Name: Alexander Grossem
Nicknames/Alias: Alex
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Nationality:British
Hometown:Kendal
Date of Birth: 12th of January 2003
Appearance:
Height: 5'8
Weight: 9 stone 4 pounds
Status:Green horn
Weapon of Choice: Hunting Rifle

Magic: Whilst he's completely unaware of what magic is truly capable of or how it takes hold in people - the day will eventually come where his own magical capabilities manifest to make him a daunting stalker of his prey - his footsteps and breathing, indeed all audible sounds that usually emanate from a living being seem to cease - even his hearth beat and pulse, his very presence seems to dissolve from reality, unless he made a sudden move or action you'd never think he was there - perfect for a hunter.

Strengths:

• Peerless Tracker: Years of experience hunting the local wildlife and the teachings from his father has granted Alex the capability to track both person and animal alike, it won't take much to translate this skill into the tracking of demons however.
• Artisan: Has a wide array of crafting skills in regards to wood work and is quite capable to jury-rig some sort of useful tool out of whatever materials are on hand.
• Relentless Hunter: Long nights of tracking and hunting that have spanned over years with his father has allowed Alex to go that bit further when supplies run out - he can keep a steady pace over excessively long distances with little need to rest.

Weaknesses:

• Shattered World View: Magic and demons were things of fantasy to Alex, anyone who actually believed in that nonsense was a lunatic in his mind, regardless of whatever strange or fantastical event happened in the world there was always a rational explanation for it.
  The impact of how wrong he was when the time came was stark- he's not entirely sure what's real anymore and has become increasingly cynical because of it.
• Solitary: Alex has never been one for socialising or making friends, he's comfortable with silence and enjoys being alone with his thoughts - of course he won't be rude, if someone starts talking to him then he will make friendly conversation, but in the end it's his alone time that he seeks.
  Needless to say, this can make him difficult in situations that require team work, especially if he's the one who has to lead, he was designed to follow orders or his own path - not lead it for others.
• Budding Sadist: Alex is fighting a losing fight within his own mind - he hunts because he has to, the meat and pelts provide for the family in terms of food and money, but he enjoys it - of course that could be said that there's nothing innately wrong with that, hunting after all is regarded as a sport for some people.
  Unfortunately, Alex doesn't relish the kill rather he's beginning to find that he enjoys spectating the beasts final moments in this world before he ends their suffering.
  He knows this is not right, he knows that this is not something he should enjoy - but there's something intoxicating about that feeling, Alex hopes that this new life he's about to lead won't lead to this feeling he gets to develop.

Fears:

• Enclosed spaces
• When the hunter becomes the hunted - ironically he can't stand being subject to another being stalking him for once, typically that means he's failed as a tracker and hunter.
• Land Locked - He likes his feet placed firmly on solid ground preferably at all times - tall buildings, bridges, flying, swimming, sailing etc.
• Failure - When he was growing up, failure carried a hefty price, especially when he was on the hunt - the fear of failing an incurring the wrath of a person that is no longer there to inflict still haunts him.
• Himself - Alex is afraid of what he may become.

Personality: Alex is quite reclusive, he enjoys his own personal space and time and spends far too much of that time lost in his own thoughts, by nature he is inquisitive but rarely actual asks out-loud about the thought going on in his head.
That being said it's not impossible, or indeed difficult for him to form a connection with someone, but it's frail and requires a lot of work from the both parties for it to stay strong - it would not mean a lot if he started making friends with someone and then just stopped talking to them, and vice versa - if it breaks down on the other side, then chances are Alex will not make the attempt to try and fix it on his side.
He's quiet, Alex always speaks softly and only in extreme circumstances would he raise his voice, it's reasonable to assume that Alex is unable to be angry or loud after getting to know him, it simply doesn't seem to fit with his nature or his way of talking.
On rare occasions however, there are people who catch Alex's interest, and these standards are subverted. Alex acts completely different to people he's personally taken a shine to - the difference is so stark that one would think that it's a completely different person, admittedly this happens rarely but of the few friends Alex has accumulated throughout his life they've all been people that Alex has been interested in, in a sense it's quite an honour to see this side of him, because you can guarantee one thing if you ever see that side of him; he will always be there for you.
Likes:

• Dogs
• Cooking
• Reading
• Relaxing Music
• Nature

Dislikes:

• Loud and obnoxious people
• Crowds
• Reckless or Aggressive people
• Humid environments
• Vegetables (especially sweetcorn - it physically makes him sick if he eats it)

Backstory: Alex has lived a difficult life so far, his home town is located within the Lake district of England a large expanse of hills, lakes, forests and farmland, it's a prime place to hunt wildlife and of course, to poach. And that is exactly what Alex's father did, whilst his mother was a GP at the local doctors.
Between the pair of them they made a enough money to live very comfortably in what was really a isolated town that took a few hours drive to the nearest city.
Alexander spent most of his youth traipsing around the countryside with his father, a task that was laborious at first but quickly grew on him, it wasn't long before he spent most of his time outdoors just exploring the local countryside and getting familiar with landmarks so he always knew where he was, and if needs be created his own markers to help guide himself.
Alex's father was a strong influence on him, but their relationship was more of an apprentice/master relationship than it was a father/son one, it was frosty at the best of times as well, Alex barely kept up with the expectations his father had of him, this relationship forged Alex into the person he is today.

