[OOC] Darkness Awaits - Another Magic RP

[Cryal]

I would like to note,

This is my first roleplay I've ever done, on any site. I'm testing the waters, so please give me some time to adjust. I've never done this before, and I'm more than likely to mess up somewhere.

On another note,

This is going to be a pretty pointless roleplay. I don't have a "goal" in mind for finishing it. That is something I feel can be worked on as the roleplay develops and the general purpose becomes more clear. Until that point, bear with loads of pointless information, content, actions, and seemingly meaningless plot turns, flips, and barrel rolls. I've yet to decide what I want out of this roleplay.

Welcome to Deepwinter.
You are a student studying in England. However, it's not quite as simple as it seems. You've been granted the ability, whether a gift or curse, to control certain points of the reality around you. Most call this magic, however you identify yourselves as; "Reality Benders". You've managed to control this ability, at least enough to be functional. However, you wish to further harness your abilities. So, you've found a place where the other RBs gather, to gain knowledge, and share what they can. This is a safe haven. Furthermore, some of the RBs have decided that they're a "master race" of sorts, and need to destroy the "normal" population.

Rules

Your granted a maximum of 2 abilities. Your abilities need to have 1 downside each, to balance it out. Character appearances must be image only, and anime is allowed, and promoted. The minimum age you're allocated is 17, and the maximum is 19 (to prevent pedophiliac in-character relationships, and maintain a sense of realism.) No more than fade to black. "Kissing" allowed, but no detail please.

My Character

Name: Alex Jackson
Age: 18
Appearance:
History: Alex grew up in the UK, living mostly in London. His family was mostly well off, and provided him a decent education, however this didn't stop Alex from going out and doing drugs, partying and the like. Quickly the partying turned into a habit, and Alex lived this way for roughly 2 years. He's since quit most of the drugs, and is living in Deepwinter.
Personality: Alex is a fighter. He's got a very short fuse, and is quite easy to set off. This is partly due to drug abuse as a teenager. While he is very aggressive, he is also very passionate, and and when finds things he loves, he loves them with his all.
Abilities: Shadow and sound manipulation. Combining these two abilities, Alex has managed to become a sort of "ninja". He can manipulate shadows, literally becoming just a shadow hidden in a dark corner, while creating sound elsewhere, distracting his opponent. He prefers fighting at night, when it is easy to become disorientated. If Alex trains enough, his shadow manipulation abilities could develop into darkness manipulation, and his sound abilities could manifest itself into such a powerhouse that it could rip atoms apart from pure vibrations.
Downsides: Alex is very vulnerable in the day, and in water. Because of this, Alex avoids places like the beach, or pools. This causes him to be socially deprivation making him lack companionship.
Affinity: Alex supports humans remaining alive.

NOTE: This is NOT a romance roleplay, however I highly encourage character interaction of any type. I have absolutely no problem with romance in roleplay, however I do not want it to be a main point.

IF YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN ACCEPTED, YOU DON'T NEED TO FILL OUT ANOTHER APPLICATION.

Name: Allen Price
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:

pic

Short Bio: Allen was 7 when he moved with his mother who got a divorce with his father and Allen would just listen to music. He loved music ever since his mother would play her instruments like the trumpet and flute. So when Allen got his headphones from his father Allen's father said that no one is to use the headphones but Allen and said that the headphones contained energy only to be used by the Price bloodline and Allen told him that there is nothing to worry about. Then his father disappeared one day after the divorce and Allen didn't know what he will do without talking to his dad. Because Allen thought his father would understand anything he would tell him and loved him for listening to his issues. Then when Allen got to his house he'll be living in with his mother, he met many new friends and grew up there with them and still no letters or calls from his lost father.
Personality: Allen tends to hide his real emotions behind a big smile and doesn't like talking about it to his mom. He also loves to chat and be social with friends that are usually around him most of the time. He is also athletic and loves the sport soccer, and the most important part of his personality is that he loves music. What ever kind of music he listens to seems to give him more energy and pumps him up for anything. If Alex is feeling sad, mad, angry, or just plain bored he would listen to his music and forget about whatever he was emotional about.
Ability: He has the ability to gather energy from his headphones while listening to music use it to enhance his abilities or others like boosting their abilities better than it was before
Downside of his Ability: He can only enhance one ability a time like strength, regeneration, or stamina and only lasts as long of the average song and when he wants to enhance again, he can't , because it has a cool down time like 10 minutes and then he is most vulnerable so he can't get in a fight without back up

I'm interested and I hope that this is okay, if not I'll edit it

[Allie]

Picture Link.

Name: Allie Doyle

Age: 17

History: Born in a small town in America, Allie was sheltered by her parents because of her ability. The community had strict religious policies and ideals, so her parents were worried they may see her as "evil." Allie had no friends growing up. She knew it was for the best, being locked up in her room with nothing but mountains of books. Her parents eventually sent her to Deepwinter when they found out about the place. They hoped that she would be safer with people who were more like her.

Personality: Allie is very quiet and reserved, somewhat afraid of other people. Not of the people themselves, but more of what she could accidentally do to them. Books being her only company, she wants friends, but is afraid of making them and not very sure how to. However, she is truly very kind.

Ability: Able to poison someone with her blood. One small drop is extremely lethal.

Downsides: A cut or an extremely heightened emotion (anger and fear) will cause her blood to unwillingly seep from her hands. It can easily kill someone, depending on how strong they are. Even though she can't die from the poison inside of her, it constantly makes her weak and sometimes sick.

