I reasoned that for ease of the players, a reference sheet regarding the Collegium's teachers and structures should be included to avoid unnecessary archive crawling. More will be added as the RP continues. There is a link to here on the second post of the RP.
Teachers:
Heraldus Macropedius
Deputy Headmaster of the Collegium Arcanum, he is a tall and thin man wearing a pair of small spectacles that constantly try to escape down his prominent nose. He wears a long scholarly robe which fits him some would say a little too well at times. His hair is black and slicked back administratively and his face is narrow and sharp boned. Foregoing the more classic wizard beard, he only has a small trim moustache.
A master enchanter and proficient in most other schools of magic, Heraldus is a strict disciplinarian and believes firmly in the sanctity of the rulebook above all else. It is his opinion that the only way to ensure the Collegium’s success is to ensure its rules are strictly adhered to, and follows this policy with fervour of a bureaucrat. This tends to give off the impression of a cold, unapproachable man, which is about right. His greatest strength is his dogmatic impartiality. If one breaks a rule be it him, his superior, or anyone else, he will bring it forward through the proper channels. Recently however, he has come to resent the addition of a Richard Grindgear to the faculty, seeing the man as a flaunter of rules and carelessly egotistic, which Heraldus sees as a direct insult if not challenge to his own beliefs.
Before being employed by Gemma, he worked at a mage school in Stormwind. When Gemma managed to hire him on and was leaving, it is held that the student body heaved a single sigh of relief.
When not at work, Heraldus busies himself stalking the school halls for truants, creating arcane items, and knitting some lovely embroidered socks as Winter Veil presents.
Miss Skivver
No one is altogether certain how old Miss Skivver is. She’s been around the school and teaching longer than anyone living can remember, and the Collegium’s records mention her in their earliest entries. She was also the only member of the staff to remain at the Collegium when it was closed due to the oncoming Scourge invasion, and was in fact there to greet Gemma when he returned to re-open the school. Though she had greeted him by declaring, “Back again I see Gemma. And what little have you amounted to since you left?”
She is an expert on all arcane schools though can rarely be seen practicing it. A bitter, jaded woman, she has been described as a diehard nihilist (though some questions have been raised as to whether she will ever die). Though she teaches at the school, no one is quite sure why she does anymore save to impress on students the utter futility of their existence and attempts at accomplishing anything.
Tall and bony, Miss Skivvers wears black everything from her dress to her socks. She has a sharp hump and her neck cranes slightly out so her head looms over students with a sharp if long nose and a pair of slightly bent, half moon glasses that give her an expression of perpetual annoyance. The glasses always seem to be slightly fogged, and never show her eyes regardless of where the viewer looks at her from. Silver haired, all of it is pulled to the back of her head and tied in a tight bulb.
No one knows anything about her personal life, though she seems to dislike sunlight and avoid it when she can.
Gemma Ballibus
Headmaster of the Collegium Arcanum and the man responsible for its reopening, he was a former student before graduating and moving on in the world. Bright if somewhat bombastic and flippant as a youth, little has changed as he aged though after an unfortunate incident in recent years he has sobered considerably. He tends to forget details if deemed unimportant but always tries to do right by everyone.
Always eager to push boundaries, his life has been one of experimentation with the arcane’s various forms all over the world, giving him a unique outlook on its uses both for good and, with tragic results which he has never discussed, ill. Despite this, he still maintains much of his youthful idealism, which has led him in his efforts to re-open the Collegium Arcanum and institute its new curriculum. He currently holds posts as an archmage of Dalaran, a seated member of the House of Arcane Contraption, a member of the Lyrasium city council, and of course the Headmaster of the Collegium Arcanum.
Atypically wizardly, his hair and long white beard blur the line between them leaving but a single strip of visible skin on his face, they being where his eyes and nose reside. He usually wears a small cylindrical flat topped cap and a pair of billowy red robes embroidered with constellations and astrological symbols (all of which do nothing). He is thick set and of average height, showing his age with the wrinkles skin of his forehead and hands but belying it with his cheery and showy attitude.

