Gimme a Beat!

There's more to the music of this world then meets the eye... or ear, rather. All truly successful musicians have one thing in common: sonomancy. The magic of song. They can infuse their songs with magic, and the effects can be subtle or glaringly obvious. Well, obvious to other sonomancers.

Who am I? My name is Kara, and I'm a sonomancer. I'm also the founder of the Academy for the Musically Gifted, a school for sonomancers to learn to use their gifts and learn how to hide them from normal humans. Not everyone is tolerant of magic. Just look at what happened to the shifters. The humans found out about them, and now they're all gone; retreated so deep into an animal form that they've forgotten how to shift. We have no such escape.

It's my job to ensure that young sonomancers survive in this magic-hating world. Graduates of the AMG are confident and ready to take on the world and make their mark. Every one of them goes on to be a famous musician, some more so than others. Each and every one of them are brilliant, and I couldn't be prouder.

Congratulations, you have been accepted into the Academy for the Musically Gifted! Here are a few things you need to know before you arrive:

Orientation is two days before the official start of school, to give new students a chance to explore the campus and get to know their teachers.
Students are expected to live in on-campus dorms, which can be furnished however the student likes. Due to the number of students enrolled, students will have to share dorms. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Uniforms are not required; however, we do require that students dress modestly. This is for the benefit of your fellow students, as well as your teachers.
Enclosed with this letter you will find your dorm assignment and a packet of teacher information. This packet includes names, photos, and contact information, as well as a few details about the teachers.

We hope to see you at orientation, on August the 10th!
Sincerely,
Dr. Phillip Smith, Choir Director and organist.

Rules

No OP characters. Your character can specialize in one aspect of sonomancy, but they may not be perfect.
Characters may fight; authors may not.
You can be a student or a teacher. Headmistress Kara Nightingale, however, is an NPC, and will remain so. I will play her when needed.

Sonomancy Info

Sonomancers are those who can harness magic through music. Highly trained sonomancers can create music out of nowhere, while sonomancers with less training must have instruments or sound systems nearby to broadcast the music through. Sonomancers usually specialize in one aspect of sonomancy; Empathic, Combat, Healing, Influence, and Calming are the most well known, although there are others.
Empathic sonomancers can use their music to subtly manipulate emotions. They can also feel other people's emotions. Empathic sonomancers are usually manipulative in some way, but can also be incredibly caring.
Combat sonomancers can use their music to attack and defend. They can send people into battle rages. Combat sonomancers are usually calm, serious people who keep their heads in crises, although they can work themselves into a towering rage.
Healing sonomancers can use their music to heal wounds and diseases physical and mental. They can sense when someone is hurt. Healing sonomancers are usually calm and compassionate, although they often become too emotionally invested in their patients.
Influence sonomancers can use their music to sway others to their side. They can also subtly influence future events, up to a point. Influence sonomancers are usually silver-tongued people with ambiguous morals, but they can be passionate defenders of their cause.
Calming sonomancers can use their music to cool hot heads and give aid to the depressed. They can also dissipate nightmares. Calming sonomancers are usually level-headed, kind people, although they can become tired of working only for others and not themselves.

@Athoriel

The assembled demigods shook their heads. No one had seen Ephraim since archery practice. "Jake might know where he is." A demigod piped up helpfully. "Or Nycteris. They know Ephraim best."

Gimme a Beat!

@Natsu It depends, really. The kind of magic expressed through song depends on the musician. Some musicians can heighten emotions, some musicians can do more physical effects. The healing and combat musicians, however, are the rarest, and have it the hardest.

Also, if there are no instruments/sound systems nearby, highly-trained sonomancers can create music out of nothing.

So, what d'you think?

Lords of the Underword

Still here, but nothing to add. Death/Morana (is? are?) causing some angels Extreme Pain via loss of extremities, and that probably won't change for a while.

Refuge of the Forgotten

Farewell to you, too, then, @Karl Kadaver

James Oake

Location; The party
Interacting With; No one, but open

After receiving directions, James headed off towards the party, contemplating the tricks he was planning to play. Would it be better to insert himself into the party quietly, or make a dramatic entrance? One look at the moon convinced him. "Heh. The Moonlit Magician is coming." A smirk settled onto his face as he thought out his entrance, and a tiny bit of him wondered if his father would approve. He squashed that thought, however. What did he care what Hermes thought?

When he reached the apartment that the party was happening outside of, he wrote a note on a blank card and sent it flying through the air. His aim, perfected by years of practice, was spot on; the card flew between a couple of girls before hitting the wall by another demigod's face. The speed of the card ensured that it got stuck in the wall, and didn't fall to the floor. The note was rather simple, a single sentence along with KID's usual signature. I will be entering this party in exactly ten minutes. Kaitou KID~

After ten minutes had passed, he created an explosion of KID's usual pink smoke. As heads turned to look, he appeared when the smoke disappated, his back to the party, looking up at the moon. Then, he turned. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!" He greeted them with a smirk and a bow. Just look at their faces! James loved the looks of surprise he gained from his getup, grinning on the inside, although his Poker Face remained unchanged.

I agree with @GoddessSophia - I've never really liked artificial spreads.

... why are we talking so much about butter versus not-butter? XP
