Please watch your step, there’s (more) new blood on the ground…
Greetings students, staff, and all resident termites!

Ever had that one friend who invites you out at 10PM for ice cream - and three hours later you’re wearing fireman pants, missing a tooth, and chasing a cow down a highway?

...yeah that one.

Meet Fisher Drosselmeyer, the living embodiment of “it seemed like a good idea at the time” especially if the idea involves cunning, creativity, and three pounds of crazy in a two ounce bag. Fisher is an Intermediate level student though this is (sort of) her third year at St. Margaret's; she had to leave school early last year due to ~~getting accidentally cursed~~ health issues. Her witchcraft deals with physical enchantments. In practical terms this puts her somewhere between talisman artisan and supernatural plumber. (Fisher herself votes for the latter.)

Fisher has the tendency to scavenge for craft materials and a very liberal definition of what material is considered “available.” She’ll “borrow” anything she can pry loose, but the items will usually be returned in a day. Or two. A week tops, honest. So if your bed is suddenly missing a leg or your toothbrush has gone inexplicably bald...

Think that it’s possible your wunderkind ran into Fisher before? Here’s some potential common ground:

⚔WANTED⚔ ♜ nocturnal camaraderie: Fisher’s an insomniac. If your darling keeps late hours, then they’ll likely to trip over her at some point. (...Literally; Fisher doesn’t understand chairs.)
♟ muscle & moxie: Super strong friends - or bribable acquaintances - willing to help haul junk across campus. Preferably with no questions asked.
♜ team mad!science: Sure, Fisher specialty is magical craftsmanship but she’s a got a lot of love for lab work. That, and tiny killer robots.
♟ lab rats & lunch dates: Fisher will buy lunch/dinner/candy to anybody who’s willing to let her “analyze” them for 45 minutes. Look, in this school is that really the weirdest thing your monster would do for a pizza?
♞ shameless enablers & cockeyed conspirators: Anyone who participated - willing or otherwise - in Fisher’s nonsense from earlier school years. This included such civic-minded activities as: 3 AM Jello banquets, banned book "concerts", reverse-strip checkers tournaments, popcorn snowball wars, and the Great Pancake Bacchanal (a.k.a. Debacle) of 2017.

⚠WARNING(s)⚠ ☓ Do NOT allow Fisher sodium before 9AM. Doing so is akin to pumping a six-pack of Red Bull into a hummingbird, except in this case the hummingbird will turn mean, maniac, and likely try to sabotage the drinking fountains.
☓ Do NOT believe her ~~when~~ if Fisher claims to have misunderstood your English. She didn’t, she’s just being a jerk (or trying to avoid punishment.)
☠ Do NOT let her near large animals - especially horses. Because 1) apocalyptic allergies and 2) she will sneeze on everything you love. Twice.

On a more personal note: ‘ello, I’m Lee! (Your second one, I think?) I’m on EST time but am very email friendly and, being the Worst Employee, will 110% reply when I should be working. Sadly, GChat isn’t much of an option. ☹ If you’re keen on threading via GDocs, though, then hey hey hey: marry me, gorgeous.

	Yay! Welcome welcome! I’m Khush and I’m just dropping this quick reply before I head to bed. I promise to add a proper intro tomorrow (later today?) when my brain is functioning properly again. We actually don’t have a Lee atm, though we used to! So you’ve got dibs hehe (Reply to this) (Thread)

That’s definitely a thing and if you are, you deserve a cookie cause that’s a lot to take on! And now I’m gonna try to finish that intro I promised!

I think of all my characters, Derrick would get along with her the most. They’re both in the robotics club and he’s a technomancer who can communicate with and manipulate anything that plugs in or has power, basically. He’s super nerdy and nice, though a bit sheltered.

