Greetings future hero’s, mercenaries, lords, ladies, monsters, bringers of mayhem, and everyone in-between. You have been accepted into the prestigious halls of Hoseforn’s Academy for Gifted Adventurers! Here you can learn everything you will need in order to expand your skills, whether that be in magic, martial skills, or sneaking around and stabbing people in the back! Hoseforn’s has a reputation for training some of the greatest adventurers to ever walk the grand continent of Ealinata and when we are done with you, you too will have the potential for greatness.

Don't let your ambitions blind you though. The road ahead will be far from easy. Danger lurks around nearly every corner, and there are dark happenings everywhere you look. The life of an adventurer is fraught with danger, destruction, loot, and more danger! Only those who who work hard and train harder will have a chance of succeeding in the outside world.

But fear not brave young adult! Hoseforn’s Academy for Gifted Adventurers will give you all the tools and training you need in order to succeed in the real world, we promise! Grab your armor, your spell-books, and your various pointy objects, and begin the life you were meant for today!







About this RP


As you might have guessed from the description, this is going to be a high fantasy based roleplay that only steals a tiny bit from DnD. You are welcome to be just about anything you want except a God trapped in a little girls body (or anything along those lines). If there is a race you want to play, have at it! A word of warning, the less educated of the world are more likely to fear the non-humanlike races, though intolerance is not tolerated within the walls of Hoseforn. You are free to play this as seriously, or idiotically as you wish, however, stupid actions receive stupid prizes.

It is also important to point out that this is a reboot of a another RP of the same name. Many of the old players have returned in order to give this adventure a second go, however, I will be opening this up to some new players as well! So if this seems exciting to you by all means create a CS.

The Rules


1. You are fresh meat a new student who has just arrived.
2. You must be your races equivalent of young adult. For instance, humans would be around 18.
3. You are NOT an expert in your chosen field, if you were you wouldn’t be coming to Hoseforn.
4. Your character should have flaws, there will be a section in your CS for it. Seriously, no one or thing is perfect and adding flaws to a character adds depth.
5. If, for whatever reason, you have issues with another players post or another player, either take it to private message or let me know so it can be discussed in mature and cordial fashion. If you blast your complaints all over the discord, the OOC, or are rude to other players I will smack the shit out of you have words with you. This type of behavior is not tolerated. I am more then happy to listen to any issues or complaints you have. I will NOT listen to you bash or attack any of my players.
6. All suggestions are welcome and encouraged! We are building this world together and if you have an idea for the world or some plot to help your characters development LAY IT ON ME BABY!
7. Romance is great! Keep it PG-13, K? (And remember Heart not everything is a ship!!)
8. Life happens. Depression, sickness, family or personal injury, hell even writers block get us all at one point or another. If you cant post for a while for whatever reason, seriously, let me know. If you need to drop out for some reason I totally understand. Just let me know whats going and whether you want to come back so I can decide on what to do with your character.

The Discord


The Discord!

This is where a lot of discussion takes place on the future of the RP. Its also where we throw random Gif's at each other. I highly recommend stopping by!



The CS


Think of this as a guideline. I need at least this much information from you about your character. If you want to add more, DO IT!


Story Information


IMPORTANT

Especially for new players


The starting point for this RP is going to be the night of everyone arriving. Originally there was a welcome dinner where everyone sat awkwardly around each other, some people got drunk >.>, and the teachers were introduced. Its pretty unanimously been voted that we're going to skip that part this time. New players can be late arrivals or if you have a different idea you like you can do that instead. Don't worry, I'll give everyone a good jumping off point. But we mainly want to get to the point that everyone gets to meet their roommates. (Yes, you have roommates, the dorms are also co-ed )
The World

(I'm going to be adding more detail to a lot of this in the near future. Right now some of it is a little... bare. You might notice that some information is pretty well fleshed out, that's because some players have written out some fantastic lore that was added to the world. I encourage all of my players to do the same, if you want to write about anything from your characters race to their hometown, DO IT!











The Academy


Hoseforn’s is an approximately 2000 acre fortress of learning. Its is equipped with the most advanced magitech available on the market today and offers all of the luxuries you could ever ask for. It is capable of housing approximately 1000 students at a time, although in general houses a little over half that many. The staff lives on site for most of the year and each has their own private residence (or pocket dimension for the magically snobbish). Student’s are usually housed with one to two roommates in order to promote team work (and save space). Special accommodations can be provided for different races of creatures depending on their needs. All dorms are found on the outskirts of the campus because walking is good for you and promotes a healthy lifestyle.















