Description
My GOODNESS, this took all day....@_@ But nonetheless, one day was all it took. Not to mention, had to tear the paper out of the sketchbook, since it was bigger than the scanner area. AND trying to scan it in regularly made for a reeeeeeally crappy quality. Luckily, I think the characters present are distinguishable enough from each other to not need much digitional editing! That is reserved for the REAL clusterfucks that would otherwise give one lots of grief trying to tell where the pic starts and ends. XDANYWAY, quick summaries!
I'd have made this more complete but...I'm all out of steam for tonight. I dunno if I'll have much chance to edit this later so...here it is for now!
As many students as I could muster up in one sitting!
Thoughts? Additions? Any of the ones that I made myself that you'd be interested in co-owning? Cuz I could surely do that!
EDIT: FINALLY...THEY'RE ALL DONE! @_@
--------------------------
Kazwellor Roswaal (Half-Elf)
[The Chosen One] - A teacher's pet whose parents are professors at the Academy, his former quiet and studious life comes to an end when he comes back from the Gizmo Guild hailed as a hero. Much to his dismay, as he finds himself surrounded by people who want to know more about him. And...things change again when he begins sharing his study space with someone else.
Suki (Kasha-Nekomimi)
[The Broken Bird] - After several years of putting up a ferocious front, she finds herself weary, struggling to maintain her own facade simply because she feels she has no choice. So...it is with Kaz's kindness that her damaged heart will begin to heal. For she once had a family. She knew what it felt like to be loved...and misses that dearly.
Zakary Fenkas (High Elf)
[The New Guy] - A new face at Empyrean Academy who has no context for any of the rumors floating around, he befriends Kaz VERY quickly, becoming "Nerds of a Feather" with him, and is perfectly willing to give Suki a chance at friendship. He just needs to know the ins and outs of the Academy with Kaz's help.
Justinian III (Birdfolk)
[The Self-Proclaimed Rival] - Justinian had worked hard to get where he is now. He had studied like hell, and had gotten up to the level of Ordo 6. Except Kaz took all the glory without even trying...so Justinian will try his damnedest to prove this point: Kaz isn't all that great. And he'll do it through entirely fair means, just to make himself that much more superior to him!
Zereth (Dragon)
[The Student Teacher] - Zereth is a student who had worked his way up to magical talent, being born with LESS inherent gifts than other dragons. And because he wants to one day be a disciple of King Norbert's, or even a royal mage, he practices his ability to guide and mentor others. Although sometimes his insistence on educating others CAN come off as patronizing.
Shizo Yamazaki (Yokai (Yamajiji))
[The Rambler] - Some people mistake this guy for an old man. Truth be told, he does kind of act like one, often having many life stories to recount, philosophies that he props up time to time, among other things...all of which he will share, with a soft, non-aneurysm-inducing voice unusual for a Yamajiji.
Baddington Bertholamew (Cynocephalus)
[The Loyal Prefect] - Few students can uphold the school rules better than Baddington. Or as others call him, "Baddie", "Badass", or even just "Bad". Beautifully groomed, popular and wealthy, with a pedigree to prove his lineage, he is pretty much every student's role model here...which is why he keeps a close eye on Kaz, to be sure he's making a good example of himself.
---------------------------
Lorenz Lighton (Birdfolk)
[The Keet] - Next to Shizo, this one is KINDA similar, in that he's very curious of Kaz and what life was like outside of their monotonously safe abode in the academy. Except Lorenz is...kinda weird. He tends to ask a lot of dumb and inane questions, is SUPER hyper, and he does have various "feminine" interests (i.e. sewing, baking, pink clothes)...Kaz can hardly keep up with his energy.
Oodl El-Vellesk (Illithid)
[The Smartass Bookworm] - She's one of the smartest students in the class, and as a result, she tends to sass and snark at people a LOT. In general, she seems to have a somewhat apathetic attitude towards things in life that are otherwise amazing or surprising. Think Sucy from Little Witch Academia! Is a jerk, talks like a jerk, does jerky things while avoiding penalties, and is completely fine with it.
