tag yourself as my main wizards (aka another excuse for me to write school aesthetics)

nora — sleepless nights, oscillating between prideful independence and easy companionship, chalk on your hands, trying and trying and trying even though youre exhausted, restlessness like energy crackling under your skin, the sort of kinship you find when crossing paths with strangers, the weight of armor

kristen — long days, the feeling of drifting between crowds, an unforgiving work ethic, squinting into the sun, taking long breaks, the stillness of not quite knowing where to go next, offering unwavering support to strangers, callouses on your hands, settling yourself into a routine

taryn — the sun glinting on morning dew, nursing relationships like you would nurse plants, breathing in fresh air, finding efficiency in group work, playing the long game, giving until you have nothing left, cloth brushing against the ground, ferocity when others expect calm

thinking about that one post about how each of your characters is like a lil “pod” or like mini group of students in raven wood, acts sort of like a mentor ship or something

Kristen is the oldest, the sorcerer who has seen some shit. She prefers quiet and peace and is rather stoic to be honest with a masterful deadpan expression, but she loves teaching and learning and takes pleasure in knowledge. A mind for strategy and infinite patience. She feels like the wind in the desert and the sands in an hour glass and the stillness of wizard city in the quietest of hours. She spent lots of time on mooshu and in Avalon and of course krockotopia and prefers a staff or a bow to a wand, and has learned to adjust her style of magic to fit whatever is needed in the situation. Adaptability is her theme and like the shifting sands in a desert she shifts as well. She is the one the younger students go to for wisdom and advice on the matters of life and the matters of academia.

Nora is the up and coming diviner, a few years younger than Kristen but almost as knowledgeable. She’s seem some shit too but she’s distracted by her work and her studies. As a diviner should be, she’s hardworking and creative and spends her time tinkering and chasing that spark of creativity. She’s more energetic than Kristen and when you’re around her you can feel the crackle of energy just under the surface. She spent lots of time in Olympus and in Marleybone and in celestia, surrounding herself with both the work ethic of warriors and engineers and somehow she embodies both. Her spear is her weapon but you would be surprised to see that her style of magic involves the slow building up power before releasing a wave of energy, of magic. Nora is the one to go to when you need to be inspired or when you need creativity or sometimes just charismatic brute force.

Taryn is older than Nora but more stagnant, a theurgist content to spend most of their time in mooshu, where it is easiest for her to listen to the song of creation thrumming in her veins and her magic. She meditates and strives to act as a sanctuary to anyone facing turmoil, so that her mere presence can act as a calming agent. Her magic feels like sunshine and the mist in the morning and you can hear a faint song if you listen closely. True to the song of creation, taryn chooses to channel her music through the flute, and her magic is woven to help those in need. She is a healer at heart and you go to her when you are conflicted within yourself.

The other students in their little group are not so old or experienced to be distinct in their magic or advice, yet.

kristen’s a classic wizard, either order of the scribes or abjuration and maybe multiclassses with cleric arcana domain

nora is a storm sorcerer / multi class eldritch knight fighter and maybe a level of artificer

shanna is a grave domain cleric with a lil bit of monk maybe? way of mercy

taryn is a druid circle of the land

i’ve decided that taryn and nora don’t get along

or like they’re just two really different people who take different approaches to life and those approaches just don’t jive, you know? whenever they’re in the same space there’s just like. it’s so obvious that those two are Not close
