The Academy of Vendace Halls - Out of Character

[CaughtInTheRiddle]

Character no. 1





Melody Aveline Faunt

Age:
18

Gender:
Female

Pure Demon

Most Used Power:
For a female, Melody’s physical abilities are rather high; she is speedy and stealthy which can come in handy in close range battle; she has also come closer to mastering the elements of Earth and Fire, therefore leading her closer to the power of Darkness; she has learnt how to create, manipulate and destroy matter. This power, however, can take quite the toll on her if used too much. Sometimes it would be easier to run from the battle than to stand there and waste the time and energy on deconstructing the matter of her opponent, other times, it can lead to immense pain and very rarely cause her to start breaking the matter of her own body down.

Personality:
Cool, calm and collected, it takes quite a lot for Melody’s rage to break. She is easily frustrated and tends to exclaim her words when she is; however, she is almost never angered. Sitting back and watching is her forte in a crowd of people she doesn’t know; however, with friends, she can be quite the talker. For a Demon, she comes off seemingly innocent; she is childish more often than serious, but knows when to hold her tongue. She is quite the smartarse and will throw sarcastic comments about like a never ending game of hot potato.

She is loyal to a T; she would follow her close friend, Vincent, to the ends of the realms and back; despite the fact she has no romantic feelings for him at all – she finds him too demonic (the irony befalls her). She isn’t very respectful of the lower races; she believes they don’t deserve it unless they earn it.

Biography:
Orphaned at a young age, due to the holy wars, Melody was subject to harsh living conditions. She made it her mission to only survive off the nobles; considering they could afford to do so. As a result, she mastered slipping through state of the art security charms, completely undetected. This led her to the Venetti house; a family stationed high up in the Demons world of politics.

It was in Vincent’s bedroom that she was finally caught in her charade of sneaky antics. The proceeding conversation occurred:


Vincent: “What are you doing?”
Melody: “Nothing, what are you doing?”
Vincent: “Going to bed; are you stealing from me?”
Melody: “No,”
Vincent: “Good, because that would be bad,”
Melody: “How bad?”
Vincent: “I’d have to kill you,”
Melody: “That is bad,”
Vincent: “Indeed... My parents are coming, get in the closet, because I’ll die if they find you,”


Upon the coming and going of his parents, she proceeded to ask if she could leave his closet and house, in which he bluntly denied her permission; she was stuck there. Through the night she talked to him, speaking of ways he could overthrow his father and take the position as Head of the Venetti family and stated that she could help him if he so wished. It was really from then, where their friendship formed; she would continue to live in his closet (without his parents knowing of their extra house mate), while helping the young Demon to take his rightful place.

Through the years, Melody (also known as the Venetti boy's Closet Demon), has met many noble families and has become quite known within the noble ranks. She often stands at Vincent’s side and continues to advise him on the political and family matters he has to deal with. Upon taking charge of the Venetti family, Vincent allowed Melody to have her own room and a place within the Venetti Manor; though, on the odd occasion, he still finds her sleeping in his new, bigger and more comfortable closet.

Rosalina Bell Forveus

Age:
18

Gender:
Female

Most Used Power:
Rosalina Bell outshines in the elements of air and water; this therefore draws her closer to the power of light. She shines by means of curative charms; healing powers. Her physical abilities betray her; in consequence she situates herself in the posterior end of a battle, casting curative charms on injured allies. With sensitivity to the power of the mind, Rosalina has begun to dabble in the art of illusions and other psychic abilities. This strength however does not excel her curative charms by any means; nevertheless she is a fast learner and appears to be developing swiftly with her mind capabilities.

Personality:
Due to Rosalina Bell’s pure and untainted temperament, she exists as sickly sweet. Her delicate, high voice doesn’t vocalize unless necessary. She ascertains that she is a female, the frail gender, and that her position in being is submission to a male in which case he will offer protection. Although Rosalina does not deem everyone to be of equal value she does not act in a way that is demeaning, even when she is being belittled. She identifies and has faith in her own significance, thus does not believe she has to debate it with those clearly beneath her. When engaging in a hostile encounter, Rosalina, akin to a true angel, will attempt to bring accordance before battle. Should she fail, one finds that she will merely evade attacks until her enemy enervates and she can simply walk away; though this has been proven complex at times due to her benevolent nature. Should the fight be of a more intense nature she will play with the elements of air or water, given that she is too feeble to brawl physically.

