[Other FULL] Vale Institute of Magic (M) (OOC/SU)

[«Chuckles»]

Thankyou. So where abouts is everyone and with my examination do I just pretend to be some sort of illegal immigrant?

 

[Colony]

@Chuckles: For those who either haven't done their evaluations or are unable to, there will be an event later on to fulfill that. For now, it's pretty much like Demonic said. I want to make sure everyone is ready for the announcement, and after tomorrow I'll finish up the segment. After the IC announcement there will be a somewhat brief interaction period followed by the end of the IC day. On the second IC day classes will start.

 

[siiadams]

Just letting you know, JNathan and I are working on a JP, which is why I've been pretty much silent this whole time. Sorry about that. Will be more active afterwards.

 

[Satan.EXE]

Meanwhile, Michael and Scarlett are going off the record and interacting like true 'rebels'.

 

[Colony]

Just to clarify what I said last night/this morning, I plan on rolling out the new announcement either on Friday or Saturday. I suggest that any and all RPers who are in the middle of interactions to be prepared, and for those who have yet to make their initial post perhaps you can go ahead and plan for the event. The event itself will have the students summoned to the classrooms on the second floor of the main building.

Unfortunately, GoldenRayquaza has been removed for inactivity. He hasn't posted in over two weeks and has shown no sign that he was going to post anytime soon.

 

[Songbird]

First day and Shion's already got a stalker and a love triangle.

 

[RecursiveAcronym]

The life of an Igna is hard. A boy either wants to date you or beat you up.

 

[Dualik]

Well it actually happened, Zane pissed Indigo off for what is most likely a reason the Blonde Luxomancer could never have anticipated. XD

So Indigo will be exploring the school and looking for his dorm next post since he's actually been annoyed enough to leave the infirmary altogether, crutches and all. Meaning that also in his next post Indigo could run into someone else while looking.

Should anyone wish to have some character interaction between Indigo and whomever your character may be then feel free to let me know

 

[Colony]

*Puts on mirrored Aviators.* Mission accomplished. Rivalry established. Let the games begin.

 

[RecursiveAcronym]

Oooh stuff's going to go down. Aris has woken up at the start of a war, apparently.

 

[Nate]

Let the games begin.

And may the odds be ever in your favor!

 

[Satan.EXE]

Have to say, Songbird, that's easily the most "d'awwww"-inducing signature I've ever seen. EVER. Never change it.



So, what's going to happen exactly? We've gotta cut our IC interactions short, and then...?

 

[Songbird]

You don't have to cut them short. Just get ready to wrap up.

 

[Dualik]

In the case of wrapping IC reactions up... then perhaps I shall wait before posting as Indigo again.

As starting another character interaction between him and someone else seems pointless for now and other than posting to have him explore the school I have nothing much else to go on.

So I shall instead opt to wait patiently.

 

[disciplish]

Prepare... for the ultimate less than major character 2x SU combo.

First: teh bookie

Spoiler:

Name: [Doctor] Oscar DeMuere

Nickname: Doc- used by some of the less formal students

Age: 29

Gender: Male

Elements: [UNAVAILABLE]

Spells: [UNAVAILABLE]

Appearance: Oscar is a man with flowing black hair, piercing blue eyes, and rectangular, thin glasses. He looks like he's still twenty-one, and has a doctorate in psychology. He stands at about 6'5", and is notable for his seemingly thin exterior, but actually being strong behind it. He, almost as a rule, is mostly seen eating potato chips, and usually has a facial expression that ranges to a bit serious to a light smile. His usual attire is a buttoned white shirt, a black tie, and long, black pants. He has long, gangly arms, and a relatively upright posture. He has thin lips and a small nose, and his hair is tousled on his head, even with it's natural "flow," as he calls it. His teeth are straight and a bright white, and his eyes are always wide open. His skin is pale and relatively untouched. There are slight dark spots under his eyes.


