well, I guess you can contact me about character concepts, if you want, Dead. But yea, it's safe to assume that the other GMs wont let your vampire hit the IC ever.

Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

Tyrant, please elaborate on the different explosive marbles please. Brod, your biography doesn't really make much sense contextually. This is an RP set in one of the most prestigious schools for gatekeepers, yet your character is going there to run from gangsters? Also, a living sword? Isn't he from earth? could you make more sense of this, please. Dead Cruiser, your character seems overpowered for a first year, though we don't really think that nerfing him will fix the problem, given that he is a vampire. Your vampires seem like a completely antagonistic race, which means that everyone else would want them dead. Not really logical. Also, because I just finished writing some back story, that I won't reveal for reasons that include plot twists, I will mention the limits of earth magic, which have now been set up. The limits of Earth magic are incestuous humans with a bit of chant-based stuff, and a few magical creatures and small magic artifacts. While I'm at it, your free to have a human that moved to Lucis, or a Lucian that moved to Earth. Oh yea, Alice, Mia is accepted. Fox, a novice caster would probably be able to create small embers, and create fist-sized fires with a good amount of concentration. Lighting things on fire, throwing larger flames, spontaneous combustion, Etc. are probably all things a novice wouldn't be able to do. AWFUL, if you want to come up with some ideas, go ahead. We could always use more ideas. I will be putting up a guideline for Character year power levels at the bottom of the OP, though, because the other GMs made it while I was asleep, it might be incomprehensible.

Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

Drew and AWFUL, go ahead and throw your CSs in the Character section. Noster, sorry, that was a question from another GM, but I guess they meant something like "How much mana could the arrows leech, how fast, and other stuff." I don't really know why they asked, though. You are also accepted, anyway. Yay, accepting people, woo!

How much of this void power Raule could use, say, the maximum extent of his void power.

Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

ok, stuff time. Noster, what is your system for the leech arrows? Also, your character's bio states that his father was a gatekeeper that disappeared when Sylus was much younger. Maybe I'm just arguing with wording here, but if your character is a 200 year old Elf, and the Black Gale has only been around for 20 years, the Gatekeepers only being around for around 14 or so years, so how young would Sylus have been? AWFUL, your character sheet is good except for one point. With his abilities, we would prefer you had some sort of clause that prevented him from using his abilities against other students, or something, as it is probably a good idea not to have a character who can change the physical make-up of other characters. As for your question about Lucis-Earth contact through the black gale, travel is probably not the most difficult thing, since humans have advanced aircraft for transportation, and Lucians have everything from Griffons to dragons. There would at least be 1 or 2 corporations trying to monetize black gale transportation. Though, transport between the 2 worlds probably wouldn't be the most common thing, given that cultural differences are a thing, and only 20 years have passed. Humans, as well as Lucian countries would probably have a large portion of their populations against allowing the other group from intruding on their society. Though, given that it has been 20 years by this point, some acceptance/lenience has occurred. A Lucian historian that decided to move his family to New York to learn more about human culture? Entirely possible. Drew, I am still a bit confused with the "listening to machines" thing. Wouldn't it just be more logical to state that she has a natural talent for recognizing the problems with machines by sound, instead of making it sound like some sort of psychic power?

Ok, I have realized that it is a hassle to keep looking between here and the OOC, so, to make things easier on everyone, please post your character sheets in the OOC, if they have yet to be accepted. Also, the updated character sheet is in the OOC, please use that rather than the one from here. We are currently looking over everyone's character sheets, and will try to respond to them in a timely manner, but given that a lot of us may have things occupying our time, it may take a day or two. Thank you for your patience. Zombehz, would it be possible to lower the ludicrous power of the voidkin, and tell us just about how much of the void power that a voidling like Raule has? Alice, could you tell us what health/vitals that Mia's eyes can display, and how do her eyes read their vitals? Some of the other GMs want a bit more detail. JELDare, this is a mid-casual RP, please use more detail and better explanation with your CS. Ok, I have to go for now, but I, or another GM will review the other CSs soon. Here's the link to the OOC

Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

Quick question, do we have to play a student or is being a teacher a viable role as well, been wanting to try out that role for a while after having played so many students.

