Character Creation

[Lura, Dean]

Full Name: Anavriel
(view spoiler)[When she was born, more than 30,000 years ago, surnames (a.k.a. last names) were not in use. She has never formally adopted one, though she will occasionally use her mate's name as her surname, especially on applications and the like. Thus her office door will have her name as Anavriel Mirak. (hide spoiler)]

Nickname: Ana (to her family), the Lightbringer (to the worshipers of her mate)

Species: Angel/unicorn shifter hybrid

Sex/Gender: Female

Age: 32,000 or so (looks around 30)

Birthday/Birth date: unknown/forgotten

Occupation: History Professor

Abilities/Skills/Powers/Strengths:
Light Magic - While she can use most kinds of magic, her skills are by far the strongest with Light Magic. She just has to be careful not to zap her mate with it as his incubus blood makes it potentially deadly to him.
Transformation - Anavriel can change into one of three forms at will: human, angel, or unicorn.
Healing Magic - this is a racial ability for all unicorns and unicorn shifters. They use these spells instinctually, often without even realizing they are using magic. They need not speak - or even think - the words of a spell, merely of the effect(s) they wish to create.
Elemental magics (Water, Wind, Earth, and Fire) - she can use all elemental magics, though she is best with water and wind magics. She struggles with fire magic, but can do most minor spells.
Force Magic - She has a goodly amount of skill with force magic, due at least in part to the instruction and other assistance received from her mate.
History - Having been alive for the majority of human existence, she knows most of their history. She also knows the history of various species of shifters and other magical beings.
Enhanced Senses - all of her senses are much better than the human average.
True Sight - she can see the true nature of a person or being, including any alternate forms they may have. She can suppress the ability to see all forms of a being at once if she concentrates on doing so.
Empathy - Ana can generally sense how people feel. This ability works better the closer in proximity she is to the person in question. She can sometimes use this ability on animals as well, though it works best on unicorns and fell unicorns.

Weaknesses:
Mirak - her mate. She would do (almost) anything for him or to protect him.
her family - again, she would do almost anything to protect them.
Dark Magic - she takes extra damage from dark magic, even more than those of pure angel blood would due to her unicorn blood.
Illusion Magic - She can not perform illusion spells. They do, after all, require some amount of lying to do them, which she can not do: she can not knowingly lie.
Honesty - Anavriel can not lie (knowingly). She can understate things as tact requires, but can not tell an outright lie.

Appearance:
Human:
(In angel costume.)


Angel:


Unicorn:

(May have wings like those of her angel form; they can be hidden.)


Personality:
- Sweet
- Understanding
- Tactful (usually, see weaknesses)
- Passionate
- Caring
- Submissive (usually only to her mate)
- Strong

Background:
Her mother, a unicorn shifter, had a brief affair with a male angel when she was a young woman. Though they cared deeply for each other, she convinced him to return to his responsibilities instead of staying with her and their child. Several years later, when Anavriel was around eight years old, her mother married another unicorn shifter. She has (had) a half-dozen half-siblings from that marriage.

Ever since she was a young girl of just over a decade old, she felt drawn to the being known as the Dark God. But he scared her, so she avoided him for as long as she could. She caught a few glimpses of him as she grew into a woman, but never got close enough to so much as speak to him. To her surprise, she stopped aging at around thirty years old. (Though she was nearly fifty before she realized it.) Neither her angel blood nor her unicorn blood were enough to explain why. Other half-angels grew slowly, but never stopped aging; neither did unicorn shifters, which actually aged at about the same rate as their human counterparts.

So she had even more years around him - and his worshipers - than she should have had logically. It was not until she was nearly two millenia old that she finally gave into the draw and went to him. From the very moment they met, their passion burned bright and hot. She could no longer deny that he was her soul's mate.

