*Approved By Mia-MOS*
A. Title of the Role-play: RPG: The Academy for Mages

B. History of The Role-play

In this world technological advancements determine power and privilege. Because of science magic has faded into the background. If you were to say that magic was real you would be laughed at. The world had forgotten the power a great mage can wield. The people of this world had forgotten the importance of believing with your heart and letting your head follow.

There is though a great school located deep in the forests within Asia. A school where children from all over the world come to cultivate their skills, and challenge those “laws of physics”. These children are the descendants of the Great Mages Past. They are from the Great Families that have kept magic alive for generations. The school’s name is The Academy for Mages. It accepts students from the ages of 5-18. The school is mostly a highschool though. Here magic still thrives as students learn to control and master their gifts. The school is not only for mastering magic, but also for making alliances and meeting the next generation of powerful family heads. Because most of the students come from some sort of nobility they use their time at The Academy for Mages to make powerful friends that will help them when they return to the real world.

Here at the school the teachers may believe they are in control, but within the student body a time old council exists reining supreme. The council members are the five most powerful and intelligent mage students on campus. These five students also are known to have the most powerful lineages as well. It is believed that sometimes the teachers become jealous of the power the council has, and many wonder if one day they will destroy the council.



Every fifty years or so someone outside of the mages private society is found with magic. One such child was a little boy named Henry. His magic was a control over certain metals, and sadly he discovered his ability at a fancy banquet. His father you see was a renowned pilot and was receiving a medal from his government the United States of America.

The little boy was so excited and proud that his father was getting the award he accidentally called the medal to him. The metal flew to him happily from his father’s large hands to Henry’s tiny ones. Along with the medal tons of loose coins came around him swirling like cyclone. After such a display his father was ordered to turn over his son to the U.S.A. government. The pilot refused to turn Henry over and in the madness to get the child, poor Henry was killed within the week. The government did not let out about the death of the boy, but could not control talk of his abilities.

The world is in an uproar; countries are falling over themselves trying to get a hold of their own mages. Those countries governments turned on the mage families that resided within their borders. The governments started kidnapping and murdering people of the families.

Meanwhile their children were off at school attending classes and learning about the magic that lay in them and the world around them. Even with the ancient magical barrier protecting the school and keeping things out or in, the council received news about the disturbing fate of their families. They also knew that when the students found out about it they would demand to be let home to help their families. The council itself is also worried because some students are revolting from their control.

P.S. As an extra thing please don’t think the council is bad. They really are a good power, they do things for the good of the school aren’t cruel or hated. The council is loved and reveired.



EXTRA INFO ABOUT THE ACADAMY:

Dorms:

The dorms at the academy are all co-ed. You are placed in one of the five dorms based on your abilities. The five dorms surround the actual school building. They are in the shape of a five-pointed star.

Dorm of Mind:

This dorm is for the extremely intelligent students. Those whose magic increases their mind power and capacity to unimaginable levels. Here also reside the telepaths, telekinetic, and seers. The dorm has multiple libraries and a super powerful telescope. The students here are most likely to become authors, politicians, theorist, astronomers, professors, and/or powerful businessmen.

Dorm of Nature:

This dorm houses the people with abilities over the natural elements as well as people with abilities with animals. This dorm has the easiest access to the school menagerie (Zoo). Also most of the schools food and materials are made/grown here. Most students here become some sort of scientist or farmer.

Dorm of Craft:

In this dorm the artisans live as well as the techno paths. Here people with material magic such as that over woodworking, cooking, metals, etc… There are smithies and wood workshops throughout the dorm. This is by far the biggest dorm because these powers are the most common.

Dorm of Strength:

This dorm is where the athletic mages live and work. Surrounding this dorm are all different kinds of training fields and sports fields. There is also a huge gym attached to the dorm. The healers live here as well because of the major risk of injury these mages take.

Dorm of Yin & Yang

This dorm is for people with abilities over time, space, gravity, and Light/Dark. They are the historians and the true theorists of the school. They have a great mixture of buildings attached to their dorm do to the great rang of abilities. THIS IS THE SMALLEST DORM.

D. Sample Characters:

Name: Caley Brookes
Age: 17
Alias: None
Occupation: Council member
Residence: Dorm of Nature (Originally from Italy)
Ability: Caley has power over the four elements fire, water, earth, and air. She leans toward her earth magic, but tends to use her weather magic when she is in real danger. Because of her lineage her abilities are amplified much more then if she had been born to a less powerful family.
Personality: Caley is shy and has a hard time voicing her opinions to large groups of people. She tends to stay by herself or gravitate towards the scholars at school. Caley hates bullies and only when she feels she needs to protect the defenseless does she really get angry. Caley believes that no one at the school appreciates the rich families they come from and only care about themselves.
History: Caley’s mom was an anthropologist and her father was an archeologist. Her parents ran away from their responsibilities to their Great Families after gradutating from The Acadamy. They didn’t want anything to do with that world.

Caley’s family was constantly traveling all around the world letting their carreers take them where ever. Caley grew up around scholars and native people. She learned how to survive in the wild, build something from nothing, and tell the sex/age/race of a human skeleton. Although Caley was a descendant of the Great Mage Families her parents used all their magic to shield her from them. They might have succeded if they hadn’t died in a volcanic eruption when Caley was eight.

Caley’s fire magic protected her and her native friend Ashanti from the lava, but because she couldn’t control it her parents and most of the inhabitants of the island died. After living like something wild on the island for days and days she was rescued.

She though was on the island shorter then expected because her grandparents came and rescued her. They brought Ashanti along only because Caley refuse to go without her. Ashanti and Caley were the only family each other had left. They found Caley because they had had seers watching her family ever since they refused to take their positions into the Great Families.
Appearance: http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n17/KibasStalker/6338bb2e334d.png
Alliance: Council
Equipment: Caley always wears a stone around her neck. They stone is a small piece of the lava from the island and she never takes it off. Also Caley has a cat that follows her around everywhere. Her name is Bejide, and her twin brother is Ashanti’s. Bejide is white with tan stripes and spots. Caley always carries around a compass, a handmade telescope, and her mage kit.
Weakness: Because she is shy she cannot easily voice her opinions to others. Also she does not love her family, besides Ashanti. Caley has a hard time fitting in and her control over her emotions/magic skate on the line.
RPG Example: Obviously I know what my own writing is like, but you will see it when I do the first post of the RPG.
Dreams: Caley wants to help the people of Africa and South America. She wants to go there and use her magic to heal their fields and bring rain to drought-plagued villages.
-----------------
Name: Ashanti
Age: 17
Alias: Shadow
Occupation: Student, “sister” of Caley
Residence: Dorm of Strength, from Ghana.
Ability: She can transform to look like anything, person, or animal. Also she has amazing strength and talent for fighting. Her other “smaller” magic are dance and smoke.
Personality: Ashanti is cold to all those other then Caley. She was taught all her childhood not trust outsiders. The Brookes family had been the one exception to that rule. When she was child she was entrusted keeping Caley safe while her family was visiting the village. Ashanti had dedicated her life to that and loves Caley more than anything. When she was around others of her tribe Ashanti was strong, kind, and seemingly full of wisdom. Only Caley knows that she is prone to making the exact same mistakes she does.
History: Grew up as a chief’s daughter in her village. She learned all battle techniques that a male heir would and more. She spent her childhood doing what was best for the village and only heard rumors and stories of what lay beyond. She always knew one day she would leave, but her reason for leaving broke her heart. After staying with Caley’s grandparents she realized how much of a rift there was between the Ancient Shaman Order and the Great Families. Ashanti is sworn to protect Caley her “sister”, but she intends to one-day return to her own people. Then she will create a peace between the Shamans of her people and the Mages of Caley’s.
Appearance: Ashanti has ebony skin, lighter then most. It almost could be described as a dark tan now. She has sharp, but curious hazel eyes that are constantly scanning the horizen. She is about 6’3” and stands strong as the great lonely Acacia of the plains. Along her arms are symmetrical tribal tattoos. Ashanti’s tattoos on her left leg are a mix of colors mostly warm colors fading into her skin as if they were merely creative sun spots. Her hair is boy short complimenting her high cheekbones. Lastly Ashanti was long and lean with wiry muscles that made her seem to move with the shadows.
Alliance: She is allied only with Caley.
Equipment: Ashanti keeps her staff with her at all times. On it is carved intricate patterns and was given to her by her great grandfather. On the top of it is a large black stone. That stone is part of solidified lava that destroyed her village. Just like Caley, Ashanti has a cat. Hers though is male and its name is Wambua. He is black with yellow eyes just like a panther.
Weakness: Ashanti is way over curious about things sometimes she gets herself into trouble by sticking her nose were its not suppose to be. Ashanti also tends to devote herself entirely to Caley, but has a hard time separating herself from her. When they fight together its almost as if they become their own entity, but alone they are greatly hindered. Ashanti sometimes has a hard time excepting that she isn’t invincible.

[Luzifer]

Name: Samael Sabbataios
Age: 16
Alias: “The Sabbataios boy” (no one at the school refers to him by name, he is defined by his (bad) ancestry)
Occupation: Student
Residence: Dorm of Mind
Ability: Madness Anchor: Samael can use an ability which causes an region around him to become Discordant. Sapient beings within the radius experience hallucination as waves of raw madness enter into their brains and causes their sanity to attempt to devour its. Electrical systems malfunction, and their are harrowing cries as the madness that lurks beneath existance begins screaming. Everything that mankind can never understand begin to rumble. In and of itself this ability isn't lethal, people can become deranged for a short period of time but no physical harm is inflicted upon them, however, those who have experienced it never want to again. It is terror incarnate.
Personality: A beat down kid who is mentally unhinged. Its obvious that his mind has been completely shatter and no longer works in the way human minds ought to. He keeps a vague, yearning smirk on his face often times and mutters to himself about various things, often esoteric concepts (e.g. “The Leontocephaline… six times around… six paths… yes… Corax, Nymphus, Miles, Perses, Heliodromus, Pater.”- for those curious he’s talking about Mithraism).
His thought process is very non-linear, often jumping from “I bought nurtrigrain bars and beef jerky for snacks” to “There is no such thing as hypocrisy” with quick, rapid jumps in reasoning. He talks with a in a very strange way, referring to things in a poetic and detached manner that makes things difficult to understand. Seems to relish contradicting himself.
He doesn’t see the difference between symbolism and reality, and performs symbolic actions as if they were reality. For example, in the vein of Mithraic mysteries he branded himself with a equidistant cross on his forehead, as it is a symbol of rejection of the self. The reason he did so was that, since he rejected himself as an entity, in his mind since he cannot observe he cannot exist so he had to brand himself(its based on Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, in which the act of observing a system prevents you from knowing it because the act of observing affects the system, he takes that since he cannot observe a system he cannot affect it, and if he cannot affect something he cannot exist in the true meaning. This is not to say that he does not realize he has a physical form its just he doesn’t see possessing a body and a soul as indicative of “existence”) .
History: Samael came from a failed magical family… formerly noble then disgraced when their bloodline began to dry up due to a preference for mating with those who did not have noble blood. Gradually, the “magic” within the line was almost entirely bred out of them and attendance to the Academy for Mages is just a pity play by the other noble families because of how pathetic the family has become. The family, began inbreeding in order to try and maintain what little magic was left within the family, sisters married brothers, fathers mated with daughters and so the family fell deeper and deeper into darkness. Genetic defects began to solidify with the rotting DNA and the family began developing traditions of Dementia, and Manic Depressive disorder, as well as several other diseases including Sickle Cell Anemia. However, the ploy worked and at the cost of the families conscience they were able to once more produce children with magical abilities.
Samael was born into this family, particularly to a father and mother who themselves shared parents. Both of his parents were mentally unstable and Samael himself appears to have inherited these traits. His father and mother both abused him. During his childhood until he was sent away to Magical school his mother would molest him and his father would beat him whenever he caught wind of this, which was often enough. Samael lost two fingers of his left hand to a carving knife of his fathers, and when he started spending time with a girl down the road at the age of eight, in those sweet platonic friendships of youth, his mother, in a fit of jealousy gouged out Samael’s eyes with a butterknife during dinner.
Blinded, Samael attended school where he did well in almost every non-magical subject he took, showing a great weakness for the workings of magic in any form and displaying almost no talent for it at all. However, his mind was quick and capable of skipping steps with speed and agility. However, during his school years he has been an outcast, both for his families history as well as his own lack of sanity. He has been beaten throughout his years at school, even going into a coma for several days when a rock through by a teacher nearly cracked his school. However, he keeps coming back and does not seem to think ill of anyone for what has happened to him, in fact, he seems to have a (disturbing) optimism.
Appearance: http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o156/tsubasa2/02/tsu232q.jpg
Alliance: Rogue
Equipment: walking cane, blindfold wears a leg brace on his right leg.
Weakness: Insane, physically weak, hardly any magical skills, friendless, blind, hardly any sense of pattern recognition, naive, incapable of seeing evil in people, tends to say rude things or offend people because he doesn't realize what is considered "polite" conversation (such as when in the fifth grade he wrote a story and in it, he described a rooms cozyness by comparing it to a part of the female anatomy), unable to link actions with reactions. He possesses various mental and physical diseases including, Manic Depression, Sickle Cell Anemia, Dementia, and Muscular Distrophy.
RPG Example: Samael smiled vaguely as he walked down the school taping his cane in front of him gently with his three-fingered hand and swing out his right leg with each step (the brace preventing easy movement). Tap Tap Tap. “Oh… nonono… there wasn’t anytime… time just bends itself away, into pearly treasure boxes between reality and anti-existance…those things called… ‘memories’.” The other students moved out of his way and stared at him with suspicion, his family had a reputation for being thieves and cutthroats and all other sorts of other ne’er-do-wells . But Samael didn’t mind, despite the fact he heard their shuffling steps, saw the words they said floating in the air with his ear. They words were green… green with envy yes yes… so inhibited they were. He was himself and he would be no other.
Dreams: None… Samael drifts from day to day unaware of the concept of a “future” he doesn’t see his actions as possessing a “consequence”.

[MaruDashi]

Name: Alice Maxwell
Age: 17
Alias: None [that she knows of]
Occupation: student
Residence: dorm [ying yang]

Ability: Abilities with gravity, space, dark, and can [rarely] "see"
She can levitate or "fly". She can use dark magic, and is much stronger when angered. Often times she'll have dreams where she "Sees", though she often has a hard time determining if its an actual dream or not. She has also been trying to teach herself to "store" items secretly in her blind eye [through dimension manipulation] but has been unseccessful as of yet.

Personality: Although she tends to be very shy because of her aparence, Alice is a very sweet and fun loving girl. However, she does have a very dark side which she often finds she has trouble controling.

History: Alice was born in Jamestown, Ireland [although, to the surprise of many, she doesnt bear an accent]. Her mother died while giving birth to Alice, and her father's whereabouts were unknown, so she was raised by her grandparents. She was told when she showed signs of powers that her mother was a "seer", though the powers Alice showed were different. Her grandparents have noticed that every so often, Alice will "see". They assumed that part of her mothers magic ability passed through to her daughter.

Appearance: [see attached...and please ignore the blood >_>;;] Off colored eye is blind [and has three "marks" under it]

Alliance: Council [due to the fact she heard her grandfather was a member at on point or another]

Equipment: She very fond of a stuffed rabbit her mother made her during her pregnancy, but because of its old age Alice tends to leave it in her bed. Shes been seen having conversations with the rabbit, which lead her grandparent to believe that perhaps the stuffed doll was possessed by a spirit, though since no harm ever really came from conversing with the doll, her grandparents never pressed the matter further.

Weakness: Can often times be easily angered, which triggeres off her "other self".

RPG Example:
Alice looked over to her stuffed bunny and sighed.
"Oi, oi, dont give me that face Usagi. At least I managed to control my temper this time."
She stared blankly at the doll until it moved slightly under the weight of its large head.
"Well, calling me weird was bad enough, but then trying to make faces on my bad side was even worse...he deserved to get hit."
The rabbit remained silent.
"...Shut up."

Dreams: She hopes to one day find her father.

[KibasStalker]

Luzifer: A bit of an odd character, definatily not what I was expecting even from you.:p You need to look at one thing before I approve you. Your ability must co-inside(sp?) with your dorm. The fact that you have a water ability means you would be in the nature dorm instead of the Mind dorm. I suspect that you want to be in that dorm(I made it and the Ying Yang dorm with you in mind), but I don't know exactly what your going to be doing with your character so I'll see what you do.

Edit:
MaruDashi: Approved, I would like you, however to elaborate more on her abilities and how she uses them.

[Luzifer]

Yeah but... the idea is he's essentially a magic-neuter... he really doesn't even HAVE a magic ability, so lacking any sort of meaningful power he would be placed in a dorm with his specialty in mind... and since he's mentally unhinged...well... mind is close...ish

P.S. its not that odd of a character for me if you really think about it...

[Tetsanosuke]

Name: Skyde Malomarche
Age: 18
Alias: Universio
Occupation: Student

Residence: Ying and Yang Dorm. The corner bed in the shade of darkness.

Ability: Space, the essence of space and that which is the opposite, the matter. Basically you can call him a Galaxy Mage, His powers deal with the use of chora and Manipulation of void to create un-void (as in something to take up the space) and back to void again.

Personality: Skyde is usually dark, calm and cold. He sees reality in a perspective like space. The world is so empty to him, empty because of all the conflict that makes people spread apart. His views are considered very eccentric, if even heard at all. He's very independent and quick witted, though never haughty. He believes that it's the superiority complex that creates much of the worlds conflict, and hence the emptiness he feels from it around him. Though he is much content with staying out of things, rather, musing at the simple things others do that seem utterly pointless.

History:
Skyde was born in Europe, presumably England with an English mother and an American father. Though, they moved to Germany afterwards because they knew people out there, family friends. At the time, they weren't real well with the money, they were lucky to even pool enough money to get to Germany. There they worked for the family friend's Hotel and Lodge, where they worked for a small salary and living quarters. Skyde himself was left alone a lot when he was young, from the age of 5 to 9 he was in their apartment all alone most of the day every day, they hadn't the money to bring him to school so they tried homeschooling with what they knew.

Though one day they had come home, and noticed that parts of the walls were missing, as if cut out with such great precision that a craftsman of highest quality (Unless it's a Mage) couldn't fit to cut. When they reached their son the walls filled back in and a large flash of light came from his hands. Little did they know their son was about to send a super nova like wave at them. But he recognized his parents and fell to the floor crying. He felt so alone at home, so alone in that world with only the weird things going on to keep him company.

