So Im getting things rolling. Basics for you all to know as most information will be learned throughout the rp inside of classes. But the days mentioned in my recent post as Issac are corresponding to the literal days of the week. If you are busy and your character misses a day of posting take it as you have missed a day of class in school. Just ask a classmate for notes and hope they are nice enough to share. As for the dorm consider it outside of time. You may post there with your partner or any other member of the school whenever even if a class is in session. It doesn't mean you are in two places at once or anything. But this is only true while on academy grounds. I am aware this system rewards pairs that are more frequent posters but at this point in the rp the only real time anyone should be shifted is in class with instructor so special action allows your shift even if the amount of poost required hasn't been shared. But leaving the campus is something that will become available and having some stored essence would be nice. So feel free to take it slow. But remember to have a strong bond you need time together. Even if its just sitting down to lunch.<br/><br/>Now for dragon transformations and half shifting. Essence is required. Every 5-6 post shared between you and your partner acts as one hour of stored essence. Until you  learn to harness and use more each pair now only has a max of two hours they can store. Within academy grounds your time is extended for training purposes so your one hour is basically two. Once this is only within the academy grounds. While in a shifted form every 8-10 post is considered an hour of essence use. Of course you may choose to shift back if need be to persevere.<br/><br/>How you interact with your pair will be watched by myself and Godic my fellow gm to see how your bond is. Results will be given by weekly to give way to further abilities and skills within your pairs. This does not say only positive interactions will result in bonus'. Just know we will be watching :). There are more goodies and such in store.<br/><br/>Questions, concerns, please pm myself or Godic and we will reply asap. You may also post them here if you believe it is something everyone might be wondering on and once again we will reply asap.
