Dark Light

Summoner's Academy

Avarius opened his blurry eyes to the bright light of the treating room. Nearby he could hear the nasally voice of a young boy complaining about a failed summon while the feet of a busy nurse scuffled around him.

Despite all the noise being a burden to his aching head, Avarius wore a wide smile as he lay on his back staring aimlessly at the ceiling.
He had finally summoned, and it was great! He focused on those brief memories he shared and replayed his conversation over and over again in his head.
He recapped the length and feeling of the summon and would use it for future warning.

'You can not know your limits until you push yourself past them.'

He wouldn't be in a rush to do that again, he thought to himself. As he lay there daydreaming Avey overheard bits and pieces of the students complaint filled excuses and the nurses gentle assuring rebuttals. One thing was for sure though, he was going to miss second class, and so was Avarius if he didn't hurry.

Normally he wouldn't mind, Avey didn't like to rush or be rushed. But this was different, this was summoning class and he didn't want to miss a single thing.
Leaping out of the bed Abey raced out into a hall way, "shit" he curses softly to himself, he had no idea where he was.

After a little bit of back tracking and running around he found the rest of his class on the oval. A golem appeared to be chasing the students around while an older man, presumably the teacher, beat on a student...
Avey's body tensed as his first interpretation was an attack. But as it played out he saw it for what it was, his shoulders relaxed as his heart sunk further. To Avey this was almost worse.

'And some of you will do terrible things.' The old summoner's words repeated once again in Avey's head.
'Is this how it begins?' he questions himself as he takes a seat crossing his legs beneath him and watches the golem, his eyes search the creature for recognition, empathy or enjoyment. As he studied it he sought to understand the nature of the summon.

He didn't care as much for the nature of their teacher. Looking at that man made Avey's teeth grind, his hands clenched into tight fists as he instinctually was prepared to step in should he deem it to have gone too far. A moment later, with a deep breath he found his zen and relaxed.

Avarius would sit calmly in place until his class came running by and then join them.

Celestial Bonds: The Fateful Few

Oh cool! Well here's my character sheet, I can leave it up to you guys whether you actually wanna or not. =p

Albert Archibald

Personal Information
Full Name: Albert (Al) Archibald

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Appearance: Al is a young man with short, wavy dark brown hair, vibrant green eyes, and an olive toned complexion. He is of average stature as well as physically fit. He can often be found in rather formal outfits. On the dressier side, he wears a white button down shirt under a brown vert and a long, red jacket as well as black pants and boots. On the more casual side, he wears a red turtleneck, black shorts, and and boots.

Background Information
History: Albert comes from a prestigious family of mages and was brought up as the successor to his family's magecraft, and was instructed by his father to prioritize magecraft over his own interests. Due to unexpected and unfortunate events, his father was betrayed and killed while he was still young, and his mother dying of illness several years afterward. Because of this, he was left alone in his studies and watched after by his uncle, who would assure him that sometimes the path to becoming a great mage required sacrifices. Although Al resents the sacrifices he has endured for the sake of tradition, he is fiercely competitive and eager to prove himself as a skilled and capable magus. And though he believes in his abilities, he worries about how limited they can truly be.

Brief Personality: Al is a perceptive, serious, resourceful, and very competitive person. Though he gives off the impression of being prim and proper, he is, in actuality, notably loud, shrewd, stingy and bossy. That being said, though, he usually means well for those he cares about. His manner of speech is often hostile and dismissive of other people, often getting carried away with himself. It only takes a simple mistake to knock him back off his high horse though.

Emotional Bond:Describe the bond between your character and their partner.

Partner: Who is your character bonded with?

Combat Information
Fighting Style: Albert is very diverse in battle, though he tends to specialize in long ranged combat. He mostly relies on strategy and calculation in order to lead his enemies into a trap.

Equipment: He carries a pouch of various jewels along with him, all stored with mana and ready to be used at a moment's notice. However, due to his fragile mana circuits (explained in weaknesses), he is rendered potentially helpless when he runs out of jewels. In that case, he also carries with him a dagger in which he can strengthen with minimal mana supply, though he has minimal training on self defense. He also holds a family pendant, consisting of a large ruby imbued with many generations of Archibald mana. Even Albert is unaware of its capabilities, there for acting more as a keepsake from his father than anything else.

Weaknesses: As stated before, Albert's biggest downfall is the limited supply of jewels he carries with him and his flawed mana circuits. Though he came from a prestigious family of makes, their biggest secret was their flawed mana circuits that would not allow them to use large amounts of mana at a time. This is why the Archibald family relied on jewel magecraft, conversion of mana into jewels so that when triggered through minimal use of mana cause a chain effect great magical attacks. Albert is still capable of using various types of fire, earth, and void magic, even dabbling in minor water and wind magic, if need be, but it puts great strain on his body, so anything more than a few spells will render him helpless. , resulting in powerful magical spells. Al is still capable of using fire, earth, and void magic without the use of jewels, however, even only using a few spells will strain his body and render him useless.

Celestial Potential Information
Focus: Jewel Magecraft
Spells:
Ifrit Schuss - Fire projectiles that seek out and strike a target, can also be used to cast fiery butst explosions.
Odin Schild - A weak crystalline barrier capable of momentarily fending off attacks (works better on magical attacks, easily shattered by physical attacks).
Verbeugung - A strong gravitational pull that lasts momentarily to hold a target in place.
Engels-Riss - A healing spell that varies in effect depending on the amount of mana expended from the jewel(s) being used.
Brynhildr Gnade - A blinding burst of light that renders those in the area momentarily blind (essentially a flashbomb). Can also be used to unravel illusionary spells or dark magic.
Bahamut Zorn - Similar to Ifrit Schuss, though much stronger and consisting of dark flames that take the form of a serpent-like creature.
Wise Krieger - Owl-like familiars made of jewels that act on their own and follow Al’s commands. (This is a spell he still struggles to master and maintain for a long amount of time due to his mana circuits, so this may not be used until later on. I just know I would like to have my character use this at some point.)

Celestial Bonds: The Fateful Few

@SaberClass4242
Hi Saber, what's a Gem Mage?

Just curious :)

Summoner's Academy

@olcharlieboi
Alright, I'll have him sneak out and be at the second class on time.
Is there a bell to signal start/end of classes?

Summoner's Academy

@olcharlieboi
Awesome,

I'm trying to think how to get from the 'first aid/ med bay' to the next class.
Do you mind if I miss the class and instead get tutorage from either a teacher or class mate?

Also so I don't get anything wrong can I have some small details about where they took my character?

I imagine he is just resting on a bed in a doctors room.
Free to leave when he awakes.
Just over-exerted himself holding the summon channel open.
(And using blood for the circle)

Summoner's Academy

So when we moving forward? What's next?

TNT - The Nameless Tavern. (Always Open)

@POOHEAD189

"What is dead may never die."

But seriously, if you just post you are 99% likely to get an interaction.
I have been quiet here as I tried to get another project going (and failed) but usually drop by whenever there's some activity.

Celestial Bonds: The Fateful Few

Interested!

Does anyone need a bond still?

Can celestial bonds change?
I'm thinking at first it was their childhood long strong rivalry, but eventually it evolves into a stronger bond of loyal friendship?

Anyway, headin to bed, will read up and put in a sheet in the next few days.
