It's alright. Thinking on it more, I think the fact Lucius seems to need to actively try to read minds, and Lhoren (that's my char's name) is taking gifts class hoping to learn a way to turn it off when she doesn't need it, makes them fundamentally different enough at a base level to make the similarities interesting

Well, actually this was the case for Lucius as well. He had no control over his telepathy before, but now he can control it.

He's growing into a lanky type of build, keeps his hair short in the back and whatever up front. That and his eagerness to use his fists over words means plenty of bruises and scrapes to hide away. Also has bags under his eyes from late night flying(he's a slow as you go type with a frosty trail). They hide emerald iris (that honestly could use some spectacles) with fair haired brows usually furrowed over some sort of disagreement. Tussled clean hair but hardly anything more than that. He squints a lot and his boisterous ways lead him to look disgruntled sometimes when he isn't. A pert smirk is his favorite demeanor however. Has a horrible uniform ethic that's ill fitting and obviously worn from past fistacuffs. Can often be seen using his class books as projectiles or furniture.

Loyal ◈ Bold ◈ Tenacious ◈ Brave ◈ Defiant
A lot of energy flows from this rambunctious young boy. Sitting down for any extended period of time? Nope. While lively the chips he brings to the table are being gregarious and sincere. Unfortunatly if the wrong large buttons are pushed he can easy turn into a rude and bitter fighter. Loyalty is a trait he adores in people and himself even if his reckless ways of showing it never seem to come off the right way. He's the type of person you'd rather want on your side rather than not; so it's been known to ice around Ivar's commonroom muttering his monologues to any telepath within mindshot. Kasp's a regular at detention for sleeping in class throwing things, vandalism, and dress code, so much so he was 'academically advised' to take the role as Librarian Aide. It's his troublesome ways that lead him into the line of fire of upperclass bullies, but also to the rescue of even meeker targets.
Furtive ◈ Brash ◈ Stubborn ◈ Reckless ◈ Bitter
Obviously the correspondence with his mother over the years has made him very distrusting of peoples true or final motions. Sure he'll play along but the glitter of doubt always lingers in his mind about his emotional safety in many scenarios. So loud paranoid claims can heard from the little rascal as he tries to figure out his constitution in age. Kaspaan is one to hold a grudge too, getting him back on your good graces is harder than it should be. Consequences seem pointless to him far too often and will need to be addressed if he is to thrive at the Academy.
◈ H i s t o r y
Kasp's life has been one of constant motion since his birth. Being the son of a popular artist and actress was bound the leave him wondering where and whom to call home. When his mother decided to end an alleged affair the oldest of ways, suddenly the fame and fortune took turns for the worst. It made news in the Palace, but quickly faded into the minds of only the odd Art enthusiast or Parliment-ee. Wherein Kaspaan would normally love meeting strangers, and being a glutton for fame, this chapter of his infancy was marred by absent neglect. In the absence of a father, he was sheltered under the care of his decidedly not famous grandmother. She, something of an actress herself, did not do much to help other than what was ordered of her.
Kasp learned to fend for himself and became very guarded emotionally at this time. This would lead to rude behaviors and outbursts even in the Academy. He bitterly grew a chip on his tiny shoulder's after every allusion to his linage was brought up. But his elders could also see he had a great desire to prove bad expectations wrong. He traveled a lot due to his guardians job, but one of the last places he lived was his longest. It's there he would unknowingly meet Raffaella but also suddenly disappear.
