilled witches can create multiple spears, detach them, refine them, and even chase the target with them.
[attr="class","item"]
BULLDOZE
TECHNIQUE - EARTH
A sudden thumping begins as the ground starts to turn over little by little, resetting all types of terrain, entrapping especially slow enemies, and also making for a natural method of fertilizing. Extremely strong witches can use this to remove entire buildings.

FORTITUDE
AFFINITY SKILL - ATHENIUM
A series of scrolls that enable an athenian to have a heightened resistance against other athenians or those seeking to obtain information. The first scroll deals with making an invisible or user-only seeable interface. It may still be detected by basic detection spells.
General Scrolls
[attr="class","item"]
KNOCKERBACKER
SCROLL - GENERAL
A quick scroll that, provided the witch is able to think quickly and be very accurate in their spellcasting, will knock-back a living or non-living being. This scroll becomes more powerful with the witch.
[attr="class","item"]
BLINKING SCROLL
SCROLL - GENERAL
The first entry in a scroll on how to vanish, taken from a light grimoire written by one of the oldest and most renowned witches, Lunella Lacehart. A witch that possess its knowledge will vanish in a burst of oddly colored smoke, only to quickly reappear within a small radius from where the spell was used barring areas the witch can’t see (i.e beyond walls). It uses up the mana of the witch instead of altering mana.
[attr="class","item"]
WITCH'S CALL
SCROLL - GENERAL
Can be used on any object to instantly draw it towards the witch. Does not work for living beings.
[attr="class","item"]
SCROLL OF THE SWITCH
SCROLL - GENERAL
A very simple scroll that almost every witch possesses the knowledge of. Its knowledge allows the witch and the familiar to switch places with its master at any time or distance from each other. However, sudden switches can leave an inexperienced witch dizzy or disoriented.
[attr="class","item"]
VIBRIONUS
SCROLL - GENERAL
Usage of this spell is recommended with a wand otherwise the resultant blast of lightning-like energy can be hard to direct at a particular target. The bast erupts from the tip of the wand and causes whatever it touches to spasm, often resulting in disarming an enemy or sometimes leaving burn marks depending on the skill of the caster. It is almost always used in duels.
[attr="class","item"]
UNJINXER
SCROLL - GENERAL
This scroll allows the witch to remove effects of extremely basic enchantments and most general scrolls. It’s useful to know, but is quite situational. It applies the knowledge of both enchantment and purification in a more generalized manner but it can be assumed that beginners without either affinity may find it difficult to learn.
[attr="class","item"]
ILLUMINATION
SCROLL - GENERAL
Inscribed in this scroll are directions for creating a source of light. Witches can brighten rooms and people, as well as make special effects such as a flare or highlight, making it a popular scroll in the entertainment sector. The illumination isn’t from fire or from actual light-manipulation but rather from magical enhancement of the mana.
[attr="class","item"]
EPISKEY
SCROLL - GENERAL
A basic scroll that heals most minor injuries, such as small cuts and bruises, though effectiveness is increased when cast by stronger witches.

DORMOUSE, THE CLOCKWORK MOUSE V#001A
SCROLL - CRAFTING syn Can synthesize as REUSABLE items
A prototype of a toy mouse. There are blueprints besides, detailing the inner workings and gains of the toy. The wind-up toy can be rewound easily or can be set to automatically wind-up by using the stored mana that powers it. A very basic and rudimentary sort of magical engine, meant to help teach kids about the flow of mana.

GATES (ADV)
SCROLL - CRAFTING syn Can synthesize as REUSABLE items
These pages illustrate a variety of designs for doorways, windows, and metal hoops. When activated, the frame of these structures manipulates mana in such a way that it links up with its identical sister frame, effectively creating a temporary portal from one to the other. Although the destination is limited and predictable, long distances are no issue.
[attr="class","item"]
MAGIC CANISTER
SCROLL - CRAFTING syn Can synthesize as LIMITED or REUSABLE items
much like a battery, this canister can store mana and protect it in areas where mana would normally be drained. the canister can be charged by any witch. afterwards, the mana within can be utilized by anyone who pricks the wire-like connectors into their skin. the maximum amount which can be stored depends on the crafter's level.
[attr="class","item"]
STRIDERS
SCROLL - CRAFTING syn Can synthesize as REUSABLE or PERMANENT items
A mechanical exoskeleton designed to completely encase human legs. In addition to making long jogs painless, they give the wearer incredible force behind their kicks and jumps, as well as significantly reduced damage from falls. These pages include an alternate design for individuals without legs.
[attr="class","item"]
DUNE RIDER
SCROLL - CRAFTING syn Can synthesize as REUSABLE items