They had been together just under a year when treachery among those who worshiped him nearly cost her life. A woman, who believed herself to be Mirak's mate, offered to help with the delivery of their first child. In the days leading up to the birth, the woman slipped several substances into Ana's food that thinned her blood. When she did give birth - to a beautiful baby boy - she very nearly bled to death. Mirak saved her by giving her his blood, the vampiric and draconic parts of his DNA helped her regenerate the damage she had sustained, though she went into a coma-like state before that happened. In his grief and anger, Mirak destroyed much of the world's civilizations, bringing about the end of the Third Stone Age. Only when she called for him to return to her side did his destruction cease. Unknown to her, a bright light shone from the cave she had given birth in, thus earning her the nickname of Lightbringer. Neither she nor Mirak have ever figured out what caused that light.

Over the next ten thousand years, she supported him as he reigned over his worshipers. They had more than two dozen children during that time, though very few of them survived the entire time. Their first-born son and two daughters remained by the time Mirak was displaced by a rival. They had to move then to ensure the survival of those who worshiped him as his rival threatened war if they did not leave.

They settled in a remote part of the world, where they were able to raise their family and live in peace. They had several more children in the years to follow. After nearly twenty thousand years, they had lost almost all of their children to various diseases, old age (if they chose not to have the extended lifespan of their parents), or assassination, but his ancient rival had been deposed and even killed. Mirak reclaimed his old position and is now in the (long) process of becoming a true god. Should he succeed, she will also become a true god. Well, goddess. She is both excited and terrified by the idea. Already, they have outlived all but three of their children, all but one of their grandchildren, and all of their great-grandchildren; she is unsure of the idea of eternal life, as she has already had a very long life. A life filled with both immense sadness and incredible joy.

Likes:
- Her mate
- animals and shifters
- learning
- chocolate, especially dark chocolate
- fruit
- nature and open spaces
- sunlight
- flowers

Dislikes:
- Her mate's nickname (the Dark God); it reminds her of when she nearly died 30,000 years ago.
- insects and spiders
- ignorance
- meat, more so if it's uncooked
- cities and large buildings
- elevators and other small, enclosed spaces

Other:
- Claustrophobic.
- Mate to Mirak.
- Distant ancestor of Maeve (great-great-great-etc aunt).
- Has outlived nearly all of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Of her children, only her firstborn son and two eldest daughters remain. Only one grandson (Trick) remains alive, and none of her great-grandchildren have survived. She has one great-great-grandchild still living, though he has no idea of their connection (or that he has unicorn shifter, incubus, and dragon in his genetic makeup). He also works at the college as a professor.

[Lura, Dean]

Added a new weakness to Megami Ha: her mate. ^_^

Will likely be adding similar weaknesses to other characters (specifically Chantily, Rose, Kareena, Chloe, Kaden, Briea, Fiona, Seamus, and Olivia) soon. I'll update this post as I do so. (I should have added such weakness to all but the first four listed above - and Seamus - already!)

[Demon Dragon]

Full Name: Morak Silver-wing

Nickname: many nicknames

Species: were-gryphon (with a bit of dragon still flowing through his veins).

Sex/Gender: male

Age: about 30,000 years old.

Birthday/Birth date: unknown

Occupation: Battlemaster (muscle powered weapons)/ Head Security Guard (or whatever basically means he runs the guards, makes sure they stay in line, and trains students to fight better (if they so wish).)

Human Abilities/Skills/Powers/Strengths:
*one of a handful of beings able to use all types of magic.
*Dark magic-able to summon a sword made of pure dark magic in his left hand
*Light magic-able to summon a sword made of pure light magic in his right hand.
*able to shift to a giant gryphon form.
*extremely fast, tough, strong, smart, and cunning.
*knows many styles of fighting.
*able to see the full potential in a being, as well as how to bring it out.

Gryphon Abilities/Etc:
*left fore claws/talon can have a aura of pure dark magic around it, the right fore claws/talons can have a aura of pure light magic.
*quicker recovery than in human form.

Human Weaknesses:
*only able to wield light magic with his right hand.
*only able to wield dark magic with his left hand.
*his emotions are not what one would call stable, he can be calm one minute then angry the next for the slightest thing.


Gryphon Weaknesses:
*in this form the instincts and behaviors of the Gryphon come to the surface, some of these are either very hard or impossible to control.


