Now I'm rather curious as to what Nathan's ability would have been if it wasn't super speed... Would you be willing to do so for me as well? Curiosity is killing the cat haha.

[Invader Len]

@Jacobite We'll get on it as soon as possible!

@MechonRaptor

Of course! Nathan came down to one of two athletic abilities. Super speed, or enhanced agility and flexibility. We ultimately decided speed might be better than agility as an action and personality fit, but if you think agility would have been better, you're welcome to use your reroll to change it! :)

@Invader Len
Interesting, it's cool to see insight like this. But with my curiosity sated, I'll stick with speed. It does suit him more than agility and flexibility.

@MechonRaptor

Yeah, of course! The quizzes generally give use 2-3 answers, from which we then use personality and our own judgement to narrow it down to one. When we reconvene, we usually go back to those original 2-3 answers, and select something different with our new insight.

With that being said, *clears throat, starts party music up again* @Jacobite, Congratulations! Your character’s new magic type is Earth Magic! Earth magic gives control over the crystals in soil, rock, and even dust or sand! A formidable magic, to be certain! In addition, earth Mages are one of the few types that can learn Alter, which changes the rock they have into a completely different kind! Better brush up on your geology! At the moment, you only know Summon, so you can cause sprouts of rock to jut up from the ground, walls, or ceiling (if in a cave), but can’t do much else. With time, however, you can master the many applications of Earth Magic, and become a prominent mage inside of battle or out! What a knock out!

Just out of curiosity, what can water mages do? Just curious is all.

@Avanhelsing

Water mages who know summon can summon nearby water, but can’t do much else. However, with training and learning new spells, water mages can send water into projectiles, including multiple at once, bend it into shapes with their energy, use it as a whip, create walls and bubbles surrounding themselves, and have greater movement within water. You could even get creative and walk on or under water without getting wet! It’s very handy against people and monsters sensitive to water, and can be used, like all other magic, to enchant objects. Hope this helps! You can look at the spells list in the first OOC post and see what kinds of spells your character can learn!

@Invader Len @onenote @The Errorist

now that it's not 4 AM and I've had a chance to refresh my brain... Would you guys mind if I asked for a reroll? Levitation just isn't clicking with Poppy in my mind...

@Sylph

Of course! We’ll reconvene and give you a new power as soon as we can!

Is it too late to rewrite my character from scratch?

Kidding. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place because Earth Magic fits my character more, but it's my least favourite magic type in any medium of all time. 'Cos it sucks. Ice Magic on the other hand has nothing to do with my character, but it's at least aesthetically pleasing and not Earth Magic...

I guess I'll go with Earth. Will pop Terry on over soon.

@Jacobite

If it's aesthetics you're interested in, Earth magic does have control over all crystals and gems! It’s not just boring old rocks. Plus, Earth comes in dozens of different mediums and forms, making one of the most versatile elements. Sorry it’s not what you wanted, but we hope you can make the most of it! I like Terry a lot! ^^

[Invader Len]

@Invader Len It's cool! I don't even know why I'm biased against it other than dirt is gross.

I do have a follow-up/separate question though. If everyone's been at the school for a year, are they all going to know each other already/are friendships going to have been made before the RP's beginning?

EDIT - also, if so, should we like, record those relationships somewhere~?

@Jacobite

Since everyone has been at school for a year, yes, you can have made friends, enemies, and acquaintances with the other students. You can include these friendships in your bio or in misc, whichever you prefer. You can have hear of students who might have famous parents, or be completely oblivious to your fellow students entirely! The relationships are all up to the players. :)

[MechonRaptor]

Since that was brought up, who wants to discuss potential relationships, or at the very least if they've heard of another person.

@Invader Len

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that your RP looks very interesting and I would love to fill out an application. However, since I can't seem to decide whether or not I want to make a Familiar or a Mage, I was wondering if there are any spots that need to be filled.

So, after that question is answered, I will begin work on my CS!

[onenote]

If anyone is interested in being friends with ruby let me know (haven't talked much as I'm trying to come up with my mage character)

[Avanhelsing]

I am available for discussions if anyone wants to talk.

[The Errorist]

@SunsetRoses We have a pretty good balance for now with existing and in progress characters, so you can be whichever you want! It honestly depends on your personal preference.

[SunsetRoses]

@The Errorist

Thank you very much! I think I'll choose a role as a mage. :)

Felicity Goldberg

Name: Felicity Joy Goldberg

Image or Description: (To Be Added)
Felicity is 5’7”, fair skinned and blonde, and usually wears a bow in her hair. She is obsessed with looking pretty and always wears makeup, with big blue eyes, full eyelashes, blushing cheeks, and soft pink lips. She likes wearing flowery skirts and sundresses when out of uniform, and likes simple jewelry.

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Orientation: Straight

Mage or Familiar: Mage

Magic Type: Shadow magic. She can create immaterial constructs out of shadows and manipulate the darkness.

Known Spells: Summon

Partner:

Personality: Felicity is a kind, sweet girl with a heart of gold. Charitable to a fault, she feels compelled to help anyone in need, even if it means she sacrifices something she really wants. This shows up with her friends a lot. The more Felicity wants something, the more she pushes it away. She hides her feelings of anger, sadness, and melancholy, and tries to be perpetually optimistic and perky, to cheer up herself and others. She bottles up her negative feelings, and tried not to let them be seen. As a result, it’s hard to tell how she really feels, because she’s almost always smiling.

