I've been thinking of what to switch out black magic for in the RP for Xexiam. Thus far my head keeps going back to flying, but in theory that can be obtained with elemental magic for wind. The other part of me is thinking of a power that allows charming, or smooth talking, which can fit the character but to a minimum degree. It goes with the whole facade of friendliness he gives.
Just once pointed out the redundancy, I've wanted to change it--though the main reason I took black magic is it reminded me of the abilities the Necromancer from DIablo 2 gets and I was like "aw man I'm all about this". Character stuff is hard.
Super eager to get started!

FYI, sorry for the delay in starting. I've kept holding out for interested parties and other games launching. I'm probably about to wait to long. However that's requiring a bit of changing how things can start.
Also I suspect I need to make a map or something, the description of the place is probably hard to work with.
I have my first post all written out. I'm set to go!

Alright, lets do this thing. No art though. I don't suppose any of you have any talent for that you'd care to share?
The first post is fairly open regarding were you'd like to place yourself. As always I'm here if you feel stuck behind writers block. And as I want to encourage some worldbuilding in my players you have a fair bit of flexiblity in fleshing out the details of certain buildings and especially in creating NPCs to interact with.

Are there any suggestions on classes or things to do? I've read the first post but at a bit of a loss as to what sorts of things are being offered (aside from combat and magic-oriented stuff) and wondering if there may be anything specific that draws most or all of our characters together aside from the whole area of the central campus.
Maybe I'm better off waiting until tomorrow, seeing if anything gets posted and re-reading the sign-up thread and my character bio to discern what exact classes he'd be looking for. I just basically want something that puts me in a group with someone else. =P

I was hoping that the signs about forming "teams" or "study groups" would motivate people to get together to some degree.
As for other classes I figured your character would want to go into something Magitek, though you had a laundry list of stuff you wanted to pick up. I have no idea who will bite on things like Philosophy and debate, or world history and exploration. Or suggest something.
Or interact with one of the mentioned groups or goings on. Maybe get dared to get up on stage for the other players to see.

While I'm itching to interact with your characters myself, I've sent out PMs to the other players. It occurs to me that it's been rather a while since I started the sign in thread. Of course if they wait a while I'll start posting. It'll still be fine to add people whenever (as is common in AF games.) Just wanted you to know I was around and you hadn't been GM abandoned.
I have a feeling that someone's going to have to keep track of what classes people are taking. I'm a little confused having read the most recent messages, especially because I can't figure out what the time of day is supposed to be. ((For example, a few of us have posted just arriving to the campus suggesting morning or noon-time whereas a few others have posted having already taken classes. Unless they've taken classes set-up early in the morning which others have missed then ... it doesn't make sense?))
I think it's going to be necessary once people have posted and shown what sorts of classes they've expressed interest in. I'm not the GM though so I'm just typing this out as a suggestion to try and help gain some sort of order and to help get interaction going between our characters. What do you think?
(( I also don't know when it's safe for me to post again. haha. ))

I feel like there's not enough players for the range of classes that was put out there. I'd say since they were so makeshift some got cancelled and just condense to a max of 2-3 classes where a majority of us are attending otherwise this is gonna look like a one man show. Perhaps, we can hold a poll here in the ooc thread and see what most people want to take classes in.

As far as classes go, I was hoping players would be able to use this as a way to express their interests. You wouldn't be expected to RP out every single class your character takes. Instead the ones worth mentioning would be the ones that you share with other players. Classes aren't even the only reason to interact with other players, they might just be part of how you eventually spend reserve points.
However an OOC discussion where you discuss what you might like to do could make things work out very well.
Time is a trickier thing in general in RPs. Though skipping ahead a little if you want to interact can work. Or if needed often there is some logic to things (such as the class being an early morning one, finished before most students even reached central campus). I do sometimes have to prod to advance time though that will come up eventually.
EDIT: OH! one other thing. It works well if you let someone know you're interacting with them, especially if they aren't expecting it. Such as by putting their name or a mention at the top of a post. On that note, Lemon is trying to interact with you Yuuchun!

