Power: 5 Palm Buddha Mountain Eruption, a martial arts passed down the Kagenuma clan, emphasizing power and technique, and above all, channeling fire through their inner ki. As a side effect of the harsh training, she gained prodigious strength and endurance, and particularly resistance towards heat. Training includes fighting with a myriad of weapons, but because of her own strength and the requisite fire the martial art produces, most weapon besides those made by her own clan usually break after a few swings, unable to withstand the effect of her power on it.
Bio:She was raised in a faraway village way up in the mountains, where her clan still owns a large amount of land and a few dojo teaching the basics of their martial arts to students. From time to time they would get the occasional challenger who journeyed there, whereupon she would sneak into the dojo to watch her father fight. Her father always looked resplendent as he fought, his techniques flawless, his strikes precise and powerful. That was not to say the challengers were mostly weak either. Many of them were strong in their own way, some were fleet and deceptive, some had this seemingly flawless ability to predict her father's moves, and some were straight up as powerful and durable like her father.
One day, during the customary dinner with a challenger after a fight, the challenger casually mentioned of a school where a lot of strong young people gathered. It was extremely obvious afterwards her father took an interest to that, for the very next day, she had a few new clothes and several bags, even though she couldn't go there yet for a few months. Her training grew steadily more intense during those last months, before finally being sent to school. As much as she disliked the rather intense training her father put her through, she understood his desire and enthusiasm.
To showcase the might of their martial arts to the world.
Her body type is lanky. She's not some sort of fitness junkie, however she's a bit muscular from hunting. When able to she wears her favorite Gamo hoodie that has camo running down one sleeve (encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tb..) (If you ask her, one of her 'weakling' relatives bought it thinking of the airgun company), with a grey shirt underneath, and either slightly baggy blue jeans or cargo pants. Wearing the respirator with goggles is more of a need for her. She absolutely refuses to go without it. Most people think it's because she's a prepper and waiting for chemical warfare. For whatever reason, Olle sees it as sort of an insult if you ask why she wears it.
Gender: Female Age: 17 Year Level: 2nd Year Faction/club: Imperial Regiment / Ballistics Club (Captain) Power: (I'm not going to make this OP at all.) The Power of 'Truth'. No, it isn't the one you've seen in books where the protagonist is able to make people speak the truth. Instead of that it's rather simple: The ability to sense ammo and catch it in midair. It doesn't work one hundred percent of the time, and the side effects aren't generous if performed regularly. Most of the time doing it requires her to go through both physical and mental pain. Knowing this she tries not to use it often. Bio:
Olle Mattis isn't some hero. She was born into a family that encouraged death, honor, and strength. Anyone weak was immediately picked on by the rest and wasn't expected to live too long; normally due to suicide or abuse. Kids were brought up to hunt and taught gun safety at just tender ages. Maybe that's why the academy wanted her. She could kill most game without even blinking. Was she a expert? No. Maybe it was because of pure sympathy for a 'tortured' soul.
Because that's exactly what the product was. A silent stalker that attacks viciously in a random manner. Unstable and fusing with pessimistic and realist thoughts; confusing love with death. But that was a secret Olle enjoyed keeping to herself. On the outside she could just be seen as a weirdo... But in the inside a hurricane raging against the barriers. Which is why she sometimes gets angry at small things and not analyze a situation properly.
Olle enjoys mostly neurohop, darkrap, alternative, rock, etc type of music. She does have a electric guitar with her.
Weapons: Olle carries a Becker bk7 with her normally, along with a small pocket sized Victorinox Swiss Army SD knife. For a handgun she conceals a Glock 34 Gen 3 9mm on her basically everywhere she goes, locked and loaded with ammo. Her last weapon is a Browning A-Bolt 3 Composite Stalker rifle plus a sling. She doesn't carry it often around campus due to it's size, however she can be seen around with it sometimes.

Gender: Male Age: 17 Year Level: 1st Year Faction/club: None, though he's still looking for a job
Power: Friction - Eddie can control the level of friction between objects and people, however this is limited to things that he's currently in contact with. He can channel the friction through object's he's in contact with (For example between him, his opponent, and the ground they're standing on) but they're not quite as powerful as him making contact himself. Commonly, he uses this power to root people on the spot so he could go in and grab then, then changing the friction between himself and his opponent so he can crush them to death. Alternatively however, he could also make it so that the friction between his opponent and whatever is almost nil, preventing them from being able to get a firm hold of things, such as the ground or himself.
Eddie's own fighting style is mostly grappling from various martial arts. A bit of judo, a bit of sambo, some mauy thai, generally things like throws or holds. He's pretty fast for a big guy but he lacks any professional striking style, with his most advanced being a quick jab he can throw without a stance. He calls it the "Flicker Jab" cause it'll knock your lights out. Everything else is just him throwing his weight around or things to help him weather the blows from his opponents, being a tanky defensive brawler. For the most part Eddie is what we call "Unskilled, but Strong". Sure he might not have any fancy techniques, but his jab is nothing to scoff at and unless you're as big and tough as he is, once he has you in his grasp there's no getting out alive.
Bio: Eddie was always a big boy even when he was born. By the time he was five years old he was already four feet tall and weighing about 140 pounds. He was a bit on the chunky side, but because he was a big kid his folks had him do some work to help him lose weight. And he worked hard. So hard in fact, he doesn't really know how to do the whole school things cause he tends to work instead. Despite labor laws normally preventing him otherwise, Eddie looked like a nearly full grown adult (Or a big teenager) at the age of 13, and got himself a job working construction sites. He worked cause his folks were fairly poor and he felt like he needed to support them however he could.
Eventually the jig was up however. As strange as it was for Eddie to be such a huge man-child, once it came to light that he was only 14 when the work inspector came around, Eddie was laid off. He needed to find new work... Which mostly came from fighting. Eddie was no stranger to people picking fights with him. Most of the time they try to punch him in the face, with no discernible effect, and then he hug them. And break their spines. But when he joined this fighting pit, their fighters were able to hurt Eddie. He had to learn how to hold his owns. Fortunately he made some friends who taught Eddie how to wrestle and grapple, seeing that his massive strength could break lesser opponents quiet easily.
