Ah, I am totally sorry DMG for doing it, I wasn't thinking,I'll edit my post, I am still finding my ropes, so please don't be too harsh.

well :) whatever DMG comes up with; heres all your chance for Rei to utterly scare the crap out of everyone.

Well, I don't like being harsh, but I feel this could be a good RP and a good series of RPs that branch off of that. However, in order for that to happen, we need to adhere to the rules of the thread (HP), the rules of etiquette, and the rules of good writing.

This means keep stuff legit.
Don't post every two seconds and read others posts before making your own.
And write good posts - take your time; put in some detail; write more than two lines; and spell/grammar check it.

This is not just directed at you.

Oh... were you waiting on me to do something before Rei freaked and popped all of my balloons?

There is a link to the list of spells on the 2nd post of this thread, but yes a little description couldn't hurt (and it'll add to the length and descriptive quality of your posts).

Ah, gracias, never saw that...

Ooh... yes, sir...? ma'am?

err.. Right away.

I guess, is Rei violence prone, how does she live around her family then? :p

I guess, is Rei violence prone, how does she live around her family then? :p

Not really; she's qute easy going; but her Elemental powers are emotionally driver and when people start hurting her friends she gets ANGRY which means her power quickly takes control of HER not her in control of IT and that leads to some very very bad things :) so she has to burn off her excess magic to get control of it again; and she really dosn't want to hurt anyone on her first day back as a fifth year

I guess, is Rei violence prone, how does she live around her family then? :p

I don't know, my character is somewhat prone to losing it too though :D but she's more expiramental with what she can do, as a non-magical blood person.

Pssh... I think my character wins the "laid back" and "experimental" awards.

:) yeah but I just "insta cooked" some poor Doves ^^

I have decided that since Scand has given me leeway to create spells, I am going to make Vex the same way. He's gonna have a bunch of random spells that nobody has seen - most of which aren't powerful offensive ones - and a bunch that'll blow up in your face if you try to use them. :p

lol, I didn't even see that post where you asked for something big to do. Probably was a timewarp...

Yah :) hopefully I can get a bit of Leeway with Rei's stuff too; after all she's been training with her speciality powers since she was 4 and it really makes the story quite interesting if everyone has there own unique traits - yeah prolly got lost in there *kicks Jolt* do you really want to argue with the girl with the large boobs?

lol, read the post and find out - I think we're on the same brain wave here.


Yeah, the unique power thing is kind of an interesting idea - though perhaps it wouldn't always be powers, but rather just a "unique" trait. Like for Rei she has her lightning and stuff or whatever, Vex has his creating spells, someone else has their martial arts, etc. But, whatever... it could just be accepted as magical powers manifesting themselves (in non-wand controlled and organized manners). Up to Scand.

watching america's got talent so i might not be on much in this hour

Harry's got an uncanny ability he inherited from his mother to read minds, and from his father, his counterhex's are quite powerful, which both will grow in time, and Harry can do a non verbal lighting bolt shove spell (Think a lot stronger "Expeliarmus")

Lightning bolt shove spell? If a lightning bolt hit a person, I think it'd do a bit worse than shove him. Not to mention that expelliarmus has nothing to do with shoving or lightning... it disarms the opponent.

Remember though, this was just an idea that Scand has to think about and rule on first... so don't get ahead of yourselves.

Crap. I've been busy, so I've missed alot. Anyone care to tell me where we're at right now?

Well, found a few moments where I can post, but not for long. If I suddenly disappear, assume I'm gone for awhile, alright?

a lightning bolt is a big feck off bolt of electricity...its going to do a bit more than just "lightly Shove" bare in mind Rei was afraid of killing people accidently if she used her full lightning power as for the mind reading thing...Rei has "issues" with telepaths but :) you'll find that out later if you keep trying to poke around in her head. insdie the head of a dream mage is not somewhere you want to be when she can turn your favourite dreams into your worst nightmares.

Ah, sorry Ani, I meant a fatal lightning bolt attack!, Harry won't try to poke around in Rei's head, first I might remove that ability, second Harry want's to be friends with Rei!

Then Rei could probably help you with that like the one she did on the cieling to try and get people to stop fighting but it all depends on what Scand allows so lets not get to far ahead of ourselves; as for the comment about poking around :) that was pure OOC; Icly at the moment Rei is quite friendly and wants both of her new friends to get on. probably going to have to wrap up something for a bit until AB replies with Nic on if she's coming with us to get the food; I don't want to go to far ahead without AB

Anyway, yea, coming in late I couldn't think of really any other way off the top of my head to introduce my character ...

