The fundamental principle of all learned men and women, is that if it can be tested, it is worth testing, and if you it cannot, it is not worth thought. However, throughout history had harnessed the power of the occult without this idea: destructive storms summoned in an instant, materials transformed without reason, and the dead brought back to life miraculously. Now with the Enlightenment, that fundamental principle is finally applied to the mystic powers of this Earth.

Among them are famous scientists like Newton, Descartes, and Fontenelle. But let's not forget the first among them, the great Professor Anderson De'Lourve! He is most famous for his many papers on the runic language use to construct the golems of ancient Israel, but his contributions do not end there. From alchemy to divination, he seeks the truth behind all magic. In a grand attempt to consolidate his legacy in a great work he has undergone a grand encyclopedia of occult matters.

This massive undertaking has placed him in need of apprentices, something he has not had in a long time. Now you can seize this rare opportunity. You were able to meet with him, and he seems to be impressed with whatever background you had. He has agreed to let you use his facilities, benefit from his instruction, and even receive a stipend if you aide him in his great work.

You can acquire the funds, knowledge or fame needed to join the great scientists of history under his tutelage. All you need to do is to help complete...The Grand Encyclopedia of Occult Sciences

Well that was a long opening, but I hope you guys liked it. This rp is about a version of earth were magic, mostly all magic, is real and is now being studied alongside traditional sciences in the European Enlightenment. This RP is about working for Professor De'Lourve to complete his encyclopedia. In game-play terms you have to spend a good portion of your day basically doing whatever he says, but you have autonomy at other times. While an easy goal is to promote yourself as a scientist to succeed him, you can simply set whatever you goal you want for yourself and play accordingly. Romance, wealth, vengeance, whatever you want.

Up to four people can play, but only one other person is needed. I assume two other players will be the most fun an ideal. If you are interested post here and we can do a short opening vignette through message before group play. It is the interview that landed you the apprenticeship. It is a good way to explore both our characters, plus negotiate some nice perks for game play.

I might have the key to the door that's blocking your progress...

Glad to see you are interested. Do you want to go over the opening vignette through private message or do you want to wait and see who else is playing?

The latter

How long do you want to wait for more people? We can get started at any time.
