Number Rolled: 7- fey

Defining Trait:
Vanhi chewed on the pencil. Did she actually know any... her thought trailed off as she remembered ren. He was sort of tall for a fey or so she had heard but he was a good example/

‘Fey are winged people who are on the short side most of the time. They have a flower on their chest they need to take care of and make sure it gets the right kind of light. There are medications and spells now to keep them more healthy but the flower often indicates what type of fey they are. Some can be solar where they need daylight and some are called lunar. Solar fey tend to look like butterflies in their wing looks and lunar fey like months. Both types of fey have antenae on the top of their head that will wiggle to show their emotion. They also have white sclera but so do a lot of other races” hmm that should be enough. She had mentioned the flowers, the wings, and the antenae right? Yep.

Number Rolled: 6- baphomet

Courtship Time!: Huginn started at his number. He had been hoping to get Grimm or litch. Something he could help his siblings with when they started to fall in love however the spirt of the assignment was to understand other races better. However when he cracked open his book there wasn’t really much listed in the way of courtship for baphomets.

“There isn’t much written about baphomet courtship however what is written stats that a typical courtship includes gifts and acts of generosity towards not only the object of affection but their friends and family. It is to show they are committed and willing to belong to the family and community their possible future loved one belongs to. Unsurprisingly this leadds to baphomets being popular as love interests with other races.”

Huginn wrote. It seemed like even In their courtship being generous and hospitable was the main key. Hopefully this would be enough. He covered everything he could find.

Student Name: Oran

Number Rolled: 13- kumiho

Defining Trait: Oran always thought that the kumiho were gorgeous, and their fluff always looked so soft. So she was happy to get them for her assignment, never mind she always loved learning about new cultures. However she did frown when she got out the research books. There wasn’t much to work with but she wood pad it as much as she could.

‘Kumiho do not recognize a formal government structure. They govern their society through their villages which are all lead by that village’s respected heads and elders. The society is split into social castes, however one can move up the social ladder by marriage arrangements or through hard work. Family is the central feature of their culture and this shows in the government as well as government revolves around familial ties and respect. In fact villages are made up from a dozen or so averages and built around the larger estate of the elders in some cases’

Oran bit on the end of the pencil shuffling through books. She wasn’t sure if this would be enough but kumiho where a secretive race when they first came to below’s attention. Counting the wording again she added a few padding words to bring it up to what she needed. Researching cultures could be hard work.

Student Name: Jane

Number Rolled: 6. Baphomet

Courtship Time!: (RP Response) Baphomets...Jane wasn't too sure why she had to do research on their courting habits. Why, her heart was already set on someone that was a dryad. Nowhere was she like the race with hooves and a small bushy tail. Her love was tall strong and plant like. Completely different.

But maybe...she could get some ideas from another race. A way to get closer to Lilly. Her eyes scoured through the information. They liked to give gifts to...everyone? Well, those that they were close to. It was to show how much they cared for them. If that was the case, then did price matter? Or were baphomets more concerned about the person themselves. Strange, it didn't say. They were also popular as a romantic interest for many races. All because of their...gifting habits? Her brows scrunched up. Maybe she'd have to get Lilly some gifts. Would she like that?

There was only one way to find out.

Student Name: Liv

Number Rolled: 6. Baphomet

Defining Trait: (RP Response) Liv tapped her pen on the desk. The baphomet government, huh? She wasn't too great at politics and government. To her it was a lot of she said he said. There wasn't any fact. The slaugh wasn't about to turn down any assignment though. Her grades were too important for her to dismiss any assignment.

'The baphomet's use the Great Council for decision making when they think that it's absolutely necessary but they have their own government that they prefer to use. Baphomets were divided into three different parts--the Alycone (now disbanded due to the great 50 year war), the Bramblewood and the Moonspear. Each one has "Rexes", who used to be more influential before the 50 year war, but nonetheless they are still like their overall leaders. Then they have elders which choose to take care of the local affairs and are lesser in power compared to the rexes. Currently there has been uneasiness due to this loss, but they still have maintained their governing ways somehow.' It was all very...vague, and not specific. She would have liked to go into detail about both Brmblewood and the Moonspear to show how similar and different they were but for the life of her she couldn't find the information. This would have to do. She sighed and placed her pen down with a clatter. A shame.

Student Name: Niamh

Number Rolled: 15. Cherub

Courtship Time!:
Niamh's expression was one of disbelief. She had to write about how some random race courted potential partners? She was not expecting ANYONE to ever court her, nor was she planning on courting anyone... Who would want an awkward, overly tall weird girl with too many familiars like herself? She sighed in irritation, but stood up and went to get her slip of paper from the bag. She stared at it, and mumbled under her breath about how unlucky she was... She had to do the race that had different courtship rules, depending on the TYPE of Cherub it was.

She headed off the library and got to work on her research, then wrote up her paper, turning it in within a day... It was not like she had a lot of other things going on in her life to take up her free time.

"Solar Cherubs court with balls, using games and that old fashioned concept of a 'dance card' to try to indicate who they are interested in. It's an involved, drawn out affair, and they do not directly say who they are courting. They invite those they are interested in, however, to games like their Ribbon game, which involves blindfolds, and kisses, as well as a guessing game for the one who was kissed.

The Lunar cherubs, on the other hand, have no such games or events to handle. Instead, they are generally in arranged marriages, sometimes even before they are born. They do not seem to have much fondness for romance or passion, and indeed, they find it socially unacceptable to make public displays of affection."

Student Name: Caper

Number Rolled: 19 - Shade

Courtship Time!:

　 Caper sunk into his chair. He had been given Shades as his race to learn about. The Geist didn't know of any Shades, probably given they were Daydreams. Of course, he knew of them, but he had never interacted with one. For this assignment, he would need to greatly rely on his textbook.

The boy didn't get far into his book before something resonated inside of him. 'Is this describing Shades... or me?' he thought worryingly, sighing internally. He too had so many anxieties.

After reading the page fully, he began to write. He detailed their hesitance to court as best he could, careful to reword what the textbook said. Their courting often happened over a longer period, as they wanted to be careful of their own feelings. Shade hybrids also didn't seem the common, given how it emphasized how scared of other races they tended to be. Caper did his best to sum it all up in a respectful manner - Shades liked courting slowly and with serious intentions. Shades + Shades or Shades + Chomps make the best matches when it comes to courting!
