I’m in Berlin at the moment but I’m back on Tuesday so will start working on a post then!

Phi Mu Lambda: Friendly Wizarding Fraternity

<Snipped quote by Half Pint>

The scouser is accepted. I'm going to assume a lack of concentration when summoning familiars leads to them either appearing as deformed monstrosities begging for someone to end their suffering, or going totally off the rails and eating the furniture.

@Dyelli Beybi

Hahaha I love that idea

Phi Mu Lambda: Friendly Wizarding Fraternity

Managed to finish this today! I'm happy to change the unique spell if this is too far into conjuration rather than defence. I was struggling a bit to think of one.

Fiona

Fiona Zhou

Oneohtrix Point Never - I Don’t Love Me Anymore

---

Name: Fang Zhou - Chosen English name is Fiona

Nationality: English (Scouse)

Sex: Female

Age: 19

Appearance:
Fiona walks the line between goth and punk on a daily basis and expresses herself largely through her appearance. She usually has hair styled into two large buns, with one side dyed a vivid magenta and the other black with tints of a striking electric blue, making her stand out in any crowd. She wears dark, gothic makeup, including black lipstick and heavy eyeliner, accentuating her sharp, confident features.

Her attire is a mix of punk and formal styles, featuring a black and white suit jacket with a sleek, modern cut. Underneath, she wears a white dress shirt paired with a black tie that adds a touch of sophistication to her rebellious look. Around her neck is a spiked choker, and she sports black fingerless gloves. Her nails are painted black, completing her dark and edgy ensemble. She also has plenty of piercings on her ears, along with one through her eyebrow and another on her right nostril.

---

Speciality: Defence

Any Unique Spell: Fiona has the ability to summon familiars to fight for her or do her bidding. She can choose any appearance she likes for these familiars, but often chooses the form of two small winged demons hen she summons them. They are small, and more annoying than capable of properly taking down a full wizard. If Fiona's concentration wavers significantly, her familiars will dissipate, as she loses focus on maintaining their presence. She is still learning to properly hone this unique spell and has in the past been able to summon one larger familiar rather than two small ones, but wasn't properly able to hold this spell for long enough for it to be of use.

Non-Magical Skills: Fionas main skill is her musical aptitude. She is able to play the piano, guitar, drums to a high level and a variety of other instruments to a differing degree of skill. Her main interest is in electronic music though and as a result she spends most of her time using software and hardware hooked up to her laptop to make music. Other than this she isn't a bad cook when she can be bothered and she has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of film. She also grew up doing judo and some of the skill is still there, but hasn't properly done it for years and wouldn't dream of competing.

Misc. Weaknesses: Controlling her emotions, obeying authority, procrastinating

---

Major: Music

Backstory:
Fiona was born in Liverpool, England, to a family of Chinese immigrants. None of them had any magical aptitude, and for most of her life, Fiona was unaware of the magical world. Her family was not rich by any means, with her father working as a laborer and her mother working part-time as a waitress. Caring for Fiona and her older brother was a struggle at the best of times, both financially and culturally. Liverpool was incredibly different from where they originally came from, and while they did their best to integrate, none of them did as well as Fiona.

Growing up, she always struggled to fit in with the other kids at school. Her older brother was often her solace, always there to defend her from bullies. His protective nature made him her hero, and he even sacrificed his own free time to work extra shifts, ensuring she could attend Judo lessons with him. He taught her how to protect herself as best he could and used his own earnings from his part-time job to pay for Judo lessons with her. Eventually, she settled in, but still always felt incredibly different from everyone else around her. It was only a matter of time before she fell into the punk and goth subcultures. They accepted her with open arms, being outsiders themselves, and she found her first friend group she could identify with not long into high school.

Her favorite class was always music. Her family never had the money for instruments; all they had was Fiona's father's old guitar, which he did his best to teach her to play when he wasn't at work. Her school's music teacher was a massive influence on her and noticed her musical aptitude. He worked to develop it, encouraging her to try as many instruments as she could and putting her forward for the school orchestra. Additionally, a lot of her time outside of school was spent playing in various high school garage bands. She often played in local gigs, gaining a reputation for her raw talent and unique style. She got a job while still in school and saved up all her money to eventually buy her first good laptop with recording equipment.

