The Looking Glass League | Open and Accepting

The Story:

After almost 150 years of peace in Wonderland the Royal Suits are at war once more. This time, the stakes are higher than ever. The Diamond Queen and Princess have been found murdered in their beds, presumably by the Jack of Spades who was carrying out the orders of the King of Spades. The Kingdom of Spades denies this claim and has declared war against the Kingdom of Diamonds. The Kingdom of Hearts owes its allegiance to the Spades but finds itself fighting for the Diamonds instead, making it a third warring party. The Kingdom of Clubs has declared neutrality but is illegally trading arms with all three aggressors.

The Looking Glass League, a legendary League sworn to keep peace among all four Kingdoms of Wonderland, said to have been created by Alice herself during the initial time of need, must rise to protect the Kingdoms from destroying each other. Legend says that this league possesses the power and might to keep all four Kingdoms at bay. Unfortunately, the Looking Glass League has vanished and is nowhere to be found.

Eight youths, two from each Kingdom, have been sent by elders who remember and uphold the Legend as truth, and have begun the search for the elusive Looking Glass League. The journey will take them across a war torn Wonderland where everything and everyone has chosen a side to defend with their life. However, they are not helpless, as they each excel at their Kingdom specific magic, an art taught widely throughout the four Kingdoms but rarely mastered. This unique magic will support them and drive them towards their goal.

Name: Susan "Suze" Owen.

Age: 16

Suit Affiliation: Club Mage

Personality: Susan is very sweet and shy. She doesn't talk too much, but she's very brave on the inside. Suze takes time to get along with everyone, though once she's comfortable, she's very happy with them. She really never gets into trouble but is very clumsy. Susan also talks about the most random things and it takes time for people to believe her. In general, she is a very different girl.

Likes:

Susan likes art and reading. She very much writes perfect poetry and for occasions, she writes the speech's for the king and queen. Art is something that has always been her passion. Her books are always of her drawings and stitching. She also knows palmistry. She likes to use only peaceful demonstrations but she can handle a few violence. She loves to write romantic novels the most. She listens to only pop music and melodies.
Dislikes:

All attitude people. She absolutely hates them and people who get short-tempered every time. She also isn't a big fan of watching movies. Suze hates noisy people. So, when she's anytime sleeping, she can't sleep with the noise around her.

Appearance:

Spoiler

Susan has a natural color of brown hair and eyebrows. Her eyes are round & big which in the color of whitish-grey. Suze has always had this attraction toward pearls and would do anything to wear of pearls. Like in the picture, she's wearing an original pearl earring. She has rosy-pink lips and an oval face. Susan isn't so fashionable, but in whatever she wears, it always stuns her out. She likes to wear casual and simple ones. Like a sleeveless top and a short, shorts. Susan is around 5"7.

Strengths/ Weaknesses: Strengths:
Susan is very strong, brave and confident young lady. If you have handed her a quest to finish, she won't come back until she has finished. Also, she has an ability to make a person understand about a certain situation. She is also amazingly powerful with water. Meaning, she knows how to surf, swim, etc. just like a champion.

Weaknesses:

As told before, she doesn't get along with people too fast. She takes her own sweet time, and gets along. And Susan can get disturbed easily so, try not to upset her too much. She also, stresses a little too much.

Weapon:
She hangs around with a small box which contains maybe of a million tiny bombs. They're very explosive and even one, can kill 3 people at a time. Susan also has a swiss knife at her back-pocket. She also carries around chili powder with her. (sometimes.)

History: Susan is from a very rich family, and her father always wants her to do something useful. During childhood, her parents haven't really given her the support she actually needed. As she grew up, she was left to help the King and Queen of Diayia Kingdom. She became happier living with them. So, actually, Childhood was Darkness, but when she came in to Diayia Kingdom, it was like Light had entered her life. Also, she was very brave and confident which made her control matters of her Life. Later on, she started reading ancient books that contained of magic spells and soon, she tried them. Some didn't work, but she knew it wouldn't be written in the book, if the spell didn't work. With hardwork, she built the power of the magic, and at the end, they worked! That's why she was appointed as a Club Mage.

