Anywhere from five to ten player characters is my goal.OverconfidentMagi What amount of players are we looking for before we start?
Yup, if you want in just throw an application into the character vault.
Demonsoul
is accepted. You already know most of my thoughts on the character, and I look forward to seeing her in action, though I still think white hair is silly.
Aeshae
is accepted, despite terrible naming conventions and smelling a bit too close to generic faceless protagonist material. We'll see how he shapes up once things get rolling. Chalk as a medium, not something I'd come up with. That could be an interesting one.
RoyalPhoenix32
is currently not accepted. While I am all for taking on a character with crippling depression, what I have here before me is just crippling depression without any character I can find attached to it. The questions in the acceptance letter are generally meant to give the instructors a peek into the heads of the incoming students, but what Misaki wrote down is troubling to the point hat it's unlikely the school would have reached out to her at all. Her answers might as well read: I got a dead twin, hey dead twin here, btw my twin died, did I mention that my twin died? It's just painful to read, and not for the reasons it could be. Setting that gripe aside, I also have to ask what she means in her goal, and I suppose her answer to the magic question as well. You also forgot to put in the character's medium and the shape their summon will take. Whatever help you need on the road to hammering this into a workable character, just let me know.

Whoops, I'll fix her up to me more presentable
OverconfidentMagi
finished with Misaki. Still debating on either going for one of three mentioned. Trying not to be overly strong with her.
Ascarer
is accepted. I like the family dynamic presented. But seriously, death fetish. You people have a problem. Aside from that unexpected speed bump, most of the questions are having the expected answers.
CactusJuice
is accepted. Not much to say here, I like how the character is written.

"Strong" doesn't really apply here. For the most part, all of your summons will be equally useless in terms of any sort of fighting. By the time that is no longer the case your characters will have been taught plenty of ways to cover their weaknesses and boost their effectiveness.
It is? I-I mean, of course it is!
QuirkyAngel
is accepted. I appreciate him having his own life and goals already, and that him falling into this story might not align with that goal at all. It should be interesting at the very least.

The medium will need to be changed though. No part of a living creature (plants being the occasional exception) is allowed as a medium, so hair is out, and especially no human hair. That'd open a huge can of worms, one I'd rather keep stored away for later.
@ everyone
That puts us at the goal! Yay! I'll work on getting everything set up to start with IC posting later today if time permits. Don't worry if you wanted to get a character up still, I will announce when this is no longer accepting characters. In all likelihood you have a few more days, but do try to get your character in sooner rather than later.
Silk or gum are both perfectly fine.
I should probably do a better job of explaining why I said no to hair. It's not that it doesn't work as a medium. Hair, so long as it's cut, is a perfectly valid medium. Hell, no one would bat an eye at something made of human hair being used as a medium. But the closer a material is to something alive, and especially human, the more it's frowned upon. Dead things and the mechanics behind mediums' summons do not go together well. And no one likes necromancers, they're creepy.
