[OOC] The Northwood Academy of Excellence

[Kirah]

Sharon and Ash would get along quiet well, too well I fear.

[AuntFlavia]

Muahaha, let's hope so. >:) Let the two cause havoc.

[cerozer0]

Welp, Hazel is done. Do't mind the crappy bio, I'm so bad at writing back stories hehe

[AuntFlavia]

I like the bio. Now, the first thing all of our characters need to do is go out after dark and swim in the lake and run around the forest and go through all the no entry doors. :3

[deadpixel101]

Name: Lexie C. Belle

Age: 15

Year: 3

Normal or Supernatural: Supernatural: Spirit-walker: An entity who is able to enter an ethereal state, where they can fly, phase through objects, and become invisible. Being in this form takes energy, and such it is done for limited amounts of time. Cannot tough things while in this form unless they are specifically enchanted to be able to.

Personality: Lexie is a bright girl. She is observant and stays quiet. She isn't terribly shy, she just doesn't make much of a move to be social. She enjoys her alone time but appreciates being around friends. She is at times a little too un-confident, so much so in fact that she will give up on some things before trying them. She will tend to change without noticing how she speaks depending on who she is with, but some of her true personality is always present. A follower and a tad naive, yet not an idiot.

Bio: Honestly not much to say really, she grew up in a relatively normal household. Sure her brother is a little creepy at times, but her parents didn't let him bring anyone too filthy into the house. Her parents, by the way, have lived a decently happy marriage for nearly 20 years. They fight rarely (Dad drinks to relieve stress) but things are pretty tame. Lexie was always encouraged to follower her aspirations, and being enrolled into different classes with her passing fancies gave her a very open and willing to try new things attitude. Being and avid reader, Lexie learned about many things, eventually going from practical to not to so practical. Knowing what sort of seaweed is edible has yet to serve any real role in her life, but knowing how to perfectly execute an old magic ritual, has. Her curiosity getting the better of her Lexie took some chemicals from the science lab, some plants from the yard, and some money for more supplies from her brother, she set up the "transformation circle" in her room. Needles to say, after succeeding once, she didn't try again. Suddenly receiving an invitation away from curious and worried friends, Lexie left for the academy. Hoping to figure what she had made herself into, and what it meant for her.

How you came to the school: Transferred in last year.

Preferred Dorm: Doresy Hall (Drawn to supposed ghost and hauntings)

Ahhhh~ Back from being gone for a month or so.

Ignore all my writers rust.

Jamie Drummond

NAME: James “Jamie” Drummond
AGE: 16
YEAR: 2nd

NORMAL OR SUPERNATURAL?
Supernatural – “Luck” or otherwise the art of making it through something by the skin of his teeth. (Perhaps it has to do with probabilities and an instinctual knowledge of them. Either way, Jamie has learned from past mistakes the dangers of relying on it too much.)

PERSONALITY:
Jamie is the type to hate normality – he finds that a life without change and excitement is too mundane, too stagnant for him. He chases after thrills like a dog with a stick (minus the tongue-wagging). No danger is too huge, no task impossible for the courageous Jamie Drummond!

They say that Jamie is not quite right, that he doesn't look before he leaps and charges in like a bull. He's easy-going, certainly, but that doesn't mean he is mindful of his surroundings and those in it. His closest friends are the ones who can keep up with him, and those who can't... well, they're not worth his interest. His utter lack of care towards his academic work (and obsession over the practical) is by no means a reflection of his intellect; however, his common sense has vanished – if it even existed in the first place.

A true extrovert, he doesn't like to be alone nor does he like to see it in others. He's also oh-so-very loud.

BIO:
Born into a particularly wealthy Scottish family with a good reputation for business and a notorious one for scandals, Jamie had big shoes to fill. Tutored at home in addition to his normal Primary School work throughout all of his childhood years, it wasn't an excessively happy time and he lacked the freedom most children were given; however, his parents felt it necessary – not as naturally clever as many of his brothers and sisters, a head for business had to be drilled into him.

Even so, he always noticed something was different about himself, and so did others. His parents called him a “leprechaun” for his abnormally good luck, untamed and uncontrolled when he was younger. If he desperately wanted something (like to win), he would – barely. His grades were consistently just above the pass mark every time, no matter where it was set at, and even waking up at the latest possible moment to go to school he would always somehow make it. It all came to a head in one particular incident at age eleven: a car accident with him as the pedestrian where he survived miraculously unscathed.

