Covenant Academy - An Urban Fantasy School RP - Interest Check and Signups

[Shadowcatcher]

here it is. i hope she's not too boring. i didnt really want to play a badass in this rp.

Human:
Name: Hana Yukio

Age: 16

Appearance:

Personality: Hana will likely be voted 'nicest and most caring student' once she graduates. She is so bubbly, always happy, and rerely gets bad at anyone. She is likely to strike up a conversation with even a stranger. She isin't bullied because she can easily become friends with the meanest of people. She loves helping people, wants to be a Veteranarian one day, and thinks she's a little chubby. She likes to eat sweets and will likely bug you with her cute charm to get you to buy her a treat. Though she does not no wvery student, she considers everyone a friend and will refer to them as such.

Clubs:

Student News Paper

Zoology Club (take care and play with various animals)

Works for the School's Postal Service

Brief Backstory: To Be Revealed

Contract(s): Arael. He gave her the cross earing on his left ear so that she may summon him with ease each time.

Contracted Being:

Name: Arael

Type: Angel

Personality: Arael is the strong silent type of angel. He speaks only when spoken to and does not act on his own without permission first. He may come across as distant, but in reality he's simply shy. Around Hana he talks a bit more since she is so carefree, it rubs off on him a little. He does his job quickly with little flaws and then he returns to what he was doing before he was summoned. Though most times it is against his will, he doesnt mind if Hana summons him for things other than emergencies or to just hang out when she cant sleep at night or to help her with homework.

Powers: When they fuse, she knows all of his moves and can use his powers as their minds are one. Angels have limitless power, but Hana refuses to use many of his except for a few:

Flight - He has wings of course

Healing Others - He cannot heal himself and when they fuse Hana cannot heal herself. Limited to small wonds and broken bones, poison, etc. He cannot undo diseases/sickness or death.

Fighting Style - As an Angel, he battles against evil forces who try to do harm to Hana or her friends. He has a sword made of pure light that Hana aquires during fusion.

Aura Sensing - Basically he can feel someone's aura as it fills with fear when they are in danger.

Messenger - They use this in a fun way. It helps when they deliver mail and such because he knows who everyone is and where to find them on campus.

Fusion: He loses his wings and joins with Hana's body. A pair of white wings form on her body and when she speaks, it is with both of their voices. They share thoughts and actions and protect those who are close to them from any possible harm. She has the ability to use many more of his powers but chooses not to. As a result, he seals them away so she cannot use any other than the ones she has previously chosen in their contract.

After a bit of discussion, I've decided to make VitaVitaAR a co-GM.

@ruronihs: The ritual's just when they're making the contract. Afterwards the being can basically appear by their contractor whenever they want, although the contractor can temporarily block them out.

[VitaVitaAR]

I'm happy to help! ^_^ Now, let's see...

@Phobos: I'm sorry, but your entire bio simply doesn't work for multiple reasons. To start with, the entire terms of a contract in this setting are "enter the human world in exchange for working with, fighting for, helping, and granting you power". The terms of their contract would not involve stealing souls, absorbing beings, or weakening the contractor. On that note, this is a school setting in a world where contractors are an accepted, daily thing. A contract like that would probably be forced back into the magical world, since it's clearly malevolent, uncontrollable, and dangerous. Especially if it was being brought into a place where it could harm students. Humans in this setting also have no magical power until they enter a contract with a magical being, so magical ability would be a complete non-issue. Finally, while OC supernatural beings are allowed, OC gods are not, as the entire point is contracting something that exists in mythology.

@Hesoca: He seems fine, but I just have one question: He's not going to be lifting people up inescapably with the telekinesis, right?

@Shadowcatcher: While the bio for your contractor looks fine, there are some issues with your contract. The powers listed seem okay, but he can't have unlimited power that she simply doesn't use when they're fused. In addition, the powers he has as a summon must be listed.

