I Love being with friends and entertaining them. I have always enjoyed being the one to make people feel better.

A good sense of community and a nice feeling of togetherness is key on having a good experience

Painting and creating things out of glass and clay are some thingd that I love to do in my spare time, when I get time to do it.

My beloved father was the only family I had until he…. Let’s just say that I have no family anymore.

Ever since I was A tiny child, I have been a born entertainer. I enjoyed having fun with the other students in my city’s school. But when I was shown that I had abilities like my fathers, I was sent into training in how to basically control my powers.

I was trained on the rules on how to respect magic from my father, who was the lead wizard in researching pyromacy. I learned under a rigorous rule set and had was always busy on some assignment that would keep me in check, but I always had time for fun and showing others my tricks in order to keep them entertained.

This continued until my father was caught experimenting in forbidden magic. They called it dark, evil magic that no one could control. He was imprisoned for this work and planned to hang him. I was believed to be taught this magic, and so they went to take me away to be killed as well, but my father broke out of his prison and saved me with this weird looking fire he used to block their way from me. his last words before they killed him was “… Go to the academy and learn how to be a mage. Always remember ‘darkness is like an ocean… some drown and get consumed in it, and others learn to ride the waves. I lo-” That’s all he could say until an arrow pierced his chest.

I set out right after that in search of the academy to learn how to become the strongest mage in the world.

I enjoy Human technology and I love to experiment with it. I find it quite fascinating, but nothing compared to Mechan Technology. I like to be around plants. I love the smells and sounds of a greenhouse and forests, they remind me of growing up. If anybody needs help with technology, I'm here to help. I didn't get a chance to see my parents, as they were killed shortly after my birth. In Renovatio I work for a biological science unit. Lastly, I enjoy fighting others for fun, but I may have a tendency to go overboard a bit. Other than that, there is nothing more I can tell you.

When I was growing up, the island I lived on was in a war with the neighboring continent. My guardian knew I couldn't survive at the time, so he sent me off of the island in a small ship about my size along with my current armor, weapons, and an Eternity Shard. I was floating around until 10 years ago when I was awakened from my slumber. The war completely destroyed the island and left me to live life the hard way. My guardian Ectosant was very insightful and taught me many of the things I needed to survive today, but I still wish he could've survived. I wish to learn more about this world and life. This is why I came here to study for a bit.

~~ Not too long ago I had to make a choice. I had to decide whether to save my friend or be with my family. I love my family dearly and to be honest barely know Kale, but I know he's a good person. I made the choice to save Kale over staying with my family. I've decided that some times we must give up that which we love in order to preserve life. I'll give up everything I love to preserve life. I believe that is the way of Gaia.

-Indicate a person who has had a significant influence on you, and describe that influence.

I haven't known her for very long, but Tolo has had the most influence on me. She found me near Labyrinth Forest and accepted me without a thought for her own safety. She risked her life to save me after only knowing me for a couple of hours and then went as far as leaving her family to help me be here today. All of this she did in a single day yet still remained strong enough to lead us both to this academy. Perhaps one day I can have her faith and strength.

I don't remember his name anymore, but I met him one my first day at a private 'orphanage' I was in. He became the closest to a friend I had. He let me know that no matter what kind of background I'm from I can become what I want to be. All it takes is work and effort. As well as alot of pain, sweat and blood.
The orphanage was shut down the next day and I haven't seen the boy since, but I've pushed myself to become better. Now I'm hoping to try to get help from others to develop myself further.

I enjoy writing and recording my life in my journals. My brother Lance says I take after my mother in that department. I spend my mornings training; running, working out and then a little bit of sword play. Then I work on my magic studies. Magic is coming along, but slowly. I wish I had the talent that my sister does. But anyway, I also like the play games and read books.

-A range of academic interests, personal perspectives, and life experiences adds much to the educational mix. Given your personal background, describe an experience that illustrates what you would bring to the diversity in a college community, or an encounter that demonstrates the importance of diversity to you.