@The Fox Without

Sorry, as many events will not require teachers being present, only students are playable.

Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

Ok, Here's the best image I could find. I somehow found something. Problem is it doesn't have wings and the armor looks stupid, as well as the angle being pretty bad for a character picture. So I guess I will still do a desc. along with this. Ark stands at about 6 feet tall, which is relatively average size for a draconian. His scales are a pristine white, with an *insert wingspan here*. He usually wears some sort of a cloak and light armor (probably some form of the armor in the picture, minus the weapons, things on his arms, and thing on his neck). His eye color is a dull grey, which is actually quite common in light draconians. At his side is a quiver for his arrows, which also holds some of his daggers dipped in a poison and dragon blood concoction.

Full Name Arkiyel 'ein Nickname(s) Ark, as his real name is a bit difficult to say sometimes. Gender Male Age 178. This could be equated to about 17-18 in human years. Year 4th Birthday August 1st. Though, it's less of his actual birthday, and more of the day he was passed through the Dyniel 'Yn degrys (ceremony of the sun) as an egg (the ceremony is essentially how light draconians are born, and why they have a sub-tribe) Astrological Sign Leo Species Light Draconian. Draconians are half human and half dragon. There are 8 types of Draconian, each of these draconian tribes have scales with a color that correspond to a magical element, which they can control. The most common Draconian tribes are Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lightning. On August 1st, the Draconians hold a ceremony as ancient as the Draconians themselves. During this ceremony, Draconian eggs are offered up to become that of pure light. Though, very few actually become light draconian eggs. The Draconians tend to retain their original elemental powers from their tribe. Class Slayer (mostly for Demons): A slayer is trained in the arts of close combat and swift take-downs of targets , which in this case is usually demons. The most popular slayer weapon is the dagger, which can be swiftly dipped in poisons, as well as be easy to conceal. Most Slayers are also trained to use a bow, as arrows can also be easily dipped in poisons, and are rather easy to carry. Though Slayers use dirty tactics and swift maneuvers to take down their targets, they are usually very humble, and based on their homeland, may have some sort of chivalrous code. Ark follows the Draconic Slayer code, which prevents him from killing non-threatening individuals, supports the protection of the undefended, and holds courtesy and charity highly. Though, Targets are the only exception to this codes. Usually, targets are issued by a Slayer Guild, though, some work for themselves. Ark is one of these loners. A Draconian, Like Ark, usually combines close combat fighting with short range magic to add more impact to attacks.

Weapon

Syl' Dayhlijn

Syl' Dayhlijn, or The wrath of day, is an enchanted bow made by an old friend of Ark. The enchantment on the bow prevents it from breaking easily, as well as preventing the string from wearing out or breaking. The bow is masterfully crafted, which adds to the fact that it looks cool. The Arrows that Ark uses are tipped in a combination of paralyzing poison, and enchanted dragon's blood (this is harmful to most types of Demons on Lucis)

Dyl' Garyhnn

These Daggers are specially crafted to easily slice through flesh. These are also coated in the poison and dragon blood mixture. Ark usually has 2-4 of these on his person at a time.

World Lucis

Biography Ark was an orphan. His parents died before he was born, even before the ceremony. He was originally from the fire tribe, but he was born as a light draconian. An old friend of his parents had asked if she could raise him, but, due to the fact that he was a light draconian, and not fire, the church would not let her touch him. (around this time the Draconians are extremely religious) Due to his unlucky early life, he grew up mostly on the streets, as most priests or oracles couldn't stand him. At some point he ended up training with an old slayer, who taught Ark everything he knows. His reason for going to the academy is unknown.

