Amarlo you lovely unicorn.  I await your character bio.<br/><br/>Thanks Vondoom for your question,<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">are witches intended to unilaterally follow Hekate and the paradigm of Thelema, or is there room for alternate (potentially false) beliefs?</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>The answer is no... Hekate and the view of Thelema is only one route... but there is only one sort of magick in this setting and the different paradigms or beliefs about it are only different ways to get or use it.  The unifying idea in this story is that magick and physics actually will meet and therefore there are unifying laws between them that are definitely beyond the immediate setting.  Hopefully this make sense to you.  What I mean to say is that there is a lot of room to be creative, but this is a setting that encourages subtlety in the occult.  There are consequences and COSTS for ostentatious usages of magick.  Essentially, the setting assumes there's a reason why the modern age has disregarded the occult and I invite you to develop reasons why.  (additional lore is available too)<br/><br/>edit: dear vondoom, I have read the jack of fables and am aware of the other associates in addition to the crossover with unwritten (of course bigby is on the cover).  I think you might have nailed my feels for this group roleplay.  It is essentially fables + hellboy.<br/><br/>so @#$#@% excited to rp with you guys!!
