[OOC] Progressive Arcanum

:) Good. It's kind of funny, my character is the type who hates having surveillance on her. She would know of the teacher wards, and would be keenly aware of the areas they cover, but if she ever found out about these, well... She'd probably have a panic attack, and afterwards would be absolutely sure that the Headmaster was out and about before she did anything outside of her room.

Well . . . let's hope she doesn't find out about that xD (although I kind of want her to . . .)

I image they are, but are the vision wards warded from magic sense which my character has to a degree. Also, if something is hidden from magical sight, is it like it isn't even there or would the person know it is there but not sure what it is?

Well, the poor girl's twitchy enough as it is...

The latter is likely more energy-efficient, changing the "appearance" of the effect so as to make it difficult to discern rather than hiding it completely.

On the subject of the wards, the teachers personal wards are based around their living areas and several classrooms. Like Imp said, these Wards follow the latter, and it's difficult to discern exactly how far the wards can see.

On the topic of the Headmaster wards . . . you wouldn't be able to sense them at all. They're located so far away and interconnect with each other in such a way that even if you could sense them (highly unlikely) you wouldn't be able to tell them apart individually.

[Imperfectionist]

Yeah, they've probably been in place since the school was founded, right? Woven into the stone and stuff.

Yep. There are 14 in total, seven of them are floating on top of the all the towers.

[HellOfALife]

Guess I'll reserve a place for my CS >.<

[HylianRose]

This looks like fun. I'll be working on a CS within the next few moments or hours... or so. Depending on how lost I truly am. I'll try to keep my head screwed on tight however. Lol.

If, when I post my CS, you have any comments on how it can be improved, please feel free to do so just... Be kind about it? I don't particularly like being told the faults of my CSs in a condescending way. Which I'm sure you won't but it has happened before. So, yeah. :D

:) Well, as Hanged said in the opening post, the IntChk thread has quite a bit of background information, so you might want to check that out if you haven't already.

[Leotamer]

Also, Hanged, I am not entirely sold on your idea though will use it if I need to, would the Fae in your world be vain/ego-driven (maybe not all of them, but a group of them) , and is it possible that one of would adopt my character less to use him, but more so as 1. "Look at me, I adopted an orphan aren't I just the best." and 2. "Look at me, " I adopted a wizard who can do cool things." I don't really know why I have such a pessimistic view of fairies, but for some reason I do.

[HylianRose]

@ Impy ( Do you mind if I call you that as well? o-o ) Thanks. I've read through it and have a sort of better understanding for some things. Just... be gentle with me. Lol.

CS WIP

Name: Billie West

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Appearance:

Image

Personality: Soft, yet pointed, Bille isn't afraid to speak her mind when it comes to protecting herself and those she cares about. When a situation is delicate, however, she takes time to develop her thoughts and her words before voicing them because she is aware of the risks of doing so. She has a soft heart and will do most anything for anyone provided she can. This does not, however, mean she is easily walked over. At least, that's what she likes to believe... She can be very gullible and shortsighted when it comes to certain things like... love and relationships. She is often far too trusting than she should be and this will more than likely leave her with a few more scars than a young girl should have.

Abilities: Billie isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to magic and she more often than not finds it backfiring in her face... and the faces of her classmates. Which, in turn, shows why she is in the lowest level classes with the least accommodating living arrangements. But, she's not willing to give up, not quite yet. She has a few other skills besides magic that at least make her useful. She is fairly adept at hand to hand combat, even if it isn't currently very refined. And, she is also pretty good at getting around without anyone knowing she was ever there.

Studying: Alchemy, Pythomancy, and Outsorcery

Interests: Music(Piano and Guitar), Hand To Hand Combat, Horse Riding, and Books (Both Fiction and Non, the latter mostly pertaining to Element Manipulation, Healing and Bodily Augmentation)

Dislikes: Studying, Class, Being stuck inside, Classmates higher up than her, and charity.

Biography: Billie grew up in a town now too far from the school. Her parents were both pretty good with magic. It was the same with her brother. However, she seemed to have missed the family magic gene. She failed most attempts at things that were supposed to be so simple a child could do it. Her brother simply laughed at her and her parents shook their heads in disappointment. In an attempt to prove herself, Billie found her way into Aledine Academy where, hopefully, her magic would improve. She hasn't been here long but so far, the stay hasn't gone very well.

Equipment:

Billie has her own horse, Eva, whom she takes care of whenever she can find the time.

Billie has an outfit given to her by her late grandmother. It is a leather outfit meant to be used for magic rogues, aka Magistraava that are apt at evading hits, Monk's clothes. Billie, as of yet, doesn't know what purpose the equipment serves her, mostly since she's not the strongest with magic and therefore has no use for a Monk's clothes. Though, the outfit could be useful for hand to hand combat as it leaves the wearer agile but protected.

Billie has a necklace from her mother. It is a small emerald gem held up with a silver chain. Her mother hasn't told her what the purpose of it is, but Billie swears there's a rune on it and has been trying to find out what it is ever since she got on the property.

Extra Information:

Billie is the younger sister to an older brother named Elijah. He, like their father, works as a mercenary for whatever client is willing to pay.

...Yeah. Most of that stuff I just kind of.. went with. So if it doesn't go with what you've set out, just let me know and we can discuss stuff. Like what rune is on her necklace, why her grandmother handed her 'Monk' clothing, if we decide that even exists. Just uh... let me know. But... do it gently. ^-^

(I'll probably end up making a lot of corrections to this so... for now, consider it still in WIP mode. Much like my life... I'm constantly a work in progress...)

[Imperfectionist]

Yep, pretty much everyone calls me Impy.

One little thing I noticed in your sheet is the horse. :) As a Pythomancer especially, someone who would have cause and interest in working with animals, I'm sure the school would house her horse in the stables without complaint.

[HylianRose]

I figured that would be something to talk about. Yeah, I didn't know whether or not they would have a problem with it and just decided to say that they would. But if not, I will go ahead and change that little tid-bit.

[Jedly]

I'll be home in a bit, so a majority of my CS should be up by tonight. Gonna have to search endlessly for an appearance.

[HellOfALife]

I'm thinking of making a monk character, but I'm not entirely sure how much it would limit their potential powers >.<, might make two characters to top it all off.

[Shifter_Master]

I hate rereading over my Cs and noting small things I could change to make it flow better or misspellings. I want to fix them but I can't *eye twitch*

But... you can edit the post. You CAN fix them. Right?

[Shifter_Master]

When I get back to my computer I can edit my post, not going to try and edit it on my phone, but the one that Hanged posted up in the accepted section is beyond mt power

[Imperfectionist]

Hanged is a reasonable GM. I'm sure he'll be happy to copy/paste an edited sheet, if you ask him.