Biography:
Born into aristocracy Rosalina glistens with purity. Since she was infantile Rosalina was edified in the ways of primeval and rather chauvinist behaviour and ideologies. She has been educated in the original traditions of the angels, predominantly due to her father being an adjudicator of the high court. Rosalina’s chauvinist behaviour is also profoundly influenced due to the lack of her mother who was exiled for heresy by her own husband. High Judge Romiel, Rosalina’s father, was obligated to banish his wife due to her immersed involvement in one of the holy wars. High Judge Romiel forbid even the slightest chance that Rosalina would trail her mother’s footprints and thus as soon as he banished his wife he set about educating his daughter as traditionally as possible. Before she received her letter of acceptance from Head Master Socratic she was inculcated to study under strict conditions. Should she not be studying, then she was standing next to her father in assemblies of the angels.

Christopher James Sayian

Age:
18

Gender:
Male

Most Used Power:
Complimentary to Christopher his physical capabilities serve him well; agile, strong and swift. These qualities grant him pride within himself. Upon drawing himself closer to mastering the elements that are earth and water, he has acquired the power to manipulate electromagnetic radiation – that is to say, Christopher captures the waves of energy flowing around him and manipulates their forms (as such, radio waves, micro waves, infrared waves & x-rays). Should he bring this power into play, one cannot stress enough the danger that besieges it. If Christopher is not cautious enough he can drain himself of all his magical energy, which would result with him, unintentionally tapping into his individual life force and exhausting himself of that also.

Personality:
Christopher’s pride, one could say his self-importance, stems from his physical qualifications. That is not to say he isn’t with his allures; he’s charming and exceedingly charismatic. Eccentric is a word that best describes his ways. He doesn’t have a tendency to waste time on formalities and official procedures. Pride in himself and his race is evident and respect or reverence isn’t something Christopher possesses for those he knows not and sustains no problem in sharing his dogma. He has the drollness of a mordant cynic; he’s sarcastic. Christopher sustains a weakness for trouble and should he find none he will craft it himself. Not anything is of worry to him, negligent and blasé, he can bear a great deal before he snaps. Protective over those he acknowledges as friends (especially Rosalina Bell), and is quick to jump to their aid. Delving into the unholy practices of the angels is not infrequent of him.

Biography:
The head of the Sayian family, Christopher’s father, holds the position as General for one of the angel armies. Thus Christopher was trained from early years to be at a physical peak, in which he succeeded immensely. The success of his training brought with it the approval of his father and Christopher has grown to be the pride and joy of the Sayian family. In his father words, “Out of all of my sons, I have complete confidence that it will be Christopher who will lead the Sayian name into the highest of nobles.“ Taking into account the military background of his family, Christopher was taught respect and obedience for those who are higher than him. In addition, knowledge is of significance and he was trained to sit and learn. It was in his strict learning conditions that he met Rosalina Bell, an unusually pure angel with even more unusual primeval ideologies. He befriended the girl and has not been separated since.

Character no. 2







Vincent Alexander Venetti

Age:
18

Gender:
Male

Pure Demon

Most Used Power:
Vincent’s physical capabilities exceed that of an average Demon; he is faster, stronger and more agile than most – a feat he prides himself in. Vincent has mastered the element of Fire and is close to achieving Air; this has drawn him towards the power of darkness, a power which he is willing to accept with wide, open arms. This has allowed him to gain the power of manipulating and draining life-forces, also giving him power to manipulate the will of the dead; not yet allowing to raise the dead, however, manipulating a ghost or a ghoul to do his bidding; however, he has not quite mastered the technique, therefore, on the rare occasion, it has the potential to backfire on him.

Personality:
Vincent is a natural born leader, he knows how to intimidate, how to control and how to be in control. Although he doesn’t have a short fuse, his demeanour is that of pure evil; unlike his friend, Melody, he takes on the persona of a true Demon. He has little patience for those ranked below him; which to him is everyone, and he doesn’t take disrespect lightly. Callous to those who mean nothing to him (this again is everyone) he has no problem in disciplining where he sees fit.

Biography:
Being born into nobility justifies Vincent’s lack of patience and respect for those beneath him. From an early age Vincent was taught that being at the top was of the greatest importance. The moment he realized that he and his family, although noble, were not at the top his demeanour changed to a great degree. It is an expected stage of development for the eldest son of a demon family to seize charge as soon as possible. This for Vincent happened at quite an early age. His father though not pleased that his son now surpassed him permitted the change of leadership without question. Upon Vincent gaining authority of the Venetti family he also gained the attention of some of the higher ranked officials within the underworld. This pleased him and his family greatly and with Vincent in charge the Venetti family over the years has grown in power and status. Vincent’s reasoning for acceptance at the Academy of Vendace Halls is primarily due to the fact that he wishes to follow the family tradition and graduate like those before him.

