Trinity Soul University: A Casual Magic RP (OOC)

@SUSTIC
Erm... I hope you realise that Julie is supposed to be a bit of a dick to people. Call her cute and she will find some means of harming you. She is a nurse and she has access to lethal objects.
But in honesty, I did want to find an image of a woman who was both nice looking and somewhat professional looking. Like everyone under the sun would.

Name: Andril Dallas

Race: Human

Age: 19

Bio: "Andy" as his friends called him, always had a weird knack for "Discovering" things. He'd be the first to spot cool rocks or bugs when he was younger, and as he grew, he came up with seemingly genius ideas for school projects. His life took a dramatic turn when his Highschool Sweetheart was accepted into Trinity Soul for her awesome Magical prowess, and he was stuck in the science fair being a complete nerd, alone and without a sweetheart to admire. Unfortunately, Andril's aptitude was for making things, little robots and other cool gizmos. Sure, he was a popular guy, but thats not what he wanted. He wanted more. He drive from youth to post-education was to aquire and learn more. He certainly wasn't the first idiot to attempt to blend magic and technology, and wouldn't be the last. Andril was, however, perhaps the first idiot to record results from his "exipirments". Instead of simply try and figure out how to blend the two, Andril purposefully played the two elements against each other in the hopes for a violent reaction. It wasn't the result he was studying, but the interaction. Andril came to find that there was energy being exchanged between the two elements--techonology and magic-- that caused them to reject each other. Even better, That energy wasn't simply reacting between the machine and magic, but with the people around as well. It wasn't magic that made technology malfuction, or techonology that made magic fizzle; it was people that made the two reject each other. Andril applied his findings to Trinity Soul in the hopes for being accepted so he could discover more about this "Hidden energy" people emmit to make the extremes of human enginuity oppose each other.

Gender: Male

Element(s): Summoning: Andril uses summoning to create and manipulate semi-robotic automations, which almost immidiately self destruct(usually Harmlessly) or break down. From this malfuctioning, Andril can then manipulate the awkward "hidden energy" he's named Metaformation. Thus far, Andril can only grasp hold of such concepts, and cant actually do anything with the energy to produces.


Luggage: Sciene books. Clothing, Computer Tool Kit. Other handy tools an electrician might have, such as a multimeter

Appearance:
Andril is a fairly normal looking guy, if not a bit too normal. Nothing about him really stands out. He has brown hair, stands at an average height and isn't handsome or ugly. He doesn't dress after any fashion normal does he reject social norms with his appearance. Indeed, perhaps the most striking feature about Andril is that he has no striking feautres at all.

Why did you come to the University?: To study "Metaformation"; the energy people produce that creates the schism between magic and technology

Personality:
Andril is up-beat and pleasant. He's usually distracted with his own thoughts, seeking after something his mind can never reach or playing with a new idea in his mind. He's prone to flights of fancy and excitement when discoveries can be made.

Other: Andril's "Magic" is not based on his own power, but how violent the reaction between magic and technology is. For example, a little robotic bird he summons himself that breaks down immidiately produces little energy. However, if that bird explodes or breaks down due to a powerful sorcerer next to him, the reaction is stronger, and thus more energy is produced (And to note: There are two people involved in this exchange now). The larger the technological forces and magical forces opposing, the more Andril has to manipulate.

Suggestions: (This is for any suggestions about the RP, like if you have any suggestions for me to add or fix.)

@Alayosho

Hmm... I don't really see all too much wrong with it. It doesn't seem like it's actually magic being used by a device he made, or a device that fuels magic or anything like that. Just normal summoning magic of which he summons a small robotic bird by what you said in Mumble is like your "traditional science fair" type of robot which isn't all too special while this Metaformation seems to be a unique concept and could explain why technology and magic haven't found a way to sort of "co-exist" in the sense that magic can be worked with machinery properly as it's a reaction between tech and magic that happens, thus creation the energy you call "Metaformation" (which SO sounds more like the name of the reaction lol.)

I already talked with you about it in Mumble, and I will have to get back to you on this after I talk with S1 and TRXD in private tomorrow hopefully. Then I'll let you know if it's accepted or not okay?