Things of a more mystical persuasion took over when instead of blowing out his candles on his 14th birthday, he froze them. Being a mystic was something everyone dreamed of! The adulations and surprise of the party brought him acceptance and pride he'd never felt before. They'd all heard the stories however, his mother's infamy still strong in mind. The Academy's representatives were wrote promptly to unsure this apple didn't rot. Kasp was quite naive as a freshly minted fourteen year old and thought being whisked away wouldn't come with his old life. His first semester was full of furtive rumors and sly bullying as to the new kid's origins. He's made a few friends of the clowning sort, but desperately wants to be respected and accepted. The powers that be are very hesitant about his conduct but see it as lashing out at personal trails of his unfortunate history. This is the year he finds out about the Willows after all.
◈ R e p u t a t i o n
Kaspaan loves to swim and has been caught sneaking out to do so many times. Pranks of ice puddles on stairs was deemed immediately flagrant and Kasp was put on extended library detail ever since. The professor in question the hurt themselves is also the swimming coach. Suffice to say this makes him feel very unlucky and likes to be rebellious under the suspicion he's already been written off. He has near perfect attendance surprisingly and always sits in the front row instead of using his glasses. His grades, while lacking in note taking seem satisfactory as well. As for class selection his attention span is the most deciding factor since he lacks any shyness. Don't ask him about that though.Elder's hardly get anywhere trying to give this little guy therapy. Frankly he hasn't really opened up to anyone about his feelings toward his parents but this year may change that.
As to his classmates, some have found a caring confidante for their angst. Others have found a target to bully, seeing as to his quick temper. Pranks or snoring is what is perhaps his claim to fame on campus, if any seeing how inconspicuous his first year was.
◈ G o a l s
Waaga Rider is a goal of his, it would really keep him occupied gainfully. He feels he has more people to prove wrong than to prove right so academic success isn't off the table but also isn't his priority. Perhaps he'll find a mentor and get his act together. Most important to him seems to be becoming proficient in his gift into something more than a trick.
◈ R e l a t i o n s
Kasp gets regular owlette letters with what his imprisoned mother is allowed to say. Dealing the the Royal Judiciaries is something familiar to him. She talks to him more than his grandmother, who is trailing off into mental abandon with her age and general disinterest in the boy. His father was put to rest long before he could remember but he has made trips to the Endless infrequently over the years to pay his respects. Or to ask lornful questions. His mother berates him for never showing her his gift, while splashing gleefully in the throughs of manic displeasure when he answers wrong. Tough shake pal, it's made him rather hate seeing a particular breed of Owlette Cespsues uses. He is also a regular fixture of the library at certain hours, so the staff know him there. The swimming instructor does as well, seeing how playful Kaspy is.
Raffaella Struna: They shared a school and a class or two together he vaguely remembers. Something about her is very hard for him to pin down before the iceman were to skamper off. Currently they have yet to be reacquainted.
Anastasia Arslan: Kaspaan isn't sure how to tell the prestigious upperclasswomen what she thought was a chance to help, actually hurts him due top his special aoenheart. Heat, and the sources of it drain his vitesse, and her gift doubly-so due to it's behavior. Unknowingly enforcing his fear or her is his refusal to reproach the situation, but Tessa has asked for him to try this year.

