Appearance:
Orion is a magi of relatively tall height with a lanky build. He's an embodier void magi, meaning his body very much resembles the void in form and appearance. His skin is a nebula of blacks and blues with a number of prominent white diamond like patterns resting upon his cheeks, almost as if they're super bright stars being viewed through a telescope. Though beyond these are a good number of smaller white dots which pepper his skin like constellations in the night sky, varying in size across his form.
His eyes bear a black Sclera with a brilliant sapphire iris within the darkness.
Atop his head is a messy grey-black afro with a few curly strands resting upon his face. As floating above it are a small number of tiny black orbs and dashes.
For clothing besides his uniform, he is usually seen wearing a black leather jacket with a blue hoodie, resting above a pair of black cargo pants which lead into a pair of black, ankle high sandals.
Thanks to him being a void magi he does naturally have a few animal-like traits, in his case the spider. He has gained two traits, one is spider silk, perfect for a crazy number of things, and depending on his health may even be able to hold heavy metal objects. The other spider trait is a pair of four spider appendages, but he generally dislikes using it cause of the hassle of getting clothes related to them.
Unique Spell: Blink
Blink: This spell allows Orion, to teleport short distances in a flash and moves quicker than a blink without the need for eye sight. He only needs a direction mentally and in a flash there he appears.
Fun Facts:
Dominant Hand: Ambidextrous(leans to Right)
Favorite Food: Green Apples and Coffee
Least Favorite food: anything slimy(he hates the texture)
Dislikes: People who hurt his little sister, being woken up early, saying things twice, being caught off guard/ being tricked and feeling useless
Him and Salem constantly try to one up the other, both are very intelligent and love trying to prove to the other who's better in friendly competition from two different fields
For as long as anyone could remember, the world has always been blessed with magic. From the highest point in the sky to the deepest depths of the earth, there has been magic.
Magic is divided into 5 elements
Air
Water
Earth
Solar
Void
In this world there exists 2 species that dominate this world. Both are so similar, but at the same time strikingly different. These races are known as Magi and Humans. Two cousin species who share the same ancestor, but at one point took two different paths.
Magi, a group of people with an innate connection to magic. They took ahold of the magic in the world and chose to explore and harness it to survive.
Humans, on the other hand, shunned magic and focused on technology and strength to survive.
Humagi, the children of Human and Magi parents born to be a fusion of the two races.
Since time immemorial the two have fought, helped, lived with, feared, and enslaved one another countless time. But, there is one thing they both have always agreed on. It is their hatred of the monsters which stalk them.
Humans:
In this world humans compared to us are much, much more hearty and athletic. Due to needing to survive in such a crazy and magic filled world with just your mind and tools, humans kept and gained many evolutionary gains to stay alive. For ine their bodies are much more durable. Able to shrug off much more damage than normal, and on top of that they boast a near superhuman strength. Basically take the strength of a normal person and multiply it by 5.
They're also much more naturally Athletic and flexible, making movement, attacks, and escapes that much more easier.
They bear the advantages of an intelligent mind within a body able to do so much more.
Magi Variations:
Mundane: A magi of this type bears the most, as the name suggests, mundane appearance. They look the most similar to humans (which funnily enough to magi is boring) but unlike humans Mundanes possess arcing and elemental specific markings all over their body. These resemble tattoos for the most part but when magic is channeled through they glow the color of that person's magic.
Embodiers: Now going to the complete other extreme, Embodier magi are as their name implies, they're magi who's bodies are physical manifestations of their elements. As an example an air magi will most likely look like a living breathing humanoid cloud. Their hair can be a mop or clouds and their skin can be condensed winds and colored air given form. Or maybe they're more storm like or angry, their hair can become holds of lightning and their body's take on the appearance of a raging storm in the sky.
