I'm just popping in during class, I'll likely pop back on tonight an hour or two before bed. It doesn't seem like any ICs or OOCs need me...so you'll have my attention haha. ^^;

I suppose the immortality thing works. Or just call it an extended lifetime, since I do think immortality may be a strong word. 

We could always have different means of harnessing magic so our character(s) could do whichever we personally like, if we can't come to an agreement. Personally (I almost sound like a broken record here lol) I'd rather keep things simple since we're still stuck in the planning phase of things. I also think the more simple we keep things, there's more room for complicating things once we get comfortable. So if we just want to go with the idea that magic is everywhere and that the environment can influence magic but it doesn't need to, would work?
