[OOC] The Academy of Solomon

[fantasyfan28]

I would like to ask a question, would there be the possibilty of having an older student (one who might have already graduated) or a teacher of sorts accompany the group when they go out on their assignments. (Kind of in case they got into too much trouble or overwhelmed etc as a sort of emergency back-up/rescue/first aid. I am asking about this as I would like to join but might end up with limited access to a computer at the end of this month and most of next due to going away. Thanks for your time in reading this

@fantasyfan28 More than likely not, they expect students to die and it's a way to get the best of the bunch. If things get in to deep students can contact the Academy and Hunter better suited can finish the task. Generally the mission students undertake are not world ending... Most of the time.

@Apollosarcher

MOST of the time D:

[Apollosarcher]

@VocabTheir have been cases... Like the time the time three Pendragons gave up their souls to kill an Archdemon who in turn consumed their souls leaving only Excalibur and the demons corpse. The demon had actually put mind controlling runes in a lot of demon hunting books and the generation of demon hunter would have actually been slaves to demons.

[fantasyfan28]

Ah I see, ok then no problems.

[Apollosarcher]

Alright I will probably put the first post up in the next 24 hours.

Name: Keira Dalthier

Appearance:


Gender: Female
Age: 15
Type: Godly
School: Demon Hunter

Magic/Weapon(s):
*Prayer of Astyr - First Stanza: The flow of life is eternal and shared by all living entities that reside naturally in our world. When one understands the flow of life within all living things, one can command it. Life energy can be taken from a dying creature and transferred to another, strengthening them and healing wounds. The flow can also be hindered in the bodies of whole and living beings, weakening them and causing pain.

*Prayer of Astyr - Second Stanza: Demons and the undead are unnatural. Abominations to Astyr. This Stanza is anathema to these perversions of life, burning them from the inside and binding their movements until they can be slain.

*A simple, unadorned dagger, used as much for rituals as for self-defense.

*While not actually magic, as a Priestess, she is trained in non-magical healing.

Bio: Taken as an infant by the Church of Astyr, Goddess of Life, Kiera was found to be blessed with vitality, overcoming a disease that would have killed a lesser child. Thought to be touched by Astyr, she was raised and trained by the church to be a Priestess of Astyr. When she turned fifteen she was sent to the Academy of Solomon, to ply her power in service to the world and Astyr. She knows all four hundred and sixty two stanzas of the Prayer of Astyr, but at present is able to empower only the first two.

Note: The Prayer of Astyr, able to control life, can be perverted and twisted into Necromancy. As such Necromancers and the Undead are the absolute worst evil imaginable to a servant of Astyr.

@Nanashi Approved.

Alright first IC post is up and the ball can start rolling. I have not posted my character doing anything but rather things you would all know and a description of the school. Feel free to bring yourselves in however you like and figure who you'll be rooming with. Once everyone has that down your all meet your teacher and get your mission, I promise I will not try to kill you... To much.

[Temporary]

@Apollosarcher do we have a posting order or something, or can we just post straight after someone else posts?

[Apollosarcher]

@Vocab feel free to respond to others as needed, just let one or two posts happen before you do. So we don't fill it up with just two people having a conversation.

[Temporary]

Do we have a specific team we are assigned to, or are we all in the same one?

[Apollosarcher]

@Vocab We will be one team.

[Magnato]

How will rooms be set? Because I'm a bit clueless right now

[Frettzo]

I'm thinking there's a circular hall and rooms are just there. Each room houses two students and the entire hall houses the team. Have you ever played Skyrim? I'm thinking about the rooms in the School of Magic far north.

Kind of like this, just more gothic:

@Frettzo

It'd be cool if it were like the College of Winterhold ^_^

[Apollosarcher]

@Frettzo Yep, the end of each hall is circle and the rooms branch off. Their is also a private bathroom for each room. Every team has one of these where they live and interact.

[Frettzo]

Also, I don't mind people jumping into the interaction between Li and James. We all need to get interaction xD

Name: St Michael
Appearance: St Michael stands at about five feet and nine inches tall. His body is very athletically built and has muscle. He has bright red hair and fierce green eyes. He wears a white tunic with a design like the ones that Christian crusaders wore, and black pants that are good for movement. His footwear is black boots made up of leather and animal fur. He also wears a necklace with the holy cross on the end
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Type: crusader
School: Demon Hunter
Magic/Weapon(s): The Axe of Truth

The Axe of Truth is a divine weapon that is deadly to evil and can get past magical resistance, another of its capabilities is to glow brightly in darkness when he wills it. It also will always return to him no matter how far he throws it.

Bio: There exists a catholic church of fighting priests whose skill in the arts of armed and unarmed combat are legend. The best among these fighting priests go on to become crusaders of The Keys of Solomon. This is where St Michael's story begins. Many years ago when he was an infant the church of fighting priests found him on their doorstep and they took him in as one of their own. From a very young age Michael displayed great potential in the arts of combat and they trained him in their martial art known as the Seven Paths of God. They believed that his in blood was the power of a heavenly angel and gave him the name St Michael for they believed him to be the Archangel reincarnated in mortal form to battle with the forces of the devil.

As he grew older his skills increased and his speed was faster than any of the other priests of the church and his body healed quicker than any normal human. It was then that they revealed to him the secret of how there was more than just him left on their doorstep, but also an axe with divine properties. Feeling that he was ready to use the weapon, they gave it to him and Michael named it The Axe of Truth. With his training among the priests nearly finished, they decided that he would attend The Academy of Solomon where he would train in the hunt of demons and help in the crusade of destroying evil.

Even though he would have preferred to stay with the church, he understand that his destiny called him to other place and life of a hero awaited him. Michael also wondered what the other students would be like and he was especially curious to meet other crusaders. He was incredibly tenacious and wouldn't give up on his hero's journey to become a great warrior against the forces of darkness.
