[Hider=A lich?] Name / Nickname: Aelicherenordiana. Usually calls herself Aelich for brevity. Age: Though her body is about 17 years old, her soul is far, far older, likely predating anyone alive. Gender: Female Nationality: A now dead nation, part of what is currently the Imperial Legion. Appearance: [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/415623283090784256/685847172746706985/image-4.png[/img] Species: Human. Technically speaking, a lich. Rather than your normal lich though, her body is very much alive and thriving, and she has no need of such a silly thing as a phylactery, her spirit merely forcing itself back into her body to revive. Physical Abilities / Skills: Her body regenerates very quickly as a result of her prowess. Outside of that, she has manipulated it to barely require sustenance, metabolism perfectly efficient. Magical Style: She supposes she's technically a necromancer, but she prefers the term soul manipulator. Using a bit of magic and her fingers, she can remotely control dead matter like a puppeteer, though she rarely uses that. Rather, she tends to prefer to mess around with souls and the bodies that hold them, able to use any part of her body that is 'her', from touch to breath, to grant her control over a particular soul. This has a number of perks, ranging from being able to pull the soul out of the body (which she rarely does), to reviving the dead with no ill side effects, outside of perhaps some hunger. For normal food. Not brains. Magical Skills, Hobbies and Interests: Easily her biggest hobby is the manipulation and mastery of life, interested in anything that can improve the experience of life as a whole. Outside of that, she's fascinated with modern technology and magical advancements, claiming that beginner tricks were among the most complex spells in her time. Why are they enrolled in Fae Creek Academy?: She heard that this school was among both the most dangerous, and easiest to get into, and figured its as fine a place as any to get into modern society. At the moment, she's trying to lay low and not draw attention from any major sources of power until she knows what the modern world is like Personality: Her goals all wrap around to the central pursuit of knowledge about magic, although for her personally this prioritizes life, and how to improve it. That said, while she is ultimately benevolent, she is most certainly arrogant in her own prowess, and confident in her ability to revive herself, she's also most certainly not nice about her abilities, typically lecturing those she just revived about their mistakes, and having no sympathy for criminals, advocating that she should just liberate their souls from their bodies to make room for those who deserve life. Backstory: Interestingly, it wasn't her parents that were killed. Centuries ago, potentially longer, Aelich studied healing magic, and expanded in it to the point of being able to harness the soul itself, both as an energy source, and as a tool of life. While this did take nearly her entire natural life span, none of that time shows since, due to her mastery, she simply rejuvenated her body back to a younger point. Introducing herself as Aelich, eventually she decided to simply stop thinking for a time, and allow time to pass, to see how society progressed. Over time, the rumors of Aelich cycled through the magical circles, coining the term Lich, though none could quite succeed with the mastery she had, requiring a vessel to house their souls while their imperfect revival typically left the newly coined Liches lacking true life. That said, her self imposed stasis did last longer than she intended... General Skills, Hobbies and Interests: Primarily interested in both history and technology, although it will take her some time to adjust to the differences in languages.[/hider] [hider=Interview or something] The admissions officer sighed at the last paper on the stack, of course, this one only applied after they had started the party, but looking over the admission, he had to admit, it was a bit... strange, and if true, it could save them some valuable resources running those stupid expensive revival pods from all of the troublemakers this year. The door creaked open, the somewhat young girl (though about as old as the rest of the people, really) stepping in and sitting down across from him, seeming quite composed, and faintly smiling. "So... let me get this straight, you specialize in the manipulation of the soul?" He stated slowly, to which the girl nodded, speaking slowly, an unplaceable accent on her speech. [color=#fee12b]"Indeed. If you would like, I have a demonstration ready."[/color] The officer paused at that, taking a moment to parse her speech, before shaking his head. "Ah... not immediately. I have a few questions. Your name is... A-lich-air-a-nor-die-ana?" [color=#fee12b]"Close. Dee-ana, not die-ana. Also you can just call me Aelich."[/color] The girl nodded. "And your homeland is... 'The oldest historian wouldn't recognize the name'?" [color=#fee12b]"From what I know, yes. I've checked up on a few old maps, and the oldest one is a few hundred years off."[/color] The officer paused once more, shaking his head. This was a strange admission, he must admit... "So you're... what, a thousand years old?" He chuckled. [color=#fee12b]"I'm not entirely sure. I've been napping for... a while."[/color] She frowns, then shrugs, grinning. "Right... so you can revive people from death?" [color=#fee12b]"Up to a year! After that, I need to actually ask their permission."[/color] Aelich grins, and the admissions officer lets out a soft sigh. "Alright... I think I already have a roommate in mind for you... Although, why did you choose [i]this[/i] school?" He asked almost incredulously. If this was all true, then surely she could go to a better school... Aelich shrugged [color=#fee12b]"Well, I heard a few rumors, and figured you'd take just about anyone, so I could use you to figure out what all has changed. And, uh... a lot has changed, really."[/color] Aelich winced, and the admissions officer did as well, though for a completely different reason. That was true... Well, she would probably make up the losses of having her as a student, by meaning they didn't have to pay to use the resurrection pods when some idiot ends up making a fatal mistake... "Fine. Then... consider yourself accepted. Although, I do want to see this so... and you're gone already."[/hider]
