RULES
Be nice to your fellow members! A group is only as good as the people in it. Not everyone is going to be best friends, but we expect everyone to be friendly!If you have a problem with another member, please screenshot and bring it up with Cozy in a PM through discord. Moderators are always happy to help, but please try and address the problem and talk about it with each other first.This group is open to everyone, so please be open-minded when new people come in. Not everyone can adjust to the chat mood immediately and it may take some time for them to feel comfortable. Everyone was new at some point, so let’s make them feel welcome!
GENERAL
Keep in mind we will be dealing with darker themes.
The group itself will use dark themes in some events, but nothing will be sexual in nature.Sexual themes need to be taken out of the chat into PM’s and there will be no NSFW channel in the discord. If you would like to post sexually themed anything, you will have to do it off the official group’s discord. This group does not revolve around shipping, and we encourage everyone to interact with everyone to develop your character.This group is open to all ages but suggested for 18+. If you are younger and joining, please be aware that most of the group is over the age of 18.Your character should be an original character!
This means your character should be created by you, and not a character from an existing fandom. If you would like to use an adoptable character that you currently own, please feel free to do so!This is a casual group. We do not have activity checks!
We just want you to have a fun and stress-free time! Join us when you can, you’re always welcome!
CHARACTER SPECIFIC
You are allowed to play one character to start with which is a Human who is a Summoner. The main story is focused around being a human who summoned a familiar, but in order to populate the world, you get an extra character slot that can be another creature at a later date. This will be unlocked in the story. If you would like to see the restrictions set on each species please see the Species info!When designing your character please be aware that is a "modern world" so dress your character appropriately. Though there are fantasy elements such as magic and demons, your character will be living in the present day and age.
ROLEPLAY
No God-Moding will be tolerated. Stats are relative.
If your stats are lower than your opponents, you’ve obviously going to be weaker than them. Don’t try and pretend differently! That does not mean you cannot fight them, but you’ll have to get lucky to defeat them.Battle System
Some events will require the use of the battle system, others will not. If you have any questions regarding how to use it be sure to ask! Most people are willing to help you figure it out! If it's your first time using it in an event, please don't hesitate to ask questions!

Somewhere upon your body a sigil has appeared. These sigils have been appearing on people across the city of Lindow.Lindow was a city built upon thousands of years of human history. For millennia man has been attracted to this particular location. Filled with the architecture of varying religions, regions, and time periods, this metropolis has turned into a booming city in the modern age with countless secrets buried beneath its facade of peace and prosperity.Somewhere in this city, the chosen have been marked. This is where your story begins. Whoever you are, whatever events brought you to this point, there is only one thing you can do in order to continue forward...Come hither Summoner, destiny awaits.
0.0 AND HERE WE BEGIN
There was something about Lindow that resonated within you. The duality of the city pushed and pulled at your senses. The old cobblestone roads that were pieced around colonial buildings with their roots so deeply integrated into the city they could not be built out. The shining lights and glittering glass of the modern uptown with buildings that stretched to the sky and burst from the landscape. The green space that speckled the city like secret gardens…and the shadows that never seemed to fade even in the brightest areas...[Whether you had just come to town or been born here... this place had an energy that resonated with you.]One day you feel a sting somewhere on your body. You brush it off and the pain fades quickly. You forget about it immediately and go on with your life.[The brief pain just another moment in your life that fades away, forgotten.]The pain comes again, many days later, and this time it does not relent. You gasp and clutch at the spot, but the pain does not ease. You pull your hands away and look, expecting to find the spot burning red like the searing pain suggested it should be.However, instead of a raised mark, there is a sigil burning brightly and unnaturally where the pain is radiating from.[The spot glows brightly in a beautiful color, and as the pain fades, so does the mark, until it is nothing but a memory on your skin. ]
The following are options for you to choose from, keep track of the symbols as you work your way through the prologue: (Optional)➤ You come from a family that has knowledge of the occult. A rare family that has the ability and knowledge to use magic. You find it alarming and worrisome that a magical mark would appear on you. This is not normal. ☐➤ You think you recognize the sigil from something you have read or seen a long time ago… ☐ ▲➤ Perhaps, you have been able to sense the whispers in the air all your life and you know that this mark is a sign that something far greater is on the way. This is a sign of destiny. ❤ ▲➤ Ouch...what? ♦
Either way, you have no choice but to wait and see what happens. Days pass and you find that you have the ability to call the mark at will. It shines brightly when you call it and disappears from sight when you have no use of it.
➤ You recognize the feeling of calling the sigil to appear on your skin as the same feeling you get when you produce magic. ☐ ▲❤➤ This feeling may be foreign to you, but you come to recognize it and summon it easily enough. ❤➤ It takes a few tries, but you manage to make it appear at will. ♦
You continue into the coming days not quite sure what to do with yourself when you begin to notice a strange phenomenon happening around you.[You have the ability to see beyond the ordinary.]It is not a rare phenomenon that children can “see” beyond. However, it is often brushed aside as nothing more than imagination, and eventually, they lose the ability to see yonder. While that is not always the case, it is true more often than not.You begin to see them in the shadows, strange shapes forming in the corner of your eye in places where negative energy stands stale, things you aren’t meant to see.
➤ You may have had the ability to sense these things all along. A cold that washes over your body when you enter a space you should not be in. Shadows that have too much form and movement to be simple shadows. A sense that alerts you to the unseen...however, it has never been quite this intense before. ❤ ☐ ▲➤ This may be the first time you have ever experienced such a phenomenon. You feel a spike of adrenaline course through you, and know you should not be there longer than you have to be. ♦ ☐
It appears out of nowhere one day. Your foot catches it as you are walking home, a strange book with a strap holding it shut.