Human Appearance: stands about 7 ft 8 inches tall with broad shoulders and slim waist. silver grey hair and bright metallic silver eyes. hair is long and lion-like but face looks a bit aquiline.

Gryphon Appearance: a giant silver Gryphon. (can't seem to get stupid pic to come up)

Hybrid (or true form) Appearance: look as if he got stuck through mid transformation. he stands about 8 and a half feet tall with palish skin and giant silver wings. his head has a more aquiline look to it than in his human form. same colored eyes.

Personality: has only recently gained any personality to speak of. but he is mostly calm. tends to think things out.

Background: the eldest son of Mirak and Anavriel. he was worshiped right along side his father and mother since he was twenty one years old. he was three hundred years old when he found a dying were-gryphon, the last of its kind. Morak saved the were-gryphon but it came at a price. he lost almost all trace of vampire, necromancer, angel, unicorn, and dragon blood left in him; losing most of his old powers and losing all the forms he once had. in return however he gained a new form, the form of a giant silver Gryphon, and quickly learned the trade off hadn't been so bad. his new form was even stronger than his dragon form had been, faster than his vampiric blood would have allowed, and he was even able to channel his magic in his claws, something he couldn't do before.

five hundred years later he's made a name for him self and has his own personal worshipers as well as a small army, having found out that giving his blood to certain individuals turns them into were-gryphons. he and his gryphons were known far and wide as the most ferocious fighters for a long time.

But not enough. after several thousand years a rival appears wanting Mirak's throne. it was in a confrontation that Morak found his soulmate. he was fighting against some of the rival's assassins when she dropped down from some trees and nearly kills him. luckily he dodged, and when he did their eyes met and it was love at first sight. unfortunately they were only together for a year. they were out one night when they were attacked by some of Morak's own fighters. they bind him and poison him, not enough to kill or knock him out but enough to weaken him, then they rape his mate right before his eyes then they rip her apart when they are done. unfortunately for them they miscalculated the right dose for him and he was able to tear from his bindings and kill every single one of them. he spent the next three days crying over his beloved's body, surrounded by the remains of his attackers, and that was how his father found him.

it was the loss of Morak's mate that forced Mirak to leave, the threat of the same happening to others wasn't something Mirak could handle. over the next few decades Morak started losing his emotions, though it took his mother mentioning it before he ever noticed. he continued to shock and awe over the years as he kept living, few beings would last very long without their soulmate once found and fewer still would be as sane as he is. after a while Morak traveled alone, learning different fighting styles from various sources. within the last hundred years he's started showing emotion once more, a sign that his soulmate's soul has either been reborn or that she may be reborn. the death of his oldest sister and her mate finally forced from his lone travels though. when this happened Morak returned and joined Mirak in the killing of the rival, and eventually succeeded.

recently offered a position at the college, accepting only when he felt a hint of his soulmate's presence.


Likes: very little. the good memories of his mate. beating arrogant fools to a bloody pulp.

Dislikes: most everything. tigers (shifter and were). idiots.

Other: called by supernaturals the Hands of Fate, for the fact that Fate tends to use him a lot and for the power in his hands. also called Lord of the Skies, Silver-Death. is right on up there with the Gryphon gods (will explain below). Morak is one of a handful of beings to ever survive the scratch of a Wendigo, he is also the only being to ever gain their loyalty without the use of mind-control.


Gryphon tidbits: gryphons are the only know species that dragons will go out of there way to avoid. a average male gryphon can kill a large dragon, despite the extreme size difference.
*male Gryphons and Were-Gryphons (as well as shifters) are all fighters while females are hunters. this isn't a sexist way of thinking though. males have stronger forelegs and thicker bodies, perfect for fighting, while females have strong back-legs and slim bodies, perfect for hunting. this isn't to say males won't hunt and females won't fight, they often do when needed.
*the largest of gryphons, shifter or otherwise, tends to be about 4 meters in length, though 5 meters isn't unheard of.
*the largest known Gryphon is Morak Silver-wing, stretching over 8 meters from beak tip to tail tip.
*Gryphons are one of the few races that dragons actually envy sometimes when it comes to beauty. even a old, worn out, dying, sickened, diseased Gryphon has a air of nobility none could match and still amazing to look at.

