AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Ilztmyr'ree Kenett
Pronuciation guide: Ill-its-meer-ree Keh-net
Nicknames: Myr
Gender: male
Age: 13

Faction/Race Reaper; Warlock

Personality: You know the saying "Know when to hold them, know when to fold them"? Myr doesn't. He will not even consider the fact that something is a lost cause. The only reason he'll stop doing something that he is clearly failing at is if someone carefully redirects his attention without making it obvious that his failure is getting to be physically painful for others to watch. Outwardly, he attempts to portray the idea that he has enough self confidence despite all his failings, wanting others to believe that he will be able to do anything if he tries hard enough, but there's absolutely nothing to back it up with. He can and will fail at just about everything he sets his mind to. And, quite honestly, he probably wouldn't know what to do with himself if he actually succeeded at something.

Because of all his failures however, Myr has developed something of an inferiority complex over the years from his endeavors constantly and spectacularly exploding in his face. He tries to combat it by pretending that it doesn't bother him, but if one pays enough attention they'll notice how desperate he is to do something right and be admired for it rather than just get a few odd looks and a smile or two when he walks in the room.

Surprisingly enough, considering that everything tends to go wrong around him, Myr is happily optimistic and can typically be found with a smile on his face. In his opinion, since stuff is going to go wrong anyway, there's no reason for him to get all upset about it.

He's not really the type of person to be a leader, at least at the moment, preferring to just be another member of the crowd. At least this way, if he fails too badly, the only person that he really affects is himself. He doesn't really dislike anyone, as long as they tolerate him, but he doesn't really know how to get close to people. He's been pushed away so much that he's just used to people not wanting to be close to him.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
At home, it is obvious that Myr isn't what his parents wanted, especially compared to his older brother and sister, even with his ability to do magic that his parents had been ecstatic to learn that he had. However, when they discovered that he couldn't do anything right, their enthusiasm about his powers quickly dwindled.

His grandmother, though, recognized his power for what it was, and suggested to him that he should apply to the academy. Myr was more than happy to do so, trusting in his family to know what would be good for him. He does hope that maybe being at the Academy will help him to not be so much of a failure, or, if that fails, let him at least learn how to do it in style.

He's mostly interested in the magic classes, and the clubs, although he doesn't know if anyone will let him join once they realize that he's the reason that things are going wrong.

FEAR:Aura of failure: Things just don't work right around Myr; candles go out, homework goes missing, eye-pods randomly skip songs, things like that; nothing that can't be blamed on coincidence at least at first. It's mostly concentrated on him at this level, though when he concentrates, he can occasionally cause it to effect others.

In battle, this will mean that, at least for his first year, that he will be able to cause one of his opponents attacks to mess up, whether that's by it missing or otherwise- up to other player how-. It only works once per battle, and only has a 10% chance that Myr can use it successfully.

Familiar:Being a warlock, Myr was expected, by his family, to have a familiar suitable to the position; possibly a snake, bat, or even a spider. Instead, he summoned Sneak, the black footed ferret. He was certainly not what Myr was expecting, but Sneak was his, and he wouldn't trade him away for anything, even if it did mean gaining a familiar that would please his family more.

Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Silver; Innocent looking
Hair Colour/Style: Guy's Tiny Tail Blue (light)
Skin Colour: Blue-grey
Clothing Style/Colours: White witch hat-has a blue band and a skull pinned to it-, button-up white shirt with gray pinstripes, gray trouser pants, blue tennis shoes
Extra: Elf ears, ferret familiar perched on hat.

Crit~

To start with: I love love love Myr's personality. ;~; He, is, ADORABLE! He seems like a really fun character, and I bet he'd be a blast to play with!

I'm not sure about the part where you call him a "dark elf warlock", though. To my understanding, a Reaper is a species unto itself; he can be a Reaper or he can be an elf, but he can't be both at the same time. You might want to run this by the Q&A thread, though, just to be sure. I doubt there would be any problems with his appearance being based off of a dark elf, but if other things were to pop up in RP, that might not fit with the world's setting.

Also, regarding his personality: A lot of what you've written is focused on just a few aspects, being his determination to succeed, his inferiority, and his optimism. These are all good things to include and give a good view of his character, but it's also a bit limited in that there's so much more of his personality that isn't referenced. For example: How does he view the other species? What does he look for in potential friends? Is he someone that tends to go for leadership positions, or is he too timid?

I'm a bit uncertain as well about a contradiction you made in his personality. At one point, you tell us that he "appears to have enough self confidence" that he will be able to "do anything"; in the paragraph after, you say that he has "an inferiority complex" because things never go right, suggesting that he doesn't have that sort of confidence, but is driven through a desperation to prove himself. It might be worth combining these two thoughts (i.e., "he appears to have confidence; however"), so that it is clearer to the reader.

Anyway, he looks like a really neat character, and I wish you luck with him. I hope my crit helped! <3

Thank you for that. Your crit was very helpful.

I think i've fixed the contradiction, and I'm working on how he reacts to other people.

It looks like this.

it doesn't have to be exact, but I'd like it to be in that sort of style.

"Oh hey, is that student a relative of yours?"

"Shut up."

"You have the same hair colour and all, oh my goodness, even the coat and-"

"- Oh for crying out loud, just be quiet for a second please." Someone had thought it was funny to jinx Arel's Shredder, so that now the animate object not only ripped paper happily but commented as it was being fed. The secretary dangled the paper, titled "Application Iltzmyr'ree Kenett" over the Shredder. "Just eat the damned application form already, I still have around twenty more to go."

The Shredder paused. "I don't think I like your attitude now, after all that work I do for you, and not even a 'thank you'. Where is my appreciation?"

Arel groaned and massaged his forehead. This was going to be a long week, and the file of suddenly accepted students was only growing larger.
