WELCOME TO
HIKARI RYODAN ACADEMY

When the world was brought into the Dark Ages by the Great Witch, turmoil blanketed the skies. Pestilence and horror lay in wake of every which way the Great Witch was strewn. Its influence corroding and presence encompassing, it was only by a shining miracle that the Great Witch was beaten back into the Abyss. Warriors of all races and backgrounds, of the humane and supernatural, banded together to cast the creature away from the world and save it.

These were the first Dawn Slayers. And centuries later, the world has been rebuilt and rejuvenated under the dutiful eye that continues to protect the world. Times have changed however. A peaceful cooperation between humanity and the paranormal has been established via the Dawn Slayers and academies have sprung up all over for the sake of fostering a new generation.

Enter Hikari Ryodan Academy: A pristine school created and headed by the Head Magister, a mage considered to be the strongest of our time. Its purpose is to train Dawn Slayers as well as maintain the balance of the world. The duties of a Dawn Slayer now vary greatly. One's task could be as simple as guiding a lost spirit back to the afterlife or as challenging as slaying a demon that threatens mankind. All culminate into keeping the balance of the world as it should be.

Hikari is open to a roster of different and unique creatures with equally unique backgrounds, and welcomes all students who are willing to learn. From mages, humans, and other beings of the paranormal, Hikari is a school that seeks to harmonize all beings in its student body. Make friends, combat the shadows, and carry on. Your life at Hikari Ryodan Academy has only just begun.
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to your new home, the glorious Hikari Ryodan Academy. It is here where you will be under the instruction of the Head Magister and the rest of the staff here in Hikari. Each of you will receive your own dorms and will be taught in the ways of the Dawn Slayer to protect the balance of the World and keep the forces of the chaos from running rampant.

However, a demonic and dark force is rising, overbearing the world as we know it. Hikari Ryodan Academy is strangely receiving more and more students than ever before, suggesting a shift in the paranormal balance. Soon, mysterious occurrences begin happening to students, and rumors are spreading that chaos is afoot. The forces of evil are rising in rebellion, and leading them is an ancient enemy. The only thing keeping this world in balance now is the future generation of Dawn Slayers. The students of Hikari.
RULES
No Godmodding, Power Gaming, Metagaming, Mary Sues/Gary Stus, and or similar types of characters/behavior.

Each student will start the school year fresh, making then all first years in the Academy.

Each player may have two characters each, as they are allowed to play as both students and staff.

There will be no specific posting order. However, wait at least two turns before posting again to let others have fun as well.

Discussion in the OOC is nice, but if there is prolonged heated argument, take it in the PMs. Otherwise, the GMs will solve the problem. Criticism is ok but, if you want to come here to argue, please refrain from doing so. This will result in a quick and swift ban.

RPers who "sporadically" lose interest or leave without saying anything are discouraged. I strongly suggest you either inform me or the Co-GMs of your leave of absence. If it’s an emergency, then at least tell us it is. We're reasonable people.

Please post your Character Sheets onto the OOC for evaluation. After being accepted, you may then post them onto the Character Tab.

Follow the Guild's rules for content/language. Take any improper material to PMs, please.

Keep your IC posts at a minimum length of one or two paragraphs (i.e.: around 500 to 1000 characters), for each character in your post. Furthermore, try to write as well as you can.

We take suggestions from the players into consideration with a great deal of importance. However, we are the final arbiters of any issue. Do not question our final verdict.

If you have any problems, questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to let the GMs know.

Have fun. Or I will make you have fun ಠ_ಠ

Isn't he a member of the staff? That doesn't necessarily needs to be a teacher.

@KoL Last time he was a student, because he had no idea how the world worked, but was also an adjutant teacher because he was way more combat ready than 90% of the staff and taught combat meditation.

This... doesn't make much sense, I have to say. A set up such as this would be better if he was a club captain/class monitor or something like this since it's far less contrived in my opinion.

It would be better if he was a teacher or a student. A student teacher assistant has too many complications.

Her powers are a bit much for this kind of setting, especially if she's a First Year student in the school. Your sample post can also have more substance to it and can be placed in a hider. Finally, you need an appearance.

Very interesting. I believe he's fine with me. Wait for KoL's opinion.

Also as a note to everyone else, when doing Teacher CSs, please specify which classes they are teaching.

Glad you like him. I'll be heading to sleep now though, so if I'm required to make any changes they won't happen for a few hours at least.

As long as it's reasonable, it's ok. What's reasonable varies on the character's species. Students are supposed to be the equivalent of teenager of their race.

• Appearance:

• Name: Havish Greyson

• Age: 16

• Species: Human Mage

• Abilities: Physical Magic: Havish has been practicing physical magic for some time now after learning about his talents, his most notable spell is his Armadillo Cloak, he can summon a tough chitinous armor that can with effort, cover his entire body. the shape of the armor is all dependent on his will, he has before managed to have a sharpened appendage protrude from the gauntlet but was able to make nothing more than the gauntlet. Other talents of his are other physical modification magics like increasing strength or speed or durability, of course the extent of this power is very limited.

• Skills: Havish is not very skilled at much but he is a very skilled cook, he spent much of his formative years at home and learned much from his mother about food.

• Inventory: A family ring, a silver band with a ruby set in it. inside the inscription reads "A Greyson always stands."

• Sample Post:


• Other: His Father Martin Greyson was a graduate of Hikari Academy and a skilled elementalist.

Highlights of Havish's background and personality are in the sample post.

I'll just assume the gates are open and go right ahead with a character application.
