In regards to johalt's post, which I seem to have missed: Like I said before, magic is based off belief in this world, and Archive does not have belief. Technically, EVERYONE, both Archive and Legendarius, are capable of using magic, but Archive just can't because they don't believe in it, and the gods that allow magicians to use them. Your character should have zero knowledge and tolerance of magic in the first place; it's your characters' ideals that make him unique, where in he is willing to do something "retarded" (to scientists) and give the belief thing a try, and is now branded a "heretic" of Science for his ideals.
There is no consideration in Archive NOT functioning as a whole as their Government's ability to spy on its citizens is practically on an omniscient level. People with ulterior motives or agendas are dealt with in a quick and efficient manner. This is a dystopia, after all. Experiments on magic are common, but no Scientist is willing to do much of anything until they have discovered a way to measure magic and explain it. The last time they tried to do something spontaneous ended very badly, five times out of five. The surviving scientists involved were arrested for being "stupid" and not following protocol, endangering the lives of themselves and others around them, as well as damaging valuable equipment.
This should get started when everyone's profiles are in and greenlighted so as to avoid random pauses in the RP to discuss characters. XD
