About the School

---

St. Peadrus MacCallion High School, mostly recognized as St. Peadrus, is a private secondary educational institution situated in Grangemouth in the Dalmashiel Region. It was founded in 1842 by Dominican friars Sìoltach McNiel, Wallace Duncan, and Alasdair Bardon. Named after the 17th Century Roman Catholic Folaisian saint who was of the friars' order, interacted with the native populations, established monasteries and the first educational institution in the New World, and performed hundreds of conversions, the school was established with the purpose of giving youth the means of a Catholic education in a Dominican fashion and by following the saint's example. At first, it was established for males of European origin, but overtime, it gradually accepted females and students of non-European origin. Moreover, as religious standards became increasingly lax, the school accepted those of non-Catholic faith. Furthermore, because of it. Today, it remains one of the best secondary educational institutions in the nation, open to any of those willing to attend.

[The Selkie]

Good morning, Folaisia,
I would be very interested in this one and I already have someone in mind...

Name:

Amy Laoch of the Tribe of Dundalk.

Nation of Origin:

The Free Lands of the Selkie.

Age:

17 Springs (born in 2002).

Gender:

Female.

Religion/Faith:

Selkie-Paganism, especially associates herself with the Cult of Ladra.

School of Origin:

Roth High School of Bodmin.

Current Year:

Year 2 of High School.

Background:

Amy was born in 2002 in Bodmin as the daughter of two craftspeople, her father being a carpenter and her mother being a woodworker, who retired to take care of the small and growing family. Amy is the middle-child, an older brother being born in 2000 and a younger brother in 2005. Persistent rumours in Bodmin state, that her younger brother is only her half-brother, but she doesn't care much about these rumours.
In 2008, Amy began her educational career. She was a good student back then and is to this day, but she protrudes in no subject, slightly above average in everything thrown at her. In 2013, she began Middle School, where she got better and better in sports and artistic subject, enjoying especially music and swordfighting. Her father signed her up for a professional trainer in 2014, who began teaching her more and more, finding talent with her, mostly as a Sworddancer.
In 2017 and 2018, she was part of the Archipelago Shooting of Bicíní Industries. After the latter, she participated in the Beach Party hosted by their bosses, which was also attended by Celina Treoraí of the Tribe of Louth and her boyfriend Chris Riescheid. There, she got to know Dragan Bandera, who's girlfriend she became. In the 2018 Archipelago Shooting, she not only wore swimsuits, but was also permitted to make a test shooting for the lingerie catalogue, a few pictures going into the final catalogue.
In 2018, she also joined the Roth High School of Bodmin and their Crossbow Gals. She was more of a swordfighter, though.
Later that year, Amy began a career as an actress, being one of the younger talents in Flight on the Seven Wings, a movie about Selkie-Mercenaries in Services of the Ilkhan of Utica during the Third Kyrenaian Civil War, in 1614, shortly after the Siege of Utica came to an end.
In early 2019, she and Macha Taise visited Lillorainen. From Mid-2018 to Mid-2019, she was in a stable long-distance relationship with the Lillorainian Dragan Badera. The two of them lived apart and separated on good terms.

Reason(s) to Attend:

To broaden the own horizon and to see strange new lands and new civilizations - and to boldly go, where no Selkie has gone before.

Chosen Classes and Periods (Free Periods Optional):

1. Period 1: World History.
2. Period 2: Folaisian Literature.
3. Period 3: Folaisian History.
4. Period 4: Music Appreciation.
5. Period 5: Creative Writing.
6. Period 6: Conflicts in the Modern World.
7. Period 7: Physical Education.

Health Issue(s):

I hope, that I did the Chosen Classes and Periods right...

What you want is someone training to be a crusader knight from Velstrania isn't it? That's what anyone would want.

Just as long as he doesn't take his sword on the non-Christian populace, which would incentivize the faculty to suspend him and send him on a pilgrimage from Nicaea to Jerusalem on foot.

[Shamsiyya]

Good evening, Folaisia,
Count me interested! One little question beforehand - is there a one-character-per-player cap, or can I apply for two as well? Might be good to know before I write the second one I'm planning and it turns out to be for nothing at the end of the day ... (before anyone starts worrying - the second one is planned to take entirely different courses than the first one, so I wouldn't block slots in singular periods, in case.)
Thank you in advance!

