**UPDATES**
1. I do now ask that you give credit where credit is due. So if you end up using it, I'd like just a simple mention in whatever way you'd like to put it (it's all coming outta my mind anyways!). Thanks!

2. I'm expanding to creating basically anything along with character items (spells, characters, side characters, small realms, etc.). If this will have any use or not I don't know, but I figured I'd offer it regardless.


In the RP world there are many characters that are actually fairly average, except for the special item they posses that lends them amazing power. Even characters that already have extraordinary power draw more from these special items.
With my mind yearning for some creativity, and possibly the fact that I need a small break from overwhelming amounts of homework, I am offering the well-developed creation of these special items. I will figure out what it does, roughly how it looks (because of my very poor art skills a rough drawing will be given at most), its history, flaws, and most importantly; its powers.

Please answer the following questions so that I can create the type of item you wish!
Question One: What sort of item do you wish to receive (weapon, armor, scroll, etc.)? What genre is it?

Question Two: Are the powers of this item good, neutral, or evil? If unknown, or undecided, put down 'not applicable' or 'N/A'.

Question Three: Do you have a story you wish the item to fit into? If yes, what is it (you can pm or link this)? If no, a background story will be generated for it from scratch)

Question Four: What character is this for? If this is not for a character, please state so.(This question does not apply if you are answering these under the name of another character.)

Example Product: Griffon Pardoner's Purification Cup

Throughout the world there exist three types of enchanted stone cups that posses the power to transmute the substance inside. One of these, and also the most common of these irreplaceable artifacts, is the purification cup. The intricate markings along the rim and base of the cup hold an enchantment made of old magic that cleanses the substance it holds inside, making it harmless to drink. This item is most commonly used by adventurers to keep their thirst quenched without relying on heavy water skins, and Kings who use it to make sure their drink holds no poison before they consume it.

Although the magic these cups hold is strong enough to resist disenchantment that would allow mages to learn how to replicate it, the enchantment used seems to reside in the intricate markings that line the cup. As the condition of the cup deteriorates, the strength of the magic decreases, which increases the time it takes to clean the liquid it holds. Any full break in the ringed markings renders the cup useless, for the enchantment is broken.

(( got to do this for Enya's armor =D ))

Question One: armor / Fantacy

Question Two: Good.

Question Three: She got her armor the day she was knighted.

Question Four: Enya

(( FYI the only thing it can really do is shift with her so say she turns into a wolf her armor forms to fit what she turns into. Hope this is ok i been needing help with this =) ))

Something linked to magic or having a history in the releam of witches.(like it was used in some great war and was used by the great and powerful blah, blah, blah.)

This would be for my witch Moriah Blackstone.

If you would be so kind, it would be better if it would match her in the way of her style. Moriah is generally dressed in black due to her having dark auburn hair, bright green eyes, and pale white skin.

Awesome, figured out what I am doing for both if them, hall start working in then!
Awesome! Can't wait to see what you common up with. ^_^
Storm Herdale (played by Zephyrezz)

Question One: What sort of item do you wish to receive (weapon, armor, scroll, etc.)? What genre is it?

Weapon, preferably a knife or sword. Fantasy genre.

Question Two: Are the powers of this item good, neutral, or evil? If unknown, or undecided, put down 'not applicable' or 'N/A'.

Neutral for the most part, but the powers could become out of control.

Question Three: Do you have a story you wish the item to fit into? If yes, what is it (you can pm or link this)? If no, a background story will be generated for it from scratch)

The only detail I wish you be able to include in the story is that the sword/ knife comes from her home land and has a link to controlling her powers. Otherwise you can make up the background story.

Question Four: What character is this for? If this is not for a character, please state so.(This question does not apply if you are answering these under the name of another character.)

Alright, taking a break from homework to get these in! I have them listed in order below. At this time there are no rough sketches, I have not had time. If by some chance I am able to do so later I will see if I can get one to you. If you have a keen desire to know what it looks like outside of the description I give it, then please let me know and I will work on a rough sketch as soon as I can.

For Enya (played by Sweetyceltic):The Altering Armor

In ancient times there was a small, but mighty, kingdom of shape-shifters. With their race imbued with already enough magic to change their shapes at will, mages, wizards, and all other sorts of magic wielders became popular. Although the kingdom crumbled as a result of nomadic feral werewolf raids, and the slaughter of shape-shifters that ensued, several artifacts have survived.

