[OOC] Hellsmoth State University

[TheUnknowable]

The first time you saw the commercial for Hellsmoth State, you knew you had to go there. You were captivated by it. As soon as you could, you applied, and were accepted.

When you got there, you realized from the course list that this was a rather strange college. Some that stood out were:
Runology: The study of the ancient Norse religious and magical practices and how they pertain to us today.
Astrology vs. Astronomy: A study of the stars from both a scientific and religious position.
Accept yourself: The psychology behind the fear of the unknown and the unusual. You are special. Learn to accept it.

You knew you were special from a young age, that there was something about you that made you different, whether you covered it up or used it. Now, however, you find an entire college full of people like that. The students here even refer to themselves by the names of mythological beings. Your roommate even asks you, what are you?

---

You didn't know until you came to college that you weren't entirely human. In fact, every year the college gets a few students that didn't know what they were. We are this year's crop of unknowns. We have to choose, do we accept what we are, or run from it?

@Satsuki

You can choose what you want to include in a CS, and if there is anything I feel is missing, I'll ask about it. I chose to do mine as a college application.

The following questions are hidden, as to not alert those that see it. Anything written in this
area will be invisible to most people.

Species: Human
Mystical abilities: Can spend hours at a time underwater, minor hypnotic ability via voice
How are you special: Hair always seems wet, and she gets sick if she actually DOES manage to dry off completely. Her eyes glow green if she's in the water. Can't stand saltwater.

Mendy was adopted by the Bowens. In the orphanage, she had the other children easily in her control. She scared a lot of the staff, and was rather bitter. However Mendy was adopted at the age of nine and ever since rarely uses her ability against others. Her mother constantly dotes on her, never bbeing able to bear any children on her own. She genuinely thinks Mendy is amazing. Her father on the other hand has always been a bit stand off-ish and weary. He suspects there is something different about her but still loves her. They were both thrilled she had picked a college to go to.

bump

[Roecoon]

so ...will most of this be taking place in class or between classes?

[TheUnknowable]

Out of class, though if several of us take a common class (say Accept Yourself) we'll do the class too.

[Roecoon]

Have I been accepted?

[TheUnknowable]

yeah, sorry about that. both of you are.

[WanderingShield]

As a warning to folks, I just received news of my father's death. I'll try to post as much as possible, but it may be a day or two between posts. Sorry.

[TheUnknowable]

That's fine. You go be with your family, and we'll be here when you get back.

Alessandra Lane

LEGAL NAME— Lane, Alessandra
DATE OF BIRTH— January 1, 1996
FAMILY— David Lane (deceased), unknown mother
RACE— White (Irish)
GENDER— Female
ACT SCORE— 32
EXTRA-CURRICULARS— Archery, horseback riding, various language clubs
LANGUAGES— English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Japanese, and Hindi
[profile picture to come]
SPECIAL—
Species: Human-Shifter cross
Mystical abilities: As a crossbreed between a human and a shifter, Alessandra has gained some of the better characteristics from both. She is an ideal 'blender'—she can change to suit any social environment. She can change her appearance at will, and has an excellent grasp of languages and dialects. At the moment, however, she is largely unaware of her special capabilities, as the changes in her appearance occur so slowly without her focusing on them as to be unnoticeable, and she only believes she has a talent for languages. With dedication, discipline, and focus, she will be able to one day quickly change her appearance in specific ways. Due to this shifting, she can also age (or de-age) at will, making her functionally immortal.
How are you special: Even without direct input, Alessandra's appearance, speech patterns, language, and mannerisms can change in minute ways to allow her to fit any group of people. As such, she's a great friend to many and leads many of the clubs she's a part of.

Alessandra's mother was a skilled shapeshifter—sadly, one who left soon after Allie was born, untraceable due to her powers. Her father David cared for his daughter as best he could, but always lived in fear that her abilities would one day show themselves. Fortunately for him, Alessandra remains largely unaware of her powers, and due to both his fear of her abilities and bitterness over the departure of her mother, he was fairly distant from her as a child. Because of this, Alessandra spent most of her time out of the house, learning languages and meeting people.

hope that's alright!
