[OOC] Arkus Academy

[DrowsyPangolin]

@Indra Okey doke, just a few things: so since all the player characters are incoming first years, they probably wouldn't have any S-rank stats yet. S-ranks are rare, and usually reserved for experts. I would recommend maybe bringing her speed down to say, an A or a B. That's not to say it can't reach S-rank eventually though, your characters will definitely get stronger over time. Other than that, I just have a few questions about the Heartseeker Icelance: Can it ONLY be stopped by fire or multiple barriers, or could it theoretically be stopped by other means? As it stands it seems a littttttle strong. Other than that though, everything looks fine!

Also, IC is up! Feel free to make your intro posts whenever you like.

[Floch]

@DrowsyPangolin I made the edits.

I put the speed to B, I realized I was being quite a troll here lol

I need your help on the Unholy Lance and I'll be agreeing on how you want me to make it. I did some edits on it too and just made it like anyone can stop it.

[DrowsyPangolin]

@Indra Basically the only thing I was worried about with the Lance was the instant death thing+unavoidable, not that it couldn't kill or couldn't be difficult to stop, just that it wouldn't be a sure thing, if that makes sense.

[Floch]

@DrowsyPangolin Oh in that case the edits were made. It isn't unavoidable nor insta-death, it's just a matter of being pain in the butt xD

[DrowsyPangolin]

@Indra Yep, everything seems good to go now! Feel free to post her in the characters tab and make your intro post whenever you like.

Kress Alstein

_{14 y/o | 5'1 | 102 lbs | Male}

Stats

Strength: D
Speed: E
Precision: E
Endurance: C
Mana Reserve: E
Control: E

Spellcasting Class: Mage
Specialization: Mundane Magic

Rather than a particular list of spells, Kress simply has a whole laundry list of magical spells that he uses to perform chores that he really could just be doing by himself. From cleaning clothing to divining the weather to keeping himself awake to controlling the temperature of his slightly-hot-but-not-too-hot tea, Kress uses his magic to do basically everything, both for practice as well as because it’s just cooler. Really, why open a door with your hands when you could wave a wand and open it with magical sparkly stuff? He even recently learned how to create miniature fireworks with his magic, which is definitely a plus in his books…but as it stands, the most valid form of magic he has when it comes to straight-up combat is Regenerate, a spell that accelerates the body’s natural healing processes to heal minor injuries over time.

Which is certainly valid and certainly useful. It’s just not a soul eating magic circle or a barrier-piercing death-spear.

Magical Items/Equipment

Bartholomew’s Tome for Beginning Mages™
It’s a tome with a lot of pages for its owner to write their incantations on. It’s also waterproof, in case it rains, and fireproof, in case you have a magical accident. Kress’s copy of this beloved magical tool is heavily dogeared and bookmarked, and smells sorta fishy.

Mom’s Piercing
It’s an ensorcelled piercing on his left earlobe. By running a minuscule amount of magic through it, it allows Kress to talk to the owner of the other piercing. Unfortunately, that’s his mom. Fortunately, she’s also Cresia’s Second Seat. Sadly, the advantages of the latter does not cancel out the disadvantages of the former, especially when communication requests go both ways.

Mom’s Bracelet
It’s an ensorcelled bead bracelet worn around his right wrist. These beads can also be detached from the bracelet with minimal effort and throw to trigger an explosion of fire that spans a twenty foot radius, lighting everything ablaze in a hellfire conflagration. There are 12 beads, and ostensibly, this was given to him for self-defense. Sometimes, Kress wonders if his mom is overprotective, or literally a psychopath.

Short History

The Alstein family is a prestigious one within Cresia, well-known for the miracles that they could perform with their Transfiguration magic. One of their revered ancestors could turn anything they touched into gold, while Ambrose Alstein, former First Seat during the Last War, could polymorph as easily as other humans could breathe. Generations upon generations have produced mages who were exceptional at the least, extraordinary at the best, and with Edmond Alstein in the First Seat and Cecilia Alstein in the Second Seat, there was no doubt that the Alsteins are the most famous family within the nation of Cresia, their celebrity akin to royalty no matter how hard they attempt to dissuade themselves from such image.

