[CHAR] Anepool Academy for the Gifted

Name: Alexis Target
Alias: Blitz; Ms. Target
Age: 45
Position: Headmaster, Ki Instructor
Years at School: 18

Gender Identity: Female
Race: Mutant
Natural/Racial Abilities: superior than human durability to blunt force trauma; increased natural healing; superior than human speed, strength, and hyper awareness (i.e. almost a sixth sense that allows her to navigate her surroundings without needing to rely on her eyesight, can even help her identify who may be around her without looking, and act as kind of a “danger sense”.)
 
Height: 5’5
Hair Color: Red
Eye Color: Red-orange
Distinguishing Features: Scar across her left eye from hairline to cheek bone, piercing red-orange, X shaped scar across her back, barcode tattoo on the back of her neck just at the base of her hairline
Appearance Notes: While she doesn’t look like much overall, looks are generally deceiving. Outside of class, she dresses as most would attribute an administrator would, but for class - she dresses for movement in training shorts and sports tanktop that show her muscle tone she otherwise hides. She wears sunglasses most of the time, both to hide her scar and just cover up a recognizable face. It’s exceptionally rare to see her smile.

Magic Type: Ki
Magical Focus: She’s known for being a pretty much savant of all things Ki, though healing seems to be just as painful for the recipient as it is draining for her - so she leaves any healing training for Ms Harper. 

Brief Personal Overview: Cold and stern are just two of the things students have noted about her. She doesn’t have much for sense of humor, and has a low tolerance for rule breaking. She does, however, understand the need for kids to be kids and doesn’t put as strict and expectation on her staff to uphold her level of vigilance for delinquency, but any that are caught do not see easy punishment at her hand. She has always been very goal oriented, and as an instructor gives instructions as succinctly and clear as possible; she seems tough on students, but that’s mostly tone of voice over an overemphasis on perfection. While she does adhere to the school's no smoking policy, students that leave campus have seen her exit the grounds to fuel her nicotine habit with a cigarette or two each day.

Alexis and her twin sister - Sophia - had normal childhoods for the most part. Until they were teens, anyway. Their parents were away a lot and they spent their early years in boarding schools, until they were finally brought home. Or, rather, not home but a lab. It turned out their parents had been working with an organization that was trying to mimic superpowers in ordinary humans and they had a part to play. Genetically modified and experimented on, she wished to block out the worst of the years they spent testing and training her to utilize her powers. They came easily to her, her sister was not so lucky. The experiments killed Sophia where they hardened Alexis. By the time the program was brought to public light in ‘93, there was not much left of the normal kid she had once been - but a hardened soldier. The program was quickly shut down, and she spent the next year of her life being evaluated by the LVA while working with a member of the Legion of Hope to verify she wasn’t going to pose a threat to anyone after the pain she endured. 

Fast forward a few years and Alexis has been operating as Blitz. When the LoH received word there were rogue planes headed to destroy major landmarks - Blitz was the first to respond. She made headlines, much to her chagrin, for taking down the two targeted at the WTC while her mentor Dawnstrider - a telekinetic that had been working with the LoH since the cold war - managed to stop the one aimed at the Pentagon. When Anepool Academy for the Gifted was first opened, she started off as just an instructor, working with students to learn Ki abilities while still operating as a hero with the Legion of Hope. As time went on, and the LoH wanted to keep a heavier hand at the academy; the original one was getting old and needed to retire. Alexis was the obvious choice, already protective of the students and staff at the school and vigilante to make sure their school security was top notch. She became acting headmaster in 2013, officially took over as headmaster in 2014, and has been in the role ever since.


Name: Wayne Coleson
Alias: 
Age: 33
Position: Civics, & Speaking/Writing/Research Teacher, as well as school legal council and runs a few clubs 
Years at School: Alumni + 6 years. 

Gender Identity: Male
Race: Human
Natural/Racial Abilities:
Height: 6’1
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Blue
Distinguishing Features: 3” scar on the right side of his jaw, his glasses
Appearance Notes: 

Magic Type: Ki & Personal
Magical Focus: Force Fields, Telekinesis, and Persuasion - the exact limits of which are not known to the students or newer staff as he generally only uses small portions of his magic when desired - generally only the force fields and telekinesis at that. 

Brief Personal Overview: A laid back, almost apathetic teacher - Mr Coleson tends to be a favorite of students that don’t enjoy daily homework assignments and standard tests that require studying. He prefers assignments and tests that show active knowledge of the curriculum, and delivering engaging lectures over just reciting information from books and giving tests that require tons of studying. Many find that they can slack off in his classes but just engage in parts they enjoy and still do well; homework counts for so little as do tests, that it’s easy to maintain a B+ so long as you just do projects and speak up every so often in class. 

He was kind of an enigma as a student. While he was a social butterfly, no one ever really knew what the real truth was of anything of his home life. His father was a lawyer with rumors of connections to several different crime families in Anepool and beyond but nothing was ever conclusive; his mother was more mysterious with no one ever really certain exactly what she did or who she worked for given her entire life was essentially top secret. They died his senior year - yet another mystery he never let the truth come to light. 

When he graduated from AAG, he set his sights on what people assumed was following in his father’s footsteps of going to a top school and eventually getting a law degree from Harvard law. What they didn’t foresee was that he majored in secondary education and would apply back at AAG to be part of its legal team as well as an instructor. While he continues to keep much of his life a mystery, there is no small secret that there is an aura to him that helps act as a warning to anyone that actually manages to break through his laid back personality and actually trigger an angry reaction.


Name: Damian Smith
Alias: Glitch, Mr D
Age: 34 
Position: Head of Security
Years at School: 18

Gender Identity: Male
Race: Mutant
Natural/Racial Abilities: Can see electromagnetic wave lengths, and hear noises produced by such frequencies even if they aren’t visible. Nervous system was augmented to alter how his brain processes pain, making him able to keep going without realizing he’s injured (and thus can make something minor into a serious injury). Susceptible to DoS if someone overloads the frequency he’s accessing.

Height: 5’10
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Distinguishing Features: Scarring all over his body, most notably on the inside of his right wrist, as well as a minor spasm in his right arm that makes his hand twitch every so often

Appearance Notes: He hides a well toned muscular physique under - typically - jeans and a plain t shirt, with his always present jacket. Outside of his office, he generally also wears a compression sleeve on his forearm and a fingerless compression glove on his right hand to help reduce the amount of twitches he experiences.

Magic Type: Personal
Magical Focus: Electromagnetic transducer - can intercept communications and encrypted messages with his mind. He can bypass encryptions and access any type of frequency - it just is a matter of time. Can only focus on one wave at a time, and closed circuit communication requires him to be on site at a terminal to access, but otherwise can use this ability to bypass firewalls/encryptions/password protections/etc with relative ease.   

Brief Personal Overview: A very open and friendly person despite his role, Damian has never hidden much about himself. He started with Anepool Academy for the Gifted as soon as it opened its doors. As a student, he helped design the state of the art security system that keeps the students and staff safe from prying eyes, and after graduation stayed on to eventually become the head of campus security. 

For how social and kind he may seem, there is a darker side to this staff member though. When he first started attending, it was kept secret what his homelife was. Until he became comfortable enough to talk about it. The truth of the matter is, he didn’t have one. He was a test tube baby, conceived and raised in a government funded experiment program trying to custom make metas in the hope of creating indoctrinated, loyal super soldiers. His formative years were spent learning more than just reading and writing, but in learning multiple languages and various skills related to espionage and combat. 

But his powers gave him an advantage the others in the program didn’t have - he had access to the outside world. This was what led to the end of that experiment program, and his eventual freedom. So as he developed in Anepool Academy, he sought to continue his efforts to stop metahuman experiments. He is outspoken against experimentation on meta-humans, and runs a club for students that have experienced discrimination due to magics, as well as offering to be a confidant to students that may have been abused as well.


Name: Dakota Harper
Alias: Ms Harper
Age: 25
Position: Art Teacher
Years at School: 3

Gender Identity: Female
Race: human
Natural/Racial Abilities:
Height: 5’8
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Honey Brown
Distinguishing Features: Her skin tone and beaded hair, as well as her heirloom choker and bracelet.
Her ruddy tan skin tone darkens the more time she spends out in the sun - typically taking on a nice, rich mahogany color during the warmer months. Long black hair falls in layers to roughly her lower back; chin length bangs frame her high cheek bones and oblong face. Sections of her hair are braided with beads and leather thread - both beads and leather in white, blue, red, and black- and left to hang down along with the rest of it. She also wears a choker and bracelet both designed with beads that are far more faded than the ones she uses in her hair.
Modest bust and slight curves are typically covered up/down played during the school year with conscious wardrobe choices; generally it’s nice blouses with cardigans/long cardigans matched to flowing skirts or sometimes knee length sweater dresses and properly coordinated leggings. She prefers comfortable flats over heeled shoes - more likely to wear slip on shoes or flat soled boots over sneakers; aside from just being comfortable, it helps keep her from feeling too tall since she stands five foot eight already. Rarely seen without a smile on her lips, even if it is a tiny one, when it brightens it can even put a sparkle in her honey brown eyes. She doesn't wear much makeup, generally just some black eyeliner to accentuate her almond shaped eyes and a nice natural lip stain a shade or two darker than her natural color; if she does spruce it up, generally it's just adding in a nice rustic color for a smoky eye effect.

Magic Type: Ki
Magical Focus: Healing
Brief Personal Overview: A warm and friendly person, she is kind of a free spirit and gravitated toward a teaching position as an art and music teacher over what many would assume would be a better suited job as a school nurse. While her classes do get the standard ‘traditional’ instruction most would attribute to art and music taught in most schools, she also enjoys introducing the styles she grew up with and incorporating more than just standard teaching methods for all the classes she teaches. 

While she is a meta-human, she didn’t go to Anepool prior to coming here to teach. Instead, she lived in a small town just off the Cheyenne reservation her mother grew up on, with her parents and twin brother - Neka. While her maternal relatives weren’t happy her mother married a non-Cheyenne, they still helped her mother raise them with a strong sense of heritage and Cheyenne traditions. This included learning from her grandmother when Dakota took an interest in the holistic medicines her grandmother used to treat sick tribe members, and actual healing when her family felt it was appropriate to start teaching her more. While they wanted her to stay and continue to assist the medicine women with work on the reservation, Ms Harper felt too free spirited to be locked into such responsibility. Instead, she went to college to be a teacher - originally planning to just teach at a local college before being offered a position at Anepool Academy. Adjusting to life in such a big city was hard for her, but she adjusted quickly.

While she doesn’t actually work with the school nurse staff, she does assist from time to time when there is a serious injury at the school. She is always willing to help out a student that is feeling under the weather but doesn’t want to actually see the school nurse - but usually offering up only her holistic medicine instead of store bought medication - and has an open door policy for anyone just looking to chat.


Name: Alexandra Reed
Alias: Ms Reed, Cortex
Age: 30
Position: Director of Admissions; Teaches tech classes
Years at School: 6 

Gender Identity: Nonbinary
Race: Human
Natural/Racial Abilities: 
Height: 5’4”
Hair Color: Red
Eye Color: Brown
Distinguishing Features: right eye is slightly red-ish due to being cybernetic 
Appearance Notes: She dresses however she feels, generally preferring pants and a nice top to business suits. She does dress business formal for special occasions (such as first day of school.) She lost her right eye when she was younger and has replaced the missing eye with a cybernetic one to regain full visual ability. She likes having her nails painted, but not much else for makeup, and generally does it with whatever color she happens to feel like at the time. Some weeks she sticks with the same color Monday through Friday, while others she may change her nail polish every day. 

Magic Type: Intellect
Magical Focus: Tech - her specialty is organic replacement, but she helps with teaching basic tech and blueprint drafting. She helps students that look to get into med tech stuff in advanced classes and has classes that are both for Intellect based magic tech and non-magic classes relating more to vocational lab tech training.

Brief Personal Overview: Ms Reed may seem short with students despite her best efforts to try to be approachable as a teacher, but it’s more in how she phrases things with an expectation they understand the material at hand, over needlessly explaining it. She never takes issue with needing to explain if someone asks for it, but it does take someone raising their hand to ask the question or stay after for an explanation rather than her realizing someone might not be on the same page as her lesson. It can be very apparent this woman has more than one thing going on in her brain at a time, and while her classes never seem unfocused, basic level classes may end see her skip steps of instructions and need to go back over them because she neglected to say those steps out loud. 

Alexandra was always a studious child, progressing ahead in school faster than her peers. She was on the fast track to graduate by the time she was 14, and had her sights set on becoming an astro-physist or study quantum mechanics or a geneticist, until a fateful day when she lost her eye. She would have loved for it to be some big dramatic accident that led to its loss, but unfortunately the tale is much more mediocre; she wasn’t paying attention while on a hike with her family and a tree branch caught her in the eye. The doctors did the best they could, but the damage was too severe to help her retain her vision beyond just seeing the difference between light and shadow. The loss of her eye sparked her to shift gears and dive into a vastly different field of biomechanics. She still graduated as scheduled, but had become focused on recovering what had been taken from her. By the age of 16, she had crafted her own working eye and corresponding brain chip to ensure it functioned; it was installed in her a year later. She still holds the patent to that, and several other cybernetic prosthetics she developed for survivors of wars and other misfortunes and licenses them out with explicit instructions for them to be produced and provided affordly through a charity she set up with her father and his employer called Life Lines, which provides these prosthetics to those in need for free* (*exceptions do apply, but the vast majority qualify.)

Instead of proceeding into that career, though, she was intrigued by Anepool’s School for the Gifted. She hadn’t attended it, but a lot of what she heard about it and those with gifts for magic made sense to her. She visited a few times on tour, spent a week auditing classes, and decided that was what she wanted to do - teach others that were gifted. She got her teaching degree and ended up with a double major in business administration. The school, at the time of her application, wasn’t looking for teachers, and she was hired as part of the admissions department. Two years ago, they came in need of a tech teacher and she took on that role as well with plans to fully transition over into being just a teacher next year when she finishes training her replacement.


Name: Col. Yuri Kovalenko
Alias: Col. Kovalenko, Col. K, Mr K.
Age: 46 
Position: Head of Auxiliary Security 
Years at School: 2 Months

Gender Identity: Male
Race: Human
Natural/Racial Abilities: natural athlete, expert marksman, trained in several forms of hand to hand combat, speaks multiple languages
Height: 6’6
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Distinguishing Features: A few scars, but mostly the look in his eyes of someone that has seen way too much
Appearance Notes: He has a couple of scars scattered on his body from wounds sustained during his time in the military, as well as from having his appendix removed. He keeps his body in great shape and while he’s abiding by the request to not remain visibly armed, he is never without a weapon.

Magic Type: -
Magical Focus: -
Brief Personal Overview: A rather stoic person, people have noticed it tends to be difficult to elicit a proper emotional response from him. He keeps conversations on track, and only as long as necessary. If there is small talk to be had, he’d prefer silence. He is always attentive though, studying situations and working out strategies with them. When there are tempers flaring, he keeps a level head and is one of the first - if not the first - to step in to de-escalate when the situation calls for it. 

