Ceasar walks behind their guide with confident stride, albeit, his gaze does linger as he looks about the campus. This was the place he would be spending his time and where his own parents met and studied to become what they were today. It was the beginning of his future....he couldn't fail.
When the Dean addresses the room, he makes sure to gather himself and focus in on what's to come.
After all the weirdness a test felt welcome. Asher felt the most comfortable all of today sitting down to take that test.
asher blazed through it walking to the front of the class with confidence and poise, he set the test down and returned to his seat. He spent the rest of the time looking over his scalie skin
As you open up the exam booklet, you see a series of questions.. At first these questions seem to be irrelevant questions that no body would be capable of answering unless they knew exactly what they needed to study for:
What is the weight of the Sun at the center of our solar system?
At what point does multiple grains of sand become a pile of sand?
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
etc.
However after a moment of reading the questions, the letters and words in the test shift and change. The pages become blank and all you see if one line of wording:
On the back of this booklet you will find a needle, prick your fore-finger and leave a thumb print at the bottom of this page. Once done, hand the booklet in and return to your seat.
As you all hand in your exams, you realize that some students are taking a very long time to finish this test. It dawns on you that the test did not change for all the students... You see some students with a very confused look on their faces, as if saying "what kind of questions are these?"
Dean addresses the test takers: "Time's up! Pencils down." He says this as he stands up for the first time since you've arrived. The dean is well dressed in a suit, and supports himself on a cane when standing but walk rather confidently without the use of it.
"As I call your name, please make your way to the room directly across the main entrance of the auditorium..."
"Isabel Stevenson, Cesar S. Dracula, Asher, Tellier Marovisk, Cassandra Ash, Kraft..."
The dean goes on listing the names of students to follow you all to the other room.
Isabel is about to be unnerved by her own changes when suddenly there is a test and announcements and in the confusion she just follows along while trying to get a feel for what exactly is happening. Based on what she is seeing she wonders if there was maybe a couple hundred hits of acid on that envelope...but so far the trip seemed pretty nice. Thus despite her nervousness she approaches when called and walks to the indicated room.
Those looking will finally notice the 5'2" tall dark elf with an undercut hairstyle, like Gwen from into the spiderverse, and whose stark white hair contrasts immensely with her charcoal black skin. Her face is beautiful with full lips, high cheekbones, and with a pair of amethyst colored eyes. Her figure is fairly slender although her well proportioned curves help prevent anyone for mistaking her for a child despite her smaller size. Her clothes look rather worn with a purple plaid button up covering a black tank-top, ripped and faded jeans, and some converse shoes.
You walk across the hall and into a smaller room, presumably a lecture hall. The lecture hall has amphitheater seating, about 12 rows until it reached the bottom where a desk with a large white board is located. The whiteboard is lifted halfway up on rails revealing a chalk board behind it. You can partially see symbols and drawings on the chalk board behind the whiteboard. Seated on top of the desk swinging his legs is the student that led you to the auditorium.
You will have a few moments in this room, you all (the party) recognize each other as you've all arrived around the same time and were led to the auditorium together by the student together. (Feel free to RP in this location. Maybe introduce yourselves to each other if you see fit?).
Scores are fine. Really, the only that matters to me is that your scores aren't too far below the 72 total that standard array gives.
Spiritgoyle drop me a link to your character when you can. Either via PM or discord. The link to the discord is available in the group PM, let me know if you need a new link
"Hi my name is Kraft" you see a average size human with lots of trinkets on him, with long wavy black hair, green eyes, he wears rough dirty looking garments. he has just walked, hiked and hitched from the most south point of Florida to attend school. "I like to tinker with things"
Tellier walks up to the front, nursing his sore thumb and absentmindedly scratching at his scales. "I, uh, I'm Tellier. Is this some sort of program with NYU? I'm completely confused here..."
“Oh hey, are you like a dragon? I’m I guess a snake... Yeah, my mom didn’t really tell me what was going on. She just told me this was a good school and I would learn a lot, where are all of you from? I live near San Francisco.”

