I would not mind if you did. The last thing I want to do is keep yall back.

The Unwanted.

Due to my job I wont be able to post 'till next week. I will have my phone on me, so I'm able to access the internet. But my posting abilities will be limited to my phone. I doubt I can get a meaningful post using that tiny thing. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Talk about awful timing.

I doubt I can get a meaningful post using that tiny thing. I can definitely try, but don't expect much. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

"So, I'll assume that were all second years here? That being the case, that'll mean the sacramentum do you two have any plans in place, for your future partners, I mean? As far as I'm concerned, I'd be satisfied with a Familiar that's willing to work with me."

“No plans really,” said Clyde as he rubbed the back of his neck. He was slowly getting used to the presence of Lilac despite her not talking to him. But he appreciated the fact she had not run him off like so many others. On the topic of the sacramentum, Clyde was not quite sure what he expected or what he wanted to expect. His parents were a mage and familiar pair, both of whom met one another at this very same academy. Clyde always dreamed about a story book romance such as theirs, but his timid and fearful nature would make that impossible. It was a lovely wish that would remain in his dreams until he could find confidence in himself. At least, for now, he prayed his mage would be a nice person.

“Long as we get along, I'm fine with whomever I'm bonded to. It's excitin' to think about. A bond that's never been felt before until now. I'm curious to see what it's like.”

"As for my wishes towards my familiar, I only wish him to be a well-mannered person that would not annoy me. Like you, I wouldn't care what ability he might have. I would mostly use him to learn my spells after all.”

There was nothing Clyde could say about that. Though, he felt a bit degraded for a moment, he let the feeling slip away. After all, that is exactly how Clyde felt about himself. Mages and familiars are considered equals in normal society, but the boy always felt rather subservient to others. If his own partner decided Clyde's only worth was to be a tool to further their own powers, as long as Clyde got his gym time in he would not mind.

“That’s really not ok to say.”

The newcomer stood 5'6, noticeably shorter than both Clyde and Leo, but taller than Lilac's 5'0 frame. His hair was slicked back and glasses rest upon his nose. He did not look to have a mean bone in his body, but it was clear he took offense to what Lilac had said. There was potential for disaster on epic proportions. Clyde's eyes shifted from left to right quickly trying to think of a way to defuse the situation.

“The bond between a mage and their familiar is something to be respected. They’re not there to simply be used by you.”

“I'm sure Lilac didn't mean any disrespect to the bond,” said Clyde with a nervous chuckle. “It's just that, ya' know, familiars are needed by mages to learn spells. Call it a different choice of wordin'...”

Sorry @TheHangedMan. Will definitely get a post up later today. It has been a long week for me.

St. Fortuna's Academy for the Higher Arts

"I could run. But that's not right. I already offered to help with 'er bags. Just ditchin' 'er like that'd be rude. I could make an excuse, but that'd be lame, man! Seems that's the only way out... guess I'll have to tell 'er I'm on fire or somethin'."

Just as Clyde contemplated how he was going to light himself on fire, his saving grace came in the form of a 6'5 tall boy with wavy hair and sharp eyes. He quickly took control of this one way conversation and greeted the girl as if the two were well acquainted with each other.

"Hello Lilac, and good morning. I'm Leo, we've met before at one of your fathers functions?"

He spoke with a comfortable formality but had this constant frown plastered across his face. Clyde momentarily raised a brow before returning his face to normal. Did he do something to make this guy displeased? Clyde looked to himself then back at the other students around him. It was no lie that Clyde lacked fashion sense. Here he was wearing a leather jacket with a simple t-shirt underneath, and all around him were students dressed to the nines. Most importantly, these students looked good in their clothes. The boy was not poor by any means, Hell, his admittance to the academy was proof of his well off background and excellent grades. But the feeling of inadequacy swelled in his chest like the birth of a tornado. Winds of self-doubt drifted above him, twirling, spiraling, wildly gaining momentum as-

"And morning to you as well. Leo de Coeur, and you are . . . ?"

