Basically, this is a place to chat while in-character as your magi. Not an RP exactly, though - you can talk normally if you want to, or delve a little more into the RP side of things and describe your settings, etc. if you want. It's pretty much a free-for-all. Just chat about your day and MS things in the context of the MS world.
Character forms are completely optional, they're just to help people who are more interested in the RP-ish side of things to describe people they're interacting with.
Also, there should also be some sort of fancy introduction text or whatnot in this post, so if anyone who's more writerly feels like doing that, it'd be much appreciated :>

Magi Name: Anorëa Fairvale Mirithil (Anorëa meaning Sun-sea and Mirithil Starmoon in Tolkien Elvish *winks*)
Age: 16 years
Gender: Female
Species: Human, but mother claims kinship with Elves and Mermaids.
Goes by: Ara
Appearance: Quite tall, neither fat nor slender. Skin shines with a pearly light*. Fingers are unusually long, nails very short and neatly clipped. Waist-length hair (coffee brown, but shines with a reddish-light under the sun) is quite straight, except for a few shorter, curlier strands that frame her face. Eyes are brown and almond shaped, and seem to shine with flecks of starlight.**
*This was a notable feature of all her maternal ancestresses, hence why they claim they are of Mermish descent.
**This was a notable feature of all her maternal ancestors, hence why they claim they are of Elvish descent.
Clothing and Accessories : Ara prefers comfort to fashion, so she usually wears trousers and boots. When she's in the mood to scare people (her father often said "When you're angry, where your best clothes because that will frighten people."), or when it's a formal occasion, she wears a dress of scarlet silk shot through with gold thread and embroidered with pearls. She has a white cloak, fastened at the throat with a maple leaf-shaped brooch, that can hide her when she wills it. She has two daggers, heirlooms given to her by her mother, which Ara keeps at her side at all times. She wears around her neck a small gold-and-crystal pendant, which was also an heirloom from her mother. On the first finger of her right hand is a simple rose gold ring, set with a pearl, that had been in her father's family for many, many generations.
Personality: Very moody, can be rather nasty when upset. Her mind works really fast, so sometimes it's hard to understand what she's saying as she speaks so quickly. Getting her to laugh is probably the easiest thing to do...but so is making her angry. Extremely loyal to her friends. Be mean to her, she'll pay you back tenfold. Be nice to her, she'll pay you back a hundredfold.
Magic: Extremely skilled in water magic (but for some reason she can't swim). She has an amazing voice, which sometimes actually helps with her spellcasting.
Companions: Not very many, as she prefers studying lore and music in the Keep to venturing out on dangerous quests. A magnificent Golden Alicanto by the name of Miriel and a mischievous Tenera Dog called Trouble constantly accompanies her. Ara's preferred steed is the unicorn Maera, who can sprout wings and fly and even swim underwater without ever surfacing to breathe.
History/Background: Ara was an only child. Her mother had been born in the Callisto Islands, where the Fairvales were famous because
1) they claim descent from Elves and Mermaids
2) most of their females had been Magi
Ara's father, on the other hand, was an ordinary soldier who was often away fighting. When Ara was seven years old and still living with her mother in their hidden cottage by Lake Lakira, news came to them that he had died in battle. Her mother then made the decision that would change Ara's life forever: they moved to Synara City. Six years later, when her mother died suddenly of the plague, she went on a difficult journey and finally arrived at the Keep, where she began her training as a Magi. Now sixteen years old, she has become an expert in water magic, and is famous in the Keep for her lovely voice. She is also the star pupil of the Keep's best Swordsmaster, which is another reason why it's a good idea not to get on her bad side
Other: Ara has a habit of daydreaming. A lot. And when she daydreams, she stares at an empty space in the air for a long, long time. So, if you find her staring at you, she's probably not looking at you directly, but beyond you, if you take my meaning

Magi Name: Miya Monav
Age: 15 years old
Gender: Female
Species: Human, 1/4 Demon
Goes by: Mii
--Appearance--
Height: 5'0
Weight: 110 lbs
Build: She's not slim, but she isn't fat either. At first sight she doesn't have any muscles but in fact she's very muscular and strong, despite being so petite.
Skin: Her skin is rather pale.
Hair: Long and a bit curly brown hair with long forelock.
Eyes: In colour of dark wood.
