Again I can't believe I missed this one lol xp anyway one question...whats GPA?

BTW, one more person and we'll start the rp.

The school bus pulled up to the stop, its wheels screeching noisily to a halt. The doors opened to those who waited to get on and go to Universal Academy. The one who drove the school bus was draped in a jet black cloak, and paid no attention to those who stepped aboard. Around his wrist was a dangling trinket in the shape of a sword, the trinket was crystaline.

There were a few others on board, but they looked more experienced that those who were about to get onto the bus.

Max Moore, a Moon mage sat in the back of the bus reading a text book. He had the palest skin one could even imagine, it was almost as if he glowed. His hair was messy and as black as the cloak he wore. He was rather interested with his book and didn't even realize that the bus had come to a stop until the new students boarded the bus. He looked up and glanced over their 'regular' clothing. He knew that wasn't going to last long. Not at this school. He nodded to each of them as they came on, then his attention was warped by the book.

Jack Young, a Sun mage sat at the front of the bus banging his head to some rock and roll music. He had spikey bright red hair and well tanned skin. In his eyes you could just see a wild flame that begged to be let lose on everyone and everything. It wasn't wrathful but rather anxious. His headphones were on, but the whole bus could hear every drum roll and guitar stroke from the band that played. He looked up at the newbies and smiled excitedly, giving each one a strong handshake - even the females. He too wore the black cloak of the school, but his showed more of his toned chest than the other cloaks. When the new kids sat down he turned back to the fornt and jammed out even harder, sometimes blurting out lyrics to the song he listened to.

Lance Wright, a Star mage with mysterious eyes sat somewhere in the middle of the bus. He had the more normal skin tone of all the others on the bus who would range between Jack's tan color or Max's sickly white. He had his arms folded across his chest staring out side. He was the only Star mage that had already been on the bus. Any one could tell a star mage from any other class by the trademark bleached white hair they had. Rumor has it that they think so much on what new creature they could summon that it does this to their hair. Star Mages are usually rare. It takes alot of mental stamina to summon up those creatures. He was the only mage on the bus that didn't even look up at those who got on, instead he played with his trinket of an eye, made out of wood. He too wore the Universal Academy's garb.

Max looked up at the new kid and made a friendly smile,

"Go ahead an take it." He said with a nod.

He did return to his text book though, he read the shifting runes on the only page in the book with great intent. He did feel sorry for not giving the new guy some more attention but he had to study up on his runes before they got to the Academy.

"Hey Max.." Lance said with a twinge of boredom in his voice, he didn't wait for Max to answer, "You think there'll be some challenge in the Arena this year? Last year our team rocked everyone outa their trinkets."

He looked back, seeing that Max only nodded to Lances words and then returned to the world outside his window, "Yeah.." He scanned over the Freshmen, wondering if anyone was going to be in his group this year. It had been about two years without a freshmen Star Mage - and he was begining to think that they'd all uped and died. He looked away and heaved a heavy and bored sigh.

"Don't mind Lance," Max said, his eyes not lifting from the page, "Hes just been one of the six Star Mages at the school. They've been needing some new blood," and before Noah could reply to any of this, "The reason? Because its said Star Mages go utterally mad when they get older. Every time they summon it chipps away at their sanity. But you have to also have the right characteristics to be one too, as it says in the Chronicles of Gallibah: In fear, in rage, Humanity Reigns.." he chuckled at this and held out his hand for a handshake - eyes still on the page, "Name's Max, Max Moore. Mage Rank at the Academy. One more point and I'll be an elder." He nodded excitedly at this.

(( o-o all is good. I don't speak Japaneese so I can't be of any help. ))

Elear got on the bus quietly, scanning over the inhabitants with a curious eye before being caught up in Jack's enthusiasticly strong handshake. At first, he scared her almost to death, which wasn't a very good start to the day. After she'd passed him, she watched everyone even closer, her hand ready should another greeting like his come. Thankfully she made it to an empty seat without further incident.

Plopping down in her seat she scooted forward, pulling her knees up to them on the back of the seat in front of her. Now that her chin was about level with the bottom of the bus window, she smiled, staring out at the passing scenery.

"Bout time!" She mumbled, smiling happily to herself. "I didn't think we'd ever get going..." Digging through her backpack she produced a drawing notebook and a few different pencils. Her attention now completely diverted away from the scenery, she contented herself in scribbling away in the notebook, changing pencils as she needed to change the darkness of the lines.

For now, she'd forgotten about everyone around her. All that existed in her mind, were her, her utensils, and the small creature she was drawing out. It was furry, almost as though cotten balls had exploded all around it and it had been forced to live with the aftermath. Three long tentacle-like protrudings pulled out from what one could only guess would be the front of this miniature beast. In the back, a rabbit like tail gave inclination of a hind end.

The three tentacles soon had characteristics of their own. Five eyes taking up the entirety of one top. The other two, positioned directly on either side of the first, thinned out considerably to form two antanea at the end.

The last step... something for the creature to walk on. A smirk lit up Elear's face as she scribbled down what appeared to be duck-like feet. In her eyes, it was adorable!! She smiled happily, finishing minor details as the bus continued on.

((I had to make her a drawer at least... LoL!! sweatdrop ))

When the sonic sword shot across the bus, Elear instinctively scooched down farther into the seat. Once it had passed, she slowly sat up, peering over the edge of the seat.

The boy who had shaken her hand appeared to be completely unphased by the attack. He was screaming at what appeared to be another student returning to the academy.

"Lance?" Elear repeated his name, testing it to make sure it sounded right when she said it. "Lance. Good name..." She turned her eyes to this one, watching him as curiously as everything else. In the middle of her thoughts the portal appeared. When the elf leaped out and took Jack's headphones, Elear covered her mouth to keep from laughing. The boy, Lance, was right. Some of the other students on the bus seemed to be staring at Jack as though he were made of large toothed insects ready to attack them all...

"Hmmm... arena? Opposing teams?" She hadn't heard anything about signing up yet, so she felt safe enough, for now... She couldn't fight anyone, the thought made her giggle. Still, maybe they had some way she'd be able to learn how to fight the others. Not that she wanted to hurt them, it just sounded like fun.