Eddie fought in the fight pits for a while until his father managed to land a job as a foreman, and his mother running a restaurant of a sandwich franchise. This allowed Eddie to no longer need to go to the fight pits anymore, but he felt that this would be a good career opportunity for him. He just needed more... Formal education. That's when he heard of a highschool known for their fighting. At first he just thought it was a delinquent school, but hearing more about how formalized everything was he figured he might as well sign up. With the help of his folks, he enrolled in Kagetora High School.
Wards of the Emperor “Inside of him lies the incredible power of an emperor. Too bad he’s just some stupid little kid though” – Matsumoto Taiki, Souta’s Uncle
At any time, Souta is able to call upon two heavily armed samurai to either defend him or attack for him. These samurai can never die. They are not mortal men, but instead, are spirits sent from the heavens to serve under their master.
That doesn’t mean they can’t be defeated.
These samurais can be defeated in one way and one way only – in combat. If these samurais do find themselves defeated, they will kneel down and commit the art of seppuku before dissipating into the world of the spirits to rest and recover from their wounds.
This means that if these samurais are defeated, Souta is simply left undefended.
Be warned though, these samurais have served a long line of people before them, and thus have experience under their belt.
Once ago, the emperor of the Land of the Rising Sun had a need for a bodyguard. Someone who would stay by his side twenty-four/seven and watch over him, ensuring he would be always be safe as he slept soundly.
The emperor watched as his guards trained, watching carefully as they walked down the halls of his grand castle, watching for many nights until finally selecting one guard who he had determined to be the hardest working.
With this guard, the emperor granted part of his power to, giving some of the divine strength which the emperor had to this lowly guard so he could do his new job of protecting the emperor well.
And that he did.
Over the span of five years, this new bodyguard thwarted over ten foolish attempts to kill the emperor and had even saved the emperor’s son – a job that he was not required to do – from being held hostage by a clan who opposed the emperor and his ways.
The emperor, impressed by this, ensured that the guard’s family would stay by the emperor’s sons and his sons forever by proclaiming the guard’s family as nobles, having them stay close by the royal castle.
For the next seven hundred or so years, the Matsumoto family did a fine job as bodyguards for the emperor, each one of them inheriting a small portion of the power they were granted from the emperor before. It wasn’t until the founding of the Imperial Guard that they were dismissed, but by then, the Matsumoto family had found a secure place in the society as nobles who had managed to start a rather successful company that is still here to this day.
However, their beginnings as mere bodyguards to the emperor would stay with them until the end, for with every single member in the family having access to the same power their ancestors before them had once had – the power of an emperor.
It is here where Matsumoto Souta’s story begins.
Souta was born to two somewhat loving parents, being the youngest child out of his older three brothers and sister, his siblings had proclaimed him to be the “luckiest” simply because he had gotten the “youngest child” treatment, where the parents are often a bit too lenient on the boy.
Of course, this did not mean Souta was exempt from everything that his parents had forced his siblings to do at a young age. Souta’s parents had to more or less force the young boy to take a martial arts class throughout his childhood as a way to keep the boy entertained while his two parents went off on business trips, and when he had reached high school age, had even sent him off to a high school his siblings had once go to before. More of a private academy than a high school, Souta had no idea what he was in for – or the incredible power inside of him – until his sister had to pull him aside.
Souta’s sister took Souta to the academy herself, giving the boy a tour of the facilities while telling stories of the staff members, the teachers, and the students themselves as they walked around. At the end of the tour, she had finally told Souta of the incredible power that was inside of him, and began to teach the young boy about it – albeit brutally and harshly just like the martial arts training he had received years ago.
As the end of her school year approached, Souta’s sister, knowing that no one would be there for the boy when he would enter high school (since she had to go off to some dreadful new place known as college) made sure that her brother would be well off when he entered by ensuring a spot on the student council for him by giving him her own seat when she would leave.
Souta, still just a measly young boy who has yet to realize the true potential of his power, is now entering a high school full of people he doesn’t know all vying for power – and he’s just been given a seat on the student council.
Power: Magic. Meruis's power comes from a book, that he naturally carries with him at all times. The book technically has infinite pages, though many of them of currently locked. The way his book works is as he reads it and understands more of it, more of the book becomes available. The powers he gains from the book are as varied as the universe itself but the beginning of the book of course only contains beginning spells. Though the book contains not so much spells as concepts of spells. For example a page might be on using a fireball, of course he can use this fireball but he can also add his own twist. Such as making it delayed, condensing it, making it a beam rather than a ball that explodes on impact. If he strays too far from the spell's origin however he risks at worst removing that page from the book and causing permanent harm to himself. More often it would simply be a matter of the spell having unexpected effects. Obviously this power will develop throughout the roleplay but currently he knows these spells.
Fireball Earth wall Ice Spear Portal
Bio: Meruis's first memories began at the age of 10. He wake up in a cottage, in some sort of forest area. After examining his surroundings he found that the building was well stocked with food and other supplies, it even had electricity. Shortly after surveying the area a voice sounded in his head, "I have taken you here because you show potential. Here you will learn many things, from this book." At those words a surprisingly large, yet weightless book appeared in his hands. "Learn all you can from it, when it is necessary I will speak to you again" and just like that the voice vanished. Meruis did as he was told using the book with what little knowledge he had and figuring out how to use it. Several years later the voice returned, "Good, but I fear by yourself your learning may stagnate. There is a school to the north of here, go to it, learn more. Now go!" Naturally Meruis packed a small amount of food and made his way to this school, eager to interact with other people.
Appearance: A 5'8", scrawny dark skinned foreigner. Trinh, as he prefers to be referred as, has long, unkempt greasy hair to go with his pimpled, greasy face. His appearance is generally sloppy, though clean enough that he can be generally comfortable. He typically wears a white, long sleeved button-up with the sleeves rolled to his elbow; with a pair of blue slacks and running shoes. He is most notable for the single long eyebrow sticking out of the left side of his face. Trinh refuses to shave it off.
