[OOC] Liseranna Academy For The Magically Gifted [ALWAYS ACCEPTING]

[GrafRoy Zeppeli]

I haven't done that in ages, so don't worry.

[Matsuri]

@GrafRoy Zeppeli So, just one question before I start writing my character's backstory... Is it possible for someone to have a familiar before they enter the academy? I was thinking of having a familiar that had formed contracts with the previous generations of my character's family, and thus having said familiar bound to my character already. Would that be possible or is that crossing over into Mary-Sue territory?

[GrafRoy Zeppeli]

@Jay Kalton It is not crossing over to Mary Sue territory, as long as the familiar isn't extremly powerful as in, they can kill just about anyone if they look over at them or things like that.

Well, post it over and I'll see if there is a need to edit anything.

[Musoka]

Want to make a young prodigy teacher. Would that be fine?

[GrafRoy Zeppeli]

as long as it is not Negi

Yes. If there's anything wrong, I'll let you know after you post.

[Rune_Alchemist]

Oooone last question before I head off for the night.

How many types of spirits would a Pythones mage realistically have control over? I would imagine being able to control one or two types consistently would be most realistic.

Or would they be able to control any spirit, no matter the element/type equally effective? Just something I've been thinking about while I've been finishing this up. Probably just me over thinking things again.

Ah, it really is late. I can't even type straight. Bleeeh.

[GrafRoy Zeppeli]

@Rune_Alchemist Ha, it's good to see you working hard but don't overwork yourself.

If you burn out before the start of the RP you are no good for me ¬¬ joking joking

To answer your question, a Pythones mage would be able to control any spirit at any given time effectively AS LONG as it falls under their jurisdiction.

Example. A Pythones: Water Spirit mage is able to use spirits of water scattered about anywhere, independent of whether they have used them before or not.

HOWEVER, if a Pythones mage is possessed by a powerful spirit, they could summon that spirit to fight AND have another kind of Pythones magic in full effect.

If this does not answer your question, just tell me and I'll go even more into detail with it.

[Musoka]

No no no. Not that young. I more meant 20ish...more young enough to be misconstrued as an older student.

@GrafRoy Zeppeli

Overwork? Me? Pfft, just give me a some caffeine and I'll be good to go for another five hours~
and probably spend the next day sleeping until one in the afternoon, but shh.

So, anyways - A Pythones mage is only able to control one type of spirit, let's say Fire in this case, and would be able to call upon fire spirits in the area wherever they are only.

They however wouldn't be able to say, be able to use wateror other spirits in the area unless they were possessed by a powerful water/other type of spirit?

Might as well go ahead and ask what exactly possession is. Is it sort of like housing a powerful spirit inside of the mage, and being able to use it at will at any time? Would the spirit have any sort of effect on the mage if so? How would someone go about doing that, anyways?

Sorry for asking all these questions. I just like to be prepared if they ever become relevant~

[GrafRoy Zeppeli]

@Rune_Alchemist It really depends a lot on the mage, actually. An unexperienced mage may actually be possessed possessed by the spirit, and they will experience symptoms of either a complete change of personality if their will is not strong enough, and if they fight it back, then they will experience something akin to what we see in exorcist movies or such. Convulsions, puking, etcetera, etcetera, in a fight for dominance against the spirit.

An experienced mage has the spirit either firmly on a leash or has a contract with them that allows the two of them to live in a same body.

Spirits possessing others usually use a lot of stamina and mana to manifest and use so it is often used as a trump card.

[Rune_Alchemist]

Hmhm~

Thanks. I think that's everything. I'll finish up my CS tomorrow since it's kind of late here.

[Akai no Senshi]

Heeey, I am definitely interested in this, Grafuroy Zepperi. It looks pretty cool.

[Temporary]

I... Was not expecting so many posts upon my arrival. However, now I have a better understanding of some parts of the magic.

One thing though. In Naturalis, what type of time magic are we talking about.? The reversal of time on single objects of areas, or the complete domination of the flow of time, like freezing, reversing and fast forwarding.

[Musoka]

Half way through my Contritio Naturalis teacher. Super tired though. Should finish him tomorrow night.

[TheHangedMan]

This reminds me of an old RP I had with a really complex magic system ^_^ I'll have a sheet up soon.

[GrafRoy Zeppeli]

@Vocab You'd have to be an incredibly powerful mage (*cough* Eye Of Baphel *cough*) to be able to do something like controlling the whole flow of time, so you'd just be able to control the time of single objects.

If it's still not clear, well, go ahead and post the CS we can discuss things better after I see what you have in mind

[Matsuri]

Not what I previously intended to produce, but I think this CS should be just as good.