Annuna-Li (Aqrabuamelu)
[The Badass Princess] - As a member of the esteemed race of half-human, half-scorpion warriors known as the Aqrabuamelu, and a champion of Archery sports, she came from a long lineage of Aqrabuamelu who guarded kings and castles, and even the gates to other worlds according to legends! Annuna-Li seeks to uphold her bloodline's legacy, having a fierce competitive streak, but ultimately a fair one.
Baena (Half-Demon)
[The Shy Girl] - She was born under quite unfortunate circumstances. While Baena's single mother does love her...Baena can't help but feel unwanted, knowing the truth. Feeling like a mistake. Like she's hideous. To her, she knows Empyrean as the only place left to accept her. Her two heads are merely extensions of herself containing parts of her personality, every bit as self-conscious as the rest of her.
Maleia Ola (Menehune)
[The Dancer] - A beautiful and supple-bodied performer, Maleia is well-learned in many forms of traditional dance. However, her free spirit and rebellious attitude has also gotten her to take up learning modern, "new generation" dances and arts as well. She's very creative, and does not want other's sensibilities to impede, censor, or muddle her work's meaning..
Nara (Sphinx)
[The Sassiest Sphinx]
Sphinxes are artificially created by the Netjeru, mostly as guardians! And...Nara is currently too small and weak to guard much of anything. So she's been sent here to brush up on her magic. However, what she lacks in strength, she makes up for with dry humor, a sharp mind that LOVES to be challenged, and a very special love of making puns. Especially around people who can't stand them.
Phoebus (Unicorn)
[The Lover Boy] - A modest and even somewhat shy young Unicorn, he has an attraction to only one fair maiden. But one that pushes him to be the best version of himself, physically and mentally. Even learning how to transform into a human! Only question? Who IS he in love with? He hasn't answered yet!
------------------------------
Adelaide Su-Marienne (Gorgades)
[The Ojou] - A Gorgades who's been adopted into a rich family, she's always been well-groomed to be a proper and beautiful lady, even with the fur all over her body. As of now, she's quite timid of being among the lower class she knows nothing about, and really just wants to fit in, despite her clumsy social skills. She thinks a good way to do that is to wow other students with shows of luxury and splendor...kind of unaware that this just makes people jealous of her, and NOT in a good way.
Lyyras (Centaur/High Elf Hybrid)
[The Serenade] - A "New Age Male" Centaur, as they call it. hr has the genes of a High Elf in his blood. This translates to a talent for singing, musical instruments, archery, and poetry. Graceful to a fault, being a charmer to girls, and an inspiration to boys, he surrounds himself with adoring peers, and shows the world what beauty his arts can bring. Although...he gets surprisingly awkward when asked to have an in-depth one-on-one discussion.
Chitarra (Pengaloon)
[The Chill Party Girl] - Pengaloons are a rare sight on the Ascended Kingdoms, but simply incredible at magic. And as a result, Chitarra manages to coast by at Empyrean Academy, including schoolwork, projects AND exams! So she spends her free-time partying it up, and enjoying many hedonistic pleasures. Food, drink, sex, dancing, playing pool...and chilling out. She can afford to do so, after all.
Sydnee Chloria (Animalfolk (Frog))
[The Theorist] - The resident "Crazy Frog" of Empyrean, she thinks of herself as having a perfect grip of how things REALLY work on Cauldron. The kind of student who looks into things way too deeply, jumps to conclusions, and calls the other Sheeple (no offense to actual Sheeple) for disregarding obvious truths! For the most part...people let her make her theories, simply out of morbid curiosity, and because the theories are actually...strangely hilarious to listen to.