On that note I have a feeling Shi'ran will be taking interest in the classes Blackwaltz' character teaches, then.
If it matters to anyone these are probably the things class-wise he's going to be looking into;
* Exploration (already signed up)
* Combat (not sure whether the Bushido one or the Magitek one, might take both lol)
* The class dealing with relics and whatnot that Blackwaltz has been seen teaching (it might be an exploration class though in which case he'd end up there anyway?).
* Some magic-teaching class. I don't know who'd be teaching magic.
* Something that teaches dark magic, though he's reluctant to ask because he's pretty sure it's taboo. Might be something that happens later on when he gets to know people and not on the school curriculum, per-se.
* Probably some sort of gym/sports class, but that might be more a casual thing instead of an actual class.
Given the reasons he came to the school (to further his magic) and the fact he takes an interest in technology and random items/trinkets those are probably the sorts of classes he's going to be in.
Just typing that out in case it helps anyone. I don't want my character to be here posting just to be attending xD.

@Ranshiin what makes you think I'll let you in my class?!?!?!?!? So presumptuous. Haha no but excellent! I've got a bite! Yeah sorry about the time setting that my post is in, I wrote it out while I was waiting for this to begin and it may have thrust things into disarray. But given that most high schools let out at 2 I don't see how this could be too strange. In fact I'll just go in an edit my post saying it ended the school day for Sefton himself, not necessarily for the rest of the campus.
My class, or after-class tutuoring, wouldn't contain much exploration in the sense of ruins, temples and hidden treasure troves in booby trap filled caves though. Sefton is one to comb through a private residence or open library, perhaps during the creation of a Pact in some cases. However he does have A LOT of relics to go through so if that's your bag then feel free to run into me, I'll be getting out of the Pactmaker Tower with my next post so worry not about not being able to interact with me soon.

@sunnyside Yeah I know I read her post and sent her a PM saying it would take me a few days to respond to her because I have my hands a little full these days.

@Blackwaltz That's unusual for me because I'm British and schools here finish at 3.30-4.30 (depends on the school - primary schools finish at 3.30, sixth form colleges 4 or 4.30) so the idea of school finishing at 2pm is ... baffling. xD.
Shi'ran is just estranged from how the world's advanced in the past ten/whatever years so pretty much anything technology or artifact-wise is going to grab his attention. Scouring a library for things or going through a museum would keep him fairly occupied for a while. Proper exploration (with reasons) moreso but still, there's that. He might even be willing to bring things to Sefton if things go that way. (I'm just speculating of course).
It depends who else shows interest or who takes similar classes. -shrug-

@sunnyside That's a good idea to tag names, and something I'll do from now on. Definitely makes things a wee bit easier.
@Blackwaltz re-reading your post (a few times, since I need to read a post a few times to fully soak everything in) it is a class that Xexiam may be very interested in joining. It could begin Xexiam on the path of finding a relic or something that allows him to stay grounded to reality and not rely on the emotion of others.
I can see Xexiam in any class, however. If anything just for the knowledge alone. Knowledge is power after all.
We could possibly also take this time in OOC to discuss what classes we can all ~conveniently~ be in.
Perhaps there should be some mandatory classes?
As for classes, I've mentioned above what Shi'ran may be interested in, and if anything else comes to me I'll mention them. I just hope it helps (I think Shi'ran may take to Xexiam, it depends what sorts of magic he knows.)
: The Game. You just lost it. :
My signature was so old it broke. RIP signature.
WELL Xexiam does know some black magic, which you mentioned Shi'ran may be interested in a class of dark magic. This can lead to some social interaction or even..........................private tutoring! [/dun dun dun]
Not sure how Shi'ran would feel about the necromancy.
As for mandatory classes, I have a suggestion. History or Magical History? If the school is meant to try and prevent conflict, it may be best to look at the mistakes of the past. Again just a suggestion.
Hmmm, it seems the exploration class is popular.
Cool. Though one of the reasons I like play by forum games is that they fit well in an overfull life (like mine!)
Actually on that note I should point out that I'm aware that some people, and some entire forums, demand huge long posts, but I don't require that here.
Now I do enjoy a good long post, and they show of one's RPing abilities. And I always encourage trying to flesh out a post a little (perhaps describing a thought, a motion, or something in the environment to add some depth). However I find that a paragraph is plenty to keep things rolling and one of those sooner beats out a huge post later, especially in interpersonal interactions.
But I'm cool with whatever, and enjoy different RP styles.

I just go for quality over quantity, but I tend to write long posts due to details anyway.

@sunnyside By the way I'm still alive, I've just been waiting for more people to post.
