Hi Blue, here's that Character Sheet I sent to you earlier! Hope you're enjoying your vacation.


Name: Cael

Age: 19

Gender: Male

School: Aggressive

Discipline: Elemental Control. Fire is his active element right now. He's accepted, and wielded it as his primary element, channeling through his left hand. He is seeking tutelage in his secondary element, Lightning, as he’s completely unable to harness it at the moment.

History: Years ago, in a tiny village on the outskirts of the Colossal Forest, a man named Briel wandered in with a babe slung on his back. The townsfolk watched him out of the corner of their eyes as he shambled down their main road, an enigmatic figure in his dust-worn cloak and dilapidated sandals. He, and the silver haired child he carried with him, were strangers to this close-knit community, and travelers were always met with a fair amount of curiosity and caution in these parts. Without saying a word to any of the people who were about their business in the village, Briel headed straight for the nearest farmstead and asked to purchase a herd of sheep for the season from the elderly man who lived there. With these humble starts, Briel built himself and the child a small home, and with his own minor cut of land, maintained a small sheep population to keep the two fed and provide materials for the village. But the numerous scars along Briel’s body and the corded muscles of his whip-like body hinted at a past wholly different than anything a regular farmer could aspire to. Over time, the mysterious Briel and the silver haired lad became familiar faces to the citizens of the small fishing village, and they felt themselves at peace in this quiet and simple life. Cael grew up, raised as a shepherd, and his days were filled with the simple beauty of a good day’s work, time with friends, and a hearty dinner to go to bed with.

But, as all things do, these peaceful times came to a brutal end. 18 years after the boy Cael’s arrival with his father marked a major change in his life. His magical abilities began manifesting themselves, and though initially frightened, the boy quickly came to embrace the exhilarating sensation of his flame-conjuring. Though initially presenting itself as minor incantations, the element developed terrifyingly quickly, developing almost a feral hunger of its own, to consume and dominate. Cael, frightened by his gradually deteriorating control of the spells he casually intoned while alone watching the sheep, stopped his experimentation out of caution after almost accidentally setting the entire feeding field on fire, and for the moment, everything seemed alright again. But over the course of the next months, he discovered that his right hand would constantly twitch as he gripped his shepherd’s crook, something that had never happened before. Even when he consciously grabbed his fingers, the movements would start up again moments after he released his hand. Anxious about this, he confided in Briel, who could only look at him with rueful eyes, tinged with dread. That night, he awoke on the middle of the floor after being violently awoken by a seizure that wrenched him out of his bed, contorting and twisting him all over the floor of his room. Groggy and drained, he awoke to the acrid smell of smoke surrounding him. As he slowly came to, he realized that his green fires draped the walls, ceiling, doors, EVERYTHING of the hut he and Briel called home. Panicked, Cael fled the house, looking for any signs of Briel, but finding nothing in the few moments he had before the house collapsed on itself. Outside, the scene was no better: the flames had spread hungrily and had covered his home’s fields and crops, and were working their way terrifyingly quickly all across the village. Attempts to extinguish it were fruitless, and within hours, the entire village and its inhabitants were razed to the ground. Cael, clutching his twitching right hand, could only watch helplessly as the fiery conflagration took away the only life he’d ever known. In those green flames, he saw the true face of his power, and it terrified him. Fleeing from the carnage, after the last of the screams had faded away, Cael stumbled through the Colossal Woods for days, beaten, worn and hungry. In a daze he collapsed at the door of the Mage’s Enclave, and was taken in to be cared for at the Academy. For months Cael recovered, and as his condition normalized, he was to begin his training.

Personality: A constant grin is one of the things that characterize the silver haired youth. Cael, in his youth, was brash and outgoing. He would stubbornly press on in any situation despite the odds against him. This loudmouthed and extroverted nature persisted into his adulthood, however as he matured, his brushes with the magical energies within him have subdued his old boisterousness, replacing it with a thoughtfulness tempered by experience. A huge proponent of the "gut instinct" method of friendship, Cael is quick to befriend someone; however he's slow to trust wholeheartedly. His openness with people is contrasted by his fear of his powers: He hesitates when he normally would act, unnecessarily second guessing his decision-making.

