[OOC] St. Fortuna's Academy for the Higher Arts

@The Errorist Wow, a month old and bustling with interest, already filled to the brim. No wonder, its a really cool concept after all.

Now I don't wanne be the 10th guy to ask you this today, but: is there possibly room for another familiar? Seemingly everybody wants to become some kinda "underling", but I really do want to play as someone without powers for a change. Well, sorta I guess.

So if its okay to have an extra familiar, then I'd love to apply.

[Invader Len]

@6slyboy6
Sure, you can apply for a Familiar! We're trying to balance things out, but if you submit a CS and get accepted, we'll work on pairing you up!

Oh, and just for clarification, Familiars aren't "underlings". Familiars and Mages are equals. Some Mages have more passive magic like Healing, Weather, Light, and Shadow, while Familiars might have more offensive abilities, like super strength, super speed, or telekinesis. It wholly depends on the magic type and ability that determines a character being offensive, passive, or support. :)

Also, everyone in the world is either a Mage or a Familiar, so there's no one without powers. A Mage is someone who can use magic, and a Familiar is someone who can't, but has lots of it and has an extraordinary ability.

[6slyboy6]

@Invader Len Yea I understand, but I am just a simple man, when I see magic I upvote. Familiars are equals in a way where they seem like, to me at least, pawnish characters like the pairs who were with the chicks in Freezing. Surely invaluable for a mage, but as far as things go, I dont see them equal. This of course won't change anything RP wise (duh), only the feelings reflected by my character. Probably a familiar who wishes to be a mage or something. I'll see.

In all means, consider your RP to be one of the best around. Exactly this equality is what makes this so good. I admire it, and beleive me, I've read the OP carefully. I'll see what I can cook up for you tomorrow.

Until then stay classy and take care.

Let me just stop you right there spud. The character you are describing would not be realistic for the world me and my fellow gms have made. Your character saying they want to be a mage would just be very out of place. Also, a mage is incredibly weak without their familiar, and vice versa. A mage is no more and no less powerful than a familiar. Honestly being a familiar offers a lot more opportunities in this rp too. Mages are restricted to one of 12 magics. Familiars? The sky's the limit and some familiars can even have powers that either mimic some magic types or are completely protected from them. We have a character that is fire proof, which means if she were to attack one of the fire mages in this, guess what, they might as well not be mages for all the good their magic will do them. Plus having a character who sees magic users as the better goes against some of the lore we have too. So do not make that character that way. She won't fit in with the world.

Familiars are more than just batteries of magic to be drained. They not only have magic inside of them, they also have their own unique power that is not magic. Honestly, people are underestimating the familiars, and I think it's because we chose to call them familiars, but we've done our best to make it clear from the beginning that they are equal. So one last time for anyone at all that might be seeing this.


"MAGES AND FAMILIARS ARE EQUALS! THEY ARE YIN AND YANG! ONE IS NOT INHERENTLY BETTER THEN THE OTHER! THEY HAVE A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP THAT HELPS FAMILIARS AS MUCH AS MAGES!"

[6slyboy6]

@onenote I can't really say anything to that. I keep feeling like some sort of a plot terrorist here, when I am really just saying what is on my mind. Please put your faith in me and my two years of membership on the site to make a character that fits in nicely. You can always just refuse it in the end.

[Invader Len]

@6slyboy6
Two whole years, huh? Impressive, but I'm afraid how long you've been a member does not have any influence on our decisions. Please keep in mind that our lore trumps your personal opinions, and there is no way around that. In addition, please treat my co-GMs with respect, as this is our RP, not yours.

As long as we have an understanding, you may feel free to submit a character. However, all characters are subject to our reviews, and if there are things that go against lore, our rules, or are simply implausible, we will ask you to remove them.

With that, I look forwards to seeing your submission. I do hope everything will be in order. :)

[Discontent]

2 years? Pfft, pleb.

Sorry I haven't been active for a while, just posting to let you guys know I haven't forgotten about you. Just been a bit busy.

[General Scales]

I am the back, sorry about going quite for all that time you guys. Gonna get working on that post I promised Len, extremely glad to be posting again.

[Discontent]

Alrighty, found some time. Post up.

And I remembered the mentions for what I think is the first time, probably.

[duskshine749]

While Disco remembered the mention, I forgot it, figures, so here it is @Republic I posted

[Invader Len]

Pairing Announcement!

A pairing has been decided! Jeanette Blackwood, controlled by @Raijinslayer, and Franceska Vrodiskovich, controlled by @banjoanjo, are partners! You can add each other to your CS's and post about your Sacramentum as soon as a podium is opened!

In addition, @Avanhelsing has been moved to the waiting list, after an extended period of inactivity. He is not being kicked, and we'll be more than happy to reinsert him when he comes back.

To the two Familiars remaining on the waiting list, @General Scales and @liferusher, we're working on solutions to get you two in ASAP, so worry not. We haven't forgotten you.

[Invader Len]

Because I forgot to put them in the post, @Natsu, @Raijinslayer here are your mentions.

[DELETED7282737]

goddamnit! @banjoanjo@Raijinslayer

[General Scales]

@Invader Len Cool beans.

@liferusher Looking forward to the posts partner. Gonna be great.

[banjoanjo]

Forgot to do mentions.

@liferusher and @Raijinslayer

[onenote]

@liferusher Congrats, your character has water magic. As that suggests, she can control water, but only in liquid form. No controlling steam or ice or anything like that. She also can't pull water from the air and especially not from living things. Basically, she has to have a source of water to draw from.

@General Scales
Also, Mui and Janine are now paired up!

[onenote]

sorry for the wait guys! my post is finally up! Though some things may change later as I had to rush a bit because I feel asleep during writing it but it should be fine for the most part!

[Melpaws]

Alrighty, I am finally back from vacation and done with everything. I`ll start working on my character now :3

@Invader Len

I do have a few questions, might I PM you? Or would you rather have me asking here?