➤ You lean down and pull the book out from under something, not sure where it came from or what it was doing there.➤ You pull the book out of your bag, surprised when you do. Who put that in there?
You find a quiet, private place to sit down, pulling at the buckle holding the strap in place. It releases with a click and a prick of your finger.The book falls open.That is the last moment your life is ordinary.
0.0 FIRST ENCOUNTER
The pages are filled with symbols you do not understand. A circle takes shape on the page, flaring to life. Illegible script glows and forms across the pages as it begins to turn the pages on its own, unknown words flood into your mind.The room wavers and fills with energy.A magic circle bursts forth before you and a voice calls from the beyond, “One who calls forth spirits to do their bidding, binding them to their will for your own purpose. You who seek power to change the unchangeable, to know the unknown, speaketh your name…”
➤ You say your name… ♦ ▲➤ Well, this seems like a stupid idea, but for some reason, your name slips through your mouth anyway. ❤➤ You have some knowledge of summonings and the occult, you sense no ill will from this spell. You are in no danger of giving your name, this does not smell like the work of the fae. ☐
It happens in a flash of blazing light, a magic circle bursts forth beneath your feet and fills the room with light as your name appears in the book as if you had written it with your own hand.The voice murmurs to you from all directions, echoing inside your head.“Summoner who offers a contract with this child… pray speaketh and tell us your desire…”[You answer...]A light appears in the circle, flickering back and forth, trying to take form before you. It reaches towards you, reforming in the magic circle over and over again.“This spirit hears your desire and responds. Will you give it form?”
➤ An image flickers in your head, unable to stop the image from forming, you watch as the light begins to take shape. ❤➤ You are strong-willed, and the form you desire your spirit to take forms in your mind clearly. ▲☐➤ Oh shit, oh fuck, oh shit, oh fuck, oh SHIT, OH FUCK-- ♦
A name forms in your mind, and you call it out. The letters break apart in your mind’s eye and recreate a sigil. The sigil appears in the book beside your name, and the magic circle crackles as an overwhelming light spills from it before bursting and in a blinding blast.You are knocked back, and as the light fades and you find yourself slipping into unconsciousness… the book slips through your fingers and clatters to the floor as it is slowly eaten away by light…The voice speaks gently to you as you fade away.“With this sigil I beseech you, prove yourself worthy of this gift and be the undoing of the King of Demons.”
➤ ...
You awake a few hours later to find yourself sprawled out on the floor, the smell of sulfur still lingering in the air. You are tempted to believe that the night before had been a simple dream... or nightmare…However, much to your dismay, a small voice calls out to you.You lift your head and come face to face with... your new familiar.The creature sitting before you is not what you are expecting, small in stature and strangely... strange.It opens its mouth and speaks.
➤ ...
➤ ... Oh boy…
➤ Well that doesn’t seem right… ☐
WELCOME TO EVOCATION | ADD UP YOUR SYMBOLS AND READ THE RESULTS
☐ | ▲ | ❤ | ♦
COMES WITH A PAST | YOU HAVE FAMILY HISTORY ☐
Your family history is deep and rich, but perhaps you don’t know much about it. You may have come from a grand mage family that spans the ages or found out a little something of magic from a great aunt who lives alone in a creepy old house or a grandparent that left you a strange key to an even stranger room. Either way, the knowledge of this world you have comes to know far exceeds that of the average person.
SUGGESTED: Your character has a base understanding of magic and learns their spells from family members or journals passed down in the family. Perhaps, they come from a long line of Blood mages, or Guardians and are expected to train and become another in that long line. Maybe they have inherited their grandparent's collection of magical journals. Either way, you know your way around.[Your character is well acquainted with the basics of magic]
A SHROUD OF MYSTERY | YOU ARE AN ENIGMA ▲
You are an enigma. A person who is mysterious, puzzling, and difficult to understand. You’re not always sure why you know the things you do, but you must have picked it up from somewhere. maybe a changeling? Who knows.
You just go with it.
SUGGESTED: Perhaps you came from a mage family but are unaware of it, or perhaps you were friends with a demon, spirit, or fae when you were younger and have little to no memory of the details.Either way, [you have always had an extra sense that told you something was more than seemed.]
THE GIFTED | YOU ARE A NATURAL ❤
You are naturally gifted. Perhaps it is because you have always known, deep down, that magic is real. Maybe you’ve been able to do a little for a while now or perhaps you have always possessed the sight. From imaginary characters in your childhood that were probably demons in disguise or the feeling that a guardian angel has always had your back. Perhaps you have always had the ability to sense the spirits around you or had a touch of divination.[Either way, magic comes naturally to you and you use it with ease.]
SUGGESTED: You have always had an interest in the occult and it has always been close to you. Perhaps you were raised with magic close at hand or simply had it within you. Your interest in it is what makes you gifted, you pick up things easily and adapt rapidly. You may be a descendent of a great magician and not even realize it. These things happen after all, magic lost to the ages, family lines lost to generations of non-magic users.
YOU ARE LIKE A LITTLE BABY | YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE OCCULT ♦
Are you going to be okay? You have little to no knowledge of the occult and have just found out that magic is actually real. You are new to this world and don’t have any resources to help you through this difficult time besides a tiny (is this thing a demon??) that may or may not be trying to get you killed.
SUGGESTED: I mean, seriously? Are you going to be okay?