Elowin Farlandriel (High Elf)
[The Expert Mage] - Among the top percentage at the school in all major respects, right up there in league with Justinian III, Hisoka and Melissa Springwaters, he only has so much left to go until he becomes an Ordo 7. But while he can, he makes a noble and beloved hero out of himself...to personally atone for the sins of his parents, since they were avid Elvish Empire supporters, and slave-owners. Something he feels immensely guilty of, even if it isn't his fault.
Hawthorne (Pixie)
[The Curiously Morbid] - Unusually for a Pixie, rather than make pranks on others...he much prefers to simply say awful things to make others recoil in horror. All with a smile on his face! The kind of stuff that makes others think something's wrong with him. Also shown to become drawn to bad things happen at school out of sheer morbid curiosity.
Noah McQuinn (Sheeple)
[The Choir Cutie] - His musical talent is well-known at the school, manifesting in the form of truly beautiful and melodious singing. He has been inspired to pursue this by none other than Lyyras, to have something else in his life other than getting bullied for being "girly". Pink hair and wool, short horns, doesn't matter! He has decided to embrace it, and love himself regardless.
-----------------------------
Neil Blues (Quirk-Human)
[The Cool Kid] - A Quirk Human, whose quirk is conjuring energy "pixels" that can form together to take various shapes for offensive purposes. And collecting small bits of life energy from downed opponents in the form of "coins" to empower his abilities until the end of a battle! Although despite this, he isn't really much of a fighter, preferring instead to try learning magic for the daily convenience of existing in a magical world. And learning the "sacred" art of playing Gazing Games in his free time! And hangin' out with his girlfriend too. Not to mention, a good portion of Empyrean students think of him as a "Cool Kid". If only they knew. XD
Aisha (Bake-Nekomimi)
[The Hot and Pink] - A Bake-Nekomimi, whose main magic specialty is Pink Fire magic! Specifically, a sort of Pink Flame that doesn't burn, but it has the effect of stimulating people's nerves. She can cause them lots of terrible pain, or great body-wide relief, or relaxation. Among other things. AND with a Bakeneko Form resembling a sort of pink panther! Albeit for a long time, she shared the same sentimentality of HSIS!Aisha, feeling like simply another nameless face in the kitty-crowd. Really, among Bake-Nekomimi standards, she was nothing special...until she met Neil and fell in love with him! Nowadays, the two are hardly seen apart, and love each other dearly!
Esmee Latimer (Glowgal)
[The Fashion Snob] - One of many Glowgal steeped in the Insect Kingdom's avid fashion craze, she's taken it too far. Declaring her standards higher than everyone else's, and regarding everyone else in disgust, the other Glowgals, sick of her attitude, pretty much sent her to Empyrean to get rid of her. And to have her learn something on the way....
Charla (Naga)
[The Brilliant But Lazy] - Her family is completely overenthusiastic about things, and has tried frequently pushing her into greatness in the past. They know she has the brains for it after all. So, left to her own devices...she treats her gig at Empyrean as a vacation, and does JUST enough to keep her grades average. No more. No less. Just enough to get her family off her back.
Darius Stonewall (Minotaur/Centaur Hybrid) (Belongs to )
[The Gentleman Giant] - A man of brain and brawn, he has an inherent talent for an ability called "Rage Arsenal". Yet even then, he is more of a lover, not a fighter, and has instead pooled his efforts to specializing in Magical Armament, to be helpful to others as opposed to just destructive. He can charms the ladies with his looks, manners, and intellect, without even trying! But those who pique his interests more are the ones who DON'T flock to him. Namely...shy girls, and strong girls.
Keone Kanekalau (Menehune)
[The Muscle-Man] - Among many Menehune whose parents were victimized by the Elvish Empire, he has been raised to hold his masculinity in extremely high esteem. Working out constantly, as well as sharpening his magical skills, and keeping his academic mind equally sharp, he admittedly gets easily offended. But responds to criticisms by bettering himself however he can.