"Uh, sure. I'm Vex... Vex'til, but call me whatever is easier," he introduced politely before daring to ask, "Say... are you new here?"

Say, DMG, is Vex talking to my man here?

Don't think so. I am talking to NI's guy who came over and introduced himself. You are sitting at the end of the table by yourself if I am not mistaken.

can I join into your guys conversation?

Question, Scand:
How do you want it all to work with teachers and classes?To point out the reall way we are going to do classes is that I will make posts about their studies. As for the grades will be given by me based on tests I give randomly.

Yeah, I sent her down saying she went to the commons first before coming down; she took a seat near y'alls table.

As for specialty things, I don't think we should go over the top here...or at least, if your character uses speciality stuff, make it either a) like DMG's, so that it's not ZOMG UBER, or b) make it so it's either singular or it's got faults, like with my character's unstable flux of emotional state.

Aight, sounds good. I assume you will either be giving those tests for "Deemed Worthy" classes soon or creating a new thread for them?

Rei's a little bit of both really; her Big Illusions are just that and purely visual; her Glamours while more "real" are smaller; if she wants to do a big Glamour it would drain her big time; for example she could Glamour someone burning to death if she so wished but glamouring a T-Rex running through the school would take more out of her and they last as long as she's awake. her Elemental Powers However are driven by her emotions like Nic; so when she has an emotional surge of anger specifically it her rage fuels her magic which can cause it to runaway from her control. Her Dream powers have no effect in the physical universe but it gives her the power to enter someones dreams and alter them to her will but this takes great concertration and meditation and preperation with spell seals and books and stuff. its not something she can just do off hand. So Rei has lots small skills; a few medium skills and one or two big ones that all balance with each other and the world so she's not "OMG UBER" and her big skills all have negative effects on her and like DMG if anyone else tried to use her specalist magic it would not be good for them unless she was specifically guiding them. plus she has the general magic skills of a fifth year.

Alex's speciality is in counter-spells and Fire based attacks. His style comes mostly from his Mother who is a Deulling expert, so he knows some fairly powerful attacks although he has yet to reach the level where he can use them to their full advantage. Weaknesses are mostly physical, for example, he has a large scar on his left leg from a fight near his home and while, he can stand on it, it would be a major target for an enemy. Large amounts of spells can tire him though, especially continious spells.

Anybody mind if I make upa few unique spells? Not all powerful of course but just to set him apart a bit.

Do we have NPC and will classes be on different threads

I personally wouldn't have an issue with unique spells but you'd have to ask Scan or DMG...

As for my own character, her magic is, besides her own manipulation of atmosphere, below most of fourth year's. Good worker and willing to learn, but not naturally gifted, as she hasn't been studying magic since age 4 or however long, she's been in the real world instead. Tough physical fighter, but not the best in spells, curses, whatever.

Check TGs, AB.

God... gone for the morning and I have four pages to read.

@Ani: I probably said it wrong. If other people tried to use my spells, they probably wouldn't work because they don't know how to use them (how to say them, what movement of the wand, etc.), but they could learn. My comment about ones that would just explode is more about Vex having experimented quite a bit and ended up creating some that don't work so well (and thus just backfire, etc.) He keeps them written down with the others in case someone tries to steal them (and then bam! to that person when they use the wrong one).

@Alversia: A scar on his leg is a weakness? Why would anyone target his leg even if it was weak? If a spell makes contact, it won't really matter where (to some degree), but the chest or head would still be an easier target and more potent result.

Also, about making up spells - the short answer is no. You can suggest them to Scand and he can take them into consideration (like if you want to point out some spells that are in HP, but not here yet, or make up some of your own). He'd have to think about them and make a decision.

@DGC: I believe Scand adressed that here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12885000&postcount=290)...

sorry what about NPCs

sorry what about NPCs

I am sure it'd be fine to RP some NPC kids. Not sure about teachers, so I'd leave that up to Scand to decide, but I doubt there will be any problem with you introducing other kid NPCs.

He closed the distance between them surprisingly quickly and hurridly introduced himself to Rei, Nicole, and Vex. "I am Faistian. I am pretty new to this school, as undoubtly you are as well. I have never seen any of you before."

Undoubtedly new? Why would someone assume that, especially when looking at people who are sixteen? I know it's just an IC comment, but they aren't new.

To the school? I assumed that we were RPing just enrolling into the school, otherwise woulden't we of known our houses before hand?

Woh... you missed A LOT... both in OOC talk and logical progression.

That thread - "The Placing" - was necessary in order to ICly determine our houses. However, as mentioned and questioned on several levels at numerous times, all of those placings by the book were not taking place at the same time. Some people's - i.e. anyone who is not a first year (or transfer) - were mere flashbacks or past events.

