Throughout the recorded history, people, heroes in stories, had strange powers. Though these powers weren't like magic. They didn't make any sense... There were some magic that could manipulate the truth and logic. Of course, back when how to use complex magic wasn't understood yet, people discovered these powers and started mastering them by methods of try-and-fail. Some people created ways to learn how to use their powers more efficiently. As time progressed, spells became more complex and people started understanding the nature of their powers. Most villages and cities have factions and guilds filled with extraordinary people, be it to find treasure or to hunt people down.

Welcome to the "Youth of Arcanus" RP!
The first city is Arcanus, the city in which three guilds, including "The Fleece Seekers" -or "The Fleece" for short- ,a guild of treasure hunters who search for ancient magical artefacts, their rivals, "Steel Guardians", and the "Crimson Hand" -a group of mercenaries- reside. While this city is large and well populated, cities like the Capital and Altus contain 10 guilds each.

Name Aiden Rose Age 16 Gender Male Equipment Spear, bow and arrow, bag, cups and marbles. Guild N/A Powers Super Speed This ability allows Aiden to reach superhuman speeds, sometimes almost completely disappearing from sight. However, his reflexes and eyes don’t allow him to use this ability to its full potential. While he could train his other senses to help his ability, it would take long training sessions for which this boy has no patience. Barrier Control This ability allows Aiden to create small barriers, as big as his body at most, to either surround his weapons or to protect himself. The larger the barriers are, the easier they can be broken through.
-Trigger: Putting his hands together and creating a barrier around him (takes 10 seconds) -Maximum length of use One hour each -Length of time needed to reuse it Half an hour -Consequence of use Unbelievable pain and strain. If the user continues using their powers after an hour, their lives would be lost in a matter of minutes. Personality He’s a generally out-going and deceitful boy when it comes to earning money. Otherwise, he’s a shy, kind and caring kid. Backstory Aiden used to live in a small village. He lived with his mother and brother, neither of whom had any powers. Aiden discovered his powers at a young age and started practicing it. He kept reading books of adventures and legends throughout his childhood, reading how people went on adventures before him. When he turned 14, he left his home, taking some of his mother’s money. He started robbing people using tricks to beat them in gambles and travelling. Today, at the age of 16, he arrived at the city Arcanus, hoping to find more preys.