Frostbite
◈ M y s t i c C o d e
Kaspaan can generate Cryogenic temperatures via contact, hence the term frostbite. Super chilled breath and the manipulation of the bodys and nature's moisture leads to interesting effects to his direct person. Most of his gifts intensity is constrained to skin contact, but his cardiovascular abilities have been growing with him. He's even been learning to skate around with bare frozen soles!
◈ L i m i t a t i o n s a n d W e a k n e s s e s
Frostbite seems to be a particular empathic power for Kasp to wrangle control of, and you won't catch him around a campfire as strong sources of heat weaken his vitesse to possible catatonia. He also relies quite a bit on the ambient moisture of a setting. Freezing wounds and icing bruises is a normal thing for him though and has made him very tough.

While still a young woman, Leah is quite tall for her age. Her figure is slender and lithe, with a lean build like that of an athlete. Though not bursting at the seams with brawn, Leah is impressively toned and sinewy, with a lightly tanned mocha skin. Long aqua blue hair falls below her shoulders and onto her mid back, faintly reminiscent of flowing water. Leah's eyes glint like aquamarines, and take on a faint glow when she uses her abilities, with similar colored markings underneath her eyes.

◈ P e r s o n a l i t y
Brave ◈ Resilient ◈ Headstrong ◈ Amicable ◈ Lonely
Brave, sensible, responsible, Leah appears every bit one would expect of a descendant of Eusebia, and a child of a Royal Guardsman. Confident, and just a bit headstrong, Leah aptly fills the the role that's been thrust upon her. Personable and friendly, Leah is seen as a role model by many, and is extremely loyal to those she is close with. However, just behind the prim and proper facade, is a mere teenager, beginning to feel the symptoms of burn out and exhausted by the overwhelming expectations placed upon her by her family, the academy and her fellow students. Leah often feels alone, isolated from her fellow students, whether or not those feelings are misplaced. She fears that failing to be anything less than extraordinary means utter failure, and the fact that she was not designated as her house's Illuminaire for a 3rd year weighs heavy on her.
Leah is most in her element in classes and situations relying on physicality. While Psychiccers typically avoid physical conflict, Leah keeps in good physical shape, finding exercise and fighting as one of her few methods of therapy. Leah often espouses the importance of physical fitness, regularly reciting her father's adage: A strong body makes a strong mind. Leah is intense when it comes to contests and training, and occasionally needs to be reminded to cool off.
Generally not a stickler for rules anyway, Leah occasionally forgets that she's no longer the Illuminaire for her house, and wanders across campus during off hours from time to time.
◈ H i s t o r y
Leah Eusebia Clearwater is the youngest granddaughter of Eusebia the Stalwart, a grand hero of the 72 Years Liberation War, and whom both Leah and an entire house of the academy is named after. Her father is General Artur Galahad Clearwater, a prominent commander of the Royal Guard. With such a pedigree, it wouldn't be a stretch for one to say that Leah was born for war. Seemingly groomed for such a role, even at an early age Leah was being prepared for an inevitable fight against the Ni-Seraphi. In her childhood years, Leah was instilled with the ideas of martial discipline, as expected of one in her stature, and lived in adherence to a strict schedule. Lessons, tutors, drills, etiquette, the best the Eusebia family could afford, Leah's day to day childhood was strictly enforced.
While Leah's relationship with her grandfather was always warm and supportive, her relationship with her parents were considerably more cold and standoffish. Perhaps not exactly a lack of love, but 'taking it easy' was never something the Clearwater family understood. If Leah had time to relax, she had time to be doing chores, drilling with her brothers or the Guardsmen-in-training, or reading up on history and the Ni-Seraphi. Though only girl in a family of boys, Leah was treated no differently than the rest, and whatever expectations her father had of his sons, he had for her as well.
At the age of 13, Leah's powers began manifesting, to which her family took great pride in. Like her father, and his father, Leah was a Mystic. Also like her father, Leah was a telekineticist. Very quickly the Academy was contacted and Leah's potential was measured. They came to the conclusion was that Leah, a literal child, was destined for great things. The Academy was mandatory for Mystics, and thus Leah was admitted and sent off.
With the weight of her family's expectations already upon her, Leah threw herself headlong into her studies, forcing herself to meet said expectations no matter what the cost. When Leah wasn't in school, she was receiving private training from members of the Royal Guard- eager to win favor from her father. Skyrocketing to among the top of her house's rankings, Leah was even designated the Illuminaire for her house during her 3rd and 4th year in the Academy. To cap off her 4th year of school, Leah even bested a junior member of the Royal Guard in single combat. Riding that high, Leah returned home with her head held high, only to be deflated shortly thereafter. Even with all of the accolades and awards, it still didn't seem to be enough for her family.
Close to buckling under the expectations of her family, Leah approaches her 5th year with some measure of trepidation. She lives more or less entrenched in the shadow of her eldest brother, a star pupil that had made waves within the Academy some years ago. She still hasn't told her father that she is not the house Illuminaire again this year.
◈ R e p u t a t i o n
Leah is a well known student at the Academy, in no small part due to her lineage. Leah is regularly viewed as a role model student, particularly amongst younger members of House Eusebia, and is well liked by her teachers for her sensible nature and stellar grades. She is considered rather responsible and approachable, if a bit serious and intense- especially when it comes to exercising both body and mystic ability. There are a few rumors going about as to about why Leah is not Illuminaire again. Unsurprisingly, Leah is not particularly well liked by those in more delinquent groups or the troublemaking sort.
In her spare time, Leah can regularly be found practicing in the Dueling Room. Some say that she practically lives there.

To live up to her family name, and join the Royal Guard. In particular, Leah shows aspirations to join the ranks of the Royal Seraphim Corps.

