This is for anyone wanting to test out their characters in the setting before the game opens, 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.

Sogetsu Kazama | Samurai Shodown

Video

[The video feed begins in the school's art studio. In the center is a young man with very long, blue hair. He's sitting on a stool as he dips his fingers into a tray of watercolors. Within seconds, the colors become wet, and he starts to finger-paint on a nearby canvas. He doesn't even look up as he paints.]

Second-year students, remember that your charcoal sketches are due by the end of this week. Simple drawings like this are not acceptable.

[He holds up a picture that was turned in earlier this year.]

And as a reminder to all my new students, if you enrolled in my class to get an easy A, you're in for big surprise.

[Of course he announces all of this with almost no emotion.]

Someone really turned that in? It hasn't even got the right number of legs!

[glowing_moon]

They did.

I would have been more lenient if they had included the right number of legs and if it looked more realistic.

[mordredeschain]

Googly eyes don't exactly scream 'spider,' no.

Honestly, nothing about it screams 'spider.' It looks like something a baby would draw if you asked one to do a picture of a bug.

[glowing_moon]

The student thought he could get away with it because it's funny. While it's humorous, it's not what I asked for.

Mordred grows up fast, so my PBs are all different ages LOL

[mordredeschain]

And 'tis not so funny. Just babyish, and babyish won't help you survive.

XD it's all good

[glowing_moon]

Especially not in my class.

[He continues to paint with his fingers. He should really use a brush...]

[mordredeschain]

What are ya making there?

[glowing_moon]

This? It's a sample project for my older students. They'll be tackling watercolor.

[mordredeschain]

Be it of summat, or sheer abstraction?

[glowing_moon]

It'll be of a still life.

[mordredeschain]

As opposed to a moving one?

[glowing_moon]

Yes. Moving subjects are more for my advanced classes and photography.

[mordredeschain]

I see.

[glowing_moon]

You want to sign up?

[mordredeschain]

Sure. It sounds interesting enough.

[glowing_moon]

I've had a few drop my class, so talk to your counselor and we can work something out.

[mordredeschain]

Thankya.