Collegium: Classical Arcane
Main Tower:
Situated primarily in the main tower of the Collegium, the arcane wing is where the more classical applications of arcane magic are taught. The main tower, and old and stalwart structure with thick bricks and tall heights, houses the dorms which connect to the cafeteria, which in turn connects to the translocation grid. On the ground floor is the school’s library.
The translocation grid is on the top most level of the tower and consists of a single room and an outside balcony which runs the width of the tower. The room hold two translocation orbs, one which goes to the Collegium grounds and is coloured red, and a second which leads to the library and is blue. This is also where the stairs to the cafeteria may be found. On the balcony about the tower are eight orbs set in golden holders, seven of which lead to the towers which revolve about the main tower. They are:
Abjuration: a red stone
Conjuration: a blue stone
Divination: a milky white stone
Enchantment: a green stone
Transmutation: a golden stone
Evocation: a purple stone
Illusion: a stone which constantly changes colours
The final one is a black stone for necromancy, but it has no tower about the school and its rune has been scratched out. The towers which revolve around the school have only recently been added, around the time that the Collegium was being renovated for its grand reopening.
The school itself is surrounded by a wall. To the north and east lies a lake, to the south mountain which cut it off from the rest of the Plaguelands, and to the west a thick forest known as the Black Woods.
Dorms:
Based above for the boys and below the cafeteria for the girls, the dorm are fan shaped, with all interconnecting in the center of the floor. The center provides a means to reach each section via a single rounded room with branching passages. Inside this center room is a crystal approximately eight feet tall and glowing blue. It is irregularly shaped and ends in a sharp needle tip, and glows blue illuminating the room in its soft light. This crystal is surrounded by eight evenly spaced pillars, which cage it in a barrier preventing tampering as well as hold up the central point of the ceiling. The two crystals provide power to the entire main tower, including the translocating orbs, and operate as each others back ups.
Connecting from the cafeteria via a set of stairs is the common room. This room consists of several plush chairs, couches, and tables for recreational use by the students. Most of the couches are turned towards an elaborate fireplace made of stone with metal carvings and grill shaped like a pair of dragons facing one another. There are several windows overlooking the lake in this room as well as paintings of landscapes on the walls.
The bedrooms are a communal affair, much like the bathroom. It sports a number of beds with elaborately carved headboards depicting scenes from Azeroth's past. Each bed has a chest for the students personal use at the foot of it, and also sport a checkered set of sheets and pillows. A small side table is nearby for each bed, and there are a few windows in here as well looking towards the lake and mountain.
The study area is a room of approximate size to the sleeping quarters and have several long tables with chairs. Arcane globes glow from holders in the walls situated between several bookcases with more general study material as well as dictionaries and thesaurus in the various current languages of the world. They also have some more recreational books for the discerning student looking to relax, such as 'To Slay the Chicken of Darkshire', 'The Hand which the Chicken Bit', and the no less popular which means not at all: 'The Chicken of Azshera'. The Headmaster would very much like to find out who was in charge of stocking those bookshelves and have a word with them..

Money's students
Arcane:
Veraldine Merkatus
Somewhat short for a human. Veraldine is a young woman with shoulder length, mussed black hair and vibrant green eyes. She has a slender frame and not altogether too curvy, which she tries to mask by wearing more loose and casual clothes. She typically wears a blue coat over a green shirt and skirt made of richer fabrics that she can get hold of.
Flirtatious and fond of teasing, she mainly does so to mask her true thoughts. She doesn't like to be under anyone's thumb so schemes constantly, though sometimes acts prematurely when making a grab for power and influence. She also has a tendency of enunciating certain words differently.
Arthur Handel:
A generally thin young man with bland tastes and short cut brown hair, he looks for functionality and economic clothing. He usually wears hand me down clothing of brown linen and a pair of somewhat cracked round glasses. If he ever gets new clothes, they would still look like a hand me down on him. He tends to bring to mind a clerk in training though he has no real idea what he wants to be.
Books are his life, and he constantly studies as he hates to be unprepared for anything. This leads him to be somewhat distant and irritable with others as well as stubborn, particularly if he thinks he's right. If proven wrong he generally descends into melancholy, bitterness and his books in that order. Aside from books he loves puzzles and tends to look for them in everyday life.
Technomancy:
Leo Prometheus:
An energetic and passionate youth, Leo typically wears a white lab coat or leather jacket and overalls indoors, depending on the work he's doing at the time. While outside he favours a brown great coat and sometimes a hat. He is slightly over average height due to his half elven heritage, manifesting mainly in his slightly pointed ears and sharp bones features. He wears a small pair of round glasses and has stringy black hair that would only look good in one style, which he refuses to put it in.
Though passionate and of generally good humour, he tends to limit himself while working due to being somewhat easily distracted by other projects. He is excellent with machinery, but only really knows how to build weapons, declaring 'Dad said there's some gnome blood in our tree, but I think it's more goblin.' Even more mundane works tend to be lethal or at least maiming, which he hates and tries to work around with dubious success. He has a long fuse, but when he explodes he is manic and consuming in his pursuit of revenge.