Unfortunately Alex's mother was rarely around to break into the life that he was going through, she was engrossed in her work, and rarely had time for... trivial matters.
School had become a break for Alex, which was the opposite for everyone else - to him it was a break from what he went through every day, and as a result he excelled at practically every aspect of academia, which in turn resulted in his admission to the School of Death, his skills as a hunter on top of his academic achievements made him a prime candidate, but of course this came with it many problems on his home front.
As of now, Alex is disowned and in a way, this new school acted as a completely new life and a fresh start for him, despite being thrust into a mysterious and dangerous world he was eager to try and change some aspects of himself that he had grown to hate.
Hobbies/Interests:

• Woodwork - Whittling, making objects from wood like statues and the kind.
• Watching TV - Alex's life has been largely free of technology and is using this opportunity to explore it, he really like watching TV.
• Playing the Violin

Name: Mei Takahashi
Nicknames/Alias: N/A
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Nationality: Japanese-American
Hometown: San Francisco, California, U.S.
Date of Birth: June 4th, 2003
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 120 lbs.

Status: Legacy
Weapon of Choice: Bo staff
Magic: Nature Magic

Being a descendent of the House of Lepidos, Mei's magic manifests as control over the natural world. In essence, she can manipulate non-human biological life, specifically plants and animals. However, her control over each differs greatly; she can manipulate vegetation to a much greater extent than sentient life. For instance, she can force plants to grow or shrink at will and exaggerate their physical traits. Animals, however, can only have their consciousness manipulated, rather than their physical bodies. Mei could calm a rampaging bear, but she could not force it to grow bigger paws or fangs. She also cannot heal plants or animals under her control, or give them unnatural traits; Mei can only change what is already present. For example, she can change the size of a rose's thorns, but she cannot force a blade of grass to grow thorns. In addition, dead matter cannot be reanimated; she could not bring an animal back to life or revive a dead tree.

Strengths:

● Kind
● Fearless
● Loyal
● Compassionate
● Motivated

Weaknesses:

● Anxious
● Gullible
● Insecure
● Secretive
● Overly competitive

Fears:

● Betrayal
● Isolation
● Failure
● Emotional intimacy
● Rejection

Personality:

Mei Takahashi is a bright young woman who would do anything for the people she cares about. She tries not to take herself too seriously, and is always willing to lend a hand to people who need it. While she's proud of her Legacy status, she's the last person to hold it over someone else. Given her status as part of the House of Lepidos, she's an environmentalist at heart and cares deeply for the natural world. Mei is very fond of both plants and animals-especially given her brand of magic-and has some self-taught botanical and zoological knowledge. Despite the pride she takes in her family, she often feels a great deal of pressure to meet the expectations placed on her. She is hyper-aware of her own shortcomings, and while she does her best, she often pushes herself too far to perform. Mei isn't always aware of this, and can sometimes become self-destructive when she becomes overly stressed.

Mei is rather sensitive, though she rarely shows it. She prefers to handle problems-particularly of the emotional variety-on her own, and can occasionally seem a bit secretive. Despite this, she's always willing to listen to others, tending to become the "mom friend" of any given group. She has a difficult time receiving criticism from her peers, but she does respect the opinions of her superiors, and always seeks to improve. Mei is reluctant to ask for help, often feeling like a burden when she does so. Mei is very friendly and accepting of others, sometimes to a fault; she can be far too trusting of people who don't deserve it, and she is easily taken advantage of. On the other hand, however, she greatly enjoys competitions, which reveal a more merciless and self-centered side of herself that prioritizes victory above all else. She exhibits this competitiveness both in the classroom and in combat, with an intense drive and ambition that can be somewhat unexpected of her.

Likes:

● Learning
● Competitions
● Music
● Sparring
● Praise/approval

Dislikes:

● Extreme temperatures
● Littering
● Arrogance/selfishness
● Messiness
● Apathy

Backstory:

Mei Takahashi grew up in a luxury high-rise condo overlooking San Francisco. Her parents, both wealthy and renowned Reapers, had high expectations for her the moment she was born. From a young age, she was given every opportunity to succeed due to the wealth and power of her family. At the same time, however, a lot was taken away from her; while her parents loved her deeply, they steered her every move toward becoming a Reaper in their stead. As a result, much of Mei's free time was dedicated to training and preparation for her future occupation. Athleticism was greatly emphasized in her childhood; gymnastics and martial arts took up most of her life. Her more passive interests, such as piano and singing, were sidelined in favor of more "practical" activities.

Despite this, Mei understands the selflessness and importance of being a Reaper. She never had the naivety that most other children have of the world, as her parents educated her on the existence of Demons at a very young age. She knows all too well about the cruelty and inhumanity of their kind, as well as the significant role that Reapers play in keeping them at bay. As she matured, she stopped complaining about the brutal sparring sessions and academic pressure her parents put her through; by the age of 13, she almost began to enjoy it. At that point, she no longer needed prompting to study or exercise, instead taking it upon herself to improve. When this earned much approval from her parents, she intensified her training, as well as her proficiency with magic. She spent as much time hunched over a book or computer as she did on a sparring mat, studying botany and animal behaviors to enhance her control over both.

