In the land called Haven, magic happens. Be it either good or bad, it happens. It's not available for human use, of course, but those from above make it apparent, causing those below to be hopeful for miracles. There are a few that are able to harness this particular magic, though, and those rare beings are given a name: Owls. You will be able to become one of these sacred Owls, and through the rp, you will discover your unique abilities among the public and find others with these same things in common. Have fun and be creative!
FYI: This role play is based off of a very good friend of mine's idea; therefore I can only claim parts of this as my own. He is my muse and part of my imagination, so consider this as a collaboration between us.

It's the old age in Haven meaning there's no electricity, the majority of the people grow their own food, and a monarchy is set in place. The monarchy, just like our present day government and Wall Street, is corrupt and evil, causing pain and misfortune for the citizens in Haven. Because of this horror, rebellion groups form throughout the country, but predictably, they fail. Even pirates around the area send in their best to take down the current ruler, in hopes that one of their own can take the reins and send riches to their kind, but they are left with sadness, only to see their plans fail miserably.
As if it couldn't get any worse, the road to the kingdom is blocked by a large and deadly forest. Those outside of the forest who travel to the kingdom to seek reform don't even make it out alive, but those who do are mentally damaged for life and can only speak of the horrors they've seen in single word sentences. The journey through the forest typically takes a few months as well, but the time it takes to heal from the many wounds received causes the duration to stretch out to nearly a year.
Only through that difficult journey will the toughest make it out alive and to the kingdom; therefore, traveling in teams is the smart way out of death. That team, one of pirates, rogue assassins, and advanced geniuses, will be the fated one to turn the world around for good. The one element that this destined team has that others don't is the fact that this team is one made up of Owls. They will discover this on their own through the difficulties that they face, but it is for sure that they will become a powerful team with a powerful bond.

ReservedQuote:  The Puppeteer: 0oaphroditeo0
Hello, my name is: Freya Fionn
I'm: 19
I am a: pirate and proud of it!
Although I don't know this yet, my Owl ability is: breathing under water and manipulating my blades into anything I chose.
My personality is one-of-a-kind because: I'm an outspoken fireball and don't care what anyone thinks about it. I've been raised to be tough, strong, and care free by the pirates on my ship, and I rarely give up on anything.Through my tough exterior, there is a womanly side to me, but that little fact has been nearly forgotten; it's never used.
I enjoy: fighting, telling tall tales, drinking, singing, and dancing.
When I was young: I was handed over to my dad, my mother not at the right age to take care of a tiny winy baby like me. Although I wasn't a boy like my father hoped I would be, he continued to raise me like one, and soon, I was like the other guys on the ship, singing and drinking to my content.
As I grew older though, my father realized that I was turning into a woman and that the rest of the crew had noticed as well. This was when he became the protective father, and as he was the captain of the ship, the crew was smart to steer clear from even touching me. That was the time when I was allowed to go on tiny raids with the crew as well, and soon I was a full fledged pirate.
Through all of the fights and experience, I soon became one of the most feared pirates on the ocean blue, and when word of the monarchy stealing all of the riches that we were supposed to steal came about, father sent me to Haven, telling me to destroy that god forsaken king and take the throne myself.Quote:  The Puppeteer: zkilz
Hello, my name is:leo crusivil
I'm: 17
I am a: civilian with a dream
Although I don't know this yet, my Owl ability is: power over water but need's an object to filter his power threw it the more emotional attachment to an object the more he can filter threw it
My personality is one-of-a-kind because: i can be kind,spontaneous and excitable although i can sometimes forget small details i can make up with sense of direction and people skill
I enjoy: shiny objects
When I was young: i always wished of seeing the world and meeting new people sadly my parents always told me it was a fools dream but i didn't listen and i ran away hoping that what i saw beyond my home was a world filled with wonders 4laugh Quote:  The Puppeteer: Fable Sciuridae
Hello, my name is: Io Yeoman
I'm: 18
I am a: Nobody. Please do not be concerned about this. She is the daughter of a rogue and a high standing Lady.
Although I don't know this yet, my Owl ability is: Healing – The strength of how well I will be able to heal depends on whether it is day or night, as well as the phases of the Moon.
My personality is one-of-a-kind because: I am very calm and kind, though I may come off as cold sometimes. I can tolerate many things, and my patience goes far. I hold my friends close and dear to my heart. I treat everyone as an equal, no matter their social standing or what they do with their lives.
I enjoy: Watching the stars at night, warm meals, warm smiles, and music. I even enjoy reading every once in a while.
When I was young: I never met my father, though I will tell you my mother has told me about him. I don’t know what to think of him, as she has never said anything bad about him despite…The fact that he was never here for either of us. I was raised very well by her, learning a lot through my life. I always treated people fairly and equally, so when I heard of what the Kingdom was doing…I must admit, I became furious. 4laugh Lucifer Moloch  The Puppeteer: Lucifer Moloch
Hello, my name is: Markus Madavarius
I'm: 20
I am a: Disgraced Knight
Although I don't know this yet, my Owl ability is: reflecting one's sins and misdeeds upon themselves
My personality is one-of-a-kind because: I used to be quite a happy-go-lucky guy. Not so much anymore. I tend to sulk a lot, and growl, and glare, and all-around just be angry. I'm quiet, until someone touches a nerve, then I either yell or fight. It's hard to get me out of my bad moods, but when you do, it can be quite rewarding. I have a horrible conscious, though, and I purposefully scar myself with every person I kill, I'm up to three hundred and ninety-seven. While I'm trying to use more reason and logic, my own personal beliefs still but in a lot.
I enjoy: sulking, maintaining equipment perfection, sulking, fighting for what's logical, staring at the stars
When I was young: I was born and raised in the name of Haven. I fought for it, and killed for it. I was raised by some higher-ranking officer and his wife, but I didn't pay attention to them. My mother was Haven, my father was the military. I enrolled as soon as I could, and was eager to fight for the sake of my King. However, not too long ago, I fell in love with a beautiful woman, and took her as my bride. Soon, we were expecting child. When I came home from inspecting the new incoming troops, however, I had found my wife killed, and myself framed for it. Due to my record, I wasn't executed or imprisoned, but rather exiled. I have since found out that I was merely a pawn manipulated and discarded until the time was right, so now I seek retribution and peace of mind. 4laugh Quote:  The Puppeteer: Cunning Remark
Hello, my name is: Liona Lupine
I'm: 15
I am a: GENIUS
Although I don't know this yet, my Owl ability is: The ability to raise the dead
My personality is one-of-a-kind because: Quiet and inquisitive

