Alone, scared, the dark is clawing for his soul.
A boy, please help, aid or he will pay the toll
The boy, chased by terrors, creatures of the night
The dark, it must perish, 'fore devour's all in sight.

James was brought up by a father who was the the heir to a secret. For seventeen generations, his family had held possession of a book known only as The Rune Archive . Within said book, magic is made possible. and the runes gathered in its pages can make the bearer a powerful person indeed. James was taught from birth by his father to protect the book at all costs and studied its power, eventually memorizing it to the point where he no longer needs it to carve any rune necessary for his magic.
At the age of nine, however, disaster struck, when a group of occultists murdered James' father and tried to steal the book. In a panic, James burned the book in order to keep the occultists from its secrets and fled. For the past two years now, he has been on the run, avoiding large cities and trying to discover more about the occultists who murdered his father. As well as discovering that they are the least of his problems, as something darker is at work, Hunting him.

At this point the basic plot I'm going for is that while James is looking for answers, he encounters a woman who is also familiar with the world of magic. She could be a hunter of dark creatures(a la supernatural) a government paranormal investigator, or something else that fits with the environment. (I'm open to ideas if you have them).
Anyway, as I was expositing, This woman would encounter James, and after some discussion and probably an encounter with something crazy and evil, would take him with her, acting as a surrogate sibling/parent. Helping him to discover the true purpose of the Occultists, who killed his parent.

I'm really looking for a 1X1 type of story, something that can be worked on for a long time to come.

I'd be interested Not sure how easily they might the lore but I woudl be happy to use a version of one of my characters named Jackie(I use Jenny too much). If you're wanting info on her, look on the page Titled 'Jake' n this profile. The character I'd liek to use is basically a female version of that character.

Yeah I'm looking for something a little easier to integrate. Also a bit more in line with the tone I'm trying to set up. Straight up humans as opposed to humanoids too.

I have a character who I think would be perfect for this plot and I really like the story line as well.

Which one?

I could try having a human Jackie if you want.

I could use Airlia potentially ^^" I could set ER up for a more modern setting

Mind going a bit more magical with a friendly shadow-walker?

To be honest I was hoping to be able to rp with a character that was already contemporary. Changing a character from a medieval or other time period always gets weird any time I've tried it. If a character is made to work in a certain era then they should stay there. (_unless the character was intended to time travel by the author from the get go). This does mean that I am looking for a more narrow list of types of people to rp with however. And the biggest requirement for that is that your character shouldn't have to have radical changes made to fit in the world we create. It should be fluid and organic. Not like stuffing sonic the hedgehog in with the transformers. See what I mean? Its too much of a genre departure to make sense and that's how I feel about rp.

Was that ↑ to me or Eon?

To the general public. So both

Oh, well I'm good with any time period. I just like my robes.

Sorry archer. Also not what I'm looking for.

oh, ok...