I am from a small family called the Graystone. Our family history is long and very detailed, but I will just tell you about myself. I was born in October, right after my twin Celeste. Red haired and gold eyed, I was always considered a little different the rest of the family. But my mother loved us both equally and as we grew she gave us the best love and care that I could ever ask for. So did our father, but I rather not talk about him.

My sister and I were home schooled. My mother taught us about magic and the old ways, and I learned how to fight. I wanted to be the strongest person I could be, and I worked hard to show that I could be the best. My sister learned magic quickly, and I stuck mostly to sword fighting until I got the hang of it. Magic is really hard to learn I’ve come to understand.

But anyway, my mother and father died soon after my 14th year and my older brother took care of me and my sister. Eventually he relocated us to another country, and has decided to send me here so I can learn more. I guess he knows best.

Archery is what tends to take up a majority of my free time in-between all the tasks that father sets for me, I also find reading calms me so if I'm not practicing with my bow I can normally be found engrossed in old texts. Father also suggested I start talking to people more as I tend to act hard to approach... or something like that, personally I don't see why father insists on such a thing as most find my presence unnerving at best which I cannot understand.

I would like to get involved in other things such as learning swordsmanship so that the bow isn't all that I am proficient with, however father believes that this is a foolish idea and has forbidden me to learn anything but the bow... sometimes I don't think father understands me at all.

To whom it may concern.
As of the writing of this letter the fee's and special donation for extra special care of my only daughter should be in your possession and is hopefully sufficient to ensure my daughter receives good care and strict watch during her time in your care, I would rather if she didn't learn anything outside of the chosen program as this might give rise to rebellious tendencies and make her difficult to deal with. As I described in my previous letter her body is made of gold that was melted down from my considerable fortune and is hence very valuable, my daughter is after all my most treasured possession and although I hold your establishment in high regard I would be very disappointed were anything to happen to her.

Please consider this a humble request and should good care be provided then future special payments would also be possible.

I have always enjoyed running through the forest at night, especially under a fool moon when all the hidden wonders of the forest come alight. Lately, as of my current circumstances, I have also taken up a liking in fencing. The rapier is a great weapon, so elegant and majestic, much like a unicorn’s horn. Tea is also nice, as well as some other human foods.

I once had a human friend. To be honest my only friend. I met him after he stumbled through my little forest in the north. It was protected by my family and fae magic. Most people would have gone in circles and eventually left where they came in and never know; he however, was able to make it to the heart of the forest. When he did, I was bewildered. I never had to face a human before; so I attacked him. He was clever though, and powerful; and he had me defeated before I could get to him. But… he did not kill me, and actually the spell he had put on me merely just slowed me down so by the time I reached him, he had only patted my head and smiled.

From then, we were friends. I knew he could be trusted because when he could have killed me and sold parts for a high price he merely joked and played. It was at this time in my life, that I wanted to judge humans by the qualities of this man. I am saddened however, to say; that man, is not as upstanding as the great person whom was the first I met. His killer showed me the darker parts of humanity, and now I stand confused. Now that I am one of you, how do I judge humans; and moreover… how do I judge myself?

Do you know what it's like being born on Christmas ? Having all your wants and desires for a normal party every year stomped on by eight, technically freaking nine reindeer?! Or what it feels like to be noosed by a string of glittery garland and suffocated by cotton plumes made to be artificial snow for stupid little city scenes on stupid little mantles in stupid little houses. I do. My whole life, like twenty years has been overshadowed by fat men in red suits and prettied up dead trees. I don't hold grudges or anything. I'm pretty laid back, but Christmas sucks. Anyway. I want to tell you why I came to the Gaian Academy. It's partly because no one knows me here I guess. I've had a troubled life, sort of cast out and abandoned by aloof parents too consumed in their own affairs to notice their childrens. Yes, children. I have a brother. He was the star child. Awesome grades, scholarships. Perfect at everything. Her was god to my parents. And me? I was a mistake. A drunken night gone too far, and birthed from a mother too proud to ruin her reputation with an abortion. I ran away a few years ago, forced myself to indulge in my art and finally, take a step towards perfecting the only talent that wasn't sucked up by my brother. So yeah. Here I am.