Oh, right. Internal monologues would have to wait until later (and when he's alone). Clyde smiled widely with a friendly demeanor and took Leo's hand with a firm shake. Surprise leaked onto Clyde's face as the handshake was returned with a strong grip, no doubt the boy keeps himself in shape. If there is one thing Clyde can appreciate it's strength.

"Pleasure to meet ya', the both of ya'. Name's Clyde Christopher Lee. Mr. Lee if ya' wanna be formal 'bout it, but Clyde's just fine."

A strong sense of curiosity pinged in his head as he looked at both Lilac and Leo. Specifically, if they were mages or familiars in training. The boy was a strong one, no doubt about that. If he was a familiar, perhaps his ability was tied with athletics. Could he run super fast? Or maybe he could lift over two tons! It was exciting to contemplate what Leo was capable of. If he was a mage, Clyde could see him controlling something like the earth itself, throwing rocks from right underneath the ground, and if he was powerful enough, move entire mountains! It was fun to run through the scenarios. But that gal...

There was definitely something different about her. Not in the normal sense, but something about her terrified Clyde to the very core (though, all women terrify him to the core). There was no way that she was a mere human. No. She is death incarnate. She may be able to hide behind that petite frame and radiant beauty that would make the gods jealous. Clyde could see right through her. She probably had the power to take souls! A demon in disguise, a wolf in sheep's clothing here to feast upon the lambs. And Clyde is not a sheep! His mother told him so when he was three years old. That must be why he felt so weak and powerless near her. She was practically sucking the life from his body-

"Stop thinking that nonsense," Clyde scolded himself. "You're a damn idiot to think she ain't a regular human."

Clyde attempted to smile at Lilac but he caught her eye and quickly backed off.

"Death, destroyer of worlds, spare this husk of a man."

A massive boy stepped off of the train with a sigh. He reached out with both arms as far as they could, stretching his muscles, and bellowing an obnoxious yawn from the depths of his diaphragm. It was like watching a bear come out of hibernation greeting the beautiful sky with a lazy grin and sleepy eyes. After popping a few kinks in his neck, Clyde Lee threw his fists in the air shadow boxing an unseen opponent in front of him. The excitement of a new year could hardly be contained inside his body. This was not going to be a repeat of his lonely first year. He had spent his first term at the academy secluded and friendless. It was miserable to say the least, but this term will be entirely different. This term he would be partnered with a mage! Even if his efforts to make friends did not bear fruit, he will have at least one person by his side. His eyes scanned around him to the other students, many of which were smaller than him in both height and body constitution. After all, Clyde did look like a monster of a boy. His musculature was well defined, shoulders broad, and wild untamed hair gave him the appearance of a ruffian.

The other students definitely gave the boy a wide berth. The boy easily carried his dufflebags with both arms and comically twirled about the streets lined with rope. Clyde walked at the edge of the path created by the town's peacekeeping force and smelled the lovely flowers growing upon the hedges. Their aroma was a lovely change from the heavy fumes carried by the coast in Colbar. Such an earthly and sweet aroma that reminded one that they were alive. Songs of the birds overhead brought a goofy grim to his lips and eased his racing heart. The boy danced, and skipped, and hummed a soft tune as he made his way towards the academy with ebullience. But his own reflection in a few windows made him stop dead in his tracks.

"What am I doin'?" he thought to himself. He looked like a complete fool swaggering around town like he had no clue. "Be cool, Clyde. Cool like a cucumber. Cool like the underside of a pillow. Cool like a fool in a swimmin' pool."

His brown leather jacket went well with the hide rancher boots on his feet. Coming from Colbar, this made him look very different from the rest of his friends back home. The clopping sounds from his boot heels made a rhythmic cadence that matched his confident stride. Being taller than many other students, sometimes he would go past others without noticing their existence. One such person was a little lady that he accidentally bumped into. Clyde noticed a little thump to his chest and looked around for a moment believing he had accidentally walked into a shrub. But it was not a plant. Quite the opposite in fact. It was a person.

