Title: [OOC] Maelstrom Academy
Post by: Sapphiron on November 30, 2015, 05:17:08 PM
“First-year students, please proceed to the auditorium at the third storey for your opening day speech by the Headmaster.” the public address system announced.

In the next few minutes, the auditorium was packed with students sitting comfortably on red velvet armchairs. Some were exhilarated by the opportunity to enter such a prestigious academy, some were downcast to be finally made aware that the holidays are over, though most were just indifferent and believed it was just another year of school. When darkness enveloped the auditorium with the only source of light being the spotlight illuminating the podium, all eyes were on an individual adjusting the microphone. He was dressed in formal attire, which consists of a Victorian tailcoat, a cravat tie made up of three layers of cloth, each larger than the one above it and white trousers.

Clearing his throat with a cough, Selwyn declared in a tone of quiet authority, “Welcome to Maelstrom Academy, one of the top centres of learning for magically inclined individuals such as yourself. The very fact that you have been qualified to enroll in this educational institution makes you one of the rare few whose talent in the arcane arts has been acknowledged by the powers beyond. I am Selwyn, your headmaster, and you may call me Sir. Let me make this clear to all of you, especially those with a massively inflated ego, that while you may have been identified as one with great potential, most of you are still half baked. Until you surpass me, I expect to see all of you making the utmost effort to learn and develop your abilities. Here, it doesn’t matter which race you belong to, which language you speak, which socio-economic background you are from, in the end this academy belongs to me, all of you are my students and I want to see all of you succeed in life when you graduate. I don’t believe I have to elaborate on the impressive achievements your alumni have made. With that, I look forward to observing the physical manifestation of your growth and success.”

This will probably involve assignments that such as quests outside of school, tournaments, practical and theory examinations etc.

I have posted the application form for students in the opening post.

That said, would anyone be interested in taking up the role as a subject teacher? (eg. Potion Making, Combat Training, Ethics of Magic, Rune Study, etc)

Meanwhile, here are the uniforms, male  (http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire3/0b56824d45a67427700b3d7d022c6ab01410710986_full.jpg)and female (https://d3ieicw58ybon5.cloudfront.net/full/shop/product/4d84d9c0ed6646c6b8754208bf79c977.jpg).

Title: [Interest] Maelstrom Academy
Post by: Sapphiron on December 02, 2015, 04:55:22 AM
We need more students than teachers. By the way if you guys want to control two characters (one teacher, one student), it's fine for me.

Regarding additional subjects, the only other subject I can think of at the moment is Mental Training. The subject teacher's magic expertise will most probably be illusion manipulation.

We are not training demigods to become future deities. :P

As for the application for teachers, I will get it up as soon as possible. It is just an additional component to the student application asking for the subject you are teaching.

Ability: Marrionetakinesis
Biography:
Scion of the Cervantes family, Laura was groomed to be a refined gentlewoman from birth. The price of having the privilege to live an extravagant lifestyle was her personal freedom. While going through a series of sessions involving respectable educators whose expertise were on appropriate social conduct, she was constantly monitored by her guardians and punishments were meted out whenever she acted in a manner deemed to be unfit for her family name. When the indoctrination process was completed, her speech had become severely restricted and she was expected to maintain the facade of a polite demeanor before any individual she met.

Naturally, the unreasonably high parental expectations she had to deal with extended beyond her behaviour. Another fundamental requirement of being a Cervantes was decent academic achievements. As a result, the competitive gene in her developed into an insatiable thirst for wisdom, which was later utilized as a driving force for her pursuit of knowledge. A regular patron of the library with a genuine interest in learning, her report card was unsurprisingly filled with perfect scores, but when she showed it to her family with pride, all she received was admonishment for failing Physical Education.

Chained by deeply rooted traditions, she was fully aware that it was only right for her as the heir of the Cervantes family to meet the expectations of her progenitors, regardless of whether she was denied the affection of her family. Resigning herself to the fate of living a life dictated by someone else, she enrolled in Maelstrom Academy as instructed, mocked by the irony that her magical ability was so akin to her history, nothing more than a marionette controlled by strings.