I once ventured into a mysterious cave and faced down a massive Cyclops. He charged at me voraciously and I was defenseless, except for my one skill, my ice magic. He swung at me with his ragged club and I narrowly dodged it. He swung again, leaving me no room this time for evading so I was critically wounded. The foul beast hovered over me, taunting with unintelligble roars, until I raised my bruised arm and shot an icicle at his eye. He fell down roaring in pain as blood seeped from his eye. I quickly fled, leaving the bloodied Cyclops behind. This impacted me because I learned how to face danger and make quick decisions.

I'm always one for a good read as it is one of the few things that make me feel normal. Debating is an always appreciated pastime of mine but lately I've been losing interest as no one seems to like this hobby enough to go against me. I'm very reserved, preferring to be alone and get lost in my thoughts which relaxes me greatly. I also enjoy a good adventure and anything that has a level of danger to it.

Hmm...where do I start?...I don't know. I don't remember anything further then three or four years ago. I remember certain things like that I was a healthy and fit young man who was relatively well known where I came from, that I enjoy reading, and that I was known as "Pain" to my friends because I was clumsy and often caused accidents which usually wound up hurting someone but others like my family, where I lived, or even what day it was. One evening, I was simply reading a book and fell asleep only to wake up a few days later. I didn't know it had been days until I started my usually morning ritual since the sun was shining bright outside and I had been reading at night. After taking a quick shower and changing into a new set of clothes I went outside for my usual morning walk. Only then was I able to see that not only were most of the people gone but some houses were either collapsed or missing parts such as walls and roofs. A few minutes later after walking through the destruction I found one of my neighbors underneath some rubble and badly injured. I quickly dug him out and asked him what happened. He told me about that a few days ago a black fog swallowed up my home a few days ago and I disappeared. Confused at this I asked him why he had told me this. He said no more then a few hours after I had disappearance a beast in the form of a man came in and destroyed the place. The beast ,he says, sought out any living person and burned them into ash and absorbed the remains. This being had no facial features except for an evil grin and blazing red eyes...the rest was shrouded by the shadow from a hood it was wearing. It ravaged the place until only he was left and that was because the rubble hid him from the beast's view. Before he could tell me anything more he passed away.

Over the last three years I've been seeing things and having vivid hallucinations of what I believe is "the beast" that my neighbor talked about. I can see it out of the corner of my eyes and sometimes for a split second in the reflection of a mirror. It stressed me out to the point that I lost weight and spent much more time away from people which eventually turned me into a scrawny and pale version of what I used to be. I believe that I am this...beast...I don't know why it's there in the first place, I don't know why it chose me, or if I was born with it and it decided to reveal itself to me that night. All I know is that whatever it is.....it's getting stronger by the day.

Magic has always been a big part of my life, growing up in a town that is a hub for magic. I've seen many different kinds of sorcery, conjurations, illusions, and all other magic, although one particular branch has always intrigued me. Alchemy, the transmutation and alteration of materials and creatures have fascinated me since I first saw a man turn copper into gold. I know that the trick was merely an illusion, but the thought behind it was what truly inspired me. The marriage of science and magic, as a boy, nothing could be more impressive.

I was thirteen when my father, a gunsmith, took me under his wing and taught me the way of the gunslinger. My mother was not too fond of the thought, but I excelled in it. By sixteen I had created my first repeating crossbow, and in that same year my father handed down to me his most treasured gun. An M1 Garand. And my mother, not to be outdone, gave me a matching pair of eagles. In their eyes, I had earned my wings, and now I was ready for the world. I left home at the age of seventeen, and headed here, to the esteemed Gaian academy, to pursue my love for Alchemy.

