In the great city-state of Genelogia, there exists an academy with the goal of fostering the talents of those gifted with extraordinary power. Enter: Avalice, the Academy of Might & Magics. A name known to all throughout the world, the fortunate youths who come here and survive the grueling years of academia exit its hallowed halls with the purpose of becoming the world's next legendary heroes! Yes, the ones that common folk will sing songs and write stories about for ages to come. But not every starry-eyed, would-be hero will graduate to the greatest of honors. The courses are tough and the competition tougher still! The graduate rate of Avalice is a dismal 5% of the enormous student population. After all, only the best of the best are fit to be called "Legends".

At the top of the student body hierarchy reigns the Miracle Seven: seven students considered the most powerful in the entire school and the most likely to achieve "Legend" status after graduating. Their powers are so great that they even eclipse most of the professors who teach there. But this is not the story of the Miracle Seven. Quite the opposite in fact. Meet Class Camellia, or Class-C for short. One of the subdivisions in which a student is assigned to, Class-C is consistently ranked as the worst performing class of the academy for nearly a decade now. In those 10 years, not a single student from Class-C has managed to graduate from Avalice.

It’s not necessarily that the students of Class-C are individually the weakest bunch, but they’ve never had a Professor capable of nurturing their true potential. Chalk it up to misfortune or what have you, but it seems the Curse of Class-C is every Professor’s worst nightmare. A new semester dawns on Avalice and, fearing that another year of failure awaits the students of Class-C, Headmaster Alphonse Augustine has hired a recent academy graduate, genius of the magical arts, and former second seat of the Miracle Seven—one Nyx Yuria—to be Class-C’s new Head Professor.

Surely, a former member of the Miracle Seven will finally break this abysmal curse? Unbeknownst to everyone, Nyx is a disgraced graduate. He’s someone who never made it as a hero or adventurer in the real world and constantly lives in the shadow of his self-proclaimed rival: the former first seat of the Miracle Seven during their years at the academy together. Jaded and envious of his vastly more successful peer, Nyx only took the job as an excuse to avoid facing his own failures. All in all, this is starting to smell like a recipe for disaster. Or can Nyx and the students of Class-C band together to finally show the world that they, too, can be legends?

Setting

---

---

Our story takes place in the lands of Alrune; a high-fantasy-style world rich in mana which flows through all life. In the northwestern continent is where the grand city-state of Genelogia lies and, more importantly, where the Academy of Might & Magics—Avalice—resides. Most of human civilization is settled in the northern lands. The lands to the lower south are collectively referred to as the Dark Continent: the realm of Devils; a place where no one dare treads.

The technology of Alrune places magic constructs at its forefront. Since mana is so abundant, it is used as a primary energy source. Coal, steam, and electricity are on the rise but isn't as prevalent as mana-powered infrastructure. Firearms are an emergent technology but are not favored over the traditional types of weaponry. And magic is always in fashion.

Mana

The source of all magical and supernatural abilities. Mana is an energy that flows through all life but not equally. For instance, flora and fauna have minuscule mana pools compared to that of a sentient being like humans. And even within humans, not every person can tap into their mana pool. Those that can are likely able to shape that mana for all manners of use. The size of a person's mana pool varies but those who have larger mana pools are potentially very powerful individuals.

Every person has a distinctive mana coloration and characteristic. The latter means that when an individual resonates with mana, it gives those sensitive to mana a unique sensation. In a simplistic sense, you can 'feel' the mana, and that feeling varies depending on the person channeling the mana.

Mana, as an energy source, is created by the expulsion and dissipation of mana-based abilities. For instance: when a magic spell is used. The mana pools into either the ground or atmosphere and can then be collected by special machines. Plant-life also expel mana constantly into the atmosphere the same way it does oxygen.

The Classes

Below is a list of the sub-division classes that a student of Avalice can be assigned to. An assessment exam is used to determine placement. Each class is headed by a single Professor and Class Representative chosen among the students of the class. More information will be added as the story continues.