Thus, most of us aren't actually first years or new to the school. The people you are addressing are fifteen or sixteen making them in their fourth or fifth years - meaning the latter part of their education, not the beginning.

If you want, I'll give you the chance of editing your post before I respond.

Astro says: "Ruh roh!"

"Encontego!" he cried, using his wand to draw a spell-protecting wall around him.

Ummm... I believe this is the third time I am saying this. Encontego is a spell that Vex created. He created it fairly recently and has used it very little. More to the point, he has not taught anyone how to use it or let them read his journal where he created it... thus, nobody knows how to properly pronounce the incantation, make the proper wand movement, and create the desired effect.

@Scand: Are there Unforgivable Curses like in HP that people aren't supposed to do?

Alright. I suppose I made my character a bit old. I suppose I can edit, in a while.

And AB you have a TG.

Replied, Carlo.

@Scand: Are there Unforgivable Curses like in HP that people aren't supposed to do?The only ones are the Velos Nex and Intereo Sensim curses due to the fact the Velox Nex curse is nearly untraceable and causes a horrible death and the Intereo Sensim curse is essentially being tortured to death.

Because now if someone is reading HP7, they will be thinking about Neville the whole time...

Because now if someone is reading HP7, they will be thinking about Neville the whole time...What, I do not even have the book, least have I even have any idea of the plot. I was making refernce tot he first Harry Potter book in which Neville was brave enough to try and stop them. Having inner good that makes them a fairly good at standing up for what the believe, well it did get Gryffindor the points to beat Slytherin.

I already read the summary on wiki, so I kinda cheated there :p I know what you're referring to, though, though I don't know if my character's the best candidate for that.What the heck are you guys refering to I have not read spoilers or the book.;)

Night out with the boys ... no sleep ... headache ... headache ...

So, what's been happening?

I don't really care what happens in the hallway...want to get attacked?

It would be rather ironic after we had both said it wouldn't happen ... :eek: how shocking!

Well, we are allowed to create NPCs ... and no, Alversia, I wouldn't mind if you jumped in, how about you Ravea?

Other than that, I'd say it's time for a good, ol'-fashioned magical brawl :D

So, in a dumbed-down sense, we can make up Kid #1 and Kid #2, but not George Frank? Not trying to be sarcastic, just trying to understand it a little bit.

Are there House Colors at all, or anything that students wear to identify which House they belong to?

So I finished HP7 at 4:45 AM, EST, and I have to say, I thought it was a damn good read.

Of course, this means I am tired once more.

And then my computer decides it doesn't know what the hell www.nationstates.net is! wtf compy? I thought we were friends, you traitorous machine!

Well, as you can tell I finally got on (at freakin 11 at night ...), and I do like Corinthian Marble ...

Are sign-ups still open...?Sure.:p

Name: Sibeoci Sereri (it's not my fault; he's just too interesting of a character...)
Age: 12 or 13 (he doesn't know)
Parentage:True Pureblood (but nobody knows it except the auror. Everyone assumes he is Muggle-born)
House: None yet
Height: 5'6
Eye Color: Yellow
Hair Color: Black
Skin Tone: Chalk/paper white
Build: Waifish
Traits: Sibeoci is insanely insecure. His ability to doubt himself and find reasons to poke holes in any course of action almost paralyzes him. However, this does him an amazing ability to poke holes in OTHER people’s plans. Though very good and pure at heart, he distrusts others, has difficult expressing his emotions, has a low self-esteem and self-image, has difficult forming health relationships, feels angry, anxious, depressed, isolated, and unlovable, no doubt as a result of his traumatic childhood. He cannot take himself seriously but he can't have fun in anything. He often overreacts to changes he has no control over, tries to guess what "normal" behavior, often lies when it is just as easy to tell the truth, has difficult following a project from beginning to end, and is constantly seeking approval and affirmation. In addition, he has extreme loyalty even when that loyalty is not deserved and suffers from impulsivity. He tends to lock them into a course of action without giving serious consideration to alternative behaviors or possible consequences. This impulsivity leads to confusion, self-loathing and loss of control over his environment. In addition, he spends an excessive amount of energy cleaning up the mess. He is obsessively responsible and irresponsible at times. Most of these negative effects unsurprisingly are remnants of his traumatic childhood.
Classes:Charms, Restoration, Jinxing, Potions, Transfiguration, Curses (if deemed worthy), Defensive Magics, Magical History, Unknown Magics Studies (if deemed worthy), World Beyond Studies (if deemed worthy)
Biography: Sibeoci Sereri doesn't remember where he comes from for the most part. His earliest memories are on Japan but his name clearly suggests an ancestry that was not Japanese. He expressed magical talent early at an age in a position that required it. Sibeoci never remember having parents, or in fact, any relatives. Somehow, he fell into Enjo kōsai (援助交際) when he was about eight to ten. Enjo kōsai is defined literally as "supported dating", but most western observers consider into enjo kōsai Japanese child prostitution. Early at an age, he acquired a magical ability. As a young boy, he was able to express skill in transfiguration by literally changing his gender at will whenever he felt like it. This gave him an added advantage in the horrible business he was in and probably kept him from starving. This constant transfiguration may have had an adverse effect on his physical development. He is male and considers himself such, but unfortunately for him, looks like a female in almost every aspect. His life took a huge upturn when an auror, who had to come to Japan to chase down dark wizards (who were using enjo kōsai as a way to help fund themselves), came upon Sibeoci. He was able to defeat the dark wizards and than destroy the enjo kōsai ring. Impressed by Sibeoci's magical skill and also disgusted by the business of Enjo kōsai, he took Sibeoci with him when he left the country. He has stopped using that particular discipline of transfiguration ever since. There was also another reason...regardless, Sibeoci found himself quickly enrolled in the School of Wizarding when the auror found that he had never even gone to school before. Though Sibeoci did not want to be separated from the auror, he didn't want to be a burden on her and agreed out of gratefulness. He technically wasn't orphaned until he around 12. His parents actually ran the Enjo kōsai syndicate and were both powerful dark wizards. They placed him in there because they felt it would traumatize him to a point where he would shed his compassion and kindness and become just like them. However, that amazingly did not happen. They were killed by the auror that sent him to school. Of course, he doesn't know this.

