Pyris smiled happily at the well-thought question. <This should start a debate, no problem.> "Well, it depends on what kind of roleplay you happen to find yourself in. Most fantasy roleplays have magic in them, so we'll start with that. Everyone should have a weakness, as you should know if you have visited with the headmistress in her classroom. A limitation to a character's magic is often useful in a roleplay. It shows that your character is not invincible....Oh, goodness...I've lost my train of thought. Who wants to help me out here?" Pyris rose and pace amoung the desks. Her heels clicked along the floor with harsh taps. Her jacket swished quietly around her as she examined her intriguing (sp?) pupils.

"So, basically, if you want to prove that you're not a newbie, you're going to give your character some kind of limitation?" Idiot inquired? He'd always been fascinated by the concept of magic, and wanted to get it right when he decided to join a role-play that had magic as a key component.

Pyris nodded at her bright pupil. <I like this one.> "Yes. But if your character has been a mage for a long time...Say, the whole 20 years he or she has lived, he or she would have less of a limitation than that of a newer mage. Experience is crucial to setting the limitation of your character." She turned to a brazen dagger at her table. She ran her fingers across the blade. "Could you give me an example of a good limitation to a mage?"

"Um, I don't know... Virtually no combat skills, or maybe clumsiness?" Idiot didn't really have much Fantasy RP experience, but he knew what he had seen on TV and read in books.
"Maybe they could grow tired with each spell they use," he added.

Pyris nodded, "All great weaknesses. A weakness is key to a character. Whether it be a shady past or trouble in the warrior department. In each rp there are two basic characters. The emotionally challenged and the over-emotional. If a mage uses mainly white magic, and suddenly uses dark magic, how many people think it would do more harm to the mage than good?" Pyris looked at the classroom of students. <These fill out nicely.>

"I think it would do more harm than good because maybe he could be corrupted by the power of the darkness or something to that affect or maybe that the magic he or she is using is to powerful and could knock said Madge out for a long period of time which would add a little drama to the r-p." Chibi-San said.

Pyris raised her eyebrow as nu bee spoke. "Young lady, you are about to get a lesson that you will seriously hate. First of all, Never. Ever. Speak without raising your hand. Second of all, never overestimate yourself. That's what makes any good mage die." She looked up to the young boy who had answered her question. "What's your name, boy?" she inquired.

Chance sighed at her younger brother's lack of proper punctuation, though compared to Nu Bee's it looked better than it usually did. At least he was obviously using spell check now...

(heh...That's why we love him chance.)
Pyris skimmed her eager students, hoping to spark a vivid debate on magic and combat. "Which is a better skill, the mage, or the warrior?" She waved her arms in either direction of the room. On one side, the room was filled with magical articals and spellbooks, the other, with weopons, armor, and fighting guides.

"I'm Chibi-San younger brother of Chance." Chibi-San said very plainly. "I think that they are both equal of course that depends on how skilled you are." He looked confident but he wasn't really positive that he was right.

Pyris nodded calmly at him. "Sure, they are equals, but which do you prefer? Most people, prefferring(sp?) a certain type, if someone is a mage, they roleplay as if a warrior had no power. When in fact, they are probably one of the most deadly characters his/her character could encounter." Pyris smiled at him. <Chance's brother?> "Why is this? Anyone?"

"I would belive that it would be because they could under estimate them and be beaten our because of that character's weakness coul be the other character's strong point." Chibi-San said.