• Class Aster (Class-A)
• Class Bluestar (Class-B)
• Class Camellia (Class-C) ~ Nyx Yuria (Professor) ~ Emblem
• Class Dianthus (Class-D)
• Class Elderberry (Class-E)
• Class Forsythia (Class-F)
• Class Gladiolus (Class-G)
• Class Hellebore (Class-H)
• Class Iris (Class-I)
• Class Jaborosa (Class-J)
• Class Kalmia (Class-K)
• Class Lunaria (Class-L)
• Class Marigold (Class-M)
• Class Nymphea (Class-N)
• Class Oleander (Class-O)
• Class Peony (Class-P)
• Class Quince (Class-Q)
• Class Rose (Class-R)
• Class Sakura (Class-S)
• Class Tulip (Class-T)
• Class Ursinia (Class-U)
• Class Viola (Class-V)
• Class Wisteria (Class-W)
• Class Xylosma (Class-X)
• Class Yarrow (Class-Y)
• Class Zenobia (Class-Z)

The Miracle Seven

The Miracle Seven is an official designation for the seven most powerful students currently active at the academy. Each individual within the collective possesses extraordinary talent and massive mana pools. They are so powerful that even most professors are inferior to them in terms of abilities. The Seven are ranked in descending order of seats: 1st seat is the most powerful while 7th is the weakest. They are Avalice's greatest chance of graduation and are considered far and wide as the next generation of legendary heroes in the world.

Not only does the title bring them fame and recognition, it also gives them a voice in how the academy is to function. Operating as a council, they can use their administrative powers to affect how the student population is taught and can make changes to any matters regarding student life and extracurricular activities.

All members of the Miracle Seven belong to the special sub-division Class Aster, which has been created specifically for them. They are taught their curriculum by a professor who has achieved 'Legend' status in life and has since retired. At the same time, they also continue to have ties to their previous classes before joining the Seven.

Any student can become a member of the Miracle Seven at any time. All they have to do is be able to defeat any one of the Seven in an officially sanctioned match; thereby taking over that position of the previous Seven member.

Devils

---

---

Demonic entities of immense magical powers, it is unknown how they first arrived here on Alrune, but, when they did, they brought with them catastrophe. After a long and brutal war, the Devils are said to have wiped out all of the ancient races including the Elves, Dwarves, Fey, and Giants. But the war also devastated a huge population of the Devils and so they claimed the southern lands; resting in their dark domain ever since.

This spurred the creation of Avalice in hopes of making legendary heroes worthy of fighting the evils of the world and, someday, to stand against the Devils when they rise again. Although, rumor has it that some Devils have wandered into human lands and have tempted humans into a treaty with them: power for a soul as they say...

Interesting indeed. I suppose I'll lay claim to a sparky girl.

To confirm, Blu, is there a plot you've got in mind, or is it more slice-of-life, character development-y stuff?

[gorgenmast]

Personal Information
Name: Vanda Melo

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Height/Weight: 5 feet, 7 inches. 130 lbs.

Hobbies: His time as an apprentice with the Clocksmith's Guild has given Vanda an appreciation for tinkering. He enjoys writing, and his assistance writing peer-reviewed treatises in collaboration with Avalice faculty demonstrates that he is fairly adept.

Appearance: [WIP]

History: During his first two years at Avalice, Vanda was presumed by much of the faculty and student body to be a future member of the Seven: those most gifted and prestigious of the great arcane university at Genealogia. The savant junior underclassman was writing peer-reviewed treatises at age 14. At 15, he was teaching classes - technically in the capacity of a professor's-aide, though his pupils would confess that his lectures were more edifying than those of tenured instructors. Vanda's genius was unprecedented and his graduation seemed assured.

But when Headmaster Augustine moved Vanda from Class Wisteria to Class Camellia in an effort to provide some leadership to Avalice's struggling pupils, everything about Vanda changed. It would seem that the so called "Curse of Class C" would not be so easily broken. It would seem the Class Camellia's misfortune had rubbed off on even Avalice's most prestigious young student.

Vanda had always been moody and capricious, and rumor had it that Vanda had a falling out with his wealthy parents. Nobody was quite sure what caused the row between the noble couple and their son; Vanda was something of a loner and never confided much to his few acquaintances. Whatever caused the disagreement, it resulted in Vanda needing to pay his own way through Avalice's substantial tuition and board expenses.