Ability: Draconic Magic
Biography:

Zemas was born into a Noble family. Due to his parents' involvement in magic, something rather odd happened at birth. Zemas turned out to be a half-dragon, half-human. Fortunately, the human side was more dominant and Zemas looked like a rather ordinary human being from the outside. So, life continued on. His Father was a well known noble and his mother was a well known wizard. They loved Zemas very much and did everything for him. They did manage to teach some etiquette and how to act when he was young, but he broke these rules a lot.

Soon at around the age of 8, they found out Zemas had the ability to use magic. He seemed pretty skilled in the arcane arts for one who knew too little. They taught him some magic at home, and enrolled Zemas in a normal school. He excelled in his academics in every subject. He got straight 100's and his parents were suprised at Zemas' success. They decided to pull him out of school and decided to enroll him in one of the best schools known at that time. Unfortunately, his parents died in an unfortunate, but rather unknown, accident when he was 15.

He inherited family lands as the heir of the royal bloodline . Although he was sad about his parents death, he decided he could live on his own (and without restrictions) and constantly read about magic and history. He decided to enroll at the Maelstrom Academy due to his deep connection to magic and his understanding about it. He hopes to become one of the most famous Magic Users and most powerful. He seeks to know all the secrets to magic and the arcane. Zemas decided to pay attention to every word the teachers said and read up when he could.

Likes: Lore, Literally everything to do with magic, Reading, Power, Friends
Dislikes: Orders (But will do anything to achieve more magic power), People seeing his private thoughts and information.

Notes: Is the magical birth okay? I don't know if it would fit in.

What's "tuned with magic"? Magical birth is alright.

P.S. In case anyone is mistaken, while I did mention that Maelstrom Academy is a top school, your character does not necessarily have to be good at academics, (s)he just has a great potential in developing his/her magic abilities.

Can it be Draconic Magic? Able to use it, but the ability starts off weak in the beginning.

Edit: The ability will only advance through tedious reading of books. So, it won't be a very fast learning.

Ability: Mind Manipulation, basically...

Biography:
Velvet Raskelton wasn't born into royalty or nobility or anything- nah. She's just your average human being. Her father is a very wealthy merchant who travels constantly, and she only gets to see him once every year or so. Velvet's mother was murdered, so she was raised by her grandmother on a farm. Yes, a farm. She attended a normal school, had normal friends, you know...she pretty much had a normal life.

But then Velvet discovered she could use magic. It was during a day at school, where she was teasing a new kid, and Velvet had unknowingly cast a small but...rather scary hallucination upon him. After being labeled a 'monster' by her classmates, Velvet went home that day in disappointment and told her grandmother what had happened. But her grandmother was delighted, and praised her greatly. Happy with this, Velvet hit the books, and has studied magic ever since.

Wanting to hone her skills and gain more knowledge, Velvet enrolled into the Maelstrom Academy. Her usually wild and rebellious attitude was toned down after she learned her grandmother had passed away a few days after she left to join the academy. Her grandmother's death pushed Velvet even harder to become the best wizard this school has ever seen.

@Sapphiron Can I run an ability by you before I try to make a character out of it? I was thinking it to be "Ethereal Projection". I made it by drawing from Second Sight ("Projection" ability) and Bioshock 2 ("Scout" and "Decoy" plasmids), but they can also be found on the wiki you posted. Basically my character will be able to project an ethereal (non-corporeal) form, which he can use in two ways. He can only do one of these at a time, and they're somewhat unstable at the time of his admittance into the Academy. I plan on making him learn to improve it throughout the rp.

The first way: he inhabits the ethereal projection, leaving his body behind helpless, and (being ethereal) he is invisible and can move through walls but cannot interact with any objects. As of now, he can only go roughly 150 feet (~half a football field) or 15 minutes before starting to wake up, and it takes a bit of energy out of him after he returns to his body if he reaches these limits.

The second way: he projects the ethereal form (which looks like a real person but is like a hologram) to a stationary position, which is meant to act as a decoy. As of now, it's noticeable that it's fake if you're within like a few feet but is pretty effortless to keep it up for less than 15 minutes (max: an hour).

Again, the plan would be for him to improve these with experience. Let me know if this works or is too OP or anything.

