Prism Academy is a the most famous academy for young wizards and witches learning how to control their elements and such. While humans without magical abilities know nothing of the magical world, all other creatures do. This is because wizards and witches aren't just humans, they are also were-wolves, harpies, faeries, vampires, and so on. At the school they spend five years from the time they are fifteen or sixteen years old, learning magic spells and about their elements. Each one has a single element. Fire, water, earth or air. However rumors speak of three other elements. Dark, light, and the most elusive lightning. These seven elements are special to the world as they are also representative of the seven ancient families. While only six remain, the six work as rulers to the world of magic. So welcome young one to Prism Academy.

Plot: This is an academy RP, however there is a plot and it will be up to our characters to figure it out. Every element does not have a limit minus dark, light, and lightning obviously. While I'll be using light for my character, dark is open for people, and lightning as well. If two RPers want, they can have twins for the lightning element, not dark however. Also you don't have to be human, and you can create species, just send me in the species you want to create. If you want to be a werewolf, fairy, or harpy, then let me know, only because there are specifics on their species that relate to the plot. Vampires, Dragons, and Phoenixes are banned.

About the elements: Each element is stronger than another. Fire is stronger than air, air is stronger than earth, earth is stronger than water, and water is stronger than fire. Dark and light are constantly trying to vanquish each other, and lightning is in it's own special world and strikes down the main four elements. If a person controlling the light element is around two with the dark element, then they will be greatly affected and almost die. The reverse is the same for dark. The two must be balanced. Also for some reason they are always opposite gendered.

The ancient families: While the ancient families are represented by the elements, the fact has been lost through time. Each family however are a different species. Our characters will discover about the elements part of it, though I will still list for you guys. Akatsuki the family of reapers represented by lightning. Bazukai family of were-wolves represented by dark. Cereste family of elves represented by light. Dragonias family of humans represented by air. Ferian family of nymphs represented by earth. Ikadoshi family of summoners represented by fire. Sandeia family of healers represented by water.

About your characters: If you want to do something special with your characters then let me know and we will work it into the plot.

About the school and world:
The school is split into five dorms, each depending on the year that the student is in. The dorms each have a boys and girls side. Technology is present in the world, though most prefer not to use it, other than the more common things like pens and pencils. Cell phones are banned at the school, and one must use a school phone to contact family, though very few ever have one anyways in fear of humans using listening in and learning of their world. (Non magic that is). Students are not allowed pets or any kind of vehicles. Vehicles will be removed immediately, and checks are done constantly to make sure none are hidden around. Pets are left more lenient. Some manage to sneak and keep their pets with the teachers knowing. Not everyone knows their elements when first entering the school, and those that do not can be tested to see what their element is.

About Magic: Magic comes from one's element and while all have a basic use to it, they branch off into the elements. Magic can be combined with other magic, and used to enhance ones own abilities. These are things taught at the school. It is not known for magic to be able to combine with anything else, currently, though some will test their abilities, most failing. This may be due to lack of control, or their elements not agreeing with which they are trying to enhance. Magic can't generally go levitating things and such. This isn't Hogwarts folks, nor does it exist.

Name: Falk Freebird
Age: 16
Birthday: July 4th
Species: Human
Sexuality: Pansexual
Element: Lightning
Appearance: Falk practices martial arts as a hobby, and it shows. He's got a lithe, yet toned frame. His hair is blond, and he has bright green eyes. He has a pair of goggles he wears around his neck. They're tinted, which makes it easier for him to see what he's doing when he uses his powers.
Personality: Falk is a fairly laid-back person. He's very chill, and it's very difficult to anger him. He really likes power. He likes being able to shoot sparks from his fingers, being able to blow up lightbulbs just by poking them, and making his eyes glow in the mirror. His main hobby is trying to make his power do different things. No matter how inane, if he has the slightest idea his power might be able to let him do something, he's gonna try to learn. This is a man who spent hours blowing up batteries in an effort to recharge them with his magic. He also has a disregard for rules. They way he sees it, they were made to be broken. He also has a distrust of authority figures.

What's the tech level of this setting? Can Falk have a motorcycle? Also, does electricity include magnetism? What about creating storms?

I need to ask the same question as our good old HS: Would it be possible for someone to focus on combining magic with technology?
 
Oh, no, my dude won't use his magic to power machines probably, I just want a motorcycle if my dude can get one.
 
I'm referring to my character. I wanna have them make magitek. Also, a motorcycle isn't a bad idea anyway, since I am this site's token biker. ;)

I've edited the opening post to answer your questions and others that others may have. Also for further explanation, the whole area is pure nature so thats why its a no to vehicles.

Name: Bosq'ol
Age: 16
Birthday: March 13
Species: Satyr
Sexuality: Homosexual male
Element: Earth (I assume this includes things involving plants)
Appearance: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs37/i/2008/242/3/2/Satyr_by_Grusborg.jpg
Personality: Very reserved and introverted, has an immense respect for nature and the preservation of it, laid back and calm
Other: It's normally frowned upon among the forest satyr to interact with and receive magic training from humans, so Bosq'ol is taking a considerable social risk among his own kind.

