In the world of the present, the work of a single assassin can shape the world, from brutal amateurs, to ruthless professionals, down to the silent assassins. The art of killing is a both a precious tool and a preserved ideology. Thus, it is not surprising for some to pass on their deadly skills and talents on to the next generations to keep the art alive. As the years began to drift towards the future, facilities devoted to the art of assassination have been overshadowed by one particular establishment. Rumors floating around in certain social circles, whispering of a special Academy that only accepts very special students with certain skills.
This place is named, убийца академия.
Those that are admitted into this academy are chosen after being watched by certain people linked to the academy, students receive education that they need or that they request, students also learn the basics of assassination and how to hone their skills to make them the best at what they do. Once per year there is a tournament within the school, a final rite of passage for certain graduating seniors.
It is called Ubiystvo komandy.
This tournament is a free-for-all competition where each senior must battle one another for the chance to battle the members of the elite Student Council of the academy. Class Winter. It is there where the advanced arts of assassination and deceit are taught and the senior who can best their superiors leave the Academy with ultimate knowledge of assassination, the tournament's rules are changed each year by both class Winter and the Academy's Head director.
Of course, you still have a long time before that happens. As a recently accepted student into yбийца Academy, you will be trained in the art of combat, espionage, and the doctrine of an assassin. One may only take a life when there is no other solution, death isn't the only answer for assassin; one must never attack a comrade with the intentions to kill. That is your code and that is your new life. But as you become stronger, dark forces will gather to challenge you, to pervert and twist your very mind. Will you fight? Will you survive ? Only time will tell if you have what it takes to become an assassin and depart from the academy in one piece.
Listen up now, because class is in session.

This role play was inspired by TheWindel's Gakuen Kill and the school's daily schedule was copied from KoL's Angel beats unendingbeat.
Personality: Always about making a scene when not at work, Paulo enjoys putting on a good show for anyone who would watch. He's a bit of a diva, always putting his two cents in everyone's business and getting offended if they say anything poor or even neutral about him. He is very flaky when it comes to his interests, being very interested for a week at a time and then dropping most things, the only reason he's a magician is because he got too invested in it to quit. A natural flirt as well, with... confusing tastes in partners. He's never truly been in a relationship but he's lead many a person on of every gender under the sun, but claims to be straight. Life is a game to Paulo, and he's the only person he's ever met who's not a chess piece to be used and then tossed aside, so don't be offended if he treats you as such.
Bio: Most people as troubled mentally as Paulo have a troubled life, but Paulo was born to Sicilian parents, working closely with the mafia that would keep the governments filthy hands off of him. His family was not high up in ranks in the criminal organization but they were high enough that they were treated well, and the family butchery was freely run with no competition. This brought i enough money for the young paulo's first dog and it's second and third replacement after they had mysteriously all died. This kind of thing was common around Paulo, but his ability to make the dogs disappear after he took their lives showed promise to a watchful eye working in the recruitment department for his next school.
From dogs it escalated. Paulo brought a young girl home, she was beautiful for a 14 year old and so smart and promising. She was loved by many but Paulo courted her better than the rest with his charm. He had been practicing magic for 7 years now and his hands could do things you wouldn't imagine. A quick flick of the wrist and a gash appeared in her throat as she went to kiss him, the blood flowing into the bouquet of flowers held against her neck as the life drained from her eyes. Her body dropped after a short time, the only sign of blood was inside the cut. Her body was never found, aside from the watchful eye of the recruiter.
This was three days before he was sent away to the school, he quickly loved where he was. He got to do to the pawns of the world what he loved and would eventually even get paid for it! Imagine, picking the rotten fruit from the tree of life for money! He knew he was not to murder anymore, as it was drilled into his head from day one, so he didn't mess with anyone at the school, but the itch in his mind found a new way of escaping. He enjoyed playing with the food he couldn't eat and has successful persuaded most of his grade and the grade above to get close to him, only to leave them hanging when they get too close just to watch them squirm. He's got a good job lined up back home in the mafia as a hit man, but he needs to graduate first.
Weapon: A ring with a spool of cheese wire inside, perfect for a quick laceration or strangulation.
Equipment: Bullet proof suit- Full of pockets Magic wand- A black hollow stick with white caps on either side, full of chloroform Razor-edged deck of cards A dead dove- his callng card, it's not kept on him unless he is being sent out to kill someone, it's hidden under his hat in one of it's many many pockets
Skills: High level magician, naturally charismatic and knows how to butcher most animals, expert level sleight of hand.
Talents: Misdirection- His movements are hard to guess, and can lead attacks that never hit while his real hits come up unexpectedly
Showman's Guise- No matter what is going on, Paulo can maintain his composure, his leg could break or his gut impaled but his face and tone won't show it.
Intuition- Paulo has many pockets filled with many things, yet he always seems to pick the right one, even when it's not his own pocket, and always seems to pull out just the right thing.