Student Application

Name: Elliot Stokes
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Appearance: Elliot is a small and short person, having a height of 5'4" and weighing only 105 lbs. Elliot is neither strong nor adept in sport, although somewhat agile, owing to his small stature and relative lack of muscle. He has short and jet-black hair with long bangs covering his forehead. He also wears thin rectangular glasses.
Ability: Apparition
Biography: The youngest of two, Elliot is an eager, ambitious student who sometimes overshadows his elder sister. Resultingly, he is unofficially seen as the favourite of the two children and heir to the moderately-wealthy Stokes fortune. This sometimes inspires resentment among the two siblings, but they remain very close, and Elliot's extraverted and jubilant personality allows him to brush the argumentative feelings aside.

Prior to entering school, Elliot was raised mainly by his father, as his mother was busy with her career. His father was not overbearing by any means, but such lax nature did not rub off onto Elliot. That being said, Elliot is still a perfectionist in his academics and magic, mostly due to internal motivation and drive for greatness, coupled with the desire to make his father proud despite his lack of overbearingness. Elliot discussed with his father and felt it was his own best choice to enroll at the Maelstrom Academy, who reluctantly agreed despite the time Elliot would spend away from the family. As a consequence, Elliot always works very hard at his schooling despite already being innately bright (although not to a level of super-intelligence or even the smartest in the class).

If one were to describe Elliot in the style of Harry Potter houses, he would resemble a Slytherin most closely, although he possesses strong Ravenclaw traits as well. Elliot has always aspired to become a magical educator and is currently seeking a teacher's assistant position at the Academy with the Potions teacher. (OOC: this doesn't have to take too much IC time seeing as how the Academy needs more students than teachers.)

To quote the Harry Potter wiki page on charms (ultimately what I based the term off of):
Quote from: Charm - Harry Potter Wiki
A charm is a spell that adds certain properties to an object or creature. Charms are distinguished from transfigurations in that a charm adds or changes properties of an object; it focuses on altering what the object does as opposed to what the object is.
[/b]
Come to think of it, that sounds similar to telekinetic powers. And a subset of magic probably wasn't the sort powers you were looking for. I can change it to something else.

EDIT:Loving the editing system here. The [/b] was supposed to be removed in place of "/quote" but it didn't work.

Capabilities
User can create, shape and manipulate gravitation, a natural phenomenon by which all physical bodies attract each other, and gravitons, hypothetical elementary particles that mediate the force of gravitation.

User can bend gravity to make the environment very “heavy” or “light”, cause objects to “fall” toward another object instead of the earth (“nexus inducing”), flatten objects, and generate miniature black holes to compress objects into oblivion. They can repel and attract matter and energy regardless of its mass or move objects in a manner similar to telekinesis.

Offensive uses of this power include repulsing people or objects with such force to shatter practically anything, increasing gravity to crush or immobilize opponents, decreasing it to render them defenseless, or surrounding one's body in a gravitational field to amplify physical strength. Defensive uses include creating a gravitational force-field to repel all manner of attacks or anchoring oneself to the ground.

May be useless in areas with no gravity (not much of an issue though since technically anywhere even space has gravity).
Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon of the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user, and their power's natural limits.
Gravity is the weakest of the fundamental forces, so this power may lose out against manipulations of the other forces.
As gravity is the result of warped space-time, users of Chronolock or Space-Time Manipulation may affect/be unaffected.
Users of Gravity Negation or Physical Force Immunity can ignore gravity.
Energy Manipulation
The power to manipulate energy.

Also Called
Autokinesis
Dynamokinesis
Energybending
Energy Control
Ergokinesis

Capabilities
User can create, shape and manipulate energy, one of the basic quantitative properties describing a physical system or object's state. It can be transformed (converted) among a number of forms that may each manifest and be measurable in differing ways. The law of conservation of energy states that the (total) energy of a system can increase or decrease only by transferring it in or out of the system, thus the total energy of a system can be calculated by simple addition when it is composed of multiple non-interacting parts or has multiple distinct forms of energy.

Common energy forms include the kinetic energy of a moving object, the radiant energy carried by light and other electromagnetic radiation, and various types of potential energy such as gravitational and elastic.

Capabilities
User can create, shape and manipulate visible light, commonly referred to simply as light, is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight.

Primary properties of visible light are intensity, propagation direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum, and polarisation, while its speed in a vacuum (299,792,458 meters per second/186,000 MPS) is one of the fundamental constants of nature. Visible light, as with all types of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), is experimentally found to always move at this speed in vacuum.

In common with all types of EMR, visible light is emitted and absorbed in tiny "packets" called photons, and exhibits properties of both waves and particles. This property is referred to as the wave–particle duality. The study of light, known as optics, is an important research area in modern physics.

