Okay, so this idea, too, has been buzzing around in my head, and I\'ve wondered about how to implement this for some time, before finally deciding to make this here and now.

Essentially, the RP will be set 20 minutes in the future, in a community college - following an odd event called the Advent Midnight Sky, Wizards of the Coast came out with a new way to play Magic.

It involves a gauntlet that projects a field in front of you, called a Casting Field. The official explanation is that its Hard Light and holograms.

Following this, Magic Tournaments have become a bit bigger scale, and unbeknownst to the players, a good deal more dangerous - one player alleged that his opponent\'s Infect creature clawed him on the arm, and ever since he had very disturbing dreams and odd spasms in the arm.

However, this was dismissed as an extreme reaction to the stimuli, and by and large, the games continue.

At the college, the Magic Club gets ready for its entrance to the tournament, and in the course of this, a lot of unfortunate secrets may well come to light...

Character Sheet and Rules:

  • Try to stay away from high powered decks. Nothing that, say, wins all the time on turn 2 or 3.
  • When making your deck, stay away from using high profile Legendaries and Planeswalkers. Lets just say there\'s a reason.
  • If you want to use Phyrexian cards, talk to me via PM.
  • And lastly, we\'re here to have fun.

  • Name:
  • Gender:
  • Age: (college age, though flexibility exists for \"young prodigies\".)
  • Appearance:
  • Personality: (some connection between personality and Color(s) you use is expected)
  • Skills Otherwise: (will come into play later)
  • History:

  • Your Deck:
    • Creatures:
    • Enchantments:

By and large Modern. Though there will be some older cards used by certain people, as a statement.

Okay, I think Icould get interested in this. Might need time to cook up a character I guess.

Thanks for the interest; here are some characters I'll be using;

  • Name: Jane Redrew
  • Gender: Female
  • Age: 20
  • Appearance: Jane has bright red hair and light blue eyes, a thin frame, but one evidently used to athletics. She usually wears t-shirts, jeans, and sneaker shoes. Only once in a blue moon will you see her wear a dress. She carries her cards with her in a silver and black deck box at her waist, and her Caster's Gauntlet is always with her in her purse. While she's a beautiful woman, she doesn't add on to this appearance.
  • Personality: Rebellious and also curiously cerebral, Jane seems to have a personality that merges the teenage rebel with a "genius" student, she is currently taking numerous high level classes at the college, and yet she apparently had a record of using her intelligence to stir up trouble. Apparently, one time she made her high school's football team quarterback "suffer from irritation, rashes and a seriously bruised ego" after he maliciously pranked one of her friends. She is very loyal to her friends, almost to a fault. Internally, she worries she's "too abrasive" to find a boyfriend, but she doesn't let this distract her from what she sees as important.
  • Skills Otherwise: Very skilled chemist, good at creating things using various substances and materials. One of her old classmates called her "a female Mac Guyver."
  • History: She was apparently present for the Advent Midnight Sky event, one of three hundred people in the area it occurred in who were able to directly watch it. She does not remember much about it, just that there were "a lot of colors...some of which I don't think existed before." She picked up Magic because her older brother played it, and aims for the pro leagues.

I need a large workload, otherwise my ideas turn stale and boring. Working on numerous things helps keep me fresh.

I would like to join this but I'm not good with deck building and not sure what to write for my character except that my character's name is Kyre Bracken.

You might want to consider the date of the last post before yours. This is most definitely a dead thread, as is the other one you wrote in.
