    Plot-

    Prague. A place where peace was, only to be destroyed by war. Bartimaeus, a Transformist, had built the walls around this city in 1868. Prague was a beautiful city back then. bartimaeus also made many other walls in the capitals. There were seven capitals. These capitals were Prague, Pumasak, Dragoness, Meeponus, Phoenixas, Moleos, and Droplistet.

    One Magician is required to stay in each of these capitals, one magician in each. Each magician has a special crystal. These crystals are called the Golem's Eye, the Dragon's Eye, the Phoenix's Eye, the Gargoyle's Eye, the Lion's Eye, the Fursky's Eye, and the Hawk's Eye. These seven crystals have recently been stolen, in the year of 1888.

    People have concluded that they have been stolen by a group of rebels called The Vanishers. This group's leader is Kitty, a part-cat-part-human.

    Bartimaeus is back from 20 years of hiding, and wants revenge on Kitty and her group for stealing the Seven crystals. Batimaeus has rounded up a group of Transformists, Magicians, Afrits, Foliots, and Imps in order to find and destroy Kitty's gang and get the crystals back.

    Personality- Physically weak but commanding, never willing or wanting to shrink back from anything. He is obsessed with symnetry and perfection and says that they both are what leads to a peaceful world, but because things were never perfect, peace would never reign.

    History- At the age of three jin was abducted from his family in Japan to learn the art of summoning. He was selected because he was related to "Jokwa" a great magician who had summoned a being greater than a Marid, Shikuyu to defeat the powerful magician Kokai. He learned quickly and had summoned his first foliot at seven years old, he summoned his first Djinn at 9. He then sought to go to Prague and fight along the most powerful magicians at 13 and ran from his master's house. He then began gearing for the war about to begin.

    OOC- Your in JCB. One More On Kitty's Side And We'll Start.
     
    If I need to make this longer, tell me. I didn't want to go over the apparent 6-sentence limit for this RP.

    Name- Amaphia

    Gender- Female

    Side- Bartimaeus

    Age- 13

    Main Form- Raven

    Personality- Amaphia always aims for her best and believes in herself, never giving up on her dreams. She's antisocial and quiet, preferring to stay away from others. The thirteen-year old is quick-thinking and prefers to use strategy over force. She is careful and tries not to make mistakes, graceful as the raven that she was before she learned to transform. Generally, Amaphia is lighthearted, but has a short temper, and is often very rash when she is angry. Mostly, she is competitive and hates losing.

    Appearance- Amaphia is about two feet long, from head to tail-feather-tip. Her eyes are small, round and dark, and she has jet-black feathers. Her legs are long and featherless, ending in three toes. Her claws are long and can easily tear prey. Mainly, she feeds on smaller animals like mice and birds that are lesser in size than her.

    History- She hatched normally, other than the fact that it was a solar eclipse when she was born. Some birds believe this gives her extraordinary powers. In this case, Amaphia could transform into different things. However, she was told to keep this secret, and she flew among human towns as the raven she was born as and learned the human language. She grew quite clever, but never developed good social skills.
     
    Yay am accepted, *sits to wait for RP to start*

    =JBCBlank
     
    Black Pendelum got banned, so... I guess I'm in charge while he's gone.

    For now I'll make a generic character named Preyer who dies when a new kitty Char. comes.

    RP starts now, I'll run it while he's away.
     
    I go first!))

    Thor sighed deep as a light summer breeze fluttered his milky white wings. He smiled and turned to his right, not a soul about. At least not any he could see. He adjusted his halo, there was nothing for him to do as of yet, no one calling him, no one paying him to do anything. He hummed an old song, a song he was not sure when exactly he had heard, or if he had ever heard it before. He closed his deep brown eyes and let himself fall into the soft grass below him, his wings fell over him covering him as they always did. He ran his large hands over his bare arms and wondered if he had a family he could not remember. As he thought this he focoused his powers to enhance his ears, not a sound, or was there... he strained. That could have been a sound, or possibly just a squirrel. He sighed, "Am I to be alone for the rest of the day?" he asked silently hoping that his voice would carry to the ears of whoever was watching him.

    ((=not much of an opening huh?))
     
    "Kazuko," Jin said abruptly. A blast of wind buffeted the young magician's face. "

    Yes," a disembodied voice said through the gale.

    "Go get my cape and staff, you know twhat powers they hold, don't want anyone bad getting thay're hands on it...

    "Of course not..." the whispy voice said. "How many djinni are trapped in that staff?"

    "One hundred and eight, thirty in the cape."

    "Of course sir," the wind was gone for a moment, and then it began gusting down the hall with renewed vigor. In blew a for grey cape and a staff with strange runes embedded on it. "Now?"

    "You may rest in your own world, I will summon you when I have need of you."

    "Of course," the gale stopped, and this time did not come back. Jin dawned the cape and held the staff tightly.

    "Nouda, you will be mine someday, and then the whole world will cower before me, even Bartimaeus," the boy cackled and prepared for the day.
     
    Andronis giggled as she made away with some bandits loot. Of course she hadn't been know to them by that name.

