[OOC] The Safe Haven

The Safe Haven

Ancient to Modern History

Long ago, in the time of gods and legends, great beasts roamed the land. They fed on what they hunted, be it other great beasts, animals, or humans. However, the gods also walked upon the Earth, legends born from their passing.

However, this time of relative peace could not last. Humans reproduced at an enormous pace, resulting in the deaths of far too many of these great beasts. The gods, though, looked on with dead eyes. They did not care. Only one did. A relatively young god, he had no name and was unknown to both humanity and the beasts. However, despite his age, he reigned supreme over all the gods. His power was unfathomable. However, he sacrificed this power. The result was the Mist. A sacred barrier that divided reality into three. One for humanity, one for the beasts, and one for the gods, so that they may watch but not interfere.

His power taken, the angered gods casted him out. Only one came to his aide. Also born without name, The Sentinel, as she was known, lent her aide to the fallen king. Taking her hand, they returned to the world of humanity. However, they, too, did not interfere.

However, as fate would have it, the very nature of reality opposed the king’s actions. It did not wish to be divided, as such, small slivers of control returned to the gods, and mutants, strange humans born with both a human and beast’s soul, appeared. These mutants became the new monsters to humanity, and they were hunted. Caring for them, the fallen king made a place, with the help of the Sentinel, for them. A place neither here nor there. A place to learn and to control.

This place is Haven.

20 Years Ago

Now, something happened twenty years ago. However, no one knows what exactly happened. No one but the fallen king and the Sentinel. The Mist, that mystical wall between realms, was being pierced. It was being ripped open forcefully, not in the Sentinel’s manner. She opened doors that were already there, but someone was forcing in new doors. As such, beasts began to leak through and gods began to gain more power. Natural disasters were rising and deaths, of unnatural causes, were accumulating at an alarming rate. While humanity was still ignorant to these things, the Gifted, or Mutants, were not.

Haven was preparing for War.

The Safe Haven

The Safe Haven is a mansion where kids and young adults with powers come either for learning to deal with their powers or because they were kicked out off their family house. All students in the Haven live there during school time and have are there classes there. Classes range from normal subjects like Maths and English to Combat and Power Control.

The Arena:

Located roughly a football field's length away from the school itself, the Arena is, in and of itself, the size of a football field. Many competitions are held there, such as the iconic Autumn Tournament that is held every year among the first years. The arena is the go-to spot to practice the more dangerous skills as the Arena's janitor, Mark Thuckle, is able to rebuild it instantaneously. Many duels between students are held there as well.

The Infirmary:

The Infirmary is a large, medieval style building that lies just behind and to the right of the Mansion proper. Any students injured are sent there, as Lady Jade only uses her powers for life threatening cases. The head doctor (who actually is a doctor) is named Martha Bedleck. She has amazing powers of restoration and her abilities include the manipulation of living tissue. However, she can't do anything truly strange with it, mostly just urge things to heal correctly and quickly.

The Stables:

Located just behind the Infirmary, the stables hold just over 100 hundred horses. While all the ones that first years see are normal, there is a prevalent rumour throughout the school that more than a few have wings. The stable man, Jack Colles, has the ability to speak with animals. While not particularly powerful, it is quite useful. Also, he is always looking for some helping hands.

The Forges:

Located directly to the right of the Mansion, the Forges are a series of buildings from which a constant stream of smoke rises. The forges range from electric and gas, all the way to traditional coal forges. The materials range from gold and silver all the way to Iron and steel. Taken care of by Damian Stihl, the forges are also the site if instruction for students whose powers focus on fire, heat, or metal.

Age: 67
Appearance:

Power:
Mr. Thuckle has a tremendous amount of control over stone. An unassuming old man, no one actually knows that he is the reason that the Arena isn’t in shambles. He is also the second most powerful mutant in Haven, with only the Headmaster above him.
Background:
Born a long time ago, Mark grew up in the foothills of Pennsylvania. Working as a quarry man in his youth, Mark only discovered his powers after the side of the quarry fell on him and his coworkers. Manifesting itself, his power saved him, but not his friends. Feeling tremendous guilt, Mark disappeared after that. Working on his power, Mark was somehow found by Haven’s Headmaster. The man offered Mark a home, but in exchange, Mark would have to use his powers for the betterment of younger mutants. With nothing else, Mark agreed, and between the Headmaster’s connections and Mark’s ability, Haven was built.

Martha Bedleck

Name: Martha Bedleck
Age: 34
Appearance:

Power:
Martha Bedleck has a tremendous ability to activate the healing potential of living creatures. Able to urge wounds to heal quickly and correctly, Ms. Bedleck became famous among certain circles.
Background:
Martha was born in a tiny village in Great Britain. Growing up as a very bright child, Martha was able, by the skin of her teeth, to get accepted into a medical school. However, her power would rear its head when she first started working with living patients. 28 then, her seemingly miraculous abilities were both loved and hated. Many rival doctors tried to make her go bankrupt, and they succeeded. Her gift had been her curse, but, as fate would have it, a man appeared. With his hand outstretched, he brought her to Haven. She has been there ever since, healing and teaching the school’s students.

Jack Colles

Name: Jack Colles
Age: 29

Power:
Mr Colles is able to speak with animals. While not an especially powerful trait, it comes in handy with his job. Don’t mess with the animals on campus, Colles WILL know.
Background:
Born in Kansas, Jack’s ability had always manifested for him. It wasn’t until he reached high school that Jack realized he could do something that others could not. Facing ridicule in his school years, Jack became a withdrawn, cynical man. Eventually, though, as fate would have it, Jack came across The Haven. It was just a random job interview, they were looking for a new stable man, but no one else had even come to the interview. What Jack would learn later was that the invitation had only been sent to him. Truly, the Haven’s ability to find and gather mutants was incredible.