-----------------------------
EVERY CHARACTER BELOW THIS LINE BELONGS TO
Thearina (Catfolk)
[The (Former) Electromantist's Granddaughter] - When she first came to the school she wasn't as popular as she was now. She eventually gained her popularity by befriending Natsu and his group and eventually raised through the ranks to become a psuedo-leader after she asked out Julius, another member, to a dance. She can sometimes come off as rude, but means no harm.
Julius (Swanman)
[The Pretty Jock] - Julius has always been pretty popular, both for his water magic and how friendly he despite how he looks. He doesn't let the fact that's he's not big and muscular like other Swanman get in the way, because he still had the ability to learn what bigger Swanman couldn't. He's also lucky because Thearina has a strong dislike of muscular men from Ziz knows where.
Hisoka (Kitsune)
[The Academic Rival] - At the top of his class academically, Jisoka has made himsepf out to be one of the best in the school. His family was very strick on him and didn't want him to shame their name, so they basically molded him into who he is today. He has a rivalry with Mel, because of both their positions.
Melissa Springwaters (Vulpin)
[The Sporty Rival] - The best at any sport in the entire academy, better than even Annuna-Li, Melissa makes sure she dominates all -- on the field, since she's not a jerk. She did this originally to impress her deadbeat father who only came around for her once in a while, but now does it solely for herself. She has a rivalry with Hisoka due to their positions and lies to herself about not liking Hisoka's teasing.
Delphselia (Centaur)
[The Crude Jack-Ass] - A Centuar women who doesn't look up to New-Aged Centuars, but rather Old-Aged one. Neglected by her mother and grandmother when her sisters were born, she immediately took after her Old-Aged grandfather who decided to turn her against her family by giving her what she wanted. Now she's a highly skilled mage in training who likes to pick on students (especially girls) she doesn't like.
Sqelch (Sturni)
[The Skilled Pervert] - Oddly enough, this Sturni is rather skilled when it comes to magic. Being the only child in her family not to turn out as a bum or in jail (much to her mother's, who didn't want her, dismay), she was immediately enrolled by her proud father into Empyrean. As she instantly got there, she started to go after the pretty boys of the school and she solidified her position as the school's only female pervert.
-------------------------------
Altair (Fruit Vampire)
[The Calm Confidant] - Known for his calmness and helpfulness, Altair is the most down to earth student in all of Empyrean. He's a pacifist who's learning calming magic in order to never have to fight anyone who starts a conflict with him. He's become someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on for most the school.
Lewis Gallagher (Sheeple)
[The Shy Healer] - Lewis came to Empyrean with his brother, Wayne. Only his brother was interested in magic, while he only came to Empyrean because his brother is the only family member he has left since his mother's death and father's abandonment. He eventually settled for learning healing magic because all he truly wants to do is help people.
Wayne Gallagher (Sheeple
[The Cold (Former) Apprentice] - Wayne is a praticer of Electromancy and was originally an apprentice of Thearina's grandfather until he passed away of old age. He's now know as a rather skilled Electromantist at the Academy, but has also become cold at the death of his master. He never takes interest into others unless they are really interesting to him.
Hiroshi (Maneki-Nekomimi)
[The Rich Pretty Boy] - Hiroshi is way more interested in magic than most rich students at Empyrean. Rather than get angry at other students being more skilled then him, he instead decided to get better. The magic he is currently studying is magic that can bring more money and gold to the poorer Nekomimi in the Cat Kingdom.
Karan Patel (Rakshasa)
[The Rich Snob] - Karan comes from a rather powerful Rakshasa family and has always been held to a high standard. His parents had high hopes for him when joined Empyrean and so did he. He eventually got very jealous of the 'poorer' students being more skilled than him and it resorted to him picking on them with the help of his money and influence outside the school. His parents see no problem with this behavior as long as he gets more skilled with magic.
Baise (Animalfolk (Golden Langur)
[The Unskilled Aggressor] - Who was originally going to bring honor and pride to his whole troop, Baise slowly went mad with praise and power that came with the magic he wanted to study. Now at Empyrean, he's known for his lack of any skills because he wants his power fast and also know for being more than just a regular jerk. His only real friend is Karan, and even he's scared of Baise.
