Taegan: “You dare disrespect your noble family like that?! For shame!”

@Crimson Flame

Lisa: "If it isn't Taegan Granlock! How's your family doing? Still planning that festival to which you'll definitely invite me and all my friends? Anyway listen, I heard this rumour about a secret Illuminaire meeting room located in the third stall of the mens' toilet next to the Herbology classroom and I was wondering if you'd be willing to let me take a peek in exchange for... Hmm... A Golden Eclaire from Mystic Maidens' secret menu? Whaddaya say, heartbreaker?"

True and true, Kaspaan is only in his 2nd year and Lisa& Leah are at least twice that in tenure. I can see him bumbling to see a fight with the rest of a crowd easy. Maybe he just tells everyone their books are late xD

@Deja

That'd be hilarious, I'm definitely up for Kasli interactions! Maybe Lisa will eventually think of him as a cool younger brother, if he plays his cards right? Having a Noble's backing (even if that Noble is Lisa lmao) has its advantages.

<Snipped quote by Frettzo>

And she knows the difference between poisonous and venomous too? I can cry.

@CaliforniaState

What can I say, she may be wild and stubborn, but she knows how to pander to the brainiacs and the talents

@Frettzo@vietmyke would the sparring duo need a delinquent to teach? I wrote Kasp up as a guy who fights everywhere he shouldn't lol

@Deja

Lisa may be a Noble, but she does get into scraps with delinquents every other week and has developed a bit of a bad reputation among goody two shoes for keeping delinquents as friends. If he cares to teach the wild child how to properly sucker punch a dude, she'll gladly learn from him! To the dismay of the Illuminaires, who have to put her in Student Council timeout every other day lol.

@Frettzo

Thank god another Eusebia girly

@CaliforniaState

It is to Lisa's relief that she knows Primrose, who else would be better suited to quickly whipping up antidotes to all the kinds of poisonous plants and venomous animals that attack her during her nightly adventures, if not Plant Girl herself?

--

@vietmyke, of course! You know for a fact that Lisa tends to burst into the gym/training grounds at least 7 times a week loudly challenging Ms. Eusebia to sparring sessions! And of course, we all know she bets next day's dessert on the winner.

Updated the first post.

7 for Seraphin, Joint 4 for Harold & Ivar, 3 for Eusebia.

If people are preparing sheets, think of going alternative to Seraphin.

@Ti

I will move to Eusebia

Bard's gotta have a healer and a tank to cling to. That's just the meta.

Trying to bribe me with sweets is also pretty meta.

@Emeth

U gotta hide them well or Lisa's gonna steal all the sweets

Harold's Academy for the Magically Inclined

Another personal heater!

@Emeth

Almost literally too, girl probably feels like a heated brick wall lol

Lisa Goldheart

◈ A p p e a r a n c e ◈
Lisa Goldheart is an olive-skinned, wavy black-haired teenage girl of above average height, sporting an athletic build and a pair of golden irises as is the norm for members of House Goldheart. Small, nearly invisible scars dot her body as proof of her many escapades. She dresses in the lightest and airiest clothing she can find whenever she isn’t in class and when she is forced to wear her uniform she will usually get in trouble for taking off her coat and not buttoning her shirt up all the way.

◈ P e r s o n a l i t y
Curious ◈ Impulsive ◈ Outdoorsy ◈ Approachable ◈ Stubborn

As a noble from birth, Lisa can be impulsive and rash to a fault, personality traits that she developed from a young age due to the easy access she had to everything she desired. Despite this, she isn’t a completely spoiled person. While she is stubborn, she is also one of the most curious people you’ll ever meet. While she is rash, she is also approachable and kind. And while she isn’t the most academically inclined student at the Academy, she is definitely one of the most social.

Her pride at her ancestry and status give her a near endless source of self-esteem and a complete lack of fear towards failure (which she thinks of as mere setbacks), and the financial backing she receives from her parents reinforces this facet of hers, as she can easily purchase anything she desires in order to try new hobbies or endear herself to new acquaintances.

In short, Lisa is a rash young noblewoman that somehow manages to capture the hearts of most of the people she meets due to the purity and transparency of her character.

◈ H i s t o r y
Lisa was born as the fifth child of Lucius and Esmeralda Goldheart, destined for a life of comfort and duty within the confines of Lekëan Nobility. Lisa. She was raised mostly by her mother’s handmaidens, and showed her curious spirit as soon as she could walk and talk. She’d ask questions about everything, often driving her mother and carers to annoyance before they sent her to play by herself, which usually ended up with her finding her way to the craziest spots in the Manor. Lisa always smiled whenever she remembered that time they had to get a Hatcher to cut a hole in her bedroom’s false ceiling after she somehow found her way into it.