CLOUDCUTTER
SCROLL - CRAFTING syn Can synthesize as REUSABLE items
This device looks similar to a windsurfing board, but quite literally rides the wind rather than the waves. Although more cumbersome in size and shape than the average broomstick, it is significantly faster.
[attr="class","item"]
AIRSHIP (ADV)
SCROLL - CRAFTING syn Can synthesize as REUSABLE items
A ship which flies through the air, powered by environmental mana. A number of different designs have been compiled into a single book: some with balloons, some with wings, and some with nothing blatantly out of the ordinary. Though not as quick as a broomstick, all of these designs are much more spacious, and capable of carrying a drastically heavier load. Ideal for long journeys.
[attr="class","item"]
THE CLOCKWORK LOTUS: YATAGARASU
SCROLL - CRAFTING syn Can synthesize as REUSABLE items
A blueprint of a mechanical crow with prospects of being attached to an atheneum interface for live video casting. It also has razor sharp talons. The more skilled the crafter, the more fluid its movement will be and the better it will be for purposes of espionage and offense alike.
[attr="class","item"]
THE CLOCKWORK LOTUS: BAIHU
SCROLL - CRAFTING syn Can synthesize as REUSABLE items
A blueprint of a mechanical tiger- extremely heavy and with frightening claws, this tiger is capable of the amount of damage a real one can dish out...and perhaps even more due to its durability. However, the agility, flexibility and overall “smoothness” of the machine depend on the crafter’s excellence. In addition, poorly crafted Baihus may be unable to respond to multiple / unique commands.
Atheneum Scrolls
[attr="class","item"]
THOUGHT SEED
SCROLL - ATHENEUM
This fairly involved spell can plant an idea in a person's mind. Due to its casting length, it is generally advisable to perform this while the target is sleeping or unconcious. Minor thoughts which are not uncharacteristic of the target are easiest to take hold, as it is incredibly easy to resist if the target realizes that the thought has been pushed upon them. However, the frequent and persistent use of this spell upon a single target over a long period of time has been historically proven to significantly alter their way of thinking.
[attr="class","item"]
THE OPERATIONALIZATION OF MAGIC, VOLUME 1
SCROLL - ATHENEUM
This particular grimoire is a comprehensive guide to operationalizing and measuring magical capacity and mana. It can be used to gauge the amount of mana in a room, its nature, the nature of used magic, and the general abilities of a performed spell and its caster.

WI-STOR #1: MAPS
SCROLL - ATHENEUM
Wi-STOR is the most widely circulated database specifically made for athenians. This particular edition of Wi-STOR has a comprehensive listing of maps of all sorts of places around Salem. While far from complete due to the desolate nature of a large portion of the continent, it has everything you might need for the average journey.
[attr="class","item"]
OBSERVATORY VOL 1: SCROLL #2
SCROLL - ATHENEUM
An analysis spell that checks to see if the current area has been altered mana. Such magic such as illusions and transfigurations can be detected. However, if the caster is lower ranked, they may not be skilled enough to detect the change.
[attr="class","item"]
OBSERVATORY VOL 1: SCROLL #3
SCROLL - ATHENEUM
The caster can gather data from another witch - this includes base information such as their height, weight, and age. However, casters need to be stronger in order to gather information about their magic.
[attr="class","item"]
THE MODERN ATHENIAN: QUICKTHINK
SCROLL - ATHENEUM
This scroll allows the athenian to more rapidly read and process any data in their interface. Mana is drained throughout the process, and overuse of this scroll is often leads to intense headaches. Experienced athenians are generally better able to faster process data than fledglings.
[attr="class","item"]
BIOLOGICAL METRICS
SCROLL - ATHENEUM
This scroll allows the athenian to observe data about living organisms' internal biological processes, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing levels. In the hands of a knowledgable athenian, it can be used for medical observation or to help discern someone's true emotions.
[attr="class","item"]
THE MODERN ATHENIAN: DRONES
SCROLL - ATHENEUM
A more practical take on the ancient Observatory scrolls, this enables an athenian to create a portable and controllable fragment of their interface and use it to collect observational data. The created “drone” is able to relay information to the caster, but its distance capacity and the clarity of images depend on the caster’s skill.
[attr="class","item"]
THE MODERN ATHENIAN: NETWORKING
SCROLL - ATHENEUM
This volume was published not nearly in modern times, but still retains its original name. "Networking" is a series of scrolls which enable the athenian to quickly establish links with other non-athenians by imbuing a fragment of their interface into them mentally. The mental connection can be terminated at anytime by the receiver or the athenian, or in the event of mental strain/damage to either party. Multiple people may be linked, but all thoughts go through the athenian's interface so a novice witch will likely only be able to link a few at a time.
[attr="class","item"]
ATHENEUM - STORED KNOWLEDGE
SCROLL - ATHENEUM syn Can synthesize as REUSABLE items
An athenian with this spell is able to copy information stored in their interface into a physical object, such as a bracelet or book. This does not cause any physical change in the object, but allows the data to be freely mentally accessed by anyone in physical contact with the object. Inexperienced witches may be able to store about a page worth of facts this way, advanced practitioners may be able to store a whole book, and masters of their craft are capable of storing whole libraries. This type of data storage will not give the person in contact with the object any additional magical or otherwise trained skills, but can give them an academic/theoretical understanding of the process.