[Lura, Dean]

I was going to ask how he could do both dark and light magic when he had no mention of either demon or angel in his species. Then I saw the first bit of his background and no longer needed to ask. ^_^ (Though I would have appreciated a heads up about him.)


For his position, Battlemaster is fine (though you will need to specialize - see discussion below). Guard Captain would be Head Security Guard.

His likes and dislikes will need to be more specific.

[Iesha (In east shade house at...)]

We have a battle master now? (As in unbeatable hand to hand professor/teacher?)

[Lura, Dean]

I don't know about unbeatable, but yeah, we have a combat teacher now.

Maybe we should have multiples... one for unarmed combat, one for muscle-powered weapons (swords, etc., thrown weapons, maybe bows?), and one for ranged weapons (crossbows, guns, maybe put bows here instead?).

[Iesha (In east shade house at...)]

I like that idea. It may even help increase activity here. They can be under General lessons,. Wouldn't that work?

[Lura, Dean]

Iesha (In east shade house at...) wrote: "I like that idea. It may even help increase activity here. They can be under General lessons,. Wouldn't that work?"

Precisely my thinking. Okay, so once Demon Dragon gets on again, and picks a specialty, we can try and recruit other Battlemasters. ^_^

[Lura, Dean]

Actually, we may need two Battlemasters just for unarmed combat: one for humans, elves, etc AND one for shifters (of whatever species... or at least the predatory species, I would think prey species would be more likely to fight in their human form).

[Iesha (In east shade house at...)]

(Good point. So one for each groups or just the two to oversee the rest? )

[Lura, Dean]

Okay, here's what I'm thinking:

Four Battlemasters:
1) Unarmed combat (humans and elves)
2) Unarmed combat (shifters)
3) Muscle-powered weapons (swords and the like, thrown weapons, bows)
4) Ranged weapons (crossbows [which are mostly mechanical] and guns)

One of the four can also be the head of that department. I'll let Demon Dragon have it for his new character if he wants it, since he was the first person to make a Battlemaster.

Once we get this ironed out, I'll add it to the 'Important Information' topic, but we need to leave this conversation about it here until Demon Dragon sees it. Then one of us can delete the whole thing.

[Iesha (In east shade house at...)]

(Sounds good to me. :))

[Lura, Dean]

Okay, cool. I'll go add that now so I don't forget.

[Demon Dragon]

head of department? sorry, brain is kinda slow right now and its not helping that i'm on a time limit right now.

[Demon Dragon]

hey can someone tell me how to put a pic on here? i keep flippin forgetting how.

[Lura, Dean]

< img src="link.to.picture" > but without the beginning and ending space.

Demon Dragon wrote: "head of department? sorry, brain is kinda slow right now and its not helping that i'm on a time limit right now."

I just meant the one who would be in charge of the four battlemasters. Such person would be in charge of making sure the others are fit for the job, and could help in placing students in the correct hand-to-hand combat class: human or shifter. The shifter class would only be for predator species such as wolf or dragon. Prey species (such as deer *ahem*Chloe*ahem*) would go in the human class, unless their shifted form is appropriate for fighting (A buck deer or elk could potentially go in the shifter class as those antlers can be deadly). Does this help?

Still need a bit more on likes and dislikes (say one more of each). At least two personality characteristics, please.

After thinking about this some more, we may need to split the muscle-powered weapons into two groups: melee (swords, axes, etc.) and ranged (bows, slings, blowguns). What do you guys think? (Question open to everyone, not just Iesha and/or Demon Dragon.)

[Iesha (In east shade house at...)]

It depends on rather you want to split the groups-I mean some people has interest in one more than the other, and so they want their character to be in a certain group. You know what I mean? As for the idea, I say it makes sense. Do you plan to split the others?

