I would suggest Aidalis just because he's there. Ms. Silf might be helpful, but she may have more empathy for the students, not interested in grades. Afanen could as well, but she has not been intro'd yet.
I'd also suggest Kero or a magical familiar.
But those are all our teacher characters currently.
Also if we do report cards, it'd be awesome if members posted up some of that info. Hint-hint, I have no clue what star's power's are. OR we could just leave it up to the artists to assume based on observation and hope for the best.
Sample Eval: Name: Marron Shek'iah-Lux School: IMA Age: 23 Area of Study: Healing Strength: Weak Defense: Moderate Intelligence: High Cunning: Incredibly High Agility: High Speciality: Spiritual Healing Evaluation: Low Class Summary: No real fighting capabilities, relies heavily on team-mates, somewhat insightful, decent navigation skills, decent tracking skills, no motive to fight. Could be despensible. (Summary being the "observer's" thoughts on the character.)

I think if Silf did up cards she'd rate students on a more personal level rather than on the statistics. She'd know better why a student's grades are low and how a student responds to stress.
Also it could be that each teacher has to submit a certain number of candidates names. Like Ms.Silf chooses 3 as well as Aidalis. It might even be up to those teachers to intro the students to the tournament or train them for it.
Teachers unaware of the tournaments could be tricked into thinking they are choosing students for private advanced classes
Name: Tydaris Syndication School: IMA Age: 20 Area of Study: varied- reverse healing, combat, summoning and water magic Strength: competitive athlete Defense: good Intelligence: Adverage (debatable) Cunning: relatively high under pressure, Low when not Agility: high Speciality: Water magic and combat Evaluation: High potential Summary: trained combatant , able to work alone or in teams. Demonstrated skills in organized combat. Prone to lapses in judgement when not focused on specific task.

Yeah, I was pretty much thinking magical familar and Kero when I was thinking of the spy. XD Plus Aidalis. I wasn't sure if Ms Silf would be a good evaluator since I knew she wouldn't evaluate people based on skill. I like the idea that she has no idea about the tourneys and thinks the recommendations would be for an advanced class of students. The other teachers would be evaluating another group of students at the same time (off screen). So Ms Silf and Aidalis might be evaluating a certain quadrant of students. What this means is that there are two teachers per quadrant, and each teacher rates all the students and lists them from strongest to weakess candidate. Meanwhile, Kero is multi-tasking and observing all students (with more than one familiar).
Name: Sylphi Valentine School: IMA Age: 21 Area of Study: Ranged Weapons, Healing Strength: Strong Defense: Weak Intelligence: High Cunning: High Agility: High Speciality: Magical arrows Evaluation: High Class Summary: Strong fighter when using guerrilla tactics, but not when in close combat. Potential healer whose skills are currently untapped. Does not work well with others unless there's something in it for her.

I hope our current artists read this stuff. ^^ If not well, it's here for the next round. ._. I hate to bug artists but well, this is an important thread and everyone needs to participate in it for things to be fair. Grrr...I hate being a task-master... (Lucius: Don't lie...you love it!) (Mod: Shush you!)
Eval: Name: Angelo Bonafedi School: OTI Age: 24 Area of Study: Emergency Surgery/Avanced Medicine Strength: Strong Defense: Moderate-Low Intelligence: Very High Cunning: Very High Agility: Moderate-High Specality: Hand-to-Hand combat/Survialist Eval: Mild Potential...needs further observations Summary: Easily confined by rules of combat, will not attack aggressively, shows elements of "street smarts", adaptable to many situations, strong stratedgy, commands respect and trust from team-mates, some leadership qualities.
<btw, I'll need to update cast page with proper ages. XD I had to guess on a couple.>

You guys are lucky I check back here everyday. xD Ember keeps forgetting. Go ahead and post the results for all of your characters, because even though everyone won't be introduced, they might pop up in the evaluation pages.
NPCs don't count.
Oh and Mod? Could you update Aelmon's age to 19 and Glade's age to 20 please? I had lowered them because at first I wasn't sure what sort of school we were making, but now that I know what we've done, I'm putting them back to their original ages.
...Glade is still much older than that, though. xD

Most the NPCs are teachers anyways. ;D
Let's see...I've posted up all of my characters evals, so has bb, and azzy. Shiroi, mischa and James still have to post up results.
If they don't post take a guess based on the character profiles in the forum and azzy's pages.
Or PM/Email the artist and ask for info. It's not illegal. Making pages isn't like making a secret santa.
And hurry up with Aelmon's color refs!

