title: tbd
inspiration: dragon age, shadow and bone, wheel of time, divinity: original sin 2, the witcher series, baldur's gate

setting:

the world name is TBD. I pictured a grimdark medieval fantasy setting. technology is fairly primitive except that which has been infused with magic, and those items are highly prized by the wealthy. most people live in small villages, but there are cities where the elite live - and a capital where the king resides.

littering the countryside are ruins of buildings that had been constructed with magic and cannot be rebuilt, a towering reminder of just how much was lost

plot:

There was a time when magic was commonplace in the world. When people respected those who used it. That was partially due to the influence of a very famous group of sorcerers who advised emperors and performed miracles. They became legends among the people and had statues erected in their honor. That was before the cataclysm. Before one sorcerer went too far and broke something in the fabric of the universe itself, tearing a hole in reality that allowed creatures from the many hells to enter the world.

In the wake of this, a niche religious cult that had been preaching about the evils of magic since before the Blight saw their ranks swelling with people whose homes had been destroyed by monsters or by the encroaching deathfog that made their lands uninhabitable. Their leader preached that only the complete eradication of all "abominations" could cleanse the land and close the tear. They began recruiting a legion of Witchfinders to identify and kill those born with the affinity for magic. What followed was an Inquisition that moved from village to village, rounding up anyone they even suspected of being 'blighted'.

All of the original sorcerers were either caught and killed, or went into hiding. Some decided to form bands of small resistance fighters, but the numbers were against them and they were quickly wiped out.

my character:

A young woman from a poor fishing village who also happens to be the most powerful sorceress of her generation - though she doesn't know it until she meets the Inquisition, who rolled into town on the 19th birthday. She'd had vivid dreams her entire life but otherwise had never shown any signs of being 'blighted'. But her little brother had foolishly let that information slip, and somehow word got back to the witchfinders, who took no chances. They rounded the entire family up in the middle of the night and killed them, intending to end their bloodline to prevent the filth from being spread. It triggered something in her, a psychic scream that levelled the entire village. So loud and so palpable that it alerted Witchfinders from across the country that something dangerous had been unleashed.

She ran from the ruins of her home in a tiny fishing boat, setting off on the river to escape the inquisition. She had nowhere else in the world to go, but one of the side-effects of her newly awakened powers meant that she could feel threads of magic around her. Following the most powerful strand led her to the sorcerer's hiding place, and she's not leaving until she gets some answers.

your character:

(all of this can be edited as necessary, because I certainly don't want to dictate another writer's character)

A powerful magician who hid himself away in his tower/pocket dimension/whatever it may be. How old he is would be up to you, though perhaps it's a case of him being Older Than He Looks. He's been alone this entire time except for a few non-human companions, embittered by something that happened in his past. Maybe a betrayal? He prefers to be alone because of that and really is not thrilled at the prospect of having a "student" But at the same time, he's smart enough to recognize that she's a ticking time bomb given her raw power and complete lack of control.

applicable kinks:

Obviously the biggest one here is an age and experience gap. She's full of rage and excitable energy, which makes her reckless and stupid. He's older and jaded, looking at the world with a cynical eye.

"discipline" and brattiness, because her mouth gets her into trouble

Sex magic in all its forms: body modification, magical bondage, trance/hypnosis, aphrodisiac potions, literally anything we can think up!
