Story In this world there exists a science, a science referred to as Alchemy. This is known throughout the world yet only a select few are allowed to use it. This is because in order to perform alchemy one must have a license in order to legally do so. This is to prevent the spread of Alchemy and prevent its abuse. In order to acquire said license one must graduate from one of the Six academies spread throughout the world. From basics to advanced students will spend four years here and learn them all while forging bonds with there fellow classmates. There also exists beings know as "Mana" which are like spirits of Nature. Forming a pact with one allows one to borrow a Mana's power, increasing ones alchemic and combat abilities exponentially. You have been invited to En Corvis, one of the aforementioned academies. Here you will spend the next four years. How will you spend that time? Laughing with friends? Learning all you can? Honing your skills with a blade? ... What sort of tale will you write? School Description

| Name: Cornelia Rose Age: 18 Height: "I'm 5"4', but how does that matter to my acceptance anyway?" Weight: "None of your business!" Gender: Female Year: First Bio: "I wasn't born to a family full of alchemists, let's get this straight right now. My brother joined the entertainment biz and my parents are in something else. In High School, I liked a lot about the sciences especially the part about alchemy. Maybe it's because of that anime, who knows. Even when I played games, I always chose alchemy as a profession. So my mom was like, what the hell let's enroll my daughter into this school. If she enjoys it then that's all the more better. And here I am...and you're reading this...and I'm going to stop writing this now." Appearance: Likes: "Hm, I guess I like rock/metal/alternative music. Dancing is nice, too...although I'd never just do it. I'd either want to be alone or in a place where other people are also dancing. I'm kind of self-conscious that way. Uh, what else...Oh! I like candy...mainly chocolate; that stuff is good. Oh yeah, sleeping is also a plus, although I have this thing. I hate going to sleep at night but I don't want to wake up in the morning. Maybe it's because I like making the most out of my day...but then I end up waking late anyway. See? It's weird." Dislikes: "...I see what you're doing. If I tell you my dislikes, you'll use that to determine my class. Oh ho ho~ I don't think so." Weapon of Choice:(If any) "Weapon of choice? I don't know...my mind? My mom never allowed weapons in the house...well okay, my brother's swords are an exception but he's like...an adult now. So I guess I'll choose the sword...maybe." Mana: "Don't have one...yet." |

"Someone once told me that, 'Friendships come with meetings, partings and reunions.' But how could you truly part with someone if they're always there...in your heart?" |
| I'd like to join, but can you tell me a bit more about Mana first? |
| A mana is kinda like a familiar only to first obtain one a Mana needs to give you its permission to form a pact and let it borrow its power. Not everyone can see mana, ergo, not everyone can form a pact. It can also leave you any time it wants to, if you piss it or or something. Mana can take many forms such as turning into a weapon or attacking something directly. These Mana also help in the creation and synthesis of of Alchemic Items, able to remove specific properties from materials and use them to alter or create matter. |
| Spiffy. I might make a character soon. |
| Name: Yuuki(悠希) Yasu(安) Age: 19 Height: 6"00 Weight: 130lbs Gender: Male Year: 3rd Bio: Carefree, and cheerful Yuuki, who is often seen with his arms crossed, is an awkward person who can be rather clumsy at times and often comes up with strange or borderline mad scientist creations via alchemy. While his natural talent with alchemy has earned him praise 75% of the time his experiments are met with explosive results thus his workshop needs constant repair and replacement equipment. He enrolled in this academy because he practically had to, less he spend 4 years in prison for practicing alchemy without a license. He was the youngest of his workshop of five and with his Upperclassmen graduating he'll be the only one currently using his workshop. Appearance: Likes: Alchemy, Interesting people, Girls with short hair Dislikes: Having nothing to do, Spicy food, explosions... Weapon of Choice: Knives (Held in a backhand position) Mana: Einzelkampf the Mana of War. Or "Ein" for short. Unlike most Mana, which can usually be summoned and dismissed, Ein resides within Yuuki. He possesses more power than any human can possibly imagine and Yuuki can use that any time he wants, but the more of his power he uses the more control Ein gains over him. He's smug arrogant and an all around jackass to pretty much everybody and see's living things as pawns. When Yuuki uses his power he takes on Ein's appearence for a short while. |

He formed a contract at the age of 4, being the youngest in his family to accomplish this feet. His father had done it by 6.

