Crisis of Petwora: A New Dawn

There are no such things as monsters. One thing that we are all told as children by our parents. No monsters under the bed, or hiding in the closet. Just our imagination. Of course you probably have figured out what I am going to say next. All those monsters that we were told aren't real, well... they are real. Now of course the next question is naturally, well what about legends and myths? Logically with monsters being real, so are myths and legends right? Yes and no. Some legends are true to the letter, but some have been exaggerated.

Of course, another question might be raised, how would I know this? What proof is there to support my claim? To answer these, first you need a little history. In ancient times, the world of men and the supernatural was intertwined, but over time the two worlds separated. Human looked towards more "logical" answers to the world, and as such the world of the supernatural became more and more myth. But there always remained a small number of humans that kept connected to both the worlds. The majority of these humans are magically gifted, simply referred to as mages. More about mages later.

However, the world of humans and the supernatural did collide in recent history, all due to the actions of one mage, Ayla Zwahlen. In 1901, Ayla would cause a certain type of event known in the supernatural world as a Time-Break. This event would become known as the Liechtenstein Incident after the fact. To this day, because of the Time-Break not much is known about what exactly happened, but a few things of importance are still known. All that is known boils down to one fact, this incident was responsible for the reshaping of the supernatural world and to some extent, the world of humans.

The Liechtenstein Incident called for the Grand Council, the Shadow Court, the Church and the world's superpowers at the time to set aside their differences and unite against Ayla Zwahlen. When the incident was finished, a new organization stood bridging the world of humans and the world of the supernatural. This organization was called, the International Ministry of Supernatural Affairs or just I.M.O.S.A. However over time, knowledge of the supernatural world return to a similar level as it was prior to the Liechtenstein Incident.

This lost of knowledge would lead to less funding for I.M.O.S.A, which would drive them to the edge of disbanding. But, just when they reached what looked like the end, the world called for their aid. The Axis had delved into the supernatural, and the leaders of the Allied nations rediscovered I.M.O.S.A. When the war ended and the UN was founded, I.M.O.S.A thought that they would just fade away again. But that wasn't the case.

I.M.O.S.A would not fade into the shadows, as its effect on the world was to great to cover up after the Second World War. So, instead of stepping back into the shadows, the world of the supernatural became more well known across the world, and I.M.O.S.A was there to protect the two worlds from each other. Of course, there was challenges, as humans feared the supernatural, and from that fear came prejudice and hate. This would eventually build up until the world was on the edge of a war between humans and the supernatural. I.M.O.S.A had one chance to strike a peace between the worlds before blood was shed.

And so they did. Six islands where constructed using magitech. These islands were created as a place where the supernatural could live in peace. Alongside the islands, two more things where done, I.M.O.S.A devoted resources to educating the next generation of humans across the world about the supernatural world in hopes that the next generation would be able to accept the supernatural. The other thing was that they begun gathering more agents, in order to keep the peace.

But where could they get more agents? The answer to that question is more simple than you think. The six islands where not just a place for the supernatural to live without a worry about the human world, they were also home to the six I.M.O.S.A Academies. These academies were created with two purposes in mind, to educate the children of the supernatural world, and to train possible future recruits. Other schools were created on the islands to fulfil the first purpose over time, and the I.M.O.S.A Academies became specialized for the purpose of training future agents of I.M.O.S.A.

The year is 2052, and the time of year, autumn, just before the start of the new school year. I.M.O.S.A has funding from nations all around the Earth, and operates almost everywhere. The academies each are in operation, training new agents, but some are more effective than others. Petwora has a reputation of being the worst of the six Academies, and as such, trouble students from the other Academies are usually transferred to Petwora. The Academies are known to be fiercely competitive with each other, and as such, a hierarchy has been developed. Petwora faces a possible crisis this year, that being the possible loss of funding from the North American nations. The only way they can avoid the crisis is by out performing at least one other Academy...

This is the year. Petwora either will fall, or rise. Either way, a new age is dawning...

IMOSA Principles
1. Protect Mankind from the Supernatural
2. Protect the Supernatural from Mankind
3. Protect the Supernatural from the Supernatural

This RP should be familiar to anyone who was in any of my RPs that take place in the Petwora-verse (which has been changed so many times by this point). You will be a student, and I will say this, don't worry about the school side of this RP, as most of this RP will focus on other aspects of being a student at the Petwora Academy. There will however be some classes shown, but only when they support the story arch.

