Introduction
The year is 2066.

It has been exactly twenty years since two parallel, yet unseen worlds, finally made contact with one another. It has been officially nineteen years since these worlds viewed and respected each others differences and soon, it'll be time for the 19th anniversary of peace between this two extremely different worlds. After the very fabric of time and space split, Lucis and Earth, forever separated, become through a massive wormhole in the sky.

This wormhole, dubbed by common tongue as the "Black Gale" is home to miles of unexplored wilderness and the infamous "mysterious labyrinths" which are known for appearing randomly, spawning a number of monsters and always changing in design when entered. In order to combat the threat of wildlife, labyrinths and even potential war between the two worlds, a number of academies have begun to pop up all over the areas of the Black Gale currently inhabited by humans.

These academies vary by location, but all have the same general concept -- "the end result is peace." Each school takes a variety of races from both worlds and by allowing them to co-exist and learn from each other, students work together towards graduation. Upon graduation, students are officially recognized as "Gatekeepers", an honor by any form of government and realized by both worlds to be enforcers of law, peace and overall, protection.

You are one of these students. Perhaps you are ordinary or extremely gifted, good with technology, magic, alchemy or people. Either way, you've been chosen by the headmaster of one academy in particular -- the Academy of The Arcane Artes. It is unknown as to why students are chosen, but the academy itself is outstanding by standards with high graduation and some of the most famous Gatekeepers are known to have graduated from there.

That being said, the option is yours to take.

Will you accept the offer?

The Worlds
To be determined by the members of the Roleplay.




The Academy
To be updated over the course of time. In the meantime, enjoy your uniforms that just recently arrived in the mail -- just in time for the first day.







The Letter
The letter is received at the same time for every student. It is dropped nearby the student (such as a windowsill) by a raven, black as night. It can appear during the night, day, afternoon or elsewise. Should you be a second year student and so on, you receive a variation of this letter that is simply updated information about you. After this letter is received by the academy, you are to receive a uniform bearing the academy's crest with the choice of a cloak or coat.

Full Name
Sanna Dalgaard

Nickname(s)
I suppose there will be variations of her name, but she doesn't mind whatever it is. (I'd like to leave this up to other players)

Gender

Age
17

Year

Birthday
February 17

Astrological Sign
Aquarius

Species
Human

Class
Alchemist

Weapon
As an alchemist, many of Sanna's 'weapons' are... disposable – of limited use. She may carry a rucksack containing a wide array of "explosive balls" (as Sanna likes to call them...), but they all have one thing in common: They all go boom. The bombs are tuned to be precise due to the possibility of damaging an ally during combat: The bombs vary from straight, conical, to radial line of fire – And the window frame between trigger and explosion is adjustable. The bombs are also variable in nature, from concussive to fiery, to disabling without real harm. Magic is needed to produce the precise and unique nature of these bombs, giving the explosives a magical aspect to them.

World
Earth

Short Biography
Before the Academy, one of her alchemical experiments put many lives at risk. When she received the letter from the Academy, everyone was more than happy to see her pack up and go.

Personality
Eccentric, absentminded, inquisitive, bubbly, optimistic.

Partner
(I'll wait for more players to come in)

Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s)
While errors and mistakes happen, an experiment gone horribly, horrendously wrong is the worst thing that could possibly happen to Sanna. Sanna has a one-track mind when in comes to alchemy and the sciences. Bombs are terrible for close-range combat. She has utilities that distract an attacker for her to add distance or flee, but ineffective in the long-term.

Strange Attributes/Abilities/Traits
She retains information with ease, having spent many of her years reading manuals, recipes and instructions. Her intelligence seems to be only applied to the more technical and scientific fields, though. Her focus in other subjects are severely lacking.

Themesong

Other
Sanna has a secondary interest of concocting medicinal and miscellaneous potions (ranging from the likes of 'love' potions, invisibility, minimize, and anything else she can find in her or the Academy library shelves). In her Academy home, she likes to keep plants and flowers around, both indoors and outdoors.

---

I have two questions. Are there humans originating from Lucis? If not, can Earth humans perform magic? I remember from the Interest Check that Earth is essentially technology-driven while the world of Lucis is magically-driven, but I see no such claim here. Does it still apply?

Weapon

World
Lucis

Short Biography
James was abandoned as a child, well, actually, more like given to an insane alchemist so he could be a test subject, but during one of the tests, something went wrong, cursing him. That was the first time his curse took over, and he mutilated the alchemist.

Personality
(Can I put his as TBR?)

Partner
(If anyone wants to be my partner, just say so.)

Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s)
when his curse takes over, he won't be able to discern between friend and foe, and only a person he really cares about will be able to bring him out of it.(If anyone can manage to get him to like them enough by that time.) During that time, he will attack any living thing in sight. (the rest is TBR)

Strange Attributes/Abilities/Traits
He has a curse mark on his right shoulder that will occasionally take over, increasing all of his physical attributes in exchange for his sanity.

