I'm still quite new to Korean, so I don't how much teaching will happen. xD
But, I would love to take you up on your offer when things slow down a little!

I should be able to catch up tomorrow night.

I've had 2 first quarter tests, and 2 certification exams over the past week.
Ugh, I'm so ready to be done with it. x~x'

@Crimson Raven

That...

reminded me of this:

{ F a d e | A w a y }

My end goal is to work IT for Civil Service, preferably in some asian nation. As much as I want to learn japanese, I'm probably better off learning Korean instead. It's projected to be in high demand for at least the next 5-7 years.

{ F a d e | A w a y }

Oh'boy is it an upgrade! xD

Right now, I'm underpaid by about 40% compared to current average wages for my career field and experience level. I'm only sticking around because of the health insurance and the fact I can work as much overtime as I want, despite being paid hourly.

Some of the technical certifications exams are online, one of them is written. Once I'm done with them though, I can apply to be a contracted consultant for the military bases in my area, or I can work for the civil service (preferrably foreign services but that would take some work).

@Crimson Raven
Yes, but you could've said it differently. More to the point, there is a line, and I certainly feel like you crossed it.

When you're about to shoot a man in the face, it costs nothing to be kind.

{ F a d e | A w a y }

Life's been hectic for the past few months.

The holiday season is luckily over, but now I have classes and certification exams to worry about. It'll be awhile yet before I can catch a break, but I'm not too worried about it. In fact, I'm pretty happy with where I'm headed.

Bonus points: I may get a civil service job soon!

Avicenna Nemu

---

An impressive crowd was beginning to gather in one corner of the tavern. Merry men, cheering and whistling, circled around a long table and exchanged coin and papers back and forth.

In the center of them, four heavy-hitters were putting on a spectacular show of endurance. On one side of the table sat Nemu, brimming with enthusiasm. Next to her sat a behemoth of a man, almost as wide as he was tall. He wasn't someone you'd casually jeer at or call "fatty". It was plainly obvious that beneath a sheet of hard fat was a wall of muscle ready to snap into action. Across from them, were two shorter, but no less stocky men: one with sharp features and a hawkish stare, and the other was bald and had a full beard framing his his grim expression. Nemu seemed terribly out of place sitting next to three burlesque men with surly dispositions.

In front of each contender were twelve shot glasses lined in two rows of six and one giant tankard filled to the brim with dark ale. Winning the game was simple: drink more than the idiot sitting across from you. Easier said than done, however. Someone had bought out Maude's private stock of homemade 'shine. The acrid vapour rising from the glasses would normally singe nose hairs and sting at the eyes, but tonight's volunteers seemed completely unperturbed.

"Place yer bets boys!" A tall man shouted.

"The name of da game is Maniac Street!" He continued. "First ye got te cross the street and drink yer mate's booze-" He looked at Nemu condescendingly and gestured at the shots lined up on her opponent's side of the table. "-then run home and drink yer own stock 'fore yer mate can." He pointed at tankard sitting closest to her.

One from the audience, shouted 'Damnit Glen! Get on wit it ya daft bastard!'.

"Oi! Shut yer traps and listen up! This 'ere is a fine 'stablishment, so no stabbin', grabbin', smashin' or cheatin'. We play a clean game, so each of yuz is only gonna have one hand free."
One of the other drunkards went around tying each player's hand to a table leg with a dirty cloth.
"Heheh, have to keep it sportin'. Now! ...First bloke to drink all 'is opponent's shots and down his own grog to the last drop, wins. But! If ye waste any o' this brew or can't keep yer liquor down, you'll be payin' fer the lot of it!" The announcer, Glen, gave a stern look to each player.

The hawkish brute, who radiated hostility like a blast furnace, stared Nemu down trying to rattle her. A competitive smile was all she offered in return. Her ignorance was encyclopedic. She had never been intoxicated before, but it looked interesting. In truth, she had never drank any alcohol before, but she wanted to experience it at least once. And what better way to do that than with a drinking game!

"Alright ladies and gents..." The tall announcer regarded the audience with a smug grin and then turned to the contenders. "Let's see who drops first! GO!"

The table erupted into a frenzy.

Awkward arms frantically grabbed for the shot glasses across the table. It took skill or long arms to not spill a single drop. Nemu had neither. While the rest were downing shots like fish gulping water, Nemu treated each glass carefully as if it would break at any moment. The first shot she drank tasted bittersweet and burned like fire as it splashed down her throat. She coughed a few times, but persevered.

How can people even enjoy this stuff? She wondered.

Character Sheet

Guild Membership Card

“Anyone who says stormy days are miserable has never learned to dance in the rain!”

