Age: 847 years

Appearance: Tartarus stands at 1.95m in height, his hear is shoulder length and is a jet black color and is always in a pony tail. His eyes, due to him being a vampire, are a shade of red and are cat like in appearance, due to this he always has black sunglasses on, be it in or out side.

Magic:
Schools:
Mana:18

Lightning: 17

Spirit:20

Mental:20

Technique: Due to his vampiric nature and having centuries of time, he was able to perfect his skills to a razors edge. His most preferred tools are that of the spirit and the mind, though he is well versed with lightning as well. His preference for the magics of spirit and mind stem from his nature as a vampire, as vampires are more likely to create illusions and tricks of the mind then anything else. The centuries of time he has had, he has used well; he can walk among a crowd of people, with out them even releasing that he is there, even if they do come in contact with him physically, they will not see him but someone else a man, woman or child or otherwise. Though should you buy some unknown reason ever be able to see past the illusions, the only thing you will remember is that you where knocked down buy some one passing buy and continue on your way, though you might also find a small burn hear and there from something that looked like tiny hands, though you would not know if they where tiny hands

Abilities: Because of his nature as a vampire he has grate strength, speed and agility that is only matched buy the elves. Along with this he is able to transform in to a number of animals, ranging from hawk's and owls to wolfs and cats, though he prefers to transform in to wolfs and owls. Though due to being a vampire he is highly susceptible to the sun as all vampires are, adding to this he is also week to silver, the myth that holy water can damage and even kill a vampire is just a story made by the Christian church, the most it will do is annoy them at best

Skills: Tartarus is a phenomenal violinist, as he finds it to be an elegant instrument that takes grate heart to play, or in his case a lack of a beating heart. He is also an expert on fine vines

Bio: Vampires, vampir (slavic pronunciation), sanguine, night horrors... they have bin called by many names but are best known as vampires. Vampires have bin hiding among men for as long as they have existed, walking side by side with them, using them as both food and as servants. Vampires are one of the rare races that have meddled in the affairs of men, influencing some of the events from history from the shadows. The darkest time for vampires was the aptly named Dark ages, where both witches, heretics and everything else they could get there hands on was hunted, tried and killed... though some times just hunted and killed. It was during this time period that vampires started to recede back into the shadows from where they could quietly observe and influence events and not be exposed to direct prosecution, and that's how it remained till the divine war. In the time be for the war, a council of six grate vampire clans was made to lead them all, and on the head of that council where twelve ancient vampire, of the twelve ancients, only six remain. Buy the start of the divine war, the vampire population was at half a billion strong, buy the end of the war, it numbered barely four million total globally. And where was Tartarus in all of this? Well, he was a part of one of the six grate clans that made up the council, though there are only two of the six grate clans left, his clan was the first one to be destroyed in the war, though some how Tartarus was able to survive the slaughter with a handful of others and hide. It was at the end of the war that he met Arthur Wick and learned of his plans. From that time on, Tartarus has bin acting as the professor of illusion and spiritual magic at the school. And what of his past? Well he dos admit him self that he dos not really recall all of it or from where exactly he is from, though he dos recall that he is from somewhere in Europe.

(As it stands, I opted to make a new character and drop Dendrin as I do not STILL have enough info on the dwarf race, you are free to use him as you will. I opted to do this cos I new I would have a bid more leeway to work with. Hears hoping this one gos throw. I might add some stuff later if this app gos throw tho)

@neogreggory @Myr @Cruallassar

@LordDeadpool

I see no evident problem with Tartarus. I admit that I wish his magic was a bit more unique, I have this fancy magic system specifically so that people can blend things and come up with interesting new takes on magic but I won't fault Tartarus for sticking with the classics.
That said, I would ask you refrain from being rude to Myr, as he was just giving you information. Never be rude to someone who is trying to help you, frankly refrain from such things in general, but especially refrain from being rude to those who gift you with knowledge.

Anyways, I am not very good at examining and judging things, especially characters so while Tartarus does have the okay in my book I would hear from my three Co-GMs their thoughts on the matter.

"You get fooled to easely lad. You remind me of an ifrit I met ones. He got suckered in to binding him self to a lamp!"Dark red

Name: Professor Dendrin Blackiron Dark red

Race: Dwarf

Gender: Male

Age: 460 years old

Appearance: His face <Snipped quote>

Dendrin stands at 1.4m tall which is about average for a dwarf. His hear was ones a dark brown, but do to age and stress its has become lighter in color, his beard is near complete white save for his mustache and the corners of hie beard. His eyes are dark green and full of steel. His skin tone is a slightly darker as he has spent a lot more time on the Surface then most dwarfs. He is rather muscular and fast for his size

Skills: Dendrin, like most dwarfs, is a master craftsmen and smith, tell him to make a dozen recurved sword in 3 weeks, he'll do it in two and make every one of them like it was a work of art, tho his preferred line of craft is wood working. On top of this and his age, he has a grate deal of combat experience as he has bin a part of men battles and wars, the last war included