During the break between semesters, Vanda became an apprentice of the Clocksmiths' Guild. The meticulousness and precision demanded by the craft suited Vanda well. Vanda became a valuable apprentice to the guild, helping not only to build the namesake clocks of the guild, but also arcanometers: high-precision tools used to detect and quantify the presence of mana. In the process of building and studying these advanced devices, Vanda became preoccupied with the belief that living beings were clockwork devices of a different - more complicated sort.

As Vanda began his junior upperclassman semester, the academy's librarian's noticed a worrying pattern to their pupil's new reading habits. Vanda borrowed translations of ancient tomes detailing strange magics, books of the dead, and scrolls written in the untranslated calligraphy of the devils. Some of Vanda's requests were forbidden texts containing hidden knowledge deemed hazardous and unfit for the virgin eyes of unprepared pupils.

And while members of the faculty began to fret over Vanda's reading habits, disquieting rumors about Vanda's studies circulated among the pupils. Whispers told of Vanda drowning mice in a pitcher of water, and then using electrodes tethered to power crystals to galvanize them back to life.

Vanda went to fewer and fewer of his classes in the middle of that semester, until one day late in the fall when Vanda completely left. The faculty still contest that Vanda dropped out, but rumor among the students holds that Vanda was actually expelled. The exact cause for the expulsion varies from storyteller to storyteller, but many rumors hold necromancy and a missing girl from Class Iris in common.

Nearly a year has passed since Vanda abruptly left Avalice last semester. Rumor holds that an investigation by the faculty found that Vanda committed no wrong, and that the disgraced pupil is soon to return to the academy. As the start of the semester draws near, the professors have little to say regarding Vanda's purported return for his final semester. Whether or not Vanda is to return this year remains to be seen. Some students protest his purported return, and a few vow to exact justice for what they claim Vanda did to the Iris girl.

Combat Information

Magic Class: Alteration

Mana Color: Sickly green

Mana Characteristic: Akin to a wasp's sting: faint and almost imperceptible at first. Gradually builds into a lingering sharpness.

Equipment:

Arcanometer - The Clocksmith's Guild, in addition to clocks, constructs and designs high-precision clockwork technology used in the more developed parts of the world. One such piece of technology is the arcanometer - a device used to detect and measure mana. As an apprentice to the guild, Vanda was able to construct his own arcanometer. Superficially, the arcanometer looks very similar to a noble's pocketwatch or compass. A dial hand fashioned from an exotic manaphilic metal, such as aztjalum, points toward the nearest mana-bearing body or the highest concentration if there are multiple in the vicinity. A second dial hand points to various graduations on the dial of the arcanometer, which show how much mana is present. In a combat situation, arcanometers are reliable means of knowing if the opponent is a powerful sorcerer or if they might be concealing some powerful enchanted device.

Spells:

-Fibrillate: In ancient times, it was thought that the heart was the vessel of the soul. In Vanda's studies, he has learned that it is nothing more than a pump coordinated by electrical impulses. Throw these electrical impulses off, and the heart of even the strongest warrior will begin to spasm ineffectively. It takes very little mana to achieve a lethal fibrillation, and few healers in this day and age can recognize the cause until it is too late. Vanda needs to be able to place his palm on the foe's chest to cast this spell. Metal armor or thick clothing diminishes its efficacy.

-Thunderbolt: A crackling lance of green thunder magic erupts from Vanda's fingertips. A flashy, loud spell that is capable of electrocuting foes and igniting clothing and other flammable objects. Air is not exceptionally conductive, and so launching a bolt of lightning through the air at an opponent is mana-intensive. Electric energy courses to ground through the path of least resistance, which in many combat situations might be through a foe's sword or plate armor. Its efficacy is highly variable. Not Vanda's favorite combat spell, though it has its uses.

-Resuscitate: Just as electrical mana can be used to paralyze a heart, it can also be used to restart a heart that has recently stopped beating. In some more primitive parts of the world, such magic may be mistaken for necromancy.

[Blu]

Probably gonna make an enchanter mage or something. We'll see how things fall.

To confirm, Blu, is there a plot you've got in mind, or is it more slice-of-life, character development-y stuff?

@ERode

The plot will definitely be the focus, but I'll also give everyone ample time for character interaction and chill stuff. If players decide to have a little side plot while the main plot is happening then I won't get in the way and just work with the players interested in doing the main plot at that moment.

