Sorcerer's Academy (Interest Check- LGBTQ friendly, NC-Exotic, Sandbox)

[deadmanshand]

This idea just sounds fun. A college of wizardry beset on all sides by rogue experiments, bizarre and dangerous classes, life threatening field trips, arcane greed, extradimensional horrors, foreign powers, and seemingly suicidal students. Less Harry Potter and more weird fantasy. Dr. Strange at it's best. Over the top incantations, larger than life characters, surreal otherworlds, and more.

Section: NC Exotic
Who's Welcome: Everyone! LGBTQ and other letters standing for other things that I will most likely need explained to me as if I was a small child.
System: Freeform with a touch of system. Just to provide some balance between characters.
Setting: Collaborative but all based off of the following map with the actual college located in the Sorcerer Isles.

The Only Fantasy Map You'll Ever Need

Plot: The story will be made up of three separate parts. The Over-Arcing Plot, Field Trips, and Troubles. The Over Arcing Plot will be my overall plot. Field Trips will be excursions run by Professors that take place out in the world away from the college. Troubles can be anything from an artifact going out of control to a personal story hook. I want a lot of variety and options here with everyone being able to have a hand in the story.

Characters: There will be two primary character types. Professors and Students (minimum age 16). Professors will be more powerful but will have certain responsibilities in game. Namely teaching classes (Really. What did you expect from a school?) and running Field Trips (Your own adventures for some of the students.). Students don't have to do anything except participate but can come up with Troubles.

Note: All Field Trips and Troubles would have to be run by me first. In the interest of keeping a coherent vision of the game.

Magic: Seems mildly important to cover this aspect don't ya think? I am actually not sure how to tackle this one. D&D style Schools of Magic? Mage style Spheres? Different magical traditions like one Professor be the voodoo teacher and another be the shaman? What do you all think?

So any interest?

I'm totally game for this one! Any chance you'll let me bring in one of my Succubus Sisters? The healer or the smasher, either way, succubi are fun!

[Ayama]

Hi,

your idea sounds alot fun, who wouldnt want a more adult Hogwarts where things are actually serious.
I think i would really love to play a professor in that kind of roleplay.
About the magic question... that sure is a tough one. The idea of specialized professors sounds good.
Like everyone could learn what they want but in the end its nessecary to specialize on a certain magic aspect to master it.
Anyways, if you are going to start this roleplay, check me interested and one of your first professors at the Sorcerer's Academy =)

Sincerely,

Ayama

[Inerrant Lust]

I had an idea for a character a long time ago that was basically a magic girl that was into summoning Ancient Ones and other lovecraftian horrors. She ended up excelling in summoning tentacles from beyond out of portals. They could be used for combat... but really she just plants a portal underneath her skirt from time to time.

Upon thinking on it further, an interesting inversion on the idea would be making the magic girl a magic boy... likely very effeminate, and with the same fascination with tentacles..

[SmilingFox]

Count me in as a professor as well! This idea sounds great. I'm thinking maybe I'll have the prof focus on enchanting mundane items, and using objects to store complicated spells in advace. I'm not sure what gender to be, or if other races are allowed, so I'll give that some thought. I also have a few ideas for students too.

[ShadowFox89]

 Hmm... have a couple of character ideas for this...

As for 'type' of magic, maybe MtG style 'colors of mana'? Allow for mixing of colors for different effects, affinities for one/two/three colors, etc.

[Siereis]

I would be interested in playing in this one too.  Honestly I can see myself playing either a teacher or student...whichever is in more demand (which at the time of this post appears to be student).

Question:
1.  What races are allowed?  Humans only or do we get to choose from essentially any fantasy race?
2.  I realize this is a sandbox RP, but will there any sort of overarching villain?  Or is it more of 'a day in the life' of sort of plot?
3.  Ideally, just how adult oriented are people looking for this to be?

Also..I like the idea of each caster being able to specialize in a school of magic.  Like with Magic the Gathering...just with more 'types'.  Fire, Holy, Dark, Nature, Earth, Air, Water...etc.

[Angie]

Could possibly drag out the 'Elements' from the CCG of the same name.

[Ayama]

Well according to the map 'deadmanshand' posted it seems like there will be every kind of fantasy race you want.
I see goblins, Lion tribe, demons, dragons and even elks... so hope for the best and all the races you want to play^^

For the adult oriented part... hard to tell, i personally hope for alot ofcourse =P But also a good plot.

The idea of elements isnt bad but i think i would prefer different magic types like, Arcane, Necromancy, Voodoo, Shamanism, Elementary, Summoner, Bloodmagic and so on.
But i bet more then half these types you could recreate with the elements as well.
Its a hard task to choose from almost infinite possibilities, but aslong i dont have to wiggle a wand around and say a bunch of wierd words.. xD

Oh i also think it would be nice if people would write wich role they prefer. Tho i already wrote that i would love to play a professor iam also up to play as a student if there are too few.

[Angie]

I think that depends on which 'Sister' I play-the Healer would likely be a student, the Destroyer would like be a professor, who also teaches martial arts (and maybe some kind of 'tantric' sex too)

[TheSithChicken]

I'd like in on this as a student though I wouldn't be opposed to a Professor. For the magic system I'd like to see types of magic such as pure arcane, necromancy, blood magic, shamanism, voodoo, elementalist, holy, demonic, and so on. I think this could provide more variety in what a single person could do rather than separating them into more specific magics such as pyromancy or telepathy which, while certainly versatile, are much more limited than a full elementalist or psychic would be.

[deadmanshand]

That's a lot of responses. Excellent. Let me address your questions.

Angiejuusan - Depends on two things really. One is that I'd need to know something about them and the other being a good reason for a succubi to be either a student or a professor at a school of magic. The last should not be too hard.

Ayama - Consider yourself checked.

Inerrant Lust - Not exactly the kind of tone I was necessarily going for. Using magic to satisfy desires can be done but this just feels a little too... anime? Hentai?

Smiling Fox - On subjects and races see my comment below.

Caehlim - Good.

Siereis - Races and magic will be addressed below. It will be both actually. There will be an overarcing plot and slice of life type things. I like variety.

Now the adult content... I am going to put this in NC Exotic for freedom purposes. If people want to have sex they can. It's not a focus but I want freedom for people to enjoy themselves. I have toyed with the idea of even having a separate Dorm type thread for sex and the like. That being said if someone ignores the rest of the game for just sex and the like I am going to talk to them because that's not what I want from the game.

Important Stuff!

Races... Ayama has it right. Any fantasy race works. If you want to make a race of your discuss it with me. If you want to be from another world (dimensions and otherworldly realms are part and parcel of Weird Fantasy) talk to me. Variety is awesome.