The Staff













M A G I C

Magic is the backbone of Ealinata. All creatures have Mana (Magical juice) inside of them, although not everyone is capable of using it. The most common way magic is cast is through incantations (either spoken or silently) and runes (magical diagrams that are either drawn or inscribed onto an object to cast a more permanent spell). There are other, less common ways of casting magic as well.

Incantations: The most common way to cast magic is through the use of incantations. They usually come as a phrase or particular word that when fueled with intent and mana cast a spell. Silent casting is also possible although more difficult. If a caster is attempting to cast a spell silently and loses concentration the results can be dangerous for the caster, which is why most novices are forbidden from casting silent spells.

Runic Magic: Runes are magical diagrams that are used to cast a permanent spell. The can either carved into an object or created using a special mana infused ink. They require a great deal of precision and care to create and most have mana stored in them to become active, however, once created they generally last as long as the inscription does.

Alchemy: Alchemy is a mixture of science and magic. It is generally used to create potions, contraptions or other strange concoctions that very wildly in effect. While the use of alchemy takes almost no magical skill, it takes a great deal of knowledge in order to not blow yourself up.

Vibration Magic: Often referred to as song magic, is magic in which the vibrations of ones voice or focus are used to cast a spell, rather then any spoken words. This is common among bards and some tribes of elves. The nature of this magic makes it difficult to cast the same spell in the same way every time, as their are minute changes in a vibration depending on where and how it is cast.

Motion Magic: This is magic that depends on an individuals movements, whether they be hand signs or full body movements. The more powerful forms of this magic often look almost like dancing to the lay person. This magic is incredibly difficult to cast well, and requires free movement to cast. However, it benefits from the fact that it does no require one to speak or have a focus for their magic.

Spirit Magic: Some magic users make contracts with powerful spirits in order to cast spells. These range from spirits of their ancestors to demons. Using a spirit to cast spells can removes most requirements for the spell but comes with its own unique risks. Spirits can be extremely tricky and have been known to posses their castors bodies if given the chance. Also, if something should happen to a castors spirit, (which doesn't happen often but is entirely possible), then the castor becomes virtually defenseless or even injured.

Natural Magic: Some creatures use magic naturally. This type of magic is usually tied to the type of creature casting it and is often involuntary, though this isn't always the case. Examples of Natural magic include a werewolf's transformation or a dragons firebreath.

Holy Magic: Holy magic is cast in much the same way as as incantations expect for spells the caster uses prayers to their deity. The magic is usually relates a great deal to their gods own attributes, although almost universally all clerics and paladins have some way of healing those around them.

(Some information will be changing or will be expanded upon in the near future. I just want to get this up so others can start making their characters. I will make sure to post anytime that new information is added or changed)

It looks good. Accepted. I would hop on the discord and say hello to everyone since thats where most of the rp discussion happens.

With that I think I'm going to close recruitment until everyone gets their characters up and we see where we are at. It might open again the future.

Still need to polish a bit, but it's late and I want to get something out there lol. The second sheet is more an accessory NPC than a full second character.

Roommates!


Hello everyone! The time has come to think about the roommate situation. Its a little difficult because I know some of you are still working on your CS's, but I'd like to get it figured out sooner rather then later so everyone knows who their bunky is and can interact with them!

The pairings that are already decided are:

Lorelei(@Tae) and Rodrick(@Chaoticlaw)

Trixie(@Heartfillia) and Tybert(@LuckyBlackCat)

Finn(@Aerandir) and Juilet(@Tae)

Karya(@LuckyBlackCat) and Sa'Hari(@Chaoticlaw)

Selena(@Heartfillia) and Kota(@pkken)

Ixius @Inertia and Calea @mantou

Demetrius @princess and Balzani @XoXKieroBombXoX

Korr @XoXKieroBombXoX and Holli @Tae

Characters that definitely need roommates, as far as I know:

Edwin (@Duoya)

Taari @StOpossum

No one has to make a decision right away, of course, but I'd like you all to think about who you'd like your roommate to be. It'll probably be easier once everyone has time to finish their character sheets. If you have no idea/don't care we can also do random roommates, in which case I'll stick all your names in a hat and see what happens. We can also have 3 people in a room if need be, but if possible I'd like to keep it to two per dorm. So if you guys have an idea of who you want to be your roommate please let me know either here or on discord. You can also discuss it between yourselves and then let me know! Thanks!

(Its also very possible I missed someone on this list so if I did please yell at me so I can fix it)