@edboy: Unfortunately, there are a lot of issues with your bio.To start with, while these are not the most serious issues listed, the contractor being 2000 years old and participating in every human conflict is a bit... strange, to say the least, and a weird fit for this RP. But the real problems come after that.
This is not a setting where any deity, regardless of who they are, participated in the creation or rules or whatever of the world. All deities exist in the supernatural world, and these days unless someone has a contract with them they cannot enter the human world. Even in the past it would be the same, though the contract system was likely not fully understood and there was more ambient magic in the world allowing deities and things on there level to cross into the human world on their own. Archangels fall under the same system, and the terms of a contract in this setting mean they would indeed be able to physically manifest in the human world because that is quite literally what a contract allows for the contracted being.
Then, well... beyond possibly being able to contract a specific being easier, names really don't have much in the way of power in this setting. It's just not one of the settings where things world like that.
Teleportation to anywhere he's been, given his long, long lifespan and involvement in so many conflicts means he would probably be able to teleport just about anywhere on earth.
As per the rules of the setting, no contracted being would require to possess anyone to have a physical form in the human world. The contract takes care of that.
The holy energy is fine as long as it's not going to be instantly destroying characters on a touch too.
Limitless teleportation is absolutely not allowed. It effectively allows unlimited dodging in a fight.
Telepathy is not allowed, as it is very easy to ruin a plot by being able to sense the thoughts of others.
Resurrection is something I honestly think should be limited to more powerful gods. Or maybe personal resurrection with something like a Phoenix.
Supernatural Perception isn't so bad on its own, but you state that Reapers and Horsemen of the Apocalypse would be invisible, which... isn't the case for this. I'll be honest and say Supernatural probably isn't the best base for anything for this RP. ^^;
Weather manipulation seems kind of... random at best, honestly.
Pyrokinesis seems a bit excessive on top of holy energy but it's not as bad if the limits are clarified.
Thermokinesis is definitely excessive and much more easily abused.
These last few powers might not be so bad on their own, but together it kind of forms this massive list of simply... too many powers for one contract, many of them without much in the way of a real connection to one another.
In its current state, this bio's not acceptable.

[edboy49]

I will work on the sheet later.
Though for the record the teleportation is only used to move from one place to another, it can't be used in combat.

[VitaVitaAR]

Hmm, I'll have to think on it then. I think it's still a bit too versatile but we'll see.

In any case, thank you for your cooperation. ^^; I'm very glad when players are willing to work with me on bios.

[Tatsua Aiisen]

"Hm? You looking for something?"Name: Cecelia Goldsmith
Age: 15
Personality: Cecilia could easily be described as a quiet, careless girl, one who's seen her fair share of lazy summer afternoons. She's curious by nature and easily excited, making her stand out among her peers whenever something interesting is going on. Some might call her lazy, but she just prefers to take things slowly, not rushing anything when she doesn't need to. Surprisingly selfless, mainly because she derives happiness from the happiness of others...
Clubs: N/A
Contract: Apollo, God of the Sun (and more).

Name: Apollo
Type: God
Personality: Apollo is a cheerful enigma with a taste for romance and flair. He appreciates most forms of music, and his most favoured trait is "foresight."
Powers:
Blessing of Sunlight-
A simple, all-around blessing from one greatly associated with the sun. With it, Cecilia finds herself empowered by the warmth of the Sun's embrace, granting her increased clarity of vision and making all of her powers stronger. Her eyes will never pain from staring at the sun for long, and in its grace, she may recover her stamina and wash away her weariness in mere moments.

For her alone, the sunlight cleanses the very deepest parts of her spirit, bringing her rest and protection for as long as she remains under its watchful gaze. The higher the sun in the sky, the stronger these effects become, and the more filled with sunlight she becomes. Conversely, the further the sun is from herself, the more her strength wanes, until it eventually reaches its lowest point at the stroke at midnight. Being away from the sun for too long makes her weak and drains her power, as the sunlight inside of her eventually fades as well...

Healing-
The ability to heal injuries by drawing upon her own life energies and sewing together the severed spirit of a target. While this means her healing is superior to most, and that she can heal virtually any injury or ailment save death, this also means that she risks herself whenever she hazards to heal with her own strength alone. Healing is a dangerous and draining art that she, as one who is human, should never have dared to attempt.