[Shamsiyya]

... and there we go! I hope I didn't mess the periods up, either (a nice system you've made up there, by the way, good job!). ^^

(Side note: If the system of creating one character as a foil to another one looks familiar to anyone, especially in school exchanges, this is totally by coindidence.)

Name:
Tabitha Maraoui.

Nation of Origin:
The Federal Republic of Shamsiyya (but born in the Sultanate of Kashira).

Age:
17.

Gender:
Female.

Religion/Faith:
The Cult of the Children of the Sun (basically His Cult).

School of Origin:
Ouadi Almuluk High School, Junaira.

Current Year:
Year 11 (Year 3 in High School).

Background:

Tabitha Maraoui was born in Kandaka, Sultanate of Kashira, on June 27, 2002, as the daughter of a soldier (Royal Kashiri Army, 3rd Infantry Regiment, rank Lieutenant) and a nurse. She, as well as her older brother Hassan (born 1997), grew up in an average residential district of Kandaka - Tabitha attended an elementary school there. When Lt. Maraoui was ordered to fight political unrests in the Emirate of Ramaliha in 2010 (part of the Kashiri Civil War), he returned in a wooden box; this, and the further ongoings in some areas of Kashira, Tabitha's mother decided to move and take her children back to her actual home country, the FR Shamsiyya. While Hassan finished High School in 2015 and, after serving in the SFDF-Army for a few months, until he went back to Kandaka as a guard of the Shamsiyyan embassy, Tabitha stayed in Junaira.
She is an overall good student; while her preferences are subjects like History, Literature, and Languages, where she excels, she isn't particularly bad at others, either. Her GPA in last term was 9.1 (Shamsiyya uses a system of points, with 0 being the worst and 10 being the best grade). She is also doing well at PE (aka "being sent through dirt and dust in various ways by Militia Commanders").
She is on a first-name basis with Layla Murashiniq, whom she met for the first time in late 2018 during her linguistic studies, supporting her work by supplying samples of her native, Kashiri dialect.

Seeing new lands, broadening her horizon, and kicking crusader knights in the knee meeting new, nice people to experience foreign cultures.

Nermin Yassiri was born on December 18, 2002, in Ninaoua, Canton of Muratiniyya-Rukya. With both her parents in business, her father running a mining company, her mother an IT company, it's hardly a surprise, that she grew up with a sense for mathematics and love for complex machines from a very early age - which could also be guessed from her grades throughout her entire school career up to this point, with math, sciences, and IT Application being subjects she never had been worse than 8/10 points at. Zeroes and Ones have always been an essential part of her life, even more so after a visit to the Free City of Wiedheim, "An El Dorado for IT nerds like me", according to her own statement, in 2017. This also made her sensible for and interested in foreign cultures.
Aside from programming and "turning the house into a server room", according to her parents, she also can ride both horses and camels, and does so with quite a lot of passion.

[Folaisia]

Thank you very much - I look forward to it!
Though, I do hope, that you don't expect us to write actual tests... ; )

You're welcome! As for your concern, tests, no, but quizzes, yes, but they'll be short. I'll guarantee you that.

... and there we go! I hope I didn't mess the periods up, either (a nice system you've made up there, by the way, good job!). ^^

(Side note: If the system of creating one character as a foil to another one looks familiar to anyone, especially in school exchanges, this is totally by coindidence.)

Name:
Tabitha Maraoui.

Nation of Origin:
The Federal Republic of Shamsiyya (but born in the Sultanate of Kashira).

Age:
17.

Gender:
Female.

Religion/Faith:
The Cult of the Children of the Sun (basically His Cult).

School of Origin:
Ouadi Almuluk High School, Junaira.

Current Year:
Year 11 (Year 3 in High School).

Background:

Tabitha Maraoui was born in Kandaka, Sultanate of Kashira, on June 27, 2002, as the daughter of a soldier (Royal Kashiri Army, 3rd Infantry Regiment, rank Lieutenant) and a nurse. She, as well as her older brother Hassan (born 1997), grew up in an average residential district of Kandaka - Tabitha attended an elementary school there. When Lt. Maraoui was ordered to fight political unrests in the Emirate of Ramaliha in 2010 (part of the Kashiri Civil War), he returned in a wooden box; this, and the further ongoings in some areas of Kashira, Tabitha's mother decided to move and take her children back to her actual home country, the FR Shamsiyya. While Hassan finished High School in 2015 and, after serving in the SFDF-Army for a few months, until he went back to Kandaka as a guard of the Shamsiyyan embassy, Tabitha stayed in Junaira.
She is an overall good student; while her preferences are subjects like History, Literature, and Languages, where she excels, she isn't particularly bad at others, either. Her GPA in last term was 9.1 (Shamsiyya uses a system of points, with 0 being the worst and 10 being the best grade). She is also doing well at PE (aka "being sent through dirt and dust in various ways by Militia Commanders").
She is on a first-name basis with Layla Murashiniq, whom she met for the first time in late 2018 during her linguistic studies, supporting her work by supplying samples of her native, Kashiri dialect.

