IntroductionOnce upon a time there was dark wizard by the name of Malachi. Much like Grindelwald, Malachi believes in magical dominance and control over the world. Similar to Voldemort, he would like to rid the magical world of the unworthy. Malachi specialized in ancient magic and sought out the best of the best of the purebloods to be his inner circle. He used them to help build a following, to cause destruction and strife around the wizarding world.
When Malachi discovered the Soul Binding Curse, he used it first on Dean Stewart and Arianna Silver. Drunk on the power, it was apparent that Malachi could not be trusted any longer. Malachi was contained in a magical prison with each of his first followers possessing a key.
Although Malachi was gone, his influence over his circle was not. Charlie would continue to work with the Cremation to rid the world of creatures quietly in the dark. Dean would put forth further efforts with the Pure Eternals and eventually joining the Cremation to rid the world of the mudblood filth. Both parties failed in their efforts just as the death eaters had before them.
The answer was obvious. Unwavering loyalty was not enough. Malachi had been right. The only answer was for their followers to be bound to them to ensure they could not be betrayed. Ana got this and would persuade Charlie to assist. Together they were able to acquire the other three keys and Malachi was released. Pleased with his followers coming to their senses, Malachi bestowed the secrets of the Soul Binding Curse upon Ana and Charlie.
Malachi, Ana and Charlie’s goal is world domination. Malachi is angry, Ana and Charlie are ambitious, the ultimate goal is take over, to have the world bow before them in their rightful places.
The First Victims (15)It was decided that Malachi, Charlie and Ana would each have five followers completely loyal and bound to them. These people will be key players in building their army and be completely devoted to their master while trying to maintain a facade of normalcy for the rest of the world so they are not caught. They will build the army by finding and placing pairs into life threatening situations in which they will need the “assistance” of their master and become bound to their pair. They will experience a lot of internal moral conflict, especially if they are someone lawfully good and wish to see justice for all but ultimately will not be able to break the bonds.
The Second Victims (Unlimited)These are the people who have been selected by the first five victims of Malachi and will be created as “soul mates.” The ultimate goal is that there should be one dominate soul mate (pureblood preferred) with a submissive soul mate who will be controlled by the dominate one. The dominate one will then be controlled and submissive to the will of their leader (this is dependent on who does their soul binding curse). What Malachi, Ana or Charlie wills your pairing to do is up to you but remember the ultimate goal is world domination.
The second victims can be anyone. You may come up with your own situation on how you became victims of Malachi and work with a member in the first victim group to RP this out. Once you require Malachi, Ana or Charlie PM/DM the Lou, Remy or Carman.
Your characters will not know they are under any sort of control.
The Soul Binding Curse - not for general use
This spell binds the soul of one being to the soul of another being (ultimately creating cursed soul mates) and that person to the being casting the spell. The spell is most effective on those who are pure (meaning their souls have not been damaged) but those with impurities (meaning their souls have been damaged through magical acts of violence) are not immune. Each victim will have the mark of Bornoga on their hand. The mark looks like this:
MARK OF BORNOGA Bornaga is the Demon of Power.
Effects of the spell on the two parties include:- a better understanding of each other
- feeling each other’s emotions (good and bad)
- feeling each other’s physical pain
- non-verbal communication
- control over one another (especially if one party is more powerful)
- sharing of each other’s magic
When bound to another person, should one member of the party die, the other will die as well.
The spell must be cast by a third party.
The caster will have total control over the parties involved, though generally unknown (Malachi will know).
It takes a great deal of power to cast this spell.
There is an age limit on casting this spell, no one under the age of 60 can cast this spell.
No one except Malachi, Ana and Charlie knows how to cast this spell currently. Dean, Arianna and Rosie do know of it’s existence though.
Ways to Weaken the Spell – any act of magical violence is damaging to a person’s soul and weaken the effects of this spell but not break the spell entirely. As your soul deteriorates through these acts, you will be able to break some of the holds the spell has over you such control over your bound partner, the sharing of magical abilities, non-verbally communication will be faulty, and the degree in which you feel each other’s physical and emotional pain will slowly decrease.
If one member of the bound party is a Seer or Veela their partner can tap into those abilities but only when they are active. Should the Veela be casting fireballs, their partner will be able to as well and if a Seer is having a vision, their partner will also see the vision. Same goes for Occlumency and Legilimency. This does not include Animagus, Werewolves or Vampires.
Crimes of the VictimsThis can be a list of many things from arson, thief, murder (by non-magical means), impersonation, etc. Plan with your fella Rpers and those involved to come up with some exciting things for Malachi to convince you to do and then send it to Rita for the news.
Magical Law EnforcementYour job in this is to investigate the eventual crimes that will be piling up. Find clues, look for people to arrest, even if they are NPCs and send your findings into Rita Skeeter (this is most important!) so the world will know something is going on. Get creative! Have fun.
Cursebreakers, Unspeakables and HealersYou will all be tasked with the job of discovering the origin of the spell and as much information as you can about it and sharing it with the team. You are all to work together. RP your characters researching and exploring the ruins of ancient civilizations, running into curses and spells and eventually finding old records of magic that could be useful. Eventually you will discover a way to reverse this spell by the creation of what is called the Soul Splincher. This is a magical, medical tool which will function as a surgical device that can split apart two souls. It’s a very tedious process, requires a lot of patience and accuracy and is most effective on people who have not damaged their souls. The more damaged the soul becomes, the harder it will be to split from it’s mate.
The NewsRita Skeeter will be covering the details for this plot and randomly posting updates in the news section. Please send all pertinent information to her so she can follow the crimes and report accurately.
Anyone else with a reporter type character may also write articles to be submitted to the Daily Prophet.
ProfessorsYour task will be to investigate any staff and students at your respective schools that might seem to be behaving differently and then report it to the Magical Law Enforcement Office.
Other CharactersIf you choose to not become a victim, you can participate in other ways such as being a victim of a victim’s crime or witnessing a victim committing a crime or however else you might think of that could contribute. This is very open.
THERE WILL BE NO VIGILANTE GROUPS – if you want to be a hero, join the Magical Law Enforcement Department, become an Unspeakable or a Cursebreaker or help a victim out.
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS IS TO SHARE YOUR PLOTS WITH RITA!
