    Atheists don't have souls, silly. They lose them after eating their first baby.

    Maybe you should have been voted most likely to freak out. I now imagine you listening to things that are stereotypically feminine. Or at least really soft.

    Then you must love progressive metal. Oh wait. That isn't likely since you don't like jazz. ...Whatever. Metal is too br00tal for hipsters.

    Mystic {OOC}




    • Legend has it that this world was born through the war of gods and their countless deaths. It is even believed by some that this world, its star Aten, and its moon Iah were formed from the deaths of their namesakes. When humans came into being they displayed magical abilities which, in time, became the power that fueled their wars. Stories of old tell of heroes who performed godlike acts for the sake of peace spawning the legends of the Mystics, a powerful race of beings who have long since left this world to allow humanity to progress at its own pace.

      Throughout its history humans have displayed excessive violence towards one another. It was only that through the events of one horrific battle three thousand years ago that their conflicts over territory and power were ceased. Dubbed The Last War, its greatest battle left Pando, their world, scarred by the complete annihilation of its largest country Amelatu.


      After The Last War Amelatu’s capital, Zenith, was rebuilt as a reminder of what was lost. Even today Zenith still stands and has only grown in size since that day. It serves as a central attraction for yearly festivities that commemorate the end of the war. Being the three thousandth year since The Last War’s end, this day will be something exceptionally special...and different...



    • World Map


      [​IMG]

      A country with a tough mountainous climate and a tougher people, it has a large defense force simply known as “The Knights of Eridis” who exist solely to uphold the law and protect their country from Pando’s more dangerous wildlife. Officers of the Knights are easily distinguishable from others as they travel through the air with the use of domestic dragons(which have been bred so that they no longer breathe fire). The people here are often friendly and respected for their strength.



      [​IMG]

      Though both Zenith and Eridis have advanced a great deal in the sciences over millennia, Belnuru serves as a center for the scientific community. It is through the breakthroughs within Belnuru that have allowed for the creation of energy generators that draw on the naturally occurring Aether in the world. Even in its defense force Belnuru makes use of metallic giants known as Golems. This urban environment also brought a quick means of transportation throughout its country and to both Eridis and Zenith by way of a vast network of railways. It goes without saying that the people of Belnuru are often thought to be highly intelligent.



      [​IMG]

      The rebuilt capital of the fallen country Amelatu, Zenith is a massive city home to the wealthy and the powerful. Children from both Eridis and Belnuru yearn to be accepted into its academy and very few ever pass the entrance exam. Graduating from the Zenith Academy almost guarantees a bright future. During the yearly celebrations for the end of The Last War, political figures from all over Pando visit this grand city.



    • The Aether is said to be the beginning of magic itself. Humans are attuned to it in such a way that magical abilities manifest. Creatures like dragons have a natural affinity towards using it directly but humans are unable to directly control pure Aether without the assistance of technology.

      The use of magic causes fatigue and if an unexperienced practioner uses their powers at a level their bodies are not capable of handing it may cause death. Using powerful magic creates an aura around the user which can be sensed by others nearby.



    • ҉ xx No Godmodding or Power-Playing.

      ҉ xx Can I start somewhere other than Zenith? Yes, if your character is not a student.

      ҉ xx What kind of school is Zenith? A boarding school. Regardless of whether or not your student’s home is in Zenith, the students sleep at the school.

      ҉ xx Can my student have a job? Sure, as long as it’s in Zenith.

      ҉ xx Will this just be a magical school RP? No. The Zenith Academy and the time spent there will be a very small part of this RP.

      ҉ xx “Elemental magic” does not count as one power. Each element your character controls is an individual power.

      ҉ xx I’m not going to be strict about your character being an orphan. Just have the reason make sense. There are no wars or oppressive dictators to have your character’s parents killed by.

      ҉ xx No mind reading powers, abilities to control the Aether directly, control over the dead(or spirits), nullifying powers, time magic, or copying abilities. Examples of accepted powers would be: Shapeshifting, invisibility, teleportation, telekinesis, or an elemental power. These aren’t the only powers allowed though. Get creative and if you’re in doubt, feel free to ask me if an ability you’re thinking of will be accepted. I don’t bite!

