Welcome to the Utul College of Ancient Sorcery, newest applicant! I am your headmaster, Maximillian Donnel, and I’m delighted to welcome you to our halls! As you well know, we've invited you to join our private institution based on the quality of your innate magical ability. We see promise within you, and wish to improve upon your talent through study, experience, and, of course, tests. By the time you graduate from our fair institution, you will be a full fledged wizard in the concentrations of your choosing! Isn't that delightful?
Now, we have a number of magical guilds that you are able to choose to be a part of while studying at Utul. We require that all students choose a guild to be a part of in their freshman year, for your guild also determines where you reside. Unlike other academies, we actually let you choose your guild! Please, read up on them, and decide which one is the right fit for you.
>http://pastebin.com/nTumfDRG
You must also choose your freshman year classes! We require that all freshman study at least 1 major concentration of magic, though many elect to study 2, and the most astute even take on 3. You also have the option of taking 1 or 2 minor concentrations. Peruse the list, and make your pick!

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.

>Name: Sasha
>Year: First Year
>Origin:
Sasha was brought into the world on a full moon in the Frost Father's Grove, a small place of worship far up North. The Frost Father, a god of ice and undeath blessed the child with his gifts.
Growing up Sasha often came into conflict with her parents, cultists who wanted her to revive the great warriors of old for some grand scheme or plan to return the realm to its old order. Sasha however was far more interested in preserving the living than resurrecting the dead.
Spending much of her time curing the ailments of the sick her parents soon realized that her talents were being squandered and decided to send her to the prestigious Utul College instead. Not discontent with her parents decision Sasha now found herself somewhere warmer with lots of new people blessed by the gods.
While she may not be particularly adept in the ways of elemental magic it is the Elementalist guild's focus on balance and calm meditation that makes it the most interesting pick for Sasha.

>Name: Emery Ashdown
>Year: First Year
>Origin:When Emery was growing up he was always told of the destructive property to fire. "Fire obliterates villages, burns the skin, and destroys all it touches." Yet Alard realized something, yes fire can destroy but it can also be used for good, cooking food, cauterizing wounds, and keeping predators at bay. He believed that all life is based around flame, and that it was the flame that first birthed humanity, some say he even worships it as a goddess. Alard soon made it his goal to find a way to incorporate both pyromancy and restoration spells in order to use the flames of life to heal injuries and ride the flame of its infamous name.

>Name: Dieter
>Year: First Year
>Origin (Where do you come from? What is your background?):
I come from a small, poor village in the middle of Saxony, though I really don’t see it as my home 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 accidentally 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. Then you’ll understand where I am coming from.

Year: First Year
Origin: Hailing from the literal "Edge" of the world, Quint (as his friends know him) was once a student in the Knight's Academy, the great prowlgrin riders of Sanctaphrax, the great floating city in the sky. After a mix-up with a cloud-eater and the whole Edge freezing over, Quint thought that a change of Scenery would be nice, and put in a transfer to the Utul College of Ancient Sorcery, where he hoped to excel in his Destruction based magic and some minor Enchanting.

>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.