Gender: Male
Age: 14
Year Level: 1st
Faction/club: DJ Club
Power: Some could say Trinh's power is his super analytical nature which seems to pay a good deal of attention to detail. He has study habits which appear obsessive, which focus more on beating in and retaining information. In addition, Trinh is very good at recognizing patterns. These skills, however, were honed more by the draconian educational system of Vietnam more than a super power. To counter this, Trinh carries on his person; at all times; an AK103 with selective fire (three-round burst and safe), mounted with close combat optics, fixed bayonet, and five 30 round magazines worth of 7.62x39mm with 3 magazines of lead cased ammo and 2 magazines of brass cased ammo. He also has on him three CAT tourniquets, 2 packs of occlusive chest dressing, a bottle of Motrin, and a bottle of 91% isopropyl alcohol. His rifle is often slung on his back. Trinh carries a magazine of beass 7.62 in his left pocket at all times. The rest of his equipment along with his other school supplies goes inside a brown leather messenger bag that Trinh is usually not seen without on campus.
Bio: Trinh is a foreign student from Vietnam who moved countries when as his parents were fighting. Trinh moved soon into his aunt's house, his aunt paying for his plane ticket. When choosing schools, Trinh did not mind which one he went to. He was too unfamiliar with the new school system to really care. Eventually, he chose a school that provided housing so that he didn't have to live off of his aunt the entire time he stayed in the country. Unbeknownst to Trinh, it was a school for the super human.
A new student, he had little friends. He didn't particularly care. All Trinh really wanted to do was play video games on his laptop. He uses the DJ club as a nap room and a relatively quiet place to play video games in. Though he doesn't have any actual official affiliation with the DJ club proper, Trinh will protect his napping spot with life and limb.
Trinh typically does not make friends. With a language barrier barring him from interaction, his knowledge of the English language quite limited, Trinh only rarely raises his hand. His accent keeps him from speaking really to anyone unless he really needs to. However, long periods of using the Internet in English had given Trinh a grasp on written English and all the formalities of the language's syntax and grammar. If only he could solve his horrible accent.
Name: Kurosawa Misaki (Kurosawa Miki or just 'Mickey')
Gender: Female Age: 17 Year Level: 2 Faction/club: Captain of Boxing Club (Though really, Misaki would prefer to cheer on the accomplishments of her Club Peers)
Power: Malleability of the Body - Kurosawa Misaki has the ability to warp her body, being able of performing such feats such as being able to transform herself to look like others or creating additional limbs.
Bio: Kurosawa Misaki was born in Toyko. Growing up, Misaki learned that she had the gift of warping her own body. This did not provide incentive for her to go out and be social, as she was afraid of what she truly was and where she belonged. Although it did allow her to become one Hell of a Prankster. But back to the main point, this ability helped socially impair her, which worried her parents. Her mother and father talked, and decided to push her into an activity of her choice. Much to the surprise of her parents, she seemed interested in the idea of cheerleading. While hesitant, and feeling that she should instead just stick to playing card games and the like, her parents were enthusiastic in pushing her towards an activity where she'd have to be vibrant, whether she wanted to or not. She did enjoy the activity and made friends doing it, all the while doing it she became more social. However, her life would change when she was sent to Kagetora Academy. Now she hopes she can survive the turmoil within, and hopefully keep a relatively peaceful life as she goes through the school system...
Of course that is not be as easy as it seems. Especially since, as Mickey managed to become the Captain while all the other seniors were moving off to participate in real league circuits, while others were transferred to other schools. It just so happened that they managed to win the battle to claim the title of Captain of the Club. As such, to honor and preserve the honor of the club, relative peace may not be an option.

Similar to Greco-Roman wrestling, Lucha Libre focuses on grapples and throws, but Lucha Libre is significantly more flashy and dramatic. There is less emphasis on power compared to the American style and more on rapid holds and grapples, with particular focus on extreme high-flying moves that require amazing athletic and acrobatic ability. It is believed that El Ruidoso's FIERY PASSION allows him to fight harder, faster, and power through attacks no mortal man could withstand!

One of the staff members was an old luchador, who instructed El Ruidoso in the ways of lucha. When he was accepted to the school, his master gave him his old mask, to continue the name of El Ruidoso and bring pride to the Marad Orphanage and Mexico as a whole.

Name: Kyousuke Lawton Appearance: + a gas mask Gender: Male Age: 17 Year Level:1 Faction/club: None (yet), he is the loner type so he doesn't really show any initiative towards joining a faction Power: Kyosuke wields two guns: A standard revolver like you usually see in cowboy films, in his belt, and a sawn-off shotgun on his back. Kyosuke is able to reload either gun within a second due to experience with using them, and he also possesses a high accuracy with his guns. For close combat, Kyosuke uses a hybrid of Wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to force the opponent into submission. As for actual powers, Kyosuke has an interesting ability: He can turn into smog, allowing him to almost teleport small distances, and dodging attacks. This power however comes with huge drawbacks: Whenever he breaths, he has to do it through the gas mask, which makes some sound. Kyosuke rarely, if ever, gets hit, making his body really fragile, one uppercut for example could knock him out. Another thing is that this smog actually poisons him when used: If used a few times or for short durations, he will have to cough a bit. If he uses it for a longer time or more often, he will have trouble breathing. If he goes on using it, results are, but not limited to: headaches, vision becoming blurry, burning sensation in his entire body, gas leaking from his mask, lung damage, loss of consciousness, and even death if used too much. Bio: Kyosuke grew up in a rough town. People used to duel with guns on the streets all the time, and dying young was normal. This gave you two options: Don't get hit and be quick or get hit and die. Kyosuke managed to almost never get hit, but once he got assaulted by somebody who used a flamethrower: his whole body was burned, and the doctors could barely save him. When he woke up from the operation, he noticed that the gas mask he wore before was stuck to his head. The fire caused something weird in his body, making him breathe out smog through his mouth, and mask, which made really loud noises. Another thing he noticed, is that he could turn into smog. This really seemed strong, but he soon noticed that if he kept this form too long, he started to feel drawbacks. After the accident, he decided to pick up some fighting classes, ending up with a combination of wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Nobody liked Kyosuke though, he never obtained any friends. Its most likely due to the fact that he was different with his weird mask. This caused Kyosuke to hate most, if not all, other people.
Kyosuke woke up one day, receiving a mysterious letter: An invite to a high school which encouraged fighting. Kyosuke expected that maybe people would accept him there, and he started his school career there, never turning back.
