Qrowdell Academy (magical school RP)

I like the idea of a character with runic tattoos- specializing in either electro or geomancy to conjure up weapons from which to throw or hit things with- I like the idea of chucking lightning or stone spears at various baddies. Non human races are allowed, so I guess the followup question is are half-human half-Xrace allowed?

Pilot Dossier: Delacroix, Sara Lin

Sara Lin Delacroix• 18 • Rank A

Appearance:
Despite only standing in a 5'2"(157cm) and weighing in at approximately 120 lbs (54.5 kg), Sara is surprisingly easy to spot in a crowd. Her face is pale and round, and she has clear, clean skin, with soft facial features. Her eyes are a dark, ruby red, and her ice white hair goes down to her waist, and is typically adorned with a bow. Her frame is small but lithe and its clear she keeps in relatively good shape. Her uniforms at the academy are all impeccably tailored to her form and are often worn with a short capelet and tights underneath the skirt.

Personality:
Friendly and even-tempered, Sara's demeanor is generally cheerful, and is easy to get along with. Sara is amicable and outgoing, but can often be stubborn, and has a tendency to be headstrong. Typically used to getting her way, Sara can be quite spoiled at times, but is generous and affectionate towards her friends and close confidants. Middling grades and a lackadaisical attitude towards most academics gives off a sense of spaciness and Sara can occasionally come off as an airhead, though she appears to have an intense interest in the practical workings and applications of Knights and their Autonomous counterparts. Typically able to act with proper decorum and poise in more formal settings, Sara trends towards being more meek or timid in situations or settings she doesn't understand or isn't comfortable with. In the cockpit of a Knight, Sara is confident and possessing of considerable will. During fights, Sara is fierce and stalwart, regularly placing herself at the front to draw enemies away from her teammates.

History:
>An excerpt from a student dossier analysis by faculty counselor Dr. Emil Sandoval
-The youngest child and only daughter to Bernard and Eloise Delacroix. Sara Delacroix is the youngest of 4 apparent heirs to the Luna based Durandal Group, one of the major players in the United Front's military industrial complex. The Durandal Group itself is composed of a number subsidiaries and companies developing a variety of weapon platforms and systems that see a fair amount of use in the UF's military forces. Durandal Group's manufacturing arm, Durandal Heavy Machinery, have been aggressively expanding into the Knight manufacturing market, focusing on the production of Shell-Type Knights. The DHM's current flagship program is the Chevalier platform, a durable frontline capable Shell-Type designed to prioritize pilot survivability. While not destined to inherit any major leadership role within the company, Ms. Delacroix still has not insignificant pull with the company and has access to many of its resources.

Before entering Doppler Academy, Sara was enrolled in the Durandal Group's Preparatory Academy in place of public education where she received general education along with more specialized training specifically tailored to the needs of Durandal Group. Her academic records and general business acumen was described as 'merely acceptable'. Sara also received hands-on time with the testbed version of the Chevalier frame, alongside extensive simulation training. Sara seemed to have come into her own here, going above and beyond according to all standards set by the simulators. Ms. Delacroix expressed considerably more interest in the processes involved with Knight functions, production and piloting as opposed to the more business side of management and began a small stint with DHM as a test pilot for their frames. While initially slated to proceed to Durandal's leadership academy, to participate in a more corporate role following her completion, Sara seemed less than enthusiastic about the prospect of it and expressed interest in Doppler Academy. While her parents weren't enthused by the idea, her brothers were more than excited about the prospect of one less competitor in the race for succession and supported her decision, willing to use several subsidiaries within Durandal Group to sponsor Sara's stay at Doppler.

Eventually her eldest brother Tynan would win out amongst her brothers, and Durandal Heavy Machinery formally sponsored Sara's training at Doppler Academy, citing that her familiarity with several of their frames already made her an ideal candidate for the school. While reluctant to allow her to leave, and generally disapproving of her presence there, her father has nonetheless allowed Sara to enter the Academy to serve the Durandal Group as one of its representatives at Doppler Academy. Overall, Sara appears to have middling-to-average academic performances but appears to excel in practical skills applications and technical knowledge, with an impressive simulation and training record.