It's coolio. Here's the character. Sorry if the bio's a bit rambly. I'm exhausted.
>Name: Cedar Stonebridge
>Year: First Year
>Origin: Cedar was born in England. His birth was the talk of the village, entirely due to its strange circumstances. An old druidess, past childbearing age grew pregnant in the summer, much to the wonderment of the hamlet. The druidess was without husband, and murmurs abounded that she danced, sang, and copulated with the Fair Folk on moonlit summer nights. She went about her duties, and gave thanks to the gods for her good fortune. On the spring Equinox, under a cedar tree, and beneath full moon, Cedar Stonebridge was born. Named for his village, he learned from his mother the names of the plants and animals of the woods, and of the basic uses of some herbs.
It was as Cedar began to grow into a man that his attunement with nature first manifested itself. In a forest glade, amid ancient oaks, he discovered faerie circles: colorful mushrooms in the center of the clearing. With tentative steps, he entered one of the circles, and as he did, a gust of wind came through the trees, rustling the leaves and carrying the sweet smell of flowers with it. At that moment, he felt the connectedness of all things. The cycle of life was laid plain before him: the birds who eat the berries from bushes, who are eaten by snakes, who are hunted by mongooses, who are preyed on by wolves. He saw the grass which the deer grazed upon before they were felled by human hunters. Mighty oaks grew before him, and were felled by woodsmen. At the end of everything, at the end of life laid humanity. He saw that man was hungry and greedy, through no fault of his own. It was then that he knew that the gods, faeries, and spirits of the forest were in danger. With their holy places being trampled, harvested, and clear cut, the magical beings have nowhere to go, and are slowly fading. Cedar knew what he must do. He had to protect the sanctity of nature, and help man rediscover his connection to the magics of the ancient world. The only problem was that he know not how. After his vision, the young man fell to the ground, drained. There, he slept for a day and a night. When he awoke, he saw that the grass about him leaned towards the faerie circle, and towards him. Cedar knew he was different somehow, but didn't know what was special about him.
Meanwhile, his studies were going well, and the druidess was about to impart unto him the first of the secrets of her trade when she fell ill. The townspeople sent for a healer from a nearby village, and while the two waited, the druidess told Cedar of Utul College, where she wanted him to continue his education. The healer arrived too late, and Cedar's mother was gone. Cedar Stonebridge packed everything he owned into a sack and set out for the city, singing the whole way, for nothing brought him more joy than song.
Upon arriving at the city, he was overwhelmed by the sights and scents of the place, and he yearned to return to his quiet hamlet, and rest in the oak glade by the mushroom circles. However, he resolved to carry on, and fulfill his mother's dying wish. Cedar booked passage on a trader's ship, and after a year of travelling over sea and land, arrived at the College, where he enrolled. He knows little of his own magical ability, and is in wonderment of the College, with its massive size and population. Someday, he hopes to return home, and contact the fae folk, of whose existence he is certain, and discover how he can help the world begin to heal. The identity of his father remains unknown to him, and he intends to investigate that upon his return as well.

>Name: Fai Ren
>Year: First Year
>Origin (Where do you come from? What is your background?):Fai was born to an influential family hailing from the far eastern lands. Said family had influential enemies. One night Fai's family was betrayed and attacked. That attack was vicious, quick and devastating, nearly wiping out his family wholesale. it would have too if not for some loyal and quick thinking servants spiriting him away after replacing him in the crib with another child. Fai was taken west, to hide with the gaijin out of the influence of his enemies. Thus the baby grew into a child, intemperate, angry, alien to his peers and alone. He was bullied by other children for being small and "squinty eyed" nigh constantly. This made him yearn for the home he never knew but knew existed greatly. Sadly he could not go back without being killed.
The sad bullied child grew into an angry young man. He cultivated his Qi with the few exercises his servants/parents knew from his family endlessly. Hoping to regain a spark of his birthright. he directed his anger and misanthropy outwards, and his adversaries noticed. Fights with him started becoming less deal with bruises and more dealing with broken bones and disjointed limbs. Soon the fights started to get fewer and far between, but more severe, as no one took him on with out a weapon or a distinct numbers advantage. One day while drowning his depression in cheap beer he was attacked by several toughs filled with liquid courage and bearing daggers. They jumped him in the bar, and he was hurt badly. In a fit of desperation something broke inside him, and fire lashed out at them from him, setting their alcohol stained clothes alight. All this happened in front of a talent scout for Utul, said scout promptly enrolled him in the college. Now after many years Fai see a way for him to reclaim what is his, and make a place for himself in the world.

>Name: Antje Aufwachen
>Year: First Year
>Origin:
Earthmancy, enchantment, druidry, wizardry. Unfitting words for the gift. Antje calls it by its true name; Animism. 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.

Name: Trixter
Year: First Year
Origin: There were plenty of reasons to wonder how Trixter had ended up studying in the College under the Poltergeists guild. He would often claim it was a long story, but in reality it was quite simple. Trixter had been made in the woods by a wizard with no sense of right or wrong, nor the common sense of making sure your creations don't eat you after you finish making them. Trixter was honestly feeling a bit guilty about that part, but hey, he hadn't known better at the time. As time went on though, his mind developed, and he found a fascination for the books in his creator's hidden lab. Eventually, he decided that he became curious how he was made, and if he could do something similar, but in some of his early days he seemed to have destroyed the most relevant books and notes, so he was forced to go to the source, to where his creator had learned these amazing things. And so there he was, Utul College of Ancient Sorcery, at first people were a bit hesitant to let an owlbear inside its walls, but once he mentioned his creator The Poltergeists were quick to bring him into their circle, if for no other reason than to keep him from accidentally spilling the things he had learned from his creator's books and notes.
So there he was, in the big school of magic, surrounded by some very strange fellow mages. This was going to be fun.