The New Year Begins, The First School RP:
http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=12883465#post12883465

One thing to note as this is a magical world one can use spells to remember things about their past, even if they be forgotten. Though this has to be performed by a highly skilled wizard or witch, which luckly is aviable at this school. As well, if you want we can do a little rp in the The New Year Begins thread with a teacher from the school, if you do not want to know about your ancestry by this they could also have found out more due to their own reasearch. To point also there are pure blood radicals who would distort the truth and tell him he is a pure blood and would simply blame it on non-magical persons in order to recurit them to their cause by the use of making him think non-magics are not even human and thus not worthy of live, which includes anyone who has the blood of a non-magic flowing through them.

So I finished HP7 at 4:45 AM, EST, and I have to say, I thought it was a damn good read.

Of course, this means I am tired once more.

And then my computer decides it doesn't know what the hell www.nationstates.net is! wtf compy? I thought we were friends, you traitorous machine!

Well, as you can tell I finally got on (at freakin 11 at night ...), and I do like Corinthian Marble ...You should put water on your computer, that always gets mine to work, abeit the screen is blank.;)

I'd like to create a character, if that's alright.

Name: Miles Stanley
Age: 16
Year: 5th Year
Lineage: Half-blood (magic father, non-magic mother)
Blood View: He sets himself firmly against the pure-blood fanatics because he believes that your parents don't make you who you are, it is your actions that define your worth.
Parentage: Father: Albert Vilas (pure-blood and one of the most accomplished duelists in the world)
Mother: Angela Vilas (non-magic and is a professional treasure hunter [think Lara Croft])
Height: 6'0"
Eye Color: Grey
Hair Color: Brown
Skin: White-Tanned
Build: Athletic and muscular

Traits: Magic by birth, exceptional magical skill, generous, selfless, exudes a positive personality, brave, courageous, intelligent, excellent sense of humor and has been known to play numerous practical jokes on people.
Personality: Miles has a very open personality and makes friends easily. He is not much of a studier and prefers to spend time joking around instead. He has an extraordinary natural affinity for magic as he is able to grasp concepts and spells easier than almost anyone in the school and integrate them into his repertoire of knowledge.

Biography: Miles Stanley was born and raised in Dover with his parents Albert and Angela. Albert began to teach Miles magic beginning as soon as he could talk, around the age of three. His instruction then was simple, just a matter of teaching young Miles incantations in a way so that when he was older, they could move on to much more advanced magic.

At the age of eight, Miles received his first training wand which was capable of performing most spells with the exception of curses and healing spells. It was at this point when his training began in earnest. Albert would teach Miles the fine points of spell casting, dueling, and how to harness his magical powers so that he was always in control.

Miles' mother Angela is a professional treasure hunter but while she was home, she instructed Miles in the ways of the the non-magic world and also taught him various non-magic survival techniques and also several forms of hand to hand combat. In addition to this, she also taught Miles to value the lives of others above his own and that if he had the chance he should always stand up for what he believes to be right.