Name: Gabriel Alloré Appearance: Gender: Male Age: 17 Year: 2nd Year Faction/Club: Going Home Club – Captain Power: Sanguine - Gabriel’s powers revolve around blood, more specifically, drinking it. Once he drinks someone’s blood, he is able to tell what blood type they are, their appearance and exactly what they felt at the moment the blood exited their body.
He is also able to detect blood or traces of blood, but he can’t detect any blood inside of a body, only external or drawn blood. Basically this means he can’t detect your blood while it’s in your body but if you happen to bite your tongue and it starts bleeding, he’ll know.
There is one exception to this, and that’s if he’s drunk enough of one specific person’s blood. He becomes able to detect them and the movement of their blood basically wherever they are, but this takes quite a bit so he hasn’t got anyone in his databanks so to speak.
Bio: Gabriel would mostly be described as serious. He always seems to be focused on something or other, and he goes about doing whatever he needs to do without saying anything unnecessary. But this has mostly come about due in part to his abnormal disease, Porphyria.
Porphyria is a strange disease in which the body ceases to produce Heme, an essential chemical in blood. Perhaps the most profound symptom of Porphyria is necrosis of the skin in response to sunlight, basically, Gabriel is a vampire. The symptoms emerged when he was 10 years old, and ever since he has become accustomed to a lifestyle of meticulous preparation.
He covers his body fully with long sleeves, gloves, and a scarf which he has to keep on even in summer. A black travel umbrella completes his daily attire, which he is forced to use when he has to travel from building to building. He can alleviate the symptoms temporarily by consuming something rich in heme, usually healthy blood, but it’s not like he can just bite into someone and drink theirs, he still has normal teeth.

Name: Alphonse Alloré Appearance: Alphonse has short black hair and always has a serious expression on his face. He is rather well built as well and sports a customized vest rather than the standard school blazer. He stands at a reasonable 5’ 10”. Gender: Male Age: 17 Year: 2nd Year Faction: Student Council – Public Relations Officer Power: Demon Chains - Alphonse’s power allows him to create and control demonic chains which come out of the ground around him. The range that they can come out from is very limited, and so is his ability to make multiple chains at once. However, he can control as many as he wants freely without having to focus too much, and they are surprisingly strong, adding to their versatility. The points also end in pointed heads meaning they are capable of piercing.
But their real strength lies in their hidden properties, if a chain manages to catch a target and plant itself in the ground, the target and their power are weakened slightly. Multiple chains can stack the effects until the target finds it difficult to move, and enough chains can even make them lose consciousness. But the amount of chains it would take to do that would end up covering the target in a ball of chains.
Bio: Alphonse is in fact the brother of Gabriel Alloré but besides their seriousness and their father, they share little in common. Gabriel’s mother was Italian while Alphonse’s mother was Japanese, but one way or another both mothers left their child with their father and it was up to him to raise them.
This may have been a problem for a single father, had he not been the Don of a prominent Italian mafia family. As Gabriel wasn’t able to go out often, Alphonse had been the one to accompany their father on many of his ventures. As a result, he has enough knowledge to organize a mafia family, all of which is channelled into organizing the school events which in the end, are about the same in terms of difficulty.
Kagetora was recommended to their father by a friend of his after they started having more border skirmishes and he worried about the safety of his children. It would solve two birds with one stone, letting them train their unusual powers and also providing a large queue between them and anyone who would try to harm them. One of the graduated Student Council had ties to his family, so they let Alphonse take their place when the time came to step down.

Public Relations Officer
Name: Akiko Fujiwara Appearance: Gender: Female Age: 17 Year: 3rd Year Faction/Club: Occult Research Club – Captain, Coalition of Ichor – Leader Power: Contract from Below - Akiko has what could potentially be one of the most powerful abilities in the world. Simply put, Contract from Below is an equivalent exchange, you will gain something if you lose something of equal value. The sacrifice can anything, from money to your own life, but it should be noted that all things have different values to different people.
Just as $100 would be a fortune to a homeless man and $1,000,000 is nothing to a billionaire, the exchange is based entirely on personal value. To that end, it is possible to sacrifice Rank or Points, but the cost of power is high and sometimes Rank just won’t be enough.
Bio: The previous captain of the Occult Research club, there is very little known about her. Like some other students, she came here on her own and has stayed in Kagetora ever since. She doesn’t go home during the holidays and instead opts to stay behind which has led to many speculations about her history.
If that didn’t get her enough attention, she also has the highest amount of Rank in the entire school’s history, almost conceivably impossible as she never enters fights although her grades are some of the best in the school. A rumour once said that her Score suddenly spiked when the last great faction conflict occurred and that she may have been pulling strings behind the scenes.
Perhaps it is due to all of the negative attention she receives that her attitude is rather cold and professional towards anyone she meets. There are however, only two exceptions to this rule. The other captains of the Coalition, and one other specific student.
Name: Richelle, but prefers Rachel Appearance: Gender: Female Age: 15 Year: 1st year Faction: Occult Research Club – Member, Botany Club - Member Power: Druid Magic - Richelle was found as a baby, abandoned in a great forest. She was found by a clan of wandering druids who took her in. They taught her their ways, and they taught her their magic.
Her standard druid magic mainly consists of growing plants from seemingly anywhere at any time. It’s not overly powerful but she has a remarkable degree of control over it, she is able to bend anything she grows entirely to her whims. She has powers beyond that, but that is the only extent that is actually known.
Bio: As stated above, Rachel was found and raised by a clan of wandering druids somewhere in the forests of Great Britain. These druids kept their existence a secret to the world at large for unknown reasons, but Rachel didn’t really care all too much. They taught her their druid magic and she found she had a gift for it.
However, one day, she was suddenly told by them that she had to go to a school, specifically Kagetora, and to seek someone named Akiko who would see to her needs. She obliged and she found herself in many unfamiliar situations with very little idea of what to do. One year in Kagetora however, has helped her to adjust somewhat.
Other than that, Rachel is actually a very calm and reserved individual. She also seems to fall asleep often, and sometimes at strange times such as during club meetings and on the way back to the dorms. Her grades are still average, although she does a little worse whenever maths is involved.
Akiko actually gave her enough rank to move into A-tier dorms with her, which has led to her gaining some unwanted attention.
Name: Alto Ganze Appearance: Gender: Male Year: 3rd year Faction/Club: Science Club – Captain, Coalition of Ichor – Creator, Student Council – President(away) Power: Dark Matter - His power has only ever been shown publicly once, when he forcefully took over the science club in his very first week of school and created the Coalition of Ichor not long afterwards.