Psychiccer
◈ G i f t
Telekinesis
◈ M y s t i c C o d e
A capable Psychiccer, Leah's primary talent revolves around using telekinesis to move and throw objects- and occasionally people- around. The concept is simple, yet effective, and is among the least 'invasive' of the Psychiccer talents- often having more in common with the various Elementalist talents. While capable of hefting heavier objects and people, Leah eschews sheer force for a more pragmatic and efficient use of her vitesse, often taking to a fight with a pair of heavy, oversized gauntlets and greaves, or a barrage of tungsten pellets. As a testament to her amount of practice, Leah is capable of fine control of her telekinesis, allowing her to strike with her gauntlets as though they were an extension of her own body. Using her gauntlets and greaves to strike from intermediate distances, Leah moves fast and strikes like a boxer or fighter, pummeling her opponents with a cascade of lightning fast jabs and combos to overwhelm their defenses, before swapping to heavier blows and objects as a finisher. Defensively, the gauntlets and greaves can be pulled in to ward off blows, and should strikes get past her guard, Leah is physically fit and hardy enough to shrug off minor blows.
More practically, Leah is often seen using her gauntlets to carry around her books or belongings, or assisting her during research or work as a second pair of hands. The gauntlets will often write notes as she pours over textbooks, or checks her planner (notably, writing with her mind is faster than writing with her actual hands.) While capable of simultaneously controlling multiple objects, Leah's efficacy and fine control reduces exponentially as the number of objects increases.
Among other Psychiccers, Leah is regularly seen preaching the importance of physical fitness. After all, a strong body makes a strong mind.
◈ L i m i t a t i o n s a n d W e a k n e s s e s
Leah's ability to finely and precisely control objects affected by her telekinesis diminishes considerably as the number of objects increase. Leah can comfortably control up to 4 objects as though they were extensions of her own body. Up to 10 objects can be controlled with moderate to vague precision. Over 10- or particularly large- objects can be propelled in specific directions, but without finesse.
Objects or people under the influence of Leah's abilities must be corporeal in nature, and cannot manipulate most elements currently being acted upon by Elementalists. In order to manipulate objects, Leah has to either see or know what and where they are, and has no ability to influence things inside of closed systems (such as organs within a body). Likewise, objects already in motion- like gears or cogs, or flying objects require a greater amount of effort and concentration to arrest than objects that are already still, and the range of Leah's direct control is limited to a space relatively close to her (Ballpark around 50 feet or closer).

Lhoren is a notably pretty girl, of around average height and build for a girl her age. She tends to dress well, wear light makeup within the dress code as often as possible, and always wears a ribbon in her shoulder length silver hair. Her eyes, when open, are a vibrant amethyst in color.

◈ P e r s o n a l i t y
Cheerful◈ Positive ◈ Desperate ◈ Kind ◈ Exuberant
Lhoren is a warm, outgoing, friendly person who likes to think she exudes reliable big sister energy. Instead, her lack of meaningful friendships in spite of trying has made her at times overbearing, awkward and manic in an attempt to overcompensate. The potential for her joking or teasing to bring forth accusations of invasive mind reading, however, means that she never joins in any banter and prefers to keep conversations cheerful and sterile, which can give some louder students the impression she’s a killjoy.
Her eyes are rarely seen fully open and a smile is seldom seen missing from her face as she goes about daily life at the academy beaming with a radiant optimism and positivity. She is always ready to help anybody in need at any given time (when it is in her power to be of assistance.)
◈ H i s t o r y
Lhoren was the third child in her family, born to parents who both worked desk jobs for the Administrative Council for their cluster of islands. She was the only girl in the family and drew up with two older brothers. Her childhood was largely unremarkable. Lhoren was a cheerful, attractive girl who never had any issues making friends at school.
When she reached the age of fifteen without having her gift awaken and nobody in the family having a gift either, she assumed it was something she’d never have to worry about. But only a few weeks later, it started. Began to hear sentences that the people around her weren’t saying. And she could also think a sentence at them and they’d hear it. She had a gift. She was a Mystic, and a Psychiccer at that.
At first she was excited, but during the few weeks of transitional paperwork while she was still at school, her ability to read minds and unearth secrets was seen as intrusive. Her teenage friends suddenly felt uneasy just being around her, and her popularity vanished overnight. Even her family members started acting differently around her, and she could suddenly hear their doubts. Their paranoid thoughts about her. But they smiled through and continued to support her, so she put on a smile herself and reciprocated.
Once the paperwork was finalised, she finally arrived at Harold’s Academy as a first year. Surely, with everyone else being a Mystic, she could make new friends. But it was worse. As a Psychiccer assigned to House Ivar she was inherently mistrusted by three quarters of the student body by default. Even amongst her own house, her gift still made regular conversations tense. The people around her know she’s a nice girl who tries her hardest, but over one year attending the school, she has yet to maintain a single lasting personal friendship with anybody.
◈ R e p u t a t i o n
Lhoren is seen as a cheerful, helpful ray of sunshine who is both dependable and eager to please. Among teachers she’s generally well liked and has a lot of potential as a student. Most people who regularly talk to her like her and will vouch for her good points but admit that they find her gift invasive and don’t like talking to her or having conversations near her as it makes them uneasy. Any student with a secret may find themselves worrying how much Lhoren knows about it.
◈ G o a l s
Lhoren’s immediate goals are to learn how to selectively utilise her gift so that she can perhaps turn it off when she doesn't need to and increase its range and effectiveness when she does. She would also like to make some friends.
Longer term goals, Lhoren likes the idea of entering the world of politics, using her gift to sniff out the truth from the lies in an environment where she could make some real change for the better.
◈ R e l a t i o n s
Lhoren has a father and mother that she still regularly writes to, two older brothers who both have full-time jobs now, and a couple of pen-pals from her old non-Mystic school she writes to on occasion.