Capability:
A talented Knight Pilot, Sara excels in frontline roles. Possessing a high degree of spatial awareness, Sara works well with primarily close quarters and CQB weapons systems, relying on her Knight's high durability and heavy weapons systems to deliver steady, consistent damage. Sara also has a good grasp on conventional small unit tactics, and a solid understanding of logistics and Knight technical specs.

Project Gendarme Technical Readout

Project: Gendarme • Shell-Type • 10m

Appearance :
Large and imposing, the Gendarme possesses the height of a medium sized Knight, but with the weight and armor of a heavy class machine. A suite of directional thrusters surround the entire machine, and a particularly large forward booster sits on its back. High powered thrusters underneath its feet allow the Gendarme to 'skate' across the ground. A set of racks behind the hips stores the Gendarme's weapons platforms, additional racks on its armored shoulder baffles and deployable compartments within its thighs allow it to store smaller handheld weaponry. While the mass produced version is intended on being painted a more conventional black and grey, Sara has insisted on painting her prototype a striking, bright red, as well as placing a large plume behind its sensor suite.

Manufacturer: Durandal Group - Durandal Heavy Machinery
Durandal Heavy Machinery is the primary Mechworks subsidiary of the Durandal Group. One of the major manufacturers for the UF Armed Forces, DHM has been rapidly expanding into the Knight manufacturing market, focusing on the production of Shell-Type Knights. DHM Knights are known for their durability and survivability, utilizing heavy frames and armor to provide the UFAF with viable frontline and general workhorse units. The DHM's current flagship program is the Chevalier platform, a durable Shell-Type designed to prioritize pilot survivability, and meant to fill the role of a main line combatant.

Design:
Project Gendarme is one of DHM's attempts to produce an upgraded version of their venerable DGK-07 Chevalier. Adopting the idea of a combined arms approach, DHM has produced several prototypes in tandem to put to market. The Gendarme is designed to fill the role of a heavy cavalry unit, just mobile enough to get into the thick of the fight, and durable enough to survive extended engagements. While the Gendarme is capable of using the full suite of Knight compatible weapons platforms, it is designed to function primarily as a close quarters combatant.

While far from the fastest Knight on the field in terms of overall land speed, the Gendarme can launch itself forward with short bursts of sudden speed and due to its directional thrusters is surprisingly maneuverable and dexterous for its weight and size. While many of its more advanced systems will likely be removed or downgraded for mass production versions, the prototype Gendarme has been spared no such expense.

Armaments:
While capable of utilizing the full suite of UFAF Knight compatible weapons systems, the Gendarme comes with several of its own purpose built weapons systems for its intended combat role. Due to limitations of space and logistics, the Gendarme does not typically carry all of its designed weapons systems, and loadouts typically consist of a single primary and a single secondary weapon, with auxiliary weapons carried as standard.

Primary:

• Partisan Beam Weapons System

  The Gendarme's primary close combat weapon system is the specially made Partisan. The weapon itself is made of heavy duty, beam resistant alloys to prevent damage in close combat, with even its beam emitters well protected by a sheath of durable metals. The weapon's emitter projects a long energy blade, and can also deploy a pair of winged blades perpendicular to the main blade. The weapon itself is assembled in stages, the main haft can be attached to make the weapon a polearm, split in half to make a short spear, or the front end of the weapon can be held to be used as a sword. The main haft of the Partisan featured a set of remote controlled boosters, allowing the weapon to be thrown and retrieved. The Partisan's parts are stored on the Gendarme's back/hip rack.
  
