Trinity Soul University Re-imagined OOC

[SUSTIC]

Koishi is now going to be in Dorm 106 with Talia and Caffei

[SUSTIC]

Double post but I'll give a tip to everyone. The Dorm's are sort of like small apartments. With a small living room, 3 bedrooms, and a small kitchen (plus bathroom.)

That's just a heads up to everyone. It's been like that in previous TSU's as well. So that's how I imagine it to be now, unless Tewi had changed it.

[Tewi_Inaba]

@Sustic: It's petty much like that. There are other public rooms that anyone can enjoy like a rec room with food and drink machines arcade games, pool tables and things like that, but only one or two things, it's not a chucky cheeses. I was debating on having showers on the first floor and having it so the bathrooms only have a sink and a toilet since I know most dorm buildings have it that way and it would allow for a bit more interaction, however some shy characters might not be able to deal with that. So i'll listen to your guys opinions on what you want it to be.

@Tewi

I honestly kind of like that idea and it does make sense for a Dorm in a way, but instead of 1 shower on the first floor how about this.

Each dorm 'apartment' has a small living room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms, and bathroom that only has a sink and a toilet.

While each FLOOR has a room fo Showers for the students. Because if you think of it like this, even though there are characters who are shy, not everyone will be in the showers at the same time (as not everyone showers at the same time and prefer to do so at different times), and if each floor has a shower, then there will be a bigger chance that the shower on one of the floors could be completely empty.


Meanwhile there is an actual bathouse on campus that's only open at night on weekends, and has genders kept separate.

EDIT: Besides having a somewhat anti-social character like Andrew (who has a bit of social anxiety, but does try to make friends and is honestly not as fragile as Trista) find a shower in the dorms that's completely empty, and then as he is showering, another character barges in to take a shower startling Andrew would be hilarious.


That actually reminds me of when Kenji corners Hisao Nakai in the male dorm's showers asking for money to order a pizza even though Kenji says he's not going to share because "Hisao has to go to class' in Katawa Shoujo

[Tewi_Inaba]

I like that idea. I will probably have it so all the new students, or at least the ones we rp as are all on the same floor though so we can have more interactions between characters.

[Tewi_Inaba]

@Mima: I finally got around to reading the GROUNDSKEEPER app and I don't think any modern school would hire a character like this who quote "disappears and night and comes back covered in blood." Physical violence against a student as punishment for littering or breaking something would be a big no no as well and could land the school in a lawsuit.

The character also has a lot of similarities to two other teachers. In both appearance and choice of weapons he's very similar to one of the teacher's that s1 made and I had already wrote in that one of the other teachers was the schools self asserted handy man. He basically upgrades the school wih new tech and make sure things either won't or are really hard to break.

Cass’ App:

Spoiler:

Name: Cassidy Newman

Gender: Female

Race: human

Age:20

Appearance:
She stands about 5’4’’ If she actually brushes her hair,wears contacts and gets some actual decent amount of sleep, she would look quite gorgeous. She also often wears a crystal necklace on her aswell, cause Karis made it for her. (image done by me myself.)

Spoiler:

Personality:
Cassidy is a friendly girl, she loves to try and make friends with people and wants to be someone that talks to people. But, she feels awkward not being able to talk to people and worried that if she tries to use her magic to communicate properly, she would blow their head off by accident. She also is a hardcore gamer, if someone mentions a game, she will loom around them and follow them, becoming this little stalker at some point, which kinda freaks people out, especially when she cannot speak. She also is fluent in sign language, but she knows a lot of people don’t understand that so she often looks quite weird and suspicious person with weird movements that might seem like she is trying to communicate. As she is a hikikomori, she prefers to stay in her dorms to play video games but was somewhat forced to go out half the time because of many different people, Karis for an example.

When she is around Karis, she becomes somewhat talkative person… as talkative as a mute human is and is seemingly a more expressive personality, seeming less creepy and more like an actual person.

Soul elements: ordo, mind, water

Soul Points:
Mind - 3
Water - 1
Ordo - 1

Abilities:
Cass has the ability to speak to people telepathically and usually lift thing off the ground by four meters, usually not that useful for attacking, she does however have the ability to draw water from the air to cast very basic water spells to defend herself.

Gear/luggage: If it's not listed here you're character will not have it in the rp. you don't need to list every outfit you want them to have

Bio: Cass’ mother was very poor when she was pregnant with Cass and her nameless lost sister. At a loss of what to do, she summoned a crossroads demon in hopes to save herself from having to have the heartache of having to raise a child while being poor and knowing the child itself isn’t her boyfriends. When she talks to the crossroads demon, she offers cash for a single newborn baby’s soul, thinking that it isn’t twins at all, and the demon agreed, intrigued on the offering and agreed, and helps her get cash, making her have enough cash to live off of. Everything she ever wanted was right at her feet, she could buy whatever she wanted to help her through it. By the time it came to birthing, she let out her first baby girl, while the demon gleefully took the soul of it away from her before she could grow attached and left, but the pain of birth was still there, she was told right then and there that she had another coming and that they needed a c-section to save her. Her mother was not only shocked but she cursed at fate for giving her twins at all. But after she saw the baby, she fell in love with her and wanted to keep the baby regardless of what her boyfriend thinks.

