Planet Description: My planets name is Truillim, it is a planet which atmosphere is rich in oxygen, so much oxygen trees and wildlife can grow rapidly. The planet life grows to insane heights and dimensions due to an abundance of moisture in the air. There is a constant thick mist that makes visibility on the surface nearly impossible for our eyes. The planet is mostly swamp and thick forestation. Because of this, there are few mammals able to survive on the planet. There is an abundance of amphibians and reptiles living in these swamplands. Though they would be animals we would not recognize.
There is an alligator-like creature, with soft slimy skin, a mouth five feet wide. It can grow to lengths of 40 feet and would be considered one of the worlds greatest predators. They are not the highest level of life form, however. hundreds of feet in the air; in the trees, there are civilizations of insect-like bipedal creatures, similar to our dragonflies. They stand over 4 feet tall with wingspans that can reach 12 feet. They seem to have mastered a telekinesis type of communication and like bees work to better the hive. They have the rudimentary technology and no magic compared to our world, but they have an ability to always work in sync and take down even the most vicious of predators.
The planet would be seen as hostile to anyone living here, it is mostly a kill or be killed planet, the evolution of both animal and plant life has seemed to take the most vicious path, though really if you compare it to our own world and the wars that we have the savagery of any planet is if up for debate. Though I suppose that is better left for a different paper.

Student Name: Ecco
Character Chosen: Gaston, Beauty and the Beast
How are they a Leader?:
Gaston is able to rile up all the townsfolk and get them to follow after his lead. He inspires them to do better and has the admiration of almost every individual in town. Everyone wants to be on his side and follow his example. People are inclined to follow his lead in dire circumstances, like when things start going wrong at the castle, none of them hesitate when he orders the attack. Instead, they bravely burst into the castle and get to work trying to rid themselves of the beast which supposedly lives within range. They take Gaston's word for it that there actually is one.
Response: Ecco had enjoyed the fact that this assignment meant she got to watch something with Di'o, even though she didn't really understand why they had to. This didn't really have anything to do with learning how to write and stuff. Maybe it was something that she was supposed to learn before she got older.
The slime shrugged. School was weird and hard, especially since Di'o wasn't in her classes anymore. She struggled to understand sometimes, like now, but tried to muddle her way through. She had to do her best if she wanted to join Di'o's classes again. So she did her best to complete the assignments. Like watching this movie so she could find a 'leader'.
If the teacher hadn't specified it had to be a character, she would have said Di'o was a good leader. They were smart and funny and she followed them around. That was what a leader did, wasn't it? They got people to follow what they said and do the kind of stuff that they did. Di'o did that to her all the time!
At least Gaston was simililar to that, so she could use him as an example instead. Though, Belle didn't really like him much, and she very much liked Di'o, so maybe it wasn't quite the same?

Student Name: Marlais
Character Chosen: Li Shang, Disney's Mulan
How are they a Leader?:
Mulan goes from a nobody to someone that the rest of the members of the army were inspired by, but Li Shang was the real leader. He got the whole squadron to get in shape and ready to march by the time they were needed. He pushed them where they needed to be pushed and let them off easy when they needed that too. He also recognized how good a warrior he had in Mulan, even though he didn't know she was a girl. So to be a good leader you gotta know when to push your followers and you gotta know when to go easy on them!
Response:
Marlais felt pretty proud of his presentation. He managed to say it all at once and he managed to do it in a fashion that everyone could understand. Ok, so maybe he had to have a little bit of help, but that didn't mean that he didn't do most of it himself! He figured out who he wanted to do the assignment on and he'd watched the whole movie. He'd watched it like four times even!
Proud of himself, even if the teacher had wanted something else, Marlais trucked himself back to his spot and plunked himself down in his chair. He'd watched the movie enough times that he could sing along to the words and even now he was kinda humming them to himself. Maybe for the next assignment, they could watch a movie in class and do a sing along!! That would be fun.
Lost in thought of what he would suggest if they were to do such a thing, Marlais completely missed the next presentation and the teacher calling his name numerous times. It was only when they slapped a hand down on the desk that he was brought back to class with a wince. "Sorry," he whispered.