Subjects and magics... I have thought about it and I like Ayama and DarkPrince's take on it. Different teachers for different kinds of magic. Alchemy, hermetic wizardry, necromancy, vaudun, shamanic, etc. The magic will feel a little more cinematic and pulpy and allow for a lot of very different character types.

[Angie]

Well for starters, I'm kinda playing them as not as evil as being demonic would make you think-while they have impulses to drain souls, it's more because they get a rush of power from it, not in any service to a dark lord or anything. It's a little more vampiric, I suppose, but I prefer playing succubi to vampires.

The student succubus would be here to learn how to temper her natural gift for healing magic with control, and also having such a wild variety of contacts would help her learn to keep her demonic impulses (to get intimate with everyone) under control. She's also somewhat...rebellious against herself-she's trying to completely reject her demonic nature and well, it's not working, which is why her mother sent her to the Academy.

Professor Succubus was probably a bit...anti heroic. Limiting herself to draining bandits and outlaws, rogue mages, etc. Melding powerful spells into her martial arts and then grabbing the last guy in the band of bandits to administer a little kiss. She was probably approached by a messanger from the Academy saying they wanted her to come and teach her particular brand of spellcasting (after all, not many spellcasters can meld a spell that weakens your arms into a Muay Thai routine).

Of course, you're well within your right to make me play something else. I got a full cast up here in my brain, I'll roll up anything you let me.

[Bandeena]

Wow, interest really has bloomed. I also like the idea of specialties--like an art school, but with magics. Would there be a core curriculum, or would each student work in their focus? And that leads to the question of learned magic versus inherent...

I'll put in my word now, interested as a student. Bunch of different ideas, but I don't want to decide on anything specific yet.

[Inerrant Lust]

Hmm, that's too bad. I figured it would be a bit on the silly side, but nothing else immediately comes to mind. I'll think on it a bit.

[TheSithChicken]

I've been thinking more about the magic system and thought that in addition to what I've already proposed we leave the potential for someone to specialize within a type of magic. The advantage in doing so would of course be a greater mastery of that facet of magic, but at the cost of a weaker command of other magics within their sphere. Also I wonder if summoning should be it's own thing since otherwise I can see it crossing multiple other types of magic since there are so many different kinds of summons.

On the subject of what classes are offered I'd say there does need to be some core classes that everyone is required to take, but not many. My main concern here is that there should probably be some kind of class that is specifically for teaching control and restraint. Out of control magics aren't something most people should be having to deal with on a daily basis and I think I'd find it pretty hard to believe that almost everyone at this school already knows their limits. Having a class dedicated to helping find those limits safely is probably a necessity. I'm sure it could make for some potentially great stories once we get going though.

[Ixy]

Depending on the posting styles-- like how many paragraphs, what level of detail, etc.-- I would like to be considered for a student role.  I rather like the idea of playing either a dabbling necromancer goth-girl or a completely unprepared "scholarship" human girl, for whom magic was (until YESTERDAY) just fantasy.

[deadmanshand]

Angiejuusan - Both of those sound perfectly fine with a slight preference for the student.

Bandeena - There would be a core curriculum but outside of PC Professor classes and the occasional class I would write it would be more fluff than anything. Maybe with the odd, not at all life threatening test.

DarkPrince - Consider that idea stolen accepted. Specialties within spheres will be a thing ...when I write out the pseudo system for the game. Summoning will have to be part of different disciplines rather than it's own thing. Goetic summoning would be worlds different than shamanic spirit calling.

And apropo of nothing I want a witch doctor teacher.

I would imagine that the Headmaster - someone I'd run - would teach the course on control and restraint.

Ixy - I'm not superstrict about posting. Third person, 1-2 paragraphs, and no one liners. Easy enough.

Ayama - Both characters fit to me. Both pictures are awesome too. The second one I find both attractive and terrifying.

[TheSithChicken]

I've been wondering a few things about the world and the school itself. For starters, how big is the school in both physical size and number of people. I'd also like to know if there are any limitations on what is taught or if it's something like in the movie Sky High where they teach you to use your powers, but not what to use them for. Regarding the world, I want some idea how magic is perceived by the rest of the world in general. Is it part of every day life similar to Harry Potter or is it more limited like in the Earth-Sea books where while there weren't a lot of mages every major island had a magus or are magic users the ruling body like the mages in the Dungeons and Dragons movie? Speaking of the world, what kind of state is it in? Generally unified, individualistic but at peace, or maybe some warring areas with the sorcerer's school as a kind of neutral area? Another thing occurred to me as I'm writing this which kind of has to go along with my last one. How do the different races generally see each other i.e. is there racism and if so how widespread is it?

[Angie]

So, here's a character:

Name: Xerah Faye Zanarius (Can it get any more 'exotic' sounding?)
Race: Succubus
Age: 20
Role: Student
Magical ability: Focused on healing
Style: While her method of spellcasting leans towards shamanistic rituals, her spells possess a "gem" motif-wounds are covered by a diamond weave as they magically close, a shield appears as a sapphire cocoon, a 'fire' is actually a large, glowing ruby. These gems fade when the spell is completed.
Personality: Incredibly shy and insecure, Xerah is slow to open up to anyone, as her demonic soul drives her to grab, mate with, and drain anyone she meets. She is also easily scared and 'jumpy'. Occasionally tends to be angry, especially in the mornings, as her mind and soul are in constant battle.

During times of incredible stress, she changes. She becomes more assertive and aggressive, lashing out with magic and demonic claw, intent on protecting her allies and destroying her enemies. She does not become brainless, merely driven. Since this change in personality is marked by a shift in appearance (see below), many wonder if they're not seeing two different people.

Appearance: As a succubus, she has mastery over her appearance, and uses it to look as plain and unassuming as possible. No matter the situation, she makes herself into a face in the crowd, to the point where anyone trying to remember details can only come up with "she was just sorta...normal looking". At the Academy, this tends to be a slim build of average height, with fair skin, brown eyes, black hair, and small breasts. Her clothes also continue this 'average' look, she favors neutral colors and simple shoes.

When she shifts into Demon Xerah, however, her body becomes much more memorable. Her hair turns a silvery-white, her skin turns blue, and she grows a tail about three feet long. Her body also becomes far more voluptuous, as her soul's nature as a succubus spills forth. Anyone can remember this form quite easily.

Bio: Plenty of kids are born not wanting to be what they are. Xerah was born not wanting to be a demon. Slightly different from the aforementioned children. As she progressed through a difficult puberty, her nature as a succubus threatened to overwhelm her at every turn. Her mother did her best to teach the child, but her ability to learn how to control herself was limited by how much Xerah hated what she was. Her mother had the idea to send her to the Academy, where Xerah has picked up healing magic and is slowly starting to learn that being a demon isn't so bad after all. Still has a long way to go, but hopefully she gets some friends along the way.

