JACK: The initiate wears a fully black leather suit, zipped up the middle with thicker padding on the thighs, chest, and forearms. On his hands, he wears finger-less gloves, metal spikes jutting from the knuckles emitting a fading energy. In terms of physicality, he has a decent head on your height with a mass of muscles that does not quite match his rather medium-pitch voice. His brown hair is buzz cut on the sides with the top left slightly longer, a rough beard going from ear to ear. He firmly shakes your hand, a friendly smile crossing his face "Nice to meet ya, Drake. Don't worry, whatever you seek is inside." he half-laughs turning his attention ahead "We don't see anyone quite like yourself at this school often, with the wars and all. I wish we did though, there is much we don't know still." He shrugs lightly, his muscles convulsing with the movement "You'll enjoy it hear, plenty to learn and even more to do. It's a very...hands on type of school."

Eliakith: Jayrl nods understandingly, his eyes catching the rune "Of course, I will escort you there personally. Once there you can discuss with admissions what you wish to learn, granted you will need to take basics courses as well." he mentions before turning his back to you, a small wave of his arm motioning you to follow. He points towards an octagonal building to your left as you walk by "That is the Runic Studies building, a lot of dangerous research occurs in the lower levels of that place." as he says this, a pulse seems to run along the building's walls revealing large runes surrounded by several smaller ones all interconnected and in different languages. "Any questions you have before we get to admissions?" Jaryl asks, turning his head slightly back to you.

"Trust me, I'm used to "not being seen". Well I won't be much help when it comes to history. My mother decided that the less I knew the less of a burden I had to bare. Though it is something that has interested me..." I say as I smoke the cigarette, returning my hands to their relaxed position behind my head.

"Negative. Let us get straight to admissions. I'm anxious to join." I say to him, as I eye the building for any runes in my own language.

Name- Akihito Kanbara
Age- 16
Gender- Male
Race- Half-Youmu (Half-type of Demon/Daemon)

Bio: He is a Half-Youmu and has the ability to instantly heal from his wounds effectively making him Immortal. Unlike most people, he is mostly familiar with the affairs of Spirit World Warriors(Youmu hunters, SWW) and Youmu. Akihito was born as a half-Youmu from a human mother(a SWW) and supposedly immortal Youmu father. During his childhood, he was involved in an accident but survived unscathed. As a result, people fear him and isolate him. Nothing else much is known about his past. When severely injured, Akihito's youmu side takes over, causing him to transform into a feral creature. His eyes becomes all black with a multi-color iris and his hair remains blonde only with green highlights at the end. He is also mysteriously surrounded by green energy. When in this state He can create fire at will that can easily penetrate strong force fields and cause destruction within a mile radius. Otherwise he has a fairly low affinity of Magic.

Personality: Akihito is a very playful, friendly, somewhat sarcastic yet sincere person, who likes glasses very much, including "bespectacled beauties" or girls who wear glasses.

Appearance:

(May I?)

Red: The elderly man takes a deep breath, as if it was the first inhale of fresh air he had in a toxic air filled room. Gradually, he rises to a standing position once more with more posture however his hand still holds his side while the other rests at his side. Light breaking through the tree line finally reveals the entirety of his facial features. His forehead is heavily wrinkled, a harsh scar close to his eyes which appears to stretch farther along his head. White hair is semi-kempt in loose bands "I am most..thankful your assistance young one." His eyes look saddened, a sense of lost present in the distant stare "Excuse me but I....very exhausted. I have nothing to give you in return for your...services...." he seems distraught but slowly he appears to remember something. Slowly he reaches into his cloak, a very formal envelope with a red wax seal and holds it out for you to take "You seem adept in magic...this is a invitation to hone those skills as my appreciation."

JACK: He chuckles lightly in response, a knowing smile on his face "That is what this school is here for, to retrace and discover what makes us who we are." He says care-free, his eyes focused ahead at large gate the group was approaching "Well, it looks as though time has come for your welcoming ceremony. Contact me if you need something, I have a feeling we will be seeing each other often." he wryly smiles before heading off down a street, fast enough to avoid letting you get another word in as the large gate doors swing wide revealing chairs in several rows facing a large stage. It seems temporary and you notice several individuals who must be either heads of staff or teachers here.

Eliakith: He lets out a short burst of laughter "Glad to hear you are so eager." he says friendly, as he leads you towards dark brown double doors. You manage to catch a few runes in your native tongue such as 'Protection', 'Insight', and 'Detection' but one particular uses similar letters but is unreadable. Jaryl opens the door for you, inside the building lies a lobby with the school's insignia in the center of the floor as well as a desk where a lady in a silver robe with ruby red hair sits, writing various notes on paper not even hearing the two of you enter " Miss Valendel? I have a prospect here." he says loud enough that she practically jumps out of her seat "Jaryl! What?...oh a new student, huh?" she looks at your for a moment, alright come sit down and tell me about yourself." she adjusts the square-rim slim glasses on her nose.