The presence of the Sun eases her burden and helps her potency, but the only time it can take the entirety of her burden is when her strength is at its peak, during the minute it is highest in the sky. At that time, she may heal to her hearts content, although not without limit. Additionally, when separated from the sun or when consumed with the dark of night, her healing becomes increasingly more costly and difficult to preform.

Arrow of Sunlight
Cecilia possesses the ability to control sunlight to some extent, bending it and focusing it with her own will. While rather draining on her strength, she is able to draw upon astounding amount of solar energy using her own spirit as a focus, gathering power from the sun and allowing her to focus it into a devastating arrow. Using the bow created from her mind and heart, she is able to fire these arrows at great speed and accuracy, delivering hot, almost laser-like shots from an exceptional distance. That is, if there's enough sun for it, and if she's in the proper location for such a feat of power. Much like her other abilities, her capability to preform this is based entirely on the cycle of the sun, and at the height of her power, the burden is greatly reduced.

Gift of Song
As a girl contracted with the God of Music, Cecilia's singing is a league above that of most mortals, with no practise or actual talent required. Her music can ease the sorrows and cleanse the hearts of others, so long as she contains enough sunlight. That said, this power isn't all that interesting, but Apollo claims that it's "The most important of her skills." She thinks that he should probably be more helpful, though...

Using the power of song, Cecilia technically has the ability to greatly amplify her power and allow it to effect many people at once. That said, she doesn't actually know about this ability, so she can hardly use it until it is unlocked.

Gift of Prophecy-
Cecilia's Gift of Prophecy is pretty lame, she doesn't quite understand it enough for her to be even able to see the future, let alone produce prophecies. Still, she does have a very sharp intuition, and tends to get unexplained hunches that lead her to good fortune. Apollo claims that her Gift will grow as she matures, but warns that it will leave her forever if she loses her maidenhood. Eventually, she'll be able to see clearly into what has yet to occur and perceive the very designs of the universe. Probably not anytime soon though, and never without a certain GM's approval...

Fusion: When Cecilia fuses with Apollo, she noticeable ages and her hair lengthens greatly. Her body seems to become a source of pure, warm sunlight, causing her to glow brightly and turning her eyes a beautiful, golden hue.

Glorious Sunlight-
The power that comes from having the Sun God himself within one's own body, Cecilia's body begins to radiate small amounts of sunlight, fuelling and strengthening all of her powers. For as long as they are fused, her wounds and weariness will continuously heal until they are no more, or until her Fusion ends. Using her abilities too much will deplete the sunlight within her own body and cause them to gradually become more costly, but simply basking in the sun passively for a time is enough to completely recover it. Additionally, even after her fusion has ended she remains with the warmth of the sun within her for a while, powering up any powers she intends to use.

Bow of Sunlight
Temporarily summon's Apollo's own Bow and lends Cecilia his divine archery skill, allowing her to launch her Sunlight Arrows with peerless accuracy, range and speed. Unfortunately, this takes up so much power that she is simply forced out of her Fusion state moments afterwards, while the Bow remains for but twenty seconds afterwards.

Radiance
By focusing sunlight from her body and through her eyes, Cecilia may emit a potent energy burst consisting of errant energy and sunlight. The wave of power is powerful enough to knock a sturdy man over or send a smaller human flying, depending mostly on the distance between her and the target. As Radiance is targeted with her eyes as a focus, only something she is able to focus on can be struck, and its effects are limited entirely to whatever she targets. This is also quite draining when used repeatedly...

Summon: As a God, Apollo doesn't manifest for just anything, and there are certain ancient limitations to what he can and can't do. In the brief time he is kept in this world, he appears like an attractive, blonde man in his twenties, wearing clothing reminiscent of ancient greek wardrobe. His bow is strapped to his back, but he rarely gets to use it, due to his particular limitations. When summoned, he may preform a single miracle, before he must leave the world for two days, leaving Cecilia to her own devices and unable to fuse for the duration of his absence. Miracles must either be a single Healing, a single Sunlight Arrow, ten minutes of Fusion, a single original composition, or a single vial of magical medicine.

Apollo possesses more than a few abilities of his own, but he is sworn to never use them for his Contractor's benefit. This list goes on, covering subjects ranging from releasing deadly plagues to seeing clearly into the future. As expected of a god.