After a long a tedious argument with her boyfriend, she broke up with him and immediately regretted losing the other child to the demon, it was this point that she swore that she would never tell her daughter what she did to keep the two alive. But she had another hardship to deal with since at an early age she realized her baby would not cry or even talk at all, being a normal scared parent, she went to the hospital to find out that her daughter’s vocal cords did not develop properly and that she would never be able to speak throughout her life. This destroyed her and she spent the next years teaching her words and helping her daughter sign up for sign language classes. She had a very tough rest of her adolescence trying to communicate what she wanted by pointing and clapping to gain her mother's attention. When she got into school, every kid thought that her muteness was contagious and would avoid her at all costs, she didn’t care cause she was building sandcastles in the sandbox with princesses and knights and all the stuff kids usually imagine.

As she grew up though, she started to growing distant from others, not because she didn’t like them, but because no one knew what she was saying but she knew what they were saying, that's when she realized, if she wasn’t able to communicate with others, she would be unable to make friends and unable to be good at keeping friends. She decided to avoid making friends and learned about the wonderful world of the internet and video games. She then stopped even doing anything but video games, anime and school. It wasn’t until she was sixteen that she ran into a demon out of nowhere.

At first she tried to run away, but then this demon stopped her, the demon was a cute child and looked like she shouldn’t be old enough to even be without a mother. The little girl explained that she was the soul of her twin sister that she had absolutely no clue about until now, which pissed her off severely. Not only was this child claiming she was the same age as her, she was claiming she had a twin sister! That was preposterous! She decided to walk away when the girl stopped her, begging her to stop, and that's when it happened. The lockers out of nowhere suddenly slammed open and shut repeatedly, scaring the crap outta Cass and surprised the little demon girl. The little girl then realized what this was and explained the idea of magic to the scared 16 year old that had no clue of what was going on and instructed her to look into her mind. She followed the instructions of the little girl and managed to see things into her mind. She could see every little detail of her life and every year she had, she also saw the deal that her mother made and she quickly backed up, scared and confused. The little girl told her to confront the mother and she will see that her mom was lying to her all these years. She agreed.

When she got home she did exactly what the little girl told her to, and for the first time, the mother broke down into tears in front of her daughter, racked with regret of losing her little girl a chance to have a twin sister to help her out. Because of this, the little demon girl came out and looked at the mom, somewhat annoyed that she kept the secret for so long about her daughter, she told her that she was the soul before exclaiming that because of her actions, she ruined a chance to see the soul sister earlier and that she only got permission to see her if she didn’t cause any physical trauma to people. She then went into her sister’s room and found out that she was a gamer, The little girl suddenly got really really excited and decided if they couldn’t be sisters in the past they can be gamer sisters now.

For the next 3 years, she enjoyed the company of her “sister”, playing games, enjoying company of each other and defending each other no matter what the issue was. Every once in awhile they would pull hilarious pranks on each other in games and would laugh it off because of how stupid funny it was. After a while though, The little girl, who was now known to be Karis to her, told her about a university that can help her improve her magic called TSU. She told her that it can help her get better at telepathically speaking to others without risk and actually help her get in touch with more people and creatures who are exactly like her, newbies to magic and in need of learning from people. Plus she said the headmaster’s family is the most reliable and well known magic family to boot, making the school even more secure for safety. She agreed and even told her mom about it, letting her daughter go because she knows it will help her communicate with others and help her make friends.

Reason for joining the school: To help get better at telepathically speaking to people so that her life isn’t find an interpreter and constantly considered disabled.

Notes:This is paired with the Karis NPC App

Karis’ App (NPC)

Spoiler:

Name:Karis Newman

Race: Demon

Age:20

Gender:Female

Appearance: Looks like she is about 5 years old.


Personality:She is quite a bratty and whiny person around other people, even though she is a demon. She has a very trickster personality and sometimes tries to use her cute-like charms to try and convince people to do things they won’t normally do, it's how she wins most deception games like mafia or werewolf. When she is around her soul twin, she suddenly drops that personality and just starts to act like a really big gamer nerd and seems to be like her own personal interpreter for when people try to sign with her. She also is a personal wingman to help her get others to talk to her, telling them that she is a mute and can only speak through signing. It also helps to note that people don't necessarily trust her, so for strangers she doesn’t trust them right off the bat.

She has a house in valhalla and often goes to the market and sells things she made herself, to try and impress people. She doesn’t know the headmaster well but she believes that he is a kind looking man whenever she does see him and often just looks at him from corners and stuff like that(Like the little stalker she can be).

