The Celestial Institution | Semi-Advanced discussion

In this thread, you submit your finished teacher characters, and wait for the moderators to approve, before you start requesting to roleplay, or roleplay at all. Once all teachers have been created, I will cross them out here, and add your name + your character's name in spoilers. You don't have to request for a claim, it's a first-come-first-serve basis. So do periodically come back and check!

This is the current list of teachers available (2) History and Power Control are taken by the moderators for the plot growth:

History (Clairene)
Literature (Ellipsis)
Power Control (Kylie)
Music
Art
Combat (AspiringAuthor)
Strategy (Chiara/Ava)

Trivia ( pets, sexuality, twins, etc.):

Oh uhm, could I claim a teacher? Literature would be a preference, I'm considering bringing back Aisling, but would she be. . . you know?

Could I do a combat teacher?

All of those sound good, Clairene can update the list when she gest back on. You can start working on your characters

Yeap, I have updated the list! Please do work on your characters, thank you!

Name: Elara

Age: technically 108, but she looks 23

Gender: Female

Appearance: human form: long tumbling midnight-blue hair, silver skin, obsidian-black eyes, blue blood, cold features, petite and slender, extremely stealthy and quick, and she always has trademark arched, pointed ears; Fae form: mostly the same, but with branching black antlers and talons; she also gets a pair of taloned, slightly-translucent black eagle wings. She becomes much taller in this form, pretty much an inhuman height. She has the ability to shift back and forth from her forms, and can even pull off partial shifts. (ie. Fae form with no wings, Fae height in human form, antlers in human form, etc.)

Personality: extremely cold and harsh, very precise and direct and excellent at deception; she refuses to show emotion unless to someone close to her; extremely quick and cunning and lethal, will not take crap or excuses from anyone; she is terrified of failure and if she has a goal, she will not rest until she acheives it; she is ruthless and emotionless but under that she is very understanding and compassionate; if you earn her loyalty then you are very lucky; she's an Alpha wolf, basically

History: she grew up in a Faerie realm composed of warring clans. She grew up in the Dark Fae clan and trained hard for the war, especially since her gifts were so powerful. At age 17, her best friend Vesper was killed in a battle, which enraged and broke Elara: she unleashed her powers and won the battle single-handedly. She turned away the honors that this afforded her and isolated herself, training harder than ever and building her walls and defenses so that she would never be hurt again.

Species: Dark Fae

Powers: Darkness Manipulation; she can shape and solidify shadows at will. Due to her Fae heritage, she has very advanced speed and senses, and can fly due to her Fae form wings. She also has a minor affinity for ash wood since Fae have nature powers.
She gets fatigues and pains when she uses her powers too much, but she always hides it because she hates showing weakness. Because of her extensive and constant training, she has great endurance and pain tolerance, and is very powerful

Teaching Specialization: Combat Instructor

Likes: almond croissants, winning, training, success, knives, trees, flying, the night, storms, fighting, predatory animals, being alone, darkness

Dislikes: bright light, Fae from other Fae clans, clingy people, rudeness, people who try to get under her skin, food that is too sweet, failure, weakness, fear

Trivia: she is bisexual but is not willing to get into relationships because of her defenses and past
She has hawk friends who she considers almost familiars
She is from a large family of powerful, high-status Dark Fae, but she has distanced herself a lot from them.

I think she is mostly fine, except for the part on her powers where she seems just a tiny bit too strong. So this part: "she has very advanced healing, speed and senses, and can fly due to her Fae form wings.", I was thinking maybe she can't really heal / at least not advanced healing. The speed and senses makes sense, since she is a combat teacher after all.

Okay, that makes sense. I guess the part about her pain endurance already kind of overdoes that.

Other than that is she good?

Yeap that looks good! She is approved :)

thanks!

hey! cool character, very pretty, but you can't make a hybrid & mermaid isnt one of our species :')

also, she needs a weakness, and more details to be written for "heightened physical activities", so which activities, for example!

i think she works now!! approved, and no worries because you did end up making the necessary changes :) i'll add her on the list when i'm home! i really like her weakness as it contrasts with her siren-water power thing :D