(Welcome Silver)
Silver: You hear a loud knocking at the front door of your house, you had got a letter from a school by the name of Alder-Kast. A family friend from the school agreed to take you there when the time arrived and it seemed to come faster than expected. Your hear your mother opening the door and pleasantries are exchanged and a rather young-girl steps in your living room "So is Akihito here?" she asks in a friendly manner, to which your mother replies "Yes, I believe he is here somewhere..."

I look toward where he's run off to thinking, Fair enough, seems like a nice chap. Looking through the door I move with the crowd taking the first seat I come across, continuing to smoke.

Stepping into view from where I am I smile and say "Hello." extending a hand to shake.
(Does she have glasses?) (Do i know her?)

I thank the man, then I look at the envelope and read it.

"I am Eliakith, decendent of Altea. I am adept at rune magic, although I was quite behind for the... average of my race. After three years of no impressive improvement in my rune skill, I was to be killed. My father, Altea, took my place. I left my home at the age of 11, in shame of being a failure, when I learned that I had been in the wrong environment my whole life. I... explored: both the world and rune magic. After four years, I became skilled enough to make my own runes of understanding, at which point I learned of, and came here. I seek to... improve my skills with runes here, unless I am not eligible." I monologue. "Also," I request," I would appreciate a better rune of understanding then the one I have on now."

JACK: The group of prospects gradually sit in their own friend groups, and naturally there a few seats left around you. However as seats become scarce, people move closer. Finally, the last two seats by you are taken, on your left is a boy in a patch-work cloth tunic with a hand-made leather cap, light blue hair poking up from the edges. He sits with his head lowered, his hands clenched together with thumbs rubbing against one another. In direct contrast, a girl dressed in a green long silk dress sits on your right with fiery orange eyes. Her posture is very formal, her brown hair falling just past her shoulder blades. She appears to look around for a little while before turning towards you as if just noticing the smell of your cigarette "Do you mind?" she coughs in the cutest voice as a bit of smoke blows her way. Just as she says this, a man dressed in a intricate white robe with gold accents and a red hood steps onto the stage accompanied by what appears to be senior-staff.

Silver: You recognize her as you enter the room, her name is Kalissa Nagomi and she was your neighbor when you first moved into the house you currently live in. While she is about your age, she was accepted early into the Alder-Kast school. Her skin is a milky color and she is actually kinda of short standing only at 5'5'', currently wearing a simple red dress that extends a little above her knees with a long black cape with a golden fringe at the bottom with a half-cloak over it forming a tiered piece. She smiles warmly as she sees you, adjusting her silver square-framed glasses through which her caramel-colored eyes glisten. Her light blonde hair tied-up in a bun as she daintily shakes your hand "It's good to see you again, you certainly grew.." she happily says with a small laugh "It's going to be great having you at school!" she says excitedly, your mother simply smiling with her arms crossed obviously holding back some tears of joy.
(It's up to you how close you were as children, you could be best friends or just very friendly neighbors)

Red: You open the letter, the elder gentleman standing by watching as you read it. As you scan the letter, you see it is a invitation to study magic at the Alder-Kast School of Magical Resarch, one of the most renowned schools for the arcane arts. It is clear that the man is an employee of the school, perhaps a teacher or some other faculty member. The old man smiles weakly as he sees you read it "Well? What do...you think?" he asks coughing mid-sentence. The School is a good distance away, at least a day's worth of traveling and it is approaching mid-day as the streams of light breaking through the tree-line indicate. He seems reluctant to mention anything about his injuries, seeming to avoid the subject altogether.

Eliakith: Vandel starts off by writing your information on a form she had just taken from her desk, but manages to pay close attention, sympathy present on her face as you finish your story and her hand finishes writing it all down "Well Eliakith, we do not usually take random strangers but I believe you have a fair chance of being accepted. Your application will have to get approved by the board but I doubt they will deny it. As for the rune...." she slides out a cabinet and takes out a small piece of paper, writing down the request and signing her name "Take this to the Rune Development building and the staff there will get you one." she says with a pleasant smile.

"It is great to see you as well Kalissa" I say smiling "You look great." My Bespectacled Beauty I think, with a slight blush rising to my cheeks. "Yes, School..." So people can be protected from me... I think bitterly about when my Youmu side comes out.
(We have been good friends as she was one of the only I had, given my immortality. Akihito has developed a sort of crush on her)

"Not a problem." I say taking the half finished cigarette, pinching the flame I placing the rest of it in my box.

"Thank you for sending that in, and giving me this... Prescription. How soon can I expect to know whether or not I got in?"