Username: Random Nobody 13
Student Name: Kanda
Original Story: Beauty and the Beast (Witch's Tale)
Story:
It was a dark and stormy night, the night that the witch stumbled across the castle. She had been traveling quite a distance to visit another kingdom for the birth of their daughter and the storm had caught her unaware. Soaking wet and looking quite unlike herself, she'd been delighted to stumble into the castle gates. The bright lights and cheerful music had given her hope that they wouldn't mind one more overnight visitor. She'd leave in the morning right after breakfast, even if the storm hadn't passed.
Legs aching from several days travel, she had gone up to the very front door of the palace and the countenance of the lord who had received her had forced her to rethink her plan. A kingdom with a lord such as this would quickly become a desolate place where the common folk were ignored when they weren't used. She'd put him to a test. If he would accept her as a guest when she had naught but a single rose to pay for it, then there might be hope yet. But if he didn't... well, then he would have to become as beastly outside as he was on the inside.
It broke her heart to have to curse the rest of the castle, but without his parents, they were the ones who had taught him to be this way. Even if they didn't mean to. All would be taught this lesson, and if all else failed, she'd find a way to get the right type of person to stumble across this forgotten place just as she had.

Student Name: Hikito Kanti
Original Story: Peter Pan
Story:
Peter Pan was marvelous. He loved to laugh and play with all the inhabitants of Neverland. He was a wonderful leader to the rest of the boys and Tinkerbell didn't see his fascination with the human world. Nevertheless she went with him on each trip he took. She had to, or else he might not have enough fairy dust to get back to Neverland. Most of the time he went just to have a look-see. But sometimes he wanted to bring someone back.
Or several someones in this case. Tinkerbell didn't like his fascination with this Wendy girl. He was supposed to just care about her and the rest of the fairies. The mermaids weren't anything to be worried of, and she couldn't do anything about the Chief's daughter, but she could refuse to help Wendy along.
But if it would make Peter think better of her. . . Tink sprinkled Wendy and the two other kids with the dust, and Peter taught them to fly. As soon as they made it back to Neverland Peter acted just the same as always. He just had a couple new Lost Boys to show around and pal around with. That wasn't so bad.
The moment it looked like he was falling for Wendy she got so mad that all she could see was red. The next thing she knew she'd been tucked away like some unwanted pet! Furious, it was enough to force her hand. She'd tell Captain Hook about his whereabouts and then Wendy would be gone.
Only. . .her plan misfired. Captain Hook captured HER and went off to get rid of Peter. For the longest time she was sure he'd succeeded, that she would never see Peter again. Hearing his crowing from inside her cage nearly had her in tears. Throwing herself off the shelf got her out of the cage and then she went to do her best to stop Captain Hook from hurting her Peter. She even didn't mind Wendy so much anymore.

Student Name: Tourmaline
Number Rolled: 16, Planet of the lobstars
Planet Description:
There were no inhabitants of this planet, aside from the giant monster which rode it. No plants, no people, no animals, just the lone lobstar, riding its' home til it could find another planet to warp. What had originally been a lush jungle world with bountiful plant based life had been slowly transformed when the monster had struck. The animals had been the first to go, consumed by the ravenous appetite of the lobstar. Plants had been slowly consumed as the lobstar slowly shed its' shell while it grew. The water had been absorbed by the remnants of the beast, fuel with which it grew. Bits of its' shell filled the land, melting to cover the entire surface in a fine layer of metal which grew thicker and thicker as the lobstar guided its' new home out of its place in the galaxy in the hopes of finding a new planet before it needed to feed again.
The lobstar had been known to consume many planets far and wide. The fact that they were a sparse race was a fact many were grateful for. Had they been able to reproduce easier or faster, they would have become an epidemic that none would survive. Should a lobstar be approaching your galaxy, hope that you can avoid the fate of those before you. Planets guided by the lobstar will make their way toward the lushest, the richest of planets. The impact with wipe out many, and the voracious appetite of the lobstar will take care of the rest. The beast is hard to kill, and harder to derail once its' decided on its prey.
Should you find a way past its' shell, the creature is rich with new minerals and ore. Occasionally seeds can be found, though they should be planted with care. You never know what they're going to grow into.

