Here is the OOC!
Click Here!
Welcome, boys and girls, to the OOC thread of the Mordred Academy of Magical Arts! Soon you will have all you need to start your journey in a subtly magical world, starting your characters as young six years olds and making your way through their childhood all the way to their twenty first birthday!

What is MAMA, you ask? It is a fictional academy created by the equally fictional and legendary Mordred, the sometimes son of the sorceress Morgana herself, and is thus an Arthurian themed school that is over a millennium old. The time of bold shows of magical powers is long gone after that awful business with the Witch Hunts, however, and subtlety and cunning is a vital skill for any magic user. Your character will learn how to blend in with the mundane, thrive in the world they live in and use their arcane knowledge to secretly achieve power and prestige, wherever and however they choose to live their lives.

The MAMA is separated into thirteen blocks of four weeks courses a year, and is a year long boarding school where students study from three to six days a week depending on their ages, abilities and choice of studies. As a six years old, each of you will start with three courses of your choice from a initially limited pool of learning and will be able to change your schedule at the start of every blocks of study, the free time you have being used for physical exercise, social plays and language and writing tutoring by elder students. Each student will earn a point of the chosen courses per blocks, that will gauge how advanced their skills in that area are in term of Expertise Ranks, each rank gained unlocking more opportunity, as well as privileges and sometimes boons.

Each rank is as follow, with each amount of attendance needed:

1 - Inept
3 - Novice
6 - Able
18 - Journeyman
36 - Skilled
108 - Talented
216 - Seasoned
648 - Expert
1 296 - Virtuoso
3 888 - Master

With time, double courses of the same type will be available, each sixteen year old pupil being able to take them as long as an empty course slot is available. As for the requirements to be taken in by the school, a promising orphan or the child of an alumni would be the only candidates as prospective pupils, and the roleplay will start at the arrival of the newest batch of pupils.

Now, the rules are simple, at least a full paragraph per post, good effort and an enjoyable and relaxed OOC. The effort part means both in quality of post and activity of the player. Once you agree to these rules, you are free to complete and post the following CS:

Name:
Gender:
Status: Orphan or Alumni Child

Appearance: (please use a description of at least one full paragraph)
Personality: (at least one full paragraph)

The rest will be developed and tweaked IC, so don't bother with backgrounds or courses just yet.
Wow!
This is excellent, I shall start the OOC as soon as I make it!
Bumping it up for more visibility, I shall do so at most one more time,so please speak up if interested!
Created over a millennium ago by the son of the great witch Morgana herself, the Mordred Academy of Magical Arts, or MAMA for short, is a secretive and exclusive school that formed some of the best sorcerers, wizards, witches and enchanters of the continent, teaching discretion as the better part of valour and teaching a complete curriculum that will make sure that any alumni will be able to subtly lead the world as they please with a mix of cunning, knowledge, charisma and magical powers. The world must be kept in the dark of these tools, however, and so only select and promising orphans or children of the alumni, when either reach their sixth birthday, are enrolled into the program.

Both magical and non-magical subject will be taught and learned, and as a boarding school, such a learning will be all year long and quite dense and enriching. Each week will be planned in advance, and, depending on the pupil's performance, a test for further boons and regards will be issued. Each year will be separated into thirteen blocks of four weeks programs, with three to six days of schooling per week depending on the age and courses of the pupil. At the beginning, very few subjects will be available, and a maximum of three courses a week will be set, to give time to play, physical exercise and the daily language and writing tutoring taught to each pupil by older students.

As they age, more courses and class slots will be available to better each character's skillset and make them grow in personality and goals. I only want six players at most for now, and so the places will be limited. There is also the thoughts at the back of my mind to do block long school trips to spice things up and give more chance of something good and/or interesting to happen to the pupils. Be warned that I expect good effort in each post, and a pretty good activity in both the IC and OOC threads, so be ready to commit!
Mm... in that case I may have to try something else, back to the thinking board, thanks for the reply :3!
Could I reserve the Perseus Megatama, please? Perseus' Mirror will be able to reflect status ailments.
Still here, and glad this will hopefully take place. I'll be making a female.
I like this idea, it will give me time to make maybe a recurring Godmother character and some interesting NPCs. Anything else?
Excellent! Do you guys have any suggestion or ideas I could incorporate into the basic idea?
