Edwin's Home for the Extraordinarily Gifted (Char/OPEN)

[Shyluz]

Alrighty, so everyone who's apped at all shall be considered accepted, I finally got a shitty little archive up, link's in the OP.

[The GAmeTopians]

I stuck my app in there. What are we gonna do with two tech staff though?

[Cathorcea]

Sorry, kinda made the bio a personality thing. Will fix that here.

Drury was raised in a highly religious household. He was a bright child and truly enjoyed the time spent in church with his friends and family. Until his 13th birthday that is. At that time, a power outage caused by an electrical storm crashed the church's breaker. When Drury's parents attempted to bring with them near a candle, his skin began smoking and causing him a very great deal of pain. Of course, this was seen as evil by the members of his congregation, and soon after began to break Drury of his "curse". Being a sheltered child, he was understandably frightened. But in his fear, he released his power over darkness and slew the lot of them. Terribly frightened, Drury ran. It was du to the timely intervention of the EHFTEG staff that Drury was found before the authorities got to him. He spent the rest of his youth at Edwin's, excelling at foreign languages and physics. After graduation, Drury was offered a position teaching those two subjects but declined. Two years later, he was found badly bruised outside the cafe, mumbling the name "Larson" over and over. After he recovered, he accepted the position of French teacher, but wanted to train himself first. So, he now works as the assistant to any of the teachers, while continuing his education. But the question still remains: who is this "Larson" and what does he have to do with Jonathon Drury?

[Faal Lot Himdah]

God FUCKING DAMMIT FAAL! You had to make an IT char.
Name: Scott Slade
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Age: 19
Position: Staff, Computer System Administrator and Student Security (The reason for this is below, in the ability section)
Ability: Scott has the power to nullify other powers to put it simply. When he was a student, his power formed a sort of nullification bubble in a 10 foot radius around him. He sometimes had trouble turning it on and off. Now, he can control its activation, and it forms a beam in the direction that he directs it for about 10 feet. However, it will deactivate the power of anyone it touches, not just his intended target.
Appearance:

Image dimensions are weird.

Personality: Serious but friendly. He is always happy to help a student out, whether the problem is with technology or a student (with or without powers. I'm looking at you and your perv, Faal).
Bio: Scott was abandoned at birth in London, England on the doorstep of Taylor's Orphanage for London Boys, with only a baby crib and a slip of paper with his name on it. The owners of the orphanage, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, were quite nice and took great care of him. There were only 10 other boys at the orphanage when he arrived, but as he grew that number fluctuated with adoptions and new arrivals, and he made new friends. The day he turned fourteen broke through the boring rhythm of his life in the orphanage. At that point there were only five other boys in the orphanage, so Mrs. Taylor decided to take him to a popular restaurant nearby. Coincidentally, the restaurant was almost empty that day, with the only other customers a middle-aged man and a teen boy accompanying him. Even more coincidentally, these customers were Edwin and one of the first students at the Home, returning to that students home town for a meal at the boy's favorite restaurant. While both them and Scott were eating their meals, the boy attempted to use his power. Strangely, the boy was unable to. The boy told Edwin, and the man turned his head to look at Scott curiously. When Scott got up and went to the bathroom, the boy was able to use his power again. After Mrs. Taylor and Scott left, Edwin approached Scott with a formal invitation to the Home, describing it as a prestigious academy and not the home for children with powers that it is. Scott accepted, and with Mrs. Taylor's permission, went with the Professor after gathering his meager belongings from the orphanage. He had a great time at the Home, and his grades were perfect, with his favorite subjects being technology and math. When Scott graduated, he was invited to join the staff. He gladly accepted, and that brings us to the present day.

I can feel all the love in this app towards my characters and me.... By the way, it's Isa's job to fix any sort of electronics, and to help with computers. Ok? Ok.

I'm afraid to ask but.


Arousal based power?

[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.

Personality: INFP

[Sanabel]

Name: Benito Rivera
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Age:) 16
Position: Student
Ability: Able to turn himself and objects/people he touches invisible. His weakness is that the mass of everything he is touching can be no greater than double that of himself. He also must be touching that which his is turning invisible.
Appearance:

Personality: He is friendly and loyal towards those he likes, but arrogant and cold to most others. He is quiet and observant, but has bouts of talkativeness. He can be witty at times. Overall, he is intelligent, and can be charming. Courteous and somber seems to be his typical mood.
Bio:
In January of 1945, Nazi medical genius Anton Saller was 22, fresh out of the University of Frankfurt, working in Dachau as the concentration camp's doctor's lab assistant. A genius in the field, he began unethical experimentation on the prisoners, without the permission of the camp's administration despite their knowledge. He had just about reached a breakthrough in genetic manipulation, when the Nazis surrendered. With the help of his family, he escaped to Argentina, where he lived outside of Bariloche, well into his eighties. Throughout his life there, he paid human traffickers to kidnap children for him to experiment on. He succeeded in genetic splicing and manipulation, but none of his subjects could survive.

