@Bishop You have to post a character sheet in the OOC for review before placing it in the character section.

Nemo quickly followed Felix through the portal and away from his prison for good, or at least Nemo hoped it was for good. The pleasant view of the inside of Felix's cabin was a sight for sore eyes after so long in a box. After leaving the counter magic area, Nemo didn't waste any time to finally use some of his spells once again.
Nemo held out his right hand, the immediate area around it seemed to light up and displace before he closed his hand into a fist. A small bright white glowing crystal ball appeared in his palm once he opened it. It was identifiable as a concentrated mana crystal to anybody with intermediate knowledge of arcane items. However instead of using it in the traditional sense, Nemo lifted the golf ball sized bauble up above his head and opened his mouth. He made the same "ahhhh" noise the doctor tells you to before dropping the thing right into his mouth and swallowing it whole in one gulp.
For a few seconds the action seemed to have no effect, but soon enough Nemo's white eyes began to glow softly. He contorted and stretched his whole body a few times as the result of his ability began. Nemo's body began to rapidly reshape itself back to a healthy condition; reversing the effects of being in the prison cell for so long.
After the ordeal Nemo dropped his hands to his side and let out a sigh. "Much better." He said with closed eyes and a small chuckle. After hearing Felix he opened them and spoke. "I might have some questions, but right now I'm long overdue for a good shower. I will return shortly." Nemo commented, making his way upstairs and choosing a room.
About ten minutes later Nemo returned from his shower and walked down the stairs. "After thinking about it I do have one question, Felix." He announced. At this point Nemo had canned the rags he was wearing from prison, probably destroying them, and replacing them with some of his own clothes. (Everything from the character sheet minus the scarf and jacket.)
He ran his hand through the back of his hair, brushing over one of his cylindrical silver beads before resting the hand in one of the pockets of his rather flashy Tyrian purple pants. He had armed himself with his revolvers at this point two, one holster on his belt, and one holster attached at his side to a leather shoulder half harness.
"On the parchment you showed me earlier... I couldn't help but notice there was one name above me. You also seemed to find it humorous that a specific woman's and my name were on that list as well. And yet, there wasn't anybody who came with you to my cell, and nobody else here either. This sparks my curiosity, so why don't you indulge me?" Nemo explained.

SC is currently under construction.
Question on Scholars of the Societas Academia. Aside from their usual tasks of researching the arcane (and its wide realm of knowledge) and creating new spells, are they limited to the spells they produce or discover, or can they utilize spells and skills from other aspects or factions?
The only faction that has it's own separate spell group is the Disciples of Salem with the counter-magic arts. And since they're not exactly "spells" in the traditional sense, it's going to be limited to just members or past members of that faction.
Aside from that the I suppose the members of other factions will have more of their own stylistic choices with spells in a way. I.E. Crucifixes with the Catholic Magi, Old Ones themed magic with the cult, Pagan religion and tradition styled magic with other unnamed things.
Due to the nature of the Societas, to me it makes sense that they would have a lot of those spells archived and could use them themselves if they studied enough. But I'm not sure what @Prodigal Son's opinion on it is.
Well we all can't be happy go lucky adventurers now can we? Besides you don't go about digging through eldritch knowledge without coming out with a few scars. I can take it into consideration but at least let me finish the character before judgments are rendered. I swear he's not a serial killer.
Sounds fair
I might be interested...
Sounds good, feel free to post a CS in the OOC for review when you're ready.
Good to see we got it started.
Nemo pushed himself up from the floor after his restraints were taken away. "Peachy." He replied, turning to look upwards once he heard what sounded like loud footsteps from above. Seems more guards had begun to mobilize to their position, and fast. "Well Glasius, looks like we better make our grand exit." He commented.
As the two guards continued their approach on Nemo's cell, they were stopped dead in their tracks when a disturbing "Yahooo!" like screech came from the inner sanctum of the room. Moments later Nemo rushed out from the shadows of his cell and into the light. Outside of the room there wasn't much. It was just a long dark dungeon hallway leading up to his cell, and a few light fixtures.
Nemo used his rushing tactic to get the first move in before they could react. He outstretched his arms and grabbed both of the guards necks in a choking like fashion, using his forward momentum to push them both to the floor violently. Nemo immediately continued on, doing a forward roll to get back on his feet.
One of the guards was quick to retaliate. "Shit!" he yelled as he slammed his palm on the floor to create a binding trap spell on the floor of the hallway in Nemo's path. The trap was big enough to encompass the whole floor.
Nemo noticed the trap and evaded it by jumping up, grabbing one of the light fixtures and swinging over the trap. He dismounted with a perfect back-flip.
One of the guards teleported in front of Nemo while the other had to wait a for the trap to fade. The guard began to fire off restraint spells to take him down. Simply yelling "Stop!" as he did so.
Nemo dodged the first blast to the right, then dodged the second one to the left. He was almost at the guard now, causing fear in his eyes as he knew he only had one chance left given their distance. All the while Nemo let out a rather sickening laugh as he closed in, he had the look of pure killing intent on his face.
The other guard was too busy dodging the collateral restraint spells that flew past Nemo to help. However right before Nemo could reach his comrade, the last blast his partner shot connected with his chest. The stun seemed to drop Nemo to the floor like a bag of bricks. After a few seconds of silence, the guard broke it by asking "Did you get him?"
"I... I think so." The guard replied.

Free from his restraints, Nemo slowly stood up from his sitting position to let the remnants of the shackles fall to the floor. He stretched his arms out before cracking his neck to each side. "If that is the picture you wish to paint, I will carry it out to my best ability." He replied calmly. "The sooner I can get out of these rags the better." He added as he readied himself by the door.
"A deal, huh?" Nemo said before pausing, taking in all the details of what Felix said and inspecting his list. His eyes allowed him to see it quite well despite the lighting. "The calming beauty of darkness can only be appreciated for so long. And my imagination hungers for inspiration. I desire to create again." He explained. "If you give me the chance to appreciate new beauty, it's only right for me to repay you. For those reasons I accept your offer. You have my word, and my services."
