The Magic Academy ~OOC~

[EbonyNightmare]

Plot:
Teenagers who have been gifted by the Goddess are sent to the Magic Academy. The Academy students are
divided into 5 Houses based on their power, divided into elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Spirit.
At the Academy, they are taught the regular curriculum, as well as magic use, study of ancient runes, etc.
Students here can also be called Elementals.
There are many various families of magic users. Not all members of a family are Elementals. Only the Royal families
have a family made completely of Elementals. Royal families are also the only families whose children are
Gifted young.
Since the Academy is a matriarchal society, one of the matriarchs of a Royal family is elected every 10 years to be
the "Queen" of the school (similar to a principal).
At this school, the students all learn about the most important scroll in the history of magic. At first, they think that
it is completely separate from their world, but soon similarities become apparent. They have to look past their
natural rivalries and do everything in their power to stop the Dark Ages from revisiting them.

Rules~
-No Mary-Sues. Everyone has flaws. Try not to have a downright evil character that does everything perfectly, either. Thanks.
-No god-modding/powerplaying or controlling other people's characters.
-This is a CASUAL RP, I expect at least one well-written paragraph. PER POST. Thanks
-Please try and post once a day at least, otherwise PM me and we will work it out.
-If you want to be a Royal, PM me.
-If you have Royal characters, you must have a 1:1 ratio of non-royal to Royal characters.
-Have fun and be creative!! Also, feel free to ask questions.

Houses~
Fire House~
Fire Elementals can control the element of Fire. They are known as hot-tempered, emotional Elementals.
What can Fire Elementals do?
Smoke: Smoke Elementals can control smoke. They can also produce smoke from their hands.
Heat: Elementals who control heat can make the temperature of things rise, but not lower temperatures. The temperature control does not apply to the weather. They can also cook things just by voicing an incantation.
*All Fire Elementals have the power to withstand heat to a limit.
Royal Fire Elementals can move fire with their minds to make it spread. Non-Royals can NOT.

Water House~
Water Elementals can control the element of Water. They are known as wise, observant Elementals.
What can a Water Elemental do?
Ice: Ice Elementals can freeze liquids and control hail, although they cannot make it hail.
Snow: Snow Elementals can control the snow that falls from the sky, though like Ice Elementals, they cannot make it snow.
*All Water Elementals have the natural ability to withstand cold to a limit.
Royal Water Elementals can also move water with their minds. Non-Royals can NOT.

Air House~ (Headed by Felix, played by EbonyNightmare)
Air Elementals can control the element of Air/Storm. They are known for being carefree and wild.
What can Air Elementals do?
Wind: Wind Elementals can create gusts of wind.
Mist: Mist Elementals can create layers of mist and fog.
Royal Air Elementals can also control the Weather. Non-Royals can NOT.


Earth House~
Earth Elementals can control the element of Earth. (Plants, rocks, dirt, etc.)
They are known for being steady and reliable.
What can Earth Elementals do?
Rocks: Rock Elementals can move rocks with their mind, although the size of the rock depends on their physical ability. What they could not do physically cannot be done with magic, as they do not have the energy to do it.
Plants: Plant Elementals can command plants to do their bidding.
Royal Earth Elementals can also help plants grow faster than normal. Non-Royals can NOT.

Spirit House~
Spirit Elementals can control the element of Spirit. They are known for their pure hearts.
What can a Spirit Elemental do?
Healing: Elementals with the power of Healing can heal wounds and sickness.
Emotion: Emotion Elementals can sense emotions of people around them and have an uncanny ability to make people feel better.
*Spirit Elementals are known for their good hearts, so people without a completely pure heart cannot become Spirit Elementals.
Royal Spirit Elementals can heal people who have been poisoned and heal them of emotional wounds. Non-Royals can NOT.

The dorms are divided by boys and girls, and the floors divided by Houses.

Royal Families:

The Laevinus family are mostly renowned for their Earth and Spirit Elementals. They are very close friends with the Caeran family and often marry into the Soranus family.

The Soranus family are known for producing Air and Water Elementals. They often marry into the Laevinus family, but are good friends with all the families.

The Caeran family are known for Air, Water and Fire Elementals and are close friends with the Laevinus family. (Taken by me)

The Damassine family are renowned for their Fire Elementals. Only 2 of their family in recorded history have been of other elements.

