The Hell Hounds of Bristle Crios Academy

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xhgKO49ej3E/TF-Kdiu9t1I/AAAAAAAAAFc/4dUOU4X078k/s1600/demon_wolf.jpg

The Academy of Bristle Crios's official mascot is the Hell Hound. Rooted in the Irish tradition of the Hound of Ulster. A symbol of protection, strength, and dedication.

Deep in the misty lush hills of Ireland, Culann the smith lived. His house was protected by a ferocious watchdog that none dared challenge. Fur as black as coal and eyes the burned red with the fires of hell. It's howl could render the forest silent.

One day, Culann invited the King of Ulster and his royal party to a feast at his house. On the way, King Conchobar saw his young nephew playing hurling (a game involving the tossing of massive logs). The King was so impressed, he invited his nephew to join him at the feast. The young lad eager to impress is uncle and king agreed and told him he would come once the game was over.

The feast began and Culann asked King Conchobar if he was expecting anyone else. The king, who had forgotten about his nephew, answered no and Culann unleashed his watchdog.

When the young man arrived he faced the ferocious creature. The battle between the youth and hound was an extreme test of both strength and skill. In the end he killed Culann's watchdog. Feeling terrible for defeating such a strong and dedicated creature he offered to take its place until a replacement guardian could be found. Yet never such a fearsome creature was seen again and the epic battle it waged could not be matched by any man or beast.

From this legend the Academy colors of Red and Black are born.

Black as the shadows of the Hell Hound's fur.

Red as the glow of the Hell Hound's eyes.

The Field Trips

I'll make this clear, when I give advice or make a rule, you need to follow it or I can't promise you'll be safe. And that's all there is to it. If you understand that, the rest should be easy.

The Rules 1. When on a trip, groups of 3 or more are a must. Deathly diseased, powers of a god, it does not matter. There are things out there that can and will kill you. 2. Ask before action. This will also save your life. I realize that you all have good judgement skills, but either I, or one of your chaperones, will know better. We've either learned of or experienced the dangers these places can hold, and we only want to keep you safe. 3. When in doubt, just don't do it. This one is a personal note on the list. If that glowing sword starts telling you it can instill you with ultimate power, and you've already gotten approval to touch the whole armory, just don't. If it seems wrong, it most likely is. 4. If you put any other students or the staff in danger, I will take you home and you will not be welcome on any other outings. Ever. Safety is not a joke, and it will not be treated as such.

With all that said, I hope we can have fun, and I hope to see you in my office. If you need to find it, just look for the blue door with the V. Don't mind the explosions or laughter, it's just me.

Class Name - "Of Sacrifice and Chaos; The lessons we never learned."

General Description - The class will have no grading scale, it is either pass or fail. At the end of the session, the final exam will be a recreated scenario from the Wars, kept entirely safe. Students will be projected into said scenario and given the freedom of choice. To pass, students will act in a way that shows they have learned the lessons that so many others never learned, or learned far too late. It will be difficult to fail, given that these lessons apply to so many in so many ways. There is no right decision for the world, there is a right decision for a person. Above all, I wish to teach the students about themselves, with the Pandemonium Wars and the history of said Wars as the backdrop for the education, both of the mind and the spirit.

What the class will consist of - Given my lineage, I am able to project my memories and emotions onto this physical plane. Through the study of individual scenes and scenarios from this time in history, we will study the tactics of the forces, the effects of the Wars in general, the choices that were made and the culture of both forces that fought in the Wars. We will study them from an objective standpoint. Remember there is no wrong and there is no right, each of those is far too subjective to have a true and finite answer. Circumstances will be given study, as will the fact that often, creatures act a certain way because they have no other choice. There will be no wrong answers, there will be no right answers.

There will be several field trips to the Pandemonium Gates themselves and other sites of little known, but very important events and battles. I will accompany the students and they will be taken care of. I assure you that there is very few creatures in either plane that could, or would threaten me. If there is a situation, I will remain on the Pandemonium Gates and the student will be transported back to the Bristle Crios Academy.

General Rules for the Class.

1. I, at all times, welcome suggestions and input. I am not your master, I am simply here to expand your minds.

2. That being said, my decisions are always final. This is for the safety of the students. There are things that can, and will, do you immense harm, and I will not allow carelessness to bring that fate upon anyone.