That was what the reserved one was for, but I believe it might work best if everyone who wished to throw their characters up on here did so with their own posts.

Okay here's the technomages/random people
Teachers:
Richard Grindgear:
Headmaster of the technomages. He is a tall human with short blonde hair and blue eyes with a pair of goggles he's often wearing the lenses randomly changing colors depending on what he's doing. After losing his right arm in the war in the north he now has a titan steel replacement that he uses for his various magical inventions. He wears a blue linen shirt and pants with steel toed leather boots and over his shirt he wears a long brown leather coat with a belt and small pouches to hold his tools.
Richard is a master engineer and technomage. Richard is also a dragonsworn giving him an increased intellect that none have been able to measure given him the ability to learn in days what would take other's months. Because of this he spends most of his time talking about stuff that few can understand giving off the impression that he is insane but his friends just know he lives ten steps ahead of everyone. This has also given him the idea that true innovation cannot exist constantly being restrained by laws and regulations and has but him at odds with Heraldus.
Salena Greyfang:
Salena is a netherdragon that hides herself in the form of a highelf with long violet hair and eyes. Salena wears a black leather corset and a long sleeved silk shirt underneath that hugs her curves with a long violet skirt and black leather boots and carries around a wooden staff that she has carved the image of vines growing around it. Salena is generally a happy person that is hard to displease but when someone actually does upset her may all that is powerful on this world have mercy on there soul.
Salena is currently the schools alchemy/herbalism teacher teaching all three schools in different applications of potions and poisons. She spends most of her time tending to the greenhouses that sit on the school grounds or trying to get her dragonsworn Richard to actually act like a teacher.
The reason for Salena's arrival are mixed. She'll say that she wanted to give her daughter Sasha a chance at running the shop on her own and it gave Salena a chance to teach other students. But some that knew Salena before her arrival say things have gotten tense with her husband and she needed to get away for awhile.
(More to be added as I think them up.)

Tech Department.
Situated in the basement of the school the main room of the dormitory is a massive open room full of books and tools that line the shelves ready to be used by the students and benches and tables for them to work at. All along the ceiling small glass containers hold fire balls that give the great room light.
At one end of the room is a set of double doors that leads into a smaller room with more doors. The closets leads into a hallway lined on wither side with rooms for the students. Opposite this door is another that leads up one floor to the classrooms each designed with a different teaching in mind though all first years go threw a introductory course teaching them the basics and a little of each trade before being allowed to pick and chose there own courses.
Opposite the doors that leads to all those room in the main room is the part house guarded by Light knows what as few can't understand Richard's response. Out side the door is a gnome that asks to see the clearence pass of each student that allows acess to the parts house. The first level of the house is full of the basics and open to all the students but the second level is off limits unless you pass the proper courses and inside the second level is stored the more dangerous chemicals and magical components.

