#and that joel and shubble are shorter than average

[kiwibirbkat]

My idea for esmp2 highschool!

The highschool is for magic and anything associated with it. Witches, creatures, gods, all are welcome here.

The world has no overall authority and is full of tons of different kingdoms. The biggest authority is actually the school they all go to

Shubble:

A witch (obviously)

Went to the Academy for elementary and middle school

All witches are sent out to the regular world to test their competence and responsibility before they return to the Academy for college and getting their magic license

Shubble currently has what is essentially a magic learners permit (they can do small spells and potions, NO MAJOR SPELLS)

Academy provides them with a small fund for housing (and, for the first month, food (you are expected to either grow/conjure your own food or get a job to buy your own after the first month))

Stayed in a very small room in one of Dawn's taverns so she could afford to buy food with the fund at first, goes and builds her hut in the mangrove forest after they were kicked out of the Academy because she can't afford to stay in the tavern and can't be tracked (nobody but Shubble has gone into the mangrove and come back out again, so she's left mostly alone)

She is stressed af because they still made the villagers and now has to deal with getting kicked from the Academy, being a high schooler, AND taking care of the villagers

The Academy actually doesn't give a shit, Shubble is just incredibly paranoid and ran away after the first few letters reminding them to come back

And of course! Tortoise is their familiar still

Joel:

Still a god

Was raised by Saint Pearl but she kicked him out for being an annoying teen

Literally just 16

Still lives in one of his temples and is taken care of by the villagers that worship him

Has access to basically everything he did before (Pearl isn't cruel, she just got tired of his whining)

6'11 and still growing

WANTS a beard, it simply WILL NOT GROW!

Lizzy:

Was someone's familiar at the Academy before getting hit by a spell gone wrong (was supposed to temporarily turn her human, it ended up permanently turning her into an anthropomorphic cat)

Literally just has a box on her head with her humansona glued to it and eye holes cut out

Lives in her own house outside of any of the kingdoms jurisdiction because not many people like to settle next to the smog of Gobland so it is quite literally free real estate

Was going to start Animalia but she couldn't get the spell that happened to her to happen again

Does not have Ariana Goate, she is her own celebrity with no affiliation to this random high schooler

Sausage:

His king has not turned evil yet!

Just lives the life he lived in the flashback but goes to highschool

Is only at the school because he can talk to animals

Also, he still has a beard! Joel, the god, only has a stubble, but this man just has a full beard because Eddie is a rabbit man and didn't teach him to shave

Katherine:

A princess! Her parents are really strict, monster hunting is her rebellion

Swears she shouldn't be at the school, because she's not magic in any way!

Cursed.

Really really buff but hides it with flowy sleeves and long skirts on her dress

Lives in the kingdom she did before she started GlimmerGlove (obviously, it's her parents kingdom)

Joey:

After their ship got attacked, he washed up

Seeing him screeching about a living skeleton, he was thrown into the school for technically having an association with magic

Due to a combination of never having education, ADHD, dyslexia, and dyscalculia (and generally not caring), he is very much struggling in school

Katherine was assigned to tutor him for being an all A student

He saw her roll up her sleeves one time and got a crush

Not "piratesexual" just pan with an attraction to strength and power

Lives on the ship that he built himself

Gem and fWhip:

Still twins, Gem just got really lucky with her genes

Both part human and part goblin

Gem is slightly shorter than average with a very light green tint to her skin, slightly bigger canines, and pointier ears

FWhip is literally just a little taller then the average goblin with slightly softer ears

FWhip lives with his mom (the queen of Gobland) and Gem lives with her dad (the king of Dawn)

Their birth finally lowered tension between Gobland and Dawn! They were only born because they had been at war before their parents got married at 18, which technically stopped the war, but the people of Dawn and Gobland were still very aggressive and tense before the twins birth

False:

Amnesiac still

Lives in the forest that she randomly woke up in one day?

Built her own house and decided to start mining iron to build machines

Some type of hybrid, but got her wings ripped off somehow, so they don't know what type

Pix:

A phantom hybrid

Lives with his parents technically, but they aren't home often

Still obsessed with history

Jimmy:

A toy that magically came to life!

A sheriff

Has Tumble Town because nobody wanted to live in the Mesa

He's the only one in Tumble Town other than his cat and his horse

Only the law in this land, he just ignores that.