As a young noble child, she was subject to private tutoring on Lekëan History, Etiquette, Noble Life, Numbers and Letters. She cared not for any of it except for whenever the tutor would bring up stories about Goldheart, their heroic ancestor, a noble man who had given everything up to become a scout and explorer in charge of an airship under the command of the Harold Arslan. His stories would brighten her day up without fault, and she would soon find herself exploring every nook and cranny of her family’s estate.

But despite how much she enjoyed her early years, time always marches forward. When she manifested her Gift for the first time at age 12, she was enrolled into the Academy, where she quickly made friends and enemies and learned more about the world than her noble family would’ve ever deemed fit to teach her. It was during her first year at the Academy that she found her love for all kinds of sports and practical commoner’s clothing. Her second and third years she built a reputation for herself and soon became both a trusted ally to the Illuminaires and an occasional thorn in their side.

◈ R e p u t a t i o n
Lisa is a popular figure at the school, not only because she is a true direct descendant from one of the many lesser heroes of the Time of Tears and a Noble herself, but also because she is simply fun to be around and a great source of inspiration to the younger kids. Her adventurous spirit coupled with her complete lack of reservations when it comes to being the first to try anything new helps people come out of their shell when around her, something that has helped her meet dozens of people she would gladly call friends, and several still that she would call close friends.

She is also known for being a troublemaker, because whenever something happens Lisa just so happens to have been involved in some manner, whether it be by chance or purposefully so, and being known to be on friendly terms with some of the school’s bullies doesn’t help that part of her reputation.

Overall, while most would agree that Lisa is a genuinely cool person to be around and is truly dedicated to being the best she can be, others would perceive her to be rash, academically unmotivated, and perhaps even a bully herself.

◈ G o a l s
In truth, while Lisa is proud of her ancestry and the achievements of her family and her country, all she’s really thought about since the end of her second year at the Academy has been Exploration. She wants to explore the primaeval oceans and the highest mountains of Lekë. She wants to delve into ruins of the past, discover ancient truths and secrets, and even find new worlds in the process. She is aware that her dream of becoming an explorer is likely to be just that – as the obligations of a noblewoman are too restrictive and her duties too heavy to justify throwing it all to the wind, but… What if? That question echoes in Lisa’s head every day just before she does something impulsive and dangerous in the name of keeping her explorer’s spirit alive, as a subtle sign of rebellion against the status quo her Family has fallen into.

◈ R e l a t i o n s
Siblings: Lisa’s the fifth child out of ten (with an eleventh on the way), and due to her behaviour is admired by her younger siblings and has over time become a headache for her older ones. Despite all the trouble she tends to cause however she has a good relationship overall with all her siblings and wouldn’t mind being trapped in a room with them. Her favourite sibling would be her oldest brother, Lanius, because of how knowledgeable he is about the human body and how much he seems to care about Lisa’s health, nutrition, and training programs.

Parents: Lisa loves her parents,Lucius and Esmeralda Goldheart dearly, but even she can tell that they don’t think much of her. Sure, they pay for whatever she wants and give her the bare minimum amount of attention a child needs, but they clearly favour their other children much more. She realises it’s because they are all more noble-like than her. Still, she loves them and tries to make them proud in her own way. Maybe someday she’ll actually become posh enough for their liking.

Ozzy Rogers: Lisa’s first friend at the Academy, a 16 year old boy hailing from a prestigious merchant family with a long history of dabbling in numerous crafts. Ozzy himself is a bit obsessed with the clothing industry and will use Lisa as a tester for all his new women’s clothing prototypes. Lisa doesn’t mind the attention and the free clothes, plus all the time he spends measuring her before any new project of his is time she can vent about her problems.

Takumi Hana: A girl hailing from a faraway land, Hana is one of Lisa’s many admirers, whom Lisa seeks to include in as many adventures as possible due to her cleverness and ability to find out more information about the spots they’re planning to explore.

‘Dog’: Lisa doesn’t remember his actual name, and she doesn’t care to learn it. Dog is one of the many school bullies, a guy who at one time got knocked out by Lisa and then became a bit of a puppy around her, hence the name. She is on friendly enough terms with him and will allow him to tag along for most of her adventures, mostly because she’s ignorant about the fact that he is still bullying the youngest students.

