I'm not 100% certain, but when your sister went to college, if she wanted to go to the library on the first day, she could have gone at her leisure.<br/><br/>I made my character interested in swords because A) I like swords and B) I thought it would be fun for both of our characters to be into fencing.  So they could fence together.<br/><br/>I didn't want to play an apprentice.  I made my character old enough and experienced enough to be a teacher in his own right.  I opted to work under Vivienne, I could just as well have been a Charms professor.  I didn't think I would have to work for it.<br/><br/>Why should I have to earn anything?  It's a GAME.  I want to relax, have some fun writing.  I have enough stress to deal with.  You're allowed to create a character that's a full professor, you didn't EARN anything.  Why should you make me?  Seems unfair.<br/><br/>We're all here to<em>have fun</em>RPing.  Why do I have to work to prove myself to anyone?