Despite being prepared, Mei still felt uneasy the day of her 16th birthday. Now that she was old enough to attend the School of Death, her parents were ready to ship her off to the academy to begin her "formal" training. The existence of other Legacy students-like herself-almost intimidated her. Whatever pressure was on her before was now even more extensive, given the rigor that the School of Death was known for. Still, her parents were confident in her ability, sending her across the ocean without a second thought. Mei could only swallow her fear and brace herself for whatever challenges awaited her.

Hobbies/Interests:

● Gardening
● Music
● Reading
● Jogging
● Zoology

Other: Mei's first language is Japanese, but she is fluent in English, having grown up speaking Japanese at home and English at school.

Name: Ryanne Thomas

Nicknames/Alias:Ry

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Nationality: American

Hometown: Midland-Odessa, Texas

Date of Birth: May 5

Appearance:


Weight: 120 lbs

Status: Greenhorn

Weapon of Choice: Unsure- So far only hand to hand combat is known.

Magic: Ryanne’s magic will manifest in clear or light yellow colors, and manipulates the vibrations of objects and at higher intervals people and animals, as well as lets her hear vibrations that occurred in the past. In essence, she can hear back in time via the memory the objects have of vibrations they picked up. This does not give her sight, and she can only go back up to fifteen minutes. During the time that she is doing this she needs complete silence in the present, as any vibrations from footsteps or voices will disturb what she is trying to hear from the past.

Strengths: Although Ryanne is mostly blind, she has incredible hearing, sense of smell, and touch. Her father taught her basic hand to hand combat and how to sense what direction an opponent may be coming from by listening to the air and objects around her.

Weaknesses: Ryanne is mostly blind, so without voice indicators she cannot typically sense how a person is feeling or what they are thinking, and is unable to describe people outside of their voice or how heavy they sounded.

Fears: Water, hearing loss, people thinking she is a pity case and not worthy of going to the school.

Personality: Ryanne is aloof at first, but once she becomes comfortable around others she opens up. She is a sweet and caring girl, but her lack of sight means she is sometimes awkward in social situations. She is quick witted, having grown up in a boring area she listened to a lot of comedy albums and learned how to be funny to ease tension in a room. She hates when people think she needs help or that she cannot do certain things because of her lack of eyesight.

Likes: Soft and fuzzy textures, low volume music, sitting in a garden or on a balcony in silence so she can listen to nature. Flowery smells and the smells of good food cooking. She LOVES candy.

Dislikes: Burnt or rotting food smell, as it clogs up her nose and makes it harder to smell for a while. Loud noises and crowds. Overly-solicitous people trying to ‘help’ her.

Backstory: Born in Midland-Odessa to a wealthy oil investor, Ryanne grew up in a well to-do family. She never really cared about this much, as her sight was gone by the time she was twelve so things that money can buy don’t interest her. Her father always told her that somewhere way way back in their family line there was a magic user, but until she received an invitation to attend the school she had always thought it was just a story. Knowing that she would be blind at an early age, her father invested early in teaching her self-defense. He never wanted her to be taken advantage of because of her lack of sight.

Hobbies/Interests: Though she cannot see, she can feel, and using this Ryanne paints. Using the textures of thick splotches of paint to create what she thinks things look like based on memory and feel. She also likes to write, and has a special laptop for typing in brail.

Other: She has a specially trained dog that helps her get acclimated to new places. He is a black lab named George and wears a special halter with a handle and a vest marking him as a service animal. He is not especially needed for her to get around, but he does make it so that she can relax slightly in new places.

Lucas Asger Svenson
Nicknames/Alias: Luke, The Thunderbird
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Nationality: Danish
Hometown: Copenhagen
Date of Birth: January 26th
Appearance: A toned young man, Luke considers himself an athlete, and his rugged build would confirm such a presumption. Luke is muscular and toned, with a robust, lean figure from years of athletic endeavors. With fair skin and golden-blonde hair that hangs at the nape of his neck, Luke has a certain look that identifies him to many as a Scandinavian person. He has piercing blue eyes and a dashing smile. His body has a few knicks and scars from minor injuries, but for the most part is skin is fairly untouched.

Height: 5’11” // 180 cm
Weight: 159 lbs // 72.12 kg
Status: Scion
Weapon of Choice: Twin daggers
Magic: Luke wields Lightning Magic, a magic that his father also wielded. Luke's typical usage of this magic is self-charging, where Luke channels the electricity through his body to increase his speed, strength, and transfer lightning through contact. Luke can also fire electric blasts, like miniature lightning bolts, but his control over that is limited and one he'd rather not pursue for the time being.

