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.

It was as beautiful a day as any other. The sun was out, the birds were singing, everyone in town seemed to be out in the streets. But that's because, for the most part they were, and those who were unable to go to Sundial Stadium for the main event gathered in festival-filled streets, in their homes with friends around TVs, or in other places with radios turned up to the maximum to hear the commentators and news covering the event. The closer one got to the colossus of a stadium, the louder the sounds of the pre-game show off of the competitor's cars filled the air, bringing with it magical displays and the smell of burning rubber and coursing engines.
Many people turned out to watch this final race between the heated competition. It was to be one for the ages, the first time in Grand Coven Prix history, that teams including cross-faction ones, have been allowed to compete in the race. Drivers, navigators, mechanics and...experts...worked on their rides, showing off their magical power and the strength of their engines down in the main area, awaiting the announcement horn that would alert all non-racers to leave the arena and make their way to their seats. While the racers mess with their cars and reporters, viewers loudly found their seats and prepared to watch, oogling at the cars, cheering for their favorites, and making bets on the outcome of the race.
Over the loudspeakers, radios, and televisions, the two head announcers took their seats and began the spectacle by which they displayed the race.
"LLLLLLADIIIIEEEESSS ANNND GENTLEMEN! I'm your host, Dex Masters! Joining me here, on this beautiful, sunny day here at Sundial Stadium is my long time friend, and today's color commentator, Boomstock!"
"I've gotta say, it's wonderful to be here Dex!"
"That it is, Boomstock, that it is. For those of you just now tuning in, today is the final race in the Fifth Annual Grand Coven Grand Prix, and what a journey it has been for these competitors. In a little while we'll go to Jackie Estacado for some interviews with today's finalists, but for now, a word from our sponsors..."
OOC: HERE ARE THE STARTING RULES:
You may either drive solo or in teams, it is entirely up to you. As more things get added for out of character i will post them like i did now at the end of an announcer's call. The announcers will go at random, and will announce important things that are happening in the race or that are coming up, usually it is when hazards occur or some such. Once you post with your team/solo as your self, you will be given a number (if you want you can choose a team name as well) This number will be posted with your name in this first post. At random intervals, when the announcer announces, These numbers will be thrown into a random number generator, and be put in a random order to show which cars are where on the race track. It will not always happen, but i feel it will add a fun bit of randomness to see who actually "wins". Please feel free to join in, and when you do, make a post saying what your character is doing, if they are merely watching, or if they are participating. I look forward to seeing any responses!
Participants:
Cassius Constantine/Aeliana D. N. Constantine - "The Right Hand" - Team 1
Post by Cassius Constantine on Jun 4, 2017 4:58:35 GMT
Cassius lay on the wheeled trolley beneath the car, sparks flying as he made last minute repairs to the armor welding connecting the steel body to the chassis of the car, wearing a simple, breathable black and gray pattern of pants and tanktop while he worked, his black jacket with the family crest sat on the nearby workbench. Aeliana stood at the front, working on making tuneups, and ensuring the nitro-enchantment was properly bonded to the engine block, sporting herself some yogapants and a tubetop, her smaller jacket tied by the arms around her waist. "So, you've run checks on all of the parts of the engine? The coolant script, the Nitro Enchanment, Drive mechanisms?" Cassius called to his step-sister from below the car.
"Yes Cass, I'm finishing up the Nos one right now in fact. How are the defensive systems coming along, since we are stating the obvious?" She called back, a huge amount of snark in her tone.
Cassius pushed himself out from under, lowering the car off of the shadow jacks he had created, and reforming the arm he would need later. "Defensive plating is all up. Weapons and utility systems are online too, so we should be good to go." He got up, sliding the dolley back under the toolbox, and removing the welding mask and gloves.
Aeliana snuck up behind and snuck her arms around his waist, whispering in his ear in a cutesy voice, "We could give it a test run if you want."
With a shudder, he quickly produced a hand between the two to shove her off and hold her at bay. "Remind me, why did i agree to this again?"
"Because Mom said it was the only way to repay your debt to the family, and I'm here to make sure you don't try to loose on purpose." She replied, pouting and sticking her tongue out at her stepbrother.
Cassius sighed, glancing off into the distance at the camera, hating the fact he was currently racing for the sole reason of gaining more money for the families front. He was so lost in his thoughts in fact, he hardly noticed the reporter come up from behind him with a camera man and a microphone.
"We are here now with one of the main contestant pairs, Cassius and Aeliana Artorias! So Cassius, what can you tell me about racing with your sister."
The lady shoved the microphone into his face, and, while startled, he figured he had better start talking. "It's always interesting working with your family, but you know we make it work."
"And what about the rumors of the scandalous relationship you have with your step-sister and driver Aeliana?"
He grit his teeth at that. She's been off spreading rumors again I see, He thought to himself before supressing them to answer the lady's question. "I would like to take this as an opportunity to dash any and all rumors about their being a relationship between us other than brother and siste-"
"CASS! HAVE YOU SEEN MY BRA AROUND HERE?"
His hand immediately flew up into his face, making an audible slap as his palm made contact with his face, and an audible groan escaped his lips. "Can we do this some other time, i feel its only going to get wors-"
There was an audible slip and crash and the sound of water spilling back from behind the car, the camera man and the interviewer lady craning to see what happened as Cassius' head sunk deeper, a second hand now joining the first on his face. "CASS~! WHERE's THE TOWEL? THE SOAPY WATER GOT ALL OVER ME!"
The camera man and the interviewer lady seemed quite interested at this sudden turn of events, but before they could make a step forward, Cassius' shadow arm shot up. "LEAVE." He said to them, who quickly obliged, turning back to their audience, but obviously disappointed they couldn't capture this turn of events, as Cassius walked off to fix this problem, and chew out his sister as the camera crew walked off to find the other contestants of the race.
