A Foreword
This is a reboot of an RP by the same name. All credit for the idea, and a good portion of the following text goes to Cynder. With this iteration of the RP, we want to focus on character interaction, just like in the original, but add in a dash of world building. Players will be allowed to add in bits of information about lucis/earth as they please, though planning things out in OOC would be a good idea first. This RP is by everyone for everyone, so have fun!
Introduction
The year is 2066.
It has been exactly twenty years since two parallel, yet unseen worlds, finally made contact with one another. It has been officially nineteen years since these worlds viewed and respected each others differences and soon, it'll be time for the 19th anniversary of peace between this two extremely different worlds. After the very fabric of time and space split, Lucis and Earth, forever separated, became one through a massive breach in the sky.
This wormhole, dubbed by common tongue as the "Black Gale" is home to miles of unexplored wilderness and the infamous "mysterious labyrinths" which are known for appearing randomly, spawning a number of monsters and always changing in design when entered. In order to combat the threat of wildlife, labyrinths and even potential war between the two worlds, a number of academies have begun to pop up all over the areas of the Black Gale currently inhabited by humans.
These academies vary by location, but all have the same general concept -- "the end result is peace." Each school takes a variety of races from both worlds and by allowing them to co-exist and learn from each other, students work together towards graduation. Upon graduation, students are officially recognized as "Gatekeepers", an honor by any form of government and realized by both worlds to be enforcers of law, peace and overall, protection.
You are one of these students. Perhaps you are ordinary or extremely gifted, good with technology, magic, alchemy or people. Either way, you've been chosen by the headmaster of one academy in particular -- the Academy of The Arcane Artes. It is unknown as to why students are chosen, but the academy itself is outstanding by standards with high graduation and some of the most famous Gatekeepers are known to have graduated from there.
That being said, the option is yours to take.
Will you accept the offer?
The Worlds
Earth- Home to humans, who, over the past few thousand years, have advanced their technology to ludicris degrees. With everything from laser guns to giant mechs, humans are able to make up for their weaknesses. They have developed ways to make just about everything but space travel efficient. There are still 3rd world countries, still stuck in a retro-modern era, that ended 50 years ago for most 1st world countries. humans are completely incapable of using magic, at least Earth-dwelling humans, anyway.
Lucis- Home to just about every fantastical race you could amagine, though the most common are elves, dwarves, orcs, gnomes, and goblins. All of the races have their own take on magic. Some learn it, some have it from birth, while some never have it. Lucis is very low-tech, somewhat comparable to medieval. This lack of technological innovation was mostly due to the convenience of magic.
If you create an original Lucian race, you have free reign on world building for that race, though, if someone wants to make a character with your race, your gunnu have to give them a share of the world building.
The Academy
To be updated over the course of time. In the meantime, enjoy your uniforms that just recently arrived in the mail -- just in time for the first day. (all credit to Cynder for the uniform images)
The Letter
The letter is received at the same time for every student. It is dropped nearby the student (such as a windowsill) by a raven, black as
night. It can appear during the night, day, afternoon or elsewise. Should you be a second year student and so on, you receive a variation
of this letter that is simply updated information about you. After this letter is received by the academy, you are to receive a uniform
bearing the academy's crest with the choice of a cloak or coat.
There is a sheet attached that is required for you fill out. When filling it out, please delete all brackets, thanks guys!

1.) You may have as many characters as you'd like and/or can handle.
2.) If you have any questions, please leave them in the thread, PM a GM or visit our chat. You may also request to join the skype group.
3.) I am not the only GM, just go look up, and you can see the loads of people who can judge your character sheets, answer questions, and other things.
4.) Shouldn't be too much of an issue, but there is to be absolutely no powerplaying, metagaming or godmodding allowed.
5.) Avoid speedposting. There will not be a posting order, however, we do not want two pages between the same two people.
6.) Respect Co-Mods, they have all the same powers as GMs. You may speak to us in the skype group if you wish to be a Co-Mod.

11.) Not a rule, but I'd love to see some character development, plot twists, proper grammar and so on.
12.) You may not control another person's character without their permission.
13.) We all control the plot together, so use the chatzy and pm to plan things. Using titanpad to write collab posts is highly suggested.