_{𒈦 P E R S O N A L I T Y}

One wouldn't expect Sanhan to be involved in a battle for her people's throne. Bound by her duty, she has the reputation of an austere and rigid lifestyle. Unapproachable, most would consider her. This way of life was born out of necessity and not personality. In truth, Sanhan is an amiable girl who gets fixated often on small, enjoyable things. She'd love nothing more than to live a simple life, but she's sworn to carry her birthright.

While her upbringing has resulted in her being mindfulness, her real self is much less polite. Curiously dense and unfiltered, Sanhan speaks her mind to those who she trusts. Simply put, the easiest way to tell how close someone is to her is by seeing how often she holds her tongue. While this unfiltered view of the world is truthful, at least to her, much of what she says can come across as venomous or rude.

She doesn't feel much emotion. Rather, she chooses not to feel much. The drama of her people's throne has numbed much of her to the point of hating emotional moments. No, she lives for the little things. The calming pitch of a flute, the relaxing time spent with a goat, slowly trotting across the steppe with her horse... those small things are her true joy.

_{𒈦 H I S T O R Y}

Where the desert meets the steppe is where Sanhan's people lie. Nationless, they live in the harsh, empty lands were no other has claimed. Sanhan was born into one of her people's eleven noble families. Of course, with so many noble families, the line of succession often got muddled. Plus, the occasional usurper could be found.

Sanhan's family was, by all accounts, the weakest. Their land was barely fertile, their water was scarce, and harsh winters sapped what little wealth they could stockpile. The rich, artisanal goods that the people of the steppe were known to make were never created by her family. No, their pots and jars had to be made to hold water above all else. Their clothing had to be made with the bare minimum of material. But Sanhan liked it this way. It was her way of life. The simple possessions and joy were enough for her. Sole daughter to her family's chief, she was chosen as the next to hold the tablet and to be involved in the fight for the throne.

Of course, such a weak family couldn't beat everyone else. It was just impossible. The strictly raised Sanhan that had been groomed for the throne had lost. By the time Sanhan turned 12, the victor was practically decided. Her rat bastard of a half-brother would take the throne. She didn't mind losing the throne. While her family wished for the power to improve their situation, her dreams lied with the sheep and goats she raised. She was more disappointed in the fact that the worst, meanest, most-cruel contender for the throne managed to win.

As a backup plan, Sanhan's family sent her to Genelogia. If she couldn't rule the people, then the least she could do was get into the prestigious school, graduate, and send them all money. She would be more excited about it if that bastard of a half-brother wasn't also sent to Avalice.

Sanhan carries the Fourth Cuneiform of the Jahn. Rather than a book as per a traditional grimoire, the tablet is a small, thin slab of an unknown stone. Almost indestructible, the dark green tablet is covered in deep carvings that tell of the properties of the world and how to bend them to one's will. Such techniques are unrefined, however. While the tablet is denser in knowledge than most, one must balance the forces of each spell. For every creation, something must be destroyed for balance.

Cuneiform Magic: Alteration

𒌒 Vacuum/Eruption: By rapidly compressing air, Sanhan creates a vacuum that rapidly pulls everything nearby towards a single point. Likewise, she can rapidly decompress air, creating a shockwave that forces everything away.

𒌒 Motion/Still: Sanhan can imbue an object with a force, sending it in a chosen direction. Likewise, she can calm a motion to stop. Rather than solely imbue objects, she can creating floating glyphs that apply the effect to whatever comes into contact.

𒌒 Bolster/Hinder: Sanhan can bind her own magic to another's, either strengthening it or weakening it.

𒌒 Mend/Decay: Sanhan can change how an object currently is. Food will become fresher, armour will become undented, and flesh will be woven back together. Likewise, she can inverse this process. Food will rot, stones will turn to sand, and old wounds will reopen.

𒌒 Heat/Chill: Sanhan can imbue an object with heat or steal the heat away from it.

[Fluffy Bunny]

Personal Information
Name: Dragomar Phentalux

Titles: Drake/The Red Drake

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: August 28th

Hobbies: Sports(not so much anymore), Woodcarving, Researching History and Folklore (specifically looking for ways to break curses hoping to find a way to break the Class C Curse, but with the vast resource thatvis the academy library, he's certainly developed it into a hobby...)