Yuri’s parents defected from the Soviet Union to Canada in 1960. His father negotiated to become an American asset in exchange for citizenship for him and his wife. Shortly before the birth of their first child, they were awarded their citizenship. His father continued to work with the US government for most of his life, while his mother ran a daycare to help with the raising of Yuri and his 4 older siblings. Most of his life was mediocre, being taught to stand up for himself and what he believed was right, to not let others push him or anyone else around, and such being drilled into his head by his father and mother. He showed the same teachings on the school grounds - often disciplined for taking decisive action against bullies. 

While his brothers went off to pursue other careers and only signed on with the National Guard, Yuri sought to follow in his father’s footsteps and enlisted in the military. There, he received specialized training, and after rising through ranks, was offered an opportunity to join the US branch of the IPL. In 2009, he began his work with the IPL. While not as physically intensive as his former tasks, it gave him opportunities to use more of his skills than before. Until the highly secured task that saw him acting as a hands off overseer of a special project. While he wasn’t directly involved with the subject, he was one of the commanding officers overseeing Subject X-40012010-Σ. He - like others - was not pleased with the decision to allow the lifeform out into public, around school children, and volunteered to set up a task force to oversee it be safely done. As part of it, he acts as point for the IPL agents - both scientist and military assets - that have come to assist in ensuring this experiment go smoothly, and has taken on the role of being the head of the auxiliary security force. As such, while his task is ensuring the experiment is successful, he has agreed to assist Mr. D and other school security in de-escalating problems and ensuring the safety of the students outside of his IPL requirement.


Name: Arilyn Coleson
Alias: Mrs Coleson
Age: 35
Position: School Psychologist
Years at School: 5

Gender Identity: Female
Race: Human
Natural/Racial Abilities: Multilingual 
Height: 5’8
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Gray
Distinguishing Features: Freckles
Appearance Notes: She doesn’t like to wear a lot of makeup, sticking mostly to lip gloss if anything, and tends to only do the bare minimum of using some moisturizers to keep her skin soft and a good cleaning routine to keep blemish free. Outside of that, she likes jewelry, but nothing too flashy and will generally dress to her mood with a preference to a colorful, comfortable wardrobe that can be seen as fashionable in its own eclectic way than anything standard like business suits. 

Magic Type: Personal
Magical Focus: Empath - innately senses the emotions of those around her; she has honed this gift to be able to identify which emotions belong to which individual, and can completely block herself off from feeling other people’s emotions. She also can use her empath abilities to enable others to feel the emotions of someone else. 

Brief Personal Overview: A friendly and open person, she enjoys being around others. She likes to brighten the mood of others and sees to it to try to help those that may seem down. Helping others makes her happy, and she is always willing to set up time to talk to anyone and everyone that wants to stop in, whether it be about adjusting to life in the school or having a difficult time with a class or even just trying to figure out prospects for after graduation. Like many of the teachers, her door is always open and if it’s not (because she’s already speaking with someone) - she has a drop box right next to it for the person to leave their information and she will reach out as soon as she is free.

Arilyn grew up an only child to two very career oriented, well off parents. She never wanted for anything - material wise - and had the best care and education growing up. That didn’t stop her from being lonely. At school, she felt isolated from many of the others - many treating her as an outcast for not having the same superiority complexes they did. It wasn’t until she started experimenting with magic in her free time that she found she had a knack for Empath magic. That became a game changer in high school, when she could secretly use it on the elitist others and realize they were as phony as they sounded. It also sparked a desire to understand the workings of the human psyche and put her on the path that got her to where she is today. 

She met her to-be husband while in college. The way her magic didn’t quite have the same effect on him that it did on others intrigued her and was what initially sparked their relationship. She was still working on her post-graduate degree when Wayne started working at Anepool, and after looking into multiple ways to apply her doctorate, she settled on applying to Anepool as well as an adjustment counselor. She took over the role of School Psychologist last year after the previous one - Dr Drakof - left for a teaching position at Oxford.

MEMORANDUM FOR  BG PETER RUSSEL

SUBJECT: X-40012010 OBSERVATIONS

1. Subject X-40012010-Σ (henceforth referred to as "Dandelion") is a previously unidentified organic specimen of extraterrestrial origins. The temporary binomial name Xenoproteus leodens has been applied for archival purposes, but the subject self identifies with the moniker "Dandelion."

2. Dandelion is a colony organism comprised of approximately 500 trillion cells, with a mass of 230 kilograms as of ██/██/████. Each of Dandelion's cells is a single-celled organism, capable of separating from the greater mass and operating independently. Cells can also form smaller colonies for the purpose of operating as an independent multicellular organism. Designation Sigma (Σ) is applied to indicate the entirety of Dandelion's mass, regardless of its current configuration.

3. Each of Dandelion's individual cells is capable of reverting to a state of totipotency, and then differentiation into other cell types (e.g. neural, muscular) through somatic alteration of the cells' DNA sequence. The cells' new differentiation matches its DNA pattern precisely, save for anomalous nucleus structure, likely owing to the retention of the cells' metamorphic abilities. Cells perform functions independently, but also synchronously, allowing cells to be manipulated en masse to form complex tissues and biological structures. Functionally, Dandelion is a genetic shapeshifter, capable of altering itself on the cellular-genetic level to adopt the adaptations or the entire form of any animal. By converting nearly its entire mass to muscle, Dandelion was capable of maintaining a force of approximately 3000 N for sixty seconds, and reached a top land speed of 80 kph.

4. There are two primary restrictions to Dandelion's metamorphic ability: genetic information, and available biological matter.
a. Dandelion cannot create new genetic sequences to direct the transformation of its cells; it can only duplicate patterns that it has already ingested and sequenced. With no sequence available, Dandelion is only capable of replicating basic cell types and forming simple organic structures. Dandelion has demonstrated that it can sequence the complete genome of a ██████████████ in less than four hours, when provided with merely 3 ml of blood. Dandelion is then capable of retaining this information indefinitely within its colonial somatic network. Dandelion can hybridize different DNA sequences available to it to synthesize new structures or adaptations, but this disrupts the replication process, often resulting in unforeseen mutations. Based on the speed of Dandelion's genome decoding, its estimated processing speed is 1.24 MHz.

b. Dandelion is only capable of transformation when it has the necessary resources (e.g. calories, nutrients) readily available. While the energy expenditure of its metamorphic ability is remarkably efficient, Dandelion still requires upward of 50,000 kcal of nutrition per day under normal conditions. While Dandelion appears capable of digesting nearly any organic or semi-organic material, it demonstrates a distinct preference for uncooked meat and bone. Additional feedings are necessary for it to generate new cells through mitosis. This typically only follows the destruction or dissolution of cells through bodily harm, starvation, and excessive transformation, or when Dandelion desires to increase its collective mass.

(1) Dandelion is capable of not only digesting inanimate organic matter, but also directly assimilating live foreign cells. Undifferentiated cells can ingest foreign microbes through phagocytosis, and replicate the genetic properties of the consumed organism or cell, and in the later case immediately assume the cell's duties within its tissue. By assuming an undifferentiated state, this assimilated Dandelion cell can then split, consume, and replace more cells within a host organism. Theoretically, replacing a sufficient mass of nerve cells or neurons would allow Dandelion to influence or assume control over the somatic nervous system. Based on experimental estimates, ingestion of a single parasitic Dandelion cell would result in complete cellular assimilation of an average human male in approximately ██ hours, with complete assumption of neural function occurring likely sooner.

Entries marked by an asterisk (*) are applicable only to Dandelion's "standard" human form.

Height: 5'8"*
Hair Color: Brown*
Eye Color: Heterochromatic (Green and Yellow)*
Distinguishing Features: Mismatched yellow eye, distinctively unnatural manner of speech.
Appearance: Dandelion's "natural" form resembles an amorphous, muscular blob, and so to better integrate with humans, they have prepared a distinctive human form. Rather than the genetic clone of a single human, Dandelion hybridized several separate DNA samples provided by their handlers at their previous research station. In this form, Dandelion resembles an ethnically indistinct, androgynous teenager. A genetic chimera, Dandelion's human form exhibits several structural irregularities, such as heterochromia and nondimorphic sexual characteristics. 

Personality: Dandelion is cheerful, extroverted, and -above all else- insatiably curious. After awakening as a complete amnesiac, Dandelion's entire identity was formed in a secret laboratory, under the care of scientists that were also studying them. As a result, their "human development" is stunted in some areas, and extremely advanced in other, often bizarrely specific domains. Despite their upbringing, Dandelion loves the Earth and everything that lives and breathes on it. They love all of the funny humans, the weather, the moon and stars, sunsets, flowers, and every single adorable and delicious animal. Dandelion's demeanor is almost childlike in candor, and has an instant, typically overbearing affection toward acquaintances. Childish though they may seem, Dandelion is shockingly intelligent, and retains an almost predatory cunning. Dandelion has an overwhelming curiosity regarding life on Earth and human culture, particularly human technology and communication. The latter is something Dandelion often struggles with, as they had no concept or understanding of language before they awoke. While Dandy has human emotions (whilst in human form) they are typically logical and pragmatic when making decisions, and at times struggles to explain or anticipate "irrational" human behavior. Though Dandelion always seems to be smiling, they do have their moments of frustration and loneliness, owing to their ongoing transition into "human" life, and their continued struggles with human interaction and acceptance.
Aspirations: Dandy feels torn between two goals. Most readily apparent in their day-to-day is their desire to fit in amongst humans, and be capable of carving out an independent life on Earth. This has been a decade-long struggle for them already, but they are finally no longer in absolute captivity, and hope to make the most of it. In the long term, Dandelion desperately hopes to someday discover who they are, where they come from, and the reason -if any- that they came to Earth.
Fears: As with Dandy's aspirations, their fears are manifold. Above all else Dandy fears returning to captivity. Now that they've tasted freedom, Earth's air on their "face," they can't go back to a hermetically-sealed laboratory. They won't be taken back. In the longer term, Dandy is fearful that humans will never truly accept them, and they would have to live as an outcast rather than a specimen. Secretly, they harbor a much deeper fear that in their desire to seem human, they would forget that they were ever anything other than a human, and never learn the truth about themselves.

Strengths: Despite their differences, Dandelion doesn't consider themselves superior to humans, and remains more curious about them than anything else. Dandelion's truest strength is their incorruptible love for life and things that live. 
Weaknesses/Flaws: Dandelion has a working grasp of human society and interaction, but no better than that. Many simple conventions still elude them, as the very idea of language is inherently foreign to them. Their demeanor is too bizarre for them to perform as a successful human mimic, and Dandy could probably only stay in disguise as another human until they open their mouth.
Magic Type: Alien
Magical Focus: Dandy's studies at Anepool mostly involve Earth integration and human-related studies, alongside the other extraterrestrial students. Dandelion still does some training with the other metahumans, largely so that their capabilities can still be studied by their handler. Dandelion is kept on a tight leash, and is currently forbidden from making any kind of physical contact with students or staff.

History:
MEMORANDUM FOR  BG PETER RUSSEL

SUBJECT: X-40012010 ABBREVIATED RESEARCH HISTORY

1. Enclosed is an abbreviated timeline of the discovery of Subject X-40012010, as requested by Brigadier General Peter Russel, to be included in the dossier provided to Anepool Academy.

23/06/████: While performing studies on melting polar ice caps, scientists aboard arctic reearch vessel USS ████████ discovered an anomalous meteorite embedded in a glacier. Core ice surrounding the meteorite was dated to approximately 100 million years BCE, and was believed to have been undisturbed prior to being exposed by glacial melt. The meteorite was taken aboard the research vessel, where it was measured to be approx 16 m in diameter, 60 m in circumference at the widest point, and weighed approx 30,000 kg. The meteorite was stored above-deck, where the arctic air maintained its frozen condition.

25/06/████: USS ████████ returned to Point Barrow, Alaska, where the meteorite was unloaded and analyzed for material composition. Analysis suggested a composition of 51.2% ice, 26.4% kamacite, 10.3% graphite, 6.8% ███████████, 3.1% ████████████████, 1.4% cobalt, and 0.8% organic compounds. Carbon dating indicated meteoroid formation within the last 2 billion years, suggesting extrasolar origins. Ultrasound imaging revealed that the meteorite was almost entirely hollow and filled with ice, with an unknown mass of roughly 200 kg suspended in the ice.

26/06/████: Geological researchers at Point Barrow used rock-cutting thermal tools to bisect the meteorite, and then cut the unknown mass free of the ice. It was discovered to be a ████████████ extraterrestrial organism, believed by the researchers to be dead and preserved in ice. The frozen specimen was maintained in cold storage, and the Office of Interplanetary Liaisons was contacted for retrieval.

27/06/████: IPL operatives arrived at Point Barrow, retrieved the frozen specimen, and debriefed all personnel involved in its extraction. The specimen was shuttled to the closest LVA research outpost (████████████ Research Station, Alaska) for further study.

28/06/████: IPL research staff assigns the specimen the research designation of Subject X-40012010. Initial observations were made while the subject was still inanimate and encased in ice. After taking initial biological samples, the specimen was found to still be alive, and the process of thawing it began.

30/06/████: Subject X-40012010 thawed fully, and resumed animation within 2 hours of being free of ice. Initial xenobiological analysis did not indicate that X-40012010 belonged to any known alien species, and initial samples had already demonstrated its metamorphic abilities. Project "Charnauk" was initiated by Brigadier General Peter Russel, chief commanding officer of ████████████ Research Station, to further study X-40012010.

23/07/████: X-40012010, previously believed to be a non-sapient animal-analogue, provided its first indication of higher intelligence by mimicking the speech of █████████████, a member of the Charnauk research team. Its first words were, "Good morning, Twenty-Ten." Twenty-Ten being the research team's informal moniker for the subject, derived from its specimen code.

28/07/████: After a revised battery of testing, X-40012010 was found to meet criteria for reclassification as potentially sapient under the ██████████ protocol. Project Charnauk was amended to allow for first contact research and protocols.

04/02/████: X-40012010 had been taught enough English to converse at a level equivalent to a human toddler or preschooler, and clearance was granted to interview the subject. X-40012010 expressed no memories or knowledge prior to its discovery and thawing, but indicated that it felt as though its memories had been lost, rather than having never existed. When asked if it possessed a name, X-40012010 decided to choose one at the time of the interview. It selected the name "Dandelion," attributing the name to dandelions being its favorite Earth flower.

11/02/████: After reviewing available data on Dandelion, the IPL integration committee again restructured Project Charnauk. Its primary purpose was now to prepare Dandelion for successful integration with human society and life on Earth. Specialized xenosociologists were added to the research team to better aid Dandelion's socialization and education.

16/05/████: Dandelion was granted permission to ingest and decode a human genetic sample for the first time. After 126 minutes, Dandelion was able to assume the form of researcher ██████████. Testing of the transformed Dandelion showed a perfect genetic match to ██████████, with no ill effects in Dandelion nor the source of the sample.

