@Letter Bee I believe only Donovan is.

@King Tai Sure, knock your socks off. I'd enjoy the mood getting set by some music before reading a post.

@Menhir It definitely is.
@KOgaming Just noticed that you didn't edit Val's abilities yet. Just edit this in. Thanks, man.

Magic
  • Name: Ursidae (Feel Free to Rename It)
  • Type: Transmutation
  • Description: Valechka's abilities manifest primarily in her innate, ursine physiology. It was something she had from birth and nothing she had ever considered unusual, in spite of everybody else in the village, her parents and grandparents included, having normal human physiology. Her body is lithe and so her strength seems out of place. Valechka possesses strength far beyond that of the average human. Her hearing and smelling abilities are also remarkable, at least moreso than the average person's. Her reflexes are good enough to catch salmon jumping upstream out of the river, not that she'd ever need to.
So far, there's one person who's definitely going to impress Varus. This is going to be a fun update. Well, at least for me.
@Nanashi Ninanai RIP Alice lol

@Riffus Maximus Not so RIP?

I'll be doing mini-updates with Varus' response to those who posted.
@Thecrash20 Alright, just remember that everyone student is practically a beginner. Accepted, man. Feel free to post in the IC and Character Cache.
@Thecrash20 Every thing seems alright, just need to know the specifics of Eran's ability. You know, like the size, number of projections he can have, et cetera. Maybe fully summoning the being itself would be something he unlocks later on?
@January Nope, the batch of students are just the PCs. Invitations are sent by batches and that's how most "classes" are grouped as.

Feel free to interact with Varus. If its just dialogue, you can PM me to avoid just posting all dialogue.






If only magic didn't interfere with technology, being head master would have been incredibly easier. This was a an issue Jasper wanted to overcome, but given his hectic schedule, dealing with such a problem wasn't possible for now. Walking back to his desk, Jasper reluctantly sat down and stared at the pile of papers stacked in front of him. He sighed deeply before diving into his work.

It was a shame that he couldn't convince Varus to handle with this instead; he would have taken the task of dealing with the students over clerical responsibilities any day.

"This was going to be a long morning."

With a quill in his hand and a heavy heart, Jasper dove into his work.




The thought of immediately undergoing some sort of trial even before entering the confines of the facility was probably absurd for most of the students. Despite its reputation for being a highly renowned establishment, their methods were definitely unorthodox.

"I guess that's long enough." Varus said as he pulled out - what appeared to be an hourglass - from one of his jacket's pockets. Although appearing arrogant to an extent, he wasn't completely cruel. He knew that for children, these types of scenarios seldom occur. Feelings of anxiousness, fright, and genuine shock were absolutely normal. He assumed a minute or two was enough for them to regain their composure; any more would just be too much. They were fortunate that he was so generous.

"Listen up, these trials will be coming up more often than most of you would expect. They'll be unannounced, so always be prepared. It would be a shame if you got kicked out of the academy this early on." Varus couldn't help but snicker as he eyed every single student. Seeing them squirm was one of his guilty pleasures.

What he termed as tough love, was probably labeled as douchebaggery by most of those he had taught over the years.

"Aside from those privileged enough to live an okay life, I assume that most of you were forced to keep your magic hidden from those around you, right?" His smirk had vanished as the tone of his voice turned serious and strict.

"Some probably even turned to isolation and seclusion while a bunch of you were completely alienated from their families. The feeling is frustrating, I know. I've heard these stories far too many times. Don't worry though; that sort of shit has no place at Four Winds."

It was obvious that Varus had read the files of everyone and knew of their upbringing. Most thought of him as a an asshole and he embraced that fact, but he was still a mentor to the children of the school. Before tormenting them, he wanted to at least give them some sense of relief; they were finally in a place where they would be accepted, they just needed to be reminded of that.

"With that said, Let's see what you guys have to offer. The headmaster says that all of you have the potential to be great, but I've yet to be convinced. Show me that you belong here; there are no rules, I don't care how you do it. Remember, those who don't make the cut, are out of here."