Balanced: These magi exist as their name suggests, in a balance between both extremes. Their bodies appear humans but beyond regular skin much like mundanes they have natural markings across their skin, but unlike mundane these are always glowing with magic and going further, their hair while much like a human will face and be patched with their elements. For example a solar magi may have mostly regular hair but at its edges the hair fades to fire. And as a side note their eyes much like Embodiers glow with magic.
Air: a person with air is generally a really peaceful person. They take what happens in stride and often let things go. They can be carefree and at times airheaded, though I will say, they are naturally chaotic and often switch their temperaments. They can be as peaceful as a low breeze, as energetic and rage-filled as a storm in moments, but you'll never meet a more fun person to be around. Welders with an affinity for air are in summary: peaceful, cheerful, at times air headed and chaotic/impulsive
Earth: they are stubborn, strong, and protective. They can be very caring but also boisterous. They are bull-headed and often don't fess up to mistakes often. They are survivors who will never say die in the face of any adversity but will care for their loved ones very deeply. Earth affinities are in summary- stubborn, caring, and proud.
Water-These people are very going with the flow, they usually seek the path of least resistance and generally can act as mediators, or healers. They are very empathetic and can be led astray by their emotions. Much like the waters of the earth their personalities and moods can change on a whim. But if you betray a water affinity or harm those they care for, you will be put in a cyclone of rage, anger, and general dislike. What was once a calm sea has turned into a dangerous riptide. Water users are in summary, easy-going, empathetic, calming, and very capable of change
Animal traits: fish scales, fishtails, coral, gills, carapace
Solar: they are very fiery individuals, they have quick tempers and wear their hearts on their sleeves. Emotions often flare up in both good and bad ways, though like an unwatched flame these emotions can go out of control. They have a small amount of patience and try to have things be quick and to the point. They are often lead by emotions and despite their fiery, rough exteriors you will see a person who is unbelievably warm and loyal. Even though they may not show it all the time, their love is powerful and bright. Though I will say, they do have a control freak quirk where they prefer things being their way or the highway but this is more on a small scale and is just their preference
Solar affinities, in summary, are- fiery, have quick tempers, loving, rough, headstrong, blunt, emotion lead and just generally very, very warm
For Solar-intuned Magi, it might have the opposite problem. They have so much fire, so much light, so much passion, they HAVE to let it out. Some can choose to do this by creating great works of art, or perhaps being an actor, anything to let out the great emotions and light inside of them.
But this can make them glory-hogs, it can make them spot-light stealers, this can make them trample on others just for the chance to bask in others' approval.
Animal traits: Phoenix, dragon
Void: Void affinities are often very, for lack of a better word internally focused. They continually try to fight off their own void so this leads to many becoming distant, prickly and short on patience. And possibly due to their void, each void affinity probably has to figure out how to find a balance or live with it.
Void-intuned magi could be the fairest out of each affinity because so many could view their given affinity as a curse or unfair. So they naturally make sure that others are given a choice or at least given a fair chance. Resilient, mentally
They're very intuitive to their nature, self-aware of their actions and how those actions affect others.
Each void magi naturally has a desire that will fill the void they have internally. Be it knowledge, creativity, building, etc etc. You'll never see a more dedicated and creative person in your life. Thanks to the void being where the light arrived they all carry the spark of creativity in their chosen field.
Chapter 2: Class decisions and dorm warfare for the win!
introduction, Ch.1
Note to self: next time Bean and Merlin fight, get popcorn, and maybe grab wall rubble, I’m not a hoarder, scouts honor~
I looked up at the teachers with stars in my eyes, everyone was so cool! Plus, I got a head pat-so that’s even better! Ugh, why’d you guys have to make so hard to choose a class, hmmm let’s put our suspects, up shall we? Looking at the professors, I saw the grumpy Alchemist guy, his pale wood patterned skin shone in the lights above as once more those dang amber eyes of his bore into my mind. Like chill man, how can putting a baton in your jacket be mind warfare?! Huff, he looked so cool during the show but ehhh, too strict for me.
