Fantasy War of the Magi [OPEN] (Character Creation and OOC)

[Quibbles]

Btw. So far I was thinking Kodoku and Pozuzy as roommates, since the two could have interesting interactions.

Reasonable. It is possible that Kodoku could indeed find joy in Pozuzy's pranks and would likely be judged less by another creature less interested in the ethics that others espouse. His terminal goal seems to be "fun" via his pranks in the same way that Kodoku seeks pleasure as a terminal goal. The contrast of those two approaches could indeed be interesting while also not being so stark as to lose nuance or instantly devolve into an intolerable situation for either of them.

Exactly. It could make for some interesting interactions. Kodoku could help potentally teach Pozuzy self control in terms of pranks and restraint.

 

[Quibbles]

Potentially, but that would mean Pozuzy suffering consequences for his actions that he actually cared about. He's had hundreds of years and apparently hasn't learned that self control. I'm not sure what Kodoku is going to teach him in that arena that he hasn't already learned. The main thing that keeps Kodoku under control is the fact that it knows some actions produce desirable outcomes in the short term but not the medium term. Pozuzy literally has lived the long term and seems to find that his behavior works for him. The fact that people don't like having pranks pulled on them hasn't been sufficient deterrent. I would have to imagine that threats to his continued existence, and therefore his ability to continue to enjoy his pranks, either haven't manifested or haven't proven sufficiently threatening enough. Basically, he's got hundreds of years of proof that his way of life works and Kodoku can only really speak to a limited experience and general theories.

We will see how things go if they end up going down that route, but Kodoku has an uphill battle there if it plans to teach restraint and self control. While it has learned the lessons well, it seems likely that Pozuzy is more likely to "corrupt" Kodoku as Kodoku gains more power and control and has less to fear from others. Suddenly all those potential consequences for Kodoku's actions start to disappear much as they have for Pozuzy and it is much worse than him because Kodoku's desires go beyond just funny pranks.

Hundreds of years in hell, not hundreds of years in the mortal world. Because of that he's never had any real consequences. That will quickly change though now that he's in the mortal plane.

But either way, it'll be fun to see what happens

 

[Quibbles]

Indeed. Both of those possibilities are rich with potential and there are plenty of other stories to tell with them. I was just exploring the thought.

Oh of course. I'm looking forward to it.

Few things.

First. The Academy is the Magi Arcane Academy, not Serenity Academy.

Since Nei is a Griffin, and in some Mythology Griffins can naturally have wind magic, Nei can have Wind magic naturally allowing you to choose something else.

Same with Toasty, he'll be able to naturally since he's a fire phoenix.

Lastly. What is Abjuration Magic exactly? Can you expand on that please? Thanks

They put serenity academy because it's for a diff RP / Used from a diff rp

Lol I figured as much.

Sorry.

Abjuration is essentially protection and defensive magic, creating barriers, negating other abilities, and harming/banishing trespassers.

 

[phibglib]

By the way, how does the time table work exactly? Are all the students attending each class in the same order?

 

[ShinyEve]

Sorry.

Abjuration is essentially protection and defensive magic, creating barriers, negating other abilities, and harming/banishing trespassers.

No need to be sorry.

What is the difference between Abjuration and protection magic then in your case?

Also. What do you mean strength magic? Do you mean something like enhancement magic?

 

[phibglib]

Well, in Nei's case, the label "abjuration" didn't feel right, since I figured he probably wouldn't be studying it formally. And for strength magic, yes, that's basically what I was going for.

 

[ShinyEve]

Ah ok. So they share the same magic more or less? Just one is more advanced I'm guessing?

 

[phibglib]

Yep

 

[ShinyEve]

Yep

Ok cool. Both Accepted then.

Oh. Just letting you know. Dragons and Phoenix's are at war but are on a temporary truce due to the Magi war.

 

[ShinyEve]

CHUUYAS_HAT

Just letting you know as well

 

[phibglib]

I'd still like to know how the time table works.

 

[ShinyEve]

I'd still like to know how the time table works.

Oh. Sorry I completely forgot to answer that.

Basically, all the students will follow that time table together.

Don't worry though, the lessons like English, Math, etc we won't be focusing on too much. Especially when things get going.

 

[ShinyEve]

Sage Buer and Cherry Rose
Agnes Juni and Andalm Stundern
Obsethine Diamond and Prince Ali Sekhemi
Kodoku and Pozuzy
Cress Everdeen and Manta
Piper Elderwood and Green
Cerralei Stundern and Moon

So far, this is what I am thinking.

Characters are still being made however so this could change a little but what does everyone think so far?
