He's alive! :P As for your dilemma, it might help for you to go through and post about how Marc is enjoying the run. What does he see, hear, smell, or feel? What about what's going on in his mind? Is anything? Or is he just swept along in the rhythm? Stuff like this can provide insight to your character that one doesn't normally see. And then you could finish by him realizing that Paris is nowhere behind him for a bit of comedy. :D

Appearance: 
Donovan stands around 6'3" and weighs about 190lbs. He looks rather lanky on account of long muscles which can make him look kind of thin making his weight less obvious. He has jet black hair and extremely pale skin along with a pair of ice blue eyes that are usually hidden by his hood.
Name: Donovan Fersai.
Age: 20.
Gender: Male.
Power(s): Darkness manipulation- User can create, shape and manipulate darkness and shadows. By itself, darkness is mostly used to cloud everything into total darkness, but by accessing a dimension of dark energy it can be channeled to a variety of effects, both as an absence of light and a solid substance, create and dispel shields and areas of total darkness, create constructs and weapons, teleport one's self through massive distances via shadows, etc.
Limits/Weaknesses: For Donovan, being able to practice usually means finding somewhere dim and vacant to make it easier on himself. Bright lights, florescent in particular, force him to put more effort into creating darkness and give him a headache if he is in them for too long. Being that he usually wears a hoodie with the hood up his unconscious reaction is to make the shadow over is face darker which he often forgets. Using shadows to move around is more of a hassle than its worth being that it takes a dark patch about his size or bigger to move him which is far more noticeable than he likes and he has to exit through the same means so its a very unused aspect of his ability. His ability to see in the dark is quite the bonus until someone turns a light on while he is using that vision which is the equivalent of night vision goggles in the sun for him leaving him blind while his eyes readjust back to normal. Donovan has very little idea of just how far his powers can stretch which is a limit in itself.
Equipment: Supplies for whatever class he is in or going to. A pair of sunglasses, a pocket knife, an old watch.
Personality: Donovan is a patient and rather pleasant person most of the time being able to get alone with just about anyone. He has a large amount of self control which helps on a day to day basis with his powers or pressure from other people. When possible or if asked he will lend a hand to someone if they need it. He is very hard to annoy or piss off but when he is there it takes time to relax again in which he usually finds a nice dark place to unwind in for a while or if it comes down to it and the person gets physical he will get the point across that its far from smart to fight him. There are a couple of things that set him in a bad mood which generally correlates to the light level in a room, if someone turns a light on a the wrong time he might snap at them or just silently resent them for a few hours.
History: Donovan wasn't exactly born into much money but he was close to his parents and younger sister which often made up for any lack in material wealth. School was simple enough for him to get through, even if English and/or writing was difficult at times. There was very little that he disliked about his life except for when money ran bit short at times but he contributed in an effort to help keep things afloat. If Donovan were to go by what his parents say his powers have always been around to an extent they just became more noticeable when he turned ten and learned the basics of tapping into his powers. Neither parent wanted to have something to happen to their son so he was taught how to better hide his abilities as they grew while experimenting all the same. Donovan was careful to keep his sister out of the loop for as long as possible before she figured it out on her own and ever since leaving the house has wondered if she might be powered as well but there were no signs he could see so the thoughts never lasted long. He has been waiting to get out into the world more than before after finding he was accepted to what seemed like a college that he thought he would never be able to get into but a few local scholarships later and there he was getting ready to leave.
Other: The only hobby Donovan has ever really gotten into was bowling and even if he could only go every once in a while the guy has got an arm like a cannon on the lanes.

Krodin, thing is technicly you haven't seen Lucius well your character hasn't, at least there was no note of it. Plus I'm putting off posting for a while for reasons I already stated. You could always make your char look behind him XD or something.
Edit: *facepalms himself* Jeez I totally missed that post. *sigh* I'll try getting something up by tonight. I feel like such a goofball now >_<