At that point his parents had heard words from a school in Asia that sent them a letter regarding their child. Without money to repair those constant small damages and no way to control their son's powers they sent him off. He lived at the school studying for (about) eight years, up until now he stayed out of the spotlights, only using his powers in secrecy. He received the gloves 'Cha'kre' from the teachers as a gift, the white gloves with enchanted metals upon them easing his ways through learning his gift. He even started to develop spells and incantations for focus, enveloping himself in his works.

Three years prior to the current he met a student by the name of Gage Cathis, a nature wielder who wasn't the most popular of students either. Though Skyde wasn't interested in fame, only to assort to whatever means to bring the world together through his power, he found the boy being chased down by the local stompers. One of them tried assaulting him with flames, which seemed to be a great fear of the boy. Standing off to a side he felt content with just watching, until he finally realized that it was such a feeling that aided conflict and made the world so empty. So he thrusted an arm out, creating dimensional space within the path of the fires sucking the air from it. He would then soon enough cause an small eruption of space, blowing the rotten kids into the nearby tree.

Ever since then Gage has been the only person willing to talk to him, despite his cold and seemingly pessimistic manner. Because the nature wielder enjoyed flourishing the school with flowers and such things it brought amuzement to him, a feeling that seemed different and.. warm to him. Though he wont admit it, him and Gage are two outcasts in a school full of go getters, the only difference being Skyde's own plot's.

Appearance:
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c173/TKolliker/JeriahMage.jpg
Don't mind the character from the Anime, I'm basing his appearince off of this character's. His face is a bit longer though, and his hair will be black.

Alliance: He goes to school to learn to use his power, so he joins no side that would oppose his goal. I assume that would be the council, though they never really go to him for anything and feels little loyalty to them as a whole.

Equipment:

Cha'kre: His two gloves that never seem to leave his eyes let alone his hands at any time. They were gloves used to maintain his spacial abilities, like a collar for a dog with a tight least. They cut off his focus if he ever loses control, yet they are made to improve his focus when he is his usual calm self.
Inter-dimensional Carrying Case; Black Briefcase: Due to his ability to pull things out of space and bring it back in, it's theorized that his small briefcase that holds everything he needs for school can fit an unlimited amount of things. That's just about what it does. It holds his papers and brushes and all those things.
Fao'Sael: A magical staff that can extend and retract to it's owners will. He carries it around in his brief case usually in it's smallest state, like an Olympic baton. It's a black shaft topped with a white crystal at the end, meant for his higher practicing classes in focus.
Weakness: Crowds (The larger the worse). He can't stand large amounts of people. In space their is an unlimited amount of room between bodies, as such he's claustrophobic when it comes to humans around him. He's good enough to stay in a class room, and make his ways about the rooms, but when it comes down to it he loses focus and usually breaks down in a crowd.

RPG Example: The various hints and hues of the magical student body flashed by his eyes, his eye of blue so deep they seemed like midnight in the sky. But not just the sky could bear his mind, his thoughts were that of space and beyond. The cold essences of the bare blank chora spinning and shifting, toppling and stretching, yawning and rolling. It was all inside his head buzzing about, soaring higher and burning brighter then any star. Though the stars were at his hands, his hands were not yet strong enough to bare them well, and so he knew, and so he fell.

But he wasn't truly falling, he was lost in his very own thought. The deep reaches of his open, dark and empty heart beckoning to be filled. He must fill this world, this world so torn apart by meaningless titles and strains of hunger and greed. Though he didn't like large crowds he didn't care, because if the end would bring this world together, then he had accomplushed his goal. When he would feel the bottom of his soul, fill fully from the tip to top, from brink to drop, he was sure his goal would be done and realized.

His eyes became lost in the chora, the space about his figure sitting under the far off tree in the corner. He could feel the blossoms floating down and taking bits of his form, thier pink glow seemed overwhelmingly warm, yet as they fell he realized how cold they were, separate from the rest of it's beggining and the other bits of it's kind. It strayed away from it's deity to become a part of another.. another conflict between the humans and their endless struggle against life.

But why struggle against it? He was human yet his barely understood, at the same time he questioned his own motives. But he also knew them as true, he was truth, to himself even if not to the world. Lies are pointless, conflict is weary. Renewal should be at hand. Might it be by the iron fist of his powers, or by the banner of an everlasting regime, that would utterly fall into nothing but conflict again. Regardless he was ready to take the tides at full course, willing to give it his all... Just as soon as these people stepped away from him and let him exist.

Dreams: He dreams that one day he can fill the world with the feeling of un-void. This world that he exists in seems so empty to him, humanity lashing out at themselves for no reason. Hoping to become a master Galaxy Mage ( A rare power indeed ) He wishes to stop all conflict, even if it must be with an iron hand. That way the world may return to tranquility, and people can accept others for who they are and not by how much they have.

Name: Gage Cathis
Age: 18

Ability: Gage takes control of any type of plant life, he can speed up or slow down the growth of a plant, he can also create barriers for himself with the vines around him, althought they are tough they can still be broken. His most used plant of choice is the rose....and sometimes the lily if he really feels like it. He usually uses his abilites through the scroll that his tied to his left hand.

Personality: Gage is a little like Skyde Malomarche, he is quiet, and doesn't like to be bothered by anyone, that is why he hangs around Skyde, because he doesn't talk very much and isn't very social. Of course, Gage isn't literally anit-social, he gives the occational hi to the other students, but that is it. Gage does have a softside, he will decorate randomly, various area's of the school, with flowers, without any actual reason.

History: Gage growing up was hard, although his family was very rich, they were famous flower arrangers. (Which explains why he decorates randomly through out the school.) He was going to be like all of his family decending before him...a carpenter. But, his mind set was a little different, he was more darker, and didn't dress in hippy clothes like his family. He was always wearing black, he wanted to be away from his family, and so...he begged his parents to enroll him into The Academy for Mages. He was determined to use his powers for...more better things then his family. So they agreed, hoping their son would follow in their footsteps. Enrolled at the age of 9, and grew into a more darker and anit-social person, at the age of 15 he met up with a guy named, Skyde Malomarche, Skyde and Gage hung out due to their similar personalities, yet they were completely different when it came to their abilites.

Appearance: See below!

Alliance: He goes to school to learn to use his power, so he joins no side that would oppose his goal. He hasn't had any loyalty to either side, he has been asked for help a couple of times by the counsel.

Equipment: A scroll that is wrapped around his left hand, and a rose in his right hand. (Color changes depending on mood)

Weakness: Gage weaknesses are annoying people (If they annoy him for to long,
he ends up going crazy and rants.) And fire, well he does control plants.

RPG Example:
Rath looked at Flea and shrugged lightly "I can't say for certain." Rath said briskly, he didn't really want to lie, he couldn't just say that everything will be okay because of the guards. Although even if everything will be alright, he was still on his guard to fight everynight. "Miss Flea, you do know if anything happens, I will have to throw myself in danger..." He then looked to his left and then to his right "If anything happens, please don't come after me." Flea was his friend, actually she was his only true friend, maybe even more, even though he didn't act like it, he still cared for her deeply.

Dreams: His dream is to use his powers for good and protect anyone who is in danger.

[MaruDashi]

Ok, I added a bit more detail to the abilities :3

[Luzifer]

Name: Ash Modai
Age: 17
Alias:
Occupation: student
Residence: Dorm of… Yin & Yang
Ability: Sealing Magic…technically. He believes Magic is an evil and cast a sealing spell on himself so he sealed his seals (if that makes sense)
Personality: Ash is a born a bread idealist, which makes his name ironic (kudos to anyone who can figure out why his name is ironic). He dislikes any sort of physical power, and believes that magic is inherently evil and should be sealed away and/or bred out of mankind. To show his resolve he actually sealed his own magical abilities so that he is now only still part of the Academy on a technicality (he could cast magic…), though some believe he should be kicked out of the school because his ideology is a threat, or because he’s not actually a mage anymore.
Very outspoken, he’s quick to preach and has gotten very good at offering proofs and analogies for why he believes the various things that he believes. He hates magic but manages to avoid hating the mages themselves, who he looks upon more with pity than with rage, which most people actually find far more annoying. He thinks that those who depend upon magic are only proving that their souls and spirits are weak and that they cannot bear to actually put forth the effort to do things themselves.
Lucid, he has a very practical view of most things and realizes the boundary between saying his ideals and getting them accomplished. However, he also realizes that sometimes, the most you can do is scream at the top of your lungs and hope the echo survives.

History: Ash has had history with his family. His family is one of the most powerful of the magic families and has long been courted by countries to try and get them to side with them. However, the Modai family is like a leaf, going in the direction of the prevailing wind, and often switches sides in the middle of a conflict depending upon which side is in the ascendant position. However, eventually these double dealing proved to be the down fall of the family and they were betrayed and almost every adult member of the family was killed. He himself was caught in an inferno when their villa on the Adriatic was attacked and burned to the ground, he inhaled fire and his lungs were scorched from the inside, leaving him unable to absorb enough oxygen from the air, and to this day he must breath pure oxygen or suffocate.
Ash however, saw this as nothing more than a just comeuppance. He believed that it was the fact that the Modai family sought and used power which was the cause of their death and not the actions of the soldiers or the country that had actually pulled the trigger. In his mind, power itself was evil and magic, being the most unfair and inequitable of all powers was the most evil of all. So he decided that he would not use magic and would dedicate his life to expunging it.

Appearance: http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee113/Vazelization/eL%20Angel%20Sanctuary%20Project/052.jpg

Alliance: Rogue
Equipment: Oxygen Mask (see history)
Weakness: He has no magic, his idealism prevents him from using more advantages means of winning.
RPG Example: The grating sound of the pump of his masking going in and out as he breathed had long ago sunk beneath Ash’s notice. Everyone around him however, was on edge. He looked around with a vague apathy at the people that passed by, each and every one of them was sinning in his mind… but it was their choice and at the moment he could not stop them. He sighed, with an accompanying metallic wheeze, if only he had not sworn of power, but power would not breed right conduct, it would only brand its memory into mankind, and magic was something that should be forgotten utterly. Mankind had to want to forget... mankind cannot be forced to forget
Dreams: To ban the use of magic and to expunge it from the human genome.

OOC: In case anyone hasn’t figured it out from basically ever other RP I’ve ever been in including this one… I hate magic.

[Shobu_Shimizu]

Name: Hoang (surname) Yan Xiaozhi
Age: 17
Alias: "Little" Fist or Bing Bing
Occupation: council member
Residence: Dorm of strength
Ability: she concentrates her spiritual energy -called 'Chi'- into different parts of her body to enhance her strength and she can even send out waves of Chi because of her knowledge of magic. The Chi only enhances her strength by about 15 percent, if she concentrates soley on it, but that's quite a bit because of her normal strength which is as strong as about ten men put together. Along with her strength she had incredible speed, which her Chi can also enhance. Also her Chi can materialize and became sharp and deadly needles.
Personality: Bing Bing has the personality that could brighten up a room. She's kind and optomistic but even so, she has a short fuse and when she's angry she's can be quite vicious. She's very rough for a girl and isn't very girly at all. She also has a very big appetite and can usually be found with some sort of sweet.
History: Bing Bing was raised in a royal family in China which traced back all the way to the Shang Dynasty. She was sent to the academy at the age of 10 but in those ten years of growing up with her family, she was taught to control her Chi in her body by Master Lao, someone who was a grandfather-figure to her. Her father's side of the family knew magic but they were not crazy about it. It was Master Lao who helped Bing Bing with her training. She was the only child of her mother and father but she was far from spoiled. Asian culture led families to discipline their children. As a child, Bing Bing was beat almost weekly because of her behavior, what with her tricks she played on the servants, other relatives, and sometime just for being unlady-like.
Appearance: http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i306/LovelyPinkLilly/Anime%20girls/th00991426.jpg Clothing example: http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa298/Rianeko/Anime%20Kimonos%20and%20Geisha/mediumAnimePaperscans_Adumi-Tohru_H.jpg
Alliance: council
Equipment: A tiny music box that plays an old chinese folk-song that was given to her by her grandmother. She keeps it in her pocket at all times and often takes it out to liste to it. The shell is red and has tiny people painted on it as if telling a story that can be interpreted in many ways. http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~YW4Y-OOb/sougen.mid (This is the song it plays and you'll need some sort of music player that plays online stuff like windows media or quicktime if you want to listen to it.)
Weakness: Has a short fuse and she gets dizzy around strong fumes such as perfume or gasoline. If the fume is strong enough it could cause her to pass out. Also, when she uses her Chi to that fifteen percent she is drained of almost all of her energy. The only way she can enhance her Chi in the two areas at the same time is to split the amount of Chi she uses.
RPG Example: Addie trotted down the stairs to find the house void of all life but her and Bicko, her blue beta fish. "Yeah, good morning to you too," she said and bent down, kissing the small bowl her fish was confined in. As if trying to kiss her back, Bicko swam into the glass. She walked to the kitchen, made herself a bagel, smeared it with thick helpings of creme cheese, and pulled her cap over her pink and black hair. "Bye bye Bicko," she called to the fish and walked out the door in her pink and white skater shoes. As if on cue, two boys on skateboards rolled up to her driveway with backpacks on their back.
Dreams: She dreams of simply staying and hopes to later live in a world that is much more diverse, a world that accepts people who are different.

[KibasStalker]

Okay so I'm in the middle of reading different people so I don't have any Approving to do right this second though I will edit it and try to get everyone their response before I go to bed. Thank you all so much for posting it really made my day to see so many people interested in my roleplay!

Things to keep in mind:
1. Try try not to make your person the most powerful that you can possible make it. I know I listed different things for different dorms, but you shouldn't have every power that I listed. Even the council doesn't have every power, alot of their abilitly comes from raw power. They just have so much to back it up. Someone who did really well in explaining their powers is Tetsanosuke did a really great job explaing his abilities and how they tied into his personality and history. A scenerio would be twins having powers they may half the same powers, but if they grow up on totally different sides of the planet their powers will evolve differently depending on how they used them discovered them. Kudos to Tetsanosuke.

2. The whole Great Families things is really important to the plot of the story. We cannot have everyone not be apart of them. Most of these kids grow up around magic. No one has been born out of the magical families in a long time. And Henry was the only one for the next so many years. And the familys are quite rich because of these abilities.

I will add stuff to this after I finish reading and as I said I will try to approve as many people as I can tonight.

P.S. Make sure not everyone is in the same dorm:p. That would be boring!

EDIT: Okay I'm thinking over what I actually wrote for my own abilities and ... I will try and revamp them tommorow and post more detailed ones with my characters.

EDIT2: Tetsanosuke: Approved, keep number 2 in mind when we start the roleplay..

Seikyu Kiba: Approved, I like how you guys did your characters. I can't wait to see them in the roleplay. Your example was alittle average, but I like the dialoge, so accepted.

MaruDashi: Since I already approved its alright and you did well in revamping your abilities, but I would like you to maybe narrow it down a little, so your character is not so all powerful. Don't forget the most powerful/Capable person in the Ying Yang dorm is the Ying Yang Council Member...

EDIT3: NO MORE ROGUES, that is all...

Why do you hate magic Luz? *Sad face*

EDIT4: NO STUDENT EXCEPT A FEW SEERS KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD AT THIS POINT. The roleplay starts only two months after Henry dies. The governments are hurting SOME families not ALL. Something to keep in mind is that these are magical mage families. Though some may be naive in their interprtation of the situation or working with the governments willingly, it is not in the vast majortiy. Few people at all have been actually "KILLED" yet more that is going on right now is kidnapping and ransomeing and things of the such. Mage families have super powerful protections on themselves and have safe houses for this sort of thing. Something to remeber is that the best place for the governments to get magic in the first place is to go to the place where they teach it if you catch my drift.

Shobu_Shimizu: UNapproved. Read what I've written above and edit.

[Tetsanosuke]

I was thinking of making a teacher character if you'd like. I was thinging a teacher of things like 'Spellcrafting', 'Focation' (Focusing of energies and mentalities, as well as Magical Battle courses, kinda like a Magical Dueling instructor.

Would that be plausible for this whole thing?

[Chuck the Ninja]

Name: Konsuka Sakamoto
Age: 17
Occupation: Council Member
Residence: Dorm of strenght
Ability: Besides having impressive speed and physical abilities Konsuka can increase those abilities by focusing on them. For example if he focuses on speed then his strenght will decrease, and the other way around. Also has some skill in healing and medical combat. Accuracy,detention skills, and all the above are included.
Personality: A fair men that doesn't like to fight and would like to talk about it before fighting. He can be very stubborn and have a temper when it comes to his friends and family.
History: Born of a noble family Konsuka had everything he needed. He came to his school because his father once went here and is well known. He was also apart of the council. He wants to show his father that he to can do some good. That is why he joined the council. He wants to do good for the school and impresse his father. He does love this school and thats why he cares and help as many times as he can. He didn't want to follow behind his father but feels like he as a debt to pay to his father.
Appearance: Jet black shoulder lenght hair with some grey high lights. He normally sports nice shoes that are formal but at the same time he could get them dirty. Black suit and white shirts. He does change his clothes everyday.
Alliance: Council
Equipment: A ferret named Haku that delivers his mail and serves as a pet.
Weaknesss: Very high pitched loud sounds because they throw off his focus
Rpg Example: Kinsuka had to laugh. His brother was once again whining. All over a bit of bread. His hair was flaming red and growing ever so brighter. He couldn't help but point at him and continued his meal. This was one of his one happy memorys about being in his family. His brother. He was his only true friend and comrade in crime left. They did everything together. Thats why he wouldn't allow his brother to fail. His father wouldn't allow it and would send him away. He wouldn't allow that.
Dream: Make his father proud.

[Luzifer]

overhauled Samael's abilities

[KibasStalker]

I'm sorry I totally spaced out about your second character Luz.

Luzifer: Second character Approved. This is diffenatly a Luzy character.:) I love what you have done with Samuel's abilities! Oh and Luz you still have to answer the question ;).

Tetsanosuke I like that idea, I like that Idea very much. Pm me with your character sheet and I will talk to you.

Sorry Hollow I still haven't read your character, but I am just to tired. Either tommorow morning or right when I get home after school I will read yours. I really do need to get to bed, I can barely keep my eyes open.@.@ I also need some profiles to look forward to tommorow!

[Luzifer]

I don't know... mostly because I know few people make "anti-magic" characters and even less of them fall under the discreption of "heroic". A common stereotype, from every source of fantasy I've ever seen is that magic is either, "good" or "neutral"... so I like playing a "good" anti magic character... and thats a lot of quotation marks.

that and magic's for sissies!

