• Appearance:
• Name: Circe
• Title:
• Age: 16
• Species: Shifter
• Abilities: Circe can assume the form of any organic creature.
• Skills: Circe is semi proficient in both hand to hand combat and dual swords.
• Inventory: Circe has two collapsed short swords attached to her forearms that she can flick her wrists and they popped out quickly.
• Sample Post: Circe walked through the crowded city, she windowed shopped without actually checking the wares. Her ears were doing the real shopping, she enjoyed information, and the city was rife with it. Most of it was useless drivel, parents talking about their children in school, who was cheating on their spouse, even an illegal drug deal or two. None of this interested Circe to much.

She gathered any pertinent information about any illegal money transfers, she had to make some living on the streets. She only ever robbed from drug dealers, and gangsters and most of it went back to the families in the area struggling. She turned down an alley to start heading home to plan her next move. Three men with daggers came from around the corner with lecherous grins on their faces.

"Hey sweetie, why don't you come here, we got something we want to show ya." An elf said to her.

"Ya, you look like the kind of girl that enjoys having fun!!" A human said from the back.

"I have no time for filth such as yourself, I have prior arrangements that must been seen to." Circe responded coldly.

"Bitch, we ain't the kind of people you ignore, now come here and take care of us!!" The elf said with a sneer. Liz plastered on the biggest fake smile she could.

"My, my, I do apologize gentlemen, where are my manners?? I shall assuredly take care of you." With a flick of the wrists her swords came out. The men confident in their numbers charged the young woman. The world around Circe slowly faded away and it became just the alley, the men, and herself. She allowed the criminals to get close to her before she struck, weaving in between all three men. As she passed she wasted no movement and sliced through all their legs. As the men fell to the ground cursing her Circe slid her blades back to her forearms. She didn't bother to return banter with the injured but continued on her way around the alley corner. She concentrated hard and felt her body begin to shrink, white fur grew in her body and a long leather tail extended out. To anyone passing her by, they most likely wouldn't have even seen the mouse climb into the sewer drain.

A hour later, Circe was back in her home, a deserted subway station. She was about to collapse from the exhaustion of shifting but something caught her eye. A gilded envelope sat on her bed with her name on it. She picked it up and opened it.

Dear Miss Circe,

You have been accepted into Hikari Ryoden Academy, the semester starts soon,
so please notify us with an answer of your intention of coming. We truly hope to see you here!!

Headmaster.

Circe didn't bother reading on how to respond or get to the school, her shift drain had already pulled her to close to unconscious.

I am interested in this. I have an anime teacher character I'd like to use more, and the idea of a slime girl sounds really cool, but we seem to need more boy students so maybe a Centaur...

[Silver Carrot]

• Appearance:

Ms. Mako

• Name: Akane Mako

• Title: Lady Obsidian

• Age: 78

• Species: Witch

• History: There is a reason Mako is known as a 'witch' and not a 'mage'. Her magic is earth-based and is based on witchcraft rather than the arcane. Though not nearly n a scale comparable to the Great Witch, Mako was still a very formidable opponent to the numerous wizards who have crossed her path over the years. The ties to one particularly powerful and evil member of her kind have given witches a bad reputation, and the art of witchcraft is dying out. Mako decided to kill two birds with one stone and decided to become a teacher, both passing on the knowledge of witchcraft to the younger generation, and helping to heal it's image by firmly standing on the side of the Dawn Slayers.

• Abilities: Mako's command of witchcraft has very few, if any, rivals on the planet, and only a select few beings of any race are a match for her in magic-based combat. That number is probably less than a hundred. She is also adept at potions, divination, alchemy, curses and hexes.

• Skills: Mako, as well as a rigid and enthusiastic albeit mischievous teacher, is also a fantastic cook, as is to be expected from a potions master. After all, what is cookery but potions with food? She also practices acrobatics and gymnastics as a hobby (a healthy body leads to a healthy mind) and as such is incredibly fit and agile, which keeps her young almost as much as her magic does.

• Classes:

-History

-Basic Magic

-Spells and Potions

-Home Economics

• Sample Post:

Hider

Mako was sitting in the staff room, marking the History exam papers of the class that was to be graduating this year.
With her right hand, she was holding the pen with which she was ticking the correct answers and crossing out the wrong ones, or grading the essay question answers out of 10. With her left, she was drawing a chalk pentagram onto a special mat (as she couldn't draw on the staff table anymore. She'd gotten in trouble for that in the past). She wasn't right-handed, in fact, she was ambidextrous, yet the pentagram had to be drawn with the left hand.

