[Lycanth]

Name: Willow Kahn
Gender: Female
Sex: Female (So many males I figured I throw a bone to the female characters.)
Age: 15
Position: Student
Ability: Volukinesis - Insect manipulation, spiders only. She has the power to communicate and control spiders of any kind. Her power is based on her emotions in which spiders react differently depending on how she feels. Also she can't control what kind of spiders or how many appear and in a large group some won't listen to her.
Appearance:

Personality: A complete book worm, sketch artist, and science enthusiast, Willow usually keeps to herself and has her face planted into a book, no matter the genre. She doesn't have many friends, excluding a spider that follows her everywhere (more info in the bio), and is pretty shy around people. She's pretty quite at first, but if one can befriend her, regardless of the creepy crawlies, she can be rather goofy and loud. She absolutely loves anything that has to do with science, may it be astronomy, quantum physics, or any other science. She always is looking to learn something new about the world and universe she lives in.
Bio: Willow grew up in a small farm-town with her grandmother who was a local lavender farmer. Willow's parents both died when she was young, her mother by child birth and her father by drug overdose when she was 5. Her powers started to develop when she was 7 years old at the town schoolhouse. The teacher and other kids thought of her as a disgusting freak when they saw her playing with hundreds of spiders at recess and even during her classes. The schoolhouse was always infested with them, no matter how many exterminators they called in to the place. After a year of verbal abuse from the teachers and bullying by the kids, her grandmother started to home school her. There, Willow found her passion for science and art and found an acceptance of her powers by her grandmother's undying love and support. Shortly after she turned 15, however, her grandmother had her packed up and sent to Edwin's Home for the Extraordinarily Gifted in fear that the Feds would come for her. Back in a more public place, Willow has kept to herself and only shown her professors her power, fearful that the other students, now matter how bizarre some of their powers were, would bully and shun her in disgust. She currently has her own room in the girls' dorm, by her and her grandmother's insistence, and mainly speaks to a black black widow named Claire.

[Great Franconia and Verana]

Name: Victoria Nicholls
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Age: 17
Position: Student
Ability: Force Field Projection, Victoria can project a field of energy to protect allies and stop anything from passing through the field. Larger fields take more energy, and Victoria cannot create them indefinitely. She is able to use them in creative ways however, hurling balls of force field to smash through objects, and even trap enemies.
Appearance:

Personality: Smart, bubbly and innocent, Victoria is kind to almost everyone, which, in some ways, makes it harder for her to maintain individual and close relationships. She is very driven and stubborn, once she gets into something she must see it through. In a crisis, Victoria takes charge, and can become very serious, a shocker for many who know her. She does have a serious side, but it is caused from her long and sad childhood, which she tries to hide from her family and friends.
Bio: Born and raised in London, Victoria Nicholls was the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and his socialite wife. She grew up with no siblings, and seemingly, was an afterthought for he parents. Alone, she became increasingly close with her families servants and staff. As she grew older, the rotation of nannies became more and more frequent, as each one seemed to come under the impression that strange events would happen around Victoria. Her mother and father, while providing for her every whim, left her with little interaction or love. As she grew, her powers began to manifest themselves, and by now, it became common knowledge for staff to avoid the Nicholls family. She was shunned at her private school, and refused to return, accepting home schooling for several years. As her powers began to fully manifest themselves, and the incident in New York City occurred, it became clear to Victoria's parents that their daughter was damaging their reputation. Victoria likes to joke it was the only time they really noticed her, but after some talks with Edwin Uther, who her parents highly regarded, Victoria was packed off to Edwin's School for the Extraordinarily Gifted, where she has lived and studied her powers since the age of 14.

[Videssos]

Name: Shion Takatsuji
Gender: Trap Male
Sex: Male
Age: 14
Position: Student
Ability Sound Manipulation. He can essentially "see" sound and manipulate it accordingly. When he wants to use it with more precision, he uses headphones to help him, with the sound of what he sees being more direct by the balance of the music playing as a spectrum, since normally, it's more unfocused (both his control and perception). However, when Shion snaps his fingers, the snap creates a pitch frequency that travels in circular soundwaves in which Shion can see and travel through, allowing him to move at the speed of sound within its area of effect, as far as it can be heard. Accordingly, he could be said to move at that speed by using sound as a medium in which to move his body. Every time he gets to end of the soundwave he must snaps again to utilize his ability. He can also produce sonic punches and kicks at that speed, which are enhanced by sound. He is immune to the air friction and the strain it puts on his body through his attacks. His clothes aren't necessarily, mind you, and he can still miscalculate and end up flying into stuff. Especially when his ability is less focused, without headphones and music.

A side effect is that his sense of hearing is greatly increased, perhaps overly so, making particularly loud noises something that overwhelms his senses, whilst areas in which sound is nullified, essentially cancel out his ability. Sound also requires a medium to travel through, such as air, ground or water, though it can be virtually anything. His voice can be used for sonic attacks, and certain vibrations can be used to make objects shatter at particular frequencies. When moving at the speed of sound, he can create afterimages of himself. To its greatest extent, he can use the ability to transform his physical body into sound. In effect, the user can act as a living sonic boom; by simply moving at a fast-enough speed, they can disorient opponents, shatter windows and more. This form generally appear indistinct and without shape, though he could potentially alter the frequencies and vibrations so that he can be visible in this state, also theoretically using it to shapeshift using sound. He has only done this transformation twice before, and it is extremely exhausting and difficult to control. Also, as mentioned earlier, a soundproof room would trap him. Transforming into pure sound only applies to his body, too, not his clothes, which are more than likely to disintegrate during transformation. Since sound comes in the form of waves, a signal that disrupts the frequencies of said waves would weaken his power and essentially mess with his hearing, and in the case of him being transformed, it would destabilise his form, making him loose control of the direction in which he moves, before forcing him to transform back, at the very least disoriented and stunned, if not unconscious.

In certain environments, he can use echoes to empower himself. Nonetheless, in that echo-enhanced state, the earlier mentioned immunity to the strain on his body is rendered void. If he plays an instrument, he can amplify the sound it makes, as well as alter the frequency and pitch, and associated elements. On a minor note, he can also change how his voice sounds. Without the freedom to use his voice or hands, he can't use any active applications of his ability (instead only having passive elements, like the hearing/perception).
Appearance:

Personality: Generally quiet and shy, though he seems somewhat more confident in battle. Fairly intelligent, and likes to read books. Though he also likes games, music, sweets, and cute things. He's a bit distrustful of others, and tends to hide his real feelings with a smile, kindness, and an apparently optimistic view of things. Sometimes, though, he is shown to have a darker sense of humour, and his taste in anime and manga, can range from the more cheerful, kawaii stuff, to more obscure, darker kinds of anime and manga. Same applies to his taste in music. He also likes cooking. For a 14 year old, he's surprisingly knowledgeable, philosophical and literate. Among other genres, he likes fantasy, scifi and horror, as well as history and mythology. Despite looking and sounding like a girl, he can be quite uncomfortable around them, also easily embarrassed. He also has a fear of being touched, to some extent, though especially when other people get too forceful. Some other stuff.

Bio: Born in Nagano, Shion was the first son of a Japanese businessman, Hisato Takatsuji, whilst his mother, Kyoko Yoshimura, was a novelist and painter, as well as half-German, accounting for Shion's blonde hair. He also had two older sisters, one of whom was a singer and actress, named Michiko Takatsuji, and the other was a professional martial artist, practicing a number of unarmed martial arts, as well as Kendo, named Kaguya Takatsuji.