[KibasStalker]

Haha. Thats a good reason for making anit-magic characters. Breaking the mold is allways apprecaited. Okay well you said that "you" specifically didn't like magic, so I was thinking about that. Personally I love the idea of magic, oh the fun I have everyday coming home from school looking out the window watching the scenery go by thinking up knew ideas for animes or my story.

On another note *IS SO HAPPY WITH ALL THE RESPONSES*. :D :D :D

[Luzifer]

Well, normally I think that the human subconcious, in its current state can't take magic. Humans tend to react poorly to power unearned and, in most cases, magic is genetic. Being that some people are just BORN with the power to use magic. From an egalitarian stand point such a difference in opprotunity due to bloodline is unfair. Its like giving somebody I million bucks and his own oil company cause he happened to be born lucky.

Thus magic inherently would create "classes". Those with magic and those without. Magic, being inherently a beneficial manifestation upon its host, would thus signify a de-facto ruling class. Anything that differentiates humans would instantly lead to a conflicting caste society.

[Shobu_Shimizu]

I edited it... if I screwed up again, just tell me where... because I kind of just guessed. It's late and I'm tired.

[Chuck the Ninja]

[MaruDashi]

K, took out invisiblity and added a novice [and kinda useless] ability.

[Nespa]

Name: Binca emori

Age: 14

Alias: Pokey

Occupation: student

Residence: dorm of mind

Ability: Seer though it's more sensing* if something good or bad is gonna happen. slight telekenise.

Personality: calm she seems hard to anger and even more to get furious and she does not say much. She rarely seems to be intrested in other people or things than her books. Most of the time she is serious.

History: Binca is one from the slightly older families and is from a long generation of seers. Since her parents were always someware predicting outcomes she was mostly cared for by a nanny until she was old enough to school. Over the years she did not really make friends just aquintances she seems adored by uncertain students because of her powers causing them to often try to get her to tell them if they get a good grade.

Appearance: Blond hair that is mostly in two braids. A green blouse, black pants. pale, grey collored eyes, wears small square glasses. boots.

Alliance: Familie

Equipment: a small black mouse called mira. It's unclear which ability's has but it seems she can converse with it through her mind.

Weakness: Migraine, something if she senses something really nice or really bad she gets a heavey headache on one side of her head.

RPG Example: Binca calmly turned the page of the book she was reading. Mira was asleep in her lap. She looked up when she felt someone poke her side and pressed her glasses back to up to looked at the student before her "yes?".

Her voice was quite but slightly tinged with anoyance, mira woke up and squaked. He handed her a paper "do i get a good grade for this?".

Binca looked at the paper and closed her eyes for a moment. she opened them again and handed the paper again "it's unclear"was al she said and returned to her book ignoring the saddend look of the student.

dreams: not really clear since she never told anyone

*i hope you don't mind this kiba but seeing she is stil in school i can not assume she get full blown visions yet :P

[KibasStalker]

Hollow: First character unapproved. Please ilaborate(sp?) on your character intentions for the future. Also you did not fill out your character's dream. Please add your reason for being a council member. Council members have to be strong and believing in the importantance(sp?) of what they are doing. They have to be able to lead. How can you show that your character can do that? I was wondering about the point of being afraid of blood, you are a fighter and healer... Last are quite a few mistakes in your rpg sample as please look over it and read it aloud to yourself and then edit. Over all though your idea of a character is nice and I think will do well in interacting with others in the roleplay.

Okay MaruDashi you added an ability. I would suggest you keep gravity(that would include flying) and darkness. You cannot have both dark and light because light destroys and iradicates darkness when it comes in contact with dark. Light is kinda of a weak magic because it doesn't have many uses, the one thing it does have is to signify someone with a pure heart and mind blah blah blah.

Shobu_Shimizu: You have to rember when making your character to be in the dorm of strength grils tend to throw away preconceived notions about what they must be like as girls. Yes they should be rougher, but it is hard to put a rough personality with a happy over optimistic character that wears dresses to fighting classes. Also the main point I was also trying to make with my edit before is that none of the Great Families are dead and dying and only have one living decsendant left. They are flourishing in todays business, but the only thing is they previously kept it hidden abou their abilities... Magic families have magic healers... Diseases do not devistate their families...

BY THE WAY EVERYONE THIS IS SET IN THE MARCH OF 2016. (I only do this in the future because I don't want america to be at war with Iraq in this story...)

Something to keep in mind is no magical animals. Their bodies can't handled it as much because of their simplistic minds and small bodies. Sorry Hollow. They have a bit of magic, but its only like healing a destroyed berry or hurry along a growing fruit or something like that.

Hollow Second Character: Give this one some more backround. He feels empty and the history isn't really that telling. I don't really understand the way he acts and who he is. Also changing form would be body magic I.e. Stregnth dorm, and cloths changing would be cloth magic I.e. Craft dorm and you have way to many different abilities. You must narrow them down. I would suggest keeping the air/weather magic for your character...

[MaruDashi]

I took out the invisiblity, the flying is still there. Took out light. [lol, she definitly doesnt have a pure heart XD]

[Shobu_Shimizu]

Ooooh, dude, that completely flew over my head. Sorry about that. ^_^() I'll edit it. I'll change her personality as well, since you disapprove of it.

Edited.

[KibasStalker]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I like her personality I just think rough and overly optimistic tend to clash. You may keep them if you wish, but I say this because I trust your judgement and what i know from the past is that you are a very good roleplayer.

[Chuck the Ninja]

Edited first character. It's giving of a set amount of space to post so that why i had to make my sample smaller.

[KibasStalker]

Nespa: unapproved. Your character is pretty good, but there are a few things I need you to look at. First of all you need to add detail to your personality. The information you have there isn't enough. Second though I don't mind your history being short I don't understand the last sentence at all and I don't know what you are trying to say. Third in your writing you need to start a new paragraph when someone new talks and try to seperate your example into paragraphs so people can read it easier. Last of all you made some grammer errors in your example as well as the fact you used calm to describe your character and then to describe her mouse. You need to work on word variations. Try using thesuras(sp?).com its off of dictionary.com.

[Nespa]

i edited. as for the grammar problems i am dutch and not english. Though my speaking is very good my writing is a little off. i am not planning to get a dictionary for every word, i hope you don't mind this.

[Overlord Darth Fluffles]

Yay! Time for me to do my part, which you requested! Alright I am now editing one last time to get into what is needed, Kiba.

Name: Lucian Atrotcitous
Age: 18
Alias: The Wound
Occupation: Council Member - Yin Yang (As requested)
Residence: Ying & Yang Dorm.
Ability: He Is gifted in Dark, Gravity control as well as space itself. His abilities focus on concentration levels he has to put in. There are three, Low, Medium, and High.

Low - This recuires barely any effort, just the thought of it will make it happen. when lowly concentrating he can engulf a sphere of Anti-Gravity around him giving him the ability t float, he can do this with objects, but lacks control over where they go (Except for hiimself).. Also he opens up worm holes, when opening two, anithing entering one will appear out of the other. If one is opened then whatever enteres is sealed withi the space. Also he darken bright areas. Also opening a worm hole on his palm to suck in what ever attacks are made and can be shot back out, yet in this process it stlightly injures his arm.

Medium - This recuires more.focus to do so. With this he can make shadows or dark areas into a tangible force, making it blunt (Like a punch to the face).

High - This takes a strong amount of focus and usually results in weakening Lucian. With High concentration he can make sahdows of his foes into tangible beings where he controls them, usually latching onto his foe, squeezing them.. Also if in a area with NO light or night, he can take darkness around and force it to crush a foe (Again takes a HIGH amount of concentration).
Another small ablility he has, is when he was a child his eyes became damaged to a benefit. In dark areas, they absorb any light within, even small traces, giving him the ability to see in the dark.

Personality: At time he can be labelled cold, mainly for his attitude. Really he has a slight arrogance over others, he prizes himself to be above most, yet this only comes from his ability to manipulate, his voice is persuasive he has the speech of a leader. He can get otehrs to follow him into his own ambition. Words are yet another strength of his, also how he elaborates and deefine things can be admirable. Not to mention his humor may be crude, but still funny on occasions. His voice is also slightly high pitched, yet dark. Still it obtains the traits of persuasion.

History: Born from British parents. At birth his mother died from him. His father didn't take kindly to this and grew a hatred for his own son. His young childhood was rough, for his dad finally unleashed his hate for hiim at 5 by severly beating him. In truth this didn't stop Lucians attitude, he was optimistic, always smiling, happy. Finally he was put into a normal school, kindegarden at 6. He was reffered to as the nicest kid in his class. Then came frist grade. His fathers beatings became more barbaric and brutal, giving Lucian that gut anger within, but his will made him leave it be. Slowly though his will died, he began to grow sad, at nights he would cry, when his father beat him he'd give in to the pain fully, pleasing his father. One night at the age of 7, he realized he had a gift. How he unleashed it though came with a price. Seeming as a good kid you'd think that his powers would help, but one night after one of his worst beatings he was in his room crying swirled with anger. It grew into a demon clawing it's way from the inside, killing his will. That night while his father was sleeping he unleashed his anger, with a scream an orb of light emmited from his body, as his light went out. Illuminated the room for a breif moment before all outside the orb grew dark. Beams, hot beams dropped down from the roof of the orb, hitting Lucians skin, damaging and burning it. What ever darkness was within the house, that could be felt or seen, swirled. It became tangile, solid and crushed the house from the inside. Killing his father. After the effect the orb of light fadded, as so did any conrol over the light, but his eyes grew damaged. Their pupils gone, only white was in his eyes.

He grew facinated by what he could do. He tried his best to do it again. AFter the night of the incident he was put into a foster home. When no one looked )Mainly it was night) he would practice his ability. At first he did not know how to utilize it. But slowly he thought of his anger, and emotions. This resulted in his levitation, he started to grow a float, as if all gravity around him dropped. Yet he felt a shapr pain when he did this, but he ignored it; only concerning over what he was doing. Slowly he just thought of his father, and he was able to make the shadows at night tangible. Yet during the day he would do the work, but slowly found out he was a good talker and was able to get others to do it for him. This grew a shed of arrogance, for he found himself as a leader. At 10 he felt as if he did not have to lead a life in this so he ran away from the Home. Throughout his freelance life he practced and practiced, only to be a novice. One day though he did it publicly, though lucky enough to not be seen. Or so he thought, a mage from the acadamy saw this, and at 13 he was tooken in. At 14 he met Elizabeth, a mage from teh Nature dorm who was also 14. She initially became his best friend, but they both fell in love. At 15 they we known to be a great couple. throughout the acadamy it was known of their unique relationship, or more so how someone as beautiful as her was with Lucian, a boy with grey skin, scarred. At 16 it came to know she was suffering from an unknown lung disease that was slowly killing her. This wildly upset Lucian, he grew a fear of losing her. Yet she told him to not worry. When he turned 17 she gave him a gift, his amulet and signant ring. 2 months later she died. this destroyed Lucian bringing forth another incident to where he almost killed himself with his own magick. 4 months after her death he was put on the council.

Appearance: Lucian does most now to cover up his flesh. He wears black robes. The top half folds over like usual robes do, but instead of going down to his feet, they cut at the waist and a sash in front and back both cover his groin and rear down to the knee. He wears black leather gloves ceover up to a good portion of his forearms, also combat robe pants, baggy. But Knee-high boots. He has a hood covering his head, also a cloth covering his nose and mouth. Extending from his hood is a cape. The only flesh that is seen would be around his eyes. And from that you can tell his skin is grey, scared and crackly. His eyes are...pure white. No pupil, nothing. Just white, this is a result of his scarrin from a child.

Alliance: Council

Equipment: He has two items of signifigance to him. His gifts from Elizabeth. One is an amulet, an ahnk, made of obsidian but in the middle holding it all together is a ruby. Also a signant ring on his right ring finger. The gem is violet whilest the metal, or material holding the gem is obsidian.

Weakness: He has a few. One is, he has the potential to be emotionally upsetted. With this he makes great mistakes from his anger, though rare it is possible. He trained himself to have all sorrow turn to anger. Also, he is gifted in magicak arcane arts, not physical combat. Physical attacks usually doo a good amount of damage to him. Also when he uses his magick, he feels pain within, as if his body is twisting and turning. The high the concentration of the magick, the worse the wound on him will be. Also, when he opens a wormhol in his palm, a high amount of energy can badly disfigure his arm, possibly cause it to explode. And overfilling a worm hole meant to hold in power will cause it to explode.

RPG Example: The room which Lucian stood in was deprived of light. Darkness swept within. He had a foe in here as well, he could see him plain as day with his gifted vision. The victim, showing fear, smelling of it looked around in a panic for all he saw was black. "Where are you?!" He screamed with a crackling voice.
Lucian did not respond. He only gazed at his foe with a look of death in his eyes. Feeling darkness around, he took into concentration. Letting out his anger, all of his sorrow into his mind, thinking of past thoughts. Darkness slightly started to swirl, as if a gust of wind blew from no where. In fact the gust was felt by the poor soul. The ddarkness turned into a mist-like form, but slowly solidifying around the victim. Feeling pressure push on him he screamed. Lucian lifted up his hand and slowly closed it as if his prey was in his very palm. Bones breaking, organs bursting could be heard. Then after a high scream all was slient. Lucian drew forth light into the room, his sight returning to normal. All that was left was a pool of blood, and flesh.

Dreams: Lucian keeps his dreams usually to himself. But one to be known is his dream of wanting to end his pain when he uses his gift.

i edited. as for the grammar problems i am dutch and not english. Though my speaking is very good my writing is a little off. i am not planning to get a dictionary for every word, i hope you don't mind this.

I did not know that, I will definatly cut you some slack since I have failed misreably at learning spanish myself...*kneels in a dark corner sadly*

I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION WHERE EVER IT SAYS YIN YANG I MEANT YING YANG SO GO WITH THE SECOND VERSION>.>

*Waves at Joker*

[Chuck the Ninja]

I editted my first council character

[Overlord Darth Fluffles]

>Waved at?<

Am I good? Hehe

[Shobu_Shimizu]

Oh, well oops. Heh, my bad. ^_^() Well, I won't make her over-optomistic then because I'm too lazy to re-type the paragraph again. Optomism will be apart of her personality though.

But other than that, am I accepted?

[KibasStalker]

Nespa: Approved

*sighs*

People people remember this is 2016, hurting children is ILLEGAL. These great families whose wealth comes from magic. And treasure it more than anything in the world. Thiis is my first roleplay and I have learned alot from just these past few days. I do feel as though no one really understands what I am trying to do with this roleplay. I feel very worn out, so this is my final thing to say about the roleplay and I guess if no one sees where it is going than I will just let it flurish as it is, though I really liked my original plot...

[Chuck the Ninja]

So an i accepted or do i have to change something.

[Shobu_Shimizu]

Does that mean that Bing Bing couldn't be beat because it is part of Asian culture. i'm sure no matter what year it is and what laws are made, Asians will continue to beat their children because discipline is a huge deal in Asia. Being Vietnamese, I've experienced it first-hand lol.

And i'm sorry that you're tired. :< Poor Kiba.

[KibasStalker]

You and Shobu_Shimizu are both approved except for the Council Member part. I have not decided which of you will be it, or whether or not it will be either of you at all.

[KibasStalker]

SORRY FOR DOUBLE POSTING, BUT ITS IMPORTANT.

The point I am trying to express is that these kids these young and impressionable kids who are trying to make their way in the world and to change it and be remembered are loved and apprecaited and cared for. They were suppose to expierence for the first time what was like to be on their own to protect themselves and to depend on each other. To cast aside their different oppions and to let magic the beauty of that world bring together as one. I'm afraid I don't think my original idea is going to go and be acheived. I will continue the roleplay and try and do plot advancements, but I doubt the ones I came up with will work.

It doesn't really matter about the beating thing, I left myself open for this when I didn't add so much detail to the original starter post. Everyone wants their character to be different to to not be the sterio type highschool student. But thats what this is most of the kids who go to the Academy are there for highschool. Younger kids can come, but its mainly a highschool. In everyones rush to be different though everyone has the same basic princble as their characters backround. Bad horrible childhoods filled with depressingness and suffering. Every single one, its really harsh for me, a creative person, to see that kind thing in my creation. The beautiful world I painted has been splattered with reds and blacks.

And thats a horrible thing to experience Shobu_Shimizu, I'm sorry that happened or is happening to you.

I AM ALSO LOWERING THE AGE LIMIT TO 18. I miss typed it as 25 in my original microsoft word so it showed up in all of the ones I've sent out. I'm sorry for the confusion, I'm really really really really sorry to you Joker.

[Luzifer]

In response I'm withdrawing both of my characters... I'll make another thats different I'll edit it in here. I'm more than happy to do this.

[Shobu_Shimizu]

Lol, no it's fine Kiba. It's not a bad thing. ^_^ It's only like getting a wooping but just with more thwacks. It's not a kid would get beat till they bled or anything. Lol, you don't have to apologize hun. It's not happening to me because I'm too old for those types of punishment but Asian parents don't spare their older children when they misbehave either.

[KibasStalker]

Thank you Luzifer. I would like one of your characters to be anti-magic still though. I'm heading off to bed, tommorow I will be posting my third character.

Each color below represents a response to the colored statements above.

I'm afraid that the world isn't that perfect.

The day Mages truly become Christian is the day they lose their Magick. x3

(Yellow/bold) Opinions are what makes us different in a sense, and only truely moral and loyal/honorable folk are like that. The fact is that the topic of 'Mage' has been so immersed in solitary ideals and uprisings to power as well as various other more 'negative' things makes for such things. Of course they'll be corrupted at least a little by their power, and those with such power are more likely to have the lives like you've beens seeing. Not only that, there are those who disagree on the world being beautiful. If you wanted Magic users who were more for the side of 'light' you should have used the term 'Wizard', as it's generalized more with those that use magic for the good of others.

They should, unless it involves everybody likeing each other like brothers and sisters.

Obviously, because we all are, or once was, because we were/are in high school. Why would we want to RP the same thing we've lived?

If you are leading towards a more 'negative' description then yes, but most all of them have variants. Skyde was loved, yet it was forced upon his family to let him alone 8 hours a day due to conditions.

I'm a creative person too, and I wanted to make a change from my usual 'Heroic, gallant, shining knight in armor' like characters I usually make one way or another. As I stated before, 'Mage' is associated more negatively then we could say, 'Wizard'.

Just my two cents, if you wanted us to make characters in a certain fashion you should have stated it. Otherwise this general crowd will make things the way we feel like making them within our limits. I'm not one to read other's characters before making my own, because my creativity works on bursts of inspiration. I take what I am inspired to make from my own, and make it.

[Luzifer]

Mage doesn't have any more a negative connotation then wizard. Maybe you have a history of reading fantasy fiction where that is the case but in my experience the only type that have negative connoations is necromancer.

