@RoflsMazoy I'm making a character, just been a bit busy with family stuff and whatnot. I don't mind missing the opening post, however, so as long as you don't mind me missing it I can start a bit later than everyone else.
Faction/club: School council (Treasurer), Band (Color guard)
Power: Roy is capable of emitting blinding flashes of light from his fingertips. Though they possess no heat or force behind them, each bolt of light is easily capable of dazzling and confusing its target. This attack is capable of inflicting permanent damage to the cornea, though it would take several minutes of prolonged exposure to make a noticeable effect on someone's sight. This attack is capable of penetrating eyelids, hands, cloth, plastic, and almost all forms of glass. Powers that manipulate light can somewhat reduce the intensity of Roy's beams, though it cannot redirect them.
Roy Bivvens' school career prior to the past few years was largely uneventful, prior to his admittance to Kagetora High School. As Kagetora was the closest institution to Roy Bivvens' family, it was chosen as the best option.
Roy's first year at Kagetora High School was a wretched quagmire of ill-advised mistakes, very narrowly ending with Roy hospitalized at several points. In his sophomore year, Roy opted to join the school's marching band, more specifically the color guard. Under the guidance of the color guards' director, a wispy-haired art teacher by the name of Nobuyuki Johnson, Roy learned to assert himself and move with confidence. Through applying Nobuyuki's teachings to his daily life, Roy managed to not only increase his social standing, but boost his grades. As a matter of fact, the increase in Points was sufficient to grant Roy a breadth of goods and services, that he liberally helped himself to. The single most useful service Roy used was the school's "Unlimited Printing" principle-- for a nominal fee, Roy could print whatever he wanted for no price whatsoever.
With a theoretically infinite supply of fliers at his fingertips, Roy promptly lobbied for a position as the Treasurer of the Student Council. The previous holder of the position, a nervous-looking technopath by the name of Andrew Stibbons, was all too happy to relinquish his standing in exchange for being freed from the bureaucratic hell that was being the Treasurer. And so, Roy had earned a spot on the Student Council, while still maintaining a placement in the Color Guard.
Unfortunately for Roy, Kagetora High School's myriad ethical issues finally came to wreak their dues mere weeks after Roy stepped into his position. Uncountable legal fees and budget cuts ruined the school's financial stability, parents began withdrawing and transferring their students en masse, and a dearth of new students very nearly starved the school of funding. With this shocking loss of money came intense budget cuts for the school's extracurricular activities. Without nearly enough money for equipment, the school's marching band drastically reduced its activities, and practice sessions gradually slowed to a crawl-- by March, the marching band only had enough money to perform twice a year. Likewise, the drought of funding forced Roy to think extremely carefully when setting the Student Council's monthly budget. A combination between Student Council realpolitik and incessant money troubles very nearly drove Roy mad with stress.
Nowadays, Roy is nearly the spitting image of Andrew Stibbons. With wringing hands and grinding teeth, Roy is easily-irritable yet wholly-unwilling to engage in violence. Feeling that nobody can possibly understand the issues with being the school's Treasurer, Roy never hesitates to speak his mind and lash out in anger.
Do the individual factions have a defined leader or is it just a coalition between the leaders of each of the collective clubs?
If there was someone among them that was definitely the strongest, then they'd be the leader. That would probably be the case with the Fighters but not so much with the Imperial Regiment, and the Coalition of Ichor is actually a coalition so :P

Right, got it! I'm probably gonna make a leader for the Kendo Club. Maybe someone strategic who wishes to unite the Imperial Regiment under her control so she can blitz everyone else? Maybe...

If Roy so chooses, he can emit light of a significantly lower intensity, of any frequency and color.

The single most useful service Roy used was the school's "Unlimited Printing" principle-- for a nominal fee, Roy could print whatever he wanted for no price whatsoever. Indeed, Roy Gerald Bivvens was one of the few students to have built up a respectable stable of points exclusively from schoolwork and extracurricular activities.
As a matter of fact, Roy Gerald Bivvens' grade record has improved massively after Freshman year. Where, in his very first year, Roy would only score an average 70% on assignments and 75% on exams, those numbers have skyrocketed to an easy 100% and 92%, respectively. Coupled with a rather spartan lifestyle and an adamant refusal to spend any money on fights and showing off, Roy had earned a truly legendary amount of points.
However much he wanted to rise to a prestigious position in the school, Roy was unfortunately beaten out by another candidate. However unusual it seemed, the antisocial loner in front of him was granted a seat on the student without an election or an interview. As more intellectual students either graduated or transferred out, no new ones replaced them. Instead, the school was rapidly turned over to a majority of students who gained their points and ranking almost exclusively from combat, with few people developing themselves through studying and homework. Embittered and confused, Roy opted to find satisfaction elsewhere. It was here that he found the Boxing Club.
With his little-known reputation, habit for theatrics, and color-based powers, Roy found a job as a showman for the Boxing Club's promotional events. For an amount of Points paid by the audience and determined by how well the fight was, Roy was paid to give colorful commentary on fights, spotlight spectacular moments, and advertise future shows. As the announcer for each show, Roy was vital for the operation of the Boxing Club, but found himself constantly worrying about his expendability. Terrified of being replaced with a better announcer, Roy feverishly attempted to make friends with the star players in the Boxing Club, with mixed success. Though his voice is well-recognized, and he is paid very well for his showings, Roy is wracked with delusions of worthlessness.
Thanks for fixing that up, but there are a couple more minor things.
With that amount of points, Roy should definitely be a senior (3rd year) by now considering the fact that assuming you scored perfectly on all your exams and assessments and there are about 6 other assesments per subject per year and the average student does 6 subjects, you could only get a maximum 96,000 points a year from school work only.
Also, technically the score 'total' is your Rank and the 'current' score is Points, as explained in the Score section of the OP. And also the highschool is named Kagetora.
Roy would indeed be a Senior, hence why he's 17. Considering how, to get the level of points some other characters here have, one would need to get straight A's and bet a significant amount of their points at every fight and win every fight, a completely arbitrary number would fit better. The unusual difference in points will be explained away reasonably.

My point was your Year level was listed as 'junior'
Status report on that first post: I'm about halfway done. The first post is taking place just after school's ended and club activities start, so about 4 o'clock or somewhere along those lines. Plan accordingly.
