GAME START

[wandering_eye]

Classes are now open for the spring! What's that, you say? The time scale is a month off from that? More importantly, look over there! Something distracting!

There's a bunch of new students coming in this quarter. Is one of them you? Optionally, reply to this post and clarify how new or established your character is to the setting as of this moment. Otherwise, just go make some posts and have fun.

But not too much fun. This is an institution of learning, after all.

Annie is brand new at game start! She doesn't even know that magic is real.

Hi roomie.

[wheretheresacrop]

Franziska's been here since late September, but she still doesn't know magic is real. No seriously, why are you doing weird stuff all the time, other students?

There's got to be some explanation as to why her suitemate doesn't have a head, right?

[sage_of_aspio]

Perhaps Fran and Rita were roommates last semester? Though she seemed to disappear a lot. And sometimes a cat was in the room and staring at Franziska for hours on end. Did she see the cat using Rita's tablet once?

[reckless_but_loyal]

Hector's been attending the school since... 6th is the earliest grade we have, right? Magic runs in his family, so he's very used to it.

[sun_sun]

7th, actually, but the point is made regardless.

Equius is a brand new student this month! He is VERY MUCH aware of the fact that he, himself, is an ALIEN. But, the truth about everyone else remains a STUNNINGLY WELL HIDDEN MYSTERY. He would have figured it out sooner, if only he cared enough to.

Jaime had his weird world awakening last summer, when he found the scarab and subsequently went on an inadvertent rampage trying to figure outhow to use it. It was cut short by one of the faculty. I'm imagining Jones, but am open for suggestions if some one else wants to have done that. Since then, he started going here at the start of the school year, and has been simultaneously getting used to the existence of magic and monsters AND getting used to how much colder and wetter it is here compared to Texas.

[losingherhead]

Celty's been here three years! And does not have a head so she's pretty sure magic is real.

[infinitejustice]

Athrun is new, but he is aware of magic and supernatural phenomena. He's just been good at concealing his abilities on his own -- well, that and his father is a suspicious man. And that's why he's only arriving now.

[unidentifiedandfantastic]

Nue's very new, but she's an alien, so she's definitely aware of all the weird stuff.

[snowfake]

A, Alien? Weiss is just going to be very WHAT at this.

[clockworkheals]

Tsukiko's been here for a couple of years by now. Enough that everyone knows she pretty much lives in the library. She's very much aware of magic and all that jazz.

[graveyardmoon]

Artemis was here last year! He has known about weird magic stuff his whole life and knows this is a school for weird magic stuff, but he kind of enjoys watching other kids figure it out on their own.

[diethedesu]

10th Grader Dlanor A. Knox has been going here (and aware of the supernatural) for a year and a half. She's had the student handbook and rules memorized for one day less than a year and a half, and been a hall monitor for a year now.

[sage_of_aspio]

Rita's been at the academy for literally several grades before 7th, living there in lieu of being a ward of the state (Oregon CPS isn't equipped for people-cat-cat-people). Anyone who isn't new has probably seen her at least once.

[all_onis_are_true]

Hiroshi has JUST been enrolled in the school after having it presented under the pretense of being an elite academy to his parents. He is also very, very unhappy because the fact that he's already SEEN supernatural beings means the glamors don't do a thing for him.

[duckduckdeux]

Duck's lived at the academy her entire life!

...Of course, that was as a duck, in the duck pond out back.

She's a new student, but she didn't exactly transfer in. More like she suddenly showed up and the staff treats her like she's always been there. So most students probably just think she was around and they never noticed her. (How you could possibly not notice her is beyond me.)

[snowfake]

Oh Weiss isn't going to like that attention at all. Who is this new girl and why is everyone acting as if she's been here this entire time-?! Unheard of!

[hair_guitar]

Ellen's been around a couple of years now as a permanent resident on the campus so there's a good chance returning students have seen her kicking around. She's totally aware of all the weird, magical stuff

[starlightheart]

Nanoha's been teaching for a little while, but compared to some of her peers is still... extraordinarily young compared to a lot of them, even around 25 years old. She knows about magic of course, and has since she was a young girl, which is good considering that besides being the PE Teacher, she's here to teach you the art of utilizing magic in combat. Something she's actually a little strict about! For reasons.

[worldcup]

Illya's been around ever since 7th grade, so she's been around for many years. She's definitely aware of all of the strange magic, having known about it all of her life.

Anyone who isn't new should have seen her at least once, though she does a mind wipe for the mundane students so they don't realize that she doesn't age.

[swarmoflies]

Hey roomie! We should have a moving-in log together.

[sageofwisdom]

Zelda's been here for three years now, and is fully aware of the supernatural. She came to the school after a single year in regular school and seems to feel more at home here. She's in her last year, and is a little bit nervous about graduating and leaving, definitely.

She's also a foreign student, so she definitely lives on campus.

[snowfake]

Finally someone in the suite who has lived a stable life. I suspect since Weiss has been here for a year and takes frequent trips out for family matters that she could bring back stuff for Zelda, you know. For being COOL, she supposes.

So if she has favorite snacks or articles of clothing she likes, maybe little things like that? Not that she's trying to suck up, but if they're going to be in the same breathing space it's only NICE to do these things.

[forgottenmagia]

Byakuren's been a teacher for about 10 years now! Obviously v much aware of the magic being that she NEVER SEEMS TO GET ANY OLDER .

Uh, on that note I'm still deciding on what she teaches..........

[swarmoflies]

Sette is a new student (for a certain value of 'student') in the seventh grade. New to the school, new to the country. She knew going in that the school specialized in 'special' kids like her, but even if she didn't she'd figure it out pretty quick because of the smell

magic STINKS

THIS IS LIKE LIVING IN AN OUTHOUSE

[seed_of_memory]

Fate is the English teacher, and is relatively young compared to her peers despite having taught for several years. She also knows all about magic, and the other course she teaches involves the study of magical tomes. She's a rather serious, but still warm and approachable member of the faculty.

[breepbreepbreep]

Tony's been around for... well, most of the academy's timeline, having thrown in his lot with St. Augustus a few years after its founding. He's as old school as old school gets.

[partyhats]

Fresh transfer! She knows about magic, but not about all the weird ways it manifests or the majority of supernatural beings.

[angelicspear]

Charity's been around for about a couple of years, about when she became aware of her angelhood. She's a sweet girl who doesn't usually cause trouble. Unless someone does something to especially piss her off (usually bullying or breaking an important rule--she can overlook minor infractions).

[snowfake]

Weiss has been here for a year now which is impressive considering her track record with previous establishments (which will not be brought up whatsoever or else). Sometimes she leaves for an entire weekend to tend to family matters, but returns in time for classes to resume. She's never missed one to date, not even when she's sick.

Shiki is a brand new transfer who just arrived. Her part of the room was set up by servants dressed in suits before they left her and it's probably her first week. Since arriving, she hasn't seemingly left her bed.