And I think she realized she should have stated it she did apologize for the confusion after all

On a completely unrelated matter, it somewhat depressing that when you I set out to make a somewhat light hearted character I end up with a guy whose goes to a psychiatrist and is proscribed prozac

Name: Wilhelm Kierkegaard
Age: 17
Alias: None
Occupation: Student
Residence: Mind
Ability: Seduction: He has the ability to influence the workings of the human mind and make an individual, regardless of sexual orientation or gender, feel abject lust towards him. Weak-willed people are entirely incapable of disagreeing with him and even the strongest will can’t help but see the validity of his ideas. However, he had this ability sealed away so that he can’t use it.
Personality: A kind individual who holds stead fast to a rigid and inflexible ideology. If he feels that something goes against what he believes he ought to do he will not do it under any duress even if it would save lives or prevent harm to himself or others. This often leads him to make what one might call “poor” decisions that end poorly for himself but he takes these as par for the course.
He believes himself to be sinful by nature and constantly struggles with his sense of guilt and this struggle to try and prove to himself that he is of value is what gives him such a rigid ideological code. He tends to regret things quickly and is fast to point out his faults and areas where he failed, ignoring successes. After all, success is to be expected and should not be rewarded. He will often chastise himself by making himself go for hours or even days without eating and perpetually bears a melancholic and depressed expression.
Sometimes, he will hesitate before he acts, often making sure that what he is doing isn’t in conflict with his beliefs. This give him a seemingly slothful nature, tending to react slowly to things. He suffers from bouts of identity crises where he is unable to determine why he is doing what he is doing and will just stop in the middle of what he is doing and just star into space for a time. This can last for as little as a few seconds but, on occasion, it has lasted hours.

History: Wilhelm was born to a magic family and possessed a strong ability. He could make away one think and do whatever he wanted. He could avoid punishments with the slightest effort and get things from people by merely asking. However, he began to read books on philosophy and gradually he came across the concept known as “free will”. It was immediately apparent to him that his abilities were against free will and he was robbing people of the right to make their own decisions. At this revelation he sunk into a deep melancholy and separated himself from his family, staying out at night and sleeping far from people. He kept trying to come up with a reason for his own exist but he could not come up with one, he began exhibiting early signs of depression and attempted suicide when he was 13.
His family sent him to a psychistrist and he was medicated with Prozac for sometimes but it didn’t help. He refused to take the pills, realizing that Prozac was much like himself, it prevented people from exhibiting free will and acting in concert with their real feelings and emotion. He spiraled deeper into depression. One day, his psychiatrist, a magician himself, revealed that he had the ability to seal and individuals power and Wilhelm demanded that the psychiatrist seal his magic. He did and Wilhelm has since lost his ability to use his magic. He began to recover, however, after several weeks he had a nervous breakdown when it dawned on him he had used a synthetic means of avoid the inherent flaws in his existence but hadn’t explained why he possessed these flaws or what he would do with himself, someone utterly tainted by evil.
He began to view not only his magic, but all magic, as evil, a means of robbing people of their free will. Mankind had been corrupted by money, a means of power which anyone could have and yet still managed to become concentrated in few hands and corrupt… how would mankind deal with magic? Magic which by its nature only the few could learn and study? Magic which could strip an individual of free will and invade the mind? He became some what outspoken of his distaste in magic and lashed out at his family since they were, themselves magicians. He knew this was unfair but the anger and frustration within him begged release. His mother treated this as nothing more than the confusion of youth but his father took personal offense and relations between the two became tense.
He ran away from home over a school break and lived in the woods five miles from his home. He sat their staring at the running water of a stream for a full three days without moving, his body entering into a strange catharsis. He watched the running water and wondered. Gradually, he thought, “I wonder… has anyone seen this part of the creek?” It was a beautiful portion of the creek with a small clump of flowers, the water was clear and he could see shining rocks beneath it. “No… who would be out here?” he thought, “Who would have been chased from his home and come to this place? Its only because of the events of my life…all of those suffereings, that I came to see this place?” Suddenly an epiphany… “Wait… because of my life… only I can see...” he realized why he had been given such a burden of sin. Because only by being of sin, could he truly understand it. He returned home and went back to school.
He has since become an outspoken enemy of magic which has left him somewhat isolated from others within the academy. Despite his epiphany he still suffers from depression, low self-esteem and perpetual melancholy.
Appearance: http://www.comiku.com/anime/ky/asb20.jpg
Alliance: Rogue
Equipment:
-Wears an amulet which acts to maintain the seal on his powers. Its chained to his neck and covered by a belt so that it can’t become dislodged.
-He’s still technically prescribed Prozac so he has a pill bottle but he throws the pills away every night.
Weakness: No Magic, not very physically adept, spaces out, chronically depressed, an his inability to hide the fact he dislikes magic keeps him from making friends, bad grades, honorable to a fault, tends to hesitate, often outthinks himself, doubts himself, not insanely intelligent (defiantly not intelligent enough to compensate for his multifarious faults), his enthusiasm tends to wax and wane sporadically and irrespective to the situation, umm…that’s all I can think of at the moment but I know there are more…
Dreams: To redeem himself for the sin of being born with the taint of his magic.
To find away to seal away magic or prevent its use.

And I think she realized she should have stated it she did apologize for the confusion after all



Eh, you are right Luz meh'pal.

I'm sorry about my rant, but I just really put my soul and creative energies into every stroke of my character's creation and forging, pounding out the roughness and smoothing out the right details to make a new kind of character for myself.

I guess I just lost my cool when she went on about her losing hope on it and what not.

So I apologize for my points and everything. < Bow. >

but at the same time you have to remember that she put her heart and soul into the vision which she tried to imprint into her RP... either way, one side has to give or both have to compromise, and in my mind the deal should always lean a bit more toward the GM since its his or her creation which provides the context for the RPers...

anyway don't apologize its not a big deal

Lol i am not angry it's not like you can smell from which country everyone is. Now you know :P but is my char aproved or do i need more editing. ^^

[Overlord Darth Fluffles]

It's ok Kiba, I only had to edit my age, most of my history, dream, and equipment. In all sense though I don't mind, it's cool.

I hope my character is now acceptable

I will make my post as you did, color cordinated.

Um yeah I know it isn't perfect, but its much better then it was and its not this world. Its not this earth, the same people, and the same history. This is a different world, very similiar to ours which is why I stated the Iraq thing, but different.

Ah *scratches head* where the heck did you get christian. I am no religion in particular. And I often have debates with my very religious best friend agianst it. I would never put it into my roleplay, EVER. (I'm not dissing anyones religion.) I'm sorry if you got the impression that there was religion, but you are wrong.

This is a very good point, but I choose not because of its history because I didn't want to use wizard. "The Academy of Wizardry", now what does that sound like to you? It sounds like "Hogwarts school for Witchcraft and Wizardry" to me. Also these people have manage to keep magic in the families a secret and yes the used it for their own gain, but the thing I wanted people to understand is that the families like what their lifestyle is like they have adapted over hundreds of years so they could have this lifestyle. (Sorry for the run on sentence.)

I defintaly did not plan on them being all happy together. The idea is that as history as shown us, in times of great crisis humans are willing to band together for the common good. Especially if they are all interested in basicly the same thing. My idea is that like history that happens, but also like history the bonds will fall apart to the irrationalization and peoples own wants in compared with others needs.

Obviously you wouldn't want to be who you where in highschool.(with a few exceptions.) But really do you want to be like everyone else. This is suppose to be like a suberb school. A few really rich kids that have almost perfect lives, mostly kids with happy homes that live for their dreams and a few that have bad home lives and are just generally unhappy or out of the normal social class.

Yeah you have a good thing with yours, but it isn't seen as a variant when everybody else has something like it. When you look at the big picture and what people tend to do with characters like that(I understand there is always exceptions.) everyone goes the same route. I want diversity to stir up really new solution. Its like in a equation, 1+2+3=6 well if you mix it up and say one plus two times the square root of three you get a whole new solution that is totally different. (Sorry that i wrote it out once and put it in numbers, but my computer isn't that hightech.)

You don't have to be the extreme on the other side either though. I except your character, its well thought out and detailed. Its frustrating when everyone is also doing that side of the spectrum. It makes the roleplay very uneven. And I have already mention above about the negative thing though I personally don't really see it that way. I think of it as more of the other way around with some exceptions...

[COLOR=white]Okay well this is my first ever roleplay so I don't have alot of experience in directing people better. You can watch some ride a horse for hours and research and come up with all kinds of ways to ride, but when you get up on that horse and kick into a gallop you are still going to fall flat on your behind without practice. I think it is completely silly not to read others post because you can learn alot from them as well as not do the exact same type of character. COLOR]

EDIT: Yeah I just read the posts under tet Sanoske's(sorry for bad spelling). Thanks and I do agree we need to comprimise since most of us put our heart and soul into both things. (On a side note its so weird being called GM. But I defenatly like it :) .) ALso I liked your character alot Tet Sanoske its just hard when alot of people are inspired in similar ways. The scales got to be balanced or the roleplay won't do well in the longrun. (I do hope that this roleplay does well in the longrun. ^.^) Off to eat food then post in the Air Gear, poor Luzifer he can't double post so he can't help with bringing everyone back in!

I'm not the GM or the Co-GM (Unless otherwise asked), but I can tell you that you'd best read the history and add a bit more to what you have down. At this point I'm not sure this 'character' is even fully.. charactable? o-O

I would suggest looking back at the sample character sheet and doing a few revisions.

As for Miss/Mr KibaStalker (Sorry, I'm a bit unsure of your gender), I'm thinking about making a character to more go along with what you are thinking, though Skyde will still be my Ark of sweet RP Nectar .

I'll edit this post if need be with the character.

[KibasStalker]

I keep looking up at my last post because its got a bunch of colors and looks pretty. (<.< >.> <.< >.> I"m not crazy.)

sakura rukia: Unapproved. You must use my character sheet and I would suggest looking at some of the other people whom I have approved. I"m happy though that you want to join the roleplay scene!

EDIT: Your post made me laugh very hard Tet S. Especially since just these past few days I've been thinking about whether people know what gender I am. Though it does hurt alittle I can understand you not wanting to say anything for fear of being wrong. I am, for everyones info, a GIRL.

Luzifer: Approved

[Luzifer]

woot I guessed right!

[Inc0gnit0]

I have a lot to say so bear with me...I don't usually help GMs but you seem to think you're in way over your head. I have much experience as a GM even though most of the RPs I start HERE usually attract very little attention due to their particular nature. However, something is the same in all RPs I've EVER been in. PRACTICALLY EVERYONE RPs the same. It's a sad truth but it's a truth none the less. Nobody wants to lose their character which they inately got attached to therefore no one kills off their character.

No one wants to play a weak little person with no influence on the grand scheme of things therefore everyone makes extra powerful characters. No one wants to follow the traditional mold, so everyone makes a mysterious loner kind of person. It's kind of ironic because everyone tends to do that so that should be the norm and making a typical character has become rare. I'll admit, even I tend to make characters who are quite powerful, they have weaknesses but they tend to have power behind them, I have made a few that were really weak but it's not a generality. Due to these fundamentals God modding and lucy lueing become frequent in RPs especially those that involve a lot of fighting. I've always considered RPs to be stories.

Stories that has many authors and that each has a different view on how the story should go. I believe that RPs can create crazy stories just because of how diverse some peoples imaginations can be. However, most people don't consider it as such. People use RPs most of the time to create a character and become that character. That way of thinking is why characters become overly powerful and never die. If people lost touch with these characters that they make FOR THE SAKE of the story then RPing would be 10 times better because it would A be a lot more realist (for christ sake the environments we create are insanely dangerous yet no one ever dies...odd) and B a lot more enjoyable for everyone. This is however, an issue you can't directly do much about. I have tried but every RP I have started that follows a story kind of structure ends up attracting very little attention.

People don't want to try, people just want the same old boring thing over and over again. That's why there are no more RPs that last for hundreds of pages like I've been on before and that actually existed on this site before. People don't care for the story therefore as a whole the stories tend to collapse. Because you addressed this issue and its one that has been addressed many times I felt I should give you my personal insight. There isn't much you can do about it to be perfectly honest. The only solution is to be selective in who you allow into your RP but as a result you end up with too few RPers. It's a dilemna I face everytime I start RPs unfortunately.

As for the whole integrity of your story I understand your position. Yes, you could have been a bit more precise in your starting post but that is irrelevent and besides the point. You could have also asked people to change their characters straight away when they posted them but once again you probably noticed the trend too late. The thing with being a GM, or DM or anything that involves being the person in charge in those kinds of things, you will realize that ANYTHING can happen. The chances of your plan being followed by everyone is practically 0. Everything screws up in practice. Everyone has a different view on how things should happen and as a result things diverge. The role of the GM is not only to provide the setting and starting plot but the role of the GM is mostly to structure and envelope all those ideas so they don't go COMPLETELY crazy.

However, you don't want to start monopolizing ideas or else it defeats the whole purpose of RPing. The role of a GM is to understand that his plan will probably not be followed and adapt to the situation. Before you even post an RP you should have many different ideas incase certain things happen and even then it's impossible to plan for everything. As a result it becomes a skill that you develop which is one to adapt with any situations. As a result I tend to make worlds and laws and not plots. I put a world on the table and then people put the characters and then I make this little thing to spark things up but generally I don't have a master plan for everything. If you do you end up working a lot for nothing if it isn't followed.

I know it's a pain when you worked really hard to do something and it ends up going in a completely different direction but that is the essence of RPing and why it is so different then writing a story despite similarities. What can help structure your RPs a bit is as a GM your character should be influencial in the story. It should impact the major decisions in a way that you loosely have control on how things go without monopolizing what happens. But that is a personal decision and I was just giving a tip.

By the way the last thing I wanted to ask is if the character I PMed you is approved. Personally I would like it if the age thing remained the same but I have no problems changing it if it really bugs you. Also I did involve the whole family thing in my sign-up however, if you want I can try to tweak my character a bit to follow your story even closer. Also considering this teacher would be my main character I could help structure things a bit if you need help. Anyway just PM me worst comes to worst.

Anyway...you'll be fine. I'm sure you'll do a great GM.

P.S: another big problem is multiple characters but that's an other issue completely...I remember the good old days when people only played one character...lol

[KibasStalker]

Wow that was a lot and a bunch of it really makes sense. I can see what you mean with what you were saying. I though don't think multiple characters are a bad thing because well we just don't have enough roleplayers for everyone to only play one character.

[.Gogo]

I've been watching this thread closely recently because of all the discussion posts going on. I've allowed it because they've been relevant to the development of this RPG, and because there were so many responses to what was said, although I do feel the need to remind everyone that while this is being allowed now please do not get comfortable with being too off topic in sign up threads. Much of these things could have been moved to pm, so please take that into consideration before you make posts in a sign up thread.

Thanks guys. ^_^

anyway this is my character....hope its all right, I did have to completely change him lol...sorry for the change in size...changing it is pissing me off :P

Ability: Derek can feel and manipulate the moisture present in both the ground and the air around him. As a result he can move it around and decrease its temperature to freezing point. His power comes from the fact that he can decrease the temperature right over freezing point then immediately freeze everything in one instant that he wants to freeze.

Derek can also manipulate ice as long as the pieces are larger then a marble and smaller then a desk. This lets him create dangerous ice projectiles, create makeshift ice prisons and simply create ice pretty much wherever he wants and manipulate it. Derek can even create his own blizzards by shattering the ice he has control over. Any ice under his control can be shattered at will by breaking apart the ice itself into shapes he sees fit.

This power is just a physical manifestation of Derek’s strength in elemental manipulation. He can manipulate pretty much any element not just ice however his specialty remains ice and Derek tends not to manipulate other elements. Ice is just what Derek likes using and he has been able to master it with time to such a level that he has become quite fearsome with it.

Personality:


Derek is a snob plain and simple. He grew up never needing and joined the academy for mages with the same mentality. Having everything he ever desired at his fingertips Derek grew up taking things and especially people for granted. In his villa in southern Canada Derek got everything but friends. Derek spent all his life with people who obeyed his every command it is kind of understandable that he never really developped much social skills. As a result Derek tends to ignore authority and especially other students seeing them as a waste of his time.

As a result of this personality Derek grew much hate for the council. That council taht everybody revered more then the teachers themselves. Derek loathed their popularity and their « prestance » believing he deserved to be a council member much more then those five. Realizing for the first time in his life that not EVERYTHING is within his grasp Derek slowly started developping additional resentment for the people around him. However, this resentment was deep and Derek decided that out of need he would have to interact with other students.

Derek still stays usually in his own corner doing his own things but now he at least sometimes communicates with others even though he sees it as a pain and only does it out of need. Derek usually gets in a lot of trouble with the teachers which he has a hard time to cope with. Derek is a good student that is not the problem but he tends to think so highly of himself that even teachers tend to sap his time that he could otherwise put to better use.

Even his power fits well with his personality. Derek is cold and secluded and has always seen himself in the ice he manipulates.

History:

Derek is an only child to one of the prestigious families of mages. His father who made his fortune in the diamond industry is one of the richest men in north america. As a result Derek never really had to work hard to get what he wanted far from it. Derek grew in a household where his mother and father were rarely there and he was usually under the care of nannies and other servants. Derek never really knew strict authority or social interaction. Derek started being homeschooled as early as the age of 5 where he learnt quite a bit with some of the best teachers in Canada but still there he seemed to pace the classes and not the other way around.

Derek’s parents saw that this would not be a good thing for Derek in the future. Social skills were important in this age of globalization however, social skills could not be learnt they had to be gained through experience. At the age of 18 Derek was put into the academy for mages which his father attended before him. Upon entering this very different environment he knew quite quickly that his life would change forever.

It was the first time in his life that Derek wasn’t completely in control of everything around him and it angered him. Derek hid behind a snob and narcissic demeaner to avoid having to deal with other students and even teachers. But there was no students or teachers that Derek hated more then the council. He hated but mostly envied the council’s position in power. Everyoen revered them but Derek loathed them and plotted against them. Derek truly believed that he deserved to be a council member but his hate grew with time.

[SIZE=3]He started fooling himself in believing that the council members were a plague ont he school. That these students in charge were bad for the school and started justifying his thoughts with this logic. He started « thinking » that by gettign rid of the council or at least changing it that the school would be better off. Derek being in the dorm of nature obviously wanted that dorm’s council member position and this year Derek would finally once again start gettign everythign he wants once again.

Appearance:

Derek is very small measuring 5"5 and weighing about 125 pounds. This small size of his just seems to reinforce his youth and has always caused him to curse it. He has very piercing almost silvery blue eyes that contrast nicely with his dark brown hair. His hair that he spikes to give him a harsher look.

