Name: Bran Pyrrhus
Age (only 14-18): 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: Brown-skinned, fluffy but short loosely curled hair, baby-faced (appears 12/13), 5'8" (173 cm)
Personality: Stubborn, honest to a fault, always seeks to help others at expense to himself, often analyzes but sometimes misses crucial information, always has something to prove
History: Bran's family has always had a rough time. When his father's law firm was dissolved as a result of internal corruption, his family was ousted onto the streets when he was only four years old. The family hopped up and down the coast and tried to find a new place to settle, but no one would take a risk lawyer with a bad history, especially not in an economy as bad as it was at the time. This meant Bran had to move between schools a lot, so he never really had any friends. The only things constant in his life were his family, his music, and the surf which always made him feel at home. He never really cared about the impact he left on the places he visited, so his actions often had troublesome consequences. In one instance, he turned a school pool into a wavy mess by inserting a homemade waterproof speaker at the bottom. Just to see what would happen. Labeled as a troublemaker, his thoughtful mind went unappreciated, so he continued to keep to himself. When the instructor told him to write down a word, Bran went with the one thing that remained with him in the absence of his parents: the waves of sound and sea that had been his accompaniment his whole life.The Skyline Institute is Bran's chance to restore credibility to his family name, set himself up for life, and prove to himself that he has worth all in one year. But it's going to be absolute hell if God's Blight has anything to say about it.
Nationality: United States of America
Word (include description of all of its powers, not just what you want it to do): Wave
The word wave will be used as described by the following definitions:
noun
1. a disturbance on the surface of a liquid body, as the sea or a lake, in the form of a moving ridge or swell.
2. any surging or progressing movement or part resembling a wave of the sea:
a wave of the pulse.
3. a swell, surge, or rush, as of feeling or of a certain condition:
a wave of disgust sweeping over a person; a wave of cholera throughout the country.
4. a widespread feeling, opinion, tendency, etc.:
a wave of anti-intellectualism; the new wave of installment buying.
5. a mass movement, as of troops, settlers, or migrating birds.
6. an outward curve, or one of a series of such curves, in a surface or line; undulation.
7. an act or instance of waving.

The word's impact will therefore be the following:
1. Emotional manipulation: "WAVE" will create an electromagnetic pulse blast that manipulates the minds of those within the 5m radius to feel the emotion that Bran wishes. This involuntarily works on both allies and enemies unless protected by a surface that inhibits EM signal progression. Best used on a large mass of enemies to make the backfire on allies worthwhile. It can also short out electronics within the initial radius or travel radius if Bran does not terminate the signal in time.
2. Light Manipulation: "WAVE" stimulates a stream or instance of photon bursting that can be anywhere on the electromagnetic spectrum. Because "WAVE" only controls the wave-like properties of photons, Bran cannot alter the collisions of the particle-like properties of a photon, although the strength, speed, and frequency are within his control. This means that it is possible for his projectiles to completely pass through an opponent that is invisible because he cannot alter the collision properties to make them visible by bouncing the photons back.
3. Sound Manipulation: "WAVE" adjusts the density of the air surrounding Bran, which can pass messages far away or, if close (within the initial 5m radius), cause a pushing or cutting wind.
4. Water Manipulation: Similarly to sound, "WAVE" will manipulate the density of areas of water in order to cause a shift in the liquid's movement, thus creating current and waves.
5. Solid Manipulation: Sound travels fastest through solids, and this wave motion slams like a truck. Can split imperfect surfaces ().
NOTE: All of the above are projectile motions in one way or another because of the traveling nature of waves. The 5m radius is where the instance begins, but it ends whenever Bran stops sending his thoughts to the affected body of matter or stops sending out electromagnetic instances. The above applications are listed in rising order of energy consumption.
6. Special Technique- Mass Motion: Excuse the pun please. "WAVE" combines aspects of the above powers in order to maneuver matter in waves around him, whether in a singularity or an outward pulse. Because this is a combination ability, its use causes extreme exhaustion and is best used as a finishing move.