>Name: Dieter
>Year: First Year
>Origin (Where do you come from? What is your background?):
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. Then you’ll understand where I am coming from.

Name: Trixter
Year: First Year
Origin: There were plenty of reasons to wonder how Trixter had ended up studying in the College under the Poltergeists guild. He would often claim it was a long story, but in reality it was quite simple. Trixter had been made in the woods by a wizard with no sense of right or wrong, nor the common sense of making sure your creations don't eat you after you finish making them. Trixter was honestly feeling a bit guilty about that part, but hey, he hadn't known better at the time. As time went on though, his mind developed, and he found a fascination for the books in his creator's hidden lab. Eventually, he decided that he became curious how he was made, and if he could do something similar. But in some of his early days he seemed to have destroyed the most relevant books and notes, so he was forced to go to the source, to where his creator had learned these amazing things. And so there he was, Utul College of Ancient Sorcery, at first people were a bit hesitant to let an owlbear inside its walls, but once he mentioned his creator The Poltergeists were quick to bring him into their circle, if for no other reason than to keep him from accidentally spilling the things he had learned from his creator's books and notes.
So there he was, in the big school of magic, surrounded by some very strange fellow mages. This was going to be fun.

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.
Guild: Mystics
Major Concentration Classes: Watermancy {As a front for blood magic}
Minor Concentration Classes: Alchemy {As a front for blood magic}
>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 her classes to study, but she's having trouble with the languages being spoke. She's found a translator owl, though, so some of the issues of language have been mitigated. [Attend classes: skip orientation.]
2. While not terribly interested in the mainline of study, Devi starts her studies in watermancy. She's not deliberately studying blood magic, but she's trying to feel out who's actually a practitioner. [Feel out conspirators in watermancy. If none exist, try to gauge the level of conservatism.]
3. In her private time Devi secures her study room from intruders. She needs some degree of security and confidence that nobody will break into the lab during her work. Devi is fairly thorough about her work, and goes about finding some books on the subject. [Secure the room]

1. The first day at the new school. While Sasha was a lot calmer than she had expected herself to be it was probably just because she had to warm up to some of these people first. Either way she would be sure to find a seat in the front of her Restoration class. After all she wanted to learn as much as possible.
2. Second was Necromancy. Of course one of her parents favorites and not uninteresting for a healer either. Sasha was convinced that learning more about death and what lay beyond was the key to perfecting the principles of restoration. Really the two were much more akin in her opinion than most people liked to admit. She would be sure to try and get a seat in the front to soak up as much knowledge as she could.
3. Last up for today was Frostmancy class. Sasha had never really enjoyed swimming in the three months it was warm enough for the lakes to thaw. Frostmancy and restoration combined however were pretty much what she had always expected necromancy to be like. A cold version of life, void of all warmth and emotion that came with passion and fire. In Frostmancy class she would try to sit a bit further back, perhaps second or even third row, trying to pay attention to what they were being taught, but mostly just slacking off whenever watermancy took its turn instead meddling with whatever she had learned in necromancy class.

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.

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. So what are you powers then? 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.

You attempt to make it outside to the rolling green glades, but make a wrong left. And then a wrong right. And then a wrong left again? Didn't you see that statue before? Realizing you're walking in circles and that it's almost class time, you rush back to your dorm to prepare.
Electromancy class actually ends up being a lot of fun! Your teacher, Dr. Mikola Mesla, has a unique way of teaching involving things called "coils". You're absorbed by his presentation, and end up learning some spells.
>Spellbook:
>>Electromancy:
+[Minor Shocking Touch] Imbue an object or person with a small amount of electricity generated through your fingertips, enough to give a person a slight jolt.
+[Minor Electroshield] Generate an electric aura that slightly protects you from incoming magic attacks. The aura defends best against watermancy and frostmancy spells.

You attend enchanting class, but the professor is fairly roundabout in his explanations and you don't understand him quite well. You attempt to rehearse a spell that would imbue the bronze armor in front of you with thorns…but accidentally cast a silence curse on yourself!
>Afflictions:
-[Silence Curse] You aren't able to speak or cast spells! Better make it to the school nurse ASAP.
Despite your new affliction, you end up learning a significant amount in your weapon channeling class. Your class-assigned broadsword feels good in your palm as it sings through the air, chopping wooden dummies in half.