His power creates five small, floating, pitch-black orbs which hover around him. These orbs are incredibly dense and strong, and can fly around at great speeds. Each can move independently from the others and during his battle, he demonstrated this by barely giving the previous Science Club Captain time to breathe.
It was reported that after the fight he said to the previous captain: “Only this much? This is the least I am capable of.”
Bio: If it was at all possible, the Science Club Captain is even more mysterious than the Occult Research Club captain is. He had never once been seen outside of the science labs in his spare time and it was rumoured that he might have even slept there sometimes. Those who were around him found him to be disconcerting because he always seemed to be leering over the test-tube, as if in eager anticipation of what would come out next.
It is unknown exactly why he was chosen to be the next Student Council President, but with him taking the top seat it was expected that the Coalition of Ichor would attempt a takeover. That didn’t happen, instead he disappeared leaving a note behind for the vice principal that said to take over his duties for the foreseeable future and that he would be back eventually.

After three years at the academy, Akira's body and clothing are infested with parasitic organisms. While this drastically increases his food intake, it also grants him a wide range of benefits. Bees nest in his hair, giving it a lustrous sheen from the honey and meticulous care of a beehive. The worms in his stomach make the acid incredibly potent, allowing him to spray it from his mouth. The strange beetles living under his jacket make hitting him akin to punching a stone wall, though force still sends him reeling. "One With The Power of Nature." Rank: 90,000 Bio: Akira comes from a loving family... who ALSO happen to be infested by parasitic bugs. His mother's colony of ants works constantly to regenerate her body, and his father's beetle coating makes him nearly bulletproof. In fact, power over insects runs in the family on both sides. Although his last name refers to the position in the Japanese imperial guard his family once held, Akira just so happens to be a banchou, the leader of a school's delinquents. Mostly, this consists of fighting other delinquents in a show of physical dominance, then palling around with them later. The gang's secondary priorities include protecting the weak from bullies and helping old people. As soon as he heard of a school for those with powers, however, he recognized his best chance of becoming King of the Bancho! All it would take is bringing the delinquents here down a peg.
Elize is a tall willowy girl, standing about five foot eight. She works out regularly and thus is cut like a professional athlete.
Elize Vanzant
Gender: Female Age: 17 Year Level: 3 Faction/club: Imperial Regiment/ Archery Club
Power: Elize's power consists of the ability to manipulate the air around her. If it rains she does not get rained on, if you make her mad expect to be punished severely for it. Elize can control any gaseous substance because of this she can literally rip the air out of your lungs or from anywhere else she would like. She can also produce a sort of hyperbaric chamber and depending on what she puts in it it can either help or hurt, a lot. Her powers still have a lot of time to grow and she works on her endurance of using them daily. Moving a lot of air requires a lot of energy and concentration. The longer Elize is forced to hold air or continuously move it the harder it becomes to do so. Long stents of continuously moving air, which is required for stunts like keeping air away or pushing it towards something because of the nature of gases which everyone should know from science class, can result in serious consequences. These consequences can be anything from a serious nose bleed to unconsciousness. Any amount of work with the powers over about 20 to 30 minutes will without a doubt result in a serious nose bleed and have drained quite a bit of energy. Once Elize reaches about the 45 minute mark she generally has a headache and the longer she pushes past that mark the worse it and her nose bleed will get. This is one of the reasons she works hard to increase her endurance.
Bio: Born to Iris and Slade Vanzant, Elize grew up with parents who had powers. Iris and Slade met at the academy and married shortly after graduating, Elize was born just two years later. Elize's father is an illusionist and her mother is a water manipulator. Elize's family is very well off, and she was sent to a private school for regular children before she moved to this academy when she was old enough. When she was younger her parents hired private tutors to help her in school and to learn to control her powers. Even as a young girl Elize showed a tremendous penchant for working hard to earn what she got. When she was around 6 her parents bought her her very first bow, a small 15 pound recurve that she still owns. It was from that day on that she practiced with her bow alongside practicing with her powers. When she was 10 Elize acquired her first horse, a Sugarbush Draft named Hexa's Sugarbush Princess or Princess for short. This quickly became Elize's third and favorite hobby. She quickly got the mare to accept Elize shooting her bow from her back and by 12 she was competing in competitions regularly for mounted archery. Horseback riding and archer are Elize's true loves. Elize has developed a rather fierce reputation because her powers allow direct damage without physically touching anyone.
Appearance: Al's a bit taller than average, with decent muscle tone, but his long limbs make him look leaner. His hair is a ragged, unkempt mop of muddy brown, and his facial features are surprisingly soft. Albeit, he's usually got a bruise or bandage marring them. His dress style is pretty casual; he mostly wears loose fitting denim pants and untied boots, with a tee shirt and dingy leather coat up top. On his back he typically keeps three or four large greatswords, of ordinary make, kept in a sling. Gender: Male Age: 18 Year Level: 1st (he was held back two years)
Faction/club: Boxing Club Neophyte
Power:Superman- Al is strong - much stronger than his frame would even suggest; he can crumple metal with his fists, throw heavy objects, and lift big things, like a small car or chunks of the classroom's floor. He's durable to boot- It's pretty common for other students to take a sledgehammer to his face, because anything less probably won't phase him. Naturally, his self-taught fighting style takes advantage of this, and focuses on Al throwing his momentum around to deliver maximum impact haymakers. Drop kicks are common, as are wild punches, suplexes, and throwing whatever's handy, up to and including the enemy. Additionally, Al carries around several greatswords, since he finds their length and mass are good for slinging around. Also he thinks they're cool.
Perhaps the biggest downside is that his muscle mass isn't proportional to his strength. A fighter with the same strength levels but more muscle mass, for example, has an easier time throwing Al than the other way around, and naturally has an easier time putting more force behind blows.
Bio: Al is by all means a kind, well-meaning person, with an understanding of the importance of friendship. He just happens to have a wild streak, and that streak just happens to be rather good at hitting stuff really hard. Upon entering the school, his physical abilities had administrators expecting him to be a B or even A ranked student. They quickly discovered, however, how terrible Al was for the school. Almost every time he agreed to fight, Al promptly forgot about the match or was distracted by something else, and upon not showing at the battle arena, lost by forfeiture, damaging his score. His poor grades did not help the matter.
