    Plot

    In the modern day life, many things go unnoticed through out the world. These things are all cleverly concealed, holding secrets of the planet. Secrets that are only revealed to the ones who have the power TO reveal them. The world remains oblivious to the underlying society concealed by magic and mystery. This society consists of the wonder that normal humans only dream about. A world filled with wonders that seem to only exist in fairy tales. This world is inhabited by humans who have found ways to harness their life energy to do spectacular things such as magic and skills. The ways to use this life energy were categorized by the technique and ritual they were utilized. These categories of usage were Knights, Wizards, Snipers, Ninjas, Samurai, and many more smaller unclassified groups. Humans who learned to harness their energy to to perform skills specific to their grouping are sent at a young age to the four schools of battle, placed all over the world. These schools are Lancaster - in the green fields of England, Darkhorn - In the frozen Tundra in Nothern Canada, Riomahri - in the dense humid jungles of South America, and Sahri - located in the dry deserts of Africa. These schools each pride themselves on how well they raise their students who grow up to carry covert missions to maintain peace in the world without the knowledge of average humans. At these schools, the students learn to hone their abilities, and how to properly cover their weaknesses and amplify their strengths in order to maintain the balance of the planet. To do so, they are sent on various missions to prove team work and strength and build themselves. But the schools do not teach just to maintain peace...they teach also in order to compete. In times of peace, the four schools of battle meet for the unique competition of pitting their best students against each other in friendly fighting tournaments where high powered people come to see which school is producing the best fighters. The students of these schools are always training and working to prove themselves to their peers and elders alike. Lately though... Darkhorn has been rather reclusive and quiet... it seems like something is astir over there... This is where you come in!

    Your Role
    You are a first year student at Lancaster: School for battle. It is a college like atmosphere, where you attend daily classes while learning new techniques and making your current ones stronger. Missions are issued to the students in teams of 4 and usually consist of simple tasks such as monster extermination. There will also be various battle exams which you will be given through the years that i will issue randomly and of course. Final Exams which consist of fighting tournaments in the Colosseum.

    Classifications
    Knight​
    The knight is generally the least conservative about using life energy. Though they make up for it with the weapons they wield. Their weapons usually consist of, two hand swords, Lance/Spear, shield and sword as the most common. Despite their name, knights do not appear like normal knights of mythology. Most wear thin armor as to not hinder movements, as opposed to the clumsy clanky armor of the far past. Along with the many different kinds of weapons, knights have many different levels of life energy usage. The different classifications of a knight are Rune Knight, which are knights with specific magic branded into their weapons. Each weapon can only hold a specific amount of Runes and more powerful Runes take up more than one slot. There are also Dragon Knights who are bonded with a dragon at birth. The individual's battle strengths are never very strong. But once they achieve the final stage power where they combine with their dragon, their power increases exponentially. But this is a skill for advanced Dragon Knights only. Dragons grow to large sizes but the average size for a dragon our age is about shoulder high max.

    Wizard
    Clearly the best at utilizing their life energy. The Wizards use their life energy to control and manipulate the forces of nature to their will. Wizards cast these spells with long chants and verses to summon their spells. Wizards can be split into the magics of healing magic, which obviously heals. Dark Magic, which is dangerously damaging magic which consume large amounts of time and chants to unleash. And Elemental Magic which is the harnessing the natures energy and having control over the elements (Water, Fire, Lightning, Wind, Earth, Ice) though not all elemental spells are offensively oriented. Beginning Wizards learn to use two of these at an early age, and can mix the two. The Wizard always carries an amplifier which increases the power of their spells and can be considered their weapon. These are a large array of items, usually containing sentimental value (Necklace, Ring, Wand, small dagger, etc)

    Sniper​
    The Snipers are the few battlers who are restricted to certain weapons. These fighters tend to be mediocre at mid level magics of their element and have impeccable aim. They use their element to amplify their choice of shooting style though their magic tends to become weaker as their shooting distance increases. There are 3 types of Sniper. Crossbow, mid-ranged, and long-ranged. Crossbow tend to have moderately powerful magic that they pack into small arrows that fire very quickly, but tend to be inaccurate. Mid-ranged have the middle of both worlds, carrying a moderately sized bow and arrow and having mediocre magic ability. Long range Snipers carry large over sized bows and rarely are seen in the heart of the battle field. They have small amounts of magical ability for they spent most of their childhood learning to carefully aim their massive bow and arrow to hit targets over 300 meters away.​

    Ninja​
    The ninja are the mediocre battlers of the battling community. They are not very physically powerful, and also possess weak grasp of elemental attacks. The ninja rarely has an elemental affinity and uses a very weak, wide variety of elemental techniques, and are mostly for sneaking around and gathering information. This being said, they aren't to be taken lightly in a fight. Their nimble bodies and quick thinking often give them an edge over their opponents one on one and in groups. The ninja often carries an assortment of the given tools but usually not all. Shurikens, Kunai, ninja sword, Nunchaku, Flail, smoke bombs, floor spikes, small grade explosives.​

    Samurai​
    The Samurai are people who harnessed their energy and put it towards their swords, style, and technique. They can channel their energy into the swords and deal fast, lethal blows. The Samurai are truly feared since they are so hard to read in battle. No two samurai are ever alike and their techniques can range from long range to short range depending on how they manipulate their weapons. Samurai equipment always consists of a katana. The only real variable is if they decide to use two katana or just one.​

    If you have a different subclass you would like to add, PM me and ask or place it in your application for debate

    Faculty​
    The Dean: A slim older man, appearing to be around age 70. His hair has a grayed whispy look to it and is completely combed back. His eyes are cold and black but still have a gentle appearance to them. He wears a simple black tuxedo with bow tie, and leans most of his weight on a thin black cane in front of him. He runs the school with no questions asked. He is the absolute last word on any disagreement. It is known that he was once a great fighter, but nothing is known about his style or exactly how strong he is.