This can be achieved by various means, including causing the atoms/molecules to travel at light-speed, warping the space, or use quantum superposition, in which the user teleports by replacing and restocking energy in a spatial behavior.

While teleportation may seem like it is simply for travel, it can actually be a valuable ability, as it can be used offensively (and quite powerful, as a spatial attack), while offering superiority in terms of movement speed and distance coverage, and a skilled strategist/tactician can use it for many innovative manners.

Applications
Empathic Teleportation: Teleport to those the user has strong feelings for or can teleport to those who have strong feelings towards the user.
Flash Step: Teleport short distances.
Isoportation: Teleport short to shift facing.
Matter Substitution: Substitute one collection of molecules with another.
Partial Teleportation: Teleport parts of a target away.
Remote Teleportation: Teleport others away without transporting oneself along with them or requiring physical contact; can be used both offensively and defensively.

Supplementary
Teleport out of harm's way.
Teleport into the air at steady intervals to simulate Flight.
Teleport great distances, reducing travel time.
Teleport past walls and obstacles.
Teleport objects to another location, creating instant mailing.

Offensive
Teleport objects into a target, causing telefrag, which can punch holes or bisect the target.
Teleport objects into another object, causing the object to displace the object teleported. (Using glass to cut a concrete pillar or metal sticks into a target's body.)
Teleport air or water molecules when more physical ammunition is lacking.
Teleport an attack back at a target.
Teleport a target to users front to intercept an incoming attack, defending themselves and causing the target's attempt to backfire at the same time.
Teleport anything small to around the target to immobilize the opponent.
Teleport a massive object above the target, letting it crash down to crush the target to death.
Teleport a burst of air into the atmosphere and/or earth, causing shock waves or earthquakes respectively.

Techniques
Spatial Attacks
Teleportation Combat
Teleportation Slash
Teleportation Strike

Variations
Deconstruction- The body breaks up into various materials (i.e. ice or crystals, rose petals,) and reconstruct elsewhere, possibly moving as the materials. In some cases, the user's limbs and body simply separate and reform in another location.
Instant Transmission (Energy Reading/Transportation)- Teleport to any location as long as they can find an energy source to lock onto. May need Ki Sense, Aura Reading, or Energy Vision.
Location Swapping (Switching/Trading)- Distort space to exchange one subject with another.
Mathematical Teleportation- Teleport by using mathematical formula/probability.
Molecular Teleportation (Reconstruction)- Teleport by disassembling molecules and reassembling them elsewhere.
Portal Creation- Teleport by opening a spatial portal around oneself, instantly shifting locations, or even keep the portals open to allow others to use for later.
Subspace Travel- Teleport into and out of subspace (also known as hyperspace), an "alternate" space adjacent the "normal" space and integral to the space-time continuum. This allows the user (and anything that they teleport) to travel much faster than the speed-of-light in normal space, as they move from one location to another instantaneously, while ignoring all physical obstacles in between.
Teleport Dash- Combination of high speed with teleportation which allows user to ignore normal rules.
Teleportation Orb Generation- Movement accomplished by "bubbles", "orbs" or domes of psionic energy set at the starting point and the destination point.
Tracking Teleportation- Teleport to any person the user desires to find.
Sympathetic Travel- Teleport through/via energy/matter/object by merging into it and emerging elsewhere from the same energy/matter/object.
Catoptric Teleportation (Mirror Travel)- Teleport through/via mirrors or reflective surfaces, or teleport subjects into mirrors, trapping them within (Mirror Imprisonment).
Doorway/Gateway Teleportation (Door/Gate Travel)- Teleport through/via doors/gates.
Elemental Teleportation- Teleport through/via element.
Lunaportation (Moon Teleportation/Moon Travel)- Teleport through/via moon's energy/power.
Oneiric Teleportation (Dream Teleportation/Dream Travel)- Teleport through/via dreams/sleep.
Organic Teleportation- Teleport through/via organic matter.
Rainbow Teleportation- Teleport through/via rainbow.

Levels
Basic Level: User is capable of teleporting short distances, from one side of a room to another, or a few blocks away. User can only teleport themselves and very limited amount of mass, equal to what they are wearing/carrying.

