[OOC] Over

[xodus]

Seeker you need to edit your character sheet in the character section.

@Xodus Wait, what? Um, my character Bits is already 28. She was supposed to graduate at 18, but was held back because she refused to partner with anyone but her brother, Sparks, who is three years her junior. What I had already was him graduating at 18, with Bits being 21. I can hold her back a year or two more, maybe, because of her aversion to using her alchemy, but...not another seven years. Also I'd had the mindset of them having some missions under their belts. Like, several years' worth. Plus Sparks' relationship with Cam will be changed if I change his age. O.o

What the /heck/ is an invigilator?! Is that even a word?! *looked it up* Oh, someone who gives an exam? Huh. I've heard proctor, but not this word. Cool, a new word!

EDIT
NEVERMIND ME! I read something and got anxious. I am curious as to why students in different years are working together, but I can go with this.

<Snipped quote by Rtron>

You sure?

This is just an excuse for you to have Maeve in a school uniform, isn't it?

@Grif of Hearts

Yes. An unreasonably revealing one at that. Vail won't stand a chance.

[bakugou]

Rest in pieces, Vail.

[Rtron]

Rest in pieces, Vail.

@bakugou

Depends on if Vail goes super saiyan 2 while in bed.

Then it'll be Rest in Pieces Maeve.

Let me explain the confusion regarding age gaps and being students. Some character maybe older while some may be younger. The prudent duo is often close in age as the mental sync is the best, however exceptions are made. This is not a typical classroom, it is more of a military camp. Different age groups can be in the same class depending on their alchemic prowess. A young person may be in a higher class if they prove them selves capable. Now you may ask what explains an older person being in the same class? Well not all alchemists are recruited young, some alchemists are recruited at an adolescent or post adolescent age and as such skip the beginning classes and attend a crash course in the final class.

All our characters will most likely be in the same class.

An invigilator is someone who will observe the students through their course and exam and lend a hand here and there. These people are usually alumni who are still rookies in the field.

[Ryver et Rhine]

@xodus is it compulsory for everyone to have their characters there? What if some entered as an adult and have yet to arrive at Innocence 8 years ago?

Also, LOL e.e my chars arent graduation age yet. Since Cams would be 13 and Omar 16.

@xodus

More importantly, how strict of a dress code is enforced?

[xodus]

Ah yes, I forgot to address that. It is true the graduation date is 17. If you don't meet that criteria than you will simply graduate later compared to others. So Cam will graduate after another 4 years where as Omar maybe held back 3 years. Another option is you can show one of your characters hasn't arrived to Innocence yet if the age gap is too much, though that would leave you with only one character to control.

While I say class, again its not per say a school. There is no succession, there is no softmore, highschool, O levels, A levels etc. Its simply a harsh training environment with various lessons and continuous drills to make you the best soldier you can be.

[Ryver et Rhine]

@xodus that allows more flexibility re having one char. :D And as for Omar, he does graduate later for history reasons I shared with you before.

[xodus]

As far as uniforms go, all Characters while training will wear a standardized prototype battle suit. It is not a mecha or machinery but a synthesized armor plating, modified to be sturdy, heavy and maneuverable. Since you will all be newbies this will allow you to take more damage, on par with an actual Asylum. As such these suits are shit expensive, break them you die. =p

I haven't thought a name for these prototype battle suits, any suggestions or images. It can't be too mechanical. But yes as we move to further chapters I do intend for the final product to become avilable to our Asylums >=D

@xodus

Hmm, Maeve will have to save the skimpy clothing and flirting for after the test.

[xodus]

And here is the first main NPC character!! I shall be playing with this lovable guy in the first chapter.

He shall be your temporary teacher =D

Name: ???

Title: Geko

Gender: Male

Age: 46

Position: Lost Number

Speciality: Silencer

Team title: None at the moment

Alchemic style: Motem(primary) Vocem (Secondary)

Code: LXIX (69)

Weapons:

The Harpie and the Lamia: These are a pair of dual daggers, each roughly a foot long and bolstered onto his belt right above his hip. Throughout his tenure Geko has never been seen using a firearm, his weapon of choice has always been one which is silent and sharp. He also rarely ever relies on anti alchemy coating, instead Lamia is laced with a strong poison that targets the nerves (rendering one paralyzed) while Harpie is laced with a toxin which results in temporary dimension. Other than these conventional tricks, there is nothing special about his old rusty daggers.

Alchemy Specialization:

Erase: Erase is a modified version of invisibility, a basic alchemic ability. Geko is credited with creating this form of Alchemy one which not only shrouds him from naked eyes but makes him virtually untraceable. While this ability has no offensive power, it enables complete and absolute invisibility, Geko’s very existence disappears. No foot prints, no heat signature, nothing. However the main drawback is, Geko does not disappear from the physical plane, he can be hit while he is ‘erased’.

Appearance: Geko’s physical appearance is a reminder of the inevitability of time, he is one who has served longer than most and his physical appearance is testament to it. Broad shoulders, a powerful voice, pristine posture; these are traits of the young, the unbent, the ignorant. LXIX’s shoulders are always drooping, unable to heave against the burdens of life. His steps are slow like shackled to weights, yet his pace never falters. His weary eyes rarely ever lift as if a man waiting for slumber to take him and yet his smile, his jovial tone, his constant laughter a testament to an oath made to himself. While he maybe shoveling the grave in which he will lie, he will not weep, he will not sigh but merely smile at the tombstone that reads, “The nameless cannot die”.

Aside from physical traits, Geko wears conventional ‘Asylum’ body armor modified to adapt to his environment. It allows him a minor degree of camouflage something that he finds to be a nuisance, all he requires is a maneuverable black garb to disappear in and reappear with his blade dancing on his foe’s throat.

Personality: From his personality one can never assume this soldier to be a tired, weary old man; instead he comes off as quite the trouble maker. One of his defining traits is his hobby for perversion, being trained in the art of stealth; he makes excellent use of his skills in his extracurricular activities. He is infamous for having a collection of exotic assortments, trophies.

However one would be a fool to view this old man on face value, for despite his insouciance his wisdom and his prowess are legendary. Not only is he regarded as a Veteran Lost Number but also as the oldest surviving Lost Number in over two centuries, for most rarely live past their thirties. However his most terrifying exploit is something else, one which has earned him a unique place within A.M.R.O. While Angel may be a Lost Number whose code is “XIII”, from the twelve Lost Numbers, Geko is the thirteenth and the only one given independent operation rights.

History: Revealed later.

@xodus

So uh, how long are people allowed to be held back before they're given up on?

Maeve will be 23 at the time of this prologue, and Kiara will be 24...It okay for them to have both been held back that long? XD

[shylarah]

@Rtron I slipped up, it's eight years back, not just two.

[Rtron]

Oh. Whew. I was worried that Maeve and Kiara would have been killed because they know too much kicked out of the school!

[Rtron]

Also, because I'm bored, I'm going to start looking up theme songs for Maeve and Kiara.

[Ryver et Rhine]

=D Finished editing my CS. I'll probably updated Omar's personality when I am more comfortable with him.

[bakugou]

Also, because I'm bored, I'm going to start looking up theme songs for Maeve and Kiara.

@Rtron

You're making me want to do the same for Elliot and Renault.

[Rtron]

For Maeve, I'm torn between two songs.