3. On the field trips, you will follow all of my orders to the letter. Again, this is for your safety. I will be taking the students to the very gates of Hell. There are risks with that, I understand. So long as the students accept the fact that I can, and will, provide support in any way, there will be no issue.

4. I also ask that students show respect to me and to each other. There is no right or wrong in this subject. Each opinion is valued and needed, each lesson should be told as it is learned. This will better all of us, myself included. You will learn from me, but I will be ashamed if I do not learn from you as well.

(Link to the forum post based around this class is : http://rdi.dragonsmark.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p= 165688#165688. OF course, the class, and that thread, is always open to anyone.)

General Literary Analysis and Interpretation

Course objective: To foster an appreciation of the noble art of literature as a social critic. This course is intended not as an instruction, but a forum for the free exchange of ideas in regards to life, the universe, and everything. And the answer will never be 42.

Schedule: The class will meet every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Attendance is compulsory—skip or attend as you choose.

The format of the class is a large discussion group about texts Ripper will assign. These texts are assigned once discussion about the previous text has been completed.

The first text assigned is the classic short story by H.P. Lovecraft, "The Shadow Over Innsmouth."

Expectations: Students are required to participate in the discussion to the best of their ability.

Students, if they choose to participate, are expected to write a minimum 3000 word essay describing their interpretation of the assigned text, stating an argument, and defending it based on textual evidence and outside, scholarly research. These essays are due two weeks after discussion is finished, and students are encourage to make use of the library in their research attempts.

A student must be competent in the usage of grammar, and Ripper does offer private literacy tutorials to help the student learn language better.

Further note: There is really no passing or failing grade in this class. Ripper will continuously teach these things until it is time to take a hiatus, at which point the class will be dismissed until such time as his return.

The mun also encourages everybody to read these texts themselves and present their ideas to the group. I only ask that you keep in mind the basic rules of conduct on the RDI, and that nobody. Will ever. Take offense to the ideas presented. Remember, interpretation and argument is objective, not personal. Please don't make it personal.

Lesson Update: All new readings will be posted at the bottom of Ripper's profile page.

Dark Art Defense

Class Room: The one at the end of the Mage Hall. Right by the Library! On the first floor! There's no windows so expect it to be a little stuffy, and it will be kept dimly lit by candle light.

There will be no quizzes except for the final exam! All grades will be given by skill-level alone! Meaning, if you suck at breaking out of mine body-puppet hex, you're most likely going to fail that part of the class!

Dark Art Defense is simple! It teaches you how not to be a useless witch, wizard, or whatever you want to call yourself. It means you can stare down a stupid Succubus and send her straight back to the nether after counter spelling her seduce! ( Though I suggest you don't...I did it once and the succubus started doing weird things at me. It was unpleasant! )

Expect many group activities! This is a hands on class. You will be slinging curses, hexes, and other nasty things at one another to better prepare you for the outside world!

Each week consists of 3 days. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Week 1 - 2 Hex Breaking

Week 3 - 4 Curse Mending

Week 5 - 6 Spell Jamming & Counter Spells

Week 7 Illusion Break & Shattering Needed Literature: Is that ten foot spider in front of me real or just a figment of my imagination" by El-ron J Wizardbottom.

Week 8 Mystical Creatures & Why Their Blood is Useful Needed Literature: 101 Ways to use Dragon's Blood for Anti-Magic purposes by Jeferri Green

Week 9 Final Review & Exam

Necromancy Advanced Studies: Chaos Nether Manipulation & Blood Magic

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120403011730/creepypasta/images/0/0a/Ustino-necronomicon-2.jpg

Each week consists of 2 days. Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Get ready to get down and dirty! Real dirty...I suggest you bring a shovel for this class because the only way to get attached to a corpse you want to raise is to dig it up yourself!

Extra Benefits from the Class: Copies of the Arcane Tomes found within the Tower of Earth on the Twilight Isle.

These tomes teach much of earth manipulation which will help in creating noxious poisons and unearthing vile creatures that may be hidden away deep, deep underground. The deader, the better! Because this class will teach you to bring them into glorious unlife!