At school he was always mistaken for a girl, something that had been troublesome. Being short, blonde, physically weak, and having heterochromic eyes also made him stand out, be it for better or worse. Some girls envied his looks, and he was often bullied, both for that, and his height. It didn't help that Michiko kept forcing him to crossdress, thinking that it made him look cute, whilst he was often given hand-me-downs from his older sisters, despite the fact that his family didn't need to be so economical about usage of clothing or anything. He tried to stick to himself when he could, delving into computer games, books and music, perhaps as a way of distracting himself from the real world. Though in time he would become taller, he still lingers a little below average, and that's for girls, rather than boys.

Meanwhile, Kaguya kept pushing him to be more independent, trying to teach him how to defend himself, as well, though it became clear that he wasn't cut out for the elements of the training that involved endurance and strength, though his size and build did mean he could be fast and agile. He was, nonetheless, somewhat fragile, and he was more harder hit by illnesses than most, even minor ones. His nervous system was also hypersensitive, and that meant that he felt pain more than most.

He first discovered his power four years ago. whilst with his father, who happened to be visiting a bank, he got kidnapped during an armed robbery. Needless to say, whilst he survived a month before snapping, using his ability with sound to kill or incapacitate them before escaping back home, he saw the criminals openly kill those that got in their way, whilst himself being mistreated and tortured. One of the criminals happened to be a paedophile, too, which didn't help things. Unsurprisingly, this made his view of things somewhat less positive, though as he usually did, he found it was better to hide his real feelings and thoughts, believing that being openly true to himself would lead to more persecution.

When he was a bit younger, he did have some friends, though after he became nine, he got a computer, and became more drawn in, spending more time playing games and watching anime. Since he was six, he'd also been quite into books, though back then, he also spent some time socialising and doing other things. He became quite proficient at various computer games, even gaining some online fame, though he always went by different names, as well as making himself seem older. In some games he also went as a girl. Having some interest in technology and music, he also delved into Vocaloid type stuff.

More recently, he came to the academy after his parents found out about it, with support in that regard from his older sisters. Michiko, who turned out herself to have an ability, was able to use her voice to issue commands that the subconscious of others was inclined to obey, both more directly, and in a subtle application. She had, essentially, in time made Shion used to wearing the kinds of clothes she gave him, and that included a female variation of this academy's uniform. To his ire, it was a modified version with a shorter skirt.

[Mavorpen]

Name: Andrea Chavez
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Age: 16
Position: Student
Ability: Andrea has the power of density manipulation. She can individually manipulate both physical properties of a substance that determines its density: mass and volume, or manipulate both at the same time. How well she can manipulate it depends upon two primary factors: how large the object is, and how close it is. An object the size of a human or larger, for example, would require her to be within 10 feet in order to even affect its density. For greater control, she would need to touch the object. Smaller objects, such as an apple, can be manipulated pretty much freely from any distance.
Appearance:

(Image)

Personality: Andrea has typically been considered to be sort of a "tomboy." She has a rough and snarky personality as well as interests typically considered more "masculine" such as video games, sports, etc. which makes her pretty popular among guys. At the same time, though, she's also a big nerd at heart and has loved science, particularly biology, ever since she was a child.
Bio: Andrea was born in a fairly well off family of scientists -- her father, a researcher in astronomy, and her mother a university physics professor. She was raised to love science through numerous means. She was taken to science museum after science museum, visited her parents at work numerous times, and given entire bookshelves worth of science related books.

When she was 13, her powers began manifesting themselves. At first, she hid them because she thought her parents might shun her and see her as a monster. However, eventually they did find out when she slipped, fell down some stairs, and subconsciously decreased her mass and stopped herself midair in front of them. The fear of her parents not only being disgusted at her abilities but also being angry because she lied to them for so many years caused her to immediately run away from home.

Andrea went to the only adult that she personally trusted, Brianna (who was a close friend of Andrea's mother), and explained the situation to her. Brianna housed her for two days, and on the third day, Andrea's parents came to get her. Andrea almost ran away again before Brianna revealed that she also had abilities and used them to stop her from running away.

Her parents explained to her that they weren't upset over the fact that she had developed abilities nor were they angry that she hid them from them. In fact, they were excited and believed that it would open up many opportunities for her. They even allowed her to assist them in their research. Eventually they found about the Edwin R.G. Uther Boarding Academy and asked Andrea if she would like to go. She agreed, and joined.

Name: Brianna Kelley
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Age: 22
Position: Staff/Counselor
Ability: Brianna is an Empath. She can detect and interpret the emotions of others even if they aren't outwardly expressing them. She can also replicate them and induce them on others, essentially making them feel whatever emotion she wants them to and allowing her to control them (though she very much prefers not to and typically does so under special circumstances). She can also hear thoughts of others, though it's extremely limited and the thoughts must be tied to emotion. An example would be if she sensed two spouses aiming a lot of hatred towards one another. She would get an echo of thought along with that emotion (something like "I cant believe hes cheating on me after all these years"). Brianna can also project her ability onto others and allow one person to feel another person's emotional state.
Appearance:

(Image)

(Image)

Personality: Brianna is a straightforward and blunt individual that prefers to not beat around the bush, especially when it comes to her job. That isn't to say that she's cold or detached, as she genuinely cares for the students. Rather, because she can break through a person's facades about what their emotional state, she has developed little patience for such things.
Bio: Unlike the vast majority of people with abilities, Brianna's were active almost from the beginning. Even as far back as when she was three, she had been unconsciously influencing people's emotions to get what she wanted. As a result, she was pampered by her parents and given preferential treatment by friends, strangers, and her teachers.

It wasn't until Brianna was about 11 until she realized her ability. The realization crushed her because she quickly pieced together that all of the love and attention that she had received over the years wasn't because she was a good person nor because she was actually loved. She became convinced that rather than everyone loving her, everyone actually hated her, and that she was simply convincing them otherwise.

For years, she closed herself off to others as she lived under this believe and refused to use her abilities. Ironically, her failure to use her abilities prevented her from understanding how other people felt about her which caused her to keep a distance from them which often led them to having negative feelings about her and thus confirming her assumptions and further refusing to use her powers. It was a cycle of self fulfilling prophecies that she couldn't escape from.

That is, until her parents sent her to Edwin's Home for the Extraordinarily Gifted. There, she slowly broke out of her shell as she interacted with people who were different like her and learned to better control her abilities. Through the help she received from others, she felt that she was obligated to help others as well and became the school's counselor, using her her abilities to make it more effective.

Name: Jennifer (Jenn) Lee
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Age: 16
Position: Student
Ability: Jenn has the ability to create a small dimensional space and make things inverted within them. In other words, in this space, she can make up appear down, left appear right, etc. so that if a person is walking one direction, they will end up moving in the opposite direction. One of the weakness she has is that she herself can sometimes get confused when using her power. She also has to consciously activate this ability, so it's not going to help very much against something or someone a lot faster than her if she doesn't activate it beforehand.
Appearance:

(Image)

(Image)

Personality: Jenn is sort of a combination between Brianna and Andrea in the sense that she's snarky and blunt. However, compared to the two of them, she usually cranks it up to 11. She's also extremely apathetic about nearly everything and this is often expressed through her almost comedically monotone voice. She believes that ultimately even though she goes to a school full of superpowered individuals, they still succumb to the unfortunate restrictions placed upon them by society that ultimately makes their lives meaningless.
Bio: Jenn was born to a normal middle class family in an average suburban neighborhood. For years, she lived as a normal girl, living in the shadow of her sister who was universally considered to be the more "likeable" sibling. While Jenn was just another person who had good grades and "boring" hobbies, her sister was beautiful, knew how to communicate and make friends, etc. which ultimately led her to become extremely popular. Interestingly, though, Jenn didn't mind this, as she believed that being "popular" was ultimately a burden.

