I am interested. Give me a day and I can post a character.
A few questions - Are you going to let people be werewolves or vampires, witches and warlocks? I want to know whether or not the magic is REAL of simply IMPLIED, like it were at the time.
Also, since it's well after reformation time, I believe that superstition would be significantly less widespread than in the 15th century. It's still there, but the pope no longer has ultimate power and authority, and witch hunts are much less common.
Sure you can be all of those, but the idea is those 'races' were human at one point. If someone wanted to be, for example, an actual demon from hell, then it's up for discussion. Hell, you could be a cannibal if you want.TheIronRuler said:
The magic is real. Voodoo is a good example. It's not flashy, but it's supernatural.
My history is greatly lacking, but I meant to edit that this is -not- a historically accurate RP in the sense of political and religious establishments. Need to make a few edits. Feel free to post a sheet.

Done.
Name: Andrei Moshonov
Gender, Race: Male.Son of a Witch, Alchemist.
Age: 37
Appearance: Short brown hair and a dark left eye, his right eye socket is covered with a grey eye-patch. Behind it lies a maggot infested bloated eye which belongs to the one eyed demon, a gift which allows Andrei to see beyond men and beyond things. He wears leather boots and trousers, a belt with various tools and a couple of vials on it. He carries a large satchel he hangs from his side which is filled with various vials and bottles of different ingredients and potions. He carries around a composite short bow and a quiver of ten short arrows attached to his belt. A small knife, one end jagged and the other very sharp rests on his right hip, attached to his belt.
Weapons: Short composite bow, small knife. An assortment of potions that can enhance Andrei's perception and endurance, including night vesion. The eye of the Demon, which allows Andrei to see certain types of evils
Back story: Born in a hut in a small village in Poland, Andrei saw his father off when he was four and never met him again. He perished in the war against the Russians. He fled with his mother and older brother from the marching armies when he was eight and headed west, avoiding Russian and Swedish troops. They stopped at the border with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, settling there and trying to lead their life peacefully.
But Andrei's mother couldn't be left alone. She was often heckled and regarded as a witch, even after she had left the lands of Poland the local populace remained the same ignorant folk. Ointments from plants became demon's gifts and herbal brews turned out to be the devil's spit. His older brother began hunting in the forest under the guidance of a local poacher, and he then taught Andrei how to hunt.
One expedition into the wild forest ended badly. Locals, enraged by the old woman's supposed contact with the devil began threatening the boys, but then decided to end it all and see if the woman could bring her sons back to life. They hunted the duo down and hit both Andrei and his brother. When Andrei's brother appeared at their mother's doorstep, he was already spent. He would die a few hours later from a loss of blood, an arrow sticking out of his stomach. He kept himself on his feet so he could return Andrei home that was injured relatively easily. He had lost his right eye and an arrow pierced his right arm, his mother quickly began to treat both of her sons.
Crying out for assistance in her time of misery, she agreed to a bargain. The life of Andrei's brother could not be spared, but Andrei could still be saved. The demon allowed his mother to borrow his eye and give it to Andrei for safekeeping, as long as his mother would give her eye to him for safekeeping. After recovering from his wounds, Andrei confronted those that killed his brothers and destroyed their lives. Answering the call of the one eyed demon, Andrei looked at him with his maggot infested, pulsating right eye and smiled. He and his mother would learn many great things from him, and with such knowledge they travelled Bohemia, peddling real magic and alchemy.
After his mother's demise, Andrei left the business of a traveling salesman and began to wander the wastes, seeking the guidance of the one eyed demon once more, the eye a reminder of his mother's debt and his gratitude to the demon.
Skill: Cooking ? Alchemy. (Also working with animals ? gutting, butchering, tanning hide).
Modifiers: (I don't know yet).

It's good, though it might not work too well having you so physically conspicuous.avouleance2nd said:
Would you be able to hide the fact you're a harpy? We're going for subtlety here.