[deadmanshand]

DarkPrince - Let me answer as much of that as possible. Most of the info on the school will go up tomorrow but it's a large school as it is the only college of magic in the world. So probably a couple hundred students at any one time. I assume the college probably has ethics courses - because it wouldn't be college without highbrow and practically useless courses - but the idea of why to use it is up to the teachers.

As for the world. Every country has it's own views on magic (determined by the first accepted players who makes a character from that country) but magic is not exceptionally rare. It is a high fantasy setting. The map clearly shows distinct nations but how they get along is up to the players of characters from those areas or the Professor who wants to run a field trip in that area of the world. Same for race relations.

This is not a set in stone campaign setting but one that will be built collaboratively.

[Tinkertoy]

I am most definitely interested in this. I also have a bunch of characters that once used to thrive on an old HP site, that I would love to play again. I have one gal in particular that I think would be fun to pull in, if that's alright? I'll just leave her particulars below and you can let me know what you think?

Name: Alba Dellamorta
Race: Human
Age: 19
Role: Student
Magic Preference: Necromancy
Appearance:  Alba stands at an average five foot five on a soft and curvaceous form with skin the colour of fresh cream. Her long, thick, black hair reaches the bottom of her shoulder blades and is usually swept across to the left. She has eyes that sparkle with an unsaid wisdom in a colour reminiscent of antique jade.

Personality:  Alba is fairly quiet, but at the same time is far from a shrinking violet. She has a total inability to lie which has at times led to a cross word or two being thrown in her general direction. When she speaks it is with purpose and finds very little point in talking purely to save from silence. In Alba’s world things are usual at the point of extremes, if she likes something it is practically obsessed over, but on the flipside, if she doesn't like it then she loathes it with great passion. You will always know how she views you, if she likes you them there will be an abundance of smile and compliments, but if she dislikes you she will become quiet and avoid any interaction with you at any cost. Alba seems fairly laid back on the surface, nothing really phasing her that much and it Takes something quite phenomenal to coax a reaction from her.

Bio:For those in the know, the name Dellamorta is one steeped in dark and taboo tradition. The Dellamortas are a clandestine, matriarchal family; the women of the line are born with the unique and greatly misunderstood gift. Their particular talents and ambiguous morals have been employed by light and dark alike, the family never finding concern in the reason for the requirement of their skills, but only in the willingness and ability of their client to pay in full and on time for the services rendered.
The decidedly grim gift of necromancy that is housed in the bodies of the Dellamorta women is as much a part of their DNA as their stunning, jade green eyes. The natural ability is encouraged and nurtured in all female children, the males born seemingly with out the ability. The entire family comes together as a community to instill centuries of knowledge into the new, tiny vessel; converging members of the family across the land once every year, in the place of their origins.
Alba is the only child of Gloria and Gregori and is quite typical of all Dellamorta women. The first signs of her inherited ability presented themselves at the tender age of three: for years returning pair of Olive-sided Flycatchers nested in one of the old redwood trees that lined their property. On an early April morning the household was awoken by the heart wrenching sobs of the young Alba. A tiny, naked fledgling had fallen from the nest and had perished in the fall. Alba had lovingly scooped the little body from the dewy grass and cradled it tightly to her chest. Between the rattling sobs, Gloria deciphered that the chick had told Alba how one of its siblings had pushed it from the nest and to its plummeting death. The child necromancer had instinctively pricked her thumb on a glossy sewing needle to supply the ill fated chick with a vital ingredient to entice the dark spark of life to return to its cold, pink body. In the lack of her knowledge and experience, all she could manage was to make the tiny corpse twitch spastically in her little hands. The failure to return the small bird back to full animation racked the child with guilt and frustration. After her initial brush with the otherworldy ability, the youngest of the Dellamorta clan applied herself religiously to learning as much as she could about the tainted craft of necromancy in hopes of someday being a conduit for the great power she saw housed in the other females of her family.

Sorry for the novella....

[TheSithChicken]

I've figured out what magic I want, but I'm worried about it being too strong. I don't know the limits of what we want to be possible yet so I'll just tell you all what I got so far and you tell me if it needs tweaking or if I need to just figure out something else.
I'd guess most other magic in this world isn't going to have much in the way of magic words if any at all, but that's exactly what this one is all about. I want Rune Magic. Words of power written in runes used to create various magical effects. I've been thinking about this most of the day and quickly decided if I didn't make some limitations it would be ridiculously overpowered. This is not going to be whatever I write becomes reality. Each word gives the user power over what it represents. For example, if I write "element" I can make fire, move water, or manipulate an element in some other way. The more meanings a word has the more I can use it for. The major drawbacks being that I have to write the word down for anything to happen at all and the more meanings a word has the less powerful the effect will be. So if I write out something more specific then I'm more limited in application, but have more power behind it. I also have a limited number of uses before the Rune must be rewritten. If I wrote it using paper and ink I get a single use out of the rune, but if I etch it in a piece of stone I get say three uses. The more lasting the material the more uses I get. Not to mention the time it would take to write new runes when I need to improvise in an emergency.
So I'm not overshadowing other people in their own magical disciplines I also decided that I should never be able to produce an effect of equal or greater strength than someone who uses magic specialized in that effect when writing something general though I might be able to if I write something very specific. Meaning if I write "fire" then any elementalist with power and skill in magic roughly equal to my own should be able to beat me in a direct confrontation between my fire and theirs. This forces me to use my runes in inventive ways to achieve similar results.
If this get's approved I'm hoping it'll give me a wide range of powers without making me overpowered. I've considered how to use this as a Professor or a Student though I would prefer to be a student in which case I'd be starting with the additional limitation of not knowing many Rune Words yet. I'd also like to be able to eventually learn just enough light magic to be able to write using light to eliminate the need for me to carry around a bunch of writing stuff in addition to my pre-prepared runes.
So what does everyone think? Good as is, need tweaking, or should I start thinking about something else?

[deadmanshand]

Tinkertoy - Alba sounds just fine to me.

DarkPrince - Interesting. I always have a soft spot for runic magics but I need to think this one out to make sure it's not too unbalanced. Not that I am super focused on balance (being freeform and all) but it's no fun when one guy overshadows everyone else.

I'm going to try and get some more stuff up for the game tomorrow. As long as I am not in too much pain. I sort of possibly blew out my knee last night and that is making me less than comfortable. But I should be able to do some stuff while on mandated sit on my ass duty.

[Angie]

Ouch, that sucks, man.

[Tinkertoy]

Youch!!! Heal up soon, fella!

[Nowherewoman]

Seconded: feel better Deadmans.

I have a character idea- well, 2, actually, not sure which would fit better. One is a werepanther, probably a student learning to control her shifts- and her hungers in BOTH forms.

