A Witch's Path (WIP)

Gotcha, however with a transformation that sudden it’s going to take a while for his self-image to catch up to the new reality I think. :sweat_smile:

Yay, though I expect if the mc wants to get a cool car he’ll at least have to obtain a driver’s license first (Americans can still drive at 16, yes?) cause with vision problems that severe I don’t think we’ll have one at the start right?

Also from the fact that we likely don’t grow up wealthy I’m guessing our Aunt is, like our (late) dad, someone who follows the philosophy of the White Coven, which wouldn’t appeal to my mc very much I think after years of being bullied being pretty and rich sounds a lot more attractive. :wink:

No, please keep fashion and I do say this as someone who likes men’s fashion but still has artistically gotten no further than drawing stick-figures.
Besides the fashion club just screams “secret” Night-Coven get-together.

Hey, portal creation! That came out of my mind * self five * . And yes, choosing the clothing should totally be an option. Although, why not drama club? Dude, where is my drama club? …Please? Oh, and I sort of have a question that might be spoiler-y so there is no need to answer it, but if the MC chooses to join the Night Coven, does that mean that the outcome will be the subjugation of humanity no matter what? Or the other way around, does joining the White Coven mean that witches and humans will be singing kumbaya under a rainbow? Because either outcome would feel just way too binary, you know?
And lastly, do we get to choose our personality? 'Cause that would be neat.

I don’t say that any of the clubs should be taken out of the game. I personally would ask to specify the art club to something different tbh. (Theatre or a school band maybe? None of the clubs really is good for performers…) And to add something for the more technical/scientific ijnclined people when possible.

Or just the option to not participate in any of those clubs.

Ooh, yes, theatre/drama club is a good one.

Isn’t participation in some clubs/sports practically mandatory in US highschools?

I wonder if they’ve got an equestrian one, assuming our new highschool is an “elite” one?

Speaking from personal highschool experience mine really did get better, read the bullying diminished and later stopped (almost) completely because I made some friends willing to back me up, after I caved in and joined some of them.

Though of course our mc being the chosen one and not the scholarship charity case would face a vastly different set of circumstances then I did.

No idea. I’m not from the US. But if that’'s the case for MC’s school too I strongly wish for something different as the already existing clubs…(at least a drama club…in that case they certainly would need some people doing the backstage work besides the actors, that could work too for shyer MCs though I still would recommend to add a science club).

The clubs/after school programs I joined were equestrian (at first mostly because none of my bullies were in it and it halved normal pe requirements by counting as a sport) and history, they did have science (mostly math and physics that already went over my head back then) and theatre. In fact there was a fair bit of communication between history and theatre as they used us as basically their research division (historically accurate, or at least as close as we could get to it costuming) and the occasional extra’s.

Secret path? Interesting😃 I just like the idea of having all these super high expectations people would have for my mc then turning around and being like “nah bra”. But seriously the game sounds like it would be awesome even if you choose to go without that option.

Oh I mostly would wish for a science club to cover a rather large subject that is by now missing in the clubs.

My own time in science club was rather short (same with chess though nothing beats the thrilling one time I visited the choir), but asking for a club similar to the one I was part of for pretty much all of my upper classes seems too specifc (For everyone curious: School First Responders seems like an appropriate translation, even when we had a better training as Firts aiders, but I don’t really know what would be the equivalent in US system, EMT-B maybe?).

Well, as long as the love is “forbidden” (but still allowed by the game) purely because the Covens are at war, great :grin:. If the love is “forbidden” because they’re both boys, not so good.

So will we be allowed to pick our race and gender since a lot of fantasy has female/male wizards

You can play as male or female but you will be a Witch no matter the gender you choose. So if you’re a boy you would call yourself a witch.

So I decided to listen to you and the other poster and have changed zoology and gardening to drama and science :blush: I didn’t add drama before cuz… I forgot it was a kind of club :sweat_smile:

Also I thought some more on the mc’s sudden transformation, in our “ugly” appearance were we also extra fat or skinny? Because if so and my guy suddenly has the physique of a fit teen-idol he’s either literally going to burst out of his old clothes, or really, really have hope his belt has enough extra holes in it that he isn’t reduced to holding up his trousers with his hands on the way home immediately after the “incident”. :sweat_smile:
Still overall the unused magic manifesting as “fat” as opposed to keeping us rail-thin would be the less humiliating outcome there. :laughing:

I also find it curious, if rather cool, that all of the excess magic that apparently caused our “old” appearance dissipates in one burst, I’m guessing we’re going to have quite the “incident”. :smiling_imp:

Oh and I guess I forgot to ask in which country this takes place because if it’s the US you can bet my mc would want to get a cool car and motorcycle too, provided of course that we can somehow obtain a license. :wink:

The actor in me thanks you.

Well, a motorbike is basically the modern equivalent of a broomstick, right?

Yep, only much sexier and it provides the perfect reason to wear leather. :wink:

That said, my mc wouldn’t mind having a nice car (or two) too, for the really rainy and/or snowy days, you know. :wink:

To answer some of your questions :blush:
Yup because of your horrible eye sight you have not been able to get your license. I don’t know yet if I will allow your MC to drive hmmm maybe in the second book? And you will be shocked when you see how you really look like. And about your Aunt.

Your Aunt is actually a member of the Night Coven like her sister/your mother. You may not live in a amazing mansion but you do live in a nice house and you often wondered how she pays the bills being a single stay at home parent. She uses magic all the time behind your back. Like for example before a meal you smell the odors of smoke and burnt food. To others these smells are bad but to you they make you hungry because when you eat there is always a 5 star meal waiting for you. She tells you that she always try’s to cook herself but fails so she ends up using magic.

Drat, so how are we going to get to and from school (but mostly anywhere else), both the school bus and having to bike there like a little kid seem decidedly unsexy/uncool options. :cry:
The same would go for being constantly driven by our aunt or having to use taxi’s/uber (if we can even get some in that small town).
Much more than here, where even most people at my “elite” highschool used our fairly decent public transport more often than not, I believe that to the American teen having their own transportation is far more vital and represents a much greater amount of freedom than it does around here (where it’s mainly a money drain in paying the city for the privilege of being able to park it and paying the government much extra taxes).

The school bus in particular would seem like a dreadful option to our mc’s who are used to being bullied after all.

Yes it was a great idea you had and thanks for suggesting it :blush: I’m sure you will have fun jumping through portals. To answer your question about choosing your personality, yes you will be able to choose. And about the prophecy of what happens when you choose a Coven:
I will just say this! There is more to the prophecy then anyone realizes.

Lol well remember how both covens desperately wants you to join there coven? The members are more than willing to drive you around. The Night coven will drive you in a luxurious car while the White coven will drive you in a mini van :sweat_smile:. Hmmm maybe they might even give you the car? They do want you to join after all :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