"Oh, sorry 'bout that missy," laughed Clyde. "I can be very oblivious to others somti-"

Female.

She was a short gal with soft features to her face. Her hair flowed down her shoulders like fine silk, gold like a vast field of wheat that shined with a radiance brighter than any stars in the night sky. Crystal blue eyes that seemingly pierced through Clyde's outer shell as if his persona was made from paper and glass. His heart twisted in his chest in a vice-like grip of nervousness and fear. It was a habit of his he could not break. The boy was not quite deathly afraid of women, but it was something about them that made him tense and anxious. His eyes scanned around him for a quick escape but there was none to be found. The damned town suddenly turned into a tight corridor with no end in sight. He could practically feel sweat form at the edge of his brow and his hands quivered as strength left his body.

"Say somethin' to get yerself out of this situation, ya' idiot."

"N-need, uh, help with them bags?" asked Clyde with a nervous twitch.

"Good job, sport," he thought sarcastically.

Clyde stands at 6'2 with a large body for a boy his age. He weighs around 195 pounds of pure muscle and has lightly tanned skin. His dark hair is usually kept in a wild mess like a lion's mane and his eyes seemingly fixed on a lazy stare. He is considered by most to be an unattractive man by conventional standards. His eyes are a bit too large for his head and his ears stick out comically. Has a tattoo of a fish hook on his right deltoid that is always concealed by his clothes.

Cool as a cucumber and laid back like a recliner are ways to describe Clyde. Or at least his outer shell. In truth, Clyde is a rather emotional child on the inside and often misunderstands those around him. He tends to avoid confrontation when it concerns himself, allowing others to bully him physically or verbally. But if those close to him are threatened, he sheds away his outer shell revealing a fierce monster underneath. However, a good ol' fashioned apology goes a long way. Clyde tries his best to not hold grudges. He enjoys the company of others and does his best to speak to new faces. But he is a bit awkward with his words and clumsy ways. The boy takes pride in his own physical abilities preferring to not rely on his abilities if necessary, which is why he enjoys lifting at the gym.

Clyde has a problem speaking to any female or those with feminine appearances. His words become stuttered and his focus becomes a bit lost. This is prevalent with women his own age or close to it. He has an easier time speaking to much older or younger women such as teaching staff, children, or parents. He also has a hard time expressing his emotions which is why he keeps such a calm and chilled demeanor. The boy has a habit of over talking, being too nosy, or giving people unwanted nicknames.

Clyde Lee comes from a wealthy family with riches based upon the fishing industry in Colbar (his hometown). As a young lad, he and his siblings would often go down to the ocean and fish their days away. Spending his days under the sun, Clyde grew into a strong boy able to haul in large creatures from the waters and carry heavy loads upon his shoulders. His family is made of strong mages and familiars that were very supporting of one another. His parents and siblings take pride in their magical or ability finesse whereas Clyde was always a bit different. The boy loved to work with his hands and perform without the aid of abilities or magic. Because of this attitude, Clyde spend many hours working out or pushing his body to peak performance. He also spent many hours practicing his favorite sport, boxing. Thus, the majority of his stories consist of beasts he hunted, fish he caught, and tales of bravado in the face of danger. Generations of his family attended Saint Fortuna's Academy, and thus came Clyde's turn. Coming from a wealthy family certainly made the process easy and Clyde has definitely kept up with his studies to be granted admittance. He hopes to make his family and future partner proud.

Despite having a strict diet regiment, Clyde has a massive sweet tooth.

Quiz Answers

_{1. What is your character's greatest regret?}

---

---

Somewhere that is famous for their baked goods. Though Clyde tries his best to keep it a secret, he always wanted to tour a place where he can eat sweets to his heart's content.
