Screw Homework, I'm gonna do a character profile

So yeah, I'll be in trouble later and regretting it then but oh well, live in the moment.

Name: Scarlet Eventide
Magic: Teleporter
Occupation: Elder
Appearance: Not very tall with shoulder length, thick, blond hair that never sits flat. Greyish eyes .
Weapon: I've got a huge stash in the vault I'm renting. Mostly odd sticks and things that I pick up in random places including a large pair of knitting needles and some very sharp sewing scissors (but I usually only use those to threaten people)
Personality: I'm pretty quiet with people I don't know as well.

Let's have a party!

I was looking for something to post and I suddenly had a great idea.
I just looked at the date this blog was started, and it will be it's one month anniversary on Thursday.
We could celebrate! Just start a comment thread on this blog and  have an online party :3 And we could wear the dresses (and suit, in Alex's case) we wore to the Requiem. That would be so much fun :D Comment if you want to do it.

Free job...

I guess there's something I should tell you. By the beginning of November, you'll need a new Administrator. I'm moving back to England.
See, my parents are complete crap. They sent me off here in hopes of a 'better education' because I'm not as smart as my many brothers, who they're always praising when they do well and yelling at when they don't. I think they just wanted to get me out of the way, and New Zealand was handy.
I haven't seen my dad's face in three years. I don't remember what he looks like. My mother Skypes every few months and came over two years ago, but that's about it. One time, she phoned me and called me my brother's name. Oh, cheers, mother. For  my birthday this year, they bought me a bouncy ball. (I'm 15). Seriously, they have no clue who I am.
Anyway, they're rubbish parents who don't give a **** about me. Lately I've been trying to convince them that I should stay here in Napier to finish college and do all my exams, and moving me who suck for my education. I think I got them nearly convinced.
But when the shakes hit Wellington, they suddenly freaked out and decided that New Zealand is a horrible, unsafe place and at any moment I could be killed by an earthquake or drowned by a storm or, I don't even know, eaten alive by tuataras. I tried explaining what it's really like, but they also decided they want me to take British exams and get British grades. But worse, they say I've 'fallen behind' and I need a special school. And, great, that boarding school (I've never been to a school and not boarded) has classes Mon-Sat, no laptops, Sunday sport compulsory, one hour on a computer per week, that kind of stupid stuff that means I'll have to leave the blog and lose touch with pretty much everyone. I doubt I'll be able to even email Saph more than once every few months.

Sorry. Got side-tracked on a rant. The big thing is, someone needs to be an Administrator when I go. Selena, do you want to?

Looking to the Americans....

Okay, so today, I decided I'd check out how the American Sanctuary was doing, and what they did in their first steps.

Turns out, no offense to ANY Ameriminions, but to be honest it didnt go spectacularly. I read through every post (yes, all 59 of them) and not much happened, apart from

      - A Serial Killer case that was never solved
      - They managed to banish an Elder from their blog. Who then decided to resign first or something. Who was then welcomed back in a while later (it was all rather messy).

Basically, after that, the blog slowly fizzled up and died.

SO its up to us to get this sanctuary up and running.
I think we need a detective or something of the sort. Someone who can inform us of any upsets in the magical community. Also, possibly, an... uh, suggestion box? Basically anything that anyone thinks isnt up to scratch.

So, thoughts everyone?

p.s Good luck with the Google Sketchup Saph ;)

Australia

Just thought I should inform everyone that I'm away visiting the Australian Sanctuary. Strictly business only. No beaches, no sightseeing, nothing. In the meantime, Scarlet and Saph can argue over who's in charge.

Welcome to the sanctuary Selena, our main rule is no bombing anything. That's about it actually.
We should probably make more laws.

Anyway, as always, we're still recruiting Kiwinions. Also, anyone have any ideas for our sanctuary's next steps? All ideas are welcome as long as they don't include too many meetings.

--------------------------------------------Roleplay---------------------------------------------------

Calidae Dark smiled as she lay under the shade of a palm tree, finally free of those awful robes. Yep, definitely no beaches she thought to herself, wriggling her toes in the sand. The surf hit the beach rhythmically, and the sound of children's delighted squeals filled the air. There was a slight, hot breeze, unlike the normal gales in Wellington.

"Are you quite finished, Grand Mage Dark?" said a man standing behind her, wearing a suit and looking uncomfortable. Pilius Smooth had been assigned the task of basically becoming Calidae's chauffeur for the duration of her stay. He was rather bad at hiding his distaste for the job.

"Lighten up, Pil," she looked up at him. "We've only been here 15 minutes."

"I hate you remind you, but you have duties: an appointment with the counsel in half an hour. Do you really want to turn up in your togs?"

She hated to admit it, but he was right. After some consideration, she stood up, shaking sand off her towel. "Fine. Lets go."

Pilius nodded, and she was fairly sure she saw a smug smile make its way onto his lips as he turned around.

So much for the holiday she'd been expecting.

Any other ideas?

Well, I loved the idea of this blog, but not much is really going on. So, as Administrator, I've thought of a few things we can/might want to do.
1) Come up with a new background for the blog
2) Like Saph suggested, invite other mages over so we can argue/fight/whatever
3) I'd like to use Google Sketchup to make up a model of our Sanctuary. Just because it would be awesome :3

I should post

So, hey Selena. It's great to have another member of the Sanctuary. And here's the profile thing Saph's been bugging me to do.

Name: Alex Stone
Magic: Elemental
Occupation: Administrator
Appearance: Uh, like me. Messy brown hair, eyes that are usually amber but sometimes turn brown, tanned skin. Looks about thirteen, even though I'm fifteen (so not fair.)
Weapon: Long sword. Sometimes fights with a whip too- I haven't really decided yet.
Personality: Trustworthy, I guess, but a joker. I'm social, warm, friendly and forgiving, but I'm not very smart. Brave, I suppose. I'm stubborn when it comes to things I care about and loyal. I also don't give a damn what people think of me.

That good enough, 'Phire?
Kiwinion's pretty cool. Or what about Miniwi?