I'm just now seeing this>.> I was on earlier, but my phone was acting up for some reason.(I have to figure that out)

[Lura, Dean]

You posted your response four minutes after I posted the idea... ^_^

I've already got the hand-to-hand combat split between humans and shifters. I don't see a need to split the current ranged weapons category between guns and crossbows (which are really all I can think of that wouldn't be considered muscle-powered).

[Iesha (In east shade house at...)]

Yep-I moved to my computer.

[Demon Dragon]

okay i think i finished him.

[Lura, Dean]

Demon Dragon wrote: "okay i think i finished him."

He still needs at least two personality traits. Thanks.

[Demon Dragon]

that work?

APPROVED!!

Did you want him to be in charge of the battlemasters?

Also, what do you think of my idea of splitting muscle-powered weapons into melee and ranged? If I do, am I right in assuming he would be melee?

[Demon Dragon]

yes, i'd like him to be the lead battlemaster. splitting them up sounds alright to me. yes he'd be melee.

[Lura, Dean]

Demon Dragon wrote: "yes, i'd like him to be the lead battlemaster. splitting them up sounds alright to me. yes he'd be melee."

Mmkay. So far, you and Iesha have been the only ones to respond to my question about splitting muscle-powered weapons. I'll give it another few days for others to (hopefully) respond before I decide for sure. If no one else responds by this coming Monday, I'll post my decision then.

[Iesha (In east shade house at...)]

Should I send out an mass email here?

[Lura, Dean]

For what?

I'm thinking of doing one once we get all the details on BattleMasters finalized, but that won't be for a few days yet.

[Lura, Dean]

Full Name: Isabella Tigersblood

Nickname: Izzy, Belle (Only her family calls her that.)

Species: half tiger shifter, half angel

Sex/Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight
Availability: Available but not looking. She's too young to settle down!

Age: 18 (almost)

Birthday/Birth date: August 20

Occupation: Student

Abilities/Skills/Powers/Strengths:
Light Magic - Her mother has taught her some basic light magic spells, mostly defensive ones. She taught her enough to be able to protect herself should some demon attack her.
Water magic - Has learned a little bit of water magic with the help of her cousin Chantily. Tigers love water.
Transformation - Izzy can take one of four possible forms at will: human, angelic (human form with wings), white tiger, and angelic tiger. She's had loads of practice changing forms, so she doesn't even need to concentrate to do so any longer.
Writing - She is a talented writer, though she doesn't believe it herself. This is about the only area where she lacks self-confidence.
Enhanced Senses - Due to her heritage, Isabella has much better than human senses.
Melee Combat - Izzy is quite a talented fighter. She's had very little training, but can hold her own against all but the most skilled opponents. This is true of both hand-to-hand combat (especially in her tiger form) and sword fighting in human (or angelic) form. Her father taught her how to fence, but she quickly surpassed him in skill.

Weaknesses:
Dark Magic/Unholy Items - As a half-angel, she is weak to dark magic and unholy items. She takes more damage from both than a normal human would but less than a full angel.
Chocolate - She'll do almost anything for chocolate. She's addicted. (Good thing shifting burns through the calories!)
Impulsive - Izzy tends to act before she thinks, which often gets her in trouble.
Patience - She has very little.
Short temper - She gets mad easily and often. This also gets her in trouble often.

Appearance:
Human:

Face Claim: Molly Quinn

Tiger:

(Can hide the wings. Can also summon the wings when in human form.)

Personality:
- Independent
- Outgoing
- Intelligent
- Creative
- Loyal
- Impulsive
- Short-tempered

Background:
Izzy's parents met when her father attended the College of Magic. Her mother was the Light magic professor at the time, having taken the position as a favor to Dean Ilivarra. ((Don't ask how they knew each other. I haven't figured that out yet!)) It was love at first sight. They are soul mates. It is very rare for a full-blooded angel to have a soul mate of another species, much less find him (or her). They were married for almost ten years before having Izzy. She was nearly ten when they had a second child, another girl who they named Elizabeth. Little Liz practically worships her big sister.