For the rest I’m gonna be lazy and c/p my character deets from that other intro. XD

Teachers:
Mr. Kaden is a werebear, head of Ladon House, and teaches PE, home Ec., coaches soccer and oversees the carpentry club. He’s a giant teddybear most of the time, cares about all the kids and is protective of them through all seasons, but during the winter is when his bear half really wants to hibernate and his human half really can’t let it. Job and all, bah! So he becomes Mr. grumpy pants.

Now Mr. Hartley is a retired Dragonslayer who has had a change of heart and come to help protect the supernatural beasties rather than hunt them to extinction. He teaches Dragonology (claro), Supernatural History, and Self Defense. He’s a no nonsense kind of guy who doesn’t like his time wasted.

Students:
Neculai is a summoner and was summoned by a now deceased graduate student. He was brought straight outta the mirror and was kinda angry about it for a while. He’s from Anton castle which you’ll hear about on and off in the game as several characters are from there and it was a huge operation to go back and rescue all the other kids imprisoned there and tear the place down. He’s friendly enough but can get moody and defensive easily.

Derrick is a technomancer and he’s pretty friendly! He’s also in Sphinx, so they’ll have that in common. He’s from a little town in Kansas and has been recruited by the FBI to use his abilities to hunt down terrorist cells and the like. He’s been training with them in Quantico over school breaks.

Cheyenne is the daughter of Cerberus - though technically she was created by Hecate and Hades. She can transform into a three headed dog with a venomous snake tail, lion feet so yeah she’s pretty scary. But really she’s just a pup trying to fit in with the cool kids and crushing on boys. She can be a mean girl at times and can definitely give Talyssa a hard time. She’s in Ladon.

Van is a Kelpie! He’s in Hydra and isn’t afraid to say what he thinks. He’s one ornery fella! He’s known for getting into fights, both physical and on the network, but he’ll also stand up for people and causes he believes in. He’s VP and is dating the Student Body Pres.~

Galad is an elf and has a twin brother. He’s one of the Mentors of House Sphinx and will be looking out for Talyssa. Galad enjoys anything physical and hates to be cooped up inside. He has a penchant for getting into mischief. He’s also married to the elf girl he was betrothed to from birth and they have a lil bb elfling on the way. The wife is in Norway and Galad is verra antsy these days.

Kent is an Alchemist. He’s super intense and focused on making everything in his life perfect - a side effect of being an alchemist, actually. He’s in Hydra. He’s a writer for the school newspaper and takes his work very seriously. I forget if he’s diagnosed or not, but Kent has OCD when it comes to organization and being in charge of things.

And that’s the end!

...you're one of those players that never sleeps, ain't ya?

Derrick – Considering their powers are sort of complementary (being the electric and non versions of making crazy sh*t) I think these two would get along like a house on fire. Hopefully it won't be Sphinx or Kitsune House but…

Kaden – Fisher avoids sports, and PE, like the plague usually through a series of increasingly implausible excuses ("My sweat is radioactive!" "Balls are against my religion!" "Pregnant!"). She's a very keen member of the carpentry club, though, so there's a good chance for interaction there. Also, she's highly allergic to fur…which I'm hoping to translate into hilarious/ridiculous reactions when in proximity to the fur-inclined residents.

Hartley – Fisher's in none of his classes officially, but she's likely to start haunting Self Defense sessions as an observer. This is primarily because her "accident" has left a lot of PTSD residue which is going to be manifesting in…er…interesting ways.

Neculai – Major question: how well know are Neculai's origins around school? Because from an enchater's POV, Fisher is going to consider his unique energy marvelous, but that may not the kind of attention he'd enjoy.

Cheyenne – Fisher likes weird dogs. That's probably rather insulting to say around a human(esque) hellhound but, hey. I feel like they'd get along great if only for the fact no biting remark would ever be taken personally.

Van – Is he the sort of kelpie that sometimes grows hoofs and mane?

Galad – So, so, so many Midsummer Night references in their future. So many. On the plus side he sounds like a willing partner for Fisher's nonsense. Especially if he got that much nervous energy to burn lately.

