~Welcome and Instructions~

[Ebilest Hamster]

Walking into the men's dormitory wing, your first impression is of somber antiquity. The seemingly old halls are built of the same strong iron that forms the rest of the impregnable Academy, but here the cold metal is covered with the warmth of aged hardwood and thick green carpeting. Your feet sink into the pile of the luxurious flooring as you walk between low pedestals, each crowned with the bust of a famous man of history. There is a faint smell in the air of pipe smoke and stale socks - an incongruous combination. You see an ornate brass plate affixed to a wall just inside the doorway to Nunn Hall. Inscribed in a curling hand, it reads

In fond memory of Joshua Nunn, a titan among men and a giant at heart.

Continuing on, the somberness is soon broken by the occasional yelp or discarded book. Although a grave and elegant home for the young men of Aura Academy, an air of casual hominess fills the halls, allowing relaxation and comfort. The warmth of a flickering fire in the center common area lights the room - the edges of the common are lined with low couches and wood tables, giving the students a place to rest and socialize. A single oddity mars the features of the room - a mighty axe is sunken deep into the stone forming the fireplace, so deeply buried in the ancient rock that it is immobile. The ornately carved mantle rests upon a stone support on one side, with the other supported by the upthrust haft of the great axe.

~Instructions~

The instructions for this forum are simple - these are your rooms. In order to establish your character in a room, simply post a new thread labeled:

Room XXX - Name

The first number indicates the floor (only three floors as yet), the others indicate your room number. The room and its assignment will be posted here once your thread is approved.

This thread gives your character a place to stay - no one is to post until at least five posts have been reserved by the person that started the thread for later editing. I would like to see at least one of these containing the description of the room - pictures are accepted in addition to a written description, but don't be lazy - I would also like to see a written description. This is your character's home - people may come in if invited, and interact with your character here. The commons room is for everyone to interact in, whereas the individual bedrooms are moderated by their owners and are for individuals and their guests. There are a few things to note:

1) I do watch these. Follow the rules.
2) Don't barge in uninvited. People's rooms are people's rooms.
3) Please, as in everywhere else, post the following if your character's current location (outside of the official RP thread, which happens in alternate timeframe):