Derek goes around in an expensive suit as a way of showing off his wealthy background. Black clean pants, shined shoes and a tie obviously goes with it.Around his neck hangs a silver necklace with a cross which was a present from his mom and he never takes it off. However, it is usually hidden under his collar. Around his right wrist he has a large leather wrist band with the symbol of a 4 pointed star with a broken circle at its center engraved on it.

Alliance: the school (not the council though Derek doesn’t like the council)

Equipment: He usually goes around with a black leather briefcase.

Weakness: The main weaknesses to his powers come from the limitation of his skill. Derek cannot create water per say nor can melt the water he freezes himself. Therefore once the water is frozen he can't really change it anymore. Also when the ice becomes too small Derek loses touch with it and he can't manipulate it which usually happens on contact with certain surfaces, the ice shatters and becomes too small. Therefore Derek's power depends on the ammount of water present in the environment around him.

RPG Example: you’ve Rped with me before…you know my what my Rping looks like lol…if you really want an exampel though it’ll have to wait until tommorrow, I’m getting off the cpu now.

Dreams: Derek’s dreams are that of ambition. Derek’s ambition to be revered is pretty much his only reason of living and isn’t the social skills his parents wanted him to gain at school. As a result Derek wants to gain a seat where he can be revered and that seat currently belongs to the council. As a result Derek’s dream is to either shatter the council which in itself is practically impossible or take the place of the nature dorm council member

[KibasStalker]

I haven't finished reading your character Incognito, but I really really like your character so far and can't wait to see what he does in the roleplay...:)

Incognito: Approved. The earth dorm council member thats very risky ;). I don't apprecate though what you put for your RPG Example. Thats not just for me its also for other people to guage your skills and I think it helps others and newbies see what really good rpers write like. So show us your skills. :D

EDIT: Hey tommorow by 3:30 I would like everyone I've approved to PM me, as well as people waiting for my approval so I know how long it will be untill we start the roleplay. And cause I may have lost track... See you all tommorow! :)

[Shobu_Shimizu]

About my suggestion I gave you earlier in the PM, are you still considering mine and Hollow's position as council members or what?

[Tetsanosuke]

Well, being a hardy GM myself I always enjoyed using only one character. I've done up to 11 characters at once, including NPCs and it's just too spread out. But the only reason I wanted to try to make another for this is because I was hoping it would introduce change.

As well as all the talk about the 'depressive backgrounds' or unfortunate pasts, the human mind is attracted to tragedy and because of that it becomes much easier for us to make a worthwhile and juicy background when we have such a plethora of ill-feigned yet so 'interesting' bad things we can use. Usually it's hard to make a full and more then three sentence background with something as easy as above to put (At least that's what I noticed).

Even in more happier or otherwise 'normal' or 'upright' characters theirs usually something that motivates them that's more or less negative. Like Luteous from Ocheana, his father was a part of the Alenas Military, a warrior. When his father died he took up his father's way and followed footsteps in his search for the point of battle and war.

So basically there's some ideas on why characters usually stem like that, in the norm. So don't blame others because they are happy with depressing pasts. But you can just go with it, I'm sure that some unmeager reasons will bring them all together in the end anyway. (Like how Skyde basically believes that anything that would threaten his learning [The school] would become his adversary. He's not a very nice, upright and happy person but he does have goals, and whatever he has to do to achieve them wont stop him from doing such. )

As for what you were all saying about making a character to just make a character and be that character, well that's something many people see role playing only as. Taking the Role of Someone else. Though I'm more partial to making a 'story', the fact is that not everyone is writing your story, and not every one wants to write your story only. But when you point out more things, and try to make it a group effort then surely you can find a way to pull it off in the long run.

I myself made it so that Skyde would be affected my the actions of the council, because the school is his means to an end. So with that I was trying to integrate him into the story in that manner. You mess with the school you mess with him. And as your opening history goes, the Government seems just a little bit suspicious.

And of course people want powerful characters. Power is something all humanity wants to some degree, and to Role play as some one with power brings such excitement. But the better off RPer's should know that even with power their are limitations. Using Skyde as an example again (Yes, I know, blah blah blah), his power is crazy yes, but because it's insane it takes more to use it's real deal things. Small things aren't too bad, as with any 'run of the mill' magic user in 'senior high' magic school.

Anyway, Yes Mia, I'll be sure to watch it with my posts. And anyway here's my character I was promising:

Name: Daikyo (Dyne) Sho Mikegami
Age: 32
Alias: Ligh Fafnir
Occupation: Teacher: Magic Smith, Internal Focation, Magical History.
Residence: The Teachers Lodge? ( Not sure where teachers stay. If in the Dorm's he'd be in the Craft Dorm I believe. )

Ability: He's basically a Metal Manipulator. His powers stem from his iron will and steel forged nerves. He has control over Metallic alloys and pure metals, using them to create whatever it is he so thinks he needs. But it goes further then just that, with his learning he became able to manipulate metals at their 'essential' (As in, of essence) level. He can change the denisty of metals, change the magnitism, and almost like a Metal-tele-kinesis (Manipulating through his energies the metal through it's states. ) this includes manipulating it into a liquid state by changing the melting points and turning it back.

Personality: Like his power, he's as strong as steel and as bright as the shining metals reflection in the sun. A harsh exterior only hides the true kindness and optimism this teacher holds about everything. His students are like his children, and he teaches using a stern hand yet a caring perspective. Rarely ever nervous, though he can be quiet, he finds that being hopeful and free flowing tends to work out better then isolation and selfish bickering.

History:
Born into a family of metal manipulators and Technopaths he was well immersed in the world of magic all his life. He was Japanese, though born in South Korea. He lived their for half of his young life, about six years. His other six years were lived out in Okinawa Japan where they had enough space to do their business deeds and still keep themselves off the radar. It was from the time he was able to even comprehend magic that he started forging his cherish sword, Balmung, and he'd 'spiritually temper' it with all his heart and soul from then on.

By the time he was about twelve or fourteen, he went to the Mage Academy to hone and perfect his skills so he could join the family handy man business. Although that plan was short lived when he finally decided after graduation that he'd apply to teach at the school, where he had such great memories and experiences. He wanted to make sure that the kids he'd teach would have similar memories, and be able to appreciate magic for what it was, and how it affected the world. Again his sword symbolized his believe in hope and building for yourself a future through the tools you have.

But his family had once been on the verge of being found out by the Japanese government, so he had left the school for several years to aid them in hiding, making sure they safely made it back to South Korea, where they hoped they'd finely be released from the jeopardy at hand.

He has return to teach the classes he had to leave just three years prior, and now he only can hope for the best with all the Government conflicts going on. But he knows one thing regardless, he'd never ever allow his students to get hurt, not when he could do something about it.

Appearance:

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c173/TKolliker/Anime_Warrior_by_chaotixwolf.jpg
See the equipment area for details on the sword.

Alliance: He's loyal to his family, but because he's a teacher he's with the school. If he has to be next to the council to aid the school, then so be it.

Equipment:


Balmung (Bahl-muh-nck): The sword he usually always has at his side. It's a sword that he had started to create and temper when he was young and first learning. Ever since then he 'Spiritually Tempered' it, every time he made an achievement he improved it's quality with his magical energies. Just like any other metal, he can melt it down and control it at his will. The only thing is other metal manipulators cannot. All the years of him entering his energies into the blade to mold and forge it, it can only react in such a manner to his energies (Other then general magnetism).

Scrap Seven: Basically he carries seven golf ball sized spheres of metal which are in-tuned to his magical energies sort of like Balmung, because they were made by reusing the scraps and reforming them within and without the outer line of the blade that's so dear to him. Like Balmung, these spheres cannot be manipulated by other Metal Manipulators (But they are still affected by magnetic force like any other metal that he could use)
Weakness: His metals are strong, and can stand up to many things regular metals cannot. (Or at least any metal he's not wielding.) But if there is no metal for him to use then he is powerless, other then his physical savvy (His sword training with Balmung, is enough for any sword like object). But beyond all that, metal can be a very limited thing to use and dangerous to boot. Things like Electricity, and EMPs can really either shake him up (EMP) or hurt like hades (Electricity). Being a metal manipulator means you are a lightning rod, unless you use it excruciatingly carefully.

RPG Example: You've seen mine already with Skyde. ^^;

Dreams: He dreams of a world were magic can be widely known and accepted. He also dreams of making his students try their best in the magic world, making sure they are strong enough to go on in the real world with their powers.

EDIT: I wont be able to PM you tomorrow, I have plans. ^^; At least not 3 : 30

[ThunderBird]

Name: Evanial Cerusso
Age: 17
Alias: none
Occupation: student
Residence: Dorm of Nature
Ability: He has a basic control over fire, ranging from lighting a candle to making small explosions. He uses his own body heat and the heat around him to create a flame, adding in friction from his fingertips.

Personality: He’s a kind, caring person and is friendly to everyone. He’s usually calm and relaxed about things and doesn’t rush when it comes to doing work.

History: Evanial was born into a slightly rich family of mages, though his father was the mage and his mother was just a normal human. Because of the two mixes, his father, along with his father’s brother and his grandfather, that he hadn’t inherited any magic and was going to grow up as a normal boy. But at around the age of 5, Evanial had started showing signs of magic, manipulating flames of the fireplace to grow which had often caused a small fire. Though his butler was always there to douse the flames before it burned down the house. His mother had started noticing those things and his father couldn’t keep his family secret, a secret from her. Upon telling her that magic did exist, and showing her proof, she had asked him that once Evanial was old enough, to get a tutor and teach him how to control his power. As Evanial grew older, his father had gotten his brother to become his son’s tutor. Evanial’s uncle, Raphael, had taught him all the basic knowledge of controlling fire since his brother had instructed him to do no more than that. But it wasn’t enough for Evanial, he wanted to learn more, to control fire better to the point where he didn’t have to worry about burning down his house or setting people on fire. He had told his parents about this, and his mother had rejected the idea, but his father convinced her that it was a good idea. And they made a deal that on his 17th birthday, he’d be sent to the Academy of Mages.

Appearance: http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g26/kc2693/a2a28feb.jpg

Equipment: A silver ring with a cross etched into the top side of it, a family heirloom he had inherited from his father for his 14th birthday. A black pup with a few white patches on his back, which Evanial named him Patches because of the white patches.

Weakness: Lacks complete knowledge on controlling himself and can easily lose control if angered or gets too ahead of himself and excited.

RPG Example: Evanial plopped down on his bed in his dorm, smiling as he was finally able to relax. He had been stuck on a plane for hours and had just arrived at the academy. He had flown from London, England since his father had decided to move from Italy back to where he originally came from, England. Evanial looked up at the ceiling an started wondering what everyone was doing. His mother was probably still crying in his room like she had been when he was packing. ‘Honestly, I’m 17 and I have magic, I think I can handle being away from my parents.’ He thought as he sat up, looking at his ring before taking it off and playing with it between his thumb and index finger. Patches came out from his bag after trying to sniff out some of his doggy treats. He tugged on his owner’s sleeve, wanting to play. “I should have brought your ball along…” He told the pup, scratching him behind his ear.


Hope this is good, if not, I'll change what's necessary

EDIT: I added in the appearance now

[Inc0gnit0]

I'm sorry kiba, I had made an actualy sample using this character but it got lost when I pressed reply and it bugged up and I had forgot to copy liek I usually do X_X. As a result of not wanting to retype that whole thing again because I just don't feel like it anymore lol the RP sample is not using this character and was my RP sample for my own RP. I repeat this character is named the same and has practically the same powers but it is not the same character nor is it even in the same world.

RP Example:

Cold. Do I feel cold? Such a stupid question. Does snow feel cold? Of course not. I am constantly frozen yet at the same time I will never feel cold again. My heart, my soul, my body is constantly gripped by a dark cold that will never go away, a cold only near-death experiences can give. A cold caused by almost freezing to death. Nothing will ever feel cold anymore, everything is warmer then my body now, I am frozen solid and will remain such for the rest of my life. My name is Derek, Derek Coldheart and my life wasn’t always this way…

« Is that all you got weakling? » Derek had a smirk on as he watched his opponent struggle with his simple attacks. He had attacked him with ice projectiles from different angles and had already managed to cut his right arm quite severely. « If that’s everything then how do you expect to beat me? »

« Shutup! I’ll show you! » The kid who looked about 16 rammed his hands into the ground. A huge shockwave followed as a huge snake of rock errupted from the ground behind him. Derek smirked as he put his goggles over his eyes. The battlefield was a small rocky plain with cliffs all around. There was unfortunately no exterior source of water so Derek would have to finish this in one false swoop. « You ready Derek? Ready for my ultimate attack? »

Derek’s smirk didn’t disapear, he hadn’t even unsheathed Aisu Soshaku yet and this kid was already talking trash to him. Also he didn’t really like the fact that this kid, this worthless fighter was addressing him by his name as if they knew each other. I’ll have to crush him to a pulp for that thought Derek. “Charge!” The kid seemed very confidant as the huge snake of rock rushed towards Derek in the intent of finishing the job. “pfft…” Derek unsheathed Aisu Soshaku and threw it in the air before slapping his palms together. The sword slowly lowered into the ground at his feet before disappearing into the soil as though it were water. Derek then dived quickly sideways to avoid getting torn to pieces. However, the kid didn’t seem impressed as he quickly directed the snake back at him. Once again the snake missed and bit a bite full of dirt instead. Derek turned to face the kid, his smirk still illuminating his otherwise cold face.

“Feel my Aisu Nendai (ice age) kid!”

“You’re what?”

“MY ICE AGE!” Then Derek placed his palm on the ground and out of nowhere the ground froze over. About a foot of ice covered the whole battlefield. The kid’s snake of rock became stuck in the ice and even the kid’s feet seemed stuck in the ice that had surged out of nowhere. A little chuckle escaped from Derek as he slowly stood back up. The kid had at least managed to get his feet free but his snake of rock was stuck there for a while. “You’re a fool Derek you lost your sword! You’re defenseless!” He then charged at Derek with a smile on his face as if he had finally found a way of defeating him. Novices…The kids expression was priceless when Derek blocked his sword with a sword made completely of ice that had surged form the ground next to him. “What kind of fighter would I be if I left myself that defenseless…be gone…” Derek then hit the kid on the sternum with his palm which sent him coughing backwards.

Derek then planted the sword back into the ice and then yelled: “Botsu! Or for you… RISE!!! Feel the calm before the storm, feel the sinking feeling of defeat!” hundreds of Aisu Soshaku replicas made of ice were formed all over the battlefield. Derek picked up two of them and charged at the kid. He barely managed to block the assault before the swords made of ice broke in two and Derek was forced to replace them by two more. The kid finally managed to jump back and regroup after Derek had stabbed him in the side. The kid’s hot blood fell on the cold ice covering everything around them. “It’s time…” Derek threw the swords he was holding to the ground then clapped his hands together. “Buro-kun yaiba buriza-do…” All the sword replicas immediately shattered into thousands of little fragments all around the battlefield.

The kid finally realizing the predicament he was in erected a dome of solid soil around him managing barely to reach the soil through the ice right as Derek ordered all those tiny shards to close in on their foe. The barrier saved his life but many shards found their way through and cut the kid at various areas. The shock also broke down the barrier but the kid was still standing. Bleeding hard and panting but standing. Derek smirked. “You’re still standing…congratulations!” The kid smirked. “Is that all you got?”

Derek laughed. “Actually no!” Derek then closed his fists hard and all the ice covering the battlefield shattered into tiny shard shards that once again covered the whole battlefield. The kid’s exclamation of surprise was lost in the loud rush of this man made blizzard coming to kill their foe. Once again the kid erected a barrier but it broke pretty quickly and he was slashed to pieces. When the dust settled Derek was surprised to see the kid once again standing. His whole body was covered in blood and Derek wasn’t sure he could actually move but he was standing. Stubborn… “look kid just give up…”

The kid managed to struggle a smirk on his face that was otherwise contorted in pain. “Why would I do that? You’ve got nothing left. I figured out how your attacks work. You freeze the water present in the atmosphere however; you can’t actually create water or turn your ice back into water. I also noticed that once the shards break too small you can’t control them anymore. You froze all of the water at your disposition for this final attack. You’ve got nothing left.”

“You are completely right that’s how my attacks work however, you made one slight miscalculation. Aisu Soshaku which is currently underground had been at work while you tried to survive my deadly blizzard. The whole time it’s been underground it’s been moving water particles above ground and decreasing their temperature. Where are those water particles you ask? Let’s find out now shall we! Botsu Aisu Soshaku!” Aisu Soshaku then dived right out of the ground into Derek’s hand as a path of ice formed between Derek and the kid. The kid’s legs were also caught in ice. “I didn’t even use my skates…too bad…” Derek then ran along the path of ice and jumped high his sword over his head ready to slash the kid in half. However, right before his hit actually came all the ice around him, the path and the one surrounding the kids legs shattered into a cloud of ice. The kid surprised didn’t manage to block Derek’s attack and was cut in half. As the shards of ice settled Derek looked back at the bloody mess. “Game-over kid.”

The simulation ended and Derek found himself once again lying down with a plastic helmet covering his face. Derek was forced into a sitting position by the folding of the bed/chair. The plastic helmet rose off his head and Derek took a few seconds to get used to the light and noise surrounding him. The large screen he was now facing had the huge golden letters “VICTORY” on it and a picture of the character he had just used. Derek pushed himself on his feet grabbing his cane to support his fake leg. The kid he had just defeated looked just like the guy that was now standing in front of him with his hand held out. Derek looked at the hand and pushed it away as he wobbled away. Derek ignored the voices behind him and walked on. He had fought enough today, none of those weaklings were ever a match for him. He needed to find someone stronger…her needed to feel the cold sting of a blade finally managing to make it to his body.

His bed felt dry and useless. He knew he wouldn’t get any sleep tonight either. For the past few months he’s been forced to take pills to sleep but this chemical rest wasn’t what Derek called sleep, it was rest that his body required but it wasn’t sleep. Derek swallowed the two small pills and lied down on his bed as the pills took effect and he fell into the dark abyss of his nightmares.

It’s cold…all I can feel is cold. I can’t breath it’s as if the cold has already frozen my lungs and they have ceased to function. I know this is stupid and it’s just that the water surrounding me is preventing me from breathing but it’s all I can think of. It’s dark all around. I’m not sure if I’m right side up or upside down. I can’t make out any direction, any light or any noise. The only sense still working is my sense of touch…my sense of feel…the sense that’s telling me the only thing I can feel is this cold grip. I can’t see Mary…I can’t see dad, I can’t see mom. I don’t even know what happened. One second I was reading the latest edition of Hebdo Hockey and the next second I find myself in this world of cold and darkness. Is this hell? Am I dead? How did it happen? All I can remember is this cold. I know…I will never be warm again…what is this?