Height / Weight: 6'2" / 212 lbs

Appearance:

Personality: Drake is bitter, even though he tries not to be. He wants to be seen. He wants to be appreciated. He has been let down by a lot of people, and doesn't expect much from other people. He doesn't really trust anyone else to have his back when it matters. So, he has a bit of a reputation for being a fair weather friend on top of his antics.

Oh, and he has antics.

He is barely able to keep his own emotions under control. It's more like they control him, actually. When he's angry or down, it's all scathing criticisms and bleak humor towards anyone and everything. But when he's proud or happy, you will have a great time just being near him, the smiles, encouragement and heartfelt compliments roll off of his tongue like wheels of generosity.

The truth is that deep down he judges himself with standards that would make an ancient Revanian Inquisitor ashamed of how lax they were in torturing heretics. He has trouble forgiving both others and himself.

History: Born on a farm, a few miles from Genelogia but still legally a part if the city-state, Dragomar is the son of a soldier father (Comander Argus Phentalux) and a mage mother (Verana Arilion). They were not Legends. But they were dutiful and honorable citizens of Genelogia who gave their lives defending their community from a bandit attack. The attack was led by a fallen Legend by the name of Tivus Erandren or The Bleak Smile. The Bleak Smile was a former graduate of Avalice, who had been a member of The Miracle Seven in his year. But after graduation he grew from an arrogant prodigy into an insatiable, power hungry villain. The skirmish which claimed the lives of Dragomar's parents was the first of many which eventually led to the other six of The Bleak Smile's Miracle Seven being called upon to stop him.

This story was not revealed in full to Dragomar until he was a young teen. His aunt Mirys, and his uncle Salator Arilion raised him. And the boy had been intent upon training to be a soldier like his father from a young age. After he learned the full tale of what happened to his parents, he begged for the chance to go to Avalice himself, to become a Legend. So that he could defend people and not die.

When he arrived however, he was unprepared for the distractions he would face. Though, he put in a great deal of effort towards mastering his craft, Dragomar's weakness was the beautiful and talented young ladies all around him. In the first year he broke a few hearts and had his broken in return. But he managed to keep up with his studies no problem And to join the red team of Avalice's Ring Ball extracurricular club. In his first year, however, he was still in class Yarrow.

When he transferred to class Camelia the following year, he didn't believe in the curse. He was cocky, dedicating more time to Ring Ball and skirt chasing than to his studies. But the girls he chased did seem to believe in the curse. And the rejections he was met with caught him off guard. A former classmate from Yarrow, Juna started talking to him, though. She knew A couple of the girls he had dated before as well, so she had to know he wasn't cursed.

Before Dragomar knew it he was back in his groove. His speed and powerful jumps on the Ring Ball field for the red team earned him the moniker The Red Drake. He was falling for Juna too. She really wasn't like the other girls. He was patient with her. Still distracted from his studies, his grades were not getting back in shape yet, but he had hope. So much hope. Until Juna humiliated him by publicly insulting him in front of crowded hallway and admitting that she had been playing him the whole time as revenge for how he treated her friends last year. As if that wasn't enough, she was actually already seeing Edwyn Merac, the Captain of the Ring Ball blue team and Dragomar's former best friend when they were in class Yarrow together.

The rest of the year was defeat after defeat. On the field. In class. In life. He quit the Ring Ball club entirely by the years end, and decided to focus on studying harder than ever before the next year and make up for all his failures in his second year.

This was a noble idea, but his mind had already begun to believe that he was cursed. He threw himself into training so recklessly that he sustained injuries and had to take a week in the Healing Wards. His now desperate attempts to seduce the female student body were becoming creepy. And his refusal to engage in any social hobbies weren't making his third year any easier. Now his grades were becoming very poor. Thanks in no small part to the fact that for the whole second half of the year he spent more time stalking and ambushing Headmaster Augustine and begging him to be transferred out of Class-C, than he did studying combat.

Now, his fourth year is upon him.

@Blu

By the way, what kind of activities do the classes partake it? Is it kinda like Fire Emblem Three Houses were some missions involve the subjugation of bandits?

[Blu]

@OwO All you need to do is change the Mana parameter down to 5. Only students from the Seven have stats above 5. Other than that, accepted~

@Fluffy Bunny No problems here. Accepted~

@AThousandCurses There will be regular field missions assigned to the classes by either the Headmaster or the Seven. Then there's their normal curriculum being taught inside a classroom and training at the class's courtyard.

