@PaintLynn

They haven't even been on the site in a long time. Well that could be a problem.

[PaintLynn]

@DisguisedDemon
Oh well watcha gunna do? The story's progressed some.

[DisguisedDemon]

@PaintLynn We're just gonna have to keep going. Perhaps open it back up and see if we can't get another character or two?

[PaintLynn]

@DisguisedDemon

NO!!! Cuz that's more ppl we have to wait for!!!!

I mean that's my opinion anyway

[DisguisedDemon]

Too true. @PaintLynn

We'll keep going for now and see if they ever make it back in.

[PaintLynn]

@DisguisedDemon
Ok

[Blue Demon]

You're the GM. Do what you think is right.

[DisguisedDemon]

Alright, well if you're all ready to, I'll move us along to the next class.

[PaintLynn]

@DisguisedDemon
Yes pls thank you!!!

[unfallenangel]

woohoo I'm pumped! This is going to get good!!

[DisguisedDemon]

woohoo I'm pumped! This is going to get good!!

@unfallenangel

You don't even know what it is yet! You may be getting excited for nothing.

[unfallenangel]

@DisguisedDemon I get excited over very simple things. You underestimate my excitability! Besides, It has to be cool!

[DisguisedDemon]

For those of you who don't know last names, it's like this:
Team one: Sophia, Julia, Athena, Drago, and Cal
Team two: Clara, Lynx, Drake, Andy and Peyton

Which was not easy by the way because you guys made like twenty air users. >.>

And in other words, they're going to do a bunch of training against each other.

[Blue Demon]

@DisguisedDemonJust in case BookDragon doesn't come back anytime soon, I paired her off with Drago so none of the solo players had to worry about her being their partner if she doesn't log on. <3 Look at me being so nice.

[DisguisedDemon]

@Blue Demon So nice. But thank you, really. It makes things much easier.

[Blue Demon]

Now I just need to figure out who everyone paired off with so I know who Clara is partnered with. (Hopefully not a shy person or they'll both just end up standing there awkwardly. >.> Of course if played correctly it could be quite humorous.)
EDIT: Nope. Paired with another shy one. XD

And for anyone's reference if they so care (but I need it):

@AbysmalDemon's Cal is paired with @Eragon's Drake.
@DisguisedDemon's Sophia is paired with @unfallenangel's Peyton.
@Blue Demon's Drago is paired with @BookDragon's Andy.
@Blue Demon's Clara is paired with @aeuternus's Athena.
@TheHunter's Julia is paired with @Paintlynn's Lynx.

[DisguisedDemon]

@Blue Demon You're great and I'm going to love having you in this rp. xD

Dumpin' an application, since the application status was reopened.

John MacLeod

Looks: 5'9", 170 pounds. His face is weather beaten and he appears older than he actually is. His short, very straight and professionally combed brown hair is often obscured under a rattan stetson with a dry and dead rose tucked into the hat band. His slightly small and narrow eyes are a violent shade of green, and he appears to be a very, very tired man.

Typically wears Carhartt boots, old and beaten jeans, plaid shirts, and a thick beige leather jacket.

Name: John MacLeod

Age: 24

When they came to the academy: 21

Type of egg they've gotten: A true-black egg. It absorbs all light that strikes it, rendering its details invisible to the eye, but it feels very rough and scaly to the touch.

Magic Affinity: Dark

Weapon of choice: If forced to fight, he uses his great-great grandfather's repeating rifle, rechambered for .45LC, and a bowie knife.

Personality: He's often viewed as a quiet, thoughtful man by those who don't know him. Truth be told, he's just not paying attention. His thoughts are turned towards his music more than anything else, these days, and when given a chance, he will pull out an old, worn-out blue acoustic guitar and start playing along with the music in his head.

He dislikes fighting, but he won't hesitate to argue - but this sort of thing tires him out greatly. Everything about him feels broken down and worn thin, even if he tries to put forth effort into everything he does and be friendly to others.

He is slow in speech, slow in thought, and slow to forgive. He never forgets, and tends to have vindictive and petty thoughts about those he dislikes, even if it often feels like it's too much effort to act on it.

Likes: Melodic death metal, folk rock, apples, sleeping, people, good bourbon, and though he refuses to admit it, being close to others and hugs.

Dislikes: Jerks, cheap liquor, eating meat, history lessons, gardening.

History: He discovered his affinity for dark magic one day when he was watering a rose bush he had planted on his mother's grave. The roses died instantly, and he took one of them as a keepsake, taking it as a sign that he should move on and work harder to keep her spirit happy. He would have chosen another element if he could, but when he thinks back on it, it's really not surprising. He had been shut in for months after his mother's passing, only getting up to make sure the crops were still growing.

He began to focus on his music, playing shows at bars for cash. At his home, what had once been a cattle ranch, the grass had been slowly dying off over a period of several weeks. Every time he played with all of his heart and soul, a weak thunderstorm grew around him and wilted the land, just as it had with his father.

It took him months to realize what he was doing, and ventured to the academy where his father had gone, to gain control over his affinity and find a suitable egg. The egg seemingly came to him instead.
