Sorry. I can't provide a picture, 'cause the most fitting sphinx images...probably violate some ToS, and I'm not gonna rip off an artist's work. Name: Marash Age: 198 (equivelant of 45 human years) Sex: Female Race: Sphinx Room: 301 Concentration: Magic and spellcasting Power: Her only truely innate powers are her winged flight, and the venom in her tail. She does, however, have a learned understanding of magic, and is a skilled wizard. She only has a dozen or so spells memorized, but can also cast spells from her HUGE spellbook, though casting from the book takes a minute or two. Also, she powers her spells with her own personal energy, so her stronger spells tend to exhaust her, and if she pushes her limits, she can even injure herself. Short Bio: Marash was born to a sphinx tribe which dedicated itself to the protection of an ancient library, where she accumulated a great deal of knowledge and magical ability. After eighty years, Marash fell in love with a kind and cunning human who ventured to the library. As this love was unaccepted by her tribe, she left with her new husband, and they had several adventures before he eventually passed away of natural causes. Widowed, and exiled from her tribe, Marash sought a place for herself in the world. Given her intellect and knowledge, the most reasonable profession for her was that of a teacher. Personality: Marash is vain, proud, and arrogant, especially when it comes to intellectual matters. She is quite aware of this flaw, though while she'll admit her pride, she still acts the know-it-all. She has little tolerance for foolish or reckless behavior, especially when magic is involved. Appearance: As a sphinx, Marash has the legs, forelegs, and lower body of a lion, the wings of a falcon, a serpent-headed tail, and the upper torso and head of a human woman. By sphinx standards, she is a bit on the small side, being roughly eight feet long. Her fur is a tawny gold, while her feathers, eyes, and shoulder-length hair are all a chestnut brown. Her tail, a black-scaled viper, sometimes seems to move of its own accord, though she denies it. Other: Marash's paws do not have opposable thumbs! Thusly, almost all fine manipulation (opening doors, turning pages, writing, etc.) requires the use of magic. She has perfected a weak levitation spell for this very purpose. Whether or not this is approved, I'll likely make another character. |

i wouldn't call him extreemly limited if he cant walk into his students rooms willingly...when it really come down to it i guess i'm kinda on the fence about it ... It doesn't really matter either way just a slight preference |

I see no reason why he would not be able to enter a specific room...after all, the rooms belong to the school, not the student. however, if it was a boarding school in which the students families paid so much for a room...then would it not make sense that doing so would be renting the room, more or less? and i thought vamps couldn't enter a private residence...public structures and the like they can enter no problems... is a dorm room a private residence, like an apartment? because in that cause, doesnt it make sense that he can't enter? ((how the hell did i get to defending limiting the vamp? i was all for letting him into rooms....wow...my logic has out reasoned myself....)) |

No offense to BadWolf, neither, but I have to agree with the room restriction. It's not so much that a teacher wouldn't do it but not all vamps would be that courteous. And, with the students living out of those rooms right now, it kinda fits that it'd be a personal area where they'd have to give the okay to come in. |

I wouldn't have him go into a student's room without permission either way, but it's a bit insulting that you're forcing that restriction on him in addition to the crazy things he already can't do. |

It's not you I'm worried about... more if someone else decides they want to play a vampire differently, they might take advantage.... if there's no other vamps, then I'm okay with it |

It's just that I chose a very limited style of vampire (D&D 3.5, if anyone is curious) from the start and didn't even give him all of his abilities, and yet he's being limited further than he already is. *shrugs* I find myself somewhat irked by it. Though I can see where you're coming from when it comes to other people choosing to play vampires, but there's really no saying that someone else who chooses to play a vampire will keep to the same version of vampire as Raphael. |

Which was my point... you did well with him but, if anyone else chooses a vampire race, they won't play it the same way you do... I just don't want someone else to twist it around, is all... Unless they want the drama that came with it in the rp... merf... =( |

Well, I don't think anyone else is going to play a vampire. And if someone else does decide to play one, I don't think they're going to like having the same limitations imposed on him as have been imposed on mine. EDIT: If I need to restrict him even further, can I at least give him some of the benefits I denied him from the start? For instance, give him his mist form? There are other things that I'm still leaving out, though. Don't think you guys would appreciate it if he could make little vampire spawns by draining people's life away...