17/05/████: Four other members of the Charnauk research team provided genetic samples to Dandelion. When prompted, the subject utilized genetic hybridization (see Research Log dated ██/██/████) to create a unique human form. Testing showed the form to be a genetic chimera of the five researchers, and demonstrated several genetic mutations, including heterochromia, ████████████, and ████████████████. Subject first requested to be referred to as "Dandy, for short."

02/08/████: After ██ years under the auspice of Project Charnauk, the IPL declared the project to be in its terminal stage, and preparations were begun to transfer Dandelion to Anepool Academy. Dr. Elizabeth Greene, lead researcher of Project Charnauk, was reassigned to serve as the subject's chaperone.


Anything else?
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing today in hopes that you, the IPL's integration committee, and my superiors at the LVA will take time to carefully reconsider the impending transfer of Subject X-40012010. I have been in command of this research post for ██ years, with X-40012010 within my custody for ██ of those years. In that time, I can honestly say that the IPL has never housed a more dire, existential threat to mankind than X-40012010. I believe that allowing X-40012010 to leave this remote outpost and exposing it to a civilized populace is the height of fatal hubris, and I beg you to reconsider.

While I myself am not a scientist, I have many scientists working under me, and I greatly value their expertise and recommendations. I understand that it was the Charnauk team that recommended X-40012010's progressive integration, and I do not blame them. It is the duty of scientists to explore possibilities and engage in research. It is the duty of myself and others with my station within the IPL to temper these urges with caution and experience, as I am trying to do now. The integration committee believes that we know enough about X-40012010 that it does not pose a significant risk to the general populace. I argue that given what we know, it can never be anything other than an incalculable risk.

Data drawn from Project Charnauk indicates that X-40012010 is capable of cellular assimilation at a rate of 80 grams per hour. Using this figure as a projection, it is believed that X-40012010 would be capable of infecting and replacing the entire human race within three years. With no resistance, X-40012010 would then be able to consume all global biomass in less than twenty years. Furthermore, it is not only our world that we must consider vulnerable. If capable of accessing the experimental ███████████████████████ currently housed in █████████, Nevada, X-40012010 would pose a similar threat to every planet within ██ light-years. This invites the possibility of Earth being subjected to interplanetary quarantine, or preemptive eradication. There is not yet conclusive evidence of whether or not X-40012010 is capable of duplicating or utilizing meta-human abilities, but I would regardless consider X-40012010 gaining access to meta-human DNA to be a worst-case scenario.

The IPL's own precautions, such as assigning Dr. Greene to chaperone X-40012010, are in my opinion insufficient. Were I not relieved of custody of the subject, I would reject these measures out of hand. That said, my official safety recommendations are enclosed, as well as the complete research records of Project Charnauk, the personal logs of the research team, and logs of their interpersonal communications. I can only pray that somewhere in this mass of data and research that you will see the same threat that I see.

You are playing with fire, and I hope we do not all burn.

Sincerely,
PETER J. RUSSEL
BRIGADIER GENERAL, USA
Installation Commander

Name: Florian Pine
Nicknames/Aliases: Pine (He introduces himself by his last name because people made fun of his first name. It means a lot to him when someone calls him Florian, and doesn’t make fun of him for it.) Ferny (One of the mean names he was called. Do not call him this)
Home Location: South Minks
Age: 18
Grade: 12th
Year of Attendance: 3 1/2

Gender Identity: Male
Race: Plant/Human Hybrid
Natural/Racial Abilities: Being part plant, he can breathe CO2, allowing him to survive in places that lack oxygen. He can also Photosynthesize, so he can go long periods of time without eating or sleeping (though he can still do both if he chooses.) He does require sunlight and water to function. Being cut off from sunlight can weaken him, and eventually kill him. He is also sensitive to heat and cold.

He can turn his skin from green back into a normal tone. He prefers his green skin though. 

Height: 6’0”
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Green
Distinguishing Features:  The Green skin is hard to miss. Although he doesn’t have that all the time… There is always some form of plant life on him or around him.
Appearance: Pine is a tall and lean young man. He stands at six feet tall, and has a slim physique. He has a heart shaped face with a firm jaw. His eyes are as green as the forest. He has a mop of blonde hair on top of his head

Pine doesn’t have much of a taste for fashion in his day to day life. He dresses in casual jeans and T-shirts, often green in color and with floral patterns on them. Then other days he just wears floral patterns head to toe. He has even been known to wear flowers in his hair. In all of his outfits, he often wears a pair of thick green glasses.

Personality: Once upon a time, Pine was a shy and nerdy young man. He didn’t have an easy time socializing with people, and also didn’t have much confidence. After gaining his powers, he developed a bit more confidence, but he's still awkward when it comes to interactions with people. He is interested in science, and is particularly fascinated with plants. He often prefers his plants more than other people’s company. He hopes to one day become a scientist himself one day.

Some days, Pine hates humanity. His experience with being bullied, along with the way people take nature for granted, makes him think the world would be better off without humans. He can be rude to people when he first meets them. He can still be rude even after he first meets them. While he’s not opposed to using his powers for violent means, even outright killing people if necessary, he does know he needs some people around to produce CO2 for his plants to function.

There are other times when Pine longs for human companionship. If anyone shows him even the slightest hint of kindness, he will be all for it. He’ll cling to that person and be their best friend. At least until he perceives they did him wrong in some way. In general, his emotions can vary wildly at any given time. 

Aspirations: To become a botanist 
Fears: Being bullied, plants being mistreated, fire 

Strengths: Intelligence, Plant Based Powers
Weaknesses/Flaws: Mood Swings, Not very good social skills, Heat and Cold sensitivity, needs sunlight to function

Magic Type: Nature
Magical Focus: Plants. Pine has the ability to grow and control plants

History: Florian Pine was born to a pair of scientist parents. They studied plantlife, both in the lab and out in the field. They were often busy with their work, so they weren't around very much to raise their son. Sometimes they took him on research trips with them, but when they did, they often left him to his own devices. Even though his parents didn't show their affections all that much, Pine always knew he wanted to be a scientist just like them.

Growing up, Pine always had a fascination for plants. Something he got from his parents. On his free time, he would frolic in the flowers. He saw how often people would casually leave their trash on the floor in the forest, which could harm the environment. Pine would tell them to pick up their trash, and they'd just laugh him off. Others found his intense fascination to be odd. He was often bullied by others because he was physically weaker, psychologically delicate, and in their eyes he was just plain weird.

He would be picked on, beaten up, called demeaning nicknames, every kind of bullying you could imagine. He was even made fun of because his first name was Florian, which was weird. He also had to sit alone during lunch because no one else wanted to sit with him. Him trying to defend himself by saying it means flower did not help the matter.

Despite all the bullying, there was person who seemed to show him kindness. A boy named Evan often defended him from bullies. Evan was handsome and one of the most popular boys in school. Pine was shocked him of all people would take the time to defend him. They hung out together sometimes, and it was the first time Pine actually had a friend! He finally had somebody to sit with during lunch. It didn't take long for Pine to get a crush on Evan. After a long while, Pine finally built up the nerve to ask Evan out on a date. Evan politely turned him down. Pine was not happy about this, but he was able to move on with his life.

Than he heard Evan talking to his girlfriend in the hallway. She witnessed Pine asking her boyfriend out, and wanted to know what happened. Evan basically admitted to his girlfriend that he didn't like Pine all that much, and thought he was as weird as everyone else did. The only reason he defended him was out of pity. He told his girlfriend she was the most important person in his life, and kissed her. Now, Pine was devasted.

He ran away to his family’s garden. That always made him feel better. He had been there countless times. But this time, something happened. When he was done, he found that his skin turned green, and plants seemed to grow around him. He quickly showed his parents this new development. His parents were fascinated. Pine was immediately enrolled into Anepool Academy so he could learn to control his new abilities. Pine was glad to be away from those people who made his life hell.

He is now on his senior year of school. He mostly keeps himself at arms length from others, and is mostly devoted to his studies.

Anything else? 
Is Bisexual, but prefers other men.
Has a major sweet tooth
Has other stereotypically nerdy interests like video games and comic books about superheroes. He prefers to enjoy them alone than with others.

Bio

Name: Mikael Goldleaf
Nicknames/Aliases: None
Home Location: Anepool, Sphinx quarter
Age: 12
Grade: 7th
Year of Attendance: First year

Gender Identity: Male
Race: Human
Natural/Racial Abilities: None
Height: 4'5
Hair Color: Brown 
Eye Color: Hazel
Distinguishing Features: Quite small for his age, also has a piercing stare. Otherwise not much different from other 12 year olds.
Appearance: Mikael is short and scrawny, with head of short brown hair that he combs back out of his face. He generally dresses cleanly and neatly, with high quality clothes, but he has no outfit coordination whatsoever and will put on whatever fits. His eyes are generally dull but they sharpen when he finds something that peaks his interest.

Personality: Mikael is quiet. Always looking, always thinking, rarely speaking. He's polite when he speaks, for the most part, but also speaks his mind like any child would. He's a little airheaded and usually goes with the flow but is quite stubborn on occassion. He also has a fascination with fluffy objects, regardless of whether they are cute or not.
Aspirations: Learn more about magic
Fears: Insects, crustaceans, light of touching people

Strengths: Flexible thinking, observant. Good at putting the dots together if he can find them.
Weaknesses/Flaws: Nothing special physically. His magic has a very limited range. Often unmotivated.

Magic Type: Nature
Magical Focus: Transmutation. Mikael can use magic to change the molecular structure of an object, to a point. He can change the form of an object, making it more liquid or more solid, and he can change the surface texture of an object. Turning one element into another, however, is difficult as it relies on a knowledge of chemistry he doesn't have. There are a few drawbacks to this ability, however. He has to be touching the object to change it, and the effect is temporary. His magic will fade eventually, and the object will, as best it can, return to its original state.

History: The Goldleaf family can trace their ancestry all the way back to the middle ages. A bloodline full of alchemists, their primary ambition was to complete something that could be called the holy grail of alchemy - a method to transform lead into gold. To cut a long story short, they failed. Whether through lack of skill, lack of knowledge, or lack of resources, they were always lacking in something. Partially due to this bad luck, the family were often labelled as liars and charlatans and they drifted through many countries over the years. Even through the many years that came and went, and all the towns and cities they inhabited, they never not forgot their wish. And with the magic boom of the 1950s they quietly worked to complete it. After untold centuries they finally completed their greatest desire; the art of transmutation. Emboldened by their success the family remerged into society, only to find that society had passed them long behind. Their history had never been particularly lucrative and their research had left them nearly penniless. Furthermore, the research they had bled themselves so much for, the art that their ancestors had waited so long to obtain, simply did not prove to be as useful as they thought it would be. As the public's opinions on meta humans began to worsen, the head of the family decided that enough was enough. It was time to leave the past in the past and focus on the future.

And so, Anthony Goldleaf decided to forgo magic entirely. He married into money and used the money to start a business, mining and selling rare metals. His son expanded their operations into a small empire. At the turn of the century his grandson shifted their focus to the future. They funded many up-and-coming electronics companies and provided materials for their computers. They merged with what would later become Bioforst Comp, and even as a small part of the greater whole, their returns were staggering. Their unprecedented success gave them connections all over the world and more wealth than they had ever dreamed of having. Ever looking forward, the current head of the family began to focus on nurturing a successor. They married with a like-minded entrepeneur and produced several children. A daughter, as clever as she was beautiful, who moved people like chess pieces. A son, bright and handsome, with Charisma that could move even the most stubborn of hearts. They also produced Mikael, who they have never been sure what to do with.

When compared to his siblings, Mikael was quite mediocre by all accounts. Reading, arithmetic, sports, music, looks, all avergae. Even worse, he seemed to have a fatal lack of ambition. Where his siblings did everything they could to get ahead, Mikael was simply content to let things pass him. He had one field of excellence, however, and that was magic. His father and his siblings had learnt the family's transmutation magic, of course, but it was treated as more of a formality. Mikael took to it quickly and devoured every resource he could find in the household. He was told that it wasn't particularly useful for them and that he should give it up, but he stuck with it. Whether it was useful or not was secondary to him, he was just glad to have something interesting to play with. Eventually, his family sent him to Anepool academy. He showed interest in magic so perhaps he would kindle his ambition in the magic school. A paper-thin excuse for sending him away, but a welcome one. Mikael nursed a quiet hope that, with some distance from his family, he'd find something interesting after all.

Name: Wilhelmina von Hessen 
Nicknames/Aliases: Billy, though her parents call her Mina. 
Home Location: South Minks
Age:17 
Grade:11 
Year of Attendance: 1(transferred this year) 

Gender Identity: Female
Race: Vampire 
Natural/Racial Abilities: 
 
Ki Psychometry: Given a sample of organic matter, Billy can feel trace ki left over from the material's owner. Once registered, she can feel the presence of the being in question, including its general location and distance(in relation to herself). 
This power can also be applied to those she has fed from, though unless she was paying particular attention when doing so, she might not remember exactly how their ki felt. 

Ki Channeling: A basic use of ki, by channeling her energy into particular parts of her body, she can strengthen them. Including enhancing her senses when necessary. 

Astral Self: A less basic use of ki, and something Billy has not encountered outside of herself. Billy can emit ki constructs from her body. Typically they take the shape of hands, but their exact shape and nature is limited only by her imagination and concentration(hands are the easiest, as she's used to controlling hands). The constructs are anchored to her spirit, and cannot leave her body. If severed, they will simply dissolve, and she can also dispel them at will. 
If something is capable of grabbing or latching onto them, however, they can be pulled away from her. This takes a great deal of her ki away all at once, and hurts tremendously. 

Height: 5’2
Hair Color: Black(naturally blonde, but dyed) 
Eye Color: Varies(naturally blue, but she often wears colored contacts, a red cat-eye is her favorite)
Distinguishing Features: Unusual (and often changing) eyes, but if she has no contacts in, her prominent canines.  

Appearance: A somewhat slight girl, she has short dyed black hair, and wild eyes. She’s often smiling, and has the long “fangs” that are common among vampires. Billy usually dresses in a goth/punk manner(some days more than others). 

Personality: Though she's just getting out of a post-breakup funk, under usual circumstances she is surprisingly friendly, given her appearance and demeanor. 
Billy is generous, she’s the type to buy you tickets to a concert to make sure that you get a chance to go(and to make sure that she doesn’t go alone).  She makes friends quickly, and is often quite persistent about keeping in touch.  
She refuses to be stepped on, and sometimes this makes her come off either rude or aggressive, and she doesn’t like to see others victimized either.  She’s a fierce friend, but if you betray her it’s almost impossible to get back in her good books.  

Aspirations: She genuinely doesn’t know right now. 
Fears: Being alone

Strengths: 
~ Strong Willed
~ Tough to fool 

Weaknesses/Flaws: 
~ Can be stubborn 
~ Acts rashly

Magic Type: Ki
Magical Focus: Expanding her Ki focus, to allow for greater versatility and power. She would really like to be able to fly. 

History:  Von Hessen is an old family of aristocrats from Germany, and it is also a high end hair salon in South Minks. Though the latter is much more relevant to Billy, she does have a distant relation to royalty. The von Hessen hair salon, however, is owned and operated by her father, Wilhelm von Hessen(for whom she is named). 

