Elemental Adademy (fantasy/school)

[CSamurai]

STORY
In the land of Fa'Diel, a war is about to break out. Knowing this, students of the sage Michealov opened an academy where the new generations of warriors could be trained and taught in the ways of war and the elements. In this, the Elemental Mana Academy (EMA), the students learn to fight using their physical, elemental, and spiritual power. They learn to use and control of their own elemental force. They train in various forms of combat. The teachers only hope that they will have successfully prepared their charges for the war that is sure to come.
As a student here, you will no longer be a child, or a teen. Make no mistake- you are here to become a soldier. You are expected to follow the orders and laws of your instructors. You must leave here ready to defend yourself from your enemies. Otherwise, you will have wasted two years of your shrinking lifespan...

SETTING
The time period is... well... It's fantasy. It's mostly medieval, but modern things like clothing, some cement and steel buildings, simple guns (revolvers and bolt-action rifles are the newest types), and common modern items like cigarettes are here. The currency is partly gold and partly Lucre £. (A hint- gold is used in small fingernail-sized pellets, worth slightly more in weight than Lucre.)
This story takes place in the mythical land of Fa'Diel. Most people live in one of the three Great Cities- Cathe, Domina, and Chai. The academy, an abandoned reinforced-wood fortress, is located about a two days' walk from Cathe, in a clearing in the deep woods.
The entrance to the academy is in the western of its four walls, a large gap in the wall covered by a heavy log gate banded with steel. A small lake sits just outside of the northern wall, and the southern and eastern walls touch the forest. There is a small outpost-like tower on each corner of the walls.
Inside the walls, there are three main buildings: the large main hall, a small office-like building, and a medium sized building which contains the topside classrooms. A small shed at the edge of the huge field inside the fortress contains practice equipment.
Underneath the fortress, with wide staircases leading down from the surface, are the barracks, laboratory, infirmary, and storage rooms, where supplies, weapons, armor, clothing, and bedding are kept.

RP: Nico stared at the floor. He had not seen this jutsu since... Well, since the accident, years ago. He would have been less surprised, actually, if it had not been a jutsu but true lycanthropy. He looked up towards Urubain, then to the unconscious form of Rhiko. "To tell you the truth, all of us Sensei knew about that book, but it wasn't written in any standard language... It was an ancient and dead language that he apparently could read or translate. The seal on the book must have faded... I would take responsibility for it, having not sensed it..." he spoke, turning to Skaskea. "The jutsu was never supposed to be taught here....... It was meant to be learned only by extremely capable ninja who were watching over certain lycanthropes... We're lucky he is still alive..." Nico concluded.

