St. Fortuna's Academy for the Higher Arts

@Invader Len13org's question reminds me that another question that I asked before never got answered, though it wasn't directed at you and probably should've had some mentions attached to it to make it more visible. Anyway, I was wondering if there were any adventuring-focused electives that could be joined, such as one that focuses on Monster Hunting?

@DiscontentDepends on how his pompousity is manifest, but Korrey would probably still hang out with and talk to him. It takes a lot to even urk Korrey, unless you try and mess with or hurt his friends in which case, you'll see that just because he's a giant teddy bear doesn't mean he's lacking in teeth,claws, or ferocity. He subscribes to the belief that no one is an ass for no reason and is always willimng to hear people out for their side of the story before making any over all judgements.

@onenoteThat would be great, since Korrey's always trying to make new friends. He'd also tell Ruby not to worry about hitting him, as he would both deserve it and make a sort of game of trying to avoid it.

@MechonRaptorMessed up the mention, look at the post above.

@onenoteRuby would probably be subject to much excited chattering and what-not as Korrey asks her all about what guild life is like, as well as who’s who and all the latest gossip and info surrounding guild stuff. Adventuring is by and large Korrey’s passion, so he’d keep an ear very low to the ground when it comes to any possible info, not to mention his patron said that one of the best ways to get into a guild is to befriend people who have connections to it already.

I feel the two of them would get along pretty well, if Ruby could stand Korrey’s inability to understand two basic concepts:Personal Spaces and not surprising people. For a man as tall as Korrey is, he’s surprisingly adept at hiding his presence until his victim walks into view for a good scaring.

@SunsetRosesI also feel like this would be a neat duo. He would respect her strength of will and such, but again, might get a tad annoying at first due to his lack of understanding of how close to someone is generally considered too close. Especially since he’s usually towering over most people with his 6’6 frame.

[@MechronRaptor]Korrey, having spent a lot of his early life in the business of others for their own protection, would most definitely be the type to try and get Nathan to be more out-going, as well as sharing in his thirst for knowledge since Korrey is always fascinated by everything he sees around, having been a homeless street rat only 4 years prior.

I also feel like Korrey would have both the most fun and the hardest time in the Ability training class, since his ability control is shite and because he’s the type to be all about nonsense, and thus, will probably be on Mr. Nesser’s shit list, just a little bit.

Also, I was wondering if their could be an elective class for monster identification and fighting? Kinda like how the Witchers of the witcher series go about the process by taking a look at everything they see and hear and coming to a conclusion on what the creature is based on that, then the steps of how to combat certain types of monsters so that each student has the best chance of survival

So, does anybody want to have interactions with Korrey from the previous year, whether they be good or bad?

Also, holy hell did this RP balloon like nobodies business. Are all SoL rp’s like this?

Korrigan 'Korrey' Umbraisis

Name: Korrigan 'Korrey' Umbraisis
Image or Description:
Korrey towers over most people at a rather annoying height of 6’6, having exploded into this height after finally getting regular meals and a well-balanced diet. His body figure is lean, but with some musculature as he has spent a good deal of his life working out in some shape or form, though it’s only in the last 4 years that he’s gotten proper direction. He bares a few scars on his body from both training and sports accidents, though the damage sustained was nothing that couldn’t be fixed with good, old-fashioned rest and some slightly generous applications of healing magic. When allowed to dress in his own style, he tends to go for loose fitting tees, jackets, sneakers, and jeans as well as finger-less gloves so that he can give his hands some measure of protection without losing out on his ability to grip things(plus he thinks they look cool). He also wears sunglasses nearly all the time during the day, as the awakening of his ability has made life a complete and utter pain due to his newfound sensitivity to light. Of course doing so, while hiding his weird colored eyes, has the adverse effect of making him like a bit of an asshole if people don’t know about his condition.
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Orientation: Straight
Mage or Familiar: Familiar
Ability: Night-Vision
Partner: (Leave this blank until your partner is announced)
Personality: Generally described as ‘upbeat’, ‘happy’, and ‘only scary on the outside’, Korrey is a happy-go-lucky guy who is always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt, even when it may go against his better judgement. Not only that, but Korrey can also be described as a bit of an adrenaline junkie, always on the look-out for the next new and exciting stunt or event to catch his eye.
Biography: Korrey came from a little less than nothing, a street urchin from Erridún struggling to make ends meet, while also doing his pest to not get dragged into picking-pockets for the local crime bosses of his district, though that led to many a day with little in his gut but bile, stomach acid, and hopelessness. Still, dire as his circumstances were, he never let it get to him. He always tried to keep his mind focused on the positives, convinces that his luck would change any day. And one day, they did just that, as he did managed to get into a nice boarding school after stopping some old man from getting attacked in the street from some thugs by making it seem like the police were on there way, then helping the old man get back on his feet.

That old man, he’d later find out, was the grandfather of one of the bigger crime family heads, who soon took Korrey in after hearing about his good deed. Being 12 years old at the time, Korrey fortunes took a swift turn as his patron quickly sought to cleaning him up and giving him an education in exchange for saving his duly respected grandfather. It was during these four years that it’d be made clear that Korrey was quite the talented student, quick on the upkeep whether it be his studies or sports. The only place where he seemed to struggle was using his abilities. Even for a Familiar without a Mage, his displays of power were considerably pitiful. Still, with years of catching up to do, he showed a strange, single minded-determination to succeed, wanting to prove his patron proud, even if he didn’t approve of their less-than-legal business ventures. No matter how well hidden his patron tried to keep their criminal activties from the boy, he was able to soon pick out the pieces and fit them into a proper picture. However, he never let on to it, nor informed the police or Adventure guilds of his knowledge. A good citizen is what Korrey always strived to be, but what kind of man would he be if he turned in the man who had given him some many opportunities, as well as a huge family to call his own.