That’s always his last thought before he wakes up. He’s had this nightmare practically every night since the accident. He just keeps on reliving that scene over and over again. When he wakes up is when he knows he falls unconscious and he knows that the what’s this is the arm of a cop that saved his life but every night he wonders what that long gloved tentacle-like thing is and only when he wakes up does he remember what it was. It’s a freaky sensation when you wake-up and realize you know more awake then when actually in the nightmare even though the situation is the same. It’s as if I get totally immersed in the situation and am brought back a few months back, as if I am actually reliving the accident. It’s a terrifying thought.

I go on and on. Day after day showing off my superiority in this new discipline of mine. Living off the money of my former life hoping to become once again the best in something. I look at my crippled body and swear at everything it will never be able to accomplish. I swear at my rotten luck and at everything I will never know as a result. I swear for the sake of swearing. My life seems to go on for only one reason and that is to crush weaker fighters. When will this stupid and utterly useless cycle end? I don’t even know why I bother trying to succeed in this now. I know full well that things out of my control can easily rip me of that dream too. But I continue fighting. I continue fighting because it’s all I know now…all my new life is made of and unfortunately my past life is now unreachable. Damned cold.

[KibasStalker]

THE DORM OF NATURE IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED. I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY CHARACTERS FOR THAT DORM.

I printed the two new character sheets and will read them at lunch tommorow. Then when I get home I will voice my decision.

History: Psrie's parents, Higa and Morien, were working for England. When Higa died Morien stopped his work swamped with grief for his wife. At which time England's government decided to kidnap, Lina, Psrie's sister, and ransomed her demanding that Morien come back. When he finally did he discovered that Lina had died in captivity. Desprately he sent his only remaining family member, Psrie, to Asia and more specifically the Academy. Psrie nearly didn't agree but Morien forced her. As a way for his daughter to remember him he gave her Moonlight. (gah...I had a huge mingraine yesterday forgive me)

"Psrie, why won't you go? You'll be safer there until I figure out a way to elude England" Morien said. England was his term for the government.

"I can't. Not without...where will you go?"

Morien struggled for a moment and passed a hand over his eyes. This was the second time in three days this argument had happened. Morien sighed. He walked into a another room for a moment. His beloved cat Gilda had died in birthing and Psrie had fallen in love with one of her kittens. The kittens were old enough they didn't have to be bottle-fed anymore. He leaned down and captured a baby. Then he went to Psrie. "Keep him with you and think of me, daughter"

[Kyuubi Naruto]

So sorry for this accidental post.

[Inc0gnit0]

uh...2 things. First off fullmetal I'm pretty sure the academy is in asia and not in the united states. And second, Kibas I was wondering if you were going to make a list of everyone in the RP at the end of the sign-up thread with maybe their name in the RP. It's just because the sign-up thread is quite extensive and also there seems to be a lot of people joining. A bit like you having us PM you to make sure you know who is still interested I suggest for our own clarity for you to make a list like that. How many people in this RP anyway? Like 12, 15?

@Incognito: THAT WAS AN ACCIDENTAL POST. You might want to read above and edit what you just said.

[KibasStalker]

Hello everyone sorry I wasn't on earlier, but I layed down on my bed for a moment and enjoy the relaxation and woke up 3 and half hours later to my father banging on the door that its time to wake up and babysit my brother... But at least I will be able to stay up really late tonight an get things in order. And yes Incoginito I will be making a list I'll get confused If I don't! Oh and by the way great job on your Example I liked the fight scene it was well written and that will be great asset to you in the roleplay.

Thunderbird: Approved.

FullMetal: I've said it once I'll say it agian nobody knows before hand that people are being ransomed. Since your a seer though I understand. What you can do is in your first few posts have the vision of the kidnapping. You can be one of the seers who knows whats going on. Also the school is in the deep forests of Asia not america. Your post is good I like that you added dialoge so I won't scold you for the whole seperation thing, but you need to edit the things above and you will be good.

Tet.S.: I am pming you with some info so after you respond to that I will approve or unapprove...

Hey everyone I'm going to take a break from the computer because my wrists are killing me from all this typing, but I will be back on later and work on getting that list to you! Later loves.

[Tetsanosuke]

Confirmed, and PM'd in return. My second character has been withdrawn.

[KibasStalker]

I really do dislike when things conflict and peoples characters have to be completely scraped so I'm really sorry about that. Just to let everyone know I will be posting the people here(regarding dorms as well) And we really need students for the dorm of craft. I love all the attention the roleplay is getting, but that is the most commen dorm and I still don't have a dorm leader for Craft, Mind, and I'm still accepting people who may want to lead the dorm of Stregnth. If I don't get any for the Dorm of Craft with in the next two days I will make my other character (Whom I have yet to post) be the Council member. Thank you everyone, I will see you later.

~KS

[Chuck the Ninja]

If you want i can change my council character to th mind form and be its Council member.

[Tetsanosuke]

EDITED THANKS TO LUZY.

Name: Dionisia Sarah Heralty
Age: 17
Alias: Paper Cut
Occupation: Council Member.
Residence: Dorm of the Craft.

Ability: To say it out straight, she is 'Paper-Kinetic'. Though she can control and manipulate wood, at best her talents are reared from paper. She has the ability to strip trees of their wood and create sheets of paper, where after such she can manipulate the shape, size (to some degree) and composition of the paper to become superdense (enough to block bullets and projectiles, depending). She can also create weapons or animals out of paper like origami, but the more powerful the weapon or beast shape, the more paper and focus she needs. Her alias stems from the fact that she can make the most dangerous paper cuts in the world, literally.

Personality: Dionisia is an outright intelligent and at times very 'bookwormish' type of young woman. She holds the education and practices of her fellow students in high regards as to how she views them. Never one to slack off much, she finds the actual ideal to be annoying. " When their's work to be done, it is wise to do it right away. " As you may notice, she's not too shy yet not too outgoing. She cares about the wellbeing of all the students and just as well would take a blow for any under her wing.

History:
Dionisia was born in raised in Greece until the age of eleven, where then she traveled about the world until she was fifteen. All during the time she was well raised by her family to study and reach the top of her class, home schooled by the elite teachers of mind magics that her family was compromised of. She received the recessive gene of Craft Magic, her greatest gift was the ability to take wood and strip it, and form it into paper.

She made so much progress traveling around the world with her family, that when they reached Japan they looked into gift shops in the harbor. She saw a small book for origami and let her mind run rampant. This was about age 7 when she started with small origami, folding and sealing the paper with her mind like Magical paper melding ( Lack of that one word.. Masheat? ). Over the years she discovered that she could do much more then sit there and fold paper with her mind and focus, but she eventually found out she could make it sharp at it's edges, sharper then the cleanest and sheerest blade, only a laser would seem sharper.

After saving a few people in her family from accidents with her powers on accident, only out of instinct, she found that her gift was quite amazing. From then on she always carried an empty (of writing) journal with her, making sure she was always well stocked.

When Dionisia came to the school she was already ahead of her class, and by the grace of her loving family and her powers that she had honed, her face was found on a spot in the council, where she watched over the students as well as she could for two years.

Appearance:
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c173/TKolliker/rp.png
She fits the bill. xD

Alliance: Council
Equipment:

Leather Bound Journal: A journal she always keeps with her ( Strapped around her shoulder ), each page folded over to add length to her sheets. Each page is folded over three times, offering her enough thin paper to expand and use. She can reform any unused paper she has left after her magic back into pages in the Journal.

Various note cards, specially cut to be available in times of need.

Black Scarf (Surn): A magically woven silk scarf that has the affinity and essence of paper magically etched within it. Though it can't expand like she can somewhat do to other sheets of paper, in times of great need she can use the scarf as a blunt force or shield at best.

Weakness: She wields paper and wood, meaning fire is a NO NO. Even if she could focus the composition of the paper to not burn, she's not a master yet and it would usually prevail after a long enough time. It's even tougher when she's manipulating 'created origami creatures', because they are usually further from her meaning more focus upon their very composition.

RPG Example: Yet again, Skyde holds my sample. ^^;;

Dreams: She hasn't many dreams or aspirations. She wants to make sure that her students under her are safe and LEARNING. Other then that she wishes to graduate and become a writer, maybe cutting wood and aiding in her families various businesses ( Yes, they must have a few craft magicians at least. The gene is recessive).

[Luzifer]

um...Tet... Parchment is made out of sheepskin... it doesn't really make sense that it goes from "wood/paper" to "parchment"... but thats only a technicality so you can ignore it if you want...

[Tetsanosuke]

Thanks. xDDDDDD I'll edit it then.

I wasn't sure.

Yeah, you needed a council character for craft so I busted out my imagination loins and provided.

[KibasStalker]

Loins o-0... *twitch twitch* Lovely okay well I'm off to read the tets character, if I approve I would like my character for craft to be yours assitant.

I'm also going to decifer our three pages of posts to find all the characters and what not because no really pmed, but its my responsiblity and my mind will be at ease when its done so off I go...

Tet.S.: Yay! Approved quite a interesting abilities, love the creativeness. I would also give her a maniplation over more directly woodworking as well though she is best and more difintive in her paper/wood magic. Okay well I will wait for your response...I guess I should post that character first.

YING YANG PEOPLE YING YANG..... And I've already approved (officially) Tets craft character. And I believe I approved hollows second character too...maybe I'm forgetting, but that is what I meant to do though none of his characters are council members. Also please Note that the Nature dorm and Ying Yang dorm are closed.

Okay here is my other character:

Name:Abram Fondane
Age: 16
Alias: The Messanger
Occupation: Studant
Residence: Dorm of Craft

Ability: Abram can control sounds and the vibrations they are made of. He can make the area around him completely devoud of sound or turn the volume up on something almost completely silent. He can also change the impression someone receives from music. He can turn racket into a love balad or turn some pop song into a cruelty fest. His ability raises his natural talent at music, but tends to break away from him when he uses it against someone. It tends to drain his strength quickly leaving him very unsteady.

Personality: Abram is a major troublemaker. He loves playing tricks on people especially pranks on the Dorm of Mind kids. He is quite clever in his own way, but doesn’t try that hard at school he mostly gets Cs and Bs. His love, his passion is music. He likes all kinds classical, metal, hard rock, oldies the list goes on and on. He believes that music can bring people together and has a hard time using it to actually hurt people. Because his family is famous for magician he feels slightly pressured to be a conductor for their private orchastra that travels the world. He generally has a carefree attitude towards life, but when people diss music because of preconceptions he gets pretty fired up. Abram’s favorite instroments to use with his magic are the flute and drumsticks. Because of his carefree attitude most people like him, only some of the nerds and jock types don't.

History: His parents fell in love when they heard each other play and have been unseprable since. They had seven children, Abram was their fith child. He can’t keep his hands off insturaments, not since he made a toy flute when he was five. All his siblings are musicians and travel around the world. They are some of the best in the world. Not all of them though have magic including his younger twin sisters who are said to be the next greatest violinists. Abram loves his little sisters and spends all his vacations practicing with them, teaching them all the tricks of the trade and protecting them.

Abram is in a band called Magelet, as the lead singer and guitarist. He is first chair for flute in the school’s orchistra. He insitist upon helping Dionisia, to her dismay, because he cares about the school. He understands that it gives a real warm home to some and that it teaches students many important lessons for life. He often is found sitting atop the walls of the school playing his instruments and when not there he is assisting Dionisia with her work as Council Member. He relays messages throughout the school and is also rumored to be a major source of information for the council.

Appearance: http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n17/KibasStalker/boy1.jpg
Alliance: Council
Equipment: He has a small retracable flute/recorder and he usually has his guitar with him at all times.
Weakness: Using his magic to fight tires him out, draining him of his energies. He is also quiet despite his magic, most times not speaking up when necessary. Abram sometimes gets carried away with his jokes and ends up hurting (emotionally) people even though it was not his intent.
Dreams: He wishes to spread the joy of music and show people the misconeptions about certain types of music. He wants everybody around the world to know about magic, but he also knows that some people would be jealous and accuse others of cheating.

I was also wondering if I could steal your sheet and put it in one of my posts so as soon as I approve someone I can edit it... You did the hard work so I'm asking your permition.

[Kyuubi Naruto]

Ok, now I understand why you asked me how long it took for my RPG to be approved. Well, looks like I've got another one to join, dont I? By the way, your still gonna be able to Co-GM my RPG, right?

Name: Kai Namakura

Age: 18

Alias: Shred

Occupation: Council Member(Hopefully. lol)

Residence: Dorm of Strength

Ability: Due to his family lineage, he was given a certain amount of powers from the moment he was born. These abilities include his power of flight, extreme out-of-the-ordinary strength, and his power over pressure. By combining pressure with his strength, he's able to create raw energy from his power that he's able to use in anyway he can think. In a battle, he's given a large variety of choices due to what he's able to do with his insane strength.

Personality: Matching his elements, Kai is quite unstable himself. His attitude always seems to be the same, in tune with current happenings, slightly hot-temepred, and understanding. Although, he is quite bright for someone like him, being able to quickly think on his feet whenever in a fix. Although, the thing that's special about him is the drive, the motive, that he has when faced with a challenge, or asked to help others with challenges that they need to overcome.

History: Failure, disgrace, dissappointment. These were 3 words that Kai, when he lived with his family, seemed to hear a lot. He hated the words.

Born in a family of hard-working, overachieving, and trustworthy people, Kai had much to live up to. He all but succeeded in this goal set for him before his birth. A somewhat free spirit, Kai decided that he wanted to follow his own path instead of the one that the rest of his family. Known as a completely 'disgrace' to his family, Kai lived a hard life at home.

It wasn't before long that his family decided to send him to The Academy for Mages. Fate had it in for him, obviously, as once when he arrived there, he became the child that his parents would grow to be proud of. Entering the Dorm of Strength, soon rising to the rank of a Council Member, he worked just as hard as his parents would want from him. Although, his fate was still in his own hands, and that's the way he planned on keeping it.

Appearance: http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l153/Photoboy_013/rpgman.jpg

Alliance: Council

Equipment: Wing Sash -Tied to his waste, this is a belt with what looks like a wing on a bird. Passed down to all of the men of his family, he holds this item with pride.

RPG Example: Yo Kiba, wonder where I got this from......:

It was a war. Hundreds upon thousands of Greek warriors battle each other, blood spewing everywhere. Corspes laid across the war zone, the bodies being moved around as if simple trash on the battlefield. The stench of blood filled the air, fresh. This battle had been going on for the past 2 days, the only rest anybody recieved was an eternal one.

Hours and hours wore on, and soon, there were only a few warriors remaining on each side. The land below them had been almost completely destroyed, craters littering it all over. The final few of warriors charged toward each other, 4 on each side. These 8 people were known as kings, the most powerful of Greek warriors.

They all clashed their blades together, sending a sparkle of energy out in all directions. Rays of light spread outward, completely blinding view of what had actually happened.

The light slolwy faded, and the 8 Kings all stood in a circle, a radiant white light shining down upon all of them. As if they had been frozen still, they didnt take another step, all just looking up at the blinding beauty. A winged being was seen descending from the light, slowly making its way too the center of the Kings' circle.

That winged being simply spread its arms outward, and sent out a large wave of white light. That wave spread across the entire land, completely overtaking every inch of it. As the white light faded, the wretched, bloody battlefield had been changed into a beautiful, lush grassland, flowers blooming all over.

The battle had finally ended. The 8 Kings all fell to the ground, their bodies completely giving in on them. They layed in the grass, a smile crossing each of their faces as unity between the most powerful warriors of the land had been reached, and the struggle between them had ended. What was unknown to them, is that something similar to that they just witnessed would take place hundreds of years later. Although, it would be a much far greater struggle......a legendary war that would go down in history.

Ugh, so late at night, didn't feel like typing up something so I just go tthis. Hope this is alright, and hope you remember what this is from. *wink*

Weakness: Sometimes strives too hard to succeed, which can blind his judgement.

Dreams: Although part of his strive is to become strong and make his own parents proud, he also strives to bring out the best in all others, working together with them to prevent them to becoming the failure that he is, through his parents' eyes.
Well, there ya go. If I'm missin' anything, just let me know.

[KibasStalker]

Kyuubi Naruto: Unapproved.... lighting and fire would go in the nature dorm and that is closed. I'm not excepting anymore residence of that dorm, at least not untill the other dorms are more even and I have 5 stinking council members. I'm going to read the rest, but the dorm of strength ablities are abilities that involve the body like Mr. Fantastic or Superman(mostly) would be in that dorm. People like the Human torch or Poisen Ivy would go in the Nature dorm etc..

Yes I still intend to be your Co-GM (haha I almost said co-captin as in FullMetals post) and I do reckinize your roleplay example. I know how you feel about that, I'm kinda dreading writing the opening for this roleplay. I know basically what I'm gonna say, but I want it to be elegant and informational at the same time. Plus I'm not very fond of having to introduce the teachers and three other character, but such is my choice so I shall do it...T.T

[Kyuubi Naruto]

*edits*

Alright, is that good? Since you didn't say anything about the pressure, I took it as if it was good to stay.;)

[KibasStalker]

Kyuubi Naruto: Approved, Council Member and all. I think that you should have Shobu_Shimizu character as your assistant/Coish council member... I don't know you two can work that out yourselves. If you want to be Co-Council Members I wouldn't mind :p :) :D.

*Waves at Luzifer* I see you :)

[Kyuubi Naruto]

Yep, looks like we'll have to talk that out later. Anyway, thanks for the approval, let's wish good luck to both of our RPGs!:D

And yeah, the opening post is always the most annoying part of an RPG, well, to me, of course.

Oh yeah by the way I decided the CM's by how they would be in the roleplay and how they seem to feel to me. So basically I'm using my gut on it. (Also talent wise and actual roleplay skills, but mostly gut.) If you where wondering since it wasn't first come first serve...

[Luzifer]

I'll have your mind CM shortly

I have a random question... If I use telekinesis to stop the particles in the air thus causing the air to freeze (since heat is average molecular motion of a sample) would that count as nature? and if I used telekinesis to slow down time by speeding up via theory of relativity would that count as yin - yang? Theoretically... the vast majority of abilities can be reduced to a form of telekinesis if you think about it...

yeah... that was just random

[Luzifer]

Name: Adam Sandalphon
Age: 17
Alias: Geppeto
Occupation: council member
Residence: mind
Ability: Unknown. For the most part Adam’s abilities are unknown however there are somethings that are known.
Avatars: He can use stuffed animals as avatars and can see through their eyes. It is believed he uses telekinesis to manipulate them and uses some sort of seer-esque technique to force his perception out of his body. Also, it is believed he has a heightened level of consciousness because he can manipulate several of these avatars simultaneously without seeming to be straining himself. But since no one has actually met Adam this is all just specualation.
“Seer”: he seems to be able to predict the future. Neither he nor any of his avatars have ever made any claims to this fact but his ability to react to things before they occur seem to indicate this ability.