Recently, Al's found refuge in the boxing club, hoping they can help him get to and win matches so he can actually graduate from the school eventually. His usage of swords is still the topic of hot debate, mainly between him and literally every other club member. Score: 763
Faction/club: Student Council - Student Relations Officer
Power:
Trickster
An animated magical power which belies the laziness of Augur, while also supplementing that inherent attribute. Trickster is a power which manifests itself in two ways.
Portal Creation As the name suggests, Augur has the ability to create portals, allowing the connection of two locations. Augur can have up to two portals existing at a time. For the most part, Augur can manipulate the size of the portal, anywhere from the size of a tennis ball to the size of an average door. People and items who enter one of the portals briefly travel through a zone which can only be described as "obnoxiously purple" before reaching their destination. However, sentient beings in particular are quite slow when exiting a portal, meaning one could take advantage of this in combat if they are fast enough.
In addition, Augur must have been to an area in person before he can create portals there.
Naturally, Augur uses this ability to quickly navigate around school grounds. Allowing him to do his job as the Student Relations Officer, despite his languid nature.
Trickster's Space The second, more offensive aspect of Augur's Trickster ability, and is seen as the obnoxiously purple space between Augur's portals. Trickster's Space allows the creation of items, which can be conjured and subsequently be released from a portal. The items that Trickster's Space contains is limited in a sense. Not only are they limited in size (no bigger than your average door), but they also seem to follow a circus/prankster motif, with some emphasis on offense. Bouncy balls, bombs which look like bouncy balls, spiked bouncy balls, and various circus-related items. Common procedure calls for Augur to simply create items from a portal to pelt an opponent, but Augur may also release an avalanche of rubber balls to strike an opponent, redirect already thrown items via the use of his portals, and subsequently retrieve them to throw again.
While Trickster has high offensive potential in some cases, it lacks defensive capabilities outside of a few specific scenarios. Because of this, Augur is often vulnerable to being attacked, should his onslaught miss or be resisted.
Bio: Augur was born into an average family. His parents had dreams of a having an intelligent child, and wanted to push Augur to be exceptional in school. At the same time, they were worried of the adverse effects of putting pressure on their child. They decided they would wait to give Augur this push. This turned out to be a mistake. Perhaps the parents should have made the attempt at edging Augur towards greatness sooner, or maybe it was just ingrained into Augur's personality extremely early, but the boy was possibly the single most lazy child to ever exist. In spite of this, he managed to do surprisingly well in school, but that only served to reinforce the idea that he didn't have to put much effort into anything. It was around this time that he discovered his power. Whether it came about through family bloodlines, an experience, or sheer purity of will from laziness, Augur did not know, but it solved many of the issues that came with his personality. Allowing him to travel to nearby locations with ease.
The uniqueness of his power allowed him to join Kagetora, and within a year Augur was able to ascend to the rank of Student Relations Officer. The intricacies of his ascent are somewhat obscure, most assume that it stemmed from his ability to warp and subsequently gather information regarding who is fighting and why. Some claim that he had achieved his title through combat, although hardly anyone has witnessed him fight before. His extreme laziness has already been established in his reputation among students, but so has his above average intellect, leading some to believe that he has a sort of hidden potential which serves to deter some students from challenging him.
Augur appears to have no goals at the moment, aside from his desire to keep solidarity within Student Council, and also graduate by putting in as little work as the rest of the Student Council allow him.
Power: Roy is capable of emitting blinding flashes of light from his fingertips. Though they possess no heat or force behind them, each bolt of light is easily capable of dazzling and confusing its target. This attack is capable of inflicting permanent damage to the cornea, though it would take several minutes of prolonged exposure to make a noticeable effect on someone's sight. This attack is capable of penetrating eyelids, hands, cloth, plastic, and almost all forms of glass. Powers that manipulate light can somewhat reduce the intensity of Roy's beams, though it cannot redirect them. If Roy so chooses, he can emit light of a significantly lower intensity, of any frequency and color.
Roy Bivvens' school career was largely uneventful, prior to his admittance to Kagetora High School. As Kagetora High School was the closest institution to Roy Bivvens' family, it was chosen as the best option.
Roy's first year at Kagetora High School was a wretched quagmire of ill-advised mistakes, very narrowly ending with Roy hospitalized at several points. In his sophomore year, Roy opted to join the school's marching band, more specifically the color guard. Under the guidance of the color guards' director, a wispy-haired art teacher by the name of Nobuyuki Johnson, Roy learned to assert himself and move with confidence. Through applying Nobuyuki's teachings to his daily life, Roy managed to not only increase his social standing, but boost his grades. As a matter of fact, the increase in Points was sufficient to grant Roy a breadth of goods and services, that he liberally helped himself to. The single most useful service Roy used was the school's "Unlimited Printing" principle-- for a nominal fee, Roy could print whatever he wanted for no price whatsoever. Indeed, Roy Gerald Bivvens was one of the few students to have built up a respectable stable of points exclusively from schoolwork and extracurricular activities.
As a matter of fact, Roy Gerald Bivvens' grade record has improved massively after Freshman year. Where, in his very first year, Roy would only score an average 70% on assignments and 75% on exams, those numbers have skyrocketed to an easy 100% and 92%, respectively. Coupled with a rather spartan lifestyle and an adamant refusal to spend any money on fights and showing off, Roy had earned a truly legendary amount of points.
However much he wanted to rise to a prestigious position in the school, Roy was unfortunately beaten out by another candidate. However unusual it seemed, the antisocial loner in front of him was granted a seat on the student without an election or an interview. As more intellectual students either graduated or transferred out, no new ones replaced them. Instead, the school was rapidly turned over to a majority of students who gained their points and ranking almost exclusively from combat, with few people developing themselves through studying and homework. Embittered and confused, Roy opted to find satisfaction elsewhere. It was here that he found the Boxing Club.
