[OOC] Zandore's Boarding Academy

[Midori]

I like that Ryu decides that her breasts are her most notable feature and not her prosthetic legs.

[AlteredTundra]

Well, Ryu isn't some nutjob who stares false legs. :P

Name: Aoife Brady
Date of Birth: 14th of December, 1997
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Measurements:
5 foot, three inches.
54 kg

Personality: Aoife is one of those people that appear to be quiet and reserved from the exterior, but really, she can be quite pleasant and quirky. However, you'll never find her doing something that's borderline idiotic for attention. Having been brought up in a home where manners were enforced with an iron-will, she would never purposely be unpleasant to someone but if they were annoying her, she wouldn't be afraid to voice her displeasure, in a polite way, of course. If Aoife isn't making her way through her daily life, then chances are, she has a book in her hands. She's a total book-worm, spending hours burying herself in some dusty, old tome or a modern thriller. In particular, she could probably rhyme off various histories of nations that have come and gone in the world. This makes her seem a little introverted, and you would be partially correct but only in certain situations. Unlike most, her sleeping pattern is built around staying awake at night, strangely enough - not only does she enjoy the quiet of the dark but Aoife's downright infatuated with the moon.

History:
There's only a few places left in the world that magic is taken as a truth. Most places forgot long ago, replacing their beliefs of the supernatural with the facts of science and industry. Aoife was born in a place where magic was seemingly forgotten, the younger generations taking the old stories with a roll of their eyes and an indignant snort. It was her grandmother who told her all the old stories of Banshees and ancient ghosts, and it was her grandmother who helped her to understand her gift.

It only appeared as a birthmark initially, precariously placed on the inside of her wrist. The design was remarkably intelligent, a small wheel held together by thin strands of web. It was just labelled as "remarkable" and like all things that create a stir, people generally forgot about it and got on with their lives. Aoife wished she could have forgot, but a few days after the turn of her eighth birthday, she was cursed to remember pasts that never even belonged to her.

It was then that she was truly thankful of her grandmother, the woman helped her with her gift while her parents believed her to be demanding more attention. Attention was the last thing on her mind when she could see people's memories, painted out over a broad canvas every time she touched them. It was unbearably horrid, having to go through the horrors, secrets and private memories that she never deserved to see. It was a curse, as much as a gift.

Her and her grandmother kept it a secret though, her abilities, believing that they could be used for dark intents. How others found out, Aoife never really knew, but suddenly one day there they where, standing on her doorstep with their suits, ties and shaded-glasses. To the young girl, they meant trouble, but they were just there to document her powers and move on. She learned to live with her gift, using gloves and avoidance to make sure that it never had a massive input on her life. When the morning came that her official invitation to Zandore's academy arrived, she was initially confused, then excited, then a cold dread settled over her as she realised just why she was going there.

Subject:
- Fortune Telling
- Magic
- Politics
- Various Languages
- Various Histories

Preferred Housing: Academia

Unique Factor: « Arianrhod's curse »
Using her sense of touch, Aoife somehow is forced to channel someone's memories back towards herself, eagerly accepting them and displaying them for herself. Although the person involved never knows what is happening, the impact on Aoife can be quite disastrous.

Depending strangely, on the lunar cycle, the memories she receives can be categorised in terms of intensity. For example, on a new moon, she will be able to receive someone's happier thoughts - riding a bicycle for the first time, their first kiss etc. However, on a full moon, she can see their darkest memories in perfect light - the pain of losing a loved one, or a guilty secret. The problem with these memories is that when accepted, they can instantly cause her emotions to go haywire in confusion. The happy ones will cause her to almost be euphoric while the darker ones can cause anything from not being able to stop crying, to short bouts of depression. For that reason, some would label her as a little insane when she can suddenly break out in tears from seemingly nothing.

Oh, noice. So now there isn't as much of a difference in gender count. Animus should be logging on soon, and only a few more people need to post. Gonna grab a cup of joe.

[Spawnling]

To help things along, whenever I use < > around Victor's speech, he's speaking German. You can probably easily tell already, but his Japanese isn't top notch, so I'll be dropping words and using incorrect grammar for a lot of his speech.

Maybe he'll find someone to help him speak it better. *rubs hands together*

EDIT: I look forward to when we aren't just arriving at odd times and can actually interact with each other.

Yes. It is much better. No one likes a weirdo who stares at prosthetic legs. That's just creepy.

[Lord Santa]

I want to join this. Is there a physical education related subject or similar, by the way?

[Jedly]

Yeah, my character is taking it. Considered a science course.

[Lord Santa]

Alright, then. I'll work on my CS. Should I just throw it up when it's done?

[AlteredTundra]

That's what most of us did.

[Lord Santa]

Alright, here it is.
ID image:

Height: 5’10

Weight: 153 Pounds

Name: Johnson, Able

Nationality: English

Date of birth: 18/07/1997

Gender: Male

Personality: The first thing to note is that he’s blunt and can’t read the atmosphere. That said, he laughs most of the time and tries to break the ice more often than not. Can be obnoxious without meaning to be. A kind person, he has a strong sense of justice and makes friends easily. He also has no sense of danger.

History: Able was a normal child, born to normal parents. His aspiration when he was smaller was to be an astronaut. That said, he was obsessed with fast things as a child. Aeroplanes, cars, trains, even cheetahs. And one day, he found out he had a talent for running. This was back in the first year of high school, when he ran into some bullies, beating on a hapless victim. Of course, Able intervened. There, he found out about his increased physical capabilities. He didn’t have great reflexes, but he could take their punches almost without feeling it and punch someone so hard they went flat on the floor. But they called their friends so Able started running. He didn’t know for how long, but as the howls of the delinquents faded from his hearing, he was aware that he was running at equal speed to a train next to him. The train overtook him in the end, but this event inspired him. No longer would he admire fast things, he could become fast himself. He trained for the remainder of his high school days and won many awards for his athletic abilities. He also become something like a hero, as he saved many people with his higher-than-average physical abilities. That said, the training he went through stunted his studying abilities and he isn’t very smart. He’s not stupid, but he’s not as smart as he wants to be. He accepted the invitation to Zandore’s boarding academy to become smarter. Probably not a wise prospect in the end, but he’ll have fun doing it.

Subjects: Physics, Astronomy, Astrophysics, General PE.

Preferred Housing: West View

Unique Factor: <<Extreme Athletics>>
Able has superior physical abilities when compared to normal people, despite having an average build and being otherwise unremarkable. Normally, he has higher physical strength, speed and stamina compared to normal people, or even professional athletes. When he’s in a pickle, his physical prowess increases exponentially. He has shown superhuman strength, speed and endurance in times of trouble. His arm and leg strength increase dramatically, and he can probably run at top speed for hours if he needs to. His unique factor has allowed him to excel in any sports he plays.

Other: Susceptible to illusions and mind games (because he’s kind of stupid), does bad in studies. Learned Japanese for almost a year in preparation for Zandore’s boarding academy and can speak passable Japanese. Enough to hold normal conversation. Also, while sucking at most other subjects Able has a gift for physics.

All da activity +_+.

Aoife and Able are accepted.

Welp, I'm off for dinner and a movie so I'll get a post up when I'm back in a few hours. It will mostly be about interacting with the rest. The people who have to post are Shadylady and Potato+Santa who just got accepted. I'll give you guys till Sunday, 6pm GMT-8 to get your characters to the conference room before the briefing starts. No need to worry though, if you can't post by then we'll have your characters travel to the academy by an alternate route; I just don't want to keep everyone waiting when introductory posts have flexibility in them.
