PLANNING POST FOR A MAGICAL THING IN WHAT IF
We're doing a what if. OM is magical in the what if.
We have witches and wizards and shape shifting familiars. Apprentices and normal towns folk making hats asking for magical help from wizards. Royalty that takes the advice of Wizards very seriously
Familiars- Have an animal self and a human self. You were born this way, and for the purposes of serving a Witch or a Wizard. You may not be the best at helping out, or maybe you're just have a lot of independence but for better or worse you are spiritually connected to a wizard/witch out there and you need to do your job.
Magic Folk/Apprentice- You are highly regarded in the kingdom, you cure the sick, advise the royals, make magical machines to make life better. But you didn't come to be this way on your own. At some point in your life you've decided to be this way you decided to go to Magic university to learn how to become so powerful. As any other craft there are apprenticeships. Wizards get their first familiars during training
Royalty You're royals you ask for wizarding people's council and tax your towns people
Towns people- Do you boo. Baker, match stick maker, hatter, banker, mother,father,baby. You pay taxes and eat things, that's cool.
THE WORLD: So if you are unfamiliar with Howl's Moving Castle (the movie) slap yourself...I kid!(but really) It's okay the world is based on this place and honestly it looks like Tea House World. No cell phones no computers. Maybe not even electricity, maybe all energy is created by magic! There are Doctors but usually they prescribe potions.
So now that you guys have a picture of what's going on you can plan out your characters! And if you have questions let's work through them.
