It's a nice feeling you get, when people you know support you in a justified argument.
Thanks.

You actually don't have to do that, if you decide to severely limit those powers and only keep several wanted abilities which made the ability so darn appealing to you.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that, but... okay.

Likewise, the transferral-reincarnation thing is a once in three years thing that has disadvantages as well as advantages. It could even be manipulated against him by a knowledgeable enough adversary, which is precisely what happened in Naruto.

I am sorry, but considering that I don't watch Naruto I don't get your point here, try explaining what actually happened there.

Pity. It's kinda complicated to those who don't know Naruto, and it's also kinda a spoiler. Basically Itachi uses a certain sword to seal his soul away in a pocket dimension. That was whilst Orochimaru slightly misjudged Sasuke, and was trapped inside his body, being suppressed by Sasuke's will. Until Sasuke grew too tired whilst fighting Itachi. Essentially, a clever, strong willed individual whose body he's taken as a vessel can suppress him, whilst being able to transfer his powers and use them. And if something can effect a soul, Orochimaru's in danger. Though he did take precautions with parts of his soul being left in a bunch of other people, with those curse markers...

I've kinda botched it up slightly, but that's some of it.

You could make it simpler though, orochimaru was far from knowing this transferral-reincarnation technique when he was only 18 so you can simply drop it and just rp that you have ideas to do things like this, after all my chicks also talking bout trying not to age but can't actually do it and is affraid she may never find the answer, you'rs can talk about studying hostile body takeovers.

Well, I guess it could be one of those future abilities of his, then.
So it wouldn't quite count as an ability he currently possesses, though it should be mentioned as something he'll get, then.

In my app immortality or eternally the same age wasn't listed as a power, but it was listed in her backstory that she is fanaticly trying to learn this.

Do the same, make sure you mention the research you do during the rp once in a wile and add slight breakthroughs and eventuelly you'll get it. You have to realise, until you're 30 theres little reason of actually swapping bodies seeing you're still heading towards your prime. So that gives you 12 rp years worth of time to learn it.

I give you Arachnia, Orochi's mortal enemy

Name: Raven Tairos
House: Magna
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Appearance:

(Image)

Years in the Academy: 13
Ability: Kinetic Energy Manipulation[when it is visible it is black], Supernatural Condition, Arachnid Form/Mimicry/Physiology[legs, poison and all that], Arachnid Manipulation/Summoning, Arachnid Magic[Where she gets most of her powers from, Arachnid Magic also involves using energy to make Spider-based constructs or using webs to make Arachnid-Based constructs]
Personality: Intelligent, manipulative, cunning, secretive, logical, ruthless; these are the six things that describe Raven Tairos. She is intelligent because of her extensive education, the fact she absorbs new information quicker than most people[she has an eidetic memory]. She is manipulative because she is an expert in how people work, she almost always gets what she wants. She is cunning due to her intelligence and manipulation skills, always getting what she wants, always a step ahead, always the ultimate rival for someone. She is secretive because she has gone so far to hide her skill, because of her intelligence, manipulative skills and cunning, she is a good keeper of secrets and always has more than you would think.

She is logical because she is an expert at controlling herself and her emotions, her intelligence almost always comes first, her manipulative skills help it her with interacting with people and sometimes even 'feeling'[she is so far gone down the dark road she manipulates herself into thinking she loves someone or trusts someone or is even their friend until she actually believes it, and is torn when the time comes to abandon them but someday she might keep them as a friend, though this isn't always how it goes], her secretive style helps her with the inner emotional turmoil she goes through periodically[though these events are very few and incredibly far in between] and her cunning helps her figure out different logical approaches to various types of situations. She is ruthless because she always knows she has to get the job done, no matter the cost even if it causes her emotional harm[though there may be a point in time when she shows mercy]; her intelligence helps her navigate through ways to finish her job and get through tough situations, her manipulation skills help her get through situations as well and even manipulate herself into following the best path for herself/her career, her cunning helps her get out of situations and navigate though various ways to manipulate people, her secretive personality helps her act like it didn't happen and her logic helps her follow the most logical path and ways to get through a situation.

This is what makes Raven Tairos, well, Raven Tairos; despite her flaws and holes in her personality she is very strong and full of will though it breaks her like glass at sometimes. This is Raven Tairos, these are the fundamental, intertwining, poetic elements that make her who she is, that make up her personality, that tell you how she is going to act, that make her unique and unlike any other.
Backstory: She doesn't like to talk about it/Unknown

Here's my app, BTW!