    Kiki Kiribayashi (Professor Kiki)
    : The Elemental Control teacher of any level. She is a small woman, barely reaching 5 feet tall. She has deep purple hair that is drawn back into small pig tails with small strands of hair drooping over her forehead which could scarcely be called 'bangs'. She wears large thick round glasses and has fair skin with large eyes with purple irises. When teaching she wears a long drooping sorceress' gown which fits her slim figure. She has no upper body strength, but being the teacher who blocks the First Year attacks every year with her barrier magic, she definitely makes up for her lack of strength with her skill in the various magics. She is a master of elemental magics and very accomplished in the healing and dark arts. Her amplifier is a small book she carries with her at all times but she rarely taps into its power to use her spells. Professor Kiki teaches through a trial and error technique. Meaning most of her students leave class every day, bruised, beaten, or charred to a crisp. She has a firm belief that "if you want to learn to fire at a battle target. you should be battling." and "If you want to learn a defense spell, you should learn by defending against big spells" She is small but one of the roughest teachers on campus.

    Bardok Stonehide (Professor Stonehide or Bardok Sensei): A large muscular man, reaching at least 6'5. He is the teacher of all Close Combat and defense courses. He has short cut spikey brown hair that leads into rugged side burns that cut down his face. To teach he always wears a green tank top with camouflage pants and black combat boots. Your typical drill sergeant look. Bardok is a master of hand to hand combat and his particular weapon of choice is a simple pair of brass knuckles that he wears on his fists. He can expel large amounts of life energy into these knuckles and punch with enough force to split the Earth. His raw strength isn't rivaled by any other faculty member. He has a tendency to pick favorites in his classes and likes to shut down cocky fighters by having them perform impossible tasks in front of the entire class, to knock them down a peg. It is sometimes said that he can't be cut in battle.

    Heidi Star (Professor Star): The teacher of all the Bow and Arrow classes. She is a well known Sniper through out the land. She is a medium height woman, reaching 5'8 and very slinder. She has strawberry blond hair that reaches down to her mid back. A very beautiful woman, *usually the male student's favorite female teacher* she is well versed in the ways of every projectile weapon possible. Her aim is accurate within 1mm of any given target from up to 400meters away. It is sometimes said that no movement can escape her eyes. Compared to other faculty members she is also the nicest teacher. She doesn't beat her students to teach them, but rather enforces their abilities and recognizes strengths about their styles and exploits them to further their abilities. Although she does carry a bow around with her, she does not fire actual arrows. She has advanced her magic to the point where she can form arrows from magic and shoot them in any element she wishes.

    Name: Fenra (Fen) Kurai
    Gender: male
    Age: 17

    Class: Sniper - Long Range
    Primary Weapon: Fen carries a long white bow with each side shaped like a pure white angel wing. The edges of the bow or sharpened for emergency close combat. The bow releases a loud booming sound with every arrow fired, due to the sheer size of the bow. His arrows are long and thick for powerful shots from long distances. Because of the loud sound it makes and the shape of the bow... Fen named his bow, Angel's Song.

    Elemental Affinity: Wind

    Description: Fenra stands about 5'8 and weighs roughly 140 pounds. He has shorter olive green hair with bangs that swoop sideways to the left over his face and has a soft look to it. He has lightly tanned skin and sea blue eyes and a normally happy expression on his face. He wears a tight fitting black t-shirt and brown slim fitted cargo pants. He keeps various supplies inside the pockets of the cargo pants. Under the pants he wears thick black boots with very thick soles so he can maintain grip anywhere he needs to, so he can get the best shot. Along his left arm he has a typical mark of an archer, a thick brown leather arm guard to prevent being bruised by the string of his bow. Fen carries his massive bow, Angel's Song, Vertical on his back and the long arrows it uses, near his waist, tilted slightly to the side for easy access. Fen is a very quick kid as well. His limber build allows him to escape and move fast to a better vantage point, away from one on one combat.

    Personality: Fen has mood shifts depending on the scenario. Outside of mission or battles, Fen is a typical kid. He clowns around a lot and tends to be overly sarcastic at times. He enjoys Lancaster and everything about it, especially the girls who he would not hesitate to sit under a tree and watch walk by all day. The cautious nature of his chosen class, leads him to have a very passive and patient persona though. He never feels hurried, and rarely sees a reason to rush things, especially in mission time. However, during missions, he is quite different. Fen tends to be withdrawn and silent, even on radio transmition between team mates. He prefers to tune out all of the chatter and focus on his duty at hand since he only gets 2 maybe 3 shots tops before his location is discovered and has to relocate his sniping position.

    Techniques: Right now Fen has 3 techniques, crucial to his Sniping.
    Jet stream - Fen uses weak wind magic to slightly bend the air currents, allowing his arrow to more accurately hit its mark

    Sonic Boom - The opposite of Jet Stream, the arrow itself is charged with weak wind. It is less accurate but has a wider area of damage.

    Whirlwind - Fen spins, sweeping his bow in a wide motion and using weak wind magic which kicks up dust around him providing enough of a cover for him to escape to another sniping point

    Additional Information: Fen came to Lancaster, following in his parent's foot steps. They are both accomplished wind masters. His mother, a Wind Sage (powerful witch specializing in Wind) and his father is a powerful Heavy Blade Knight. Both are notable graduates of Lancaster and expect a lot of Fen.

  • Name: Brad Matthews
    Gender: Male
    Age: 14

    Class: Paladin- Basically, a knight who can use magic. Uses one sword/lance etc. This weapon is branded with magic, but also amplifies the user's magic attacks, usually of the same type. If they use dark magic, they do not have an elemental affinity. If they use dark magic, it is used saying a few words instead of a lot. In battle, they wear heavy armor. To be a Paladin, you must be strong, in mind and body. It is rigorous, especially if you follow the path of dark magic. This is for debate.
    Primary Weapon: His longsword, Apocalypse. With the darkness sealed within it, Brad uses great power.

    Elemental Affinity: He uses Dark magic, therefore making him unable to use elemental magic.