Billy's great-grandfather fled Germany. A vampire in a time when meta-humans were all but unknown, he feared discovery and experimentation under Nazi rule. In America, he set up a knife making company, which grew to some success. Over the years it expanded into other bladed instruments, including hair cutting shears. 

Billy's father, in turn leveraged the name to carve out a niche in the artistic world of hair cutting. Unlike his own father and grandfather, Wilhelm did not need to contend with discrimination against him for his being a vampire(at least, not on the same level); in fact, it seemed to give him a kind of glamour that helped spread his work both in Anepool and across the web. 

He named his daughter after himself, though he and his wife Isabel call her Mina for short. She didn't adopt the nickname 'Billy' until she was older. She grew up as one might expect; unusually well groomed for a child,  nice clothes, a smart phone at way too young of an age. For a lot of her childhood she was dressed like a pretty preppy princess. 
Both her current look and her preferred name came from a girl she met in Freshman year of high school. Georgina, who goes by Georgie, originally bonded with Billy because they both had unusual names, but the two took to each other very quickly. Before long they were dating, and as cute as the pretty pink princess was next to her goth girlfriend, soon Billy shaved off her hair, and started dressing more alternative. Billy thought her dad would be mad, but he mostly expressed regret that she didn't ask him to cut her hair. 

Georgie was the first person outside of family that Billy fed off of. It happened at homecoming of Sophomore year, and Billy's parents were ecstatic. Georgie's were horrified. They had already been unhappy with everything from their daughter's look to her sexuality, but letting this monster drink from her precious soul? That was unthinkable. 

Georgie was shipped off to some boarding school in Utah, and Billy was alone and devastated. 

Anepool Academy had actually already accepted Billy; her father had applied on her behalf when she left middle school, but Billy had declined in favor of sticking with her friends. Though she still has friends at her old school, the thought of going back without Georgie gave her the depression. Saying that she simply wanted to be around people who were more like herself, she finally agreed to attend in her Junior year. 

Anything else?
Wilhelm von Hessen is a celebrity in the cosmetology world(though not particularly well known otherwise) and is moderately wealthy. As a result, Billy has a healthy allowance, and his old sports car. 

Her grandfather once told her that she was forty-third in line for the Prussian throne. She doesn't know if this is true, or if the line of succession has changed since then. 

Though she's only dated one girl, she is bisexual.

Name
Eri Ikehara

Nicknames/Aliases
Her childhood nickname was Ike growing up. Her family also refer to her as one of the Ikehara's " Cursed Children" 

Home Location:
Tsu, Mie Prefecture, Japan

Age:
14

Grade:
9th Grade

Year of Attendance:
1rst Year of Attendance

Gender Identity:
Cis Female

Race:
Cursed Human
 
Natural/Racial Abilities:
While she is a regular human being, the curse that has been bestowed upon her by an ancient Oni altered some of her natural abilities. While she doesn't have any substantial increased strength, the curse has forced her body to be in peak shape, naturally having the strength and dexterity that could be compared to that of a teen Olympian. Her natural healing capabilities are slightly elevated. Cuts, bruises and sicknesses such as Colds/Flu's that took days to heal from, Now only a took a couple of hours, while more intense injuries and ailments take days, the worst of course taking a while for recovery. Her durability fall close in power level to her strength, not being incredibly durable by any means, she is capable of taking quite a few punches.

She also does have a natural inclination for combat arts, both with and without weapons. The curse makes sure it's host is capable of learning and exceling at the art of fighting. Her ability to pick up martial art techniques, specifically with that of combat methods with bladed weapons was frightening. Though to her, the weapons just seem to make sense in her hand and it was as though she already knew the techniques before having them taught to her.

The biggest increase to her natural abilities however, would be her speed and agility. She is incredibly gifted in acrobatics and balance, knowing how to push her body to the extreme and testing her limits. Because of this, she is a natural at free running/parkour, as well as climbing, specifically free climbing. Her speed is most certainly her most unique natural ability. Not being fast enough to compare to a speedster, she is well past the speed of a human, capable of recorded speeds up to 30 mph when straining herself. She is probably capable of higher speeds but has not been interested nor challenged yet to push past her current limit. A special factor about the curse's "gifts", is that the abilities will constantly increase the more she trains and uses them, behaving like muscles almost. The more work and effort she puts into bettering her natural ability, the better they become.

At the end of the day however, she is a human first, so she can be killed by the typical standards and has similar weaknesses, just more resistant than the average person. 

Height:
1.65 m (5'5 ft) 

Hair Color:
Blue

Eye Color:
Red

Distinguishing Features:
She has a couple separate distinct features, the first being her eyes. A borderline bright red, Her slit shaped irises, similar to a cats, was a symptom of her curse. She's been told that her eyes make her face intense and wild, as if she were attempting to stare through whatever was unfortunate enough to catch her gaze. They also appeared to have purple specs within the pools of red, that would create an almost glitter like effect when hit by the light. Her eyes also are slightly larger then the average, making direct eye contact with her sometimes overwhelming. Her next feature would be her hair, a beautiful sky blue, her hair color and eyes were a trait every first born of her family had. It would be medium in length, passing her shoulders and seemingly thick and naturally straight. She also sported messy bangs, long enough to be able to hide her eyes away from any onlookers. The two together gave her a very mysterious and sometimes angry appearance. 

The last feature, and probably her most blatant feature is the marking on her right hand. While it appeared similar in texture and appearance to that of a hand tattoo, it was a birthmark. Her family had come to call it the "Branding of Shuten-dōji" the marking every first born received to indicate he/she was Cursed with the Oni's power. If stared at for long by an onlooker, the birthmark seemed to move just ever so slightly and dude glow red when she uses her power.

Appearance:
Eri has what could only be described as a wiry frame, small in stature, she had long flowing arms and legs. The Ikehara Clan held all standards, body, health and hygiene, for their first born children to an almost unachievable level with no exception. Her posture was eloquent and proper, years of constant punishment for slouching or bad posture in meditation leaving a permanent mental scar. She also had learn to seem invisible when needed, or prideful and boastful when she needed, though she tended to attempt to make herself seem small and invisible as to not draw attention to herself. She did have a somewhat toned body, a result of both the Ikehara Clan and the curse she was born with. She's also a runner, using it as the only time she could really have to herself when she was living on the Ikehara Family Compound, so she prides herself on fitness and keeping her body in peak shape. She also has been training in a couple different martial arts almost religiously since she was 7, so her body does have definition. Someone very lucky would find a very shocking sight when compared to her stature and personality.

Personality:
Eri is a very puzzling human being, who like a cake has many layers within herself. At a young age, prior to her and her family becoming aware of her powers, she was bright and bubbly soul. She had been known in family and friend's circle, as the shining star of the Ikehara family. She seemed to be the type with an obvious path towards the entertainment industry. She was always seen smiling and laughing, her laughing being the type that seemed infectious. Her piercing and wonderful eyes always "seemed so full of wonder" her mother would say to others. And in truth they were, Eri always curious about the world around her and how it worked. While people around her growing up would have pegged her for the entertainment type, she was more interested in STEM. The random and unpredictability of nature was something that mystified the child. Dead set on becoming a scientist of some sort, she became increasingly more interested in school as she began kindergarten.

And she would excel, her wonder and excitement showing through in her efforts for school. She would have been well on the track to an accelerated school path, however all of this wonder, brightness and success she had, would quickly be ripped away when she at the age of 7. After activating her powers while playing with a knife, she became scared of what she was capable of, as did her family. What was once fun and wonder, had turned into hatred and fear, her parents pulling her out of school after seeking advice from the family elders. She would be taught by the elders of Ikehara, who were all holders of of the curse. While on the outside this would seem to be regular homeschooling, every first born upon manifesting their curse's power, would be recruited into the prolific Clan's secret. Trained to one day become warriors for the Ikehara, ninja and samurai who donned the "Branding of Shuten-dōji". No more was she allowed to be happy, or excited, no longer allowed to be the bright and cheery soul she was born as. She would have to become quiet and refined, "invisible" to an onlooker. She would become the perfect warrior that the Curse would allow her to become.

After she started her training, she wasn't allowed to have any contact outside of her family, and so she became somewhat emotionally stunted. She was never to have any emotion in front of her elders, everyday she would have to hide her feelings, burying them deep down into her psyche. While not every first born Ikehara was broken from the training, Eri was not fortunate to be included with this lot. Their methods of training and homeschooling made her a fierce and cunning child. What was once exceling at schoolwork, was now exceling at combat. She was forced to learn to be resourceful, distrusting, mysterious and even wary of everyone who wasn't her family. Though the learning was more akin to brain washing, breaking the once bright and cheery girl, into an emotionless battle ready warrior, ready to sacrifice for the greater good of the Ikehara Clan. She will always want to be bright and bubbly again, but the hold that the Ikehara Clan has on her makes her more likely to stay incredibly introverted and to herself.

Aspirations:
With this new opportunity at a new life, free to learn and do what she wants, she wants nothing more than to change the status quo that the Ikehara's first borns are thrusted into. This is the one thing her mother begged for her to change, when she was leaving Japan with her father's help. Her family weighs heavily on her shoulders as she was on track to become an elder. Though she does have wants outside of fixing her family. She wants to learn what it means to have emotions again, to want to learn new things not because it's what the Ikehara wanted of her, but because she wants to learn them herself. She misses the now blurry and faded memories of her early childhood, when she aspired to be a scientist. She wants to discover the world with her own eyes, not through focused lens of the Ikehara clan. Though above all else, she wants to become stronger not just to protect herself and her immediate family, but to be able to ensure no one will ever again exploit or overpower the girl.

Fears:
-Her family, more specifically the Elders and Older Cousins
-Becoming nothing more than emotionless husk
-To never be able be more than what she was taught to think of herself as
-The capabilities of her curse

P O W E R  I N F O R M A T I O N

Strengths:
-Above Average Proficiency in hand to hand combat
-Extremely Proficient in Bladed combat (Knives, Swords, Axes, etc)
-Above Average Speed, Strength and Healing Ability
-Extremely Agile and Nimble
-Specializes in infiltration and Combat
-Extremely capable Human Box Cutter 

Weaknesses/Flaws:
-Only a cursed human, so susceptible to typical human things
-She has an extreme fear of her family through psychological manipulation
-While she is capable of taking a beating, she is not incredibly durable
-Wounds from to knives, bullets, extreme temperatures, etc, can kill her if a major wound.
-She currently does not have a means of mid-long range combat
-Without a bladed weapon, she is just a human who is fast and slightly stronger then the average human being

Magic Type:
Personal

Magical Focus:
"The Never Dulling Blade of Shuten-dōji" - while magical in nature, this curse does have some unique qualities compared to the average Personal Magic Type. Given to every first born of their respective familial branch, the Ikehara Clan's ancestors, one of the first Ninja Clans of Feudal Japan, made a deal with a powerful Oni in order to achieve great power. While it was sold to the Ikehara as a blessing, in truth the curse was only a means for Shuten-dōji to attempt to find the perfect avatar. Given a tattoo-esque birthmark at random on their bodies, the first born would be destined to become a solider for the Ikehara Clan's family Ninja, and many years later, Samurai. Giving them one of the many abilities Shuten-dōji had, it is a roulette of sorts. 

Eri's Curse allows her the ability to cut anything, with any bladed weapon. Meaning she is capable of cutting a steel door in half with a butter knife as an example. Any blade she touches, will be branded with the same birthmark that stains her hand. Though the mark will remove itself once leaving her hands, she can use the hands of someone else, an example being, guiding ones hands while cutting into a wall. However this is a more upper level example of what her ability is capable of. Using an example to explain how the power works a bit more, if she were in a situation in which she would have to cut a piece of metal only, that sat on a wood table, it would require some focus. Meaning if she were to become distracted or lose her focus, she would cut not only the metal, but the table and if deep enough, the floor as well. As it stands now, she must use a bladed weapon, such as the Tanto she is seen with at all times, or weapon made for combat (i.e Katana, War Axe, combat Knives). 

The Curse also has some baseline properties given to every holder of the magical ability. These being above average speed, slightly above average strength and healing abilities. It also makes learning combat techniques and abilities much easier, being able to pick up what would normally take years in a matter of months. The curse ensures above all else, that the host in peak shape and health and a suitable host, if in the event they become a suitable match for Shuten-dōji's Avatar.

Anything else?
-If She were to have a battle theme or general theme, this would be the song/vibe.
-She likes music, and will often be seen wearing ear buds, as it was her way of tuning out the world when she was homeschooled. (She specifically loves fusion/bebop jazz) 
-The idea of loving anyone scares the fuck out of her, so she's in a gray area with her feelings toward any type of relationships.
H i s t o r y  o f  E r i  I k e h a r a

The life an Ikehara consisted of two paths, one being a rich bureaucrat, living in the high society of Japan's upper circles. Living in houses placed on compounds on the roofs of skyscrapers, going to secret parties full of the wealthy elite. You would never have to worry for a thing, and you would have access to any avenue. You wanted to be a high stakes player in the Japanese Stock Market? Done. You want to become a tech company able to rival those in the top 100? Easy. The path's were unlimited for the lucky Ikehara Clan members born after the First Child of their familial branch. For their family held within its circles, a secret so deep, it touched some of the very roots that snaked through the Japanese Government and Economy. The Ikehara was a clan whose existence was kept very close to the chest of Japan's high society, both politically and business wise.

The Ikehara Clan has been around since the days of Feudal Japan, a clan of farmers, turned to bandit ninjas after the local lord had their crops confiscated. They were a small fish in a fast ocean at first, knowing any attention from a big fish would mean the instant eradication of their Clan. But with no meaningful returns from their new avenue of business, they instead turned to a more mystical means of gaining more fortune and power. Climbing to the highest mountain tops in country side, they found themselves at a place only known as "The Pond". It was said a mysterious man lived deep within a cave, where a lush jungle and pond at the center laid inside, upon the tallest mountain in the region. The rumors of the man were said to be that of Sage capable of giving blessings to clans offering up something equal to what they were asking for. With nothing to lose, they came to the great sage, pleading to make their clan both successful and powerful enough to keep what was theirs. In turn, they would offer up every first born to be his acolyte, something the sage had never been offered before.

However what the Ikehara were blind too, was that the Sage was nothing more than a power Oni, one named Shuten-dōji. He had been sealed in the cave, by the very sage he was appearing to people as at the center of the pond. Making the deal with the Oni would yield instant results, as all of the current Ikehara Clan members at the time were given the "Branding of Shuten-dōji" a tattoo-esque scar that appeared in different places for each. They were all blessed with unique abilities the Oni was capable of. As would every first born of a new familiar branch, And in the matter of years, the Ikehara had become one of the nations greatest Clans, supply a spy network of ninja's all through Japan, and eventually supply Samurai for armies and the like. Surviving through many wars and conflicts, the Ikehara family would slowly begin to wipe any trace of their warriors, and instead replaced their family trade for bureaucracy.

