NationStates Jolt Archive

http://www.randyasplund.com/asplund/cards/mtg/fortarea.jpg
All nations are invited to send students to Dominarias most famous academy of magic and artifice, all students must be within 5-18 years of age at the time of their arrival at the island.
Tolaria is a small island far out in Dominarias Sea of Laments, the World Ocean, really.
Due to Tolarias temporal geography all students will return within a few months at the outside. Tolaria was, during the early days of the Phrexian War, devastated by a blast from a failed time travel experiment, the blast, which also devastated Tolarias physical geography, shatered the time of the area, and now the island is divided into slow, fast, and normal time areas, both mild and sever. Using the tendancy of water to retain its time, students may pass into either, alowing projects that normaly take centuries to pass in days, or allowing long term storage of sensitive equipment and perishable items. All students sent will be located in fast time areas, where a year will pass in roughly a month, greatly 'speeding' their education.

It is advised that students sent to magical classess have some previous talent, since not everybody has the ability to call on the land, and summon the energy needed to create spells. In artifice classess magical skills are advisable, but not needed.

Another note on Magical classes, please specify the terrain the students where born in, this may seem trivial, but each person has a specific 'affenity' for a type of terrain, this is strongly affects their magical ability, somebody born on plains will have a strong tendency toward white magic, such as healing and defensive spells, while somebody born in mountains has a tendency toward offensive magic. Please send this information along with your students, and we will assign them to classess that will most strongly benifit them.

All classess will last one relative year, or about a month in 'real' time.

OOC:

Something wrong?

Could somebody at least tell me whats wrong with my posts? Every topic I make drops like a stone with one other person posting in it, except Wargames and FNA, so basicaly any RP or storefront I make dies, and its starting to make me somewhat angry :evil:

Try to make an Real time or space storefront.

OOC: Nothing wrong with it - just bump it enough times and I'm sure it draws attention. I'm not joining, because I'm doing enough fantasy rp's already, I'm not interested in having might and magic in NationStates.

Storefronts truely draw attention, yes - basically, all people care about here is war and arms..

Except that my nation is what it is and Im not going to change that, I am sticking to my medeival fantasy world. Modern and space nations are free to take the classes, powerstone technology integrates seamlessly with electrical systems, so its useful to them on account of having a clean burning, nearly unlimited, cheap source of energy.
And as to magic, I see lots of Future tech guys with magic users out there.

(Velmora will send this woman. I am acting on thier behalf as I hardly use Velmora, as she will be active under this account.)

Classes: Level three magic (born within lush forests and farmlands)

Money shall be sent with me. Is this application accepted?

Hopefully yours,

Jade Redwood

(OOC I will be roleplaying outside of lessons too)

Your application is gratefully accepted, she will be placed in a predominantly white-green class, and cheifly learn spells of healing, protection, strengthening and large summonings.

A Skyship can be dispatched to coordinates you give on a date you choose, or you may bring her here yourself, however, the academys location is a secret and any other than the student who come here may have to have thier memories of the location of this place edited.

OOC: I am going to assume you wired the money already, or shipped it, or whatever :), I may RP Dominarian students, as well as Barrin or Urza. Somebody else can take Rayne if they want to, I was never good at RPing females, not being one :P

Alright, I will travel by Skyship.

(OOC When there are enough studants, do it as a traveling experaince. Give us a description of the ship etc. Can we rp the travel a little bit, because we might meet other people upon the way. I am getting off soon, so it should give other people a chance to join in. Go on people...but please. No uberpowerful people.)

OOC: I only have one 'uberpowerful' charecter, that being Urza, who is effectivly Immortal, he can be killed, its just really really hard, and, if nobody kills him, he will live forever. The perks of being made of pure energy eh?

And, if you need to know about the skyship, its about 200 feet long, fiftey wide, and thirty tall, it flies(AMAZING!), and is capable of almost instantly moving to just about anywhere via planeshift, there are places however (Like Tolaria) where it cannot instantly go, due to environmental effects, or magic, or something else. In any case, once you arrive on Dominaria theres about an hours sail to Tolaria, a days if we go by water. None of the important academy staff are on the ship, just some crew and a few prepatory instructors (tell students what to expect, give uniforms, and other needs), but as nescesary I will RP them.
If anbody else has questions or comments...