Other: He is very manipulative in relationships, easily classified ad as being abusive in all three caregories (Mental, verbal and physical). His abusive tendencies are known to some, but most don't believe a word of it given how charming he is.
Gareth is rather a timid guy, but he's not a coward. Whenever possible, he likes to avoid unnecessary confrontations, but when forced to deal with them then he improvises. If all negotiations fail, then he fights with hit and run tactics mainly because he is afraid of getting hurt himself. His lack of confidence greatly affects him in battle. He tries so hard to overcome it by masking himself as a happy energetic guy ready to take on the world, but his old habits tends to kick in eventually to remind himself that he is not really that brave.
The moment an opportunity opens up, he hesitates to take advantage of it, thinking it would backfire on him and make the situation worse. This kind of thinking also applies to outside of battle where he would have trouble asking a girl out or even simply picking what clothes to wear for the day. He is extremely cautious and vigilant on his decision making and actions which causes him to take forever to make his next move. As a result, his test scores are rather low simply because he never finishes them on time.
All Gareth needs is a little positivity to unlock his full potential, if he can somehow be inspired or motivated by something related to the situation then he can temporarily overcome his timidness. However, the moment something negative happens he just instantly reverts back to his nervous self. It would be rather comical to others just watching Gareth shift back and forth between his emotions.
Bio
Gareth had no intention of joining an assassin academy of any kind, but his friend 'persuaded' him to tag along with her. Emma was her name, a dear friend to Gareth for about four years. She was the one who wanted to be an assassin not Gareth, she was undoubtedly more courageous than him by a large margin. During his time in the academy, he did feel quite out of place compared to the other students. Maybe it was because of her, that he was able to get through the first year.
Around the start of the second year, tragedy struck Gareth when he found out Emma was supposedly killed during one of her assassination missions. Without her, Gareth thought he would get kicked out of the academy for his poor performance. His teachers had low expectations of him being a true assassin and was easily out shined by other candidates. One day he was forced to take a test determining whether or not he should be allowed to continue his stay at the academy. When the test was over, the teachers were rather surprised by the results and allowed him to continue his studies. Could it be that at his peak, he can easily surpass the rest of his class? When Gareth got the results himself, only one thing went through his head...
Holy fuck! I can't believe I passed! What a stroke of luck!
Weapons
A Tanto and a 1911 Pistol w/ suppressor
Equipment
-A Cellphone -Rubber bullet mags for his pistol -Headphones -MP3 player
Skills
Agility- His hit and run tactics require him to move in and out fast before the enemy is able to react to him. Additionally it allows him to change his position often to confuse the enemy of his current location, opening up for long range variations of his technique.
Marksmanship- Shooting from a distance is his comfort zone. Even while moving at a fast pace, he is capable of having a steady aim at his target. More reliable than his swordsmanship skills.
Swordsmanship- Casual training with a blade time to time, much better than being unarmed in his opinion.
Patience- His long thought decision making can allow him to drag out a fight and delay the enemy to buy enough time for his friends. Although this is nullified when there's a time limit of some sort, causing him to go into a panic mode.
Adrenaline Rush- The power of positivity can allow him to temporarily forget about his weaknesses in order to reach the height of his power. Nullified instantly by negativity.
Colette is the youngest daughter of a wealthy family and it shows in her mannerisms. She is used to getting what she wants from her father, thus she is spoiled and self-centered, but being the youngest of 5 takes its toll when she had to fight to get attention. She has all older brothers so she was her father's "little girl" and was coddled, much to the delight of her brothers who teased her.
Despite her spoiled nature, she is fiercely loyal to her family and friends. When challenged, she doesn't back down easily if it means restoring her or her family's name. She is close to those she wants to be close to and pushes others away she doesn't want anything to do with.
She is headstrong and determined. Some would call her pushy, but she knows what she wants and sets out to get it (if only to prove to others she doesn't need to rely on Daddy's money).
Bio:
Colette is the youngest of the 5 Bellamy children and is the only girl in her family home, having lost her mother shortly after her birth. Their father is a respected member of the community and is known for his expert swordsmanship in the various fights that France has fought in. Thus, his children have all been trained in the art of the sword, though each child has chosen a particular sword style. For Colette, she had a natural affinity for the rapier, even though it is a more defensive weapon, she found its lightness and quickness easy for combat.
Colette's father cared greatly for his little girl and was determined to pry her away from battle and instead give her a different life, but Colette, with much pressure from her older brothers, was determined to be the best sword fighter she could be and trained extensively. Her older brothers teased her and challenged her often and she never backed down. Each brother bested her easily, but that only added fuel to the fire.
Their father wanted one child to be the head of the Bellamy home when he would eventually pass, and that child must be the best fighter of the family. So far, Collette's oldest brother, Jaime, has been the one to hold the title. Jaime uses a longsword and shield in battle and has managed to best his brothers and sister when challenged by them. Colette knew she wanted the title, but she needed to train and be better. She knew she had to acquire a certain set of skills in order for that to happen.