RULES
1. NO Godmodding, and stuff like that
2. My word is law, and when I am not online, my Co-OP's word is law.
3. There is a difference however between Immortality and Invulnerability/Invincibility (of course it can be debated, but this is my thread and this is the stance I take). To put it as simple as possible... Immortal = No Death by Age, Invulnerable/Invincible = Only Death by Age. So, invulnerable/invincible beings are a no, as your characters can be injured and can die.
4. No Overpowered characters. Note, my characters may come off as OP, but remember, I am the OP, and there is always reasoning behind why they are so strong. Just remember, fair does not mean equal, so no complaining.
5. Be a voice of reason, not a control freak. Control freaks will be banished in the blink of an eye.
6. All disputes between people will be kept out of the OOC, settle them via TG.
7. No starting with powerful artifacts.
8. READ THE LORE PROVIDED BEFORE MAKING APP OR ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT LORE (Supernatural races aren't talked about in depth, so ask away on that topic)
9. Inform everyone if you are to be absent for an extended period of time through the OOC
10. If you want to make a character connected to any of the Eight families, run the idea through me first
11. Three Strikes and you're out, unless you really mess up.

On Magic

Magic really depends on what a being is. There are some beings that have higher magical affinity and others have lower magical affinity or even no magical affinity. For example, a Therianthrope (were creatures like a werewolf) has no magical affinity, while Djiin have the highest general magical affinity (excluding gods and god-like beings). Humans in general have a low magical affinity, due to neglecting it for many hundreds of years, leading to the majority of humans not even believing in the existence of magic. Their affinity has been increasing due to the rediscovery of magic in the last few decades. It is also worth mentioning that humans that do have a high enough magical affinity (naturally or through magical affinity raising trinkets) only have access to very limited magic, and fit into one of the Eight Human Magic Arts. Beings with higher magical affinity are capable of doing things that do and do not fit into the Eight Human Magic Arts. This leads to many different magic arts that are often unique to the type of being.

The Eight Human Magic Arts
*Not restricted to Human only

The Spirit Arts are magic that is heavily based in the making of deals/contracts/pacts, the building of relationships and strength of one's own soul. The Spirit Arts are considered one of the most powerful of the magic arts and one of the hardest to master or even use. The Spirit Arts revolve around the souls or spirits of the dead and the summoning of them to aid the user in battle. The two most common uses of the Spirit Arts is necromancy and the summoning of Legendary Spirits. Legendary Spirits are the spirits of great historical or human mythological heroes and villains from throughout history. However, due to the fact that necromancy is seen as taboo, the later of the most common form of the Spirit Arts is more prominent.

Summoning a Legendary Spirit of the past/legend is a tricky thing, as there are many factors involved, that is with summoning a Legendary Spirit for the first time. A first summon of a Legendary Spirit requires quite a lot of magic power depending on the Legendary Spirit. Generally, the more powerful they were, the older they are and the greater the mark they made on history determines how hard they will be to summon, for example summoning Charlemagne will require more magic than summoning Jeanne d'Arc. Also, the harder to summon a Legendary Spirit is, the more powerful they are. It is possible to lessen the magic power requirements for a summon however. This can be done by using a relic or catalyst associated with them, and/or summoning them where they were born, where they died and/or where they were buried. Another short cut is using human sacrifices, but this is highly frowned upon. Using these shortcuts are not required and can only be used for the first summon. It is also worth mentioning that each Legendary Spirit that is summoned either has access to their own magic, and/or spiritual versions of their legendary weapons.

During the first summoning, and any summoning after, not only is magic power required but three other things are needed. The first thing other than magic power is blood of the Mage doing the summoning, usually letting it drip on the ground is fine, but if using a relic the blood must drop onto the relic. The second thing is a specific incantation, which always points to the Legendary Spirits deeds and claim to fame or infamy, while the Legendary Spirit can also be named during the incantation but that is not required. An example of an incantation would be "Child of the gods, born of Alcmene, redemption for thy sins through 12, thy legend lives on. Heed my call and prove thy legend.", this one specifically would be able to summon the high level spirit, Hercules/Heracles, who is already contracted with someone. I believe now is an appropriate time to mention that a Legendary Spirit can only be summoned by one Spirit Art user, but a Spirit Art user can have up to three Legendary Spirits summonable. Finally the third thing required is a strong enough soul. If a Spirit Art user has a broken, damaged or weakened soul then they will be limited to what spirits they can make a deal with, as if they try making a deal with a spirit who is stronger than their own soul many disastrous consequences can be expected.