You are really so uncreative that you had no other ideas other than to copy Sylvan Academy almost word for word. Really? That's all you did here. You took my RP gave it a new name, put it in Denmark, changed the house names, and are pretending that it is your own. I'm sorry Red but I really thought that you were above this. I guess I was wrong, goodbye. You aren't invited to the new Sylvan when it comes out.

I see.
Okay, then. Funny, cause 30 was more or less the estimate I made, too.

Here we go again:

Name: Ryu Orochimaru Kyōgoku (Replace all references to Ryu with Orochimaru)
House: Magna
Gender: Male
Age): 18
Appearance:

Years in the Academy: 1
Ability: Shadow/Darkness Manipulation, Snake control/summoning (that kinda thing), Snake/Hydra physiology (snake-monster thingy basically), Supernatural Condition.

Necromancy (though he rarely uses it, and only then usually to manipulate others, with promises of bringing back friends or loved ones so that people will do what he asks, that kinda thing).
Personality: Orochimaru possesses a complex personality, but more often than not, however, he was often described as twisted by a large number of people,though there are always those who are drawn in by his charisma, an ca be loyal and almost fanatical in the way they regard him, though he usually just uses them. It's speculated that this was due to the fact that two of his childhood friends died, one of an illness and a weak constitution, and the other in an accident, imply that Ryu grew to disdain the fragility of human life and how it affected those still living, which led him to desire immortality. To that end, the primary purpose of Ryu's human experimentation is to test what modifications the human body can endure and harness a subject's unique abilities for himself. Once accomplishing this goal, Ryu has hopes to be worthy of the title of "ultimate being", unable to die and able to achieve his secondary goal to learn every spell in the world, which would normally take many lifetimes to obtain.

Often known to be cruel, Ryu's agenda made him develop a god complex and valued himself while delighting in striking terror in his first impressions. Though causing conflict to ease his boredom, Ryu seems to have no interest in battles started by others. His charisma also attracts a number of followers, many of which he would not hesitate to send on potential suicide missions if for his own personal benefit, expressing some remorse if they're unable to properly complete a task, having no sentimental attachments to any of them despite their values. Despite this, Ryu has genuine interest in the development of his underlings and experiments.

An aspect of Ryu's personality is also his greatest weakness: his arrogance. He truly believed he is an invincible immortal at times, attacking recklessly against powerful opponents, despite not necessarily being informed as to their capabilities, and therefore not only underestimating them, but also possessing an additional factor that can contribute to his losing. Despite his distinct lack of morals, Ryu seems to be well-versed in human psychology and displays insightful wisdom when chastising the more ignorant in such things, including some who have a lack of understanding in such matters. He often shows disdain for those he believes are considerably weaker than him. He's also come to have a thing for death. Ryu has a dark and unusual sense of humour.

Basically, Orochimaru.

Backstory:
Orochimaru was born into a fairly rich family, his father from Japan, and his mother from Sweden. One of his ancestors on the Swedish side, happened to be relatively famous fortune teller, among other things. A number of his family members are occultists, including his parents and siblings. Much of his family had already had an obsession with mystical, and occult things- also having been initiated into certain forms of paganism, so it was not hard to make the decision for him delve into the things he did, including darker magick. Even from his childhood days Ryu was identified as a genius in whatever it was that he took to doing, and a once-in-a-generation prodigy. He is surprisingly knowledgeable about a considerable number of things, primarily of occult and historical nature. Some of the reasons being that he desired more knowledge and power. His fascination with conflict also leant him a proficiency with some weapons as soon as he as able to delve into that kind of area. Ryu has also managed to become adept in certain martial arts due to lessons he took tempered with some experience. He is also fairly good at drawing and playing several instruments, including guitar, drums, piano, the shakuhachi flute, wadaiko, koto and accordion, among others. He's also omni-lingual, speaking a number of languages, like Japanese, Swedish, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Greek, as well as a few others.

Ryu has been through all kinds of little adventures despite his relatively young age, and many of them, strange or less so, are too numerous to list here. Now, he seems to be doing fairly well in life, and has attained somewhat of a reputation, mainly for his good looks and outwardly charming nature, though he was shunned by those who knew what he was really like, and plans certain things to reach his own aims. Many people saw him differently, and this contributed to his becoming detached from mot other people. The deaths of two of his friends also contributed, as well as that of a relative of his. Despite having a fairly prestigious family, some elements of his childhood weren't so easy, and to put it simply; things were quite complicated. Among other things, there were always those who were jealous of his lineage, as well as those who treated him differently because of his unusual eyes. He regularly listens to bands like Therion, Nightwish, HeavensDust, X Japan, Dir En Grey, and various others. He is in several organisations such as The Order of the Green Dragon, Dragon Rouge, Ordo Templi Orientis, Illuminates of Thanateros, TOPY , the Temple of Set, and OSOGD. He doesn't consider himself an advanced student, but has studied Aikido, Wing Chun, Jujitsu, Kali, Savate, Krav Maga, Tae Kwan Do, Judo, Boxing, and Shaolin Kung Fu, over time, and so he isn't completely helpless when it comes to self defence, though he isn't a master of unarmed combat, either. His older cousin is in the Särskilda Operationsgruppen (Special Operations Task Group, SOG), of the Swedish Armed Forces, and taught him a few things when it came to certain military matters, in the odd time or two he came over from Sweden to Japan.