Then, Jenn developed her powers when she was 10, which almost led her life into a complete 180. All of a sudden, people started looking at her as the special child and started having larger expectations for her than her sister -- and she hated every single moment of it. Ironically, instead of becoming more popular, this led her to further develop her sarcastic and apathetic attitude in order to force people away.

For years, she tried to drive people away, and for years, she failed, as her relationship with her sister grew more and more sour. Eventually she decided to attend Edwin's Home for the Extraordinarily Gifted, but for a reason you probably wouldn't find common among the students: she didn't want to stand out. After all, there, she's just another girl with abilities. Brilliant, right? Anyway, she met Andrea and the two became friends through their mutual love for snark as well as science.

[New Rob Halfordia]

Name: Norm Everyman

Gender: Male

Sex: Male

Age: 17

Position: Student

Ability:
Self Velocity Manipulation
Basically, he can control his own velocity, meaning he can go as fast as he wants, and hit as hard as he wants. Despite often nerfing himself to make fights interesting, he does believe there is a limit to his power, which means he is limited. Although he believes this limit to be incredibly high, by believing he has a limit, he is his own governor. Theoretically, if he believed himself to have no limits, he would physically have no limits to his strength and speed. He would be able to outrun light or destroy planets with simple punches. However, his own doubts are his weakness, along with his tendency to hold back to make things interesting. If this doubt were to be removed, there would be little limits to his power. The extreme cold also limits his power, as he has to put all of his energy towards vibrating fast enough to stay alive. Although, doing this, he can survive temperatures of absolute zero.

Weaknesses:
- His own doubt
- His pulling punches
- People able to manipulate other object's velocity and limit his speed
- Temperatures under -200°F
- Often, he simply will leave a fight to others, believing his own involvement is pointless

Appearance:

Personality: He's incredibly apathetic, and doesn't care about anything. Most of this stems from his extreme boredom. It causes him to often back out of fights and let others handle it, as he is aware that he can defeat most enemies he comes across. The lack of any kind of thrill in fighting has led to this boredom, and causes him to believe that he is cursed by his own power. He will occasionally fight by holding himself back, if the opponent is superhuman, but, he has yet to find an opponent to truly challenge him.

Bio:
He's led a rather unimpressive life. He grew up in a suburb in New Hampshire, went to school, got C average grades, and generally lived carefree. This complacency spawned apathy, and, this apathy spawned boredom. Deep down, despite seeming apathetic and bored on the outside, he was craving excitement. He got it when one day, around the age of 14, a group of muggers backed him into an alley. Most people would be terrified, but Norm craved the excitement, and secretly was enjoying it. When Norm went to punch one of them, however, they did not take the hit very well. In fact, they mostly just dissolved, their torso and legs separating as their midsection was disintegrated.

As the two muggers remaining gasped in fear, Norm simply simply stared at his blood soaked fist, holding it directly in front of his face. However, his was not a look of shock, but one of severe disappointment. He did not remain apathetic to the fact he just disintegrated a man, but instead, it was quite the opposite. He was upset by how easy the fight was. Granted, he was also surprised, and quickly deduced he was clearly not normal by any stretch of the imagination. Looking to the other muggers, he simply shooed them off, deciding that they weren't worth his time.

However, the power he had made him curious, and, after fiddling around, he determined it must have had something to do with his speed, and his ability to control it. He tested it by going into the woods and destroying larger and larger objects, until he eventually got to the point where he was destorying hills and large abandoned houses. But, he caused quite the commotion during this training, and caught the attention of both the government, and a certain Home for the Extraordinarily Gifted. That is where his life got a little more exciting...

Ok
Name: Maxwilliam Vooam Troose [plus five points if you get the reference]
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Age: 16
Position: Student
Ability: He has the ability to communicate via telepathy, he can listen in on others thoughts and speak to them wih out opening his mouth. It's rather weird for thoes who have to listen to him. However, sometimes he accidentally listens in when he has no desire, and when that happens with angry people he tends to ger head aches from their shouting angry thoughts. Even more embarrassing, he sometimes broadcasts his thoughts to people when he has no desire. An interesting occasion is when he made an atheist a beliver by accidently broadcasting rather, er, less-than-decent thoughts to the atheist, and the atheist thought Allah was telling him to go screw someone.
Appearance (Pics Please) (ok):

the brunet one

Personality: snide and smug, he can often be seen with a prideful grin as he saunters around. However, while he is prideful, he is not rude, one of the objects of his pride his manners. He is not quick to insult, or slander, ect, ect. He is a social creature, liking very much to talk and be with the large crowds and parties. A fan of China Miéville books and writings.
Bio:
~ahem~
Maxwilliam Vooam Troose was the love child of Edressa Troose, a prostitute on the vegas strip. As one can imagine, he was born into poverty, he and his mother having to deal with hunger and lack of good clothing. Edressa was a carrier of a ressive gene that gave her son, whom she named Maxwilliam after one of her imaginary ancestors who was rich and powerful, the ability to telepathicaly listen and communicate to people.

Maxwilliam grew up, going to a public school from kindergarten to freshman year, in a poor part of Las Vegas, having to deal woth the less-than-steller educators and teachers, who (failed to) isolate Maxwilliam from the other children, via recess punishments and detention and the like. However, at a young age, Maxwilliam seemed to always be in sync with the students, until they got older and seemed like children would talk with him for a short time, invite to him to a few parties, then leave him for the next eternity. He confused his teachers by somehow knowing about the answers for every test, despite never getting a single homework in, "I didn't do it," he would say. That was around 8th grade, when he found out that this might be a power he had; it would explain how everyone around him would get the same songs stuck in his head as him; why he could tell how someone was feeling and hear them shout while the smouldered silently; and began to explore it, getting info about tests and pandering it. He had found his way back into friends, who would tolerate the weird child who gave them all earworms (untill they heard him speak inside of their heads- then they'd leave him forever and scorn his name,) and he moved from tests to rumors and gossip, giving theories about who jessica slept with and what James did to himself in the bathroom, ect, ect. Then came the end of freshman year- when he told his mother about his secret via his telepathy (as well as coming out as pansexual,) and she tried her best to accept her strange son. Untill rumors surrounded the prostitute and her "unholy" son, which, at the beginning of the summer, got her raped and killed. The police never looked into it- and the grieving Maxwilliam was forced out of school and into his late mothers profession to try and earn some food, whoring about Nevada and in perpetual hunger. Then, he heard about some boarding school- one for "gifted" children like him. So, thumbing a ride to the town the school was in, he pleaded to be let in as a sophomore, wich brings us to now.

[Empire of the Siberian Flaming Eskimos]

Name: Dillon
Gender: Male
Sex: Still male. (Wouldn't it be better to have a sexual orientation tab? This doesn't really cover les, bi, or gay people. My guy is strait though.)
Age: 16
Position: Student
Ability: Teleportation. It's pretty self explanatory. He can teleport anywhere within a block that he has a sight line on, or a general area, i.e. the other side of a wall, but going somewhere he's not familiar with without a sight line is dangerous, i.e. teleporting through a wall into a sword.
Appearance: I'm not good with images, but I'll try. Give me time and settle for a description for now. Five Eleven with medium length black hair. Blue eyes and a fairly lanky build. Very relaxed and casual. If there's a uniform then his would be constantly wrinkled, untucked, and generally messy.