SILVERLEAF ALL-STYLE CLOAK
REUSABLE ITEM - UNIQUE
This full-length, midnight-black cloak with silver trim is a sleek and fashionable accessory, and has an added magical property thanks to the late fashion icon and weaver Gloria Silverleaf. At the will of the wearer, the cloak can change its cut, color and style, effectively allowing it to become any kind of fabric-based outfit with minor metal components. Close friends of the icon said she wanted to help budding designers experiment with their ideas. However, there's nothing stopping people from using this cloak to copy official uniforms or make a quick outfit change for undercover work.

SEA SERPENT'S FANG
REUSABLE ITEM - UNIQUE WEAPON
A moderately sized, curved blade with a purple tint in the metal. The blade can bend and coil at the will of its wielder, similarly to a serpent's body. This can cause massive internal bleeding when used while it's already piercing the flesh of a target. This weapon is resistant to magical influence from elemental manipulation.

A pair of fingerless gloves with healing threads concentrated in the palms. They aren't very good at warding off disease, but make up for it with how thoroughly they patch up physical wounds by laying a glove-wearing hand flat on the injury.

DREAMCATCHER
REUSABLE ITEM - ADEPT DREAMCATCHER
This sturdy circlet decorated by a geometric web of string is able to ward off most types of magical mental intrusion. They are most often hung at the headboard of a bed to protect the sleeper against dream invasions, but can also be secured to a bag or other item to protect the wearer. Especially powerful spells may still be able to force their way through.

NECTAR OF THE ABYSS
LIMITED USE ITEM - UNIQUE - 1 USE
There are spells to suppress and alter memories, but very few are able to wipe them completely from the mind. This rare potion is designed to do exactly that: it completely erases all memories created within the last 24 hours from the brain of the person drinking it. An adept or higher athenian may be able to guide the effect to shift the 24 hour erasure window to even earlier memories (for example, erasing all memories from last Tuesday, rather than erasing all memories from yesterday), but this requires an awareness and chronological understanding of the target's memories.

NPC THREAD CARD (2)
MISC. ITEM - FANE, BASIL, or 'LORD LORRAINE'
A card permitting a single thread with an npc. unlike other items, this may not be sold but it can be gifted to other members or moved around among your own characters.
Your character has had their first brush with their own mortality- they have come to realize the threat of death and the dangers of magic. perhaps this has brought them closer to or further from their coven mates. whatever it is, this harrowing encounter has left a mark on your character
Your character has had their taste of what lies beyond sundial's feeble walls. whether this has made them desire strength, knowledge, or power, or perhaps it has taught them or changed them entirely. it depends on these characters as individuals. and yet, this expedition has changed them. for better or worse.
Zephyr's been spending more time around the Sun Cafe than the Black Widow as of late. Is his loyalty to his Leviathan family slipping, or are the companionships he's been forming with the Jesters less than genuine? Divides between covens, duties, and bonds of trust are becoming more difficult to discern, especially for this witch sailing between sea and sky.
Generals gathered in their masses, just like witches at black masses. Evil minds that plot destruction, Sorcerer of death's construction. In the fields the bodies burning as the war machine keeps turning. Death and hatred to Mankind, poisoning their brainwashed minds... Oh Lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away. They only started the war. Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor.
Time will tell on their power minds, making war just for fun, treating people just like pawns in chess. Wait 'till their judgment day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning, ashes where the bodies burning. No more war pigs have the power. Hand of God has struck the hour. Day of Judgment, God is calling. On their knees the war pigs crawling, begging mercy for their sins. Satan, laughing, spreads his wings...