One of these, the Altering Armor, was a prized possession to the shape-shifters, and the werewolves that owned it thereafter. These rare pieces of armor were given to the royal guard of the shape-shifter kingdom when they were knighted. Whenever a shape-changer of any sort (were's, shape-shifters, vampires, etc.) changed their form while wearing the armor, the armor changed with them. This armor kept the knights protected at their most vulnerable point, and protected them when beast or man.

To distinguish knights from one another, an enchantment was added to the sleek, silver toned armor. In the breatplate, centered over the sternum, was a small circle that would hold a single gem. As a gem was placed inside, the enchantment would hold it in place, also turning parts of the armor the same color as the gem it now held. This was actually used to display the color that represented its valiant bearer, and is still rarely used, and rarely works, unless the bearer him/herself proves to be valiant.

After these items were looted, the went directly to those who lead the werewolf clan. As time passed on, and several were destroyed, only a select few would be able to ever be granted one of these suits of armor. Usually a werewolf would have to deserve it with no doubt, or they would have to be well connected.



For Moriah Blackstone (played by Kurosakuranbo14): The Whiplash Dagger (aka- hatred's form)

Not all witches have been great at naming things. This is why we have things like 'hocuspocus' and 'bubble bubble, toil and trouble'. This is also who a powerful dagger was originally named the whiplash dagger, later to earn the name hatred's form.

Passed down generation to generation, this blade holds the power to temporarily give the magic of its wielder tangible form. Drawing from the witch's mana, the dark-toned metal dagger can create an energy-like burst that blasts a short distance forward when slashed with. The more powerful the magic of the bearer, the sharper, and therefor more dangerous, the spurt of tangible magic is. This ability, the dark-toned metal, its black hilt, and red accent give it a wicked look.

As powerful as this blade is, it has two drawbacks. The first of these is that its own power relies on that of its bearer. That means that if a weak magic user wields it, there will only be a dull attack that does still deliver a crushing attack, but does not do nearly that which a powerful bearer could do with it. The second drawback is how it achieved its alternate name. While the blade connects with the wielder's magic, it also connects with the wielder's emotions. Most emotions do not do anything to the dagger, except anger. When the wielder loses his or her temper, the blade has been known to fire off when they are most angry, causing terrible damage. In order to truly master the blade, one must master them self.

note: after I named it the whiplash dagger, I decided I did not like it all that much. This made me decide to give it the next name that came to mind, hatred's form. Because of its wicked sound, I decided I would let them balance each other out and have it be up to the bearer what it is called.
Whoa Thanks!!
Oh my goodness! I love what you created. It is awesome and I like the drawbacks, it seems to show that it won't cause the user much damage. I am going to put it up on her profile in a moment. ^_^

No problem! I've had yours on my mind since the start. The newest part was the ancient kingdom, which I came up with today. I figured you may like to exercise some creative elements with it in your RPs so I added the color changing. The morphing was at request, and was a brilliant idea!

Have either of you any critiques to keep in mind for the next set I craft?

Glad you like it! I spend a lot of time coming up with things like this (you should see the journal I have for it).
Can I sign up for another. :)

Of course, I'll try to get to them tonight.
Mia Harris (played by Zephyrezz)

Question One: What sort of item do you wish to receive (weapon, armor, scroll, etc.)? What genre is it?

A locket of sorts, with a special meaning. Fantasy Genre.

Question Two: Are the powers of this item good, neutral, or evil? If unknown, or undecided, put down 'not applicable' or 'N/A'.

Neutral.

Question Three: Do you have a story you wish the item to fit into? If yes, what is it (you can pm or link this)? If no, a background story will be generated for it from scratch)

Just that locket makes the user immune to silver as long as he/ she is wearing it. Other then that to wild with the backstory.

Question Four: What character is this for? If this is not for a character, please state so.(This question does not apply if you are answering these under the name of another character.)

Mia Harris
Question One: Armor - Fantasy please <3

Question Two: Eeeeeeeeeviiiiiiiiiiiiiiil!

Question Three: N/A

Question Four: Don't have a character for it. Hoping this'll inspire a new character ;)
Mia Harris (played by Zephyrezz)

Lol, I think you put Moriah instead of Mia. Lol. I just wanted to let you know 'cause I didn't see Mia up there and Kuro didn't ask for another (that I know of)
Inkliest Topic Starter

She messaged me about it. I fixed the list. Replying to RPs and then posting items! All will be done tonight.
Mia Harris (played by Zephyrezz)

KK, sorry for bugging.

No problem, I need to get back on track with these!