It was then that Colette heard about the School for Assassins and decided to join up with them, hoping to earn her place among their elite and eventually overtake her brother and prove herself to her father.
-Graceful: Colette is very nimble and agile, able to gracefully move on the battleground with ease. -Duelist: Colette uses her rapier more defensively than offensively, being able to block and counter oncoming attacks. -Upbringing: Colette is able to blend in with the Crème de la Crème of society; the noble, the wealthy, upper class. -Determination: Colette has razor focus when on assignment With the goal in mind, it would take an unexpected event to get her to lose her focus.
Nationality: Saeko is half Russian, half Japanese - though she has been living in Russia for as long as she can remember.
Personality: Saeko is... A mixture of different personalities, with not all of the, being good per say.
One part, and the largest of them all, is a mild Tsundere closet pervert. Not to mention she has a bit of a God or Superiority Complex when it comes to pretty much anyone. If you want a relationship with her, you're gonna be put through your paces.
She has a bit of a habit of just saying things - and I mean, anything. She is completely and utterly oblivious to conversation atmosphere, and will happily say the most offensive of things without a second thought.
Thirdly, she is an underlying psychopath who secretly enjoys hurting and killing people. She considers assassination as an art form much greater than that of painting or poetry - the pinnacle of beauty through seen action.
And, finally - whilst sort of in private - she elicits a bit of Chuunibyou behaviour. She is seemingly fascinated with runes and runic spell casting, which coupled with her ability is an odd combination.
Bio: Saeko was born half Russian and half Japanese; into a family of less well known, but well respected Assassins. From as young as she can remember, she was trained in armed and unarmed combat, as well as being taught how to wield several different types of firearms like a professional. Somehow, she had a natural knack for doing such things, and her family had high hopes.
At the age of 13, she was enrolled into a secret underground training camp for young assassins. Of course, as a female, she was regarded as inferior by the males - who made up the majority of trainees. On the second day, she killed a kid who called her weak and challenged her to a fight. The people who ran the the school quickly placed her at the top of the class and trained specially as opposed to the others.
At 14, she was set on her first contract - kill some that had been causing trouble for the school. It would have been simple, if the guy wasn't a trained soldier who could snap Saeko's neck in 17 different places - all at the same time.
However, they set Saeko to do the task anyway; not because they believed that she could kill him, but because they wanted to get rid of someone who posed a threat to the school itself.
She returned 5 hours later with a scratch on her cheek - the guys ears, eyes and teeth all placed in a jar to be verified. During the battle, Saeko learned that she had a secret talent… One that set her apart from every other assassin.
She could manipulate light in certain ways to create optical illusions based on herself and the areas around her. Over a year, she completed several dozen contracts before the academy contacted her. At age 15 she would be placed in the second year, and train to become a professional contract killer.
Weapon: Saeko carries around two identical butterfly knives, with ornately carved waterproof wooden handles. The blade inside each is polished regularly with a dull bronze colouring similar to the wood used.
As well, she carries a Springfield XDM Compact with an extended magazine - for those pesky targets that ignore her illusions and stay at a distance.
Equipment: Aside from her knives and gun, Saeko carries around very little. What she does have, though, is a whetstone to sharpen her blades, several extra clips of ammo as well as some loose bullets, two fingerless gloves lined with metal wiring and bottle of odd vile of colourless liquid.
Skills: Saeko was - from a young age - trained to handle guns and bladed weapons. She is extremely proficient in wielding bladed weapons - as well as unarmed combat -, whilst also being deadly accurate when wielding a firearm of pretty much any type. Besides that, she is close to being an expert and silently poisoning people, as well as adept at seduction and voice imitation.
Talents: Saeko's ability, if you will, is the distortion of perceptible light to make her self look like someone or something else. It affects anyone who can see her, and anyone who looks upon her during the distortion will be affected as well. There are two limitations to the ability - the first is that Saeko must be able to picture herself as that person or object. The second is that the ability is only an illusion, so under the light distortion Saeko is still there in the physical world.
Epithet: Hornet. "Hornets are the worst. Once one is in the room, it's hard to find and impossible to catch, and if you're not careful, you'll get a sting you'll never forget." -Matt
Age: 18
School Year: Third
Gender: M
Appearance: Medium height and build. Dark brown hair combed back. Black eyes. Wears a dark blue zip-up jacket, black pants and black combat boots with black gloves. A padded tactical chest and back harness hold spare magazines and a knife. Wears black-lens sunglasses, but only if he actually needs them.
