[Ookawa]

[Zelosse]

The site is finally working again! Hurray. I can write up that post now.

Update - IC Delays

Not my fault..

The following players have not given their say on the upcoming post(s): @baraquiel, @Pseudo Stygian, @Rabidporcupine, @RoccanIronclad,

It has been just over a week. Times up. (unless you did say something and I missed it, like a fool)

To those of you who have given their say, you have my gratitude. The IC post is in the works and was supposed to be done by today but with the Guild site going haywire it was impossible to write it up.

To the players currently filling a Teacher role, if you want to have your character do something IC please let me know. There's an optional event same as the Students are getting that you can participate in, to show off what your teacher is capable of.

@Feisty-Pants While I do like the Gladatorial Paladin of the Academy angle you're working for, you have taken a very big liberty with the Headmaster here. I don't recall saying yes to it.

Kano would never adopt someone from a different element but his own without justifiable cause. He would have given you a home, a path, and a way to walk it, but adoption? You didn't even use his name. Just 'The Headmaster adopted me <3'.
Asking me before you went ahead and said it might have been enough for a yes but that ship is sailed, closed forever.

Under no circumstance should you be putting someone elses established character as part of your backstory without at least an inquiry.

Her ability to create light weave, bendable silk like material at will within a few seconds, is an interesting concept. I like it. What I don't like is just how much power you believe a 21 year old can muster. "Dozens of swords"? Try like 3 at a time. At best.

Your ability to create armor in such definition as you have described is on the scale of nothing short of a Primal. The living embodiment of the element itself. Capable of twisting it with barely a thought as it reshapes and hardens on a microscopic scale, allowing it to be armor that isn't actually just a big series of hard light planks. Impossible to control for a sustained period of time longer than a few seconds.

Can't stress enough how much I want to like your character and would ultimately serve my purposes down the road when the real threats emerge, but as you are it would make those events trivial.

tl;dr - limited bladework, no armor (Maybe a shield?), no adoption, bump up her age a bit. Maybe like 24/25.

Fix these please and we can properly accept you.

I think I might be interested in finally bringing Ivan into the mix, considering I've been sitting on him for like...a month or so.

[Pseudo Stygian]

@Zelosse @Kalleth @liferusher Really shouldda posted this earlier but it keeps slipping off my mind (and the last time I remember to do it, the forum was down, natch). January has been wildly busy for me, and I have finals this week, and I start internship next month. I can maybe sneak an hour a week or so here but howweee, I think there are too many things going on and too many characters to keep track of and too many posts I have to catch up on.

So, y'all, it's been fun, but I'm officially taking a hiatus off this RP. Take my name off the active player list. Let me wallow in the disgrace of inactivity. I might be back later next month, when I have enough time to find out what's going on. Cheers!

@baraquiel @Crusader Lord sorry Lyra didn't spent a lot of time with your folks. Have fun out there.

[Zelosse]

@Pseudo Stygian It was a pleasure having you here as long as you were. As always, should things calm down and you want to return, the position you held before will remain available. Good luck with the new job!

[Regitnui]

@Pseudo Stygian Aw... Now I have to find someone else for Zeke.

[Kalleth]

@Regitnui Am I on drugs?

...Don't answer that.

I could've sworn I remembered you saying that you had to set Zeke aside for a while, but I've seen you posting in the OOC, which for the record is perfectly fine. Just, for clarification, are you intending to post IC at the moment, or was I correct in my foggy recollections of your assumed inactivity?

Hider

Name: Jeanne d' Luc
Age: 24 (An Academy Alumni asked to Teach.)
Element: Light
Appearance:
Without Armor:


Personality: Fierce, Defiant, but similarly full of hope. Quick of wit, but seemingly cold of heart when it comes to those who attempt to get close to her. In her dreams, nightmares persist of the darkness that lingers within her soul, no matter how desperately she tries to vanquish it with a blaze of light. A place where she, an Angel of Light, of Hope, is haunted by the spectre of death. Because of of this, her vigilance persists endlessly, as if she is always a Knight that is on guard. This can give her a external persona that is stiff, perhaps even awkward, but as a teacher she cares deeply for her students; regardless of their elements.

History: When it came to those who harnessed light, there are few more enigmatic than the Academy's famous Knight. She was brought to the academy as an orphan who caused naught but trouble with her rudementary use of light. Having lived a life where she had to steal to survive and eat, the sharp change to becoming a student wrought much confusion in her first year at the academy.

If it were not for a steadfast teacher recognizing her potential, she might not have graduated.

Where other students were given their weapons, Jeanne's potential allowed her to create hers. Where others wielded knives, maces, and bows; Jeanne forged her own weapon from pure light. Where others would cause bursts and eruptions of light, she molded and shaped it to her will. At first it was just a sword, but as her studies and disciplines continued, it became much more as she learned to create a shield, and even soft fabric out of woven light. With the teacher's's guidance, she grew to be able to summon and dismiss such items at will, and in just a few seconds.

It grew until she found her current precipice, where she could conjure up to three swords in the air. Blazing blades of light which moved and attacked or defended to her will. As her successes and fame both grew, so did her prowess, which only manufactured fear, awe, and envy when she fought in both practice and in reality.

Many would describe it as watching an Angel bringing the wrath of God upon her foes.

Upon her graduation, her favorite tea her gifted her with an invitation. A chance to teach at the very academy that had shaped her life for the better. An invitation that she took up joyously without regret. For it was her home, and her family alike. Each of her students are treated as such, and in her two years of teaching, she has never looked back.

Equipment: None, she creates it.

Class Taught: Basic and Advanced Light Theory

There. Sorry about going a bit too far! I've always been taught it is better to ask forgiveness instead of permission. ^_^;

Man this site has been wonky the past few days.

EDIT: Whoops, forgot the age.

EDIT 2: Fixed now!

EDIT 3: If Jeanne could be a part of that optional event, I would be more than happy to write for it!

[Zelosse]

@Liferusher@kalleth I leave you both to judge the cs before I say my words.

[Saltwater Thief]

I'll be putting a CS together over the next day or so.

[Zelosse]

@Saltwater Thief No! Now. take your time, mate.

[Regitnui]

@Kalleth I was on holiday in Japan, but now I'm looking for a spot to bring him back in.

[Saltwater Thief]

@Zelosse So, one question as I figure things out. From looking at some of Arya's posts, it sounds like the Aetherial sub-element is essentially the creation and manipulation of objects made out of raw magic (for lack of a better term), is that accurate?

[Zelosse]

@Saltwater Thief correct. Its meant to be versatile enough that you can use many other elements simultaneously, but it falls short in terms of strength due to its nature as a copy of an elememt instead of the true form.

To the players currently filling a Teacher role, if you want to have your character do something IC please let me know. There's an optional event same as the Students are getting that you can participate in, to show off what your teacher is capable of.

@Zelosse

For this, do we just state our interest to have our characters participate, or would there be further discussion involving other details?

@Zelosse

Catherine would like to participate

[Zelosse]

@Raptra the event will be fairly straightforward so just a simple in or out will suffice.

[baraquiel]

@Zelosse sorry! I'm currently on a school trip and I barely have decent connection here. If this is about the ones we're fighting, it's fine if ya just randomly pick one or just an npc :)

[Raptra]

@Zelosse Valeria's in then :)