This ignited her love for electronic music, and she spent countless nights in her bedroom experimenting with pirated software and shoddy equipment she had found or put together herself. Her room became a sanctuary filled with wires, synthesizers, and the constant hum of her creative endeavors. Her life was almost entirely dedicated to music until she was contacted by the Magic Inspectorate.

The first meeting was a strange one. It felt like she had a disembodied voice in her head all day, telling her—almost begging her—to go to the park after school. She couldn't get the thought out of her head and, in her desperation, followed its instruction, later realizing this was, of course, telepathy being used on her. There, she met the woman who would soon become her tutor, an American expat named Samantha. Samantha explained Fiona's magical aptitude to her and revealed the secrets of the wizarding world. Under the guise of being a math tutor, Samantha began honing Fiona's magic skills in secret. The lessons were rigorous, but Fiona’s determination and curiosity drove her to master complex spells quickly.

During her time with Fiona, Samantha often talked fondly about her time at Arizona State University. When it came time for Fiona to graduate from high school and choose a university, she made the big decision to move across the water and attend school there. She was eager to start a new chapter in her life, one where she could fully embrace both her musical passions and magical potential.

Hoping this is still alive!

Teen Titans: Sidekicks Unite

@CaptainManbeard I wasn't a part of this, but if it's something your thinking of rebooting or accepting new applicants to I'd be interested!

Phi Mu Lambda: Friendly Wizarding Fraternity

<Snipped quote by Half Pint>

Hello!

This is very much not 17th Century and is set in present time. DB probably just failed to snip something out from his last application template.

As for age brackets, college freshmen are going to be typically right out of high school and are going to generally be between 18-20 depending on their birthday and whether or not they took a gap year out of High School.

If you have any other questions, please just ask!

@Bingelly

Thanks for your reply! I'll get started on an application as soon as I'm free :)

Phi Mu Lambda: Friendly Wizarding Fraternity

Hey! Very interested in this! I'll start working on an app either today or tomorrow, but could I ask what the age ranges are for freshman, sophmore, etc? I'm from Scotland so I'm not sure if your universities are the same ages! Also could I ask in the application it says if you are using a picture it should be something that looks 17th century? Is this set in modern times or in the 17th century?

Young Heroes

Hoping this is still on the go!

Shadow Contract: An Urban Fantasy Action RP

I hope this is ok! I know it's a bit different from what is outlined in the OP, so no worries if non-Japanese characters won't fit. I had the idea of her having attended a similar school in Norway and then transferring, but didn't want to do too much worldbuilding in your world. If this is an option though I might change the last part of her backstory!

The Transfer Student

Name: Hana Balstad

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance: Hana is a striking figure, standing tall with a confident and imposing presence befitting her brash personality. She has a strong, athletic build with well-defined muscles that speak to her years of physical training and competitive sports. Her height and physique make her stand out among her peers, standing at a tall 6 foot 1.

She wears a sleeveless, zip-up top that accentuates her muscular arms and allows for maximum mobility. Her outfit is practical, designed for combat and physical activity, featuring sturdy, dark pants secured with a belt that holds various tools and a knife for utility. The outfit is completed with fingerless gloves that provide a firm grip and protect her hands.

Clothing wise, Hana's style is eclectic to say the least. She mixes athletic clothing that allows good mobility with a punk flair. She is often seen wearing a sleeveless, cropped hoodie that accentuates her muscular arms and allows for maximum mobility, the dark fabric contrasting sharply with her fair skin. She pairs the hoodie with a pair of baggy camouflage cargo trousers and a studded belt. Hana's look is completed with a few accessories such as heavy-duty combat boots, a chain bracelet and a choker with Norse runes along it.

Hana’s right arm is her most distinctive feature. The divine arm extends from her forearm down and appears as a blend of polished stone and tempered steel, a deep steely gray interwoven with glowing veins of gold and silver that create intricate Norse knotwork patterns. In its inert state, the arm resembles a beautifully crafted statue, immobile and seemingly made of stone. However, in combat, the arm undergoes a dramatic transformation. The runes ignite with an ethereal glow, and the veins of gold and silver illuminate intensely and she is able to move it as freely as she would like.

Personality: Hana is loud, brash, friendly and cheery. She is always smiling and joking around, and enjoys getting to know people. Despite her outward appearance, she is really not as scary as she looks and could definitely be described as a 'gentle giant'. She tries her best to bring people out of their shell and foster a solid friend group of people she can trust. The major factor getting in the way of this being her competitiveness. She is fiercely competitive at anything she tries and can often forget her manners when going up against someone in things even as small as a game of monopoly.