      ҉ xx Students will be the main focus of the story.

      ҉ xx Feel free to have as many characters as you can handle.

      ҉ xx If you have any questions about the RP don’t be afraid to ask. If something here isn't clear for you, you won’t look stupid by asking me something!

      • Name: Zauriel l'Zrael
        Age: 18
        Appearance: Click here
        Personality: Extremely sympathetic and kind, Zauriel is one who finds the good in everything. His optimism would be annoying if it wasn't for the child-like way that he views the world. He has virtually no concept of the "big picture" and cares little for it at all. He enjoys the little things, rarely frowns, and hates politics. He reacts much like an animal to new developments. Due to the nature of his powers, he is tired quite a bit.
        Home: Eridis
        Occupation: Student (has a part-time job caretaking for animals at the school)
        Magic: Shapeshifting - Able to shapeshift his body into various forms. He's not able to shapeshift his entire body, but can change his limbs to animal limbs or grow wings, tails, horns, etc. Small details such as his eyes, ears, or hair are constantly changing.
        Specialty: Great with animals, almost to the point of communication.
        Other: Due to the huge flux of magical power within his body, Zauriel is almost constantly shapeshifting without control. This manifests in his eyes changing color or shape, his horns changing size, an unwanted tail, etc. It is usually done in tandem with his emotions or to match his environment. Because his family raised dragons for The Knights of Eridis, his forms tend to lean to dragonic.

        Occupation: Student
        Magic: Gun Manipulation - Damion is able to reform the pistol he carries with him into any other weapon so long as there has been prior contact with the gun he wishes to make and or he can form a clear mental image of how he wants it come out.

      • Name: Poke Kuvari
        Age: 16
        Appearance: He's 5'9" tall, has black hair, and cyan eyes. He wears a red coat, a black T-shirt inside, dark-blue jeans and white-black sneakers.
        Personality: He's pretty friendly and warm towards other, although he may crack some bad jokes, and maybe even act rude at times, but it's all in good spirit. Poke's someone that loves to make other people happy, and if he sees someone in a bad mood, he'll do his best to try to help.
        Home: Zenith
        Occupation: Student
        Magic: Augmentation – The ability to enhance physical attributes for short periods of time. However, he's most experienced(And prefers) with using it on his legs. Since he spent so much time concentrating on just those specific areas, he's grown inexperienced with using it on other muscles, so if he tries using it on any other area, he has a chance to completely fail, or just stop halfway through the time limit.
        Teleportation - By imagining himself in a certain location, Poke can use teleportation, with a certain range. He doesn't have the risk of accidentally teleporting in to objects, he'll automatically avoid it, although there is a risk, one that makes him scared to use this power in large bursts or in certain situations. He can teleport in succession, but that's if he gets lucky. Many times, he'll 'lag'. Basically, you'll see him fizzing like static from where he starts, some random distance to his destination, and then he'll just stop at some point, completely frozen(And I mean literally frozen, even in midair). Once he unfreezes, which can take a few seconds to a few minutes, he'll unable to teleport for a certain amount of time depending on how far he attempted to, also up to a few minutes. So if he lags in the middle of a fight, or if he finds himself high up in the air, he's pretty much screwed.
        Specialty: He's highly proficient in acts related to running, such as parkour.
        Other: N/A
      • Name: Jen Forte
        Age: 17

He's not shy, in fact he's quite the opposite and enjoys company. The more clones he has, the louder he becomes and he seems less bright.
        Home: Belnuru
        Occupation: Student
        Magic: "Survey Cloning"- here
        Specialty: He's great at being stealthy, unintentionally. Sometimes he's so light on his feet people don't realize he entered the room.
        Other: N/A

