It's all good. and that list is the "small list" of what they have... that's what I could think up for classes if there is anything else you can think of feel free to throw it up in here or as a character. ^^

Ah, I thought that this might be the case, but I just wanted to be sure. I'm sure that we'll see a lot of interesting subjects at this school :)

EDIT: <blockquote class='quote_blockquote'><dl><dt>Custom Curriculum for VITO SERPELLS</dt><dd>&nbsp;</dd></dl><div>ASTROBIOLOGY - the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe.
ASTROGEOLOGY - the study of celestial bodies and the processes by which they are shaped and changed.
EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY - the study of evolution of life.
ECOLOGY - the study of the relation of living organisms to each other and their surroundings.
PARASITOLOGY - the study of parasites, their hosts, and the relationship between them.
VIROLOGY - the study of of viruses and virus-like agents.
XENOBIOLOGY - the study of extraterrestrial life or life beyond this world.

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU HAVE ONE SUBJECT REMAINING[/quote]
The Serpells family sure have picked some interesting subjects for Vito to study&#33; I decided to keep descriptions simple for now because I felt that going into any great detail on eight subjects would be a real pain and far too much for most people to read.

If there are any problems with my character being enrolled in any of these subjects (or with him being enrolled in 8 subjects altogether) please let me know and I'll change it.

That is fine, it'll be a Day 1 and Day 2 sequence for the highschool where classes alternate days all except the mainstream English, math, and social studies. Also: Can everyone list what they are in here so that I can make possible time table ideas for when the classes might actually happen. Please and Thank You.

<blockquote class='quote_blockquote'><dl><dt>Updated Curriculum for VITO SERPELLS</dt><dd>&nbsp;</dd></dl><div>ASTROBIOLOGY - the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe.

I hope that there are no problems with my latest post. For those of you who've yet to read it, I've had a character slip through whatever magical defences Magic Tech High may have to influence Vito and make him choose Shamanism as his final subject.

Without knowing what kinds of defences there are I will say that there are a few reasons as to why this character may have been able to get to Vito.
1. It was never actually in the school or even the school grounds, but was just outside of the boundaries.
2. It had no intention of killing, maiming or otherwise harming students.
3. It used a very subtle combination of magic and mindspeak, nothing big or flashy, and only targeted a single student for less than a minute, then stopped completely.
4. See spoiler tags if you really want to know the fourth and final reason, but it's a fairly big spoiler for the plot that I have planned for Vito.<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">Without giving too much away, this character is genetically related to Vito and identifiable as a member of the Serpells family. If it was ever scanned it is far more likely that this character would be identified as a visiting family member rather than a threat.</div>

I decided to mention that this character set of some kind of alarms because I felt that it was only fair. I figure that the most that the school could know about this is as follows:
<blockquote class='quote_blockquote'><dl><dt>Security Report</dt><dd>&nbsp;</dd></dl><div>Somebody came close to, but not into, the school grounds to use some variety of magic to try and secretly communicate with Vito Serpells, a first year student. Security footage indicates that this person was carefully disguised with a robe and a mask. <div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">Scanners reveal that this person appears to be genetically similar and possibly related to Vito Serpells.</div> This person either is or is pretending to be a part of a group that Vito Serpells is also a part of or a part of Vito Serpells himself. The conversation was very much one sided, as Vito Serpells does not appear to know how to mindspeak, and went as follows:
<blockquote class='quote_blockquote'><dl><dt>Mindspeak Transcript</dt><dd>&nbsp;</dd></dl><div><small>At 00:00, ??? said: Hey, what about your extra subject?
At 00:06, ??? said: Ahhh, don't jump about like that, somebody will notice and think that this is strange.
At 00:08, ??? said: Relax, we're just thinking. We're in a stressful state of mind at the moment, right? Pretty difficult to know who to trust when our family is forcing us to enrol in this strange school, and now these subjects? Maaaaaan, what is up with that?
At 00:20, ???: It's not like we can't trust any of them though. We just need to think outside of the box a little... This subject should help. We should pick this subject. This One.
Mindspeak conversation ended at approximately 00:33.</small>[/quote]
The person mindspeaking appeared to be using some kind of influencing or possibly even mind-altering magic towards the end of the conversation, and shortly after this Vito Serpells altered his curriculum to include Shamanism.[/quote]
I don't expect that the school would be able to pick up on all of that, but I won't be upset if they do considering that I've kind of bent the powerplaying rules a bit in my last post. I've also been quite careful to ensure that there is little that anybody can do. Vito will not change his mind if confronted about this, believing the voice to be a part of himself, and will quickly become distrustful of the school and/or his family if either of them confront him about it multiple times.

What if the confrontation is more in a curious way than a way to make him change it? Ie: whatcha taking..oh.. why that?

Kinda more of a curiosity thing from other students than a rude:

You shouldn't be taking that...

Well, Rose went to bed, and kinda gave up on that schedule. But, I decided to twist and organize things until they fit. And then I splurged on basic image editing to show off my arrogant egocentricity.

((I would have made the purple around 'genius' flash, if I wanted to waste the time to animate it.))

Image

((And if you have more than 8 classes, than you also have to take "Chronomancy". Because it just won't fit. Or they're one of those 'study at your own pace' or 'study at home' classes. Or one of those 'trans-I-can't-think-of-what-that-word-is-because-it's-6:30-AM-and-I-haven't-slept-yet' classes.

Well, I would say just make Paolas Computer class one of those extras that you spend an extra half an hour after school doing, but... suddenly I'm interested in seeing how Chronomancy would work with these lessons :P.

If it is too difficult to work out though just go with the simplest thing :P

The class 'Chronomancy' is also taught by Professor 'Scroo Hyuu'. :P

In reality though, there is no chronomancy class. xD

And yeah, computer class could be a after-school program or something
