Konami and Masaki are currently green light, going off of what GrEHy said last night. Fox, Card, and Ryonara will be checked tonight, once the Candian GM, and Vari-Vari log online. Thanks for waiting.

Ello all, Grey's currently in Church, praying to his holy deity. Should be on shortly. Thank you for waiting on his critiques.

Oh, crap, forgot to snag the 100th post. Congrats Fox. N'ways, the way it was planned to go about in the old RP was that partnerships could vary, as they were mixed. Could be an offensive and support partner, two supports, or two offensives. Usually pairs would pair up with others to form temporary teams of four. There's no exact order of partner combat types, it's all up to the RPers themselves.

Edit: OH MY GOD just realized I never posted the edited version of my cs it's just on my wordpad. .. I feel so stupid right now fixing this

@The Fox Without

*Pats* It's alright. GrEHy's Canadian, so it's physically and mentally impossible that he can hold a grudge. Except against coffee, the bastard. Anyways, we'll gladly review the finalized CS.

Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

I think we'll be starting up tomorrow, all CS's will be read over by tonight. I believe the rest of the GMs are currently in school, as am I at the moment, I just have my laptop on me when I'm here. I believe slots are still open, I'll be paging through Konami's, Masaki's and Brod's(revised) CS's during my free. I thank you for waiting patiently, surprised we got this many applicants.

A question before I decide on my app. What would go over better, a "psychic" vampire in a sort of New-Age yet still recognizably classic western style, or an Aztec-esque shamanistic pseudo-vampire? The former I feel would be less acceptable in terms of powers (telepathy, mind control [nerfed as needed], "eating" memories, the standard mind rape package), but the latter may run into issues with being "overly antagonistic" compared to other characters (i.e. players may take issue with a cannibalistic death-cultist among their characters). Thoughts from the GMs?

@Dead Cruiser

y0, g'afternoon. I guess I'm leading towards the psychic part, pretty interesting idea. Not sure about New-Age, given their origination of Lucis. Most of the GMs are offline at the moment. As for CS's, we're going through them right now.

M-m-m-more like... GM Supremacist.... *shot*

Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

Stands at 5’8”, only weighing in at 114 lbs. Full Name Varren Yinyues Gender Male Age 16 Year First Year Birthday December 12th Astrological Sign Sagittarius Species A complete and utter ordinary human, down to the very core. Class Commando - Taking his expertise with firearms into account, and his moderate anatomical capabilities, Varren found himself most effective by fashioning such a class. Going by the book, a commando is an individual who shows cunning advancement in the field of ballistic weaponry, showing a knack for the practice at an early age, and excelling past those who would be considered veterans in the span of a few years. A literal sense of being the bullet. Fully intertwining themselves with their instruments, and wielding such contempt to unsurmountable extents on the battlefield. Though only a few individuals full under such a title, Varren being one of them, they thrive in the midst of combat, but falter in social interactions. Though most commandos tend to make themselves the focus of their enemies, Varren fancies hit-and-run attacks and tactics which involve stealth. Varren has also dabbled in basic medicine, carrying a backpack full of first aid necessities. However, he tends to only pack a small amount of resources, in precaution to impeding his movement. Weapon

Magpul Revised S&T Daewoo K30 + Optics Goggles

*Gogles will be added when I get home* After Magpul absorbed Daewoo’s copyrights after the Korean company went bankrupt, a majority of the weapon platforms were trashed or placed in storage, as they were considerably outdated. Though, after being authorized access to the rifles the company manufactured, Varren managed to build a mountain out of a molehill. Based off of the K11 DAW rifle, the boy updated and refined the integrated range-finding system, tweaking the air-burst reception time and minor adjustments to the RPM. Chambered with the traditional 5.56x45mm NATO round, a cartridge which has been in advent use for more than a century. The gun receives most of its credit due to the air-burst combat technique, loaded with six 20x30mm HE grenades, the K30 abides by the same protocol as its predecessor. Firing in bursts of three, the first two grenades detonate on impact, meanwhile the last explodes a few meters away from its target, utilizing the air-burst technique which creates an area of effect of one and a half meters. The K11 originally operated off of four firing modes, the last employing the same trigger to fire both built-in weapons. Varren found this as an infantile hindrance, and critiqued the weapon to surpass such a disability. Being a one-of-a-kind weapon he fashioned himself, it has became his primary and most effective choice in combat. Outfitted with a suppressor, and a pair of goggles with a built-in display of the rifle’s thermal optics.

