Creation - responsible for the bringing in of the new, and the restructuring of the old. Everything under creation falls under the category of "change in being" - whether that change be from nothing, or stemming from an original base.

Destruction - That which breaks-down. The Aeon of Destruction governs all aspects of tearing something to pieces. A key aspect of Destruction is that differentiates it from Void is that there are always pieces left to reconstruct.

Existence - The objective of Existence is "growth" and "permanence"; Existence governs the whole "being" of something without having changed its core or nature, essentially becoming a bigger version of itself, and thus more important in the scope of the universe while remaining unchanged.

Void - Void hungers, it eliminates, and it devours. That is all Void users know, and that is all Void users can do. Void governs not destruction, but complete obliteration. Nothing remains when touched by the Void. Among the Aeons, it can be said that Void is the easiest to attain. Taming the Void, however, is another matter entirely.

Time - Time is an Aeon that governs place, and the flow of one world into the next. "Worlds" in this case, mean something as simple as someone moving from one place to the next, or perhaps in another direction, or perhaps not even moving at all. It is the Aeon that governs "possibility" and progression.

Green are roads or pavement.

Red is the pathway of the University Train. Goes at a frighteningly fast speed, it is nevertheless reliable. But really, it goes scary fast. Imagine a roller coaster diving downwards at a ninety-degree angle and accelerating.

1 - Entrance Glyph: The main method of entrance for most people passing into the school. The Glyph itself is not "inside" the school, but is connected to it magically. There is a barrier surrounding the glyph preventing anything from entering or leaving the glyph unless carrying a special permit (such as the admission letter or student I.D.)

2 - Security office: The Security Office, where most Enforcers reside. Buildings that are color purple are security buildings, such as clinics. The circular buildings in particular are Guard-Towers.

3 - The HAM: Otherwise known as "the huge-ass mall". That's a student nickname. It's real name is the Cotton Store, but most students refer to it as The Ham, or just "huge-ass mall", because, really, it's huge. Buildings colored indigo are commercial areas, such as arcades, shops, restaurants.

4 - Student Dorms: 5 storey high apartment buildings. Most students have at least two other roommates. Built close to the dorms are botanical gardens where live pets too big for the apartments and some special plants can be kept.

5 - Administrative Offices: These are were the Department Heads for each College "Work"; empty most of the time, except for the Department of Academic Affairs, who have the honor of dealing with all of the necessary paperwork.

6 - Research Building: Most magical research is done here, due to the fact that it manages to keep your experiments from blowing up in your face, killing you, possessing you, going insane, ect. Very popular with older Journeymen.

7 - Academic Buildings & Gyms: These are where most studies are conducted. The classrooms, if you will.

8 - Sparring and Dueling Grounds: The one place where you're permitted to be the snot out of another student. S&D Grounds must be reserved before use, and are otherwise surrounded by a barrier.

9 - University Graveyard

10 - The Headmasters Tower: the Tower of Headmaster Niccolo. The tallest building in the university, stretching up to seventy five meters in length. The base serves as another Administrative Building for those who are asking permission to use visit the graveyard or explore the forest.

11 - Colosseum Glyph: Another teleportation glyph. It transports those inside to the floating Colosseum above the school. Special Tickets required for entry.

12 - Communal Mess Hall: A large, two storey building where food is served. A large variety of food is always served here and breakfast is always free; however it is only open in certain times: 5:30 am - 10 am for breakfast; 12 pm - 4 pm for lunch; 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm for dinner.

13 - University Woods. Strange creatures and weird plants live here, unregulated and wild. A natural hot spot for prime ingredients and powerful familiars, it's nevertheless easily the most dangerous place in the University. Permission is required to enter and Novices and below are forbidden outright.

Name:
Viola Rifei

Age:
17

Gender:
female

"Despite my appearance, I am not a child and would appreciate it if you did treat me as one...unless you plan on spoiling me. Then go ahead, hehe~"

Appearance:
Standing at four foot seven and usually sporting a slightly mischievous, somewhat knowing seeming smirk, Viola is definitely not what one would call physically impressive. Slender, and lacking any sort of definite muscle. Sometimes, she is mistaken for a child because of her appearance. Her skin is free of any blemishes and markings of any kind. Her eyes are a dark grey color and sports black colored hair that falls well past her shoulders.

Clothing wise, she is a fan of rather complicated and somewhat eccentric and expensive dresses, preferring darker colors such as black, purple, and dark blue. Her current dress is a black dress, with white accents and red bows that falls to her waist where it meets a pair of black stockings and dress shoes. Why she chose to wear those instead of something more suiting is anyone guess. Some assume she's simply the child of a wealthy family and takes very good care of herself and is quite the pampered little brat, and doesn't know any better. She comments she simply likes the style.

Year:
2nd.

Rank:
Novice

Room No.:

Personality:
Viola...definitely does not behave the way her appearance might suggest. At first impression, she'd come off as incredibly formal and polite. Talk with her long enough though, and you'll find a somewhat self-centered, cynical, mischievous, somewhat playfully aggressive little girl who has a rather large seeming ego. However, this is just her attempting to be 'cute' or 'cheeky'. Truthfully, she doesn't take her own words to heart, and would never consider herself better than anyone.

After that, she is fairly friendly and likes meeting people and being around people, and also simply likes watching them for...entertainment purposes.

Another thing to note, would be an insatiable curiosity about anything and everything. Magic, history, technology...everything. While her physical skills are lacking, her academic studies and focus on such things likely make her one of the smarter persons in the school.

