BlackNovember

**BlackNovember**, also shortened to **November**, is a character in *Magical Girl Policy*. He appears in the "Call It A Knight" vignette after being mentioned in "Round Object Enthusiasts". Prior to graduating from Schuyler Adamson University two years ago, he was the video gaming officer of the college's nerd club SFEERS, preceding SaltStorm. He was also an active player in the Knights of the Spherical Table, the club's *Aspect Realms* guild. He remained in the guild after graduation, but it's implied he was later removed for his troublemaking behavior. "BlackNovember" is merely his online handle, and his real name has not been stated.

## Appearance

BlackNovember's voice is described as nasally, and he often speaks in a condescending tone, though his tone changes to sweeter one when the possibility of suffering consequences for his actions appears.

## Personality

BlackNovember is immature and passive-aggressive. He likes to inflame others to entertain himself, all while denying responsibility when confronted about it. This leads to him being generally unpopular, though he has a group of friends that have learned to ignore his antics. He is described as a typical internet know-it-all who assumes he is correct and everyone agrees with him, though he becomes much more polite in the presence of authority. He is competitive and likes to play video games such as *Aspect Realms*, and was SFEERS's video gaming officer.

## Biography

### Background

At some point during his time as a student at SAU, BlackNovember was elected the video gaming officer of SFEERS, the school's nerd club, after running unopposed. In "Round Object Enthusiasts", set two years prior to the start of *Magical Girl Policy*, SFEERS president Esper remarks how he recently had to reprimand November for once again inciting arguments on the club forums. Esper and OmniDrive express relief that November will graduate this year, and wonder if SaltStorm, who is in the process of creating an *Aspect Realms* guild for the club, would make for a better video gaming officer.

SaltStorm later forms an *Aspect Realms* group for SFEERS members called the Knights of the Spherical Table. BlackNovember becomes very active in the group, continuing his immature streak. After graduating from SAU and being succeeded as video gaming officer by SaltStorm, November continues to be active in the Knights.

During the following year, BlackNovember often finds himself provoking NightKnight, a freshman guild member who is quick to anger. In "Call It A Knight", six months prior to MGP, November joins NightKnight's PvP team and messes around to annoy him. They then have a particularly heated argument, so SaltStorm is called in by GalleyGirl to defuse things. SaltStorm has November log out, confirms the situation with the others, and speaks with NightKnight in private on another channel, where he recommends he mute November to not give November the attention he craves from his troublemaking. Shortly afterwards, November logs back in and stirs up trouble in the game again, so SaltStorm decides now is the time to stop being lenient and exercise his administrative authority. It is implied that SaltStorm banned BlackNovember from the Knights for his continued misbehavior.

## Relationships

### SFEERS

BlackNovember was the video gaming officer in SFEERS. He was not very popular among club members, with president Esper often having to go after him for misbehaving. Though he was infamous for his troublemaking behavior, some who have known him throughout college put up with his immaturity and stayed friends with him even after he graduated.

### Knights of the Spherical Table

BlackNovember joined the Knights of the Spherical Table during its first year, and retained his membership after he graduated from SAU. While his friends put up with his antics, his unpopularity meant much of the guild tolerated him more than liked him. He especially liked to antagonize the hotheaded NightKnight, who would easily fall for his bait. SaltStorm had been suggested by Fretribution to ask November to leave the guild since he's graduated, and after one particular incident, it's implied that SaltStorm banned November outright for constant troublemaking.