Personality: Cool and composed, Oscar is one to silently ponder the meaning of life while eating potato chips and making his class do work. He has a silent and unproclaimed love for potato chips, and likes anything... "chip-y" in general. He's professional but sometimes slacks off, and is known for being a gambler, sometimes even betting on the students himself. In regards to anything else though, DeMuere is quite adept at keeping calm and not really fretting about much of anything; even if he truly is worried, his voice is calm and smooth nevertheless. Sometimes, of course, you'll hear a pang of guilt or the softness of sadness; but besides that Oscar will not let his emotions speak through his speech.

When time comes for action, DeMuere reacts; he quickly gets in motion and prepares for things to get done; however, if there's nothing serious [in his eyes] he will simply lay back and chill. He tends to gamble on the choice he feels is best, and when making decisions is hardly influenced by those around him unless he deems them of importance. He is known to bond the most with the students as being the "bookie," taking down and recording their bets and handing out the money afterwards; however, on larger bets he requests a "book fee" of an arbitrary amount of money. Usually, this is paid by the losing party of the bet. He's quite smart, due to the amount of time he dedicated to studying when he was younger.

He doesn't like the more uptight teachers in the building, and is a good friend of Allen Hawke.

History: Oscar DeMuere was born to a wealthy set of Italian mobsters. No, I'm not kidding; he grew up side by side to the Godfather and his wife, and whether you're going to believe it or not, he did. However, from a young age Oscar decided he would refuse to be like his parents, and studied hard to get away from the mob. This took him far; there were only a few grades that were mildly disappointing, if any. Disappointing, of course, was subjective, but that is unimportant to him and he continues to live anyhow. [further information currently UNAVAILABLE]

Eventually, he received a letter from Vale at twenty-one. Uniquely, this letter did not ask him to become a student; he was much too old- rather, he was asked to teach. At this age, he was studying, and declined in a heartbeat. Things would soon change, however, when he exited his graduate studies; he received this letter again. He opened it up, and this time he was confident. No longer known as Mr. DeMuere but Dr. DeMuere, he accepted the offer and began to teach heartily.

His first days of teaching were the hardest. He had no idea what in the world he was doing. He finally settled into a steady pace, but being in the middle of nowhere just teaching brought along boredom. Eventually, he came to begin to enter the student tradition of placing bets on battles, eventually taking it upon himself to organize the system and soon becoming the "bookie." Now, he knows what he's doing, and runs an efficient betting system.

Code: I don't think you have the power to "Challenge Me" yet.

Other: n/a

Second: got merch?

Spoiler:

Name: Imari Anselmi

Nickname: Mari- but usually people just stick to Imari

Age: 17

Element:: Metal

Spells:

Iron Reduction- Imari creates a reduction in Iron instead, which goes to her. This iron can be drained from anywhere, including underground, from cars, etc. The iron begins to form a ball in front of her when this spell is used, and from there she can attack with it- however, usually it's too heavy to do anyways. This requires a bit of concentration, but not an extreme amount. Think, an iron Spirit Bomb.

Shift- Imari has the power to manipulate magnetic fields as well as give objects that usually do not have magnetic fields that property. She can manipulate the intensity of magnetic fields as well; the only downside is that she can only manipulate three fields at a time, leading to a more strategic approach in this attack than usual. This attack would regularly require a good amount of concentration; however, Imari has practiced this attack the most and thus has a better grip on this than most.

Iron Shell- The latest addition to her arsenal; this moves makes her enter what can be described as a chrysalis; and while she can still perform spells within it, she is not damaged unless the outer shell is broken. It requires extreme concentration up to the point it is cast, where it is extremely sturdy. It can only be used once per battle.

Appearance: Imari is a girl with flowing white hair and a black skull cap to go along with it. She has brown skin and is about 5' 5." She is usually seen grinning, and used to wear a gray hoodie and brown shorts that were two sizes too big on her, prompting her to wear a belt as well; although this is quick to change due to her recent outburst of profit- now her wardrobe changes as often as Kenneth's obsessions. Her eyes are big and are a light brown, and she has a watch on her left wrist that she has timed for specific intervals during the day, her next shipment of "contraband," apparently, and any times that seem extremely important to adhere by. She is usually flanked by people who want to buy her wares; however, she is also susceptible to theft, but can hold her own.