However, like with everyone, she does have her own vices and sins. Hers, is curiosity and a lust and love of all knowledge, and her rather cynical and logical outlook on life and people, despite her seeming playfulness. She, would do anything for the sake of knowledge, and her curiosity drives her to meddle in quite a number of affairs, especially ones that offer the most entertainment value. For the most part, they are likely to be harmless...but perhaps, it could get everyone into trouble one day.

Magic Discipline:


Equipment:
Carries a journal on her, where she keeps up with various spells, rituals, and names of potentially interesting spirits she learned from her master.

Biography:
Viola's life has been rather...mundane, if one counts being raised by a Mage who made it quite clear she wasn't her parent as mundane. That's not to say Livia wasn't a loving guardian figure, but she was incredibly strict and made sure Viola knew the meaning of the word 'Study' and 'Academics'. In fact, the two got along surprisingly well, with Viola's natural curiosity and propensity for things of the academic nature, save for the both of theirs rather...mischievous natures.

When she was ten, she started learning the practical applications of magic, starting with simply 'seeing' the spirits. When she was twelve, she started learning how to communicate with them, which was made difficult by the fact that each spirit sometimes had a different way to communicate. A different dialect, language, or sometimes they didn't communicate at all, depending on their origins. When fourteen, she summoned her first spirit under Livia's supervision.

That was about the extent of their relationship. Livia told her should should pursue her own studies after that. Viola of course, decided to take her up on that offer and has been studying at B.U.M. for the past year or so.

Master:
Livia Fiore. A User of spirit herself, who insisted upon being called 'Mistress' when she was apprenticing under her. She taught her the basics and saw her through her first summoning, but after that Viola was on her own. Livia, and likewise Viola, are large believers in independent study and after making sure she knew everything in theory, she let Viola go and study on her own.

It's unlikely she will take another, unless the benefit would be too great for her to say no too.

If [Viola] was forced to sacrifice something important in order to move forward, it would be: Anything is fair game, it would just depend on if the sacrifice was worth it. Nothing is too valuable to lose, if what would be gained was of perceived equal value. Otherwise, she wouldn't take the deal.

If no one else would step up to the plate and this was an important matter, she'd step up to the plate without hesitation though.

If [Viola] was offered to have a single wish fulfilled, it would be: Simply put, Immortality. She would give up everything for the chance for it. A simple, age-old want that quite a few men have had in the past.

Name: Lee

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Appearance: Lee towers at five foot nine with a body build more suited to dancing than what she normally does. Her golden locks are normally kept flowing wild and free with a black forehead band keeping it from her face. Her electric blue eyes are usually kept behind either a pair of big, dark sunglasses or a pair of garden safety goggles. Lee's naturally pale skin tone grew tanned due to the many hours she spends underneath the sun.

Lee's clothing style tends to scream a feminine and, yet, rebellious fashion statement. No matter of she's sporting an off-shoulder top or a frilly rose-patterned skirt, Lee cannot be seen without her trademark black and yellow-trimmed suspenders, and spiked choker. She keeps a small terrarium attached to the messenger bag she carries around everywhere.

Year: 13

Name:Allen Strauss
Age: 21 years old

Gender: Male

Appearance:

A tall and handsome gentleman, Allen stands a bit above 6 feet and weighs around 175 pounds. His silver-colored hair is surely the most striking trait of his self, a proof of an unusual heritage. No matter how hot it is, Allen never seems to show much skin, because underneath shows a lot of his failure experiments: burn marks and scars on his body and arms.

Year: 14th year

Rank: Journeyman

Room No.: 33

Personality:
A strong and kind soul, Allen is driven by compassion mixed with knowledge. He lives to learn about magic and takes pride in helping others understand it as well. He is in overall a good person, although he may seem distant and a loner due to his being so often busy with experimenting with his magic. However, when approached, he beams with happiness and never misses a chance to speak with others.

Facing him for the first time, people might be a bit intimidated by just how confident he appears to be, and how knowledgeable he is. But once someone get to know his well, they will know that while he is indeed radiating confidence in himself, he strives to help everyone and make them in turn confident about their abilities.

Magic Discipline: Elemental Magic
Unlike most magic-user, Allen poured all of his intellect and training into learning all the aspects of Elemental Magic. While he does not hold mastery over a single element, like how Pyromancers or Hydromancers would control fire and water respectively, the young prodigy can use a vast repertoire of spells to compensate for various situations, making his a most versatile caster.

At this point in his life, Allen has the control over his spells much like an advanced Novice. As a matter of fact, he is nearly as skillful as a Journeyman with every element of his magic. While his magic does seem uncontrolled and rough on the edges, it is mostly because of his vast understanding of magic and his ability to use all the aspects of Elemental Magic he is being considered near Master rank. Most of his teachers tell him that should he attain Journeyman control over all of his spells, he would be granted Mastership.

While most would consider about studying more about a single element and making it stronger, Allen goes further into versatility and is currently learning how to merge elements together. For now, he has absolutely no control over fusing elements together, and as such his attempts to do so have proven to be very chaotic, dangerous even. But his attempts have proven to get better, and is another reason the masters consider the young man near graduate.

Equipment: Several spell tomes, most of which he has written himself, containing knowledge about each element of Elemental Magic, theorems about the existence of Elemental Magic, and fundamentals on magic.

Biography:

Master:

If Allen was forced to sacrifice something important in order to move forward, it would be: His love for humanity. With the current goal he has set in life is the pursue of being the greatest Magi in the world, then he would be ready to cast away his humanity, his love for others and hope in humankind in order to reach his dreams.
If Allen was offered to have a single wish fulfilled, it would be: To be one with magic. Simply put, he wants to understand magic at its fullest and be able to use any kind of magic. In the end, he has the ambitious dream of becoming a being of ultimate magic.