Telepathy
◈ M y s t i c C o d e
Lhoren can hear the thoughts of all those around her as if they had spoken the thoughts out loud. Similarly, she can also send telepathic messages to others, either individually or by broadcasting a thought to everybody around her. In combat exercises she often uses this gift to announce any tactic the enemy thinks about, directly to her teammates, taking any element of surprise away from the enemy.
◈ L i m i t a t i o n s a n d W e a k n e s s e s
Lhoren can’t actually read a person’s mind. Only their single topmost train of thought at the forefront of their mind at any given time. If somebody had a lot of dark secrets but was currently genuinely preoccupied about what to have for lunch, she would only be able to pick up on them worrying about lunch. Similarly she can only send one thought to other people at any time. The range of her gift is about twenty feet at present though she’d like to train it to reach farther. At present she also has little control over the gift and no way of turning it off when it’s not needed, which she would like to do very much.

@Ti You have compettion for Illuminaire, I’m sorry.
◈ A p p e a r a n c e ◈
Taegan is a tall lanky young person. They stand at 6’3” and towers over many others. They have slender build with slight muscle definition that they maintains for cosmetic reasons. They have a heart shaped face with soft features that could convincingly belong to a man or a woman. They wear makeup to contour their face to emphasize their masculinity or femininity depending on their whims. Their hair is blonde and kept in a short bob normally. Sometimes they’ll wear wigs if they want to experiment with different hairstyles. Their fair skin complexion perfectly complements their clear and striking blue eyes. Notably, Taegan has no body or facial hair, further enhancing their androgynous appearance.
Sometimes Tae presents masculine, some days Tae presents feminine, but most days Tae presents androgynous. Either way Taegan sees themselves as beautiful, and sees no reason why others shouldn’t also. Taegan has a passion for fashion and enjoys wearing a wide range of clothing styles. They particularly favor robes, tunics with tights, fancy suits, and pretty gowns. However, one commonality across their wardrobe choices is their preference for expensive garments. Taegan exclusively wears the finest silks and fabrics money can buy, considering anything less to be offensive to their sense of style and self-expression. Sitting atop of their head is a crown of gold leaves, symbolizing their noble status and personal flair.

