Name: Slay
Mentor: Nalglan the Green
Backstory:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

When he was a child the undead raided his hometown. His parrents were one of the first to fall.
Their Leader took great joy in causing grief and sadness to his victims, so he made him watch as he fed
from them. In a fit of rage he ripped the accursed broadsword of their vampire leader out the sheath which
their vampire leader was sure he would not be able to lift and decapitated him in one fell swoop. But he didn't
stop there. the ghouls and lesser vampires outside of his familie's tent were no match for his vengeful rancor.
His hatefilled cries echoed through the village as he hunted and decapitated every single one of them. The next
morning was the day Nalglan found him, unconscious in a pile of dead bodies, a broadsword, as large as himself
in his hands, rammed into the ground he stood there, blood soaked the earth around him and every cloth on his body.
But he was still alive. Unlike the village. He couldn't remember anything from before that horrible night, yet one thing
was left in his memories. His numerous scars and the cursed broadsword strapped to his back remind him to this
day of his pledge: to rid the world of the undead by any means necessary, even if that means to strive for power.

Priced Possession:

A cursed Broadsword - it is not it's usefulness that is precious to him, it is not it's evil origin and life stealing
capabilities. It is the memories that are attached to it. A source for his anger and rage. Also, it cannot be removed
from his hands until it has drawn blood. 

((If a lifestealing sword is too powerful tell me))

OOC: The final apprentice. We can begin. Yay

[Johnfalcon99977]

Can I join, or is it too late?

OOC:
hachnslay just grabbed the last spot, I believe.

@hachnslay: You are allowed to have a cursed sword that you took from a vampire. You are also allowed to think that it has magical powers. This does not mean that the sword actually has magic powers. Specifically, it is unlikely to steal life or give you supernatual powers unless it gets enchanted to do that.
Here are the teams:

Team One
Nirur (Nirur Torir)
Ochita (Ochita)

Team Two
Immolatia (Dwarmin)
Carden Aglaeca (thatkid)

Team Three
Tarok Kingsley (Adwarf)
Harley Vanguard (Weirdsound)

Team Four
Stiric (Bdthemag)
Drull (Yoink)

Team Five
Gigonola (Armok)
Slay (hachnslay)

Messages containing starting spells will be sent out shortly.

Keep in mind that, while I am willing to answer questions about how your character thinks that their spells work, and about what your character thinks they need to do to cast a spells they start the game with in as much detail as you request, this information is in character information and is not 100% reliable. It may well be that you don't need the eye of a newt and that any eye will work. If you want to actually learn anything new, you'll need to experiment. You have until monday to propose experiments to do before discovering the nature of the First Trial.

It is possible to discover new spells, but not so easy that all you have to do is ask for them. If it was that easy, you would have done it already. New spells are gained by applying the principles of old spells in new ways, by being taught be someone that already knows how to do what you want to do, or some combination of the two. Feel free to trade spell knowledge if you think you'll benefit by spending your time doing that more than you would doing other things.

E: You are able to acquire small test subjects (ie. lab mice, lizards, etc.) on credit from the Council. You cannot acquire extremely expensive things this way, nor are you generally able to find human test subjects without paying, rewarding or otherwise convincing them to volunteer. Testing that requires that you cut open orphans will prove difficult, for those of you that have suggested it. You monsters.

For reference, you are all currently located in the town of Council Tower in the Forest of Wood. The nearest ocean is over a hundred miles to the south, but there is a large lake to the west in the forest. The town that you are staying is named after the Tower of the Wizard Council at the center of the village. If you have further questions about geography, feel free to ask in the thread.

In other news, we've had our first magical explosion, curtesy of Armok. A small barn is now on fire on the outskirts of town.

[adwarf]

DO we start now ?

[thatkid]

DO we start now ?

We have a week both RL and In-game to prepare.

[Grek]

You have until Monday to do general experiments with your spells, gather magical supplies, spy on everyone else, teach eachother spells and so on and so forth. RL time = Ingame time. I will allow those of you that haven't sent in experiments or actions to retcon your activities for the last two days.

On Monday, I will tell you what the First Trial is. Your plans for how to best the First Trial are due by Friday. You'll have 5 ingame/real life days to figure out those plans.

I feel like Eye of the Tiger or some cheezy 80s montage music should be playing during this or something.
Also, our characters are standing around holding up vials of magic while wearing lab coats and gesturing to each other while mouthing words as music plays. They occasionally write things down on a clipboard, and by the end of it all each time has learned a little something about themselves and the power of teamwork and friendship<3

Or it all results in a bloody mess.

[Dwarmin]

Ending with a airborne freeze frame high five of course.

[Grek]

Given that you all haven't set the upper atmosphere on fire (yet) I'd say you deserve high fives.

[Armok]

Wait, what barn, I explicitly stated "preform the experiment outdoors away from anything to valuable."

Also, Monday is tomorrow not in a week...