Strengths:

• Athletics/Athletic Endeavors
• Close combat
• Socially adept- loves a good talk
• Quick-thinking
• Fighting multiple opponents at once
• Dauntlessness

Weaknesses:

• Planning ahead
• Memorization/School
• Overconfidence

Fears:

• Boredom
• the Behemoth
• Losing people

---

---

Personality:
Luke is a naturally eager, energetic, and peppy person. Luke is the type of person to always search for something to do, and hates sitting around in boredom- as such, Luke is naturally athletic and enjoys any type of activity that gets him moving and working; as he would say, his least favorite activity is sitting still.

Luke is incredibly happy-go-lucky, carefree, and nonchalant, and he seems to be in a perpetual state of bliss, an optimist before anything else that tackles any task with glee. He’s naturally courageous and dauntless, fiery as a lit match, and is almost always zestful and exuberant. Luke is an extroverted, social person, and he enjoys meeting new people and striking up conversation. Luke hates loneliness almost as much as he hates boredom, and most of the activities he enjoys involve other people- hence, he tries to spend as much time doing things with other people as he can. Luke is naturally inquisitive with other people, perhaps annoyingly so to some, but it’s normally with good intentions over anything else, and Luke enjoys trying new things and exploring new areas that he’s unfamiliar with.

Luke is certainly not a stupid person- he’s actually a very clever quick thinker- but he lacks in other academic pursuits, especially those that involve memorization and intense math, where Luke finds a great deal of struggling.

When in combat, Luke's personality seems to remain unchanged- he fights with a bounce in his toes and a smile on his face. Luke tends to throw battle strategy aside in favor of head-on charges, taking on any opponent the same way, oozing boldness and confidence in every punch. This confidence is a bit of a weak spot for him- while not necessarily arrogant, Luke tends to throw everything he has into every fight with the belief that he has enough talent to make every battle work. That being said, Luke is not a sore loser- while having a slight competitive edge, he appreciates a good match and respects the results.

Luke is a surprisingly innocent, almost naive person at heart, with a very black-and-white worldview. Demons bad, people good, et cetera, et cetera. He's also caring to a fault, a very sweet person that always seems to be on the lookout for people that need help, and he's always more than willing to give his friends aid. He's fiercely protective, to an almost aggressive extent, and will fight for his friends and family with great zeal.

Luke is a fun-loving person overall, a talkative, friendly, dynamic young man that can make a great friend.

Likes:

• Sports
• Fighting anything
• Hanging out
• Sugary drinks
• Video games
• Anything that involves moving
• Most of the people at the school, tbh

Dislikes:

• Demons
• Sitting still
• Movies (for the above-listed reason)
• Homework/academics
• Awkward silences

Backstory:
Luke was born the child of Asger Svenson and Anna Knudsen, both graduates of the School of Death and rather accomplished Reapers, though each with differing views on the School. Asger was an on-duty Reaper, working as part of a task force that hunted Behemoths that posed a threat to humans, and was passionately focused on hunting Demons. Anna, on the other hand, had retired from the line of fire and worked in a local clinic, believing that the Society was a danger to their family.

Anna was proven correct when an operation went sour and Asger, along with 12 other Reapers, were killed in a disastrous mission to slay a rampant Behemoth in Indochina. Her worst fears confirmed, Anna longed to shelter her remaining kin, her son Luke, from the dangers of the world.

This did not end up working out much for Anna. Luke took an immediate interest to sports, playing quite a few of them in his local leagues and such, but also took heed of his father’s life and career as a Demon hunter, and was quite interested in that as well. Training himself to throw punches and kicks, Luke became a talented, though unprofessional, fighter. He also took great steps to make sure he was in good physical shape. That being said, Luke did not devote all his time to training- he had a whole slew of friends and went to plenty of parties and engaged in plenty of social activities. Anna saw him enjoying his life, but feared his 16th birthday.

When that day came, and the letter did come in, Luke was a well-built, dedicated young man that desired to follow his father’s footsteps- and Anna saw she could not change that. So Luke packed his bags and left for the School of Death, ready to walk down the path to become a Reaper.

Other:

Name: Déborah Nibelung
Nicknames/Alias:
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Nationality: French
Hometown: Dijon
Date of Birth: 9/9
Appearance:

Height: 1.80cm
Weight: 70kg
Status: Scion

Weapon of Choice: Rapier and Pistol
Magic: Antikythera Data Magic
Clairvoyance and precognition based on information storage, crossing data, finding patterns.

Strengths:
She is always somewhat prepared no matter the situation. Even if the enemy she is facing is entirely new and has no recorded weak points, Antikythera still helps with acts such as aiming and dodging.
Deborah herself is a clever and willful girl, very outgoing and self-assured, she has a strong presence.

Weaknesses:
She needs proper back-up, Antikythera is a great source of information, but sometimes that information will come out as inevitable defeat if what she needs to do is beyond the limits of her body, which is not physically enhanced by magic.
Deborah comes out as aloof and hard to approach, she has a hard time chit-chatting about the more casual topics and she does not take well to people who act irrational, though her interpretation of what counts as that is quite wide.

Fears:
The biggest one is, of course, the 0% chances and dead ends she can detect with her magic, especially when she isn’t sure it's just an issue with the way she is using the magic.
She fears regret a whole lot, not making the right decision and suffering for that.
She also fears boredom, a dangerous reality when her magic takes away the joy of a lot of things.

