Long Term Character

Name: Calvin West (goes by Cal)
Appearance:Click me
6 foot and lightly pointed ears
Age:19
Traditional Magic or Draconic Arts or Both: Both
Room: 1
Rank of the Basic 4 (Fire, Water, Earth, Air/Wind): ((For future use))
1)Air/wind
2)Fire
3)Earth
4)Water
Likes:Food, red, science
Dislikes:Snooty people, being slow
Personality: A intelligent guy, he is quite awkward around people, though he is pretty sociable. He is quite confident in himself and tends to be humorous in nature.
History:
Cal was born on a rainy day to a teenage woman with no significant other, she had slept with some man with some ear deformity with a smooth voice. When Cal finally arrived from her onto the mattress she stayed on, she knew she could not care for him. Knowing this, she dropped him off at a foster home with a tag around his neck that held his name and his birthday. (He still wears the military dog tag and has updated it with his blood type to follow military style) The woman rang the door bell and ran. She was never seen or heard from again. Once in the foster care Cal found himself raised by people who cared, but had too many other kids they had to care for. Cal was never adopted, rather every family that came through found him cute, but were off put by his smarts and his personality. He got to the point where he seemed to accept that he wouldn't be adopted, so he tried getting closer to his foster siblings...to no avail. He was the nerd with the pointy ears and the lanky shape (at the time). So he pushed himself through school, getting to high school and graduating early. (where he had a major growth spurt and suddenly got some female attention, but he was too awkward to be able to really get a girlfriend) He then went into forensics and got a degree, finding that he loves this type of work and is able to do it well. Being in a place where he feels he belongs, his awkwardness has settled quite a lot. Being able to talk to people easier and even gained a lot of self confidence, however, his smarts can spill out in buckets when prompted.
He has no idea he is half pixie, all he knows is that his ears are pointed, he has quick reflexes (which paid off in gym.) and that he has to eat...a lot.
Pet desired: unknown-he has never had any animals ((Learn in Orientation))
Other:(Follow the rainbow.)
-Heightened reflexes
-extremely high metabolism

[Krinos Solstice]

Name of Creature: Aqua Dragon

Your name to remember you by: Krinos Solstice

Animal Type: Semi-amphibious Reptile

Species: Dragon

Magical Affinity: Water

Habitat: Lakes are its primary habitat, but several have been found in deep enough rivers.

Food: Meat, fish, and fruit.

Lifespan: 7-20 years depending upon gender.

How it bears its young: Eggs, which they lay at the bottom of the lake or river bed, usually laying 5-7 at a time.

How long young stays with its mother: The young stay with their mother for three months.

Notes: Aqua Dragons are a rare breed of dragon, and only those they feel they have a connection with may see them. Their first appearance was recorded by the Knight Family on an exploration mission, in which a youngling had made itself known to the individual, and thus followed them from then on. While their primary habitat is water, they are capable of moving over land, as they have the legs to do so. At the end of their tails, they have fins, which are clearly used for swimming. Don't be fooled by these gentle creatures, they are vicious when threatened, and are known to spray powerful jetstreams if need be.

They are loyal to only one person, and as a result, the person is given a unique brand upon them. The brand varies from person to person, though it's usually in the form of a tattoo somewhere discreet. While Aqua Dragons are loyal, they are also the hardest to train, and students selecting this dragon are strongly advised not to make this choice lightly. There are two types of eggs, one is deep blue with red and white specks, which signify male dragons. The other is a black egg with blue and pink stripes that cross over each other, which signifies the females. While the males grow quickly, they also tend to have a lifespan of only seven years. However, these dragons are usually the most powerful by their third year of living. The females on the otherhand, take up to five years to mature, and another five before they reach their full growth. That said, females are typically alive for as long as twenty years. Adult dragons are typically no larger than half a house size, and about as tall as a tree. Younglings however, are usually no bigger than half the size of an average person.

Younglings tend to associate with one another, often forming strong bonds through telepathy, the same way they do with their masters. It is recommended, and even encouraged, for students with the same dragons to group together for the development of these incredibly social creatures. While their diet consists of meat, fresh fish and fruit, there are some dragons who refuse to eat meat. These dragons, should you have one, should be encouraged to eat meat. Meat is the best source of vitamins and nutrients that they need to grow with, though there are alternatives to the meat if you cannot get them to eat it. Certain plants can provide the same vitamins and nutrients, so not all is lost if you just so happen to have a semi-herbivore Aqua Dragon.

Young:

Youngling

Adult:

Adult

Suggested equipment: For the younglings, it is mandatory you have a special training collar and leash for them, for they are quite disobedient once they hatch. The collar and leash are magically imbued with two elements, for training purposes. Water is sprayed on them when they are obedient and listen to their owners' commands. Air is blown on them for a brief moment at an accelerated rate if they are disobedient and refuse to listen to their owners' commands. While the time of the blast is not enough to do any serious harm, it is enough to grab their attention and cause ice to form on their face, more specifically around the mouth and eyes. Once they are obedient, the reward of fresh water will always clear the ice away.

For the adults, depending on size, it is possible to ride them. Females tend to be the typical choice for those seeking the extra challenge of training them to carry their owner. For this, you will need a specially designed saddle. Due to the unique shaping of each adult female, they have to all be custom fitted for their saddle. Males tend to be more like dogs, they prefer to stay by the side of their owners, mostly due to the fact they are smaller than their female counterparts. A matured and well trained male will not need it's leash and collar, though should one not have been trained correctly, it will be mandatory for the owner to keep it leashed until further notice. Especially when out in public.

Long Term Character

Name: Dar "Aqua" Knight

Appearance: Dar

Age: 30

Position: Teacher of Creatureology and Water Magic

Rank of the Basic 4 (Fire, Water, Earth, Air/Wind): ((For future use))
1) Water
2) Air
3) Earth
4) Fire

Likes: Nature, peace, Aura, teaching, plants.

Dislikes: Fighting, his family, fire.

Personality: TBR

Background: Dar comes from a long line of successful water users, each generation always receiving the nickname Aqua, a nickname they all carried proudly. His adeptness at the magic was beyond those of his former classmates, and upon graduating from the old academy, he was offered a position as an instructor in the new one. Dar happily took the job, wishing to impart his wisdom on the younger generations or water users. Though he was adept at water magic, he paired it up with creatureology studies, deciding the combination was a perfect fit given his family's access to numerous creatures. As he progressed in his studies through the old academy, he began to take interest in becoming one of the foremost experts in Creatureology, specifically involving the Aqua Dragons. Despite the positive life he has, he carries a dark secret from his past, something he keeps buried deep below the surface.

Desired pet: Personal Aqua Dragon named Aura(5 years of age).

Other: Dar keeps a photo of his previous Aqua Dragon, Titan, on his desk in the Creatureology classroom. Titan is Aura's father.

[BlackPanther]

@Krinos Solstice
....i just kind of stumbled upon this...and saw that you happened to be in it....and then thought of a character and became trapped within the realm of possibilities so meh XD

[Aisling]

@Krinos Solstice

This Academy has only been around for 4 years but you could have been from the Academy that was destroyed.
Both are accepted.

[Krinos Solstice]

@Aisling Alright, I'll fix his history so that he had graduated from the old academy. That should solve that little discrepancy.

[Aisling]

@Krinos Solstice

Thanks! Time to head to bed since I am getting up early.

[Krinos Solstice]

@Aisling Goodnight!

[BlackPanther]

*Rubs hands together*

[Aisling]

@BlackPanther

It will be as good as the players are. They more effort that is put into the RP, the better it gets. At least in my opinion.
