Hey, I just joined. Just had a sudden urge to do an idea with Arknights characters or GFL characters or something from a gacha game of that caliber and suddenly remember that this place is a thing. I am new here, so I don't really know all the ins and outs but if anyone is feeling it, depending on the game, you'd either need little to no, or a lot.

The harpy jumped in her seat as she started being talked to. She legitimately hadn't expected a few people to come up and talk to her, forgetting the cardinal rule of avoiding attention warrants attention. But luckily, she didn't mind much. "Oh! Hey. I'm not really your usual crowd so no need to worry. I'm just here for her." She pointed over to her sister, still dancing away with the guy from before, flaunting herself.

Mara grinded against a guy as the music played loudly around them. She was happy to flaunt herself as the smell of alcohol wafts from her breath. She wasn't drunk, or at least not enough for her liking, downing a beer as she pauses to hug the monster she barely just met. Laila had long since separated herself from her sister in the small room. It was all Mara's idea to join in, even though they weren't exactly invited. She squeezed through the crowds, going back and forth in some hope of finding somewhere to just wait out her sister. It was growing a bit hard to find a place to sit as the seats were slowly being filled by drunken couples and a handful of lap dances. She hoped to Zeus to not see her sister doing the same. Soon enough, she just decided to settle on some place off to the side to just set up and wait. (Hopefully I'm not stepping on toes or doing a group rp faux pas joining in this way. Been a bit since I've done one.)

Name: Mara and Laila Pallas Age: 20 and 20 Sex: Female Race: Harpy Position: 2nd years Personality: The twin harpies are a fair mixture of rivals and loving siblings. Mara's careless yet cocky attitude juxtaposed by Laila's more careful and elegant mannerisms causes quite a bit of friction between them, yet it at least says something that they've still both lived through 2 decades together. Background: The two had a fairly regular time growing up as harpies. Two parents, did fine in class, hated each other, loved each other, learning how to steal away missing items for Zeus, practicing gusting over small watercraft and now they're here to further their studies. Abilities (Shared): Bird Flight: Being harpies, the two of them have hollow bones and large wings, allowing them to fly. Winged Gusts: Using their wings, they can cause large gusts of wind. Even though Mara is a bit stronger at this than her sister, she can still only cause enough to tip a small sailboat or make a human lose their balance. Item Snatching: Even without the orders from Zeus, Harpies are naturally good at grabbing things without people noticing. Laila's the one that practiced further into this, and although nowhere near perfected, she can grab an object right out of someone's hand without them noticing, with enough luck.

I kinda forgot about that. Might join in with either Rayyan or another character if I can find the ref for them

"I do not doubt the possibility of me just getting the best of them for me. My classes lean closer to the beginning of the day, so they could be just tired with me. I know kids can be hell, so I am a bit surprised I have gotten this far with little issue. But do keep in mind, it has not been perfect either. Cheating, sneaking in illegal food and drink, the like. It's just difficult to hide it from me." She took a bite from her meal. "Also, I do not like excitement that much. I am not really out going in anyway, to be honest."

She's a little taken aback by the sudden show and tell, but it isn't the first time she's seen a dragon, although admittedly them being magically spawned in isn't that common. "Fair, I still have not particularly had anyone to practice against. No hard time with my students, not much interaction with other students. Coworkers are naturally fairly busy, if I am not busy myself."

Name: Rana Ghadir Nejem Age: 39 Sex: Female Race: Bird-fly Occupation: Grave maker and occasional maid service Personality: Rana is calm and patient, keeping herself slow to be frustrated. As a foil to her daughter, Rana is wiser but can be a little selfish at points. She's flashy and enjoys being the center of attention when appropriate. Background: Being a bird-fly, Rana is used to living among gods and spirits. Despite being one to shine attention to herself (such exploits causing her to meet her ex-husband), the godly atmosphere gave her a bit of humility. She is a widow and the mother of Rayyan. Abilities: Strong Grip: Being a mantis, Rana can hold on with near deadly force with her most forward pair of arms. Although largely without a powerful bite, her grip alone can still prove useful. Improved Reflexes: While incapable of flight, her wings and natural flexibility allows her to roll and flip in air. More capable than her daughter, Rana sticks the landing more often than she doesn't. Spirit World: Being a descendant of Egypt's species of bird-fly, Rana can travel and bring souls into the afterlife. With her expertise, she can even bring souls back out, with exceptions and limitations.