Nationality: German-American
Personality: Matt is generally reserved and works on his own, but he treats people with respect. If you're friendly, he's friendly. If you're a pain, he's gone. He isn't a loner and doesn't avoid people; he just takes his work seriously, and the people around him could leave one day and never be seen again. For this reason, he has eliminated the prospect of a relationship entirely: when it comes to being an assassin, it's strictly business. When it comes to action, he is reliably level-headed and calm. Brash actions and cockiness are a step away from a bullet to the brain. Expect him to keep a cool head and remain focused. Matt has mixed feelings about violence and killing, and ultimately avoids both if possible. Brutality repulses him, as well as anyone who finds pleasure in it. His Germanic side shows in his discipline in school and efficiency in operations, as well as excellent organizational skills: everything he owns is in its own place and he always knows where everything is. Do NOT move his stuff.
Born to a German father and American mother, Matthias (surname never recovered) was raised in a simple, Christian household. There was never anything particularly special about them; his father worked in an office and his mother stayed home. Matt had not brothers, sisters, aunts, or uncles; his family was almost completely alone. He didn't think much of it, and spent the first few years of public education as an outgoing, friendly kid.
One day, Dad didn't come home. He didn't come home the next day. It wasn't until the police arrived to speak to his mother that he learned his father had been killed, shot by a thug trying to mug him. His mother changed drastically, becoming reclusive and silent. He often heard her crying and praying at night for hours, but could never make out the words, and he was too afraid to ask why. School participation and attendance wavered by middle school, and at age 13 he had dropped out entirely to help his mother, who barely left the house anymore. Matt tried to scrape up the money to keep food and power in the house, but success was rare. Two years later, he had almost given up home.
Just before he had given up hope, a man in a suit knocked on the door. Without a word, he handed Matt a thick manila envelope, then turned and left. Perplexed, he cut it open and dumped the contents onto the table. The envelope held a letter, along with a driver's license, a passport, and an ID badge to a school he had never heard of. All of them had his photograph and signature, even though he had never seen the picture in his life. The envelope also contained an unlabeled key on a round keychain, tagged "23."
The letter read as follows:
THIS LETTER WILL DISSOLVE WITHIN 30 SECONDS OF CONTACT WITH ROOM TEMPERATURE AIR.
MATTHIAS [REDACTED]
YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR ENROLLMENT IN UBIYSTVO KOMANDY, AN EXCLUSIVE SCHOOL FOR THE ELITE. YOU WILL BE TRAINED IN THE ART OF INFILTRATION, PERSUASION, AND EXECUTION, WORKING WITH OTHER STUDENTS, TO BECOME AN ASSASSIN. WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE NEVER KILLED, SO WE ARE OFFERING A PREPOSITION. YOUR EDUCATION WILL BE PAID IN FULL. FURTHERMORE, A PAYMENT OF [$500] WILL BE DELIVERED [monthly] TO YOUR MOTHER FOR SUSTENANCE. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, GO TO BOX 23.
YOUR FATHER WOULD HAVE WANTED THIS.
-[REDACTED]-
The letter evaporated moments after he finished reading it. Matt fell backwards into a chair, stunned. An assassin? A school for assassins? Why on earth would he go there? Who were these people? Should he call the police? So many questions rattled through his mind, but they were overshadowed by the last sentence. "Your father would have wanted this." Whoever these people were, they knew exactly what they were doing. Matt was out of money. No work had appeared for weeks. And it was the only chance to learn what happened to his father. Taking a deep breath, Matt stood up, grabbing everything from the table and stuffing it into his thick blue coat. He thought about telling his mother, but her door was locked. What would he say, anyway?
Hands shaking, he wrote a short note and left it on the table, telling her that he was going away for a while for work and would send money if he could. He paused, then went to his room to retrieve a combat knife he had purchased for home defense, back when Dad first disappeared. He knew almost nothing about fighting with it, but it gave him confidence. He grabbed a small book from his desk containing Psalms, Proverbs and the New Testament of the Bible. It had hardly been touched in recent years from bitterness and apathy, but maybe it would be worth reading sometime. Taking one last look around, Matthias left home. The key opened Box 23 at the local post office. Inside was a smartphone, containing instructions on finding the school. It involves more than one transfer between unmarked vehicles and eventually a long flight with a bag over his head.
The next two years were a whirlwind of activity as he learned, initially to his disgust but later to his fascination, how to hide, kill, escape, and everything in between. He found a strong interest in technology and working in electronic infiltration. His entire second year revolved around developing a compact EMP/concussion device that fitted around his arm. A few other courses were basic-to-intermediate firearm operation, stealth, and emotional control. He also finally learned proper fighting tactics with a knife, with hand-to-hand combat as an elective, and began skimming through the only book he had brought with him. Proverbs had 31 chapters, and there were a maximum of 31 days per month, so he tried to read one a day. It didn't interest him at first, but through discipline he made it a part of his routine. The rest of the book was ignored.
As for his reason for enrollment and the loss of his father, neither concerned him early on as he was hurled into the world of a private university. Only recently in his senior year did he begin his investigation with a formal request to the administration. They approved, but to avoid overwhelming him in his last year, they began sending him new information over time. The first packet arrived today.