At the age of eleven, Miles received his first true wand. It was elder, twelve inches and containing the heartstring of a dragon. It was at this point that Miles began his dueling training under his father's watchful eye. He was enrolled in magic school at the age of twelve and is now entering his fifth year of training and well on his way to becoming one of the brightest students to ever walk through the doors of his wizarding institution.

Magic Ability: Considered one of the brightest pupils in the school, Miles' magical ability is equaled by only a couple of students, one of which being Vex'til Lockhart. Miles is very skilled at dueling as he was taught by his father and already shows signs of surpassing his father's skill magically before he exits school. In particular, Miles shows particular aptitude in the areas of defensive and offensive spells and has achieved the non-verbal wand ability and is very close to achieving the non-verbal hand gestures ability.

Classes: TBD

lol, thanks for the tip-o'-the-hat at Vex, Beta :p

No problem, I kinda hoped that our characters could develop a friendship. I figured that they would at least be acquaintances given their similar views and status as extremely accomplished students.

Aye, it could happen.

Just to note though, while Vex has shown early that he is accomplished (like passing all three tests better than anyone in two years, or that he has the ability to create spells), he's not the kind of guy that professes to know all the answers or be the best at any thing (not to say that he isn't, but he is no Hermione Granger raising her hand every five seconds). As is his attitude in general, when it comes to his status or abilities he is pretty laid back.

Tommorrow I am going on a one week vacation and will not be able to post much, if at all. Though I will launch a series of threads to keep you guys busy.:D One note, unless DMG can handle everything I will need another assistant mod.

I would volunteer myself, but I'm notoriously sketchy meself, so I guess I'd actually have to non-volunteer myself ...

Also, sorry for no post in 2 days: busy.

Depends on what you mean by everything. If it is just OOC stuff you want me to handle, then that is fine.

However, if you want me to do IC stuff to, then maybe yeah.

I'd like to create a character, if that's alright.

Classes: TBDA little braggy saying he is one of the most gifted students in the school as I am notorious for making people test themselbes here, which means I create students who are just naturally better at magic then you and you cannot defeat them even though you are a gifted mentally.:p Also, you are accepted.

Depends on what you mean by everything. If it is just OOC stuff you want me to handle, then that is fine.

However, if you want me to do IC stuff to, then maybe yeah.If you can take care of OOC I would be grateful, the only things that need to be clear is that killing spells depend on one's power and will to do it, that without the actual mind set to use a spell it will be ineffective, killing spells can be deflected and although cannot be aimed back at their caster due to their nature, do not make any rulings on potions, do not allow people to go against things I say, do not accept any new persons till I get back, you are able to use common sense to correct people if there is not current predent, and do not allow people to make new people(people with names and if they say they attack a Draco for example it is okay as long as they do not have a specfic name).

Aye, I was going to say something along those lines (i.e. that you might not be that accepting of what he wrote), but I decided to just let you deal with it :p

After thinking it over for a little bit, for a week I can (I assure you) be reliable if DMG truly does need help in moderating the RP. I'm not sure what direction the IC threads will be moving in, but I can help with some things if DMG gets overwhelmed.

Of course, this is completely up to both The Scandinvans and DMG ...

I can help out if need be; its pretty much a common sense job :) but NI gets first crack if theres a job to be going since he asked first

Thanks Animarnia.

Also, I've got to be going in about ten-fifteen minutes, but I'll be back within an hour, so don't be surprised if I don't get off another post.

Just a quick public question ...

Seeing as there's a thread for the Pure Blood Fanatics who want to continue the Blood War, shouldn't there also be a thread for those resisting them, a la Order of the Phoenix?

Seeing as The Scandinvans has taken leave, perhaps we could vote on this, or maybe DMG could try and instate it to the best of his ability? It just struck me as something that could help get the "Other Side" of things going (things Outside of the Academy)

Let's see...
A) Interesting idea
B) Seeing as Scand hasn't left yet, I'll leave this up to him.
C) He said he'd be creating some threads to keep us going while he is away for a week, so that could be one of them.
D) While the Order of the Phoenix was never out of existence, I am sure during the years that Voldemort was gone it was much less active... and it took some major events (i.e. the return of Voldemort to flesh) to get it going again. Just some food for thought seeing as the Fanatics haven't done anything yet.

I was actually thinking the same thing; though I'm still paying with the idea of having "Uncle Justin" one of Rei's relative a DARK Wizard Pure Blood fanatic

I'm still toying with the idea of how I want Elario to come out, although I know I want him to, in the end at least, develop into a kind of "yielding hero,": not liking what he's been called on to do, or wanting to do it, but still going ahead all the same because it's the right thing.