The long awaited character sheet

"Even the most beautiful of roses can have the sharpest of thorns."

Name: Vera Meadows

Nicknames/Titles: Lady Vera

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Race: Very human

Sexuality: Very thorny Heterosexual

Year: 4

Ranking Class: Sorceress

Magic: Naturalis: Rose Garden

Simply put, Naturalis: Rose Garden allows Vera to create and manipulate rose thorns at will. This magic can be used in long range combat, although it can be used in close range attacks to some extent.
These thorns can also be used to form defensive barriers and shields to protect the user from harm. The more mana used the larger the thorns become. Vera is also capable of creating and manipulating rose petals to use as a screen or distraction.

Strengths: The greatest strength of this magic is its multiple uses and ranges. For a long range attack, Vera can simply wave a hand and thorns can sprout out of the ground towards the enemy. This is also the case for closer range attacks, however it is possible for Vera to create shields made of tightly packed thorns. As said before, the more mana that is supplied with each attack, the larger, stronger an thicker the thorns become.

Weaknesses: As this is a magic used by long distance fighters, fighting at a closer range can be a struggle, despite the possibilities of countering against it. Also, the less mana used, the less powerful each attack becomes. Only those with large mana pools can manage to fight with this type of magic for long periods of time. This magic is definitely not for the brash and reckless; it takes strategy, skill and preservation to wield.

Catalyst: A large silver ring with a deep red gem pressed into it.

Inventory: Other than her ring, Vera usually carries small sweets around with her (her sweet tooth can't go unnoticed when there's a cake shop involved).

Familiar: ---

Squad Name: --- (If it's a new school year then Vera's most likely new to this whole squad thing)

Pesonality: Vera is an unusual one; the graceful yet mysterious air she gives off is almost haunting. Her pale skin and rather tall height seem to compliment this, but it isn't like a majority of people are terrified of her. It's more like… getting to know her fully takes a bit of time. Other than that, Vera is a pleasant young woman. Full of faint smiles, gentle words and grace, this girl doesn't seem like a fighter at all. Quite the opposite, actually.

However, no matter how many smiles or thank you's she gives, almost everyone she comes across will usually note her as 'mysterious' in their books. Sure, she smiles and puts on a pretty face all the time, but the mask she wears almost 24/7 is what hides her true thoughts. No matter how hard you stare, you'll never be able to see what this girl is thinking. Did Vera ever think good of that drawing you showed her last week? Did Vera ever think of dumping her insides into a toilet after you made some food for her? Did Vera think badly of you after you told her something nasty and regrettable?

You may never know.

There also hides an even darker layer to Vera that none of the other students have seen before. A cunning, manipulative woman who will do anything to get what she wants lies beneath that pale face mask of hers. A layer that only rises to the surface in the most dire of situations. What to expect when said layer rises to the surface?

You may never know.

But remember, Vera isn't completely evil. She rushes to help someone in need. She laughs at stupidly funny jokes. She cries when something saddens her. She feels discouraged when a close friend is hurt. She'll protect her fellow classmates to the end.

Because, even if her mask hides a lot, she's still, you know, human.

Backstory:

Although Vera was born into a wealthy and powerful household in England, her childhood was a simple and happy one. As a child, Vera had a passionate and curious mindset. Always letting herself get lost in the mansion's library, the little girl would spend her free time reading about the functions of the world. All of this knowledge fascinated Vera, and every day presented her with new information to take in. But, even if these books held facts to the world around her, simply reading it off a white page wasn't as satisfying in the least. Vera wanted to explore the vast world for herself, to really experience the world's wonders and mysteries.

However, this wasn't something Vera was going to gain by simply asking. Her life as a mage still lay ahead of her. For the next few years, Vera would continue with her studies, eventually being sent over to Liseranna to attend its prestigious academy. Now fifteen years of age (going onto sixteen in a few months), the young woman continues to dream on exploring the world herself. There are still many things this girl doesn't know, but until her wishes are fulfilled, Vera won't stop to know everything there is to know about the earth.

[Temporary]

@GrafRoy Zeppeli that's more of less what I thought, minus the whole Eye of Baphel. My idea was the ability to alter the time flow of selected areas, so you could make that area age faster, age slower, revert to a previous state or forward to a future state. You'll see it when I write my cs.

[GrafRoy Zeppeli]

@Jay Kalton Vera is accepted. I dunno if you got your idea for magic from Fairy Tail but it is still failr interesting regardless of that.

Go post her in the Character section.

Oh, and I should go ahead and say this. You guys can have as much characters as you want, as long as you can control all of them. I'll add that to the rules.