Word Range (2-7.5 meters): 5.0 meters
Word Location: Center of the chest
Abilities (optional): Above-average speed, excellent endurance, tactical mind
Other (optional): Weaknesses include stubborn nature, visual impediment (requires thick glasses to correct vision to 20/20), pitiful physical strength

Rejected on the basis that the word section of the application is incomplete. Jacen would be able to manipulate anything, not just others (although he cannot create anything to manipulate). So yes, he would be able to create complex machines out of random parts--just keep in mind that he'll need the components he requires to already be within the parts. He'd also be able to handle anything with skill, such as picking up a sword and using it proficiently. Lastly, Jacen would be good at treating wounds with his hands. Other than that, your application is fine.

Name: Ray "Spike" Crassins
Age (only 14-18): 16
Gender: Male
Appearance:



Personality: Lazy, open minded, curious. These three personality traits are the most seen with Spike, although he has a few more, whom fall to the background as he mostly goes his own way.

History:

Born from a American father and a Japanese mother, Ray was more or less an outsider in Japan. Although it didn't bother him much. As his father tried to push him into the direction he wanted, his mother on the other hand told Ray to follow his own dreams and be who he wanted to be.
With this a struggle between his mother and father broke out, after a few serious fights and didn't end well. Within the fight, his father had grabbed his mother, and as she tried to get away from him, tripped and bashed her head against the coffee table. His father got arrested a few days later, questioned and released again. Although Ray didn't wanted to do anything with him anymore, and tried to get away as far as possible from him! With this, Ray applied to Skyline in the hopes of never returning to him again!

Nationality:

Word: Blood: The ability to manipulate his own blood and that of others, to the point of turning the blood into weapons.
He also can change the temperament of others, change their bloodflow faster or even to a certain speed that the entire bloodflow stops, causing an hartattack.
Ray can also manipulate and create sap and juices of plants, although these aren't used for battlepurpose.

The downside towards this ability is the fact that a human body can only lose a certain amount of blood, if Ray dries out his body, or those of others, he can seriously injure himself or others, even taking their lives if he wished.

Word Range: 6 meters.
Word Location: Right arm.

Other (optional):
Ray is a heavy smoker.
Once his power activates, Ray will start wearing two rings, one on both hands.

Rejected, but only because of an incomplete description of his word. Spike would also be able to create and manipulate the sap or juices of plants as well as manipulate people's temperaments. In addition any noun words are able to create the noun, so Spike doesn't actually have to use his own blood-- but he can if he wants to. And the 6 meter range would only apply whenever he manipulates other people's blood. :) Aside from those things, there are several minor grammatical errors such as the lack of capitalization of 'American' and 'Japanese', plus a misspelling and a sentence fragment. But all and all, an interesting application and a welcome addition.

Here goes!

Name: Kylie Reith

Age (only 14-18): 17

Gender: Female

Appearance: Kylie is somewhat taller than average, considering her gender and age. She stands at about 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 meters), thus giving her body a lithe and limber form. Despite her thin appearance, her athleticism grants her excellent flexibility, agility, and decent speed. Her hair is chestnut, long, and slightly wavy; when down, it reaches to just above the middle of her back. Her eyebrows are thin and arched, her eyes narrow, and her irises the same color as her hair. Her skin is pink (between pale and tanned) and, without the aid of some makeup, slightly wrinkled around the eyes. For this reason, she is rarely seen without makeup on. Her bust is small and her arms are long and thin, which contrasts with her wide hips and visibly muscular legs. She has a flat stomach, with her ribs partially exposed due to her skinniness and her unwillingness to overeat.

Personality: Kylie has an obsession with her looks that often leads to her worrying about her makeup, her hair, and her body. She is ashamed of her small bust, which is probably (and perhaps ironically?) her biggest insecurity. She is often driven to exercise and go on strict diets. She is therefore very sensitive of others’ views of her, but she has recently been trying to get over this. Kylie is a happy-go-lucky, giggly individual but her feelings are easily hurt, leading to either sadness or anger. Due to her hobbies, she has also developed a competitive spirit that emerges every now and again. She has streaks of being rebellious and irresponsible, but that’s mainly part of the altered image she has cultivated for herself due to her social life. She’s not unintelligent, but often comes across as such.