By all means Badwolf! Give him some more of his abilities! He's a teacher so he should know how to use all his abilities(that you give him) fully not like a student who's still learning. |

BadWolf, it is ultimately your decision. It was just a suggestion of mine I didn't know it would turn out to be a debate. D= I doubt we will have more vampires. My second character is half vampire, but she doesn't have normal vampire restrictions due to her other half. I think it is fine that he can enter rooms, if you wish. Since this school is in a sense a public school (as in you don't have to pay) all the rooms are owned by the school so they wouldn't really be private residencies. |

I fully agree... and since you put it that way Midnight Insanity (public school...not private[somehow had it in my head as private]) I take back my vote to restrict... |

Hrm...I say we let Badwolf do what he wants. There are about as many types of vampires as there are stary in the sky. Maybe even more. Anyway, I'm torn between filling in the last (!?) teacher slot, or creating a freshman. What say you, Midnight-sama? |

Well, it's technically both. You have to be invited, but you don't have to pay. So I'm not quite sure what'd you call that. XD More slots can be added for teachers, if needed. So don't worry about it being the last slot. I'm going to create the IC soon! |

I'll probably go with the room restriction just because it can probably allow for some amusing situations and despite what I was saying, I've never been against making my characters' lives more difficult. As for a power list, here's what I left out... - Mist Form - Fast Healing - Ability to Create Vampire Spawn (by draining someone of their blood) - Immunities to any sort of mind-affecting power as well as poisons, paralysis effects, and sleep effects. - Resistances to electricity and cold (not complete immunity, though). - Ability to drain the energy from someone by physical contact. Those are all of the ones I left out, if I remember correctly. I'm not going to allow the energy drain one or the spawning one, but the others are tempting to add. Since he's a teacher at a school for the gifted where powers might get a bit out of control, and I think I saw some poison and electricity people out there... |

All right. I'm about to take a shower. Adding those other abilites will be fine BadWolf, he is a teacher after all and can be more powerful. But before I take my shower I am going to post the profile for the Headmaster. It is simple because he is merely an NPC. I couldn't find a picture either... Name: Arther Arien Arby XXII Age: Fifty Sex: Male Race: Elemental Room: His home is attached to the school Concentration: Mastery Power: Elements. Through years of training and mastery, his family has learned to control all of the Elements. Yes, his control is more limited than if he focused on one Element, but having the control over all of them takes a lot of skill and concentration and few can do it. Short Bio: Arby, as most call him, is one of a long line of Elementals, all sharing the same name. Arther Arien Arby I started Hidden Hills, and since then each generation has taken over the control of the school once the past generation relinquishes it. Personality: Arby is kind at heart, but he wouldn't want to show it. He puts on the aire of being tough and frightening. He must so the students will respect his position. He can be very tough during his individual sessions with students. Appearance: Arther Arby is a tall, looming man. He has a full head of scruffy white hair and a clean-shaven face. His face is beginning to wrinkle with age, and his body is also beginning to bend over and start deteriorating. But he works hard to stand tall. He has clean piercing blue eyes, which he accentuates with a pair of thin-rimmed glasses. He enjoys wearing simple jeans and a t-shirt with a good sturdy pair of cowboy boots. He hates formal events when he has to wear the headmasters robe. Other: He is married and has a son who will later take this place. |

Name: Yamitori Kara Age: 15 Sex: Female Race: Half-Tengu Room: 103 Grade: Freshman Power: Photokinesis. Currently, her power is rather out of control, and limited to "feeling" light, changing the color of herself or something she's touching (only while it remains in contact with her), and radiating light equivalent to a torch. She is also supernaturally unlucky, though I wouldn't exactly call this a power... Short Bio: Kara is the daughter of a renowned human geologist and a crow-like mountain spirit known as a tengu. Born under a bad star, so to speak, she's been trailed by misfortune for her entire life. Her mother died during childbirth, and things only got worse from there. She spent a greater portion of her childhood in various hospitals due to various bizarre injuries and rare diseases (many of which were not native to the area). Most recently, she has began manifesting strange talents not fully under her control. She now attends the school in hopes of getting them under check. Personality: Despite her misfortune, Kara tends to be slightly optimistic, as despite the terrible things that happen to her, she somehow makes it out okay. She is also quite shy, and tends to avoid eye contact, and seldom speaks until spoken to, unless she overhears a topic which interests her. Said interests are biology and anthropology. She is very sensitive about the length of her nose, which she almost always has concealed behind a fan. Appearance: Kara sports a small pair of crow-like wings on her back. In addition to those on her wings, she has jet-black feathers in place of hair. Her clawed, four-toed feet resemble a crow's talons, and her large eyes are a golden-orange. Perhaps her most prominent feature is her long (four-inch!) nose, which she does her best to conceal. Other: Kara inherited an enchanted fan from her mother. The fan is capable of creating gusts of wind, and more importantly, concealing her nose. Also, while she has wings, they aren't large or strong enough to allow true flight.