  Secondary:
• 40mm 'Spitfire' Scattergun

  A weapons system used heavily amongst the Chevalier line of Knights used for close to medium-close range engagements within 150 meters with its max effective range reaching 250 meters. The Spitfire scattergun fires 40mm canisters that fill the local space with superheated iridium pellets capable of melting through armor, though past its effective range the pellets lose heat and are no longer capable of dealing damage to hardened targets. The Spitfire fires at an automatic rate of 360 rpm and can fire 60 shells out of its magazine before needing to reload. 4 additional magazines are stored within the thigh compartments. Further complimenting its close range competency is a 1 meter 'mech' bayonet. The Spitfire can be stored on one of the racks on the Gendarme's shoulder baffles. Due to space limitations the Spitfire, Smartgun and Mini 30 typically cannot be carried into battle at the same time.
• 35mm 'Smartgun' Micro Missile Launcher

  A relatively new weapons platform for use by UFAF Knights, the 'Smartgun' 35mm missile launcher takes on a shape similar to a conventional SMG. Using high velocity 'fuzzy' logic missiles, the Smartgun can rapidly and accurately engage targets within medium-close ranges with little input from the user other than pointing the weapon in their general direction. The individual explosives are not particularly powerful themselves, so the Smartgun fires these missiles from a 80 round magazine at a rate of 900 RPM. Up to 4 additional magazines are stored within compartments in the Gendarme's thighs. Like the Spitfire and the Mini 30, the Smartgun can be stored on one of the racks on the Gendarme's shoulder baffles. Due to space limitations the Spitfire, Smartgun and Mini 30 typically cannot be carried into battle at the same time.
• 30mm 'Mini 30' Autocannon

  A cut down version of a full sized assault rifle style autocannon, the aptly named 'Mini 30' fires 30mm High-explosive incendiary/armor-piercing ammunition (HEIAP) from a 100 round box magazine. Thanks to its size, the Mini 30 is lightweight and fairly easy to manage in close quarters, but lacks the range and accuracy of its larger brother and is most effective within medium ranges. The Mini 30 has semi-automatic, 5-round burst, and fully automatic firing modes, and has a fire rate of 600 RPM. Up to 4 additional magazines are stored within compartments in the Gendarme's thighs. Like the Spitfire, the Mini 30 can be stored on one of the racks on the Gendarme's shoulder baffles. Due to space limitations the Spitfire, Smartgun and Mini 30 typically cannot be carried into battle at the same time.
  
  Auxiliary:
• Beam Gladius

  An emergency combat weapon stored in one of the Gendarme's shoulder baffles or within its shield. Powerful energy emitters project a long sized knife or a shortsword style blade. Ideal for close quarters when the 'continuum of force' has been reduced to hand to hand combat. For optimum performance, the leading edge, 'pointy end', should be applied to the enemy and thrust into vital regions. This should be repeated as necessary.
• Combat Kite Shield

  Even in the age of building sized war machines, the humble shield still finds its way onto the battlefield. A slab of composite alloys, with a layer of heat resistant 'anti-beam' coating along the face, the combat shield does what one would expect it to do: provide directional protection from oncoming attacks. The shield has a small cutout to mount the barrel of a gun on, and is mounted onto the Gendarme's forearm for hands free operation. It is too large and heavy to be carried on any of the Gendarme's storage racks and must be carried by hand into and out of battle.
• Buckler 20mm CIWS

  A standard UFAF 20mm vulcan cannon attached to the side of Gendarme's head unit to provide it defense from small threats and missiles. It possesses a high rate of fire, but has a limited ammunition magazine that only provides it 20 seconds worth of continuous fire. While capable of being used offensively, it lacks the ammunition to leave lasting damage against harder targets like AKs or other Knights. Still, in a pinch it is capable of being used to finish off vulnerable or otherwise softened targets.

Systems & Specification: Alongside its suite of weapons, the Gendarme also utilizes several design specific systems to further its role as a main line combatant.