@General Scales: I'm a bit wary about how you described darkness manipulation, as it seems to have mystical implications, which I would prefer to avoid in this roleplay. Specifically, mentioning that there are beings in the dark that he could control and describing it as an abyss "claws into him" the more he uses his powers. I would honestly prefer it if you removed the part about there being creatures in the dark hat he could control altogether and change the part about the abyss into how he perceives his powers rather than what is actually happening.
Also, due to the fact that we already have three characters that can or learn how to teleport something, I would prefer it if your character's teleportation was a relatively minor ability, like it takes way too much energy to be used constantly or reliably. That way we can kind of keep a bit more diversity. The reason we already have three is because the scope of their powers or the way that they work are fundamentally different, so I figured it wouldn't be a problem.
@Lucek: I love you, Lucek! :D Don't feel bad, though. That's something that I would have done. :P
@All: Let's go ahead and start discussing how we should move the plot on after the initial interactions. Do we want to have all of our characters get together at some point in a big group of friends? Or do we want to keep little niches that end up bumping into each other pretty frequently? Interaction will be very important in this roleplay, as it isn't about stopping the great evil and saving the world, so we need to figure out how we want to manage that now. :3 Personally, I'm up for whatever you guys feel most comfortable with, so feel free to speak up and give your two cents. :D
EDIT: I sent pm's to all of the players who are currently inactive. If they do not respond by 6 EST, then I'll have to remove them from the roleplay, though they can reapply later if they want to. Also, I put up a new rule concerning inactivity on the first page.
I really don't like to do that, but I think that it's pointless to continue holding their spot when they aren't active. :/

6. If you are inactive for a week without giving prior notice, your character will be marked as inactive. From then, you have a week to post in any of the threads or pm me until the character is removed from the roleplay and you will have to reapply if you want to continue.
Well I feel like either of them would work. We could start up slow with niches or bumping into eachother in classes or something. (a timetable or something might do the trick so everyone knows where/when the others are) and then go as a group or just go in a big group from the start. I'm fine with both. ^^

Thanks for pointing out some problems, all of which I think I fixed. Let me know if there is anything else otherwise I'll get working on a post once I get the go ahead.

@Lucek: I was actually thinking of avoiding classes from the get-go due to the fact that the plot so easily stalls there. Not to mention the fact that they wouldn't be easy to coordinate with everyone taking different classes. If people want, however, we could say that this school has every student take the same general education classes, which would allow most, if not all, of our characters to be together for them. :3 That's up to you guys though. If you like that idea, I'll go ahead and get tables set up so that we can keep track of who's where and with whom and keep things moving. :P
@General: Thanks a bunch! The only thing I still noticed was the mention of beings living in the darkness, so if you could remove that, I'll get you added to the front page and you can post. :D

@Hylian: Great post! :d
@All: Just a general reminder, but please don't be afraid to engage another character. Be proactive more often than reactive. :3 That way people have something to respond to when they post.

If it's not too much trouble, could I possibly have a brief summary on what's happened so far? I don't quite have the time to read all the posts yet.

@Mizuho: Certainly, though I admit I'm pretty awful at summaries. :P So far, not much has happened apart from Lucek, Krodin, and Hylian's characters heading off on a hike shortly before the club displays were announced to the students, which is where most of them have gone, including mine, Blackwolf, and General Scales' characters, though I believe that General Scales' character has just left the gymnasium. So that means that Hagura and his character are currently wandering campus. :3 Hopefully that gave you enough. Just ask if you need more detail. :D

@4week: I'm looking forward to it! :D
@All: I went ahead and removed those who were inactive from the front page, including the roommate section. If anyone wants to pair up with another character to be roommates, just say so and I'll edit it there. ;) Considering my character's roommate was one of the inactive ones, that means my character is available to be a roommate too. :P

Kind of rushed there, sorry for it being so chaotic. I'm working on a few projects for another RP site and my stories so I hope the quality doesn't suffer from that >_<
On a side note my char is awailable to room with, as I am in the same situation as Tali. Also open to move into someone's room if they want one. Just mention it =3
I think I'll have Lucius join the art club after all... would be most in tune with his interests. Quick question though. Can you join multiple clubs?

@Blackwolf: Let's not start any fights now. :P
@All: Do any of you have any further thoughts or ideas about how we're going to manage the groups and whether or not we're going to actually roleplay through classes? The only one who actually responded to that was Lucek. If not, that's okay. I'll just go ahead and manage it like I was going to from the beginning. :3