Personality

Sometimes the happiest among us hide the deepest scars.

Nemu seems very bright and cheerful, always smiling and playing around. She's very understanding, despite her sheltered upbringing, and overworks herself in trying to please everyone undaunted by failure or rejection.
However, just beneath the surface lies the unshakable fear of suddenly losing everything. It happened once, and it can certainly happen again. She's seen firsthand what the Librarium is capable of. The guild is her home now, and she will protect both it and her friends with every ounce of power she possesses.
Her fierce loyalty is rivaled only by her insatiable curiosity. She gets into everything--especially the things she's not supposed to. Like a compulsive child, she can't stop herself. It's no small wonder how her friends coined the saying 'Wherever Nemu goes, trouble is sure to follow'.

| History: |

Shen is an old charm-smith from the distant frontier town of Rivant, and Nemu's grandfather. She was raised by his hand, never knowing of her parents. Shen maintained a frustrating silence when it came to them; at best, he offered only a pained expression.
Under her grandfather's care, she was firmly and frequently reminded that she was different, and if the wrong kind of people discovered her, they would never see each other again.
Through avid practice and refinement, Nemu's magical talents grew year after year, but so too did her insatiable curiosity and appetite for adventure. Doomed to live a sheltered life.
One day, restless and bored of her studies, she snuck out and wandered beyond the village walls. But the Pandoran frontier is a dangerous place, but surprisingly it was the Librarium, not hungry beasts, that discovered her. The world went dark, and she awoke to shackles and the company of the Librarium's undesirables and dissidents. The prisoner transport ship that carried them was destined for the gallows.
Were it not for a chance encounter with pirates, she might have met a gruesome fate. The raiders were intent on freeing their own comrades, but one of them, a firebrand figure by the name of Charlotte, took it upon herself to save Nemu as well.
As they escaped on gliding skiffs, her grandfather's warnings echoed in her mind. Would she ever see him again?

| Magic: |

: Fairy Magic : [link]
: Sleep Magic : [link]

Aura

Perhaps the result of the magic's interaction with Nemu's peculiar physiology--the exact cause is unknown--but a small measure of sleep magic leaks from Nemu's body constantly. Living creatures in her immediate surroundings feel drowsy and calmed, but otherwise suffer no ill effects. Moreover, the effects can be ignored easily, just as anyone can work hard despite being fatigued, but they may be less attentive.

Dream Wave

This spell can be cast in one of two ways:
Nemu chants words of power in the traditional Shamira language and infuses a wide area around her with potent magic, which spreads out in an intense wave of silver mist. All living creatures within a few hundred feet falls asleep immediately and begin to dream. The wave of magic travels very quickly, taking only a few seconds to cover the entire area; it is difficult, but not impossible to outrun. Mages with remarkably strong willpower may be able to stave off the sleep effect, but the fatigue will set in quickly as their body is convinced it needs rest. Any obstacle that blocks contact with the mist, such as a magical barrier or some form of spatial magic, will preclude the effects entirely.

The spell wears off after a few hours, and any affected creature that remains asleep for the spell's duration will feel revitalized and empowered upon waking. An affected creature cannot wake themselves of their own accord, but can be woken forcibly by anyone else; if a creature is awoken by any means before the spell's duration ends, it will be fatigued as if denied several nights of rest.

If Nemu cannot speak, she cannot cast this version of the spell.

She can cast this spell as Eye Magic, but it can only affect one creature at a time and relies on eye contact rather than physical contact with the magic. Otherwise it functions the same as the wide area spell.

Dream Council

Nemu can communicate telepathically over long-distance with any number of creatures in the midst of a dream. Moreover, she can allow dreamers to communicate to one another through her magic. If a creature is only lightly sleeping, the messages may seem distant, incomprehensible, or go entirely unnoticed.

My 2nd character would be named Indra. He is going to be a bratty and perverted know it all like me with a father named Denny and a mother named Leslie. His goal is to look for his Uncle, Raijin. He keeps a lot of smut in his Archive Magic. He would be the Cloud Chaser's Navigator~ and he's only 12 years old. About time we have a shota. His official quotes are: "Did you know *insert smartass comment*" and "OH MY GOWI! DEN LES GOWI TO ADVENTURE TO THE CRIMSON LANDS WHERE THERE ARE RAVENS AND ABSURD GRAVITY AND INERTIA! IT IS ALL ALTERED IN THIS TUNDRA, HOLD ON RAIJIN NO BODY IS GONNA SLAY YOU BECAUSE GOD SLAYER'S DON'T EXIST!"