Still, I've already mentioned that his father, Nicodermo Arcano, had been a prestigious and powerful wizard, and I'd like to dive more into that. I'd also been wondering on whether or not something in his life would make him turn, brewing a Father-Son conflict-in-the-making.

Nothing's solidified yet, but that's my general idea for now ...

Thank you for supporting the idea. As you mentioned in your last point though, I guess you're right. All I was saying was that, since there's one group for Pure Blood Fanatacism, naturally there should be one opposing it.

Still, all the same: perhaps Scand will, perhaps he won't.

I am fully prepared to have my character be beaten numerous times throughout this RP. I may have had a poor choice of wording when I said he was on of the most gifted in the school, I was simply trying to show that my character is an above average magical student.

Alright, here is how: "Roar! My character is LePimp."

Alright ... that was ... well, what the French would call a certain ... I Don't Know What ...

OOC: There acutally is no real language used to write seals as let us think of everything requiring a certain amount of energy in order to act as such. Let us if you want a sort of seal that can kill people you would have to murder someone in a complicated set of spells which will bound the murderous energy that will allow the spell to stick. Further, spells can be overcome by a skillful magic user he simply reverses the spells due to them using more power to break the seal as they being more skilled and powerful can break the seal. As well, seals are genrally quite powerful, but can be broken if they are left alone for a long period of time due to the energies slowly fading over time.

Replied here to avoid OOC Clutter in the IC Thread :P; I know theres no real launguage for seals; Seals are generally pictorial; I was just giving a discription of so people have an idea of what they look like if I said a mash of Oritental looking symbols its far less...naratively fluid ^^; and your absolutely right about Seal being breakable by a tallented and powerful witch of Wizard which is exactly why I used them; the Seals arn't killing ones though; they're just things to add abilitys to the sword; I'll get more indepth as Rei explores as I'd rather not spoil ;)

I'm sorry if it seemed otherwise, that was not my intention.

Scand; can me and VT do a closed RP for our two characters in a seperate thread? we have something sorta planed between us..if this controvenese some kind of mod policy then we won't but we wanted to do some kind of dream verse profercy type gig

I'm assuming the "Stories of the Past" thread will only be about Family History and such, and will not contain character interaction ...


Am I right?

Good bye, and New Italy is a mode till I get back.

hey, I was gone at my uncle's house and he didn't have the internet

Rawr! The Reign of DMG has begun... Bow Down!!!

Jesus this moves fast....Don't any of you people have jobs, like I do?

My guy doesn't like talking about his past-he's really Prince Ryan Getzlaf. But y'all don't know that. When his dad dies, he'll be the monarch for the Getzlaf family, as there's four different families. Which means if he dies, there will be a huge uproar in the VDB.

Didn't he mention ICly that he will some day rule his country?

OOC: I believe this is for people outside of the school, so say, your student's parents.

Aye, I believe that to be true too. However, if a war breaks out, then I suppose they may let some of the kids in too (or at least in some role) like the Order of the Phoenix.

@Scand: Teehee... you wrote "tits" in the opening of the Eagle's Army :p
Btw, what's up with the new thread about School Days? Are we moving further discussion from The New Year into that?

I know you are already gone, so when you return, I'll make a list of things that I need you to address or confirm.

Jesus this moves fast....Don't any of you people have jobs, like I do?

Aye, I just got back from mine about an hour ago and have been reading to catch up from last night.

Jesus this moves fast....Don't any of you people have jobs, like I do?

Different time zones

@Scand- Remember when I said that some MOPS officers will come to the school?

When do you want to come?

BTW, i'll start the thread, if that's ok with you. if not, i'll TG you with the details

Since my girl's non-magic lineage, even though she fits the mentality mold her side naturally won't be involved with either branch of "army"...yet...

I imagine that, by the outbreak of the War, everyone will have shifted away from the Grey aspect. It's all just a matter of how and why.

KEEP THE DAMN OOC COMMENTS OUT OF THE IC THREAD.

@Nueve Italia: The spells fired, as far as he knew at that moment, all were stunning spells. Also, as I have stated before, Encontego was a spell just recently created by Vex and has only been used once or twice; it hasn't been taught or the information on it given to anyone. However, I will let this little transgression pass because this particular teacher was witness to it when he (and Vex) broke up the fight. Let's not make a habit out of it tho - especially not ignoring when I say this for the 5th time.

@New Brittonia: I don't know why your character is there either seeing as Defensive Magics and Potions are going on at the same time - and the teacher just stated that her other class was in the afternoon, not next period.