Throw both his work ethic, determination, and skill, and his patron’s wide wealth of resources and favors, Korrey managed to make it into St. Fortuna, though to say his first year was a bit of a challenge would be an understatement. Not only were the courses extremely difficult, but the culture shock hit him like a bus, with many of the other kids being somewhat put off by his tendency to curse, make the occasional offensive joke, and over-all casual nature for which he seemed to treat everything. As such, he barely managed to pass through his first year, but instead of discouraging him, he simply let it all roll of his back, determined to make this next go around a hell of a lot better.
Likes: Sword-fighting, Sparring, Martial Arts, Scaring/surprising people, Reading, hanging out in the shade, Sky-diving, Snow-boarding, Adventuring(wants to be part of an adventuring guild more than anything else)
Dislikes:Bullies, Moths, bugs, getting wet, People who judge others without trying to get to know them, Sitting still for long stretches of time, His foster family’s side business
Points: 16 in total, 16 spent.
Proficiency:1
Intelligence:7
Athletics:8
Misc.:

• His appearances is tied to his ability and he’s kinda touchy about it.
• Doesn’t curse a heck of a lot, but probably more than most due to how he was raised
• Is a bit of a romantic
• Is also kind of shy around girls
• Allergic to pollen, causes his powers to flare up
• Likes to keep a fake-sword on his person when on his free time off-school grounds(and when on the grounds if allowed) so that he can spontaneously burst into sparring
• Has a pet snake named Festus and a pet bearded lizard named Vulcan
• The connections between his patron and organized crime aren’t widely known at the moment, though some due speculate. It’s currently believe that the head of the family is just your average wealthy businessman, with their business being medical research on the creation of new drugs to help cure diseases or ease pain.
• Also, unless you would want it too, the crime side of his family would never factor into the RP at all except for him having a bit of anxiety over the connection being found out and the possibility of him accidentally spilling this rather huge secret to someone, which would definitely ruin his chances at staying at the school, I’d think.

Quiz Answers:

Familiar Quiz

1. What is your character's greatest regret?
“Uh. . . dunno, never really think about stuff like that. I mean, if you spend time thinkin’ on what you should’ve done in the past, that takes time away from thinking about what you’re gonna do in the present. I mean, if that’s how you want to spend your time on earth, you do you. Me? I’ve got a half-pipe with my name on it in 5 minutes.”
2. Your character is home alone after watching a horror movie and they hear a strange sound. What do they do?
*picks up Festus, then picks up a bat* “If any burgler or monster things he’s getting the drop on me, he’s got another thing comin’, right Festus?” *Hisss* “That’s my boy, now let’s get this chump and show them what’s what!”
3. Two of your characters’ friends are fighting over something trivial, and they want them to stop. How do they go about this?
“Oi, Oi, OI!!! Ya fuckin’ knuckle heads, why don’t ya cut it out, ya? You’re really going to waste time arguing about this now? We’ve got class in five, and more importantly, it’s not that big of a deal. Life is too short to get worked up on little things like this, so let’s suck it up and go already. I ain’t going to get yelled at because you two fuckers don’t know how to settle things like civilized people.”
4. While your character is on their way to class, they realize they forgot something crucial. They’re already on the verge of running late. What do they do? *takes deep breath* “Let’s do this!” *Turns around and books it back to the dorm as fast as they can*

5. If your character had the opportunity to turn into any animal, what would that animal be?
“Damn, that’s a real, fuckin’ head-scratcher, that is. Uh. . . I think I’d want to be something fierce, yet regal, nay, noble. A beast that surveys everthing with a fine air of badassery, yet can let loose at any moment. . . like a Dragon! Or a Tiger! No, wait. . . tiger-dragon. Yep, going to be a tiger-dragon. . . That’s not a thing, you say? Well, you never specified it had to be a real animal so . . . still counts.”
6. If your character’s house were on fire, and they only had time to save one thing from their room, what would it be? “Festus and Vulcan. Fuck everything else, I’m saving my babies!! Like hell I’m only choosing one of them, I don’t care if I come out looking like a fuckin’ roast ham, I ain’t leaving either of my lil’ buddies to cook if I can help it.”

7. What season does your character like best and why? “Summer, cause it’s the best time to do anything, plus there’s no school, which means more time to myself or to hang out with my friends.”

8. Vacation! You character gets to spend a week anywhere! Where is it and what do they do? “Why just choose anyone place when I can go world trotting. I’d probably try to go all over Pyrin, or at least as much of it as I realistically could, try and take in the sights, feel the breeze, etc.etc. Like, really, why limit yourself?”

Password: “Meat. Give me some big, juicy, delicious slices of any kind of meat, and I’m as happy as can be.”

@onenoteSomething exciting, mostly, so probably fighting monsters and whatnot, with treasure hunting on the side as well.

@Invader LenYe, that’s exactly what’s happening to me. One of my friend tells me it’s a stability issue or something with the guild.

St. Fortuna's Academy for the Higher Arts

@General ScalesIt’s more like when I’m trying to type out a post, it suddenly just stops typing, as if I clicked outside the textbox. And I alo usually go to down to the bottom of the page since I don’t realize the issue till I hit the spacebar. . . or delete, which is like pressing the back button in your browser.

St. Fortuna's Academy for the Higher Arts

@Invader LenI’m not unhappy with it, but if you could give an alternative recommendation, then that’d be cool. Whatever way you choose to go, I’d be fine with. Him being able to shift color and what not does fit with his touchiness over his appearance in a way I didn’t consider before(it being a sign of his less than stellar control over his abilities).

Also, re-read my previous message to get the reason why I can’t make the edits right now.

And thanks for the info on the guilds, definitely helpful.