"Well, the majority of my powers are simply just a part of living for me. If I wish to enter a higher dimension, I simply choose to, and often have to for certain errands. And, I don't get disrespected particularly much. Have not had much rebellion within the students of my class so far."

"Just a few examples. Naturally, that can't be all they learn. And, yes, some things might be... Better left out. Many for brevity, of course." She gave the question a little bit of thought. "I don't believe I have. I am certain that I have passed by it, although."

"Yes! Something like that!" She smiled before then returning to her lunch for another bite. "You could also teach them about games and food. I have heard some students ask about such things between each other in the past."

"Well... Hm." she thought for a moment, hand under her chin. "Try more interactive lessons. And by that I mean making learning akin to a game."

She nodded while listening to her explanation, taking mental notes. "Well, humans, as I've found out, can be pretty sensitive, especially when compared to my or your species. And I just wanted to make sure, but that also shows my point. I have met a few humans that might be agitated from such a question. Monsters often aren't."

Her smile shrinks as the demoness gives her response, chewing on it a little bit while chewing on the sandwich of her meal. "I'm quite alright. Well, what is your teaching strategy?" She turned to Bridget as she asked, then adding on, "-Apologies if I offend you asking."

Nashor lightly hummed a song in the quiet room as she worked. Soon enough, she looked up to see Bridget walk in and greet her. "Oh, hello. Yes, that's right. How are you today?" She smiled slightly as she sat up from hunching over the papers.

As her break started, Nashor ate her lunch while grading a few assignments. Being just out of student teaching, she was still pretty new to grading, meaning she still needed a bit of time to get into the consistent rhythm of the whole thing. Her fingers absently tapped her pen against the table as she checked through assignments.

Name: Rayyan Yasmine Nejem Age: 19 Sex: Female Race: Bird-Fly Position: 1st year Personality: Rayyan is a fairly excitable and reactive person, especially for a mantis. She's friendly and doesn't have much of a filter, leading to any interaction going anywhere from charming to embarrassing as she plays her character. She takes her character extremely seriously, and, while not impossible, it takes a lot for it to break and show her more meek self underneath. Background: Bird-flies are a type of mantis in ancient Egyptian lore, servants of the gods who lead souls into the afterlife and helped them navigate. Born of this lineage, Rayyan grew up around gods and goddesses of life and death and grew to idolize them, for better or worse. Abilities: Strong Grip: Being a mantis, Rayyan can hold on with near deadly force with her most forward pair of arms. Although largely without a powerful bite, her grip alone can still prove useful. Improved Reflexes: While incapable of flight, her wings and natural flexibility allows her to roll and flip in air. But without perfection, she doesn't always stick the landing. Spirit World: Being a descendant of Egypt's species of bird-fly, Rayyan can travel and bring souls into the afterlife.

Name: Nashor Vaspa Xidik Thuvostoght Jr. (Nash, or Ms. Thuvo) Position: Math Teacher Age: At least 400 Race: 4th Dimensional Being Personality: Nashor is a fairly nerdy person (being? entity?) and is very exited to learn. Her sociability is pretty low, not being much of a friend maker and not really trying to anyways. She's unusual to most monsters and typically revels in the solitary. She's asexual, but in saying that, she isn't really aromantic. In fact, almost contradictory, she loves seeing people happy and studying their emotions, seeing some reactions as alien purely from the prospective she sees from. Abilities: 4th Dimensional: Her most major trait and the source of most of her abilities: 1) Walking/"Clipping" through walls and floors: The majority of 3rd dimensional walls are able to be stepped through by Nashor. Naturally, she still has a sense of privacy and respect that she's gained over the centuries, keeping the most obvious secrets, secret. 3rd dimensional objects and people are not able to follow her through. 2) Invisibility: While not true invisibility, she can choose to move away from the 3rd dimension and appear to be invisible to humans and other monsters. While still being able to see back at them, she isn't silent and can't interact with people while only in the 4th dimension. 3) 4th Dimensional movement: As a part of her extradimensional status, she isn't quite bound to 3rd dimensional gravity. As such, she's capable of walking one body length above or below the ground with ease. Frightening Origin: From her more Lovecraftian life, many parts of her are capable of affecting the mental capabilities of people who try to understand them. From simple explanations of her world to her own home language can cause extreme stress to many. Although words alone can't do much other than make people stray away, photos of her realm can be dizzying and sanity sapping, pushing most to their mental limits trying to understand if their curiosity pushes them.