Advanced Level: User is capable of teleporting large distances, from one side of a field to another, or a few kilometers or so. User can teleport limited mass, equal to several people/heavy household appliances.

Expert Level: User is capable of teleporting thousands of kilometers, on a continental scale. User can teleport mass equal to a bus/industrial machine.

Master Level: User is capable of teleporting on planetary scale, moving anywhere on the planet or possibly to the closest satellite such as the Moon. User can teleport mass equal to buildings.
Empathy
The power to fully interpret and replicate the emotions, moods, and temperaments of others. Users are often called Empaths.

Also Called
Empathic Perception/Sense

Capabilities
The user can fully interpret and replicate the emotions, moods, and temperaments of others without reading apparent symptoms, allowing them to understand introverts or discover one emotion is actually hiding another. They can attack someone in a personal and emotional way since they know exactly what emotion is flowing through themselves and can use this knowledge to play against them. Some users may learn to read emotional imprints left into environment or objects.

Usually over time, an Empath's power grows to the point that they can manipulate emotions on others, and possibly use them to empower themselves. User may learn to extend their power over/on vast number of sentient beings or reach extreme distances, even other levels of existence but this may be possible only if the user has emotional link to those they search already in effect.

Applications
Animal Empathy
Combat Perception - Predict foe's movements by reading their emotional pulses.
Ecological Empathy
Emotion Detection
Emotion Manipulation
Emotional Energy Manipulation
Emotion Negation - Make the user or others feel no emotions.
Empathic Echoes
Empathic Conversion
Empathic Creation
Empathic Inundation - Overloading one's foes with vast amounts of emotions.
Plant Empathy
Psychic Navigation - Can sense the presence of others by sensing their emotions.
Sensorial Link - Through emotions.

Variations
Empathy has many branches of power. Ranging from very weak to very advance. As the user becomes more advanced those branches may grow. Here are some levels that other empaths have displayed having/may gain:

Clairaudience - Some Empaths have displayed the ability to not only feel emotions, but also "hear" the heightened thoughts associated with that specific emotions. This is probably due to the fact that both cortices (emotional and mental) so closely relate to one another. An example would be if an empath senses two spouses aiming a lot of hatred towards one another. The empath might get the echo of thought along with that emotion (E.g. "I cant believe he's cheating on me after all these years"). However this is not to be confused with Telepathy. An Empath can only get visionary "echoes" related to certain emotions. They cannot read full memories.
Clairempathy - More advanced users of empathy have shown the ability to sense emotions over great distances such as cities, countries, continents, and other dimensions and planes (The Astral Plane AKA The Emotional Plane).
Clairvoyance - An Empath forges an emotional connection with another being. If that connection stays opens, the Empath is able to sense when that person is in danger and is also able to locate them by their "emotional scent". To give you an better understanding of this, one could consider this the empathic version of "Vampiric Siring" (see "True Blood", "Buffy", "Moonlight", and "The Vampire Dairies" for an understanding of supernatural "Siring"). See also Sensory Scrying
Empathic Illusion Casting - Empaths can create illusions based on certain emotions.
Empathic Healing - This is a level that is somewhat rare and not many can master. When an Empath "heals" wounds that are physical they don't heal the actual injury. The Empath simply takes the pain into themselves so the victim no longer feels that pain. However, Empaths can heal emotional wounds, but healing physical wounds is somewhat uncommon.
Empathic Mimicry - Higher level Empaths use this power to tap into others' abilities. This is done by the Empath channeling someone and finding the exact emotion that triggers their power. The Empath, so long as they remember that emotion, is able to use/copy that person's power, and maybe even turn powers against their users.
Empathic Power Absorption - Highly advanced Empaths can steal the powers of others for their own by using an associated emotion, leaving the victim powerless.
Empathic Power Randomization - Powerful Empaths can gain random powers based on their mood and emotions (gaining Regenerative Healing Factor or Invulnerability when scared, or Enhanced Strength when angry).
Empathic Projection - Some Empaths can develop the ability to project their own emotions onto others.
Intuitive Empathy - Unlike Empathic Mimicry where the user simply channels and copies others powers, Intuitive Empathy gives that user the knowledge to know how to use the ability intuitively.
Lie Detection - Empaths can sense when a person is lying to them, as lying can cause an irregularity in one's emotions. More skilled users and pick out what that lie is and find the truth.
Psychic Navigation - Empaths can sense a person by the emotional wavelength they give off or "empathic scent".
Psychometry - There are some places that have constant emotional residue (due to major events happening in that location war, death, historical moments, etc.). Some Empaths are able to tap into those emotional (lower level users that enter these places are overpowered involuntarily) imprints and re-experience those emotions as if they were happening in that moment. If skilled enough, some Empaths can also see the emotional echoes (images/residual ghosts) still there. This would be due to high levels of concentrated emotional energy.
Techno-Empathy - Empaths can sense the emotions of machines and other technology.
Telempathy - Empath can not only sense others emotions, but they can also send their own emotions to others. Users can communicate with one another emotionally and if skilled enough send "echoes" (ie: it means a quick glimpse of an image, e.g. sending the emotion of love to another user and the receiver seeing an image of their loved one like a mother, child, or spouse) of images back and forth.