Weapon: -UMP45 with a foregrip, mounted laser, and suppressor. Neon combat sights for aiming in the dark. 30-rnd box magazine. Carried on a 3-point sling in combat and in a messenger bag on his back in public. -Combat Knife: About 8" long, thick and painted flat black to eliminate glare/shine). Carried in a nylon sheath to eliminate the sound of it being drawn. Limited by inability to throw it accurately.
Equipment: -PHILE (Portable Hacking Instrument for Local Electro-warfare). Small phone-size device that can remotely hack any circuit-based technology. Limited by battery life (about 10 hours) and distance to target (about 15 feet). -Impact Cannon: Fires a large shock wave from a device attached to his forearm. It hits everything in front of it within 30 feet with the force of a car. It can also fire an EMP wave that destroys electronics, lights, and anything else with a battery. Limited by need for a battery (it uses one per shot and he only carries two. Can be charged using a station in his room). -Low-profile infrared/electromagnetic/surface-penetrating glasses. Allow him to identify heat and electronic signatures in complete darkness, even through surfaces. Limited by need to be within a few feet of a surface. -Quick-release ACOG scope for medium to long-range combat.
Skills: -Instinct: Can detect threats, attacks, or surveillance from other people. Limited by lack of "super speed" and can only react as quickly as a person. -Hand-to-hand/short blade proficiency: Self explanatory. Expert at close-range combat. -Magnetic Grip: Can grasp surfaces with palms and boot treads, letting him climb walls. He can also use it to break a fall by gripping a wall before hitting the ground. The grip is silent: no loud 'CLANG' when he uses it. Limited by only being able to face upwards using it (no gripping a wall sideways or face-down, so he can't climb on a ceiling) and by body strength (it's like climbing normally: it can wear you out if you don't take a break).
Talents: -Invisibility: Can become completely invisible for a short time. Anything he is already wearing or carrying becomes invisible as well. Limited by any noise he may make, and he still leaves a heat signature.
Other: Mainly medium and close-range combat is a disadvantage against long-range weapons, but his skills and talents get him close enough to handle the situation and neutralize the target. He's also tidy, both on and off missions, to the point that he cleans up spent ammunition casings to eliminate evidence.
"Oh, am I making you uncomfortable? He he ~ ! Sorry, let me make it worse"
Name: Claudia Viola Valentina
Epithet(s): Belladonna (Also nicknamed "Bloody Valentine" by her enemies, "Principessa" by the Family and "Kitten" by her closest friends)
Age: 16
School Year: First
Gender: Female
Appearance: Standing at 5'5 and just over 128 lbs, Claudia is slim and a little shorter than average. Her skin is lightly tanned and has a soft, silky smooth quality. Her eyes are hazel and her auburn hair is around shoulder length. Her face is gorgeous, with big eyes, small but full lips, long eyelashes and a rounded chin, features that make her seem far more innocuous than she really is. She is built slender and busty bearing a flat tummy, average hips and a large bust, which is easily her most noticeable feature
Claudia's wardrobe is very clearly split in two. On one side is her "casual" gear and consists of what most people might call underwear. Crop tops, hot pants, miniskirts that barely reach the thigh and leather - by god, the leather - are all "standard" attire. None of her clothes come past the knee or elbow, so when she wears a jacket you may be forgiven for thinking she's wearing nothing under it. Her "formal" wear is far more suitable for a young lady, but no less revealing. She wears stylish low-cut dresses, either red or black, and high heels. Both sets of clothing are often form fitting and manoeuvrable, if only because there's almost nothing there.
Nationality: American-Italian
Personality: Bright. Sexy. Merciless. In these three words, one can sum up Claudia's personality. Claudia is very clever, if not in terms of reading out of textbooks then in terms of what to do in what situation. She adapts to change easily and is an excellent actress, able to fake any emotion she chooses with nary an indication of her falsehoods. She's a clever girl and she isn't afraid to show it, though sometimes she can be a little too smart for her own good. Just because she knows what the best course of action is doesn't necessarily mean that's what she'll do and she's prone to forgoing her knowledge in order to make things a little more exciting. She is charming as hell and she knows it. Using her feminine wiles, seductive talk and kittenish attitude, Claudia knows exactly what to say to worm her way into someone's good books. Whether it's a teacher giving her into trouble or a mafioso threatening to knock her skull in, she's willing to do whatever it takes to reduce the danger. If it means showing some leg, no problem. In fact, seduction is Claudia's favourite game to play and by far the easiest. She often runs into trouble with people who aren't so easily seduced or, by contrast, who already want a piece and she's just encouraging them more. She's also a massive tease, leading someone on until the last minute then yanking their chain by acting oblivious. This, as you can imagine, is quite dangerous as she has come across those who don't take "no" for an answer, but that's what her guns are for. Speaking of her being a tease, she is quite merciless. Claudia may smile to your face, but secretly she's plotting your downfall. Like any good assassin, she's polite, she's efficient and she has a plan to kill just about everyone she meets. Cross her and she will make you suffer - she does not forgive nor forget. She is something of a control freak and you need her utmost trust and respect for her to give you an inch of authority over her. She's cocky, though not a braggart and she certainly doesn't get involved in fights she knows she can't win. She's a big time chiralist and personally relishes the attention she typically gains from boys and girls alike - try something funny, though, and your days are numbered in single digits. Claudia enjoys fencing, flirting, being the centre of attention, horseback riding, shooting and humiliating others. She dislikes being humiliated, being shown up, being betrayed and people mocking the Family.