Face: Cute face, chubby cheeks with lots of freckles on them.
Voice: Low voice. She often shouts without reason, even don't knowing about it. She can't sing, trust me, you don't want to hear her singing.
Other important/identifying features: Mark on her left cheek.
Clothing: Mostly she wears black jeans, light T-shirt and dark blouse onto it. On her left wrist she wears and old watch. During dark nights she gets into black cloak to go hunting.
--Personality--
General overview: Mii spends most of her time wandering and looking for some gold or things to do. She always has a time for others but she's also quit lazy. She likes to laugh with friends, but her sense of humor may be weird for others as she laughs of some stupid things. She's extremaly shy, and that makes her difficult to interact with others, but she does her best and is open to meet new people. Anyway, Mii mostly prefers spending some free time alone or with her creatures. One of her defects is that she likes fighting with random persons, which is possibly linked with her demon identity. But despite that, she also uses her martial skills to protecting weaker people. She hates injustice and her biggest goal is to make world a better place (which is propably impossible).
Loves: Reading books, listening to music, buying some new things and earning money, fighting.
Hates/Fears: Have a fear of swimming. She hates injustice and bullying weak persons and creatures.
Strengths: She is very intelligent. Mii is very tolerant and that makes her able to accept any person as a friend (but even she has her own limits). Thanks to that skill she doesn't have enemies. Almost every creature trusts her and sees in her friend, not foe.
Weaknesses: She easily gets in anger and shouts when nervous. Besides, Mii is extremaly shy, especially in company of boys. But her biggest weakness is really bad English.
Personality in one word: Boring?
Companions: The Temple Dog named Jaylen and Maka the Hippogryph.
--History/Background--
Family/Friends: Her family is unknown. Her only comrade is her imaginary friend named Hammock.
Backstory: When she was young she was left by her family and one old Magi took her and brought her up at his home in Hell. Then he taught her about her origin: that she is in a small part demon and is destined to become Dark Magi. She accepted her fate but few years later she escaped from her keeper and wandered for some time alone. Then she arrived at Magi's world, where she decided to become a simple Magi, not Dark Magi (in fact this history should be longer but Mii's English is very poor).
--Combat--
Fighting Style: Mii mainly uses her karate skills. She also uses her small size.
Element: Darkness.
Weapons/Gear: She loves to use her baseball bat, which is really fearsome.
Special Abilities: Darkness fury - 5.
Physical Attributes: She's very strong and fast, due to her small size.

Magi Name: Cass
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Goes by: Cass
Appearance: A female of moderate height and average build, she is short-sighted and wears silver-wire-frame glasses. Whilst in the Keep, Cass prefers to wear comfortable clothes, more often than not a set of clothes made of black silk (which she harvested and dyed herself) and a green bandanna. She goes out on expeditions a lot to discover new areas and creatures, and will dress appropriately while she's traveling, but on more casual expeditions she prefers to wear a tan tee-shirt, durable canvas pants, hiking shoes, and of course, her trademark green bandanna.
Personality: She's pretty easy-going, though like all people she'll have her ups and down, getting snippy at times.
Magic: She has limited skills in a variety of disciplines, being interested in many things but unable to practice them all sufficiently. Her pride and joy is a cloak of black silk that is enchanted; when she wears it and activates the spell, she turns into a large flightless bird.
Companions: Cass is very partial to invertebrate companions.
History/Background: Cass moved from place to place for a bit until her family finally settled down at the Keep. She's enjoyed it there very much, and is now enrolled in its classes. By chance, she managed to obtain a position at the keep, doing research and traveling to distant corners of the continent to search for new creatures. Currently she's just living life and letting things happen to her.

Full Name: Gryphon Octavius
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Goes by: NA
--Appearance--
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 180lb
Build: Stocky and slightly on the plump side, but fairly well-muscled under it from carrying the tentacles for several years
Skin: Fair. Being a lab rat she doesn't get out much.
Hair: Red-brown
Eyes: Gray
Face: Pretty, but not stunning. High cheekbones. Very expressive, particularly around the eyebrows. Wears rectangular-framed glasses and is blind as a bat without them
Voice: Alto, well suited for dry humor and snark. Tends to speak very quickly and trips over words
Other important/identifying features: Four living-metal tentacles (or 'actuators'), each tipped with a trio of powerful, dextrous pincers arranged around a glowing gem, that seem to grow from her lower back. These are actually attached to a sub-dermal metal harness attached to her skeleton. Their permanently-attached state is the result of an accident.