EDIT: Oh make sure to move your sheets over to the Characters tab once accepted!

Kress Alstein

_{15 y/o | Male | 5'1 | 109 lbs}

Personal Information
Date of Birth: July 13
Hobbies: Studying Magic, Clothes Shopping, Fine Dining, Water Painting, Learning
Personality

Kress is happy and sheltered, someone who doesn’t really mind or care about the Class C curse at all. After all, while others may be at Avalice to graduate (never mind that the chances of graduating is 5%), he’s just happy to be in school at all. Friends to study and play with, teachers to learn from, and the most fascinating subject of all to study. Who could ask for any more, really? So long as he didn’t fail, Kress was pretty much fine with everything else; after all, he’s set for life just based off interest and inheritance alone!

History

Third son of the illustrious Alstein family, a lineage of aristocrat-mages who distinguished themselves seven generations past and had been granted lands and prestige that they cared for and made prosperous ever since, Kress Alstein was the baby of the family, sheltered and cared for by all his older siblings. An adorable, if sickly, kid growing up, Kress’s frail constitution and penchant for getting into trouble had pretty much ended with him never once leaving his family’s estate. Which, to be fair, was 100 acres of orchards, old-growth forests, rivers, and a white sand beach, but to him, accustomed to it all as he was, it still felt confining. His brothers and sisters would head off to Genelogia every week and come back with armloads of new stuff, from good food to fine clothing, and all Kress could do was watch them!

So he resolved himself. He studied hard. He exercised where he could. He made it his first conviction to convince his parents to let him out of the estate, away from all those familiar faces and into the great unknown of Genelogia! A boarding school, perhaps? An academy? No, even better…how about the Academy?

With persistence and results of the magical kind, Kress, after much trouble, got his parents to agree to send him to Avalice. It was the greatest school on the continent, after all, and every one of the professors was a wizard or warrior of some fame. Where else could be safer than the Alstein Estate, if not the school that pumped out Legends every year? A generous donation and five letters of recommendations later, and Kress was finally off on his own!

He didn’t even mind being placed in Class C; he was just happy to be here.

Combat Information
Classification: Magic
Mana Color: A blue akin to ocean water, in that it’s not really a blue after all.
Mana Characteristic: Comforting and peaceful, the ebb and flow of the tides, the soft seeping of the spring, the gurgling of the stream.
Equipment

Abacus – A silvered frame, with nine rods, each containing seven beads. The frame can be altered, lengthened both width-wise and length wise to insert more beads or more rods, but for Kress, his current confirmation is what he’s comfortable with. Each individual rod contains beads that represent the same element, and by moderating the separation and grouping up of the beads, one can cast a variety of magic in a manner more flexible than with book-bound grimoires. The elements Kress currently has are Earth, Fire, Wood, Metal, Water, and Aether.

Sophiel

Personal Information
Name: Sophiel Sargute
Titles: Seagull, Sophie
Age: 16
Gender:Female
Date of Birth: 4/14
Hobbies: Reading, trying out new things, keeping things prim and proper
Height / Weight: 160 cm 50 kg
Appearance:

Personality:
Sophiel holds herself with politeness in mind and tries to be the best person in the room. She'll speak up against bullies, she won't tolerate any mischief, and she will absolutely not tolerate failure. Even when she finds herself with someone she extremely 'dislikes' she will act courtesy and treat them respectfully. Though to call this a facade is partially true, she means and doesn't mean with what she says and does.

Sophiel is heavily an idealist. She has an unwavering faith to her ideals and cannot be swayed from them. Such as her view of justice that was passed on to her by her parents. "Whenever there's evil, you must exterminate it. Leave no trace behind so that peace shall be upheld." Those were the words that were engraved to her heart and took them to the extreme. No matter what kind of cruel acts she commits, she will not hold any remorse as long as her ideals are upheld.

To how she actually feels is a different story. Compared to her facade, she does want to help others whenever they need it and wants people to pay attention to her. However her constantly developing jealous feelings of inferiority keep on manifesting whenever they outshine her, much to her shame. These feelings will constantly peck at her whenever she feels harassed or targeted, and are never to be shared with anyone. She is a logical and emotional person which causes her to be confused whether her feelings are justified or not.