However, underneath her confident appearance lies genuine insecurity. Her major insecurity centres around her arm. She feels uncomfortable speaking about how she originally lost her arm or even acknowledging her new one. Her appearance in general can be a bit of an insecurity for her, and while she is much better at handling it now than when she was younger pointing out the fact she is a very tall woman can often irk her.

Backstory: Hana was born in a small town by the name of Stavanger in Norway. Her life wasn't normal from a young age, that was for sure, but it was a happy one. Her father was the owner and head coach at the towns MMA gym, and most of Hanas earliest memories are of her crawling around the mats or watching her father take classes. Of course, she was encouraged to take these classes once she was old enough and she did so enthusiastically.

Her entire life from a young age centred around martial arts and developing herself as a fighter. She'd spend every day after school training with her father and the guys at his gym, developing into somewhat of a tomboy as she got older. Her main focus in life was her training, to the point where her mother often had to have stern talks with her about putting effort into her academic efforts. But to Hana it was all superfluous, she knew her destiny was to fight and so that's what she put all of her time into.

However, her happy life was cut short one day while driving overnight to a BJJ competition with her father. It was late at night and they were suddenly slammed into by a drunk driver. Thankfully neither of them died, but unfortunately Hanas arm was caught in the door as the car flipped and was crippled beyond use. The doctors had to amputate and in the blink of an eye her dreams of becoming an MMA superstar were dashed.

She was fitted with a rudimentary prosthetic and had to completely change the way she lived her life. She was no longer her usual cheery self and fell into a deep depression. She barely ever left her room, and couldn't bring herself to attend her gym teammates matches for fear of breaking down crying.

Everything changed one day while she was walking home from school though. She passed by a grudge attacking a small child and tried to intervene. She wasn't sure if it was bravery or a lack of caring about her own life that urged her to do it, but either way she couldn't let it hurt the kid. Unfortunately in her weakened state the grudge was becoming too much for her, but just as it was beginning to overpower her she was blinded by light as the god Týr contacted her. Offering her a contract, a mystical arm that would allow her to fight the grudges in exchange for her pledge to uphold justice and protect the weak. She agreed and was given her arm and easily dispatched the grudge.

Word spread around her family about the event, and her uncle Andre had informed her of the Tokyo Shadow Academy. He had moved to Japan years ago and his wife had attended the school as a contract holder. She was ecstatic at the chance for a new start and the opportunity to meet others like her and moved as soon as she was able.

Skills: Her main skill was that previous to losing her arm she was an junior amateur MMA fighter with a speciality in grappling. Her hand-to-hand combat skills were impressive, but her wrestling and BJJ were really stand out. Other than this she can also play the bass guitar fairly well and is ok with lead guitar too. She is adamant she is a great singer as well, but it mostly boils down to shouting into a microphone.

Spiritual Energy Grade: C

Contracted Being: Týr

Contract Rank: B

Contract Abilities: Hanas right arm has been replaced with a powerful, divine arm, a manifestation of her contract with Tyr. This arm radiates with the strength and authority of the Norse god, adorned with runes and symbols of ancient Norse mythology, and emits a glowing, ethereal light when in combat. The arm is superhumanly strong, and can effortlessly lift heavy objects and deliver powerful strikes in combat. She can also summon chains of divine energy from her arm, binding and restraining her enemies. These chains are very strong and can be used to immobilize Grudges or pull them closer for a finishing blow. This ability embodies Tyrs aspect of justice, ensuring that those who spread corruption cannot escape.

Cost: Hana gave her right arm both figuratively and literally for her contract. Due to her spiritual energy grade she does not possess the energy available to use the arm outside of combat. When not in use it is inert and rigid as stone, resembling a rudimentary prosthetic arm. Currently she can move the fingers with a great amount of effort on her part, but the effort required is too much for what it is worth. She has instead learned to do most things one handed with her left arm when possible. If she were ever to stray from the path Tyr set out for her and ot pursue justice in all aspects she would also lose her arm and its abilities.

Teen Titans: Ouroboros

Put my post up hope its alright!

@Master Crim I wasn't sure if you'd intended to have had Robin already called the meeting by the end of your post, so put in a little thing before he would have. Completely happy to change this if that's not what you intended though, just let me know.
