@Prodigal Son you uh.. Never mentioned if my cs was goin in the right direction or not. Lookin' for some guidance. Thanks chief


Yeah, sorry about that. I have been on a Greyhound bus for close to 11 hours now. All I have at my disposal is my iphone, and I didn't see your post. It looks like you put the correct amount of effort into it. But remember that your character needs to be compatible with a team whose goal is to protect the world. So, as long as Felix can actually recruit him naturally, you'll be good.
Felix noticed the man was very much so noticeably flustered. It had gotten so bad for him that he attempted to introduce his name which was already known to Felix, which caused Felix to smile a bit.

"Hmm... how do I phrase this without sounding utterly insane? I suppose the others had it cross their mind I was a looney, so how do I go about this...?" Felix pondered out loud. He placed his hand up to his chin and tilted his gaze down to the floor, squinting. Then he snapped his fingers. This might actually be easier with him, he is a scholar, and specializes in learning about ancient magic and applying it today. It's probably more likely than not that he knows about the Paragons.

"I'll answer your question with a question, Travis. What do you know about the Paragons?" Felix asked, his gaze now fixed on Travis, with a hint of conviction behind it.

@Prodigal Son Question; do most of the factions and societies here have any honorifics? Aside from the titles and ranks that are listed, I am mainly curious, especially in Felix's case as an example, how he would be addressed out of respect from anyone of lesser or equal stature? Father and pastor quickly came to mind but I very much doubt those would even add up to Felix's position and calling him Arch-Magi and then first or last name following afterwards kinda sounds weird to me.

This is is mostly out of an idea I had originally for my latest post and was unsure how to go about it.


I hadn't thought of that. None come to mind, save just Arch-Mage Felix. If you would like, you could pitch me some of your ideas and we can add them retroactively.
The first thing Felix noticed about this individual was that he only had one mana-well, his latent mana-well. And the depth of it was not much larger than a normal human's mana-well. However, it was in fact larger. The largeness, coupled with the fact that this man had a colored aura, something that normal humans did not have, meant that he was an Untalent studying magic. The smell of the chemicals in the air could have only been produced by a medium sized explosion of some sort. Examining the soot, and the smell of the chemicals, as well as the very small and quickly fading mana-wave signature of a spell having been cast, he concluded it was a fire based spell. The small mana-wave signature didn't make much sense, with the amount of force that was produced here. Felix couldn't quite understand how it was that this force could have been produced so efficiently. Then Felix glanced the charm in the man's hand, if Felix was correct, it was a short-term amnesia charm. Although it had been a long time, Felix doubted the amnesia charm would have worked on him. During training at the basilica, every apprentice has to undergo resistance training, as every apprentice is training to eventually become a magi. Some of the things they trained against were memory altering magics and the like. Though it had been about twenty years since then, Felix assumed he wouldn't have been affected by it. But with the charm coupled with the efficient fire spell, Felix had put the pieces together and assumed this man was a scholar from Societas Academia. One of the only schools that actively accepts Untalents and trains them if they are willing.

Felix whistled a note of amazement, "You seemed to not only have succeeded as an Untalent, but your yellow aura showing the desire for knowledge and utmost curiosity, I can see that you are actually a genius. Making runic formulae that are up to twenty times more efficient than a normal spell of the same caliber. I am actually quite impressed. Not everyone has such a great understanding of mana manipulation." Felix mused, "There's no doubt about it, you must be Travis McGrath. My apologies for not introducing myself earlier, my name is Felix Glasius."
@Prodigal Son Sorry for the hold up. I've provided the location for you to work with. I'm still editing of course to add in some extra details.


Since in your character sheet you did not offer much in the way of aesthetic explanation. I winged it and said your character had, "dark hair." If he doesn't, that could just be the effect of the soot from the explosion.
Felix created a crucifix glyph opening a spacial rift to the cabin.

Listening to Yuno's request, Felix couldn't help but smile.

"I would be honored to teach you. I make it look easy, but spacial magic requires a large constitution and a great understanding of mana manipulation. It takes most people years to even get to the point where they can port a mile, let alone thousands. But, who knows? You might be a natural at it. I'll see you and your teammates Nemo, and Deston here in a bit. Hopefully with more recruits." Felix sighed as the rift closed, and looked back at the parchment he had retrieved from Yuno before she left.

The next name on the list was Travis McGrath. The location stated, "Abandoned Warehouse-Outside Villa Nueva, Guatemala."

Felix had never been to Guatemala, let alone Villa Nueva. So Felix lifted his robe's sleeve revealing his manadial. The manadial was a black metal-link band, with a silver stripe inlayed around the circumference and a circular almost sphere-like mana-crystal in the center. Felix tapped the mana-crystal which pulled up a blue 3D hologram menu hovering around a blue orb suspended five inches from the mana-crystal. The manadial's menu contained several applications. One of the applications was managlobe. Managlobe offered a in depth look at the globe and all of its topographies. The managlobe was updated with a scan once a year. There were many place that put up wards against the scan that did not show up on the managlobe, but for everyday use, and for someone like Felix, it was very useful. Felix tapped on the globe icon, on the menu, which turned the blue floating menu orb into a hologram of the earth. Felix spoke to the floating globe, saying, "show me Vila Nueva, Guatemala." Immediately the globe grew larger and spun southwards from his location reaching past Mexico and then onto Guatemala, and then zooming into Villa Nueva.

Felix then took his index finger and dragged it around the outskirts of the city until he found what looked like a warehouse. Hoping that this was the correct location, Felix dropped his sleeve, covering the manadial, and closed his eyes. Once he closed his eyes, he held the location in his mind and made an impression of it in relation to his current location, and the earth as a whole. Once he made the impression, he used it as an anchor and tore open a rift with his usual glyph. Once the rift was open he stepped through.

It still being nighttime in the western hemisphere, Felix couldn't make out the exact scenery. But he knew the place was lush with vegetation, and the air was clean. Felix had definitely jumped to the area he meant to, because in front of him was a large old ware-house made from sheet-metal on a wooden frame.

As Felix approached the warehouse, he noticed the door was open, and as he got closer he could smell the distinct smoke mixed with ozone smell that only a mana-induced explosion could produce. Eventually Felix stepped through the door, to find a confused looking man with long dark hair and a soot covered face picking himself up off the floor.

Felix walked over to him and offered him a hand.

"What happened here?" Felix asked the man who was on the floor.

Yeah, you're the next one on the list so Felix will be visiting you next and I will post tonight.
@ShiningSector I know that your character is in a warehouse, but I am not quite sure where that warehouse is. So where is your character exactly?
Feeling that Deston had stepped through the portal. Felix released his grasp on the mana keeping the two-way portal open.

Felix felt a pang of anxiety as he realized he was in such a rush to get out his testimony, that he plumb forgot his introduction. Flustered, Felix cleared his throat and said, "Ah yes, my apologies. I seemed to have rushed through my monologue, completely skipping my introduction. My name is Felix Glasius. My students call me Mr. Glasius, but you can call me Felix."

Felix scratched his head thinking of the next step.

"Well, since you haven't completely agreed to joining, that leaves me in a unique predicament. Normally, I would just port you to my cabin headquarters, and let you meet your teammates and choose out a room in the mansion for yourself. But... I suppose I will give you a choice. You can either join me in recruiting the next member, or I can send you to our headquarters. Your choice."
No rush, I have to go one by one with Felix encounters. So you have lots of time