OOC: SOMEBODY knows a bit to much about the MTG universe :wink:
kidding man, i assume you read the books...good books...
you are missing Barrin's apprentice...or was it Urza's...uh..i forget the apprentice's name, starts with a T..Te...Tef something or other :)
he took control of tolaria when Urza and Barrin left

OOC:
Yeah, but hes a planeswalker, he's the king or something of Zhalfir, remeber?
Anyway, the reason I remember so much is that I just reread the Artifacts cycle, in my opinion, the only good one (stupid bloody King ruined the whole series, turned it into huge bloodfests with an occasional plot element :x ), his only good book was Timestreams, in MTG series anyway.
So...*WHACK* send a student! Or two, or three, or four, whatever!

OOC:
havnt read the artifacts cycle...i've got....the whole invasion cycle....1 of the uh..the....aww crap i forget what 1 it is, the cycle after invasion...
and i've got the one right BEFORE invasion...
havnt read them in awhile...

if i make a less modern nation at any point and you're still around i will send some people 8)

OOC:
*grumbles about time wasters*

OOC:
haha sorry man, i'll probably pick up the older books at some point..then have a sudden urge to make a medieval type nation :D

OOC:
Well, artifacts is the best of the series, and The Brothers War is the best of the Artifact cycle, so there you go.
Anybody else want to join? Or shall I send the skyship out now?

i wish to send 3 of my best students to your academy.

1. Jade Mondrow
Age: 16
Description: A tall, skinny girl, who enjoys taking risks and sometimes in those risks, starts trouble. She is an extremely smart girl and has the ability to learn things much quicker than others, although, her pride is swollen because of this. She doesnt have very many friends, although, the ones that she has, are extremely close to her, and she will do anything for them.

Magic and Artifice: Her powers consist of level 1 and 2 magic and artifice, and she wishes to learn level 3. She also wishes to learn 1-to-1 combat.

2. James Angott
Age:17
Description: A very outgoing teen who makes friend very easily. He is described as someone who can get along with anyone. James is about average height, and skinny. His powers aren't as strong as Jade's, but he makes up for that with his good reputation as doing what he is told and not taking those risks that Jade does, that may put his life in danger. Him and Jade are good friends.

Magic and Artifice: He knows level 1 magic and artifice, and wishes to learn level 2 for each. He also wishes to learn cultural and military history.

3. Christopher Lemmon
Age:18
Description: The bad guy of the group. He tends to pick on smaller kids and he enoys messing with Jade's head. These two are rivals when it comes to magic and often get into fights. He is very muscular and tall, but that is to make up for his slower ability to learn magic. He ignores James most of the time.

Magic and Artifice: He knows level 2 magic and artifice and wishes to learn level 3 for each. He also wants to learn 1-to-1 combat, and construction and architechure.

*money is wired with this message.*

Your students are accepted, Euroslavia, but we also require the following information for each of them:
What type of environment they were born in.
What type of weapon and what era of 1-1 combat they want to learn
Where they want the military history of
and where they want the archetecture from and what time period they want it from.

Please send this information and the Skyship Kayla will be along to pick up the students.
(OOC: Any more applications will be picked up tommorow (RL time), the Skyship has departed and is now picking up the students.)

"Ah, Commander Grevin-El-Vec, how have you been?"

"Great, just great..."

"I'm dispatching to learn at the Tolarian Academy..."

"Great, just great... What courses am I taking?"

"You'll be taking the Advanced Artifice, Military Tactics, and Military History Courses..."

"Great, just great."

OOC: Whats the price for Advanced Artifice? What's the nation's time period? Total of 52,500 Nari have been sent... Bonuses will be sent after completion of courses...

OOC:
The price for Advanced artifice is 100,000 Nari. Nari= 3 USD, being a solid gold coin about two inches in diameter. Our nation is semi-medieval, with some touches that might classify as sci-fi, such as the skyships, ray cannons, and powerstone equipment.

OOC: It's really fantasy though isn't it? The 100,000 Nari have been sent... And did I spell Commander Grevin-El-Vec's name right? I haven't played MAGIC in a while... :oops:

All three were born into a small town who rejects anyone who uses magic They were born with this special ability and before they grew to dislike each other, they used to train with each other in secret.
Jade: weapon: staff

Era: modern
Everything (architecture & history) are from the medieval times.

OOC: Ues, its really really fantasy :D. Anyway, I think (I havent read Invasion in a while) that El or Il Vec, Kor, or Dal were the Rathi who openly sided with Yawgmoth, or something like that. But hey, I dont mind :P

IC: Over each nations scedualed point a ship appears, floating in the air, a short while later, it sets down, and picks up the students, the floats back up into the air, shimmers a bit, and vanishes. Soon all the students are aboard, and the ship is flying toward Tolaria.

ooC: I know very little about the MTG universe, although at some point I owned some of those cards... the captions look interesting so I may invest some time in reading a book or two.

IC: Although the Esamopian government does not officially support heretical "magic" we are willing to sponsor a few students, as it may help us in the future...