When I was young: I traveled with my parents, and found that I wanted to explore the whole world! 4laugh Quote:  The Puppeteer: iBelongToReine

I'm: 19
I am a: Knight

I am of the heighth: 6'4"
I am of the weight: 225 (with armour)
Although I don't know this yet, my Owl ability is: Able to rapidly calculate enemy movement, a strong sense of smell, and the blood from my mother's side of the family allows me to take control of the weapon known as Star's Light and make it change into different weapons, depending on what I need.
My personality is one-of-a-kind because: I can only love one person, but I manage to care for millions, I'm nice when I need or want to be, and I have a strong will to fight for that which is right and the one I love.
I enjoy: Helping those in need, hunting, watching fires, and laying in rain or snow.
When I was young: I was raised in a land covered in only ice and snow. It was a wonderful place before the world turned dark and became corrupted. I was raised to fend for myself. My mother died giving birth to me, so I never met her. My father died when I was 17. He was killed in a caravan raid. His caravan was attacked and his whole caravan was destroyed. My father was left for dead on the dirt road. Ever since then I have been living on my own. I was taken into the Kingdom to become a knight and protector of a princess that I soon after fell in love with. 4laugh Nightwind-Dragon  The Puppeteer: Nightwind-Dragon
Hello, my name is: Ashe
I'm: 20
I am a: Ranger/Archer/Tracker
Although I don't know this yet, my Owl ability is: Wind control
My personality is one-of-a-kind because:Quiet, more likely to listen then to talk. I do crack a joke every once in a blue moon, though it's more sarcastic and dry than funny. I am also very laid back and slow to anger, but I am almost a different person when angered.
I enjoy: Reading, practicing my bow skills, watching people, animals, stars, etc..., and quiet places
When I was young: My parents and I lived on the fringe of the Dark Woods, hunting for food and skins. I was one of 4 children, two brothers and a younger sister. We all learned to hunt and track from our father and my sister and I learned to skin, cook, tan, and sew from our mother.
Lately travelers have been coming to our home, hoping to find help through the forest. My father always refused, though my two brothers went. Only one came back.
The travelers have spoken of the corruption of the kingdom and their hopes to overthrow it. Though their reasons are always different. I got curiouse about this kingdom and slipped out at night to join a group that was heading through the forest. 4laugh