Reason(s) to Attend:
Seeing new lands, broadening her horizon, and kicking crusader knights in the knee meeting new, nice people to experience foreign cultures.

1. World History.
2. Psychology.
3. Folaisian History.
4. Creative Writing.
5. Folaisian Literature.

Name:
Nermin Yassiri.

Nation of Origin:
The Federal Republic of Shamsiyya.

Age:
16.

Gender:
Female.

Religion/Faith:
The Cult of the Children of the Sun.

School of Origin:
Uzunsahil High School, Ninaoua.

Current Year:
Year 10 (Year 1 in High School).

Background:

Nermin Yassiri was born on December 18, 2002, in Ninaoua, Canton of Muratiniyya-Rukya. With both her parents in business, her father running a mining company, her mother an IT company, it's hardly a surprise, that she grew up with a sense for mathematics and love for complex machines from a very early age - which could also be guessed from her grades throughout her entire school career up to this point, with math, sciences, and IT Application being subjects she never had been worse than 8/10 points at. Zeroes and Ones have always been an essential part of her life, even more so after a visit to the Free City of Wiedheim, "An El Dorado for IT nerds like me", according to her own statement, in 2017. This also made her sensible for and interested in foreign cultures.
Aside from programming and "turning the house into a server room", according to her parents, she also can ride both horses and camels, and does so with quite a lot of passion.

Reason(s) to Attend:
Experiencing and learning about foreign cultures; besides, a school exchange doesn't make itself bad in the curriculum vitae, eh?

Chosen Classes and Periods (Free Periods Optional):

1. Computer Science.
2. Calculus.
3. Physical Education.
4. Biology.
5. Geometry.
6. Astronomy.
7. Data Structures and Algorithms.

Health Issue(s):
None.

Thank you! Glad to have them both here. However, for Yassiri, if she's taking Data Structures and Algorithms, that should mean she's already passed Computer Science. Same goes for Calculus alongside Geometry.

Nonetheless, they're both ACCEPTED

Is a photograph mandatory?

Can you elaborate on his elite background? You can put that there.

And yes, a photograph's mandatory.

Thanks a lot! So if one is required to take the other (I wasn't aware of that, but it does sound logical), does this mean, that it's impossible to take both courses (per case) parallel? In that case, I would need to change the chosen periods, of course.

[The Selkie]

You're welcome! As for your concern, tests, no, but quizzes, yes, but they'll be short. I'll guarantee you that.

Puh... that sounds fun. Another one: World History. Does that subject include a bit of the history of the respective participants' homelands - maybe even in the form of presentations given by the students?

That's right. Per Case.

There's always the choice of free periods if you want.

And now that you've elaborated your concern, I'll make a list of prerequisites for classes.

Puh... that sounds fun. Another one: World History. Does that subject include a bit of the history of the respective participants' homelands - maybe even in the form of presentations given by the students?

Actually, I've been thinking. There will be no quizzes. Does that sound good to you?

As for your question, sure! You're welcome to include that history.

Alright, added one.

I'll add a background too.

That'd be awesome! Both the no-tests and the presentations... ; )
So, last one for now, this one specifically concerning Amy: She practices sworddancing and would hate to let that rest for a year. Would she be allowed to bring her swords with her?

As long as she shows proof of license for her sword, it's fine.

That can be arranged. And swords, plural, two in fact - Kyrenaian Type 3-C Sabres.

[Munkcestrian Republic]

His father was a working-class mining engineer who managed to become very successful through hard work and because his wife is the daughter of an already very successful engineer which gave Edward the ability to have a very comfortable life indeed. His father is an acquaintance of Lord President George Fenwick which resulted in him meeting George Fenwick II. Despite Edward being younger than George Fenwick II by a good few years, the two became great friends.