Bio: Hmm. American-Italian who uses a Tommy Gun and nicknamed Bloody Valentine. I wonder where she came from? Yes, you've probably guessed that Claudia is a Mafia girl. But not just any Mafia girl - Claudia is the daughter of the consigliere to the powerful Valentino family. Being a girl of high standing, you may expect she be married off to some other family or wealthy businessman for the sake of making connections. Normally, that's what would happen. But not with Claudia. You see, from a young age, the Principessa was an active part in the criminal underworld. Even as a toddler she was smuggling cocaine in her knickers, her Family capitalising on the fact that police don't tend to suspect babies of drug running. As a young girl, she was manipulative and shrewd to her friends and enemies alike, twisting both her fake innocence and her parent's powerful position to her eternal advantage. She used to steal her father's revolver and go bird shooting at one of the Family's compounds where she practiced and practiced until she could get six birds with six shots. To start with, the Family discouraged that kind of behaviour. Young ladies, even young Mafia ladies, were not supposed to be running around with their parent's weapons shooting unfortunate birds out the sky. They quickly did a U-Turn when at the tender age of eight she saved her dad and her boss at a supposed Family dinner where the Valentine's were discussing a truce with bitter rivals the Costanzo – no one ever expects a girl to know how to wield a revolver. She started to receive formal training with all kinds of weapons, but she took a fondness to the revolver and Tommy. She was ever the actress and longed to recapture the “good old days” of the twenties and thirties and the Tommy was one of the most iconic Mafia weapons around. This training served her well when at the age of twelve, her compound was assailed by Constanzo thugs looking for payback. The bitter back-and-forth between families had grown and grown until finally a full-scale war was declared. Claudia was locked up in a supposedly secure location whilst the soldiers and capos fought and died for dominance over their enemies. But it wasn't enough. A snitch gave away Claudia's location and some upstart younger son of Don Constanzo thought it would be a good idea to haul the girl in front of his father and use her as leverage for the Valentino side to surrender. The boy gathered a small group of men and weapons and went to kidnap Claudia. Biggest mistake of his life. How Claudia knew is known only to her and her informants, but when Constanzo burst through the door, he was met face to face with a smiling Claudia and a small army of both servants and mafiosos looking back at him. Constanzo and his goons were promptly reduced to the consistency of mulch. If Claudia had joined as a normal mafioso, she would have risen to at least Capo rank by the time she was fourteen. She was already practically running the business in her district. Goons would report to her rather than their actual bosses and her name was occasionally used as a threat - "Do I have to tell Miss Claudia of our little chat?" was synonymous with "Do what I say or things will get bloody". Rumours of a mysterious "Bloody Valentine" spread throughout the criminal underworld, stories of a mysterious girl who knew everything and could end your life with a glance. Even the more skeptical had reason to fear her as associates of rivals who wouldn't co-operate just seemed to disappear overnight. When you actually met the girl, you would struggle to come to terms with it. Was this the famed Bloody Valentine? This spoilt princess? You honestly expect me to believe this little brat, with her skanky clothes and her pretty face, is the source of so much fear and terror? The answer is - yes. Claudia was far and beyond the rank of any run-of-the-mill legbreaker. She was a card deployed for only special occasions, when someone had particularly pissed the Family off. And the best part of it was that she was a success. A marked target would receive a belladonna flower one day. Within the week, they were dead. Not just dissapeared, where they could have flown off to the Bahamas to hide, but straight up dead with a body and everything. The police wouldn't dare get involved, especially since the Family had risen to great power and was doubling their salaries every month, and rival families were near powerless to stop it. The Valentino family has connections all over the world. Brazilian Drug Cartels, Asian Triads, Arabic slave chains, Japanese Yakuzas and yes, even the Russian Mafiya all have some kind of connection to the VAlentino Family now. They're as much a business as they are a crime syndicate. So the Ruskies have been trusted with protecting little Valentina. At sixteen, Claudia has been flown off to Russia in order to train with the best assassins in the world and hopefully come back to take her place as the girl who brought the Golden Age of Gangsters back to America and restore honour amongst thieves.
