Since people are discussing house selection and stuff I figure I'll try and have the character sheet up tomorrow. But before that there's some information that might help people tweak their characters. Mahoutokoro students are given enchanted robes to indicate their skill at magic. First years will always have a pink robe but the colors change as a wizard grows. The colors themselves are not going to be bound by year (excepting first years, if anyone is making one). However, for anyone playing a student in their final year they could be what is called a Gold Robe. Think a prefect only for the eight students with the highest marks.

More information will be given in the OOC proper, of course, including the color options, but anyone wanting to be a Gold Robe student is required to be a seventh year. Since this is set in a Japanese school it will be using Japanese school schedules. Years 5-7 are essentially 'high school' while Years 2-4 are 'junior high' in terms of course load while first years would be like the end of elementary school and an introduction to the boarding school lifestyle.

On the topic of robe colors, no one will be allowed to have a white robe as there is a lore reason for it and also because those vaguely hinted at dark whispers might already have the market cornered.

@Regitnui For the newspaper? Maybe opinion editor? Including writing my own column. I have one particular character idea involving someone heavily involved and interested in mysticism. So I'd likely write something akin to spiritual musings, like some self-improvement column or the like. I'd imagine a selection of kids and teenagers would enjoy.

@SleepingSilence Sweet. I'm not sure if I want to be editor (so fourth-fifth year minimum) or something else yet.

@Fabricant451 Can we make nijū the official word for "muggle"? If I have to read an Engrish "no-maj" equivalent, I may gouge chunks out of my computer screen.

That works as well as anything else in my eyes. Consider it official.

@Fabricant451 Are you planning on creating a specific discord for this particular RP? (If beforehand to help brainstorm ideas between each other and get some questions answered and in a sub-list. So hopefully others don't need to ask the same questions. Or if preferred, after everyone's been accepted and finished with their CS's.)

And I'll start writing up parts of my CS, when I'm aware what I need to fill out.

@Apoalo My slow typing curses me again.

The OOC might not be up today but I come bearing the offering of a character sheet instead. It's simple. It's effective. It's open to modification from ya'll. Go nuts. Pretty it up all you like, make it cool, make it hot, make it whatever. It's a foundation and the house is your character. And the OOC is likely to be up before week's end.

見ぬが花

“Not seeing is a flower.”







Namae:
開花, 工場
Kaika, Kōjō
Flower Boy
JoJo


Gender:
Male


Orientation:
Asexual (Opening Up)


Age:
17


Blood:
Pure






Kōjō has his own style, he’s not tied down by the constraints or societal norms that most children adhere to. His style can only be described as loud and flamboyant. While he doesn’t speak as much, his clothes seemingly do it for him. Kōjō never wears the same outfit twice, this includes shoes and all the encompassing accessories. This of course has its stipulations as the school has a dress code and while he cannot directly manipulate it, he can tailor accessories to his will in order to do so. Kōjō likes to wear a crown of flowers usually that relies on the season, which beyond his robe are the only two things that are rather known as his modus operandi. His outfits stem from Yukata or Kimono’s to oversized faux fur coats, the occasional floral blazer/suit ensemble, paired with scarves and shades alike.


Background:
As compelling as most Wizard stories are, there’s nothing of extravagant substance to the life of Kōjō. His parents were pure-blood wizards through and through. Like most Japanese elders, the couple was of the generation to exude bitter disdain towards any culture other than their own. Their xenophobia went further than just the reaches of Japan, it stained their skin to speak to anyone of muggle born heritage. Half-bloods were a little lest ostracized in their house, but nonetheless, were not treated as highly as other pure-blood families. Much like the House of Black, The House of Kaika believe they were always pure. The mindset being poised and nurtured by the fact that their lineage dates back to the great Shogunates and Daimyō of Feudal Era Japan. Having such nobility and honor brought about from their deep rooted lineage, it was easy to see why Kōjō’s parents found themselves as almost a class higher than the rest.

