"To Mr/Ms [Insert Name Here]

"If you are reading this, your application for the Breakfast University of Magic (B.U.M.) has been reviewed and accepted. Congratulations and thank you for choosing us! We here at B.U.M. pride ourselves with having the best instructors, top-of-the-line facilities, and a curriculum truly worth of being called 'the best!' and it has ever been our mission to guide potential mages, witches, warlocks, shamans, wizards, necromancers, the occasional changeling, hermit, etc., towards the becoming of their ideal self!

"Attached to this letter is the university handbook with map, your student I.D. so you don't get disintegrated by the school wards (that was a joke!) directions on how to get there from your location. Also attached are your room numbers and complementary lunch tickets!

"The term begins on the Spring Equinox (That's March 20 in mundane terms; see you're learning already!), please take care to arrive by 12:30 AM - yes you read that right,
AM, as in, Ante Merediem, as in before midday, as in, before dawn! It doesn't matter what timezone you're in, just get there by 12 AM!

"Once again, thank you for choosing B.U.M., and may you live in interesting times!


- Secretary of Non-Academic Affairs, Germaine Gilliane, The Night Witch."



Magic exists. Magic is mysterious. Magic is attractive. Magic is powerful. Magic is all of this, and more.

But above everything, however, magic can be studied.

And that is where the Breakfast University of Magic comes into play. It is one of hundreds of secret schools scattered throughout the globe, and also among the foremost, perhaps even the best. It's Founder and current Headmaster, at least, is unrivaled among mages, and among the archmages, known as first among peers, and he has been for seven hundred years.

The University is an alliance of different schools of magic, all dedicated to fostering the potential of the magic users who walk through its hallowed halls. Although, rather than a conventional school, it is more akin to a huge research laboratory with occasional lectures. Fights are also more common and accepted than what would be permissible at mundane universities - it has to be, otherwise combat oriented magic users would wreck the place going mad from boredom!

Anyone can be accepted here, but not everyone; the standards for acceptance into the University mean that at the very least, some measure of control has been attained. It does not accept complete novices.

CS
If you see that I liked () your CS post then it's good to go and you can place it in the character tab.
You can create a new character every arc.



Magic System - Magic here follows a "branch" system, in that all magic is descended from one of five (5) sources or "Aeon's". The further from the source the less potent the magic. Once a magic - any magic - has reached its absolute pinnacle, it is said to evolve into an Aeon, and the mage in question is said to have "attained" it. Those that have attained an Aeon move above even the revered "Archemages" in rank, and become revered "Archetypes"



Magic Ranks - Mages are classified according to power, control, and their singularity - that is, the percentage of people that can replicate their magic.



Examinations - An Examination in B.U.M. is the method by which one can prove they've advanced in rank. Examinations are generally held in the presence of at least 3 Masters who have no relation to the examinee(s), and consist of seven tasks. In order for a student enrolled in B.U.M. to graduate they must reach the rank of "Master", regardless of age or number of years in the school; the graduation exam is known as "The Full Circle Exam" and is done in the presence of 7 Masters, 1 Grandmaster, and the Headmaster. Generally, most mages do not pass or attempt the Full Circle, so they opt to stay in the school longer or drop out entirely and seek independent study. On average there are 3 graduates every 11 years.

School Locations



Field Trips - Only Novices and above can go on school field trips. Some locations may require you to be at least Journeyman rank, and sometimes with a Masters permission or presence. Field Trips are usually undertaken for the purpose of gathering materials, study, or experience. Locations include the likes of the realm of the Fae, Atlantis, and Tartarus. Requests for a field trip must be submitted through the Department of Academic Affairs with at the signatures of at least three participants - you are not allowed to go on a field trip alone!

I.D. - the all important Information Document! Each faculty and student is issued their own, unique ID upon acceptance to the school. Don't mistake them for just an average piece of plastic, however. The ID's contain powerful identification magic that not only allows you pass through most of the schools natural defenses unharmed, but also access its facilities. Without an ID, good luck being able to do things like take the train, receive letters from outside the school, or even go shopping!


R U L E S

1. Have a post up at least once every three days. If you don't, whatever plot is going on will move forward without you and we'll consider your character inactive.

