What sort of thing do you want me to write in way of introduction? XD
I'll whisper in your ear,
You are mine, and you will never have to be alone.
And when I pull you near,
You'll know I love you like I never loved anyone.
So let me be the one to lift you up,
I'll carry you home.
'Cause now I'm here to keep you safe,
And to catch you when you fall.

Just look at how Jemima and how the others were introduced. You'll get an idea.

It's been two months. Not several ~-~ Two isn't as much time to reform someone as you might hope.

I never specified how many months. I didn't say several, or a few, or even a couple.

I just said "months ago". But I will now specify. I apologise for the inconvenience. Maybe Shojen was just overreacting because he's frustrated with Arumat; y'know, what with his killing intent.

Sorry if he seems a little haphazard in flailing personality syndrome. I'm reworking him now that he has memory loss and such.

No worries, I'll not hesitate to squirt him in the face with some water if he acts up. ;)

I read over the note at the bottom of the story though i just wanted to make sure, I'm not aloud to make one of the masters/teachers am I? The students are the only playable characters?

Because ten billion years' time
is so fragile, so ephemeral...
it arouses such a bittersweet,
almost heartbreaking fondness.

@Luna: Yeah, only students as playable characters at the moment, but you're still more than welcome to join if you'd like. :)

Well, it looks like an interesting concept (though I'm saddened that you can only plan mages. :< )
Either way before I wiggle a character out what is the age range required. (seeing as it is a apprentice setting it seems I suppose it will have to be either either teenagers or young adults late to develop, but I'm'a go with making a definite understanding on what is accepted )

13-21, I'd say. 21 would be about the age where a student has mastered their first discipline and get bumped up to the next "rank". That doesn't mean they turn 21 and BOOM, however.

There is a trial they must face. So they can master their discipline at an earlier age, or a slightly later one.

However, I'd be extremely glad if you could join us. :)

alrighty, well I guess I'll work on a character then. I was just making sure. I'll likely make a young adult rather than a teenager due to the fact that I have a bit of difficulty connecting to teenage characters and getting into a truly conversing character development that doesn't just seem....well....off by most's standards. Though I think I might stick with a slightly late bloomer. :P

Name: Isaiah Derouge

Age: 21

Gender: Male

School: Defensive

Discipline: Enchantment

Personality: Isaiah is a studious and somewhat serious fellow, spending most of his free time in contemplation of the word events, or his training. The only monkey wrench in his system is that when he gets to contemplating things, he starts itching to become active, to move to act, to perform, to do ANYTHING. This is a natural tendency that he himself has struggled with for most of his life. He always ended up getting sidetracked due to this behavior and as a result ended up not meshing well with most of his studies. He has however finally overcome it mostly after years of work and effort and has come to be a more passable at controlling the impulse. The ordeal did not however leave him unscathed. He holds an insecurity in himself due to this the trouble he had with it. He doesn't speak on it and tries not to let it effect him outwardly but it's a subtle reality to his psyche.
Leaving the confines of his shortcomings Isaiah is a seemingly understanding young man, who enjoys helping those around him when he can. His physical stature being average he has also seemed to adopt a rather average personality. He tries to be fun loving and care free, but he is naturally a serious person and it tends to show through his attempts if one inspects his actions closely enough. He has no particular hatred for the empire, he doesn't actually express much of an opinion in regards to it at all, however he still listens to the discussions being held on the topic. He has a love of the textures, and will often keep some piece of hide, leather, or even wood or pebbles just to rub his thumb over while he contemplates or sits around. His favorite color is brown and he he enjoys slightly burnt meat.

History: Isaiah was born towards the end of the purge. His parents had sworn in with the emperor and his cause and far beyond recognition of anything that he knew. His uncle and aunt however did not share these views and stole away their nephew in what they hoped to be preserving the family in the ways of the right cause. As a result Isaiah did not know, or had any attachment to his parents, and instead grew up with his uncle and aunt and their three children. one of which was already born at the time and two that came after feeling them every bit the family that most children feel for their immediate family. He grew always fighting with his older cousin, which was frowned upon seeing as she was a girl, but damn it all did she hit hard! However when he came of age he started to try and learn magic with the rest of the children his age. Now, to say Isaiah was a natural at magic would be the worst kind of joke ever. It's not to say that he isn't able to, it's more to say that he has problems focusing the application and ends up with some odd results however. He wasn't very well suited for it it would seem, so he tried a little of all. Aggressive magic ended.....dangerously due to his natural lack of rigged control at the time. Supportive was about the same only with less hazardous results. Enchantment wasn't very good for him sense he couldn't get them to hold, however it didn't have any negative feedback, so they decided that was the best kind to try and teach him. It didn't go smoothly as every kind of enchantment he tried, the effects would bleed together, or onto the surrounding sense he had trouble focusing it to a narrow point of application. He was taken as a point of ridicule by the children his age and as they advanced, he watched them leave him behind in their training. As some of them completed their trials early, he was simply left almost at a stand still. This left him with his sense of insecurity and slight displeasure at focusing on his studies. He began to disregard training in favor of trying to help out his family more and get more work done around the primitive home. This wouldn't stand however and his Uncle insisted that he learn. It was what they where there for after all, to keep magic alive.
So doing as he was bidden Isaiah returned to his training and dedicated himself to it as best he could. He was very useful at various things, just magic wasn't among them yet. He finally however started to slowly grasp it. His problem had never been to create the effect, only to hold it steady to it's target. Day after day he focused and tired, and progress was slow, but it was still being made. His twenty first birthday came and he still had not come to complete the trial, but by then he had set aside his bitterness and just focused on progressing steadily as he can, and focusing on keeping his target held, or at least transitioning it as it needs to be. This places him in an odd position of being considered at an adult in some aspects of their tucked away community, while still not yet there in others.