Personality: Do to his long life, Dendrin has seen a good deal of good and bad in the world, do to this he is a bit cynical and a good deal grouchy. He tends to talk a good bit when he picks up a train of thought or a topic, often times going off the topic that was actually going on. He can, and has, chewed some ones ear off when he starts to berate some one for doing something stupid, tho he dos this not out of anger but out of good intentions

Bio: Dendrin, unlike most of his race was a traveler, as where his parents, as a matter of fact, he was born on one of the trips his parents where takeing. His clan, the Blackiron dwarfs, where one of the lucky ones, in the sense that there stronghold was nod destroyed, do to its specific location deep under the alps. At the start of the war, the blackiron clan was one of the first dwarf clans to come out fully out hideing and give aid to the humans, do this the blackiron dwarfs have one of, if not, the strongest relationship with humans. Be cos of his long life and good deal of traveling amidst humans, he has seen a lot, both good and bad, tho he dos not resent it. In the early years of his life he had plied his trade as a smith and craftsmen form his mother and father be for seting off in to the world on his own to see it and to find more things to learn. Over the next 200 years he had seen a loot happen in the world of men,the rise and fall of empires, wars for freedom,the genocide of an entire people, and meeting other beings thought as myth, hell he even fought in some of the wars in the last 300 years. As of the last 60 years he has bin in the employ of Arkangrad as a professor of Gymnastics/ hand to hand combat and Workshop

I will add, change, edit, remove as needed @neogreggory @Cruallassar @Myr

@LordDeadpool

@LordDeadpool
After some thought and discussion it has been decided that Dendrin is to be rejected. I apologize Lord_Deadpool but the spelling and grammar is simply not something we can look past. Unfortunately, since all our contact is over the written word your small problem is unfortunately anything but. I really like Dendrin I can not deny, but sadly in this space spelling is key and while a few misspellings or awkward sentences can be overlooked, your quality of writing simply does not do DP.

So... how's everyone's day going?

Warrior Cats RP, anybody?

Well, how can I say no to being a cat? Consider me interested.

Arkangrad Academy for Arcane Aspirants [Always Accepting]

I'm trying to figure out what you were playing.

@Pyromania99

In order of my mentioning of them...

Crusader Kings II

Beast Battle Simulator

And then Magic: The Gathering

Oh and I also mentioned an anime which you already know about, and two things I did Irl.

Arkangrad Academy for Arcane Aspirants [Always Accepting]

Started watching Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, which is amazing.

Founded an Irish Merchant Republic, with the aid of dark magic gleaned from joining a terrible cult to the great deceiver.

Made a horde of tiny dinosaurs play soccer against a team of small dogs and pigs.

Made sandwiches for people staying in a shelter who required lunches during their work days.

Got utterly destroyed by lawmages while stupidly large dragons watched, unwilling to simply destroy me and instead letting me be murdered by legal might.

Ate some Mac&cheese, turned out rather decently this time.

---

All in all I'll say I've been good, doing fun things. Arkangrad is going slower than I'd like, but is one to do? How about yourself Pyro, how have you been?

Always remeber this day you almost caught captain Jack sparrow

Welcome aboard Mr. Sparrow, it is good to have someone of your... reputation aboard this fine site.

You know what? My example character sheet isn't up to snuff, not with these other fine character sheets. And frankly how is it fair for my Co-GM's characters to need approving but not my own? So, I present Arthur Wick, Headmaster of Arkangrad Academy. Not much has changed since the example character, aside from the shuffling of some magic and the leap in quality.

Arthur Wick

Appearance

Ah, it's good to see so many fine young minds furthering their studies.

