(thanks to ranger, dwagon, and sanjita for helping this a couple months ago last year, i wouldn't have finished it without you guys!)
=== What is the Dream Club?
For many children, it's the most exclusive middle school club one could be accepted into. Though, that honestly may not be revealing much; the school of Greenwoods, the only middle school in this small town, isn't a particularly high quality school. It's not even a school, officially; it's a club that consists of and is supported by the members themselves.
The club members hold a secret of great magnitude - one that they have made great efforts to keep hidden. The library and the school campus are not their only meeting places; they also gather in a glade of the forest, in the dead of night (8:30 pm). Within the glade is a large shiny rock, next to which is situated a tiny pool of water. The club's leader's home is not far behind.
/What would a club made to discuss dreams have to hide?/
Well, dreams aren't the only subject that the school speak of; these children also practice witchcraft. They train in secret, sharing the little spells that they've discovered through experimenting and flicking through dusty old library books centuries ago.
===
The ability to do magic is something that can't exactly be learned or taught; it's a quality that some are born with, but in most cases training and practice is required to be able to put good use to the ability. While the children's magical abilities are unique and far different to what anyone from this town has seen, they aren't very powerful since they are newly-kindled, the children only having very recently discovered their capability of using magic. The practice isn't an easy one to master, either. Even to do simple things, like cast thin beams of light, light a simple flame, or to be able to move things the size of a key, can be exhausting for a beginner.
There are, of course, side effects to magic. Fatigue and exhaustion are obvious ones that one comes across when first trying it, but there are more hidden, severe ones. Though these kids may not know it yet...
The children with magic work relentlessly to find the source of their awe-inspiring powers, though their efforts have thus far been fruitless. Every student wants to get their hands on this information, whether it be to magnify their magical power or for simply the pride of being the one to finally answer a question that has baffled many. These many believe that this answer resides within the darkest corners of the school, the most chilling crevices in the forest, and the hands of those you wouldn't be likely to suspect.
===
So what about the town?
This village is a tiny, relatively rural one, set within a crowded forest and near a two lane pavement road. It has plenty of houses enough for the population, some stores and buildings, and the school itself.
Most of the people here don't use cars at all; it's usually bikes and their own feet, even among adults.
===
Important Areas:
Conveniently located just outside the boundaries of the school is a forest. For normal students this is a place to daringly push rules. For those possessing magical qualities, it is ominous and an unfavorable place to find yourself alone, but also a goldmine for knowledge.
The library is especially ancient, and nobody here really knows who it's original owner was before. The size of the building is as typical as one could get, however, it is completely filled and stuffed with many books and hiding places. The place is hard to navigate, and it's easy to get lost if you aren't familiar with it.
The school, named St. Greenwoods's Middle School, is about as small as you can legally achieve, for a school. There are only around 50 students within it. It's a slightly weathered building, the outsides made of sturdy red brick and the old door slightly scratched but polished for the beginning of the school year. Taught at the school is Math, Language Arts, Science, and Social studies, as well as a gym class. In a shadowy corner of the Science classroom is a small wardrobe-like room where the teacher claims to store old text books. Nobody is allowed to wander around this area, and people suspect that there is something other than books stored within it.
===
Rules 1. Don't godmod, powerplay, metagame, control characters that aren't yours, all that jazz you shouldn't do while RPing. 2. Don't be a dinghy to other people outside of the RP. Having a character be a dinghy is perfectly fine, however. 3. I reserve the ability to ban you for any reason at all; "it isn't against the rules!" is not an excuse. 4. Multiple characters are okay, but I would rather you use them to interact with other characters rather than make a tiny story of your own. 5. There aren't really any limits to who your characters can be, a teacher, a kid without powers, a parent, a homeless person, as long as it fits the setting here.

And you never said there couldn't be someone who was previously in the Dream Club in the RP. |

Name: Ronald "Ron" Itiren.
Age: Eleven.
Gender: Male.
Looks: Ron is short little boy, who's just above average in weight. His skin is a very bright white, making it seem like he's scared every time someone would see him. His face is round, with green eyes, an average nose, and average lips. The only thing that's noteworthy about his face is how it's decorated with freckles. His hair is a natural orange, and goes down to his shoulders. For his attire, he wears a purple T-shirt with drawings of sparkles on it, some boring jeans, and blue sandals.
Magic: Ron has the ability to manipulate the outcome of various events. His lack of training limits him to minor things, like a coin toss, which only has two outcomes.
Bio: Ron's situation wasn't great when he was young. His parents spoiled his older sister, giving her everything she wanted, and gave Ron barely anything he wanted. When the news arrived that Ron had powers, he was overjoyed, and his sister was very jealous. Every time she can, Ron's sister tries to do mean things to Ron, because of her jealousy, and her parents let her get away with it.
Personality: Ron is meek and shy, trying to avoid people when he can. Once you get to know him, he tries to be as nice as possible, but is always worried about messing something up.
Other: N/A.