16.) Post your character sheet here in the OOC, and then, once it is accepted, you can put it in the Character section.
Full Name: Sylus Moriam
Nickname(s): Sy
Gender: Male
Age: 16 human years, 200 elven years
Year: 2
Birthday: September 2nd
Astrological Sign: Virgo
Species: Elf
Class: Ranger
Weapon: A bow and enchanted arrows that serve a myriad of purposes. These are as follows:
fire (erupts in flames on contact with something)
lightning (Pulsing electricity, shocks living targets and is obviously also useful for damaging Earth technology)
leech (drains magical energy from target at a steady rate, causing target to weaken and makes it much harder to cast spells. Only works if it pierces skin, can only by stopped by being physically removed, i.e pulled out)
paralysis (target is paralyzed around arrow site until arrow is removed, as muscles around the area become useless as long as it's there. If shot in the leg, target will not be able to walk as well, if shot in arm target cannot swing weapons using that arm. again needs to pierce skin)
World: Lucis
Short Biography: Sylus grew up quietly in a small elven settlement deep in the forests of Lucis. When the Black Gale appeared, Sylus's father, a well-knon and accomplished adventurer, became a gatekeeper, only to disappear about 3 years ago. Sylus believes that becoming a gatekeeper himself would be the only way to find out what happened to him, so it was a no-brainer for him to accept entrance into the academy. He has a serious attitude when it comes to his studies, as he wants nothing more then to follow in his father's footsteps, and hopefully find him. His mother warned against him going, as she didn't want to lose her son as well, but Sylus sees no other acceptable future for himself.
Personality: Sylus is rather shy around unfamiliar people, especially in large crowds. He slowly becomes more comfortable around people as he gets to know them, and once he has made a few friends he is quite friendly, optimistic and outgoing around them. he is very fond of nature and spends as much time among plants and animals as he can, preferring to study, eat lunch and such around school grounds rather than indoors.
Partner: (TBA)
Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s): Sylus frequently has night terrors, and as such he sometimes avoids sleeping and has a habit of sneaking out of his dorm at night. He will often go out of his way to help people he cares about, often times endangering or exhausting himself in the process. Using his healing magic drains his mental strength and can be quite detrimental to his health. As archery is his only combat skill, if caught in close-quarters combat he will be at a disadvantage.
Skills/Abilities/Traits: Moderately skilled Archer. Knows basic enchantment which he uses to create magical arrows for different purposes, also dabbles in alchemy and can create various poisons to coat arrows with. He is studying druidic magic, which is magic derived from life and nature, and used for the benefit of it. he can communicate with animals fluently as if they could speak, and has a natural gift for befriending them. He can sense energies within living beings if he concentrates, such as magic energy, and life force. This allows him to sense beings that would otherwise be hidden to him, and tell how much life force a being has (how close to death they are essentially). He has learned how to channel his life force into other beings in order to heal their wounds or cure their ailments, however doing so is, for obvious reasons, extremely physically demanding. The energy required to heal another is proportionate to the severity of the wound or ailment. The more energy he uses to heal others, the more he risks passing out, becoming ill or worse.
Other: He has formed a strong bond with a bird he named Feena, who lives in a tree on Academy grounds and that he visits every day. He can play the lute, and enjoys doing so as a hobby.

Species
Human Gran Lich: A subspecies of Lich. While most Lich place their soul in a phylactery to become ageless beings, Gran Lich do so accidentally. Not only that, but most of their soul still remains in their body. A Gran Lich can have it's soul spread to up to 5 phylactery, although a Gran Lich's soul can only be spread to phylactery during it's change into a Gran Lich. Also, unlike normal Lich's, Gran Lich's are just as mortal as they were before turning, it's their phylactery that their soul inhabits that become 'immortal' via complete regeneration. They also gain magical properties based on the Gran Lich and what sort of item they are. Because their souls are split between multiple places, they have some resistance against magic that attacks the soul
Class
Spellsword-A class of warrior that uses magic and blade with equal skill and power.
Weapon
Gran Edge (shown in picture): A razor sharp blade and one of Laxus' phylactery. It was his father's sword before his death. As a phylactery, it can channel Laxus' magical power
Gran Grimoire (shown in picture): Laxus' other phylactery. It is a book with unlimited pages, that only Laxus can read. In it is a complete record of his life, written from his point of view as they happened (events from before he turned are based on his memory). It is also the manifestation of his magic, from which he casts his lightning magic. By letting someone write their name inside the Foreword section of his book, that person can use a small amount of his lightning magic, however this magical cost of this comes out of their own mana reserves. This also grants them immunity to his lightning magic
World
Lucis
Biography
Son of a retired knight, Laxus spent his early life engrossed in his studies. He soon grew fascinated with magic, lighting magic in particular. While his self training in lightning magic was going well, he didn't like the idea of being defenseless in close quarters, thus he learned how to wield a blade from his father, even being given his father's old sword.
His life was pretty uneventful, until a he came across a Lich. One day when he was taking a relaxing stroll through the nearby woods, he was attacked by a Lich who tried to harvest his soul. Laxus tried to defend himself, but he was no match for the much more experienced Lich. As the Lich began to drain his soul, Laxus lashed out with lighting magic at random, and somehow managed to get a lucky het at the Lich's phylactery. With the Lich dead, the parts of his soul that had been drained were freed from the undead fiend. However instead of returning to his body, the parts of his soul instead entered two items on his person; his father's sword, and a blank book that had once belonged to his mother
Personality
Laxus is a scholar and a gentleman. He prefers intellectual pursuits over combat. That said, he isn't afraid of combat at all. While he might believe that women deserve to be treated well, that changes in battle. He believes that outside of anatomy, gender losses all meaning on the battlefield
Partner
Looking for one
Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s)
Laxus' source of power is his two phylactery. While they can't be permanently destroyed as long as he's alive, they can be damaged enough to render them inoperable. Without them, he's completely powerless
Skills/Abilities/Traits
Because the Gran Grimoire records his life, it can function as a form of photographic memory. Also, he turns it's mages telekineticly; he merely has to will it to turn to whatever page he want it to, and it will on it's own. Likewise, he can also control the Gran Edge (and the Gran Grimoire) telekineticly as well. However his control over it drops drastically if it if further then 5 feet from his body. Beyond that length, then only thing he can reliable do with it is pull it to his hand.
As for his lightning magic; while it lacks in raw power, he is quite flexible in how he can wield it