It was only when he started stretching the limits of his strange luck that it began to fail him (and as a result, he began to fail his tests). Quickly he shut it off – clearly it only 'guided' him so he still had to study, or wake up early enough to get to class – and after he grew up into a teenager, he honestly forgot all about it. It was just an overactive imagination trying to think of himself as something special, or at least, that's what he told himself.

Once enrolled in Northwood Academy on the suggestion of his aunt, he continued to pull a 'barely passing' GPA at 3.1, teeter around four tardies out of five, barely make curfew and survive all in all through sheer luck alone. The only thing he seems truly talented in is sports -- most if not all kinds.

HOW YOU CAME TO THE SCHOOL:
Enrolled from Year 1 onwards.

PREFERRED DORM:
Wells Hall

Luca Seacliffe

NAME: Luca Seacliffe
AGE: 15
YEAR: 1st Year

NORMAL OR SUPERNATURAL?
A supernatural with particularly mundane talents. She is something of a trickster with an abnormal talent for misdirection and confusion.

PERSONALITY:
Luca is, without a doubt, a girl with too few marbles and an insatiable curiosity for places considered off limits. She appears immature for her age, still caught up in the carefree imagination of childhood where pranks and magic tricks are more than enjoyable. She has not grown out of that phase, still a precocious kid with too many questions rather than a young woman supposedly on the cusp of adulthood. While intelligent, she doesn't quite understand social norms and is an unrepentant tomboy.

BIO:
Luca Seacliffe is the illegitimate daughter of an extremely wealthy businessman and a 'woman of loose morals' (or at least, that's what her mother calls herself) – her household was of average income at best but as an only child she did not have any competition for affection or toys. Even so, her mother was often busy; Luca amused herself from a young age with television and magic sets that were old Christmas present. By ten, she was already designing her own to emulate those she saw in the media.

She had a brief taste of fame in a local newspaper back home in Carlisle, for her winning act in a talent show and since then she had wanted more. Her mother moved to America, however, taking the young star in the making with her and allowing her brief reputation to fall into obscurity. Luca was enrolled into the Northwood Academy of Excellence for her prodigious grades; however, it came with a warning that her social skills left much to be desired.

HOW YOU CAME TO THE SCHOOL:
First year student this year.

PREFERRED DORM:
Dorsey Hall – she likes the mystery.

Yooo long time no see, Haggis (;

[IAmThea]

All are accepted so far! I love all these creative supernatural beings.

AuntFlavia said
His sister Sharon manages him now; he usually starts to sleepwalk before the change, during which she sneaks him out of his room to the nearest secluded forested area and chains him to a tree before his transformation can take place. This is her plan for the year as they both head for Northwood Academy. (Whether or not this plan will actually work, I guess it's up to IAmThea to decide.)

I don't see a problem with it. Just keep in mind that there are faculty members that monitor the dorms and grounds at night, so make sure it's sneaky!

Also, my CS will be up very soon!

EDIT: I will also be putting all the characters so far into the roster so no worries!

[Kirah]

I'm going to make a normal human too. I'll add her to the same post that Ash is on FYI.

[McHaggis]

Eyyy, Liiria! I feel like I'm seeing a ton of people I recognise from other RPs here.

[AuntFlavia]

Same here. Liriia, were we in an Rp together at some point? Getting deja vu...

[cerozer0]

I joined so many murder mysteries...I can't even remember all the different ones. It must've either been the one where my character was the russian cop or the one where I was the adorable chunky kids show host. Who knows. Either way, RIP, Rps.

Edit: Yup. It was the avatar that did it. Xp

[Kirah]

Okay Amy has been added to the same post that Ash is on....
Oh I just realized both of them have A names *face desk*

It's cool, who doesn't love alliteration?

[AuntFlavia]

Double post. Whoops.

[IAmThea]

Ah, I realize I have also forgotten to mention that all dorms are divided as in each floor is either all boy or all girl. Thought I should maybe clarify that....

[AuntFlavia]

Gotcha. So Sharon's gotta be super extra ultra sneaky.

Are you going to have it 3 nights as the full moon lasts 3 nights? Or just the middle night? There is precedent for both.