The other is a professor, a Corpus mage (body magic/weaponry- the powerful but dangerous ability to basically 'overdrive' the human body and turn it into a full-tilt boogie combat machine, from super speed/reflexes to soaking damage to clawing out bricks with fingertips. VERY energy-intensive, with a high chance of self-injury if not carefully controlled). She'd probably actually teach HtH, since Corpus mages tend to be rare.

Not sure which might fit better, esp. given the magic style.


Either way, she looks like:

[deadmanshand]

@Nowherewoman - I like the the corpus mage idea but both would work just fine.

Now, for everyone, I might not be able to get anything else up for the game till Friday. My knee seems - tentatively - to be getting better but working on it still sucks. So that is sucking up some of my creativity at the moment.

[Ayama]

Really hope your knee gets well fast and that we soon can start playing all together =)

[ShanaTheIV]

Bookmarking. Permission to write a character application? I can play either role, depending on what's needed.

[deadmanshand]

Permission granted.

General Update: My knee is getting better so the prognosis is good. Still more worn out than I would like to admit.

[ShanaTheIV]

Expect one sometime tomorrow then.

[deadmanshand]

Alright. Since this is Thanksgiving and - far more troublingly - Black Friday week I will be holding off on starting the game until this weekend but I have dones some work. First page is now updated with a character sheet. Post your character in that format in this thread and when you are approved I will add you to the Cast List thread and you are free to talk in OOC. Both linked in the first post of this thread.

[ShadowFox89]

 Think I got a character skeleton.... http://oi39.tinypic.com/213gqc.jpg

Flame spec mage who's power is drawn from the djinn bound in her right hand.

[Nowherewoman]

Name : Illianna Venn

Role: Reluctant Student

Where Do You Come From? Deep in the Amazon Fever Lands

Who Are You? Half-human, half...?

Your Story So Far? Illianna's mother was (well, is, probably- as far as anyone knows she's still alive) a rather flighty, credulous, and quirky researcher into folk legends and aboriginal magic. Nineteen years ago, she vanished into the Fever Lands chasing some legend or other, and dropped out of sight.

A year and a half later, she returned, massively (and surprisingly, since she wasn't known to be much interested in men, sex, or family) pregnant. After delivering a daughter, and spending some time recovering from the difficult birth, she vanished again, leaving a note with the name she wished her child to bear, but no forwarding address.

Illy grew up in an orphanage, and turned out to be substantially taller and smarter than her singular known parent- and exponentially hotter. There's a hint of Amazon blood in her appearance and personality, but only a bit; her paternity is a wide-open question. Also sexually precocious, appallingly lazy, and socially aggressive, it wasn't until she got into a fight with a much older boy and mauled him badly, nearly clawing his face off, that anyone, including she herself, realized that there was more to her than a willful, abandoned teenage girl.

What Can You Do? Illianna shows every sign of being a shape-shifter, but a rather unfinished, uncontrolled one. Her changes are only partial, and don't seem to be linked to lunar or stellar cycles- unless they are related somehow to the ebb and flow of her voracious appetites, sexual, epicurean, and otherwise. So far she's been seen to manifest claws and fangs, and to move swiftly on all fours in a rather catlike manner, jumping rather remarkable distances and landing gracefully, but remaining otherwise outwardly human. She thinks her powers are 'cool'. but her innate inertia regarding anything not directly pleasurable, plus her amazingly volatile temper, make it a challenge to either teach her anything or learn more about her condition.

Ilya speaks with a very slight lisp, which has no readily definable physiological cause.  It makes her sound slow, or sleepy, rather than getting in the way of communication. Her black-green eyes also reflect light in a  rather cat-like manner; she has excellent night vision, superb hearing, and an embarrassing sense of smell- she can tell immediately what you've been doing and to/with whom...

What Would You Like To See In The Game? Illy is more of a combat-oriented character than some of mine- laying some smack down on misbehaving Things that Should Not Be would be fun, as would slowly teasing out her (and other folks') origin story.

Sexuality : Omnivorous

Sexual On's and Offs :https://elliquiy.com/forums/onsoffs.php?u=54379, though I doubt Illianna is much into being the one collared and on a leash. Holding it, yes :D

Player : NowhereWoman

[GhettoMagick]

really interested!

[ShadowFox89]

 If we can have two characters, I have an idea for another one... Older brother to the first character idea, and one of the teachers.

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn84/delpoman/88.jpg

Or rather, half-brother. And a LOT older. And just as she has a spirit bound to her soul, he does as well (though a phoenix rather than a djinn and his fire magic is a lot more defensive than offensive). The story behind it is that they're from a tribe of people of mixed race who are born lacking parts of their soul. To fill the void, elemental spirits are bound to them at birth. This has the side effect of giving them access to elemental magic associated with the spirit. The downside is that if you can manage to banish the spirit you effectively render them comatose until another one is bound.

[deadmanshand]

And Illiana is the first finished and approved character in the game!

@Shadowfox89 - As long as you can play two characters consistently I'll allow two. And your ideas sound pretty cool. Might I suggest Desertpunk as an appropriate point of origin?

@GhettoMagick - The more the better.

@Caehlim - Sorry to hear it.

[ShadowFox89]

 Desert punk is where I was thinking, yeah.

[TheSithChicken]

Name : Garrett Fulbright
Role: Student
Where Do You Come From? Norseheim

Who Are You? Appears to be Human, male, about 19 years of age, just shy of six feet tall, dark hair, skin slightly pale from too little sun, most distinctive feature is the ever changing color of his eyes

Your Story So Far? Garrett spent the first few years of his life as peacefully as could be expected in the cold land of Norseheim. His father was a member of the local Jarl's personal guard and his mother was an enchantress (as in item enchanting) who specialized in protective charms. One day, not long after his thirteenth birthday, Garrett was out playing in the forest near his home when the weather took a nasty turn. A blizzard blew in and in the blinding snow, Garrett lost his way, eventually collapsing from exhaustion. He grasped the amulet that had been his mothers gift for his thirteenth birthday tightly praying to be saved. Then finally, darkness overcame him.

When he next woke, it was to the sight of an old man holding a ball of warm light over his chest and his mother crying nearby. He was home. After establishing that there wouldn't be any lasting harm, the old man introduced himself as Mathis Quinn. He explained that he was a Rune Priest and had found Garrett half-buried in the snow. He also explained that he'd felt the his runes resonate with Garrett's will to live during the healing process. This marked Garrett as capable of using them himself, which was a rarity for one so young. It was decided that once Garrett came of age he would learn rune magic first from Mathis and, if he proved capable, would be sent to The Arcanum Scholastica for more advanced instruction.