    Description: Brad looks like a badass, in simple terms. Outside of battle, he wears a red leather jacket, with a black pentagram on the back. It is his only piece of clothing on his torso, but he often wears it and shows his abdomen. His pants are blue jeans, dark blue in shade. They show signs of wear, but aren't ripped. In his pocket, he carries his iPhone, black and red in color. Occasionally, he listens to it. Around his neck is a pentagram, made of rubies and onyx. It was a gift to him for his birth. His alligator leather belt, black in color, also holds the ornate golden sheath for Apocalypse. The sheath has a black flame pattern on much of it. Apocalypse is long, black in color with some gold. It starts straight, curves in a tiny bit, then curves out again before ending at a sharp "V" point. At the other end, the handle juts out in two separate directions, each ending in a diamond. This handle is made of gold/rubies. Then, after the jutting ends, it goes down for a few inches, and ends with a sapphire pommel. Apocalypse is an ancient heirloom. In battle, he wears white titanium armor, with intricate flame patterns in black all over the armor. He wears no helmet, but otherwise he is defended from any projectile attack. With swords, people must go for the head, or use magic. However, this armor, also an heirloom, has special spells placed on it, making it better defended against magic attack. Although the armor slows him down a tiny bit, it protects him well against any type of attack. Brad himself is 6'5". Being an albino, he has pale, deathly white skin, blood red eyes, and white hair. His covers his forehead, and goes down in back. It is smooth. His body tone is muscular, from long training. He is graceful and fast. He always trains his muscles to become faster with his heavy armor, known as Chaos. His eyes, in a more slit shape, look sinister and evil. His nose is small, and his earlobes are attached to his head. His legs take up half of his body, and are long, graceful and muscular. His torso, as I said, is also muscular, and his arms are like his legs- graceful and muscular. His limber and muscular build allows him to perform powerful barrages of sword attack, even with heavy armor. He is the fastest out of anyone in the school, even with the armor.

    Personality: In and out of battle, Brad is a loner. Preferring to keep to himself, Brad often thinks in his mind, or goes to train. He also enjoys class, diligently learning and becoming better. He is often, but not always, the smartest kid in class. He also enjoys taking advanced courses. On the subjecto f missions, he likes monster killing, but doesn't like working in teams- he wants individual missions. However, he won't complain. He is diligent in training and intelligence, but neglects his social life. He never really talks to many people, and enjoys sitting alone, on his bed, listening to music. Like any kid going through puberty, he is starting to feel attracted to girls, but still stays in his protective lonely shell. He is cold, almost emotionless. Many people avoid him, due to this. The darkness of his chosen path engulfs his mind, keeping him lonely and cold. His favorite hobby is training. On missions, he is also quiet, listening to orders, following them quickly, and coming back. You'd think Brad would want friends after so much loneliness, but, quite frankly, he enjoys the silence in his mind and environment, the relaxing comfort of being alone. Another thing that alienates people is his lack of compassion and his merciless ruthlessness. He cares about no one but himself and his family. He is desensitized to death- he is always first finished on assasinations or killings because he can and will kill without hesitation. Some would say he is a loose cannon, but all he really is a cold, emotionless machine inside.

    Techniques:

    Spell: Dark Vortex- After saying the words (revealed later), Apocalypse glows black, and launches a beam of dark black energy towards the opponent. It is unavoidable, but not that powerful. It is often used to weaken opponents before Brad brings out the big guns.

    Judgement- Apocalypse glows white, and Brad charges at his opponent, leaps, and falls on them with the sword. Afterwards, he continues to hack and slash furiously. This technique is his most often used sword technique. However, it can be dodged.

    Doom- This time, Apocalypse glows black, and the gold in it glows white. Then, Brad lunges at his opponent, and stabs it into them. Slowly, the magic damages them. It is almost unavoidable, as Brad is incredibly fast, but takes a lot of energy, as much as the attack below.

    Spell: Unholy Wrath- A huge ball of dark energy is formed, and engulfs the arena. It is highly destructive, and unavoidable, but takes up almost all of Brad's energy.

    Additional Information: Brad comes from a long line of various battlers at Lancaster. Brad, wanting to be unique, became a Paladin. His mother was a wizard who mastered Fire and Lightning, while his father was a Sniper who used the Ice element. He is the first to use the long-guarded heirlooms, and it is said that the first of his family was the original owner.

    Brad, your application definitely has its ups and downs. the first major problem i saw is your char's height compared to age. 6'5 is really tall for a 14 year old. Also, heavy armor usually would amount to a slow fighter to me. I like the idea of Paladin. But i would still like a long spell chant for his skills, considering they are Dark Magic and Dark Magic is considered the most powerful of spell types. and for the same reason, you may want to substantially decrease the amount of attacks you have and leave some to learn during the course of the RP, due to their strength.

    Because of those reasons, Brad, i'll say your application is Pending to balance your char a bit.

    I'm opening up an OOC thread for this RP right now in the lounge for discussion about classes and such.

  • Name: Takashi Hikaru

    Gender: Female

    Age: 16

    Class: Sniper – Crossbow

    Primary Weapon: A thick but medium sized bow that is a shade of light brown, uses very sharp arrows made from sharp wire material. Most arrows she owns explode on contact.

    Elemental Affinity: Ice

    Description: Hikaru stands at 5'7, having a somewhat thin body from training herself daily. Has visible muscles around her abdomen and arms. Wears black fingerless gloves with steel plates on each hand for handling her bow. Hikaru has shoulder length golden brown hair that is sometimes put into a pony tail and her bangs are brushed off to the side of her face. Has small gold hoop earrings on each side of her ears. Hikaru wears a black choker with a small red Her eyes are dark green and she has thin, pink lips. She wears a black hoodie with 10 different pockets hidden on the inside and out and its 2 sized too big loosely hang off her arms and normally open or halfway zipped up. The sleeves go up o her wrists. Under her jacket is a red spaghetti strap shirt that goes right above her belly button. Hikaru also has on dark green capris with two black belts that have silver buckles on them. She also has on black and white tennis shoes that zip up instead of having shoe laces. They take too much time to tie is her excuse.

    Personality: Hikaru is one of the most distant people out there. Normally day dreaming, listening to her iPod or sleeping she can be described as a really lazy person. She's always thinking of things she can't have and powers she wishes she could use. However in battle she is completely different. She's ruthless and fast with her attacks making sure she gets things over with as soon as possible. Hikaru is actually very smart when it comes to academics though she certainly doesn't look the part or have the attitude for it. She's normally quiet in class and acts shy around other people that she doesn't know. Though she is known to say sarcastic comments under her breath from time to time.Hikaru is very irritated by the heat and on sunny days making her have to put her hoodie on to protect herself from the shade. Her hoodie covers a lot of her face making her look like a shady character and her personality adds to it. She's not very known around her hometown or anywhere else she is seen so she could easily be a stealthy person for combat.