Alrighty, after all that screwing around with Character Sheets, we're ready to start work on the IC, which, HOPEFULLY, should be up by tomorrow, my time.

In the meantime, SweetCinderelly and I are signing off and we'll be back on tomorrow to cut, polish, fix, accept and create everything.

Night all (:

Done!
Was going to be a badass angel, but there's already two of them so I thought I'd try something a lil' different...

Appearance:


Name: Seth Northey

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Power: Seth's entire body has undergone extensive improvement. He is quite a bit stronger, faster, and more dexterous then human average under the best conditions, but when adrenaline pumps into his body, these abilities spike, surpassing mere human beings. He has been improved mentally, but compared with the rest of the students he is not particularly intelligent. Other abilities improved upon include regeneration, concentration, and resistance to injury.

Control Over Power: Seth's power is constantly in effect at the best of times. However, when Seth gets angry (which is often), due to his enhancements, he gets far more angered then normal, and his abilities spike as a result. He has been known to get to the point where his anger goes past his self-control, although he is relatively good at keeping a lid on it until it is needed.

Personality: Seth is an angry person. Irritable and grumpy even at his best, at worst he is downright vicious, if not uncontrollably violent. This makes him superbly hard to talk to. Those who do find Seth to be more tempered and thoughtful then appearances suggest. He tends to shun company, is it, in turn, tends to either shun him or make him pissed. As such, he often performs badly in class, but does well on homework and studying. Judgmental and brash, he rarely minces words or lies, preferring to state exactly as he feels. Since usually he feels angry, Seth has an impressive swearing problem.

Biography: I became a mutant the old-fashioned way; kidnapped at an early age, followed by torturous experimentation by unscrupulous scientific assholes. Well... that's kind of an exagerration. They didn't exactly kidnap me. They just did some paperwork and picked me up at the orphanage when I was a little kid... eleven, twelve? Something like that.

The experiments weren't torture, either. They weren't fucking GENTLE, tell ya that, but we aren't talkin', like, thumbscrews or anything. They even doped me up for the big operations... guess they didn't want to hear the screamin'? They were assholes, all business, no talk. Kind of like the dicks you meet at posh schools like this one... I mean, I would guess, anyways? I hear this place is pretty, uh, different.

Eventually I grew up, all of fifteen years old and swearin' like a sailor, and it became hard to contain me. I'm a fucking riot when I'm angry, and they tended to piss me off, y'know? I wanted to get out. Eventually I found the way... the Director of the project came in to have a personal one-on-one with me. So I broke his nose and shoved the bone six inches into his brain. The scientist guys weren't sure what to do about their paycheck fountain turning into a corpse. I took advantage of that, and made my way out.

Took me two days, but I finally got arrested. They found me, tired, hungry, with blood on my knuckles and a few beat-down muggers around me. They didn't like seeing a kid without a home. That's too simple, too merciful. 'Stead, they put me through foster care.

Not really gonna talk about that. Spent time in and out of homes, no real big deal. I started destroying my classwork, too. They couldn't understand how a punk kid like me was getting straight A's, but it's pretty fucking simple. I'm smart. Not sure if I always have been, or if it's a result of the experiments or whatever, but that shit just came easy to me. Studying and doing homework was even kind of fun; I liked using my head. Almost as much as I liked using my fists.

I started roaming the streets, was the main problem. I'd get all fired up about something, creep outta my room, and just... take walks. And I'd beat the shit out of anyone who gave me trouble. Took on whole gangs of guys and beat them till everything was bloody... I always got better. They didn't. Not always.

And that's where you guys come in. Apparently, if I promise 'good behavior', you'll give me all the thinking I'll ever need. No more sissy high school crap, we're talking hard classes and motherfuckers for classmates. Guys that can set you on fire or are actually demons and all that jazz. Let me tell you.

I can't fucking wait.