Ireye (Dogfolk (Borzoi))
[The Uncaring Unwanted] - After joining Empyrean to hone some magic skill, Ireye was immediately disowned by her whole family because most Dogfolk have an aversion to magic, kind of like the Ogres. It didn't matter to her anyway, because she was sure to find better people at Empyrean anyway. Though she comes off as cold and collected, she's actually emotional deep down and hides it well.
-------------------------
Nestor (Unicorn)
[The Pure Sweetheart] - Someone who just wants to be loved, Nestor has no recollection of his family and just wants to make friends so he can have a new family. He's unsure how he ended up in Empyrean, but he wants to make his time here worthwhile and find his purpose here along the way.
Natsu (Bake-Nekomimi)
[The Magic Hipster] - Natsu is always the life of the party whenever he gas them. He's very emotional, but more so he's very excitable and enjoys life to the fullest. His magic skills are on the downside, but his determination to get better and his all around attractivesness is what makes him more popular. He can seem rude at first, but once you get to know him he seems a little nicer, if not a little more immature.
Yuuna (Bake-Nekomimi)
[The Aloof Sister] - Seemingly less immature than her brother (but still as much), Yuuna is known as a 'cool loser' by her friends when she actually lets loose and has fun. She's definitely better at magic than her brother, but for all the wrong reasons. She can't seem to keep a boyfriend because she either gets bored easily or just doesn't know how to keep them interested.
Fowoke (Gnoll)
[The Cool Party Teen] - Raised by a Human couple since she was a small Gnoll, she gets out all her aggressiveness and energy through the parties' Natsu and Yuuna throw. She's much more mature than the siblings, but only by a bit. She's also a tad bit too trusting of others since she has no sense of danger. It might be why she practices fire magic despite the danger it can bring.
Jelani (Loxo)
[The Big Party Elephant] - Another partier in the group, Jeilani isn't that smart and it's a wonder why he's at Empyrean at all. He says it's because he comes from a full family of mages, but he's become more interested in partying than magic in recent years. Back at home he had more troubles with waring clans, so he's using this time to relax and stop worrying.
Itsuki (Kuirin)
[The Skinny Party Giraffe] - Itsuki is another cool loser like Yuuna, but he's far more interested in magic than the rest of the group. Sadly, he's only interested in it to make their parties more wilder. He comes from a long line of Kuirin who were the best of the best and he had a lot of pressure put onto him as a child to be just as good as all his fathers. This led him to throwing that all out the window when he got to Empyrean since his friends and partying felt more comfortable.

Weeeeeell, we COULD say they celebrate with "the usual stuff", buuuuuut...it's not that Baena and Ingrid are too "innocent"; just don't seem like the types to have that be their FIRST moments as an official couple. Though there certainly would be at least a minute of tender embracing and sweet kisses (with each of Baena's heads getting a fair share), then several hours of simply cuddling and laying with eachother as they discuss "what comes next" for them.
First, of course, would be preparations for the dance; they agree on that night being when their new relationship status would be made public, though also privately tell the good news to a few close friends--Nara, Adelaide and Sydnee--BEFORE the big night. They next go out to pick up fancy attire, a dress for Baena and a tux for Ingrid (both could've gone for frills, but the Nixie said she felt more comfortable this way). Then, once all other preparations are made and the soiree arrives, they walk in with hands locked and big smiles for their couple debut.
And the reaction? ...Well, not everyone was surprised. I mean they were basically joined at the hip for weeks; most folks were kinda EXPECTING this at some point. The couple hang out with their friends before dancing together for a good while, long after most other folks had left. To end the night, they share one last dance not in the ballroom...but at Ingrid's lake, a pale moon reflecting on the waters with fireflies glowing around them. The two had even prepared to camp out at the lakefront for the night; they changed into bedclothes and snuggle into a large bedroll, starring up at the starry sky above as they drifted off to sleep in eachother's arms.
