My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world."</em><br/><br/>The speech had been from Glynda Goodwitch herself! A real Huntress! A translucent image of her had flickered in the window of the airship you were currently riding in. When she appeared, you and all the other new students turned and paid rapt attention to the mature woman's words. You had all been selected to join Beacon Academy, a school where promising teens were molded into Huntsmen and Huntresses, upholders of peace and defenders of good. The first half of the ride had been boring, just waiting and milling about, quiet chatter filling the roomy area where you all stood. After that speech though the air was electric, excitement filling your every pore. Just as the image of Glynda winked out of existence you could all spot it. Beacon Academy. One of the most prestigious and famous schools in Remnant. It waited for you a short distance away, perched at cliff's edge and surrounded by verdant fields, thick forests, and flowing rivers. Here is where you would train. Here is where your future would begin.</span></span><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k512/MissF1R3/ReiGBev_zpsp3pziuf9.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Lark Enciel<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Airship<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Everyone<br/><br/>Lark was grinning from ear to ear as the speech finished. She stretched a little and folded her arms behind her head.<em>"That was awesome! I saw Glynda on the news once, she kicks some serious ass! Y'know, for an old lady."</em>The white-haired girl's eyes were brimming with excitement. She was eager to start her training and become even better - no, the best!<br/><br/>Lark Enciel stood almost a full head shorter than everyone else on the airship. She was only five feet tall, but that mop of messy white hair was hard to miss, especially when you noticed the rainbow of color shaved into it. Stormy grey eyes peeked out from below rogue strands and bright white teeth shown as the girl smiled. What she lacked in verticality she made up for in tone. Lark was an athletic one, that was to be sure. Obvious definition lay in her arms, legs, and stomach. She clearly had some sort of exercise routine going on. She definitely looked like the kind of person that tried too hard. Her dress was casual enough, though; a sleeveless blue windbreaker, white shirt and shorts. Most students were carrying obvious weapons, but Lark was one who's chosen armament wasn't so noticable upon a casual glance. Her running shoes looked a bit more.. high tech. They had thicker soles, fastened with some kind of clasps instead of laces, looked exceptionally durable, and, near the top where they ended was a thick metal ring. It seemed to be responsible for housing some kind of technology. That, and keeping them on her feet at all costs. Were one able to look at the bottoms, they'd see several small holes similar to gun barrels in the heels of the shoes. The steel ringed 'necks' of the shoes were actually loaded with Dust cartridges and on command could expel a shotgun-like blast of force from the holes in the heels. It made for an... interesting style of fighting, as the other students would soon find out.<br/><br/>Lark shouldered a nearby student and leaned inward, offering a conspiratorial whisper,<em>"I heard that they break everyone up into groups of four and make them compete with each other. Y'know, teams."</em>Leaning back, she threw in a wink and a grin,<em>"I'll be team leader, no doubt. You'd better hope you're with me!"</em><br/>
