				I think it would be kinda cool to have a picture of your 'current' trump, which is right now your character picture as well as a uniform post header with things like time, place, tags just to keep things organized...so yes that is my vote<br><br>Also Ken may be bad at it but he is willing to make friends.

				Assigned seats aren't really a thing, and there are at most a dozen kids in Advanced Spirituality (haven't decided how many NPCs), so it's kind of up to Maple whether Ken sits next to her, unless he wants to be a creepy stalker and wait until she sits down and sit next to her wherever that is…<br><br>Of posted NPCs, Bearcat is in Advanced Spirituality (as noted in his wiki entry); Penn isn't. Rev. Foley is the instructor. She's extremely competent at Sorcery, well beyond what any of the students have managed; she's also skilled at Empathy and Invocation.<br><br>Both Maddy and Maple are in Advanced Spirituality, so the rest of the class is aware that each of them separately taught themselves to draw and paint in a way that the uneducated would call "magical," but that (to the knowledgeable eye) works on principles entirely unrelated to Sorcery. Rev. Foley cannot duplicate this ability, since she's not a skilled artist and doesn't have time to learn. In fact, she's never heard of anyone who can do what they do. As such, the guidance she can offer is minimal, and revolves around deepening one's mind, spirit and will (i.e., training Psyche).<br><br>Dr. Balthazar, the Headmaster, drops in on AdSpir classes from time to time, chats with Dr. Foley and leaves. It's pretty clear that he's keeping tabs on the students' development. It's also clear to anyone who's looked at his aura that he is a powerful sorcerer himself.

				PC Attribute ranks at start of play:<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Maple is the Big Mind on Campus (1st Rank in Psyche). All of the PCs, and the NPCs in Advanced Spirituality, are aware of this. Maddy and Lily aren't far behind Maple, and Lara is also impressive.</li><li>Ken is 1st Rank in Strength, and probably the most accomplished athlete in the world. Certainly everyone on campus is aware that he's a superstar, but of the PCs, only Lara, Ken and William realize how far beyond mere human capability Ken is. None of the other PCs compare, though Lily, Maple and Maddy all outclass almost anyone in school, William's even better, and Lara and Morgan could win ribbons in any sport they attempted.</li><li>It isn't immediately obvious that Morgan is 1st Rank in Endurance, but Lara, Ken, Maple and William have caught on that he's pretty unbelievable.</li><li>Lara and Ken are aware that they're roughly on the same level where Warfare is concerned, and that William is hiding his true superiority, though they can't be sure just how much better than them he is. Lily, Maple and Morgan know that Lara, Ken and William are all extraordinary. Maddy is oblivious.</li></ul>

				I'm holding off on going IC because there are a couple of people I've PM'd with who might yet want to submit characters, and there is no easy way to integrate new players once we get started.<br><br>Although I actually thought of a way while I was typing this post :) so maybe I'll open an IC thread sooner than I thought.<br><br>In the meantime, let's talk about an important subject: roommates! As noted on the wiki, most dorm rooms at Holy Question Mark are doubles; singles are reserved for students with particular needs. It's possible to change roommates each year, but the default assumption is that you will room with one person for all four years. This person is a huge deal in your character's life. I'm offering you the chance to tell me about your characters' roommates. If you have no inspiration, I'll come up with a roommate for you.<br><br>Meliai's already put a blurb about Maple's roommate (Kennedy Brookens) up on the wiki (on the Minor NPCs page).<br><br>There is no reason Ken and William couldn't be rooming together, but no reason they should be, either.

				Madeleine's roommate is Catherine Sistine, a hyperactive and outgoing girl who is a social butterfly. Catherine's involved in all the school's social scenes, and is a whirlwind of energy. She's also Maddy's girlfriend, the two of them drawn by their opposite natures. Catherine is known to be a sexual adventuress, having flings with boys and girls before settling with Maddy, and nudging her shyer girlfriend out of her shell.<br><br>Maddy's favorite class are the music and art ones. She's enrolled in painting and sketching, as well as violin and saxophone courses, and is known to play the flute as well. She also has interests in the piano. Her least favorite course is physical education. Her favorite composer would be Chopin and she has dreams of conducting her own symphony one day. She likes shopping when she can, and playing with the school band, but she's rarely seen at sporting events unless Catherine drags her there.

				Some notes on Sorcery, copied from PM by permission.<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=60136">Quote from: Bowen on 13-03-2017, 16:42:38</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I wanted to ask you some questions about Spells<br><br>-Can you make a spell that heals someone (including things like just: wounds, diseases, poisons—I get that these may be separate spells)<br>-Can you create a spell that will remove the curse of vampirsm/lycanthropy?<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>As for healing, what I usually say in cases like this is, "I don't know. Can you?" By which I mean that it depends on how Ken's personal Sorcery works. What is it that he does when he builds a spell? How does he conceive of the forces he draws on? No one sorcerer can achieve any arbitrary effect with their magic. One sorcerer might be able to heal people but unable to transmute unliving substances, for instance, while another might be able to corrupt flesh and shatter objects, but unable to heal or repair anything.<br><br>(If sorcery had made an appearance in the Corwin books I might be more rigid about it, but the Merlin books aren't canon for this game, and I don't have a lot of respect for the rules where they depart from the canon. The rules for hanging spells, lynchpins and the like are a jumping-off point for imagination—I'm not going to apply the "micro-spell" stuff mindlessly to every character.)<br><br>As for curing vampirism and lycanthropy, has Ken tried? If so, where did he obtain a supply of vampires and werewolves for testing? If not, I suggest you experiment and find out in play!