    Hikaru is normally alone because she finds herself to be too lazy to go out and talk with other people and gets shy around them. Walking around a park or a beach is the closest she would get to going outside. She dislikes loud people,things, and recently loud attacks that she hears. It's way too much of a bother for her to have to hear that and try to stay relaxed. She is normally the person who would think things through and make sure plans work bu has no intention of letting others know of this ability. They would give her more work after all. Hikaru also has a big fear of lightning and lightning storms.

    Techniques:
    Ice Storm: Hikaru unleashes a fury of frozen arrows towards the enemy leaving zero chance of an escape though she may injure herself if not focusing properly.

    Exploding Crystal: Hikaru will release 2 to 3 arrows at a time near but not hitting the enemy to lure them into a false sense of security. There will be bombs attached to the frozen arrows and they will explode within 5 seconds of hitting a solid object. After the first arrows have exploded Hikaru will send a last arrow to penetrate the enemy's body.

    Additional Information: Hikaru is from a carefree town off of the beach where most people don't have a care in the world. This is where she got her lazy attitude from. Her older brother and her mother decided to end her lazy streak when they found out she could use her freezing powers and handle her bow that she had received from her father very well. Her father is a weapons maker who is indifferent of the decision to send her to Lancaster but gives in when he is cornered.

    I know I'm going to add more but this is what I have for now.

    Class: Paladin- (Dark Paladin)
    - Basically, a knight who can use magic. Uses one sword/lance etc. This weapon is branded with magic, but also amplifies the user's magic attacks, usually of the same type. If they use dark magic, they do not have an elemental affinity. In battle, they wear heavy armor- usually enchanted to be lightweight to the user, depending on who crafted it, what metal was used, and how it was enchanted. To be a Paladin, you must be strong, in mind and body. It is rigorous, especially if you follow the path of dark magic. In addition, you're true class depends on what affinity you have- your element, or in rare cases, Dark Magic.

    Judgement- Apocalypse glows white, and Brad charges at his opponent, leaps, and falls on them with the sword. Afterwards, he continues to hack and slash furiously. This technique is his most often used sword technique. However, it can be dodged.

    Additional Information: Brad comes from a long line of various battlers at Lancaster. Brad, wanting to be unique, became a Paladin. His mother was a wizard who mastered Fire and Lightning, while his father was a Sniper who used the Ice element. He is the first to use the long-guarded heirlooms, and it is said that the first of his family was the original owner. He lives in Hawaii, on the island of Maui, and enjoys aquatic sports. His family has lived on Maui for four generations, coming from California. they went to CA from New York about 2 generations before, and moved to NY from England as atheists 10 generations before that. The clan originated with Saturnus Mattesicum, a prestigious soldier for the Roman Empire who settled in the territory now known as Britain. His family lived there for centuries, moved to America, and eventually moved to Maui.

    Got rid of the short chant, two attacks(the powerful ones), and I made him 16.

    Drazen, your application still leaves a lot to be desired. You need a considerable amount more on your Description and a bit more on personality, try to stray away from generic character structure. with those touched up, i think it will be a fine character. so until those changes are made. DrazenHayato is Pending

    just one word of advice. Watch yourself while your typing or don't forget to proof read, i see lots of spelling/grammatical errors in your application. Take any further discussion to the OOC thread :) a few more and we can begin the RP

  • Name: Alarune Wren Sephalis

    Gender: Female

    Age: 14

    Class: Witch (she prefers being referred to as a 'mage', however.)

    Primary Weapon: Rune carries a large scythe, with a black handle and blade rimmed with a pink metal. On the inner part of the blade, there's a small golden triangle, along with a golden thorned vine pattern around the handle.

    Elemental Affinity: Earth and Fire

    Description: Rune is about 5', rather thin, and very fair skinned. Her face is small and round, and her hair is long, straight, and is dyed a bright pink hue. Rune has also dyed silver streaks into her hair, and she usually wears it in two long pigtails. Her bangs nearly cover both ears and all of her forehead, nearly covering her eyes, and she wears two gold-colored clips on each side of her head, right above her ears. She has large, rounded eyes with light red irises. Despite her delicate and frail appearance, she is rather strong for her size, able to lift her scythe and swing it with ease. Her strength is nothing compared to those of the melee classes, however.

    Rune wears a black silk choker necklace with a small, metal, double-headed battle axe attached to it. On her torso, she wears a black, wool vest, that has a V-shaped cut that starts at the middle of her shoulders and goes down to her waist. Underneath the vest, she wears a dark grey cotton t-shirt with flared sleeves that go to her elbows, and a further layer layer down, she wears a turtleneck shirt of a lighter grey with long, flared sleeves that cover her hands when they're at her side. On her lower body, she wears a skirt made of expensive black silk, and over it, attached to a black leather belt with a small silver buckle, is another skirt, but this one is dark grey and goes from the outer sides of her legs back around to the other. Below the belt that keeps the half-skirt up are two other black belts crossed like an 'X' that serve no other reason than to be 'fashionable.' On her feet, she wears long black socks and black dress shoes that have a buckle on top. Clipped to her belt is an iPod, full of all kinds of orchestral videogame music, courtesy of one of her (Aura's, really) 'nerdy' friends. The headphones are the larger type (the headband/earmuff type, not the earbuds) and have a black 'chibi' style wing on each of the speakers.

    Personality: Alarune is very competitive and absolutely hates to lose, but she'll never show it, and will congradulate her opponent on a win. However, she's vengeful, so if someone bests her, they should expect to be attacked by tiny, evil plant monsters. When she wins, she'll boast about it, giving her the 'sore winner' impression. Growing up in luxury, she expects people to do what she asks of them, and becomes angry at those who refuse to do as she says. She doesn't, however, believe that money is power, and when someone calls her 'spoiled,' it's yet another thing that sets off her temper. Rune's battle style is influenced by her personallity, as she summons forth creatures to do her bidding instead of directly getting involved.

    Rune also has a split personallity (cliche'd, but it's so cliche, no one ever has a split personallity. Oh, sure, it's not likely you'll ever meet a short albino with a split personallity, but hey. It's posssible) which is almost Rune's opposite. While she doesn't look or sound different from Rune, Aura's personallity is much different. She doesn't mind losing at things, and will honestly congradulate opponents. She speaks softer and has a more gentle, kind radiance than Rune. Aura also doesn't mind doing things herself, which is reflected in her battle style. Her attacks are more straight-forward, but she abhors hurting opponents, and instead tries to make them give up.