Garrett is often quiet, due more to getting lost in thought than anything else, and usually takes time to consider his words before speaking. He is creative, likes puzzles, and is quiet skilled in crafts. He is never seen without the amulet he received from his mother and a small book of runes given to him by his first magic teacher Mathis Quinn.

What Can You Do? Rune Magic: Each rune is a word and each word can have a variety of meanings. For each meaning of the word you can get different effects. The more general a word the more possible effects, but the weaker those effects will be. Conversely the more specific a word the more power it will have at the cost of fewer applications. Before any effect can take place, a rune must be written down. The number of uses once written will depend on the materials used. Simple paper and ink can only withstand a single use however more lasting materials such as an etching in stone could be used more. The more lasting the material the more uses before a rune needs to be replaced. Rune Words will be written as such: Fire

What Would You Like To See In The Game? As much variety as is feasible. Combat sports based on or enhanced with magic seems like a good way to get that fighting issue taken care of without making this D&D. School projects, maybe a dance, and lots of field trips so we get to explore some of those interesting places on the map. I'd also like to see marked improvement for the students as time goes on. We are supposed to be learning and becoming more capable after all.

I change my mind. No particular reason. Just not feeling up for it. Good luck though!

Interested; although I wonder if I might be a total dork and play a character (heavily) inspired by one of my favorite comic book characters?  :-[

Zoey Ventress
Role: Student
Where Do You Come From?
Hidden village within the edge of the Black Forest

Who Are You?
A Futanari Dark Elf of over 100 years of age, but appears to look in her late 20's. She's always seen wearing brightly-colored skimpy outfits, often variations of white that matches her platinum blonde hair as it starkly contrasts against her ebony skin. Often her thighs, shoulders, and fingers will always be bare and exposed. She even goes commando given that wearing thongs tend snug uncomfortably against her fleshy assets dangling between her legs. However, even the loincloth she wears tend to reveal the bulge.

Your Story So Far?

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

In her teens, Zoey, like many of her kins, had an natural affinity to dark magic but she became more interested in dabbling with the basic elements of nature. Her skills grew rapidly and her potential was becoming very promising. Unfortunately one day, a horde of demons ransacked her village and abducted all the maidens they could grab their hands on, including Zoey. They were all taken en mass to a deep underground cavern. A demonic succubus warlord named Lusana, had been scattering her minions throughout the forest to abduct beautiful maidens to add to her harem. Of the batch recently collected from the village, Zoey's aura resonated very strongly with the natural affinity for magic than the rest of others abducted from her village as they were mere scouts and patrol guards. Lusana took an interest in the young dark elf and decide to make use of her abilities.

Over the next several decades, Zoey became a personal slave pet to all of Lusana's whimsical desires and lust. She often became more of a milk dispenser for the succubus' unending insatiable lust as the mana often became syphoned through oral sex. Now as a young adult, Zoey decided enough was enough and she would take her revenge. In the following decades, the dark elf attempted to prove her worth that she was more than a mere milk dispenser by training herself as a warrior, in secret. Then when she often manipulated situations that would allow her to fend off some of Lusana's own bruisers, Zoey shown excellent skills as a fighter to the point that the succubus elevated her status to a bodyguard.

Now closer to her goal, Zoey worked her way closer to the warlord by trying to become her personal lover. Having sneaked in Lusana's personal circle, she was able to acquire some knowledge of warlord's potent dark magic that even her village's most talented sorceress have never dabbled in. After several years, Zoey would finally get her revenge. When Lusana assembled her minions to raid a small city outside the Black Forest, Zoey unleashed her wrath and took down the succubus, but it came at a very hefty price. The dark elf was almost drained of her life energy Lusana was pulling out to keep herself alive from the fatal blow. As the warlord lay dying, Zoey was unable to pull herself away and not only did she became driven almost insane by the overwhelming flow of dark magic her body was absorbing, she also started inheriting the intense energy of libido and lust.

Lusana was defeated and her little empire was disbanded sending all of her minions scattering back to the darkness from whence they came. After taking a couple of years to re-cooperate from the most intense battle she has ever endured, Zoey decided to attend an academy and train to become a sorceress that was denied to her years ago.

What Can You Do?
Through her magic, Zoey can manipulate the basic four classical elements to her will: Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. But as a novice, it takes lots of her mana, and she can barely manage two at the sametime. Shadow however, is a racial trait she can already master herself given her time with Lusana. And after learning what little she could from the succubus' collection of dark magic, Zoey learned basic summoning spells, but she's only capable of summoning low-level creatures, often barely having control of and always looking ugly and disgusting. After her battle with Lusana, Zoey's body was changed in subtle ways. Her sexual libido was heightened up and often found herself highly aroused. The sexual perfume constantly emanates from her body and often attracts unwanted monsters and creatures. It is a curse she had to pay for, and her seeds is often sought out by the vile creatures. It is the primary reason she has trouble mastering summoning spells.

What Would You Like To See In The Game?
I'd like to see Zoey's pride sexually ravaged by vile creatures and monsters of the bottom-most lowest food chain. Penis-milking, penile and vaginal oviposition, and her sex becoming infested with milk-hungry slithering parasites. I'd also like to see some bit of light vore, if only the purpose is to serve to subject the victim to rape and milking by smaller and lesser creatures. Breeding and impregnating in reproductive organs, preferably through the male organs.

Sexuality:
She's only attracted to female types, including futas, shemales, and even femboys.

Sexual On's and Offs:
Receiving oral sex from anything or anyone. Will only give oral sex to females, futa, shemales, and femboys. Will only give anal sex to femboys and shemales only if for the fact they don't possess vaginas. And she will not do extensive anal play. This includes: Fingering, tossing salad, rimjobs, Dirty sanchez, chilli dogs, etc. Anything that belongs in the toilet and/or things related to them is a no-no! No gore or anything that involves permanent damage. I'm into partial nudity. For more questions refer to my On and Offs.

Player: Biles

[deadmanshand]

@Biles - While this game is open to sexual activity what you are looking for your character to experience will not be. Sex is a part of the setting but I did not intend for it to be a major factor in any storylines I may present. I, obviously, cannot speak for any professors and their field trips.

And vore isn't kosher for the game at all. That belongs in the extreme category if I understand Elliquiy's categories at all. Mostly the game is NonCon-Exotic to give the students and professors some freedom. I will personally not be writing NonCon scenes for the game.

[ShadowFox89]

Name : Ryn'Hethil Nyst'Berai (goes by Ryn however)
Age: Mid-30's, although she looks no older than 19. Yay elven blood!
Role: Professor or Student
Where Do You Come From? Desert Punk- a place where magic and mundane is so intertwined it is hard to tell one apart from another. Though humans and elves are the two main races it's nearness to the coast means there are many other races who call it home.