Sixteen years before the occurrence of the RP, Benito Rivera was born in Buenos Aires, to a secretary and English teacher. They lived well, with a comfortable, middle class life. Until one day, when Benito was six. He was walking down a side street, when he saw a dropped bag of money. Leaving his father, he sprinted towards it, only to be whisked off by human traffickers hired by Saller. Put in a drug induced coma and sent to Bariloche, he was experimented on for four years; successfully. He developed the ability not only to turn invisible, but to also apply that ability to other people in objects. After the successful experiment, he was trained to use his abilities in every way imaginable, by the elderly Saller. Benito spent the entire time in a drugged state. On the day before his eleventh birthday, Saller's compound was raided by a joint Israeli-Argentine taskforce hunting Nazis. Despite being rescued, his story was covered up by both the Israelis, Argentines, and Germans. Forgetting everything but his training due to muscle memory, he regained full consciousness in a Buenos Aires hospital soon after his return to his parents. He was told he was hit by a car on that day, and had been in a coma since then. He resumed his life, taught by tutors to catch up his intelligence and knowledge; even surpassing most of his peers. He was visited by a team of physchologists and therapists to help him cope, and mentally he fully recovered from the lack of memories and somehow learning German while in his coma. *wink wink* No one but his family realized his new abilities however. Realizing they couldn't teach him to use them to his full potential, they contacted EHEG, and decided to send him there.

[Shyluz]

Name: Allen 'En' O'Cullen
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Age: 17.33
Position: Student Body President
Ability: She can turn into a cat. Yes, a black cat. You heard right. Shittiest power of all time. She can turn into a cat whenever she wants, or during moments of extreme embarrassment. However, she has no control over when she becomes human again. Also, when she turns back, she has no clothes on whatsoever. Not even her glasses.
Appearance:

Personality: Most of you have met a variation of En. If you haven't, well... a happy-go-lucky self-hemophobe with a thing for spicy food.
Bio: En was born to a mafia don's mistress. As such, she was pretty much on her own from the get go. Wandering around, and for a very long time she was mistaken as a boy... for reasons that she's aware of, but she doesn't like them. Let's just say she safe from the campus pervert. Anyway, so eventually her power manifested, and it royally screwed her over, as she was a leader of a gang. The second the power was activated, which was during a drug deal gone bad. Well, needless to say it was kind of weird when the leader of a rival gang was suddenly a black cat.

It was a bad day. Because not only after seeing their boss become a cat, they saw her naked as well when she turned back. It was a bad day for Allen. She fled, eventually becoming a drifter in the New York City area, and she got her meals by pretending to be an actual cat. And it worked, however, she eventually was found out by a certain Uther. Where she was eating some tuna from Dr. Uther, the Headmaster, when she turned back into a human. Again, awkward as hell.

She was then sent to the Academy. It's her second year here, after all.

Name: Ellie Harrolston
Gender: Female
Sex: Feminine :3
Age: 15
Position: Student!
Ability (Be specific and explain it fully please): Weather Manipulation- Ellie can create and manipulate the weather. She hasn't mastered anything more devastating than a small snowstorm, though, and if she tries anything larger she could be effected mentally and/or physically.
Appearance:

Personality: Kind, sweet, friendly, helpful, trusting, easily upset, happy-go-lucky
Bio: ((I kinda winged this lol))
Ellie was born on December 16th, one of which would bring quite a large snowstorm the moment she was brought into the world. It could've been a coincidence, or maybe it had been a sign? Ellie had been raised as a single child with two normal parents, making sure she grew up to be their perfect little angel. Well, that is until she learned about her powers. It started off unnoticeable; a little bunch of clouds here, a little shower there...but she soon began to test her abilities, and her parents would soon figure out. She'd always be outside in the worst storms, and they'd always beckoned for her to come in but she never listened. Seeing as this could get out of hand, and not knowing how to deal with it, the two parents kicked Ellie from the household, forcing her onto the streets. Not too soon after did the school find her, taking her in. This is her first year at the school, and she's past excited. She'd never let what her parents did to her deter her happiness.
