COULD THIS BE YOU?

(Dear god... I HOPE not... that face is creepy, dude!)

Well, Professor Panda is dead and gone.

Unfortunate, a tragic accident - call it whatever you will, the Order is now in need of a new spellcasting master... or mistress.





The Premise

Poor Lorika - she has the worst luck with men, doesn't she? One abusive, one unloving, one a maniac with a yellow chicken and now... one dead.

Well, in the days following Panda's presumed death - as the body, strangely enough, was never found, seemingly obliterated - she's going to have to overcome her grief and bottle her emotions up again in order to deal with the consequences. The situation needs fixing, authorities need notifying, and a new spellcasting professor must be found. After all, without guidance where would the young magicians be? (Uhh, wait... Panda never did much guiding, did he? Oh whatever, that's beside the point!)

In the time it takes for her to compose herself, surveillance is done of the blast site. It is discovered through that the explosion was caused indirectly, due to the ignition of flammable potions. It truly was just an accident after all... or so everyone now believes.

She sends word to Panda's old ministry, who in turn pass on the message to his parents. Then, in the days which follow, an unexpected message is received back. The ministry expresses their apologies, as Panda was known to be a slightly unstable, if true, genius. Rather than being angry for the removal of such a brilliant figure, they offer to send in a replacement!

With an incredible amount of gratitude, the Priestess readily accepts.




What You Must Do

Your task is simple. Create a new wizard character who can be sent by the ministry to fulfill Panda's place training the young cult magicians. You can be old or young, male or female, gay or straight, willing or unwilling, bubbly or boring - ANYTHING you want to be! It's all down to you.

Your backstory can equally be anything, as long as it fills the premise above - i.e, being a member of Panda's old wizarding ministry.

The most well-constructed, interesting character with a controller known to be proficient will be the winner.




What You Will Win

Your own mod character, of course! Your character will be created fully formed, with his or her own special class, a full inventory and special godly skills!

You will be expected to participate, of course, but let's face it - it's not TOO much work! All Panda ever did was sit grumpily in his room and occassionally go out and have arguments with his students or push people down holes! You just can't beat a relaxed job like that!

I won't create a form for this, but your submission must be PMED TO ME and include vital information such as NAME, AGE, RACE and MAGICAL SPECIALISATION. This, of course, comes on top of a character description.

Once your character has been chosen, we will then discuss possible class names and skills.




Entries must be submitted to me by June 11th.

GET PARTICIPATING!

Well, it turns out that the ministry didn't respond as quickly as they should have. Weeks pass, and the Order is still without an instructor. Driven to despair, the Order accepts help from the least desired source...

Cressa.

Yes, you heard me right. From the beginning of Chapter 2, Cressa will be the official spellcasting mod character.

However, as the ministry eventually gets round to replying to Lorika's letter, will her position remain unchallenged for long...? Will Cressa meet her match in one man and his falcon? We can only wait and see.



Thanks to everyone - Bapp, Meta, Fel - for your entries! Trust me, you guys are going to like the outcome of this. blaugh I know I'm pleased with it!

Awright! I'll be entering.
Would you allow a semi-technomancer into the mix?