When the pentagram as done, she placed her thermos of now cold coffee (Irish coffee, though she kept that a secret) in the middle and muttered an incantation. A few seconds later, the coffee was piping hot. She always had to be careful using pentagrams indoors, as you couldn't see the sun, and the pentagram had to point East, towards the rising sun. if it pointed West, it became a symbol of Satanism instead of Witchcraft and cast the spell, useful to Demons living in the Inferno, of making hot drinks cold, and more than once Mako had misjudged which direction was East and accidentally created iced coffee. Mako hated iced coffee.

Looking over at the answers again, she felt a slight pang in her chest, that she felt every year teaching here.
You grew attached to students and it was always sad to see more go. It was a feeling you never truly got used to. She thought back to her own time at school too, as a short haired troublemaker who at that point knew she was a witch but didn't know the connotations until her own History class. Her mother had told her to just pretend to be a mage. She grew to resent it, but her mother always kept her in check, for if she snapped, she'd just be proving everybody right about witches. That's why she was here, after all. To change things with kindness and teaching instead. It was scandalous at first for this school to have a witch teaching students but Mako worked very hard to prove herself before too much damage to the school's reputation was done.

With the marking done, Mako stretched, and headed out the staffroom, passing by all the stragglers of this term.
It wasn't long now before the new school year started and a new batch of first years arrived. She wondered what they'd be like. Would they be hard to teach? Will their parents have warned them about learning from a witch? Would they be fine with it? Would they be quick learners or thick as mud? Only time would tell. They couldn't be much worse than the first years from fourteen years ago, though. That class was the worst. The. Worst. She chuckled as she remembered the shenanigans. That class would always be her favourite.

@chukklehed

Much better. She's fine on my end. Await KoL's thoughts.

@Conscripts

Interesting. Is it likely to say that Alister was sent by the Head Magister to deal with Yurius during his rampages?

@Gummy1295

She's fine by me. Await KoL's opinion.

@Cerces22

When she takes the form of other creatures, does she also gain their powers and abilities?

@Silver Carrot

Very interesting, especially since witches these days are treated with stigma due to the events of the Dark Times. Your sample post seems a bit lacking however and aside from that, everything else looks fine.

[Silver Carrot]

@TheWindel

Yeah, I wrote that in college. I'll add to it now. (I hope that's not too small for a regular post, though. Sometimes I can't manage three paragraphs though I usually can)

[Conscripts]

@TheWindel I think yeah, it is a cool thing to be added. I initially did not think it that far, but yeah his rampage killing warriors would very likely attract the authorities. But I don't know about the Head Magister, whether or not the title was present in the past, since it was hundreds of years ago, and Alister, being a human, is already dead by our time (Yurius is only alive because he's a vampire)

[TheWendil]

@Conscripts

The Head Magister is the oldest thing in the RP. Maybe.

[TheWendil]

@Silver Carrot

Much better; await KoL's words. As for post length, the minimum is at least 2-3 paragraphs, though we encourage you to write to the best of your abilities.

[Conscripts]

Ok, it seems good. I've added the thing into the CS. Permit me to ask if the CS is ok for you?

[chukklehed]

The head magister is the oldest thing in the RP, including the books in the library, the school, the city, and the continent.

I assume

[TheWendil]

@Conscripts

It's good by me. Await KoL's opinion. Whenever that happens.

@thewindel

The way I picture the ability as of right now she has neither the strength or knowledge of what we would consider truly powerful creatures like Werewolves or such, right now she can only shift to creatures like dogs or birds, but yes while in those forms she would gain their normal abilities like an Eagles eyesight and such. She can't hold then for to long though, she averages about a hour before having to shift back and being to drained to try again for hours. I figured as she learns and grows she can shift to more powerful things, for longer and maybe have access to their abilities, but never as powerful they are.

[TheWendil]

@Cerces22

I see. In that case, she's fine by me.

[Cerces22]

@KoL

Do you want us to move our character sheets over??

[TheWendil]

All accepted CSs can be moved to the Character Tab.

[TheWendil]

The first IC will be up either tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully a few more students will show up in that time frame.

[Silver Carrot]

@TheWindel

Shall I make my other student idea?

[TheWendil]

Shall I make my other student idea?

@Silver Carrot

If you would like to.