Magpul M93B

Chambered with a lethal .308 round, molded into a compact and easy to maneuver frame, the Magpul M93B is a fighter’s best friend. On par with most battle rifles, the firearm makes up for its lack of range, with an easy to control rate of fire. Though Varren would normally be rendered unable to fire such a caliber, the bullets are developed for silenced use, giving the user less recoil to deal with. Along with the assistance of a foregrip, the rifle is handled with expertise. This weapon is used less than his primary choice of armament.

Magpul White Wolf

Providing a high rate of fire and chambered with an anti-materiel round, all jampacked into a small, compact product. The white wolf is a prime grade machine pistol, a perfect choice as a fallback weapon, or can be employed to buy the user some time. Able to be held with one hand and takes up barely any space, the wolf also provides an integrated rail-system; which is usually accompanied by an accurate holosight. Varren tends to keep this on his person at all times, but can only carry it around unchambered during school. It mainly serves as a memento, a gift from his family.

World Earth Short Biography Born to the Yinyues family, a family which inherited the American manufacturing company known as Magpul. How the Yinyues managed to acquire the rights to Magpul, and all of the products under its copyright, is a story for another time. Since the present of a firearm was always present within the Yinyues’ house, Varren was bound to pick up on his family’s hobby. If anything, the idea of teaching a toddler how to utilize a firearm wasn’t even frowned upon. His parents believed it was a plausible idea, to enlighten the boy with prior knowledge of what he would inherit. It wasn’t long until they discovered he had a natural knack for the usage of weapons, soon fashioning and making his own adjustments to existing platforms. But such a practice became more than a pastime. It began to suck up a majority of the hours he was awake; and if he wasn’t engineering or practicing, he was most likely studying to secure his inheritance. This left no time open for social interaction, which lead up to his entitlement of the class Commando. Personality Varren is a fountain of self-expression, constantly flowing with emotion and passion. Considered to be an open book of his inner feelings, he conveys himself to those around him with any regrets or remorse. Though, stating his own opinions isn’t a problem; its making connections with the receivers of said opinions is his predicament. Unable to find the words to properly come across people as his true self, people are left to perceive him at their own digression. At times, he attempts to strike a conversation with others, but brushes them off as odd, annoying and a nuisance. Given his childish nature, compared with his age, he catches people off guard and unknowingly forces them out of their comfort zone.(Might add some more once I get home) Partner To be decided. Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s) Anatomical Defficiency: Not as strong as most would presume, Varren is generally a twig of a human being, who can somehow muster the strength to wield weapons of mediate caliber. Though anything chambered in battle or sniper rifles is a no-go, and can easily throw out his frail shoulder. Hot Chocolate: Can’t stomach the stuff. Found out he had such a weak spot for the beverage when his mother attempted to substitute it for his addiction with coffee. The results were not pleasing, to himself nor the toilet he clutched for the majority of the night. Skills Attributes/Abilities/Traits Persona Fluctuations: Medically diagnosed ’dissociative identity disorder’, Varren can completely change his personality at random intervals. Such occurrences are uncontrollable, and when documented, never show any relations or possible signs of a trigger. Though, the only persona which comes out of the fluctuation is completely different from the ordinary Varren. It is basically a polar opposite of the kind mannered boy, retaining an emotionless composure, leaving no openings for second thought or remorse. The counterpart is only in control for the span of a few moments, and once the proper Varren regains his senses, he has no recollection of the past events. Optimistic Supremacist: If a monsoon was to rain on his parade, Varren would single-handedly build a roof to protect the procession. With a skip always in his step and a smile stretched across his face, the boy always looks at the glass completely full. Of coffee.

Is there any pre-established lore regarding the vampires or dragons I Need to know?

@Dead Cruiser

Hmmmm, for Lucisians, it's kinda like an 'anything goes' policy, as long as it's realistic to an extent and can be properly supported. The previous dragon chars we had were two dragon/humanoids, and one legitimate dragon which was the size of a house cat. So if you want to go for a medium sized dragon wearing pants and spectacles, be my guests. Not much restriction in Notre Dame department either. We'll review your CS and happily work out any kinks or bumps.

Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

Gosh, I have too many ideas for this. What are the stances on Vampires, Dragons, and combining magic and technology, respectively?

@Dead Cruiser

y0, welcome to the thread. Alright, well, vampires and dragons, green light on both of those. Speaking from experience, we had one RPer who was a vampire, and two dragon-like characters in addition. As for the combination of magic and technology, let's just keep that as taboo for now. Kinda like mixing hot chocolate and coffee, just doesn't work out. Leads to a mess of OP-ness or overly explained minute points, with its own lovely entailment of controversy. As one would imagine, Lucisians(forgot what we called them) are more versed in magic, whilst the futuristic Earth is based upon technology. Think of the Black Gale as a medium between the two, where it is. Not just in a literal, physical sense, but also in a cultural one. Hope this helped out.