Who Are You? Ryn is a half-elf, descended from a clan of elves who through an ancient curse (or blessing, depending upon whom you ask) are born with only half a soul. At birth they must undergo a ritual which fuses half of their soul with a powerful elemental spirit. The stronger a spirit that the individual can be merged with, the more potent their magic.

Your Story So Far? Ryn was born into Nyst'Berai, one of the ancient elf clans of Desert Punk. Her family traditionally bears spirits of fire, though she was born only half-elf. While her father was human, her elf mother meant she would be born with a half-spirit, and thus underwent the right of spiritual transfusing upon birth. Of the spirits selected to be bound within her, the djinn was found to be most in tune with her energies. Ryn grew up in her family's estate, though not a favored child as she was only a half-blood, she still received a fairly decent education. It was several years before Ryn settled on a path in life. Her main passion was swordplay, and for a time she was a member of her family's guard. This allowed her, among other things, the chance to visit other lands when her elders went on visits. More than once, however, Ryn had been caught in the halls of a foreign castle with some prince's hands down her clothing.
Her (pardon the pun) fiery nature was of course, something anticipated. After all, Djinn were strong willed and proud creatures. However, Ryn was presented with an ultimatum. Choose an academy from among the land's school or be married off to another family. Ryn, of course, chose the school. She selected the Sorcerer Academy, as her elder brother was a professor of fire magic there.

What Can You Do? Ryn is a fire mage, as her djinn spirit provides some natural control over flame. In addition, she can draw upon her spirit's physical enhancing abilities, giving herself great speed, strength, and stamina for short bursts. Ryn is also a trained swordfighter and skilled

What Would You Like To See In The Game? Potential political intrigue between students who are part of rival houses or even nations, dark powers wanting to kidnap students. Maybe students getting challenged to magical duels for the chance to date other students.

Sexuality : Bisexual. Elven culture in Desert Punk is fairly welcoming so long as those responsible for passing on bloodlines do so.
Sexual On's and Offs : Ryn enjoys the struggle of being tied up, the thrill of potentially being caught. If it's something to get her blood boiling, it's something that'll get her hot.

[deadmanshand]

Whatever you want.

[BeeJay]

Cool. Just finished my character seconds ago. Voila!

Name: Roki Forsdotter
Role: Student
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Hailing from: Forsson Chiefdom, Norseheim

Identity: Forsson Chiefdom Heir-Apparent, daughter of chief Bordweir Forsson. Reluctantly attending the Sorcerer’s Academy to hone her prodigious magical talent and her fearsome temper in preparation for succeeding her father as chief.

Background: As the daughter of the noble Fors line of Norseheim, Roki has always been able to do whatever she liked with whomever she liked. Just like the rest of her bloodline, Roki is a forceful and fearsome leader of her people, although she can be quite fickle. Leading her father’s army since she was 14 years old, she has never lost a battle, but she usually does very little leading at all. She prefers to barrel into combat, spells and weapons flying, men dying in her wake. Every battle won under her command has ended in massive casualties for both sides, though her enemies almost never leave the battlefield alive.

Her erratic nature has caused her father to worry for the future of the Chiefdom, so on her 17th birthday he told her that she must go to school to receive a proper education. When Roki refused outright, Bordweir locked her up in her room until she complied. Instead of agreeing, Roki challenged her father to a duel for her freedom and the throne. Bordweir let her free, and a savage battle began. They fought for three weeks in the wilderness, scavenging food and shelter to rest between bouts, all of which ended in draws. Finally, Bordweir was victorious over his boisterous daughter and she was promptly sent away to Sorcerer’s Academy. As she left, her father commanded that if she did not come back with enough sense to lead her people, she would be married off to worthy successor and become a subservient queen instead. Roki spit in Bordweir’s face as the cart she was strapped to began rolling down the path toward Academy. A manly tear rolled down Bordweir’s craggy face as pride in the strength of his daughter welled up inside him.

Capabilities: The specialty of magic users in the Forsson lands is their ability to create arms and armor from spirit energy. They can encase their bodies in translucent armor and conjure any weapon they desire to do combat. Roki is a particularly prodigious user of this magic, which is called Einherjar. Einherjar is shamanic in nature and calls upon the strength of ancestors past, bringing their great power to bear in physical combat.

Desires and Ambitions: Roki is the quintessential free spirit and wishes only live life as she sees fit. She curses her father for making her attend this hoity-toity magic school and wishes she would wander free in the wilds of her homeland again. While she’s here, though, she would love to explore the wild places and interact with the animals on the island. Roki has always felt a special bond with animals and monsters. Many of her best friends and lovers have come from the evergreen forests and harsh tundras of her home, and she never seems to feel as at home in the company of other humans.

Roki loves a good fight, be it a tavern brawl or life and death combat, and must scratch that itch every now and then. Seeing as she was about to be surrounded by pasty, squishy mage types, she doubted she would be able to get a decent fight for a while.

Sexuality: Bisexual
Ons and Offs: Roki finds men and women to be too fragile for her romantic tastes, although she used to often partake in her countrymen. She has yet to find a man or woman who isn’t instantly submitting to her as soon as they enter the bedroom. She does the deed, forcing her partners down and having her way with them, all while longing for someone stronger than her to come and force her. That’s why she usually prefers the sexual company of beasts and monsters, because they are usually comparable in power to her and their natures usually instruct them to dominate her. However, because of her great strength and willpower, she generally has to willingly submit to these creatures, because she is almost always capable of dominating them. Her dream is to finally meet a sexual partner strong enough to hold her down and fuck her brains out.

uhoh...just read Ryn's bio. I see some serious nocturnal hide-and-seek in her future... :D ...or did you mean caught as in potentially public sex, ShadowFox? And Ily and Roki...oh boy. Kiss the cafeteria goodbye, if they get into a scrap.

I read Illy's profile right after I hammered out Roki's personality. I'm looking forward to it!

Ryn is a big thrillseeker, and potentially getting caught in the middle of having sex is a turn on for her.

[deadmanshand]

Sorry about that, ShadowFox. Consider it taken care of.

BeeJay your character is approved. Welcome aboard.

[BeeJay]

Thank you, dead. I'm happy to be involved.

[TheSithChicken]

Anyone know what kind of classes they want to have?

[ShadowFox89]

I'm planning a class on spirits and elemental magic for my teacher. Spirit class will involve negotiating pacts with spirits, summoning them, and keeping them at bay.

[deadmanshand]

I wouldn't say that everyone can learn anything and everything. Maybe you will learn bits and pieces of other magics but it's closer to taking multiple science classes when all you care about is chemistry. You might not do the others but understanding them enhances your understanding of your own. The classes are more of a well rounded education kind of thing. It's meant to be a roleplaying scene.

