The Island of Ascension

@Synonym@Birdboy

Dr Clementine forced a smile "Fortunately, in our studies, every human is capable of harnessing these energies. The varying degree of effectiveness are tied to how much they apply themselves. As for the reason you were chosen well...I have been labeled eccentric before. I wanted to offer...second chances. A fresh start for all of you. And what could make a restart better than becoming a mage in the process? Also..." He looked at Clover "It's best to study with a sober mind."

"Oh man, so I can't grab a beer?" Exclaimed the blonde haired boy from earlier.

Evan then looked at his phone to check Google maps, only to find he couldn't access the Internet and his service was gone.

"The secrets to harness Noetic Energy is a secret, as are the communities of those who can harness it. Palmer Island has a deal with Maniacles to help their island maintain a low profile, and Maniacles always delivers."

A few other people could also be seen checking their phones to see they've lost service.

The points go quite a bit higher. The points is just, proficiency and can be raised through training and practice.

Evan looked irritated, but was actually concerned. There was a man arguing with someone over the phone, and another thug looking guy hitting on a woman nearby. These things alone didn't bother him so much, but with what was already on his mind, everything else seemed worse. Luckily, Dr. Clementine was here to quiet everyone down

"I am aware of your skepticism, all of you. Before I understood what I do now, I was skeptical myself."

He held up a thin, black device that resembled an iPad. It was a little larger than an iPad, and the screen was visible to everyone. On the screen were the words "Noetic Energy" and a vertical bar on a graph that moved up and down ever so slightly every couple of seconds. Besides that was also a percentage that changed in sync with the bar. "52%...57%...51%...."

"There are energies we cannot perceive naturally, but can harness. To harness this energy expands our possibilities more than we can dream of." Dr Clementine explained. He points his finger over the percentage sign "Throughout history, people have found numerous ways to connect with this energy, but one can connect more easily and practice most effectively in places where the strength of this energy is around 50% and 80%."

@Synonym Ok, that's fine. A non-combatant character will be interesting. And yeah, gossip and makeup are charisma and manipulation is deception. Your character doesn't seem too intimidating lol.

@Birdboy

A man nearby whistled at Ursula. He seemed to be around the same age, with light blonde medium length hair and green eyes that seemed to glow. His thin green jacket did little to hide the bulk of his arms and shoulders.

"I like the goth look." He said shamelessly. It was could be compared to cat calls from day laborers.

Then a tall, slim, mature man with round glasses walked into the passenger area.

"Settle down, Mr. Collins." He said, as if speaking to a poorly behaved child.

The man in the suit then positioned himself at a wall in between the columns of sitting students.

"Hello. My name is Dr Clementine. I will be overseeing the operation Maniacles is performing on Palmer Island, which you can now see from the nearest window."

@Synonym Looks good mostly. Social Skills is split into Charisma, Deception, and Intimidation. If you want all your points in social, please distribute them throughout those. Also are you absolutely sure you want her to have no combat abilities?

Also, please post in character tab

@Birdboy Oh nice. I haven't RPed on here for a while. I can also post rolls.

The Island of Ascension

@tadcfnaf We don't exactly take turns. If we wait until everyone is on or everyone else has posted we probably won't get anywhere. I even trust people to roll their own dice and figure the success on their own. Generally you need the dice plus your skill to equal 10 to succeed at something, such as landing an attack or picking a lock, with varying levels of success depending on how much higher than 10 the result is. Like doing greater damage or picking the lock without breaking the lockpick or making any noise. I think you might get a feel for it the more you play. In general, don't worry about "winning" because you won't "lose." Focus on the story.

The Island of Ascension

Conrad's HP is correct.
Danny's is correct.
William's is just 38.
Ursula's is just 34.

Damn I overlooked that. But yeah, it's basically anything that exerts energy. Basically any melee combat skill and any support skill that could be considered athletic, like if they had hiking, jogging, power lifting, etc.