When poked around the topic about her magic, she'll feel extremely flustered and become extremely upset. It's best not to bring it up to her.

History:
Born into a relatively strict family Sophiel was born as the youngest out of her three siblings in the household. Out of the three of them it was easy to tell that Sophiel was the runt of the litter due to her incompetence and weak will. While her magic was the strongest out of the three, her inability to control it made it a wasted effort. She was treated well, but was not pampered like her other siblings. This in turn made her into a meek and timid kid that was most often bullied during her childhood.

Not being favored by her parents and receiving the harassment of her peers caused her to develop feelings of inferiority to people all around her. It did not matter if they were friend, family, or foe, it just mattered whether she felt it or not. This deep envy lead her to feel great shame for feeling these kinds of things.

However, this would all change when an abrupt series of events had occurred. Her older sister eloped and ran away with a man that had deeply charmed her, her older brother was killed when he tried to interfere during a hit and run. The C-Class curse was the cause for this, her parents said as they mourned for their loss. However despite that, what was supposed to be a horrible time for her family didn’t seem to faze Sophiel. She continued as if nothing happened. Secretly though, deep inside, she was elated to hear of their demise. It meant that she had the sole attention of her parents.

With no apparent heir left, except for her, they trained her to be the next heir. Focusing on physical combat instead of magic, they trained her without giving her a moment’s rest and passed their ideals onto her. Not once did Sophiel stop nor did she complain. All she did was train until she felt like she was going to fall apart. She basked in her parent’s attention and enjoyed every moment they shared together. Never had she felt happier in her life.

Once her training had been finished she was enrolled into Avalice to be recognized as a hero among all, a title that Sophiel most deeply wanted. Starting in Class M, she tried her best to support her classmates and be a role model to follow. Despite that she grew envious of her classmates and grew to detest them as time went on. While her facade was well received, it was put to a stop once they saw her in action in combat. The Sophiel in the field was completely different from the Sophiel in spars. She was brutal, merciless, and cruel. Anyone she would consider evil would be brutally mutilated or killed. Not even the teacher could sway her from moving from such brutal methods.

She was transferred to Class C thereafter. There was hope under the guidance of a former Miracle Seven that her current path may be changed. Sophiel wasn't upset that she was being transferred into Class C, in fact she was more than happy to transfer into that class. This is where she would prove that she was superior to her siblings and claim honor for herself and family by graduating under the cursed class.

Combat Information
Classification: Might
Mana Color: Light Green
Mana Characteristic: A beautiful, noble, calm presence that envelopes all that come near to it. Yet, at the same time it’s a disgusting, impure, and distorting feeling of wrongness. A pure contradictory and hypocritical existence.
Equipment:
Leather gauntlets
Magic:
Song Magic: Gathering
Spells:
Inconsistent Chorus: A spell that activates whenever Sophiel fails to use her magic in the correct fashion. Mana is released and gathered and creates a barrier like structure that repels anything that is around Sophiel. This spell also imposes a burden to Sophiel as it forces her to become stationary until the spell has canceled.
Techniques:
Three-way Current: Sophiel pivots and swings out her leg to kick in front of her. Quickly, she sets down her foot and kicks again with her other foot at a low angle and again quickly sets down her foot to prepare for her next kick. This time she aims high and thrusts out her final kick. Each kick has more power than the last one before it.

Bow Gun: Sophiel takes a step back as she pulls back her arm. In the next instance, she lunges forward and thrust her fist forward in quick succession. This move is more effective as an opener in the fight, though if given an opportunity the quickness of this move may be useful mid fight.

Sail Breeze: Sophiel throws out fast jabs aimed mainly at the 'torso' of the target. After throwing many jabs at the opponent she takes a step back, pivots and uses her remaining momentum to thrust her elbow into the target.

@Blu

Is it possible for a character to be classified as Magic combat-oriented, only to grow over the RP and find they're more Might instead.

[Blu]

@AThousandCurses Looks great! Accepted~

@TheWendil That sounds interesting. Go for it!

[KoL]

This just what I needed these days. Good old JRPG fantasy.

@Blu, are you still open for more people?