My goals are mine to keep. But don't get me wrong, I'm a very laid-back guy, and I prefer the company of others. But caution is my best friend, and my mistress. It's a good thing the Academy isn't so restrictive of it's student. but I must admit, having to part with my guns while on campus leaves me feeling defenseless. I've come to rely on them as much as my hands and feet, for they've saved me more times than I can remember. Good thing my classes allow for outside travels more than classroom dawdle. I know I'd shoot myself if I were stuck in a room with an old geezer droning on and on about this and that... I believe in practical learning, and that's how I intend to learn.

Oh, I have nothing against classrooms or old geezers. In fact, I've always admired dedication in people, and I've seen here that the teachers are respected due to their wisdom and skill, rather than their imposition through rank. Perhaps when I finish my travels, I shall come back and impart what I've learned to the next generation of individuals to walk these halls.

Let's see I like... Singing and Flying.
So I get I'm a fairy, I fly. We all do. I just like that sensation... That feeling of taking off and going into the air. I like to fly and feel the wind blow through my hair. I feel like I'm the only person in the whole world.It's amazing, that feeling of being with the birds and the clouds and- I'm getting off topic. Anyways I would like to say that flying is one of my favorite things to do.
I also like to sing. I've been told my voice is sweet. I'll just sit in my room sometimes and sing. My mother will come in and sing with me. My little brother will come in and listen. It's great. Just being with my family and making beautiful sounds with our harmonic voices. I like to sing, sing with my family, sing with my friends. I just am going to say that music is a big part of my life.

Being a fairy is... Hard. I mean, it's fun, very fun. I can fly, sing, fit into small places, but that's where the problem starts. I'm not small, but I'm not tall either. I am about 1'2" but that just means I'm smaller than everyone else. I don't like it, at all. I can fit into small spots, but usually I'm just looked over. People don't realize that I like to explore, that I like to adventure in the little small crevices that most people don't fit in.
There was this time that I was going behind a boulder. Well, it was this pile of boulders and it looked so intriguing. I just couldn't help myself, but some idiot decides to shift the boulders while I'm squeezing through them exploring. The thing moving them sounded like a machine. I was between two rocks that I was trying to get past when I heard the noise. It got louder and the rocks got closer. I was struggling, my breathing fast and panicked. I was frightened. I had managed to get through the rocks, just my ankle was stuck. The rocks kept getting closer and the noise louder. By then I had realized it was a machine. The whurr-whurr of the engine had given me that information. I had struggled and my ankle finally came out. I was out of the pile. That was probably the most frightening moment of my life, one of the only time I had experienced true fear.

Well, I'm not really what you'd call a "people person". In all honesty; I hate people I can be very anti social. I don't mind company, but revel in solitude and the company of my own thoughts, along with an animal or too.

Damn, that wasn't exactly answering the question. Well, I love to fly, which, being a wanderer without any cause to speak of, and half pixie, I get to do a lot. I also enjoy running, but my love of running is nothing compared to my sheer adoration of swimming. Water elementalism is one of my gifts, and it has burned ingrained a love everything to do with water into the tissues of my brain.

Combat is something I also find rather invigorating. Swordplay and archery especially.I also love reading and enjoying the beauty of nature. Spending time with eople and taing part in conversation is something I despise isn't exactly one of my favourite pastimes. I'd much rather a good novel, or some fighting practise.

There was one day, only a month or so past, when I was nearing the foothills of the Black Range. It was a normal day. I rose before dawn, dressed and watched the sun rise before setting off toward the towering mountains. Strangely enough, I can't remember what I was doing anywhere near those mountains in the first place, probably just on a whim. That's one of the small advantages of being a wanderer such as I, I can do as I please, within reason.

It was as I broke through the forest's edge and strided out onto the open expanse before the foot of the mountains that I heard it; a roar like thunder, that shook me to my very core, freezing my stomach in fear. It was different to the cry of every other beast I'd encountered; more savage, more powerful, more ruthless.

But that is not what terrfiied me the most. What froze the blood in my veins was the sight of the creature who made the noise. A dragon. She had scales as black as the night, her eyes were onyx orbs, her teeth and claws were ivory blades. She was flying towards me and all I could do was watch, paralysed.

I am not one who fears pain, nor death. But that day, for the first time, I felt fear. .