Tests will come in the form of corpse combat! Each student will be instructed to command their risen creatures to attack one another! You will be graded on.

1: Stamina of both Mage & Summoned Creature 2: Brutality 3: Imagination! Example: Sewing four corpses together to make an undead human-spider-thing" You'll be getting an A++! 4: Control

There are two Advanced Classes that branch off Necromancy once you complete the proper rituals. These are Chaos Nether Manipulation & Blood Magic.

Chaos Nether Manipulation Raising, binding, and keeping your undead creations under your control is the first step! Manipulating the Daemons from the Netherworld is the next! In this advanced class you will be taught to summon the creatures of the dark abyss and use them for your own benefits.

This class will take place during the third hour of the AM, Friday.

Blood Magic The Blood Magic of X'guth! The best type of magic! Details will be kept in private and shared with students who show themselves as willing and able to learn such fierce and forbidden magics.

Times for this class will be on a Need to Know Basis.

Broom Flying Aka, "How to look cool on a Broom"

The only good Witch is a Witch who knows how to fly on a broom! Classes will take place each morning at 7 AM, Monday - Friday ( I DO NOT WORK ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS! ) and will last an hour! You will learn basic flight to advance maneuvers as time goes on.

The meeting place for this class will take place on the Sports Fields outside of the Academy.

I advise you to bring your own brooms, though the school will provide any to those who are deemed "needing".

This class has no tests! You may come and go at your own pace. There is no age limit. Except if you're a baby. But why would you fly on a broom if you're a baby' You can't even walk!

Katana Forging

The Ancient Method

Instructor: Master Weapons Maker - Aristotle Kruger Allen

A fifteen week hands on class in the ancient method of making the Katana. This course will include the creation of Tamahagani Steel through the use of the Japanese Tatara kiln. It will guide students through proper selection of the metals as well as pattern welding via folding techniques. Students will also learn the art of creating the Katana through time honored methods.

Participants of this course will be graded on the weapon created, that weapon will belong to the student at the completion of the course. Any additional fees for this class are used for the purchase of tools and materials. Neither the Academy of Bristle Crios nor Master Allen retains any profit. (Minors are accepted to this class with written permission from the attending student's parent or guardian.)

Week 1: Creating through use of the Tatara Kiln and selecting the proper pieces of steel. (Selection of Tamahagani is graded. The chosen steel will be inspected by the instructor for quality, the student will be required to answer why they chose as they did. There are no failing grades as those needing to select again will be given more instruction until the proper quality is achieved.)

Week2-3: Deciding on your design and the use of proper folding techniques using ancient tools. (The designs are aesthetic in nature and won't be graded. The folding process will be explained and demonstrated for those attending. Students will be observed in their method, and corrected in process.)

Week 4-5: Creating the heart of the Katana. (Individual methods will be looked at and chosen. There is no wrong selection, the method chosen though should be adhered to. Difficulty level of different methods will be taken into consideration. Changing methods is possible provided the student informs the instructor.)

Week 6-7: Shaping the blade and proper hardening procedure through the use of specially blended clays. Creating the Haman, and giving the blade its soul. (This process will be demonstrated, with an incorporated lecture of how it is done and why it is important. The instructor will observe each student individually in this stage, giving advice and aid as needed.)

Week 8-9: Determining blade quality and the first polishing. (Graded pass/fail. A viable fighting weapon will be graded as a pass, anything less must be called a failure as the use of it would endanger the user. The instructor has offered private sessions at the shop Kruger's Exotic. Students who manage to create on second attempts will be advanced with a passing grade.)

Week 10-12: Techniques of the hand polisher, or togishi. (Cuts to the polisher are common and this should be taken into account before signing up. The use of polishing stones and methods of bringing out the haman will be demonstrated. The instructor will be working along with students. They are encouraged to observe and ask questions.)

Week 13-14: Techniques of the mountings maker or sayashi. (Creating the hand guard will be part of this process. Those whose design has incorporated an intricate nature will be making those in this two week session. The final result will be compared to the original design. Modifications will be subjected to explanations.)

Week 15: Testing the Katana's cutting capability. (This test, once done on the corpses of criminals, will be performed on straw bound in a way to emulate the use of corpses. The sword will have the classification of how many straw "corpses" it cuts in a single stroke.)