• DHM Composite-C Heavy Armor Plating

  Overtop it's substantial plating, the Gendarme is encased in an additional layer of heavy armor, providing it with considerable protection from enemy attack. Intended to absorb large amounts of damage, the individual plates on the Gendarme sport a layer beam resistant coating and can be selectively detached and ejected to shed the Knight's overall weight or when they are too damaged to continue providing protection. They can then be quickly replaced or serviced at a base or station capable of servicing Knights.
• Miron Dynamics Countermeasures System

  To assist in its frontline role, the Gendarme features a small munitions launcher built into its front and rear skirt. The munitions launcher contains a small magazine of canisters that release a combination of smoke and chaff into the immediate area to obfuscate the Gendarme from view and sensors to either cover its retreat, or assist in an advance.
• DHM 'Linebacker' KR-Assault Booster

  Even while using its thrusters to 'skate' across the ground, the Gendarme and other heavy Knights like the Chevalier can find their land speed to be lacking. To assist in that, the Gendarme has a specially modified KR device that acts as an enhanced booster attached to its back, granting it short, but sudden bursts of speed in combat. The booster is too taxing on the KR-Engine and the knight's frame itself to be used as a means of consistent transportation, and has a limiter in place to prevent damage to the system and to allow expended particles to be 'recharged'. The Linebacker Booster in its current state allows short single second pulses for quick repositioning or tackling maneuvers, or a single 10 second burn for an extended charge.

I was just gonna go with "arms company buys a baby/child.

Also, cool. Will the procedure typically be decide winner then write duel?

@Gisk

I was actually thinking of something similar as well- young scion/heir of a notable arms manufacturer. Maybe some tie ins could happen?

Location · |@vietmyke] Si Wong Desert · @vietmyke ____________________________________________________________________________. Jin's eyes slowly blinked in the glowing dawn of the desert, a hand over the faceshield of his helmet to cut some of the light that morning sun brought. It was quiet and peaceful, to the point that Jin almost forgot what had happened the day before. He sighed, that life seemed so far away now. Jin looked around, from the top of the Kyoshi where he was sat. The Kyoshi itself was parked close to a small outcropping of stone they were resting by. Most of the others were still in various states of rest. Jin himself was used to waking up early. Out in the desert, the time on the clock and the passing hours didn't really matter- the day usually started when the light came out, and usually ended a few hours after it got dark. There was no electricity in the desert once you got a certain distance away from the pipelines, so there was often no point in traveling- if you turned on your headlights, you'd be spotted from miles away, if you left them off, traversing the sands would be difficult at worst. Jin stretched his arms out and yawned, a familiar popping sound rattling down his spine as he did.Looking around their makeshift campsite, Jin counted the people and came up one short. Straightening up immediately, Jin quickly did a second survey, his eyes specifically searching for a particularly bunny eared helmet. He relaxed a bit as he saw Sumire a short distance away from the others in the open sand. A morning stroll perhaps? It’d been a while since Jin had taken Sumire out into the desert- ever since she became the company’s de facto radio op, she spent more of her time at either the main center or one of the outposts by the city. Sliding off the Kyoshi and landing in the sand with a soft thud, Jin made his way over to where Sumire was standing. ”Mir, what’re you doing out here?” Jin called out curiously as he went over to where Sumire stood, leaning over her shoulder to see what Sumire was looking at. ”Jin! Look!” Sumire said excitedly, pointing at a flower- in the desert. Jin for his part looked at the plant curiously too. A flower sticking out of the sands was certainly a strange sight. ”Yeah, look at that.” Jin agreed, ”Was this here last night? ”Hey, Jin…” Sumire said sweetly, the shorter girl’s polarized faceplate looked up at him, the single remaining bunny ear flopping behind her. Jin rolled his eyes, he didn’t need to see through the helmet to know what face she was making. ”Can you get it for me?” ”What? Why? It's right there- if you want it, you get it.” Jin replied. Sumire punched him in the arm. Hard. ”Just get it.” Sumire demanded sullenly, with a huff. ”Fine, fine, I’ll get your dumb flower.” Jin sulked, rubbing at his arm as he took a step towards the small plant.

Galahad glanced at the demon Farfa as their guide attempted to cajole Galahad into taking matters into his own hand. Farfa’s false smile was returned with one from Galahad in kind. Broad, radiant, bright, fake.

"Oh, my dear Farfa," Galahad chuckled as though he were chiding a child that had done a naughty thing, his tone sickly sweet and endearing. "I wouldn’t dream of doing your job! It's your job, after all."