By the time her younger sister was born, Izzy was proficient in changing form. She was getting good with light magic as well, and starting to learn water magic from her cousin. In high school, she was both popular and near the top of her class. She doesn't care for school, though and only agreed to go to college after her parents begged her. And bribed her with a brand new laptop/tablet. ((Asus Transformer Book T100 *grin* Will explain why that makes me grin in chat.))

She has no idea what she's going to study here. Had she gone to a regular college, she likely would have become an English major. Or English education.

She spent the last month with her mother's heavenly family learning how to better use and control light magic. They attempted to help with her temper and impatience also. That didn't go so well.

Likes:
- cute guys
- chocolate, especially if it's dark
- strawberries and most other berries
- apples
- Greek yogurt
- music
- reading & books
- her family

Dislikes:
- throwbacks (think caveman attitude)
- raw meat (Will not eat unless in tiger form AND starving.)
- blueberries
- sour stuff
- fighting ((Just because she's good at it doesn't mean she likes it!))
- control freaks
- old perverts who hit on her (or her cousin) ((HA!))

Other:
Cousin to Chantily. Their fathers are brothers.
She has no idea of this, but she is the reincarnation of Morak Silver-wing's soul mate. ((That should be entertaining, given the dislikes of both...))

[Lura, Dean]

Izzy is finished! (And approved, obviously.)

Background:
Iris was originally born in the 1800's until they were 17 they where separated by her mother and a few other minor gods Hectate thought this would be better to keep Iris from being distracted keeping watch over her brother even before he became very "troubled". The twins were taken their separate ways never allowed to meet again until Iris was done mastering her magic almost 200 year later. Before Iris was taken she and her father had gotten into a fight. Her father later had gotten so upset he had smacked her the hardest he had ever. Before she had completely blacked out, she had seen her brother come out of the kitchen with one of the cooking knives. He had been able to creep up behind their father, as she blacking out because of her fathers kicks to her head as she was on the floor her brother had a terrifying smile on his face as he help up his finger to his mouth telling her to keep quiet. That was the last thing she had seen before she woke up on a marble floor in a cozy looking greek style house.
When Iris sat up she saw her mother, Hectate tending to the flames. Hectate turned to Iris explaining to her how she would not age in this place, nor notice the passing of time. Hectate's goal was to train Iris until she had reached the prime of the ability of her magic. She frequently asked what had happened to her brother but the question was never answered. When she was released Iris was urgently searching for her brother. When she found him, in a mental institution, finally back in America she coaxed the doctors he was okay but still needed his medication they agreed. She never got answer out of him of why he was there but the doctors gave her a very brief answer. "War can impact someone so much". Hectate had told her when she left that her brother had in fact been under a blessing that would not let him age until she had finally found him. When he was located he still had the face of a 17 year old. She at this time looked 24. She needed somewhere safe for the two of them so she had decided to enroll them both in this college two years ago.

Background:
When Tyler was 17 he and his sister were still living with their father. They were originally born in the 1800's. One day when Tyler heard his father and sister arguing he didn't think twice presumming it was another petty fight. I wasn't until Tyler heard a thump and his sisters voice fade that her knew something had happened. Tyler had been cutting up meat for dinner in the kitchen for dinner so when he ran out of the kitchen the sight made something insode snap like a twig. He couldn't feel anything he just knew he had to kill their father. A smile grew on his face as he thought about the blood dripping on his hands. He needed it. Sneaking up behind their father as their father repeativly kicked her, staining the floor with the blood for her many wounds. Putting a finger to his lips with out making a sound her was telling her not to react to his presence. Then she passed out right as Tyler plunged the knife into their father's back. Letting go of the knife after stabbing their father a few mire times, Tyler grabbed his sister running to a safe spot where for the next three days he prayed to their mother to care for Iris.
As he slept his sister was taken and he was cursed. This curse caused him to wake up in the middle of a warzone, part of the army with all the information already in his head. If he died, he would wake up in another war, usually on the american side. This kept going on for around 200 years until his sister located him while he was almost at the end of his cycle about to go into another war. The doctors were concerned because he would speak openly about this and they wouldn't believe him. There was only one way to get out of the places and he become a master at it. He was secretly ashamed that he did it a lot but there was no other way. He would kill himself. It was the day before he was about to do it when his sister found him. He didn't believe it until a few months after she got him out. And then he felt it. The curse was lifted, he was mortal once again. He started ageing until he caught up to his appropriate age, 26, like his sister. His sister want to know what happened during the 200 years she was missing but he doesn't answer. Tyler keeps it a secret that Hectate didnt lift the curse, but only told him to fake it being lifted for his sisters sake. Iris thinks she's protecting him by sending him to this college but through Tyler experience, this place may not be as safe as everyone thinks.