Personality:
Deborah is a confident and elegant sort of woman, looking a few years above her age, she is the type of person who always seems to have a smile on her face yet rarely seems warm to anyone. She might seem like a no-nonsense type, which she is for important topics, but in truth, she is actually quite likely to get completely fascinated by the simplest of things, especially if it's something the Antikythera ‘s analysis can’t ruin for her. She doesn’t care about house prestige, only personal distinction, after all, being the ancestor of a great fisherman won’t put a single fish in your plate, as such she is quite friendly to greenhorns (in her own distanced way) despite having the looks of someone who would despise them, provided they, of course, accept she knows what is best, as she doesn’t take criticism very lightly.

Likes:
Ancient cultures
Sparring
Gardens
Fashion
Fleur and style
Good food
Chill and cute games

Dislikes:
Bring up family history
Disagreement without reason
Arrogance
Utilitarian thoughts
Brutishness
Movies, TV series, most games, TV sports, most books

Backstory:
Despite being a Scion family, Deborah’s house is an ancient one, with ties all the way down to ancient Greece as a cadet branch of Strigiform. The branching happened over a desire to simplify and standardize the clairvoyance and precognition magic traditional to the house, culminating in the Antikythera machine. Her family has been historically very reserved, yet somewhat infamous, as in the past they were very keen on stopping magic from being used for political reasons, which mostly dealt with corrupted nobles, though could also include, say, a certain French national heroine and saint, as the perceived crime was not siding with demons, but using any sort of magic against normal humans.

All this was long past by the time Deborah was born, however, and she grew in a house of great wealth and isolation, her family was lenient towards behavior, always a bit indulgent, but very strict in their lessons and demands, nothing below exceptional was acceptable. Deborah didn’t mind that, from a young age she found joy in success and the act of exploring her magical powers to be quite interesting.

Internal tournaments between members of the house were common, and Deborah quickly rose among the ranks with the clever use of the Antikythera magic, establishing herself quickly as one of the rising heirs to the family. Her house hadn’t gone to the School of Death for a few generations, preferring to keep training homegrown, so it was a bit of a shock when the girl announced her intention to apply to the school.

Hobbies/Interests:
Gardening
Programming
Drawing

Other:
Thanks to her magic, she can quickly learn the basics of languages or basic skills, the more she interacts with it, the more data is added to the Antikythera library. This is limited however in the sense she can just copy what she saw, it takes time to actually learn something so she can create new things. (As in, she can play certain memorized songs on a piano, but can’t compose something new)

Name: Vanessa Knight

Age: 16
Gender: Female

Nationality: American
Hometown: N/A
Date of Birth: 3rd November, 2002
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 134 lbs.
Status: Greenhorn

Weapon of Choice: Assault Rifle, Bayonet, Knuckledusters

Magic: Though Vanessa arguably has no connection or skill in anything magical, were such a thing to manifest, it might just take the form of an ability to enhance her senses, specifically her vision. Such a thing might even let her see creatures through their supernatural disguises, in the dark, in a storm. But who knows? It's not like she can do any magic!

Strengths:
Vanessa has a sharp eye and is effectively skilled enough to take an inpromptu position as a close-range sniper or point girl. She's strong and capable, with an impressive physique even before her admission. What she lacks in extra-natural ability she makes up for with undying determination and hard-nosed competence. She is a survivor and will look for the solution rather than worry about what might happen.

Weaknesses:
She appears to have little or no connection to the magical arts whatsoever, owing, at the very least, to never having had any talent activated. As such, she is immediately at a disadvantage when the magics come out, and without her weapons or restrained, there isn't much she can do. People could also theoretically make her zone out by talking about her parents.

Fears:
Vanessa has seen her worst fear come to life. Now she fears that the demons will overrun the earth. Deep down, Vanessa is intensely scared of demons - the more inhuman-looking, the worse they are. And, without any apparent reason, cats.

Personality:
The perfect picture of a put-upon war survivor, Vanessa is generally quiet and frowning. She has issues relaxing, and can generally be found looking for the exits and the best places for an ambush whenever she enters a new place. She is often on guard and tense, and has issues with standing up for herself in other ways than getting physical.

Likes:
Hunting Demons
Guns
Assertiveness
Results
Justice
The Truth

Dislikes:
Demons
Making fun of her heritage
Derision
Unprofessional behavior
Staying in one place for too long

Backstory:
Vanessa is the daughter of Lieutenant Reginald Knight, an army officer stationed in the Oceanic region. She moved around with him for most of her young life, adopting the style and knowledge of your regular nomadic military daughter.

Approximately two years ago, all contact was lost with the latest such of her homes, when the base on an island in the Pacific suddenly went silent. Investigation revealed a mass of blood and burnt buildings. Only a handful of survivors were found, two of which have since gone missing. Vanessa was found during day two of the investigation effort, locked in a basement with a whole arsenal of guns, covered in blood and clutching a knife in desperation. Few bodies were ever discovered in the area, but there can be - should be - no argument about what terrible events transpired to exterminate a whole base of soldiers.