Info: Karis has the abilities to manipulate and control dark magic quite proficiently, she uses it to create miniature scythes made entirely of darkness and a few other spells, she also holds a small traditional scythe on her back if she goes far away from her house. She also is proficient in signing, cause she learned how to for the sake of her soul twin, Cass.

The only things I have yet to show of Karis’ backstory you really need to know is that throughout her demonic life she played video games and played mild pranks on those she got to know closely.

Ok, read both apps, while they are good, I have a question that has been bugging me for a while, which can probably be answered by Tewi or Sustic

The apps are good, although I find it odd for a 5 year old looking 20 year old girl, but meh, weird is the norm here haha.


Back to my question, when did the Merge occur? It seems that most human characters here have next to no knowledge about the magical ones.

[LilyScarlet]

@kristia she is a demon tho, so it seems alright to make her age 3x slower than the average person.

Yeah, it makes sense

[SUSTIC]

@Kristia.


First answer to your first question.

It really determines on the biology of a race. Most demons usually age at a slower rate depending on when they were born or created. Fully blooded demons age much slower than humans. So basically like...
They tend to have a rather early growth spurt before they hit a age wall where their aging stops. So like for the first 5-10 years of a full blood demon they will age like a human. Then it takes 10 years for said demon to grow in the same amount a human would grow in one year. Same goes for demons that created through contracts, as usually the soul of a human or other being that is taken by a Crossroad Demon's contract, is usually then turned into a demon soul which is given a physical form. Usually matching the age at which it is taken, then ages slowly like a demon.

Dwarves for example are kinda the opposite. They tend to age much like humans, but once they reach a certain age (like in their 50's-80's) they tend to start to... age more slowly. So it'll take much longer time for their hair to start to turn gray and stuff.

In short...

Aging for races can be weird and much different than humans. Always got to consider that.

Second question. Probably quite a good while ago. Doesn't mean that everyone will INSTANTLY know of every race. They might be FAMILIAR with races, but there are so many races of different cultures that are similar to each other. For example there are fox-spirits like Kitsune in other cultures people might be familiar with. So it would be hard to just immediately know, so some people will just not make assumptions. Some people (like Drake) just doesn't care about what race you are. As long as you aren't a total dick, you're good with him.

For example there are many different types of vampires in many different cultures. Like the strigoi (Romanian mythology) Some strigoi can be living people with certain magical properties. Some of the properties of the strigoi include: the ability to transform into an animal, invisibility, and the propensity to drain the vitality of victims via blood loss. Much like traditional vampires, however Strigoi have more complex means in mythology to dispatch them. As well as differences in how a strigoi is born (either through execution of a person, dying without being married, and various other odd things that must happen before or during death of the person, compared to vampires which are either born a vampire, or turned into one by another vampire or a curse.)


Andrew is also a case of a human who knows of other races, he just doesn't bother to make immediate assumptions about a beings race because it'd just be kinda rude.


Others just might not be familiar with the races in person, only knows of them from what they've read, but sometimes in the world around them in actuality, things could be vastly different. So it is safe to assume that even if the merge happened quite a while ago, not everyone will be familiar with things.
Hell some people before coming to the university, were too busy with things to do research on various races and species of magical beings.

In short...

I dun fuckin kno when the merged happened exact. I think it was some time ago. That's just my two cents on things.




Also

@LilyScarlet.

I read through the app and NPC app. Both are fine and good to go. Accepted.
ALSO AS A IMPORTANT HEADSUP FOR LILY'S CHARACTER CASSIDY. If she hasn't mentioned it already, Cassidy does have hands. Just because the image that Lily made doesn't show cassidy with hands, doesn't mean she lacks any hands. Cassidy does have hands, it's just a real pain to draw good looking hands.

Cass will be put in the same dorm as Zekai's character Chiha, and Tewi's Primula.


So here is the updated dorm list:


Male Doorm
102: Tristan, Svinn and Drake
104: Lucas, Natsu (STILL A PORN LOVER), and Hajime
107: Jason and Andrew

Female Doorms
103: Primula, Chiha, and Cassidy.
105: Alice, Trista and Isabelle
106: Caffei, Chiasa (currently known in public as Talia), and Koishi.
108: Ukana, Kathryn and Raiko

[Zekai]

Hmm................. Loli demon........... -instantly thinks of Lu- .................... Nough said

[LilyScarlet]

I made her for the sole perpose of being an interpretor of Cass, but she does pull pranks and does her own things too XD she is also not based off of lu but Karis the bi- i mean witch of a demon in elsword :P

[Tewi_Inaba]

apps look alright to me if not a bit silly. But a little silliness isn't a bad thing. anyway as of now i'm not accepting anymore applications for students as I don't want to deal with fixing new dorms and stuff now that most characters already have their keys and since most dorm rooms are full. If you want to add more characters later on please come talk to me about it first before making an app or send me a PM on the forums.

[SUSTIC]

@Lily.

Just go on and say it. We all know Karis is a whore in Elsword :P
