Open Playing With Fire.

Hell on Earth.
This is a magical world. (Magic System is pretty much the same from 'Skullduggery Pleasant,' before China became Supreme Mage. (If you don't know the book, I'll give a brief summary here.)

Magic System:
Their are three types of magic. Elementals. Necromancers and Adepts. Elementals, well.. They control the four elements. Necromancers: They can raise the dead, to a certain degree. They control shadows, able to morph them into spears or blades or whatever, In which they can throw at their opponents. Example of this, Protecting yourself with a wall of shadows from an incoming attack
Adepts: This can involve a variety of different magic. Ranging from Teleporters to psychics to Shapeshifters. Pretty much any magic possible is within this range. The most common adept magics are,
Gists: Controlling a purplish-grey demon from within your body, solidifying it outside of your body but it connects to you at all times. Can tear through opponents like butter. Even 30 seconds of it being free though, You will begin to feel extremely tired.
Psychics: Able to see into the future, having a small degree of control over Telepathy and Levitation.
Teleporters: Able to teleport anywhere they've been. They cannot teleport anywhere they have not been. Even if they saw a picture of the place.


Sanctuarys.

Sanctuarys are the 'Palaces.' Multiple of them can inhabit a country, usually residing in the city's of the place. They can have a variety of different looks inside, but are otherwise extremely hidden. They are near-impossible to find unless you know where they are. 'Mortals.' (People without magic.) Do not know about magic. It is a law, that any mortal who was seen magic, They're memory has to be wiped from when they saw the magic, or convinced to make them believe it wasn't real or forget it. Sanctuary's have three things working for them. Sorcerers, Magical folk. Cleavers. Now this is gonna be a sorta hard one. Cleavers are the sanctuary's bodyguards and military rolled into one. The carry scythes and wear grey armour and visors. They are extremely agile, and have near to no emotion. As they have been tested to get rid of everything that makes them human.

Sanctuary's also have detectives. Usually solving cases. (Obviously.)



Sourcerer and Mortal Relationship:

A lot of Sorcerers hate Mortals with a fiery passion, believing that they should rule. This causes disputes between the Sanctuary's and the Mortal hating sorcerer's. They don't reveal magic though, otherwise they know they would be killed.

Sorcerer's history.

1328: A war between sanctuarys and a buncha lunatics who follow the insane gods known as the 'Faceless ones.' Mevolent was their leader, killing millions of Mortals and Sorcerers alike. This war lasted hundreds of years due to sorcerer's extremely long lifespan.


1940: Fun fact! Hitler was controlled by a sorcerer.


Faceless Ones:

Well, here we are! These Insane gods were banished to another reality by the oldest sorcerer's, the 'Ancients.' They developed a weapon called the Sceptre Of the Ancients, which will be relevant in the story, With could turn anything and everything to black dust. It shoots black lightning.



Any questions, Just ask :p
 
Hmmm.... Hmmmmm... To join or to lurk around... that is the question!

Let's see where this thing goes :D A bit of warning, though. I have yet to read Skullduggery so I will rely on what was written above
 
Hmm
Maybe...
If I can spare a character, maybe...
Why'd you have to call them sanctuarys?
 
They are called Sanctuarys because their safe. Usually if their was an attack on the city/town, the Sorcerer's would go their as they are able to withstand a nuclear bomb.

I'm torn between Elemental and Gist -
I'm planning to make an oni mask character -
What do you think?
 
So... Gist is something that you use in short bursts, but is kind of a trump card?