Ken – Oh boy. Oh boy, oh boy. I would like to think that they'd get along okay due to having an appreciation for high standards and complementary magical natures…but I would also love to point out how utterly annoying Fisher's behavior may (does) seem for anyone with a serious mindset. She's incredibly disruptive and completely shameless and she doesn't spellcheck anything. And yet I still kind of like thinking they'd be buds, at least prior to her accident.

I sleep! Just never at the same time. I like to keep people (read: myself) on their toes!

Derrick - Definitely ability and interest-wise. Personality-wise Derrick is probably making this face a lot (and has probably said these words):

Kaden - omg yassss And as winter approaches, Kaden will become more and more grumpy and bearlike. Lots of sneezing in carpentry club.

Hartley - he'll spy her spying probably and take her aside for a chat. At first to be like "why aren't you in your own class?" and then to ask why she doesn't just join.

Neculai - It's pretty public knowledge, so have at it!

Chey - HEH - "biting"

Van - He's the sort that goes full blown horse, but he has also partially shifted before in order to bite the shoulder off another student in a fight ^.^

Galad - He's absolutely willing! But will only take Midsummer Night references for so long before he... well, he'll think of something.

Kent - "Don't call me Ken." They're off to a stellar beginning XD

Kaden - Seriously, though, they have more than one school nurse on staff, right? Right?

Hartley - She will see that as a challenge to lurk better. (On a more serious note: I would like Hartley to be the one who intercedes when Fisher starts fighting on campus.)

Neculai - How badly would he take her approaching weekly with an edible offering and a request to study his energy? Feel free to use cuss words in your reply.

Chey - Y’know, they’re going to get along fine.

Van - If she’s goes with Shakespeare, he can always retaliate with Shelley. Frau Frankenstein

Kent - Midas. She’s going to call him Midas. Or Goldfinger. Did I mention that Fisher is a major James Bond fan?

Hey hey hey, the cunning linguist! Welcome! :D

Sadly, I can't RP with you if you don't have GChat.

Kidding! I have:
- Jack, the banshee teacher who is also the Head of House Sphinx.
- Brendan, the half-pucca who turns into ravens or horses when he sneezes.
- Aktamun, an Egyptian chaosweaver with a penchant for blowing shit up! He's a witch too!
- Tanek, a boy who cannot die, mentor in House Kitsune, skews to the more illegal side of things.
- Wendy, wendigo trapped in human form. Steadily growing more human. Annoyed with that/
- Gilderoi, royal elf twin, School President, mean.
- Obsi, new dwarf! Wants to be a big music star!

Jack – What does he teach?

Brendan – You know how there's a theory that some people are inspired to sneeze when they hear others do so? Great now think of that, and then think of Brendan sneezing (and transforming) leading to Fisher sneezing (allergies) leading to Brendan sneezing leading Fisher sneezing leading to Brendan sneezing leading Fisher sneezing leading to Brendan sneezing leading Fisher sneezing leading to Brendan sneezing leading Fisher sneezing leading to Brendan sneezing leading Fisher sneezing leading to Brendan sneezing leading Fisher sneezing leading to…my point is this could be hilarious.

Aktamun – They can trade off being each other's alibi. Or sneaking care packages to each in detention.

Tanek – don't know how this would play with school policy, but Fisher would definitely have offered him cash to fall off a roof at least once (so she study him).

Wendy – How badly trapped is he?

Gilderoi – I'm sure nothing they do will ever upset or insult the other in any way. Fisher would certainly never ask if Santa pays him overtime in December…

Obsi – What kind of music?

Jack teaches Supernatural Studies and Creature Lore!

Hahaha, that would be hilarious. Poor Brendan, from cat to horse to frog to raven...

Tanek would be all: "How much money?" Maybe this can be a scene.

Wendy doesn't know. That's why he hasn't tried suicide yet, because he does not know if death will free him.

