Magical Teacher Professor Landry! - Discussion 2: This School is Weird!

[SinrXIII]

A while back, I told Teal I might join this game. Now that I have a semi-viable means of internet usage, that time has finally come. Thus:

Name: Kohana Akecheta

Gender: Male

Aura: Green. Just Green.

Age: 19

Appearance: Kohana has straight, long black hair, like most Native Americans. He wears a bandana that covers the top and sides of his head; the cloth is white and covered in various patterns. His skin is darkly tanned; this is very clear because he almost always refuses to wear a shirt. At best, he can be seen wearing a brown, western-style duster. He wears black, fingerless gloves on his hands, and his legs are covered in black, cloth pants. These, like his bandana, are covered in patterns, stylized in white ink. His feet, when he bothers to wear shoes, are protected by black sandals.
Kohana also has several tattoos. These are mostly comprised of similar patterns to the ones found on his bandana and pants, and cover his back, legs, and forearms.

Around his waist, there is always, -always- a very furry black belt.

Race: Non-human; Wolf-spirit’s Vessel

Abilities: Shirahadori – taught to Kohana by a wanderer who stumbled upon his village in the plains, the shirahadori is a Flash Action allows Kohana to nullify any attack he can fit his hands around. Not even nullify, really. More like... a catch. Just... a -really- fast one. That works on sharp things. Naturally, this sort of thing is impossible in anything more than a one-on-one fight, and is likewise impossible to do several times in rapid succession. It is also impossible for Kohana to disarm an opponent with the shirahadori.

Summon: Guardian Wolf (Pup)
User: Kohana Akecheta
Element: Black
Level: 1
An ability that summons Kohana's guardian Wolf Spirit, though because it relies on Kohana's spiritual power on this side, it can only manifest as a puppy. Like most summon animals, it's unusually tough and in good shape, but is still, well, a puppy. Not very threatening. It does, however, project a weak magic deadening shield, which can weaken supernatural abilities inside of its area of influence. Because Kohana doesn't have a grasp of how to control when the Puppy manifests, it's a Black Ability, for now.

Now You See Me – an ability granted to Kohana by his merger with the trickster wolf spirit. When active Kohana’s aura and scent are deaded, as are any sounds he makes. He is not invisible when using the technique, he’s just really really sneaky.

Now I see you…
User: Kohana Akecheta
Element: Blue
Level: 1
Because Now You See Me… wasn't very useful, this is a continuity shift of that ability. Through Shaman training, Kohana has obtained the ability to draw out the spirits possessing objects, people or locations, and force them into physical form. After that, he can, well, kick them – or something. Also works on items gifted with artificial intelligence, including AIs in Computers. Requires physical contact. Has a secondary effect of letting Kohana sense when a spirit is near; they make his tail bristle. He can also smell them.

Flash Step – when all else fails, run like hell away.

Background: Born into a small group of mystics, Kohana’s lived on a reservation in the Midwest all of his life. Despite what is governmentally “regulated,” he and a select few of his village manage to “poach” enough of the remaining bison population to keep their group fed and clothed without causing much disturbance.

More noticeable is the theft of petty goods and cash from nearby, non-Native American towns.

Upon reaching adulthood, Kohana, like all other good members of his group, submitted to going on a spiritual journey to discover the spirit that would guide his life. Instead, he found himself the vessel for the trickster spirit Abyssal Wolf. The physical manifestation of this merger of souls gave Kohana black wolf’s ears and a furry black tail, both of which he hides rather adeptly.

The merger also opened up a whole new world to Kohana; one he travels done at the behest of his village elder, who’s taught him most of what he knows. Now, Kohana is instructed to attend the Amaranth Institue for the Gigted in order to further develop his powers, and maybe cool his jets.
Kohana is a hand-to-hand fighter, learning to brawl in his dealing with the law and order in various towns around his home. He favors grappling and takedowns, though his legs are something to note, and his fists hurt as much as the next guy’s.

Clubs: Soccer Team
Kickboxing Club
Wrestling Team (Lightweight Division)

Notes: Kohana is a horrible flirt and womanizer. He also likes to drink and cause trouble, but he’s rumored to be very reliable when it comes down to it. Which could be a total lie.

