Providences - Learning and Application
________________________________
If your character was guaranteed a Providence when they were created and it hasn't been assigned or is an elphyme with no assigned Providence, you may use this form to have it done.________________________________
Code:
[b]Character[/b]: please link to profile page
[b]Providence desired[/b]:
[b]Reason for skipping standard application[/b]: elphyme / contest win (please link) / sold with providence (please link sale sheet or reference artist who sold it) / has providence features or magical features listed on profileIf your character does not qualify for the easy way in, don't fret, they can still learn magic!
However, you'll have to do a little more work in order for them to do so; namely, you'll need to undergo a series of tasks to chronicle your character's discovery and subsequent learning of how to utilize a Providence.
Each "task" consists of either creating a piece of art, completing a roleplay with one or more other people, or finishing a solo writing exercise demonstrating that section of their personal journey.
Artwork:
- Must depict a critical scene relating to the current task.
- Must be fully lined, colored, and shaded or fully painted.
- Must include a full background.
- Must include objects or NPCs/other characters (ask permission!) that make it clear how it relates to the task.
- Quality does not matter as long as it is clear effort has been made and all requirements are met!
- Must detail the events happening around a task or a critical scene/section of the task.
- Must involve at least one character who doesn't belong to you.
- May be written in whatever format you like (paragraph or chat) and whatever tense you like, but must meet the minimum word requirement. Please note that names should be omitted from word count in the instance of chat-style roleplays.
- Must reach at least 1500 words, with each party writing at least 500. (These are individual requirements; if you write with four people, everyone still has to write 500. If you write with two, one person could write 1000 and the other 500!)
- Must detail the events happening around a critical scene/section of the task.
- May involve NPCs at your discretion; if dealing with a particularly powerful NPC (such as a mage teaching your character!), please feel free to ask a shop mod to give you the OK on their abilities.
- Must be written in paragraph form, though you can write in whatever tense you like.
- Must reach at least 2000 words (since you do not have to coordinate with other users).
Tasks For Earthians:
Task 1:
Chronicle your character's discovery of magic and Providences. Do they witness a mage casting spells and begin their research from there? Are they brought into a cabal of casters hiding from the outside world? Do they just hear some weird stuff on some message board or see an unbelievable TikTok?
Task 2:
Chronicle your character beginning their studies. How they go about this depends on your result for task 1! Are they studying under a mage? Doing more research and trying out ancient spells that just happen to somehow work? Remember they must be focused on a single Providence, so any sparking abilities must be related to that study.
Task 3:
Chronicle your character's first successful spellcast. This one's pretty self explanatory!

Tasks For Endless:
Task 1:
Chronicle your character's decision to bind themselves to a Providence. Endless may never change their Providence once bound, so it's a huge decision for them. It's also dangerous - Endless are capable of completely erasing their own existence by becoming too entangled in their magic or by attempting things too powerful for them, so it's not a simple commitment.
Task 2:
Chronicle your character beginning their studies. Are they studying under someone else with that Providence, or do they simply have a natural inclination for spellcasting, as sometimes happens? Are they confident or nervous about their changing body? Binding to a Providence can change the way an Endless creature feels - physically and mentally - and sometimes looks and smells, so how does it affect yours? Please note: you are allowed to mention some changes appropriate to the Providence, but this will not be reflected in official art unless you commission alternate art for them! Only minor alterations are allowed, such as having a scent around them or tiny features like some feathers around the face or patches of scales on the ears, etc.
Task 3:
Chronicle your character's first successful spell cast. This is pretty self explanatory! Remember, once they cross this threshold, there's no going back.