Kaestan Redstar - Arcane
Kaestan is a blood elf of average height, with tanned skin and a muscled body. He has shimmering green eyes and golden blonde hair pulled back in a messy foxtail. His features are sharp and handsome, and a well-kept mustache and emerald-gemmed labret decorate his face. Generally his clothes are sophisticated and of high quality - black trousers and shoes, ornate red and gold dress shirts/blouses topped with a dressy, fitted sailors jacket.
After the fall of Silvermoon, Kaestan was forced to stay with relatives while his two remaining immediate family members (his father and sister) followed Kael’thas Sunstrider to Outland. It was then when Kaestan truly developed his love for knowledge. Once conflict in Outland settled down and Kaestan’s family joined with the Scryer’s the elf moved to live in Shattrath until he received his letter from the Collegium.
Kaestan is laid back and calm, preferring to take his time at whatever task he has at hand. His thirst for knowledge means he is always reading various books and reference materials, and he enjoys solitude. In social situations Kaestan is polite, charming and confident, with very little phasing him.
Kutom’bai - Battle
Kutom’bai is a Darkspear troll who stands at around seven feet in height, with light blue skin and rippling muscles. She has dark brown eyes and messy jaw length purple hair that is shaved on the right side. Her features are strong and harsh, the most prominent being her nose. Multiple piercings decorate her face and body (including her bridge, septum, navel, 12mm labret and 3 inch lobes) and she is covered in tattoos, most of which are vulgar or violet in nature (such as the FU and CK that grace her knuckles). She prefers to wear very little – at most a leather loincloth and chest wrap.
Growing up in a small village, Kutom’bai had a particularly rough childhood. Having to learn how to defend herself from a young age, the troll swore herself to an older male in exchange for his tutelage. Kutom’bai quickly became an avid and experienced fighter, eventually making money as an arena fighter and sellsword. Her letter from the Collegium came as a surprise, as her fire powers have only just emerged.
Kutom’bai is a confident scrapper with an attitude, often feeling that others are judging her negatively even without evidence. She is merciless in her fighting, wanting nothing more than to improve herself. A rule breaker at heart, Kutom’bai loves to party hard at the end of the day. In social situations she puts up a wall to keep others out, often coming off as rude, angry or defensive.
Meeba Miniblaze - Arcane
Meeba is a gnome of average gnome height, with pale skin and a little extra pudge. She has bright blue eyes and bright pink shoulder length layered hair. Her features are soft and pretty with large eyes and long lashes. Two golden flower shaped studs sit on either side of her button nose. Her style of dress is gaudy and elaborate – an emerald green dress with long sweeping sleeves, a metallic gold lace back and metallic gold flowers decorating the fabric. A matching witches hat sits atop her head, and her feet are covered by heeled white leather boots.
Growing up in Ironforge with her engineering family, Meeba is no stranger to technology or explosions. However, the gnome decided she wanted to branch off and do something different from her brothers and sisters, abandoning technology for traditional magic. Her acceptance into the Collegium was her saving grace, the young gnome finally able to be out on her own. Of course she took Amos, the very fat and indifferent black cat, with her.
Meeba is incredibly cheerful and happy, her bright personality shining through in any situation. She is easily offended by short jokes, but otherwise is loud and fun. In social situations, Meeba is unable to tone down her extravagant personality and may be too much for some people.
Violet Clark - Arcane
Violet is a worgen who only stays in her human form. She is of average height, noticeably thin and pale. She has amber eyes that seem to get lighter yellow by the day, with rib length blonde-brown hair usually tucked up in perfect curls or braids. She has gentle, pretty features with freckles, pointed ears and large canines. Her clothing is handmade but indicates wealth – a powder blue Victorian style dress with a delicate white rose trim, bodice and three quarter sleeve, waist length jacket.
Born to a doctor and seamstress, Violet lived a normal life in Gilneas practicing magic and working as a medical scribe. When the worgen curse broke out, Violet was affected and attacked and killed her brother while transformed. After things settled down and her family relocated, Violet forsook her worgen side, doing anything in her power to remain human and never let the monster inside her out again. When she received her letter from the Collegium, Violet jumped at the chance to leave her old life behind as she tried to forget.
Violet is timid and fragile, living with the fear that she will transform once more. She is riddled with guilt and tormented by her past but is trying to move on. In social situations Violet is shy and emotional – it takes very little to upset or anger her – but she does her best to remain a proper lady and keep her worgen side a closely guarded secret.

Caligula Ellrendar - Tech
Caligula is a young Blood Elven of noble breeding who was sent to the school by his parents who wanted to tuck him away and out of sight of their peers. He is short for an elf, with short messy black hair, pale skin from a sheltered life indoors, a purple scarf over his black robes, and glasses. He has gone to practice the "White Sciences," as he calls the school of Technomancy, but generally doesn't seem interested in actually studying.
He's a bit desperate at times, most of those times being all of them, with a deep sense of loneliness rooted within him, and often tries to smooth talk anyone who will listen.
Callyx - Arcane
Callyx doesn't like to discuss the past. A young androgynous human with pale skin and hair, Callyx is something of a mystery. In fact, one of the only things Callyx is willing to give away is a birth and upbringing in Dalaran before a move to Stormwind. Callyx seems to favor green, usually wearing a well pressed green suit with polished black shoes.
Callyx is not very gifted around other people, with poor social skills and a very black-and-white view of the world. Despite not getting along very well with others, however, Callyx seems to be very intelligent and considers every move well in advance.