Personality: Kind but money-centered, Imari is the prestigious head of the underground black market of the Institute of Magic. She is kind, surprisingly to most; she's had several customers who have looked at her funny to learn that she's not a lynchpin or a descendant from the Italian mob. She is however, quite interested in anything that is worth something. To her, pennies are precious- but likewise, the more the better. She is known for having an obsession with keeping time now that she has a watch with an alarm, and is quite prompt. Hence why, mid-negotiation, she sometimes promises to come back later rather than finish it then. She is also known for giving her honest opinion on anything that does not affect profit; in fact, there are few times where she reduces profit on purpose. She, however, does lie about things that will help boost profit, and she's backstabbed a person or two do get her way.

History: Usually carefree and kind, Imari has slowly become money hungry over the years. Once living in a stable family who worked in the auto industry, she had been kind and had lots of money to spare, loving her mother and father as well as being their only child. She was quite happy and healthy, and continued to do everything she could. It was until an incident that involved her, her mother, her father, and much of the auto industry changed their lives.

At the age of eleven, Imari used Shift- accidentally- when on the day where the employees took their daughters to work, she found herself in front of a myriad of different cars. This was after a falling out with her father's boss, who she yelled at a few times for no apparent- nor important- reason. She had began to wonder about messing around with them- only hypothetically- when she accidently activated her ability. This caused a bunch of chain crashes of cars that were in production, and since she was the only one nearby during the incident, she was immediately accused of being guilty towards it, and conspiring with her father. While there was no conclusive evidence, her father was fired, and her mother had no job to begin with. This led to homelessness, welfare, randomness, the odd job, that kind of thing. But most of all, this led to Imari having a desperation for money; and a realization that she had a power. Her parents, of course, thought it was an accident; but she was aware that it was something else, and kept that to herself.

This carried on to when, some years later, she found herself at a junkyard. She tended to scavenge for old parts and sell them for profit, but today she found a multitude of cars there and such thought she had found the motherload. However, by manipulating Shift, as she had been doing lately, she began to remove the motors. In the process of removing them, her concentration was broken to the point that she ended up messing with one of the cars rather than the target instead, leading to the car going up into the air and crashing back down hard enough that dust was raised, and quickly settled. This, however, did not go unnoticed.

And a few days later, she would receive a letter to Vale.

Now a second year, this money-hungry girl still is money hungry- to the point where she already, in her first year, set up a black market system spanning the entire institute, in covert operation under the nose of the headmaster. Whether or not the headmaster is aware or she is simply allowed to conduct the market, she is not sure; but Imari is definitely sure that it rakes in the cash.

Code: Challenge me, but only if there's profit involved.

The gaping mouths are appreciated. These two characters will most likely only be used if their positions are called upon.

 

[Colony]

Both of Kenneth's character's are accepted. Don't worry, we've already got plans for them. >:)

The announcement is going to hit very soon! So, everyone be prepared.

 

[RecursiveAcronym]

Okay, so! I'm a spriter and I thought it'd be a fun idea to do pokemon trainer-style sprites for all of the characters. For example, I already talked to Colony and did Zane:

So, is anyone else interested in me doing a sprite of their character for them?

 

[disciplish]

I once sprited... now I'm a combination of busy as well as lazy- besides the fact that my skills are crappy anyways haha- so I would find it cool.

I could get back to it, though, if anyone ever needed something or if you get too many requests, Zipo. If not, I'll ask for the two SUs that I made, thanks in advance!

Also, Colony; should I bother making a post for those two, or should I just wait until later IC, considering their respective... occupations?

 

[RecursiveAcronym]

@Kenneth - I was planning to start with the main characters, the new students, as those are probably the most important, but I'll definitely get to those two at some point!

 

[Colony]

@Kenneth: You can post for Doc Osc and Mari, but there really wouldn't be anything that I could think of that they'd be able to do at the moment. Actually, on second thought, I have a wonderful idea. Let me PM it to you, though.