You attempt to go to conjuration class, but almost get trampled by the huge stampede of students heading to class en masse. Would it kill the faculty to use some alteration magic to make the hallways wider? You duck into the bathroom to avoid becoming a pancake.
You find a nice, quiet space in the Ancient Tomes & Scrolls section on the fifth floor of the library. Far from a completely secluded studying space, but relatively private. Rarely do students ever venture up here, usually it's just the occasional faculty member.

You knock on the door of your floor monitor in an attempt to get a better grasp of the huge layout of Utul. After explaining your plight, the monitor gives you a rolled up, dusty map and tells you to go away, slamming the door in your face. Wow, helpful.
After going back to your room and unrolling the map, a face suddenly appears on it! AHHH!

However, your mind soon wanders to blood magic, and you strike a discussion with one of the most intimidating men you've ever seen, a man by the name of Horag.

By the time you finish fantasizing about picking Ms. Peabody's breakfast scraps out of her teeth, class is over and you haven't learned a thing.
You attempt to read up on necromancy in the CLEARLY LABELED Forbidden Tomes section of the library, but are stopped by Professor Snape soon after blowing the dust off one of the tomes.

However, you do have drawbacks. Though being so closely tied to magic does make you more powerful, it also makes you more susceptible to it. Spells casted against you will pack more of a punch. Additionally, you remain tied to your lamp…wherever it is, and must abide by the orders of whoever finds it. That is, unless you figure out how to sever your magical ties to it.

Year: First Year
Origin: Born in the small fertile Kingdom of Mercia to the as the second son of the royal family Alexander has lived a comfortable life in the capital city. The family of Marcheval have always been wizard-kings with arcane power flowing through their veins, with every generation seemingly given great skill in a different element. His generation was blessed with great skill in electromancy and he himself was deemed a prodigy. There was one huge problem however, Alexander loathed to study, even as a young child he could be found escaping the palace grounds to go frolic with the common folk leading his fellow children on all sorts of adventures. As he grew older he only seemed to increase his wastrel ways and has been taken with the idea of the wandering knights errant who travel the lands rescuing damsels and slating evil beasts. In an effort to satisfy this wanderlust to some degree his parents have sent him of to Utul college hoping the mysterious of the school will keep him there at least long enough to get some studying done.

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. Then you’ll understand where I am coming from.

Name: Trixter
Year: First Year
Origin: There were plenty of reasons to wonder how Trixter had ended up studying in the College under the Poltergeists guild. He would often claim it was a long story, but in reality it was quite simple. Trixter had been made in the woods by a wizard with no sense of right or wrong, nor the common sense of making sure your creations don't eat you after you finish making them. Trixter was honestly feeling a bit guilty about that part, but hey, he hadn't known better at the time. As time went on though, his mind developed, and he found a fascination for the books in his creator's hidden lab. Eventually, he decided that he became curious how he was made, and if he could do something similar. But in some of his early days he seemed to have destroyed the most relevant books and notes, so he was forced to go to the source, to where his creator had learned these amazing things. And so there he was, Utul College of Ancient Sorcery, at first people were a bit hesitant to let an owlbear inside its walls, but once he mentioned his creator The Poltergeists were quick to bring him into their circle, if for no other reason than to keep him from accidentally spilling the things he had learned from his creator's books and notes.
So there he was, in the big school of magic, surrounded by some very strange fellow mages. This was going to be fun.

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.

Maybe I can smooth some of the edges out with people then, make some actual friends here instead of enemies.

Earthmancy, enchantment, druidry, wizardry. Unfitting words for the gift. Antje calls it by its true name; Animism. 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.

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.

>Spells:
+[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.

You attend the dinner and sit with your classmates, immediately recognizing an air of unwantedness. Whispers are thrown about with side glances galore as, one by one, your "friends" get up and leave you. You recognize one word being thrown about, one that you loathe…monster.

You continue your spellsword training, but feel as if you've learned nothing new and only practiced what you already know. You resign yourself to practicing new techniques next class.
Runecrafting! What could be more powerful to a spellsword than etching sigils of great power on the blade and pommel of a mystical sword? Nothing I tell you! If only you could get a hang of them. You attempt to etch a minor explosive rune, but something goes wrong and things blow up in your face. Literally. Better see the nurse about that burn on your face.