2. If you cannot post for some amount of time, inform the GM's first! Failure to warn in advance and not post for a week will be considered a drop.

3. Minimum of at least 1000 characters per post, so get creative people.

4. It should go without saying, but take any heated arguments to PM's.

Name: Kai Hartz

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Appearance: Kai is a really energetic redheaded guy with a contagious happiness, he always walks around with comfortable clothes, sneakers and shorts, sometimes even when it's cold. He is really short but his body is really muscular, not bulky, but he has defined muscles. Here's a photo:

Year: 1

Rank: Journeyman

Room No.:

Personality: He is a really happy guy, really friendly and energetic, he gets easily bored when he is doing nothing, which for him also includes theory classes. He is really dreamy and he makes sure everyone knows that he dreams of one day becoming the archetype of Time. His dedication and training show that he really has that objective in mind and nothing and no one will stop him from trying to achieve his objective.

Magic Discipline - Speed and Slow: Kai magic is all focused around the control of time, either if it is to accelerate is body to reach high speeds or to slow everything around him allowing him to have time to think in situations when decisions have to be made fast. Not having full control of his magic Kai can only accelerate his body as long as he holds his breath, not being able to breathe while in "fast mode". In fast mode he is 5 times faster than his normal speed. When he used his magic to slow his surroundings he cannot move but he can take a decision in one second that would normally take him 5 seconds to make, only people in a 20 meters radius around him are slowed, and he can only slow time for 3 seconds (which for him turns into 15).

Equipment: Nothing other than his clothes and a backpack.

Biography: Kai was born in a strong rich magic family, his parents were always restrict with his magic education so he started learning magic when he was 5. The way his parents taught him magic was never appreciated by Kai, they were to methodical, and for him using magic was spontaneous. The only one in his family that understood Kai was his father's brother, uncle Marcus. For him uncle Marcus was something out of the ordinary, it never seemed like his uncle belong to that family. He was free from all the bureaucracies, dinners and business that surrounded the family, and one day, when Kai was 10, his uncle offered himself to be Kai's Master, after that day Kai really understood his potential and how beautiful magic was, and in the first day of training with his uncle Kai decided that his objective would be to become the next Archetype of Time.

Master: Marcus Hartz, his uncle and Grandmaster specialized in time magic, even though he doesn't like that title and most of the people that know him don't know that information about him, not even Kai

If Kai was forced to sacrifice something important in order to move forward, it would be: To achieve his objective Kai would sacrifice everything but never his friends. He would never put himself first to his true friends, and would even sacrifice himself if the others life depended on it.
If Kai was offered to have a single wish fulfilled, it would be: The wish that would always be in his mind would be to become the Archetype, but he would never wish it, he wants to reach that objective but with his hard work, not through help of the others nor his family name.

@Kaesus I'll need a bit more detail on how his magic works. Limitations, duration, etc.; as of now the description is too general and subject to abuse. I'll also need you to PM me details on Marcus's Master, generally, I don't ask for details however you've set his rank at Grandmaster which, in story, is a very big deal, so I need information on him as well, including any plans you might have for him in the future.

Finally - and this is a very minor nitpick - there are a few spelling and grammar errors littered throughout your CS. Just edit those and address the points above, and you'll be golden.

@Deadlyrose9641 Her power isn't really acceptable for her rank, and it's too sparsely detailed. I can accept other aspects of it, such as hiding herself and others, but outright deleting people is a no for me, especially since you've not defined its limits and the method. Overall, I need a lot more details concerning her magic before I can accept her.

@HeroicSociopath Short answer: yes. Long answer: I'll need to see the details.

Also, BoogerPenis is a truly elegant name. I applaud his parents thoughtful insight.

@WindsOfFate

dude, so far I totally dig your character, and correct but if I'm wrong but he is from a famous magic family and he is a bit smug about his family name right?

I think would be really funny to have him to share bedroom with Kai, because he is also from a famous family but he is totally chilled about it, and doesn't even likes to tell people his surname. So they could be kind of rivals in the future.

My character sheet is almost done, just have biography left to write down. Sorry it's taking so long, it's not even all that lengthy! I'm just so paranoid of grammar issues and nonsenses that I keep reading it over and tweaking things...
