I haven't contributed in the Colo for some time, so I decided to make amends ...
Mental Magic meets standard RPGing in Magic: The Role Playing
The world is in turmoil and the strongest wizards are abreast trying to gather the forces and wield the power of Magic. Enter the arena and wield the power of one of the five sources of mana in Magic - the power of plains, islands, swamps, mountains or forests will guide to complete your quests.
This Colo thread will feature five separate quests open to one player each (at least for now there will be five players in total). When posting your character you will have to choose one of the five mana symbols and this will allow you the wield the spells of that colour. However you will start off with the spells at the one mana cost level. Therefore if you're playing green, you initially will be able to cast giant growth, birds of paradise and so on. Once you use a spell you will never be able to use it again in the quest. As you go along however you will be able to 'power up' and thus use spells of a higher mana requirement - 2, 3 and so on. Creatures die (and enchantments disappear) at the end of the battle in which they are used.
When playing here keep in mind that this is an RPG. So say that you meet a grizzly bear. An appropriate interaction would be:
Joseph stood aghast at the approaching bear. He dashed to a hiding place behind one of the trees and from that vintage point he summoned his mental energy and directed a shock wave towards it.
Magic spells will play a part in this game but it will mainly involve thinking out situations and interacting with characters. Some restrictions may be set up for particular colours but those will be pointed out as we go along. Oh, and btw - all Vintage spells are legal so enjoy!
Enough talk, post the characters using this format:
Disclaimer: I may use Magic characters, locations or setups, but these will not follow Magic books storyline, even because I am not familiar with any of them.
If this has to be Dominarian, then you can transport my character to Dominaria somehow
Name: Akkaino Age: 11 (I'm going to say that that's around "young adult" for an akki- think 20-25 in human terms) Race: Akki (Kamigawan goblin) Appearance: Akkaino is short, even for an akki, and has the traditional symbol for "fire" painted on his shell. His shell is regular red-orange. He carries around a long stave made out of a splinter from a dead tree, which he thinks has magical properties. Background: He was born into an akki tribe living on the Cliffs. For some time he worked in an avalanche crew, but he was taught the shamanistic arts of his tribe and became an akki shaman for his tribe. Preferred thread: The Dragon Slayer
Name: Jonaleth Irenicus
Age: 27
Race: Human [elven]
Appearance: Robed and masked, Jon is an enigma wrapped in a mystery. His face is covered in a shining silver mask, through which only his eyes, a brilliant blue, can be seen.
Background: Once a mighty elven mage, Jonaleth sinned against the gods, and tried to take their power for himself. He failed, and for this was punished to be reborn as a human, but with the knowledge of the power and life he once had as an elf, doomed to die a mortal death, and no longer enjoy the long life of elf-kind. Now, he has resumed his thirst for magic, and is searching for any way to be reborn as an elf, to regain his power and status.

As a question, may counterspells be used if they do something other than merely counter the spell? For example, Dismiss or Discombobulate? How do spells like Opt and Peek work?

We'll focus on the main effects of the spells. But as part of the restrictions for blue counterspells may not be used. Cantrips will grant their main effect - like unsummoning a creature but not the random powering effect if card drawing has already been used.
We'll get going and then we'll work out the details as we go along
Name: Pieti Malorou Age: 33 Race: Aven Appearance: Tall and elegant, Pieti is the embodiment of the human view of the Aven. No particular elements separate her from her kind, other than the ceremonious robes she adorns to allow identification amongst her kind by the Aven Elders. Pieti carries the typical outfit and materials associated with a soldier-mage. Background: Although not part of the Elders themselves, thereby lacking the Crown of Holly typically worn by such officials, Pieti dreams of the day where she shall rise from the menial positon of Aura-shaper. Preferred thread: War!
Name: Moklain Cymaw (Mok) Age: 17 Race: Human Appearance: Pale face, slightly sunken cheek, dark eyes, a missing tooth, dirty brown mess of a hair, bandaged neck and upper torso, fingerless black gloves, brown shabby shoes, light gray robe with a cowl. Background: A farmboy by birth, a necromancer's apprentice by profession, an all powerful lich by ambition. His current mentor was slightly senile and mumbled only the most incomprehensible of things. No help to Mok then, who aimed for that ornate pillar to immortality. It was prudent and essential then that Mok had to look around for another way to gain that which his heart and soul desired and yearned the most... Preferred thread: In search of immortality B

Name: Souzen Kon Age: 24 Race: Orochi Appearance: Like most of the snake warriors, Kon's body is long and slender, with four equally flexible arms coming from him. He can either run along two long, thin yet muscular legs, or slither along at great speed. Background: Since he was but a hatchling, Kon was brought up as most orochi males, as a warrior. Though his tribe was small compared to most orochi colonies (only about 1200) they were still a fierce force, until wiped out in the Great War with the soratami cloud people. He has sworn revenge for honor on both all living soratami, and anybody still in allegiance with the presumable deceased Daimyo Konda, for intervening in a war that was not his. Preferred thread: Only one open, of course.

@CanadaGod: post your character - I'll see what I can do. Also open to requests from others interested in participating.
Name: Shlippoqs (Pronounced Slip-Ox)
Age: 800 (In human terms, 32)
Race: Horror (Spawned of Yagthooloo)
Appearance: Shlippoqs is a mostly humanoid purplish figure, who could possibly pass for Vedalken except for his notable lack of a nose (No nostril slits or anything, just nothing between his eyes and mouth). His arms are basically human, though purple; but instead of legs he has a trail of eldritch smoke and spume.
Background: An aberration among his people, Shlippoqs was created by one of Urborg's horrible and powerful former residents, Yagthooloo, but was born with few powers, mostly humanoid instead of a nightmarish amorphous being, and basically sane. He decided to set out to master black mana and reconquer Urborg after the Dominarian apocalypse (or some other event that might apply to the time period).