The actuators are intelligent and operate independently from their host, communicating with her directly through her nervous system and following her directions. Each has a distinct personality and name- from the upper right and moving clockwise, they are Flo, Mo, Larry, and Harry.
Appearance:
Clothing:
Favors layered clothing and vests. Usually seen in blues, grays, blacks, and occasionally dusky purples- twilight colors. Rarely goes out without a long, charcoal-black coat that the actuators hide under
--Personality--
General overview: A fairly quiet, withdrawn young woman with a sharp sense of humor and a preference for working alone, Gryphon likes to spend most of her time in her lab tinkering with her magitech and talking to her actuators.
Among the actuators, Flo and Mo are the smartest. Flo is the least trusting of others, Mo is curious and affectionate. Harry is the quiet one and Larry can get rather aggressive. All are fiercely protective of Gryphon. Since they can be exceptionally deadly when enraged, Gryphon's trained them to engage in threat displays before attacking in order to reduce casualties.
Loves: Books, science, banter, making things/figuring out how to make things
Hates/Fears: Having the actuators accidentally harm someone
Strengths: An almost encyclopedia-like knowledge of sciences and crafts, innovative
Weaknesses: Is easily distracted by books and puzzles. Prone to rambling on about scientific things. Tends to isolate herself because of the actuators and how people react to them.While she knows science and crafts and a general sense of how people work, she does not really know the local cultures and histories.
Personality in one word: Innovative
Quirks: Often talks to the actuators out loud
Anything else:
Companions: Male Cardinal Gryphon Molina, male black Tienko Kyp, female Temple Cats Sugieh and Sheeba, male Temple Cat Solomon
--History/Background--
Family/Friends: A smith-mage, Daja, who first created the living metal and helped Gryphon craft the actuators
Backstory: A young science major and geek, an odd magical accident drew the girl who would later go by Gryphon Octavius into the world inhabited by magi and their magical companions. She found her way to the Keep and, since the masters there couldn't figure out a way to send her home, decided to stay. She adopted the name Gryphon, for her favorite magical creature, and Octavius in honor of her favorite fictional scientist, Dr. Otto Octavius. Upon meeting a young smith-mage named Daja, who specialized in working with a magically-created metal that lived and grew, Gryphon worked with her to create the actuators (inspired by Dr Octavius) to help her with her research. The result were four sleek metal tentacles attached to a harness Gryphon could wear.
Being the geek she was, Gryphon should have known the recreation of Dr. Octavius's famous tentacles would invite irony. An evening working with a power crystal she did not realize had a flaw in its matrix resulted in a second magical accident that fused the harness to her body. When she recovered, she retreated to her lab to work and adjust to her new companions.
--Combat--
Fighting Style: Setting the actuators to snapping, clawing, ripping, and slamming into anything trying to attack her is her main MO, tempered by clever tactics.
Weapons/Gear: The actuators are extremely fast, strong, and intelligent. Between them and a few varieties of magical shields and offensive spells, Gryphon doesn't need much.
Special Abilities: 5- the tentacles. 4- her brain. 2- her own magic, which is geared mainly towards shields and working with the kinds of energies she uses in her lab work.
Physical Attributes: Gryphon relies on her brain and the superhuman reflexes, processing speed, and strength of her actuators to get out of scrapes. Physically, she's a pretty squishy human, except for under the skin of her torso- after her accident, her skin healed over the living metal of the harness, resulting in a sort of subdermal armor that mainly serves to help strengthen her body against the grueling forces exerted by being hauled around by four fast-moving tentacles, but helps protect her from any odd attacks that actually get past them.

Tends to isolate herself because of the actuators and how people react to them.While she knows science and crafts and a general sense of how people work, she does not really know the local cultures and histories.