([url=IMAGE%20GOES%20HERE]Image[/url])

Personality: Dillon is the guy that uses humor to hide the fact that he's a traumatized and scared kid. He's constantly pulling pranks and jokes on people and is a generally likable guy, except to the asshole's he pulls pranks on. He's not overly lustful, but he jokingly hits on girls and isn't above dick jokes.
Bio: Dillon grew up with a wonderful and caring family. He had not siblings or relatives besides his parents, but they loved him and that was enough for him. His powers developed early on and he liked using it to mess with people, though much to his parent's annoyance. They told him not to use his powers outside the house but he promptly ignored them and was scolded several times for being sent to the principles office for doing things that seemed impossible on his own. Faculty in his school tried many times to figure out who helped him, but no one did. Things got out of hand though when his neighbors caught him preparing a little surprise for them. Shocked and unnerved by his power, they quickly reported him to the government. Soon afterward some goons came to take him away, but Dillon had taken the long way home that day and wasn't there. As he approached the house he found his parents screaming and yelling for him to run as men in suits tried to make them divulge Dillons location. He watches as they silenced his parents with a bullet to each of their heads. Since then he has been on the run, using his powers to stay a step ahead of everyone. He recently found out about the school and has enrolled for the coming year. Little does the faculty know that they're in for a handful.

[North Arkana]

Name: Maya Shimizu / Nao Scarlet
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Age: 19
Position: Announcer / Message "Jumper" (because runner doesn't quite fit)
Ability: Displacement Teleportation:Maya has the ability to teleport herself, or objects up to the mass of herself. Both the object being teleported and the destination must be within line of sight. When an object is teleported, it leaves behind an empty space where it previously was, as a result, the surrounding material (if a distinct object is teleported out of a solid) is left with a hole, or the surrounding material must rush in to fill the vacuum (air or water). At the opposite end, the object when it reappears displaces what was previously there, essentially forcing anything already there to get out of the way. This "minor" detail makes her ability extremely dangerous. An (im)properly teleported sheet of paper could be used to sever body parts, or an object could be moved inside someone else's head, for example, with predictable results as the object forces its way in. The biggest limitation on Maya's ability, is the need for line of sight, meaning that blindfolding her (rather hard to do and keep on her) or making it too dark to see makes her ability extremely volatile. If Maya cannot see the destination or object, either A, the wrong object gets moved, or B, the right object ends up god knows where. As can be expected, repeated use drains Maya's energy as well.
Appearance:

Personality: Maya seems to have boundless energy and goes about her work with enthusiasm. She's normally cheerful, but she also can be "off" at times. Usually, this means she's just had a bad day, or just doesn't feel as well as she usually does. Sometimes, however, this means Maya is not "Maya". Maya has a split-personality, with her other persona being "Nao Scarlet". Nao is prone to being highly volatile and will go out of her way to harm others if they irritate her in any way. To keep it short, Nao is far from pleasant to be around, while Maya is more than willing to help with anything you might need. Fortunately, Nao's persona is suppressed so long as Maya is not exposed to sudden, large amounts of stress.
Revealed in Story: There is actually a third persona sharing Maya's body, the original Maya. The happy go-lucky Maya is actually the "fake" Maya, which in itself is a byproduct of the creation of Nao by the "original". The original is the weakest of the three personas, but she takes control periodically. She tends to be rather fatalistic about things, and appears to exhibit the greatest degree of skill when using her teleportation abilities. It has also been revealed, much to the misfortune of others, that Nao is in fact the dominant persona. She simply lets the other have control for the sake of making her life "more interesting".
Maya has since put her mind back together, and now generally more pleasant to be around, though she has a rather negative opinion of herself. She has also developed a sisterly sort of relatioship with Charlotte.
Bio: Maya came aboard as junior staff member to facility primarily because she just missed the cut-off for coming in as a student. However, her family felt it would still be for the best to send Maya to EHEG as she was experiencing increasing discrimination and stigmatization from the people around her. Her ability first began manifesting itself seven years prior to arriving, and Maya had naively used it as a sort of party trick during her time at "normal" school. Eventually, her power became a bit of an open secret in her school and hometown. Some people viewed it with suspicion, while most saw it as something intriguing, but probably just the work of a skilled illusionist. Either way, Maya enjoyed a small period of popularity in her hometown. Unfortunately, when Dr. Uther's daughter went on her rampage, exposing the existence of psychic abilities, attitudes towards Maya began to change. It became clear that Maya wasn't using slight of hand, rather she was psychic. People began to avoid her when she was in public, fearful that she might go on some sort of rampage as well. At school, she was antagonized by the other students. Eventually, her bullies pushed her to the point where she developed an alternate persona for the purpose of managing the stress. "Nao Scarlet" was entirely capable intimidating many of her bullies into leaving her alone, but the more determined ended up exposing the dangerous side of her powers. It had reached the point, that one group of bullies decided the best way to make Maya stop showing to class despite the abuse, was to molest her. At first, she had handled the situation, through Nao, with her usual calm, expecting nothing out of the usual. However, once one of the bullies pulled a knife and told her to strip, she realized what was happening. At the time,she couldn't teleport herself yet, so when one of her attackers reached for her "personal area", Maya/Nao panicked. Without thinking through the consequences, Maya/Nao teleported a sheet of paper in the boy's wrist, and cut off his hand. While Maya was able to avoid legal action, as the action was in self-defense and she was threatened with a weapon, the incident essentially ended her life outside of home. Until coming the EHEG, Maya spent her days hiding in her family's home from a constant crowd of angry townspeople, some ready to lynch her. Somehow, she managed to keep up her positive attitude, and both she and her family were greatly relieved when they found out about EHEG. Maya doesn't know where things will go now, but she's sure it will be better for herself and her family.

[The Tophat Empire]

Name: Charles Phipps
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Age: 24
Position: Staff, Receptionist, but also a part of the security force
Ability : has control of electricity, and pressure(but this part is much weaker then his electricity control)
Appearance :

Personality: Phipps is a reserved and apathetic individual. Phipps is a serious one, approaching situations with a significantly calmer demeanor. Phipps favors comprehensively executing the tasks give to him instructed, without going astray or unduly interfering with matters that are not of his concern. He views seemingly odd circumstances in an objective, pragmatic light, and attempts to reason. shares the trait of totally eradicating anything that threatens the school, or it´s students
Bio:........ ergh, do i have to, pretty much the same as wiking

[Elysian Kentarchy]

Name: Rache Olderen
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Age: 24
Position: Staff, Vice Principle
Ability: His ability is to be able to sense what someone is feeling. There are people who can read minds but his is more primal, he can sense the emotions others are feeling. But it isn't like he walks into a room and senses what every one feels. He needs to focus on them in order to sense what they feel. The only people who know this is his power is his fellow staff, his sister, and anyone who went to the Academy at the exact same time he did, because it allows students to let their guard down around him. The students are told his power is something that haunts their nightmares and that they cannot speak of out of fear of retaliation. This isn't just him being secretive for the sake of being secretive it is quite possible to fool his power but it requires being an extremely good actor. If one is capable of faking an emotion, or forcing an emotion, extremely well his power will be confused briefly. Since they don't know this the students just assume that he is very insightful about their problems and feelings. If they did he would lose his edge when dealing with students. Though they also get a good laugh out of the idea of a scary vice principle.
Appearance:

