An
interview with Arion, the new Headmaster
Paladorion:
What are your plans for the Shadow Academy?
Arion: First on the list of things to do is to tear down the old
Academy building, so we can build something a bit more aesthetically
pleasing. The old
building just seems so very....run down.
Arion: :P
Paladorion: Hehe, is it true that angry novices destroyed the
building when there tests weren't graded on time?
Arion: no no. that
had nothing to do with it at all.
though those 'angry novices' are still in the process of
rebuilding my laboratory. They
learned the hard way not to mess with things they did not understand. I doubt too many of them will every pick up the study of Sith
Alchemy now. Pity.
Paladorion: Have you ever thought about using them for testing
purpoces?
Arion: What do you take me for?
Some weak-hearted Light Jedi?
Not only have I thought about it, I've done it!!!
Arion: what's the good of having so many test subjects at your
disposal if you don't use at least a few of them?
Paladorion: Totally true... (*finally understands why he saw
creatures wearing novice robes with purple skins*)
Paladorion: What is the second point on your agenda?
Arion: after rebuilding the Academy (and those purple skinned
ones weren't my work, incidentally.
i prefer to give red or blue tones to my experiments....but I
digress)
Paladorion: yeah, after the rebuilding
Arion: as I was saying, after rebuilding the Academy, I am
planning to completely revamp all of the Courses currently offered at
the Academy. I think
we're letting our students off much too easily at this time, and that
needs to be corrected.
Paladorion: What is going to happen to the order studies?
Arion: the Order Studies program will remain mostly intact.
We have plans to expand it actually, to provide more
instruction to our students. After
all, the more instruction that's available to them, the longer we have
them in the classroom...or the laboratory.
Paladorion: or the testing center
Paladorion: is the graduation rank going to change? I would
love to see blue skinned Guardians. :)
Arion: or there.....but the Laboratory is really the most
important place for the subjects...I mean....students to be.
Paladorion: heh
Arion: no no. Graduates
will still only hold the rank of Novice.
They'll have to work through their various mutations with House
and Clan leaders to be promoted further.
Paladorion: ah, ok
Paladorion: What will the new SA building look like?
Arion: I'm not quite sure yet.
We've had several Imperial Architects present plans for the new
building, but none of them have appealed to me.
And now we're running out of Architects.....though I have had a
new source of test subjects lately....
Paladorion: Is it true that you have been trying to create a
new sort of Massassi, warped out of... architects?
* Arion wonders where all of these stupid rumors get started from.
Paladorion: I just heard it somewhere... so it isn't true?
Arion: The Massassi were a fierce warrior race descended from
the original Sith race. Why
in the name of the Force would I try to recreate them from ARCHITECTS
of all things?!?!?!?!
Paladorion: The ways of the Dark Jedi are mysterious...
Arion: They're really not. We're usually surprisingly straightforward with our goals....
Arion: Galactic Domination.....Civil Uprising....it's all very
simple and to-the-point.
Paladorion: heh
Paladorion: have you already choosen a staff?
Arion: i have, but they're still recuperating from the
initial....interview....process.
I shall be announcing my staff once they are fully recovered.
Paladorion: ok. About how much courses will be there once the
remake of the SA is completed?
Arion: that has not yet been completely determined.
I'm still pushing through the initial drafts of the proposed
changes to the SA. Once I'm satisfied, the final draft will have to be approved
by the Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master before it can be
implemented.
Paladorion: ok, I think that was about it
Paladorion: thanks for your time. :)
Arion: np
Arion:
:)