Entitled◈ Confident◈ Charismatic ◈ Prideful◈ Lonely
Taegan is a character with high status and a sense of entitlement. They are proud of their noble background and never hesitates to showcase their prestige. They exude an air of wealth through their clothing and demeanor, expecting nothing less than the best in everything they encounter. Anything less would just be insulting. Taegan tends to look down on commoners, finding them boring, but understands that it is their duty to guide and rule over them to improve their lives.
Naturally inclined to leadership, Taegan takes charge of situations and knows how to command attention and respect through their persuasive speaking skills. They find joy in being in control and imposing their will on others. They often dismiss alternative ideas, believing that their own are superior. However, they struggle to handle challenges to their ideology and become defensive when faced with opposition. Taegan’s concern for others is primarily based on their usefulness and cooperation towards shared goals, and they quickly move on from relationships once they no longer serve a purpose.
Despite their excessive confidence and elevated status, Taegan carries a deep sense of loneliness. While they have a close connection with their goddess, it fails to fulfill their longing for true friendship. Taegan secretly wishes that others would naturally gravitate towards them as a natural ruler, but they often find it difficult to establish genuine connections due to the conflicting demands of leadership and friendship. They yearn for one true friend but struggle to strike a balance between their position of authority and fostering meaningful companionship.
◈ H i s t o r y
Taegan’s upbringing a member of the influential Granlock family provided them with privileges and opportunities that many others did not have. From a young age, Taegan was immersed in the teachings of their noble lineage, learning everything from etiquette and manners to the religious beliefs centered around their Goddess. However, it was the study of magic that truly captivated Tae’s interest, and they spent a significant amount of time delving into books on the subject.
Outside of their studies, Tae struggled to fit in socially. They rejected traditional gender norms and did not conform to being solely identified as a boy or a girl, which led to others viewing them as strange and weird. The resulting teasing and name-calling deeply affected Taegan, causing them to retreat further into their studies and their connection with the Goddess. The Goddess became a source of solace and companionship, alleviating some of the loneliness they experienced.
Growing up in a noble family instilled in Taegan a sense of superiority, which they used as a defense mechanism to mask their loneliness. They looked down on commoners and rarely associated with individuals outside of their aristocratic circle. Taegan’s family encouraged this belief, emphasizing the noble's role in leading and guiding the common people toward righteousness. While Taegan desired to ascend to a position of leadership, their motivation was not solely driven by a connection to the goddess but also by the desire for the power and influence.
Taegan’s gift manifested early, at age 14. The couldn’t be happier. This was a sign from the Goddess that the path they were following was the right one, and they were destined for bigger and better things!
◈ R e p u t a t i o n
Taegan is a part of the prestigious Granlock family. This gives them a high social standing and privilege. Their noble status gives them a lot of respect from people who care about that sort of thing. Tae never fails to flaunt their wealth and status. Everyone in the school knows who they are, for better or worse.
◈ G o a l s
Taegan strives to make their mark on society. They aspire to ascend to a position of leadership within their aristocratic circle. Taegan sees themselves as a natural ruler, guided by their noble lineage and connection to their Goddess. They seek to wield their authority to improve the lives of the common people, whom they view as their responsibility.
Although they would never tell anyone out loud, Taegan longs for genuine connections and true friendship. They yearn for an authentic connection where others see beyond their noble status and appreciate them for who they truly are. Taegan desires to find one true friend who can provide the companionship and understanding they crave.
They aim to hone and master their magical abilities, exploring the depths of their power and discovering new ways to utilize their light-based skills.
◈ R e l a t i o n s
Taegan has a large circle of friends. However, they are not real friends, and Taegan knows it. They only are around because of Taegan’s noble status, and are hoping to benefit from it. Taegan genuinely wishes for real connections.
Taegan loves their family, but Taegan’s parents aren’t around as much as they would like. Being nobility takes up much of their parents time.

They aim to hone and master their magical abilities, exploring the depths of their power and discovering new ways to utilize their light-based skills.
◈ R e l a t i o n s