Scott:

Has no parents

Adventured for most of his life before finally settling down

Technically has Chromia but all of his "citizens" are llamas

He just wanted an excuse to build cute buildings and gardens

His great great great great (lots of greats) ancestors were elves, which is why he's in the school (that and his magic eye)

Oli:

From another universe

Climbed into the heavens for a dare because he got really reckless after his close friend died

Got bored immediately and jumped down

Just a normal guy. Only in the school because he literally fell from the sky

Never got arrested by fWhip

Homeless outside of his tent. Insists it's a kingdom called the Olipeligo

The other empires (concerned) keep offering to buy him a house or something but he insists he's fine in the Olipeligo

Hermes is Joel's childhood toy that came to life somehow after he got kicked out. He just got attached to Sausage, so now Joel and Sausage are teen dads that co-parent him

I personally feel its important for everyone to know that aquatians are significantly taller than humans.

[prismadog]

okay, I think I got a rough outline of everyone's heights. I'm gonna break the characters up to make it easier to read, also gonna add a couple headcanons here & there just because I can.

Xornoth: 6'7" [demon, corrupted elf] Scott: 6'10", 24' wingspan [winged elf]

* Xornoth is the older sibling (obviously) * I thought maybe 7' was too tall so I made Scott a few inches shorter. * Xornoth is a few inches shorter because I had the idea that he was over-compensating for something with those fancy new horns of his

Lizzie: 7'6" (human) 12'6" (mer) [merfolk] Jimmy: 7'0" (human) 12'0" (mer) [merfolk]

* Lizzie is the eldest by at least 5 years * I think Jimmy's height might change again to make him at least a full foot shorter than Lizzie, but idk. * Lizzie, my thought was "GiAnT wOmAn~". * and then a few feet added whenever they change into their more aquatic form which includes their legs having tails

Joel: 5'8" [human?]

* this is supposedly Joel's irl height so I decided to keep that but I might change it to make him a bit taller, idk. * I kinda like the major height difference between hc!Joel and hc!Lizzie * also, Joel might be full human, might not be, idk

Gem: 5'11" [human?] fWhip: 5'10", 22' wingspan [human?]

* twins just because, though Gem is several minutes older * thought with the heights was a reference to Gravity Falls where Mabel is a whole one inch taller than Dipper. * Gem & fWhip might be human but they might not be. perhaps they started out human but were transformed - Gem into some crystal conduit for her magic and fWhip into a gargoyle/dragon hybrid for the redstone corruption

Sausage: 5'0" [dwarf] Joey: 5'8", 22' wingspan [parrot avian]

* XorXor's minions because hey, Xor is a demon and doesn't need friends but he does need minions to worship him * Sausage is a dwarf so he's fairly short. got this hc idea from @a-very-tired-tutorbot I love this headcanon so much because Sausage screams short-person-energy * Joey, I was going to make taller but I thought nah cause he's a bird-person and it would make sense for him to be a bit smaller

Pixl: 6'0" [human? demigod?]

* he's just a man, an average man who can see the deaths of those around him as they happen. * or is he a demigod? maybe he's been blessed by Lady Death? who knows? * he's def a prophet tho because hey, the man can see death

Shubble/Shrub: 4'3" [gnome] Katherine: 5'4", 11' wingspan [faery] Pearl: 6'2" [harvest guardian?]

* nature girls~ * Shrub is canon height so I didn't change that and Katherine is just average female height * my thoughts on Pearl was that a farmer made a scarecrow to ward off pesky birds, the farmer put so much heart and soul into making it that it became imbued with magic of the farmer's land. over time, the scarecrow began to change and was gifted Life and given the title "Guardian of the Harvest". the farmer named their new Guardian "Pearl" because idk

I wanna draw some fanart of the Empires characters but I dunno how tall they are

does anyone have a rough estimate of the characters' heights?

I know Shubble is 4 foot something? since she's a gnome

then the characters like Scott (elf), Jimmy (fish boy), Lizzie (fish/axolotl girl?), and Xornoth (demon) would be taller than average height. right?

and more human characters like fWhip, Gem, Sausage, Joel, Pixlriffs, Katherine, Pearl, and Joey would be average humanish height. right?