    A trait that both share is the love of nature and music, especially orchestral. Rune tends to play flute, while Aura takes to the acoustic guitar.

    Techniques: Rune:
    Earth Spirit- Summons either a stone pangolin or a dryad.
    Pangolin~very sturdy and durable, but slow. Its scales are hard and have sharp edges, making them a lethal projectile.
    Dryad~very fast and strong, but falls apart when it takes the slightest damage, not to mention flames. It is created from surrounding flora, so its appearance changes depending on location, but its general form is that of an elegant, beautiful woman. Possesing human form, it takes Rune's scythe to fight.

    Flame Spirit- Summons a living flame, capable of taking many forms, Rune's favorites being a fox, winged serpent, or weasel. Along with the summon, she can use bits of the flame to use as a projectile or vortex.

    The downside to these summons (especially Dryad) is that they leave Rune open for attack.

    Aura:
    Nature's Vigor- Calls vines, roots, and mud to immobilize opponents, while she calls leaves to cut them. Hating violence, though, she refrains from using the move's second part. Mostly, anyways. Aura can also use this to revive and grow plants.

    Nature's Link- Can commune with nature, and calm any natural creature, or can invoke fury within a beast. Aura used this ability to tame Luna and Sol. This ability only gives higher intellect to those creatures who Aura has been with for a long time, as well as increasing their longevity.

    Additional Information--

    Origin: Coming Soon! Ish!

    Background: "

    Reason for being at Lancaster: "

    Other: Alarune (mostly Aura) have two pet ferrets, who have, thanks to Aura, been given increased longevity, and higher intelligence, which allows them to use logic and reasoning, but they still maintain many of their feral instincts. Their names are Luna and Sol, respectively. (Meaning the white one is Luna, and the other is Sol.) They often ride on Aura's shoulders, with one on each. They don't like Rune as much, as they con't communicate with her, so they stay in Rune's room when she's the one in charge.

    Name: Ruroen J. Perrin
    Gender: Male
    Age: 16
    Class: Rune Knight
    Weapon:

    -Sword of Yurega: A long sword with a slightly-below-average width blade. Ruroen has been using this since he started training at age eight, and his technique is near perfect. The blade is yellow, and there is also a yellow gem in the pommel. It is engraved with several runes.

    Elemental Affinity: Lightning

    Description: Ruroen is a lightly built, hazel eyed young man with light brown hair. His facial features are soft, making him look slightly childish, despite his age and height, which is around 5' 11". His hair covers the tips of his ears and is slightly messy, despite his efforts to keep it nice and tidy. His eyes are slightly almond shaped. He has slight acne problems from time to time.

    Ruroen wears a bronze colored, short sleeved polo, and a pair of black pants. Over his tunic he has a black jacket, which is also short sleeved. His lower arms are covered by black gloves, tightened to his arms by leather straps. He has numerous black belts with bronze buckles on his waist. He also wears a pair of brown boots that go up to his knees. His long sword is constantly stapped to his back, and he keeps a black iPod Classic in his jacket pocket, in addition to his cell phone.

    Personality: Ruroen is very multi-sided when it comes to his personality. He is easily angered, despite the fact that he generally has a cheerful demeanor. He also talks a lot, and doesn't like it when people make fun of how childish he looks, or about his acne breakouts. He gets very enthusiatic when he's battling, or doing anything else, for that matter. Occasionally, his normal mood change to anger ends up being to depression, but that's not very often.

    Techniques:

    Multiple Strike Barrage: Ruroen charges up to his enemy, bombarding him or her with a series of punches, kicks, and sword slashes to the torso.

    Thor's Hammer: A ring of lightning appears around Ruroen's opponent, with a giant hammer appearing overhead. The lightning then branches off and shoots towards the hammer, which absorbs the electricity and shoots it at the opponent.

    Thor's Tiger: A summoning ring appears around Ruroen, and after fully preparing the technique, an enormous tiger composed of lightning shoots out from Ruroen's chest. This tiger has Ruroen's concious, and is completely controlled by him. This technique is not yet fully developed, and the major downfall of it is the fact that Ruroen's body is left slumped over, with zero protection -- it is therefore possible for an opponent to attack him while vulnerable.

    Additional Information: Ruroen grew up in Edinburgh, Scotland, with normal parents -- although admittedly, they were kind of... obsessed with animals of various sorts. His friends, however, as well as their parents, knew about Lancaster and were training to get into it. Ruroen isntantly took up training with a long sword, as well as Lightning magic.

    Ruroen also has a crazy large addiction to Pizza Rolls and Chocolate, and while at home, constantly ate enormous portions of the aforementioned foods. He also has a liking of penguins, and has several of them at his house as pets.

    ---

    Done. :]

    ThatInsaneKid - I loves it! a Knight AND and Lightning user. This cast is getting quite interesting indeed. One thing... does your character have a last name if so tell it to me in the OOC thread or PM? That aside... you are Accepted

    I know of one more person wanting to sign up. As soon as that application is in, unless there are any objections, we can start the RP. Hopefully that will be around tomorrow. :D

  • "How many times do I have to explain this to you people? When you're fighting a monster, there are only two steps. Step one: Take out one of my weapons. Step two: Blast the thing to Kingdom Come!"

    -Edgar


    Name: Edgar Hoffenscheister ("The Mechanic/Ed")

    Gender: It is the one that is not female.

    Class: Ninja/Engineer

    Age: 16

    Weapon: Edgar doesn't specialize in just one weapon. He is a ninja, after all. Among his various weapons are the following:

    -Low Grade Exploding Tags
    -Poisoned Shuriken
    -Plain ol' shuriken
    -Poison
    -Poisoned Katana
    -Firepower (BANG! BANG!)
    -Smoke Bombs
    -Pretty much anything he can poison

    Edgar tends to mix and match what weapons he brings with him on a given mission to fit the situation. His pet weapon, however, is a curving golden claw that is strapped to his left arm. Said claw is usually poisoned or otherwise nastily booby-trapped in order to make up for Edgar's lack of pure brawn.