(accepted!! kind of iffy of the magic of being able to change the future and such, but since its relatively small rn i guess it's fine!
but also maybe i should have explained this better but the magic is supposed to be sort of a secret? well, it might not be really in practice, since news probably would travel fast in the small town, along with rumors of magic, but in general the parents probably would not know about the magic, mostly the children would. or, if the parents would know, they'd probably think that it's just a town-scale pretend. i-if that makes sense! )

Character Sheet
Name: Rutilia L. Sheridan Age: 16 years old Gender: Female
Looks: Rutilia is a petite girl, who stands at about 152 centimeters and weighs in at about 48 kilograms. Her body is a bit on the skinny side, but it is healthy and in shape, and her skin is a pale beige. Her hair is a dark brown that almost looks black, being messy and wavy and falling to her waist. Her bangs often fall in front of her eyes despite the fact that she has two bobby pins clipped in her hair. Rutilia has light green eyes with tints of dark green. They give off a rounded appearance and are lashed by dark thin lashes. Her face is heart-like shaped with a soft chin and soft pink lips. Her body is covered with faint red marks, possibly once the color of whenever a person is slapped with brute force. These marks are similar to those of which a belt would make, circling around her skin, ranging from her arms to her legs and from her chest to her back. As for clothes, she simply wears a dark Navy sweater that is oversized with a couple holes near the edges, along with a pair of black skinny jeans and a pair of maroon high tops with white socks. Basically clothes that don't reveal her scars.
Magic: Darkness Manipulation.
Bio: Rutilia spent most of her time growing up in a dark, enclosed space. This was because her father abus.ed her due to his disappointment of not having a boy. Her mother often slipped food into her daughter's hiding place, as she did not want her child to starve to death, and patched her daughter up whenever a chance came. Despite her mother's efforts, Rutilia still has scars from her father's abu.se, mentally and physically. [ I don't know what else to write, don't hurt me. ]
Personality: A quiet girl who rarely expresses emotions, but when she does, she's quite easy to read. She avoids large crowds most of the time and prefers to hang out in quiet, secluded places. Usually found in a corner with her nose in a thick novel.
Other: Due to being ab.used by her father, Rutilia lost the ability to speak because of her fear of her father. Therefore, she is mute. [ I know it's cliché, I'm sorry. ] |

( also tbp i am able to find a couple things that r wrong with it
first off even though it is mostly my fault for not having mentioned it and edited the rp to make much more sense, the dream club is only made very recently, like, perhaps around a few months or a year or around that time. but it definitely didn't exist back then, because it was recently that the children (and seemingly only children) had figured it out.
also there would be no need for a garage, because not many people would have cars, and nobody would really need a car, especially around the town. though, there might be other people that may be passing through the roads, and might need a mechanic, but i'll just be saying it wouldn't be a really viable way for her to make a living, since customers would be pretty rare and not be an everyday thing. though you can still do this if you really would want to.
i mean i know i said there are no limits, but... too me it doesnt seem like it fits the setting of the story? i mean, an adult with powers that has been in the club several years ago, when it wouldnt have existed for that long into the past? i- i dont know
a-apologies, but im just, a-ahh))

[ Darkness Manipulation: She can create, shape and manipulate darkness and shadows. By itself, darkness is mostly used to cloud everything into total darkness, but by accessing a dimension of dark energy it can be channeled to a variety of effects, both as an absence of light and a solid substance: one can also control and manipulate the beings that exist there, create and dispel shields and areas of total darkness, create constructs and weapons, teleport one's self through massive distances via shadows, etc.
So far, however, Rutilia is only able to create shields from darkness and teleport to distant places using the shadows a.k.a. 'Shadow Travel.' No weapons just yet. ]

("So far, however, Rutilia is only able to create shields from darkness and teleport to distant places using the shadows a.k.a. 'Shadow Travel.' No weapons just yet. ]" I'm pretty sure Pika would still consider this to be a bit too much. Shields are plausible, as long as limited to some extent, but teleportation, especially to fair distances, might be a bit too much. Perhaps start it off at a smaller scale?) |

(tbh i agree with ginger it can be considered a little op, especially where your starting point is with a lack of training, like grasping teleportation immediately after finding out you have powers is a little iffy... maybe start at a less grand scale? like, id even prefer you to start just being able to manipulate small bits of shadows before even nearing to large shields? just a suggestion though?
like crystak example, his power may also be considered op, being able to change the future, but he started out really small, like minor things. like a coin flip? so maybe it can be like that?
@crystak
they pretty much just scout around, sneaking around for potential magic, listening to rumors, they try to find out and confirm if you have powers or not in secrecy, before handing you a card telling where the meeting is, where then theyd have to initiate you)

(@killczar, Your cs needs some reworking. While it's a small and minute detail, most cs's include their characters last names as well. Honestly, though, that's the least of your worries. The physical appearance of your character is rushed through and nonspecific, for one thing, and it isn't even addressed why he has any scars in the first place. They shouldn't be there for no reason, and they certainly can't be there just to make him look cool. Also, why say he's attractive? It's not an all too important thing to mention. And, honestly, it's a bit difficult to make a character with a scar on their eye attractive.
Give some details on what his powers are capable of, merely stating his powers won't tell us anything about his abilities.
His biography needs some polishing, but it isn't anything all too bad, mostly. The only big problem here is...how the hell does he maintain himself?
Finally, it's alright for you to not write his personality right now, but it would be good for you to show it later in either his actions or outright how he behaves.
Rework it. As of right now, I don't accept it, sorry.)
