@Cat

No problem. I just thank you both for your responses.

Oh, stuff happens. Everyone knows how that goes xD

[hagroden]

Is 6 people enough to start?

[Sugar and Spite]

@hagroden We currently have 4 characters, I need to move mine on to the character tab. However, I was sort of hoping that @Obscene Symphony was going to create her character as well. We could possibly start tomorrow if everyone agrees?

[hagroden]

That sounds good to me!

In The Mirror

In Depth Appearance:
Standing at 5'0", Luka is considered quite short for a male of his age and is often pointed out on this fact. However, Luka is proud of his height. He refuses to allow people taller than him assist him if he is unable to reach something. He will climb if he has too. Though he does get put out when people constantly point out the fact that he is short. Luka's hair seems to have a mind of its own, preferring to rest atop his head in messy curls. He does try to tame it but it resists his every effort and so he eventually just gives up and lets it do what it will. Luka's physique could be described as slender and even so far as calling it petite. He has some muscles but they are lean and compliment his small body. He weighs around 100lbs and doesn't seem to gain weight no matter what he eats due to his fast metabolism.

He has no body modifications because a) he doesn’t have the money for it and b) he’s terrified of needles so there is no way he would ever get a tattoo or a piercing.

Clothing Style:
Luka tends to become cold rather easily so his wardrobe consists of sweaters and collared shirts as well as t-shirts, both short and long sleeve and jeans. However, he abhors shorts and refuses to even consider putting them in his closet. Swimming trunks are a different matter in his eyes as he has quite a few pairs of those trunks neatly into his closet. He mostly wears converse though he has a few pairs of slip-on shoes when he doesn't feel up to tying laces that day. He also has a collection of beanie's that is ever-growing.

Personality:
Sweet ♦ Kind ♦ Shy ♦ Stubborn ♦ Caring
Luka is normally described as a kind and caring individual. He tends to put others needs before his own and won't hesitate to help someone if he feels they are in need of assistance. He also has his shy moments where he tends to look at the ground and not really talk to anyone. He gets nervous when meeting new people and doesn't speak much until he gets to know them better. Despite all of this, Luka has a stubborn streak and will not budge if he sets his mind to something. He's not one to anger easily but once he is watch out because he can have quite the temper and is not afraid to give you a piece of his mind. Of course, afterwards he will be completely mortified by what he said and will apologize profusely to the person he grew angered at. If he thinks they deserve it that is. If he feels you completely had what was coming to you, not one word of apology will leave his lips though secretly he will still feel rather bad about it. Another trait of Luka's is that he has a bad habit of bottling up his problems so the people around him will not worry. Even if he is having the worst day imaginable he will still put on a smile and say everything is fine.

Background:
Growing up, Luka never knew his real father, the man having left when he discovered Luka's mother was pregnant. When his mother's parents found she was pregnant at just 18, they disowned her and therefore it was up to her to raise Luka all on his own. His mother named him what she did because Luka means "light". He was her light, keeping her spirits up even in the darkest time. As Luka grew older, he vowed he would protect his mother. However, despite his best efforts, when a man came along expressing interest in his mother Luka was unable to do anything. The man, John he was called, had a steady job and seemed like a nice guy. Luka's mother fell right into his lap. However, after they got married just a few months after meeting, John's true colors began to show.

No longer was he the smiling man who offered to take Luka out for ice cream. Instead he wasted all their money on alcohol and ordered Luka's mother around. This soon began to have an effect on his mother and soon their night-time readings. His mother would grow angry whenever Luka would mention maybe leaving John and she didn't even bat an eye when John grew violent and took to abusing Luka, both physically and mentally. Every night Luka prayed it was all a bad dream and it would all go away. When Luka turned 17 everything changed. His mother and John received a letter accepting him to Riverdale and they didn't hesitate in ordering him to pack his bags and sent him off in a taxi.

Extra:
He doesn’t like people touching him suddenly. As well, he has night-terrors about his past and he doesn’t like talking to anyone about his history either.

[Obscene Symphony]

Linta Höhyener

Name: Linta Höhyener

Nickname: Lyn

Appearance:

Hider

thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/outdoors-city-..
(Sorry about the watermarks :/)

Linta stands at a lofty (for a woman) 5’9, weighing 120 lbs. Long and slender, she projects grace and discipline in all she does. She generally wears earthy tones, often with form-fitting bottoms and looser tops. Wears her hair in a french braid more often than not.

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Asexual until proven otherwise

Power: Shifter,

Barn Owl.

Linta has mastered her owl form, and has strived to use her abilities to the fullest. She can move near-silently in human form, and entirely silent in owl form (barn owls have specially designed feathers that are so quiet that even the owl’s own incredible ears can’t hear them). In both forms she has excellent hearing and sight, though in human form her senses are somewhat duller (though better than an average human) and she is also very light and sound sensitive.

Grade in School: Recent graduate, now works in the school as a tutor. She teaches avian shifters to fly (they don’t know immediately, of course) and most types of shifters how to take advantage of their abilities.

Extra Curricular Activities/Hobbies:
-Tutor (paid/housed by the school)
-Founded and runs the school’s Aerobatics club (a group of avian shifters who compete with each other for their finesse in flight)
-Helps coach the school’s dance team (although she cannot participate)

Body Modifications?: Linta walks with a carefully hidden limp, favouring her right leg, a result of an old injury. The pain leaves her in her owl form, part of the reason she loves it so much.
Linta also has a simple, script tattoo reading “The higher we soar, the smaller we seem to those who cannot fly.” in Finnish.

Personality: Linta is a reserved person, capable of powerful emotion, but not very quickly. She has a coldness to her that is more fascinating than it is deterring, like watching a wild animal from afar, longing to approach. She grows attached to people over time, often her students, and loves to see how they learn and grow, and strives to help them succeed. That’s not to say she’ll coddle them - she’ll kick butt if she thinks it’ll work.

Brief History: Linta grew up in a strict military household. Her parents were immigrants from Finland, but Linta herself is Canadian. Growing up, her parents put her and her younger brother, Jay, in various competitive activities: for Linta it was ballet, riding, music, martial arts and local cadets. She was destined to attend a military school when she turned fifteen (not to mention that she had an excellent future in competitive dance ahead of her), but merely six months before, during an intensive dance practice, she landed improperly and suffered a severe broken ankle. It took abnormally long to heal, due to multiple complications, and while her leg was rendered useable, it was clear that she would never dance again, and her joint would not withstand the stress of military training.

Linta’s parents, their hopes dashed, did the next best thing they could think of: sent her to Riverdale in hopes that a rigorous year-round curriculum would whip her into the shape of a doctor or a lawyer. The rest is pretty much history: she discovered her newfound power there, and learned to love her newfound freedom of flight, and the relief of her chronic joint pain. It was in her second year that she founded the Aerobatics club, for her and other avian shifters to truly test their limits and hone their flight skills. It was a success, and is one of the favoured school activities for avians. After graduation, instead of reuniting with her now-estranged family to attend some stiff university where she would have to hide her ‘true’ form, she elected to remain with Riverdale and help other students reach their full potential.

Anything else we need to know?: Linta misses dancing, along with many other activities that her leg has rendered impossible. A curious dance team member may stay after practice hours to sneak a peek of her trying to perform old moves, engraved in muscle memory, only to see her collapse in pain and frustration soon after.
