[Powder Miner]

I would like to join this, though whether I can make an app at this moment is questionable due to being in the middle of moving.

[Weirdsound]

Well the earliest that I decide will be Friday, so you have time.

[Powder Miner]

Actually, I will make an application, and I'll edit it into this post. Or make a new one. Either way.

Character Name: Alistair "Allie" Friedrich
Gender: Male
Location of Origin: London

Class: Internal Mage
Theme/Style: As Alistair's inner mana builds up, he refines it into a workable form by "weaving" it through his arms into "threads" which he can use as is, or freely shape for use in offensive and defensive spells.

Preferred Meeting Date: TUES
Do you foresee any problems moving the playing date to Friday in Late August/Early Sept? N

Character Background: Alistair was born in Germany and just as quickly abandoned to an orphanage. Within his first year at the orphanage, his magic powers began to subconsciously surface, with threads of woven mana protecting him from the dangers of infant life. While the strange phenomenon that was happening around him drove many potential adopters away, he was eventually adopted by an eccentric English couple at the age of 3, who took him to live in London, where he was renamed to Alistair.
When he began schooling, Alistair was teased for his traditional name, leading to the insecurity and bashfulness around others he has become known for. During the worst of the teasing, his anger snapped, and the threads he had grown up with, for the first time ever, had lashed out in aggression at his bullies. Weak as his powers may have been, the threads were powerful enough to scar, and the damage had been done. For most of his primary school days, he was alienated from others, eventually leaving for a separate middle school from the others, during which he actively suppressed his powers, becoming a shut-in.
By high school, through pressure from his parents and one persistent classmate, Allie had come just a bit out of his shell. When Alistair discovered his new friend surrounded by bullies, he unleashed his threads in a desperate attempt to protect his first friend, incapacitating the bullies, and breaking their weapons. He spent much of his high school life studying his powers with his friend, slowly grasping how to control the threads.
By the middle of his college days, however, he had abandoned the practice of exercising his power, to focus on studying. By his 22nd birthday, when he tried to use his powers again, his energy had built up, and flooded out without control, destroying his room, and nearly killing his friend. A month later, he received the email, still holed up in his room.

If you can really help me out, and tell me what's wrong with my body, then I don't care what you tell me I have to do. I don't want to lose control again. I'm in. You can call me Allie.

Does Genesis/Electricity and Mass combine into Industry? (And if so, which one more so, Genesis or Electricity?) or does magic not work like that?

[Lillipad]

Do I sense another technomancer in the works, Cript?

[Weirdsound]

Nothing directly combines into anything, but any two or more elements can be related if the caster can find a connection. Industry can be a bunch of dudes moving stone blocks to erect the pyramids or the great wall.

You can feel free to mention more than one element in your style statement.

[Powder Miner]

Noooo cript, I'm already making a computer conjurer.
...Except apparently there are elements.
...hmm.
...Would a conjurer who specializes in computer hardware still be workable with the elements?
Or should I create a new magic idea?

[Weirdsound]

You don't have to mention the elements in your style. They exist, but not every mage defines his or herself in elemental terms.

[Powder Miner]

Hmm, I kinda decided to go with ambience or something anyway, since technomages seem to be super popular

[Criptfeind]

I dunno, I sorta want to make a mass focused cultist, but obviously that would be pretty unoriginal. I might end up with Genesis or Industry guy, Material or Internal. Both work with the backstory I had in mind.

Actually. A druid might be interesting, and would also work. I'm a little afraid of relying on outside powers, even a as a cultist I would have to worry a lot about my master, and it seems like being a druid would open me up to a lot of fucking with by spirits.

At any rate, even if I go into artifice it won't be a technomage, at least in the modern sense. And even if I was that should not stop you.

Of course since I got at least a few days, not really in a hurry.

[Lillipad]

Aw, no Criptfiend giant mecha battles.

[Powder Miner]

I dunno, I think I might go with an illusion caster focused on the senses that aren't sight.

Spoiler: Application 2.0 (click to show/hide)

Character Name: Rev. Jeremiah "Jerry" Williams
Gender: Male
Location of Origin: Originally, Alberta, Canada. Most recently, California.
Class: Priest of the Star Gods.
Theme: Jerry is a dreamwalker who travels the astral pathways by the grace and guidance of his divine masters.
Preferred Meeting Date: THURS. N.

Background:
When the Call came, Jerry Williams was a perfectly ordinary college sophmore, attending school on a sports scholarship with no declared major. He had vague ambitions of going professional after graduating, or maybe getting a degree. His life was turned upside down when he received a prophetic vision in his dreams: a field of stars, the moon in the waxing crescent and an otherworldly voice commanding him to seek out a 'High Priest Jonahson'. After finding the Jonahson Planetarium in the phonebook and seeking out the owner, it was explained to him that the 'Star Gods' had chosen him as one of the elect, that his visions of the heavens would reveal to him the time and place of portentious events and that the Will of Heaven was for him to obey these divine commands and serve the Gods.

Having been since ordained as a Priest, Rev. Williams has served faithfully and learned much, but has recieved only two further prophecies: One instructing him to remain in his hotel room on a certain night of the ill-fated 104th Ecumenical Council for the Worship of the Outer Gods (and thereby saving him from certain death when one of the more unstable attendees summoned a being from the Beyond in order to win a theological argument) and again on the night before recieving this email, with a single command: Accept.

Trusting that his faith will not steer him wrong and that the Gods have a higher purpose in sending him to Boston, Jeremiah sets out to serve as best as he can.

Re: Employment Offer. That you do accept.

The celestial alignment indicates that this is a fortuitous opportunity which I am not to pass by. Expect me there at the appointed hour. Is there room where we're going for a telescope and a few star charts, perhaps?