Other Magic Arts
*Not everything, stuff can be added over time

There are many more possible Magic Arts that depend on the being, if you want a certain Art for a certain being, make a description of it, and talk to me about it.

Notable Things

The Enigma of the Black Sun is a magic book that is currently believed to have been destroyed in the Liechtenstein Incident. Not much is known about the book, but what is known is quite disturbing. The book was said to have been written by an ancient Greek mage named Lykon who lived most his life in the great city of Alexandria during the time of the late years of the Ptolemaic Kingdom. It has been said that Lykon was originally one of the most respected of the mages that lived at the time, that was until he started to look into an ancient magic symbol, the Black Sun. The more he looked into it, the more he changed. He suffered horrible nightmares, and slowly fell into a deep madness. The mages of the Ptolemaic Kingdom attempted to convince him to abandon his research, but to no avail.

After that is when things got worse, Lykon became more prone to violence, and much more dangerous. At the same time, children had started to go missing. They attempted to lock him up to try up convinced that he just needed to be separated from his work. But by time they moved to imprison him, it was too late. The missing children were found, dead, with their skin removed from their bodies, and arranged in a way that suggested some sort of ritual. In the centre they found Lykon, barely alive and clutching to the a strange book. When they asked what happened, Lykon told them in detail what he did with a smile. He had removed their skin to make pages for his book, and using their blood and his own wrote the secrets of the Black Sun, and then when the book was finished preformed a final ritual to use his own soul to protect the book so that only the worthy would ever be able to read it. He died shortly after, laughing all the way.

From that point on, any who attempted to read the book wound up dead some way or another, leading the Enigma of the Black Sun to be known as a forbidden text, and locked away in the Lord’s Vault in an attempt to keep it from ever being read. Of course, that didn’t work and it eventually found its way into the hands of Ayla Zwahlen, who did not die after reading it, but instead fell into madness much like Lykon. The last time The Enigma of the Black Sun was seen was before the Lichtenstein Incident.

Factions/Organizations

The Eight

The Eight refers to the Eight most powerful and oldest Mage families. Each family has existed since the birth of magic in our world and were all originally taught by the First Mage. Each one established itself in its own area of the world and each family specializes in a specific magic art. Each family also has a specific family crest, sigil or coat of arms that each member carries on them in some way.

House Marmara is by far the richest and appear to be the largest of the Eight families. However, appearance can be deceiving. In actuality, House Marmara is fairly average in size, that is if you don't count all their homunculi. Only when the homunculi are counted as well do they become the largest. House Marmara has spent all of history on the island of Malta, no matter who occupied it, and through all those years they have done whatever they could to make money. Creating homunculi for the purpose of being sold as slaves or even as human sacrifices. They sold magic weapons and golems to both the Carthaginians and the Romans during the Punic Wars in order to keep the conflict active, so that they could create more and sell more. House Marmara rarely chooses a side during a conflict, given them a reputation in the Eight families as the people who’d shake your hand while stabbing you in the back. There are in fact only four times when House Marmara has taken a side. The first was them siding with the Venetians and providing them the tools needed to sack Constantinople. The second time was providing the Ottomans with equipment, and golems for the purpose of destroying the Byzantine Empire. The third time was when the Ottomans attempted to take Malta from the Knights and House Marmara, it is obvious that they assisted the Knights then. And finally, during WW2, House Marmara sided with the Axis powers, more specifically, the Nazi Party. Why they sided with the Nazi Party is a mystery which’s truth is only known by House Marmara, and whenever they are questioned about it, they simply say it was a mistake. But they always seem to say it with a smirk. Today, House Marmara is in the public eye, but not directly. Under their command, through specially designed homunculi, are many of the big companies of the world. As such, House Marmara not only has its primary estate on Malta, which is a fortress of a mansion, but they also have many outposts in major cities around the world. In fact, it is rumoured that the current head of state of Malta is a House Marmara Homunculus. They try to keep open business relations with the other families, but by far view House Rasputin as their closest allies and business partners, and have had the Astvaldursson Clan under a contract for a few years now. They only have one real enemy, House Hardouin. But that comes from the fact that they had never gotten along. All human members of House Marmara have a magic sigil ring with their family crest on it, while all homunculi members have the family crest burned onto their necks.

