Single. I like long walks on the beach, cozy afternoons in a large armchair with Crysynthe blend tea, a cat, and a good book. No one bloody cares.
This is a board for you to not follow my example. Establish relationships between your fellow PCs (meaning the student) here. This is under the presumption that your student-characters have known each other for approximately one year now. They would have been training together, eating together, sharing life goals, playing chess, et. cetera, et. cetera, et. cetera.
Students should not have officially been allowed to kill during this year (against the old ways), but if their mentors made an exception that is up to the discretion of the player.
Feel free to bounce around ideas and mini conversations. GM can approve anything you want canonized later on.
Please work on establishing friendships or at the very least functional relationships. By functional I mean a business relationship - hate someone all you want, but by the gods be able to hold a civil conversation with them or at the very least carry out missions with them. The GM informs me that I am a prime example of this dysfunctional functional relationship - huzzah.
Also, by GM request, please work on developing some sort of ideal behind being an assassin. Perhaps you wish to uphold justice, perhaps you wish to even the playing field, or perhaps you're a bloody mental fundamentalist Cashemerian who feels compelled by his religion. I do not really care. Just so long as the answer is not "cause being an assassin is awesome" or "it's all I can do". Even sociopaths can have more hobbies than murdering people.
I digress.
Talk. Play. Figure out who you like, dislike, or what everyone knows about one another thus far.
Prologue and Main Game to ensue after you whiners finish finals.
Edit
Example: Discuss what the other characters would know about your character from a year of living with them. Character A has hobbies such as writing, horseback riding, and swimming. Player B notices similarities with their character and can state a desire that their PC bonded with Character A over their love of horses. They then proceed to write a scene to establish this (if they wish). Try to state an overarching summary of what the others would know in addition to hobbies, goals, family, etc. The purpose of this board is to establish links and bonds between characters so that they are ideally already acting cohesively at the start of the game. Thanks.

You are right!
So after a year everyone would know that Kai's a nerd about swords, loves to talk and question, likes sunlight and freedom, and has no family. He gets bored with board games but loves action packed strategy games like variations on capture the flag, tag, and martial arts sparring.

You all would know that she likes any type of farm work for she grew up on a farm with her late grandparents. She enjoys learning new things. This world has so much to learn from!!!
She also enjoys martial arts and sparring if it's hand to hand. Loves to work and be useful, can't sit still for too long or else will grab something to do!
She isn't too thrilled with higher society. Thinks they need to "share the wealth or suffer the wrath of the people".

Viasio is a bit of an unnerving person. He likes to talk - a lot - but tends to be a bit... intense when talking to a fellow student. He asks obtuse questions and occasionally seems vaguely threatening before going back to his usual laid-back, casual demeanor. It doesn't help that he is frighteningly quiet when he wants to be.
You'd swear the kid is half monkey. He tends to always be in some strange, spidery pose that would be painful for most people - whether hanging from a tree by one leg or crouched froglike on a rock with his knees by his head.
Most other students wouldn't quite know what he does with his spare time beyond pestering other people, though he does seem to show an interest in stories, songs, and games. He appears lazy, if left to his own devices. Despite this, he will sometimes train for days with single-minded determination. He is a middling fighter, likely behind Rose and Kai at hand-to-hand combat.
It is unlikely he has any close friends, but he tries to avoid making enemies.
He sure eats a lot of candied nuts. Where the hell does he even get them?

Abrus is stoic and hard to hold a conversation with. Left to his own devices he wouldn't ever interact with the other kids. His mentor "persuades" him otherwise. His demeanor is quite and calculative, perhaps someone has bonded with him over games of chess?
He's very intelligent and prefers strategy and planning over bullrushing. Not like he could bullrush, out of all the students he's likely the weakest physically. But he makes up for this by his vast knowledge of herbs and toxins. Using these he makes some nasty mixtures. He's also been known to make drugs. Hard drugs. You gotta make a living somehow.
In his spare time, when he's not absolutely wrapped up in his work, he can be found reading or playing chess or any variety of strategy games. He's quite good at them. He would say the best.
He probably should eat more, sometimes he forgets.

"Have you ever considered... enhancing your sword... You could raise the damage you do exponentially by applying a toxin to your blade... If you want I guess." He fumbles with his fingers and looks down. Why does he even bother? |

"I don't believe I'm aware of that... particular narcotic... Besides, you appear to be uh, strung up enough as it is." He gives a small chuckle. "I don't sell to... associates. It would be most... unprudent." |

He laughs and flips his posture, hanging now by his knees and looking directly down at Abrus's work area. "Strung up? Like a rope, ey? Toen! You're funnier than I thought." He chuckles again, a wide grin creeping across his face. "The bloody gums. Rusty powder. Badspit. Intate? Red powder, rub it in the mouth and have fun. Ei. Just curious, apothecary." His smile broadens, unnervingly wide and toothy. "Wondered if you ever saw an intarenne like that on the streets. Pretty bad to get close, ei." |

He meets his eyes while on hand reaches under his desk and holds onto a vial he has stored in a small secret compartment. "If that's the case you probably shouldn't be saddled by something like that. It would probably bode poorly for our organization... and especially your mentor." |