Student Application
Name: Karlien van Rensburg
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Appearance:
Karlien is of average height, with blue eyes and an almost permanently fixed mischievous grin on her face. She has red hair, and dresses in light colours when in a casual setting.
Ability: Telekinesis.
Biography: Karlien's parents were murdered in a robbery gone bad when she was 2 years old, and so she was raised by her aunt in the crime-infested under-bellies of Luminera in Laurentus States. Her aunt raised her to be kind and warm, and allowed her to develop her personality on her own terms. Karlien is consequently laid-back, and often slightly mischievous. While making good grades, she doesn't aim to be the best, and this has left some of her teachers to remark that she doesn't perform to her fullest potential.

She discovered she was uniquely gifted one day when a rugby ball came flying at her head, and she inadvertently stopped it with her telekinetic abilities. It was only for the briefest of moments, but it was enough for the Maelstrom Academy to contact her aunt. Karlien was less-than-excited about the "opportunity," as in her mind, the worst thing that could happen was being "sent off to some foreign place away from my friends."

Her aunt, while usually being too kind to take a firm stance with Karlien, saw this as one time when she needed to do so for Karlien's own good, and forced her to go.

While saddened because of leaving her old life behind, she is determined to make the most of the situation now, and develop her abilities fully.

Likes: Socialising, sports.
Dislikes: Discipline, Routine, Over-achieving people.
Teacher Application
Name: Neels van Staden
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Appearance: Dark brown hair; grey eyes; sharp, straight nose. He is powerfully built, standing at 1.88 meters tall and weighing 98 kilograms. He has a permanent frown from concentration.
Ability: Advanced Empathy, allowing him to predict people's actions. This is in addition to the basic assortment of skills required to be an effective teacher.
Subject: Combat Training.
Biography: Neels was raised in a prominent New Hatfieldian family, being the eldest child amid four other siblings. He excelled at combat magic from a young age, due to his natural empathic abilities, and graduated with flying colours from the Maelstrom Academy, and immediately decided that he would like nothing more than to shape future generations by becoming a teacher at the academy.

He was raised to be dutiful, chivalrous and responsible. This has left him with a distinct distaste for "slackers," and he drives his students hard to reach their maximum potential.
Likes: Exercise, Diligence, Routine.
Dislikes: Loud noises, surprises.

Student Application

Name: Mads Skovgaard
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Appearance: Unkempt light brown hair, dark blue eyes, disheveled look, average height, on the thin side
Ability: Non-Corporeal Projection
Biography: Mads Skovgaard grew up in a family of dysfunction. He was the third unplanned, unwanted child born to unloving, lower class parents. His two older brothers were twins and bullied him, taking out their anger on him as their parents took it out on them. As soon as they were old enough, they left their family behind and moved away without telling anyone where they were going. At age 14, Mads then became the target of his parents’ frustration and ire (besides each other). Though Mads was a bright student, he took no interest in school because he felt his classes were too easy and his parents didn’t care, so he often slept or daydreamed of being somewhere else.