[ShadowFox89]

 Well, let's say you use runes to create a blast of fire or wall of rock, that's all elemental magic isn't it? Runes are just the transmission source, element is the power. Same with spirits, using runes to bind one in place is still rune magic right?

[Silk]

I suppose one way to think about it is that although your character may only be proficient in one type of magic, it is expected that you would at least have a grounding knowledge of other magics to recognize it when your out in the field and know how to deal with it appropriately.

[ShadowFox89]

 Huh... well, what I was thinking was that teachers would be teaching the concepts of magic. There's more than one way for magic to manipulate elements after all.

[D12]

How many actual professors are there at the moment?
Just curious because the character I started a while back; before getting distracted, is slated to be a professor.

Theme

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyLml-zzXzw

Name : Felix Kaiser, goes by. (Actual identity unknown)
Age: Seventeen
Role: Student
Where Do You Come From? Ninja Country

Who Are You? Human?

Your Story So Far?
As did all royals within his line have done, Felix went through training at school at a young age. He was quickly excelled in hand to hand combat, stealth, various tricks of information gathering. lock picking, and much more; but unlike his older brother, he was not a prodigy, and even when he done better than most other students he was still scorned within his family from not being as great as the example his elder counterpart had once set out.

Things steadily continued to tumble downhill with the war; although the Ninja country may of not been as involved as others, still there were dealings going on behind the scenes. Mainly involving Felix’s elder brother and the leaders of the Hellfire Imperium.. Shortly a few years later the ruler of the Ninja County mysteriously died and afterwards Felix’s older brother ascended the throne. Still the strangeness of events didn’t end there; males that may had ties of possible heirs were soon sent off to other countries, some of which never being heard from again or ultimately written out behind the scenes.

Felix may of suffer similar fate if he didn’t accidentally eavesdrop on one of the conversations between a representative of the Hellfire Imperium and his brother. Their next target for operations was without a doubt Felix and the young lad at the time heard much more than that. Alarmed for his safety, he made his escape from the castle; yet not without drawing the attention from his dearest and elder brother.

The boy suffered graved wounds considerably fatal and was left to die within the forest. He may have had if he didn’t stumble upon a shrine of the spirit of the country. Seeing Felix’s injuries, the spirit offer to heal them, but it would cost the boy his power over the use of magic to mend injuries that grave. Unwilling to easily part with such, another suggestion was made in addition. If he wished for power he would have to make a sacrifice for such. The end result was that he was healed and in addition lost most of his vision to harness the spirit of Darkness.

Over time through his travels he came across the Spirit of Sand within the desert regions; another pact was made and the sacrifice far greater, but not to a grave end. Essentially, his entire existence would remain unknown, things he may do, he won't be remembered for them, be they good or bad. In time he would find loopholes around this, using a false identity aided to keeping some manner of presence if he took an extended stay in towns or cities, but after a good amount of time away from the people he may of met and returning, he would only find himself forgotten by them. The name given they may still vaguely recall, but his image is lost to them. The life of a 'phantom' from there had its ups and downs and inevitably he ended up 'enrolling' within the Academy in order to track down the other spirits to broaden his powers and exact his revenge on those who had wrong him and many others before him within his village.

What Can You Do? Summoner. Invokes the use of Celestial Spirits through pactmaking to strengthen himself or give himself other attributes. He cannot presently call upon multiple spirits at one time as that is a more advance technique. He can also use Celestial magic of that element, although he cannot actively use both magic and whatever buffs the spirits may give him at the same time. More advance techniques can bring the spirit in form, but at his level he can only initiate rituals that are time consuming if he wishes for them in the 'physical realm.' He can still pretty much communicate with the ones freely that he is in a pact with as they are a part of him.

Celestial Spirits

Pegasus, Spirit of Wind

Oni, Spirit of Darkness

Nymph, Spirit of Earth

Oread, Spirit of Sand

Efreet. Spirit of Fire

Cherufe, Spirit of Lava

Angel, Spirit of Light

Cyclops, Spirit of Metal

Raiju, Spirit of Lightning

Nix, Spirit of Water

Yuki-onna, Spirit of Ice

Devil, Spirit of Aether

How Pacts are Made: Pacts can be acquired by various methods.
I. Sacrifice. The pact maker sacrifices something of his/her, the stronger the sacrifice the greater the bond. This is often viewed as a 'taboo' method of gaining power through spirits.
II. Victory. If the pact maker can prove to be stronger than the spirit and defeat them in single combat, it is a sure fire method of gaining their respect and power. The offset of this, is that it can be a lethal outcome, there is no telling if the pactmaker will be strong enough to properly subdue or force the spirit into admitting defeat.
III. Contract. Another common method, the pact maker and spirit both form a contract to one another with their own sets of goals to achieve; however, if the contract is broken, the pact maker will lose any further pursuit of acquiring that spirit.

Pacts Made:
Oni - Sacrificed Vision (Near blind without glasses)
Oread - Sacrificed History (Those who may once knew him have forgotten him, and those that recently meet him after his pact will even have fuzzy memory of who he is- no matter the time he may spend with them once he leaves their company(for an extended period of time.) Despite any great or misdeeds he may do or done, he will never be remembered for them in history.)

Silk and ShadowFox - You are both right really.

D12 - At the moment? Just me.

Drake - I like the character so far.

I really put this game up at a bad time originally. Severely underestimating how busy/sick (couple of times in the hospital)/injured (6 shoulder dislocations and counting in the last month!) I would end up being. But that is all coming to an end soon. Work is slowing down and I am finally getting some time to recover. As such I will be posting more often and plan on getting the first post for this game up this weekend.

[Nowherewoman]

Found a much better, more 'Amazonian' looking avi for Illy (the amazingly gorgeous Joan Smalls- WANT!), and, as discussed w/Deadman, will be putting together a staff member as well, a guardian golem that patrols the grounds and halls at night.

[BeeJay]

I like the change, nowherewoman. She is lovely and looks my exotic.

[Nowherewoman]

Thanks, BeeJay! I love the orignal avi, but the new one just feels more right.

And here's my Dybbuk:

Name : Zhonn

Role:Staff

Where Do You Come From? The Academy

Who Are You? Guardian Golem

Your Story So Far?
Zhonn is one of the wonders of the Academy, predating the current class of students by centuries, and at least most of the faculty by some time: a seven-foot tall androgynous statue of purest, polished ivory, inlaid with traceries of alchemical silver, and having uncannily bright and humanlike blue eyes (some say they are human eyes, embedded in the statue and ensorcelled to stay forever fresh, granting Zhonn transmundane vision). During daylight hours, Zhonn mostly remains in a niche just to the left of the main portal of the Great Hall; at night, it patrols the halls and grounds, warding the Academy against intruders.