Anyway:

James Patterson:

19 years of age, limited experience with magic, seems to have had great potential with fire spells but has not had much ability to train or develop his skills due to charges of heresy and constant monitoring. Seems to have an easy going personality though at times mysterious and often completely enigmatic. Able to get along with peers, though does not have many close friends, hoping to use this opportunity to get away from Esamopia and work on his fireballs!

James was born in the town of Dresdin, a small area located on the way up to the famous Mount Esam.

Martin Schnogawer:

7 years old, unusally short yet incredibly intelligent child. Cannot interact well with other children his age, due to his magical abilities and great intellect. He was orphaned at an early age due to a tragic "car accident" that claimed the life of his parents (although some suspect that the government wished to gain custody of the child... by any means necessary.) At any rate, Martin looks forward to the challenge ahead and is quite intrigued by the interesting temporal properties of the island.
He was born in the impoverished and swamp filled province of JeiJei.

Suzetta Mossachio:

16 years old, very energetic and sometimes immature teenager. Her fascination with marine life causes her to spend long hours at the local acquarium, but otherwise she is the "normal" one from the group being sent. Doing relatively well academically, she has dreams of being a marine biologist but she is willing to put off her plans for a while as this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was presented to her. Her experience with magic is quite extensive, as she can already create water spells, but she appears to have no intentions of using her powers offensively.
Born in Esamopia City located near the Esamic Ocean.

The government will pay the funds necessary for their education, and will send funds immediately after discovering what classes they will be placed in.

Will be placed in a red mana specifc class, if you desire him to learn magic, but if you only want him to learn Artifice, that can be arranged, the classess for Artifice and Magic are located speratly, for just such reasons. Suggest Magic level 3 and Artifice level 1


Martin Schnogawer:

7 years old, unusally short yet incredibly intelligent child. Cannot interact well with other children his age, due to his magical abilities and great intellect. He was orphaned at an early age due to a tragic "car accident" that claimed the life of his parents (although some suspect that the government wished to gain custody of the child... by any means necessary.) At any rate, Martin looks forward to the challenge ahead and is quite intrigued by the interesting temporal properties of the island.
He was born in the impoverished and swamp filled province of JeiJei.
Will be trained in a black mana specific class, learning spells that affect peoples minds, and life force. Althought we strongly suggest moving him to another color, since black mana has a VERY strong corrupting effect on young peoples minds, a class in red, or blue mana, which are similar to black in many respects, but lack the corruption, is suggested. Suggest Magic level 2 and Artifice 2


Suzetta Mossachio:

16 years old, very energetic and sometimes immature teenager. Her fascination with marine life causes her to spend long hours at the local acquarium, but otherwise she is the "normal" one from the group being sent.

Her experience with magic is quite extensive, as she can already create water spells, but she appears to have no intentions of using her powers offensively.
Born in Esamopia City located near the Esamic Ocean.
Will be placed in a blue mana class, these specialize in preventing others spells and creating confusion amoung enemies, not very offensive, but can be a great hinderance to an enemy. Suggest Level 2 Magic and/or Artifice 1

Any other classess may be suggested now. Feel free to suggest changes as well.

1. Jade Mondrow
Age: 16


CHANGE HER NAME! MY CHARACTER IS ALREADY CALLED THAT AND SHE HAS ALREADY ENTERED BEFOREHAND.

I cannot change her name, as names are basicly ranks and titles to the Psi.

Well just call her JadeM or something, its not totaly unrealistic that two people on the planet should have the same name >_<

BUMP

I will change mine for simplicity....Shar. She is called Shar Redwood. I like that name better actually...

OOC:
:roll:
In any case, you guys have an hour to RP on the ship, if it so please you, otherwise, the ship has arrived and you are disembarking now.

Shar sat looking at the floor hunced over. She felt the bobbing of the ship as it cruised accross. She was not quite sure what to expect...she had received funding for this from an unknown benifactor....she did not like this one bit. But it would devolp her own talents, which she wanted desperately, the schools back in Velmora provided nothing new. She was happy that she would finally be tested and taught...but.....something was wrong...deeply wrong about the entire affair.

She wore padded leather in some places, but mainly normal clothes. It was not rich nor poor quality, it was durable and had many pouches and the lik. She had a worn backpack for which had many items within, the accasional clink of metal against metal within it.

OOC: The ship is flying...just thought I would tell you.

After Jade and the others were picked up, she began to regret signing up for this school...

I really do wanna develop my powers even more, but I'd rather not do it around other people. I just...don't want to be embarrassed in anyway, and especially since Chris is coming, that's bound to happen. Please.....please..don't let him pick on me...

