Registration, Spring '97 Classes, New Skill Slots, and Week Extension!
Hi everybody!
We've decided to extend the week by one week. Tex has finished with his school projects and has more time, and it looks like a lot of us haven't gotten into Week #19 yet. We'll get an event up over the weekend, possibly before, for REGISTRATION. Yes, friends, it's time to register for classes. On Thursday, you get to choose your courses for the Spring semester.
You get three courses per day. ADDITIONALLY, Erik Ivarrson is offering a special class on Tuesday and Thursday, 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM. This would be a seventh class. Sign up at your own peril. The classes can be found here as always; click on the tab that says "Spring Semester Classes" at the bottom.
Next: it's time to put your new skill slot in play! You are free to declare it now or wait. This can be a new school or a new skill. If you go this route, we ask that you say they're a novice in this area; they're effective, but someone just learning their new school shouldn't beat Cassidy at Mending or Riona at Channeling. Characters are free to have been practicing off camera or whatever you need so they can start using new powers soon!
You can also use this skill slot to buff a current school. This should be done to represent some kind of super focused area -- for example, Shifting into a colossal 30 foot tall unique monster, a quick burst of Enhancing to be able to make bullets bounce off you for a little bit, et cetera -- that would be a unique super powered spell. For example, Otto's biomechanical dragon form could be considered such a doubled up skill slot. We encourage this to be developed within a limited design space; doubling up on a skill slot is a way to acquire a unique signature ability, not be The Best Channeler Ever.
Feel free to post questions here, state what that new skill slot will be used on (if anything), and raise any concerns!
EDIT: If you are apping an investigator, and they're a teacher (or posing as one), feel free to request some open classes that they teach! Tex already has, because he is terrible.

FIRST POST!!!111!For skill slots:
Julian's getting Invoking so he can summon all the ravens ever
Tristan is getting Enhancing to improve his werewolfismON SECOND THOUGHT I'm going to put Tristan's skill slot into buffing Shifting, to allow him to shift into a much stronger armoured werewolf with elongated claws. LIKE SO (I'm guessing this would be kind of similar to biomechanical shifting?)
Aaaaand Val is getting Mace Training with a bit of 'improvised weapons' tossed in (so long as it's mace/club-like BASHING THINGS IS USEFUL).

a) Feel free to introduce your new Schools starting now.
b) While we want people at a beginner level, please don't feel this means "be boring." For instance: Julian can totally have awesome magical ravens rather than just... plain old ravens.