Family:
-Hectate (view spoiler)[Greek godess of fire and magic (hide spoiler)] —mother
-Macon Wolfgang—father
-Iris Wolfgang- Twin sister

She needs more abilities/skills/powers/strengths - at least 4. Such abilities/etc. needn't be related to magic or school. (See the first bullet point under abilites/etc. of Katie's Iris Wolfgang or abilities/etc. numbers 3 and 5 under my own Isabella Tigersblood for examples.) What all kinds of magic can she do? Either as spells or the more visceral connection she seems to have with fire.

Also needs more weaknesses, but just one more. I finally got around to specifying a minimum number of abilities/etc. and weaknesses in the first post on this thread. Sorry for not having done so earlier.

I would prefer a bit more detail for her background as well. For instance, who brought her to the college? If you like, it could be one of my characters. Xantra (wind magic professor) would be most likely, I think. Also, how long has she been at the college? (How long has it been since she lost her parents? Does she still cry herself to sleep at night over it? That kind of stuff.)

Oh, and this is more of a personal preference than a requirement, but could you please put a blank line between each section of the profile (as in the two profiles linked above)? Those blank lines make it much easier to read. Thanks.

Oh okay. How do you edit comments?

[Lura, Dean]

Look on the bottom right corner of the comment. There should be a series of links: reply | edit | delete | flag* (the word flag is in a light gray). You'll only have the edit link on your own posts. Simply click that link and edit your post. ^_^

At least, that's how it works through a web browser. If you're using the goodreads app on a smartphone or tablet... or the mobile version of the website... I've no idea. Perhaps Iesha or Katie can help with that. Ladies?

[Møøńšhådöw {Stars are only visible in darkness}]

Yeah... I don't see it anywhere. I also went on the web and it wasn't there. Do you mind if I just add the things in a second comment?

Are you on a smartphone (or tablet)? If so, that's probably why. Do you have access to a laptop or desktop computer?

[Møøńšhådöw {Stars are only visible in darkness}]

I'm using a IPhone. Also, I'll have to wait a bit to use the laptop. Do you mind?

[Lura, Dean]

That's fine. I don't mind waiting. Just as a warning, I may not be on much longer as I'm getting a headache. :(

Iesha can also approve characters, though, so hopefully one of us will be around.

Full Name: Gris Groomsman

Nickname: Grits (view spoiler)[It isn't a rare occurrence for someone to accidentally refer to her as 'Grits', like the food. She doesn't like it, but she's not going to fight you over getting her name right. (hide spoiler)] or Pretty Boy (view spoiler)[Though Gris is in fact, a female. With only a short glance, some could assume otherwise. The nick name came to be when one of the students was convinced she was actually a boy, but found her to be prettier compared to an average boy. So, 'Pretty Boy'. This is another nick name to tease her with. This get on her nerves less than 'Grits'. (hide spoiler)]

Species: Human of no other nature.

Sex/Gender: Female (She/Her)

Age: 19

Birthday/Birth date: New Years.

Occupation: Student. (I suppose she could be in her second year as a student? I'm sorry, I don't know how age and grade correlates here.)

Abilities/Skills/Powers/Strengths:
Gris advances in the manipulation of biological and inorganic substances, both psychologically and physically, (convincing people against their will, or simply moving a cup across the table with a flick of her wrist.)
She takes great knowledge in
-the solstices
-fortune telling
-physical and psychological manipulation (psychokinesis & degrees of hypnosis)
-black magic
-potions

Weaknesses:
Physically she is disabled. She has joint problems that make her movements slow and brittle, as though one sharp movement would crack her bones. She as well has trouble sleeping, leaving her heavy minded with dark circles around her eyes, along with a concrete voice and little tone.