HEY! shouted Chris. It's been a long time! I've been thinking of ways to embarrass you and I've got some major events planned. You better be ready for it loser! Oh yea, and if you know what's right, you'd better stay out of my way! Later reject!

i must have asked for that one.....i wanna go home... I think I should just go find somewhere to sit. It would be nice if I could find James, but I think he's probably off introducing himself to others. I wish I could be that outgoing, that would be great if someone nice maybe came up to me and started to talk to me. haha, what am i thinking, i doubt anyone would wanna do that...

The skyship begins its slow curve toward the island, dropping altitude little by little, until it finnaly sets down on the water, kicking up a spray of water. Slowly it pulls up to the dock and lowers the boarding stairs, Barrin waits near the end of the dock, along with several of the islands hired teamsters.
"Greetings, students, I am Master Mage Barrin, administrator of the academy, welcome to Dominaria and Tolaria. Right off, I am going to tell you, if you see red flags in the dirt, stay away from them, sticking any extremities over them may result in a rather painful and slow death, now, this way, your things will be picked up by the teamsters."
He sets off down the dock to the academy, which is about a mile off.

Jade and James end up meeting together as the ship landed, and walked out together.

so jade, you gonna isolate yourself from everyone again, just like our last school? you should really get to know some people. I will even introduce them to you. I hate to see you so....alone. says James.

you have no idea how hard it is to be me...i can't just walk up to someone random and talk to them...

Just at that time,

Master Mage Barin began to speak. After his first sentence, Jade and James looked at each other in a very odd manner.

Is this really a safe school to have something like that in the dirt? I wonder what it is...

After that, both Jade and James walked in silence to the academy.

OOC: Commander Grevin-El-Vec wasn't acutally sent... That was a joke... In reality a eighteen year old Elven Ranger is being sent... His name is Omnius... He's training to be a Imperial Praetor...

OOC: :P

IC:
After a brief tour of the academy, showing the great hall, where their classess are, and various popular escapes for academy students, Barrin escorts the students to their dormitory.
"Each of you has a seperate room along this hall, they are rather cramped, but spacious enough for the amount of time you'll be spending in them, remember, tommorow your classess start, so get plenty of sleep, because Urza will be here tommorow and he REALLY doesnt like it when people dont pay attention to him."
After this he points out the lavatories, and where to get water, then leaves.

OOC:
About the design of the dorm, its basicaly a circle of circles, each room being a link in a chain around the central courtyard, where there is a fountain and some benches. The rooms all lead both to the courtyard and outside.

Omnius wanders into a training field and begins to practice his swordmenship...

Shar looked around the hall, gazing at the fine worksmanship. She had never been in anywhere like this, apart from the temples in Velmora....she was amazed. So this is what Kain spoke of....he was right.....this world contrains many wonders. (Refering to when Kain was a mortal then)

She walked around slwoly looking at the place, noting other studants. She did not know quite what to say to one of them. She simply smiled if they looked her way. As she walked, her light green padded armour gave slight noise at everystep. She wore brown simple clothing where the padded armour did not cover. It was not really designed for combat...it was more of day-to-day usage. THe colours went well with her black hair and purple tattoos upon her face, which where slightly magical in nature...but not much. It just assisted the channeling process of magic.

Omnius wanders into the school's library and begins to browse the various books there...

At about six AM the bells of the school being ringing, and students begin to wake up. After the brief shuffle to dressers and mirrors they start the slow walk up the shallow hill to the great hall, inside the food is already on the table and a few servants bussle around setting out the remaining forks and knives. Barrin is sitting at the teachers table, talking with an Artifice proffersor. Urza, it seems, has not arrived yet, but this causes little worry, traveling between five worlds every day tends to wreck ones natural clock.
Barrin rises, says a few words of encouragement, and what a great time their 'in for', then sits down and begins to eat.

Omnius sits alone at a side table. He props his satchel containing food on the table and begins to eat sweet bread filled with delicious egg cream. He drinks from a bottle containing Aeliris Wine.

OOC: Character Info

Name: Omnius
Race: Elf
Age: 18
Eyes: Right Blue, Left Green
Hair: Blond
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 138 kg
Biography: Although he is the nephew of the Minister of Interior of the Five Civilized Nations, Omnius has lived a hard life. At an early age, he learned Sun Tzu's and Sun Bin's Art of War. He learned swordfighting from the Swordmaster of Ginaz Duncan Idaho and has read all the ancient classics... He has been dispatched by the King of the Five Civilized Nations to train at the Tolarian Academy and to cement relationships between the 5CN and D0minaria

Shar was impressed at the grandness of these things, and sat down to eat. She was used to rather functional nutritous meals, yet where rather bland at time. Practicality and hardship tend to be followed hand in hand to the Psi, yet the rewards where great. THis raised the question of who would spent so much money upon her to grant her access into the this school.