On interrogation, Vanessa let slip that she fought back. Whatever transpired in the rest of the interview, it was enough to put her on the interest list, despite having no apparent lineage to speak of. Now she is at the school with nothing but trinkets from her past life.

Full Name:Levi Jasper Hall
Age: Sixteen.
Gender: Male.
Birthday: Sixth of December, Sagittarius.
Nationality: American.
Hometown: Chicago, Illinois.

---

Statues:Greenhorn.
Weapon of Choice: Two butterfly swords and couple throwing knifes
Magic: Once Levi’s magic reveals itself it will allow him to teleport, maybe even one day evolving into shadow slipping, his own shadow will cover his body breaking down his molecular structure and then re-assembling his body elsewhere. Because of the break down of his body Levi can only handle two to three jumps a day. He also has to rest between each teleport, times vary depending on how far he travels from point A to point B, he also can only send his body to spots within his field of vision.
Strengths: Most of his strengths come from be trained by his father for criminal-actives. Stealth, free-running, balance, and sleight of hand.
Weakness: Because of his cynical view of people he tends to go off and do things on his own.
Fears:

• Water, he does not know how to swim.
• Being locked up, this fear came from years of thieving with his father. The thought of having to stay in a small room to never go anywhere or do anything haunts him.
• Thunder storms, it is a fear he has had from childhood. It is borderline Astraphobia.

---

Personality:
Because of his father and the company he keeps, Levi, learned not to trust people as they tend to only have their own agenda at heart. This keeps him from getting close to others so he is often seen by himself. He loves the adrenalin rush he gets from his thieving criminal activities. Despite his fondness of cracking complex securities and escaping without getting caught he detest liking it so deeply. He fundamentally wants to be a good person but genuinely knows he could easy slip in another direction. He sometimes can become rather envious of other people to some degree. Whether it be possessions, wealth, skill level, or the closeness two people share. This drives him to work harder in everything he does.

Of course he's also has a side he would never want anyone to see. Levi loves cute things baby animals, any pastel colors, plush toys, homemade crafts, and everything in-between. He loves finding a warm sunny spot to play his guitar. He also yearns to find some one he can truly trust and be able to open up with.
Likes:

• Knives.
• Music
• Cute things, this he tries to keep to himself.

Dislikes:

• Camping.
• Spicy food.
• People who think they are better than everyone else.

Hobbies:

• Playing guitar.
• Boxing.
• Photography.

History:Levi never knew his mother only hearing stories from his father. However, the stories would consistently change so he always wondered what was real and what wasn’t. Having one parent was normal nowadays what was not normal was said parent being a criminal. Who started teaching Levi, at a very young age, the “family business”. His first lessons started with pick-pocketing and boxing. It took him no time to learn how to quickly slip into a pocket then disappear. Though learning the right moves for boxing was rather difficult but he kept at it never giving up, not that his father would have let him. Despite his father being a great thief, Levis living situation consist of crappy hotel rooms and trashy rental places as a result of his father being a world class gambler.

Levi Hall knew nothing of magic and demons until around his sixteenth birthday. A heist was set into motion, it was beyond dangerous, a warehouse full of valuable treasures belonging to other known criminals. His fathers crew contained seven others, not counting himself, who all spoke against having a child a part of the burglary. Not because they happened to be concerned about his well-being they just did not want him to fu*k it up, a lot was riding on the heist. Nonetheless, Levi kept up did his part and the robbery was a success. He even managed to swipe a little something for himself not knowing a secret society from The House of Felidae had planned to confiscate the ancient scroll for themselves.

The House of Felidae, upon learning someone had taken the scroll a night earlier, tracked down Levi with little to no effort. They had found him in a small run down building tuning his guitar. The exchange happened quickly with the reapers demanding the scroll, Levi fighting back poorly against the trained professionals, the manuscript dropping to the ground rolling open, than a low-level demon escaping the scroll parchment. The last of the sequence, The House of Felidae killing the demon than fleeing the deteriorating building, went by fast Levi could have thought it was was a dream if it had not been for the letter he received from the School of Death a couple of months later. He was not sure how he impressed one of the reapers but he was not going to pass up this opportunity.

Weapon of Choice: The Juru Pakal - A kris blade that is one of the Arachne family's treasures. It is an ornate, jet-black kris that Enzo hangs from his waist. Sturdy yet lightweight, this allows Enzo to be nimble while fighting, although, his chronic sickness makes it hard for him to maximize the blade's strength. To compensate for his lack of endurance, Enzo makes sure to lace the Juru Pakal in a neurotoxin, designed to incapacitate his opponents as quickly as possible before his own strength fails.



Similar to those of the Arachne clan, Enzo shackles three spirits of those who fell in battle against the demons to his side. These spirits inhabit three individual armor sets with different specializations. Normally, Enzo can just summon the three armor-spirits and let them do battle for him. However, when push comes to shove, Enzo can also command the spirit to equip the armor on him or on allies, providing them with the armor's benefits. The armors themselves are ethereal, being treasures of the Arachne clan. Once they are damaged too much, the armor dissipates where it is slowly repaired.

