Magus Quest [HP|Type-Moon]

[X] Marcus Sebastian Dominic Flamel

A true magus name.

[X] In the family library of your Clan's holding, burning the midnight oil away ever-seeking to learn something new.
[X] In the Work Shop of your father, soaking up theory-craft of the Alchemy that would become your inheritance, quenching your endless curiosity of what would become your inheritance.

[X] Excitement. To learn! To Study! To become Great! To seek knowledge regardless of the risks associated with it. This was your path.

[X] You resolved to take it with you, and bare the risk of its discovery. Caution had its place, but not here.

[X] An empty compartment. Alone for the moment, but at least that meant you would definitely have all the space you needed and time for your thoughts alone - at least until they were interrupted.
 
Interesting... Very interesting...! Well, except using 'Nicholas'—that's just repetitive! :C

Now let's see here....

[X] Marcus Sebastian Dominic (Flamel)

[X] In the family library of your Clan's holding, burning the midnight oil away ever-seeking to learn something new.
[X] Working on a longtime ongoing project - building a car from scratch. with nothing but some grease and your own two hands. Your family does not really understand your hobby but there is nothing quite like so relaxing as building something with a purpose in mind.

[X] Boredom. This was a long time coming and there is no avoiding it. You just know you could do so much more outside of the confines of the school.

[X] You left it behind where you found it, safe and secure. Lost opportunities, true. But much less risky.

[X] In the back of the train, where an adult was sitting, his nose buried in a tome of some sort.

The trope that characters from ancient lineages have long and cumbersome names must be upheld. While this one rolls off the tongue nicely, it'll be enough to appease the trope.

[X] Visiting different countries in Europe and meeting various Magus families around you. According to your father this was important for being able to put a face to a name in the circles you would be traveling.
The Library & Research seem so temptingly obvious min-max options I can't help but ignore them.

[X] Apprehension. Leaving the safe-space of home is not going to be easy on you. Stuck among vipers and scorpions that you knew lay in waiting for you to make a single miss-step, caution was only well advised.

Canon Hogwarts wasn't the friendliest of places, now add Nasuverse Magus to the mix... it's not going to be pretty. Apprehension should come in handy to dodge some devious plots or avoid walking into pitfalls over honeyed words.

Time to cozy up to the teachers! Teacher's pet Ravenclaw seems to be the most popular choice so let's get started early.

Don't really care about the name. Ths is good as any.

[X] In the family library of your Clan's holding, burning the midnight oil away ever-seeking to learn something new.
[X] In the Work Shop of your father, soaking up theory-craft of the Alchemy that would become your inheritance, quenching your endless curiosity of what would become your inheritance.

Well, the downside is being anti-social. But I've always had a weak spot for utterly obsessed characters, so this is for the best if we want to resurrect our Magecraft and possibly repeat our Ancestor's achievements.

[X] Boredom. This was a long time coming and there is no avoiding it. You just know you could do so much more outside of the confines of the school.

The choice is non-trivial. In the end, I voted for this because it signifies a greater level of talent and independence.

[X] You left it behind where you found it, safe and secure. Lost opportunities, true. But much less risky.

We're a first-year. What're we gonna do with that research, eat it?
Let's build up a knowledge base first.

[X] In the back of the train, where an adult was sitting, his nose buried in a tome of some sort.

Fits with the rest of the theme. We're probably better with adults than with the kids if we're so into research and books.
(I am totally not hoping for Tommy as a teacher :oops: )

[X] Pride. You awaited your to time to leave home and become your own person. To be able to make a name for yourself beyond that of the Family 'Flamel'. Or burn in the attempt.

For once I'd like to have a somewhat social protagonist...but I think it's not going to happen :(

School is about being competitive, not passionate. We probably have just as much learning material waiting at home, so I'd rather go in thinking the qualities which are new.

[X] You resolved to take it with you, and bare the risk of its discovery. Caution had its place, but not here.

Convinced myself to take it just because any student that finds it isn't going to turn us in when he could just blackmail us, and anonymity alone might makes it just as secure from everything else

[X] With a group of three boys, that looked around your age.

EDIT: Part of my argument for the characters design is that we have what was a great name, which is still a pretty good social bludgeon, and makes it easier to play that sort of character, meanwhile we cheat for magical power using our illegal research notes, and use any social graces to cover that up. Kind of a brash and domineering type that might be too full of himself at times.

Here is the vote tally and the corresponding winning votes. With regards to the name @Dragonloli123 and @Molyneux - I don't appreciate non-serious troll votes such as 'Darkdeath Killgore' and 'Bob'. Subsequently I as QM reserve the right to make null part or whole votes that I do not believe are made in good faith and ignore them when it comes time to count them. So while it might not matter now given they were nowhere near close to matter, just setting my policy now so you know how it is I roll. Update should be forthcoming tomorrow or Thursday.

I'm happy overall; I got what I wanted. We're not named Nicholas CX

[] Talking to your friends and spending time with them, children of other families who held territory nearby.

one of these ones need to win so that we can have contacts and conections which will make life as a magus easier and give us access to more resources
 
Is our father preparing a new crest or have one set aside already? As obsessed as the Flamels are with rebuilding, a first generation crest would be a start.
 
I'm curious why people chose
You resolved to take it with you, and bare the risk of its discovery. Caution had its place, but not here.

These are notes of practically illegal research by a former sealing designate right now. Not to mention the researcher was the head of an ancient clan with decades of experience and pursuing something that was deemed too likely to reveal the Moonlit World to the uninitiated.

A 11 year old, no matter how long he's spent in libraries, isn't going to be doing much, if anything with it. We'd also be much better off expanding our knowledge base or making friends rather than spending all evenings trying to open a research log, which, I'd like to remind again, was encrypted by a head of a magus family with decades of experience.

We should leave that for our presumable summer breaks or later years.

You know that line about trying to use OOC knowledge ending with us getting shafted?

Well that went through my head when i was reading this option. We don't need to do anything with it. But we have it if needs be or if turns out that we wont have breaks.

Maguses don't go around checking backpacks of other maguses.

It's pretty clear that people just went with whatever would let them complete the research the fastest, because munchkins.

Honestly, whose to say our dad wouldn't crack the whip and sneak it to us anyways? At least we know this way.

More importantly—we have an identity not tied down in OoC references. Seriously, Nicholas? I may be a bit hyper-focused :p , but honestly....