This step would allow for the evolution of a Clan known for their seeming mystical warriors, to one of the richest and business-savy Clans in japan. It also allowed the family to survive through the many different emperor and eventually complete political changes Japan would face through it's history. While they were not the most powerful, or the most rich, they gave the argument for the Clan with the most influence for the many hundreds of years they've existed since meeting the Oni. This is a rough explanation of the Ikehara Clan's history and leads us the birth of Eri Ikehara, a "Cursed Child" of the Ikehara. Though her story is far from the normal within the clan. 

Born to a second son of the Ikehara Clan, Ryoto Ikehara, and a daughter of an effluent Japanese Tech Company CEO, Naiko Oyama, the two were bond together by an arraigned marriage. Though this didn't mean they didn't love each other, they weren't necessarily in love at first. Ryoto had no interest in having a child, painfully aware of what it would mean for the kid, while Naiko, who was in the dark of the Ikehara secret, one dream was to have children of her own. Through many years of abstaining from trying, Eri ended up as an unfortunate accident, a phrase she would become all to familiar with. Born a healthy baby girl, she of course was born with the marking of the family curse, as well as the signature blue hair and red eyes. However unlike most in the Clan's recent history, her powers didn't manifest immediately, and so she was allowed to live with her parents. Though her dad kept his distance from the girl, her mother cherished the beautiful little girl.

The mom would take her everywhere, spoil her rotten almost, and for the first years of her life, she was the perfect daughter. She was known to draw the attentions of parties with her beauty and pure joy and wonder. At a young age, she was always curious of the world around her. She would ask her mother what sometimes felt like thousands of questions in the day. And her mother always obliged, never growing impatient or tired of the girls questions, and Eri would say this is what caused her to want to be a scientist at the age of four. Her mothers unending support, and the constant compliments and love that her family and friends would give her, was sending her on a path of incredible success and wealth. But all of this would change one summer day when she was seven. After watching a martial arts movie for the first time, her mother finally lamenting and letting her and her siblings finally watch one, she was left to enjoy herself for the rest of the day. Sneaking a steak knife out in secret, Eri would playfully slash at the air, mocking the movements she had seen on the screen with surprising ease. Deciding her shadow opponent was no match for her, she turned her eyes on an old tree in their families garden. Said to be over a hundred years old, this tree had come to be one of Eri's favorite spots to come play. And so, looking at the tree and playing slashing around it, Eri went to slice into the Tree. Closing her eyes at the point of contact, the resistance she expected to feel, instead felt as if she had only slashed the air.

Opening her eyes, she was met with the alarming sight of a diagonal clean cut, as if it had been cut through with an enormous bandsaw. Immediately crying for cutting down one of her favorite places, she was crying so hard, she neglected to realize with the tree was coming down towards her. Out of seemingly no where, her father suddenly scooping her up and dived out of the way, as where she once stood was now a crater in the ground from the weight of the tree. Her father stood in disbelief at the sight of the tree, confused as to how it happened. Though once he saw the knife in his daughter's hand, he very quickly put it altogether. Grabbing the knife from her hand, he dragged the girl into her room and locked it behind her. Despite already crying and protesting, her father was now even more cold-hearted towards the girl. After an hour of no contact, she heard her parents talking outside her door. Though she was too young to understand what they were talking about, she could hear that her mother was furious, something that Eri had never heard from her before.

It was then that the house seemed to shake, as a helicopter landed in the garden of the house. Eri was unable to see out the window completely, so so she was unsure of who exactly it was. She heard what seemed like the whole house beginning to scurry around, something that happened only when an important guest would be coming. Then she felt it, as if there was something watching her in the shadows of the room. She experienced a full body shiver, and her body immediately was covered in goosebumps. Then the house seemed to fall silent, making her out her ear to the door. She was only able to make out the sound of a person walking with a cane. The slow tapping started faint at first, becoming louder with each tap. Stepping away from the door, her curse brand glowing as the tapping stopped in front of the door. "Open the door child." Her body moving involuntarily, her movements inhuman, as if she was simply a puppet on strings. Her body ached in pain beyond an unbearable amount, but was unable to utter a word, not even cry a single tear. Eri opened the door to be face to face with the oldest Elder of the Ikehara Clan. 

Masuyo Ikehara, said to be the greatest head of the Ikehara Clan's very long existence, was only small in stature. Any person who underestimated the tiny woman, would find a swift and almost always, tragic and horrific death in their not to distant future. She embodied the Ikehara Clan within the very fibers of her being. There was nothing more important in this world then the Clan's success, and there was no success without ruthlessness and power. Her 60 year's of being the head of the family, and before that 15 years of being the head of the Ikehara Clans warriors at the age of 20, left a prolific era of change for the Ikehara clan. Before, they were a part of high society, now they lead it, admired by the other clans. Not only ruthless, she had a brilliant academic mind, understanding science and technology was a new frontier for them to conquer. She even personally trained the First Born's on account of her Curse's power, "The Kings Will", a magical ability that allowed complete control over someone's body and mind. And this is why she was here, after quickly accessing what Eri's ability was, she whisked the child away without a second thought. Her parents unable to even say goodbye to her, she would from then on become a part of the First Borns ranks.

It was suffice to say that Eri would never be the same after the meeting with Masuyo. She was immediately taken to the Ikehara Clan's first estate, though it now looked like a small fortress compared to what it used to be. She would be stuck within its walls for seven long years. In this time, she was not spared one bit from the "homeschooling" of Masuyo, maybe even being pushed harder on account of starting her training at a later period then many of the others. Masuyo would give Eri private lessons, in which the child's identity and personality was slowly, maliciously, picked apart and rewired. Masuyo was disgusted with the little girl at first, making sure to never let the girls bright and wonderful personality come out in front of the old woman with her power. Masuyo started with the little girls mind, and once broken within the first couple months, reforging her so to speak into a cold and quiet person. Then when the old lady felt satisfied with the results, she would throw the child into the proverbial flames of sparring. Sufficiently getting her shit kicked in for months, Eri who had never fought, nor come close to any negative confrontation, was suddenly consistently bullied by the others. It didn't matter if she was a frail little girl, her more experienced cousins spared no sympathy for the girl and in a way it accelerated Eri's growth tenfold.

She refused to simply be broken by the Ikehara, and so she adapted. She would become the chameleon her elder wanted, a capable warrior who pushed through every obstacle placed in front of them. She trained harder, pushed herself further, it was almost as if a switch was flipped in her brain. What she would later come to realize as her psyche finally breaking under the pressure, Eri would quickly become ruthless, pushing her sparring partners to the limit after finally improving substantially in combat. This would transfer over into her other "studies" as well, what was once hatred, become dedication to the cause. Of course this was all artificial, a way for Eri to hide her true feelings and keep the heat off of her. Within the first two years of her new life, she would already catch up to the majority of her cousins. Masuyo was on record as saying Eri's growth was alarming and might need to be limited in order for her to not become too powerful before fully under her wing. The elder saw the potential for an Ikehara who could follow in her footsteps, if guided the proper way. And so, this would be Eri's norm. Eventually focusing her combat arts into a terrifying mix of Jujitsu, TKD, Ninjutsu (Japanese martial art of unconventional fighting) and Kenjutsu/Kendo. She also exhibited a knack for most bladed forms of combat, on account of her curse's ability. 

This would continue on for many years, up until her 13th birthday, to which a turning point had happened. Standing close to the top of the class at this point, Eri had become a force to reckon'd with, within the First-Borns of her generation. She was frighteningly ruthless, and with a nasty power to bat, whispers that Eri could potentially follow in the footsteps of Masuyo began to circulate first within the First-Borns, then within the clan. Eventually the Japanese Government caught wind of the talented child, and attempted to recruit the girl from Masuyo. Offering something to good to pass up, Eri was to be shipped out within the next year on her 14th birthday to a Japanese Military Black Site. By this point Eri had given up on trying to go against the status quo of her family. How could she ever stand up to Masuyo and the clan, hell she didn't even know if her parents cared for her anymore, as she hadn't seen them since the day Masuyo took her away to this hell. She resigned herself to the idea that this was really going to be her life forever. And so for a year, Eri was trained evenharder, to insure she would be ready for the Japanese Military. It was until the night before she were to leave, that her mother and father came to her in the night. They seemed to simply teleport in front of the child, Eri not even being able to recognize the two. They on the other hand, rushed the girl into a group hug, even her father tearing up at the sight of his now teenage daughter. They couldn't explain how or why they were there, just that they were going to save her from the reaches of the Ikehara, if only for a little while. 

They would explain that they had secured her a place to go to a school for people like her. She would be able to learn whatever she wanted, and be able to become whatever came to her. It was a ticket to freedom, a new chance at life, to be a kid again. Somewhere safe from the Ikehara's money and power. They told Eri they would teleport her to a dock on the Japanese coast, that would have a man who would smuggler her out of the country. Once free, she would be met at a dock on the west coast of America, where a school representative would be to pick her up and insure she made it to the school safely. With the sounds of the alarm suddenly blaring, her father took her face in his hands "Im sorry for distancing myself from you, I know nothing i say right now will fix it, but understand that I've done nothing but miss and worry about you since you've been gone. I love you my daughter" he said before teleporting away. An explosion rang out on the otherside of the compound, as Eri's mother took the childs hands and held them out. "I should have fought harder for you, we both should've. But we cant change what happened, only what will happen. We'll see you in a couple months once this all blows over and we can just...talk, okay? I would say i love you my little one, but you so big now. We promise to make it up to you okay?" Eri the whole while unable to speak. She had thought about what she would say to her parents for letting this happen to her. But now that they appeared infront of her, she was frozen. All she wanted was to cry in her mother chest, as so she did. Though for only a moment before more explosions closer to Eri's room rang out. "I'm sorry my baby, there's no more time left, take this and show it to the man fishing at the end of the dock. He'll be wearing a gray jacket and red fishermen ha-" her mother stopped and looked towards the door. A kick suddenly rang out against the door and her mother put her hand on Eri's head. Mouthing I love you, Eri was very disoriented as she was suddenly teleported to an undisclosed Dock in the city.

The rest essentially writes itself and now Eri will be enrolling for her first year of Anepool Academy. It has been an exceptionally rocky ride, as she was wired to not trust anyone after years of mental and physical abuse. Anepool helped with her rehabilitation, as a part of the deal her parents seemed to make for her, and while she was a couple of months out of from the school year, everyday was an intense challenge leading up to the start of the school year. She met with a therapist, who only after two months of listening to the woman talk did she open up. Really after finally be able to speak about her past to someone who wasn't her family, she was able to start the process of becoming a regular kid again. While she had never killed anyone, the environment she was in at the Ikehara Compound could only be described as hyperviolent. Telling someone lifted both a metaphorical and a mental barrier for Eri. And by the start of the school year, she was rehabilitated just enough to be able to participate in the school year. She is still most definitely a work in progress and everyday is another day further from the hell she came from. She is working hard everyday to try and retake her life back from the clutches of the Ikehara Clan.


