>Name: Marcus Varus Merichael

>Year: First Year

>Origin: Marcus is the second son of a minor noble family in the Kingdom of Mercia. Although a minor family the Lindberg family boasts a mighty lineage of powerful magic users and fighters. Although that power had been waning for a while.

With the pride of a noble family based upon the power of a family's magic the once proud family of Merichael were growing lower and lower. Marcus was one of the strongest in the family in quite some time. He and his brother were pushed by their family to study magic and the sword, and to bring honor and power back to their family name.

Marcus's brother, Richard, was already sent to Utul two years before and now Marcus joins him.

Name: Karl von Klaisterwitz

Year: First Year

Origin (Where do you come from? What is your background?): The son of Teutonic Knight, Karl spent all his years thus far learning three things: How to wield the sword, how to ride the horse, and how to crusade against the infidel. And those he did learn quite masterfully. His entire life he was raised to be a Knight of the Teutonic Order.

When Karl and his fellow Teutonics discovered Karl's innate magic ability during a training accident that almost became fatal, they did not know how to react. Was he blessed by the Holy Father above? Cursed by a demon of evil? Should the celebrate Karl's gift, or execute or banish him?

Once the invitation arrived, the elders and the Grandmaster made their decision: He was to go to this school of sorcery and learn all he could on how to best harness his gift. so that he may return and bring glory to the Order, and despair unto the heathen.

The act not merely of lifting stone from earth, but with the proper archaic techniques and the right runes, imbuing that stone with life, with a force beyond raw mass. The tradition of Animism has been preserved in the Aufwachen line for millennia, one of the few proponents left in modern Europe.

Truth be told, Antje finds it far less awe-inspiring than she was raised to. The world of muggles always interested her more than the world of magic. But she was born with the Gift, so an Animist she would be. Utul Academy might not carry the same ancestral weight as the old neolithic harrows, but at least it had running water and electricity.

Rolled 91, 12, 74 = 177 (3d100)

Name: Devi Patajali

Year: First Year

Origin: Devi hails from the impoverished farmlands of northern India. These lands, such as the times, are constantly wracked by war with the Mughal invaders and have been desolated as Mughal armies destroy Devi’s people. This conflict has done much to harden Devi to matters of suffering but has made her eminently practical and political. It has also made her clever and focused on worldly matters – a decidedly un-Hindu emphasis that has not earned her much respect and more than some castigation by her family.

How such hardening transpired seems plain to see. Born low caste to a poor family constantly at the edge of destitution from nearby conflicts, Devi has a peculiar and robust sense of how brutal and unsafe the world is for human beings thanks to the near constant lust of the human for violence. Such violence has fed her somewhat apostate conception of the nature of reality and their relationship with human life: the lesson of Rama on his chariot always struck her as ridiculous and the issue of violence was the only issue of that store. People might speak of enlightenment, but the world is ordered in blood and violence: those things are the true reality and the only truth to be had.

Such a radical break with her tradition – typically this sort of view warrants burning – has given Devi an extreme view of the methods she investigates to help human beings: her grim nature and pragmatism – as well as the issue of constant violence – has squared her securely with those who practice blood magic; Devi worships Chinnamasta fervently and the priests of that tradition have helped her develop basic skills. To develop such an aptitude isn't easy, but Devi has managed: when people have problems that are critical, are unspeakable, are intractable, they come to her. She is a fixer, and she is trying to help in the most robust way she can. If she can maintain control of her heart when confronted with the infinite power of blood magic is another matter to be seen: every year her smiles grow less common.

+[Minor Hydroshield] {magic defense}

>Origin Bonus:

+[The Blood Covenant] You possess an uncanny affinity to blood magic, the unholy love child of watermancy and necromancy. A powerful yet self-harmful magic, many of its spells require some sort of tribute from their spellcasters in order to be utilized. You must be careful when studying this magic, for due to its ties to necromancy it can be considered forbidden to learn its secrets. +5 to actions related to Blood Magic, and it is easier for you to learn new blood magic spells.