Themesong
(I can't think of a good one.)

Other
he has a curse mark on his right arm.

Ah, I see. If you don't mind, I'll go ahead and edit my CS's world to Earth. Her magic capability isn't much anyway, and I see her as more from Earth rather than Lucis. Thanks for clarifying!

fix the grammar in my CS? I usually put bad grammar in my CS because I'm not that good at them, and then my grammar is a lot better in my actual posts. but i will ad a personality, but I don't know what to call my class.

Here's my CS! I'd probably still work on it later but this is pretty much how my character looks. :)

Full Name Aria Cecil Mystique
Nickname(s)Ari
GenderFemale
Age112 in Elven years, 16 in human years.
Year 2nd Year.
BirthdayApril 1
Astrological SignAries
SpeciesElf
ClassSummoner - A class applicable for most races. They are the ones who pact with spirits for their help. All summoners carry a book that contains the summoning spells that will automatically be engraved in once the pact is completed. The spirits a summoner can make a pact with are mostly, if not all, elemental spirits. Making a pact may or may not be easy as it depends on the spirit's condition. Some spirits would agree upon asking for help, some would require some requirements while others would settle it down with a fight if the summoner is worthy enough for their aid.
Weapon

WorldLucis
Short BiographyAria was raised in Lucis by his parents. His father, Maxwell Mystique, was a summoner like what Aria is today but due to one pact that Maxwell made, it costed his life and left poor Aria with her mother. Aria wants to continue his father's aim to be one of the best summoners there is. Upon receiving the letter from The Academy of Arcane Arts, she left her mother with her brothers and promised to come back as the best summoner there is.
PersonalityAria is shy, soft-spoken, and always nervous if she's with people she doesn't know. If she's with people she's comfortable with, she's loud, optimistic, and outgoing.
Partner (Undecided)
Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s)Aria's biggest pet peeve are insects. She hates creepy crawlies. She finds them disgusting, horrifying and terrible. If she were to battle a creature that is insect-like. She would rather kill herself than be near to that creature. Even if an insect spirit that's powerful would want to make a pact with her for free, she would immediately turn down the offer and probably run away crying.
Battle-wise, Aria isn't weak against any kind of class or race because she doesn't directly fight with them. Her biggest weak point is her book. If she doesn't have it, she's practically useless and defenseless. It is ambiguous to anybody whether she can summon without her book.
Strange Attributes/Abilities/Traits Like most summoners, Aria can talk to spirits. But unlike anybody else, Aria can understand directly what the spirits say unlike normal summoners who only rely on gestures made by the spirits. This could possibly make things easier for Aria.
Other Although Aria has been training for several years now, she still hasn't made a pact with any spirit as they are dangerous and Aria may not be able to handle it. As of now, Aria comfortably uses Sylph most of the time. She also is very good friends with Sylph and usually summons Sylph so she could talk with her. She uses Luna and Undine from time to time but never uses Ifirt because there seems to be a problem with Ifrit, which, as of now, is unknown.

ok. i added my character's class.

Alright! Here it is! Sorry for the slight delay.

Nickname
Goes by her regular name, but does respond to her callsign from training "Mobius 1"

Gender
Female

Age
18

Year
First

Birthday
January 2, 2049

Astrological Sign
"Astrology is bullshit"- A person who read a book

Species
"Enhanced Human"
A type of modified human that the earth governments, particularly the United States, have been incorporating into their military. Based on the role the recruit is going into, they are given a modifier that helps them with their job. Alika was given the "Gyrfalcon" modification, greatly increasing her reaction time and eye site. The bi-products vary, such as her new found physical features like her white hair, the small feathered wings sprouting from her head, or her new feathered tail. She only just went through the process a month ago so she still getting used to the new found abilities. The another part comes with a slight unintentional increase in a user's magical affinity. Allowing them to use rudimentary magic more effectively.

Class
"Strike Witch"
A Strike Witch as a unit is typically an individual given both physical modifications and special equipment for combat. As an Aerial Witch, Alika is given a "Striker", a leg mounted unit that allows her to fly through the sky like a jet fighter. Her particular module is an old family one that's been passed down for a few generations. It's based off of the F-22 fighter from the early 2010s which was the most advance fighter of its time. She has minor stealth capabilities and can zip and turn through the sky like no other. Strike Witches are often more heavily armed, hence her M61 Gatling Rifle.

Weapon
"The M61 Gatling Rifle"
This heavy assault rifle fires 20mm rounds at around 4,000 rounds a minute. Naturally she has to have a light trigger finger with this bullet hose weapon. Thankfully the recoil is well managed and she can use it effectively, though it is a short to medium range weapon even as deadly as it is.

