[OOC] Welcome to Marchand!

[ScoundrelQueen]

So, dear friends, my laptop battery has decided to be a goose and not hold a charge. As a result, I'm either going to be posting on mobile or via campus library computers when I get to them. Please be patient with type errors, or a lack of text color. Formatting is a real bitch from a cell phone.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This guy.

And I feel you about the phone thing. Most of my posts are made when I'm on the go, so that's why text colors are not a thing for me.

I feel like Azaziel thinks he's much more normal than he actually is.

@ScoundrelQueen

Sorry about that. Although I personally find it easier to post of a phone then it is off a computer. I know it's unusual.

I feel like I am so behind and to try to jump in at this point might not be the best idea

@Rage Lonethorn

I could try to get you up to speed, but there's probably a few things I missed.

I'll post tonight-ish.

[Rage Lonethorn]

@Mr Allen J That would actually be super kind of you! I would really appreciate that

@Rage Lonethorn

Lemme try my best. I'll leave out the small interactions between characters because I guess everyone else can bring you up to speed on that aspect (and I don't know enough to give you an accurate description).

So everyone arrived, and flooded the common rooms to eat, yadda, yadda, yadda. Shenanigans occur as students and teachers interact. The most notable events were the little brawl between Kora and Larke -ended by Montana I believe? I'm not sure. Madison delivered the orientation speech, and the rules - basically no sex, no violence, follow the curfew, and so on. Now everyone is heading to their assigned dorm rooms so we can continue the shenanigans from there!

_{Worst summary ever!}

@Rage Lonethorn Mr Allen J did an excellent job of summarizing things there. c: I just wanted to add on that if it helps, you could have your character be one of the late arrivals (i.e., by being driven to the school by family, or even by riding on a late bus), so that way you don't feel pressured to have your character react to everything that's happened right off the bat or anything.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

I'm working on a post now.

@caliban22 Is Sam swinging by her dorms anytime soon, by chance?

[caliban22]

@Mr Allen J
Yeah sure, I'll try to figure out something for when I can post later.

[Dodi do 900]

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted! I've been really busy! And will be tomorrow and Saturday!

[Mixtape Ghost N]

Also, I wasn't trying to show off Malik's power there, or spotlight.

He's just a really big, overdramatic, nerd.

[LorelleQuips]

Hey, @Rage Lonethorn, are you planning to bring a male character or a female one?

I'm wanting to bring another character, a girl, but trying not to disrupt the room assignments since the three-room girls are already getting acquainted.

[Rage Lonethorn]

@Mr Allen J Thank you so much! I owe you one!

@EchoicChamber Cool! I will look into getting a character up tonight! Thanks for being great about this

[LorelleQuips]

Okay, I did a thing.

Tatia Fale

Name: Tatia Anne Fale

Primary: Aeromancy
Secondaries of Interest: Illumination and Levitation, because those sound the most straightforward.

Description: Light brown hair, dark eyes. 17 years old. A slim 5'10" figure that people would call "willowy" if they were being kind and "lerpy" if they weren't. Her features are naturally rather unremarkable, but she makes up for it with some decent makeup skills.

Personality: Sarcastic, witty, dry, and not easily fazed. More likely to say, "welp, okay," and just go along with things in a mild state of functional shock than she is to express fear or dismay. She can come across rather heartless, and will rarely go out of her way to serve anyone in an altruistic manner, but all of that said, if she's pinned to a corner in a moral dilemma, she'll usually choose the noble route, albeit while rolling her eyes.

Skills:
-Making people feel stupider than her.
-Legitimately being smarter than most of those people.
-Playing the violin like a boss.
-Being a quick learner, which is a good thing because...

Weaknesses:
-...she's totally clueless about this entire culture and its emphasis on family pride.
-She has never been in a physical altercation beyond hitting kids smaller than her when she was like 8.
-Her fearlessness ends with a deep, irrational phobia of seeing other peoples' blood.
-Literally no practice with any secondaries, and only instinctive use of her primary.

Brief History:
Tatia grew up with no knowledge of magic or the occult other than what she read in Harry Potter and saw in the episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that her dork older brother was obsessed with, and the weird shit her grandmother sometimes babbled on about once she started getting a bit senile.

Tatia's maternal grandmother was a weak Aeromancer in a family of sorcerers that had mixed with nonmagical humans for so long that the magical culture had already all but forgotten their names. When good ol' Gran's children (including Tatia's mother) never manifested abilities, she let that part of her heritage disappear, living in a normal suburban Oregon neighborhood.

Tatia's magical blood may have trickled through a generation without manifesting, but lo and behold, Tatia began to grow up and SURPRISE could create windstorms with her brain. By a statistically improbable twist of fate, somewhere deep in the roots of her father's family tree were more Aeromancers: the combination yielded Tatia (who boasts a level of natural power one would expect from a moderately respectable Aeromancy line -- only so-so by general standards, but pretty remarkable considering her lack of breeding).

Gran has tried to catch Tatia up on things a bit over the last few years (but...well...the senile thing is an obstacle), and Tatia has been sparsely contacted by Council representatives, but she's still jumping in a little blind.

Hooray.

[EchoicChamber]

@LorelleQuips Tatia's approved!

[Mixtape Ghost N]

I'll post later on today, I'll give Vito and Shadowhope time to respond to Yoko.

[Dodi do 900]

Hey guy, I'm really really busy...I will actually have to post on Friday since this is exam week for me.. sorry

[ScoundrelQueen]

Do I owe anyone a reply? I don't think so, but I'm a forgetful nug.