    Elemental Affinity: Ice/Wind

    Description: Edgar's face is often obscured to the public from the nose down (honestly, he's a ninja, what did you expect?) by a half-face mask which he only drops in order to exhale a breath-type attack at the enemy Otherwise his mask will remain up, allowing only his pale blue eyes and blonde hair to be seen by anyone else. His hair is fairly long, extending to his shoulderblades and only tapering off in terms of length around his bangs. For a ninja, Edgar's clothing is fairly apropos: black skintight cloth that covers his entire body with the exception of his hair and the upper half of his face. Along the back of Edgar's suit is a design he stitched in himself: two wrenches lay criss-crossed in skull-and-crossbones fashion atop a picture of Ed's own face, a method of advertisement for his "weapons shop". His hands are left free of any fabric in order to maximise his throwing accuracy, often a crucial skill. Ed also wears his personal favorite choice in weaponry, a large "claw" along his left arm. The claw consists of three large, golden spikes that resemble elongated cat claws fastened to the top of a metal arm-bracer. Along Edgar's waist his sword-belt is held, complete with a pouch for shuriken, poison, and other tools of the trade as well as any weapons of his own creation that he needs to bring along. His katana, complete with a black lacquered sheath and gold filigree handle, also rests by his side on this same belt. This katana holds two deadly secrets: The handle is hollow and contains a tube filled with poisonous liquid, and also conceals two small throwing knives. Neither knife is large enough to ensure a kill if used on their own, but when coated in poison they become incredibly deadly indeed.

    Personality: Edgar is conniving, deceitful, and completely selfish. Everything he does is for personal gain, from attending Lancaster to running the illicit heavy-weapons armory behind the school in his capacity as engineer. He tends to follow the rules only when it suits him to do so, and isn't above sassing the authorities or taunting classmates. In short, he's a total jerk. Of course, those who say this about him probably don't spend a lot of time getting acquainted with the man behind the face-mask. True, Edgar does tend to think of himself before others, but he does have an inkling of selflessness. He won't extend kindness to someone he doesn't know on a personal level, but when someone he knows and cares about deeply is on the line, he will offer help. In addition, he's fairly well-versed in the art of humility, so while he does thumb his nose at the school officials on occasion he makes sure to do so only when they aren't around to see it. What most people interpret as Edgar (Ed to those who know him's) deceitfulness is often an effort on his part to make sure that noboby catches on to the fact that he isn't as physically powerful as most others in the school. Ed has actually developed a bit of an inferiority complex in regards to other students, in fact, but instead of giving vent to it he- in true ninja fashion- conceals it and attempts to make a show of force by acting ten times more confrontational than he would on a normal basis. That isn't to say that Ed is completely unmotivated by a desire for personal gain, rather, he is motivated still more by a desire to appear strong. In Ed's mind, strength is equivalent with one's ability to be self-sufficient, whether in combat or in life. Unsurprisingly, this has led to the development of a "Look out for number one" philosophy.

    When asked about Ed's intelligence, most simply shake their heads and look out the window in an attempt to change the subject or simply glare at the questioner until they realises their error and shut up. Any inquiry on this subject when posed to Ed himself will usually result in his referring you to the infirmary to see if you have brain damage. Ed is, by far and away, extremely bright in terms of academic knowledge and mechanical intuition. A true prodigy in the nearly-lost art of alchemic engineering, he is able to craft weapons that mimic modern firearms in terms of destructive power, and even create artificial creatures with their own unique abilities. These automatons usually tend to be more decorative than useful, but Ed does specialize in one breed with a combat-based purpose: tiny, robotic spider containing miniscule explosive charges. When launched, said spiders will swarm an enemy and explode on contact, effectively making them a valuable part of any ninja's arsenal. In order to further his interests of gaining self-sufficiency, Ed has used his talents to set up an illicit weapons shop carrying these and any other weapons he manages to create. This is technically prohibited, as according to school rules students cannot hold part-time jobs, but Ed intentionally broke this code in order to prove to what he perceives as a hostile public that he isn't above breaking the rules to get things done. This has served to alienate a good portion of the student body from him, though his weapons shop does pretty good business, especially with his fellow ninjas.

    Ed is often surprised beyond reason when he finds himself caring about another person, and his sense of self-preservation often tells him to snuff such cares out. However, once Ed has established a friendship and has conceded that there is no way to break the ties that now bind him with his friend, he becomes a very nice person to have at your back. As much an analyst as he is an engineer, Ed is extremely calculating in battle, relying on his wits and underhanded tactics to give him an edge against opponents. He prides himself in never making a move that he hasn't reviewed at least three times already, and considers himself an expert in deciphering the weakness of his foes. When Ed discovers a flaw in an enemy's attack pattern or a weakness in their armor, he won't hesitate to exploit it. When Ed's stealth and poison fail to bring an opponent to the ground, however, he is forced to either comission for heavy firepower or rely on the abilities of a classmate to finish the foe off. Of course, he would never admit to needing others to help him- he can't accept any weakness in himself, after all. Unless the situation requires it of him, he won't ask for assitance. As far as assisting another goes, Ed is much more lenient, often switching opponents temporarily in team battles in order to analyze the type of foe his partner is up against before switching back and providing them with a better strategy then the one they were previously implementing.

    In addition to the aforementioned traits, Ed is a tad eccentric. He tends to disguise himself regularly, even around those he knows, and when he feels relaxed he tends to come out of his shell, so to speak, and reveals a more comical and fun-loving side that he would never show to anyone he wouldn't trust with his life.

    Skills/Techniques:

    North Wind Blast: Ed inhales and releases a breath of air from his mouth powerful enough to unbalance a foe. Against extremely heavy opponents, this attack tends to do absolutely nothing. This attack can also be implemented in a much deadlier fashion if Ed utilizes a poisonous powder concealed in the form of small tablets tucked into his weapons pouch. By crushing a tablet and exhaling, Ed can fill the air with poisonous dust which, when inhaled, will slowly begin to dull the motor skills and reflexes of his opponent, rendering them immobile or sluggish in their responses. In an enclosed area, inhaling enough of the poison could cause death. Outside, however, this attack loses much of its effectiveness since the powder is likely to be carried away by a breeze. Ed himself is immune to the poison's effects due to a filter in his face mask which prevents him from breathing the attack in himself. Without the mask, this move becomes a two-edged sword. Ed can also utilize a liquid form of the poison and coat his weapons with it, which are then used to cut the opponent. This rarely results in death, but even a small cut can interfere with the ability to properly control Life Energy if left untreated long enough.