Sorry for the confusion, however, considering he's a teacher with a much larger grasp of magic than the students, can we (now) assume that the spell wasn't exactly the Encontego used by Vex, but instead some other type of Wall Shield? It doesn't seem too far of a stretch of the imagination, especially considering that not every spell is listed in the Spells Thread: just the ones that the students should know.

Also, something goes awry with every spell in the class, wouldn't it be obvious that something happened to make such a situation? Wind doesn't move spells, and wind surely wouldn't even be a factor inside the castle. Seeing as everyone was performing (well, at least mostly everyone) the spell at a satisfactory level, wouldn't it seem odd that all of a sudden everyone missed and fired at this one person? The natural assumption would be that something (or someone) caused the Stunning Spells to move.

I know, I know, I should have added that to the IC thread, but my brain was fried and I was pressed for time, my bad. If you like, I can edit the post to make it fit better now that I have some time.

Also, think of it: one of the Professor's students was nearly severly injured. Wouldn't you lose your cool just a tad bit and, perhaps, flip out even if it's not entirely justififed? Once again, if needed, I can edit my post to take all these things into account. I didn't mean to cause confusion, many apologies.

To resolve it, let's stick to the mainstream spells listed by Scan. Not like the kids are gonna know 'em all by this point, and plus, that way we don't get into conflicting viewpoints over whose spell is whose.

I would have no problem with you - or anyone else - saying something along the lines of: "The teacher flicked his wrist and created a powerful shield around the student." It's just that I had said four times already that nobody really knows this spell yet. You don't have to edit it, I am just getting tired of saying this.

And my first point about the stunning spells wasn't really a big deal to me - I just thought I'd note it. I already thought of those counter-arguments and merely was wishing to give it a little clarity.

Alrighty, no harm meant, no harm done, although I did edit it anyway ... no problem. And I'll stay away from Encontego in the future. I promise ;)

I wasn't actually meaning for my professor to drag Rafzekael out, but Void Templar interpreted it as such...so I guess it's ok...

Oh! Alright, well, look at it this way: adds more depth to what's going on, right?

Now you tell me :rolleyes:

OOC: My post would make so much more sense right after Nueve Italia's post right after this. To make it less confusing, we can just assume that this post is right after his post, not right before, so just act like Sibeoci came in after Elario mentioned lunch and post as normal.

Umm... you can simply delete your post before it and place it where you just wrote this.

Especially because for about the three millionth time I have to say keep OOC comments out of the IC thread.

You can't state your house yet: you need to be Sorted. Also, DMG, did Scand give you the power to approve new characters?

Professor O'Tool (Where Rei and Vex are) is currently doing the Advanced Potions class for 5th years; while Defensive magic is being taken by Greensworth and everyone else.

if you want the Basic Potions Class; wait till after "Lunch" and I'll sort out that for you guys too; so in short NB - Dante is in Defensive Magics still

so. . . my guy is 15, but he just started in the school, so is it basic potions?

Are people still posting in DM?

See the giant text you just quoted that says "Keep the Damn OOC comments out of the IC Thread"...?

Good job...

Well, if he doesn't know anything about potions, best bet would be to go to the basic potions in the afternoon.

The DM thread should only be for the testing to get into those three classes - after that, there is no need to post there.

Sry about the delay, i was working moving freezers. Did you know that they are heavy?

Well, it seems people left Defensive Magics because it is over, but they didn't head to potions... they said lunch.

However, you must remember that this is fluid time... just because we don't post that our potions class is done at the same time as DM finished IRL, doesn't mean your character could walk into our class as it begins.

oh. . . crap

I'm gonna just wing that Basic Potions is after lunch for all the people who aren't 5th year, sound good by everyone who that applies to?

Since the morning is also almost over, I'm also winging that lunch is next...

Sounds good, and even though my character is 16, he'll be in Basic Potions due to his inexperience with such things.

Sounds good :) I'm actualling likeing the Goth Potions Mistress. :D

And as for sides..Rei is offically a Neutral that fights for good; because she'll do whatever it takes to do what needs to be done; even if that means resorting to a darker shade of things

OOC: Is it too late to enter this?

OOC: Is it too late to enter this?

Nope; but you have to wait a week for Scand to get back and confirm you since he's gone on Holiday but left no with with the authority to confrim a character submision

Sounds good :) I'm actualling likeing the Goth Potions Mistress. :D

Looks like it from the way of things: she's a good character though, nice job :).

And as for sides..Rei is offically a Neutral that fights for good; because she'll do whatever it takes to do what needs to be done; even if that means resorting to a darker shade of things

So, kind of a Machiavellian: the ends justify the means?

@Ani: You have been deputized for a week.

Looks like it from the way of things: she's a good character though, nice job :). So, kind of a Machiavellian: the ends justify the means?