We need to break down the cast. I think soon our characters will develop into cliques so to speak. This should make it easier for artists to focus on a clique of 2 or 3 characters instead of stretching to include all 14 or 16 characters. As a bit of advice, pick only a few characters to focus on at a time. I know for these first run of pages, it's important that we meet everyone and get a vague idea of who they are. So the pages chuck full of cast will have to continue for a bit.
Some of the natural cliques I see happening are as follows: Joy, Slyphi, Angelo (The Hunger Force. XD) Marron, Miria, Joy/Syphi (Magical Females/Study Group) Marron, Joy, Angelo (Study buddies) Aelmon, Star, Tyde, Kai (The Metrosexuals) Kai, Angelo (The only 2 Techs) Aelmon, Star (The new Roomates) Slyphi, Joy (The Old Roomates) Slyphi, Angelo (The lovers) XD (Angelo: >_> You are so vile!) (Mod: This is a joke). (We'll call them the "Old Couple" instead since they argue like one). (Angelo: That's even worse!) >>This is where Mod goes off topic<< Marron, Lucius (Wedded Bliss/Baby Factory) (Marron: I will kill you.) Marron, DD (Secret Lovers) (Mod: Don't kill me! It was bb's idea. I swear!) (DD: ._. And here I thought it would work out.) (Marron: I am unhappy with my current husband). (DD: ^___^ That's easily resolved. I have assassins.) (Lucius: Oh F*** I'm toast). (DD: French Toast) (Lucius: AUGH! The worse kind.) (Marron: But I like French Toast) (DD: Wait wait! I thought we agreed to the whole killing Lucius thing.) (Angelo: *sits on Marron's shoulder* You know this is wrong). (Marron: *collapses* You're...too...FAT...to be...my...shoulder...angel.) (Angelo: I'm not fat.) (Marron: GET OFF!) (Mod...okay...somewhere I got off topic.) >>Back on Topic<<
You aren't LIMITED to these groups. This is just what I noticed according to the pages. Anything else people want to add?

I think Tyde could fit into a lot of cliques, or accidentally stumble into one and get beat up Tyde: hehe Goths! Silf: I think your the polar opposite of a 'goth' <_< Tyde's italian apparently. Syndicatio ! Tyde: B-but! It's Syndication and I'm siren not Italian. What's Italian? Naria: It's a nationality, remember that place we visited with lots of garlic? Tyde: oh! the place with the weird pizza? Silf: Italy, the place was Italy. Tyde: Really I thought it was Italian?

Later on in the story I also would like Jaes to join the study group (he needs some serious tutoring), it's actually his first year of school.

Heh heh, these actually aren't official groups or anything. The "Study Buddies" tag only means that they are the most studious of the bunch. They don't actually study together as a group activity.
There are many possibilities too. Many characters are rather flexible due to personality. But someone like Tyde might become a problem/annoyance for say the Study Buddies, who like quiet study time over learning physical moves. Or Aelmon may feel awkward hanging out with The 2 Techies since Techies work is "serious" and structured which opposes his Aelmon's flamboyant personality. It's much easier to form conflicts between characters if they are associated with a cliquish type thing.
Angelo: I am so a stallion...because I haven't been gelded...yet. ;D Mod: Oh lord...you stop now. You're being ridiculous.

PLOT POINT!!
Okay,we are coming to the end of the first chapter. To start off the next chapter with a BANG, the first chapter will end with the students being restricted to their dorms due to a mysterious murder. (Think Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. >_> If you have read the book/seen the movie). Anyway, that is what we are planning so far. It should give the next batch of artists something to chew on.
We don't know WHO has been killed, but Ms. Silf will be the one who discovered the body and ordered for the lockdown. Also to make it clear, the identity of the dead student is anonymous, it is not one of the characters in the main group. (Like we didn't kill Aelmon or Starburst who are no longer involved.)

Who's who of dorm living:
Two characters per room max, unless there are extrenuating circumstances.
The dorms are NOT co-ed. Realistically that would just be wierd (with the exception of Marron and Lucius because they're married.)
So far, we know that the following characters are roommates: Joy and Sylphi Marron and Lucius (married)
and ... that's it XD
Here's my arbitrary list of roomies: 1. Angelo and new character 2. Tyde and Kai 3. Miria and new character
Since we're substracted two characters it would be fitting to add new characters. Since Munk Art is the newest member, he will be allowed to add one character. In all fairness, since myself, Modesty and azalea already have two character each in the story, we shouldn't be allowed to add more characters unless no one else really wants to add more. James and shiroikami only have one character each. I know James has a certain idea for Jaes ... but could we add him in the next chapter, as Angelo's new roomate.
If Jaes is indeed added as a new character, Munk Art's new character will need to be female so as to be a roommate for Miria. Thankfully, you guys know each other, so that shouldn't be too hard to sort out. ^_^

Good call. Forgot about roomies. ^^;
For dorms it would probably matter what school they're in unless that rule got thrown out with the merger.
I was thinking that Kai and Angelo would room together since they both go to the same school and Angelo has sorta been put in charge of him. (If that's cool with mischa).
I suppose we could also have singles rooms where the character doesn't have a roomate and dodge having to come up with roomates for everyone.
