[OOC] Surviving in a D-Tier Magical Academy - Always Accepting -

[Ypnosi]

@Ypnosi Does soul control work on the living? Mind control needs player consent if it comes into play, okay? Anyway, the regeneration ability is interesting, will come handy I bet :P

@Zinita

Soul control does work on the living, but she absolutely abhors taking control of others souls unless they specifically ask for something (so IC consent would be required), or if, in her mind, they are deemed unworthy of having a soul (ie, serial killers and the like. Just being an idiot is okay, though she will lecture them if they accidentally kill someone.)
And yes, regeneration! Very useful. Also some quick revives for others too :P

[Zinita]

I think I am done image hunting for the dorms, I really regret I can't draw even 2d floor-plans but I hope I managed to give a clear idea of each and everyone's little corner of hell the world.

Anyone who has images that they think fit the theme (art noveau, steampunk, gardens, along with particulars to the rooms like subterranean themes, basements, attics...) or just cool images in general please do share here or in the discord.

With this, the welcome party is ending, players are free to go explore their dorms and face the harshness of the world (or fluffiness, for our local saint and demon)

The first class will soon (in a few days) be held by Professor Admas Alemu, on the topic of the basics of spell-casting and "When to create and when to manipulate: the basics of elemental efficiency"

An additional class held by Professor Celia Reed on the topic of transmutation and transformation, "Differentiating the formula of Bread to Mold from Lead to Gold and other basics." will also happen to those not interested in the first class.

Characters can also just not go to any class once they start.

@Zinita[blackdragon] Ya'll can take the apple from Daria if you want, she's going to head towards her dorm.

EDIT: Will post tonight.

EDIT EDIT: Date went too well. Tomorrow

@Zinita Here be this gurl. Interview coming soon maybe.

Katalynn

ᴘʀᴏꜰɪʟᴇ

Name // Nickname: Katalynn // Kat, Katie.
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Nationality: Federation

ᴘʜʏsɪᴄᴀʟ

Appearance:

Kat

Species: Dullahan -- a form of Undead who appear rather Human at first glance, but are actually able to detach their head as they please. Think Headless Horseman.

Physical Abilities / Skills: She is capable of detaching and reattaching her head at will. She has greater strength than any human, and seemingly endless stamina. She also does not require sustenance to survive, but sometimes eats just ‘cause. Additionally, she has a slow yet effective regenerating property, and is able to reattach limbs if they are severed. Y’know, all the normal facets of being Undead.

ᴍᴀɢɪᴄᴀʟ

Magical Style: During her short time as a Dullahan, Katalynn has discovered that she has an affinity for Dispelling and Anti-magics -- though only when she accompanies them with oft-complicated hand signatures. She is also capable of utilizing runes and similar techniques, but she has very modest training on the subject.

Magical Quirks: Her magic will usually fizzle if her head is detached, due to lack of coordination. Also, she possesses all the pros and cons of being a magical Undead being.

Magical Skills, Hobbies and Interests: Katalynn is not well versed in magic, and hence does not have many hobbies involving it - but she is excited to learn of the large expanse of possibilities. Notably, she has a very steady hand for quick runecrafting.

ᴘᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟ

Why are they enrolled in Fae Creek Academy?: It’s the first academy she has discovered, and she wouldn’t really know the difference if she were given another option. Also, Mother suggested it.

Personality: Katalynn is generally a rather unobtrusive individual, though this is not always true - she is also quite inquisitive, which can overtake her more reserved nature at times; this inquisitiveness seemingly stems from her unfamiliarity with the modern world. Contrarily, she also occasionally exhibits sarcastic tendencies, both to those she likes and those she doesn’t(whom are admittedly few). She also seems easily abashed despite this playfully abrasive behavior. Interestingly, Katalynn’s body has shown to take on a more mischievous personality of its own when detached from the head.

Backstory: Not much of Katalynn’s backstory is known - virtually none, actually. One day, Kat found herself lying face-up in a puddle of muddy rainwater. She remembered nothing - no family, friends, or even her own name. All she knew was that she could, for some reason, detach her own head and survive. Some time after, she happened to come across a woman who sheltered her despite her apparent affliction. She recognized the young Kat as a freshly awoken Dullahan, and took her under her wing. She also recognized that the girl is in no way familiar with our world - cars, planes, and even electricity are unknown phenomena to her.

It has been almost a year or so since Katalynn has come under the care of the woman, and has come to know her as “Mother”, despite no true relation. Mother has recently decided to send the girl to a local academy - she could use the interaction and the learning.

General Skills, Hobbies and Interests: Katalynn has taken up only a few interests in her short time awake, though she has a curiosity for many things. She has taken a certain liking to medieval-themed media and movies, mostly enjoying the courageous sword-fighting depicted in such media. She also enjoys the company of animals and tending to their affection-needs, but they often do not return the sentiment. She also enjoys reading - and asking many questions. She has found herself amazed by how many things this world has to entertain oneself, and enjoys exploring and playing “pranks”.

[Zinita]

@Bartimaeus Hey! She is here and she is accepted too! You may go ahead and place her in the character tab

Fae Creek really has a lot of undead, I guess that is to be expected.

<_<

>_>

Don't mind the edgy dork

[Zinita]

You have entered the spooky zone

[Roleplayer001]

@Zinita. I think You would respond to this one before Daria. Skip me for a round here

[Zinita]

The first classes are up, pick one or none. Take your time, you can arrive a bit late if you have dorm matters to solve first.

[Zinita]

The classes are set one day after the welcome party. You can finish your dorm scenes before moving on.

I do fear I may have misread the mood of the roleplay and started classes too soon, I am sorry for that.

[Ponn]

@blackdragon (and anyone else who wrote that the classes begin the same day as the welcome party)

If you don't want to edit your posts, I can have our friendly continuity fixer, Parr, perform some timey-wimey magic to get eveyone when they need to be.

It's totally up to you, of course.

[blackdragon]

do the timey-wimey thing.

[Ponn]

Okay.

Update: And done.

Aren't you glad Parr decided to attend Fae Creek?

[Ponn]

@Zinita

Can one perhaps pick both?

Asking for a four-legged friend.

@Ponn

At the moment no, it seems it would be hard to keep up with both classes with one character at two places at once. The secondary class is mostly for people who don't want to sit out of classes but aren't interested in the current main subject.

[Roleplayer001]

@Zinita. Me or you?

[Zinita]

@RabidAnubis Probably you.

Everyone, I am having to move places due to the crisis and it has really been distracting and stressing me. I will be back in a few days, I will try to make it as quick as possible, but I don't see myself having the peace of mind to write until at least this weekend.

[Roleplayer001]

@SilverPaw Wait, did a full day pass at all? Or are we using time alteration puppy to fix things here?

[SilverPaw]

@RabidAnubis The way I understood it, some of you time travelled, while the rest of us did things regularly.

[Roleplayer001]

@SilverPaw Right. Fight after class then? Seems like we are going to the same place.

[SilverPaw]

@RabidAnubis Hmm, maybe? Or just genuinely wait until evening.