Tearing his attention away from the demon, Galahad regarded the two ogres that were now speaking to them. It appears one learned a new thing every day- He didn’t know ogres could talk, much less make coherent sentences. But it appeared the ogres were trying to extort them. Or at least the humans in their group- of which there were a few. For once, Galahad was almost glad of the fact that he had elven blood flowing through his veins. Would the ogres accept that? Who knew? They were ogres. Galahad was surprised they were able to comprehend the difference.

Already some of the others were trying to sway the ogres to let them pass. Avoiding a fight was likely the best course of action, Galahad figured. No sense starting a fight with the guard before we enter their city- Galahad liked attention, but not that much attention. Galahad offered the ogres a disarming smile as he brushed away his hair to reveal the pointed tips of his ears.

"No human here," Galahad said in a fake friendly tone, as he took a step in front of the small, blue haired woman, the weight of his covered lance shifting a bit on his shoulders. His eyes flitted from ogre to ogre. Ogres weren’t peaceful creatures to his knowledge. He didn’t think they’d attack without warning- probably, but being careful wasn’t a bad idea. "We’re travelers, and the humans with us don’t carry much that would be of value in the city."

Glancing over at the humans in question, Galahad regarded the crazy looking one, the hermit- or sage- or whatever he called himself. Galahad leaned towards the small blue haired human behind him. ”Are we certain we need everyone here?”

"Just as well, some of us could do with a shower." Galahad chuckled with little mirth as he stood next to the young, blue haired alchemist, "That carriage was not big enough for the lot of us."

Galahad stood by the majority of their small congregation of outcasts and oddities. Strange that he might've considered himself one, but these were strange circumstances regardless. The rain beaded on the exposed metal plates of his armor not covered by the luxurious blue cloak and dripped off the locks that framed his face. Draped casually over a shoulder and held in place with a lazy gauntlet was a large polearm, fully covered, sheathed in a wrapping of linens and leather to protect it from the elements. Galahad was used to rainy seasons, back home the rain never seemed to stop- gray and overcast were the norm. The southlands had been much warmer and sunnier in general, but rains like this reminded him of home.

Their little gathering was a motley one to be sure, all sorts of freaks and oddities abound. Galahad rarely had the pleasure- or ill luck of working in groups, but on the few occasions he had, they were much like this. Especially in the south, mercenaries, adventurers, wanderers and merchants alike were a strange bunch. While most cities were a generally homogenous of their race and background, on the road the people were as varied as their stories, though most were only fit to addle your brain with their constant droning. People always thought they were more interesting than they actually were- there were exceptions of course, himself being one of them. He hadn't yet deigned to find out the stories of the others with him, but he was sure at least one of them wouldn't bore him out of his mind.

Already they had hit a snag. The goblin named Rooster seemed to have an issue with them passing through the gates and into the city itself. Perhaps there was a door tax? Either way, it was surprising that their guide- and 'employers'- were unable to open such doors for them, literally in this case. Some of the others were already on edge. Unfortunately, things could never go as simply as one hoped it seemed.

"Are they not expecting us, Farfa?" Galahad called out, his tone amused, but his face blank and bored. A free hand lightly brushed a wet lock of hair out of his face. He took a few steps forward to the relative front of the group, though not as close up as their diminutive fae knight had gone. His gaze rested lazily on the two armored guards in front of them. "If I had known there were going to be complications, I would have asked the carriage to stay a moment longer."