With his little-known reputation, habit for theatrics, and color-based powers, Roy found a job as a showman for the Boxing Club's promotional events. For an amount of Points paid by the audience and determined by how well the fight was, Roy was paid to give colorful commentary on fights, spotlight spectacular moments, and advertise future shows. As the announcer for each show, Roy was vital for the operation of the Boxing Club, but found himself constantly worrying about his expendability. Terrified of being replaced with a better announcer, Roy feverishly attempted to make friends with the star players in the Boxing Club, with mixed success. Though his voice is well-recognized, and he is paid very well for his showings, Roy is wracked with delusions of worthlessness.
Power:Cloning- Maxwell can create up to 2 clones of himself at any time, and is able to see and feel through these clones, as if they were simply extensions of himself. These clones are exact copies of himself on every level, created from just air, and can be destroyed at a moment's notice if he feels like the clone is no longer necessary. He is also able to switch his consciousness between these clones, making whatever body he currently resides in his real body, and any other one a clone. Basically, he can create a clone, switch to that body, and delete the body he was just in. Clones take about 1 second to appear, and half a second to disappear. Maxwell generally uses this ability to avoid direct physical combat, using the clones to trick his opponent, and protect his "real" body from actual harm. These clones cannot be created very distant from himself, at most 5 feet away, but can be deleted from any distance. Most things on his person are usually cloned along with his organic matter, though, complex machinery doesn't copy well, such as a phone, which would be copied as a useless brick of stuff. Larger objects, which would include most stuff unable to be easily held in one hand, cannot be cloned.
Bio:
Maxwell has always hated his parents. They had both been in the military, and both had a love for combat sports. While they loved combat, Maxwell hated it. He found fighting to be a worthless endeavor that never solved anything. When his parents found out that he could clone himself, effectively keeping a fresh body for every fight, they shoved him off to Kagetora Highschool almost immediately.
During his first year in his own personal hell, he found that fighting here was worth something, and would be really good for him, in the end. Though, he found fighting to be a hassle, since he was not the strongest, even though his parents had trained him for a good 6 months before hand. After about 3 awful fights in which he lost very fast, he developed his strategy. He would run around, confuse and tire out his opponent, and then have them forfeit. He would keep switching bodies, keeping his stamina rather high, as any new clones he would create mid-combat wouldn't be tired at all. Unless all 3 bodies were damaged at the same time, he would be able to fully recover from the damage. He never challenged anybody, and only accepted challenges he knew he could win, and he got a good number of challenges about halfway through his first year. His longest match to date lasted 5 hours. He only has 3 losses to his name, which were his first 3 matches.
The story of how he became the Vice President of the Student Council is rather funny. It was the last day of his first year, and the previous Vice President wanted to put Maxwell in his place. You see, people tended to dislike the guy who won fights by running away and waiting for people to concede. Maxwell accepted the challenge almost immediately, since the previous Vice President's power was to turn his body into different metals, mostly for the purpose of punching with an iron fist. The Vice President was so confident, that he put his spot on the Student Council on the line. Of course, the Vice President never even got a hit on Max, and gave up within 1 hour.
Maxwell is a rather smart guy, though a lot of people see him as a smartass and an asshole, even though he tends to be rather considerate. Maxwell isn't cocky, he isn't hot headed, and he doesn't really like fighting. He only fights for points/ranks, and those don't even mean that much to him. He can be snarky, and a smartass to an extent, but an asshole he is not.
Maxwell doesn't really know what to do with his rather new position, as this will be his first year of being the Vice President of the Student Council, but with the President being away, things don't seem to be in Maxwell's favor.

@RoflsMazoy didn't read you said to consider myself accepted until a few seconds ago. I will get a post up in a little bit.
Appearance: Kingsley is a massive giant of a man with heavily tanned skin and scars all over his body. He almost never wears a shirt, but a sarashi covers his stomach and there are wraps around his hands. He wears a pair of white pants that have become frayed at the bottom and black shoes and socks. His head is bald, but he always seems to have 5-o-clock shadow and a scowl on his face. He is incredibly muscular, and stands at almost seven feet tall. His eyebrows are gigantic and awe-inspiring.
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Year Level: 2nd year
Faction/club: Cooking Club
Power: Kingsley’s delicious homemade dishes are not only tasty, but they also bequeath to the eater some qualities of the creatures used in the ingredients for a full day. For example, if someone ate his turtle soup, their body would become resilient like a turtle’s shell. If they ate his bear stew, they would become much stronger and their sense of smell would greatly increase. One can have the qualities of up to three creatures at a time in this way. If one already has an ability that increases one of these parameters, then the dish adds to it. Thus, a weak man will become a strong man and a strong man will become a stronger man.
After years of intense training and eating his own food, Kingsley’s body has permanently taken on a fraction of the power his dishes bequeath. Thus, he is always stronger, faster, and more resilient than a normal man of his size and strength would be. Which is already a lot.
Bio: Kingsley grew up in the wilderness, where it was always unbearably hot or cold and hostile. Without parents, he was taken in by crocodiles and raised alongside them. He grew up wrestling with his heavy crocodile brothers, and became incredibly strong quickly. One day, a traveling chef found him eating raw wildebeest with a bunch of crocodiles. The chef, who was also a burly giant, immediately began wrestling each and every crocodile in Kingsley’s family and defeated them all soundly. After he was done, the chef shook the father crocodile’s front foot and the two shared in a single moment of manly respect for a powerful opponent. The chef then somehow created fire using wood and began roasting the raw meat.
As they all partook in the feast, tears began running down Kingsley’s cheeks. He had never tasted anything as incredible as cooked wildebeest before, and this became an epiphany for him. He knew that he would follow this man to the ends of the earth, and learn more about this strange technique. The chef looked at the crying boy, and said “Cooking is love.”
Kingsley couldn’t understand the language, but somehow eating that food allowed him to understand the feelings behind the words. Without saying anything, Kingsley’s crocodile parents nodded at him. They had known from the moment that they had taken him in that he was different. He was meant to do something great, and for that he had to go with this man. This much they understood. The chef nodded back at the crocodiles, and stood up. Thus, he and Kingsley walked off into the sunset to begin a new chapter in his life.
