VANORRA
AETHERIC/SOUL STRAIN STUDENTS
Erymn Vailess
Elf | 14 | He/Him
“Okaaaaaaaaaaay! Iiiiif you saaay soooooooooooo!”
Erymn drifts through conversations with a dreamy, lyrical air, his thoughts turned so deeply inward that his gaze often passes straight through people rather than meeting them.
He is intensely introspective, lost in layers of meaning that rarely surface all at once. When he speaks, his words stretch and linger, syllables elongated as if he’s savoring them, which many find grating or overly indulgent.
To others, he can be quite annoying — slow, distant, and maddeningly abstract — but to Erymn, language is something meant to be felt, not rushed. He isn’t ignoring the world around him; he’s simply listening to something much quieter.

Designation: Strain-Υ-19-CV
Strain Name: Chordline Vesselforge Type
Magic: Anchors soul threads into crafted relics, turning memories into latent enchantments.
Othisaen Lireleir
Witch | 16 | She/Her
“Just.. keep that in mind, will you?”
Othisaen carries herself with polite composure and an air of quiet enigma, her presence gentle yet watchful.
She speaks softly, inquisitive without prying, and often seems to be listening for things others miss.
A faint scent of lavender and dusk follows her, comforting and a little melancholy. She is poised in movement and manner, but her voice carries a subtle anxiety, as if the world presses in on her from all sides.
Othisaen is known for offering small, careful warnings — about a step, a word, a moment — not out of superstition, but because she feels danger in details most people overlook.

Calrien Voskerth
Human | 13 | He/Him
“WAAAIT WAIT WAIT! but what if- AHHHH”
Calrien moves through conversations with nervous sincerity, his thoughts spilling out in bursts that his words struggle to keep pace with.
He speaks while gesturing in looping circles, his hands constantly in motion as if trying to shape meaning out of the air. Too animated for his own good, he often stumbles over his own feet or knocks things aside mid-sentence, apologizing even as he keeps talking.
Despite the chaos, there’s nothing false about him — Calrien’s earnestness shines through every flailing gesture, making it clear he’s trying his best, even when his body refuses to cooperate.

Drunshael Yvaelis
Fae | 15 | She/Her
“Make sure to take a water break!”
Drunshael moves with a gentle, unyielding grace, walking as though she carries the weight of others’ burdens without ever letting them press her down.
Her fae nature lends her a naturally calming presence, one that settles frayed nerves and quiets unrest simply by being near.
She never speaks, not a single word, yet her silence is never empty. Instead, she offers comfort through action — a steady presence, a soft touch, and, when it’s needed most, a wordless hug that soothes more effectively than any spell or speech ever could.
───────── ⋆ ⋅ 𖤐 ⋅ ⋆ ──────────
Some say her hugs cure seasonal grief. No one dares test it too loudly.

Magic: Threads her own soul around others to protect or soothe them. Her presence warms rooms.
Soryn Velnarreth
Dragon-Kin | 17 | He/Him
“You just have to... Toughen up. Nobody else will fight for you."
Soryn carries an intense awareness of the people around him, reading emotional weather with an ease that can feel almost intrusive.
He’s apologetic by habit, quick to soften his presence when he senses discomfort, and disarmingly perceptive about things others try to hide. Charming and athletic, he moves with confidence that contrasts his careful emotional sensitivity.
Though he genuinely tries to be supportive, his kindness has limits — at the end of the day, Soryn has his own priorities, and he won’t sacrifice them entirely for anyone else. His warmth is real, but it’s measured, guided by an understanding of where care ends and self-preservation begins.

Magic: Channels violent spiritual currents into harmonic discharge. Dangerous, but clarifying.
Ivorcrest Thaelyn
Undead | 13 | She/Her
“Don't you feel it. . The dread?"
Ivorcrest speaks in a soft, poetic murmur, her presence difficult to fix in place, as though she drifts between tempos only she can note.
She moves carefully, hesitating at thresholds and corners, an eerie stillness settling over her when certain parts of the campus come into view.
Young, she carries a quiet fear she doesn’t dramatize, insisting that some places try to eat at her soul if she lingers too long. Her words are vague but sincere, and the unease she radiates feels learned rather than imagined. Ivorcrest doesn’t run from danger loudly — she simply steps around it, guided by instincts she trusts more than maps or reassurance.

Everessa Korrwyn
Fae | 17 | She/Her
“. . . Oh- Did you say something?"
Everessa commands attention without asking for it, imposing and brilliant in a way that feels entirely intentional.
Her eyes flicker with purpose, as if she’s always tracking something just beyond the present moment. Deeply self-aware, she knows exactly how she’s perceived and rarely bothers to correct it.
In conversation, she often forgets to respond at all, her silence mistaken for dismissal or arrogance, when in truth her mind is occupied by something far more complex than the exchange at hand. Everessa isn’t ignoring the world — she’s simply thinking on a scale most people never get to see.

Strain Name: Soultrace Burnscript Form
Magic: Etches fragments of her soul into rituals, creating anchoring points that pull her presence across space.
Rhy Vastem
Shifter | 14 | He/Him
“Stranger danger..."
Rhy speaks softly and moves with a quiet loyalty, treating landscapes with a reverence that borders on devotion.
Names slip from his memory easily, but he always tries his best to recall them in the moment, concentrating hard as if effort alone might pull them back.
There’s a slightly deceptive edge to him — not cruel, just cautious — and he watches strangers carefully before deciding how much of himself to show. Gentle by nature but not naïve, Rhy trusts places more than people, and his wariness feels learned rather than unkind.

Magic: Draws soul stability from natural landmarks, using place-memory as anchor.
Iska Nymeir
Elf | 18 | She/Them
“Ah ah ah! I said no."
Iska carries a steady, calming presence that seems to ease tension the moment she enters a room. Conversations soften around her, tempers cool, and even restless energy settles without her needing to intervene.
It’s said she has met some of the academy’s most sacred figures, privy to knowledge few others will ever touch.
Yet she guards those truths with absolute restraint, never letting them slip past her tongue. Iska knows far more than she reveals, and her quiet composure makes it clear that silence, for her, is a deliberate and powerful choice.

Magic: Absorbs group emotions and redistributes calm or courage through aura pulses.
Moir Caelethryn
Demonoid | 16 | They/Them
“Once upon a time. . . there were a few cursed students!"
Moir moves through the academy with animated flair, narrating other people’s lives as if they’re characters in a story only they can see. Philosophical and unapologetically theatrical, they comment on moments as they unfold, sometimes predicting emotions before they surface.
There’s something undeniably creepy about their presence — not quiet or lurking, but loud, sudden, and impossible to ignore.
Moir has a habit of appearing when least expected, voice already mid-monologue, as though they were always meant to be there. Whether observer or instigator is never quite clear, but one thing is certain: once Moir starts narrating, it’s hard to shake the feeling that you’ve been noticed.
