Daughter of the Blood is a book by Anne Bishop. In this book, characters can have magic. They are classified by gender, then power level/birthright. They also live in three different realms.

Here are the classifications:
Males

  • Landen: non-Blood of any race
  • Blood male: a general term for all males of the Blood;also refers to any Blood male who doesn't wear Jewels
  • Warlord: a Jeweled male equal in status to a witch
  • Prince: a Jeweled male equal in status to a Priestess or a Healer
  • Warlord Prince: a dangerous, extremely aggressive Jeweled male; in status, slightly lower than a Queen


Females

  • Landen: non-Blood of any race
  • Blood female: a general term for all females of the Blood; mostly refers to any Blood female who doen't wear Jewels
  • witch: a blood female who wears Jewels but isn't one of the other hierarchical levels; also refers to any Jeweled female
  • Healer: a witch who heals physical wounds and illnesses; equal in status to a Priestess and a Prince
  • Priestess: a witch who cares for altars, Sanctuaries, and Dark Altars; witnesses handfasts and marriages; performs offerings; equal in status to a Healer and a Prince
  • Black Widow: a witch who heals the mind; weaves the tangled webs of dreams and visions; is trained in illusions and poisons
  • Queen: a witch who rules the Blood; is considered to be a land's heart and the Blood's moral center; as such, she is the focal point of their society


Realms

  • Terreille: (Realm of Light) This world is magic, yes, but it is also full of evil. One queen wants to rule them all.
  • Kaeleer: (Shadow Realm) This world is magic, and much nicer than Terreille. It is full of the kindred, which are animals with human-like minds, as well as unicorns. It does, however, have some evil in it. Most of this is centered in the town of Little-Terreille.
  • Hell: (Dark Realm) This is the realm of the dead. Harpes, or witches who died violently at the hands of a man, still posses some power, but mainly only the inner circle does.


Jewels (strongest on the bottom)

  • White
  • Yellow
  • Tiger Eye
  • Rose
  • Summer-sky
  • Purple Dusk
  • Opal
  • Green
  • Sapphire
  • Red
  • Gray
  • Ebon-gray
  • Black

If your character is under 20 years old, I will PM you after a certain amount of time, signifying your character's Offering to the Darkness. This PM will contain your character's new jewel.

This is the skeleton we're going to use:

Username:
Character name: (First and last)
Age: (10-10,000)
Gender: (m or f)
Rank: (Queens and Warlord Princes are rather rare. Please PM me if you would like one)
Jewel: (not everyone needs a jewel, but to have a jewel more powerful than red, your character must be 20 or older. If you would like your character to be Ebon-gray or Black, PM me first as these jewels are rare
Realm: (Terreille, Kaeleer, or Hell)
Appearance:
Weapon of choice: (nothing too extreme please)
History: (Two sentence minimum)
Other: (anything else)

Current Characters:
Terreille
Marcus Bloorite


Kaeleer
Cassie Hillian

I hope this doesn't have to be at all accurate to the book this is based on, because I have no idea what I'm writing. So I'm just going to make a bunch of stuff up :)

Also... What's it mean if your a blood male? Or a member of the blood? What's this blood of which you speak? Like... Royal blood?

It doesn't have to be to close to the book, I'll let you know if it gets too far off.

The blood is magic, basically. When the world was young, it held dragons. The majority of them died off and now only one exists in the Shadow Realm in a secret cave (It will never be found in the course of this RPG). This dragon's mate decided that, when she died, she would have her scales fall off her body when she was flying. When these scales landed on a person, that person would become magic. This magic would then flow through their blood and be passed along in their bloodline.

Ah, interesting. So those who were not fortunate enough to be hit by these scales can't use magic? (No idea why I'm asking, since it doesn't really effect me)

Yep. And then they crossed married and some got lighter jewels and so on and so forth. The Blood is still not dominant, but they are the most powerful of the area.

An interesting fact: It is not illegal for Blood to kill Blood.

Jewel: Green
Realm: From Kaeleer raised in Hell)

Weapon of choice: A blessed bow with sharpened tips left with him from his late father
History: Kaeleer a pretty peaceful place well except for Little-Terreille on the edge of town the place i was born i knew about it and made sure to stay away from the major populas in Little-Terreille. One day when i was 4 my father a warlord prince decided to show me the greater evils in life and we went into the Dark realm i was scared but my father looked fearless as we went along the broken path. Then suddenly my father shouted in pain and i looked at my fathers's chest watching what had just struck through his heart retract from his flesh, a harpy right behind him. The harpy then dropped my father's bow on the ground and dive bombed me unable to react in time i was struck across the chest, i crawled in pain toward my father as the harpy circled around, i reached my father and i watched the blood drain from his body, in a fit of rage i ran toward the bow and turn the harpy was right on top of me i plunged the knife like blade into is neck. It fell silently. I was now wounded, alone, lost, and afraid. Years later after thriving in Hell for 12 years i was able to use my fathers bow but i lost my sanity.

I look forward to seeing you in game Shock.

Interesting history, but I think your skellie has to be approved before you can actually post in game.

... Been writing a little bit lately. Kind of half-contemplating trying out roleplaying again. The other one doesn't really seem to fit my... style. This one doesn't sound to bad. Anyone up for getting this story rolling again? (Don't know how we'll 'play' without Shocktart though. Kind of left off in the middle of a conversation... Don't know what happened to him/her.)

Also, hope yall don't mind if I get a little gruesome. Going through some things at the moment, and writing is a good way for me to vent. I'll try not to gross anyone out to much though.

How are we gonna deal with Shocktart? Unless he still visits this site. I haven't seen him post anything for awhile now. Kill him off? Ditch him? Put him on auto pilot, and have him be one of those silent types who just follows us around?