You need to list what you want to advance (stats, powers, artifacts, whatever), in the order you want it; as you earn advancement points (a trickle for everyone, plus bonus points for contributing OOC such as by fleshing out the wiki, writing poetry, making art of the characters, etc.), you get what you asked for.<br><br>I will <em>not</em> tell you how many points you have earned or when you have gotten what you asked for; you will need to experiment IC to find that out.

If you want to move up more than one rank, list the same stat more than once. If you are 1st rank in a stat and request to advance it, I will decide how high the next rank up is; it might be an NPC's rank, or if you're just way ahead of the curve, it might be 10 or 15 points into outer space. (The Amberite Elders and similar ultra-powerful characters are not marked on the ladder—yet.) Careful observation, experimentation and testing yourself against others are the ways to discover where you rank on an ongoing basis.

				Important piece of information copied from an IC post, because most of the PCs would be aware of it:<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote from: Riveda</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">To clarify: Any of the PCs with an appropriate power (Sorcery, Empathy [if it includes Aura Sense], Trump Artistry) can tell that there's something special about the nine kids in Rev. Foley's Assembly group—that is, the seven PCs, Penn Solomon and BC Cavagnaro. To Maple's artistic eye, it's as though the nine of them are in the foreground of a painting and everyone else is in the background, no matter where they are or what they're doing. On a scale of 0–10, where 0 is a daydream and 10 is perfectly solid and real, the nine of them are all 10s, and everyone and everything else in the world is a 2. Oddly enough, Dr. Balthazar, the Headmaster, is a high 3, maybe even a 4. He's the only person other than the nine of them who stands out that way at all.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>

				Before I forget again, a general note for PCs in Advanced Spirituality: Maple's not secretive about what she can do so anyone in that class knows she has the Trump Sketches, Permanent Trumps, Identify Trumps/Trump sensing, and Trump Defense powers. She's done a buuuunch of experimentation on her own with Trumps by themselves, as well as attempts to see how they interact with other types of powers. Riveda and I talked about stuff she's done with BC and his astral projection and Reverend Foley's empathy, but if anyone else in the class volunteered she'd have been happy to run experiments with them too (though I can't suggest many right now since I don't know what most of the other PCs can do). One thing, if Maddy's game, is she'd like to see if they can collaborate on a single painting or whatever and make a working Trump, and if so if it differs from the ones they make on their own in terms of power/capabilities/how long it takes to make/etc<br><br>She'll draw Sketches of anyone in class who wants to see what using them is like but she hasn't made any for folks to just have, sketch or otherwise.<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=264140.msg13067541#msg13067541">Quote from: Riveda on 22-03-2017, 10:20:37</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Meliai and I can handle any weird stuff she wants to do to Min-joon privately</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>*suggestive eyebrow wiggle*

				Empyrean, I think there may be some confusion. LordRod mistyped who William was trying to reach—he meant Maple but typed Maddy. I guess you read the message before he edited it? Anyway, I'm not sure who would have called Maddy on the phone, unless perhaps Catie, but they just talked so that seems unlikely.<br><br>Also, the wards on the school grounds prevent Empathy from working much outside the room you're in.

				Hrm, OK, I guess I phrased that really poorly.<br><br>The school building's walls, floors and ceilings are warded. Psychic powers such as Empathy and Astral Projection do not reach through them. (Trump does, though.) If Maddy were outside the walls--in the garden or whatever--she still could not reach inside the building. She could try to spread her awareness through the area near the school, and she has enough Psyche to make sense of the "noise" of the city. But she can't overcome the wards--probably not even by smashing through them. They're that tough.

				Rev. Foley will lend you her office, since it's where you're all used to meeting twice a week for Assembly, and (being somewhat distracted at the moment) won't press for a reason why.

Foley's Assembly (the PCs plus Penn and BC), and to a lesser extent Dr. Balthazar, seem to the artistic eye, and other magical perceptions, to be more substantial than everyone and everything else in the world.

Foley's Assembly, counting himself, are exceptional even in a school of exceptional students. Not necessarily far ahead in classes, though many are, but each has one or more remarkable qualities, and all register to his keen eye for details as stronger, fitter and more alert than "normal" humans.<br><br>So.

				You might as well go ahead with that. 8:30 PM in Rev. Foley's office, right? I think you can say that Maple texted everyone in the Assembly for you; I'm doing a scene with Meliai for Maple's sidebar thread that hasn't caught up to where William and Ken are, but Meliai already said Maple would do that, so we'll just slip it in at the appropriate point.<br><br>Just so everyone knows, I woke up this morning to bad news about a favorite relative's health. Like, try on those funeral clothes you may need them soon, sort of news. So…on one hand, I may be a bit distracted and cranky.

				So…I can't re-recruit very easily. It would be a challenge to bring new characters into Rev. Foley's Assembly at this point. I mean, I <em>could,</em> but it's clogged with NPCs right now; until I can kill off or otherwise eliminate some of them, I don't want to load in more PCs.<br><br>On the other hand—<br><br>If any of you know someone who might be induced to take over Lily, Lara or Morgan, I can offer some ability to retcon and rewrite character sheets. Anything that doesn't totally break the flow of events so far, or change who's 1st Rank in any of the stats, I will discuss.<br><br>I will understand if no one jumps at that bait, but I thought I'd mention it.