As an athlete and a competitor, Cael fights and works wholeheartedly, always looking to outperform others. He forms rivalries easily, but these friendly competitions are truly his only form of motivation in his magical endeavors. Unless pushed by the successes of others, Cael feels no need to work for any skill. He keeps spouting reasons like "I'll learn it in time", or "It'll show up when I need it to" to justify his lack of work ethic. However, these brusque explanations hide the fear in his heart over the magical gifts bestowed to him. A bright kid filled with plenty of potential, Cael tries to mask his reticence to master his skills with a devil-may-care attitude.

Appearance: http://imgur.com/mThVn One of the most prominent characteristics that people immediately register about Cael is his silver hair. Immediately following that, people jump as they lock eyes with his piercing emerald gaze. Standing at a solid 5'11", he's of average proportions, but he's maintained a high level of physical fitness. Though incapable of Herculean feats of strength, Cael strikes as quickly as his latent element. He is astonishingly quick-footed, and his movements and reflexes are astounding. His auras shine a dark green, and his flame spells are colored as well, which he never understood.

Despite his physical capabilities however, his affinity for lightning has presented itself in a uncontrollable tic on his right hand. The twitching is a manifestation of the latent power he has not harnessed, and the pent up energy causes this twitch that he cannot be rid of, until he finds an outlet for the forces within him. The tic is a constant feature, however, once in a blue moon, the electrical back up causes his neurons to become over stimulated, and misfire, causing violent seizures that can flare up at any time. Thankfully, these rare occasions come and go, leaving Cael shaken, but physically undamaged.

Thanks mate, I'm back now and I hope to get stuck back in as soon as possible. I'll also try to send you a reply to your PM some time today.

I've only just got back from my holiday, and now that I am I need you all to vote for Reclamation for Featured Roleplay. We're tied for the lead with "As We Fall" for now with 4 votes a piece. I know I ask a lot of you guys sometimes, but it would mean the world to me if I won.

I know how petty that sounds, but truth be told, winning such a thing as this is probably going to be one of the greatest things I achieve. :P

P.S. ALL OF THE REPLIES ARE UPCOMING.

Name:Ezekiel Night

Age:17

Gender:Male

School: Aggressive

Discipline: Elemental control. (If you need something else i'll be weapon control). Fire is my primary. Fire is my right hand. The Kanji for fire is inscribed into my right hand. .

Personality: Ezekiel has a quick temper and an even faster mouth. He has always been one to start a fight for no real reason, even in his younger days. He also is very protective. Once he becomes your friend he'll stop at nothing to protect you if you get hurt. Even though he can be quick tempered he usually is pretty quiet in normal circumstances. He is very playful. If there is no need for anger he's always one to crack a joke. That usually got him in alot of trouble in regular school.

History: He was left abandoned in the middle of a forest. Left alone as a tiny baby he should've died. But an old man by the name of Gabriel strongfelt happened to find him. The old man took pity on this child and brought him to the village. This village was a small sanctum for Mages that went into hiding during the Magic Purge. Because of this most of them tried to not use there magic. He grew there with his bestfriends, lucy and john. He trained under the old man in the art of kenpo and studied slight magic. He struggled with even the basic understanding of magic so he strived to be the best fighter there was. He always trained with a short staff about five feet. He still carries that weapon today.But one day, this hidden village finally got caught. The attack of the Disenchanters was very late at night so no one could even begin to expect it. They cae and set fires to the huts , they snuck into houses and attacked. Even though this village was a camp for rogue mages, most of these had passed there prime and they hadn't taught the new generation to much about magic to keep them away from danger. The disenchanters killed the old and stole the young to be brainwashed. Ezekiel was asleep in his house with his "guardian" when everything changed. The disenchanters had no Idea he was taught in the ways of Kenpo and even slight magic. They snuck in only to find the child awake and with his staff ready. Because of his young age he was never very strong and the disenchanters grabbed him and killed his "guardian" before his very eyes. Because of this his magic training and his abilities exploded, in a very literal sense. He killed many enchanters with that fire. He tried to look for Lucy and John but to no avail. Ever since then he's been on the run, hiding his fire powers in fear of being caught. (I want the history of what he's done to be revealed later.