_{✪ P E R S O N A L I T Y}

Calm, collected, and of few words, Kiara’s natural disposition can be amounted to something unapproachable. While some mistake her demeanor as cold, almost uncaring in its endless wretches of apathy, others find it unnerving and perhaps some front put up to conceal the true self, whatever it may be. In truth, Kiara simply doesn’t enjoy placing attention to herself, least of all when it comes to being flashy in displays of grandiose or magic. Such limelight is for those more brash than she. After all, the fool speaks because he has to say something while the wise man speaks because he has something to say. Or so the saying goes.

Despite these preconceptions of her inner-nature-Kiara finds some amusement in what rumors can be spread about her behavior-she’s quick to assist her fellow classmates and peers. Regardless of the exterior front she may put up, there lies within a warmth and kindness that seeks to help others, regardless of herself. She just prefers to think she helps in small ways or in kinds that aren’t completely obvious at first. If anything else, she likes to think of herself as small help, unseen but certainly not unheard of. She’d much rather step into resolutions only if she has to, when power and actions will speak greater than any words.

_{✪ H I S T O R Y}

A child with no name and no background was how Kiara began her life. Although she couldn’t remember it from such an early age, she was told later that she was little more than a babe abandoned to the wind and rain and left upon the doorsteps of the Reinahrdt family estate. How and why was never answered, nor was it any concern for her. All that mattered was that she was taken in without question and treated just as much as their own bloodline. For as long as she could remember, she was Kiara Reinhardt and with it came a gift for mana.

Over the years, her potential for magic grew greater and greater as she became older, so much so that the Reinhardts insisted she be enrolled into a magical academy. Naturally they would settle for nothing short of the best and so Avalice was marked as a potential candidate. The only problem lay in the fact Kiara had no interest in enrolling or even learning better control over her own magic. For despite being taken in, there was still some yearning to discover her actual namesake. Thus, by choice or chance, it was discovered one of her bloodkin once enrolled into Avalice with the name of “Bastion” as their moniker; perhaps one of her parents.

Such knowledge was the final convincing argument for her to ultimately apply to Avalice, though only under negotiation she would take the Bastion name for herself. Through trial and effort, she eventually made it into Avalice, though only barely. With little control of her magic already, she was placed into the infamous Class C. Of course, that was fine enough for her. Even if it meant starting at the bottom, all that mattered to her was finding some closure to her origins, enrolling as a Reinhardt but graduating as a Bastion.

A sharp tension that grows calmer the deeper one peers into its near-abyssal qualities.

_{✪ E Q U I P M E N T}

Volted Tome: As per all users of the arcane arts, Kiara uses a tome to assist her in combat and all magical properties. Strangely, no matter how much she studies the text, the tome acts like less of a spellbook and more of a conduit between her own magic and the outside world. More often than not, Kiara uses the tome as an item to both enhance her own spells and to regulate her mana as well.

_{✪ M A G I C}

Dynamic Magic: Energy

_{✪ S P E L L S}

✦ Mystic Perception: By regulating the flow of mana through her eyes, Kiara can see the movement of energy and mana that pools and circulates through living things. Such a spell serves no real purpose aside from letting her perceive others' mana more clearly and densely than most as well as giving her an unnecessary light show for her eyes when need be. It does, however, make for good spying via seeing people's energy and mana flow under lowlight conditions.

✦ Railgun: Gathering up mana into a singular point, Kiara will fire off the condensed energy as a single blast. From its usage, it seems the Volted Tome acts as a gathering point to help stabilize her mana before she fires the magic. Physically, it manifests as a bolt of single fire energy blasted at rapid speeds much akin to a single-shot firearm. Ironically, or perhaps unironically, Kiara fires her magic through her pointer finger and thumb held back like an actual firearm.

✦ Schrade Shroud: Drawing in mana towards herself, Kiara can harness and then unleash a rampant surge of crackling electricity outwards with herself as the source and focal point. What results is a defensive spell that can not only shock any who seek harm towards her, but also act as an offensive tool for those who've breached her defense. The greatest defense is, after all, the greatest offense as well.

_{✪ T E C H N I Q U E S}

✦ Self-Cast: Focusing her mana, Kiara can direct the flow of its energy inwards instead of outwards. As a result, her physical reactions and prowess are increased. So far, it's manifested as increased speed and agility, allowing her to dodge and react much quicker than usual when in use.