Weapon: Her distinctive 100-round Tommy gun. She also carries a concealed Chiappa Rhino Revolver
Equipment: Nothing really
Skills: SMG Master - Having spent near enough her entire life using SMGs, it would be a shock if Claudia didn't know how to wield one efficiently Polyglot - Claudia knows English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese fluently and can conduct a conversation in those languages without a problem. Ambidexterity - Claudia can use both her left and her right hand with ease, though she prefers her left. Seduction - Claudia can leverage her good looks to her advantage. Even if they aren't necessarily attracted to her, her innocent features will put most at ease around her. Actress - Claudia can feign emotion and injury in a most convincing manner. Perceptive - Claudia is a deadeye and can spot minor features on someone that most wouldn't notice, like subtle glances or uncomfortable inflections in the voice. This is useful both for her shooting and for telling important details about someone, like if they are lying to her
Talents: Nope
Other: Sexuality: Whomever she feels is worthy of her. She'll gladly tease all sexes.

First what can the bullet proof suit protect against All bullets ? Because suits that are bullet proof protect against small arms like pistols. And does the suit protect his entire body like his head, hands and feet ? Or does it just protect arms legs and torso ?
Shoot, we starting?
Claudia Valentina
"Oh, am I making you uncomfortable? He he ~ ! Sorry, let me make it worse"
Name: Claudia Viola Valentina
Epithet(s): Belladonna (Also nicknamed "Bloody Valentine" by her enemies, "Principessa" by the Family and "Kitten" by her closest friends)
Age: 16
School Year: First
Gender: Female
Appearance: Standing at 5'5 and just over 128 lbs, Claudia is slim and a little shorter than average. Her skin is lightly tanned and has a soft, silky smooth quality. Her eyes are hazel and her auburn hair is around shoulder length. Her face is gorgeous, with big eyes, small but full lips, long eyelashes and a rounded chin, features that make her seem far more innocuous than she really is. She is built slender and busty bearing a flat tummy, average hips and a large bust, which is easily her most noticeable feature
Claudia's wardrobe is very clearly split in two. On one side is her "casual" gear and consists of what most people might call underwear. Crop tops, hot pants, miniskirts that barely reach the thigh and leather - by god, the leather - are all "standard" attire. None of her clothes come past the knee or elbow, so when she wears a jacket you may be forgiven for thinking she's wearing nothing under it. Her "formal" wear is far more suitable for a young lady, but no less revealing. She wears stylish low-cut dresses, either red or black, and high heels. Both sets of clothing are often form fitting and manoeuvrable, if only because there's almost nothing there.
Nationality: American-Italian
Personality: Bright. Sexy. Merciless. In these three words, one can sum up Claudia's personality. Claudia is very clever, if not in terms of reading out of textbooks then in terms of what to do in what situation. She adapts to change easily and is an excellent actress, able to fake any emotion she chooses with nary an indication of her falsehoods. She's a clever girl and she isn't afraid to show it, though sometimes she can be a little too smart for her own good. Just because she knows what the best course of action is doesn't necessarily mean that's what she'll do and she's prone to forgoing her knowledge in order to make things a little more exciting. She is charming as hell and she knows it. Using her feminine wiles, seductive talk and kittenish attitude, Claudia knows exactly what to say to worm her way into someone's good books. Whether it's a teacher giving her into trouble or a mafioso threatening to knock her skull in, she's willing to do whatever it takes to reduce the danger. If it means showing some leg, no problem. In fact, seduction is Claudia's favourite game to play and by far the easiest. She often runs into trouble with people who aren't so easily seduced or, by contrast, who already want a piece and she's just encouraging them more. She's also a massive tease, leading someone on until the last minute then yanking their chain by acting oblivious. This, as you can imagine, is quite dangerous as she has come across those who don't take "no" for an answer, but that's what her guns are for. Speaking of her being a tease, she is quite merciless. Claudia may smile to your face, but secretly she's plotting your downfall. Like any good assassin, she's polite, she's efficient and she has a plan to kill just about everyone she meets. Cross her and she will make you suffer - she does not forgive nor forget. She is something of a control freak and you need her utmost trust and respect for her to give you an inch of authority over her. She's cocky, though not a braggart and she certainly doesn't get involved in fights she knows she can't win. She's a big time chiralist and personally relishes the attention she typically gains from boys and girls alike - try something funny, though, and your days are numbered in single digits. Claudia enjoys fencing, flirting, being the centre of attention, horseback riding, shooting and humiliating others. She dislikes being humiliated, being shown up, being betrayed and people mocking the Family.