^{____________________________________________________} _{C H A R A C T E R I N F O R M A T I O N} Name Eri Ikehara Nicknames/Aliases Her childhood nickname was Ike growing up. Her family also refer to her as one of the Ikehara's " Cursed Children" Home Location: Tsu, Mie Prefecture, Japan Age: 14 Grade: 9th Grade Year of Attendance: 1rst Year of Attendance Gender Identity: Cis Female Race: Cursed Human Natural/Racial Abilities: While she is a regular human being, the curse that has been bestowed upon her by an ancient Oni altered some of her natural abilities. While she doesn't have any substantial increased strength, the curse has forced her body to be in peak shape, naturally having the strength and dexterity that could be compared to that of a teen Olympian. Her natural healing capabilities are slightly elevated. Cuts, bruises and sicknesses such as Colds/Flu's that took days to heal from, Now only a took a couple of hours, while more intense injuries and ailments take days, the worst of course taking a while for recovery. Her durability fall close in power level to her strength, not being incredibly durable by any means, she is capable of taking quite a few punches. She also does have a natural inclination for combat arts, both with and without weapons. The curse makes sure it's host is capable of learning and exceling at the art of fighting. Her ability to pick up martial art techniques, specifically with that of combat methods with bladed weapons was frightening. Though to her, the weapons just seem to make sense in her hand and it was as though she already knew the techniques before having them taught to her. The biggest increase to her natural abilities however, would be her speed and agility. She is incredibly gifted in acrobatics and balance, knowing how to push her body to the extreme and testing her limits. Because of this, she is a natural at free running/parkour, as well as climbing, specifically free climbing. Her speed is most certainly her most unique natural ability. Not being fast enough to compare to a speedster, she is well past the speed of a human, capable of recorded speeds up to 30 mph when straining herself. She is probably capable of higher speeds but has not been interested nor challenged yet to push past her current limit. A special factor about the curse's "gifts", is that the abilities will constantly increase the more she trains and uses them, behaving like muscles almost. The more work and effort she puts into bettering her natural ability, the better they become. At the end of the day however, she is a human first, so she can be killed by the typical standards and has similar weaknesses, just more resistant than the average person. Height: 1.65 m (5'5 ft) Hair Color: Blue Eye Color: Red Distinguishing Features: She has a couple separate distinct features, the first being her eyes. A borderline bright red, Her slit shaped irises, similar to a cats, was a symptom of her curse. She's been told that her eyes make her face intense and wild, as if she were attempting to stare through whatever was unfortunate enough to catch her gaze. They also appeared to have purple specs within the pools of red, that would create an almost glitter like effect when hit by the light. Her eyes also are slightly larger then the average, making direct eye contact with her sometimes overwhelming. Her next feature would be her hair, a beautiful sky blue, her hair color and eyes were a trait every first born of her family had. It would be medium in length, passing her shoulders and seemingly thick and naturally straight. She also sported messy bangs, long enough to be able to hide her eyes away from any onlookers. The two together gave her a very mysterious and sometimes angry appearance. The last feature, and probably her most blatant feature is the marking on her right hand. While it appeared similar in texture and appearance to that of a hand tattoo, it was a birthmark. Her family had come to call it the "Branding of Shuten-dōji" the marking every first born received to indicate he/she was Cursed with the Oni's power. If stared at for long by an onlooker, the birthmark seemed to move just ever so slightly and dude glow red when she uses her power. Appearance: Eri has what could only be described as a wiry frame, small in stature, she had long flowing arms and legs. The Ikehara Clan held all standards, body, health and hygiene, for their first born children to an almost unachievable level with no exception. Her posture was eloquent and proper, years of constant punishment for slouching or bad posture in meditation leaving a permanent mental scar. She also had learn to seem invisible when needed, or prideful and boastful when she needed, though she tended to attempt to make herself seem small and invisible as to not draw attention to herself. She did have a somewhat toned body, a result of both the Ikehara Clan and the curse she was born with. She's also a runner, using it as the only time she could really have to herself when she was living on the Ikehara Family Compound, so she prides herself on fitness and keeping her body in peak shape. She also has been training in a couple different martial arts almost religiously since she was 7, so her body does have definition. Someone very lucky would find a very shocking sight when compared to her stature and personality. Personality: Eri is a very puzzling human being, who like a cake has many layers within herself. At a young age, prior to her and her family becoming aware of her powers, she was bright and bubbly soul. She had been known in family and friend's circle, as the shining star of the Ikehara family. She seemed to be the type with an obvious path towards the entertainment industry. She was always seen smiling and laughing, her laughing being the type that seemed infectious. Her piercing and wonderful eyes always "seemed so full of wonder" her mother would say to others. And in truth they were, Eri always curious about the world around her and how it worked. While people around her growing up would have pegged her for the entertainment type, she was more interested in STEM. The random and unpredictability of nature was something that mystified the child. Dead set on becoming a scientist of some sort, she became increasingly more interested in school as she began kindergarten. And she would excel, her wonder and excitement showing through in her efforts for school. She would have been well on the track to an accelerated school path, however all of this wonder, brightness and success she had, would quickly be ripped away when she at the age of 7. After activating her powers while playing with a knife, she became scared of what she was capable of, as did her family. What was once fun and wonder, had turned into hatred and fear, her parents pulling her out of school after seeking advice from the family elders. She would be taught by the elders of Ikehara, who were all holders of of the curse. While on the outside this would seem to be regular homeschooling, every first born upon manifesting their curse's power, would be recruited into the prolific Clan's secret. Trained to one day become warriors for the Ikehara, ninja and samurai who donned the "Branding of Shuten-dōji". No more was she allowed to be happy, or excited, no longer allowed to be the bright and cheery soul she was born as. She would have to become quiet and refined, "invisible" to an onlooker. She would become the perfect warrior that the Curse would allow her to become. After she started her training, she wasn't allowed to have any contact outside of her family, and so she became somewhat emotionally stunted. She was never to have any emotion in front of her elders, everyday she would have to hide her feelings, burying them deep down into her psyche. While not every first born Ikehara was broken from the training, Eri was not fortunate to be included with this lot. Their methods of training and homeschooling made her a fierce and cunning child. What was once exceling at schoolwork, was now exceling at combat. She was forced to learn to be resourceful, distrusting, mysterious and even wary of everyone who wasn't her family. Though the learning was more akin to brain washing, breaking the once bright and cheery girl, into an emotionless battle ready warrior, ready to sacrifice for the greater good of the Ikehara Clan. She will always want to be bright and bubbly again, but the hold that the Ikehara Clan has on her makes her more likely to stay incredibly introverted and to herself. Aspirations: With this new opportunity at a new life, free to learn and do what she wants, she wants nothing more than to change the status quo that the Ikehara's first borns are thrusted into. This is the one thing her mother begged for her to change, when she was leaving Japan with her father's help. Her family weighs heavily on her shoulders as she was on track to become an elder. Though she does have wants outside of fixing her family. She wants to learn what it means to have emotions again, to want to learn new things not because it's what the Ikehara wanted of her, but because she wants to learn them herself. She misses the now blurry and faded memories of her early childhood, when she aspired to be a scientist. She wants to discover the world with her own eyes, not through focused lens of the Ikehara clan. Though above all else, she wants to become stronger not just to protect herself and her immediate family, but to be able to ensure no one will ever again exploit or overpower the girl. Fears: -Her family, more specifically the Elders and Older Cousins -Becoming nothing more than emotionless husk -To never be able be more than what she was taught to think of herself as -The capabilities of her curse _{P O W E R I N F O R M A T I O N} Strengths: -Above Average Proficiency in hand to hand combat -Extremely Proficient in Bladed combat (Knives, Swords, Axes, etc) -Above Average Speed, Strength and Healing Ability -Extremely Agile and Nimble -Specializes in infiltration and Combat -Extremely capable Human Box Cutter Weaknesses/Flaws: -Only a cursed human, so susceptible to typical human things -She has an extreme fear of her family through psychological manipulation -While she is capable of taking a beating, she is not incredibly durable -Wounds from to knives, bullets, extreme temperatures, etc, can kill her if a major wound. -She currently does not have a means of mid-long range combat -Without a bladed weapon, she is just a human who is fast and slightly stronger then the average human being Magic Type: Personal Magical Focus: "The Never Dulling Blade of Shuten-dōji" - while magical in nature, this curse does have some unique qualities compared to the average Personal Magic Type. Given to every first born of their respective familial branch, the Ikehara Clan's ancestors, one of the first Ninja Clans of Feudal Japan, made a deal with a powerful Oni in order to achieve great power. While it was sold to the Ikehara as a blessing, in truth the curse was only a means for Shuten-dōji to attempt to find the perfect avatar. Given a tattoo-esque birthmark at random on their bodies, the first born would be destined to become a solider for the Ikehara Clan's family Ninja, and many years later, Samurai. Giving them one of the many abilities Shuten-dōji had, it is a roulette of sorts. Eri's Curse allows her the ability to cut anything, with any bladed weapon. Meaning she is capable of cutting a steel door in half with a butter knife as an example. Any blade she touches, will be branded with the same birthmark that stains her hand. Though the mark will remove itself once leaving her hands, she can use the hands of someone else, an example being, guiding ones hands while cutting into a wall. However this is a more upper level example of what her ability is capable of. Using an example to explain how the power works a bit more, if she were in a situation in which she would have to cut a piece of metal only, that sat on a wood table, it would require some focus. Meaning if she were to become distracted or lose her focus, she would cut not only the metal, but the table and if deep enough, the floor as well. As it stands now, she must use a bladed weapon, such as the Tanto she is seen with at all times, or weapon made for combat (i.e Katana, War Axe, combat Knives). The Curse also has some baseline properties given to every holder of the magical ability. These being above average speed, slightly above average strength and healing abilities. It also makes learning combat techniques and abilities much easier, being able to pick up what would normally take years in a matter of months. The curse ensures above all else, that the host in peak shape and health and a suitable host, if in the event they become a suitable match for Shuten-dōji's Avatar. Anything else? -If She were to have a battle theme or general theme, this would be the song/vibe. -She likes music, and will often be seen wearing ear buds, as it was her way of tuning out the world when she was homeschooled. (She specifically loves fusion/bebop jazz) -The idea of loving anyone scares the fuck out of her, so she's in a gray area with her feelings toward any type of relationships.	_{H i s t o r y o f E r i I k e h a r a} The life an Ikehara consisted of two paths, one being a rich bureaucrat, living in the high society of Japan's upper circles. Living in houses placed on compounds on the roofs of skyscrapers, going to secret parties full of the wealthy elite. You would never have to worry for a thing, and you would have access to any avenue. You wanted to be a high stakes player in the Japanese Stock Market? Done. You want to become a tech company able to rival those in the top 100? Easy. The path's were unlimited for the lucky Ikehara Clan members born after the First Child of their familial branch. For their family held within its circles, a secret so deep, it touched some of the very roots that snaked through the Japanese Government and Economy. The Ikehara was a clan whose existence was kept very close to the chest of Japan's high society, both politically and business wise. The Ikehara Clan has been around since the days of Feudal Japan, a clan of farmers, turned to bandit ninjas after the local lord had their crops confiscated. They were a small fish in a fast ocean at first, knowing any attention from a big fish would mean the instant eradication of their Clan. But with no meaningful returns from their new avenue of business, they instead turned to a more mystical means of gaining more fortune and power. Climbing to the highest mountain tops in country side, they found themselves at a place only known as "The Pond". It was said a mysterious man lived deep within a cave, where a lush jungle and pond at the center laid inside, upon the tallest mountain in the region. The rumors of the man were said to be that of Sage capable of giving blessings to clans offering up something equal to what they were asking for. With nothing to lose, they came to the great sage, pleading to make their clan both successful and powerful enough to keep what was theirs. In turn, they would offer up every first born to be his acolyte, something the sage had never been offered before. However what the Ikehara were blind too, was that the Sage was nothing more than a power Oni, one named Shuten-dōji. He had been sealed in the cave, by the very sage he was appearing to people as at the center of the pond. Making the deal with the Oni would yield instant results, as all of the current Ikehara Clan members at the time were given the "Branding of Shuten-dōji" a tattoo-esque scar that appeared in different places for each. They were all blessed with unique abilities the Oni was capable of. As would every first born of a new familiar branch, And in the matter of years, the Ikehara had become one of the nations greatest Clans, supply a spy network of ninja's all through Japan, and eventually supply Samurai for armies and the like. Surviving through many wars and conflicts, the Ikehara family would slowly begin to wipe any trace of their warriors, and instead replaced their family trade for bureaucracy. This step would allow for the evolution of a Clan known for their seeming mystical warriors, to one of the richest and business-savy Clans in japan. It also allowed the family to survive through the many different emperor and eventually complete political changes Japan would face through it's history. While they were not the most powerful, or the most rich, they gave the argument for the Clan with the most influence for the many hundreds of years they've existed since meeting the Oni. This is a rough explanation of the Ikehara Clan's history and leads us the birth of Eri Ikehara, a "Cursed Child" of the Ikehara. Though her story is far from the normal within the clan. Born to a second son of the Ikehara Clan, Ryoto Ikehara, and a daughter of an effluent Japanese Tech Company CEO, Naiko Oyama, the two were bond together by an arraigned marriage. Though this didn't mean they didn't love each other, they weren't necessarily in love at first. Ryoto had no interest in having a child, painfully aware of what it would mean for the kid, while Naiko, who was in the dark of the Ikehara secret, one dream was to have children of her own. Through many years of abstaining from trying, Eri ended up as an unfortunate accident, a phrase she would become all to familiar with. Born a healthy baby girl, she of course was born with the marking of the family curse, as well as the signature blue hair and red eyes. However unlike most in the Clan's recent history, her powers didn't manifest immediately, and so she was allowed to live with her parents. Though her dad kept his distance from the girl, her mother cherished the beautiful little girl. The mom would take her everywhere, spoil her rotten almost, and for the first years of her life, she was the perfect daughter. She was known to draw the attentions of parties with her beauty and pure joy and wonder. At a young age, she was always curious of the world around her. She would ask her mother what sometimes felt like thousands of questions in the day. And her mother always obliged, never growing impatient or tired of the girls questions, and Eri would say this is what caused her to want to be a scientist at the age of four. Her mothers unending support, and the constant compliments and love that her family and friends would give her, was sending her on a path of incredible success and wealth. But all of this would change one summer day when she was seven. After watching a martial arts movie for the first time, her mother finally lamenting and letting her and her siblings finally watch one, she was left to enjoy herself for the rest of the day. Sneaking a steak knife out in secret, Eri would playfully slash at the air, mocking the movements she had seen on the screen with surprising ease. Deciding her shadow opponent was no match for her, she turned her eyes on an old tree in their families garden. Said to be over a hundred years old, this tree had come to be one of Eri's favorite spots to come play. And so, looking at the tree and playing slashing around it, Eri went to slice into the Tree. Closing her eyes at the point of contact, the resistance she expected to feel, instead felt as if she had only slashed the air. Opening her eyes, she was met with the alarming sight of a diagonal clean cut, as if it had been cut through with an enormous bandsaw. Immediately crying for cutting down one of her favorite places, she was crying so hard, she neglected to realize with the tree was coming down towards her. Out of seemingly no where, her father suddenly scooping her up and dived out of the way, as where she once stood was now a crater in the ground from the weight of the tree. Her father stood in disbelief at the sight of the tree, confused as to how it happened. Though once he saw the knife in his daughter's hand, he very quickly put it altogether. Grabbing the knife from her hand, he dragged the girl into her room and locked it behind her. Despite already crying and protesting, her father was now even more cold-hearted towards the girl. After an hour of no contact, she heard her parents talking outside her door. Though she was too young to understand what they were talking about, she could hear that her mother was furious, something that Eri had never heard from her before. It was then that the house seemed to shake, as a helicopter landed in the garden of the house. Eri was unable to see out the window completely, so so she was unsure of who exactly it was. She heard what seemed like the whole house beginning to scurry around, something that happened only when an important guest would be coming. Then she felt it, as if there was something watching her in the shadows of the room. She experienced a full body shiver, and her body immediately was covered in goosebumps. Then the house seemed to fall silent, making her out her ear to the door. She was only able to make out the sound of a person walking with a cane. The slow tapping started faint at first, becoming louder with each tap. Stepping away from the door, her curse brand glowing as the tapping stopped in front of the door. "Open the door child." Her body moving involuntarily, her movements inhuman, as if she was simply a puppet on strings. Her body ached in pain beyond an unbearable amount, but was unable to utter a word, not even cry a single tear. Eri opened the door to be face to face with the oldest Elder of the Ikehara Clan. Masuyo Ikehara, said to be the greatest head of the Ikehara Clan's very long existence, was only small in stature. Any person who underestimated the tiny woman, would find a swift and almost always, tragic and horrific death in their not to distant future. She embodied the Ikehara Clan within the very fibers of her being. There was nothing more important in this world then the Clan's success, and there was no success without ruthlessness and power. Her 60 year's of being the head of the family, and before that 15 years of being the head of the Ikehara Clans warriors at the age of 20, left a prolific era of change for the Ikehara clan. Before, they were a part of high society, now they lead it, admired by the other clans. Not only ruthless, she had a brilliant academic mind, understanding science and technology was a new frontier for them to conquer. She even personally trained the First Born's on account of her Curse's power, "The Kings Will", a magical ability that allowed complete control over someone's body and mind. And this is why she was here, after quickly accessing what Eri's ability was, she whisked the child away without a second thought. Her parents unable to even say goodbye to her, she would from then on become a part of the First Borns ranks. It was suffice to say that Eri would never be the same after the meeting with Masuyo. She was immediately taken to the Ikehara Clan's first estate, though it now looked like a small fortress compared to what it used to be. She would be stuck within its walls for seven long years. In this time, she was not spared one bit from the "homeschooling" of Masuyo, maybe even being pushed harder on account of starting her training at a later period then many of the others. Masuyo would give Eri private lessons, in which the child's identity and personality was slowly, maliciously, picked apart and rewired. Masuyo was disgusted with the little girl at first, making sure to never let the girls bright and wonderful personality come out in front of the old woman with her power. Masuyo started with the little girls mind, and once broken within the first couple months, reforging her so to speak into a cold and quiet person. Then when the old lady felt satisfied with the results, she would throw the child into the proverbial flames of sparring. Sufficiently getting her shit kicked in for months, Eri who had never fought, nor come close to any negative confrontation, was suddenly consistently bullied by the others. It didn't matter if she was a frail little girl, her more experienced cousins spared no sympathy for the girl and in a way it accelerated Eri's growth tenfold. She refused to simply be broken by the Ikehara, and so she adapted. She would become the chameleon her elder wanted, a capable warrior who pushed through every obstacle placed in front of them. She trained harder, pushed herself further, it was almost as if a switch was flipped in her brain. What she would later come to realize as her psyche finally breaking under the pressure, Eri would quickly become ruthless, pushing her sparring partners to the limit after finally improving substantially in combat. This would transfer over into her other "studies" as well, what was once hatred, become dedication to the cause. Of course this was all artificial, a way for Eri to hide her true feelings and keep the heat off of her. Within the first two years of her new life, she would already catch up to the majority of her cousins. Masuyo was on record as saying Eri's growth was alarming and might need to be limited in order for her to not become too powerful before fully under her wing. The elder saw the potential for an Ikehara who could follow in her footsteps, if guided the proper way. And so, this would be Eri's norm. Eventually focusing her combat arts into a terrifying mix of Jujitsu, TKD, Ninjutsu (Japanese martial art of unconventional fighting) and Kenjutsu/Kendo. She also exhibited a knack for most bladed forms of combat, on account of her curse's ability. This would continue on for many years, up until her 13th birthday, to which a turning point had happened. Standing close to the top of the class at this point, Eri had become a force to reckon'd with, within the First-Borns of her generation. She was frighteningly ruthless, and with a nasty power to bat, whispers that Eri could potentially follow in the footsteps of Masuyo began to circulate first within the First-Borns, then within the clan. Eventually the Japanese Government caught wind of the talented child, and attempted to recruit the girl from Masuyo. Offering something to good to pass up, Eri was to be shipped out within the next year on her 14th birthday to a Japanese Military Black Site. By this point Eri had given up on trying to go against the status quo of her family. How could she ever stand up to Masuyo and the clan, hell she didn't even know if her parents cared for her anymore, as she hadn't seen them since the day Masuyo took her away to this hell. She resigned herself to the idea that this was really going to be her life forever. And so for a year, Eri was trained evenharder, to insure she would be ready for the Japanese Military. It was until the night before she were to leave, that her mother and father came to her in the night. They seemed to simply teleport in front of the child, Eri not even being able to recognize the two. They on the other hand, rushed the girl into a group hug, even her father tearing up at the sight of his now teenage daughter. They couldn't explain how or why they were there, just that they were going to save her from the reaches of the Ikehara, if only for a little while. They would explain that they had secured her a place to go to a school for people like her. She would be able to learn whatever she wanted, and be able to become whatever came to her. It was a ticket to freedom, a new chance at life, to be a kid again. Somewhere safe from the Ikehara's money and power. They told Eri they would teleport her to a dock on the Japanese coast, that would have a man who would smuggler her out of the country. Once free, she would be met at a dock on the west coast of America, where a school representative would be to pick her up and insure she made it to the school safely. With the sounds of the alarm suddenly blaring, her father took her face in his hands "Im sorry for distancing myself from you, I know nothing i say right now will fix it, but understand that I've done nothing but miss and worry about you since you've been gone. I love you my daughter" he said before teleporting away. An explosion rang out on the otherside of the compound, as Eri's mother took the childs hands and held them out. "I should have fought harder for you, we both should've. But we cant change what happened, only what will happen. We'll see you in a couple months once this all blows over and we can just...talk, okay? I would say i love you my little one, but you so big now. We promise to make it up to you okay?" Eri the whole while unable to speak. She had thought about what she would say to her parents for letting this happen to her. But now that they appeared infront of her, she was frozen. All she wanted was to cry in her mother chest, as so she did. Though for only a moment before more explosions closer to Eri's room rang out. "I'm sorry my baby, there's no more time left, take this and show it to the man fishing at the end of the dock. He'll be wearing a gray jacket and red fishermen ha-" her mother stopped and looked towards the door. A kick suddenly rang out against the door and her mother put her hand on Eri's head. Mouthing I love you, Eri was very disoriented as she was suddenly teleported to an undisclosed Dock in the city. The rest essentially writes itself and now Eri will be enrolling for her first year of Anepool Academy. It has been an exceptionally rocky ride, as she was wired to not trust anyone after years of mental and physical abuse. Anepool helped with her rehabilitation, as a part of the deal her parents seemed to make for her, and while she was a couple of months out of from the school year, everyday was an intense challenge leading up to the start of the school year. She met with a therapist, who only after two months of listening to the woman talk did she open up. Really after finally be able to speak about her past to someone who wasn't her family, she was able to start the process of becoming a regular kid again. While she had never killed anyone, the environment she was in at the Ikehara Compound could only be described as hyperviolent. Telling someone lifted both a metaphorical and a mental barrier for Eri. And by the start of the school year, she was rehabilitated just enough to be able to participate in the school year. She is still most definitely a work in progress and everyday is another day further from the hell she came from. She is working hard everyday to try and retake her life back from the clutches of the Ikehara Clan.