Strengths:

• High Intelligence - Enzo is a skilled tactician, owing to his poor health which forced him to stick to literature and study. While not the smartest in his family, Enzo can definitely hold his own in devising battle tactics, strategies, and emergency protocols.
• Decent Swordsman - While his constitution is impaired, Enzo was still trained in his family's fighting tactics. He can't always hold his own against a normal fighter, but with the use of his armors, his fighting prowess is greatly increased.
• Great Wealth - As a direct member of the House Arachne, Enzo has access to a ridiculous amount of wealth, owing to his family's businesses around the world. They have connections even in the black market, but that's a story for another time.
• Calm and Analytical - It is almost impossible to tick off Enzo as he had been trained to keep a calm demeanor even in the worst of times. He almost never panics, and he can serve as a decent leader in desperate scenarios.

Weaknesses:

• Chronic Illness - Due to a strange infantile illness, Enzo is perpetually plagued with a disease that leaves him coughing and fatigued. This, as a consequence, makes him weaker than other legacies alongside reduced stamina and even energy levels.
• Overzealous and Lawful Neutral - As someone who abides by the laws without the taint of prejudice, Enzo can be quite close-minded when it comes to lawbreakers and unconventional individuals. He has little tolerance for those who do not follow protocols, and this can put him at odds with his peers.
• Weakness for Direct Combat - Enzo prefers to let his spirits do his fighting for him. While he can fight toe-to-toe with his armors equipped, he is still weaker than expected of a legacy (compared to his brothers and sisters). Even greenhorns can defeat him given enough time and tactics. Once the armors are defeated, Enzo may be as weak as a greenhorn-- sometimes, even weaker.

Fears:

• Breaking the Law - Enzo never wants to break the regulations. Any Arachne who violates the sacred tenets are expelled and disowned, something Enzo never wants to happen to him.
• Disgracing the Family Name - He has a lot to live up to. As such, Enzo is scared of other legacies, especially greenhorns, to best him in combat. This may stain his family name, and put more burden on his bloodline than he already had with his illness.
• Demons of Arayat - The idea of the demons destroying his clan is a nightmare to Enzo. He had lost a few brothers and sisters to these clawed wretches, and he would be damned if he let those fiends threaten his clan again.

---

Personality: Law and order. These are the things that Enzo believes are the cornerstones of society. Black and white, there's nothing in between. Good and evil. You need to choose a side, and indecision is a side of its own.

Enzo is the personification of efficiency, doing everything in organized protocols and sequences. He dislikes deviation, even in little things such as different brands of pens and even shades of color. Enzo appreciates the company of smart and calm individuals who he can strike a conversation with; however, idiots and happy-go-lucky fools grind his gears. There's nothing more irritating than a ray of sunshine treating this entire midnight pit of a job like a game. Reapers died to keep humanity safe, and anyone who treats it as a joke is immediately put into a bad spot in Enzo's book.

Likes:

• Poetry and Singing
• People who obey the law
• Organized rooms and spaces
• Bringing justice to the oppressed
• Strangely enough, he enjoys videogames
• Planning and strategies
• Fried chicken-- he can also whip up his own batch

Dislikes:

• Lawbreakers
• Those who deviate from protocol
• Spicy foods and beef
• Unnecessary fighting and conflict
• Inefficient fools

Backstory:

'I'll protect you, Enzo.' his sister had said that day.

'Thanks.' he replied.

Ten spiders faced the demons of Arayat on a rainy October, just as the strongest typhoon of the year slammed against the Philippines. As the dark clouds spiraled with raging lightning bolts tearing at the sky above them, the Spiders of Arachne marched into the devil's crack with their familiars shackled to their sides.

Et araneo vitae,

His father had spoken the words of their house.

Et nobis protegam eam,

They answered. And, with a march, they stormed the demons' keep where a ferocious battle took place for days on end.

Enzo equipped the Datu unto him, allowing the lad to fend off two demons with a crescent slash. The darkness of the keep haunted Enzo, and the only thing to serenade him was the pained grunts of his family and the snarls of the demons they were fighting. He crashed against a nearby rocky wall, struggling to catch his breath. His poor health had always haunted him, a chronic illness which plagued him since his birth. While his brothers and sisters were already training with blades, he struggled to pick up a wooden sword. And, while they summoned their familiars with ease, Enzo bled from his nose when he even tried exerting the spell.

He was the inferior Spider, and it was only his broken pride and a need to prove himself that he even volunteered to join his family's expedition. The reality of his disability stung at the lad, causing him to burst at his parents, screaming at them to bring him with them to storm Arayat.

However, in this moment of weakness, a group of C-Class demons surrounded him. Overwhelmed, Enzo fell to the earth, but his sister, Teresa, saved him as she barreled through the horde with her minotaur familiar. Still, as valiant as Teresa's efforts were, she could not stop the relentless waves of demons to rush towards the weakened Spider, and with nothing left to do, she jumped in front of a blade meant for Enzo.

As the weakened Spider watched the life ebb from his sister's eyes, the visages of his brothers darting through the corridor and fending off the demons lulled Enzo into an exhausting nightmare which heavily affected his personality.