Name: Headmaster Arthur Wick
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Appearance:
No one can mistake Arthur Wick as a young man. With deep wrinkles, deeper scars, and deeper yet laugh lines. Bearing a long white beard and heavy robes Wick is the walking stereotype of a wizened wizard, in fact the old man may be deliberately presenting himself as such. His clothes are often made of heavy fabrics in various hues of brown, sometimes accented with whites and reds. Under the robes is a patchwork of scars gained before, after, but mostly during The Divines War. His eyes are a stormy grey blue, clear and sharp.
Magic:
Fire: 20
Lightning:6
Mana: 12
Mental:14
Natural: 18
Technique:
Pyromastery: Arthur’s primary response to conflict is to incinerate anything and everything in the way. While it is not by any means a creative use of fire magic, Arthur finds it plenty effective. His flames have roasted lesser gods, and the intensity of his flame at its brightest has been likened to dragonflame. However Arthur’s flame is not infallible. The act of producing the flames is quite exhausting, and though it used to be less of a problem, Arthur has grown old. On top of that lies the fact that Arthur’s flames only reach their greatest intensity when he himself is equally riled up; again Arthur’s age has made his brand of pyromancy harder for him, as he has mellowed a fair bit since the war. And also, unless Arthur is infusing his fire with mana, which makes things doubly exhausting for him, his fires are little more than mundane, if incredibly hot, fire. Though when Arthur does tap into his skill with mana magic and infuses his fire with the essence of magic it burns much hotter, and those immune to normal flames find themselves quickly alight with arcane fire.
Mental Fortress: Arthur has made great efforts to learn mental magic. Not to look into or touch upon the minds of others, for to do so would be most unjust and unhonorable. Instead Arthur has worked to make sure that others can not do the same to him. Arthur’s mind has become akin to a trapped fortress, filled with repeating loops of images, blank white spaces, and mental landmines to throw off and disable those who try to reach into the old warrior’s mind.
Phoenix Fire: If there is any reason that Arthur survived the Divines War, it would be his skill at self healing. Using his skill with natural magic, as well as a little bit of lightning and fire, Arthur heals himself at a rapid pace. However the process is quite painful and isn’t actually all that good at dealing with the problem so much so as putting it off. As well, the fire and energy arcing across his wounds leaves awful scars, though one could argue the fire dancing across his body as he heals does look somewhat cool. Unfortunately this technique is not one that can be used on others.
Skills:
Spear Arts: As well as his magic Arthur is well versed in fighting with polearms of all sorts, though he favors simple spears that stand a head taller than him. His fighting method is one of baiting and harrying, feinting and thrusting until his foe presents an opening. All the while Arthur is making conversation with his foe, trying to throw his rival off guard, finding a way to end the duel peacefully, or just genuinely interesting in a conversation during intense combat.
Dragonslayer: Arthur has a deep knowledge of dragons, true and otherwise. In part because of his slaying on one, and his raising of one, as well as laborious study on the subject. Arthur is deeply familiar with the workings of dragons, and would make a fine instructor on the subject if need be. As it is, he has many secrets to share on the topic of dragons.
Bio: Arthur Wick was born in the North Western United States, to a small family. His young life was unremarkable until one particularly cold day his family home burst into flames. Fleeing into the nearby woods it was there that Arthur met the one that would raise him from that point on, an exiled angel who was living a simple life in the wilds. Arthur would live the next few years under his new mentor’s tutelage, learning the ways of magic, combat, and the world in general. One day however Arthur returned from hunting to find his mentor gone, and in his place a note, a passport and the funds required to reach the United Kingdom.
Arthur made his way to one of the grand magical academies, as per his mentor’s written instruction. Arthur would then be spending several years on a small island in the English Channel, attending one of the finest academies in the world at his mentor’s expense. At the academy Arthur gained many friends for his cheerful personality, and after graduating Arthur, along with several friends, formed a sort of adventuring group, going out to perform missions for the Magical Authority as well as side jobs for anyone who could pay. That was however, until they bit off more than they could chew.
There were reports of a monster who had made an entire mountain its home. The reports were vague because any who ventured into the caves didn’t return, and wards were in place to ward against scrying. The band of would be heroes however had no fear, they were all powerful mages in their own rights, graduates of one of the best schools in the world. What they were not ready for was the might of a true dragon, an ancient beast of immense power. Arthur was the only survivor, if only barely. His friends all slaughtered, but himself now immensely wealthy he did all he could to forget himself and what had happened.
Arthur was living a life of abandon. However it changed one evening, when one of the treasures he had stolen from the dragon’s hoard began to hatch. Now Arthur had a dragon whelp, and knew that if he was to raise it that he would need to shape up and get a hold on his life. It was then that Arthur applied to a host of magic academies, banking on his reputation as a dragonslayer to get him in. After some work Arthur managed to become an instructor at a fine magical academy high in the mountains of France, and there he spent a handful of years teaching, rearing his new child/pet/dragon, and simply earning an honest life. That was however, until The War.
Of course Arthur was just as off guard as everyone, one moment he was teaching class and next a horde of angry monsters was storming through the halls slaughtering all before them, the shock troops of some god or another. After rescuing his class Arthur, now without a job as the academy burned to cinders behind him, moved on to secure peace however he could. Fighting with conviction, in the name of peace, justice, and order Arthur was on the forefront of many major battles, often riding into the fray upon his dragon ward.
When at last the war was over Arthur began moves to ensure the peace would last. He was one part heroic adventurer, one part shrewd diplomat, and another part harsh lawbringer. An advent speaker for the rights of all and an advocate of unity between the magical and mundane. When the dust had finally began to settle Arthur put into motion plans to build a magic academy, one to replace those destroyed during The War. Personally choosing the location and overseeing construction Arthur assembled a cast of instructors and other faculty from all races and all walks of life, and vowed to allow students of all races and walks of life as well.
It has been fifty years, and in that time Arthur has carefully watched over his academy as headmaster without fail, and while he has gotten old he shall continue to watch, and guide the growth of the future generations for so long as he can.

@neogreggory

You, Mr. Myself, are formally accepted. The Co-GMs decided that you are worthy, and now the numbers, backstory and physical description is set in stone. Now myself, I advise you get to work on some form of post with your character, but I know you'll be lazy and wait a day or two, which is fine because plenty of absolutely beautiful posts are going up left right and center and they are all a joy to read.

So... Good work everyone, yeah. Anyways... I suppose I'll go do something or something, you fine folk keep at it I suppose?

Also, I've created a 0th post for helpful information, which you should have seen on the way here, but anyways.