Whizznob Blastcrackle
Techno
A bit of a lazy goblin, Whizz has a touch for pyromancy and explosives, the results were both obivous and devastating. Whizz was booted into the Collegium mostly to learn how to control his explosions, and hopefully have some reason beaten into him.
Whizz is a short (2 foot 3 inches), lime goblin with smaller than average hands and singed-off hair, he usually wears a wielding mask and a leather apron over a leather shirt and pants. His mask comes with a built-in healing potion on a sipping straw mixed with a fire resistance potion.
Whizznob's proficient, as noted is in pyromancy in general and enhancing his explosives with it in particular, he can up the explosive force of a bomb by a major amount just by casting some spells on it, however he cannot control the amount he does so, it's wild and uncontrollable in it's current form.
Elysia Flameheart
Battle
Elysia was around 14 during the Third war, she refuses to mention any more, mentioning the third war is an easy way to cause her to clam up. Elysia tries to be social, and often overdoes it.
Elysia is Dark blonde with Royal Blue eyes, and Pale-skinned. She is 6 foot 11 inches, 260 pounds. Her build is abnormal for an elf, slightly better built than an average human. Her ears reach slightly under the top of her head.
She wears a simple blue shirt and pants, although generally tends to be in armor
*
Elysia is better at arcane and fire magic as opposed to frost, She prefers to fight with a shield and Hand-and-a-half sword. Elysia is notably stronger than she looks, socially awkward and tends to put on a facade arund her
*There's no V-neck, the chestplate and shoulderplates are bulkier and the sword is actually a bastard sword but Belf models have such small weapons the legplates aren't form fitting either obivously.

Tobias Alexi Sever
Spellbreaker
Tobias is an average-height human male in his early twenties who has brown hair and beard, both kept short, and jade-green eyes. His typical attired consists of a black longcoat and a brown suit underneath it, along with black boots and gloves.
Tobias was born to a pair of nomadic warlocks who primarily traveled through Westfall. Since birth he has been exposed to fel energy, but his parents had the common sense to keep him away from the majority of it in their practices (knowing full well what kind of effects it could have on his young body, the most likely being death). By the time they decided he was ready to begin learning the ways of demons, Tobias already hated the both of them. Between his father’s drunken beatings and his mother’s cold indifference towards every aspect of his existence, Tobias had nothing but hatred or the two of them.
To make matters even worse for the young boy, despite his parent’s best efforts, he was completely incapable of calling upon demonic fire, shadow, or even minions. This only led to more beatings and more indifference as time progressed, and made Tobias even more cold and despising of his parents. They continued to try to push the boy, though, and one day Tobias just snapped.
What he lacked for in the abilities of the offensive nature of a warlock, he made up for in the more defensive path; to an astounding degree. Within second he had tapped into his parents’ mana supplies and began to burn them, purely on instinct. When they, fueled by fear and rage towards what was happening, attempted to kill him, his own youth-filled burst of magic fizzled out their spells. This process continued until the corpses of his parents fell to the ground, dried up like troll mummies.
To bitter and angry to feel scared about being alone, he took the jade-colored, fel-crystal dagger his father had always treasured and stormed away. He was found by a farming couple in Westfall who sent him to an orphanage in Elwynn. There, unwanted due to the unnatural color of his eyes (the remains of the fel-taint of his parents), his aloof and grim personality, and the fact he completely refused to part with the dagger no matter who came for it (going so far as to flee all the way to Duskwood at one point when paladins were called in to deal with the matter) he remained in the orphanage until he aged out.
He only recently received his letter from a traveling courier, and immediately set out for the Collegium Arcanum, where he believes his talent for spellbreaking – which he came to understand shortly after his murdering of his parents – can be refined to make him a threat to any and all magic users in the world. Warlocks, mages, even priests, he believes, will be forced to cower before his ability to cause their attempt to harm them to turn back into the air they pulled them from. What he intends to do with that, though, not even he has decided yet.
His anger towards his parents in his youth carried over to his adulthood, making him extremely resolute against anyone that considered themselves better than him. Especially if they attempted to do him harm. He despises warlocks, and distrusts the casters he associates with their work about just as much – battlemages, due to the different enough nature of their craft, he does not see in AS poor a light.