Well, Rasputin’s a no I guess, number 2, Louis Armstrong, seems like a fun guy, buuut I have no musical talent, got two left feet, voice sounds like a banshee bleh, ain’t a good fit. It’s not you Louis it’s me, sorry man. Onto suspect 3, Hobo Billy the kid, chill, kinda dusty, but I’m not stealthy, wouldn’t have light-up shoes if I was after all. Suspect 4 come on down! Here we have Joan of Arc, awesome sword wielder and dealer of cherished head pats, 9/10 we might have a winner here people.
Now onto suspe-oh no megaphone man’s back, just in case, I pulled my beanie over my ears, no hearing loss for me.
“Ah, jolly good show everyone! It was quite a sight to see, I must say, now children, if that display did not solidify your choice-well buck up! We’ve decided to allow our professors the chance to remind you of their profession and the meaning behind each class! And remember no class is better or worse than the ot-”
“Guerillas are best, don’t listen to the loudspeaker” Izusa jabbed in
“Heheheh, Izusa I am glad for your class pride still runs deep, but we are headmasters, after all, we need to be unbiased! Let our bright youths decide for themselves!”
“Unbiased, you have your freaking Knight necktie on” She fired back motioning to his stripped blue silver tie which he straightened.
“Well, of course, one must never forget their roots after all, and even though I myself favored our knights here, this is not-” Before he could finish, a sharp “Shush” interjected. Professor Blum strode forward hand massaging his temple.
“If we listen to this squabble any longer, we shall not move anywhere, and I would like to return to my facility before night comes if you don’t mind.” Fixing his overcoat, the amber eyes of the earth magi quickly returned to the crowd, piercing them with a cool stare as he began to speak once more.
“To you lot” he admonished us snapping his arm, “Listen well, for I shall only say this once. Despite what the news or the media has led you to believe, Alchemists are those who study and pick apart the gears of magic and the world for all its worth.” When he said news and media he spat out each word as if it were venom in his mouth, and as he began to go on, the methodical style of his speech began to ebb more into a stately passion.
“We are no mere scientists, we are alchemists! The fusion of creativity and scientific reasoning to understand, this little thing we call magic. Despite the moniker of “Youngest class,” Human, Magi, or whatever in between that’s shuffled about on this rock has always been curious of this force in our world. Whether you trace our origins to the wizards and warlocks of old, or to the Alchemists of which we’ve gained our title, we are both and neither of our predecessors!”
Pacing a bit, he calmed his voice back down as he continued on, “Were our ancestors simply explored the capabilities or tried to pick apart magic for their own uses, we have a different goal. We carry the light of knowledge, illuminating the unknown for our fellow people so that they may find comfort in said findings. If you choose this path, burn this into your mind! If you have no passion or hunger for finding the secrets of magic and our world, then as soon as you enter my facility, you. shall. be. Gone! I do not want to hear your complaining, “Oh it’s too hard,” or, “ Oh, it’s too boring” for if I see one hint of uninterest in your eyes, I'll throw you out myself! For if you have no passion or drive in your field what is the point of you? Now then,”
After a long sigh, he quietly composed himself, “if you feel this is right for you, step forward now.” he crooned out. And to my left, I felt a rustle beside me Orion groaned up and walked towards the old magi, he gave me a two-finger salute and lazily walked forward. And as everyone saw him go, bit by bit more people stood in front of Rasputin, as each was handed some black clothes in a bag. And as if on cue, a sharp whistle broke the silence, bringing all our eyes on Billy the kid.