Other: Up for love.

Claiming a male Heart mage- profile in construction.

Name: Cynwrig “Cyn” Warin

Age: 17

Suit Affiliation: Hearts

Personality: Cyn learnt very early on in life that you can tell a lot about a person by simply watching them. From then on, Cyn watched, drinking in everything he could about people. Being a manipulative one, Cyn will usually use that against them in the future.

He's very intelligent and a fast learner. In fact, the faun is a little obsessed with facts. He considers himself a collecter of knowledge, and has more than a hundred random, useless facts stored away in his brain. As this shows, he has a very good memory for details.

Appearance: Cyn’s dark, curly hair overshadows a pair of intelligent green eyes, an upturned nose and a mouth normally frowning in concentration. He has brown skin with a distinctive olive tint. His overall appearance is very Mediterranean, with the exception of the two black horns sprouting from his forehead.

Cyn normally goes bare-chested, as at his waist a pair of goat legs begins. These are also black, but are distinctly shaggier than his hair. He’s incredibly proud of his cloven hooves, and has developed a habit of polishing them whenever he’s sitting down, a habit that annoys his peers.

He's quite skinny- veering towards the matchstick, and has a larger-than-average mouth that earned him the childhood nickname of Flycatcher.

Strengths/Weaknesses: Strengths: Cyn is very intelligent- he can easily see things from someone else’s point of view, and anticipate their actions, which usually gives him an advantage in combat. And despite being physically weak, he knows how to use an opponent’s weight to his advantage. He's particularly good at keeping calm under pressure.

Weaknesses: He’s hesitant to act- sometimes too much. He also has a tendency to over-complicate things. He’ll pick up on tiny details, but will miss blindingly obvious facts. Cyn is also quite insecure and unsure of himself, which is one of the reasons he hesitates to act. He knows how to manipulate people to get what he wants, and often does. Cyn is also a slight coward, and much prefers flight to fight.

Combat: Cyn fights with a sword, which he normally uses in conjunction with his magic. While not physically strong (as stated earlier) Cyn is very crafty. He’ll avoid conflict if he at all can, but will dive right into it if there’s no getting around it. (Again, as stated earlier) Cyn knows how to use an opponent’s weight against them. He tends to block their attacks without attacking himself until he has an idea of how they fight, then Cyn tries to take advantage of any weaknesses his opponent has.

History: Like all fauns, Cyn is the son of Pan. His mother was a hedge-witch named Olendi Warin, who happened to come across him while gathering herbs for her potions.

Pan isn't exactly evil, but he definitely isn't benevolent. He sees most non-fauns as inferior beings, to take advantage of.

Olendi was driven mad by her encounter with him, and when she stumbled back home, she found that her insanity had given her access to previously untapped sources of power. She made a living from her strange magic, healing travellers, making love spells, and doing anything for anyone for the right price. Most of it was smoke and mirrors, but there were times when Olendi had need of her true gifts.

When Cyn came along, it was a complete surprise. Still, she taught him all she knew. Throughout Cyn's childhood, she was always frustrated with his inaptitude, which led Cyn to doubt himself.

Cyn supported his unstable mother throughout her life, and though she never really cared for hima s a mother should, she was all Cyn had ever had, and he truly loved her. He was twelve when she succumbed to a disease and passed away.

Distraught and unable to bear staying a moment longer in his mother's house, Cyn gathered a few supplies, and ran off into the forest, his only plan to find some sort of civilisation. Once a few miles into the forest, he met one of his half-brothers, Lorse. Lorse, the elder by seven years, took Cyn under his wing, and taught him how to survive in the wilds of Wonderland. Lorse also taught Cyn to hate and look down on non-fauns.

However, one day, when out hunting for himself and his half-brother, Cyn saw one of Wonderland's other inhabitants, the Cheshire Cat.

Fascinated by this strange being, Cyn began to wonder about the world outside the forests where he'd lived all his life. What it was like, what more he could learn about magic.

