This is for anyone wanting to test out their characters in the setting before the applications open, see what clicks. Multiples will be allowed for this post, and you can generally assume any threads are a self-contained continuity unless you feel like getting creative.

Just post a thread with your CHARACTER NAME and CANON NAME in the title with a prompt and others will reply. Prompts and threads can be action spam or prose or whatever. These threads can be used on the sample section of your application, as well. Go out and have fun! Feel free to consult the institute tour and dorm guide for setting info. We also encourage you to check out the "!!event" tag on the IC comms to brush up on the story so far.

[He would make this short and to the point. When the feed turns on, there is a rather tall man sitting at a desk. There was a light nod before he spoke.]

... Greetings. Ah'm ... Father Alexander Anderson, and Ah'll be yer Theology teacher. ...Guid day.

[Short and to the point! The feed ends.]


[Action]

[Don't mind the overly tall priest calmly walking around the school grounds, it's perfectly normal. He's making himself familiar with his surroundings, that's all. He's doing a very good job at keeping to himself, though he will talk to you if you so choose.

So why not walk on over and say hello?]

[Pamela is over by the hedge maze. She takes a deep breath, raises her arms and suddenly the maze grows massive within seconds. It even begins to take shape until it resembles a sphinx. Art, however, has never been her forte - that's science. She's only working on an artistic display because it's a non-harmful way to refine her control.

That's when she notices the priest. Well, an outside opinion couldn't hurt. Just because she thinks it looks like a sphinx doesn't mean that it's recognizable as such to anyone else.

Pardon me...could I get your opinion on something, sir?

[He paused at the sound of a voice, and turned to look over at the... sight that was now before him. Anderson blinked once, twice, and then finally laid his eyes upon the speaker.]

Aye?

I'm trying to work on the finer control of my powers, so I was just curious if it looks like what I was trying to make it look like.

[She doesn't want to say what it is or even give any hints just yet, though. Mentioning what it's supposed to be defeats the purpose of trying to make it recognizable.]

So I was just wondering what it looks like to you.

Well...

[He took in a sharp breath and exhaled slowly. He was never good with this sort of thing. A lion shaped out of plants looked the same to him as a bear shaped out of plants. Though... he was pretty sure it was neither of these.]

It's obviously an animal.

[Dealing with younger children and art was easier than older students...]

[At least it's somewhat recognizable, and a sphinx isn't what would necessarily jump to mind immediately for anyone who isn't a mythology buff.]

Close...I'll give you a hint: think mythology.
