    Sorry. Ramsus.

    So, I've edited the post to remove the school of magic she'll focus on. Also, I made the description under pressure, so it might be edited a bit.

    I should probably ask, is my character description good?

    That's fine. Adding more to your characters is perfectly fine as things go along (in fact it's a good thing). Although I'm really unlikely to notice unless you point it out as I don't really have a reason to go check posts I've already read.

    *looks at what BOP threw in as a character* *looks at BOP's question* Uh.................................. well it has enough detail and there's no technical or setting conflict issues? Then again your "student as wizard college" is four puppies! What kind of response were you expecting from me here? Sheesh!

    Well, we need two more players to reach the minimum amount. Also I won't start until I've talked to the four teachers and gotten a first class from each of them written up so as to make sure if irl issues happen we have more time for them to write up the next one. If either of these things take a long time, then that'll delay when we'd start. I'll basically only close signups right when I'm ready to start the game. Sorry, I can't be more specific, but with these variables that could mean anything from Monday (though that'd be pretty unlikely) to two weeks from now.

    Thanks for the invite Ramsus. I would like to be able to give this my full amount of attention but because of time restraints it is not going to be the case for a while.

    With that in mind, if you will still have me, put me on the list. I will provide a character once I have a decent block of time to read the OP/Rules.

    Name: Rengraf Helfield

    Race: Human?

    Gender: Irrelevant. Uses male or female pronouns interchangeably on the rare occasions he refers to herself.

    Age: Like a fine bottle of wine turned to vinegar.

    History: A speaker with spirits that may not even be there. An apparent addlepate, but a natural weaver of the flow of magical energy, captured and sent to the Academy to force some learnng, some control. Something in him was seen as valuable enough that this was the preferable option to simply having her executed or commited to an asylum. She is not violent by nature; nor easily stirred to anger. Constantly asking questions, probing querying questions. The kinds of questions that sometimes lead to uncomfortable answers.

    Description: Walks hunched over most of the time, with an odd lurch-like gait, arms hanging low, enough so that in conjunction with his posture they nearly scrape the ground. Eyes are rheumy, but she seems to see just fine in spite of that. Hands are misshapen; a close inspection makes it clear the fingerbones have broken and been reset in the past. Reddish-brown welts about his wrists; to which healing effects have done naught. Her legs are oddly bowed outward. Such hair as she has remaining is a crop of reddish-brown, though shocks of black can be spotted here and there, and in many places the hair is mangled, or missing.

    Clothes: Rengraf seems to pay little attention to what he is wearing at any given time; he is clearly rough on his outfits - one and all are patchwork collections of disparate fabrics sewn together to cover the holes - and despite this, there are always holes. Although her sponsors would not permit him one, she seems oddly ... calmer ... when wearing a straitjacket, and may go to some lengths if he believes he can acquire one.

    Wand: "One who relies too heavily on a wand becomes mastered by it, as with any crutch kept for too great a time. Let the air be your channel, let the blood be your tides. The waters without, the waters within reveal what is needful. Take as ye must, for ye shall give as ye take."

    Hurray, we now have the minimum number of people required to play! Now just to wait on people making characters and the like.

    In the meantime, how do people feel about 72 hour days and 48 hour nights? Would people prefer 72 hour nights instead?

    Are you able to explain the concept of spying? I admit I didn't quite get it? What advantage does it confer?


    Also

    Character concept!

    Name: Kira McDiarmid
    Gender: Female
    Age: 21
    Race: Human

    Description: A short rather muscle young woman, not overly cute but could be attractive if you were into that sort of thing. She is not often seen without wearing her rather unique breastplate. The breastplate features two nipples that are pieced with rings from which a small Dagger hangs off each. If you're fortunate enough to see her without her armour, you will notice a rather prominent tattoo across her chest which reads: "Useless as nipples on a breastplate."

    Kira is a rather boisterous young lass who is quick to take charge and thinks she always knows best! She is unlikely to be swayed otherwise!

    lol Sprig.

    Let's see, basically the idea of spying is that you get to be in the group QT of that faction and they are not aware you're not really part of that group. As for how useful that is, that depends on how people decide to play I suppose.

    Yay, I finally came up with a character! This description seems a little short, but I can't think of anything else to add.