    Invisible Wall: Ed freezes water vapor in the air to create a wall of ice. While not particularly strong, the wall is completely invisible to the naked eye and adds a new dimension to the terrain that only Ed can take full advantage of.

    Ninja Art of Disguise: Ed uses his life energy to change the way that the air around his body reflects light energy, effectively creating an illusion that serves as a disguise. By using this technique, he can look like somebody completely different (though he has not physically changed). He can also change the way that air is forced through his vocal cords to alter his voice.

    No Mercy: Ed's only finishing move. He traps the target somehow and weakens them with poison before delivering a lightning-fast blow with either his katana or his claws, effectively rendering the target deceased. Against bulkier monsters or human opponents with thick armor this tactic is usually useless, but the entrapment is usually enough to ensure their death: all Ed has to do is whistle for a temporary ally- that is, if he can let go of his pride and fear of others long enough to do so...

    On Ed's Machines: Ed's engineering skills stem from his great-grandfather, one of the few who still used their life energy in a form known as Alchemy, which relied on creating machines and weapons from ore in order to protect themselves. His teachings were passed on to Ed in the form of a diary containing schematics for the production of said weapons, which Ed found in his attic inside his parents's cozy little Irish cottage. Ed immediately took interest in the book, finding its promises for the potential uses of his life energy, which he had only recently discovered, far more interesting than those of his parents (a pair of snipers). When enrolling at Lancaster, Ed discovered that he would be unable to use his powers effectively at the time due to a shortage of the proper materials needed to alchemically synthesize and construct a proper weapon. In order to fill in the gap, he instead enrolled as a ninja, learning the basics from an uncle and studying martial arts in order to increase his ability to fight. It was only after he entered Lancaster that he learned how powerful the other classes were in comparison to that of the ninja, and felt threatened. Staying true to the teachings of his mentor, he hid his feelings behind a mask of indifference and proceeded to set up his weapons shop in hopes that he would earn enough money from it to build his first heavy-firepower weapon and become a full-fledged engineer. As of right now, he is restricted to mostly rudimentary explosives and automatons. As Ed gains access to better materials, he will presumably be able to construct more powerful (and longer-lasting) weapons.

    There, that good? *smirketh*

    ACC-M = The definition of an amazing sign up as expected haha. loved everything about it, definitely Accepted

    Unless anyone has any objections, i'm going to be starting the RP

    OOC: The school year will begin with all of the students gathering in the Battle Colosseum in the middle of campus. Please have your character pick up their course schedules outside the Colosseum before entering.

    IC

    The air was brisk. The sunlight bathed the landscape in a beautiful warming glow while the wind blew gently across the hilly terrain. The Lancaster School of Battle stands alone among the rolling green hills of England. The Campus itself is surrounded entirely by large fields of open grass which are further enclosed by a lush, thick green forest to ensure the school's seclusion. Lancaster's many older large brick buildings seemed especially awe inspiring as they stood brilliantly in the sunlight. Sidewalks run intertwined through the middle of the buildings, trimmed with the occasional park bench for resting and socializing. The dormitories lay on the far sides of the campus. The girls being on the East side of campus and the boys on the West. All of the buildings and sidewalks point inward towards the center of campus where the center of attention is located. The Grand Colosseum. A large roman style Colosseum with seating reaching high to the Colosseum's edges. The large arena in the center is lowered below ground level, enabling onlookers to look down at exciting battles with no fear of collateral damage. As a test of endurance and strength, the students must brave the perils of the 3 day journey through Lancaster Forest. And Thus the story begins...

    The sun peeked dimly through the trees, the few rays of sunlight that pierced the forest canopy beamed straight to the forest floor. Fen lay asleep against a tree, holding his massive bow across his chest. The sunlight shined obnoxiously into his face. He groaned and squinted into the canopy, aggravated at being woken up. It was the 3rd day of his journey... he would be at Lancaster very soon.

    "Looks like its almost afternoon... i over slept." Fen said out loud to himself as he stood up, brushing off his clothes. He strapped his massive bow, Angel's Song, onto his back and secured his arrow quiver. He looked into the canopy again and using his great agility, leaped high into the tree branches, then immediately began leaping fast through the trees towards his destination, the Lancaster campus.

    Hours passed of moving through the trees and he finally broke free of the forest's stuffy grip it seemed to have on him. Fen hated trees... and being surrounded by them. There was no clear shot to be had with so many trees blocking the path.

    Having left the trees, Fen was sprinting full speed now. All that stood between him and campus was the large field that marked the line between the forest and the campus. At last, he had arrived... Lancaster. Fen looked over the beautiful campus with hope in his eyes. He looked around as he sprinted, other fighters were emerging from the forest in every direction, all having made their journey through Lancaster Forest. Fen's gaze returned forward, he was finally near campus. He slowed down as he approach and took a slow walking step onto the pavement. Fen inhaled deeply, he was finally here.

    Fen walked around the campus, exploring and seeing what he could. He observed the students that walked around him. He seemed to be getting many stares and giggles in particular. Some students walked by pointing and whispering excitedly then he finally heard it.

    "Wow... look at the size of that bow... its so big! taller than he is!" A girl exclaimed to her friend.

    "Ya! and the shape! its like a pair of wings!" her friend replied.

    So that was it... they weren't interested in him... it was the bow.

    "Psh...think they'd never seen a Sniper before..." Fen scoffed under his breath... quite disappointed the girls weren't giddy over his looks. He almost wished he could hide the bow under his shirt... but that was quite impossible in every single way.

    Fen finally arrived at the gates of the Grand Colosseum. The building towered over everything and had many small kiosks around the outside. Fen approached one of the Kiosks and looked into it. A red beam of light instantly shined out of it and ran across his face and retreated. Fen's face appeared on the screen along with his name and various stats about his fighting style. The machine then spoke to him in a mechanical female voice.

    "Fenra Kurai. Age 17. Long Range Sniper. First Year Student."