Li Arslan: No, not related to the Arslan, but might as well be because of how incredibly cool he is in Lisa’s eyes. He is a fifth year member of the Academy’s Explorer’s Club and the one person that has shown her the coolest spots around and the best ways to sneak out of the dormitories at night to have fun roaming around.

◈ M y s t i c C l a s s i f i c a t i o n
Somatic

◈ G i f t
Superhuman Physique

◈ M y s t i c C o d e
Lisa’s Gift of Superhuman Physique manifests in a straightforward way – All of her physical abilities are augmented to the absolute peak, with the one exception being her strength and constitution, which both surpass the peak by quite a lot. Her punches can dent metal, her body can survive diseases and injuries that would kill most others, she can run as fast as the fastest woman and move as gracefully as the most graceful woman.

◈ L i m i t a t i o n s a n d W e a k n e s s e s
Her metabolism is abnormally fast, resulting in her having to eat two to three times as much food as the average male, as well as having an abnormally high body temperature which results in her being uncomfortable in most clothes and climates which is why she is often seen underdressed and having cold drinks/snacks. This means she can overheat quite easily in stressful situations, which can result in all manner of symptoms ranging from dehydration to dizziness and ultimately loss of consciousness.

Thanks for the answers to my earlier question about Gifts! I'm glad it's more like X-men tbh, gives our characters a chance to be more unique. I will start working on a CS and see if I can get it done soon

Oh, for discussing possible gifts, is there someone who I should PM or can I ask for opinions here?

Harold's Academy for the Magically Inclined

Quick question! SO I've seen the bit about Gifts and their categories, does this mean that if I choose a specific Gift like Healing powers, I would only be able to heal people and not do anything else, or do we all have access to some sort of base magical prowess (aside from flight)?

Godspeed!

“Go, beyond this world…”

Was all that Layn could hear, a memory of a sound so loud that it drowned out the roar of the colossal thrusters and the mad beating of her heart. The sight of the heavens above them getting closer and closer, the endless possibilities of having a whole universe to explore, for a lifelong adventurer it was a dream come true.

II

“... Far beyond the sight of the Gods…”

Even with Luna’s body sunk into the cushioned material of her seat, she could feel her heart break as she listened to the memory. Leaving everything behind – Her memories, her home, her friendship with the Light… Luna struggled with all her might to speak, to confess her true feelings to the person that had raised her, to hear her voice one last time.

III

“...Where you can be safe…”

Mitt fought desperately against the mist in his eyes. At that moment it felt like all the sand in the Frontier of Tears had gone into them, but he knew better. He knew that the memory would repeat not only now, but forever more. Quieter than now, perhaps, but he knew that every time the sound echoed in his head, he’d remember the Dunes he left behind, the food he never ate, the people he never met… And he would remember those who never had the chance to leave those things behind.

IV

Leon grit his teeth so hard one of his fangs cracked, but he did not feel it then. He felt only shame, only humiliation, only anger and sadness. That they had to leave their home, that they had to leave their whole lives behind, because… Because…

Bitter tears ran down the sides of his face, his expression dark and eyes dull.

For a moment, he felt the blistering sandstone of the streets of the Sanctuary beneath his bare feet. He felt the hunger of a dozen days without food. He felt the despair that had been the rule throughout his life, eating away at his soul and mind.

“... Where you can have a future.”

And then he felt a single ray of hope – Not enough to blind him, but enough to show him that Light existed, that there was something to look forward to, even when one lived in Hell. It calmed him down.

As New Sanctuary broke through the heavens with a trail of smoke and Essence behind it, Aella dropped to her knees on the hot sand of the Frontier. Panting, sweating, bleeding from her eyes, ears, nose and mouth, she lay there on top of the dune. Had she been a mortal, she would have passed out long ago due to the pain.

Shakily, she lifted her head up to see the Flying City disappear into the sky above the sky and let out a trembling gasp of relief. Sending her children far beyond the grasp of the others was the only thing Aella could think of that would ensure their safety. The only way to save them from the coming wars. But it wasn't goodbye.

"I promise to meet you all again some day. After this land has healed and we have achieved harmony, I will look for you... No matter how long it takes."

The hole in the sparsely clouded skies closed back up and Aella hung her head and slowly crumpled to the ground. Her pink tears dripped onto the sand as she began to lose consciousness. Footsteps in the sand approached.

“Regulus, Larwen… You’ve come for me…” The Goddess muttered and passed out.