On his fifteenth birthday, Mads was locked in his room as usual. It was a really nice day out, so he just stared out his window at the woods behind his house, wishing he could be out there – out of his prison. He quickly fell asleep and woke up. He stood up and looked down to see himself still sleeping, but he thought he was dreaming, so he didn’t think much of it. He walked over to his door and tried to turn the doorknob, but his hand passed right through it. He then passed his hand then his head through the door, realizing he could walk through walls. He saw his parents watching TV without arguing for once, so he thought it must definitely be a dream. He walked up and yelled in their faces, but they didn’t react at all, so they must not have been able to seen him. He then quickly ran through the front door to go outside and into the woods where he laid in the grass and fell asleep. He woke back up in his room feeling physically tired, which was strange since he was just sleeping. He then got up, picked the lock on his door (which he had come to master), and opened the door to see his parents still on the couch, just as they were in his dream. This same ghost-like dream happened several more times the next few days until he finally realized it wasn’t a dream; he actually was able to move out of his body, become invisible, and walk through walls.

This completely changed the way he saw the world. In class, where before he just slept, now he slept then projected his non-corporeal self to explore the school, though he couldn’t make it too far outside the school because he would wake up. He even snuck into other people’s houses after school just to explore and see how other people lived, though it didn’t last long. To improve upon this new power to travel further and longer in his projected state, he tried to research it. He didn’t find much, but he did learn something about a school just for people who could perform magical feats such as his, so he immediately asked his parents if he could go there. Happy to get rid of him, they quickly enrolled him to attend Maelstrom Academy without even knowing what it was.

Likes: Exploring (especially where he’s not allowed), learning (if it’s challenging), being outside, lock picking
Dislikes: Having to stay in a room for a long period, family, monotonous schoolwork

Note: He just does the projection where he becomes non-corporeal, not the decoy projection like I said before.

@Laurentus
As the instructor for Combat Training, the scope of topics you can teach is very diverse, varying from hand-to-hand combat to mastering one's magic ability. It's ultimately up to you (which means you can choose and name the facility/room you want to teach in, you just have to describe what's inside) which you wish to start with and yep, there will be a major examination at some point but teachers can give graded assignments every now and then.

For now, whenever you are ready, you can assume that all students have arrived in your class, unless a student character deliberately posted that (s)he will be skipping class or the equivalent.

So I can Biomorph, and I wanted your opinion on a thought.
While being in another form, can we talk?( But plant cause plant don't talk or it's an Ent) Or does we have to be in the form of a living thing that can talk?

Name:
Deviant Amon Hietala

Gender:
Male

Age: 16

Appearance:
Deviant is a somewhat short lad, standing at only five feet and two inches tall, and he's rather lean and somewhat nobbley at the knees with that. His fingers and somewhat long and slender, but don't be mistaken by his somewhat weak looking hands, they can grab on and hold on for dear life when the chance arises. His cheeks are somewhat slender and his shoulders are smaller, if one wasn't paying attention enough they could mistake him for a petite female. His legs are pale, just like the rest of him really, they're skinny and nobbley but he can run fast if startled badly enough. His body type is very thin and petite, he looks like he could gain a few pounds, during his worse weeks his ribs might protrude out a bit. Let's move on from that, yeah?
His eyes, are color of ice blue and as sharp as an icicle, poking at people with the observant, icy tips. Now then, onto his locks. His hair is the color of a raven, as dark as the night and as deep as space. In other words; it's black. It's slightly longer in the back with it going down about a third or so of his pale neck, the sides can very clearly cover his ears, whilst the bangs usually hang around his face if he bothers to push them out of the way, they can go all the way down to the tip top of his cheek bones. Now then, his skin, isn't exactly very flawless. It's pale, but there are quite a few scars.  An example of one is a scar on his stomach,  it's about two inches long and a couple of centimeters wide and a nice marble like color, he has little to no memory as to how he got that one, he most likely got it when he was a child and tripped or something. Lastly; his nails. They're strong little things, of course they can still break but he does take pride in them not breaking constantly, and he does keep them a little sharp in case he keeps to claw someone or hold onto something.

Ability:
Hydrokinesis (I can always change this if need be ^o^)

Biography:
Deviant didn't exactly have a 'way out there' childhood, but it defiantly had some...ups and downs. The small boy was born on a cold winter day, December 21st to be exact in the early morning, as a light shimmer of snow fell upon the ground. Sound majestic? Yeah, it wasn't exactly very majestic having to push a wheelchair out of the hospital through a couple inches of slushy black ice while a cranky lady is holding a crying baby, or at least so his father said so. But, that's a whole nother story. Anywho, his childhood was pretty normal, save for when he was twelve. Oh boy. He had simply been in a bad mood, due to his mom yelling at him over a low score on a text, when he had gotten a glass of water and the entire glass had shattered once he had done so. Why had it shattered? His anger and bad mood had intertwined and had accidentally sparked his magic, causing the water pressure in the glass to rise rapidly and force the glass outward, making it shatter like a piece of ice thrown at the ground.
Thus, that was when the small twelve year old learned he had a small gift of magic, and thus his mother, who had apparently decided not to tell him until now that her side of the family had a history of nature related magic, started to train him to at least get a grip on his magical powers.
Then, he got a letter to attend Maelstrom, and now his new adventure begins.