| Name: Gauche Seeing Age: 18 Gender: Male Year: Third Personality: Gauche is sarcastic, prideful, and headstrong. He acts as though he is royalty, and thus doesn't take advice or listen to others. He more often works alone then in a group, and takes everything personally, making him a hard companion and nearly impossible to work with for the impatient person. He is negative on a daily basis, pessimistic, and impatient. One of his few good traits are a good work ethic and never goes back on his word--if you can get it. To relieve stress he writes in a small journal he keeps on her person at all times. Most of what is in it are observations and lists. His reason for alienating people is because he is afraid of being close to anyone--this is because of his sick mother, who is in critical condition. Weapon of Choice: Long sword Mana: His mana is a long-bodied, sickly-looking dog. Niche, Mana of famine. Bio: "My family isn't too well off, so for the first half of my life I worked as a paper boy. I used to deliver to a man who lived close to my place: he was big on the Alchemy. In return for his papers, he'd teach me a bit every other day. After a while, I managed to save up enough to enroll in the En Corvis school. Right before I left home, I made a pact with my mana. I've been working in the same workshop all three years, so I've seen a few people come an go. It's one of the more advanced workshops, so I'm one of the only ones left--right now there's only four of us, and one is talking about leaving. Besides that, I work several jobs on the side to pay for the hospital bills for my mom. She's sick, and my dad left, so I've been keeping the two of us safe a long time." Appearance: Dark hair and eyes, light colored skin. Likes: "I like being focused on things and listening to music. Food in general, writing, getting things right, winning anything, training for anything, competition." Dislikes: "Listening to stupid people." [ooc] Props if you can find the origin of his and his mana's name. I'll probably add more later, as well. Also, I'm debating on making him gay. Opinions? |
| Name: Astrum Ruina. a.k.a "Gun God", "Black Trigger", "That Strange Guy" Age: 19 Height:??? Weight:??? Gender: Male Year: 2nd Bio: Born to the Ruina family, a family best known for its peerless research and advances in destructive alchemy and most especially alchemical bullets, he is the only child of the current head of the family. As it stands, he is currently first in line for succeeding as family head when his father retires. However, as the family head is expected to possess exceptional knowledge in alchemy, succession is not given purely based on lineage so as to best preserve the family's interest. And should the chosen successor fail to meet the requirements befitting his position, the position will be given to another of the family who is most qualified. As such, Astrum has been taught in the knowledge of alchemy since he was a child. Due to his intensive studies and training, at the age of thirteen the Mana, Black Barrel, who had originally partnered with a distant ancestor centuries ago and helped establish the Ruina family, formed a contract with him. In the time since the beginning of the Ruina family, Black Barrel has only joined with three other members, including the first. Even so, with the partnering of the family symbol Black Barrel, a guarantee of succession is not given. So, Astrum went to the prestigious En Corvis Academy, where all the past heads at one time head attended since its establishment, to continue his studies. Despite popular belief, the Ruina family does also possess considerable knowledge in various other fields of alchemy, but simply decline to capitalize on it. Appearance: To date, no one outside the immediate family knows his appearance. As is family custom, the potential successors all have their faces hidden from infancy. Astrum is no exception. The masks he wears are always different each day. Even his exact height is unknown as he is known to wear clothes and shoes that alter or mask his height, or he walks and stands in a way so as to appear shorter. As such. he can only be recognized by his bizarre and eccentric appearance. Likes: Unknown Dislikes: Unknown Weapon of Choice:Aside from Black Barrel, he uses a specially modified gun that fires alchemical rounds, called Barrel Replica. Unlike the Black Barrel, the damage it inflicts is dependent entirely on its ammo and is not affected by a creatures strength. Mana: Black Barrel, also known as Longinus. When not in weapon form, it takes the appearance of a raven. When in weapon form,it can take the form of either a pistol or rifle, and is always black, hence its name. The damage it inflicts is dependent on the strength of the target, the more powerful it is, the more damage it inflicts, making it perhaps the best choice for fighting powerful enemies. Its ability also makes it a powerful enemy to other Mana. On the downside, against weak opponents, its power is drastically cut, making it almost useless. Because of its ability to strike immense damage to monstrous foes , its partner receives the nickname "Gun God". It is also known as "a gun that kills gods". |

| Name: Allegria Scatena Age: 17 Height: 5'6" Weight: 113 lbs Gender: Female Year: Second Bio: Allegria grew up with a traveling circus troupe that utilized alchemical knowledge for special effects. Since young, she was trained in gymnastics and acrobatics, leading to her development of a rather slim and agile physique. She served as an apprentice or substitute, when needed, for most of the circus' acts. Her studies in alchemy began at the age of 10, and by 13, she was a fulltime performer and special effects assistant. Allegria claims her reason for enrolling at En Corvis Academy is to "learn new tricks to enhance the troupe's performances." On the other hand, her family most likely sent her to En Corvis due to her habit of causing accidents during her experiments--and her clear enjoyment of the results. Personality: A personality of contradictions. Having been raised in an environment that serves to entertain others, Allegria finds great joy in making others smile. Likewise, she seems to be equally amused by misfortune of any sort. Her emotions can change on a whim and are usually expressed with grandiose movements as influenced by her training as a performer. Though she often wears a smile on her face, the manner in which she speaks and acts exude a sense of mischief that make her true intentions unclear to others. Her knack for improvisation has made her rather untrustworthy on the surface, but does a decent job covering up her short temper. Appearance: Likes: Practical jokes, misfortune, fresh air and high places Dislikes: Authority, work, lectures, restraints Weapon of Choice: Throwing daggers. When the situation calls for it, Allegria can also rely on her nimble body and anatomical knowledge. Mana: Serafino ("Fino" for short), a mischievous Mana of Illusions who doubled as a lucky spirit for the circus troupe. Though the two are already quite familiar with one another, a contract between them was only formed about a month before the current school term. Fino himself is a little hard to describe as he is known to seemingly disappear and reappear without a moment's notice, but those who have seen him usually compare the harlequin to a devil on Allegria's shoulder. The harlequin doesn't stay with Allegria every waking moment, but everytime they are seen together, he dons a different carnival mask. His true form is allegedly different from the miniature harlequin usually seen, but due to the fact that Allegria has yet to tap into his abilities, this has remained a mystery. [I will revise this profile again when I am not distracted by the TV. *shot*] |