World
Earth

Short Biography
To put it simply, she was pressed into military service through her family, making her go to the United States Air Force Academy at 17. When she recieved the letter she took it as a way out of getting thrown into the military life and finally doing something with her life where she will have the final say. Other than that, the more gritty things will hopefully be revealed later in the roleplay.

Personality
A friendly individual who tends to lean on the skeptical side.

Partner
To be assigned

Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s)
Fears? She doesn't want to die. That's it. She's been getting military life and mentality shoved down her throat for most of her life so the concept of hesitating in a fight out of fear is lost to her. She fears losing her friends or hell even her family even after the crazy lifestyle they put her through. She's only human after all.

Strange Attributes/Abilities/Traits
She is really really really good with flying. I mean anything. You stick her in a bi-plane and in a minute she's flying like an Ace. Its one of the few things she feels pure joy and happiness from. That's why she still stuck to keeping her Strikers as they are a key to her ultimate freedom. Flying is her life.

An enchanted coin. Flip it one way it's a Gladius with a golden hilt, flip it another it's a spear. He uses Ice magic and channels it through his weapon.

World
Lucis

Short Biography
Pio grew up in a troubled country on Lucis and had to learn to defend himself from it's many dangers.

Personality
He can be unsympathetic, ambivalent. He loves to battle and is dangerously overconfident. He finds it easy to read people, giving him an advantage to hurt or help someone. He thinks Earth and Lucis can be the two most ugly and beautiful planets at the same time.

Partner
To be Determined.

Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s)
As a Consuine, Pio's magical power is tremendous. He must exercise extreme self-discipline to keep it from devouring him or worse becoming a vessel for it. A mindless husk which the magic can control and destroy with. He fears being forgotten, a worthless corpse among a sea of corpses, he fears being lost in time. No one to remember him. And he fears his own power.

Strange Attributes/Abilities/Traits
Because his magical power is ice, he can manipulate anything that can be turned into ice, anything with water.

Other
Definitely wants the armored coat. Also, he's not too fond of cats.

will deal with CS later keep in mind its not done and my brain keeps pooping out on me. there will be some changes and some balancing later on just busy.

I was wondering if I could possibly be a..villain of sorts. here is my CS for you to look over and if you are ok with my idea perhaps we may speak of it in length about it.

Species

Class
Order of the Talon- uses a special gauntlet with blades on all fingers but the thumb making it seen it is a claw or talon.. The order uses secrets and the shadows to achieve its goals.(Similar to Assassins of the contemporary world or of antiquity). known for their secrecy and unwillingness to work with others without a vested interested.

Weapon: 3
The ancient and power Dual gauntlets, beautiful yet cruel in their construction. forged by the flame of hate and tempered by time they now have a chance to taste blood. The wearer must prove they are capable of receiving the honor of these blades. These weapons are capable of using limited magic, but the blades are designed to be able at will extend from the gauntlets by an unknown means to their full length. The second weapon known simply as the black blade is a dark weapon created from black magic and forbidden technology. A living weapon with a mind of its own, before one may wield this weapon you must prove to it you are worthy. Finally the Chains or torment. attached to the gauntlet it allows to user to travel over long distances by shooting a chain to stick to walls and surfaces. Normally not a weapon it can be used to drag people closer or to entangle the target in its spiky chains, though this is rare as the chain if seen can be easily knocked away should the target know where it is to land.

World
Earth

Short Biography
little is known about Marius, except for three things. One he comes from a small village, considered to harbor hate for the new comers. The second being he may not have wanted his fate. he does not remember his past well believing he suffers from some form of insanity rather then his own memories.

Personality
secretive

Partner
none as of yet

Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s)
due to the process of his creation he suffers from a mild form of insanity in the form of voices whispering to him seeing past friend and foe. Having lived such a long Life has blended in battle he may forget what age he is in. Finally a flaw in his creation has caused him to fall into a uncontrollable state in which he is a danger to friend or foe. as part of the pact with his sword the weapon slowly will break down his body, while this is something he will recover from in time he can't fight with full power for long periods of time. The black blade while still powerful is only a fragment of the true blade, in comparison to the true black blade it is just slightly better then a normal blade at the moment,though it may improve as time goes on. This dark weapon speaks to its wielder to slowly tearing down its owners sanity in combat. One must use extreme care not to give into its temptations or risk being lost to darkness forever.

Strange Attributes/Abilities/Traits
side effects of his creation: regenerative abilities,enhanced strength and speed, being able to see perfectly in darkness.

Arowne, Kilo6, SuppahCow009 and MuskedMan, very nice, your characters are accepted!

Will look over them completely later and just see that there is something I missed over, but otherwise, your CS look fabulous. I'm going to make a Character Bin, most likely later today, just for purposes of documenting this Roleplay. All accepted CS may be posted there as well. Aside from that, will be in the Chatzy most of today, but I have things to do in the upcoming hours of today.

Caliban, I saw your PM, will respond to it a bit later. Thank you for your patience!