A few months after that, a pair of Black Knights attacked their camp. Mistaken for enemy chess pieces, Lorse was killed and Cyn taken captive.

The pair of Black Knights travelled with Cyn as prisoner for several weeks, until they reached the capital of the Heart Kingdom. There, Cyn escaped and claimed sanctuary in a college of magic.

After the misunderstanding had been cleared, Cyn enrolled as a pupil, and started learning more about the magic he'd only glimpsed as a child. it was an initial shock, learning about his Heart magics, but even more so when Cyn realised that he was talented. His mother had always been saying how bad he was at magic, so Cyn was gobsmacked when other students struggled with what he found easy. He studied there for years, and by that point, his loyalty to the Hearts was secured.

Wile studying, Cyn established a close relationship with a certain teacher. She was the one who first helped him escape the chess pieces, and taught him most of what he currently knows. Her name was Edena, and she was an elderly unicorn, plagued by arthritis, but still with a fiery spirit. Edena was one of the elders who still believed in the Looking Glass League.

Other: Just a post-history personality note. Cyn haas lost nearly everyone he ever got close to in life. As a result, he doesn't trust easily, and prefers to take his own chances. If he does become close to somebody, he will be very protective (and very annoying, most likely.)

I'll take the female Spade Mage please ~

Name: Holly 'Shrub' de Chartres
Age : 18
Suit Affiliation: Spade

Personality: Holly is a sweet girl, with a slight inferiority complex. She can be loyal and brave, but sometimes she can be downright rude and insulting, even to her closest friends. She does not like to see anything or anyone in pain, and she has a short fuse. Once she snaps, it is difficult to calm her down, though she's usually very rational. She likes playing games and pranks, and is naturally mischievous by nature, going to any lengths to set up the perfect prank.
She dislikes being called short, bullies, and anyone who sets her off gets a taste of her.

Appearance: Holly is short for her age, having short blonde hair and light skin. She prefers to wear short sleeved clothes with short-shorts most of the time. She usually wears a pair of Vans as her footwear.


Strengths/Weaknesses: Holly prefers to use a short staff made of ash and maple wood.
She is generally pretty good at distance combat, close range combat being her weakness. She has a good grasp over her elemental powers, and her animal manipulation powers are perfect - or close to, anyways.
Her major weakness is that she loses control over her powers the minute she loses her cool.

History: Holly is a bit of a wildchild. Being the third in a family with four children, she didn't have any special talent, normdidnshe really stad out. Her inferiority complex arose from the fact that she was the shortest of all her siblings, even her younger sister. She decided to learn magic as an act of rebellion, since her family had a strict policy against wielding it. She was not supported, even though she topped her classes in magical stuies - both practicay and theoretically. Angered and saddened, she left her home. She hates the war and doesn't want anything whatsoever to do with it.

Other: She has an owl named Snow that follows her everywhere.

Name: Orion Woods
Age: 18
Suit Affiliation: None

Strengths/Weaknesses: He has studied in every possible subject from every kingdom, knows how to cast every spell in the book mainly prefers the use over fire,light, and darkness. and prefers a duel weild of short swords, adgile he could take on many opponets at once. His only flaw is quick exsuation from using spells, if he doesn't use any and sticks to using his blades. Then it's unlikely he'll be beaten. And his only other weakness is a mental breakdown from the scaring he suffered in his early childhood. He also likes to calls his short swords "Odin's Twins" becauses there odin blades.
History: Came to wonderland at the age of ten his parents were killed in a brutal robbing. He became scared mentally for it, now he feels that becoming the ruler of all of wonderland would end the ceaseless violence. He went from kingdom to kingdom learning how each used there own magic and weapons from different teachers who he eventually killed off in the end. Now he currently acts as the King of Spades advisor planning to make spades the dominate kingdom in the war. He is also very much aware that The Looking Glass League will make a return to stop the kingdoms from fighting, so he'll be forced to confornt The Looking Glass League at one point. And his real name was never released to anyone except those in the inner circle and publiclly goes by "The Advisor"
Other: He may not survive the war so it's unlikely he's up for love, but maybe someone from the inner circle could change that. Also keeps his blades on him at all times not once do they ever leave his side. And is capable of giving his swords a certain element during a fight in the case he needs to use an element while fighting.