Personality: Kind, loyal, stubborn, protective, genius, insightful, understanding, studious, inquisitive, disciplinarian.
Bio: "God help you if you threaten the Home. Because I certainly will be showing no mercy." Born to a relatively normal life in Slovakia with normal parents, though they later emigrated to the United States. While most would say that growing up he was always a very understanding child about how others were feeling. He didn't think he had any power, just a good type of empathy and that caused him to gain and lose a lot of friends because he could understand far more than them and would poke at old wounds in them, but that changed when his sister was found out and, after a few tests, he was found to have a power too. So he went to Edwin's Home, he was amongst the very first students actually and graduated as top of the first class of the Home. Since he was top of his class when he went to Edwin's Home he was asked to be the Vice-Principle of the school shortly after due to his capability and power that would allow him to deal with the students if any disciplinary troubles arise, he had a sterling record in terms of discipline suffice and most who know him agrees that his dedication to the Home, its students, and its continuance is fairly extreme. Likes to play chess, swim, and read in his spare time. He is multilingual capable of speaking fluent, Slovak, English, Russian, and Latin as well as reading them. He is also a violist and a devout Christian of the Orthodox Faith. What most people don't know is that he is quite handy with a quarterstaff and is good in a fight.


Name:Anastasia Olderen
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Age: 16
Position: Student
Ability: Teleportation, the only catch is that she can only teleport to wherever her brother is and back (much to her joy and his annoyance) (to elaborate, her brother is in his office and she is in the cafe, she can teleport to his office and the only place she can teleport to from where he is is right back to the exact same spot in the cafe)
Appearance:

Personality: Brother Complex, possessive, stubborn, laid back, smart, kind, loyal, brave, chaste, dutiful.
Bio: "I don't know why but love is love isn't it?" The younger sister of the vice principle. There isn't much to say besides the fact that most would remark that she has always been at her brother's side and has a brother complex because of it. The siblings had kept here teleportation power a secret until it was found out and she was prepared to be sent to the Home when she was older, which she is doing now. She, of course, knows her brother's power but keeps it to herself, because her brother had asked. While not a genius like her brother is she is still very smart and is capable of speaking fluent Slovak and English. It isn't rare to seem the siblings talking together in their mother tongue. Unlike her brother who is a violin player she is a pianist. She is also a devout Christian (though that has done little to suppress her brother complex). She is also a pretty good shot with a pistol. She is a very kind and chaste person therefore cannot stand perverts in the slightest (looking at Faal). The one time she will resort to complete violence is when she is dealing with one (don't worry Faal as I noted in the compass association perverts are almost impossible to kill by women) much to her brother's annoyance since he has to sort things out. Unlike her brother who is very disciplined she is very much laid back and enjoys swimming, chess, and jogging.

[Land of the Risen]

Name: Lazarus Stasis
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Age: 18
Position: Student
Ability: Electricity Manipulation. This is almost straightforward. The power to control electricity, obviously only available when currents or electricity are able to be controlled and called upon. Being stranded in a forest, per say, would be a big weakness.
Appearance:


Personality: Lazarus's personality revolves around three main points. Foolish, energetic, and optimistic. Just like the electricity he controls, he is always a live wire and ready to go. Never really growing up, he still can act like a kid and is humorously immature when not needed to be otherwise. He loves his life for the most part, and will never be the first to complain about something unless it intervenes with a good prank or party.
Bio: With the power to manipulate electricity, Lazarus is very much like most would first imagine. He never stops, never out of energy, and never quits. Growing up with only an older brother to look out for him, someone could expect Lazarus to be a moody, dark back-rounded anime character, but no, he never really let him bring that him down. He almost always forgets it anyway since he's always busy with a new prank or just having fun.
Lazarus can be found around the campus with his skateboard and a cigarette in hand. He stops to help people out when he can, but otherwise will keep to himself and his own fun. His favorite spots to hang out change every week, never with a consistent theme. One day, he's laying on the roof, the next, he's chilling out in the lunchroom.
His school life is a decent one, not like he would complain about it if it wasn't anyway. He has a few friends, and is always enjoying being surrounded by hot girls.

[Isle of Lithonia]

Name: Kristina Peterson
Gender: Cis Female
Sex: Female
Age: 17
Position: Student
Ability: Emotional Energy Manipulation: She has the ability to create, shape and manipulate the emotional energies of those within twenty feet of her. This allows her to either increase the intensity of their emotions, dull them, and even slowly change them over time. The larger the group she is manipulating, and the more varied their emotions, the weaker are her powers over them. And if the group is smaller, and their emotions are more in tune with each other, the greater her power over them.

Moreover, she can draw on the energy created by others' emotions. These can then be harnessed to augment her own energy and physical abilities, create weapons of pure energy (e.g. sword, gun, knife), or to shoot out blasts of energy. With this ability, the more intense the emotions, the more powerful are her abilities, and the weaker the emotions the weaker her abilities. The more varied the emotions, the less precise, and the more volatile and unpredictable her abilities.

Appearance (Pics Please):

Personality: Kristina is a very happy-go-lucky kind of person most of the time, known for her empathy, sociable personality, and her odd ability to bring a smile to even the most down-and-out person. She's also pretty much everybody's friend, as there are so few people she can't get along with or understand. If someone is sad, she's often the first person they'll come to if they need to talk about it, or just have a shoulder to cry on.

But in reality, she's hiding her loneliness and sadness very well. Being friends with everyone means that she's close to very few. And those few she is close to, well, she's nothing more than just a close friend. Being a very "touchy-feely" person, she has become sexually frustrated, since she could never get close enough to someone as to be truly "intimate" in that sense of the term. As a result, Kristina is very much in an awkward position: she's very desirous of someone who will love her and be intimate with, but she's also too afraid to ask in case she hurts someone or makes them uncomfortable. Being a lesbian doesn't help matters either, since that gets rid of the larger population that would give her intimacy...

Right now, she is yearning for someone more emotional and kind to fall in love with. But such a wonderful person has not been forthcoming, and she may just settle for some girl that will at least personally care for her.
Bio: Kristina was born in a small town. And now is a student at Edwin R.G. Uther Boarding Academy.

...

Wait, you want more? You're joking, right???

*sigh* Fine...

...

This poor girl grew up in a rather conservative, small-town, Christian home. When her parents found out she was interested in other girls (and not guys, which is bad because god made Adam and Eve, not Eve and...someone else), they were shocked to say the least. At the age of 14, she was sent to a camp where parents' were promised that their children would have the, "gay beaten right out of 'em". And I'll not recount what happened to her there, because it wasn't pretty.

It was there that her powers manifested, and she was chased away by the camp leaders, because they thought she was some sort of witch.

Making her way into the city, she was found by students of the Academy while on a short field trip, and the staff magically realized her abilities. And now that my mind is fucked, I'll leave it at that.

Now, she's a student at the Academy, and she is desperately trying to remove her past from her mind, and find that stereotypical teenage "love of your life".

...

Alright, that's the best you're getting out of me today. So it had better work.

[Charlia]

Name: Alessa Wolf (goes by Alice)
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Age: 17, unless I'm wrong and a student teacher isn't actually a student...
Position: Student teacher
Ability: Alice has the power to corrupt nerve signals, taking control of other people's senses and making them see, hear, feel, taste, or smell whatever she wants them to. This power can be used on a group, but it is far less effective. Also, there is a range limit. She can only make somebody smell something within a 50 feet radius, taste within 40 feet, feel within 30, hear within 20, and see within 10. The closer she is, the stronger the illusion is.
Appearance:

(Image) with this smile (Image) Don't say I didn't warn you.