Galahad Quaid

________________________________________ Sir Galahad Wilmont de Vitas Quaid III 38 | Male | Half-Elf _______________________________________________ ❏ BIRTHPLACE: Vitas, Capitol of the Stormlands ❏ CASTE: Noble ❏ AFFILIATIONS: The Quaid Family (Formerly), Knights of the Storm (Formerly) ❏ GOALS: To prove to his family that he is, to be frank, better than all of them. _______________________________________________ TALENTS: ◆ Charismatic Courtier: The Scion of a noble family, Galahad is skilled and working his way through conversation- either through charming and schmoozing those of noble stature, or browbeating and intimidating those of lower standing. ◆ Mage Knight: While of noble birth, Galahad isn't afraid to get his hands dirty and is a full fledged knight of the Stormlands. Though trained in and capable of using a wide variety of armaments and armor, Galahad prefers to wield a polearm. ◆ Lutist: Hands never idle, Galahad has some experience with the arts, as expected of one of noble birth, and is fairly competent with music. EQUIPMENT: ◆ Galahad's Armor - Well crafted and balanced set of armor designed to be protective and mobile. Consists of a base layer of a long gambeson, with a mail shirt and cuirass. Plate pauldrons, vambraces and greaves protect the extremities, and a deep blue cloak bearing the Quaid family sigil wraps around the shoulders. ◆ Shortsword - An elvish shortsword of high quality. ◆ Quaid Sigil Clasp - An emerald clasp with the Quaid family sigil and a 'G' embedded within the gem in gold.

Appearance ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Standing in at just over six feet tall, Galahad is a lithe and sinewy individual with the appearance of one who is used to continuous physical exertion, without some of the bulk of his fellow knights. As expected of an Knight of the Storm, his physique is in excellent shape, and his frame is akin to what might be expected of an athlete or career soldier. His skin is a light olive tone and is relatively unscathed. His dark black hair falls in graceful waves around his head, hiding the slight tips of his ears, and his eyes are a cold emerald green, possessing a piercing, almost chilling gaze. Galahad has an expensive taste in attire, often wearing fine silken clothes with bright and vibrant colors, and a borderline gaudy amount of jewelry. Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Snarky and flippant, Galahad is a confident- often to the point of arrogance, and self assured individual. His casual and selfish demeanor is often mistaken for an uncaring and aloof disposition, and his lackadaisical nature and often haughty attitude does little to change the opinions of others. He has a penchant for sarcasm and rarely seems to take things seriously, throwing snide jokes or dashing charm around whenever he sees fit like a flip of a coin. Underneath his cool are careless persona lies a quiet, impotent rage, feelings of inadequacy, jealousy, cynicism and a constant need to prove himself. The weight of expectations placed upon on him by others weighs heavy on his mind. Galahad mingles well with those of genteel birth, and easily works his way through aristocrats and knights alike, though he has difficulty relating to those of poorer circumstances. His attitude does little to garner the sympathies of the common folk and he often seems disinterested or uncaring about the struggles of others. Not quite as vapid and self centered as he portrays himself- though still some measure of each- Galahad possesses a well developed moral compass, and is strongly loyal to those he cares about, though his tone and callousness might suggest otherwise. He cares about folk, in his own way, but one will never hear him admit such in open conversation. Arcana ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Major: The Strength Arcana The third in his family line to have been blessed with the Strength Arcana, Galahad, while no master, is fairly proficient with his abilities, or at least well practiced with his current repertoire of abilities. Like most others of the Strength Arcana, he possesses the ability to fly and jump great distances with ease. While able to manipulate the gravity of others, when in conflict, Galahad is most proficient in manipulating his own. His lance moves lighter than a feather and hits harder than a warhorse, from above he can throw down his lance and leave craters in the ground from its impact. He can generate small singularities to suck in or restrain people or objects in a small localized area or increase the force of gravity on a man's sword so he cannot heft it properly. In general it takes less effort to manipulate his own than it does to manipulate something another person is actively controlling. Minor: The Seven of Swords An ancient relic lance, handed down from from generations, the Seven of Swords was first obtained by Galahad Archemon Vitas Quaid, first of his name. Made from levinstone, a rare and powerful metal native to the Stormlands the weapon is unwieldy and difficult for the uninitiated to use. When properly attuned to its user, the Seven of Swords is easier to control and can even return to its wielder's hand on command. The Seven of Swords can split itself into 7 identical lances, echoes of the original, with each copy holding the same properties. The original lance is held in hand, while it's echos float around the user until actively manipulated. Unless otherwise affected, the echoes fade after a few minutes, and there can only be 7 lances at a time.