[Satheon]

Name:

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Base Animal:

Personality: Posh, but so very sweet. Cecilia is a particularly endearing young lady and not only for her pretty face. Despite her icy appearence she is a warm and caring girl who would rather befriend an outcast than shun them for popularity in a social circle. However, there is a bit of a snap to her. Cecilia has no trouble getting into a fight when it is unavoidable, though she believes violence and conflict is not the better way of solding differences. She strives to stay calm and collected, but don't back her into a corner.

Biography: The was a powerful arctic wolf pack in Canada, dominant in the northern parts of the country, roaming from one coast to another. During one of their hunts they stumbled upon a little curled up ball of white fur. Thinking it might be a pup from a fellow pack, one of the female picked it up and braught it to their den. When she finally got home, the pack leader came to sniff the pup. He stepped back and growled. Suddenly, the alpha female turned into a human woman and touched the wolf's head, kneeling betweem him and the pup.
"What is it Ashton?", and the male turned into a man.
"The pup is not a wolf Shelagh."
The woman turned and picked up the soft white ball, warm and sleeping since in her care. Shelagh turned it to look closely at it's face. A fox! It seems her maternal instincts betrayed he nose. The arctic fox pup slowly turned into a baby human girl.
"She's a shifter too! We can't leave her out in the wild, Ashton. She would die!"
"And what do you propose? We raise her as one of our own!? Foxes are not in our class Shelagh."
"But who knows where her family is! They probably think her dead anyway, or maybe even simply abandoned her; she might have been the runt in the litter."
Ashton looked away and pondered for several seconds. "She will not have our social privileges when we return to the city.", and he turned back into a wolf to trot away, with the rest of the pack.

Cecilia had no idea who her birth parents were. It mattered little, she was pampered by her adoptive parents. Not having a social stature did not affect her much, but she knew it caused them some hardship. Other high clans frowned upon them adopting a fox pop when they were wolves, saying it stained their once-powerful name and ridiculed them. The girl did all she could not to be a burden. Not because of guilt, because of gratitude and love! She did as they beckoned and learned to predict their intentions and do it before they even had to ask. One day, after years of secret practicing during her young life, she finally was able to turn into a wolf. She raced to show Shelagh, her mother, who kneeled beside her and cried, hugging her.

"You should not have done this for us, Cecilia." The girl turned human.
"But, won't it make everything easier?" She asked, about nine at that point.
"Adult and clan politics are... complicated, but it is very touching. Very touching." Shelagh pulled her daughter out in front of her and looked her straight in the eyes. "Never deny who you really are. As people that can change skins at will, it is important to never lose track of where you started, or else you might not come back the same. Obsession with becoming something else has consumed number of shifters throughout time."

Cecilia spent the following years studying and learning to control her ability, further mastering he wolf transformation and more recently the snow leopard. She can't seem to grasp becoming something different (the arctic fox, white wolf and snow leopard resemble each other in many ways), and hopes her admittance into Vendace Halls will help with that.

GRRRR! ... I mean... RAWR!!!

[AllStar]

Appearance:

Spoiler

Name: Antoinette “Anne” Tyson

Age:
18

Gender: Female

Base Animal: phoenix


Biography: Born into a noble family, Anne was groomed and trained in the arts of a shifter from a very young age. Her father is the ruler of a kingdom in the west and he married into an even richer family from the south. The two have merged their lands to create the Kingdom of Aadein. Antoinette’s father holds the emblem of the phoenix. The phoenix is characterized by its power, grace and elegance and Antoinette doesn't fall short. When properly dressed and placed in a formal setting, she is a beauty. However, she grew sick and tired of the restricting world of the high class and yearned for a way to escape from it. Although she had been trained to be an agile shifter, was in top physical shape, and had mastered her parents animal counterparts, she had never been able to fight real battles. Her inexperience and naïve mind are her biggest weaknesses. The letter that had arrived just a little before her 18th birthday is what gave her the chance she needed to get away. She also hasn't been able to shift into a different human appearance and hopes that this school will help her reach that goal.

Personality: Just like a teenager who has been released from the grips of high school life, Anne wants to do nothing short of everything. Her curiosity and desire to experience new things in life are what fuels her every day. Unlike the mannered, respectable, woman she was raised to be, here at the school she is playful, energetic, and also quite sarcastic. Her sarcasm, however much she finds humorous, others can find it to be slightly offensive and brusque. Anne also possess the greatest ability to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Trouble always seems to find her and if it can’t, her curiosity always seems to lead her straight to it.

[Satheon]

I think it could be very entertaining for the rebellious noble shifter to get the sweet vagabond shifter into trouble :-p