Yes; very much so; if her oponent has gone completely over to the dark side she'll go as far as she needs to to beat her enemy even if that means dark magic and or Killing Curses

@Ani: You have been deputized for a week.

Ok *salutes and pins on deputy badge* ooo Shney

Haha, congrats, and good choice DMG.

Just to let everyone know, I will be out for the good deal of this day, until around 10 PM EST or so, so if you expect any interaction with my character, I suggest you hold off on something too binding.

Have a good day everyone!

It looks like our two characters may have a confrontation farther down the road.

Who's the better Duelist between Alex and Kira?

A random bystander stands up: "I think Kira is superior"

Another bystander hears the comment and says "But Alex has been duelling his entire life with a professional Duellist. I think he has the edge in experience and technique"

The bystander replies with a quick "She also practices and is using her mother's wand. Kira also has determination and is stubborn and will keep trying".

Anyways, we'll see what happens.

Agreed

Ok, so ... I lied. I didn't really know how long I'd be out, but I'm back ...

Oh my god I am going to flip a shit. Do you intentionally ignore what I say in the ooc thread? Kulikovia you can't F***ing use Encontego. You can't F***ing do it.

'bit late now

If this is such a problematic issue, shouldn't there be a general Wall Shield that everyone can use?

There is a general shield... it is called Contego.

You don't exactly see a basic wall shield in HP do you? And no, if someone invents something, it shouldn't immediately be available - even in another form - to everyone. If your character was to figure out how to make a gun out of sand... not everyone should immediately be able to do it.

Umm... besides details about what happened in the classes, pretty much most people have gone through a couple (two) classes and are going to lunch now.

edit: time warped

Sorry I've been away can someone sum up for me whats happened since my last post if it's not to big a deal.

I must have alot of catching up to do as soon as Scand approves me

Precisely why I said you might want to read all of the (34 page) IC thread, plus the other small threads before he does.

Damn, is it 34 pages already? This got off fast ...

Aye, not to mention there are about twenty-five or so pages of our posts in the other threads (mainly the tests and the placing).

Alright, I am beginning the next cycle of classes... I'd say about four more potential periods, though depending on the number of classes you have signed up for in the year, that may only be one or two with a couple free periods.

I know Ani (Rei) as already indicated that she has a free period next, and I (Vex) have indicated that I have Unknown Magical Studies followed by Magical Theory and Restoration, with the last being a free period.

Feel free to use fluid time to continue what you are doing now or head off to class/free period.

Seeing as I don't think anyone else is in Unknown Magical Studies, I'll probably make it a quick class for me (1 post), and then move on... so if you want to make it a free period, that would work great.

Oh my god I am going to flip a shit. Do you intentionally ignore what I say in the ooc thread? Kulikovia you can't F***ing use Encontego. You can't F***ing do it.And you are doing a bloody good job in this thread as you are doing quite well and to note all spells have to be approved by me personally before they can be used.

And you are doing a bloody good job in this thread as you are doing quite well and to note all spells have to be approved by me personally before they can be used.

Hey, you're back!

Alright... do you want a summary and a list of things you need to address/should know about, or do you just want to read through everything and pick it up as you go?

And you are doing a bloody good job in this thread as you are doing quite well and to note all spells have to be approved by me personally before they can be used.

Hey Scand; if your at a computer; some people need aproving and house sorting; and I wanted to get your John Hancock on if its ok for Me and VT to do a "dreamscape" style RP in a closed thread?

Scand, did you have any ideas about a trips-to-hogsmeade kinda thing?

Hey, you're back!

Alright... do you want a summary and a list of things you need to address/should know about, or do you just want to read through everything and pick it up as you go?I am not back persay. though a list will be helpful as I still am on vacation and only have roughly twenty minutes left to do what I need to do before I go swimming.:p

I am not back persay. though a list will be helpful as I still am on vacation and only have roughly twenty minutes left to do what I need to do before I go swimming.:p

Err... well, I need to go back through the threads and check on things for the thread, which could take more the twenty minutes, so I don't know if it is worth it to do now, but I'll make a little list from my memory:
1) Approving of characters
2) Placing of newly-approved characters
3) Testing for pre-approved and newly-approved characters
4) Rulings on some spell thoughts, including an unnamed spell used ICly that caused everyone else's wand to fire a stunning spell on a single person.
5) Answer about what we are supposed to do in the School Days thread if we already have The New School Year thread.
6) General okaying on how we are handling the schooling (i.e. teachers, classes, schedule, etc.)

Personally So far I think things are going pretty well even though some people may have taken a bit of leeway it helped deepen the characters; that my 2 cents for what they're worth
