I'll probably be coming back with [s]Iravis Ustrina[/s] A phoenix with currently no name and a younger (13-15) year old mage.

Drinking age here is 16 this time around.  Yes, we found that essential and settled it first.

For those of you who are returning, you can copy over a CS or two.  Keep in mind that your combination can be 

teacher/student , student/familiar, or familiar/teacher

But try to refrain from doing two of the same. If you are only planning on having one character, I advise creating a student or the familiar of a student as that character.

Also, mind the changes to the magic types.  It's mostly the same, but you may have to make some small changes to your CS for approval.
