OOC: Tales from Algernon's Amazing Archmagical Academy!

I'm assuming the PCs aren't actually "young" in the game-terms sense of the word, right? Meaning that their stats don't get altered by their age...?

No, no altered stats. They're not children, just, er, generically young, I guess. :\
 

DEFCON 1:

Man, I got as far as "Magical College Athletics Association" and literally burst out laughing. That's great - I love it!

However, I'm not going to guarantee anything, because as you mentioned, it wasn't exactly what I had in mind for this adventure. But I'm flexible... I suppose it all just depends on what kind of party I can put together come Friday. Thanks for your submission, and stay tuned! :lol:

Well, dangit. You were the only non-specialist Apprentice I had (up until that point). Oh well, we'll always have Cold Truths... ;)

Okay, Lazlow. Here you go:

Why, thank you, Gray Shade. Here's a bunny with ten cookies on its head for you.

Appearance: An attractive an charming Half-Elf, Elias looks like the most typical cross-breed of the two races as you can get. His nose and chin are sharp with thin eyes. His ears and hair are most decidedly human oriented, though, but somehow it works. His clothes are worn loose and baggy, which he pretends was on purpose, and he moves with an air of confidence around those less magically inclined, but tends to shy from those who can best him in arcane matters, which is most people. Though not very big, Elias is a scrapper, and more than one haughty person has underestimated his size. Needless-to-say, he knows how to use his charm and strength to his advantage.

Background: Elias was left as an orphan on the front porch of the Academy when he was a baby. He was taken in and raised on magic, though it never quite came to him like it came to the other students. Earning his teaching there with manual labor and odd jobs, he was often ostracized by the others, having no known background aside from the school. This eventually got to Elias, and more than once he was involved in small scuffles here and there, quickly learning that since he cannot best the others with magic, he had better stop them from using theirs, usually by pinning them to the ground. Since his early adolescence, he has learned to use his reputation gained through confrontation to his advantage, and has become quite the kind mediator in minor disputes, though none recognized by the staff, and is now slightly more respected among the student ranks as a settler of sorts.
 

Looks good Tylermalan, thanks.

I'll be wrapping things up today around noonish (CST), and hopefully will post a list of The Chosen Few later in the afternoon. Good luck everyone!