The eight people, eight of the most talented and well-trained mages in Wonderland, gathered in the Grey Forest. It took after it's name as everything about it seemed to possess a slight grey tinge that dulled out even the brightest leaves and flowers. It was also called Grey for another reason, it was the only neutral zone in all of Wonderland. It used to be a part of the Spade Kingdom, but a disease wiped out all of its inhabitants and nobody wanted to care for it, least of all the Spade Kingdom. Now, hundreds of years later, it was, perhaps, the source of another world changing event, but perhaps in a different sense of the word.

They each held a letter, delivered to them by the Elders of their teachings, who convened to confirm the belief of a League that had the power to bring world peace. But only these people, immune from a military draft and from the suspicious eyes of Kingdom spies, could find them. The letters read;

To the generation who remains untouched by the harsh prejudices and blind misconceptions that started this war of hate, set aside your inhibitions. Let your heart guide you to what is true and this truth will save us all. Remember that it is not what Suit you wear that defines you, nor anyone else. Meet in the Grey Forest, the last place the League was known to meet, and from there, use your magic to guide you.

The people had agreed to set aside their differences and now met each other in the Forest. One had drawn the others to a sign carved into a dying tree.

"As long as this tree lives, Wonderland exists in peace. If it should die, Wonderland dissolves into chaos."

A Spade had been drawn underneath, the sign of a spade mage who had created a visual representation of the condition of Wonderland from a tree that was so deeply rooted into Wonderland that it seemed to be able to recognise the state Wonderland was in. Below it was a hastily sketched flower that looked as if it were singing.

"The Flower Garden, of the singing flowers." A spade mage whispered, recognising the flower. "It indicates that location, we should go there. But the flowers have a split allegiance with the Kingdom of Spades and Hearts, they're hardly as they were before..why would we go there?"

"I don't know. This whole thing is rather ambiguous." Someone remarked, exasperated.

"It's not like there's a book written about how to find a mysterious organisation that may or may not exist outside of legend," another argued.

"Fine. We'll stay for the night and head there in morning," a stronger voice decided for the group. The other nodded in concurrence and the prepared for the journey ahead.

Cyn Warin | The Grey Forest

It was a cold, grey morning. Almost as grey as the forest that surrounded them. Cyn shuddered and pulled his cloak tighter around him, cursing himself for not having worn a thicker tunic. At least he had some thicker ones in his pack- or did he? Rats. He'd never been very good at this organisation lark. Well, if he didn't, it wasn't exactly going to be a pleasant trip.

Despite himself, Cyn let out a snigger. Lorse would be so ashamed of him right now, all those weeks of teaching, only for him to forget appropriate clothing. Even as he sniggered, Cyn winced inwardly at the other memory of Lorse.

Still, it was best not to dwell on these things.

Already he'd started his observations, and these other mages seemed an interesting folk. Already one of them had started setting up a makeshift camp. All wrong. Cyn could have pointed out exactly where she was going wrong, but no. It was much more amusing to simply watch and wonder what this meant about her upbringing. Maybe somebody else would confront her. It would be interesting to watch how she would react to criticism. And of course, that would be doubly fascinating, because he'd learn something about the confronter as well!

The trees were awfully tightly packed. It was a touch disconcerting, having their spindly arms waving over him. Cyn scoffed. He was a faun, born of the forest himself, and here he was, scared of trees! Even though, there was something awfully... wrong... about them.

Instinctively, Cyn reached out mentally for the emotions of those around him. When he found them, he stopped. Content to merely feel the throb of their energy, a comforting second heartbeat. He wouldn't delve into them, interpreting their meaning. Not yet, anyway. It was far more fun to work it out for himself. When, and only when, he was completely stumped, he would rely on his gifts.

Perhaps later he would whip up a general mood of frustration and watch the sparks fly. Now that would be fun.