Element: Wind
Class: Huntress
Rank: Senior Instructor
Weapons: Kiba (Katana), teeth, Wind Bow
Preffered Style: Magic
Skills: She is the huntress for the school and personally kills and retrieves most of the food eaten at the Academy, growing up in the woods made her excellent in hunting. Also, she is an excellent flute player and has an odd but beautiful singing voice. Her senses are heightened to an abnormal state because of her wolfish lifestyle.
Personality: She is distant and likes to stay away from everyone else, preferring her personal space over company. Ichijin is not aggressive, however, and will only defend herself or attack if necessary. She does not understand human habits or how they live. She loves the nighttime and the woods, preferring to be outdoors whenever possible.
Bio: Ichijin used to live in a small village in Fa’Diel near the woods high in the mountains. She would always wander into the woods alone. The girl loved the wilderness and everything in it. In her wanderings she stumbled upon a pack of special wolves who specialized in magics. They were not ordinary wolves so they did not kill her on sight, instead she befriended them and went to run wild through the woods with them. When she was five, the girl’s parents were killed and she fled into the woods. The wolf pack took her in and raised her to be one of them. They gave her the name Ichijin Ookami which means “Wind Wolf”. The wolves taught her to hone her skills with the wind element, her naturally gifted element. When she came of age she left the pack to seek her own life, as is the way with most wolves. She had been with the for ten years and had forgotten all about what it was to be a human. But the woman went back to the human world and tried to readjust her life so that she could live amongst them again. She soon was found by Sage Michealov and taken in to become his student. He taught her how to be somewhat human and how to spreak. Ichijin still has not fully adjusted to living as a human and will always carry her wolfish ways with her.
Likes: The forest and the wilderness, nighttime, singing, wind, the moon, wolves and all creatures, teaching others, quiet tranquility.
Dislikes: Loud people, closed contained spaces, indoors, humans in great numbers, people who are weak.
Weaknesses: Technology, advanced weapons, loud noises, Very strong elemental attacks, ranged attacks.
RP: "Oh how interesting. They send whores nowadays to do their dirty work?" The man spat as they circled. With a cry, Suzumi let her kunai fly, all at once. A blast of wind knocked all of them but one back, it landed in the man's gut. With her weapons turned on her, Suzumi turned them to water and the splashed her harmlessly. "A whore that can kill you." She said wickedly, smirking.
"You little...b***h." He said as he took the kunai out of him. The fight was far from over, and they both knew it. Slices of violent wind flew at her, she dodged each of them with skill. Now the man was becoming furious, while Suzumi kept her stoic calm. Then a whirlwind formed around her, trapping her inside it as it raged. She ran for the sides, but was caught in it and thrown back into the middle. Suzumi was trapped. Himura laughed and walked forward. "You can't even turn to water now. Your mine."
Though she was a little worried, the assasin managed to keep her emotions out of the battle, her face betrayed nothing. She closed her eyes and concentrated, her hands performing and intricate dance. The room began to fill with water. Kaijinbo looked around in alarm, "Stop it! Stop it I say!" He spat. The room was quickly up to his knees with water, and the man called off the whirlwind. With a smirk, Suzumi turned into water, swimming about, landing blows on her target while he ran about, confused.
Soon the room was drained of the water, though, and Suzumi was running out of energy. The man grinned and began to send more blasts of wind at her, though this time she could not dodge all of them. She was cut up all over her body and bleeding, though none were serious. Then Kaijinbo sent a powerful blast straight at her, knocking her off her feet. He reappeared behind her, his foot on her chest. With a cry of rage, Suzumi drew a kunai and drove it into his leg. The man let out a scream of pain, but did not get off. Instead, he concentrated his powers and used all his remaining powers to suck the air from her once again.
She could hold her breath for a long time, but this blow was much more powerful than before, and she found it difficult to concentrate on anything but trying to breathe. Her mouth was agape, and empty gasps were drawn, to be sucked away a moment later. In a desperate attempt, Suzumi sent blow after raging blow upon the man, still, he would not relent. He would die from his wounds, but first he wanted to see this woman die.
Suzumi's mind raced, and she thought about everything she had done in her life, she had tried to help people, and she knew that this reward was larger than anything she had earned and it would help, but she would not live to see it happen. A tear ran down her cheek as she thought about Skaskea. She gathered a bit of her remaining strength and sent him a mind message. Skaskea...I'm sorry... The message was not clear, and it was fuzzy, as though she was speaking through water, and some of it was lost. I've....failed.

About: Kyujin has trained most of his life in the art of sword wielding even during his childhood, once he was out on his own he would wander around testing his skills against the foulest of beasts from the boreal hound all the way to massive dragons. After his father had brought shame upon the family name Kyujin stopped addressing himself with it and now only goes by his first name, he'd been wandering around when he came across the school after gathering some information about it he decided that he would try to see if he could teach there and almost immediatly recieved that job after a demonstration of his skills.
RP: Veone tilted his head very slightly as she took on her usual nature and relaxed, he smiled slightly as she put her hand on her hip...'The same old Suzumi...' veone thought to himself as he remembered they missions they used to do together.

"Good, that means you shouldn't have fallen to far behind me..." Veone gave a cocky grin as he resorted to some of the old taunts that he used to give her during their time as squadmates...They'd always been a good team, it was too bad that life has directed them upon different paths...Maybe one day they could be a team again but until then he had to almost reluctantly consider her one of his most dangerous enemies.

"Betray is such a harsh word...I just choose a different path is all...and I didn't really choose this, it just came with the territory of studying forbidden jutsu...I told you once that I would be the strongest of shinobi and what I'm doing now will bring me closer to that goal..." Veone told her calmly before adding more. "It's just that people are so afraid of those who are powerful and seek more power that they feel they shouldn't exist...Skaskea's no different...He's the one who reported that I was studying forbidden jutsus..."