Personality: Can be friendly, but also can be quite cold at times. She's kind of back-and-forth that way. Red Oni/Blue Oni and all that.
Bio: Well, her powers manifested when she was five years old. Unfortunately, her parents were unwilling to deal with a 'gifted' child, and she was put up for adoption. Her foster parents were relatively kind, and she lived happily for eleven years.
That's when everything went wrong.
A prank by some students went awry(best laid plans), and she was left with a smile reminiscent of a twisted Cheshire Cat. She snapped and killed the students with their own knives. The police deemed it temporary insanity, and she spent several months in the hospital recovering. Nobody visited her.
When she was deemed well enough to be released, her foster parents insisted she go to the school. So... she did.

[Charlia]

Name: Sage Takeuchi
Gender: Female
Sex: ...Female/Vixen XD
Age: 17
Position: Student
Ability: Sage is a bit... odd. She doesn't really have an ability, per se, but she has the ears and (very very orange) tail of a fox, and also very sharp canines. This may contribute to her hyperactive state, as she still has some slight retention of fox instincts. Please don't get her angry, as she may bite you, and nobody likes it when that happens, least of all Sage herself. She usually carries around a bag of hard candy in case anything like that happens, so she can get the taste out of her mouth, also as an apology gift to the victim.
Appearance (Pics Please):

Personality: Sage can really only be described as incredibly bubbly and overenthusiastic, has never had caffeine because she couldn't be held responsible for what happened if she did, and also has a severe case of ADHD(Attention Deficit... Ooh, shiny!). <Like that.
Bio: Well, to put it in the (not-so-immortal) words of Sage herself, 'What do you wanna know? I was born, I was cast out, I came here, I learn, I live, and one day I'll die. What more is there to say?'
What she doesn't say is that she has her share of dark secrets...
And they're not for the kiddies.

[Atlannia]

So I was talking about a second chracter a few pages ago, I went ahead and did up an app for her. The gist of it is that Amber's Father hires her to act as a sort of clandestine body guard for Amber on account of him being overprotective. So there's a whole thing about them being polar opposites and learning to get along and stuff.

Name: Natalia Kyrov
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Age: 16 (approx.)
Position: student
Ability: Hyper Spatial Awareness. Natalia is instantly aware of spatial attributes of any object around her, that is: size, weight, location, trajectory, velocity etc. Practically speaking this ability allows her to see both incoming ranged and melee attacks and efficiently avoiding them, she also has an innate understanding of how to move to generate the most force, making her proficient in melee combat and her ability to predict trajectories makes her incredibly accurate with both thrown weapons and fire arms, which she has some experience with.
Appearance (Pics Please):

(Image)

Personality: Quiet, unflappable, extremely practical, Natalia is a natural survivor, more of a doer than a thinker, she tends to logical almost to the point of cold bloodedness and doesn't overly concern herself with morality.
Bio: Born into a particularly chaotic part of eastern Europe in the throes of a brutal civil war, Natalia was just one more orphan left to fend more or less for herself. Kyrov is an alias she adopted later, she doesn't know her real last name or even her exact age, as long she can remember her life has been a constant battle for attention, stealing food, avoiding roving soldiers or desperate civilians. In fact she probably wouldn't have survived at all if it weren't for her ability. For quite a long time she didn't realise she was special in anyway until another orphan witnessed her dodge several bullets in a row. After patiently explaining to her that no, most people can't dodge incoming bullets, the boy introduced her to some of his acquaintances, a ring of smugglers profiting off the general chaos. Thus Natalia graduated from scraping by on food scraps to full blown theft, her abilities suited her new career path perfectly and eventually she garnered enough attention to be offered a very unusual job offer. Attend a school for similarly gifted children and secretly protect the daughter of a wealthy business man from anything and anyone that might endanger her. Recognising a once in a life time opportunity to escape the hell hole she was living in, Natalia gladly accepted and, after her very first plane ride eventually found herself on the doorstep of Edwin's Home for the Extraordinarily Gifted.

[Charlia]

Name: CH4RL0773
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Age: 3/17
Position: None
Ability: Wings
Appearance:
Personality: Determined, friendly, cheerful
Bio: She claims to be the daughter of Charlotte Noble and Michael Kincaid, separated from her mother to be grown artificially. However, Charlotte's vehement insistence that she has never had a child casts a shadow of doubt over her tale.

Later revealed that she is a clone of Charlotte created for the sole purpose of causing psychological trauma. After this discovery, she returned to the facility from whence she came.

The rejection caused sanity slippage, and she gave Charlotte over to the scientists, although this resulted in her incarceration.

Executed by electrocution. Will not be missed.

[North Arkana]

Name: Ririchiya Akiyama
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Age: 17
Position: (late-arriving) Student
Ability: Synthesis: Given the proper amount of raw materials, Riri can recreate almost any object in existence. She work work at the molecular level, able to rearrange atoms to create the molecules she needs, but the less changes to the raw material which need to be made the quicker the synthesis occurs. She is limited to organic materials however, and cannot utilize raw materials still attached to their life giving source, at least under normal circumstances she can't. Though it's expected her power levels will rise once telhe lingering damage of her injuries is finally healed by her body.

TL;DR: She can create body parts and organs, and alter the human body so long as she is in direct contact.
Appearance:
Yes, the lab coat is part of the package.

Personality: Naturally curious, loves to learn about new things related to science
Bio: Technically speaking, Ririchiya Akiyama should be dead. During a freak accident at the hospital her father worked at while she was visiting, several oxygen tanks exploded, and shards of metal penetrated her skull, passed through her brain, and exited out the other side. Prior to that day, she had assisted her father at the hospital, making no secret that she possessed an ability invaluable to medical science, and was well liked and respected, even if she didn't actually work there. It was known there were limitations to her ability, but the day she "died" it became apparent that the self-preservation instinct overrode those normal limitation. Without the mental capacity to normally synthesis tissue, her body began rebuilding and repairing her still living brain, siphoning raw materials away from less vital potirons of her body. As a result, she survived, but with portions of her memory damaged, and physically weak, as tissue from her muscular system had been converted to save her life. After several weeks recuperating at hospital her father worked at, she was sent to EHEG to finish out her schooling.

[Imperial Northern States]

Name: Edmund Moriarty
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Age: 16
Position: Student.
Ability: Ability to cause sensations upon skin-to-skin contact. Unfortunately, Edmund can't control the intensity of these sensations, and will almost always manifest themselves as varying degrees of pain. So, he can't touch people, at all.
Appearance (Pics Please): Unkempt dark brown hair, blue eyes, extremely pale skin, almost always hidden by a black mesh mask. White linen gloves, dark grey hoodie. Black jeans.

Personality: Introverted, timid, anxious. All words a causal observer would apply to Edmund. Those who know him would agree with them, but would also add caring, defensive, emotional. He's secretive, distrusting, not of others but himself, yet still manages be a little optimistic.
He's sarcastic in front of those he trusts, for in other situations this would be calling for confrontation.