Then there’s Kress Alstein, the firstborn son of Cecilia Alstein, who’s an absolute failure at ‘real’ magic no matter how passionate he is about it. Sometimes you rolled a nat 1 on the genetics lottery, after all, regardless of your heritage. Growing up, he watched his younger siblings turn into birds and turn birds into swords while he made vague wind noises with his hands. Growing up, he watched his uncle and his mom and literally every adult he met do these crazy things with magic he couldn’t even imagine. Growing up, rather than feeling ostracized, Kress felt excited. Magic was so cool! Magic was so amazing! Ho geez, he had wanted to do everything he could with magic, no matter how small it was!

And that enthusiasm never died, no matter how slow his owe progress was.

Maybe that was why Kress Alstein got accepted into Arkus Academy over people who were much more talented and skilled than him? Surely, such a prestigious school wouldn’t let people in through family connections or bribes, right?

Right.

Hi lads! Here's my application Mr. Unofficial. @DrowsyPangolin

Cormac Holt

(S=superior in every way, a one-in-amillion standout/A=Super human ability/B=Peak human ability/C=high end of average human ability/D=low end of average human ability /E=below average human ability/F=any ability in this field is almost negligible)
Strength:C
Speed:C
Precision:F
Endurance:S
Mana Reserve:F
Patron/Pact Info:Cag is a leafy-green skinned demon with two tails. One is a Imp’s tail the other is a Leopard's tail. Cag is a demon specializing in sight-types of magic. With his power can reveal the buried secrets and can see the weak points in others and objects. Much like a video game boss. Cag and Cormac use this enchantment for blackmail and to cheat another and basically rob them of their laughter.
Control:A
Spellcasting Class:Warlock.
Specialization: Healing, Pact Magic.
Notable Spells/Techniques: Cormac’s eyes have been enchanted by Cag to become “Truthers” as Cag calls his power. Cormac’s eyes were once Sky Blue and in order tobegin the pact working Cormac allowed Cag to alter his eyes.
The demi-Human can also heal with his voice after he adds it to an instrumental track.
Magical Items/Equipment: His voice recorder has a play button, Cormac keeps Cag inside of it and uses it to heal others he likes to call his voice recorder. “Headbang.”
Short History: ( about your character's past?)

Long, Long ago when Cormac was five he was told stories of magical entities, humans with psychic traits, and of the societal system back then. He grew up in Leviza If you ask Cormac the rumours of Angels are true. (Or he could be bullshittin’ depends on who he’s talking to.) He was a child of average of intelligence and magic useage. Cormac began as a Elementalist just like his grandfather before him and his sister before him. He followed the path of his grandfather (whom only taught the women of his family.) until one day he met an angel and a demon at the same time. It was a normal daydream for Cormac Holt he sat on a bloodstone table as the Angel and Demon spoke to him. He was slightly miffed as he was flirting with a nature spirit and only stopped to be polite to the infernal and divine spirits that had come to visit him.

These daydreams went on for five weeks...At the start of Week Seven Cormac had been informed that the nature spirit, Demon, and an unaffiliated spirit had died. Cormac asked the Angel who murdered them and the Angel told he. “I did it, loverboy.” As a result Cormac violently glomped him. He really liked both spirits and began to fall in love with the Angel. Yet, killing his friends crossed the fucking line. Cormac tried to use his elemental magic to avenge his friends yet his powers weren’t working. Cormac had felt that he was going to die, but the Angel just laughed, accepted and forgave him. Quickly Cormac realized that the Angel had dispelled his powers. Yet he still had the Angel pinned, once he caught his breath (not calmed down.) Cormac reached for a knife he felt nothing in his pockets or strapped to his legs and arms. He cussed at himself for always coming unarmed in his dreams. Cormac felt a new presence and the Angel became a pool of blood.