Personality Ark is the kind of serious character that just wants to get things done and over with. He isn't a pushover, and hates to be bossed around, though, he will try to control his temper and follow the slayer code. Partner N/A as of current

Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s) Ark has a fear of Ice, and is actually weakened by it. He doesn't like water that much, though, he kinda had to get over that. Ark hates darkness, and never sleeps in the dark because of it. He despises dark magic, evil, and especially vampires. Skills/Abilities/Traits Ark is able to enchant his weapons with fire/light magic, as well as use short range fire and light attacks. These could be anything from a small ember, to temporarily blinding someone who was right up in his face. Themesong Thinking about this.. Other Currently N/A

Here's the second character that I won't center purely out of defiance. He has a mechanical right arm. Full Name Maxwell Yinyues Nickname(s) Boss, prick, elitist prick, asshole, Max, Etc. Gender Male Age 20 Year 4 Birthday January 12 Astrological Sign Capricorn Species Human. Just a normal dude, with a cybernetic arm. Class Commander- The leader type. Leaders are generally your overly charismatic, convincing, smart guys who sit at the back and watch everyone fuck up the enemy. The Commander doesn't want to be out of the action though, so, while being strategic, he can also plow through a horde of giant bees like a fat lady trying to get the last box of twinkies on a black friday sale. More or less, the commander focuses on boosting the moral of his party, keeping them on task, and supporting with fire when needed. They tend to have huge egos, though. Weapon

Magpul-Redeye Pistol

Magpul-Redeye Rifle

World Earth Biography Maxwell was born to the Yinyues family, a family which inherited the American manufacturing company known as Magpul. How the Yinyues managed to acquire the rights to Magpul, and all of the products under its copyright, is a story for another time. The Yinyues family always had a strange fascination for guns, for some god damn reason, and teaching a young kid to use one was perfectly fine. So, of course, his parent's forced on him that which they wanted him to inherit. Maxwell wasn't good with your everyday gun. He couldn't deal with the recoil, and the use of the gun didn't flow with his movement (yes, even a 10 year old wants to be able to move fast and fluidly when firing guns). So, Maxwell was overjoyed when his parents added another weapons manufacturer into the Magpul family. This manufacturer specialized in plasma and laser based weaponry. Oh yea, you may know that Maxwell has a brother named Varren. You may also know that Varren is good with guns. Well, there was a day when Varren decided to wave a gun in front of Maxwell, but, in a tragic turn of events, Varren had forgotten to check the safety. As a result, Maxwell lost his right arm, though it was soon replaced with a mechanical one. Maxwell spent the next series of years learning the ins and outs of the Magpul[Redeye] weapons he was given. Given his competitive nature, Maxwell tested himself everyday, just because he wanted to be better than Varren. Maxwell later received a letter from the Academy of the Arcane Artes. Of course, he accepted the invitation to join the school, and became pretty well known for his tactical ability, as well as his attitude and ego. During his 3rd year he was grouped with the 1st years during their first mission. Well, let's just say he led the shit out of those first years, and plans to do the same with this year's first year class. Maxwell moved out of the Yinyues household when he was 18, and moved to Japan,where he had moved in with his girlfriend Maria, and her twin "sister". Personality Maxwell is rather intelligent, as well as a smart ass. He has an ego as large as a barn,which can be inflated or destroyed way too easily. He is naturally competitive, and hates to lose. He can be rather emotionally unstable at times, as he gets angry pretty easily, as well as getting depressed at the press of a button. Even though he has so many of these flaws, he can be a genuinely caring person, when he isn't being an asshole. He is also pretty damn charismatic. Partner [to be decided] Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s) Maxwell doesn't like Ballistic weaponry, and hates when they are aimed at him. His ego can be burst like a bubble. Anything from telling him he is wrong, to beating his ass will cause him to spiral into random depression. Maxwell always wants to be in control, and panics when he isn't. He hates being bossed around. There is also the one thing that has drawn a deep like of separation between Max and Varren. Varren loves coffee, while Maxwell can't stand the stuff. Maxwell just prefers a good cup of tea. Skills/Abilities/Traits Max is a born leader, boosting moral of his team, as well as being able to think clearly in a shitty situation. Maxwell has a computer in his arm, allowing him to access everything from a monster database, to information about his teammates. Maxwell has been previously described as a tactical genius, this is probably from years of planning his revenge against Varren, which he never got. Theme Song [To Be Decided] Other Nationality: Japanese-American. Fluently speaks both languages, father is of Western origination, and married his Japanese mother.

Well, not really, though the idea that some lucian races could believe their power comes from gods is plausable, and demons do exist as lucians. http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/76572-academy-of-the-arcane-artes-reboot/ooc
