Oh dear that would be just slightly awkward for him I think as he's no good at those things lol.

[MageLorelei]

Yeah, she does tend to make people uncomfortable. I blame the rap music.

-Has funny scene playing in the head-

My character seems to attract all sort of attention in every RP he's in.

Hai Karz!

Romance? Sure! Sounds fun!

So, any ideas of plot, aside from the Atrium plotline?

[xmands]

Hi guys! Thanks for having me!

Name: Ariel
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Alliance: Keep
Physical Description: Ariel is slim and stands at about 5'7". She is not very strong or muscular. Her hair is straight and black, and reaches the bottom of her back. She also has sideswept bangs, and wears her hair down or frequently clips half of it up. She has large, warm, light brown eyes, arched eyebrows. Her lips are full and pigmented, and her nose is straight. She wears a dark blue tunic and dark charcoal leggings, as well as knee-high boots. Her accessories include a pair of crystal stud earrings, a band around her upper arm, and a silver trinity/rolling ring on her left pointer finger.
Personality: Ariel is a new student in the Keep that shows affinity towards both water and air magic. She is much more comfortable with animals and magical creatures, which tends to make her shy and soft-spoken. She is sweet and self-conscious, but will warm up to others over time. She is easily impressed, and is extremely eager to learn as much as she possibly can. Though smart, she has a tendency to procrastinate. She does work hard, however, but is more book smart than street smart. She is loyal and dislikes conflict amongst her companions. She is also rather non-confrontational. Slightly idealistic/romantic, she likes to believe in the best in all people. Ariel can be a bit of a worrier, and to deal with the stress this causes her, she always likes to be overly prepared. Not extremely active recreationally, she instead prefers the joys of eating and sleeping, or perhaps even curling up with a good book. Overall, Ariel is a gentle and caring person.
Magic Type/Area of Study: Primarily water but also shows proficiency with air.
Creatures: The creatures at her side most often would be a direcore, a light raiju, and an akhlut (all male, names unknown at the moment -sorry!).
Other: I don't really have a detailed back story hashed out yet, just a vague idea of her being raised by/alongside a gryphon near/on the streets of Synara City or something (so she's not a feral child hahaha). She is supposed to be a fairly new student at the Keep (and a late magic bloomer at that, I suppose, since she is 18) so I'm not sure if that's okay in this specific RP? I'm not sure she'd get recruited to join this epic group since she's not necessarily as experienced? hahaha let me know and I can tweak it

Hope this is okay!

Hi xmands!


Umm... Students are mysteriously disappearing, and slowly everyone but their creatures start to forget them.

-Has funny scene playing in the head-

My character seems to attract all sort of attention in every RP he's in.

What scene? And they have so much in common- Lorelei once half transformed herself into an Anagui... but she got better.

Shapeshifting is tricky, and when you mess up there can be very bad consequences. I once went around for a whole week with an anagui’s tail before I could fix it. I did like breathing fire though. It certainly scared several younger students. They still think I’m part dragon.

Hai xmands!

Hmm, I love the form, but like you said, I'm not sure how she'd get recruited. Since the Keep knows that the members of the baddies are all extremely powerful, almost arch-mage leveled, they probably wouldn't pick Ariel as a member. Unless, she has some special skill to counter the evil magi's magic. Perhaps she has the ability to remove the hexes? Or some other skill that would put her at an advantage, despite her lack of experience?

Umm... Students are mysteriously disappearing, and slowly everyone but their creatures start to forget them.

That would be a great idea, except then no one would notice the missing students.

[Kestrad]

Speaking of shapeshifting, there was one canon I made for Lachesis where she learned how to shapeshift at will. And by learned I mean she discovered an ancient hidden artifact that wasn't so hidden that granted her a wish, and she chose shapeshifting. My (poor, abandoned) keep story was supposed to climax with her figuring out how to turn herself into a cinersi, but it would have been the sort of "only under extreme, extreme duress and afterwards you sleep for days" sort of thing

[MageLorelei]

But their creatures start freaking out, and people notice, so quest!

Maybe Ariel sneaks along, maybe with Tyrone. Lorelei also probably treats this like a field trip, so goodness knows who she dragged along.
Or maybe Thane chose some newer magi because he knew the baddies would underestimate them?

[Foleo]

...what if the missing students are then fused with creatures to become chimeras