When Cormac came out of his daydream he continued his day and had written down everything that had happened for once. He went to bed with the curtains open and felt the presence that caused the Angel to fleet. He woke up with no memory of his dreams and looked into the mirror curious about his new eyes. Formerly sky blue and human had metamorphosed into almond-shaped, lead coloured, infernal, orbs that unmasked his own secrets and soft spots. Cormac had awoke on the day he would start school at Arkus. He put on a pair of dirt-coloured sunglasses to conceal his new eyes from his family. Quickly he figured out a new spirit had helped him in his night dream. Cormac also couldn’t think his family name.

It took a half week for Cormac to learn of the polite entity that helped him repair his heart. He spent that week in Arkus; on the airship he entered a meditation to meet with this spirit. He got a appearance and name, in that moment he saw the Angel again, he wanted to cut up that flawless face. But his eyes showed him the Angel’s reasons for killing his best friends...And where it would feel the most pain. He saw that the Angel loathed the NAture spirit, Demon, and Cormac. Which caused Cormac to laugh at the Angel’s jealousy and loathing. He understood now that he had an enemy, an enemy that despised Evil and Chaos (which was what the nature spirit and Demon was. The Nature spirit was Chaotic, the Demon as well, Cormac hadn’t realized he had Darkness in him.) . Before ending the meditation Cormac got information from Cag, and informed the Angel as bile was building up in the throat. “I am pure Evil, from Now on. Azerisel. I am...Your Diablo!”

Arael WIP

Name: Arael
Age: 12
Appearance:

[+]

Stats
Strength: F
Speed: E
Precision: F
Endurance: E
Patron/Pact Info: (Check next document)
Control: A

Spellcasting Class: Warlock

Specialization: Conjuration/Summoning, Pact Magic

Notable Spells/Techniques:

Special Connection
Arael has an intense connection with her Patron, it is one of the strongest documented natural connections.

Harvest
This is Araels main and only current spell. She can use this spell to summon X amount of reapers with 150 cm long scythes where X is the number of 30-minute increments in deep sleep last night (Usually around 60 - 120 minutes so around 2 - 4 reapers). The reapers are 190 cm in height. The reapers appear at the beginning of the day close to where Arael wakes up and if the reapers get hurt they fade away only to appear 30 minutes later. (If all the reapers die 1 comes back after 30 minutes and the others come back after 1 hour). The reapers will follow Arael around unless she specifically tells them to stay or leave her for a bit.

Magical Items/Equipment:

Necronomicon for new warlocks^TM
The Necronomicon for new warlocks^TM is more of a learning book than an actual Necronomicon, see it as a learning book for new warlocks.

Short History: (just some basic information about your character's past)
(Im really bad with History so please excuse me if this is short.)

Arael comes from an unknown poor family, she was left at the steps of the Anderssons door step when she was 3. The Anderssons decided to adopt her. When she turned 10 she started contacting her Patron, after 2 months of contact everyone except Arael started getting nightmares almost everynight.

When she turned 11 she was kicked out of the house after the oldest son of the Anderssons family got killed by a reaper that was guarding her when she slept, in 2 months the whole Andersson family was wiped out in different freak accident or sucides.

She was turned to Arkus Academy when she turned 12 so that she could learn to control powers.

Rarkel

Classification: Demon of pain, nightmares and suffering.

Arael is the first documented person with Rarkel as a patron this is very strange as according to Arael, Rarkel isn't a young Demon, according to Arael he tells her that he is one of the elder demons meaning he would have been around longer than most demons but never had any documented warlock have him as a patron. This could mean two things, either Rarkel has had warlocks have him as a patron but have told them not to tell anyone, or Rarkel has waited for someone with strong enough contact with the demon world that he thinks they could handle him.

Just dropping this here to save Drowsy the hell that is having to repeat this statement with almost every CS that comes in. XD

[Katthaj]

Aight fixed it

[DrowsyPangolin]

@Katthaj Can't wait to see the finished character!

[Katthaj]

@DrowsyPangolin Finished my CS

[DrowsyPangolin]

@Katthaj Looks pretty good! Just a couple things: could I get a little more information on what the reapers are capable of? And then the other thing is just a little lore tidbit, but there's not necessarily one particular Demon world, its more like Demons come from a bunch of different worlds/dimensions/planes. Not that you have to change anything, I just wanted to clear up that misconception. But yeah, just a little more description on the reapers and you should be good to go!
