School of shadows(OOC)

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Typhon13 on Fri Jul 24, 2009 12:35 pm

When most people think of a school for magic, the imagine happy children learning to make things fly,change color, and so on, but what of the area's of magic that are darker & more dangerous than "normal" magics, teaching the students the forgotten arts of necromancy, summoning, dark-arts, swordsmanship and more.

Looking for both students (11-18) and teachers (25-55) The headmaster is an NPC and will hopefully not be involved very much. For teachers, i'd like a more detailed personality & biography as they've lived longer & have more experiences.

Heres my character-
Name: Cyrus kantor
Age: 39
Race: Human
Class: Dueling
Appearance: 6'1, 210 lbs. with a very atheletic build, dark blue narrowed eyes with a nasty scar over the left eye. He has close cut black hair & seemingly permanent 5 O'clock shadow. Wears dark, functional robes & often has concealed armor
Personality: Cyrus is a very passionate about his job, but can be rude, sarcastic & borderline abusive when confronted with wanton stupidity & lazyness. However, he does genuinely care about the students & will do what he can to help them, valuing participation & imagination more than actual talent. Comes off as an undoubtedly brilliant. if slightly crazy man, years of battle have made his impressive mind & fiendish imagination even more twisted & paranoid.
Biography: Cyrus kantor was one of the school of shadows best graduates in the past 150 years, having graduated with honors in dueling,dark arts & swordsmanship. He spent the next 20 years doing various jobs-a four time back-to-back dueling campion, monster hunter and overall wand for hire. He returned last year to pass on his almost unmatched skills & knowledge to the younger generations.
Skills: Dueling master, dark arts mastery, alt. form (hydra)
Strengths: Passionate, smart, imaginative, funny
Weaknesses: Demanding, manic.

Re: School of shadows(OOC)

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Mindscrew Min-Min on Fri Jul 24, 2009 1:15 pm

Ooh, this looks interesting. Deliciously sinister as always,Typhon.

Student profile:
Name: Keira Gurevich
Age: 15
Race: Werewolf
Appearance: Keira is a petite girl with short blonde hair and slate-gray eyes that always have an annoyed, dark quality about them. She always wears a glove that goes up to her elbow on her left hand, but her right hand is horribly burned. (She only does the glove thing so that people will ask.)
Personality: Keira is what most people expect when they think of werewolves: she's tough and aggressive and doesn't take crap from anyone. There are rumors going around that she actually eats nails for breakfast without milk, which is pretty dumb--she actually eats human flesh, with a nice tall glass of milk. She generally lives without morals and can be sadistic, cold, and cruel, paying no mind to the rules or society in general, but sometimes she lapses into fits of blithering compassion that seem very out of character for her and are inexplicable to most onlookers.
Biography: [[Hoboy, where to begin? I've had this character for a while and done many different versions of her, so she has a lot of history, but I'll just give you the basics that never change and further develop it in the RP for this universe.]] Keira grew up privileged but miserable, the only daughter of an ancient and powerful family of accomplished sorcerers, who were determined to keep their bloodline untainted at any cost. Thus, her parents were first cousins. Her father was a big misogynist and disappointed that his wife had given him a daughter instead of a son to carry on the family name. Unfortunately for him, Keira's birth messed up her mother's reproductive system, making her unable to have any children. He blamed Keira for this setback and has always hated her.

He beat her frequently and once went as far as to throw her onto the stove, which was still turned on. She managed to thrust out her hand and stop her fall before she face-planted onto it, but it still left her disfigured and changed her outlook on many aspects of life. She grew to respect people who were damaged like her, particularly when it came to relationships. I guess you could call her a teratophiliac, what with her attraction to disfigurement.

Anyway, after that little incident, she decided to take revenge, not by hurting him, but by damaging herself--she put herself in the path of a werewolf on the next full moon, effectively tainting her bloodline and bringing shame upon her family. She was thrown out of the house by her father after that (her mother, though protective and loving, was powerless in her house, domineered by and afraid of her tyrant husband, and could do nothing for her daughter, and, in any case, it was probably safer for Keira to move out, anyway). When not at school, Keira now stays at a friend's house.
Skills: She's good with survival magic, spending so much time outdoors and all, and able to heal (and unheal) most anything.
Weaknesses: The full moon (obviously), silver (once again, obvious), heights (being a werewolf in a traditional sense, she is strongly tied to the earth element and therefore hates heights--no airborne sports for her, then), and sudden fluctuation in temperature (also an earth thing--low specific heat.) On a lighter, not physically weakening note, she has a weakness and sympathy for broken people.
Want to know more? Read the book to find out.