Nope; it only works on inanimate objects. Sorry, I should have specified. =P

[VitaVitaAR]

@Tatsua: I'll look into that soon.

@Hesoca: That's fine then, he's accepted.

[Dblade26]

Name: Roland Wright.

Age: 16 most of the time

Appearance: Most of the time Roland has messy black hair that tangles up and falls over at least one of if not both of his brown eyes. Roland is usually around 5'4" in height and ridiculously pale due to his powers making it more than a little difficult for him to get a tan
.
Personality: Roland is a huge fan of anime and video-games of multiple genres ever since he was little. This has an unusual effect on his worldview, as these days he sees himself as the protagonist of his own story, causing him to try and act like a hot-blooded and "cool" hero. Despite seeing himself as the main character he insists that everyone is a vital part of the story no matter how minor their part seems, and he strives his best to make sure everyone has a 'good ending'.

Clubs: Video gaming club, anime and manga appreciation club, school security forces/disciplinary committee.

Brief Backstory: Optional. As a small child Roland wanted desperately to be a hero and wound up contracting with a phoenix to that end. However, he wasn't exactly capable of handling the power well at his age and kept continually getting in trouble while trying to 'save' people. Eventually his parents didn't know what else to do with him and sent him to Covenant Academy, where he's lived ever since he was six or seven. His drive to be a hero eventually landed him a place helping to protect Covenant Academy, and he works as hard as possible at the job like a hero should while also living what he deems 'a beautiful and idyllic school life!'

Contract(s)
Contracted Beings: Phoenix
Name:
Type:Phoenix
Personality:
Powers: The primary power of the Phoenix contract allows Roland to control and generate flames, as well as granting him immunity damage of any sort from heat or flame of any sort that he can also choose to extend to his clothes and anything he's touching at the time. The Phoenix contract also grants Roland an additional power. He has the power of Rejuvination, and can heal from nearly any sort of damage, even fatal wounds. However this comes with a serious downside. After Roland's regenerative powers activate, his age temporarily reverts to eight years old. In eight-year-old form Roland is unable to use his Rejuvination power and his flame abilities are greatly diminished.

Fusion: In fused form Roland's hair becomes a fiery red, yellow and orange color reminiscent of flames, with spike-filled styling to match. His eyes also become reddish colored and he gains the ability to generate flaming wings from his back that let him fly at incredibly high speeds. His flames also become much more powerful. However while in this state he loses access to his healing abilities.

Summon: The Phoenix looks like a big bird of prey. Made of fire. The Phoenix is about the size of a Philippine or Harpy Eagle and can generally hurtle around like a feather-y fireball with talons attached burning through most things it comes in contact with. It can also heal others or itself of major injuries at which point it becomes something a lot closer to [url]http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/the-random-creatures-of-anime/images/13867817/title/chibi-phoenix-photo?ir=true] this [/url] and vanishes soon after.

[VitaVitaAR]

Accepted.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Tatsua: Alright, I've given your bio a look-through and I have to say it honestly doesn't fit. Especially given that I have a character contracted to Apollo's sister and she has none of the same limitations or abilities listed there, and logically both siblings would not be too distant from one another in power. It's simply not how things are established to work in this setting on top of that.

I actually hinted with his abilities that he is an actual god, Tartarus, not a made up one. I thought we didn't have to put the actual name of the god, since they could always just go by aliases. But I'll just redo the entire CS when I have the time

[peachpenguin]

If this isn't closed (wow there are a lot of characters) I think I'll be throwing my hat into the ring and making one after I read through what everyone else has done.

[VitaVitaAR]

It's not closed at all.

[peachpenguin]

Good, I'll definitely be making a character after I read through everything that's always been posted~

[ruronihs]

So, any idea on when we can expect the IC?

[peachpenguin]

Question, can a character have more than one contract?

[VitaVitaAR]

They can, but they can't be exceptionally powerful. One weak, one decently strong, or both about equal.

[peachpenguin]

Okay, cool. Neither of the beings I was thinking of are exceptionally powerful at all, so that shouldn't be a problem. Thanks~