 "Are you serious? You're letting me travel all by myself to Haven?" Freya croaked, astonished that her over protective father would even think about the possibility.
"Well sure honey, you are the mightiest pirate of them all... other than me," he chuckled, the crew following in his actions as they listened into the conversation. They watched her reaction as they hung from ropes, leaned on masts, and sat on the deck, happy for their princess' surprise.
"Hell yeah! When do I leave?" she questioned with excitement as she pumped her fists around. The crew hooted and hollered, but quickly quieted down, letting the captain speak with no interruption.
"There's no need to wait. We're already close to the mainland and we have a tiny raft waiting for you at the bow of the ship, so when you're all packed and prepared, get your little a** outta' here!" the captain exclaimed as he gave her a stern look, getting him the mirrored look out of her.
"Aye aye captain!" Freya formally stated as she saluted him and spun around on her heel, sprinting away from her father and towards her room to pack. As if the boat was on fire, she threw all of her important belongings into a netting bag and slung it over her shoulder. It looked like no one had budged from their positions since she left, and when she appeared back at the center of the deck, the whole crew swarmed towards her, giving her hearty hugs, sloppy cheek kisses, and words of encouragement all ranging from "You better get on that throne," or "I'll be the one to beat you in a match, so don't you dare die!" Tears nearly formed around Freya's big golden eyes, but she didn't dare show her "girly" emotions in front of the testosterone filled guys.
Before she climbed off into the raft, she pushed her way through the crowd to get to her dad, and gave him the biggest hug she could muster, the only time she would ever do so. He gave one in return and when they pulled away, he grabbed her by the shoulders and stared deep into her eyes. "Now Freya, I want you to get in as much trouble, or cause as much trouble as you can, o.k? My only restriction is no lovers! I'll have their head if I find out they touched my little girl!" he ordered, raging to the unsuspecting future man in Freya's life.
Freya only smiled and replied, "Don't worry dad, no guy can ever handle me!"
Her father chuckled and pulled out his sword and sheath from his belt, handing her the black ornate weapon, causing a look of question to form on her face. "This is yours... for now. Use this sword to slaughter that pig we call a king, and when you've finished your mission, take the throne and send word to me, along with the sword," he explained while watching her stare at the sword for a few seconds before placing it in a hiding spot between her back and kimono.
"I promise I'll kill that b*****d," she assured, shortly wiping her face of the serious visage that had been plastered on her features for quite a while. "But enough with this serious talk. I'm off! And don't you scallywags have too much fun without me!" she shouted while sitting down into the raft and glaring at the pirates, telepathically telling them to lower the god damn boat. The crew cheered and laughed as they waved to her while she rowed off towards Bejewled Bay, and when she was barely in view anymore, they shot off a cannon as their last goodbye and sailed away.
"Good luck my dear," her father prayed as he stared at the mainland. "And for gods sake, wreak havoc why don't ya?"

Leo was sitting in his room, tired from waiting for his parents to come and tell him to give up on his dream.
"I have to get out of here," he sighed while standing up and heading towards his window, for he heard his parents on their way to his door. "Well...now...or never," he mumbled as he opened the window and climbed down the wall.
"This will be either the best, or the worst decision of my life. I hope it's the first one," Leo gulped now, and when his foot hit the ground, he ran for it, heading into a random direction knowing he would either reach the market or the shore.

Io kneeled down on the sandy beach, staring at the seashells in the sand. She had a calm smile on her face as she reached down and picked up a shell, looking at it closely, tracing her fingers along each crevice.
"How beautiful..."

Leo finally made it to shore in Bejeweled Bay, but he clumsily fell into the sand ending up with a mouth full of sound.
"Gross!" he muffled while spitting out the sand in a desperate attempt to clean his tongue.
