"Lalisa Greenwood. I hope to get to know many of the students here." She shakes Ashley's hand, looking the girl over. She looks very strong and sure of herself, and Lalisa has to wonder what she meant by "a revolution". Is it rude to ask? Oh, how she wishes Grandmama was here! But there's nothing to help that, she must learn to fend for herself...

"How did you hear of the Academy?" Asks Lalisa curiously. "My grandmother is friends with a teacher here, and she wants me to learn how to be "self-sufficient". There are so many people here! I didn't know the Academy was such a popular choice..."
interested... count me in.
@SinfulSkills neko x human?? anything sort of casual, slow, cuteness and fluff always... can go for anything fantasy as well.
@QueenNugget

Lalisa almost couldn't believe her eyes. Just that morning, she had been at the train station, saying her goodbyes to her dear grandmother and lugging her suitcase to her appointed seat. And now! Now she was at the Academy, and she was going to stay here for... how long? Did Grandmama remember her brochure like she asked? Lalisa fumbles for her messenger bag, but quickly remembers she's in the middle of orientation and those things can wait.

It's bigger than the photos, she thinks. It's like she's been transported to inside a fairytale, a princess's castle... Sit up straight! You mustn't slouch, or Grandmama will be angry with you.

Ah, that girl... she's talking. To her? Lalisa, so far off into her thoughts, almost didn't notice. She catches the last part--"not some putrid guy, am I right?" What? Who's putrid? The Headmaster is a woman, not a man... Ah, you mustn't mess it up! Calm, Lalisa.

"Miss Headmaster is a very talented and powerful woman, isn't she?" She says carefully. It's true, Grandmama has always told her that...
@Metamore once we have enough people online/replying, then i'll pick.


The Academy, Orientation Day.

On a bright, crisp autumn day, the academy's doors are officially open, and the hundreds of students attending are arriving from every corner of the world.

The Academy itself is built of strong, sturdy stone, giving it the appearance of a gothic church or old medieval castle. Some say it was, before our dear Headmistress took charge. The stained glass windows sitting high on their towers, runic inscriptions, and heavy wooden doors all lend the feeling that the Academy does not exist in the present, but rather in the past. Its location, on top of a large mountain, looks over forests, seas, beaches, and valleys, but students who attend attest to the feeling of isolation, of being cut off. The array of different environments, however, may comfort some. The Academy grounds are vast, but the lack of magical protection (aside from old charms and runes) makes it a likely target for Spirits. But in that lies the Academy's greatest strength.

Miss Headmaster Elysion clears her throat.

"I hope you all are sufficiently seated..." Her voice rings throughout the expansive hall. She checks her watch. "It is half-past eight. The doors, please."

The doors close with a resounding bang. The students, sitting at long, wooden tables rather than the normal auditorium seats, wait impatiently...

"Welcome to the Academy, young ones. To attend is a great privilege. For that, I commend you.

All of you--no matter where you came from, no matter what you were before now, all of you are here for one purpose: to fight. To grow. To learn. It is our duty as teachers to help you along this quest of self-improvement, and your duty as students to give your all, whatever the situation. Please, believe us when we say we only want the very best for all of you.

Of course, this process is not easy. There will be hardships. There will be pain. But, young ones, this is your biggest task--to overcome yourselves.

And that is task we present to you."

(@Metamore@Canidae@ReveTheDreamer@Joker892@QueenNugget@AGenericUser@sassy1085. Take it at your own pace. Some of you don't have sheets in the character tab yet, please post them so nobody has to dig for info. There is still time to apply, if you wish to.)
@AGenericUser that looks a-ok. drop it into the character tab once it's all finished!

thanks~
@AGenericUser (remember to mention hun)

okay, that sounds good. there are, of course, families who just deny it, but due to the large amount of races/magic/etc, it's hard to ignore, but if they were living in a more urban, human part of the world it might be so. you'd have to really explain how it came unnoticed all that time, though.
@AGenericUser I really really love what you've done with this! He seems pretty balanced and I find myself relating to him (I'm a fanfiction writer on the side). i'm a little worried by the amount of real-life you've put in here, though, because the world is quite fantasy-like in its entirety--i'm not sure where Fenine would have to grow up to have such small knowledge of fantasy-ish elements and calling his world "boring". I never specified it, but still. I guess I did put modern...

what I'm saying is, this is a fantasy setting in pretty modern times. urban fantasy? idk.