Oh ho! Gil will be amused, and then try to cut you to ribbons.

He's going to be a music star! Like Adele, except he has the voice of a male operatic singer. So more like Josh Groban.

Jack - She’s not in either of these this year. :( But maybe she was in her first year? Either way he’s already been referenced.

Brendan - She’s going to be calling him Benadryl.

Tanek - Depends on what he breaks/heals. Broken bones would pay for dinner. A broken neck would probably be enough to upgrade his phone.

Wendy - He sound very jolly and in dire need of (bad) company. They should be bowling buddies.

Gilderoi - Lets be honest, that’s probably going to a common response.

Obsi - ...please let him make the Groban reference somewhere within Fisher’s hearing.

Hello and welcome to the game! I’m Theo. I play... Jesus, FIVE characters now! I only recently got into the whole google scene, so I’ve rarely done Gdocs, but I’m willing!

Fisher sounds like a billion tons of fun and Hayden, especially, has probably been involved in a number of her antics! He’s a telekinetic human who used to be a cursed girl, so. He’s seen things. O_O He’s fun-loving and an Expert in Kitsune, so he knows the people and the places. He’ll have had been helping her and hanging out with her from day one, probably.

Next comes John, a maudlin healer type witch with a drug problem. Oops. He keeps to himself for the most part and doesn’t have a whole lot of patience for people. He’s also ADD and somewhere on the spectrum and struggles with schoolwork, anything but his magic. He’s a second year Expert, having failed a year, so they have that in common!

And then there’s Tomi, my new student. Tomi is from Japan and was very recently turned by a vampire. He’s mute as a result and unintentionally turns into a swarm of bats when he gets a little too greedy with his blood drinking. But he’s eager to meet people and make friends, so count him in on Fisher’s next round of hijinks!

My first teacher is Josephine Pearl. She’s a genie, specifically a Mārid type of djinn who can grant wishes. She has affinity to air and water, and her real form is a blue skinned half-mist dark haired woman. She’s the school’s grandmother and she coddles the students probably too much. The Mārida are a very rebellious lot, so she’ll enjoy Fisher’s innovative mind and help her however she can. She teaches Dance, Religion, and the Art of Transformation.

Second teacher is Max Price! He’s brand new to the school, fresh from down in NYC, and he’s a Pride Demon. Max teaches Psychology and Literature and we’ll have to see how these two get on.

Again, welcome!

Hayden – Finally a fellow fox, yay! Completely agree on them being classmates prior to her abrupt departure from school. Is he one of Kitsune mentors per chance?

John – I don't know how much failing a year will bond these two, but the creative pharmaceuticals a whole other thing. Fisher is going to be handling her recovery very, very poorly. And isn't it always better to make bad decisions with a friend? 

Tomi – I'm going to be honest with you; there is no world that I can think where Fisher doesn't call him The Batman. None. Sorry, Tomi-kun. Also question: can Tomi reform is even one of his bats is separated from the rest?

Madame Pearl - How good is your kindly genie as spotting damaged kids? Because, hoo boy, Fisher is bringing baggage for her school year.

Max - Ok, so this one I have a lot of curiosity about. For example, being the sort of demon he is, how does he react to people currently feeling like victims of their own pride? Fisher's accident left her with a lot of anger, some of if self-directed (she feels to have failed to rescue herself) and I was wondering if that's something that would ping Max's radar.

That, or they fight about James Bond movies.

Hayden: he wasn’t asked to be mentor, alas!

John: he’s having an intervention right now. We’ll see how it plays out and how willing he is to risk taking again.

Tomi: In these his early stages I would say yes, he needs every bat back to reform. As he advances he’ll only need most. BATMAN.

Jojo: I’d like to say she’s pretty perceptive. She does everything she can to help the students feel safe and cared for, so if one is clearly troubled with major behavioral changes, she will reach out. Is Fisher in any of Jojo’s classes?