EACHERS
Stefan Meszaros
The Taskmaster of Battle Magic is a harsh and unforgiving man, a miser for a praise and a generous giver of lashings, verbal as well as literal. His respect is hard to earn and easy to lose, but he knows that everyone can try at least. Stefan firmly believes in strict discipline, and will not hesitate to punish the troublemakers so that the classes can continue without further interference.
A rare breed, Stefan is both an adept arcane warrior and a talented spellbreaker, one of the few in his generation, which is part of the reason he is in his current position. Another would be the same reason he always addresses Gemma as "lauded headmaster", but that is between the two of them alone. He does not share his past readily, though he has been heard to speak of the Three Wars from a participant's, or at least a very close observer's perspective. Despite that, Stefan displays no sign of racial or some other prejudice, treating most everyone with an equal degree of disdain and arrogance.
He has a narrow, pallid face with an emaciated, hungry look and features so sharp it seems as if his bones are ready to cut through his thin, parchment-like skin. His scalp is bereft of hair, covered by an intricate network of tattoos instead that run down across his neck and beyond, disappearing behind his uniform.
He wears a long, quilted gray jacket with a high collar and two wide coattails, black breeches and knee-high leather boots with steel-capped toes. The jacket is girded by a wide, red silken sash, its color so vivid one would not be unlikely to think it had just been dipped in fresh blood. Over the sash Stefan wears two narrow leather belts with steel buckles, with three satchels and his barbed lash Maldicion attached to them; the weapon of torture coiled comfortably on his left side, where he can stroke it with his long, nimble fingers. Another leather belt is slung diagonally across his chest, supporting a wooden staff hanging on his back. The staff has a narrow, long blade attached to one end, while on the other, the one that rises above his right shoulder, a murky red sphere the size of a human fist is affixed. Stefan's knees, right elbow and the right shoulder are protected by steel armor, with the shoulderguard decorated by a serrated half-circle fast at a forty-five degrees angle against the arm. On both hands he wears thick leather gloves; both are fingerless, yet the fingers of his right hand are encased in sectional talon-like casing.
His voice is soft and insinuating; it presents a sharp contrast to his outlandish appearance, and would not be out of place belonging to a gentle, kind person. Listening to it could almost make one forget about the hunger burning in the taskmaster's eyes. Stefan adamantly refuses to raise his voice on any occasion, preferring to have his listeners strain themselves to hear what he has to say.

ERRITORY
Located at the academy's ground floor, the Battle Magic territory can most easily be described as a circle divided into four large parts: the Hall of Two Paths in the center, and around it the Battle Mages quarter in the north-east, the Spellbreakers corner in the north-west, and the courtyards in the south. From the latter, the library can be accessed through a touch-activated translocation orb.
The Hall of Two Paths
In the very heart of the Battle Magic territory lies a large circular chamber. The room's floor is covered by what appears to have the consistency of finest sand, the eastern half indigo blue, the western one fiery red. To the far east a majestic banner hangs on the wall - on a field of blue, a white hand with the fingers splayed, surrounded by a circular halo. Across the room is the banner's twin - a clenched fist, black against red, the circle around it shattered.
Not all of the chamber is dominated by one of the two warring colors - a narrow purple segment lies to the south. The colored grains never mix with each other, the division between blue, red and purple perfect. The term 'narrow' is being used liberally, and only in relation to the entirety of the grand hall.
At the center of the hall a large stone sphere - the Overseer - hangs, its marble-like surface covered by an intricate network of thin grooves; the sphere is attached to the ceiling by a thick metal beam, and is quite far above the floor. The Overseer restricts the usage of any supernatural abilities within the territory. Once activated, it emits a pleasant low hum and blood red light from the grooves.
The Students' Quarters
The Spellbreakers' and the Battle Mages' Quarters are much alike, differing only in the color of banners hanging on the walls here and there. They are split into four sections - the male sleeping quarters, the female sleeping quarters, the mess hall and the common hall with a sparring ring in the center. The mess hall and the common hall effectively separate the sleeping quarters. The latter each have a communal showers and bathroom, with an extra room to clean and repair the uniforms.