Appearance: He is about 5'10 . His face is very gentle but when he gets angered his face becomes very intense. http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Natsu_Dragion ( Thats his face) He wears a red short cut shirt with an orange ban around the top. His shorts are white . His calves and arms are medium sized but has nice muscle definition from all his intensive training. He wears tan sanals. His feet usually stay nicely cared for. The kanji of fire is burned into his right hand. (Is this good ? What do I need to change?)

Yeah, I agree with the idea that there are a lot of Elementals here. A lot of Fire. As much as I am all for the Pyro stuff (Mmmmph Mpwhwmwhmm MHMHMHMHMHMHM!), the balance has shifted largely in terms of Magic types.

Right now we have about 7-8 Aggressive Schoolers and about 2 or 3 Students in Defensive and Supportive put together. In fact, I'm just gonna write down a list of what we've got now - not including the Masters, Disenchanted characters.


In Aggressive:

2 Elementalists - Shojen and Cael. (Outside of that, we have Ezekiel who I haven't accepted in yet.)

2 Magic Weapon Users - Arumat and Mikal

2 Beast Controllers - Ella and Doe (Along with another CS that someone's come to me with and I've asked to change).


In Defensive, we have:

1 Enchanter - Isaiah

1 Adapter - Lucretia

0 Guardians


And in Supportive:

1 Telepath - Jin

1 Telekinesis User - Jemima

0 Alchemists.


Outside of all those, we add in the Masters and Disenchanted and we've got a final count of:

Aggressive Schoolers: 9

Defensive Schoolers: 3

Supportive Schoolers: 3


Long story short, I'm now putting a halt to the production of Aggressive school members. All the ones I've accepted so far are clear, but until I say so, no more Elementalists, no more Magic Weapons and no more Beasts. I want to see if I can get some sort of equality in numbers again.

I apologise to those I've inconvenienced by this new ruling, but if this isn't done I can see a whole lot of problems rising up in the near future. You're all still more than welcome - encouraged in fact, to make Defensive and Supportive Characters; We really need them.

@Hikari - You could just switch your current character to a different school and change his Magic Ability if you like. But if you wanted to make a new character all over again, I don't mind.

@Dream - Yes, you can make another character, so long as you feel you can keep up. And as long as it doesn't start out with a personality that's all "I won't talk to people unless I have to and I'mma be an introvert and stuff." :P

Name:Ezekiel Night

Age:17

Gender:Male

School: Defensive

Discipline: Adaptability.

Personality: He is a very eager and friendly person. He's always willing to help his friends and he's always willing to learn something new. He makes new friends extremely easy and he usually always makes people laugh. But when he is angered, like by someone hurting his friends, he becomes a totally different person. Since it's hard for him to get angry when he does, he loses control.