Relationships: Sieglind Tressel – How exactly Kohana and Sieg no each other is no mystery. Sieg’s older sister Katherine ran a tavern/bar back near Kohana’s home reservation, which Kohana frequented. However, upon the news of Kohana’s moving to and attending Amaranth, the brother and sister packed up shop and set up a new place near the school, which Sieg now also attends. Sieg has the maddening power to know exactly when Kohana is up to something, and the even more annoying habit of telling someone, who then promptly intercepts Kohana.

Katherine Tressel – Katherine is Sieg’s older sister, and a crack shot with a rifle. Don’t ask Kohana how he met her, all you’ll get is a glare and a growl, and maybe worse depending on his mood.

Twitchy – A mysterious character from Kohana’s home, Twitchy keeps an eye on the boy to make sure he doesn’t cause too much trouble. He’s usually found watching birds, or acting like one. Covered head to foot with a wide brimmed hat, glasses, and a poncho, Twitchy is a sort of walking scarecrow that never fails to stop Kohana’s mischief before it starts.

Hie Coyote – Kohana’s cousin, and a fellow vessel. Hie likes to pick at her cousin whenever opportunity presents itself, and to date he’s never gotten the better of her. The two act like kids when they’re going at it, much to the chagrin of everyone around them. Outside of her dealing with Kohana, Hie is a pleasant person and is generally well-liked. She shares her cousin’s temper; do not ever bring this up.

Male Fanservice! Wonderful.

I happily approve this character and shall immediately begin plans to take advantage of this wonderful event.

Oh, hey Riin? Since you designed Hie Coyote (in the RP where SinrXIII's characters were originally from - on another forum) could I get some input from you on her power-set, bio, costume and all that other stuff? Control of her's a little in question too - we (Sin, you and I) will have to work something out, I think.

Speaking of that, for players, the general rule I've settled on is that Mentor Figures, Faculty Members and Parents* will be controlled by me when they do enter the game in some regard, and the Student Characters in your relationships will remain under your control unless I say otherwise. You may get PM'd an abbreviated character sheet for them as well if they have powers.

Right now, the only non-parent NPCs I'll be controlling off your relationship sheets are Krylo's Morrigan, Dante's Sophia Andrews and maybe SinrXIII's Sieglind Tressel (I'm not sure yet, but leaning toward controlling him). There's a handful of others I'm considering taking control of, but I'd prefer to wait until they appear in the game at least once first, so I can get a better feel for their personalities.

If either of you (Krylo and Dante) would like to use them in a scene, just contact me via IM or PM or something like that.

*Nephthys Whitewrap is an exception for now, I'd like to see what Bishoujo has in mind for her Personality first.

[SinrXIII]

Let it be widely known:

Diana makes me laugh. So, so hard.

[Teal Mage]

Just continuing Steel's scene.

I seriously encourage everyone to at least post once, even if they don't get involved in any of the scenes, since this is the only chance you'll get for a little while to interact out of battle. The next section will be too hectic for this kind of thing, so! Either use it or lose it.

Anyway, that's about all I can say. As usual, address any questions to me.

[Krylo]

Who is that mysterious raven haired girl?

What is in the vial?

What plans does Dal have cooking?

How does he still have teeth with that diet?

Will he ever get his fedora?

Will our heroes escape Boris and Natasha's newest cunning plan?

Find out next time on Magical Teacher Professor Landry, "Heart's Aflame" or "Fedora's For You!"

[Girasol of Chaos]

Right now I have a grin stuck on my face. This is amazing.

Stop distracting me from my college projects, dangit.

[Krylo]

Pish Posh.

Arr Pees are far more important than silly things like college.

[Riin Whitewind]

Or sleep.

[Teal Mage]

Hm.

It appears the cafeteria scene is nearing an end. Steel will need to post in his scene soon, or else I'll need to think about ways to extend what's happening in the other area - at least a little.

Either way, my next GM post will most certainly be in a new thread. Yes, most certainly.

Oh, and by the way everyone, Menarker withdrew from the game.

Any other withdrawals I should know about?

Well that goes without saying.

It's an unfortunate thing when one's power goes out, however.