Likes:
Small animals - Though he would never admit it openly, he has a softer side when it comes to furry little creatures, mostly cats and rabbits.
Drawing - It's a small talent of his, he's rather good at drawing flowers, he's best with markers since that's all he used when he was four until he was ten. What? Don't judge, you would too.
Baking - Okay, maybe he likes making brownies a little more than some people do.
Sweets in general - Chocolate? Yes please.
Astrology - He isn't sure why, but it's always interested him.
Reading - He likes a lot of writers. Wordsworth, Goethe, Wilde, Keats, many writers indeed.

Dislikes:
Idiots - Seriously, he hates uneducated people.
Ignorance - He doesn't understand how people just can not know things.
Storms - When he was about seven, he was playing in a small orchard by his house and a storm had started up, and thus he had gotten caught in it until his dad came and brought him home. Since then, he's hated them.
Weirdos - Get away, creep!
People who make fun of his height - It's not funny. He swears, it's not funny.
Math - He's terrible at it, he doesn't get it, he doesn't want to do it.

I hope this is good, tell me if I need to change anything!

Ever an eager fellow, he didn't wait for an answer.
Take it this way: Zemas could've been the random classmate, so Elliot could've actually spoken to him, and Zemas would thus wonder through what means he had disappeared, especially after him leaving without waiting for a reply.

I believe @xXTheHydraXx had Talia find two pieces of candy in this post:
Talia cast the spell. She didn't know that much about spells and mind manipulation, so she did struggle a little. After her third try, she felt the aura flowing around her. She saw a faint glow around the bookshelves, which suddenly disappeared as Laura touched it, dropping a lollipop. So that's what we get, she thought. Talia turned, trying to sense more, and she felt compelled to a desk. She walked towards it, and upon touching it to search inside, a pack of gum appeared on top without her knowing, as she was deep in search inside the desk. Once she noticed the desk was empty, she stood up, and to her amazement, a pack of gum was just sitting on top of the desk. How could I be so stupid? she wondered.

There are two dormitories located in the school compound, one for each gender. Each room holds two students, and they can identify their rooms through the nameplates on the door. Within each room contain a double decker bed, two wardrobes magically filled with uniforms of the perfect size (male (http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire3/0b56824d45a67427700b3d7d022c6ab01410710986_full.jpg) and female (https://d3ieicw58ybon5.cloudfront.net/full/shop/product/4d84d9c0ed6646c6b8754208bf79c977.jpg)), two study tables and a cabinet to keep personal belongings. Bathroom facilities can be found on every storey.

We will be skipping to the next period. As of currently, either Taintedpaws and Lumenland will pick their teammates or the rest can volunteer to join either of them.

@Commander_Zemas, @Taintedpaws, @Barnes, @Laurentus, @Gerrick, @Rasdanation, @xXTheHydraXx, @Lumenland

Is the map roughly proportional to the real distances? So the CTF area is roughly 200m by 550m, and the bridges are roughly 50m wide?

I'd respond, but I honestly can't due to an event that just happened.

Yep

I hope you are fine, and don't worry, it will take some time for the rest to post anyway.

Post by: Sapphiron on February 09, 2016, 06:11:51 PM
Deviant and Velvet ultimately get to choose which classmates they want on their team as the team leaders ... but if any of the students feel strongly about joining either of the teams, go ahead and approach the team leader ICly.

how many persons are allowed on each team? or is it just randomly divided?
Title: [OOC] Maelstrom Academy
Post by: Sapphiron on February 10, 2016, 10:43:10 AM
There is a total of 9 student characters so minimum of 4 and maximum of 5 on each team.

I am. I specifically feel awful because I've been so inactive this week. I've just been swamped with catching up on schoolwork. I never actually foresaw this when I joined the RP. I'm at my job right now, so I don't know if I have time to write anything.
