- Write your character's name, basic physical description (gender, height, hair color, chest size, etc.), basic personality, background, sexual history, known kinks, fears, what they want from the school. Connor Dragora, Male, fairly average looking, but less masculine, with short brown hair. Quiet, but friendly, and loves to help people out, but he tends to be a bit down on himself. He's a virgin, and has never been in a relationship, because he's too embarrassed to make a move, and tends not to notice when somebody is flirting with him, because who would ever want to do that? He's bisexual, and masturbates frequently, usually more than once a day, but doesn't know about any particular kinks, and tends to look at fairly basic porn. He's a bit afraid of letting people down, and heights and knives. He enrolled mostly because it was tradition, and doesn't exactly know what he wants.
- Describe how they learned about and entered the academy. Were they raised my wizards planning to send them here, or did they not believe in magic til they saw it? Do they know anything about the school, or have heard any rumors about it? Connor is a native to Alexandria, and the Dragoras have gone to the school, and been in House Gorathigar, for generations. He knows a fair bit about the school, but hasn't heard about any of the more sexual things that tend to go on in there, and is mostly oblivious to the general promiscuity of wizards.
- Distribute +2, +1, +1, 0, and -1 across the traits Charisma, Observation, Physical, Arcane, and Care, and mark the appropriate house based on where you put the +2. How did your character react to their house? -1 Charisma, +2 Observation, +0 Physical, +1 Arcane, +1 Care. Being placed into Arecae, or rather, not being placed into Gorathigar came completely out of left field for him, and he still doesn't really know what's going to happen. He is worried about being disowned, and is guessing that he won't be next in line to be the head of the family, but there are relatives to take care of that.
- Connor begins with 6 XP. Spells learnt are Cleanse Water, Spark, and Levitate.
- Choose your Classes. Connor chose to enroll in Elements, Illusion, Summoning, and Runes, but once he was placed, he quickly added Healing as a fifth class, which gives him a very full schedule.

You are Connor Dragora, which means that you are a member of the Dragora family, which means that you are part of House Gorathigar. Except, of course, that you're not. Despite being the oldest child of the previous family head, you have almost certainly lost your chance to take that position yourself the moment that you were shamefully placed into House Arecae. There are rumors of adultery, that you are not your father's son, but anybody who has seen the two of you knows that they are false. Still, you plan to do the best you can in House Arecae, and whoever ends up taking your place as the next head will have your full support.
You will go to sit with your House with as much dignity as you can muster, but you hear a clatter, a thud, and see a book slide past you. You turn, and see that the student behind you has fallen. You grab the book and go to help them up, like anyone would, you think to yourself.
