Yeah, I know its cliched, but oh well.
Anyways.....
This RP takes place in an alternate world. One where magic has flourished instead of science. The time is the Roaring 20s (1920-1929) right after the first Great War (WW1 with magic instead of guns and tanks). The Academy itself is located in Plumshire (about where Wales would be in our world). All magic is divided into elements, which are as follows: fire, water, wind, earth, lightning, light, darkness, and arcane. In this world, it is extremley cold, and all the water in the ocean down to about 50 miles below Britain is frozen (Impossible? Maybe.). In addition to magic there is compounding (potion making) and alchemy (transmuting thins into different things).
A character post should something like this: (just make sure you ask if your spells are overpowered)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Lucius Lionheart
Year in Academy (out of 10, yes, there are ten years): 2
Specialization: Lightning
Special notes: Has a water spirit, so he can cast water magic at the same proficiency as lightning magic.
Spells:
Shock Spear: Shoots a spear of lightning in the direction he's pointing. Power: weak
Electromagnetic Shield: He creates a barrier that reflects weak to mid power attacks. Power: mid
Lightning Wave: Shoots a cresent-shaped blast of lightning that travels a short ways ahead. Power: weak
Magnetic Root: If his target is standing on metal, he can magntize his feet, rooting them to that spot. Power: mid
Icicicle Lance: Shoots a large icicicle in three directions (forward, diagonally forward to the right, diagonally forward to the left). Power: mid

Water Burst: Summons a high-pressure burst of water at the opponent's location. Power: mid
Black Pearl: Surrounds a ball of electricity with water, giving the water it's black color said in its name. He then throws the ball at something, blasting them with a combined force of his two elements. A fusion spell. Power: Low
Summon: Water Spirit: Summons the water spirit bound to him, sending beams of high pressure water in all directions. This spell either knocks him unconcious or weakens him greatly. Power: strong
Profile: (Your profile should be a backstory, not something that gives you a bonus!)
Lucius is a 2nd year student at the Academy. Even though he was praised his ability to solve problems, he lacks a lot of practical magic ability. He was unable to cast a single stong power spell. This all changed when he went on a trip to the frigid beach with his friends. It was there he heard something calling him. He followed the voice into a cave on the ice (the cave was in thae cliff face, but there was no way to get there without going on the ice). This voice happened to be a water spirit. He was confused as to why the spirit wanted him. The truth was, the spirit had been calling to anyone who could hear for about 15 years, and Lucius was the first who heard. Wanting to be free from her cave prison, the spirit quickly asked if Lucius could accept having the spirit bound to him. Seeing this opportunity, he agreed. He gained his first high powered spell, the ability to summon the water spirit. the only disadvantage was that it fatigues him greatly, most of the time causing him to be rendered unconcious. That was during his first year brake. After a boring rest of the break of practicing and studying, Lucius returned to the academy with new determination.
Personality: Lucius is not the most enthused individual. Some of his classmates say he is depresed. He is not, however. In a recent poll in his class he was voted "Student with the Most Potential." He does not however, put forth enough effort. He passes all his classes, usually with high marks, but does not involve himself with a lot of the school based orginizations. Lucius can not tolerate bullying, and will usually blast people who are bullying others with lightning. Lucius feels compelled to learn magic for reasons he does not reveal (Yet, muahahahahaha!).
Appearance:
Lucius wears red or bright green usually. his regular outfit consist of a long sleeved, bright green shirt. Over that he has a red vest that has a collar that goes up to his nose. His usual pants consist of long cargo pants of a dark blue color. In addition, Lucius' cloak is red, like all second year students' cloaks. He has modified his cloak by making it only cover one half of his back. It is shorted than a regulation cloak, only going down half his back. He also cut it so the cloak comes down to a point. He has wears a black belt that has five pouches on it for compounding materials. He wear grey shoes. Lucius has brown hair that goes down half of his neck, and is usually combed and neat, but it can be messy if he's in a rush. Lucius wears glasses. In addition, he is heteroshromatic (two different eye colors) with one eye orange and one eye violet.
The Water Spirit, Aquaria:
The water spirit bound to Lucius ppears in the form of a small female child with fin-like ears. Her skin is bluer than human skin. The spirit Wears an abnormally oversized beret (don't ask how it stays on her head) that is blue like unpolluted water. She wears a dress that looks like it is made out of violet crystal. She has long blue hair that goes halfway down her back. She is very outgoing and has a tendency to annoy even the most un-annoyable. When she is forced to fight she summons a sword of water as large as herself. She mostly lets Lucius do the fighting for her. She can boost the person she is bound to's skill with water magic to aproximately the same as their most proficient magic.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a few general rules to follow. Firstly, us your common sense. If somethig seems overpowered, try to make it weaker, or come up with something that makes it a last-resort style move. Next, don't put yourself as a teacher at the academy. You can come up with some of them, but don't try to be one. You should have 1 storng powered spell per year unless you have a good reason to have more or less (you can ask me if your reason is good enough). Nextly, don't abuse spirits. you can have one or two, but any more would be overpowered. Finally, have fun! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