History: Kylie was born in the rich part of Chicago to a lawyer mother and a doctor father, both of whom rarely had the time to spend at home with their daughter. This led to a few issues for Kylie growing up, mainly a lack of real attachment and even slight resentment for her parents. As she grew up, Kylie took up such hobbies as playing sports like soccer and lacrosse, singing, and running. However, as she grew older, she fell in love with two activities in particular: dancing and cheerleading. Meanwhile, she grew and became prettier and more popular. Consequently, upon arriving to her private high school, Kylie had a large network of equally as popular friends. However, due to her already somewhat rebellious nature respecting her parents, as well as her friend group, Kylie quickly fell into a life of partying, drinking, drugs, coming home late, boys, and insecurities. It took her parents until the end of her junior year in high school to realize the path their daughter was going down. After much deliberation, they took Kylie to Springfield and asked her if she could see an island in the sky. When she replied that she could, her parents offered her the proposition that if she attended Skyline, she would be able to graduate without having to actually take any classes but still enter in any lucrative career she wanted. The part about not going to class appealed to her most. Well, the money didn’t sound too bad either. Her parents warned her, in all fairness, that the school is dangerous and not everyone made it out alive, but just to spite her parents, she decided she’d enroll.

Nationality: American

Word: Spirit
1) Fill herself or organisms within her range with energy, enthusiasm, happiness, and even mania.

2) Drain herself or organisms within her range emotionally, leading to more negative moods.

3) Temporary manipulation of temperament, disposition, mood, and attitude to be positive or negative.

4) Create and manipulate alcohol.

5) Summon angels, demons, souls of the deceased for aid, advice/wisdom, and protection. The capabilities of anything summoned are linked to Kylie’s energy, so the more the spirit does, the more she is drained. All spirits must be humanoid.

6) She can also summon fairies, sprites, or elves.

7) Separation of spirit from body. Kylie can basically project her conscious outside of herself at the expense of leaving her body limp, useless, and in a sort of coma (still breathing, living, etc.) She can instantly return to her body at will. If her body is disturbed she will return to her body. If she is killed, she is killed (her spirit is out of her body anyways!) As a spirit, Kylie has no influence on physical matter, but she will remember what she sees while in this state. She cannot possess anyone, read minds, inject/influence thinking. She may travel as far as she wishes, but the longer she stays out, the more energy she expends. Kylie may also temporarily separate body and spirit of organisms in her range, but only for a limited amount of time. This will never kill them, only incapacitate them.

8) The ability to "carry off mysteriously or secretly." (i.e. ability to slip away unnoticed)

Word Range (if applicable to character): 3 meters/10 feet.

Word Location: It is on the palm of her left hand. If she holds her palm facing outwards with her fingers facing up, the word will be right-side up and can be read by someone facing her.

Abilities (optional): I’d feel limited if I listed them. I’ll keep them reasonable, of course.

Other (optional): Uhhhhhh. Nothing I can think of!

This is a really nice application. I feel bad for saying that I have to reject this one just because of the word section (it's always that section that trips people up >.>). As with http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/spirit, other uses of 'spirit' would be to summon fairy, sprites, or elves; also manipulate moods to be negative (low spirits), tempers, dispositions, and attitudes; create and manipulate alcohol; and be able to "carry off mysteriously or secretly." If you makes those edits, then your application will be accepted. :) Word range limit will only apply if Kylie tries to rip out or destroy someone else's spirit. Again, great application with lots of detail, just needs the word section to include all the other usages.

I made the necessary edits, and I also fixed some silly typos D:

Thank you so much! I forgot to look at the dictionary.com page for other uses of the word. I'm sure the ability to create/manipulate alcohol and to sneak away unnoticed will go excellently with Kylie. LOL