History: He was left abandoned in the middle of a forest. Left alone as a tiny baby he should've died. But an old man by the name of Gabriel strongfelt happened to find him. The old man took pity on this child and brought him to the village. This village was a small sanctum for Mages that went into hiding during the Magic Purge. Because of this most of them tried to not use there magic. He grew there with his bestfriends, lucy and john. He trained under the old man in the art of kenpo and he was also trained on how to fight with a sword and studied slight beginner magic. He struggled with even the basic understanding of magic so he strived to be the best fighter there was. Since he was trained in both swordsmanship and hand to hand he carries a short sword on his hip. He still carries that weapon today.But one day, this hidden village finally got caught. The attack of the Disenchanters was very late at night so no one could even begin to expect it. They came and set fires to the huts , they snuck into houses and attacked. Even though this village was a camp for rogue mages, most of these had passed there prime and they hadn't taught the new generation to much about magic to keep them away from danger. The disenchanters killed the old and stole the young to be brainwashed. Ezekiel was asleep in his house with his "guardian" when everything changed. The disenchanters had no Idea he was taught to fight. They snuck in only to find the child awake and with his staff ready. Because of his young age he was never very strong and the disenchanters grabbed him and killed his "guardian" before his very eyes. and then threw him on the ground to be killed Because of this his magic training and his anger he finally learned how to use some of his magic. He touched the stone that was near him and he absorbed it. Using his new body of rock he pushed past the disenchanters and ran into the forest. He tried to look for Lucy and John but to no avail. Ever since then he's been on the run, searching for his friends and trying to learn how to use his ability (I want the history of what he's done to be revealed later.

Appearance: He is about 5'10 . His face is very gentle but when he gets angered his face becomes very intense. He has a tattoo that goes over the top of his eyes and under them. His gray eyes always seem so gentle. His white hair is also a feature many notice about him. SInce he's been trained as a child his body is lean but you can still see the muscles underneath. He wears a long sleeved black shirt and a normal pair of jeans. He has a necklace that his "guardian" gave him. It's in the shape of a tiny sword with wings coming from the handguard.He usually goes barefoot in case he needs to adapt extremely quick and can't touch the ground or whatever his feet is on. He carries a short sword on his hip and he has a satchel on the the other side. Inside the satchel is a water canteen , a solid stone he once fount, and a peice of steel and iron. (good?)

Name: Arick

Age: 17

Gender: Male

School: Defensive

Discipline: Magic Wards; Arick is able to create a ward to surround himself completely, and can sometimes protect another alongside himself. His range is growing a few centimeters every day. He is also nearly able to protect one other person instead of himself, but that is only because of his extreme determination to protect others.

Personality: Genuinely friendly and caring, Arick is the type of person you always want at your back. He is always out to protect others, and will do whatever physically possible to do so. He is the type who will sacrifice himself for someone he barely knows, just because he can. His caring is to such an extent, it can almost become a fault. Even if someone has hurt him in the past, he will still continue to care about them, and treat them as such. Because of that, he makes friends very easily. He’s difficult not to get along with.

Arick is generally fairly laid back, and won’t get overly stressed about anything. It’s nearly impossible to make him angry, and he almost always keeps a level head in stressful situations. He doesn’t care much for fighting, preferring peaceful solutions to problems. He’s the type who will try to talk things through rationally even though it is the stupid thing to do.

He is also extremely stubborn. Not stubborn in the sense that nobody can tell him anything, but in the sense that, once he gets it in his mind to protect someone, nothing and nobody can stop him from doing so. He sees anybody he cares about getting hurt in any way as a personal failure, and will only beat himself up over it. He’s very hard on himself, because he feels it is his duty to protect everyone.

History: Arick never really talks about his parents, but it has never really bothered him. His parents abandoned him when he was seven, leaving him alone with his five year old brother, Andy. Ever since that day, Arick raised his little brother the best he could, protecting him and trying to give him everything the other children had. The poor little seven year old became both mother and father to the child. For five more years, he did this, until one day, everything went wrong. Andy got sick. It wasn’t some small cold that could be taken care of with rest and lots of water. No, it was the kind of sick that, no matter what anyone did, only got worse until eventually the poor child just couldn’t handle it anymore, and passed on.

Andy’s death hit Arick hard. He was the only family he had, and with that gone, he had no idea what to do with his life. He had dedicated his whole life to protecting his brother, and he had failed. It was something that he would have to live with for the rest of his life, and it haunts him to this day still.

Since then, Arick traveled for years to find some way to protect others. His life goal became to stop war, and protect everyone he could. He found his way to the Mages, and finally found that he could protect others. His goal became to train to be the strongest he could, so he could protect as many people as possible.
