Also, how exactly does the assessment thing work in terms of placing students into certain classes? Is Class C the dumping ground for underperforming students? What about the other 24 classes?

While I'm at it, are we all expected to have been at Avalice for the same amount of years, or what?

So each semester, a student takes the assessment and the results are shared among the teaching staff and they decide who to take. A student can refuse an assignment if they have multiple offers or just hope someone else takes them. Class-C over the years has become the dumping ground for those who haven't performed well, and the whole "curse" rumor just blew up from there.

In most cases, all students are accepted at around 14-15 years of age so yes everyone would've spent the same amount of time at the academy. In fact, returning students of class-c should already know each other, at least in a classmate-sense.

EDIT: Ooh, I'll take a look then @Dezuel

Your age range goes from 15 to 17 though. In that case, isn't it more likely that you'll have some people in Class C who are completely new, and some people in Class C who have already been here for two years?

The age range for the CS was just a matter of wanting students to be in that range. I felt 14 was too young, and I wanted the characters to age so I didn't go for higher.

Gotcha. But the point I'm making here is that then it's unlikely that everyone spent the same amount of time in the Academy, due to the difference in age.

Do not question the almighty!

Oh, then I may have misspoke! The new students won't know anyone, but I wanted to make the point that returning students should already know each other somewhat.

Cool. I'll probably state this now, that this is Kress's first semester at Avalice, going into the IC.

That's why he's so happy. His spirit hasn't been broken by the soul-crushing curse of Class-C. We'll fix that

@Blu I'm working on an exiled Not-Egyptian prince sort of character. Considering a couple of things for what magic he uses.

My first idea is making him a psion for a Dark Sun or Dune kind of vibe. I just don't want to run aground when trying to integrate mental magic, as I would consider a "Dominate Person" sort of effect to be his trump card.

My second idea was for something that has the general feel of a Death Cleric, who would engage in normal light and healing sort of stuff, but also what I'm going to half-jokingly refer to as "Gentle Necromancy." Summoning ghosts, talking to the dead, enervating people, that sort of grim The Mummy style stuff.

Thoughts?

@ERode Well, we seem to have a fair few noble scions here and there, but the only other "royalty" was passed over for a shot at a throne that would mostly rule over tents and horses.

The character I'm planning is a royal bastard who was sent away in hopes that he could be vizier to his trueborn half-sister when she becomes Pharaoh, but really his father is hoping he'll either die in Genelogia or otherwise never come back, because he presents a credible claim to the throne.