There we go. All done. Ooh, Spindle! Is Jessica coming back? Because that'd be fun. ^-^

Character App
Name: Charlotte, she had to be here
Age: 17
Race: Nephilim
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Reluctantly heterosexual
Bio: Either you already know, or I don't want to tell you. Either way, you'll get nothing out of me.
Appearance:

Magic Art(s): Holy Elemental Arts
Magic Specifics: Holy Fire Manipulation, useful in terms of healing, attacks, constructs(although she doesn't know it), et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Other Abilities: Flight, because wings wings wings, immortality, very quick and good at hiding.
Weapon(s): Unnecessary things, weapons.

RP Sample: *tilts head*
Did you read the Rules? Neverrrrrrr.

Optional Stuff:
Personality: No.
Likes: No.
Dislikes: NO.

Alignment: NO!
Theme Song: Alice magica spei, as well as Ring and the appropriate translation.

Character App
Name: Marielle Hardouin
Age: 16. Physically. Mentally, it's another story entirely.
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Huh? What?
Bio: She grew up with her family, and was close with all of them, especially her beloved older brother. She was always the quiet sort, but friendly and warm once you got to know her. Her father's disappearance hit her hard, though she had her mother and brother to help ease the pain somewhat, and eventually her studies at Naliara... although like her brother's time there, her own didn't last long. In fact, it was even shorter. She skipped a year of school, and then the pair transferred to Petwora, with her and her brother seeming to be even closer than before, and herself carrying... a doll?
Appearance:

Magic Art(s): Spirit Arts
Magic Specifics: Legendary Spirit summoning, like the rest of her family. Marielle is currently contracted with Cassandra. Although not nearly as powerful as Hercules, Cassandra is fearsome in her own right. Her main ability is still that of prophecy, enabling her to shield from or warn Marielle of coming danger. She is also able to induce madness through the use of powerful illusions, although those with strong enough minds and wills can resist this.

Cassandra, mad to all but the gods, whose fate was cruel and vengeance crueler. Grant me your favor, and answer my cry.

For a time, Marielle's contract was not with Cassandra, but with Joan of Arc. However, that contract is no longer valid.
Other Abilities: Her skills are along the same lines as Eloi's, though shown much less often.
Weapon(s): Weapons? She doesn't carry weapons. That would be awful.

RP Sample: ...
Did you read the Rules? Yeah, yeah.

Optional Stuff:
Personality: ...Special?
Likes: Her family, and her doll, and actually a lot of things and a lot of people
Dislikes: ...She doesn't like to talk about that. Who does?

Alignment: Lawful Good?
Theme Song: Sweet Home, and 'The Cat with Braided Hair', translation here, just ignore the part about the cat. Which shows up only once, despite the song literally being named after it. Weird, right?

Character App
Name: Aishi
Age: 16
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: ...Is that relevant?
Bio: Surely it doesn't matter that much. It can't be that important. Why are you asking so many questions?!
Appearance:

Magic Art(s): Guardian Arts
Magic Specifics: Healing others, naturally, as well as ward creation and binding(less powerful). Very good healer, not as good with the other two. Has no self-healing factor.
Other Abilities: Quite skilled with many types of menial tasks and labor--in general, just skilled with her hands.
Weapon(s): A rather fancy dagger--now where did she get that? And a small vial of poison that she always keeps on her person.

RP Sample:

Did you read the Rules? Yeah whatever.

Optional Stuff:
Personality: You'll see, won't you?
Likes: Meh.
Dislikes: Whatever.

Alignment: *shrugs*
Theme Song: Shoujo Ningyou. For those who, like me, are not fluent in either Japanese or Spanish, you can find the translation here. Strangely upbeat-sounding, considering the lyrics... such dissonance pleases me.