The animatron, while required by its nature to obey direct commands given by any faculty or staff member, is fairly autonomous, and can converse clearly, if sometimes a bit slowly, in a high, childlike but oddly resonant voice. While technically required to ensure students do not break curfew, it seems interested in 'human' behavior, emotion, and sexuality, so often, if there is nothing more threatening than a game of Birds and Bees going on in an out of the way place, it will observe and guard rather than interrupt.

What Can You Do?
While normally sedately slow-moving, Zhonn can sprint surprisingly rapidly for short distances in order to close the range between it and an intruder. Immensely strong, it's quite capable of tearing an armored being in half with its bare hands; for tougher miscreants, it carries a blacksteel zweihander on its back. The magic and wards that animate its resilient body serve to protect it from common spells. An unusually hot magical fire would cause the golem quite a bit of damage, and it likely can be affected in many other ways- but by design NOT by any magic a student would ordinarily be able to muster.

It's known that Zhonn's disturbing, unblinking eyes allow it to see in total darkness; it's also rumored that it can, at least to some degree, detect invisible or otherwise masked living beings within its cone of vision. There's a joke going around that it can tell you what color your underwear is, assuming you're wearing any; the truth of this is yet to be determined.

What Would You Like To See In The Game?  Zhonn could go several ways, from ravaging combat avenger to quietly curious outsider. (s)he(it) can, I think, flow with just about anything that happens.

Sexuality : Non/unknown

Sexual On's and Offs : https://elliquiy.com/forums/onsoffs.php?u=54379, though, as an observer, most of these do not apply.

Name: Raven Arella Roth; Lady Raven
Role: Professor, specialties in Astral Projection, Ethereal Entities, and Foresight.
Where Do You Come From?
The City of Shrines; far to the east nestled in the mountains is the City of Shrines, a small city dedicated to the pursuit of enlightenment through spiritual and academic advancement, and the absolute abolition of violence. The citizens of the city are entirely pacifistic and do not believe violence is justified under even the most extreme of circumstances. The prophetess-leader of City teaches that it is better to die than to perform an act of violence to protect one's self.

The city is thusly highly xenophobic, believing that almost all outsiders are violent criminals; particularly those who have crossed the Blasted Hellmouth as demons are commonly found trying to enter the City of Shrines, either through coercion or illusion. The city itself is protected by powerful magical wards, and nearly every citizen possesses basic magical skill and all citizens are expected to 'volunteer' a portion of their arcane power to power the city's wards.

The city has no currency and does not acknowledge material wealth of any kind. All goods produced within the city are considered to be owned by entire city, and due to copious use of conjuration and creation magic by the city's population the people want for little. Although due to City's teachings against opulence, excess and materialism most, if not all, of the city's production are based on need, not want.

Who Are You? A tiefling.
Her father a lord of hell from the Blasted Hellmouth, her mother a white witch from the Witchlands. She is product of rape, not of violence but deception. The demon lord Typhon disguised himself as a handsome traveler to woe the lady Arella Roth, a powerful sorceress of the White Witches. He revealed himself after inseminating the sorceress.


Your Story So Far? Rachel spent her entire childhood within the City of Shrines. Where her she was raised to use her natural magical talents for the benefit of the community. Unsurprisingly she proved to have a natural aptitude for sorcery both beneficial and detrimental, and as insurance that she would grow to follow the 'true path' Rachel was taken under the direct tutelage of Azar, the reincarnated sorceress-pontifex of the City.

Under Azar's guidance, Rachel grew to master many school of magic; with the notable exception of dark magic, the very mention of which is both taboo and criminal within the City of Shrines.


What Can You Do?
Tenuous Soul-Tether: Due to Rachel's unique paternity, her mortal soul is not as firmly connected to her physical form as most. This has a number of effects, the foremost of which is that Rachel is a natural at Astral Projection, and finds less resistance when separating her Soul Self from her Physical Self.

Soul Self Sorcery: Rachel's primary is to separate her spirit or Soul Self from her physical body allowing it to act independently. When so separated her physical form is placed in a death-like state while her spirit or Soul Self might be likened to an immensely powerful poltergeist; capable of manipulating objects large and small, casting spells, possessing people, animals, and objects, and dragging people or objects, including her unconscious physical body, into alternate planes or through them as a means of teleportation. Rachel's Soul Self might be considered among the most powerful spirits currently in existence.

Prolonged separation of her physical and spiritual selves can result in death.

Planar Experience: Rachel has spent much of her life having practiced Astral Projection and exploring the transitive planes; the Astral, Ethereal and Shadow Planes. She is an authority on those planes, traversing them, and dealing with their inhabitants.

Sorcery: Rachel spent the majority of her life in the City of Shrines, where the practice of sorcery is as common place as the practice of agriculture. Furthermore she was personally tutored by the High Prophetess Azar possibly one of the most powerful White Mages in the world.

Felix Kaiser sounds awesome, but how are you thinking of handling the other characters forgetting about you all the time in this kind of group setting? Don't get me wrong the idea sounds really interesting I'm just not sure how it would work for a story with so many people that probably need to be aware of each other.

Also I volunteer to write up cultures for various races if anyone has a basic idea or just wants to see something in the game that no one has a character from or has written about yet. Give me a starting point and I'll come up with something.

Haha, thanks. ^^

I was thinking more of the effect acting as 'extended' absence from others company other than immediately happening. To the extent of absence, unsure, maybe in game weeks. I would imagine any longer than that, the effect would trigger on those he has not been within the presence of for that amount of time. Which may or may not lead to teachers forgetting him or certain students; though given the present small nature of the game, I am sure all acting members would be in his company so at most it may just work on the various NPCs or even the Guardian Golem thing or (s)he/it may sense some strange abnormalities of magic surrounding him from his previous sacrifices.

Well... I'm not a big fan of doctor's visits but I was not so gently forced to have one today. The news is not my favorite. I need further tests. Lots of them. Neurological tests to determine if I've lost more of my sense of pain. Getting dangerously close to becoming legally disabled on that one. And I need some tests to determine if I need surgery on my shoulder... and knee... and possibly my thigh. Sigh.

I remember being an athlete at one point and now my body is tearing itself apart.

That was closer to self pity than I like to get so back to the main issue. I'm in a lot of pain and not sleeping particularly well. My energy is becoming something of a precious commodity. As such I don't really have the energy to spare for running a group game at the moment.  One on one games are easier to do with my current issues. Sorry. I would have very much liked to run this game but real life... *shrugs*

If anyone else would like to take over I am okay with that. If not I hope to get to write with you all at some point.

I hope you feel better, deadmanshand. :( Rest up and heal. Hope we can write together some time.

*hug* Life is, Deadman.  Take care of yourself, we'll take care of us.