Shar brushed this thought to one side as she smelt the wonderful food ahead of her. She quite politely ate, using the knife and fork slightly less dexriously than she would have liked. She was used to eating with her hands, the wilderness tended not to grant you the luxury of knifes and forks.

Looking over the other candidates, she kept to herself, keeping rather shy and not starting conversation. If spoken to, she would give a rather interesting conversation, but none had spoken to her yet, as the meal had just started.

Jade gets her food and walks over to a table..and just stands there for a little, thinking about what James said. She doesn't want to be isolated in yet another school. Should she at least try and talk to someone?

yea...i might as well try. i hate eating alone..

So Jade walks to another girl named Shar and sits down next to her. She has no idea where to start, so she says "Hi there, how do you like it here?"

Shar smiled and talked charmingly, her voice was rather soft and delicate.

"I think it is superb, I have never been to a place like this before...my name is Shar by the way, nice to meet you." Shar said pleasently.

Omnius produced a photo album consisting of images from his childhood of his family and of his homeland. Already, Omnius is missing dreadfully his home and wishes that he did not have to study at the Tolarian Academy. Standing up, Omnius puts his stuff into his bag and picking up his weapons proceeds into the library, to browse the for Military Tactics, especially the books of Military Tactics, a Treatise on Warfare by Lance Crusade and the Acturian Tactics.

Shar smiled and talked charmingly, her voice was rather soft and delicate.

"I think it is superb, I have never been to a place like this before...my name is Shar by the way, nice to meet you." Shar said pleasently.

"Nice to meet you too" says Jade. "This place kinda looks creepy, but in the same way, I like it. I hope that the others are as serious as I am about learning these things. But anyways, what classes are you taking? Maybe we have some together."

"I am currently taking level three magic and one-on-one combat using the scimiter. Someone saw it that I would be sent here for more education...so here I am. Kind of odd really, I do not know anyone who would fund me....anyway, what classes are you taking Jade?" Shar asked in return

"I am currently taking level three magic and one-on-one combat using the scimiter. Someone saw it that I would be sent here for more education...so here I am. Kind of odd really, I do not know anyone who would fund me....anyway, what classes are you taking Jade?" Shar asked in return

"I am also taking level 3 magic and 1-on-1 combat with a staff. I went through the same thing. I don't know who got the money for me to come here, but I guess someone thinks that i have high potential." replies Jade. There is a brief silence. But 2 minutes later..

"This food is really good!" as Jade giggles out loud.

"Better than some of the things I have had.....where do you come from? I have hardly been outside of my homeplace, Velmora. Not many Psi's do." Shar said slightly sadly.

"Better than some of the things I have had.....where do you come from? I have hardly been outside of my homeplace, Velmora. Not many Psi's do." Shar said slightly sadly.

"I'm from a small town in Euroslavia called Obelinsk. Only a couple hundred people live there. They didn't like the fact that I practiced magic so they planned on banishing me from that city. All those people who live there forced the few with talents to use magic underground. That's how I know Chris and James, but Chris went his separate way to the dark side of magic. I haven't really gotten outside of that town, so this is definitely an experience for me. It's good to meet people with similar abilities and pasts. "

"What did the people of Velmora think about you when they found out you were a psi?" mentioned Jade.

Barrin moves amoung the students, quietly encouraging the homesick ones, and doing his best to reasure them that the last monsters on the island died quite some time ago. After a few more reassurancees, he mutters something and his voice suddenly booms out though the great hall.
"All right, everybody, time for class, its seven thirty, tommorow class starts at seven, so consider yourselves warned. All students will now head to their first class of the day!

OOC:

I haven't really gotten outside of that town, so this is definitely an experience for me. It's good to meet people with similar abilities and pasts. "

"What did the people of Velmora think about you when they found out you were a psi?" mentioned Jade.

Shar smiled at her mistake. "A Psi is the name for the Velmorian people. All people are gifted with magic from birth, it was just that I was slightly more talented I guess. Magic is part of life to the Psi, but some of our spells require the earth's strength. This does damage it....but we always heal it in good time. It is a total crime to allow the earth to remain scarred, we always ask the earth permission. It is kind of hard to explain, but basicly we use some of the earth's lifeforce in some of our spells, the more potent ones." Shar explained.

She heard barrin and finished her meal. She checked that she had everything and waited for Jade to get up for her lesson.