Character App
Name: Elinor Grey
Age: 15
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Presents as asexual for the sake of her role, actually bi
Bio: Unlike my other characters, where I don't tell you things because I don't want to tell you things, here I don't tell you things because there isn't that much to tell. While she's an excellent student, making it rather obvious why she earned the role of Vice President of the Student Council, she doesn't speak much to others, so facts about her past aren't particularly well-known. One more commonly known fact about her is that, like a certain cinnamon roll and his little sister, Elinor's father is missing. Unlike them, however, he probably did just walk out on his family. Whether or not this had something to do with Elinor's... current state... is questionable. It might just be the way she was born. We're all the products of our histories in some ways, yes, but there are some things that are wired into our brains and can't be removed. Maybe her obsessions stem from something in her past, maybe not. Who knows? Not Elinor.

Either way, they're certainly what got her transferred to Petwora. Turns out that you can be a 'problem child' even if you obey the rules to the letter. Who would have thought? Not Elinor.
Appearance:

Magic Art(s): Creation Arts
Magic Specifics: Elinor excels in creating homunculi, with a secondary focus on enchanted items.
Other Abilities: Elinor is intelligent and a quick study, and a diligent rule-follower, almost never getting in trouble. When she does, she shows her integrity and owns up to it. She's quite responsible.
Weapon(s): She has a variety of enchanted items that she keeps with her, including her rather... unusual clothing, which is enchanted to be as durable as armor and amplify her magic abilities. Her arsenal of weapons is rather large, though... almost concerningly so. She also carries the enchanted item you can see in the pictures, which aids her in focusing her magic--and just looks cool.

RP Sample: Nah.
Did you read the Rules? Of course.

Optional Stuff:
Personality: Meh.
Likes: Mhm.
Dislikes: Yeah, no thanks.

Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Theme Song: ...Ah, why resist? Yama-Xanadu. And here's its translation. (She tries a bit too hard.)

Character App
Name: Kyrie
Age: 2, technically
Race: Homunculus
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: ???
Bio: ...She's two years old. How much do you think there is?
Appearance:

Magic Art(s): Magic Energy Arts
Magic Specifics: Magic Energy Generation and Construct Generation, using energy attacks and objects created out of the same magic that makes up her own being. Often has a certain theme to it, by her mistress's preference.
Other Abilities: Quick and agile, and handy with pretty much any weapon you can give her.
Weapon(s): Whatever her mistress sees fit.

RP Sample: Yeah, whatever.
Did you read the Rules? Yep.

Optional Stuff:
Personality: You'll see, won't you?
Likes: X
Dislikes: X

Alignment: Whatever her mistress wants her to be.
Theme Song: You don't need a translation this time. Yay!

Character App
Name: Dietrich Ekerhart Haegler
Age: 17(,5)
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Pedo
Bio: Born in Germany, particularly southern Germany, Dietrich loved a relatively normal life. Played on playgrounds, collected Lego played Computer games etc. His grades in school, initially good, fell down to average once he graduated to the next level of german schooling. His parents weren't happy with that. A good smacking every now and then was in order. Still didn't really pay off and his grades stayed kinda bad so they instead sent him on a part time job. Atleast he still got to choose which job he would like to do. And he chose to try out a burial service, the reason being that a burial service would never run out of customers untill someone had figured out how immortality worked.

And so he became a gravedigger in training, doing the shitty work of digging the graves. So basically digging big holes. Work that he had much experience with from all the time he had spent in his parents' garden, digging holes for their plants. Still, these were deep and big holes and they had to be perfectly formed so he often stayed on the graveyard untill long after the sun had set. And he actually liked it. It was dark and spooky and nobody was there to talk to him or otherwise interrupt his work. Besides, he had always loved scary stories and graveyards and stuff, especcially old graveyards, that had not yet been constructed in order to efficiently get as many people buried as possible in as little space as possible while still leaving atleast a notion of dignity for them. But eh, things can't just go on like that forever.

Already during his time working as a gravedigger, Dietrich had noticed that for some odd reason, people seemed to be scared by him or something in his vicinity. Back then he had always believed that it was his work that made people try to distance themselves but that seemed implausible when even his boss, coming to check up on him, backed off frightened. He soon found out, that during his work he had always wished to be undisturbed in order to continue his work and hopefully finish it...and subconsciously his magical potential had kicked in, tricking the minds of the people come too close into seeing scary things around him. At first he found this ability very cool. Then he contemplated suicide as this went totally against his ideal of being human and merely that, created in god's own perfect image.

