It has been 2000 years since the war and the defeat of the Dark Lord and prejudice still prevails. Orcs once sided with darkness, now just trying to make an honest living. Elves prosper and became upper class citizens while the rest of the races took up the middle. Faries were regarded as annoying pigeons, centaurs on the police force, all races did what they could to coexist, yet it wasn't a flawless society.<br/><br/>Rumors from Los Angeles about the existence of a wand spread throughout the USA. The Wand and it's Bright owner was covered up officially and the police officers involved were forced to lie on their reports, with the Magic Task Force responsible for the lies. The rumors vaguely recall the Inferni, a rebel group of Elves, trying to use three wands to resurrect the Dark Lord, but their plans were thwarted by the LAPD.<br/><br/>Twenty years later, relations with races once allied with the Dark Lord are still on shaky grounds yet rumors of magic had dwindled. It has been a closely guarded secret that Brights exist, but nothing had been said about people able to use magic without wands. Wands were highly coveted for their ability to grant the wishes of the holder and perform incredible miracles. An ordinary, law abiding civilian would kill their best friend to have one. For that power to be contained in a person with free will, and the control to use that magic freely, would be hunted should the secret get out.<br/><br/>And if should there be two people.....<br/><br/>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Name: Cayde Knight<br/>Age: 20<br/>Height: 6'2"<br/>Weight: 250 Lbs<br/>Race: Human (Wandless Bright)<br/>Appearance:<br/><a class="postlink" href="https://i.imgur.com/QmWnWot.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/>Background:<br/><br/>Cayde never knew his Mother, his father raised him alone for fifteen years working as a firefighter, then he started seeing an Elven woman who took a while to get in Cayde's good graces. It wasn't the fact that she was an Elf or that she was sating his father, but she, at times, would be a little too presumptuous about her role as a paternal figure, not sure on how to help raise a teenager at times, other times staying out of things completely. Cayde didn't see her as a permanent part of their lives until about two years ago when his Father finally married her and she proved to him she wasn't going anywhere. It still took a while to accept her as a parent, but now he sees her as a Mother she never had.<br/><br/>Some people see thier odd mixed family and assume Cayde is half elf, but Cayde was told by his Father that his Mother was Human. It wasn't until his seventeenth birthday that he knew his father was lying, because he had used magic for the first time and revived the family dog after he accidentally ran over it in the driveway when no one was looking. He had heard rumors of magic, wands, and brights, but thought only Elves were only able to use it. He kept it a secret from even his Father, let alone his new mother, who was somewhat familiar with the concept of magic. He knew magic had been outlawed since the 1800's and wanted to keep out of trouble as best he could.<br/><br/>More things started happening around him that he willed to happen and it would. Forgetting his keys, his car would start at the thought of wishing for it hard enough. His wallet would contain bills he knew he didnt have but thought it would be nice if he had another twenty in there for lunch. He had to be careful with his thoughts or he could wish for something big to happen and cause an incident. He didn't want the attention.<br/><br/>He would research everything he could about magic. He used VPN's from home, log in at random coffee shops around LA and libraries. He learned that Brights were very rare and only few wands may exist, but nothing came up about being able to use magic without wands. There was no documented case of something like him happening in history before. Even the Dark Lord himself used a wand.<br/><br/>Twenty years old and he had decided to go to college. He was unsure about what he wanted to do, as his life up to this point had been about trying to keep his secret. It was getting harder and harder every day. He found that listening to music helped keep his mind from wandering too much.  He hoped he could get a decent education in something he liked without getting found out in the process.