Student Name: Wesley
Number Rolled: 99, Deadly Sweets
Planet Description:
The poison is sweet. Bright, vivid plants, designed to both entice and warn about the contents of the plant life. The inhabitants of this world delight in tricking newcomers into consuming a bit of this, a piece of that. To consume anything of the world, for any who aren't born there, results in an addiction which is nearly impossible to resist. Any fruit grown there are the sweetest, most juicy and delectable of treats. The vegetables almost candylike in nature. Unfortunately with each bite more and more of the poison seeps into your veins. With the addiction pushing you to consume more than you should, and the poison slowly taking ahold of you, many die within a day of the first bite.
The inhabitants, a furred bipedal race with prehensile tails, call themselves "Apt." Their five eyes, four neatly arranged on their face and one somewhere along their tail, can't see many of the less vivid colors that nightmares can. Anything pastel or dull is easily overlooked so it's safest for those who aren't as vividly colored to visit. Not that there's much to do. The climate is mostly the same all throughout the land, chill enough for the candy-like vegetation to remain growing year round.
Most of the wildlife is smaller creatures which tend to not be as colorful as their landscape. There are few which eat the plants, but many hunt for their food. Other creatures or even the intelligent race are hunted by swarms of the small four-footed creatures. They appear to be the only thing that the Apt fear. They call them something that translates roughly to death swarm in nightmare.

Student Name: Kean
Original Story: Jumanji
Story: Kean tapped the pencil a few times on the desk, trying to think of a story to talk about from the other point of view. He didn’t read fairytales that much, so remembering a story where one of them had a clear villain, and not just a life lesson that someone had to learn, was a bit hard for him. And did it have to be a fairytale? That’s what it sounded like, but he wanted to do a different type of story. But there were just so many to choose from it was hard! That and TV shows nowadays seemed to have a bit more character development when it came to the villains, so it was easier to see why they did the things they did.
He sighed, looking at the blank sheet of paper in front of him. Well, if he had to write one, then he might as well do it from a well-known one, and it was a weird one, but one he decided he wanted to do nonetheless. Sure, it was a bit weird to do it after a board game, but he thought it was interesting!
“Jumanji wasn’t good, nor was it evil. It was believed to be a chaotic neutral item. One that didn’t care who had started it, only that it was to be finished. It was an object of unknown origin, though believed to be from a voodoo priest. Jumanji may have seemed like an evil board game, a curse that befell anyone who opened it. But Jumanji didn’t mean to curse anyone, it only wanted to be played and completed. That is what it was made to do. It was meant to be entertainment and for those to quit in the middle of it, to leave the game half-done, it was unfair. What if they never finished it? What if it was left in the same position forever? Jumanji only wanted to be played, it didn’t mean to hurt those who did so. It was supposed to be a way to entertain, much like the tales and stories that were told around the fires of old. It was supposed to bring the players into a different world, one in which felt real to be experienced. Players may have cursed it, they may have tried to destroy it, but was it really Jumanji’s fault? Jumanji just wanted to entertain! And that is what it would do. It was up to whomever found it however to start the game. They did have a choice in the matter, but Jumanji would make sure that it wouldn’t be left half-done.”
Kean shrugged at the couple of paragraphs that he had written. It was the best he could dome up with right now!

Student Name: Elliah
Number Rolled: 64, Deserted Planet
Planet Description:
Nothing grew in this wasteland planet. It was uncertain whether something happened to the plant life, or if there was never anything there to begin with, but all that was left when they found it was rock. The remnants of something lay still, dead for so long that they couldn't even figure out what it had been meant to be. The only thing they could determine was that it was large enough to consume a house whole and had some sort of tail. There was some slight evidence that it had died, perhaps from lack of food since there weren't any natural predators on the planet. Its body was being absorbed into the planet, which confused all the scientists studying the new world.
The climate was hot, sweltering even. A dry heat, the temperature kept most of the microscopic life living more than five feet under the surface of the world. They subsisted on minuscule particles of different elements they absorbed from the earth. They were the only 'living' things that were found on the planet, and the team searched high and low.
The lack of variety in climate or landscape lead the investigative team to determine that this was either a planet which was newly born, or one of the oldest that had been found yet. Tests with planting non-native seeds in the soil resulted in failure. The lack of water was a major factor, and the seeds were absorbed into the ground for they couldn't find any traces of them. Only the markings let them to know where they should have been.