“Alright, kiddos eyes on me for a sec’. Thanks to ole grandpa given that essay, I’ll be straight with ya. Guerillas are the rebels, outlaws, anarchists, or whatever they call us now. Where there's some rules we break 'em, were there's laws we go past 'em. We be the judge of those in power, that roarin' flame under they feet that keep our leaders in check. And if they go too far, well, this lil' fire finna burst into an inferno I'll promise ya that. If ya got freedom and rebellion in ya chest. We yo people, see a riot, we in there, see a protest, we in there, and if you see a revolution? Hoo boy, you sure as heck know we in there! We carry the light of freedom and change, always there to stop a leader if they go too far and if they do, we gon' hold 'em accountable and make somethin' new. If my words struck home, we be happy to have ya, welcome to the family kiddos.” legs dangling over the stage the professor watched as the future Guerillas approached, heck even one girl flew up and gave a high five to him. Thanks to her wings, she was an air magi, had some golden-brown wings and storm grey hair, and perched atop the stage as her classmates rushed up too.
At my right, I heard a grunt as freaking Joan of Arc hopped off her pommel and kicked the sword in her hand like it was nothing! Yup, definitely joining her I don’t care what anyone says-Imma be a knight!
“Heh, alrighty, may as well start, hmph” She grunted, holding her sword in a rigid pose. If I’m being honest her face looked like she was constipated “to be a knight you be gallant, focused measured precise and powerful, my children take up arms your calling is nye it is time for a crusade! We shall take back the holy land,Deus vult, DEUS VU-pfffft, heheheh, sorry I had to” she chuckled leaning on her sheath “Oh, that never gets old, ok serious time now” she took in a breath to speak but
“Ah, it seems the impossible did happen, you being serious” Rasputin interjected walking past her, to this he received a light snicker
“Listen I can be serious sometimes, on occasion, when I feel like it, every few years. But, as I was saying before mister essay interrupted me, Knights are old as heck alright, we’re the first beacons, defend people for generations, all that good stuff. But just cause we got knight in our name, don’t mean we’re Chivalrous, glistening warriors who vanquish evil to the ends of the earth that’s only a third of the pie, we’re not just warriors, we’re healers and guardians kids. The sword, shield, and healing hand, we become that light. We guard against the dark and give people a haven. In more than one way! So,” she said resting her sword over her shoulders,
“If you want to be a knight, grab some chainmail and a tunic from the stage and come to my class tomorrow. I’d be happy to have you” She winked strolling out. Yeeep, I’m all in let’s freaking go! I cheered in my mind, but I had a feeling I had a dopey smile on my face all the same.
After that, not much else happened, learned about the other two classes, Artificers, basically artists, builders, and all that fun stuff that entertains or helps people. And seekers, explorers, and stuff, always run headfirst into the unknown and hard to pin down. But by the end I got some bag of clothes and a rune stone. It was a smooth navy-blue rock with a messed-up F burnt into it. It felt warm and hummed a bit in my hand as I turned a bit, it was like a weird magic compass to my dorm I guess, this is so cool! Welp, into your prison-I mean my bag little guy. As I was putting my stone back in my bag, a gun shot made me nearly drop it on the ground.
“Gah! what is this, give Eir a heart attack day?!” I mumbled clamping my stone as Headmaster Ortiz cleared his throat.
“Knights, Alchemists, Seekers, Guerillas, and Artificers, thank you all for continuing in the protection of Human-Magi kind. This is the first step of your journey as Beacons! For even having the courage to step up this far, you should be proud! Bully indeed for you! I already can see great potential in all of you, all I can say is good luck, and may your lights always shine bright.” He finished his final speech and gave us all a hearty laugh and warm smile before walking into the back as Izusa made her way to speak.
“Alright Torches, like the headmaster megaphone said, this is your start, remember you all wanted this, so get ready, tomorrow starts four years of hell, have fun~” she sang away into the darkness from whence she came.
After the speeches of fluff and doom we all dispersed to our new dorms, which for some freaking reason was on the of the fort! School’s in the middle, makes sense, access to everything, but the dorms. At the very edge of the freaking coast, who designed this and where can I smack them with my bag? I’m going helicopter them so bad won’t know what hit them. But still, I walked to my dorm. Weird F rune dash 5 as the stone in my hand vibrated more and more the closer I got to my door. The jade-gold rune patterned carpet sat atop a shining wood floor and the air had a scent of strangely chocolate, and fire?