Max: hmm tricky question. At least in this game’s canon it’s safer to err on the side of demons being more like humans than being able to inflict their Sin forcefully to others (But humans still think they do this because humans are too dumb to admit their own faults). And sensing their Sin in others? I think it’s easy for a demon to recognize it, yes. They know the traits and encourage them. In Fisher’s case, I think Max might actually help her restore her pride rather than feeling victimized by it. Does that help?

Yay! Fresh blood!

Here are my lovelies!

Kristen Moon: Expert in Sphinx. Vampire. She is friendly to a fault and will make friends with anyone. She dislikes feeding as before she was turned, she was a vegetarian and doesn't like the idea of killing animals to feed. Oddly, she would prefer to feed off humans as she doesn't view humans as having the same innocence as animals, though she doesn't really want to harm people, either.

Nicole Ramsey: She is an Advanced in Pegasus. She is a witch, specializing in elemental magic, specifically water/ice. She is also a medalist winning junior Olympian in figure skating. Despite her talent in figure skating, she has a strong passion for ice hockey. She is friendly, if you get to know her, but a bit to herself. She doesn't have many friends but is very loyal to those she has.

Delphine McGilvery: She is a standard in Kitsune. She is a half-water nymph. She has a very innocent way about her. She has only been living among humans for a little over a year. She is not a fan of it so far and longs to go find and return to her mother. She has a strong mistrust for males, stemming from her father being an abusive drunk. She is very confused by human culture.

Alyson Evans: She is a standard in Sphinx. She is a vampire and loves absolutely everything about it. Both of her parents are vampires and St. Margaret's alumni. She was adopted as a baby and turned by her adoptive father on her 15th birthday. She is very confident and the popular/queen bee type but is the type that will make friends with anyone and doesn't like to exclude people.

Finally, I have my teacher

Chloe Williams. She is the HoH of Kitsune. She teaches Philosophy, Law and Justice, Music studies/appreciation and Economics.

Haven't even congealed yet!

Kristen: Well, if nothing else these two can stress about menu options (Fisher is kosher and hates hot food).

Nicole - They don't much in common regarding athletic ability (as Fisher has none) but winter in Maine creates a lot of possibilities for snow mischief. Basically: does she want to build a snowman? (Or an army of snowmen?)

Delphine - More fellow foxes, yes yes yes! Fisher would be happy to help a House-mate explore human culture. Provide that "explore" translates to "eat" and "culture" is Maine's range of lobster rolls and Yankee puddings.

Alyson - She sounds adorable. So much so that Fisher would be immediately suspicious of her attitude. So, so suspicious.

Chloe - Fisher is in Philosophy (again)! Academically, Chloe may notice a drastic change in Fisher as a student. Sadly, it's a not a change for the better. 

Kristen - lol. That works. Kristen can complain about food. Nothing she can really do about it though as vampires not feeding usually is a bad thing.

Nicole - Sure, she can build a snowman. She would rather hit the ice and practice her slapshot though, lol. Does Fisher have any interest in learning to skate?

Delphine - Delphine would appreciate that. Humans are a confusing lot to her. She would definitely be up for some seafood. Though she prefers to cook her own. She would be happy to share though!

Alyson - Alyson is pretty adorable. Don't get me wrong, she will totally flirt away with Fisher but sure, she can be adorable.

Chloe - Depends how drastic of a change on if Chloe will say anything.

	Fisher has the athletic coordination of a drunken three-legged weasel. Who is also blind. But her therapist has encouraged doing more physical activities to better her mood, so… I imagine any attempts to teach Fisher would end with Nicole having to carry back indoors. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Chloe & Fisher smarts_n_crafts 2018-11-05 02:40 am UTC (link)
	Faiiiiiiiiiiiirly noticeable. She's late to class and with assignments, increasingly confrontational during debates, and more than a little nihilistic. Also, falls asleep in class. A lot. (Reply to this) (Parent)
