Dear applicant,

We are delighted to inform you that you have been accepted into the Alveos Adventure Academy. When I founded this place of learning all those years ago, I had a few goals in mind. I wanted to prepare the next generation to be ready to face the dangers of the world around us. I wanted to bring peace to a troubled land. Finally, I wanted to create a place where the varied inhabitants of our beautiful home could learn to coexist and settle disputes before violence needs to break out. You have been chosen to join that legacy of peace and a brighter world. It will be a tough road, but we are all grateful for who you will become along the way. Welcome.

Headmaster Jorgle Shalewater

Alveos is a world comprised of elemental planes fused to create a single realm of natural splendor. There is one realm for each element (water, earth, air, fire, wood, metal, lighting and ice), as well as a central neutral realm where the central ruling powers reside. The realms sentient inhabitants include elementals, beastfolk, elves, halfling, and humans. The elves serve as the primary ruling and diplomats while the elementals control each individual realm. Beastfolk serve as the link between higher species and the creatures found throughout the world. Halflings are a short race who promote peace and simple pleasures. Finally, humans, though shortlived, are numerous and house the most religious individuals on Alveos.

Alveos is a world rich with mana that fuels the magic of the realm. Most people can use at least a little magic. Adventurers often pick up magic to help supplement their other skills. Some even choose to go so far as to specialize in using magic and becoming great mages.

However, not all is well in the world. Monsters swarm the world threatening to to destroy the delicate balance that has been maintained. There are also rumors of something lurking in the shadows, looming a threat over the future of Alveos. Though each realm has its own military, many choose to become adventurers to be free to help without obligations to national interests.

The roleplay will focus on young individuals learning how to deal with the world around them and their instructors try to train and encourage the next generation.

*Please post characters here for me to review before posting them in the character section.

Oh, I was going to make an earth guy too. Guess I'll tune the ranger part up a bit.

@Lord of Evil I could always make a lighting guy I was debating between a gnome mage or a rai samurai

I could also make him lightning actually, in theory anyway. What do you want to do?

Still interested, I've just been pretty busy.

I wanted to ask if any players were playing a member of the nobility/administrator/important person who would reasonably have a retinue (high-tier servant/follower/companion) of some sort from home to collaborate on a character with them.

@Jasper19 Looks good. Just post the bio when you get a chance. You can post it in the character section.

@Lord of Evil Looks sweet. You can post in the character section too.

@RabidAnubis I feel you. There's a reason my character skeletons are still mostly bare.

@chocomog333 In my case since I'd like to have a connected backstory I'm going to wait to make the character to the other person. I like to 'fill' rolls if that makes sense to whatever is left. No aristocracts so far though ... nothing like snotty nobility for everyone to hate.

EDIT: Ofc I could play the snooty noble.

@chocomog333 Just a quick question before I place my CS. Can a student have two specializations in magic? I was thinking of going with an elf that specializes in both Arcane and Cosmic.

@Dragonydas You can have more specializations, but the more you take on, the less specialized you'd be. Each magic type takes some amount of study and practice, so he'd never be as good at either skill as someone who just focused on one.

@chocomog333 actually a question on magics. Would "Speak with animals" be under summoning (it was made by beastfolk and includes creating companions) or alchemy (altering mind/vocal cords).

What about summoning a fire elemental? Would that be elemental or summoning? Would this be a case where two magics would surpass one?

@chocomog333 That's perfect. I wanted to have more of a support type of character and those two seem to be the type of support I wanted.

Conversely, would say a cosmic mage who only did space magic or an alchemist who specializes in making magic wands be better at those?