Affinity: Indifferent. She knows that there are good and bad people on each side.

[Savi]

Name: Faeya Donovan
Age: 18
[hider=Appearance]
History: Faeya lived in a suburban area where everything had to be perfect or you were kicked out of the house. Her parents, huge on religion and perfection, had three children; her being the surpise third child. Her two siblings were perfect. One boy, who was the perfect athlete as well as being attractive, and one girl, who was the most popular and beautiful girl. Then there was Faeya, who was the freak. Whenever Faeya acted up she was beaten by her parents verbally and physically. She was never to use her ability and once a school opened up for her, her parents basically packed her bags and sent her flying to England. She didn't mind one bit.
Personality: She is a feisty, stubborn girl; but also very caring and kind hearted. She doesn't show her kind side to many, but once she does she is very loyal and protective of that person. She is terrified when people raise their hand at her and is also terrified of sharp objects. She is very much an aggressor if she thinks something is morally unjust.
Abilities: She is able to control elements with her emotions and she is an empath
Downsides: depending on how strong the person's emotion is, it can actually change her emotion into the same emotion. She has no control over what happens once her emotions become too much, meaning if she is angry enough she might accidently set something on fire. Her eyes show when she's starting to become upset, so also a downside.
Affinity: She cares about humans, but wonders why seeing as humans have shown nothing but evil towards her.

I'm going to let one or two more people post before I post again :)

"A nightmare is nothing but the darkness in your soul speaking to you. Do not cower. Just listen..."

Name - Azazel Blackwood

Age - 19

Appearance - Height: 6'2. Weight: 190 lbs. Hair color: Black. Eye color: Amber.

History - London, 1780. In the raging chaos of a riot that roiled through a high class catholic neighborhood, a newly born infant was taken from his cradle and stolen away. Blood was spilled before burning churches and broken homes and many died before the riot finally came to an end. In the days that followed, the Blackwood family desperately searched for their missing child, using their fair amount of wealth to hire eyes and ears. On the third day of the search, just when hope had faded, the young child was found. However what they found upon the infants recovery caused distress among the family. For when they found the child, he laid silently content, covered in blood on top of a stone pedestal. Beneath him, adorning strange ritualistic clothing, were the corpses of seven men, all having apparently taken their own lives with daggers made of bone and metal. With no witnesses or survivors accept for the baby, there was nobody to explain what had happened. However those involved all felt it was an unholy event.

Many years passed and the child was raised normally, despite the disturbing nature of what had happened. His parents decided on the name Azazel, after his great grandfather, who was brother to the first head of the family, as well as the only other known ancestor to have amber eyes. Raised by many, taught by scholars, and trained by nobles, Azazel spent his youth being molded into a proper gentleman and a potential leader for the house of Blackwood. All up until the day the darkness within him awoke. For on the night of his sixteenth birthday, something was born from the shadow that followed young Azazel. Something that lashed out in his dreams and ripped its way from his mind into reality, bringing the walls of his bedroom down in a shattering explosion of dark force. With each day that followed, Azazel found himself experiencing more manifestations of this strange force, watching as the shadows of the trees and buildings bent and shook to his will. It bewildered him. But what he saw as a mystery, others saw as evil. As it was, a handful of rumors circled between the older of the families that the child was tainted with the soul of a demon by those that took him. These rumors stayed few and far between until Azazel was spotted with the dark silhouette of a shadow dancing at his fingertips. Before long, word spread, and Azazel ended up on the run. His family turned their back on him and his community hunted him.

In order to survive, Azazel embraced his powers, and concealed himself, keeping to the shadows and living off stolen goods. At nineteen, Azazel returned to his estate. Though he had been gone, he was not forgotten, and most certainly not welcomed. However those that had cast him out a time ago quickly fell before the horrific darkness that had been honed and strengthened over the years. By the time he was done, having visited those that wronged him, the only Blackwood to remain was himself. The wealth of the house became his inheritance and the property became closed off. Centuries have come and gone while history has become myth, yet the Blackwood estate has remained standing. Along side the many horror stories to leave it's gates, young Azazel has managed to survive and now, for whatever reason, has decided to seek out Deepwinter and the other proverbial freaks of the world.

Abilities - Dominion over Darkness: Azazel can empower any shadow and bend it to his will, allowing him to meld it into solid objects, weapons, structures, or familiars. He can even travel through the dark like a tunnel, moving from one shadow to another. The strength of this power wanes in the light and grows in its absence. Bright lights cause him pain when in direct contact with his skin or eyes.
Agelessness: With the passing of time, Azazel's physical appearance ceased to change. This began when his powers first awoke but didn't take full effect until just before his twentieth birthday, keeping him in the appearance of his adolescent self. Though he defies time, he will never know full adulthood, in spite of his continuously growing knowledge and maturity.

Affinity - TBR

Yeah, I think we have open slots especially if you want to make a teacher.

[Cryal]

Yes, please, someone make a teacher. I completely forgot to mention that.

[Morric]

I'll make a teacher gimmie a bit. lol I was wondering why things weren't moving XD. What subject is the class? Is it normal or like a supernatural ability studies class?

Edit:Let me re-ask that. Is this a supernatural school(as in all students have powers) or are those particular classes private? I haven't been able to make that out.

[Theodora_21]