But he didn't have to worry about these things for long since he soon got other things to worry about. His parents died in a car crash, leaving Dieter stranded all alone in this great world. Well, he did go kind of crazy at that point, I mean, these were his parents after all and regardless of how often they had smacked him, he still loved them very much. But eh, he went on a little rampage, managed to get onto IMOSA's radar and was given the opportunity to enlist for one of their academies. Considering how scary the many possibilities, opportunities and dangers of the big world were, he was more than happy for this clear path set out for him and accepted. Now, due to his latent instability as well as the few minor crimes he committed in his rampage, he ended up in Petwora
Appearance:

Too big for my taste

Magic Art(s): Illusionary
Magic Specifics: For his victim, it's going to look as if he is manipulating shadows, creating fell monsters and beasts or weapons of shadow striking them. But that's about it. He's still pretty much at the beginning of his career afterall. But maybe we could add this to the shadow illusions?
Other Abilities: Very familiar with human physiology and a supreme (grave)digger.
Weapon(s): A spade. Don't question it. Just accept it.

RP Sample: You informed me so I suppose I can safely skip this?

Character App
Name: Karel Krizenek
Age: 17
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: A
Bio: Eh, Karel mah boy was born to an old czech family living near the Kyffhäuser mountain in Germany. And to be fair, this family had a long tradition with magic so it was clear from the start that he too would be of service to the family's goals and desires. They homeschooled him, thaught him the usage of the spirit arts as well as mathematics, grammar and spelling, drawing, painting, music, geography, history etc. They never gave the poor boy any respite, creating a soulless little devil looking down upon those below him and just loving to hurt those around him. If they were above him by witt and cunning, if they were below him...well...then he had the luxury to choose.

Pretty early he was let it on the family's secret. Well of course lel, his family had always waited long before making love and giving birth to a child, to a successor thus making his parents very old when he had reached the age appropriate for what they were trying to dow with him. Mainly because the head of the family wasn't too fond of giving up control over the family's legendary spirit too soon, a measure coming from experience. The last time they had a child while they were still young, the child took the legendary spirit and had it slay its parents. Anyway, he gained control over the spirit, Barbarossa, learned from his father all that was necessary as well as the ritual he may have to carry out when he was old in order to retain Barbarossa as a servant to their family. For Barbarossa was powerful and not a normal legendary spirit.

Anway, once he had learned what there was to learn, he too stepped into the boots of his ancestors and disposed of his parents before deciding to travel a little around the world and maybe have some fun with his new companion. During his journey around the world, he initially tried to stay under the radar and travelled with a surgeon. He was quite fascinated by that man's work and often questioned him extensively about it while they traveled together. But eh, of course this young lad just wouldn't keep quiet. After a while he got bored of the old geezer and went his own way, committing several crimes with his legendary spirit, ending up with IMOSA taking care of him. Due to his criminal record as well as the fact that nobody knew where he was coming from or what his backstory or his family was, he was put into Petwora for re-socialisation and rehabilition.
Appearance:

Magic Art(s): Spirit
Magic Specifics: Can summon the spirit of Emperor Friedrich I. Barbarossa (Tier 2) to fight by his side (Phrase: "Emperor thee, heed my call for I require your Teutonic Rage. Sow the seeds of Teutonic Terror in the ranks of my enemies!" I bet it's too long again)
Other Abilities: Quite an acrobatic fellow, also has a basic grasp of medicine and especcially surgery. Quite handy with a knife.
Weapon(s): Does carry a rather long knife around with him.

RP Sample: You mentioned this to me so I guess this can be skipped
Did you read the Rules? Yes

Optional Stuff:
Personality: Ruthless in trying to achieve his goals, this grinning fellow just loves seeing other suffer. Although he is quite the coward when the odds are stacked against him, preferring a theatrific exit rather than taking a stand.