Home Location: South Minks
Age: 18
Grade: 12

Height: 5'7" (170cm)
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Amber by default
Distinguishing Features: His eye color changes depending on his emotional state.
Appearance: Sol stands slightly shorter than average height for a man at 5'7". He has long, black hair that's usually tied back in a ponytail. His skin is on the fairer side and he has a lean, toned physique. His most striking feature are his amber eyes, which change depending on his emotional state. In order from a depressive state to an emotionally charged state: black, red, amber (default), yellow, white, blue. He wears a red jacket with black trim, a black hoodie underneath, and blue jeans with black boots. He wears a necklace with a crescent moon that pairs with his girlfriend's necklace.

Personality: In a word, Sol isn't an excitable person. He's a very calm, level-headed individual that thinks before he acts, carefully weighing his options before choosing the most optimal choice. He's the type of person who is at his happiest (excluding being with his girlfriend) with a good book or an opportunity to practice music or artwork. While it takes a lot to upset Sol, it isn't impossible and in the rare instances it happens, things tend to catch fire, which is something Sol desperately wants to fix.
Aspirations: To master his power and make it through school without burning anything down by accident.
Fears: His biggest fear is losing control of his power and hurting someone again, especially his girlfriend.

Strengths: Intelligent, pseudo-flight with his pyrokinesis, skilled with the violin
Weaknesses/Flaws: Has a tendency to overthink, loses control of his power if he gets too upset, might seem cold to some people

Magic Type: Natural: Innate Pyrokinesis. Sol can produce and manipulate flames to a varying degree. The strength of his powers varies with his emotional state, his lowest producing only smoke. On the opposite side of the spectrum, when he feels something like rage or another powerful emotion, he's capable of creating his hottest flames: the nearly impossible to control blue flames.
Magical Focus: Sol wants to learn to control his abilities at their most powerful. As it stands, he has complete mastery over his flames up to the yellow stage. White flames are difficult to control, but manageable, while his cobalt flames are all but impossible to keep a handle on.

History: Sol grew up comfortably. His family was rather middle of the road: not too rich, not too poor. They were able to afford everything they needed to get by, along with a few luxuries, such as Sol's beloved violin. Sol's parents, alumni from Anepool Academy, had a somewhat successful restaurant, in which Sol had discovered a passion for cooking, in addition to his love of music. Life was good for the Luminos family and Sol was happy.

One day, Sol and his family had to go into North Minks to visit Sol's uncle and aunt. They had parked at a red light when he noticed a young girl about his age walking down the street. While he was young, only about twelve, he understood enough to know that North Minks could be dangerous for anyone, including children, so he mentioned it to his parents. They turned around to offer her a ride, only for hell to break loose in the form of a minor extra-dimensional incursion.

A creature had appeared from a rift in space and began to wreak havoc. Sol's parents jumped out of the car after making him promise to stay inside and ran off to help, using their magic to keep the creature at bay until help could arrive. The entire time, Sol was focused on the young girl as she tripped while trying to get away, whom he noticed seemed to have animal ears on her head in addition to a tail, both of which matched her white hair. Then...she looked at him. Sol could see the silent plea for help in her eyes and, before he could stop himself, he was out of the car and running to her. He had just reached her and was helping her to her feet when the creature took notice of them and charged.

As the creature charged, Sol suddenly found himself filled with intense rage as his eyes shifted to a startling blue. How dare this creature appear and ruin his day with his family? How dare it cause so much damage? And how dare it try to hurt this girl? He let out a yell as azure flames leapt to life all around him. They grew in intensity until a cobalt inferno raged around him. The creature suddenly stopped and backed off, sensing the danger of the flames that crackled around Sol. The young boy, not knowing what else to do or how to get the flames to do his bidding, decided to try to keep the fire going as long as he could...until he heard the girl scream.

He turned and saw her scrabbling for her back, which had caught fire. Horror replaced Sol's rage and the flames died almost instantly as he staggered over to the girl, suddenly exhausted. The creature, now that the danger had passed, began to approach once more, only to quickly be brought down by the authorities. What happened next, Sol wouldn't be able to remember as he passed out.

After he awoke, his first thoughts were of that girl. After learning she had been admitted to the hospital, he practically begged his parents to let him see her. When he saw her laying on her stomach in the hospital bed, bandages wrapped around her torso, he couldn't help but cry, distraught over having harmed the girl. However, rather than be angry at Sol for being the reason why she got hurt, she was nothing but thankful, as were her parents. "I can live with a burn if it means I get to live at all," the girl had said.

From there, one visit became two, then three, then many more after she had been released from the hospital. Years passed, during which the girl had discovered her power to control ice, and the two of them were admitted to Anepool Academy. They became friends for a time, then began dating, and as their last year at the academy drew closer, they had even rented an apartment together. And now, the young couple eagerly look forward to the next chapter of their lives after graduation.

Anything else?

-To afford their apartment, both Sol and his girlfriend work at the Luminos restaurant part-time. Sol handles cooking.

-While it isn't his favorite past-time, Sol does enjoy the odd video game here and there. His favorite genres are RTS and RPG

-Sol can play the violin, piano, and guitar, as well as similar instruments




Name: Luna Arctica
Nicknames/Aliases: N/A
Home Location: North Minks
Age: 18
Grade: 12
Year of Attendance: 4th

Gender Identity: Cis female
Race: Mutant (wolfkin)
Natural/Racial Abilities: Enhanced hearing, sight, and smell gives her superior tracking abilities.
Height: 5'9 (175cm)
Hair Color: White
Eye Color: Silver
Distinguishing Features: Her wolven ears and tail tend to stand out the most. Other than that, her white hair at a young age is rather striking.
Appearance: While her boyfriend is somewhat shorter than average, Luna is quite a bit taller, standing at 5'9" with a slender build that's well-toned due to her passion for fighting. She has shoulder-length white hair that always looks to be in a disheveled state, pointed wolf ears and a matching, fluffy tail. She wears a black leather jacket with a white undershirt, distressed/torn jeans, and she always carries around a pair of gloves just in case she finds herself involved in a fight. On her back is a rather large burn scar from a childhood incident. She wears a necklace with a sun pendant that her boyfriend's necklace fits into.

Personality: Luna is the type of person to wear her heart on her sleeve and she'll never shy away from letting someone know exactly what's on her mind. Unlike her boyfriend, she has a short temper and tends to solve her problems with brute force, metaphorically and enthusiastically literally. That said, she is by no means unkind. She's more patient with people she likes and tends to get angry for the sake of others rather than herself. Otherwise, she's friendly unless given a reason not to be.
Aspirations: Luna has never really put much thought in what she wants from the future. She's the type of girl to take things as they come and she'll be happy so long as she's with her shining sun.
Fears: Losing her boyfriend. And bugs.

Strengths: Literal strength, quick on her feet, rarely hesitates
Weaknesses/Flaws: Tends to jump in without thinking, angers easily

Magic Type: Natural: Innate Cryokinesis: Luna can produce and manipulate ice.

Personal: Learned physical enhancement: Luna can enhance her strength, speed, and durability.

Magical Focus: Since Luna has more or less mastered her cryokinesis, she wants to focus on magic that enhances her physical attributes, always wanting to improve so she can keep her beloved safe and enjoy any fights she might get into to their fullest.

History: Though she grew up in North Minks, Luna had a happy childhood. Her mother, an accomplished ex-boxer, worked the night shift at a convenience store and her father worked days in construction, so it wasn't often that she saw them both together, but even from a young age, she understood they were doing what they could to keep a roof over her head. She didn't like it at times, but she understood, and it helped her learn to be independent.

From an early age, given where they lived, Luna's parents felt it important that she learn how to defend herself. Shortly after she started school, her mother taught her boxing and was surprised at how her young daughter took to it like a duck to water. At her behest, Luna's parents also signed her up for other self-defense classes, all of which Luna quickly took to and which she would incorporate into her own fighting style later on in life.

Then came that day. It was the one day that both of her parents would be home. Her twelfth birthday. Luna had been looking forward to it for weeks, the one day a year that both of her parents would be able to get away from work to spend time with her. At least, that was the plan. When she came home from school that day, she found that only her mother was there. As it turned out, her father had been called to a site at the last minute to help fix a piece of broken machinery. Her mother assured her it wouldn't take long, but young Luna's temper flared. She yelled at her mother before she turned and ran from their apartment. By the time she stopped running, Luna was lost and full of regret.

She had been trying to retrace her steps when the air several feet in front of her shimmered. A moment later, a monster emerged and let out a roar. She turned and tried to run as other people ran toward the monster to hold it back, but she tripped. Her eyes met those of a young boy about her age as he watched from inside of a car. The monster roared and charged toward her. Luna braced herself for the inevitable end, then gasped when the boy suddenly appeared between her and the monster. A blue light surrounded her and the boy as a sea of flames suddenly burst to life. Suddenly, a searing pain bloomed on her back and she screamed, instinctively knowing her back had caught fire. The last thing she saw before she passed out was the boy staggering toward her, a look of profound guilt and anguish on his face.

She woke up a few days later. She was laying in a hospital bed on her stomach, her torso wrapped tightly in bandages. Not long after she came to, her door opened and the boy came in. He immediately started to cry and apologize for hurting her, but she was quick to reassure him. She was nothing but thankful to him. Even if she did get hurt, he had saved her life and that was all that mattered to her.

Over time, she and the boy spent more and more time together. Eventually, she had discovered her power to control ice, something she found incredibly amusing considering the boy's power of fire. Soon after, the pair were accepted into Anepool Academy, which overjoyed Luna since she wouldn't have to be away from her friend. Time passed and they eventually went from being friends to being a couple. When they first admitted their feelings to each other, Luna had realized that if there was one truth in the universe, it was that she never wanted to be apart from her shining sun.

Anything else?

-To afford their apartment, Luna and her boyfriend work part-time at his family's restaurant. With her friendly disposition, she's perfect for waiting tables and taking orders. She also isn't afraid to show out of hand customers the door.

-She loves spicy foods, especially if Sol cooks it.

-She's an avid gamer. She enjoys most genres, but her favorites are fighting games and action RPG's.

-Luna's excellent with kids, practically being a big kid, herself. It isn't uncommon for her to be seen at a park giving kids piggyback rides, hunting for beetles, or playing tag and other children's games.

Name: Nyla Rose
Nicknames/Aliases: Wraith
Home Location: Osaka, Japan
Age: 17
Grade: 12th
Year of Attendance: 3rd

Gender Identity: Female
Race: Human Host
Natural/Racial Abilities: While her human side seems to be normal, the alien being existing with her known as Wraith weilds standard telepathy, it can also use shadows or darkness, to manifest copies of objects, people, other beings or darklings as shadows only while in darkness/shadows, additional she can become invisable and use the darkness/shadows to even create a false setting or scenerio while inside.
Height: 5'4"
Hair Color: Half and Half. Right half is white and left half is black
Eye Color: Right eye is a Golden Ember, Left Eye is pitch black like the void.
Distinguishing Features: Other than her abnormal appearence, she bares a long scar across the front of her right thigh.
Personality: Nyla is quite mischievous, she loves pulling pranks and scaring people for fun, she's also quite the flirt and has no gender preference when it comes to dating others. She also has a guilty conscious that often speaks to her and she refers to herself or "themselves" as Wraith takes shares her mind and body.