Bio: Edmund wasn't always afraid, of himself, of others. He used to manage with this... Affliction.
He was never the most social character, avoiding parties and events, not to avoid hurting people as he does now, but because of the crowd that accumulates at such events.
He was born in England, in the county of Surrey, about an hour from London by car or train.
His mother died when Edmund was very young. This never truly effected him, seeing as you can't miss someone you've never known, much to the exasperation of his father.
He enjoys reading and writing poetry, Sci-Fi and fantasy books, playing with and studying science, enjoying card and board games, yet has no love for video games, believing them to be dull.
His ability wasn't always like this. Back then, the effect wasn't as strong, it simply left a slight buzzing sensation, not too dissimilar to the hand buzzer practical joke or a light electrical shock. Unpleasant, but not dangerous.
The change happened over night. The day before, he was shocking his friends and neighbours pet cat. The next?
Well.
22nd of July, 2014. Edmund takes a train into town. The day was busy, the train carriage he occupied was, naturally, crowded. He stood behind a man, blonde, hazel eyes, who wore a short sleeved shirt, dark green with a series of what looked like Chinese characters printed on the front, and denim jeans. The carriage jerked to the side as the train slowed down into the station. The sudden motion caused Edmund to lose his footing, his balance. A reactionary motion forced his arms forward, to grab onto anything with which he can balance, the closest thing being, this man's right arm.
At first, Edmund didn't understand what had happened. Almost instantaneously, the man convulsed in pain. His right arm became rigid and formed angles which shouldn't be physically possible for a man to make, his torso folded in on itself and his head arched backwards.
The sound from his voice, horrifying. After Edmund let go, the man fell to his knees, breathing shallow, ragged breaths. The doors opened then, he ran from the train, terrified. The screams of the man scarred him, leaving permanent marks on his mind, leading to a total fear of skin contact between himself and another human being, scaring himself into covering every part of himself.
Now? Now he's here, to find something, help, mostly, a way to accept the guilt he feels. To be someone different.


...I might have forgotten to do this

[New Decius]

Name: Wilhelm Augustus Kaizer
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Age: 17
Position: Student
Ability: He has dubbed it as Shadowkinesis, but in reality one could in essence say he has power over shadow energy if one were to sound mythical but to speak in terms of science, he has control over dark energy. For one he can morph shadows into three dimensional shapes capable of striking at opponents or being able to as it were use a shadow's eyes as his. He can make his own shadow travel across walls to different places and see through its eyes. However this is difficult to do in less crowded areas because it is more easily noticed that his shadow is missing. Yet he can also see into a persons soul and as it were draw his power from the darkness within them or determine the kind of person they are by measuring the darkness within. This does not allow him to read minds but act as a judge of sorts. His powers also do not work as well during daylight though even he does not know why that is but those that are brave enough to talk about him behind his back chock it up to the darkness within his soul. At night his powers are stronger but during a Full Moon they go completely flat and for the duration of it he is unable to use them though again he does not know why, however during the New Moon his powers are at their absolute strongest due to the total lack of natural light at night.
Appearance:

Personality: Genius level intellect but highly sadistic and cares little for basic human rights. He finds it difficult to comprehend such things as love and compassion and sees them as weaknesses that any sensible person should not possess. Rather stuck up and egotistical due to the environment in which he was raised, that being the lap of luxury and nobility.
Bio: Born into a family of German nobles that were heavily connected to right-wing elements in the government desiring the return of the old German Empire and when Wilhelm was born it was into the true lap of luxury. The finest tutors in the world educated him and he was trained in the arts of piano, violin, fencing, and painting. His powers first began developing around age 8 when he made the shadow of one of his tutors come alive and hurl said tutor out a window. The man died but it was quickly hushed up due to influence of Wilhelm's father. Wilhelm had really begun to master his powers by age 13 which was the time when his father first began to feel threatened that Wilhelm might use his powers to seize the noble titles and riches he held for himself, seeing as once he died all it would go to Wilhelm. He found out about Dr. Uthur's school and immediately began making arrangements for Wilhelm to go there, hoping for him to cool his temper there, make friends, and also for his own self-defense and to make sure Wilhelm could not seize any of his inherent titles or riches earlier than his father hoped. Wilhelm to the contrary made no friends and instead instilled fear in all who met him. His real interest is power.

[Raktio]

Name: Bella Corvette
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Age: 17
Position: Student
Ability: Energy Generation. She generates a short lived exotic energy which she can use to form force fields (around herself), or send out bursts or beams of. This energy will produce a kinetic force like effect, which means while it is invisible it will distort the air, when she flings out about (as a pulse, beam or arc). Additionally she can use it as propulsion which is powerful enough to send her flying (however saying flying is rather tricky, and hovering upright is nearly impossible), and subduedly increase her speed and strength.
Appearance (Pics Please):

Personality: (Experimenting here) She's got a Commander's personality
Bio: Pretty usual life for someone who can blast trees down to splinters in one hit, unless angry she tended to keep her power under control, and until recently she's kept the fact that she had powers hidden from even her parents. However after extensive investigation from the forest service it was discovered that she was the one obliterating random trees. Given the option for either serving time for all the damage she inflicted or going to the EHEG, she decided wisely to go for EHEG.

[The Templar High Council]

Temp

---

Name: Satoshi Kitagawa.

Gender: Masculine.
Sex: Male.
Age: 16.
Position: Student.
Ability: Prowess and Friction. Simply put:

• Prowess: Satoshi is a near-master of multiple styles of martial arts. From Muay Thai and Kung Fu, to Jiu Jitsu and Tae Kwon Do. Despite his somewhat slight frame, his limbs are extraordinarily tough and his core is surprisingly well-built. Only classified as a power because of the age he mastered these arts, he's actually been training since he could walk.
• Friction: Due to his unarmed combat mastery, Satoshi has the unique ability to move with such force that his body creates friction with the air, making combat with Satoshi somewhat... heated. Basically, he moves so fast he sets himself on fire. It's not completely without drawbacks though, prolonged movement at that speed can cause severe burns to extremities.

Appearance: He wears open-toed shoes, short-sleeved shirts, pants that might be called capris if Satoshi wouldn't punch your lights out for insulting his "combat uniform," and a headband. Occasionally wears handwraps to hide burns.

Personality: Nonchalant and laid-back, Satoshi doesn't care much for most things. He silently puts in enough effort to do well, but never brags about it. The only time Satoshi ever really gets excited is while fighting, which he does as often as he can, despite now being at The Home.

Bio: Satoshi was born to an overly caring mother and a father who ran a martial arts dojo. Crazy, I know, but somehow they made it work. From an early age, Satoshi was taught how to fight, and how to use his skills for self-defense only. Problem was, Satoshi put himself in harm's way so he could use his skills, which led to more than a few instances where he was forced to switch schools. Not until recently did his family discover he was Extraordinary. During practice one day, when Satoshi spun for a kick, his leg seemed to spark and catch ablaze. Wearing a gi at the time caused a bit of a panic, but eventually they got the fire out and moved on like all was normal. Until the next day, when Satoshi inflicted severe burns on a punk from another school, and got expelled again. For a time, his parents were unsure of how to proceed. Until eventually, Dr. Uther contacted them and told them his school was the only safe place for those like Satoshi. After a teary farewell, Satoshi was eventually transferred to EHEG, and has of recent been fighting less. Not quitting altogether, but the teachers here are much more effective at stopping fights.