Years later, Kingsley had learned not only language, but many incredible cooking techniques from the chef. His name was Richard Sovereign, and apart from Kingsley, he had one other apprentice named Drake Lancer. Drake was ambitious and had potential the likes of which Richard had never seen. However, the boy was impatient. He wanted to learn more and more recipes, even though he hadn’t mastered the ones before. When the time came to choose a student to bequeath the secret Sovereign family recipes to, Kingsley and Drake finally clashed in a cooking competition. Drake quickly made many excellent dishes, which were all great by a technical standard and looked fantastic. Kingsley made roasted wildebeest, much like his first meal with Richard. When the tasting was done, Richard declared Kingsley the winner. Drake was enraged that his dishes were beaten by something as disgusting and trivial as roasted wildebeest, but Richard explained.
“I gave you every chance to win. Time and time again, I’ve explained that ‘cooking is love’. Your dishes are good from a technical standpoint, and are presented better than even I could manage, but there is no love in them. Only tasteless ambition. That is why you lost.”
The next day, the Sovereign family recipes were to be presented to Kingsley, but that time never came. When Kingsley went to check on his mentor, he found Richard dead and the recipes stolen. There was a strange smile on Richard’s face, however. The same smile he’d always had when he said “cooking is love”.
Afterwards, no matter what Kingsley cooked, it felt like there was an ingredient missing. The recipe was always slightly off. Kingsley had decided, then, to attend Kagetora High School. It was the sort of place he could go not only to become stronger, but also to gather information. In a school of kids with weird powers, surely one had to have an ability that would help him find Drake and avenge his master’s death the only way he knew how; with his food.
And perhaps along the way, he might find that missing ingredient again somewhere.
School, however, did not go exactly as planned. Despite his skill at cooking, Kingsley was not very smart and incredibly ignorant of almost every subject except for parts of biology which he knew from cooking and living in the wild. In addition, he found out that he didn’t like fighting humans at all. They were complete strangers who were also inedible, and as such there was no joy in doing battle with them. Because he was huge and scary, however, some students would pick fights with him for cred. These battles Kingsley would fight, if for no other reason than to become stronger, and his legend quickly grew. Stronger and stronger people would pick fights with Kingsley, and Kingsley would win. As he had never lost a fight, he gained several titles and nicknames from the other students. There were rumors about him as well.
Titles (In order): -That Big Guy -The Unbeatable Kingsley -The Demon of Kagetora -The Invincible King -The Dark Lord of Kagetora -The Shadow King of Kagetora
Rumors: -He is invincible -He’s the one who really runs the school and the student council president is a figurehead -He’s really a god of battle in human form looking for a worthy opponent -When he kills a student, they don’t come back -He’s not actually real, but a group delusion brought on by unreasonable rumors that everyone believes
Recently, because of the titles and rumors, no one has wanted to fight him. Because he’s not very smart and there are no fights to improve his rank, he’s been stuck in grade 2 for two years.
Power: - Inhuman agility and dexterity - while it's still unknown if there is a hereditary factor involved in his powers, what truly makes Ray unique from the rest of the fighters is that he has no real, distinct powers. If observed closely however, his fighting skills do have traits that don't show in your average joe, such as his ability to change positions and move freely while mid-air, allowing him to dodge projectiles and so forth. His erratic movements also allow him to be extremely unpredictable and, coupled with his unmatched speed, grant the young Sakamura the ability to deliver fatal blows and finish the battle in record time.
That being said, with powers come weaknesses. While he is very good at pinning down an opponent in a fair fight, he has trouble keeping up with those who employ long range attacks. He is also rather fragile. If you're skilled enough to pin him down, you might knock him out with a few nicely timed hits. Good luck with that, tho'.
As for his fighting style, Sakamura is self-taught and as such uses no single type of martial art. Rather, his style is comprised of several different arts such as Krav Maga, Jiu Jitsu and Pencak Silat, all moves he has learned by watching different action films. His execution is flawed, but the blows he delivers are lethal nonetheless, courtesy of his physical blessing. In most battles, he goes with a hit-and-dodge tactic, unwilling to let himself be cornered by his adversary.
Biography: Born to Yosuke Sakamura and Elisabeth Payne - Sakamura.
Raymond's father, Yosuke, was a world renowned Japanese athlete who was the main representative of his country during the World Olympics. As such, Ray grew into a fairly rich family. Following his son's birth, Yosuke decided to move into his wife's hometown, England, specifically London, and planned to stay there permanently, considering England to be a better place to raise a child than Japan. He was quite wrong.
It was at the age of eight that young Sakamura began to exhibit behaviors unusual for a kid. He wasn't bringing any friends from school, he was eerily quiet everytime he was around the house, and he spent most of his spare time locked up in his room. Suspicious, Yosuke decided to go out one day and visit his son at the local playground, after his wife told him that that's where he could be. What he saw that day completely changed how he viewed his son.
There was sweet, young Raymond, dragging a screaming boy by his wrists, as a little raven haired girl lied down in the ground, sobbing and bleeding a few feet away from him. He then proceeded to stomp the little boy to smithereens as his cries for help became muffled following each stomp. Sure, there was a desperate offensive launched by the other boys who were his age, but he just shook them off like they were a minor nuisance. Appalled by his son's display of brute strength, Yosuke barged in and managed to calm the beast down before his beatdown turned into murder. Turned out that wasn't Ray's first temper tantrum. There was a couple more of them which ended terribly, with both the other students and the school's staff receiving gut wrenching injuries. Upon being briefed of his son's shenanigans, the former athlete took measures almost immediately, but his measures proved to be fairly ineffective. His appointment with a famous therapist ended with said therapist having his ear bitten off. They also tried to hire a witch doctor, believing his bursts of anger to be related to witchcraft, but the entire practice was interrupted after the shack inexplicably was caught on fire. And let's not even talk about that time he killed the neighbor's dog after he caught him take a leak on his yard. Long story short, the kid was pure evil and after a while, even Yosuke threw his hands in the air and gave up. His last resort was to take him back to Japan, believing that their strict practices would somehow heal him.
During his time in Japan, Raymond's outbursts didn't get any better. They had to move different cities, regions and thus change schools on several occasions. He never got the chance to make any friends. However, one day, as Yosuke was driving to get him to his school, he observed as he dismantled six attackers, possibly people he's pissed off, with relative ease. That is when he realized that not only was he an abusive jerk, he was extremely good at delivering said abuse. So, seeing as his thirst for violence couldn't be quenched, he decided to enroll him in an ever growing high school that promoted violence, holding onto the hope that if he meets a fighter more formidable than him, then he'll learn to bow his head down.