Unfortunately, to the dismay of his parents, Kōjō was born a pariah. Now this didn’t mean his parents didn’t love him nor have no capacity to accept his quirks, but it did exempt him from the same path his parents followed had he been born of susceptible mind. Since a young age, it was easy to see that Kōjō was of his own breed. He was unlike the other kids, eccentric in nature, rather than play with other kids he spent most of his time in the garden and woods. Plants and mythical beasts were his closest friends and while his parents still loved him deeply, they left him to his own devices unable to relate and help their child. Yet this didn’t stop them from aiding him with resources to find his mark on the wizarding world, he was destined for greatness in his own image. As the boy grew older and more prominent in the art of magic the more aloof he became. Many saw the boy as flamboyant and a mute, but he was far from being a mute. Kōjō was like a plant: roots to give him a strong foundation, resilient and adaptable to any situation, and reliant on the wind to carry him forward.

Although something did change when Kōjō was accepted into the Mahoutokoro School of Magic. Once he was sorted into house Sui, it seemed as though he had finally found some place to call home. A budding seed flourished and blossomed into a beautiful flower. While he remained aloof and flamboyant he embraced it and wore it as his armor. With a lack of self-consciousness and no use for conformity, Kōjō was unafraid to show his true colors. Eccentric, quirky, intelligent; he was a culmination of all those things, raw emotion. Nowadays in his seniority, Kōjō runs around being quite the whimsical character. Whether it’s singing aloud or constantly being in motion as he talks in varying tones and pitch. Kōjō can be a loyal and necessary friend if you can get past his bizarre and devout nature.






House:
Sui


Year:
Sixth Year


Robe:
Forest Green


Electives:

    Care of Magical Creatures
    Alchemy


Favorite Class:
Herbology It was easy to see why Kōjō would enjoy Herbology. The boy practically grew up in the forest as if he was a forest nymph. His thumb was as green as the rest of his aesthetic, if there were any plant that couldn’t grow he could breathe life into it. Having run amok in forests of all kinds he has accumulated an internal photographic encyclopedia on poisonous and herbal plants alike. That’s not excluding fungi, types of wood, and creatures that resided within these landscapes. Kōjō was one with the planet.


Least Favorite Class:
Defense Against The Dark Arts Kōjō technically has a love hate relationship with the class, it’s difficult for the young sprout to hate anything. Kōjō understands the weight and necessity to learn how to defend oneself properly and protect his classmates. However, that isn’t the reason it’s his least favorite class. The main reason for disliking this class stems from the use of the three forbidden spells, mostly the use of the spell Crucio. The demonstrations on live magical creatures is what dissuades the young boy so much, despite the use of arachnids and other monstrous beast, they’re still live creatures who experience the same pain as humans. Otherwise, Kōjō is perfectly content and attentive to the class. Life is precious, who would want to strip that away from someone or something?


Extracurriculars:
Quidditch Seeker
While he might not look it, Kōjō is a naturally bred hunter. Having lived in the wild and raised by wild creatures, his senses and agility have been honed to that of an animal. While he's spent most of his time on the ground, he's always wanted to experience the sky.
Advanced Arithmancy Studies
Ghoul Studies
Xylomancy


Wand:
Kōjō’s wand is a perfect, harmonious marriage between Pine wood and Dragon Heartstring. The straight-grained pine wand always chooses an independent, individual master who may be perceived as a loner, intriguing and perhaps mysterious. Pine wands enjoy being used creatively, and unlike some others, will adapt unprotestingly to new methods and spells. As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Being both flamboyant and mysterious is what lends itself to such a befitting wand.

The wand is 10 inches long with the shape of a normal branch, however the end closest to Kōjō has a spiraling shape that widens in girth to house a translucent crystal. The crystal dictates the mood of the sentient wand and allows Kōjō to communicate with his wand nonverbally. All along the branch are small vein like vines that spiral towards the tip of the wand. In honor of his Japanese culture, small bulbs of cherry blossoms are nestled intermittently along the wand. The bulbs blossom during the proper season or with the discharge of a powerful spell.


Pet:
Kōjō possesses a Japanese Sable that goes by the name of Haru, named after his favorite season.

@Fabricant451I only have one question. Do we have to follow the subjects requirements? Because Alchemy required third year student or above to study. And I am planning for a first year, so....

Oh, yeah. interesting.

@Scarescrow Real talk I honestly didn't think anyone would play a first year since I always assume people would want to be cool magic types. While it's not stated in the character sheet (because of the whole "I made a bad assumption" thing), first years have an extra class in Flying so they have a different course load in that respect. If you're deadset on taking alchemy as a first year you can make a case for it and I'll likely okay it if it seems reasonable.