Though the Spiders eradicated the demons, they lost Teresa that day. From that moment forward, Enzo changed his outlook in life. He no longer rebelled and placed his family's safety above others. He accepted the fact that laws were there to protect the people, and to break them was inviting death.

He broke the rule that his family placed on him-- the rule that he should train better first before joining, and that cost his sister's life.

Accepted a year earlier at the Academy due to his experience in battling demons, Enzo now trains harder than ever to avenge the memory of his sister and to avenge the deaths of those who were killed by the things darker than them.

Hobbies/Interests:

• Enzo does like to sing, and he absent-mindedly sings different folk songs and tunes he knows.
• Strangely enough, he has grown to like video games-- if only because it allowed him to surpass his bodily limitations. He does report hackers and toxic behaviors, though.

Name: Torok Vencor

Nicknames/Alias: “Sleeper” or “Rook”

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Nationality: Russian, with some Norwegian heritage.

Hometown: outskirts of Moscow

Date of Birth: 11th of July

Appearance: Torok tends to wear loose fitting clothing with natural colors, mostly brown, tan, or green colors. He does have a bit of facial hair already even with his age and has green eyes that go surprisingly well with his blonde hair.

Height: 6’5

Weight: 220 Lbs.

Status: Legacy

Family: Ivory

Weapon of Choice: He does wield a spear as a melee weapon with two large knives for back up, and favors dual heavy caliber pistols for mid-range engagements.

Magic: This one is a strange case, being a legacy; one would expect him to be well versed in magic. Well not this one, he is what you would call a late bloomer. Not only that, but even though he is a Ivory his magic is not the type normally associated with his family. However, once his magic does manifest he will find the ability to wield and manipulate light. To the eventual degree of being able to bend light around objects and living things making them invisible, being able to form solid objects from light, and possibly being able to purify the corruption of demons. Although, that last one will take a while to get too.

Strengths:
- Composure - Keeping a cool head in engagements and stressful situations.
- Close quarters combat – he has received a lot of combat training due to having no magic manifestations yet.
- Optimistic – always seeing the bright side of things.
- Courageous – you can count on him to step up to any challenge regardless of his handicap.

Weaknesses:
- No magic – so far he hasn’t had a magic manifestation. He has had some rudimentary magic training but that’s it.
- Big – he’s a big guy and doesn’t always fit in the smallest places. He also tends to be a little slower than others are.
- Range – his training doesn’t account for long range combat and unfortunately he’s not very good at dealing with anything from a distance.
- Selfless – he doesn’t tend to consider his own needs or safety when it comes to the needs or safety of others.

Fears:
- Never manifesting his magic.
- Losing someone, he was meant to protect.
- Letting down his family by becoming a lesser reaper because of having no magic.
- A cage.

Personality: Torok is what some would call loud and boisterous. Because of his upbringing, his family revel in good times, laughs, storytelling, and just having a good time at any opportunity. There is so much death and destruction in the world and their jobs mean that they could be killed at any moment. Because of this, he tries to live every moment of it, making people laugh and feel comfortable and safe, getting to know others and making friends, always trying to make others smile through jokes and gifts. Being selfless with his time, energy, and finances.

This does not mean he is innocent or arrogant as to the line of work he has chosen or the world around him. No. he knows how cruel this world is and it could always use a little more light. To some this can come off as annoying or that he is ignorant of the world around them and which they live. Not many others have the attitude and out look to see the world around them as he does. He will always be there to see others succeed and lift them up and out of the gloom, which surrounds them.

Likes:
- Laughing
- Story’s
- Celebrating
- Fighting
- helping
- Good food
- Good friends

Dislikes:
- Seeing others sad
- Demons
- Not being able to work with magic
- Not being able to help
- Others who just want to bring people down

Backstory: Torok was born to a family centered closely to the leadership of the Ivory. His father, Darrius Vencor, is a reaper and strong leader. He heads specialized strike teams aimed at taking on demons were collateral damage has to be low. His mother, Valerie Vencor, was a reaper in her younger years but now manages most of the communications, requests, and sightings that come with being a reaper and talking with the other houses. She is very good at multi-tasking.

He is the youngest of four brothers and five sisters, all of whom have reached high positions within their house. So far, he has only lost one sister while she was working. Even though his magic still hasn’t manifested, even while being a legacy, his family don’t look down on him or treat him differently. The worst they have done is tease him with the name ‘sleeper’ because he’s a late bloomer. His upbringing was just a little more combat orientated because of it.

He has spent most of his days doing just that, whenever he wasn’t going through school to learn the basics of this world, he was training. He knows his upbringing wasn’t as tough or hard as others but he doesn’t want to flaunt it either. He chose to keep working towards this job to protect and help. what kind of person could he except to be if he didn’t at least try even if he didn’t have any magic.

Hobbies/Interests:
He likes to sing when he is bored and can’t meditate. Often one can find him meditating when he has nothing better to do. Finding or making gifts for the people around him, normally jewelry or trinkets.

Other: if he had a theme song it would probably be, “Matter of time” by Tribe.
