Magic is mysterious. Magic is attractive. Magic is powerful. Magic is all of this, and more. But above everything, however, magic can be studied. And that is where the Breakfast University of Magic comes into play. It is one of hundreds of secret schools scattered throughout the globe, and also among the foremost, perhaps even the best. It's Founder and current Headmaster, at least, is unrivaled among mages, and among the archmages, first among peers, and he has been for seven hundred years. The University is an alliance of different schools of magic, all dedicated to fostering the potential of the magic users who walk through its hallowed halls. Although, rather than a conventional school, it is more akin to a huge research laboratory with occasional lectures. Fights are also more common and accepted than what would be permissible at mundane universities - it has to be, otherwise combat oriented magic users would wreck the place going mad from boredom! Anyone can be accepted here, but not everyone; the standards for acceptance into the University mean that at the very least, some measure of control has been attained. It does not accept complete novices. [hr] [center]OOC[/center] [u][b]Magic Ranks[/b][/u] - Mages are classified according to power, control, and their singularity - that is, the percentage of people that can replicate magic similar to theirs. [hider] [indent]Apprentice - a complete beginner, and can only cast the most basic of spells without much precision or skill. Novice - Much like an Apprentice, they are still somewhat clumsy when it comes to weaving magic, however, they are not so much that they are in constant need of a Masters guidance, and can work a little more independently. Journeyman - Skilled, though somewhat rough. To be a Journeyman means you acquired all the skills necessary for independent practice, and require little guidance from instructors. To be a Journeyman is the first step towards Mastery. Most Mages are Journeymen ranked. Master - The minimum require amount in order to take an Apprentice. They are a masters of their craft, and a combination of skill and talent has brought them onto a stage seldom shared. Their names are most likely known globally, as most Masters habitually keep each other informed of themselves. Grandmaster - Higher and higher, your skill and power grow. They are the Master of Masters, and in the normal course of things, unmatched. Their voice is authority, and theirword is law. In the entire world, only a fifty Grandmasters exist. Archmage - The top of those that still deign to exist in reality. Powerful is too weak; Wise is too foolish; and special is far too mundane. They are the leaders of the magical world, and are a step short of gods. In fact, they can be said to be physical gods already. Only fourteen Archamge exist, and are collectively known as "The Fourteen"; Archmages have a nasty tendency to try and kill each other. Their battles usually take place off-plane or somewhere like the middle of the ocean to avoid accidentally reshaping the world. Archetype - Only four with this rank exist. [i]Reina Wisdom[/i] - "The Witch of Creation" "The Silver Brush" "The One True Nobility" [i]Chase Asu Du Morgan[/i] - "The Golden Empress of Destruction" "The Golden Dawn" "Why Is The Sun Coming Close-ARGH!" [i]Night Sky[/i] - "Void Dweller" "All-Consumer" "Gluttonous Void" [i]Edward Carter[/i] - "Guardian of the Silver Key" "The Forgemaster" "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Killed" [/indent][/hider] [u][b]CS[/b][/u] [hider] [code][b]Name:[/b] [b]Age:[/b] (7-21 y/o) [b]Gender:[/b] [b]Appearance:[/b] [b]Year:[/b] (How many years have they been studying in B.U.M.)

Some locations may require you to be at least Journeyman rank, and sometimes with a Masters permission or presence. Field Trips are usually undertaken for the purpose of gathering materials, study, or experience. Locations include the likes of the realm of the Fae, Atlantis, and Tartarus. Requests for a field trip must be submitted through the Department of Academic Affairs with at the signatures of at least [i]three[/i] participants - you are not allowed to go on a field trip alone! [hr] Welp, that's everything until the RP proper starts, then I'll add more. In short, it's a kinda sandbox-y magic Roleplay, with an emphasis on adventure and concepts. Interested?