    "Where is that filthy Aqua?" the voice of the bandit leader screamed from within the walls. "Trator! You poison my men, steel my jewels, and just leave!"

    Andronis giggled to herself as she shifted the bag to a more comfortable position. She hovered a few hundred feet or so above a dirty and falling down bandit hideout.

    "Please don't insult me." she smirked. "How could I possibly betray you when I was never on your side to begin with. Humans are such sily and strange beings."

    With that the smalish imp flew towards the forest she called home eager to get indoors and out of the soon to be coming rain.

    She didn't notice it however, but someone was observing her.
     
    "Hmm..." Jin said softly. "Among that loot the imp stole, did you see the clay sculpture?"

    "Of course" said a voice that appeared to have come from a cloaked man wielding a scythe.

    "That is the sculpture of a great demon from my birthplace, he was by the people called Owari, end, but it's true name is Koshi. He was imprisoned within that sculpture, it is said that he will protect those who wield the statue."

    "Interesting, so you wantit correct?"

    "Yes, and you will retrieve it for me," he said calmly.

    "Of course master, well I don't have anything better to do. The spectre bowed dramatically and then dissapeared.

    "Perhaps it will aid in my protection when summoning Nouda, of course only one thing can completely set in stone my protection," he glanced at the carving of a strange amulet. "The Amulet of Samarkand!"
     
    Andronis flew quickly into her treetop home just as the storm hit. Well her home wasn't necessairly at the top of the tree, actually more towards mid-way.

    Still......it was a pretty large tree.

    "Oh wow, I'm freezing." she rubbed her hands together, and walked over to light a small fire in her fire place.

    Andronis thrust her bag of loot into one corner and streached. "What I need now is something to eat."

    Leaving the bag in the corner Andronis walked swiftly into her pantry to see if there was anything edible.

    She hadn't been out forging for the past week and her supplies were running a little low.

    "Let's see...." she pulled half a loaf of wheat bread, some blackberry jam, and the last bottle of Amber wine.

    She quickly smeered some jam onto a slice of bread and devoured it without much thought, and made a second. This one she took her time eating, while every so often taking a swig of the wine.

    Once she was satisfied she left the bottle on the counter, still with a little less then half left and decided to inspect her haul.

    The wine she would polish off before going to bed.

    "Let's see what we have...." Andronis pulled out several crystals that shimmered in the low light, a handful of old coins, some sort of dagger, and an old clay statue.

    She examined the statue closely. "There seemes to be some sealed power in this, though I can't tell what." she gathered up everything, aside from the clay statue and shoved it back into the bag.

    The statue she took with her to her bedroom, along with the wine which she set on her bedside table.

    Andronis sat on her birds down bed in a cross legged fashion, the statue sitting before her. "It's probably nothing important. Maybe just something to curse unspecting humans." she giggled at this, and opened up her secret compartment in her bedside table, and shoved the statue in.

    "I obviously won't get anywhere with this tonight." she yawned. "I'll try and figure out what to do with it in the morning."

    She flopped back and fell asleep, snoring loudly.
     
    Narrated by: Sakurai (In control of Jin)
    A shadow crept a long the rule of the imp's room.¹

    The tiny creature was sound a asleep in the little bed made of what appeared to be a bump in the tree covered with leaves. I began looking around the tiny sleeping room for the clay statue. There was all sorts of mindless cludder around the room, random stuff that had no real value. Imps love the stuff, I guess it makes them feel powerful.²

    I looked in every nook and cranny (Or so I had thought) of the junk in the room, but dound nothing. I then took a risky move. I emitted a magical pulse to search for the statuatte, luckily, it didn't seem to wake the sleeping imp, who appeared to have feinted, an empty bottle of wine lay on on the floor.³

    I scrambled to the nightstand and opened a miniscule compartment on the side of the nightstand, a weak defense nexus surrounded the statue. I launched a quiet detonation at the nexus, instantly causing it to crumble. I grabbed the statue and ran.

    Now, I probably woulsdn't be summoned back 'till dawn, so I slept through the night in a hotel in the form of a magician I had one slain.

    The next day I was awoken by that tugging sensation, like a dozen fishooks embedding themselves in your flesh, it was the summons. I allowed myself to appear before my master, I knew if I resisted I would only hurt myself.

    "Did you succeed?" The maser asked politely.

    "Of course," I said impertinetely.

    "Well, hand it over," he said a little less politely.

    "Of course master," I mocked. Throwing the amulet onto the floor at his feet. He picked it up. "Excellent," he said examining the statue. "Well done, you may go," He said. And with that I dissapeared.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ¹ - In case you weren't sure, this is me. I have a love for the dramatic, and the shadow is my absolute FAVORITE form. Or did you know that? Know, you humans aren't omniscient, well stop reading this and see what I'm doing!

    ² - Can case you were wondering, here's the definition of an imp:
    Imp (¹Imp) - A low class transformist. Most have access to onlt three of the many planes of the suprnatural world.
    I say they're just annoying little brats, but that's just me.

    ³ - From the look on his face I could tell that he may have drunken the whole bottle, if not more.