The Mirron family is not known for any specific element. There's really no element that seems to be passed down in their lineage.
**NOTE: You may NOT automatically be a descendant of a Royal family. Ask me first!**

[Irean]

I'm interested. I would probobly like to be a water-ice elemental. May I ask about 15 questions so I can flesh out my character, please?

[EbonyNightmare]

Dammit. The spaces didn't work. -.- People can only be the sub-elements, the sub-elements are part of the larger elements they are under. I'm not done with this thread yet, so please wait.

Go ahead and ask now

--------------------------------------

Name: Celestina Felix Caeran (Goes by Felix)

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Appearance Category (Pictures are NOT allowed as a replacement for text. You can write it out then add a picture if you'd like, but I require writing (or rather, typing).)
Hair: Felix has long, ebony-black hair that has a glossy purple-y sheen, like a raven's wing. Usually it's left to hang down to her elbows, but for formal occasions it's braided around her head. For fun, she sometimes curls it slightly so that it's wavy. Her hair is silky and very soft, especially right after it's been brushed. It annoys her at times, though, because it gets in her eyes. She also has natural highlights in her hair that vary from brown to red--every color that can exist naturally in hair but blonde.

Eyes: Her eyes are a deep, brilliant midnight blue with the clarity of a freshwater spring. They have an endless depth to them, yet they're impossible to see into. There are faint silver rings in her irises, complementing the blue.

Build: Felix has a lithe, slim, and slightly curvy build. She's slightly taller than average for her age, but when she was younger she was always on the shorter side.

Skin Tone: She has medium-toned skin, a bit more on the tan side than pale, a result of long hours in the sun.

Scars/Markings/Tattooes: She has a scar about 2 inches long on her cheekbone, marring her otherwise near-perfect complexion. A faint smattering of very light freckles are just barely visible on her nose.


Basic Personality: Felix is fierce and competitive, with a sharp tongue and a quick wit to match. She's sarcastic and can have a mean streak a mile wide, but once you get to know her she's the one of the best friends you could ever have. Kind of quick to anger, making her almost a perfect match for the Fire house, but instead, she was gifted with the element of Air. Like most Air Elementals, she's usually not a perfectionist and disregards social boundaries and rules.

History (Optional): (I'll give a short one.) As a member of the Caeran Royal family, she'd always lived near the Academy. Until she was 10, she went to a regular mortal school. On her 10th birthday, she was enrolled for the Academy (as 5th was the lowest grade they offered). She never left the school for more than a few days until the first sign that history was repeating itself--the same underworld creatures who had once kidnapped one of her long-ago ancestors kidnapped her. She was held hostage at their camp and tortured there until the Queen of the Academy and Co. rescued her. It was there that she acquired the scar on her cheek. Since then, nothing major has happened to keep her away from school for long.

Preferred element: N/A, she is in Air House.

Other: She is often complimented as one of the prettiest girls at the Academy and one of the most talented, but she denies these and only feels that she's good at her magic.

[EbonyNightmare]

Now you can go ahead and ask.

[Irean]

Yay! I'll make character sheet based off answers.

Are Ice elementals able to turn the water they turned into ice, back into water?
How precise is an ice elementals control over water/ice?
How strong? Along the lines of a few gallons being controlled, or pond size amounts?
Can an ice elemental move ice? Such as breaking stalacite off a ceiling, and moving it through the air?
Do elementals become more powerful as they practice?
What ages does the academy accept?

I think thats all, for now at least.

[Maou]

Requesting permission to create a character from the Soranus family.

[LJCOMICS]

If you'd like, I can draft maybe ten or so sub-elements for each house, as the current offerings seem rather... scant.

[ScarletMangekyo]

I can help with that LJ...got a few ideas.

[EbonyNightmare]

Maou: Go ahead. I trust you. Remember that you will be the head of the House, so you can pick Spirit, Water, Fire, or Earth since I'm already head of Air.

Irean:
1) Yes, including ice that they didn't change.
2) What do you mean how precise?
3) You can turn bits of water into ice, however if you want to freeze a pond you would only freeze the surface. When a body of water freezes, only the top freezes.
4) No.
5) Yes, to a limit.
6) I would prefer a teenager, as most are Gifted when they are in their teens. Only Royals are Gifted when they are young.

Alright! IF you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.

PM me your ideas and we'll see.

[Irean]

Ebony, ty!

Can liquid water be controlled as an ice elemental?
My question about precision was aimed at liquid water. If I magic a gallon of water into the air, is it going to act as though a container is lifting it, or more like a giant hand was lifting it?
