The southern area of the temperate zone, so generally warm but not tropical. Like the American South.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Name: Samantha Schwarzenberg of Schattenstadt
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Appearance: Standing at an unimpressive five feet and three inches tall, Sam has a slender build, her thin frame and pale skin giving her a frail, delicate look. She has a sharp face, with thin lips and eyebrows, a small nose and a pair of eyes the color of the ocean. Her wavy black hair barely reaches down to her shoulders, with her bangs framing her face and falling between her eyes.
Personality: Samantha is hard-working, inquisitive and dedicated to her studies, both to sate her endless curiosity and to earn her father's approval. In interacting with others, she is friendly and polite, and attempts to maintain a facade of magnanimity and cool confidence, but in truth is rather humble and easily intimidated. Spends most of her time practicing her abilities or reading (either academic texts or fiction), but also has a soft spot for music and dance.
Life Goal: To restore the name of House Schwarzenberg and use it to aid the peasantry.
Favored Element: Air
Elements Known: Air, Wood, Light
Degree Pursuing: Psychotheurgy

Const, I went ahead and made Sam a friend of Jacky's, didn't think it was too far fetched since they've been in the same class for a couple months if you have an issue with that I'll be happy to change it, though.

Sound manipulation is an advanced aerokinesis technique, and your character is still a novice. Practicing in the hall is fine, but you're not yet capable of practical application.

My bad. I was under the impression that that sort of technique was normally attained before manipulation of hyper-elements, but I understand. I'll edit.

The hyper-elements may be derived from the proto-elements, but it's not a progression or upgrade. One requires a base understanding of air to learn light, but they are still separate skills that require individual practice and learning. Just because you know light, it doesn't mean you've mastered air.

Unacceptable; Jacky spends all his time training with the katana, playing Minecraft, and eating chicken tenders. He has no space in life for females.

As she examined the text, Tripetta noticed that the letters were made with straight lines and sharp angles. There were no rounded or curved lines anywhere. The letters were also quite complex individually with few repetitions among the entire text. The words were short, usually only two to four letters long, and a few were just one letter.

The abilities of the elements are now divided into specific ranks, making it clearer what everyone can do. There are five ranks. You start at rank 2 for your favored element and rank 1 for the others. So go see what your character can do now. Since this wasn't defined when you all made your characters, if anyone would like to alter their favored/known elements, make a post telling me what you'd like to switch to.

Futhark Runes? Not that Tripetta would know things from our world.

Looks good, I'll keep my elements but good work there.
I'll admit, I didn't expect flight to come earlier than sound manipulation, but eh, it's magic