Felicity loves making friends, and is a follower of the belief that there’s good in everyone, no matter how prickly, obstinate, or unfriendly they at first appear. She’s stubborn in her beliefs, and will defend others from perceived injustices, even if she doesn’t like them. She likes teasing her brother, but love him dearly, and would protect him with her life. She doesn’t like being treated like a child, and longs for when she’s finally grown up. She has a good sense of humor, but is not afraid of reprimanding her brother for making bad jokes.

Felicity has very low confidence in her natural looks, and is terrified of people seeing her without her makeup. She feels immense pressure to be pretty, and feels that if she isn’t beautiful, she has no worth or place in society. This belief doesn’t extend to others, however, and Felicity is quite jealous of girls who are beautiful with and without makeup. She has no trouble seeing the beauty in others, but she just can’t see it in herself.

Biography: Felicity was born two hours before her younger brother, Montgomery, to Familiar parents, Herbert and Batyah Goldberg. The pair owned a high end jewelry store in Maefeld, and were rather well off, thanks to Herbert’s parents and the shop. Felicity was born with a severe cleft palate defect on her upper lip, which was corrected with surgery at 12 weeks. However, the surgery left a noticeable scar on her upper lip, one that Felicity would only grow more and more self conscious of as she grew up.

The scar haunted her. It was all she could see. Every time she looked in the mirror, it was there. It grew bigger and deeper in her eyes, turning into nightmares of festering wounds and the scar tearing open her face. Eventually, the nightmares progressed so much, that therapy was discussed as an option, and Felicity’s mother tried to soothe the girl’s fear of appearing in public by putting coverup on the scar.

It worked like a charm. Makeup quickly became Felicity’s coping mechanism, covering up her scars, freckles, and blemishes. While her mother only let her use foundation until she was 10, Felicity wanted more, and with her first allowance, bought her own makeup kit. She became unable to detach herself from her makeup, she felt incomplete without it. It was the only thing that stopped her from feeling ugly, worthless, and without a place. She loved the attention she got for her looks, and started to feel that if anyone saw her without her makeup, all the love, friendship, and affection would go away.

When she turned 15, the twins decided they wanted to go to St. Fortuna’s. Or rather, Monty decided, and Felicity agreed, no wanting to be separated from her twin. St. Fortuna’s could help her discover her magic type and perhaps be a step up to the famed Maefeld Design School, a must-attend exclusive college for anyone who wants a career in fashion. Felicity’s dream is to become a fashion designer and own her own boutique, and even makes and designs her own clothes. She’s happy to share fashion and makeup tips with anyone who wants them.

Likes: Fashion, makeup, cute clothes, fruits, sunny days, her brother, cute boys, gossip, magazines, and helping others

Dislikes: Swimming (she can’t swim) , rain, sweat, dirt, sour foods, masks (they ruin her makeup), bad puns

Points:

Proficiency: 4

Intelligence: 3

Athletics: 3

Misc.: Felicity loves horoscopes, and will often read them to her friends. She’s glad her magic is Shadow, because there’s no risk of her hurting anyone. She has a thing for bad boys. She likes pushing her brother’s buttons to make him flustered and embarrassed.

quiz

1. What is your character’s dream career?
Felicity wants to become a successful fashion designer and own her own boutique. She even plans on going to a design college to further her career.

2. Your character is caught telling a lie/cheating. How do they react?
Felicity would apologize and come forward with the truth. While usually an honest person, she knows it’s necessary to tell little white lies here and there.

3. Your character finds out someone close to them has been lying to them. How do they react?
On the outside, Felicity would forgive them, keep her smile on, and try to tell them it’s alright. Once alone, however, she’d probably lash out and cry where no one can see her. She hates others see her cry because she thinks it’s ugly on her.

4. If your character were given $50, what would they do with it?
Probably go on a shopping spree, buy some fabric or sewing supplies, makeup, some sweets to share with her brother. She likes buying gifts for people too, maybe a present for her friends.

5. Someone close to your character gives them something very important and asks them to hold on to it until they come back. However, your character somehow loses it. What do they do?
Felicity would go to the greatest lengths possible to find what was lost, and return it to the person. If it was lost forever, she’d feel horrible and offer to replace it or otherwise compensate for it. She’d feel like she betrayed their trust and would want to not only make up for it, but pay them back twice over.

6. Your character is given the chance to perfect any one talent. What do they choose?
Sewing! Felicity would want to become the best seamstress possible, so that she can create all her designs in her sketchbook!

7. What is your character’s favorite book or movie genre? Why?
Felicity’s favorite genre is romance. Hands down. Anything with two lovers, a kiss, and a happy ending makes her happy. She’s a real sappy romantic type, and dreams of one day being wooed with flowers and chocolates by a handsome boy.

8.Who does your character admire/look up to?
Felicity admires strong girls. Girls who have confidence, girls who have power, girls who are brave and temperamental and fierce. She wishes she could have that kind of strength, that courage, that independence. She wants to be like that too.

I'll get a picture up for Felicity as soon as I'm done with it. She got a magic I wasn't expecting.
