Co-Owned By DyingHere and OhhMyGeeABumbleBee
About:
Yes, it's long, but read it - it's worth it!
The year is 1682, and the country is England. Here, as is the same everywhere, the gentry like to hunt - pheasants, deer, rabbits, foxes and, oh yes, witches. Unfortunately, most of the men and women that are being convicted of witchcraft and executed on the same terms are innocent. You see, real witches are much better at not getting caught - most of the time.
Somewhere in the heart of England lies a small village in the centre of a large forest. It's just like any other village, except that all of the residents are witches. Concealed from prying eyes by a thick layer of spells, the witches have been safe from harm and free to practice their magick in the open for hundreds of years, but the new band of Witch Hunters sweeping across the country have even them glancing over their shoulders on occasion.
Within the village, the witches are split up into five very different covens. Until just over 150 years ago, all five lived side by side in harmony, not necessarily agreeing with the ways of the others, but accepting them. But then the Incendia coven slipped up, and the High Priestess of Tractus lost her life. In the confusion that followed, Incendia panicked and pinned the blame on Terra. A horrible war broke out.
Unda aligned themselves with Incendia, and Ventus with Terra, but Tractus, as a coven that had always remained on neutral ground, split in two and is now warring with itself as well as the other covens.
Now, as if the covens didn't have enough problems, the Witch Hunters have finally reached these parts and are investigating the village. Forced to hide their magick from the strangers while at the same time still secretly battling an incessant war, how long will it be before the Witch Hunters realise they've uncovered real power? And, once they do, will it be the witches or the hunters that are put on trial?

Covens:
Terra:
Terra has a history of good magick dating back as far as the written word. They practice only the purest forms of magick and tend to work mostly with plants. Never will you find a more loyal, trustworthy witch than a member of Terra.
Incendia:
Incendia is the coven most known for dark magick. They ignore the three-fold laws and will often use their gifts for selfish purposes. The welfare of the other four covens means nothing to the Incendias; the only thing they really care about is remaining safe from exposure. This coven favours the power of fire.
Tractus:
Throughout time, Tractus has always been acknowledged as the neutral coven. Neither leaning toward light or dark magick, the Tractuses don't believe in the three-fold laws and use their powers for more or less any reason. Tractus' magick is usually focused toward the Spirit Realms.
Unda:
Although they aren't actually evil, the Unda coven are known for their leanings toward dark magick. They do believe in the three-fold laws, but aren't as aware of them when casting spells as perhaps they should be. They mainly use water when working magick.
Ventus:
Like the Undas, the Ventus coven are neither devoted practisers of light or dark magick, but they do tend toward the lighter side. Despite being very aware of the three-fold laws, they have been known to slip on occasion and use their magick selfishly. The Ventuses have some control over the weather.
Rules
*Please Note* OhhMyGeeABumbleBee and myself are gods in this RP, meaning she can enforce any of the following rules just as much as I can [x
1. All the normal rules; keep romance/violence pg13 etc, but there's a few extras.
2. A maximum of two characters per roleplayer - preferably from different covens.
3. Normal humans can be played, but I'd like a good explanation as to how they're going to fit into the RP.
4. Please try and be as literate as you can. We all have off-days and we all make mistakes, but I'm expecting at least two paragraphs per post, one post per day - minimum. If I don't get the impression that you can do this from reading your character sheet, I won't accept you. Simple.
5. Swearing is 100% permitted, but don't go overboard. Eff and blind all you want, by all means, but it looks ridiculous if it's every other word.
6. I shouldn't have to say this, but don't god-mod. It pisses me off.
7. Please don't post in the IC until you've been accepted in the OOC, that pisses me off too.
8. HAVE FUN! It's meant to be fun!

Not really expecting much interest, but more spaces can be opened once (if) everything else is filled; to that extent, let me know if you want to reserve a character.
Also, I would like a High Priestess for each coven if at all possible.
Any questions, feel free to post them below or PM me [x