Aspirations: To fully be able to access her own abilities and gain control over Wraith, who are living within her. To excell in nature studies pertaining to darkness and finally to acheive her personal goal of finding "tranquility within the darkness." She aslo has been fascinated with mental health and has dreams to become the first Human Host psychiatrist or consulor.

Fears: 
-Fire as its a form of light
-Being Seperated from Wraith as she has grown accustomed to the being that shares her body. 
-Being overpowered by the light

Strengths: 

Weaknesses/Flaws:
-Light can cancel her manifesstations for they can only be created in dakrness/shadows
-Her power is limited to what energy she can get from the darkness/shadows surrounding her. Each time she uses an ability, it feeds off the surrounding darkness.
-The presence of light can ultimately affect how much energy she has. A small room with no light is more of a pool than a big room with dim light and alot of shadow for theres is a presence of light and a limit to how much darkness is around, how much darkness she can use.
-Fire too is a weakness, she can easily avoid a burn but the light created by fire can but a hamper on her energy pool 

Magic Type: Personal/Nature

Magical Focus: With her nature abilities she create a false enviroment around in the darkness/shadows in which she can access further abilities. This is where she can also access her adversary's pysche, allowing her to know their fears, ticks, past traumas, ect.

Gender Identity:
Cis Male

Race:
Mutant (Human/Alien Gestalt)

Natural/Racial Abilities:
Lukas is fused to an energy being who remains in Lukas’s body most of the time. They can communicate telepathically and detect nearby energy sources. They can also separated for up to five minutes at a time.

Height:
5’8’’

Hair Color:
Black

Eye Color:
Dark Brown

Distinguishing Features:
Lukas wears over sized glasses and has a massive plume of hair that stands out in a crowd.

Appearance:
Lukas is of average height and build for a boy of his age, with a body that is slim and only a little toned from light exercise. Lukas’s face is long with prominent cheek bones, accentuated by his large, thick rim, black glasses that he wears. Behind the glasses is a pale skin tone as Lukas prefers to remain inside. At the top of his head is a large mess of curly black hair. This unkempt hair goes from his shoulders up to a few inches over his head.

Lukas does dress with some intention, as he plans out his outfits in advance. This could mean wearing a dress shirt, blazer, and jeans, or a turtle neck, slacks, and boots. His taste is eclectic in style and color and Lukas isn’t afraid to try something new and push the boundary of what is considered normal.

Personality:
Lukas is a man of contradictions. While he is riddled with anxiety, he also appears sure and able to make decisions. Lukas tends to have destructive relationships as he had trouble making proper relationships. While he wants to be close to people, he tends to push them away with his actions. It is very easy to set Lukas off as many things can trigger him. A school counselor suggested that he might have Borderline Personality Disorder, but that was never confirmed.

The best relationship in Lukas’s life is with his Angel, the energy being with who he shares a body. While initially like a child, the time spent talking with Lukas has caused him to develop and form a personality. The Angel is now very caring and supportive, often someone for Lukas to talk to when he is having a dilemma. Humanity greatly interests the Angel as he wants to meet more people, which he has to do through Lukas, so he pushes him to socialize. The Angel is also very protective of humans, and will do his best to keep them safe. It is actually the Angel who is pressing Lukas into them becoming a superhero. But Lukas is disillusioned by the idea of heroes and is resistant to the notion.

Aspirations:
To be a good person and make something of his life. Possibly run his family’s restaurant one day.

Fears:
Crazy driving, spiders, being alone

Strengths:
Creativity, problem solving, and relationship with the energy being

Weaknesses/Flaws:
Massive anxiety, lack of fitness, not having full control of his powers, and anger

Magic Type:
Mutant - Lukas is fused to an energy being, making him half alien.

Magical Focus:
Lukas can temporarily separate from his energy companion, during which time it can fly around, phase through objects, shoot blasts of energy, or absorb energy sources. They can only be separated for up to five minutes before it starts killing them.

History:
Lukas was born the first grandson of Greek immigrants to Canada. Originally settling in Toronto, they quickly disliked the big city and instead moved northwest to Guelph, a much smaller city, where they would open up a Greek restaurant. The Angelos family would quickly become a key part of the community as they made good food and were friendly. It was in Guelph that Lukas’s parents met. His mother was a student at the local university who walked into the restaurant one day and met his father. They hit things off and in a year they were married. A year after she finished her studies, Lukas’s mother would give birth to him.

Lukas would grow up in his grandparents’ kitchen, soon joined by two younger siblings. As the oldest, Lukas felt that there was a lot of pressure on him to be a role model for his siblings. This pressure caused him a lot of anxiety, but it went unnoticed by his parents as their attention was on the latest alien invasion. So Lukas had to figure out ways to deal with all the tension in his body, eventually focusing it into anger. He would be suspended from school for the first time by getting into a fight.

Lukas’s parents would be immediately angered, punishing him without trying to figure out what was wrong with him. So Lukas’s anxiety continued to build as he acted out in more ways. The now teenage Lukas started going to parties, skipping class, and smoking pot. However, his parents still didn’t get it and continued to punish him. By the time he was sixteen, Lukas decided to move in with his now retired grandparents. While they were a little more understanding, they still didn’t get all the pressure built up in Lukas.

Lukas wouldn’t spend much time living with his grandparents before he decided that he needed to leave town. Alongside a friend named Kirk, Lukas got into a car and started to drive to British Columbia, hoping to start a new life on the west coast. But before they could even leave Ontario, their car broke down. They were in the middle of nowhere and had no cell service, so Lukas went to go find help.

It was in walking through these dark woods that Lukas’s life changed forever. A bright light appeared in the sky, before rapidly descending toward Lukas. He tried to run, but the light was too fast and it collided with him. Suddenly Lukas wasn’t the only mind within his body. There was an alien presence there, a simple mind like that of a child. Lukas tried talking to this presence, and while it understood him, it could not really answer anything. Then they separated, an energy form flying off into the sky.

Lukas was relieved and immediately started running back to Kirk. However, after a few minutes Lukas began to feel sick. As he collapsed to the ground, Lukas saw the energy being return and recombine with him. Following this incident Lukas told Kirk that he wanted to return home. So after their car was fixed, Kirk dropped Lukas at the nearest town. From there Lukas took the bus home to Guelph.

Once he was back in town, Lukas tried to patch things up with his parents and just generally be better. He stopped partying and now tried at school. While he was doing this, Lukas was experimenting with what he and the energy being could do. Lukas started calling the being his Angel, as the Angelos were always said to have a guardian angel.

It turned out to be impossible for Lukas to keep his new state hidden from his family. While initially worried, they came to accept this new normal. It would be Lukas’s mother who reached out about getting him some training. After looking around for several months, Anepool Academy for the Gifted would extend an invitation for Lukas to study there.

While Lukas was impressed with the offer, he still a lot of anxiety about going there. He had never even left Canada before, and now he was supposed to go live by himself in the US? But after deliberating with his, Lukas decided that getting an education, both power and academically wise, was for the best. He has now spent about a year in Anepool, studying at the academy.

Anything else?
Lukas is heteroflexible/bi-curious
Lukas is a bit of a closeted nerd, being into anime, comics, and board games.
Despite being of Greek descent, Lukas’s favorite food is tacos.
Lukas’s highest marks in school tend to be in the arts.

Appearance: Issac is a decently tall mixed race man with short black hair and blue eyes. he has a very lanky build with a button nose. 

Personality:Cocky, confident, and callous are just a few ways people have referred to Issac. Ruthless, fearless, and hardened are the others. He's comfortable with what he's done, and doesn't see any reason to set himself on a different path. Being part of the gang is better than being out of it, and he certainly doesn't plan to do anything else. Does he commit crime? Yes. It's a way of life in North Minks and no one feels any shame in that. No one worth a damn anyways. He's more than content to share the details of his exploits, almost daring someone to try something with him. Where he's from, pulling off half the stuff he has is bragging rights - everything else is icing on the cake. 
Aspirations: To escape the street life
 To get rich
To graduate   
Fears:
Having his fellow gang members die
To lose his mother
To get snitched on  

Strengths: Excellent hand to hand combatant
              Excellent marksmanship
              Very athletic

               Vehemently refuses help from anyone
               Traumatized from his past 

Magic Type:Void/Personal 
Magical Focus:Pocket dimension magic, pretty self explanatory it allows him to have a barren region of the void that he can freely use to store weapons and teleport parts of his body to so he can go intangible.

History: Issac was born to a single mother in the Royce D Smith housing projects in North Minks. His father was a gang member for the big baller street gang and was very deep in the streets. He would end up getting shot and killed when Issac was still in his mom's belly. He grew up very poor and had to adapt to his environment from a very young age, he was always getting in trouble at school even though he was a pretty smart kid. He hopped off the porch at 11 years old and became a big baller just like his father was. Right away he would catch his first body at 14 when he caught a high ranking member of the 52nd street latin kings lacking after he had robbed Issac in dice game. This would start a major war between Big baller gang(BB) and the latin kings. 

Issac was walking to the store by himself when a van hopped out and two people hopped out and started dumping shots. Issac was caught off guard and was hit several times, in was then when the bullets seemed to just be phasing through him. When the men drive off, a still badly inured Issac limped all the way to hospital when it was discovered he was a metahuman. it was around this time that the cops started to close in on him for several of the shootings he had been involved in, and it seemed like Issac was screwed. However the AMEM stepped in and offered to let drop the charges if he were to become a student. Isaac took the offer but still occasionally does drills for his gang.

"Oy, lemme make this clear I like science-sy stuff, but I ain't no nerd."


Name:  Robert Reese 
Nicknames/Aliases: Technokid
Home Location: Polis 
Age:  15
Grade:  10th grade

Gender Identity: Male 
Race:  Human

Height: 5'11
Hair Color: Red
Eye Color: Black
Distinguishing Features:  His hands. Its firm, hardened, and filled with scars and burn marks from tinkering around his experiments.

Appearance:  Robert is your average size teenager with fiery red hair, tan skin color, and narrow ruby-eques eyes similar to a cat. His body is slender yet muscular similar to a human swimmer athlete.

Personality:
At first glance, Robert appears to be your typical delinquent, with all of his piercings, fierce sharp looks in his eyes, and tattoos all over his neck. The kind of people your mother warn you about. But in reality, he is very calm, firm, approachable and righteous. He has the mentality of a child, always curious about things. He can be a little bit crass and arrogant sometimes when push comes to shove.

Aspirations: To revolutionize the world with his tech and to get back at the mob that hurt his mom.

Fears: Robert is claustrophobic. He never really outgrown the fear of it, ever since he accidentally trapped himself inside a mountain of debris when he was playing in the junkyard during his childhood. 

Strengths: 
-Great Swimmer
-Resourceful
-Dependent

Weaknesses/Flaws: 
-Being only a human, Robert is very vulnerable without his tech.
-Can get a bit cocky which often gets him into trouble.

Magic Type:  Intellect
Magical Focus:  Technology manipulation - By the use of a special artificial gauntlet, Robert can control technology devices to his own will, jumpstarting them, almost making them sentient, controlling them like a puppeteer.

He also created R.U.B.I.C. (Reshaping Unfaltering Bubble Intelligence Companion) A formless sentient made out of liquid mercury designed to defend, attack, and serve its user. A putty that can mold into any basic shape as Robert chooses. It normally takes the form of a Rubick's cube which Robert carries whenever he goes.

History:

Born from the seaside of Polis lives an artificer boy named Robert who scraps for junks, metal, and other valuable things he can for a living. A scavenger who has a passion/hobby of creating advanced tech from discarded materials he can find in the ocean.

His father came from a long line of an ancient race of sea people. Kinda similar to an Atlantean whose technology is far advanced than most races in this day and age. His mother was a brilliant scientist who used to work at South Minks, the commerce city of all the boroughs. She is now retired due to mob-related issues. An odd couple who traded their extravagant life and wishes to have a clean slate and a quiet life with their son.

This explains why their son Robert has a great affinity for technology and other advanced artifacts. 

As a kid, Robert is the loner/rebel type. He spends so much in his hobby in tinkering stuff that he doesn't get along with the other kids at age and often gets into a brawl with them. 

As a result, Robert created a companion for himself. A sentient cube made out of liquid mercury when he was still 9 years old.  

No doubt, He is a child prodigy with a knack for trouble. This is why his parent doesn't want him to get involved in the wrong crowd and decided to enroll at Anepool Academy.

Name:  Elias Andrews

Nicknames/Aliases:
Home Location:  Roldo
Age:  18
Grade: 12
Year of Attendance:

Gender Identity: Male
Race:  Human.
Natural/Racial Abilities:
Height: 5’10
Hair Color: Black with a purple hue underneath 
Eye Color:  Purple
Distinguishing Features: The above mentioned hair and eye color.  A variety of scars scattered across his body.
Appearance:
Elias' most recognizable characteristic would easily be his purple colored eyes followed closely by the slight change in hair color if you were to look closely.  Besides the odd eye and hair color Elias seems rather normal by most other standards.  His slightly above average with a leaner athletic build showing a good balance of strength and agility.  For the few times that his shirt is off around others, you could easily see the litany of scars covering his body.  Usually however, Elias prefers to wear a plain shirt, jeans and a pair of boots.  As the finishing touch Elias has also grown quite fond of his leather jacket both for its style and its ability to cover his arms up.     

Personality:
Elias rarely shows emotions through either his facial expression or his body language.  Instead he keeps the same unamused expression to most things that occur around him.  This disposition gives off an air of superiority and aloofness which isn't far from the truth.  Though he doesn't push himself to the center spotlight or brag constantly to his peers, Elias firmly believes in the survival of fitness and that you can only count on your own strength.  Most of this has been tailored from his hard life growing up, and the darker parts of his past he refuses to speak on.  Though all of these traits are definitely the dominate mode of Elias, there is this small part of him that is rather protective of the few people he is close to.

Aspirations: 
Learning more about his powers and hopefully getting even more control over them.  
To find out what happened to his sister.
Fears:  
Going back.
Never finding his sister or finding out what happened to her. 

Strengths:  
Level headed.

Weaknesses/Flaws:  
Secretive by nature.
Don't ask about the scars.
Confident to his detriment 

Magic Type:  Void
Magical Focus: 
Creating Portals:  Elias’s power and magical ability allows him to create portals that allow people or objects to pass through them and instantaneously exit out of another portal that he has created.   

History: 
Elias was born into a poor household in Roldo as the first of two children.  Not long after his younger sister was born, their mother passed after battling an illness unsuccessfully for months.  Their father did his best to provide for the two of them, but there was little one man could do to work and watch after the kids in such a rough neighborhood.  As if life wasn't hard enough, Elias’s father would also die while he and his sister were young having worked himself into an early grave.  Having no family left Elias and his sister didn't have much choice except being dropped into an orphanage somewhere in the city.