Ceasar gives a small smile and nod to his fellow candidates, "Pleasure to meet you all, Ceasar Dracula. Hope we can get along." He eyes Cassie, slightly suprised that she was there. Not because of the tabloids, but due to being fellow nobility. Albeit, different kinds and from different countries. Still, it was nice to know he knew someone.....even if they now had horns and wings.
Ceasar gives Asher a polite look, "Never been, I'm from Romania in Eastern Europe." To Tellier, he nods in understanding and says calmly, though a hint of wonder can be felt in the back of his voice, "This isn't the NYU, we are in Naedonia Acadamey for the Arcane."
As you all are introducing yourselves, the student who led you to the auditorium hops off the desk and approaches you:
"Heyy! Glad to see you guys passed! We didn't have time to really talk before, but my name is Lenny."He says this as he reaches his hand out to each of you to shake your hands.
"As you can see I am a red blooded human! You can imagine my disappointment when I realized that there was so many other species and races out there and I was stuck as plain old human HAHA! Anyways, I've been in your shoes not too long ago. The Dean should be here any second now to formerly welcome you all and offer a greater explanation"
"Ladies and gentlemen, please if you can find your seats I would greatly appreciate it." He waits a few moments for everyone to situate themselves and quiet down.
“Let me be the first to welcome you all to Naedonia Academy. Some of you are legacy students, therefore your predecessors have undoubtedly given you a some exposure as to the world that you are about to step into. As for the rest, I can only imagine what you must be thinking*chuckles* So here is the breakdown: Magic is real,*conjures a small flame in his hand* it flows down to us from a source that is not necessarily meant for us to understand, but it wont stop many of us from trying to do so… even, sometimes, to our own misfortune.
Many of the stories you were told when you were children were actually derived from reality, as much as we try to keep the happenings of the magical world a secret, there will always be whispers that slip through the cracks. Those whispers, as astounding as they sound, tend to be turned into fantasy stories, TV shows, movies and what have you. Therefore… as the Historical and Beneveolent Wizard of Oz would say... 'You are now catching a glimpse Behind the Curtain'.... Just kidding, he's not real he was made up for a movie, I bet that would have thrown you for a loop!
Anyways, some housekeeping first. The school has runes of protection installed along the perimeter, it keeps those who we do not want on school grounds out and also keeps us hidden from prying eyes. Non-students and creatures will walk towards the perimeter and the runes let them walk on through without being none the wiser.
As you have already deduced, there is more to this world than you have previously thought. Humans are not the only dominant species, I can see that we have a Tiefling joining our 1st year class." Saying this as he points to Cassie. "Oh, a Dragonborn as well. I haven't seen many of you in my life-time. Anyways, the point is I understand that some of you had no idea that you were not human and that this must be quite a shock. Feel free to speak to one of the many councilors that the school has on staff if you wish. You will find them in Loralei Hall on the west end of campus, or you can also come and visit me at my office. If i have the time I will be happy to clear this up further. Also we have an extensive library full of historical texts that will thoroughly educate you on your true race/species.
This school is an educational academy of the arcane arts. However, that does not mean that all we do is teach magic, we teach people how to use magic and how to defend against magic. It is important to understand that there are beings and creatures in this world that are immune to magical spells, therefore we also have classes that will instruct you in physical combat in an effort to afford to you the most complete education possible.
I would like to end my welcome speech with a warning. Magic is valuable, it is addictive, and it does not come without its costs. It would also be well for you to keep in mind that though you may have magic today, it is possible for one to lose magic, and those who lose magic will do anything to get it back, and many of those who have magic will do anything to have more of it. With this education you must be aware that you will all become dangerous to yourself and to those around you, there is no specific rule forbidding the use of magic off school grounds as we are all adults and we expect you to be cautious and smart when it comes to the use of magic. That being said, welcome to a new chapter in your lives. We do hope that you will enjoy your scholarly career here.
First years, your first day is tomorrow, rest up as you will need it.”

Ceaser: Take a point of inspiration - you provided me with answers to the questions that were originally on the test!

(They did this via PM - feel free to post them on here if you'd like!)
Going above and beyond to immerse yourselves into the world is always greatly appreciated guys!