Personality: Unknown. Is most likely incredibly intelligent. His puppets rarely respond to questions and tend to give short clipped answers but it is uncertain whether these tendencies translate to the individual behind them.
History: Little is known about Adam himself. He came from a “normal” magical family. He developed telekinesis and “seer-like abilities” from a young age. Books held a special fascination for him and at the age of 6 developed the ability to leave a stuffed animal to read his books in his place through some manipulation of his abilities so that he could eat dinner while not sacrificing his reading. How, he does this is unknown as he has never explained.
As years passed he began to use the puppets and stuffed animals more and more as a means of interacting with the world while he isolated himself further and further into his room. His skills increased at an amazing rate and he was considered a prodigy of telekinetic abilities. But, he continued to remain cloistered, shunning praise and human contact for the peace and silence of solitude.
He arrived at school in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep and the only sign that he arrived was that the next day the door to his room had been padlocked and nine of his puppets were wandering the halls. He is a dervish in school, he uses his puppets and will often take (and pass) seven class that share simultaneous timeslots, somehow able to interpret and synthesis seven streams of data simultaneously (not including the two dolls that are just walking around). These include magical classes and since his avatars able to use magic power equivalent to the average person it attests to the raw power he himself must possess.
His dolls have made the school a slightly more disturbing place as they silently walk from place to place, never speaking and only occasionally writing on sheets of paper to communicate. No one has ever met Adam himself and he appears to keep himself locked in his room, getting food through the mail slot that his puppets take him.
He joined the council this year and works tireless to its ends, acting as planner. He
Appearance: Unknown
Alliance: Council
Equipment:9 puppets (a rabbit, a two bears, two clowns, three marionettes, one skeleton)
Weakness: Mostly Unknown but it can be assumed that since he only acts through his avatars his powers are somewhat lessened. While a skilled telekinetic and “seer” he hasn’t shown anyway of actually hurting someone. However, most of this is, as always supposition.
RPG Example: The bear leaned back in the chair as most lanky stuffed animals of its type would when left to its own devices. Its glossy black eyes reflected the light gently and the head was cocked slightly to the sighed as if wondering something. It sat there in the desk like all the students and indeed it was a student. The students had gotten used to their unusual student and didn’t pay it any mind, they were much to worried about passing AP Physics C: Electromagnetism to care about the stuffed bear in their midst at any rate.
The bell rang as it always did and the teacher set down her chalk and started making some last minute comments about what to homework was before too many of the students escaped. The bear got up as well. It stood at its full height on the chair and with surprising grace managed to grasp a pad of paper and pencil in its unwieldy hands. “Make sure you do your labs for tomorrow as well as the problem set I gave you. Test next Wednesday.”
The bear hopped down from the chair and after waiting for the main rush of people to leave the room (or else the poor bear would get badly trampled) it followed along behind. It walked along the halls, dodging the looming forms of teenagers as it made its way to room 215 for AP Geography.
Adam wondered at many things during his life. Why Geography warrented an AP variant had always been one of the bigger puzzles on his mind. But he pushed the thought out of mind as he refocused on the test his Jester was taking and some minor telekinetic cantrip that his black rabbit was casting.
The skeleton was sitting in the library at the time and was standing on a book which was its equal in height and was staring at the text. It the skeleton was used almost entirely for reading in the library and was normally just shut off and left in the corner of the library when Adam no longer needed it rather then going to the effort of walking it back. Sometimes, when the extra man power was required he would move it but that was seldom.
Dreams: Unknown

[Inc0gnit0]

actually for slowing down time I would see telekenisis in slowing down the brain process of people around you. By basically slowing down everyones response to stimuli everyone basically slows down which seems to make you appear as if you're going much faster. As for stopping particles that gives another definition to absolute zero now doesn't it lol...When you think about it telekenisis is mind over matter. Technically most if not all abilities interact with matter so therefore yes a perfect mastery of telekenisis should give you access to pretty much everything.

Also I don't really care who takes care of the list to be honest lol. As long as its updated and there I'm happy. Considering you are the GM you should take care of it. ANother thing, I absolutely love your most recent character Luzifer. I can see it being incredibly fun to play and an important asset to the RP good job and my char will love trying to crack your mystery :) . Last, I don't know how many people here have been in RPs with more then 12 people before. Currently unless my tired mind is playign tricks on me we have 17 people if luzifer's new char is accepted (and I hope it is).

That IS A LOT of characters going around at the same time. Considering the ammount of people involved in this RP I would suggest to maybe cut on some multiple characters. Its a personal opinion because I have a feeling the board will move so fast and will have so many different sub plots that we will get lost. Just think about it, if everyone posts just 1 post per day that's still like half a page gone every day and usually people don't post just once a day. That's a lot of reading and a lot of possibilities for confusion. But once again not my call...just an opinion.

[KibasStalker]

Thats very deep Incognito and I appreaciate you answering Luzifers question because I'm uhh well I have a hard time understanding it...What can you do I'm only a sophmore in highschool and you and Luzifer are college(well luzifer at least) Meh. Okay well Just to let everyone know I think I'm actually gone try to have a little bit of a life this weekend, Yay! I places to go, people to see, and gift cards to spend. So I probably won't be getting on most of the day. Unless of course I end up at an apple store in the mall...then I'll probably end up getting sucked into the computers (*wants laptop*)and lookup the sign-up sheet.

By the way I kinda dig the fact there are alot of people here. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Yeah so okay I was thinking what we could do is have people post all their characters in one post so as not to over run the pages. We can have them change colors per character. I think this will help a little though I understand not much. Okay so yeah I will go read Luzy's post and then I'm off!

EDIT: Luzifer: Approved, I would like to remind you as I did Joker that to be a council member you have to be somewhat popular as you are the voice of the dorm, but in your case I have my own notions on the dorm the mind people and your character will do fine as they(mind kids) tend to pick the smartest one for the job, not that they actually pic or anything. OKay I'm rambling, well thats that and I'm gone!

[Luzifer]

Voice? More like "scrawled on piece of note paper" of the dorm but yeah I get what you mean

[Tetsanosuke]

Luz-Man. That character was... Utterly Awesome. O___O I am diggin' that idea so much, I've never seen it done before. I know Dionisia will be having fun with taking to her fellow CM through them. And she even has paper for them to write with! x3

Though I understand the clogged-ness of all the characters, I think the RP should have a daily post limit. 1 or 2, especially because I'm sensing these responses will be well thought out, long and enjoyable. But too much of a good thing can be bad.

And yes, separate colors are a must I'd say. I'm getting giddy thinking about the quality of this RP's posts. I'm sure people will realize that 5 lines isn't near enough to get your point across. At least without waiting a day or so. ( Maybe. )

[Death God]

Name: Leslie Hardesty
Gender: Male
Age: Fifteen
Alias: None at the moment.
Occupation: Student
Residence: Mind
Ability: Telepathy. He can read people's minds like open books.
Nationality: Caucasian. Welsh, Polish, and British mix to make an American mutt. His family was one that had forgotten the magic their clan held.

Personality: Taciturn to the core. He keeps himself detached from the world. He usually doesn't find the need to speak, so whenever he communicates verbally it comes out in a mumbled and slurred little lift of his upper lip. As soon as his eyes meet a person's face, their mind is open to him. He can read into them, pulling up unwanted memories, finding secrets and things meant to be kept to only a slight few. He's rather rude when he does so. If he wants to find out something, no one would be able to stop him, at least in his mindset.

History: Born in the city of Indianapolis, Indiana, all he had seen in his travels was corn and more corn. A boring little kid in a not-so-boring place, Leslie started to notice a difference between himself and the other children. They often whispered amongst themselves, but that did little to keep his mind away. He could hear everything they were saying just by keeping track of surface thoughts. Whenever he tried to join in the conversation by adding some information they wouldn't have access to, they always gave him scared looks and ran the other way.

Thus, he grew up without any friends where they were needed most. Because, well, he didn't understand why his peers kept fleeing from him. And he wouldn't for years. He just figured that he was different, and it was his place in society to be alone. Soon he was feigning illness to stay home from school. Soon he was locking himself up in his room all day and not letting anyone inside.

But as he thought of his father's face, those thoughts crept up into his mind. His father was worried about him, and that part got his spirits to rise a bit. However, at the mention of therapy, Leslie grew frightened. He knew what therapy was. People with problems went there. And he didn't have any problems. Or, at least, that's what he told himself.

By age ten he was dragged off to therapy. The woman who was his therapist, Kiersten Fox, had a friendly demeanor and a wonderfully kept mask placed on her facial features. Leslie could tell every word that seeped from out of her lips was a lie. She thought he completely lost sight of sanity by the time she pried anything of importance from him. And although she wanted him locked up in an asylum more than anything, she remained his therapist for a good four years, giving him medication after medication to take. It ended up that he threw them all away.

During the four year span, he had plenty of time to research anything that he could find about... well, his "ability". He was reluctant to call it such because he wasn't really sure what it was. It was just something he could do that others couldn't.

He found The Academy for Mages through a web search the first year of his therapy. Well, after much failure in searching just for the cause of his ability, as all he got was lessons on "how to open the mind" and other stuff like that.

Asia was quite the distance from America. He would need to save up money, and that's just what he did. His allowance was saved up for three and a half years, and soon he had enough for a plane ticket to Hong Kong, and plenty left over for anything else he would need on his travels. He swapped currency about the same time that he bought his ticket. However, he had to wait a bit to find a date where his family would be out. Or perhaps, he would just use therapy as an excuse. The latter seemed more reasonable. As his mother dropped him off in front of the usual building, he simply headed towards the airport.

Unfortunately, that meant that he couldn't bring too much with him. He had a little bag he stuffed his extra money, a few changes of clothes, a pen and his "journal" in. However, this "journal" wasn't really much of a journal at all, just notes he'd gathered throughout the years about how far he could take his ability and that of the like.

Once in Hong Kong, his worries were set to rest. He wouldn't get caught, at least not for a very long time with how far he had traveled.

So he set off, towards this school he felt had the answers. It took a while, about half of year, but soon enough he stumbled upon it in an exhausted heap.

Appearance: Straight, blond locks cover most of his bespeckled face. Brilliant azure optics shine out from beneath those strands, much to his chagrin. He has a clammy complexion with an almost nonexistent tan from his travels. The articles of clothing he wears tend to be old hand-me-downs, and not at all up to date with today's fashion. A pen is almost always held in between his lips, and his "journal" is almost always held in his right set of digits.

Alliance: A runaway, not very much alliance there.
Equipment: His pen and his "journal".
The pen is a simple ballpoint pen, nothing too strange or unusual about it, while his "journal" is a simple notebook. It is college ruled, and has a black cover.
Weakness: Overload of thoughts, and anything that makes him feel intense emotion.

RPG Example:

He stood for a moment, letting his parental unit drive away. Day two of that underworld. A sigh escaped his lips, and onward he marched. That woman was standing there, a feigned smile greeting him. His comfortable frown didn't seem to make any movement to change, and so she gestured and moved off. "This way, Leslie."

He could hear her mental snickers at his name. He would think that she was a little more mature than that, but of course, assuming is not what one wants to do. His right foot was shuffled to follow her, along with his left. Soon he was brought into a room. A simple room, one with an unmistakable professional atmosphere. There was a desk with a computer monitor, and he dully noted how there was no clutter around it. A few chairs were seated in front of that desk, much like one would expect from a counselor.

She gestured for him to sit. He complied.

"Now, Leslie," She paused, and he heard her wondering how to get him to talk. He did last visit, why did he have to do so two meetings in a row? "How have you been this week?"

His shoulders scrunched in a shrug. Her disappointment was almost tangible. He couldn't help but feel just a bit satisfied by that.

Dreams: He doesn't have dreams, he has goals. At the moment, they're just to figure out why he has these powers and such of the like. He wants to know.


((OOC Note: Sorry if you didn't want me adding stuff. I just thought it would work better, because Leslie's a feminine name and I felt like adding the nationality. If you want either of those gone, I'll just edit and leave 'em out.))

[KibasStalker]

No its fine I acctually prefer it. Most people put their origins in the history, but it does make it easier for me to read the way you've put it.

EDIT1: I have a few questions before I approve your character. How long has your character been at the school and what grade is he in.

[Death God]

I put in his history that he would be fifteen when he reached the school, so he's been there less than a year.

I'm a bit confused about how this school operates, actually. If he was in a normal school, he'd been in grade ten. However, does this academy have a different scale? Does this scale depend on how long the student's been in this school? And if so, does age matter in this scale at all?

[KibasStalker]

Its like a normal highschool 14-18, but younger kids can come to help them control their abilities especially if they are abstact.

OKAY EVERYONE PLEASE NOTE:

The roleplay will be starting apporximetly two weeks after the second quarter starts. Please take this into account.

[Chuck the Ninja]

OKAY EVERYONE PLEASE NOTE:

[Inc0gnit0]

I don't think there's any doubt concerning the fact that I'm a science kind of guy so ichigo I just wanted to point out just how extensive that power would be science-wise (the changign matter one). You gave it a science logic so I'll assume you intend to have it abide by the laws of science (to a few magical exceptions). Personally unless you have some kind of intense science background I suggest you stay away from changing matter the way you explained it. The science behind something like that will blow your mind. Also sakura just look at the other sign-ups. Use paragraphs and put a lot more info. Personally I'm not in charge of this RP but it's just a tip for you to do well on this site.

[Chuck the Ninja]

Don't worry i plan on being smart with this character. Don't worry it something new from my normal element crazy power houses. I't just something new that i'm trying out.

[Shobu_Shimizu]

EDIT: I did not read the new previous posts until after I made my character. Honestly. So Kiba, I'm sorry if you feel like I stole your character's abilities in a way. I will edit Sorina of you have any objections. Just tell me.

Name: Sorina Dana Ozera
Age: 10
Alias: Baby Prodigy
Occupation: student
Residence: Dorm of craft
Ability: The insturments Sorina play are her weapon. She can make the sound waves of an instrument penetrate, soothe, shatter, explode, or even cause insanity to anything. Her choice of instuments are a metal flute, a violin, a harp, and a piano. The strength of her attacks depend of how fast or slow and soft or hard she plays. She can heal flesh wounds as well but only with her flute and she's not very skilled in that area.
Personality: Sorina is a serene child that always has a sweet smile to share with others. She is clever for a child of her age. She has weak self-esteem and cries very easily but she can always be cheered up by some form of melody. Despite the fact that she has a low self-esteem she is brave and will go to infinite lengths to please or protect the ones she loves.
History: Sorina was born in Romania and is the youngest child of five. The first time she picked up an intrument and was taught to play was around the age of four. Her parents cherished and loved her dearly. She rarely saw her parents since they were always going form city to city to play for different nations after she turned seven but she had her oldest brother, Vali, taking care of her. Her other brothers and sisters were jealous of her pure and natural talent at playing and they were always criticizing her, hence the reason why she has low self-esteem. Even so, she is encouraged by all of them to practice everyday and whenever she can.

The discovery of her powers happened when she was about eight years old when she was playing a a soft tune on the piano in the ballroom. Every servant and sibling that walked in passed out right at the door as they were walking in. Vali had almost fell asleep as well, hearing the piano from afar but had the chance to cover his ears. He walked in and told his sister to stop playing. That night they had a house meeting and everyone came to agree that Sorina was to play her intruments in her room with her doors closed.

The second occurance that lead Vali to make the decision to send Sorina to the academy happened when Sorina was playing her violin in her room. The tempo was allegro and the dynamics were fortississimo. The song she played sounded as if it were written for an opera tragedy. Her sister, Anca, had just happened to be passing by with a servant and the both of them were soon screaming at the top of their lungs and holding their heads in agony. They were sent to to the hospital. Vali had told Sorina it was not her fault and sent her to the academy after a week.

Currently, Sorina is in the fifth grade. She has learned to control this power of hers to an extent but she still has much to learn. Music takes up most of her schedual, as it did when she was at home. She has come to age where she can write her own songs and it bodes very well with her.
Alliance: Family
Equipment: She is always seen carrying a violin case that contains her violin, bow, and flute.
Weakness: She has very low self-esteem, cries easily, and naive.
RPG Example: Addie had hopped back on her skateboard, taking a different route to school, a longer one. She needed time to make a speech to tell Mrs. Cambell because she knew that the woman wouldn't believe her if she told the truth. Lost in thought she crashed into someone. Her skateboard flew out from under her and she almost fell backwards until she felt the person grab her collar. She looked up at a face covered in bandages with a red eye showing through. She stared at it for a second before the man hurried off, muttering something to himself. Addie stood, dumbfounded for a second before realizing that that man, no matter how strange he looked, just saved her from smacking her head into the pavement. "Thank you!!!" she called after him, hoping her heard before running to her skateboard and racing off to school with excitement. She wasn't crazy. He was one of them, she was sure of it. As much as she wanted to tell Matt and Corbin, she didn't think that it would be the wisest choice.

By the time Addie reached her the school and put her skateboard in her locker, she had only one minute late to get to class without being late and her advanced trig teacher wasn't very chipper in the morning. Running down the yellow hall where teachers had already retreated to their classrooms, Addie turned sharply into the blue hall and knocked almost calmly on the door to the classroom, taking her hat off and smoothing her hair in the process. The door opened and Mr. Gregor looked down at her with a frown. The bell rang. "What's your excuse for being late today Adalina?" he asked in a drawl.

"Well, if I could have had time to put my foot in the classroom then I wouldn't have been," Addie said with a cheesy smile. Mr. Gregor rolled his eyes and let her in.

"Don't let it happen again Addie or you will be sitting in detention for an entire week with Coach Graves," he said returning to his desk to get the test sheets to pass out.

Addie almost involuntarily twitched, she hated Coach Graves. He treats kids as if they were his football team when they lose an important game. "Yes sir," she said reluctantly as she sat down next to the new kid, though he wasn't very new anymore. She suddenly realized she didn't have a pencil. Patting her many pockets of her green cargo pants she desperately searched for one, cursing under her breath when she did not find one. Addie put her head down and softly banged it continuously. No backpack. No project. No pencil. She was going to blame all of this on Reanna if anyone gave her the chance. It wasn't as if she'd be lying anyway. She didn't want to ask anyone for a pencil while Mr. Gregor was passing the test down their row so she remained silent until the teacher passed. It was going to be a long day. Look on the bright side Addie, only nine days until Halloween... not including today... she thought to herself.
Dreams: She dreams to play in an opera house with her entire family without harming anyone.