Personality in one word: Innovative
Quirks: Often talks to the actuators out loud
Anything else:
Companions: Male Cardinal Gryphon Molina, male black Tienko Kyp, female Temple Cats Sugieh and Sheeba, male Temple Cat Solomon
--History/Background--
Family/Friends: A smith-mage, Daja, who first created the living metal and helped Gryphon craft the actuators
Backstory: A young science major and geek, an odd magical accident drew the girl who would later go by Gryphon Octavius into the world inhabited by magi and their magical companions. She found her way to the Keep and, since the masters there couldn't figure out a way to send her home, decided to stay. She adopted the name Gryphon, for her favorite magical creature, and Octavius in honor of her favorite fictional scientist, Dr. Otto Octavius. Upon meeting a young smith-mage named Daja, who specialized in working with a magically-created metal that lived and grew, Gryphon worked with her to create the actuators (inspired by Dr Octavius) to help her with her research. The result were four sleek metal tentacles attached to a harness Gryphon could wear.
Being the geek she was, Gryphon should have known the recreation of Dr. Octavius's famous tentacles would invite irony. An evening working with a power crystal she did not realize had a flaw in its matrix resulted in a second magical accident that fused the harness to her body. When she recovered, she retreated to her lab to work and adjust to her new companions.
--Combat--
Fighting Style: Setting the actuators to snapping, clawing, ripping, and slamming into anything trying to attack her is her main MO, tempered by clever tactics.
Weapons/Gear: The actuators are extremely fast, strong, and intelligent. Between them and a few varieties of magical shields and offensive spells, Gryphon doesn't need much.
Special Abilities: 5- the tentacles. 4- her brain. 2- her own magic, which is geared mainly towards shields and working with the kinds of energies she uses in her lab work.
Physical Attributes: Gryphon relies on her brain and the superhuman reflexes, processing speed, and strength of her actuators to get out of scrapes. Physically, she's a pretty squishy human, except for under the skin of her torso- after her accident, her skin healed over the living metal of the harness, resulting in a sort of subdermal armor that mainly serves to help strengthen her body against the grueling forces exerted by being hauled around by four fast-moving tentacles, but helps protect her from any odd attacks that actually get past them.

Magi Name: Kia Desiren
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Species: Sorceress (not really human)
Goes by: Kia
Appearance: Kia is just over five feet tall, but has a good body shape and sinewy muscles, even though she is quite thin. Her straight raven black hair is usually tied up in a long pony tail, which swings over her lower back when she moves. Kia's eyes are the same color as her hair, but they glow a fierce white when she is using high level magic. Her skin is a soft bronze from training in the sun, and she often wears a sleeveless black tunic paired with a tight-fitting pair of pants. She wears black leather sandals, as she believes that the buckles on boots interfere with her magic. A black belt is fitted around her waist, and she never goes anywhere without her black hooded cloak.
Personality: Kia is cold-hearted, and doesn't care for company, as she'd rather be alone by herself, or with Echo, her Lunar Fox. She'd rather devour books and practice spells (on the poor trees) than 'hang out' with any of the other students in the Keep. She is very observant, and her trust is very hard to gain, especially if you insult her in any way. There are only a few people who have conversed with her in any way. However, she is very gentle to creatures, but obviously ignores those who have anything to do with light magic. She is more street-smart than book-smart.
Magic: Kia is skilled in all basic uses of magic, but her strongest is dark magic. This includes balls and bolts of dark magic which she can shoot out of her hands and mind magic (telekinesis, mind-reading and bending people’s minds to her will). She is currently working on mastering shape-shifting into a dark creature, which every dark magi must learn to do at some point in time.
Companions: Echo, her Lunar Fox hatchling, a gift from another magi who she named the fox after.
History/Background: Kia was born on the streets to a poor couple, who were extremely disappointed when they had a girl instead of the boy that they were always hoping for, and even worse, discovered that she was a magic user. They sold her as a slave to a mysterious, old woman when she was seven, but soon Kia found out that she was in fact a dark magi. However, the magi had never treated her as a slave, instead teaching her to master the dark arts of magic, which Kia became more or less obsessed with. Her mentor died on Kia's thirteenth birthday, leaving the young girl with everything she owned, which was to be given to Kia on her eighteenth birthday.
When Kia arrived at the Keep at the age of ten, she was taken in by a good friend of her mentor's, and has been constantly trained by him ever since. She was and still is his only student, but as the years went by, Kia found herself sitting in other magic lessons, most of which she mastered quite easily, and brought her up to rank four. However, when she was requested to attend a lesson about light magic, she punched the other magi in the face and literally disappeared into thin air.
Other: She kicks ass.
