Skye Starrfyre You can take all of the time you need! I'm here whenever you're ready with a last name and school. Is there any info I can help you with in regards to the schools that might help you pick one? Everything you've got up is looking great and I think we just need those two last things before I can drop a trial stamp! I know there is some information on schools on the main thread but is there any in the guild? Plus what each of the uniforms look like

I believe the information that's on the front page is what we have available in regards to the schools with the exception of Romano's, but I'll copy the information on the highschools here to make it easier to access for discussion. Meadowview High School Meadowview High School is the main local secondary school for girls and boys. It's a public school, set in a fenced enclosure within the city limits. Although the school maintains high standards (well, as high standards as it can) graffiti is a problem and it's difficult to impress on the merits of its beautiful campus (it's not beautiful at all). However, Meadowview prides itself on school spirit, academics and sports, and maintains a rivalry that edges over to unfriendly with the Crystal Academy and friendly with Hillworth Grammar School. Rules are softened at Meadowview and the students allowed to express themselves more in terms of dress and how they wear the uniform, and even better -- it's co-ed! Girl's Uniform - the top, skirt and shoes are standard, the accessories are hers Crystal Academy for Girls Just outside of Destiny City's borders is Crystal Academy for Girls, formerly known as Crystal Academy for Young Ladies of Quality. Crystal's is a rich private school that focuses on deportment, manners, and the less purely academic qualities that other schools may do, though it has excellent art, dance and drama programs that sometimes see not-so-monied young women enter its hallowed halls through a scholarship. Don't let these gentle young ladies fool you, however. The school has rigorous academic standards that are on-par with the best college preparatory schools in the country! There is enough snobbery in the Crystal Academy's ranks that sees a rivalry pop up between it and Meadowview, especially in sports matches, which Crystal's is notoriously bad at excepting in equestrian, lacrosse, swimming and tennis. 'Rougher' sports see the snotty school do poorly. Many of the Crystals girls board at the school, though some 'day girls' choose to live locally with their families. UniformHorizon Institute For Science & Technology Close to the main campus of Destiny City University, a new state-of-the-art school has been built: Horizon Institute for Technology and Science (HITS). It is the product of a new DC-wide initiative for greater focus on STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math – in the public school systems. Using money from a generous government grant, the school was constructed with massive science laboratories, computer labs with every possible gadget and software, and even large multi-story classrooms for engineering projects ranging from building small robots to constructing transformers. The school is also home to the National High Magnetic Field Lab – a role that it shares with the neighboring university. As a charter school, HITS accepts scholars through a lottery system, but is said to allow transfer students with extenuating circumstances off the books. Scholars at Horizon Institute do not live on-campus, but the school is open 24-hours to allow for round the clock researching. The school serves students from grades seven through twelve. It also has a bridge program where graduates can earn an Associate’s Degree up until age twenty. However, much of the staff at HITS is comprised of exemplary college students from DCU, visiting professors, professionals in STEM fields, and various teaching and research assistants. The mission of Horizon Institute is to be a “haven for scientific minds of all ages, shapes, and sizes.” Girl's UniformSt Magdalena's Seminary Like every city, there are a few schools that have a religious bent, but none are so dedicated to the enrichment of troubled young women as St Magdalena’s Seminary. A secondary school located on the fringes of downtown, it’s adjoined to one of the oldest Catholic cathedrals in the city. The entire campus is ringed with rather sharp-looking wrought-iron fences that forebodingly protect its hallowed Gothic-styled buildings. The school is touted as a reform school for girls with behavioral problems, though it’s rumored that there are a few girls in there that have actual criminal records. For the most part, though, Magdalena’s is considered the place to head those sorts of problems off before they begin! Its academic standards are about on-par with Meadowview’s, with a primary focus on general education and a secondary on helping individual students work out any psychological issues they may have. This often translates into a “therapy through work” philosophy, and indeed a chunk of each day is given over to domestic chores. It can go from easy things -- such as making sure the cathedral is set for the next mass or helping to clean a classroom or two -- to punishments such as doing dishes or even being tasked to serve meals to classmates. They haven’t really got the grounds or room for any real sports teams, though one of the few they do have is a championship volleyball team. Their chamber choir has been butting heads with Meadowview’s chorus for quite some time now, taking their share of championships. UniformThe information on Romano's Constitutional Haven can be found here, which also includes uniform samples. Given the way you've got Mirana set up, I think the schools that would offer you the most freedom in playing her would be Meadowview or HITS. If she were to attend Meadowview she'd have access to her tea gardens at home and wouldn't have to worry about finding somewhere to brew a cup as she might were she in Crystal, St Mags or Romano's. Were she to attend HITS she could apply SCIENCE to the growing of her tea leaves and herbs. She could try to cultivate new things as she works with the plants in her greenhouse-- once she saves up for it, of course! She might even be able to breed her very own new flower!

Skye Starrfyre Alright! It looks like we're definitely heading in the right direction now, so let's just do a little bit more fine-tuning and then I think you'll be set once you've got a last name and a school picked out! Here are some suggestions for how we can expand on the attacks that you've currently got to make sure that they fall in line with shop standards for senshi magic: Sailor Scout Attack: Curiousity! • Saying her attack Marchare closes her eyes and taps the front of her tiara with her pointer finger, she then flicks that finger towards her target to cast the magic •The target becomes overwhelmed by a sense of curiosity about an object/concept other than Marchare and forgets what they were previously engaged in I would recommend this attack being active for 20 seconds per use with a max of 3 uses. Super Scout Attack: Curiouser and Curiouser! • Saying her attack Marchare closes her eyes and taps the front of her tiara with two fingers, she then kisses them before flicking them towards her target to cast the magic •The target becomes overwhelmed by a sense of curiosity about an object/concept other than Marchare and forgets what they were previously engaged in, to the point where they legitimately cannot be shaken out of it - this is an upgraded version of her basic attack I would recommend this attack being active for 30 seconds per use with a max of 2 uses. Eternal Sailor Attack: DRINK OF ME If you were to change: "Marchare says her attack and a small drink appear near the target. They suddenly have the curious urge to drink from it." To: Marchare says her attack, touches her tiara with two fingers and flicks the magic towards her target causing a small drink appear near the target. The target suddenly has a curious and undeniable urge to drink from it. Eternal attacks generally have a single use and can typically last between 35-45 seconds. I know that seems like a lot, but I think the changes noted above will make the attacks a lot more useful for you and Marchare in a battle situation while still sticking with the sphere and coming off as a bit more playful in an Alice in Wonderland theme. You're doing great and we're almost there! Quote me whenever you're ready. Thank you for your help. I found a last name and picked a school

Fantastic! Atwood is an available last name, and I think she'll do wonderfully at HITS! Here's a trial stamp for you. One of the GMs will be by to confirm!

This looks good to me! I have only one small crit--for her eternal attack, rather than saying it lasts for '30-45 seconds', just go ahead and say 45 seconds! That is a pretty standard time for an eternal senshi's magic to last, and it's always better to have a concrete duration! You don't need to do anything within this quest, but when you are setting up her journal, please just keep that in mind! Have fun!
