So if you graduate, you can still rp as your current pc and have another one as a new first year?
When you graduate and your character becomes an adult, you don't get an ability AND stats anymore each year. You must choose between +5 stats or an ability.

But yes, when you graduate, you get to keep your current PC as an adult in the Adult System and make a new first-year character! We call them "second gens". I've been around since 2020, so Aly is about to graduate, and my new firstie should show up in early July as soon as Aly is officially a graduate!

Aly Salinger wrote: 25 May 2026, 18:47 hello let's chat! i have a question for you all: what abilities are you thinking of getting for your character next year? remember that with graduation coming up you'll all be eligible for more stat points and a new ability (unless you're a special race in an odd year ofc)!
I'm between the martial artist or evasive maneuvers. I need her to be a good duellist, but also a GREAT fighter bc of her alter ego and stuff...
Both of those are great! I think EM has more widespread appeal because it's great in pretty much any sport, but Martial Artist is a really fun ability and can definitely still help in sports as well as giving your character some great flavor!

OH MY GOD YOU DO CROSSFIT TOO???? OMG IWUFIBV I NEED TO TALK ABT IT, I'M DOING IT ON FRIDAY AT MY BOX, HOW'D IT GO?????
WAIT THATS ACTUALLY SO SO COOL!!!!! My parents do a lot more than me(not disclosing my full age but I’m a teenager), but I still work out like 5 times a week plus I play volleyball! I think the 2 days I don’t do are the days I have church lol! But the workout went really well! I modified it(biked the first mile, did some different workouts than the actual ones because of some injuries/health conditions I have, then walk/jog/sprinted the last mile), but I feel so so tired!!! I just showered so hopefully I stop sweating soon!
OH MY SO COOL!!!

Well, I'm glad of u girlie. I have my hopes up this year, teenager too, but last year I was new at all and I did it in the lowest level and didn't even finished it, it got me soooo mad, but this year I evolved, I can do all the workouts AAAAND I GOT A NEW VEST!!! I've been training all week, 5 days since the last year, so I really hope I'll be able to finish it at least :yes:, wish me luck!!

I have a random thing where no matter how hard the workout is, I don't sweat that much. I also have a certain disgust of sweating, ironic, so I also hope you stop sweating soon lol
Ahhhh yesss!!! I'm sorry you couldn't finish last year, but I believe in you! I know you'll do amazing. Also, the new vest is amazing!!!!! Training will definitely help, I know you'll do amazing!!!!!!!

That's interesting! I usually do, but never horribly. My sister has the same thing, where her eyes always water whenever she sees sweat, it's strange!

I am so excited to bring her about. Her name is Kahira and she's @Blaize Valerian's little sister (the fun of having second gens means that us old folk can actually create relations before making the characters)! I am hoping for Hufflepuff, but I think she could work well in any House and it'll be fun to write her no matter what! I will definitely post an RPG request when I've got her settled because I love my current RP partners and all the elder folks who have been here with me for a while, but I'm also very excited to be able to RP with a lot of the younger years who are newer to the site. Right now, RPing with the first- and second-years means a lot of mentor threads, which are fun but not as fun as same-age threads!

Be careful what you say please!
Why
