Leaving for a 9 day Geology Field Camp. I will be offline until I get back on the 28th, but I may not get to catching up with stuff I missed until the 29th. See y'all in a few days.

Going dark for a few days. I have a major project for Paleontology due Tuesday morning, and I'm nowhere near done with it, so I'll be away until I get that done. See y'all in a few days.

Would elemental manipulation count as one power, or would each individual element (fire, water, wind, earth) count as a separate power?
@Kalleth That doesn't sound bad at all. /sarcasm
@Ennui Fixed.
Cool. Looking forward to it. Also, your av is super creepy.
Oops. @Zelosse requesting approval for my character in the above post.
How's this?
Name: Milo Stevens
Age: 14
Element: Aetherial
Appearance: Milo is small for his age, having not yet had his growth spurt. He currently measures 4'6" tall and has a lithe, slender build. His hair is fine and golden blond in color and hangs nearly to his shoulders, concealing his slightly pointed ears behind the unusually long tresses. His face is round and youthful with high cheekbones and only a few zits across the porceilain skin. His sapphire eyes are large and round, giving him an owlish, somewhat surprised appearance. His smile is nearly perpetual and often reveals two deep dimples on the sides of his face.
Personality: Milo is a ball of sunshine in all but the most extreme circumstances. He's not one to crack jokes, but he will find a bright side to most situations. His positive attitude makes friends easily and encourages his teammates. He is an extrovert, but only barely. He likes spending time with his friends and/or teammates, but also values his "me time" and personal space.
History: Milo was born in a small elementalist community far from the academy, but he had heard about the academy from his parents practically since the day he was born. Milo was born to a long line of elementalists of all elements, including darkness (though they often did their best to conceal their true powers due to the stigma attached to manipulating shadows), but Milo was the first to be gifted with the power of the Aetherial, being able to control all the elements. His powers first manifested on his tenth birthday when he not only blew out the ten candles on his birthday cake, but blew them over. A week later, it was clear that Milo was not merely a wind elementalist when he was stuck out in the rain waiting for his mom to pick him up after school and he never got the slightest bit wet. As the weeks went by, Milo slowly but surely displayed other talents with the other elements: he cut his finger by accident and it healed within minutes, the power went out one night and he glowed like a lantern for a moment, he even caused a lightning bolt drop out of a cloudless sky and strike the ground a foot from where he stood. With Milo being able to control so many elements, it was clear that his power was in the Aetherial, and his parents couldn't have been prouder.
Milo had a fairly ordinary childhood. He went to an ordinary school and took ordinary classes. When he was 6 he started taking gymnastics. With his small, light build, he was good at vaulting and tumbling, but he lacked the arm and shoulder strength for bars, rings or pommel horse, but this suited him fine since he was more interested in the vault and floor exercises anyway. To keep him limber and flexible, Milo's coach recommended Milo practice yoga and/or Tai Chi, which Milo did and continues to do to this day. He also continued with gymnastics throughout middle school and even competed regionally on his middle school's gymnastics team.
When Milo was 12 years old, he talked his parents into letting him take fencing lessons and he has begun to learn how to use a foil. He also picked up the habit of writing short stories and poems and has a fondness for writing by hand with a quill.
Equipment: Milo brought his blue yoga mat, a wooden Tai Chi sword, a foil, a few quills, a bottle of ink, and a small knife for keeping his quills properly sharpened.

Seth followed the others as they ran down the hall and out to freedom. Unfortunately, Seth had never had exceptional endurance and was already starting to breathe heavily as he exited into the burning sun outside. He took a moment to lean against the wall of the building just to the side of the door he had just exited through so he could catch his breath and take stock of their surroundings. He was glad of the thick greenery around them for the cover it provided for him and his fellow escapees, but he was also fully aware that there could be other dangers lurking unseen among the scrubland. This fear was soon confirmed as he saw the brunette run into a guard who had just come up from a blind to attack her. Thankfully, she dispatched him and began relieving him of his possessions. This convinced Seth that the time for leaning against walls and catching one's breath was not now, and he jogged forward to meet up with the brunette and the other boy, keeping a watch for any other guards that may be watching them.
@Strange Rodent Um, wouldn't you have been the one to catch up with the brunette and not the other way around, seeing as she left before you (assuming you're referring to Laura since she's the only brunette currently playing)?
@Arya10108909 I'm not sure yet. I'm just now joining this so I'm not fully clear on how it all works yet, and I'm still developing my character. I'll try to look through some of the IC later and get more of a feel for how people do this stuff and see if I can get any ideas for how Milo might do it.