Addendum to Metaformation "magic", as requested by Sus:

Techonology has existed just fire using things like fire, electricy and light for years. So why, suddenly, does Magical Fire, electricity and light ect. make the techonolgy not work properly? Anyone can hold a match next to an electric fan and observe that nothing happens aside from maybe the fan blows the fire out. So why, when Jimbo the Fire mage places magical fire next to the same fan does the fan slow down, or even stop? The fan produces "Wind", by why is "Magical Wind" So different?

These questions are what Andril asked at first. Newbie Mage friends and he would get together, breaking countless dollar store doodads and gadgets in the pursuit of answers. The first clue came when the use of magical fire didn't affect the dollar fans as much when the intrepid students paid less attention to them. From this, they gathered people produce their own "Energy", and this energy is what causes the two variables to react the way they do. Similar expiriments with similar results were conducted: Video cameras would record results of technology or magic being exposed to the other at semi-random intervals. The number of participants was investigated, creating more positive results.




But enough about Andril. Lets get down to the real reasons, yes?

Yall ever play a game called Arcanum? Piece of art, that one. Anyone, Magic and Techonology had similar reactions. Mages couldn't ride the train, for example, because the train would BLOW THE F**** UP. Similar idea here, and that's what I'll use to describe this "Metaformation" Andril studies.


--Magic is a beautiful thing, created from nature and natural things. It can be considered the highest form of evolution for nature. Humans, being natural beings, can bond with and understand this evolutionary path, and thus, use and perfect magic and grow as sorcerers and witches and whathave you.

--Magic is hard, though, and some people are lazy, so instead they make complex machines and circuitry, cuz thats easier. This is taking nature (iron ore, other materials and whatnot) and tearing it apart and making it somethings its not, nor ever would be naturally (High carbon steel, circuitry, ect.). Humans, being industrious and thoughtful beings can bond with this disgusting rejection of nature as well.\\

Now for my interpritation of their opposing each other(Arcanum never really explains it well):

Magic, being a natural thing, rejects techonology, simply because they are polar oppisites. However, Magic is natural, and techonolgy produces no magical energy. A tree isn't gonna get up and punch a car (usually...) because it look at it funny, nor is the car gonna cause the tree to simply wilt and die (Fuel Emissions? Newb Alayosho...). Indeed, if raw magic were just sitting around, created by and bonded to not particular caster, it would have no affect, nor be affected by techonolgy. Its the human Soul and Heart that breaks the two apart. It cannot bond with two things that are so terribly opposed, and thus, it destroys them both equally. This, in and of itself, is magical, but also "techonological" in its workings with magic. Its a far cry from blending the two sources, but its the first step. Energy that is both Magical (Opposing Technology) and Techonological (Opposing Magic) at the same time. True mastery of this energy is where Magi-Tech would come from...some day perhaps.

Alayo, you beautiful man! I never thought I'd see you return here. Well, not in my time.
Oh my word, I'm reading through your app and it's great. I'm rather jealous of how flawlessly you could write such a thing. Whereas mine (Trista) needed several edits and a major rewrite, and it's still not perfect.

Right now, I'm going to have to think about it by reading this over and discussing it with the others. Metaformation is an interesting idea but I'm not sure on what this would mean for the others. But, in all honesty, I'm already loving the idea. Using arcane magic as a means of destruction (through metaformation)? Ufufufufufu~ People are going to get a big surprise in the future.

@SUSTIC

I don't know what you have been told, but I already talked with S121 about Sinuda and Tristan meeting some time ago.

@Katrix

Oh yeah.

I guess I chose the wrong time =-=

@TRXD

I'm a creator. My mind demands creation of me. Minecraft is a good place to build, but a terrible place to plot (Because I like to post fairly big when RP'ing). Eventually I had to return here. It wasn't a matter of if, but rather When.

@Alayo
And this is why I like you. Much like your character of embodiment, you have a way with people. A tongue that can charm many a man. And a spark in your eyes that bring people to their knees. When it comes to natural leadership and beauty, you surpass anyone and everyone.

Me? Nah. In the debate of who is the best immortal, I will always prefer Eirin over Kaguya.

But Eirin's not really immortal--just kind of because Lunarian.

As for the app, how does it check out? Are things Okay? Does variable "A" need to be tweaked? Thoughts from the Admin/Mods of the RP?
