What's the difference between banal combat and the physical skills, specifically melee, agility, and practicality?
But banal is required for (most) non-magical weapon use.
Banal is used for things like knuckledusters, firearms, swords/clubs/knives, grenades. It is also used for fists, provided you are fighting something reasonably humanish.
For example, trying to fire a pistol would use your (banal+aim)/2, generally. (Firing at point blank could use melee.)
Practicality, agility and melee are all used with magical weapons or banal ones, or even unusual weapons/tools that don't require a magical stat but are somewhat... exotic. Futhermore, they can be used for things banal combat would not involve, such as (respectively) baking a cake, climbing a wall, and hitting a guy with a many-eyed tentacle.
Interesting.
Name: Lucian Faust
Backstory: Lucian was the middle child of his family, and was rather used to being the scapegoat for whatever things his older brother or little sister did wrong. By the time he reached 18 and was soon to seek his own place to live, his parent's house caught fire and burnt down completely. For reasons he never really understood, they reached the conclusion it must have been his fault- and that was the last straw for him. He disowned his family before they could do the same to him and ran off into the night, and eventually found purpose to his life once more by joining the Coven.
Physical Description: Average height, rather youthful looking. Bright blue eyes, gaunt and somewhat malnourished physique. Short brown hair.

Name: Sand
Backstory: Pun lover, glass cannon, demon fetishist. Seeks to summon a succubus (for research purposes). That or just the most crazy crap possible because [insert DOOM theme here]. Seriously, just want to summon demons for fun and profit. And violence. Enjoys making the worst decisions possible.
Physical Description: Skinny, bald headed, pale, and sickly but simultaneously energetic and manic. Like a crack head crossed with a cheerleader going through chemo. Twitches, bounces, shimmies and vibrates.

I'll WIP my hair back n' forth. Also, do we all have to be female? If so, Piecewise, maybe you should want an incubus, instead.
Name: Goe T. Thelle
Backstory: 16ya American that moved to London half a year ago when his mother got a business opportunity. Never had chance to make friends -he moved a lot back in America, too-, and his mother never really cared about him, so he's glad to start anew with this 'coven' thing. Only problem with it would be that more people'll think he's female, if he's a witch.

Placeholder join. Done.
Name: Ben Breeze
Backstory: An old man (?) in his late sixties, insists he's a veteran of various wars--from World War II to the Iraq war, he's certain thay he was involved the whole way through. It can't be discounted that he is quite experienced with firearms, but it's clear that it would have been impossible for him to actually have been involved in all the conflicts he says he was. He doesn't believe in this new-age "magic" bullshit that all the youngsters are going on about.
Physical Description: A scowling old man, who is in amazingly good physical shape for someone his age. He's about six foot two, though not heavily muscled.

Name: Sir Lootington
Backstory: A very intresting person, Sir Lootington was a very stero typical Brit, he likes tea and crumpets, he has a monocle, and he used to have a magical cane, before he accidentally smacked a demon in the face with it while trying to sit down, not that he knew it at the time. One day, everything and everyone he loved was killed by said demon, and that's how he discovered he was a Warlock, and that's also when he went crazy while somehow still keeping his gentlemanly manner, resulting in many funny incidents involving gentlemanly murder.
Physical Description: A Britishman with a monocle and very neat hair that's combed backwards, his eyes are navy blue and he has a pretty normal looking body. He's missing the big toe on his foot, and has a very long tatoo of a snake that looks suspicously like it's blood coloured. He constantly sticks his tounge out like a snake and when he's mad his eye's start twitching, the more they twitch the angrier it means he is. Oh yeah, and he always carries a cane.

And no, you don't all have to be girls.
Technically a male witch is known as a warlock. Also, I can has reserve?
To keep things simple it's first come first serve, but if you post a sheet before TankKit does his stats you're in.
There'll also be a waitlist if necessary. Waitlisted
