High Stone Academy Of Extraordinary Arts

High Stone Academy
  Of Extraordinary Arts 

             Intro: Part 1           

One is never prepared for when tragedy hits and you are no exception.

Your life wasn't bad.
As most lives, it was filled with sad and happy moments. As most people, you had friends and family.
But then came the day you lost those most precious to you.
It happened while you've been away for reasons out of your control.
After an endless time of heavy depressions, you decided that life took enough from you.
It was time to end it.



There is a place in the mountains you used to visit often when you were young and you want it to be the last place you see before you go.
Slowly walking towards the cliff, the faces of the people you lost swirl through your head.

And then your thoughts go silent.

You can smell the air, you can hear the wind, and you step closer to the edge.



And then it appeared.

...

...



You stop and watch as the air in front of you begins to flicker.
You keep watching as, out of nowhere, a brick wall appears, floating in the air in front of you.

Is this real? Are you dead already?

The wall keeps becoming clearer and you can make out written words on a large plate at the top.

"High Stone Academy
Of Extraordinary Arts"

You have no idea what to do or how to react to this.

Or do you?

I'm not letting you reserve a third reply by walking onto the path!

High Stone Academy
  Of Extraordinary Arts 

             Intro: Part 2           

(It's supposed to be a wall with a few stone slabs in front of it^^)

Totally confused, you walk a step towards the wall.
Walls... don't just appear out of nothing...
And then another step.
You stretch out your hand, feeling a warmth radiating from the bricks, especially close to that.. crack?

The moment you touch the stone, the whole construct begins to vibrate.



You watch, even more stunned than before, as the bricks in front of you disappear only to open the view to a purple...

You are not sure what it is. It looks like a light, but also like you can touch it.



What do you do?

High Stone Academy
  Of Extraordinary Arts 

             Intro: Part 3           

As you walk into the portal, not knowing what will happen, you feel like a weight is being lifted from you.
Whatever it is - whether you just fall down the cliff behind the wall, or it really IS a portal, things will change drastically.



After a moment, everything fades away and the world goes black.
You don't pass out or anything, but you are not really there, either.
You try to open your eyes and they actually do open, only to reveal a rather unusual sight...



Before you can think twice about whatever it is you are looking at, it begins to talk!

"Now, where did you come from? I don't think I've seen you before inside the Academy! Do you care to tell me who you are and what you are doing here?"

High Stone Academy
  Of Extraordinary Arts 

             Intro: Part 4           

After your first surprise, you take a look around you.


After another moment of collecting yourself, you tell her: "Oh my Gracious days, Life isn't worth living in my pitiful state! Lo, I jumped forward and I am here, now."
A little more serious, you explain the circumstances to her: "eh I spotted a doorway to this place at the top of the cliff I was planning on jumping off, I didn't have anything left to live for and thought it might just be a hallucination. seems I was wrong."


"Well, you are certainly not hallucinating! This is the High Stone Academy Of Extraordinary Arts, one of the most renowned places to study the various kinds of, to put it simple, magic-like powers, common and uncommon in the more and less stable corners of the multiverse."

She, or at least you think that's what it is, explains enthusiastically.

"And who ever you are, I am quite sure that you are here for a reason, whether you are aware of that reason or not. May I ask you who you are?"


You choose who we are.

Name
Species
Sex (or gender, whatever you can think of)
Home planet
Looks
And whatever else you might find important

There are basically no rules, aside from the obvious (nothing racist, and so on)

There's no rules saying you can't be an attack helicopter.

Name: Apache
Species: Attack Helicopter
Sex: Attack Helicopter
Home planet: Earth
Looks: Your typical attack helicopter. Has 30mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles mounted onto its frame. General appearance wise, it looks like this:

Well I guess I should have expected that. I just hope someone will make an alternative suggestion.
