@HammermanNah, we're just freakishly tall. I just made Korrey as tall as he is because I knew it was likely(I myself am 6'4 and 18, and I've been 6'4 for a while.), and I wanted him to stand out just a bit more. Plus I like the gag of him, despite being this super tall guy, having a love of hiding in weird places in order to jump out and scare people.
I don't think Anelise would be annoyed by the closeness. She would probably have felt threatened with him looming over her, at first, since she has a history with bullies. However, after she determined he was harmless she wouldn't mind as much.
I had 6'1" high when i was 16 XD I take that back, i don't really remember my height when i had 16. I just know i was 6'5" when i was 18. Not joking LOL
@SunsetRosesYe, he's just a giant teddy bear when it comes to most interactions, though you'll have no better back-up if somebody decides to try bullying you as he's a habit of vigorously defending those he's close to, even if it puts him at some form of risk.
Yeah, I think after she realizes this he would be one of her close friends. She enjoys people who enjoy people, and she always loves to have back up just in case words aren't enough.
@AvanhelsingI feel sorry for you, bruh. Being tall sucks a fair bit, especially if you live in an area like mine where most people don't reach even close to your height. Shopping fr clothes is the absolute worst.
@SunsetRosesWoot! Man, now I can't wait to get things started. I want to let loose all these creative ideas. Also, how would she react to Korrey's pets, Festus and Vulcan?
@Raijinslayer To you and to any who may be interested, the Introduction to Monster Hunting class has been added in the Classes section of the first post! Check it out and see if it's for you!
She wouldn't mind Vulcan, and if he ended up in her room somehow she would likely play with him as one would a lazy dog. Festus would have disturbed her, but she would have been curious about him. She would want to pet him, but she would be reluctant. Like someone going to touch something they know will shock them. After a year of familiarity she would probably greet him with the same warmth she gives Vulcan.
I'm going to assume the heart tattoo is against school regulation and so it should just be noted that Talia doesn't have that tattoo?
You can keep the heart tattoo if you want, but put it somewhere else on her body. Facial tattoos are not allowed. As long as it's somewhere that can be covered up, that's fine. :)
@Hammerman No, yours is normal actually. I didn't notice the number of tall as hell people before. As for me, I just have a tendency to make my characters really tall (totally not compensating for anything), but idk about the others.
Isaak is everything you wouldn't expect from someone who was transferred from a military academy. He is laid back, unorganized, relaxed, hates rules and hierarchy, lazy... On the other hand, his physical and martial training are very good, fruits of the incessant training sessions (many of those were punishments for not following orders or being lazy) he had to pass through. All in all, Isaak is a very warm and friendly person, exactly the opposite of what other people think of him due to his appearance. Strong and penetrating eyes coupled with the scars on his face and his intimidating height of 5'9" makes most people avoid him. Due to that he is used to being alone, but he loves to talk to others about many things, especially intelectual conversations. Military academies teach only the necessary to their students. Isaak has a huge thirst for knowledge, and wishes to compensate the time he spent on the academy by learning everything he couldn't learn there.
Biography:
Isaak Ivanov, coming from a huge lineage of soldiers and generals, no wonder why he is the family's black sheep. Lazy, has a tendency to not care about hierarchy or rules. Too undisciplined to become a good soldier, too lazy to become a strategist or general, the only thing that saved him was his good physical and his grades, that were only enough for him to pass. In a military academy, physics count a lot, and for the lazy Isaak, who never studied for tests it was the only thing that saved it. If it wasn't for his strong body and his talent on martial arts, he would have been expelled from it a long time ago.
He was always a guy of few friends. On the academy, everyone thought he was a shame for his name and shouldn't even be there. Outside the academy, his penetrating eyes, height and physical made a lot of people afraid of being close to him. He was regarded as a "delinquent". His grades were terrible, due to the fact that he hated to study, and only paid any attention on the classes he was interested. His life basically was resumed in reading, training Sambo on the academy (one of the few classes he was interested in), slacking off, listening to music and visiting mountains and vegetated areas (he always loved the peace and quietness the nature provided), and of course, being sustained by his parents' large wealth.
That was until Isaak had an accident. He was running on the track, nothing out of the usual, but when other students came, things went from normal to pretty bad real fast. They gave him a small shoulder bump, they were only playing, it shouldn't be anything serious, but he lost his balance and fell over the barbed wire on the fence nearby. The other students didn't knew how to react, they just stood there petrified and watched him bleeding on the barbed wire. His face got cut deeply, almost cutting his eye, nearly making him blind. Luckily for him, he didn't suffer any debilitating injuries. A few weeks later he was already recovering on the hospital. But that accident had a deep effect on Isaak.
The time he was on the hospital, he thought about what he wanted to do with his life. He had never said to his parents what he wanted. Was being a soldier really what he wanted? A soldier's life was dangerous, life threatening, and they didn't even knew the reason why they followed their orders, they just followed them. They are just like machines. When those questions came to his mind, a deep thirst for knowledge took place on him. He decided to change the way he lived his life, decided to give it a purpose, think about his future.
It was about time for him to make a choice himself and not letting his parents decide his life for him. When he got out of the hospital, he went to his family and told them everything he wanted to say. Differently from what he thought, his family was actually very happy. Their good for nothing son made a choice for his own thinking about his own future. And what was the only choice for him? What was the only place that could satiate his thirst for knowledge? That place was St. Fortuna's Academy, and fortunately, Isaak had both the intellect and the potential to join it.

1. What is your character's greatest regret? - Only making a choice by his own after the accident.
2. Your character is home alone after watching a horror movie and they hear a strange sound. What do they do? - Ignore it as it probably wasn't anything. In case he hears it again, he will go there to investigate it, ready to use his fists to defend himself and his home.
3. Two of your characters’ friends are fighting over something trivial, and they want them to stop. How do they go about this? - Walk in the middle of the fight and separate them.
4. While your character is on their way to class, they realize they forgot something crucial. They’re already on the verge of running late. What do they do? - Calmly go back to get what he had forgotten, completely ignoring the fact that he was almost late for the class.
5. If your character had the opportunity to turn into any animal, what would that animal be? - Crowned Eagle. Strong enough to protect itself and free to go wherever it wants, whenever it wants.
6. If your character’s house were on fire, and they only had time to save one thing from their room, what would it be? - His books.
7. What season does your character like best and why? - Winter. Unforgiving cold on which only the strongest or the ones who know how to work together will survive. Its a test to one's capabilities.
8. Vacation! You character gets to spend a week anywhere! Where is it and what do they do? - Coldbar. It would be a good place to relax and stay away from big towns for a while.
