Thread: The Three Pyramids Academy (Sign-Ups badly needed!)

The year is 1352 in the nation of Jishin, a wasteland of desert in which are a scattering of cities. From all around the world Magicians come to the Three Pyramids. The first Pyramid, the Laborama Pyramid, is where the magicians work and meet. It is the largest pyramid. The second pyramid is the Dormishan Pyramid, where the magicians live, sleep, and conduct leisure activity. The last pyramid, the Legatan Pyramid, is where the Three Pyramids Academy is placed. Here the magicians learn magic and prepare for life in the other two pyramids. The Magicians study many arts:


Magics:

Basic Magic: which involves the use of the elements, and the combination.

Rune Magic: Which involves the using of metal and stone runes.

Daemon Magic: Which utilises the Spirits of the Underworld.

Necromancy: The animation of inanimate objects and the resurrection of the Undead. This is limited to a select few students who prove to excel in certain studies.

The Elements:

Ignis: Which has sub-elements of Fire, Heat and Magma.

Aqua: Which has sub-elements of Water and Ice

Ventus which has sub-elements of Wind, Lightning and Plant.

Terra: Which has sub-elements of Rock and Metal

Energy: Which has no sub-elements

Students will be stronger in some elements than the others. They will be able to channel all of the elements, but to certain extents

The Castes:

Once the students go into the pyramid, they will choose which caste they want to go into:

Warriors: Who dress in red robes. They fight for the state or as mercenaries.

Healers: Who dress in green robes. They go around healing people and finding new cures to diseases.

Crafters: Who dress in brown robes. They perform ordinary jobs where magic might be useful, such as building or farming.

Alchemists: Who dress in blue robes. They are the magical scientists, making discoveries.

Diplomats: Who dress in yellow robes. They act as advisors to kings and emperors, politicians and ambassadors.

Necromancers: Who dress in black. They are by far the smallest caste and it contains the necromancers.

The Aniati: Who dress in white: They are the caretakers of the Pyramids. They make many of the decisions of the Pyramids and are most often the Leader of the Pyramids, The High Seat.

Ranks:

In the Pyramids there is a delicate hierarcy.

At the top is the High Seat, who is the supreme ruler of the Pyramids. The position is for life. He is assisted by the Parliament.

The Seven Heads of each Caste sit on the Parliament. They are the Stratedux of the Warriors, The Medicissime of the Healers, The Laboranti of the Alchemists, the Faberin of the Crafstmen, the Legaster of the Diplomats, the Mortuan of the Necromancers and the Anius of the Aniati. This seat is voted for every ten years.

Within the Castes there are many individual ranks, but each Caste has a Deputy, in case of the death or absence of the Head.

In the Academy there is the Magister Optimus, who is the Head of the Academy. There can be any number of Magistri (singular Magister), and seven Didaskaloi (Singular Didaskalos), who are the heads of the teaching of each caste, and control aplications into the Castes at the end of the students' final year.

The Students have their own Ranks as well.

In each year there are twelve Academic Scholars, six Music Scholars and six Sports Scholars. A student can hold more than one of these positions.

In the final year there are twelve Praefecti, four Praefecti Maior and one Praefecti Maximus.

Name: Adriana Hayes

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Straight/Heterosexual

Magic Spread:
Ignis: 25%
Aqua: 40%
Ventus: 5%
Terra: 15%
Energy: 15%

Hopeful Caste: Warriors

Appearance: Adriana's got slightly-curled, light hazel-brown hair that reaches just somewhere below her shoulders. She stands at around 5 feet 6 inches, and her figure could be seen as quite athletic. Her skin's complexion is slightly tanned, but still quite a bit on the white or pale side of things. Her eyes are a shade of blue - sometimes as azure as the sky, sometimes with a tint of green like the sea, sometimes a turquoise orb rolling vigorously like waves crashing in the ocean, sometimes a bright cyan, you can never really tell. She has a silver bracelet on her left wrist, decorated with beautiful jewels and pearls of different shades that glimmer under the illuminating desert sun.