Name: Dietrich Ekerhart Haegler
Magic Art(s): Illusionary
Magic Specifics: For his victim, it's going to look as if he is manipulating shadows, creating fell monsters and beasts or weapons of shadow striking them. But that's about it. He's still pretty much at the beginning of his career afterall. But maybe we could add this to the shadow illusions?

Character App
Name: Karel Krizenek

Yes, Dietrich's illusions can act like that, except for harming the victim. They are not "True Illusions" like what Nabal is capable of, as such they can not cause physical harm to the victim.

Karel is accepted as is.

Character App
Name: Valentine Norcross
Age: Val is physically 14, albeit she looks younger due to her size and style of dressing. And that is not likely to change. When people ask her how long she's been fourteen, she says: "Too damn long."
Race: Vampire
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Ace
Bio: Valentine Eleanor Theresa Norcross was born in Birmingham, England to James and Eleanor “Ellie” Norcross. She was the younger or two children, although her older brother was college aged by the time that Val was born. Still, James Norcross Jr. (called JJ) doted on his little sister and the two are fairly close. She was born on St. Valentine’s Day, which is where her first name came from. Val’s father worked for a UK news network as a reporter and her mother had a job as an architect, her childhood was often spent traveling because of this and she can’t even name all the countries she’s been to without her list. Although she enjoyed the adventure, she was sometimes sad as most children would be since she didn’t have a permanent hometown or permanent friends. It was during these travels, in Lithuania, that Val wandered away from her parents one night to do more exploring alone. Long story short, that’s how she was turned into a vampire. Nobody had any idea at first until the strange symptoms started appearing, and she couldn’t go out in sunlight anymore. And that she didn’t age, even when two birthdays passed by. Her parents were at a loss for what to do for her...until they did some research and discovered the Petwora school. They decided that sending her there would be the best option for her, as she could find out more about her new self. Val didn’t want to go at first, but she was told to just think of it as another adventure and that’s how she ended up
Appearance: (although her hair and eyes are more of a neon pink)

Magic Art(s): Vampire arts
Magic Specifics: Val has the typical vampiric powers. Super strength, minor compulsion, the ability to turn into a bat and into mist, she has what she calls her "dark form", where she looks more feral and vampiric when she's feeding, supernatural speed, and things like that. She can teleport in mist as well, but in short distances only
Other Abilities: She knows how to use her appearance to her advantage, nobody would convince a little girl of being dangerous. She's also very stealthy and is a master lockpick.
Weapon(s): She has a dagger, but that's about it.

RP Sample: (If I know you, you can pass on this, if not... or I don't remember you, then no skipping.)
Did you read the Rules? Yes

Optional Stuff:
Personality: Val is cheerful, friendly and happy and won’t hesitate to just walk up to you and introduce yourself, and she’ll very happily chat your ear off. She’s a practical joker and her usual amount of empathy toward strangers can fill half a thimble. However, she’s like poison in a candy coating. She’s pretty sadistic as well especially when hunting victims. Although she has the capacity of many years of wisdom she often treats situations like a game, as she’s not very mature (I guess that’s what happens when you’re eleven years old forever.) This is how people in her life are separated, People that she loves dearly, and people she doesn’t give two shits about. That’s it. And her motto is: “If pink isn’t fixing your problem, you’re not using enough pink.”
Likes: PINK, seriously. Pink is her life. And hearts...and pink hearts. Especially pink hearts. Her room is so pink you might go blind. Oh, and glitter. She also doesn't really mind being a vampire, in fact she actually enjoys it sometimes. Games, and blood. And music. Frilly skirts.
Dislikes: Creeps (bad creepy, not good creepy), sunlight.

Alignment: Chaotic neutral

If you want to do something but aren't sure if it would be allowed, ask me.

Pure blood? I didn't see anything about that.

...is making a fairy cool or is that too small or something? Because if it is I may just make a normal human for now and maybe something later unless I think of something else.

Generally accepted to be the offspring of two vampires, not turned. It's not anywhere in the OP because I assumed people knew what a Pure Blood Vamp would be. If she was a pure blood then she'd age until she reached what could be referred to as her prime if she was a human. But if she was turned then the aging process would just stop.

Please see the Secretary of the Student Council, as Fae = Faery = Fairy.

Oh, right. Sorry. Didn't really look over them. Probably should have. Heh...
Guess fairies aren't super small, then. That's cool.