        Name: Tal Gaeta & Ember
        Age: 19
        Appearance: Tal --- Ember
        Personality: Tal is always up for adventure and is very energetic, but tends to keep to herself and stick with dragons. Although she does keep to herself, she still enjoys talking to people, but isn't very good at staying friends with people since she tends to evade them as much as she can. If she isn't running about she's probably eating, or learning more about dragons.
        Home: Eridis
        Occupation: Student
        Magic: Dragon Link- Able to telepathically communicate with dragons. She shares even more of a connection with dragons that are her own, such as Ember.
        Specialty: She's very charismatic in her speaking, which is why it's more disappointing when she doesn't keep up relationships with people.
        Other: Her dragon, Ember, breathes fire. Since it isn't normal for dragons anymore she tends to keep quiet about it.

    Most amusing part is that some people are whining that Square's going to steal the translations from the fan version and not pay any of those who worked on it. It's so funny to me.

    Hm. ...Not sure what to say about this. Hopefully the story doesn't try taking itself too seriously this time around. I honestly felt like Pacific Rim was just a way to pass the time until the new Godzilla movie came out. The movie wasn't bad. It just felt like a modern day equivalent to one of those kaiju movies that weren't Godzilla movies.

    Myamar

    A splash of cold water from the washbowl was all he needed to lift him from his drowsy state. Perhaps it had not been a good idea staying up so late in search of work in a town where he was merely another face in the crowd. Still, by now he thought he would have been able to find someone in need of a blade just like in Holmfirth. As he dried his face Marcus recalled that it took him nearly a week to find work in Eastborne which was what lead him here.

    An uneventful trip traveling alongside a merchant as a guard brought Marcus to Hammaslahti. If he hadn't needed the money he would have refused the merchant's offer. Marcus was not fond of temples. The whole atmosphere about them felt too similar to the enchantry. As stiff as he was, places like those made him feel like he was the lively one which only confused him given how his brother managed to stick through with his training with the magi.

    Marcus ran a hand through his hair which did little to straighten out the mess it was. Looking down at his reflection he sighed at his unshaven face. Marcus went over to his bag, though it was barely considered a stubble he decided it would be better to--

    "Damn." He poked a finger through a newly discovered hole in the leather and shook his head. "I'll have to buy another blade. I'm not shaving with my axe."

    He left the inn leaving most of his belongings in his room and began to head for the market. Marcus's eyes shifted towards the nearby temple. He paused and stared at the grand structure for quite a while. The portraits his family owned of the temple did not do it justice.

    So I finally took the time to listen to this album and it surprised me how wrong you guys were with attempting to place the sound of this album. It's not a callback to their older stuff. Their older stuff depended heavily on riffs whereas this album follows more or less a similar formula to Living Things. The only difference is that it's heavier...and the writing on a whole seems to be weaker than Living Things. Nothing about this album screamed (irony?) "old Linkin Park" to me. That's not a bad thing but when it came to the heavier stuff...at least their older stuff was more memorable.

    All that being said, I still liked this album. Linkin Park may not be a band made up of virtuosos but they can still make something catchy.

    The patch was released the day before the remake was announced. I wouldn't feel bad for the team if I were you. At the end of the day, we end up getting a superior version of the original game released getting localized. So it's a win for the fanbase.

    Machina's strength lies in Assault Mode. And the fact that he has some of the best stats out of every character. ...Also the startup of his first attack is pretty fast so it makes getting those kill sights pretty easy.

    Type-0 is the best Final Fantasy ever. I've played the demo and know the entire story(as well as things that happen in the prequel manga). So...yeah. Machina's the best. I'll be changing my name to it again when the release date(whenever it is) gets closer.

    Also, it's 14 playable characters. Not 12.

    Whatever their opponent's dog-thing did seemed to have caused Shulk to freeze up. Whatever it was, it wasn't very effective on machines like him. X's right arm morphed into his X-buster and began to glow as he ran to Shulk's side. Rather than aim at the Pyroar he directed his arm at the one giving the creature its orders. Then, he unleashed a charged shot of powerful energy.

    And then Roxas followed Knuckles, frustrated that he was taking a red spikey thing's(that wasn't Axel) orders.
