Current Attn teeny boppers: You realize adbots aren't ppl, yes? They randomly generate login info, then execute pre-programmed posts. Your rage-spam goes unheard by the machine. And is equally annoying.

If you're going by UK conventions of knighthood/nobility, yes. It also would be pronounced like the "dam" in "madame," rather than like a Dick Tracy "daym."

You need to add Chewing Bubblegum XD
So I've read the summary, but has a real "plot" started to come together yet? Seems like there may be something regarding a book written by Lucy?
East Forest Rutger Artz VS Forest Vulcan (Gorian)
"Me no mind if me do!" The creature reached for him with grasping claws... "Stop, now!" the young man suddenly yelled, though his voice still wavered. The Gorian only paused out of amusement. "I am a Mage, but the magic I wield is very dangerous. If we fight, this forest could be in danger. Please leave me alone." "Ook! You think you stronger than me!?" the Vulcan snarled, slapping the ground with its massive palms. "That's not what I--" "Me show you!" The Gorian brought one massive fist around, slamming it into the ground between them. The impact sent up a cloud of dust and rubble, and the traveler shielded his face with his arms. Before the cloud had cleared, another punch came flying through, striking the youth and sending him flying. He cried out in pain as he slammed hard into a tree and slid down, falling in a heap at its roots. The Gorian roared and charged towards him, loping forward on its knuckles and skinny legs. The self-proclaimed mage managed to rise to his feet and dive to the side, letting the Forest Vulcan ram headfirst into the tree. The hard wood cracked and splintered, leaning to one side with a drawn out groan. "Please. I don't want to fight." His voice cracked, and the corners of his mouth pulled down sharply as if he were about to cry. "Too bad!" With a roar the beast charged him again, this time bringing both hands around in an attempt to crush him flat between its palms. The traveler turned and ran, the hem of his cloak barely slipping away just before the creature clapped. He hopped up and grabbed onto a low hanging vine, using the momentum to quickly haul himself up hand over hand. Climbing had been an all too common activity in the mountains, and though trees were certainly different than walls of sheer rock and ice, the basic concept was the same. The traveler scaled the trunk with ease. The Gorian actually seemed impressed. "Ook! You good climber! But not good as me!" It began to follow him up the tree, and the mage continued to flee. Soon they had both reached the peak of the tallest branches, and the young man stood unsteadily atop the forest canopy. The Gorian emerged from the leaves a moment later, sneering confidently before it lunged at him. Its legs, though small, held plenty of power and propelled it high into the air before it fell down at its prey, ready to tear him to pieces... "Hopefully up here I won't hit anything else..." The mage looked up at the monster above him, and beyond the Gorian, the clear blue sky. He opened his mouth and sucked in a deep breath. He felt the power building in his gut, his diaphragm expanding. The Gorian raised an eyebrow as something black and purple and red began to shine from the depths of the human's throat. "Flame God's Bellow!" The Gorian's eyes bugged out of its head as flames, red the color of blood at their core before turning purple and finally black at the edges, spilled forth. The human roared at it in a furious voice so different from his earlier speech; the sound itself was terrifying, a scream filled with not only rage, but a strain as if it had been held back for far too long. The flames erupted with monumental force, expanding in a wide blast that raced towards the Vulcan. It windmilled its arms desparately in a vain attempt to get away, but the dark column hit it dead on. The blast carried the beast over the tree tops, its fur blackened and smoking almost comically. Its eyes were wide and blank as it lost consciousness, and fell in a tumble towards the earth. A fluttering leaf that had been caught in its fur floated gently out of the sky to land in the traveler's hand, unharmed by the flame. So too, was the rest of the forest. "Thank...goodness..." the young man huffed. He felt the magic still churning in the pit of his gut, but forced it down like bile. He had used more power than he'd meant to, and after only one real attack he felt like he'd run a mile. If he made one single slip, one mistake, using just a bit too much power...He shook his head with a grimace. He was sweating again, but dared not vent the heat the way he had last time for fear of attracting another predator. So he suffered in silence as he made his way down the tree, and continued through the tangled forest path.