“Who’s burning something?” I thought aloud, but right as the words came out of my mouth, the wall right across from me shattered as a flaming girl bulldozed through while a hand patted me on the head. Whirling my head from side to side I saw Orion standing besides me snickering at the dragon girl. She had two jagged black horns sticking out of her messy flame like curls. She was short but had a stocky frame, I think I even saw a few muscles if I’m being honest. And as I saw her gold eyes stare daggers at Orion(nickname still pending) a wicked smile seared across her face, disrupting the red scales upon her cheeks.
“Orio get back over here so I can hit ya!” She growled in her rough voice, to which Orion strolled across from me with a playful shrug
“nahhh, don’t really feel like it sunflower, good offer though, you’re getting’ better at em, I’m proud!”
“Tsk, I told ya before, I ain’t no little flower, I am the sun!” she yelled crouching down for probably another charge. Orion chuckled as he held his free hand at his ear
“Uh, say that again white dwarf, I ain’t hear ya~” he teased, and at that my eyes even glared at him,
“Please don’t my ears have suffered enough for a day!” I groaned,
But as at the girl, it seemed like she physically had a tick mark on her head as the whole room heated up to 90 degrees. I had to take off my hat and fan myself, what the freak did he say to make her that mad? But unfortunately, I got no answer as the girl barreled forward with a battle cry. Careening towards Orion before I saw him poof out of existence in a blue flash before reappearing behind the solar magi. He placed a hand on her back and caused it to steam, but what instantly caught my attention was two words that slithered from his mouth.
“Liga Hostem” he said, and yanked his hand back as multiple black and blue chains wrapped around the girl, battling against the fire and the light she gave off. Making the hallway as wicked battle of heat and cold. Gasping from excitement I rapidly said
“You used a binding spell! It’s not the full incantation but that’s still awesome! Wait, your element doesn’t usually go into that unle-“
“let’s save this for later, I ain’t tryin’ be bbq magi over here” to further his point the girl took in a deep breath and bellowed out a stream of flames in the boy’s direction, cursing under his breath Orion slammed his hand on the ground and cried
“Fortifico!” as a black and blue hexagon of swirling void, blocked the incoming flames, and as soon as the barrier was released, the girl charged forward with an knee aimed at Orion’s fac, he rolled back and threw a punch at her stomach, but she brushed it to the side. Back and forth they parried and dodged each other’s blows like clockwork. Oh I wish I had popcorn, this is so good, but sadly before the fight could continue, the door behind me slammed open as I saw a baby face looking Asian guy with, a long, rat tail… Oh its him, time to give him a piece of my wait why is he my dorm mate?!
“QUIET” the pale faced boy roared, on his face was now a pair of jade, metallic looking goggles, and as soon as he looked at the two magi his face grew a face of sheer disgust. “Ugh, just typical of their kind, arrogant and loud beyond measure. You two, cease this disturbance immediately, I am trying to work. “ he screamed in his childlike voice waving a large wrench at the two.
“Hey, angery baby man, shush.” Said angery baby man looked agasp and was about to say something before I said
“Oi, ya owe me an apology from earlier, what was your deal?” I demaded looking over my shoulder
“just my luck, of course I’m roomed with you of all people.” He rolled his eyes
“Me of all people?! Square up baby man, lets go!”
“First of all, I am not, a baby man. My name is Lin Su-Wang, and I am not fighting a munchkin.”
And this is how this went for like thirty minutes, four people either fighting or yelling at each other before, nothing, I really can’t remember what happened afterwards, only thing is I woke up with a pain in my neck for some reason. Weird, buuut yeah, this was one interesting first day.