    "What the..." Fen said to himself but was cut off by the sound of printing paper. He reached down and tore it from the machine. "Hm... this must be my schedule" Fen said as he read slowing.

    Advanced Marksmanship 121
    Elemental Control 101
    Basic Close Combat 95


    Fen read down the list and sighed having expected to be in "Basic Close Combat". He absolutely despised being close to his enemies. But the schedule over all looked how he expected it to.

    "Bleh... Beginner's Close Combat... this is gonna suck... but i guess I needed to learn to fight hand to hand soon anyway... I just kind of swing the blade on my bow around when something gets too close..." Fen said low to himself.

    He sighed again audibly and looked back up at the huge Grand Colosseum. He shrugged and adjusted his bow on his back, then walked inside to grab his seat.

    ((Went ahead and edited Ruroen's last name into the profile. And sorry about that -- I pretty much stole his profile from another RP I used him in, and last name's were pretty much moot there. :\))

    Ruroen leapt into the air excitedly, having finally been out of the forest. Mind you, this wasn't his first time -- he had already completed his freshman year. But the forest gave him the creeps, so he was happy to get out. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out his iPod, shoved the earbuds into his ears, and turned it on, singing along with the song that was currently playing.

    "No one's gonna take me alive... Time has come to make things right," the young man sung quietly as he walked to the gates of the Grand Colosseum. "You and I will fight for our right... You and I will fight to survive..."

    "Ruroen J. Perrin. Rune Knight. Second Year Student."

    Ruroen momentarily stopped his air guitar-ing to the guitar solo going on within his ears and picked up his schedule. Shrugging, he folded it up and stuffed it into his pocket, and headed inside the Grand Colosseum, resuming his air-guitaring.

    Let's see... I had Advanced Close Combat 130... That'll be good. Lightning Control 170. That should be good, too. And then... Basic Defense 101? Dangit. That's going to suck majorly. I HATE defense.

    Ruroen sat down, frowning slightly. The whole "Basic Defense" thing kind of put a damper on his day. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his iPod, thinking of a song that would get him pumped up and excited again.

    "Through the Fire and Flames"... I approve. Dragonforce for the win.

    The young man switched the song and started air-guitaring again, although with an added headbang this time.

  • It was the third day of Brad's journey. He walked at a fast pace, earphones in his ears, Apocalypse in his hand, as he trekked through the forest. The tall tress and verdant leaves blocked much sunlight, but Brad still saw through the trees.
    "Hmm… this three day trex isn't all bad. The animals have left me alone, and I must have taken a trodden path- there are no thorns or anything of the like." Brad though to himself. In his head, he heard "Stayin Alive" by the Bee Gees. An old classic, but still appealing to Brad. The air was brisk and blowing in Brad's "neck" of the woods- he enjoyed it, as he liked cold temperatures. The forest started to thin- the vegetation grew sparser, and the sun started to shine brightly. Brad then saw the magnificent campus- the brick buildings, the students strolling along, the gigantic Colosseum.
    "Looks nice. Well, this should be fun…" Brad again thought. He had reached the Colosseum, and he meandered to the kiosk. A machine flashed a red light over him, and it showed an image of him, and his fighting style. Then, a mechanical female voice announced in monotone:
    "Brad Matthews, Paladin, First Year Student."

    A paper printed from the odd machine- It was his course schedule.


    Advanced Paladin Arts 222- Like Swordmanship, but more specific and advanced.
    Advanced Dark Magic 666 ( OOC:Its in a special room, not by college system, just for the whole "number of beast" reference)
    Advanced Tactics 000 (same with this room...)

    (OOC: If the special rooms are ad, I'll change them.)

    "Hmm… 000? Strange. And 666 is a specail room, as I heard from Dad. Guess they picked it for the whole "number of the beast" reference. Good thing I'm in advanced classes…" Brad said to himself quietly. Seeing as nothing would be going on for a while, he walked around campus, taking in the sights and sounds of the school. As he walked, other passers-by commented upon his appearance.
    "Whoa… that is a nice sword…" said one girl in awe.
    "He ain't too bad looking himself," her companion giggled.
    "Ah… I have admirers. Oh well. I really don't care that much. I have no interest in love." Brad thought quickly.
    The buildings, in a Victorian fashion, looked regal and grand. Large, brick buildings, with marble colmuns. They were tall, majestic, and seemed to emanate an aura of respect to Brad. He decided to go back to the Colosseum. He walked in to the stadium. It was Roman style- a lot of rows, going up to the top edge, and separated from the fight so no one could be caught in the crossfire. He found his seat in the 1st year section, and he sat. dwon. The stadium was near empty- he was one of the frist out. A few seats over on the first row he saw someone with a huge bow- it looked like angelic wings.
    "A sniper…" Brad thought. He sat down, and turned on his dormant iPhone. He turned on, and listened to "The Sound of Silence". It would be a while before anything important happened…

  • Thud. Thud. Thud.

    Several students looked towards the forest, where the noise was coming from, and getting slowly louder.

    Thud Thud THUD

    Now almost shaking the ground, as well as speeding up, the source of the sound came bursting through the trees. Atop a giant stone beast was Alarune W. Sephalis, shouting various cries of victory against the forest. She jumped off the pangolin's neck, and dismissed it, having it meld into the ground.

    Rune looked around, and saw many people staring right at her. "Hey!" she shouted. "Mind your own buisness!" Looking out from Rune's provision bag, Sol and Luna simply sighed. (Well, as much as ferrets can sigh, anyways.)

    Continuing along, her pigtails catching the breeze, Rune saw other students walking away from a stand carrying papers. She walked over there, and heard a metallic voice say,

    "Alarune W. Sephalis, Witch. 1st Year student."

    She grabbed her schedule, silently seething over the fact that the computer didn't have enough respect to call her 'Mage.'

    Advanced Elemental Control... That suits me just fine! She continued down the list, seeing Basic Defense and Basic Close Combat. Basic? Basic!? Rune, furious, turned around and took out her anger on the first person she saw by levitating a small stone forcefully into the back of their head. They didn't seem to notice too much, as they were caught up with their headbanging.

    Suddenly, the rage from Rune's face disappeared and was replaced with worry, and at the same time, Sol and Luna climbed out of the backpack and onto Alarune's shoulders. "I'm so sorry..." she said very quietly.