From now on the Cactus-Cat will be called Thorntail. Speaking of classes I always thought that altering the loot into usable equipment would be done in a class of some kind, anyway this is John's third year at Accademmo but he has to repeat the second grade because he refused to do any special assignments. Also Numbers and I have decided that our characters most likely share at least one class namely Folklore. And finally Zero, is there some place John can get fish?
Altering loot can be done at the Magical Research Society. Their research would include applying magic to technology and other things like that, so they'll have the necessary knowhow and equipment. Characters can also learn how to alter loot themselves from the MRS if you'd like. The loot you got from the Blighted Woods should serve you especially well, considering I would think the Cactus Cat is a Nature-type summon. For fish, I'm sure the school has a private lake somewhere for water magic/aquatic monster fighting/etc training. Should I make a map of school grounds, maybe? I kinda wanted to just let it be free-form but I could whip up something relatively easily.
I wasn't necessarily saying we need to write about the entire day, just that since I'm planning on doing some sort of 'thing' during class time it would be nice to establish who's who when it comes to the class period. As far as Hazel goes she's a Sophomore, and is likely in advanced classes.
Yeah that's fine with me, sorry I didn't mean to imply it was a bad idea or anything.
East Forest Rutger Artz
Leaves and twigs crunched underfoot as the traveler made his way at a steady yet swift pace. Under the hood of his dark brown traveling cloak, a drop of sweat made its way down his cheek to the tip of his chin, hanging there in quivering anticipation. He felt much the same, coming so close to his goal. He could see the light of open space up ahead through the weaving of tree and brush and vine. The drop of perspiration fell and another took its place, but this one he wiped away with the back of his glove. He hadn't expected it to be so warm. Compared to his home, it was practically a sauna out here. He took a deep breath, and muttered something. Steam, tinged at the edges with something dark colored, hissed as it sprayed from the pores of his skin, venting excess heat much faster than sweating ever could. The slight breeze the geysers created blew the hood off the traveler's head, revealing spiked red hair and golden-amber eyes. He wrinkled his nose and waved the steam away, walking more quickly to get out of the cloud. "Only bad thing about that spell is the smell of B.O." he complained, though no one was around to hear him. Or so he thought. "Ook, ook! Nice smell, where come from!?" A huge creature, apeish in shape but bright green, purple, and pink in color, with a small horn jutting from its oddly shaped head, came lumbering through the forest, causing the traveler to turn in alarm. The beast was known as a Gorian, or a Forest Vulcan, a type of magic beast capable of possessing human bodies. The two beings stared at each other for a moment, until the traveler took one step backwards...and rolled a stick under his heel, falling to his rear. "Human smell nice! Probably taste nice too!" the Gorian chortled, clapping its hands and jumping up and down. With every landing its massive body made the human bounce on the ground as he tried to get back to his feet. "Me no mind if me do!" The creature reached for him with grasping claws...
I didn't see a specific town name mentioned in the opener, although I could have missed it. Where exactly is Phoenix Wing located?
Most likely. The only ones who don't are Karn, Trinity, and Phones. The rest probably could, especially since the Guild Master is there as well.
Alright, thanks!
Hey, a thought just crossed my mind. I was planning on doing some stuff for Hazel's narrative that took place in one of her classes in the near future and I realized that some of our characters probably share classes and we haven't really established anything regarding that. There seems to be a bit of disconnect between class-time, which was covered in one post by everyone earlier, and everything else. For the sake of me or anyone else that plans on doing anything regarding what happens in class it would probably be nice to establish our character's schedules and whether they're Freshmen, Sophomores, etc. so we can figure out exactly who would be in class together if Zeroth thinks it is appropriate.
I figured sitting through classes and slice-of-life type stuff wouldn't be very interesting except for when we needed breather moments or had something specific or plot related happening during those moments. But if you guys wanna do this it sounds perfectly fine to me. Hayato's a sophomore, and my idea for many of the magic/martial classes was simply that they'd be divided into Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced classes about things like Swordplay, Elemental Magic, Tactics, so on and so forth, along with the regular general education things at the level of a "prestigious" kind of school, like slightly higher level mathematics and sciences and other courses along those lines.
Everyone in the guild hall is now in Edolas. The rest of us will be returning soonish.
Will any of the returning members have the kind of authorization needed to let Rutger join up or test him or anything of the sort?