Zoelene Sullivan

Age: 30
Appearance:

creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd…

Power: Technopathy
Background: Zoelene had a lonely childhood, being perceived as a strange little girl when her ability started developing early in her life, causing her to claim that machines and electronic devices were 'speaking to her'. Constantly feeling misunderstood, she turned to her technology for solace, finding that machines could listen to her in way that no human could, and developed a special appreciation for them that nobody else could understand. She was taken in as a staff member by the Haven when her technology-controlling ability was discovered, and empathizes with students who had also been ostracized for their abilities. She can come across as a little eccentric, especially when she is seen caressing her creations and speaking to them as if they are pets.

Other Students

Ivy Florens

Name: Ivy Florens
Age: 15 (Second Year)
Appearance (pictures accepted):

Power: She’s a plant. Is able to control most plants around her to a certain extent. Beyond that, she has to convince them. Being a plant, her perception of time is extremely warped, as such, she tends to move in a slow manner, regardless of how quickly her mind may think.
Background: Born in the outside world, Ivy suffered from the same treatment that most full-time mutants suffered from. She lived a relatively normal life until she turned 11. She had been in the city park, hanging out with friends after school, when she heard their voices. It had taken her weeks to find out where they were coming from and everyone thought she had been insane. However, her gift grew exponentially when she found them. The trees, the grass, flowers and bushes. All were speaking to her, welcoming her. What had started out as a green tinge on her arms soon became what she is now. With such a drastic change, it didn’t take long for the Headmaster to find her, and when he did, she was inducted into Haven almost immediately. SHe has spent the past four years there, living and growing. Ivy enjoys her form though, and sees no loss in it.

Xanthe Marta Silveira

Name: Xanthe Marta Silveira

Background: Xanthe was born in Italy to a metalworking father and a stay at home mother. When her powers came to fruition, her family saw no harm in them. Instead, her father brought her to his place of work and taught her all he could about metal. When Haven found her, they extended the invitation to her family. Her father, knowing that he could not teach her fully, accepted and off she went. After arriving, she had to take multiple classes on english and still cannot speak it all that well. SHe returns home on the breaks.
Class: The Forges

Ingibjörg Ásta

Name: Ingibjörg Ásta
Age: 19 (Third Year)

Power: Ing’s icy blood lends itself to her fighting style. A very up close and personal fighter, her punches are imbued with ice itself.
Background: Ing was born in Norway where she grew up relatively normally. The only major differences were that she could stay outside, in the dead of winter, with nothing but a bikini on and be fine, and she was constantly getting into fights. The last fight, the one before she was accepted into Haven, had her put another boy in urgent care after punching him in the face. Her powers had awoken and his face had frozen over.

Aiyana Benally | 17 | ♀

Power: Lightning. Aiyana can summon and control electric currents. She is also resistant to being hurt by them. She has the potential to transform into lightning and travel at quick, flashy speeds, and it's something she is trying to learn to do.​

Background: Aiyana was abandoned at the Haven as a baby, a fate she considers much better than what many of the other children had dealt with before coming to the Haven. She considers it a home and enjoys the atmosphere of inclusion and learning. Her current goal is to become a teacher or caretaker there, inspired by the people who take care of the children. As such, she is very sheltered and hesitant to leave the Haven out of fear and ignorance regarding the outside world.

Height: 5'9"
Body Build: Lean but muscular
Markings: Black Rose on the bottom of her right foot.

Background: Fredricka was a curious child, and one day stumbled upon an old house in the woods. Her curiosity got the better of her and she decided to investigate. What she found, changed her life forever. A witch lived in that old house, one that held a grudge against Fredricka's very own mother. Fredricka was cursed to turn into a fennec fox at night and during the day appear half human, half fennec fox. She was also cursed to be forever 21, never aging, forever watching her friends die of old age.

Personality: Fredricka is kindhearted and motherly to all. She will never turn down a request, especially one that she can easily take care of. She's a bit of a romantic often searching for love in all the wrong places and a bit of a book worm, considering her ideas of romance and friendship come from books. She's also a bit of an avid drinker and will out drink most anyone that challenges her. She won't allow small people, children or small framed people, to drink however as she is very protective of others. She likes to be around people and animals alike, though she's had little experience with the former. She is very curious and loves nature.

Powers:

--Communicate with all living beings, with no regard to language barriers.
--Give life force to living things. However, after doing so, she will become very tired and larger targets may leave her asleep for days on end.
--Generate heat as well as create flame. (Unstable, therefore she doesn't use it much.)

Weapons: N/A

There ya go. Have an old character. Lol.
If her age is a problem, I can go grab another character as I have a few at my disposal. -sagenod-

[Kaesus]

@HylianRose

yeah, for the age The Haven school grades are only until 18, both for the powers as well as for the normal classes, so I would suggest you picking another one of your characters or you might have to skip a lot of RP. Because even if she was still living in the Haven which is possible she would not be attending to classes.

[Aphelion]

Hey I'm interested but wont be able to start writing my application up for a couple of hours. Will you still have room by then?

[Kaesus]

@Aphelion
No problem :)

[HylianRose]

@Kaesus Back to the drawing board then. ;)

Edit: I don't have another character that would fit. So I'll be working up a new one. Just means it'll take longer. RIP.