Re: School of shadows(OOC)

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby HISS on Fri Jul 24, 2009 1:59 pm

Name: Zuru Retnur
Age: 15
Race: Half-Demon
Appearance:Image
Personality: A very childish girl, always causing trouble and making people confused. She's happy-go-lucky most of the time, and usually has no shame in whatever she says or does. Making her angry could be a hard challenge, but would be very easy if anyone knew her past, even though that would earn them ice cold glares everyday. She's very lazy, and doesn't mind that she's usually the shortest of her class, but is more proud of it. Anyways, who could resist a plead from a 10 year old looking girl? She can be serious if she wanted to, but she never is. Only when is needed. Her emotions were slightly messed up because of her past, and she is still trying to find out what is what. She is actually very smart, even though she acts like an idiot, and could find out someone's weakness just by observing them. Even so, she doesn't use her advantages, more likely hiding them so she can give a surprise attack.
Biography: Zuru back then was a silent mystery, only having one goal in mind. That one goal was to get stronger and always be strong. Her father was a strict person, always pushing Zuru to her limits before even getting a break. Her mother on the other hand was very supportive and caring, always encouraging her. She knew that her father loved her and only wanted the best, but she wished for freedom than anything else. So, she challenged her father to a duel, but lost by a mere mistake. Still, her father said she could live on her own and be stronger, and so she did that, aiming to make her parents proud of course. Over the few years, she learned to control her new found emotions, but is still trying to figure out the other half.
Skills: Her main skill would be fighting, hand-to-hand or with a sword. She can also talk with animals and is good with Beastiary, for a sub skill.
Weaknesses: Holy Magic or anything related to the element Light. Chocolate is also a huge weakness for her, in normal terms.

So, just to clarity, is this like a boarding school type of thing, or do we have to drive, walk, or carpool to school every day?

Boarding school, rule of thumb for these characters is that they'd never fit in at a "normal" school for magic, after all, being badly injured & (maybe) killed is a possibility when having a school full of spells, potions, objects & creatures that can kill and cripple relativley easily. this does not include other students & teachers who get caught up in sub-plots (Example, your characters dad hiring werewolf hunters, vengeful aquaintences from cyruss lurid past, ect.

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Invuluntary Surgery on Fri Jul 24, 2009 2:37 pm

He everyone, hope you don't mind a new person popping in.

Student profile:
Name: Katherine "Kitty" Amaranth
Age: 17
Race: Vampire
Appearance: Image
Personality: Kitty is a girl of many faces--at first glance, she appears shallow and self-centered, though she shows signs of being inwardly kind and sweet. Underneath all of that is the side that few people are able to see through to--the real Kitty is manipulative, cold, and really quite monstrous. Not that she goes out of her way to physically hurt people--no, those types of dealings are much too crude. She'd much rather toy with people's minds, especially those of the male gender. She knows she's lovely and uses it to her advantage, turning sexuality into a painful trap at best, and a mental AK-47 at worst. The most bizarre part is, she doesn't even have a real motive to do these things. It's just for the evulz, she supposes.
Biography: Kitty was orphaned at a young age, her virtuous parents killed by a band of ravaging thugs. She was sent to live with her cousins in a big family, who were loving, but never seemed to value her as much. Though she showed promise and talent, she was always shunted to the side, and, however gently it was, it made rage boil up inside her cold, nonbeating heart.

She experimented with delinquent pastimes, and when her aunt and uncle disciplined her for screwing around with boys by whipping her, the troubled, indignant girl snapped. For a few weeks, she acted like the perfect little girl, helping out with chores and staying out of trouble, and then, the mansion was found burned down, the whole family killed in the fire. There was blood on the floor, and all evidence seemed to indicate that Kitty had been dragged off, violated, and murdered. They never found her body, though, and no one even thought of suspecting she had a hand in the act...not sweet little Kitty...