–Actions—

1. Devi decides to head to freshman orientation. She isn't terribly interested and seems to pay attention to the parts she likes while focusing on other aspects of interest in the room: sometimes handsome men, sometimes odd jewelry or regalia indicative of eccentric magic users. Every so often Devi asks Horag a question about the general politics of the school, but isn't terribly interested in anything that doesn't deal with magic of her stripe. [Attend oirientation]

2. Devi attempts to find a more secluded spot to do her research. She's pretty throrough: abandoned areas, ancient caverns, and old abandoned buildings are high on her list. Within walking distance, of course. And secure. Always secure. This sort of thing can't be done in the open. [Find a proper lab suitable for research]

3. Devi continues to suffer through the watermancy classes. It's soo….boring…so..boring. I mean, water shields? Who gives a damn about water shields? Nobody. Nobody at all. That's who. Devi spends a good deal of her time scribbling notes about illegal transmutation recipes in her small ledger. People are dying and they're on about waterspouts. Seriouly?! [Attend Watermancy]

Probably you heard about soothsayers and clairvoyants and their mystical powers allowing them contacting the dead and look beyond the veil of the future or ask about the past. But have you ever tried to imagine how it is to live with such powers? When suddenly an angry ghost appears and demands something from you? Or a disjoined, fragmented vision of future or past starts flashing before your eyes, while being indistinguishable from reality?

Now imagine childhood with such powers. It just sucks. Lady Luck on your side if you were at least born in some backwater, where they won't instantly label you as a lunatic or possessed. I was. I don't mind that - at least they didn't burn me for witchcraft. Grandpa always told me it is a gift, passing each even generation in our family. And I should just live with it and embrace it without a fear, because there is nothing to fear.

Thing is, grandpa died when I was still a nurseling. And yet he still taught me more than the village witch. Eventually the entire clan decided it would be best to send me for some further schooling, since there was nobody around to help me with my powers. So here I am. What are you powers then? W-wow!

>Name: H'Shaeli

>Year: First Year

>Origin:

H'Shaeli is a Djinn, a creature born of the same Aether from which the beings who taught mankind spawned. Created untold aeons ago by powerful mystics who took a piece of the aether and bound it to a consciousness and magical laws, to serve mankind by granting wishes and desires.

Djinn, being of the aether, have no true form and can be thought of as beings of pure energy and consciousness. However, that which exists in the material realm must have a material form and so Djinn take on many different shapes, sometimes to please their masters, other times to decieve or fool them.

H'Shaeli's former master wished to learn all he could about the magic of the world. But a Djinn cannot conjure which it does not know, nor know that which it has not learned. And H'Shaeli (for that was what it knew it's name as) had not been summoned from it's lamp since the dawn age of magic. So now H'Shaeli finds its wandering the globe, traveling from school to ancient ruin, to discover the magics of the world.

This was a great many years ago, and for all it knows her former master has perished. Or waits until the day he calls it's name, and it returns with what it has learned. But still the Djinn must fullfil it's wish and learn magic. And perhaps one day, break the spell upon it's chains of gold and silver.

>Some kind of book of witch's curses that I snuck out of the Forbidden Tomes section of the library. Mostly boring, but I think you'll enjoy the back half of it.

…

You quickly rush back to your dorm room and begin flipping through the book. Hexes…curses…potions…blood boils? Coagulation? Shit, people do practice bloodmancy! You almost yelp in excitement, but restrain yourself so as not to bring attention to you.

>Inventory:

+[The Little Red Book {Witch Hexes & Minor Blood Magic}]

Today's Animagus class focuses primarily on transforming into cute creatures. Apparently, the more violent a creature is, the more difficult it is to transform into that creature and sustain the transformation…something about it being difficult to tame violent creatures translating into the magicka.

Ash manages to turn himself into a yellow rat. What a strange kid.

Let’s see. I come from a small, poor village in the middle of Saxony, though I really don’t see it as my home in any way because those people don’t like me very much, due to my whole magic thing. People are really religious around where I grew up, and saw me as some sort of curse. It was always a bit odd. I hid it best I could, but, you know, sometimes I got bored. I’m lucky I didn’t accidently summon anything too demon-y, else I would’ve been burning on a pole right now rather than writing this application.