Appearance:



At a glance Gris may look like a boy, but this is not the case. She is a somewhat slender and a bit tall. Her lack of, well, bust, is due to her hard slouch forward and large clothes. Dark circles surround her dulled, grey eyes and her expression is often deadpan. She looks worn and maybe older than she really is. It is common for those to take her as an authority figure with her stiff persona and listening skills.

Personality:
Though Gris may come across a bit stiff and dull... Well, she is to some.
In class, the girl could sit stationary for a good half hour without moving a single muscle as she listened to a professor or stared at a book. Though she is very good at listening, she is not opposed to raising an argument. Never would an argument get heated on her side; she is very level headed and could be described most simply as 'monotone'. Nevertheless, she enjoys people's company and is easily amused. Aside from her natural dim behavior, Gris does not move like other people. Her joints are stiff, making her movement slow and her walk slouched. Even taking a book from the library, people would offer to help her, just to save her long fingers from cracking.
Gris has a way of getting herself caught in people. She is not opposed to asking for help and is easily twines people into little conversation, rather it be in the school yard, in the library, or even in the girl's bathroom. There was something faintly intriguing about her that pulled people in.

Background:
As a normal human, she only joined the magic world because of her family blood. She grew up in the heart of Mississippi, giving her a bit of a draw that some may need to be patient with. She grew up in a farm. Her feelings towards her family and farm were indifferent. She didn’t care for her life at home. Nothing happened there. Her mother died 12. Gris barely knew the woman on a personal level but that didn’t bother her.

Likes:
Gris likes people. Though she is not loud herself, she likes to meet a good character.
She also likes to read and take secret naps in the library.
Her favorite color is grey, and her favorite foods are decorated cakes and rice balls.
She also enjoys taking sips of other people's drinks.

Dislikes:
Gris could not say that she hates anyone, but some people just fluster her. She referred to this breed of people as 'the cookie cutters'. She'd met many characters like them and was not interested in speaking to them further, or found that they tried too hard, as though they only knew how to bring their characteristics out in blasts.
Gris disliked any activity that forced her run or move too fast.
She also disliked Twizzlers because she didn't like the texture.

Other:
When it came to activities, rarely would Gris shoot down an opportunity. She enjoyed sharing other's interests, but sometimes there was a physical barrier that kept her from joining other. Being with Gris may require patience for the more upbeat, hyper sort. Fortunately, Gris had plenty of patience too.

Her manipulation: Is it magic or psychokinesis?

Background = history. Where and how did she grow up?


FallaciousGod wrote: "Abilities/Skills/Powers/Strengths:
Gris has few advantages in her studies."

This makes no sense to be under abilities/etc. If she has advantages in her studies (whatever that means), list them!


FallaciousGod wrote: "Weaknesses:
Gris takes lightly to what people have to say or do to her."

How is that a weakness? I'm thinking lightly was not what you meant here. Or if it was what you meant, remove it. It's not a weakness. (I could argue for it being a strength or simply part of her personality.)


Also, what do you mean by "couching"? Please explain. That's not a term I've heard in regards to RP before.

I have edited the character but I didn't see the word couching?

[Lura, Dean]

It (couching) was in your comment at the very bottom of the character, which you have removed.

One other thing: Dark magic, in this world, is exclusive to demons and demon-bloods. As a full human, she wouldn't be able to use dark magic. Or did you mean black magic (as in damaging spells, curses, etc.)? Black magic can be part of any number of elements.

[§†êl͓̽l͓̽åꝈนຖå]

Black magic I suppose I won't emphasize it though. :) Thank you.

APPROVED!!

At 19 she can be either a first year or second year student (or later if she started college early). As a first year, she would need to go through Reception to get her room assignment. If she's a second year, I can just assign her a room. Let's continue this here: Character Chat