Skills: Kitty is a superior duelist, making up for what she lacks in strength with her great intuition and intelligent strategy.
Weaknesses: The sun, people who are smart and manipulative like her and able to see through her fronts

((Hey Mindscrew, is it okay if Kitty is the friend that Keira's currently rooming with outside of the school year? I thought it might make it interesting to have some connection to another character. It's your call, though.))

Yeah, sure, that'd be great! They're both kind of on the evil side, but very different types of evil...should be an interesting dynamic between them.

Oh, and Surgery, is your characer by any chance somewhat based on Cathy Ames from East of Eden? I just had to read that for school.

Ooh, I think I'd like to join as a teacher. Here's my profile.

Teacher profile
Name: Neferetta Sadik
Age: 33
Race: Werewolf
Class: Dark Arts
Appearance: Image
She stands at about 5'8" and has a slim build.
Personality: Neferetta is probably the last thing ou'd think of when you imagine a werewolf: her cold, composed demeanor and the perpetual air of calmness she imposes on her surroundings is much closer to the stereotype of a vampire, just like her appearance and figure. Distant and aloof, she is a difficult person to second-guess: for all everyone else knows, her intentions could be noble or sinister. She believes in all sorts of ancient magic and mystical creatures thought to be myth by even the most superstitious of wizards in this day and age.
Biography: Neferetta's parents were both werewolves. Her mother was experimenting with various potions for the duration of her pregnancy, so Neferetta was born addicted. Seen as a weakness and liability to the pack, she was abandoned at birth and raised by a human scientist with expertise in the Dark Arts. Though it seemed like he meant well to an outsider, working to cure lycanthropy with his young ward's help, what actually went on in his house was horrible beyond belief. He'd lost his wife in an accident a few years prior, but he never remarried, and when Neferetta was old enough, he used her as her wife. At first, she thought it was normal, but as she was exposed to society and realized that it was wrong, he used illegal Dark magic on her to shut her up and keep her compliant. When she was 16, she ran away from home, effectively abandoning her past and starting new. She changed her last name from McClaren, the scientist's name, to Sadik, the same surname as a well-known Dark sorcerer, and erased all records of herself under her previous surname. Free of the torment of her abusive father, her grades went from failing to stellar, and, with a lot of ambition, she managed to rise up to the position of Dark Arts professor.

Professor Sadik now occasionally takes on proteges to mentor privately. It's not clear whether she really wants to help them reach their full potential, or if she's using them for her own hidden plot.
Skills: Due to her being exposed to the Dark Arts at an early age, she has acquired a mastery of her. Also, she has learned to transform at will, though she still must transform on the full moon.
Strengths: Intelligent, effective, efficient
Weaknesses: Unapproachable, intimidating

Student profile:
Name: Jourumun Ginsda
Age:17
Race:Half Demon
Appearance:http://yamer.deviantart.com/art/Demon-within-22612599 thats what i look like, couldn't figure out how to put the picture in this spot.
Personality: Jourumun is a very silent person. His value for other lives doesn't matter much. He doesn't like help and he doesn't ask for it, but if asked he will most surely accept or help someone with something. He doesn't like being controlled, command or mind control otherwise so he uses a mental block. When threatoned, he strikes back so be aware.
Biography:Jourumun was the offspring to a Great female demon, one with enough power to enslave mankind with a simple wish. The father was something a bit more humanish, a vampire. After she was impregnated, she engulfed the vampire. After his birth he was given a name and than thrown into the human realm where he was found by a human family. They were scared at first from the fact that he had the wings of an angel but they couldn't just leave a baby on the side of a road. At an early age he was found to be blind but that never hindered him. At the proper age he was sent to the School of Shadows for fear of what he would do with his power.
Skills: His uucanny nack to find things has led his skill into the range of a ranger. If you need something found, he can probably find it. Another thing is that with wings comes the ability to fly. He can tuck them in real tight so they don't get in the way.
Weaknesses:Heavy smells like ink and perfume render him dizzy and sometimes unmovable. Particular huminoid smells. They can attract him.
You have no power over me...