Personality: Adriana is usually a laid-back and relaxed person, thinking things through in that calculating mind of hers that always seems to be churning. She may seem quiet to most, but she is actually bursting with ideas on the inside and just needs some opportunities to express herself. She's hardworking and determined, and could be rather friendly once you get to know her. She can control her temper pretty well, so long as you respect her and treat her right.

She likes having strategies and plans ready beforehand, trying to make sure every little detail is foolproof. She's not perfect, though, so sometimes something doesn't go according to plan. When this happens, she tends to freak out; suddenly her mind will be at a stand still. Sometimes, she goes overboard with ideas, which also leads to a bit of a mess. She takes losing as experience, a lesson.

Adriana is strongest when it comes to aqua, though she never really knew that until around the age of 14. One last thing to note about her, though, is that she's not the best with navigation so she would usually need someone to accompany her if she has to go to an unfamiliar location.

Acceptus est! @MuddyMudkip; I've decided to limit Scholarships, although you can still be competent at anything. I also need Power Levels (how strong your magic is) from 1-10. The most common power level is around five or six.

Appearance: 5'4, has slightly messy black hair that spikes up a bit at the top and is neck-length. Has blue eyes. Skin is somewhat pale in comparison to most, but it's still a healthy tone. Wears red robes that she modified to be made reversible and is black on the inside because she believes that sometimes, stealth is the best solution.

Personality: Usually quite cheerful, she alternates between saying little and speaking when she has something to say to nattering on about whatever catches her amusement for quite a while. She's a fairly easy-going person, and believes that you should work hard now so you don't have to do anything later. Slightly contradictory in personality, she's lazy, but hard-working so she can afford to be lazy. She's loud and occasionally outrageous, but only so she'll be underestimated by others and she's observing everyone the entire time. And because she thinks it's fun.

Scholarships: Music, actually.

Interests: Violin, swordplay, reading, writing, running, explosions, messing with people's heads.

Other: She wants to be a mercenary as an excuse to see the world.
When 'messing with people's" heads, afterwards, she'll let them know if she isn't serious, but they usually don't believe her. Usually.

In that case, I'll go with Academic for the scholarship.
Power Level: 7

Nah it's fine. @Xolw; Acceptalicious!

Can I reserve a spot please?

Sure

Name: Rex Depo

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Straight/Heterosexual

Magic Spread:
Ignis: 40%
Aqua: 15%
Ventus:10%
Terra: 25%
Energy:10%

Hopeful Caste: Necromancers

Appearance: Rex is your typical teenage boy. He is tall, and has broad shoulders, almost built for physical fighting. He has short, dark brown hair, and brown eyes. Always wears hoodies and jeans. has several tattoos on his right arm, is used to solitude.

Personality: Rex is a thinker. Always planning his next move, whether it be for study, or for ulterior motives. He has a spiteful temper when provoked, but often knows how to keep it under control, simply remaining calm and subdued. Can be a great ally and a loyal friend.

Loves the fire arts, and has a fairly good grasp on it. Has started to research, to no avail, the daemonic and necromantic arts too.

Enjoys company, though some prefer not to spend time around him due to his hopeful Caste. He often struggles to receive the chance to show that he is just like anyone else, and would love to have a group of friends who didnt detest him for his choices.

Scholarships:

Interests: Acoustic Guitar, Horse riding, Swimming

Accepted, once you put a power level in. A few notes:

A) Remember this is in the past, so Accoustic Guitar would be a lute, and there wouldn't be hodies and jeans.
B) The Academy is in a desert, so swimming would be impossible
C) Necromancy is forbidden except for the small sect who are picked in the second year, and study of it privately would be illegal. However, it would be an interesting sub-plot, so I'll allow it.

Power level 8. And yeah sorry, Lute.
Swimming can be gotten rid of, he wont do sports.
And thanks for the Necro, It wont play a big part, if any (besides the odd hint here and there) until the right time pops up.

Sign-Ups are still open!