He has travelled to various parts of the world, and despite some of the less profitable experiences, he has gathered some knowledge in fighting. Once, he encountered a group of terrorists, whilst on Yonaguni, a Japanese island in the Pacific Ocean, in case ya didn't know. It was during the fight that took place there that some of his magical potential was noted by certain people in an occult division Japanese military, and he found himself under a fair amount of scrutiny, especially regarding some previous events which he has vaguely hinted at having a hand in, regarding a large number of mysterious disappearances and deaths in some parts of Japan. Though these were due to his ol' villain quest for power and immortality, with experiments upon those he kidnapped being fairly nasty. His rather intelligent mind insured that he has facilities, hideout and that kinda thing in various parts of the world, and he always worked things out so that his secrecy was maintained, and he wasn't discovered. He also experimented on his own body, to the extent that his true form is big, serpentine and creepy. Among his research into immortality, he has found certain curse seals, another part of the deal, that he is developing. In regards to the markers, each cursed seal contains a portion of Orochimaru's consciousness, which allows him to share the senses of those who bear his seals. In the event that he is killed or sealed, he can be revived through one of his cursed seals if an individual presses flesh containing his DNA up to the cursed seal and uses the Evil Releasing Method. Through this process, Orochimaru can be completely resurrected any number of times, as long as there are enough remaining cursed seals and pieces of his DNA. Both techniques have yet to be mastered, naturally. It's years till they'll be perfected, so he has to watch out in the meantime. Recently, after a visit to Sweden, the potential that could be gained in Momentum Academy was revealed to him/insert plot reason here, and he travelled down to Denmark, quickly finding himself there. Some people seem to find him a bit creepy at times, so the way others view him is often a mixed bag. One thing he definitely isn't regarded as, however, is a nobody. Among other oddities, his unusual eyes alone can mark him out.

Excellent.

[The Ferret Revolution]

Oh and Red in case it wasn't made clear in my earlier posts, you aren't welcome in ANY of my future RPs.

[Videssos]

Y'know one of those societies I mentioned in my character's bio?
The Order of the Green Dragons sounds pretty cool.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

You are really so uncreative that you had no other ideas other than to copy Sylvan Academy almost word for word. Really? That's all you did here. You took my RP gave it a new name, put it in Denmark, changed the house names, and are pretending that it is your own. I'm sorry Red but I really thought that you were above this. I guess I was wrong, goodbye. You aren't invited to the new Sylvan when it comes out.

And you really have to come and criticize it here?

If anything, make a thread about it so we can all have a proper discussion about what is bothering you.

[Landenburg]

I thought you were a better person than this.

You stole this RP and are no better than a common theif.


This is nearly word for word Sylvan.

[Constaniana]

Just something I noticed in the OP that I thought should be pointed out; why is chemistry separated from the rest of science in the qualifications for being in house Aurea? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a subject like history be required, since chemistry would be included with science?

[Darmadewa]

Ok, who else in Techno house? I want to greet your char and invite them to the welcoming party.

OH NO! SHE IS MAKING AN RP LIKE OURS!

Please, it's not like this RP style is copyrighted under RIAA laws and with DRM protections.

Everything in a public forum, and by definition I mean EVERYTHING, is fair use, so stop complaining.

And yes, you guys know I am all for fairness and for having a fun time, but really, this is becoming childish.

[Darmadewa]

Is there a problem with this RP?

[Soldati Senza Confini]

Is there a problem with this RP?

Well, no, except for the fact that Red, Novia, and I were part of a similar RP to this one: Sylvan Academy. Red apparently took the idea and ran with it and is mixing it with other RPs, however some people are complaining and shaming her for it, and I think it's childish.

Shaming a person for having an idea similar doesn't make the people who are the creators right, it just makes them dicks.

Is that so? This is just an RP, a place for story and plot. To have fun with your own character and imagination. Well, I can understand if someone stole others ideas but still it's for fun.
