Hey peoples,I've read most everything, except maybe a paragraph or two, and I must say that I am very interested.First, before I make an application, I have several questions:

A ) What kind of 'senior' Shifter form would it be? If I were a Dragon Twin Soul, would I be half-dragon? Would I shift between human and dragon form? Does it matter?

B ) Would a tactical combat suit work for a half-dragon? Not a full armor set, since a dragon would already be armored, but strong titanium braces, with everything from a tactical heads-up display via hologram, to style shoulder-mounted weaponry?

C ) Would being known only by a nickname, and refusing to give out the real name, work?

D ) Final question: Would a dragon-type be able to focus more on speed and reflexivity? Even if it's a half-man half-dragon, that doesn't mean he has to be slow. Giving up the chance to drastically increase in size so he can become faster and quicker, lighter on his feet. Strong enough to be stronger than those around, but also fast AND strong enough to hold his own against a primarily fast, or a primarily strong character.EDIT:

E ) Is this open anymore?

1 - We're talking about a full dragon body, but depending on what kind of skills you want to focus on (speed and flexibility rather than brute strength and incredible defense) will affect what kind of dragon we're talking about. You could be a more wyrm-like dragon: Sleek, streamlined instead of bulky and muscley like the typical Western Dragon. Of course, they would be somewhat smaller than the tyical western dragon then. 

2 - No. Whatever technical equipment can be made would be utterly useless. These Shifters, and magic in general, is so powerful that technological armour and weapons won't be of any help. 

3 - You would be known by your birth name/true name by The Academy and other "high ups," but any other student might only know you by your nickname if you want that to be so. 

4 - Much like I said in #1, dragons can be a bit quick and, but still sturdy and strong. Their biggest strength is that they are a good mix of speed, power and durability. 

5 - I'm afraid it's not open anymore. We already have 8/9 players, and anymore will be too much. You can throw up a character and I'll put you in the "reserves", so if anyone jumps out I'll give you a shout and you can join :)

On a final note, like others also pointed out, I'd prefer if people don't double post with Shifter types. You can also always find another mythological creature that you want to be, and I'll give you a run-down of what Class they would fit under, and what I imagine their strengths and weaknesses to be. 

Edit: Also, like Monochromatic said, you do change between your Shifter and Human form at will.