What about skateboards? Also am I accepted?
 
@Karpi; Could I get some more personality please
1. I'm glad I quoted this to finally see how I "mention" someone!
2. I'd rather just demonstrate his personality through my writing, but...
3. If you really want, I'll provide more:

Bosq'ol has always felt like a bit of an outcast in the forest satyr tribe he comes from due to his open homosexuality, which while not specifically frowned upon, is expected to be something kept a secret. This is one of the causes for his introverted nature, and all the time spent alone with the trees and the earth is what led him to the study of earth elemental magic in the first place. Although he realizes that he can openly practice his magic and sexuality at the Prism Academy, he still tends to keep to himself because he normally only reveals perfected spells out of an anxiety of people seeing him screw up his half-finished spells. He feels an immense pressure to succeed out of a desire to show that he is just as capable as everyone else, and is likely to seek out the most gifted students as his few friends for this reason.

If it were not for the pressure of his magic education at the academy, Bosq'ol would prefer to live a more peaceful traditional life, and tries to introduce elements of the laid back satyr culture to everyone he meets, which are not limited to the use of herbal hallucinogens and the measurement of growth of plant species in the forest in a primitive type of ecology.

Good? I tried to give his motivations and desires the best I could, which I think is best demonstrated through a full background story that I will flesh out later.
 
@Karpi; Better. Accepted. And I am all for personality coming out in the rp, I just like more than one or two lines in sign ups especially when there is no history section. Also you mentioned about earth relating to plants. It is closest but they all do relate plants to a point. Also I like your species. Oh real quick what is his last name?
 
@Karpi

[12:03:57 AM] Hatsune Miku: Tell him his character has to be my character's ho.
[12:04:33 AM] Samus Ariana: you tell him
Okay, you head the lady. Your character is my dude's ho now.

Hmm... let's go with Thornhoof? The only canon where satyrs have last names is WoW, so I took something from there. But I promise this will be the only time I do that!
EDIT: Espezuña is better - the spanish version of the name to go with Bosq'ol.

God damnit that was quick.

Name: Amanda Reinaldi
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Orientation: Bisexual
Element: Dark

Appearance: She has long jet black hair that goes down past her shoulders along with black bangs that fall over her forehead. She has black eyes and an almost pale skin. She wears a long sleeved v-neck black sweater and a pair of black jeans along with round glasses over her eyes.

Personality: She's a very shy and reserved girl, usually trying to keep to herself and to her books. She's not one to take risks, mostly because she's always afraid of the things that could go wrong, because of this she tends to not stand out much to others. She dreams of one day having the adventures and going through things similar to the books she likes so much, even if it's pretty much impossible for her. Other than that she's also very calm and collected and always tries to deal with things in a more relaxed fashion, because of this she tends to come off as weak to others though.

Theme Song: None

Other: She has a love for mystery novels and sometimes dreams of solving some kind of big mystery

Personality: Well, I like to think I’m nice to everyone I meet. You know, until you give me a reason not to be anyway. Even if I am saying that myself. Which I am. But anyway. Gotta keep my head in the books - I’m trying new things that nobody else has ever done before with magic. Wanna know? Of course you do, I want to one day put magic and technology together - so the whole world can feel this amazing magic! It’s a little crazy, I know… but let’s just roll with it, okay?
Theme Song: You’ll have to give me some time on this one...

Name: Yuki Tamaki
Age: 16
Birthday: October 31st
Species: Neko Boy
Sexuality: Straight
Element: Air

Appearance: Yuki stands at 5,10 and weighs 135 lbs. His body is rathe slender but slightly leaned and toned. He has pale olive toned skin, with topa colored eyes that are quite cat like, and dark black hair with long bangs. Yuki typically wears a midnight blue hoody that has baggy sleeves with a pair of black cargo shorts and black combat boots. Yuki also has a pair of cat ears instead of human ones, and a long and thin black cat tail that protrudes from his tail bone.

Personality: Yuki is a bit hyperactive, and can come across as rather dim with a short attention span. He's boisterous and loud, and is also a little ditzy, but this bellies a cunning and resourcefulness that very few posses. He has a nasty temper, but instead of being loud and violent, he get's very quiet. (If he get's quiet, run!) This is mostly a brave face however, and Yuki actually has an inferiority complex and some trust issues. Yuki also doesn't take well to having his humanity questioned.

Other: Yuki's adopted into the Tamaki family, a family of strong Magi. However, since his foster father could not produce an heir, he adopted him. However, the rest of his family did not approve of him, and he was always ridiculed because of his cat like features, being called "Half Human" and "Beast".

I'm assuming there are no repeats anywhere. Meaning Earth and Air are also taken.