I guess I was always a bit strange to most people, even if they didn’t know about the magical aspect of me. Where most people are looking to this world or to God for their goals, their answers, I always knew the answers lay elsewhere. It was when I was seven that I got the first glimpse of what I knew, what I had always known, held the answers: the ethereal plane. Sure, it was by accident, and opening the rift wrecked my small farmhouse and killed one of our best bulls, but it was beautiful. Ever since, I want to see it again, experience it, meet those from it. It is really something, you know. You should gaze into it someday, for a nice long time.

Name: Devi Patajali

Year: First Year

Origin: Devi hails from the impoverished farmlands of northern India. These lands, such as the times, are constantly wracked by war with the Mughal invaders and have been desolated as Mughal armies destroy Devi’s people. This conflict has done much to harden Devi to matters of suffering but has made her eminently practical and political. It has also made her clever and focused on worldly matters – a decidedly un-Hindu emphasis that has not earned her much respect and more than some castigation by her family. How such hardening transpired seems plain to see. Born low caste to a poor family constantly at the edge of destitution from nearby conflicts, Devi has a peculiar and robust sense of how brutal and unsafe the world is for human beings thanks to the near constant lust of the human for violence. Such violence has fed her somewhat apostate conception of the nature of reality and their relationship with human life: the lesson of Rama on his chariot always struck her as ridiculous and the issue of violence was the only issue of that store. People might speak of enlightenment, but the world is ordered in blood and violence: those things are the true reality and the only truth to be had. Such a radical break with her tradition – typically this sort of view warrants burning – has given Devi an extreme view of the methods she investigates to help human beings: her grim nature and pragmatism – as well as the issue of constant violence – has squared her securely with those who practice blood magic; Devi worships Chinnamasta fervently and the priests of that tradition have helped her develop basic skills. To develop such an aptitude isn't easy, but Devi has managed: when people have problems that are critical, are unspeakable, are intractable, they come to her. She is a fixer, and she is trying to help in the most robust way she can. If she can maintain control of her heart when confronted with the infinite power of blood magic is another matter to be seen: every year her smiles grow less common.

1. Devi talks to the clerk at the commissary. She's trying to figure out what books are banned or otherwise wouldn't show up in the shelf. She's circumspect about this activity and claims it's merely for historical research. It isn't, naturally, but the clerk doesn't know this. Along the way she purchases some minor items she will need for experimentation. Nothing out of the ordinary, of course. This is purely fact-finding. [Investigate the commissary]

2. The guild orientation doesn't interest Devi that much. What interests her is her book, and somewhere to study it. That being the case, she attends the guild with an ear toward anyone engaging in experiments outside of the usual boring realms of study. There has to be at least one person in the guild worth talking to. Probably. [Attend guild orientation: look for outsiders/resources to use]

3. The display the Black Knight engaged in during the orientation was, in a word, impressive.

It might be dangerous, but nobody will expect it. Well, probably, anyway. [Sign up for the Black Knight's duties]

>Origin:

Probably you heard about soothsayers and clairvoyants and their mystical powers allowing them contacting the dead and look beyond the veil of the future or ask about the past. But have you ever tried to imagine how it is to live with such powers? When suddenly an angry ghost appears and demands something from you? Or a disjoined, fragmented vision of future or past starts flashing before your eyes, while being indistinguishable from reality?

Now imagine childhood with such powers. It just sucks. Lady Luck on your side if you were at least born in some backwater, where they won't instantly label you as a lunatic or possessed. I was. I don't mind that - at least they didn't burn me for witchcraft. Grandpa always told me it is a gift, passing each even generation in our family. And I should just live with it and embrace it without a fear, because there is nothing to fear.

Thing is, grandpa died when I was still a nurseling. And yet he still taught me more than the village witch. Eventually the entire clan decided it would be best to send me for some further schooling, since there was nobody around to help me with my powers. So here I am. What are you powers then? W-wow! Can you do that again?!

+/-[Spiritspeaker] You are able to see all spirits still walking across the mortal plane, benevolent and malevolent.

However, as a drawback this also means that spirits are also able to interact with you when they wish, for the most part.

+[Fearless] Interacting with ghosts, wraiths, and all the other types of ectoplasmic undead has hardened you, granting you a +5 bonus to rolls for actions that would be considered dangerous.