You feel blood rush to your head as rage begins broiling inside you. How dare these insufferable classmates throw away your lineage's legacy as if it were rotted fruit! You could just…just…ARGGGH!
You slam your hands down in front of you out of nowhere in Geomancy class, and there is a rumble. The rock and stone jutting out from the wall in the back of class, normally reserved for practicing Geomancy in class, starts rumbling.
…
A hand. Then two feet. Then a boulder for a head, with glowing blue light seeming to emanate from its depths. The construct begins…talking? With a booming voice it proclaims:

After the boring orientation dinner, Horag stops you outside of your room.
>Here, I got something for you.
Horag passes you a little red book that you quickly stuff between your other textbooks.
"What is it?" you ask.
>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.

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.

However, as you walk to the orientation dinner, disaster strikes…
One second you're cutting across the end of a hallway, the next you're hovering slightly above the air, completely immobilized in some kind of purple mist, while four masked individuals stand in front of you. One of the individuals starts talking to you.
>So the teutonic knights finally sent someone to snuff us out, eh? Or are you working for someone else?
You try to respond, but physically cannot. Whatever magic is immobilizing you also seems to be petrifying your vocal chords.
Your silence is met with a swift punch in the teeth by the individual talking to you. Blood gushes down your nose, dripping onto the white tile beneath you.
>Piece of shit, you know how much more difficult our operations are now that you're here? How much heat is on us already? DO YOU EVEN KNOW?
You are punched again, smack dab in the nose. You hear a crack.
>Regardless, your investigation stops here. No hard feelings.
The individual cackles, beginning to draw some kind of summoning circle on the ground. As soon as he's finished, something…something starts to crawl out of the circle.
The masked individuals leave, and you are released from your purple prison to face the conjured creature in front of you. A ferocious demon with a tremendous maw, you can hear it frothing and salivating at your presence. Through the pain of your broken nose, you spot a student at the bathroom entrance right before the demon attacks you!

The orientation dinner goes alright, with Headmaster Donnel seemingly going on and on about Utul’s history. That is, until Snape takes the podium. His words ooze malice as they come out of his mouth.
>Students, if I catch any of you working against the studious nature of this fine learning establishment, I will prosecute you to the full extent of school rules. That is a promise. I will also have the Black Knight assist me in my search for the unlawful. If you do something that may hurt this school, I will find about it.
The Black Knight nods, slamming his tremendous sword into the ground in agreement. The shockwave reverberates throughout the dining hall.
>Additionally, the Black Knight and myself are seeking assistants in rooting out corruption on campus. Please see either of us if you are interested.
The dinner concludes, and everyone retires to bed.

Name: Trixter
Year: First Year
Origin: There were plenty of reasons to wonder how Trixter had ended up studying in the College under the Poltergeists guild. He would often claim it was a long story, but in reality it was quite simple. Trixter had been made in the woods by a wizard with no sense of right or wrong, nor the common sense of making sure your creations don't eat you after you finish making them. Trixter was honestly feeling a bit guilty about that part, but hey, he hadn't known better at the time. As time went on though, his mind developed, and he found a fascination for the books in his creator's hidden lab. Eventually, he decided that he became curious how he was made, and if he could do something similar. But in some of his early days he seemed to have destroyed the most relevant books and notes, so he was forced to go to the source, to where his creator had learned these amazing things. And so there he was, Utul College of Ancient Sorcery, at first people were a bit hesitant to let an owlbear inside its walls, but once he mentioned his creator The Poltergeists were quick to bring him into their circle, if for no other reason than to keep him from accidentally spilling the things he had learned from his creator's books and notes.
So there he was, in the big school of magic, surrounded by some very strange fellow mages. This was going to be fun.

1 - I did it! I made a real construct, an actual creation! I even made the professor speechless! I *told* them it was real magic, well! They can't ignore it now! Probably best I stuck to a bit more subtlety in the future, though. Let's start with a little clay simulacrum, like intended.
2 - Head down to Headmaster Donnel's office. He probably wants to give me an advisory position at the Academy, until they get Animism approved as an official branch. I must act humble, of course, though I know they all want to learn from me.

>Name: Antje Aufwachen
>Year: First Year
>Origin:
Earthmancy, enchantment, druidry, wizardry. Unfitting words for the gift. Antje calls it by its true name; Animism. 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.

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.

>Year: First Year
>Origin (Where do you come from? What is your background?):
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. Then you’ll understand where I am coming from.

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 also presents an interesting approach: what better way to figure out where other blood magic users might be than to insinuate herself into the apparatus investigating them? It might be dangerous, but nobody will expect it. Well, probably, anyway. [Sign up for the Black Knight's duties]

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!