[KibasStalker]

Meh it is fine. I'm not done, but I don't think it will be okay. I won't say the clishe just because I'm tired of old clishes. Okay so I'm going read your post and the new ones before yours and then approve or unapprove of your character. I really don't mind about the powers though.

EDIT1: Just to let everyone know it makes it alot harder on me when you retract and make new characters because It screws up my counting for people in each dorm. So if you take two people out of a dorm then those dorms are now mising some.

Hollow: First new character: Unnapproved. Manipulation of matter is a Ying-Yang thing. People in the craft dorm can manipulate certain types of materials like wood, glass, cloth, metal, etc... Second thing, you cannot say that you were asked to be part of the council. The people on the council are not just there for their high ability level they are there because they can be for the people. They won't take control and give themselves all the power of a dictatorship or tolitarian state. They are chosen for their personality so they tend to not crave power only except responsibility when it is laid upon them.

Second new character: Basicly approved, though I didn't realize thats who you were talking about getting asked to be council member. Also you have to take off flying as one of your powers, thats to many for one person. If you are a Mind student the most alltemit achievement is to fly and only a few in history at all could do it. I think I shall let you keep that for John. See thats what I'm talking about Hollow, thats the kind of thing I want to see the passion for justice. If you had posted that before Luzifer you might have been CM.

Hollow also I really need to see your Rpg example its not fair that I'm accepting your characters without one. I understand your on a cellphone, but still I have to be fair.

sakura rukia: Unapproved. You obviously haven't looked at other people's character sheets. Please look at Tetsanosuke's first character or Luzifer's third. Those are perfect in what I want in your character sheets. Also water and wind abilities are in the Nature dorm and its closed so you can't have those abilities. Sorry.

Incognito: I will start the roleplay within the next two days (hopefully). I'm actually waiting for Mia-MOS to post a character, but I might just have to move on.

Okay um.. Luzifer would you do me a favor and do a little post about how the highschool year goes. The school is based on american highschools. (Because I'm lazy :).) If you don't want to do it then just say so and I will fumble through an explenation for those who are in different school systems. (It is based on a 4 quarter 2 semester system.)

EDIT2: Shobu: Approved. Though you say that if anyone wants to listen to here they must wear ear muffs??? How is that possible.

[Shobu_Shimizu]

Ear muffs don't completely block out sounds, as I see it. >_> I'll change it if you want me to.

On second thought, I think I will change it.

One more thing, I saw that you were telling K. Naruto to talk to me about being a co-CM. What's a co-council member? Like how do they contribute to the council?

[Luzifer]

From Wikipedia:
In the United States, the academic year for most K–12 institutions typically consists of two 18-week semesters, each divided into two nine-week marking periods (or quarters), and typically constituting 180 instructional days. An instructional week is five instructional days, measured Monday–Friday at most public and private schools; Sunday–Thursday at some Jewish private schools; Saturday–Wednesday or Sunday–Thursday at Muslim private schools; and so on. Grades are usually reported per marking period, but major examinations are given per semester or per year.

The traditional start date for the school year has been the day after Labor Day (the first Tuesday after the first Monday in September), but many schools now start in the last two weeks of August and some schools (especially private ones) may start as late as the end of September or the first week in October. There are also some schools that begin at the end of July. The school year ends 36 instructional weeks after it begins. Also, some schools are now moving to the first Wednesday in September (usually two days after Labor Day, unless it falls on September 1 or 2) to allow a short week as people adjust to being in school again.

also, it should be noted that the classes themselves are mostly year long (i.e. taking all 36 weeks) however, there are some (mostly unrequired) courses that take up only a semester or a quarter. Typically these are classes like a requisite computer usage class, an art class, or gym depending on the school system (for myself my school didn't have gym but I've personally been in middle schools that did and I'm translating similar tendencies to high school, and from testimony of...lets call them friends for the sake of argument who say that they have gym). However, these shorter classes can also be specialized classes in an academic subject, this is especially true of "college preparatory" schools (such as the one I was in) these classes can range from "Bias in the Media" (Steward school educational year 2006-2007 second semester) to Introduction to Philosophy (Steward School educational year 2006-2007 fourth quarter).

I doubt this will be necessary but some schools also include an independent "trimester" system which operates in conjunction with the semester system. Certain class last a "trimester" which is typically the first quarter and part of the second, part of the second and all of the third, and the entire fourth (since, depending on spacing, the fourth quarter is noticeably longer than the others).

Hope that was all that was needed.

[Inc0gnit0]

I'm from Quebec...our school system is so screwed up it will blow your mind! And constantly changing lol! :P Also I suggest Kiba to repost the list of characters updated and on this page. Just so its always on the most recent page.

[Chuck the Ninja]

Editted both my characters

Rpg example:

"So tell me about my mother? Who was she? What color was her hair, her skin, her eyes? Tell me everything."

John sat with his grandmother talking about his mother. She had tears in her eyes but seemed to know something he didn't. It was natural that she knew nothing. That was a long time ago. No one knew who she was. She was nothing but a ghost in the night. Someone that had faded away into the still, cold darkness of society.

He stood from their small compact pull away table and held back tears.Their was a reason that he was taken away from his mother. His father was also someone vthat he didn't know but that was something of another life for him. He longed for a mother's sweet passionate kiss on his cheeks. How sweet and tender the must be. So fleded with love and care for her lost son. How she must be dying from not seeing her sweet child. Taken away from her so close to birth. It would tear any mother's heart into small frigid pieces.

John left the room with haste and returned to his room. The run was setting in Beautiful Berlin. Oh how he wanted to return to France and return to the family he knows nothing about. Only fire. Fire and screams. Was it his destiny to be alone and never find out what a true life was like? Or was it only that he was one of the few that would never know anything about his family?

Just then John heard a knock at the door. A voice was then heard be it was familiar. It stated that it was here for her baby.......John. With haste John jumped down the stair and swung around the corner. His mind racing at a mile a minute. "Mother...... Mother......please tell me it's you." John turned the corner and looked at the one claiming to be his mother. His words escaped his throat as he looked at the women. "Mother..............???????"

[Chuck the Ninja]

So how did you like my sample.

[KibasStalker]

It was good enough to be excepted. It wasn't fantasitcly amazing, but it was okay. You got your main point out and did it in multiple paragraphs. If you really want me to full out critique your example I will. (Actually that would be really fun...-.-)

[Chuck the Ninja]

*Dies by computer from lack of sleep*

[Chuck the Ninja]

Ok now how is everyone following my version of the school. Cause i don't think i said anything about the school or how is is built.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Name: William Emmott

Age: 16

Alias: Red leopard

Occupation: student

Residence: strength dorm, since its the only one thats open...

Ability: Will has the ability to increase his speed and reactions effectively causing him to see around him in slow motion. This allows him to be extremely fast yet his body and mind can still keep up with him.

Personality: he is extremely loud and loves life, on many occasions he will upset people or lessons just for the fun of it. He is the sort of person who could easily sit there watching the clouds go by without a care. He does have a deeper side, however you would need couple of JCB’s to dig it up. He just loves to look at life in the funniest and easiest way possible.

History: Will was born to young woman who had turned up to the hospital in labour. After she gave birth she died, only living long enough to state his name, William Emmott. The name wasn’t common and no family was found. He grew up in the care of an extremely wealthy family in London, who he only found out later, were one of the most magical families in England. The Broomes family trained him for 13 years before he was sent to the School of mages. He always acted up and still isn't on good terms with many of the teachers, he is now in his 3rd year and has a few enemies and friends due to his loud nature.
Appearance: like the main character from ‘king of hell’ but his features are all toned down a little bit. Still handsome with a giant shock of red hair tough :D

Alliance: the council.
Equipment: he is trained in many martial arts and doesn’t use weapons.

Weakness: he is too loud sometimes, and a pretty girl can easily sway his judgement. also when he increases his speed his physical strength greatly drops and he can't really hold that state for very long at a time

RPG Example: Will flicked another pea into the old womans perm. The kid sat in the seat across from him burst into another fit of childish giggles. Will looked at the womans bleached hair and grinned, twelve small peices of veg and not a single one had been noticed. He stretched his legs under the seat and turned to the kid,
"So what's your name kid?" Will asked the smiling child.
"Henry!" he shouted, "What you doing on the plane?" he asked looking at Will intently.
Will smiled, "I'm going to see my Uncle before i have to go to school again. How come such a little boy like you is flying at this time of night?"
Henry looked past his sleeping father next to him out of the dark window,
"My daddy's getting a big medal!" he shouted gesturing around with a wide circular motion.
Will nodded while pretending to be amazed before he noticed a wrinkled hand start to move up the womans head.
"I'll be back in a minute." he said to Henry before quickly unbuckling his belt and moving towards the toilets. Just as he stepped inside the small cabin he looked back as the woman moved her hand back infront of her face holding a peice of carrot. Will looked at Henry and burst out laughing as he noticed the little kid pretending to be asleep, while failing miserably as he couldn't help but snigger and keep one eye open.
Will closed the door just as an air hostess arrived on scene, chuckling to himself...

Dreams: To just forget about his magic and run off to somewhere without any rules, he wants to find some people who understand him instead of the snobs at school...

ok its been edited, soz about my first shambolic attempt...

[KibasStalker]

Hey welcome, I'm glad your deciding to join my rpg!

kingdomhearts_tom: Unapproved, First I strongly object to your RPG example. This website is has young kids on it so that kind of thing is not what they are on here for. I don't think parents wouldn't apprecaite it either. It is a very well written post, but it is a bit inapprorate. Also when I say residence I mean if you are either in a country (goverment) or a dorm mainly dorm. Because of your abilities you would be in the Ying Yang dorm, but that is closed. So you must change your abilities. Even if it wasn't closed you can't have light and dark abilities, I made that clear earlier in the sign-up thread. If that dorm was open however because you specified that it was reflecting, absorbing, and translating(???) light, not pure light, I would have accepted that part. As a pointer I would have kept it a secret that you were a spy, and just told me, because now everyone is gonna be like "so-an-so realized by the awkard movements that something wasn't right about William etc.." Also the governments are just finding out about magic like within the last four or so weeks, probably less. They really haven't been pretending they haven't known about it they just really haven't known about it. So you previously couldn't have been a spy. Last the location of the Academy of Mages is a heavily guarded secret. The families would never have helped the government let alone even become frienly with it.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

[KibasStalker]

kingdomhearts_tom: Approved

From now on people really have to pitch their characters to me if they want to join. If you pitch a good character then I even if the dorm is "CLOSED" I will let you in. Please be warned I have raised my standards for certain dorms. Also I'm going to get my computer fixed today (yay!) so I might not be able to post depending on what happens. I hope that isn't so though.

FullMetalAlchemist997: Approved, Psrie Morgana.

Sorry didn't realize I was double posting. Oh well. I really wish we could delete whole posts...

[MaruDashi]

Is the RP dead already?!

[kingdomhearts_tom]

dont know maru, but i cant post until either ingognito or kibasstalker does, also does this seem to be happening to a lot of rpgs recently?

[Inc0gnit0]

and I really have to wait for kibas to post. Yeah, it is a trend recently, RPs tend to die real quick. However, there is a correlation. All the RPs that I joined that died had their GM abandon the RP. This one is not different. I know real life takes priority over RP however, if you can't even post once every 2 days when you decided to start an RP then maybe you should have htought twice about starting it. But what do you want...it's life. I doubt this RP will start up again and I'll probably be waiting for another RP to join but its a new trend because in the past even on this site RPs tended to last a lot longer. I'm probably going to open my own actually...

[KibasStalker]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I'm so so so so so so sorry about not posting I do intend to spend the rest of the night working on mine. Please don't quit !!!!! My grades were starting to falter and I haven't really been inspired lately, but I am posting today. PLEASE DON"T GIVE UP.

[Inc0gnit0]

I'll post lol cuz well I don't really ever have anything better to do don't worry. Others however, might not be like that. Also I wasn't joking i have sent another request for starting my own RP however, trust me I can juggle 2 RPs no problem. Also I wasn't blaming you for school work. Like I said real life always takes priority over RP life. I was just gettign slightly irritated at always creating characters that end up being scrapped tis all.

[KibasStalker]

POSTED. I will continue to post at regular intervals from now on. I love learning, dislike school.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

dont worry about it i remember my rpg wasn't the most successful but like incognito said they used to last longer. well i put in a request for another rp but i didn't really sell it well so im not optimistic it will be allowed, but i wont leave it (or this one :D)

[Chuck the Ninja]

Yeah your not the only one with problems. I haven't had a good Rpg sense Clash of the Multiverse. Maybe i and someone else being my partner. Should make a sequel. Clash of the Multiverse 2: Emperor of Games or something like that.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

yeah i enjoyed the first one, up until i left that is. And hollow if you ever need a partner in crime i'm always up for a good rp :D

[Chuck the Ninja]

Well Pm of and we can brainstorm. Anyone else up for it then Pm me. I want to make a Rpg so good that it continues like World of (Forgot the name.).

[KibasStalker]

Yeah lets keep it on the subject of AoM. I want it to be a legendary roleplay that brings back more roleplayers.

[kingdomhearts_tom]

Name: Takeru Yamato

Age: (no actually known) presumed 26

Alias: Orchi no Yamato and sometimes called Lilith's consort

Occupation: Teacher and Priest at the academy

Residence: Japan and Portugal (Currently the academy)

Ability: Omyoji sorccery, High level demon summonings/Transformations,Snake Magic,Shinto Spells, Akido Martial arts and Kenjutsu.

Personality: Well, when i was younger i was much more kind and thoughtfull, but things have changed. Now my usual expression is a caresless and i have goofy face and making mistakes here and there, but deep down there is a secret evil that resides seeking lust and power. Im usually carefree and silly when teaching and helping students, but when it comes to protecting them i become very serious and more evil. I like building relationships with my students and helping them in their delemas. But usually when days such as full moons and days of the dead come round im more rough around the egdes, becaus my lust for more darkness beckons on my soul (in other words Demons call for me), But when the time comes for me to get angry at something, all hell breaks loose, I then aqquire a thirst for blood and my memories of everyone i care and love are completely absent, they become my prey.

History: To start things off I wasn't born in this age and time, I was born sometime in the Fuedal era of japan. My memories are completly lost on the events on what happended there, but i do remember that when i was 10, i somehow made to portugal and a very powerfull Magus sent me through a Demonic time gate. I then found myself in the same place, but in a totally different time!. It was then I made my way back to Japan and studied shintoism and how Onmyou is practiced. I also become a really great Kenjutsu (swords techniques) artist and learned the aspects of Akido martial arts. Form there I was sent to spain by a High shinto priest, it was there I attended the school of the Black mages, a place were there isn't any teachers but the students teach themselves, and i f they did not know a an answer they asked the rocks, and the next day the rocks gave the answer, and even food an drink. When we graduated the last mage to leave the classroom, gets there soul sold to Satan (the headmaster of the school) I was the last one out but only my shadow was taken form me. Afterwards i went back to portugal and lived there for a whille. And after living there i came acrous a proposal of teaching at the academy, and so i set out and finally made it here, were i teach at a small temple within the grounds.

RPG Example:

*Takeru looked at the pitiful black wicth, that laid on the ground impaled by Takeru's kusanagi blade.Takeru was ferious that this obomination tried to assinate one of his prized pupils. He still stood there with disgust in his eyes, looking at the wench.*

Witch: ''Please forgive.......I only......'''
Takeru: ''Silence! foul being go back from wence you came, and never return!''

*while takeru turned his back the witch leaped at takeru's back, takeru's new this would happen and quickly grapped the wicthes throat, Takeru become blood thirsty, but he tried no to think about it, takeru tapped the kusanagi (still impaled in the witch), making the blade glow making the wicth screame fo mercy.....*

Takeru: ''OM!''

*The wicth had been absorbed into the blade whithin a second, and was damned for eternity...........*

[Lady_Baneheart_Of_Blades]

Name: Nike everglade

Age: 20

Alias: Nike

Occupation: Teacher

Residence: Dorm of Mind , use to work for Brooklyn

Ability: Transformation, telepath, healing, shields and sommoning plants from a seed

Personality: Kind hearted, helpful, hyper active, gets emotional, serious sometimes.

History: She was born in South Africa with the name of Nike, the goddess of victory. Through her life she has studied about plants and how to control it and with that she learned to transform into any living thing only by touching it. Her parent had no abilities what so ever- like magic. She kept her magic a secret all her life and so did she keep it from her twin brother.

By the time her parent found a pentagram drawn in her room, with the words, death, life and tragety, they sent her away to a school for rehabilitation. She escaped the place and never returned home. Until she found the academy of mages, she studied hard and long. Ten years later she became a teacher.

Appearance: Brown haired, golden eyes. 1,69 m in height. Weighs 60kg. She has rosy cheeks and has a tattoo on her right arm of a three headed dragon. When she changes she will be described in the post. She will mostly change into plants to demonstrate it to other mages who wishes to be taught by her. She changes into plants because it's less dangerous when she could lose control.

http://i25.tinypic.com/33e7p8x.jpg

Alliance: family and friends, lets refrase that -- Friends and strangers.

Equipment: She has a snapping venus fly trap, a lap top, a white cross her father gave her and a small dagger dipped in holy water. Black-gloves on her hands.

Weakness: Weakness is heights, that is why she doesn't change into a bird she is more land based

RPG Example: Nike thought back when she was eight years old. Her parents sent her away, she knew why. They knew of the mages and magic, but never tried using it. Of all the whispers she heard in the hall while walking, she could have sworn she heard the voice of her father calling her name. She turned around and saw no one in the hall, it was empty. She never thought it couldn't be possible for her to actaully become a teacher, but she got what she wanted. If only her father knew that the pentagram she drew was just a pretty star with a circle around it and a few chinese words she learned, he wouldn't have sent her away. She rarely spoke to anyone, keeping her past to herself and if she did speak she always managed to smile even if she was upset. Most mages she knew was cold hearted, but here she met quite a few who had potentail in her class.
(I'll show you in my first post how my story writing really looks like, no its not bad, it's quite good ^^)

Dreams: Her dreams are to keep on teaching the mages as a tutor or a teacher. To change the way the academies rules works for the better and testing the courage of each student. She hopes they will like her for her abilities and not her looks.

Edit: oh yea she is also a priest's daughter. How strange that a priest would send his own daughter away, was he hiding something from her.