Taegan can produce light from their body that they can control for various purposes.
Light Blasts: Taegan can conjure and project focused blasts of intense light energy from their hands. These blasts are swift, precise, and capable of inflicting damage on their targets.
Protective Barriers: Taegan can create protective barriers composed of radiant light. These barriers act as a shield, blocking incoming attacks and providing a defensive layer of energy. The barriers can be molded and shaped to fit different forms and sizes, providing protection for themselves and others in their vicinity. These barriers can withstand a significant amount of damage, but their durability and strength depend on Taegan’s skill and concentration.
Illusions: Taegan possesses the ability to cast minor illusions using light energy. They can manipulate the play of light and shadow, creating illusions that confuse and deceive their enemies. Taegan can generate illusory copies of themselves or alter their appearance to appear differently, making it difficult for opponents to discern their true location or intentions.
Light Manipulation: Taegan possesses a deep understanding of light and its properties. They can manipulate and control light, altering its intensity, color, and direction. They can create dazzling displays of luminescence, projecting radiant beams, or shaping intricate patterns of light.
◈ L i m i t a t i o n s a n d W e a k n e s s e s
Vulnerability to Darkness: As a light-based elementalist, Taegan’s powers may be less effective or even nullified in environments with significant darkness or absence of light sources. Their ability to conjure light and manipulate it relies on existing sources or ambient light. In situations where light is scarce or completely absent, Taegan may face challenges in utilizing their abilities to their full potential.
Light Sensitivity: Taegan’s powers are intimately connected to light, and they have heightened sensitivity to extreme or intense sources of light. Excessive exposure to bright light sources can temporarily impair their vision or cause discomfort, potentially hindering their ability to focus or effectively utilize their abilities in overly illuminated environments.
Solar Dependence: In addition to using vitesse, Taegan’s powers are also dependent on the sun. They have to go in the sun regularly to recharge.

There's no specific number. It will depend on how many character submissions we get and how many players out of that number want to have the Seraph's Kiss. Statistically and narratively, far more students won't have it than will, and as we can see, many players want the Seraph's Kiss. Ideally, it should be 25% of characters will have "the kiss" and the other 75% will not. It's not a first come, first serve thing for me. It's about quality, thematic cohesion, magical balance, creativity, narrative integration, etc. Create your character as you want; don't let current submissions sway your creativity. But if too many players want "the kiss", I'll have to make some tough choices once I'm able to thoroughly review all the character sheets. I want to be fair, but narratively, it's just something only a few players can have, unfortunately. :)
I honestly assumed it was going to be rarer than not, though as it tends to go it seems more than a few like the idea of it for their characters. Which is entirely fair you know, just hoping we all get to play the characters we want lol. On that note I was going to have Corrine have it, though her secondary ability only manifested once and she hasn't been able to use it since. So really, unless someone gets the old man to talk or she actually manages to manifest that ability again, she's playing the best game of hide the gift possible on accident lmao.

So many telepaths! Who knew telepathy was such a popular power! 
This is cute, but it doesn't fit the aesthetic of the RP, unfortunately. It's that chatroom avatar style I mentioned in the character sheet that is ill-fitting here. However, I've created some AI art you can look through to see if any of these you like for your character.
Edit: Just saw Crimson's character sheet. LOL Oh well! Nice new picture btw

I also thought about making a seraph's kiss, but it seemed to be all the rage so I decided against it

Narratively, it would be much rarer, right? lol but like I said, I do want to be fair so at least a relative number of players get to have the kiss. So 25% felt like a good compromise in this case. But yeah, most players can't have it, otherwise, it wouldn't be the narrative and thematic anomaly that its supposed to be. It's supposed to be this abnormality that the Mystic community heavily looks down on. It's a metaphor about discrimination for being different, which is also the entire point of the X-men. It's a cultural and safety hazard issue for them. So the rarity of it builds up the angst and secrecy that these individuals have to go through to keep the fact that they have "the kiss" hidden from most others. I mean, the Mystics are REALLY prejudice against other Mystics with the Seraph's Kiss due to the legacy of their world, notably during The Time of Tears.
I do think there's enough material where everyone can still play the character they want, they just might not be as "gifted" as they originally planned out. Similar to how not everyone can be an Illuminaire. We have to adapt tactfully and still be open-minded enough to make changes and have fun. ^_~ <3

Competition is fierce, but I think Igbliss and I have the Kiss on lock. >:) It's pretty neat how we both ended up making "powerful non-combatants" with the concept.
Also aw, everyone is so lonely. Don't worry, Raffaella sees you! Even if nobody sees her. She'll be everyone's imaginary friend.

@Ti You have compettion for Illuminaire, I’m sorry.
Competition can be healthy if we all go into this with the spirit to have fun!

I think in the greater narrative, the Academy hosts around a thousand students. The player characters tend to be the ones that stand out more for various reasons. So the percentage of special cases or creme la creme characters within the PC population is examining that 1% of the 1000.