[The Olog-Hai]

Name: Tikhomir Sebastian
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Age: 15ish
Position: Student
Ability : Temperature Control. As in, he can make the temperature rapidly rise or fall, thereby causing some deep shit. The main drawback, really, is that usually he can't really control it. Instead, it reacts to his emotions. If he's pissed, it could drop or rise, depending on the circumstances. You really don't want to be around him when he's angry. Another issue is, though he does have some protection, he's not completely protected against his own power, and it can end badly.
Appearance (Pics Please):

Personality: A kinda chill guy, but he can get angry really quickly. Tries to control his anger, to deal with his powers, but this doesn't always work too well. Slightly shy, and enjoys reading books more than socializing.
Bio: Tikhomir grew up in a nice family. Middle class, not too rich to not have money problems, but not too poor to not be able to deal with them, parts at a time. His parents were nice, and everything seemed to be going well for him. He was doing fine in school, and even was starting to develop a real social life. (:P) Then, his powers began to develop. Mostly, they were minor things, when he got the question wrong in class, or someone called him a name, and people around him began to feel too hot or cold.
Then it began to get worse. Issues in locker rooms led to burst pipes, or burns. Even weirder things happen, and he began to lose the few friends he had. Then, a bully picked on the wrong person. They chose to beat him up. And ended up unconscious with bad frostbite.
He ran away from home after that. (I know, cliche). Soon after that, Dr. Uther found him, and brought him to the school.

[Atlannia]

Name: Tomas Raden
Gender: male
Sex: No...I get banned for rping that...oh...*looks*...male
Age: 16
Position: student

Ability:Tomas is a shapeshifter. He can become any human, animal, or even inanimate object he wishes, just by imagining them. Unfortunately, when he has particularly strong emotions, he can change in rather subtle but important ways, for example if he is feeling angry he might suddenly get a lot bigger, bad as he is already abnormally tall, and ceilings do not appreciate heads trying their level best to crash throough.

Appearance: Blind people don't do pics. We do descriptions. Here's one:
Tomas is 7 ft and 3 inches tall, and of an athletic to slim build. He has a scar on the left side of his face, don't ask him how he got it, it won't be in his bio, he won't like being asked, he may punch you...and it's going to be revealed later. His eyes are amazingly innocent for a person of Tomas' personality, bright wide pools of blue that you feel you could tell anything to, beneath cropped black hair. His face is rather handsome, and he is usually seen smiling and wearing t-shirts and jeans.

Personality: Tomas is highly disdainful towards 'normal' humans, believing that the best situation for the world included them being enslaved by people like him. However, he will only reveal this to people he knows and trusts, and prefers to project an amiable, easy-going side which is not his whatsoever. He is quick to make laugh and farely quick to anger, especially if you mention that bloody scar. He is loyal to his friends, mainly because it takes a lot to become one of them.

Bio:Tomas' parents were normal, growing up in the midlands of England, to be precise, Worcester. If you want to be even more precise, he lived in the St. Peters area of Worcester on the road that goes down the side near Tesco express whose name I've forgotten, but I think may be London road (if you're that bothered look on google maps.) Anyway. His life was pretty normal until he decided it might be fun to have a film night with all of his friends at about the age of 14, which he did. Mum and Dad, being liberal in their beliefs regarding the raising of young Tomas did their duty to the teenagers, providing alcohol and cigarettes (and other substances that do not need mentioning) in great proportion, and everyone was extremely happy, apart from the parents of one boy who received a drunken phone call, however that is for another story which can be taken outside of this thread (it involved a flying blue piano called Derek. Very embarrassing and not something that this particular young reveller is ever likely to forget.) Well, at the end of the night, which came rather earlier than young Tomas had planned, the group were watching Star Wars, a new hope. They had just got to the bit when Vader was having his duel on the death star, and then Tomas, being slightly geeky at the age of 14, had visions running through his head about himself really being their, rather than watching it on mummy and daddy's 50 inch tv with a few too many bottles of beer sloshing merrily in his young stomach. However, these thoughts were interrupted rather rudely (however understandable when the circumstances are considered) by a lot of very unmanly screams (Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!) from the boys sat around with him, and Tomas stood up, wondering why his breathing suddenly sounded all weird, and looked up to the mirror...and then he also screamed...before, with a flash of inspiration, changing his thought back to one of himself.

Tomas' night was ruined, and before he even had a chance to call the family lawyer (people in that part of Worcester all have family lawyers, it's that sort of area) to file a lawsuit against Lucasfilm, his friends had now become his former friends, and were now telling all his friends who had colds or were too busy doing other things to attend his party that Tomas had just become Darth Vader for a bit, and that he was now to be considered a little weird.

Well, that wasn't the worst of it, because who could hear about it but Mr. Plonk, the head teacher...who summoned young Tomas into his dark and austere office, gesturing for him to sit down in a forboding leather chair, which squeeked when the teen placed his posteria upon its well-woarn surface, as if a clan of crazy mice living beneath the all-natural tanned leather had had their favourite cheese-eating party interrupted by an unfortunate earthquake. Well, their was nothing to fear for the young Tomas, because Mr. Plonk actually only wanted to give him a congratulatory certificate and 10 pounds amazon voucher for getting so many merit points this week...but alas, no voucher could Tomas redeem, for it is an unfortunate fact of life that things divine can break and bend the well-layed plans of mice and men, and just as the divine occurrence of the Tomas posteria had destroyed any hope of a cheese-party for the little Mouse clan living their happy life inside Mr. Plonk's chair, so Tomas was suddenly very nervous...their must be more, he thought...and suddenly it happened.
Tomas grew. He grew more muscular and he grew taller and he grew an extra testicle, though Mr. Plonk never got that close to properly validate this claim. He ran out, shouting, leaving the amazon voucher in the hands of his secretary, who used it to buy a new book, proving that all bad things do have happy endings.

Well, bad doesn't quite cover quite how crappy the next 2 years were for young, and then older, Tomas. Because he spent the time roving from place to place, and it quickly became clear, in a melancholy way to him, that the only way he could resist being sent home was to grow big and nasty and fighty and not develop a scar on his face which is not included in this bio. Because humans are truly really nasty gits, are they not? Therefore, Tomas had to run or fight so many police forces in his time, that I'm sorry to say lady's and gentlemen, he got sick of it. Totally. He wandered, friendless, living on the charity of well-meaning people, constantly being moved along by the police, until he met a recruiter for Edwyn's home for the extraordinarily gifted.

'Bloody hell,' he thought. 'What the hell is that?' And so he told him where to go, before he was almost shot by a passing postal worker with a temper. 'Oh why not,' he thought, 'It can't be much worse than this.' And so he went big and fast, scaring Granny Mable out doing her shopping, and caught up with the recruiter, and apologised for telling him where to go, and agreed to come over to the home. And that's really where he is now.

Bio: William James Carmichael Jr. was born in Memphis, Tennessee to a up and coming blues singer as a mom and a professional poker player as a dad. Will or "BJ", as he is sometimes called, grew up in a life of uncertainty with the odds stacked against him. He grew up in south west Memphis and went to school in the city, where he had to deal with ghetto kids and country hicks. He would often resort to outsmarting bullies and avoided most people, only choosing to associate with people he found to be "of a similar class", no matter the color or gender. His powers started developing right around the time he picked up poker and blackjack. He would bring decks of cards to school and during recess, would run a underground poker ring, making a lot of money, until the teachers caught him and would force him to give it back. This went on for a few years, until he was in high school. He ended up beating one of the school "gangs" in a game Faro, the gang chased him out of the cafeteria and down the hall until the had him cornered. Right as they were about to beat him, his powers, which until now, he had used for fancy card tricks, became active and he used his deck of cards to beat all 7 boys. As a result, he was taken to the school nurse and subsequently expelled from school for fighting. His parents, worried that he might be developing some sort of condition, sent him to every doctor in the area. Each one said that he was healthy and his powers perplexed each one. Will didn't worry, though, his dad had won the Poker World Championships and his mother was picked up by this local record label and was set to start recording her first mainstream album. He ended up getting a visit from a representative from EHEG. After a long discussion, his parents decided it was best for him to go there, and he was signed up for the second semester.