    Name: Julia Bailey

    History: Julia is the only daughter of two country farmers, who were very startled to see her floating her toys to her at the age of three. From then on, they saved as much money as they could to buy her books about magic, and were delighted when she was accepted to the Academia Ardensis at the age of fifteen. Julia is a happy, friendly girl. She and her family know little about the Academia, except that it is said to be the best school of magic in the land. Because of this, Julia is rather naive about the politics that are awaiting her.

    Description: 5'4", 13 years old. Wavy chestnut hair, usually tied back in a ponytail with a purple hairband, and brown eyes. Julia likes to wear skirts and dresses in blue or green colors.

    Wand: Julia's wand is an oak branch from her parent's farm, carved with swirling patterns by her father.

    Name: Edred
    Age: 35
    History: Born to a very poor family of peasant farmers, he quickly began to show a talent for magic. His superstitious parents sent him to Academia Ardensis "to be with his own kind" a couple years after the events of the last game and he has spent most of his life since then in and around the Academy. Once he was old enough to join the Academy proper he began to specialize in esoteric alchemy. This eventually led him to work closely with Ætheling, who was himself an alchemist (in addition to being a Blood Mage).

    While Blood Magic has become a central part of the Academy, Ætheling has seen enough Blood Magic gone wrong to be cautious about who he teaches the more advanced stuff to. This means there are few former students of the Academy who he would consider to be true Blood Mages. Which makes it difficult for him to find people he trusts to teach Blood Magic. Edred is one of the few currently at the Academy, and so while his real passion is alchemy he tends to end up as the main Blood Magic teacher.

    Description: Edred is of average height, but is quite skinny and pale from spending too much time in his alchemical lab. He has blue eyes and dirty-blond hair, a little longer than shoulder-length and usually pulled back in a pony-tail to keep it out of the way while in the lab. His hands and arms are almost always stained from his experiments, and he usually dresses simply since his clothes have a tendency to get ruined. Currently he favors simple brown robes like a monk might wear with the sleeves rolled up, elbow-length protective gloves and a leather apron.

    He considers the Academy his home, and while he has traveled somewhat widely at times he is always happy to return. He enjoys teaching, since he wants to share his enthusiasm for magic (and especially alchemy).



    And I just noticed Elenna's post, which wasn't up when I started typing this up. At least we have different approaches to the "peasant child who starts using magic" idea. Edred's parents were a bit less loving and understanding.

    @C'nor: hey, no corrupting the naïve young students, that's my job.

    No, he burned it off with acid in an accident in his lab, duh

    Yeah, he's a peasant who was basically kicked out of the village as a child. He doesn't have fancy enough ancestry to have more than one name, and doesn't feel enough attachment to his biological family to use their surname even if they had one.

    Edred is teaching blood magic...and hopefully not failing miserably at politics. You got me on the vampire part though. How about I use my blood magic connections to provide you with a steady supply of quality blood and we join our armies of corrupted naïve youth together into an unstoppable horde?

    Are they really naive youth after you've corrupted them though? If so that'd be somewhat impressive.

    Ok, Teacher QTs sent out, I'm gonna sent a poke PM to the people who haven't made characters yet.

    Name:
    Faelyn of House Caldar, Fifth Son of the Duke of Elsewhere

    Gender:
    Male

    Race:
    Human

    Age:
    20

    Personality:
    Arrogant, high nosed, and destructive, Faelyn delights in nothing more than pain. He is a snob, and superiority is his by-word. He loves to have others do his dirty work, rather than do things himself, and thinks himself 'too good for anyone.' Only the teachers actually grab his attention and servility, but that's mostly because they're teaching him magic. He can be pleasant to talk to, so long as you don't 'embarrass him' which is unfortunately far too easy. He's really not half as scary as he can pretend to be, as he's mostly bark with no bite. He's not totally as snobbish as it would seem, though, as some of it comes from him attempting to 'act to his father's level of respect'. Which doesn't help that his dad is an arse.

    Appearance:
    Sleek black hair frames a face which is more a pointed nose than an actual face. His eyes are a curious hazel, if you can actually see them, which isn't really often. He is a frail boy, more used to discourse on history and lineage than to actual physical work, and as a result he is quite glad he was found to have magical talent. His nails are pointed in the manner of his father's kingdom, in an attempt to appear almost feral. Unfortunately this just looks weird on his frame, as there's nothing threatening about him in the slightest.