And THAT...was one of many "BEST NIGHTS" of their lives.

Well of course not right away! Rather than hitting the gas pedal the first night, figured Ingrid might take Baena out to dinner. At least to pay her back for worrying her.
Not to mention, Baena admittedly has a big appetite. XD And a bit of belly pudge, much like Helena!
But oh boy, of COURSE everyone could see it! And probably be quite glad that neither one has to dance around the subject anymore!
...instead opting to dance around Ingrid's lake, before drifting off to sleep under the stars.
Ironically enough, this dance was the same one that resulted in Suki kissing Kaz for the first time. Perhaps the act prompting them both to do the same soon afterwards. Although probably not in front of the entire student body like Suki. XD

Geno-the-Slakoth In reply to TipsyRa1d3n [2019-04-06 01:50:44 +0000 UTC]
Yup, a nice dinner date sounds about right for them. And makes sense Baena's got a big appetite; she has three mouths to feed, after all! X3 ....Or by "appetite", did you mean-- (Sorry, wordplay with Lila ruined my innocence.
)
ANYWAY, that dance was definitely a big milestone for the relationships of several couples...Almost as if it was night preordained by FATE.
Though besides talk of romance, wouldja like ta hear 'bout that staff member I teased a coupla comments ago?

So about the custodian character I suggested in my other reply...decided to look up the nickname I gave them, just 'cuz I was curious, aaaaand: headstronggames.itch.io/dullah…
I mean, guess that WAS too good of a name to not already be done. Though would hope it's not illegal to use with a character of our own, so long as we're not getting paid for it. I mean it's not even his ACTUAL name, just a nickname.
In any case, hope you like my character idea in general.

OKIEDOKE, so getting to this just to start things off! Read about the Dullahan on custodian duty!
Hmm....Dullahans ARE a race in FantasTech universe. Baroness Sinclair? She's a Dullahan, even though she pretty much looks exactly like a headless human with a flame where her head should be! XD Sooo, Dullahans DO have varying levels of "human-ness".
Although this fellow...somehow when I think of a "suit of armor" for him, I think something along the lines of...of a medieval hazmat suit. Something that looks regal, yet at the same time, really clunky and perfectly suitable to making sure the guy inside stays free of all pollution!
Heck, while some call him "Dullahan Dan", others'd probably end up calling him "Buckethead". XD

Geno-the-Slakoth In reply to TipsyRa1d3n [2019-04-14 06:52:14 +0000 UTC]
HEH, WHY CERTAINLY. Though that would be "SIR Buckethead" to you kiddo; show some respect!
And "medieval hazmat suit"...not exactly what I was initially going for, but you admittedly made it sound even BETTER than my original plan. Appreciate that little detail VERY much.

Geno-the-Slakoth In reply to TipsyRa1d3n [2019-04-06 02:39:33 +0000 UTC]
Alrighty, let's do this...
Like any school, Empyrean Academy needs staff to keep its grounds clean and tidy, especially with all the magical shenanigans that occur. Luckily for them, they've had a hire of many years with a good head for cleaning and maintenance. Though that doesn't mean there's a good head on his shoulders...Usually it's tucked under his arm.
Meet Aidan Callihan, also affectionately known by the student body as "Dullahan Dan". A bulter-like custodian in shining armor with a fancy suit underneath (kinda like Frederick from Fire Emblem: Awakening), blue flames billowing from a place on his neck where a head would normally be. The noggin in question is covered in a black medieval helmet, no face visible underneath.
Besides fulfilling his janitorial requirements, Dan's presence at the school can be summed up in one phrase: m.youtube.com/watch?v=hsZRbFDs…
While most things happen, this Dullahan can usually be found silently watching in the background. Though even if he doesn't usually end up engaging in events himself, the guy has an uncanny knack for arriving right when his services are needed. Which is all well and good with him; he's more than content to simply perform his duties, waiting in the wings for his moment to shine [and polish].
