The College of Magic (Comments)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Billy Bishop
Age: 18
Studies: Death Magic

Appearance: Just imagine an older Flapjack. Curly blond hair, slight frame, near permanent smile. He prefers dressing in dark clothing, and dressing in white is right out. White is reserved for the honored dead, as is the color yellow and most shades of red.

Billy hails from the Millennial Kingdom, which is ruled by a Lich and where the dead handle the cities defense and all of it's labor. He was surprised to learn that the rest of his world saw this as an abomination against "the natural order" and had a pretty dim outlook on necromancers as a whole. Billy has decided to use his entry into this prestigious academy to show people the good ways that Necromancy can benefit society.

As a person, one would describe him as enthusiastic, simply burning with energy. Growing up his parents would joke that if he keeled over dead he would simply hop back up and go about his business without even noticing. He also has a deep respect for the dead, and the first thing he learns in any new land is the death rights of it's inhabitants. He dose not extend this respect to practitioners of the healing arts, whom he views as just necromancers who "give up too soon." He is also very blunt and forward, and expect the same from everyone else. As a result, the boy can not spot subtlety and has problems understanding lies, metaphors, threats, and poetic language.

Thaat was one of the first things I thought of when I saw this thread. Actually, I want Asoka to be able to use Sen Tsurugi Yoshiki: Ha no Jigoku when she graduates.

Translation?

[Mr. Awesome]

Name: Axel Averstein
Age: 32
Race: Wygerian (Race that I made up) Being Wygerian means that you are born a powerful warrior and conquerer. You have to carry a weapon with you at all times. (He uses a staff which he charmed to be his magic tool.)
Magic Type: Destruction Magic
Appearance:
I'll talk more about him later.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

You'll have to explain what being Wygerian would mean. Also, I'll be telling you what spells you can use at different points in the RP.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Excellant, excellant.

[Zaleramancer]

If I hadn't picked a character already, I would be tempted to use this other one I thought of.

Though it is a bit.. humorous..

Dunno how age works with these guys..

Tibbs is aggressively organized. He keep everything in order and has a schedule, which he keep with metronomic precision.

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY SCHEDULE!

Have you seen this one yet, Marv?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Ok jeez... Where to start. You guys have really gone off on a tangent this time.

This is a college of magic, meaning that you will be learning magic and only magic here. However, I am not opposed to weapons, but I don't want them being a huge part of this RP. I know that magic can come in different forms, so I will allow a few of them. I'd rather you solve your problems with magic not melée.

If you want to keep a sword around I won't stop you. But if you start using that sword for everything you'll have to change your character.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Yes, I've already added the name to the character list.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I'd say no more than a sword and two daggers. Give me specifics if you want to work something out.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Wait, I thought we were all supposed to be young. Should I make my guy older?

And I think this whole weapon thing is silly. It's a school. You wouldn't be allowed to carry a weapon unless you had a religious or cultural reason to do so.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

That would be preferable...

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

The age thing, or the weapon thing?

Because if it's the weapon thing, you're the GM. You have every right to but your foot down on an issue if you feel it clashes with the game.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Sen Tsurugi Yoshiki: Ha no Jigoku translates as Thousand Sword Style: Inferno of Blades. To be exact Asoka would be using the spell version of this which would create 1000 flaming swords then use all of them in an attempt to incinerate the enemy. Obviously, it's a high level spell which is why I said when she graduates.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I was talking about age...I've already tried to make myself clear on weapons.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

For the Draconic Empire, you are required to have at least one weapon on you at all times, which is why Asoka would have the brass knuckles that I asked about earlier with her. In other words, for Asoka it's a fully cultural thing.

My character is a devout Bazookist.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

You can't have a bazooka Zale.

[Zaleramancer]

I have summoning powers.

I'm sure some demon, somewhere has a bazooka.

I just have to bully it out of him.