Bio: Hmm. American-Italian who uses a Tommy Gun and nicknamed Bloody Valentine. I wonder where she came from? Yes, you've probably guessed that Claudia is a Mafia girl. But not just any Mafia girl - Claudia is the daughter of the consigliere to the powerful Valentino family. Being a girl of high standing, you may expect she be married off to some other family or wealthy businessman for the sake of making connections. Normally, that's what would happen. But not with Claudia. You see, from a young age, the Principessa was an active part in the criminal underworld. Even as a toddler she was smuggling cocaine in her knickers, her Family capitalising on the fact that police don't tend to suspect babies of drug running. As a young girl, she was manipulative and shrewd to her friends and enemies alike, twisting both her fake innocence and her parent's powerful position to her eternal advantage. She used to steal her father's revolver and go bird shooting at one of the Family's compounds where she practiced and practiced until she could get six birds with six shots. To start with, the Family discouraged that kind of behaviour. Young ladies, even young Mafia ladies, were not supposed to be running around with their parent's weapons shooting unfortunate birds out the sky. They quickly did a U-Turn when at the tender age of eight she saved her dad and her boss at a supposed Family dinner where the Valentine's were discussing a truce with bitter rivals the Costanzo – no one ever expects a girl to know how to wield a revolver. She started to receive formal training with all kinds of weapons, but she took a fondness to the revolver and Tommy. She was ever the actress and longed to recapture the “good old days” of the twenties and thirties and the Tommy was one of the most iconic Mafia weapons around. This training served her well when at the age of twelve, her compound was assailed by Constanzo thugs looking for payback. The bitter back-and-forth between families had grown and grown until finally a full-scale war was declared. Claudia was locked up in a supposedly secure location whilst the soldiers and capos fought and died for dominance over their enemies. But it wasn't enough.

First what can the bullet proof suit protect against All bullets ? Because suits that are bullet proof protect against small arms like pistols. And does the suit protect his entire body like his head, hands and feet ? Or does it just protect arms legs and torso ?
The torso if the jacket is like a basic bulletproof best, with some paadding on the front if the thighs as well, so yeah just small arms. The rest of it is made of regular suit things, it's not his daily wear, just his work clothes.
I think I'm done. Sketched Matt at work today and tightened up his attributes. The Bio is so large that I put it in a hider. Hope you enjoy reading it. I'm not sure about "Talents," because there aren't any that apply to him or his family. I could work it in with the reports on his father (who was an assassin too and whatnot), but if it's not okay, I can get rid of talents completely.
Well Talents don't really have to be family or clan related, it's just that they could be to give a background on how your character could have this talent.
@MatthiasAngel So is the impact cannon a weapon ? or equipment ? And is it an Emp or just an air cannon used to push things ?
Gareth Ayden
Epithet(s): N/A
Age: 16
School Year: Second
Gender: Male
Nationality: Canada
Personality
Gareth is rather a timid guy, but he's not a coward. Whenever possible, he likes to avoid unnecessary confrontations, but when forced to deal with them then he improvises. If all negotiations fail, then he fights with hit and run tactics mainly because he is afraid of getting hurt himself. His lack of confidence greatly affects him in battle. He tries so hard to overcome it by masking himself as a happy energetic guy ready to take on the world, but his old habits tends to kick in eventually to remind himself that he is not really that brave.
The moment an opportunity opens up, he hesitates to take advantage of it, thinking it would backfire on him and make the situation worse. This kind of thinking also applies to outside of battle where he would have trouble asking a girl out or even simply picking what clothes to wear for the day. He is extremely cautious and vigilant on his decision making and actions which causes him to take forever to make his next move. As a result, his test scores are rather low simply because he never finishes them on time.
All Gareth needs is a little positivity to unlock his full potential, if he can somehow be inspired or motivated by something related to the situation then he can temporarily overcome his timidness. However, the moment something negative happens he just instantly reverts back to his nervous self. It would be rather comical to others just watching Gareth shift back and forth between his emotions.
Bio
Gareth had no intention of joining an assassin academy of any kind, but his friend 'persuaded' him to tag along with her. Emma was her name, a dear friend to Gareth for about four years. She was the one who wanted to be an assassin not Gareth, she was undoubtedly more courageous than him by a large margin. During his time in the academy, he did feel quite out of place compared to the other students. Maybe it was because of her, that he was able to get through the first year.
Around the start of the second year, tragedy struck Gareth when he found out Emma was supposedly killed during one of her assassination missions. Without her, Gareth thought he would get kicked out of the academy for his poor performance. His teachers had low expectations of him being a true assassin and was easily out shined by other candidates. One day he was forced to take a test determining whether or not he should be allowed to continue his stay at the academy. When the test was over, the teachers were rather surprised by the results and allowed him to continue his studies. Could it be that at his peak, he can easily surpass the rest of his class? When Gareth got the results himself, only one thing went through his head...
Holy fuck! I can't believe I passed! What a stroke of luck!
Weapons
A Tanto and a 1911 Pistol w/ suppressor
Equipment
-A Cellphone -Rubber bullet mags for his pistol -Headphones -MP3 player
Skills
Agility- His hit and run tactics require him to move in and out fast before the enemy is able to react to him. Additionally it allows him to change his position often to confuse the enemy of his current location, opening up for long range variations of his technique.
Marksmanship- Shooting from a distance is his comfort zone. Even while moving at a fast pace, he is capable of having a steady aim at his target. More reliable than his swordsmanship skills.
Swordsmanship- Casual training with a blade time to time, much better than being unarmed in his opinion.
Patience- His long thought decision making can allow him to drag out a fight and delay the enemy to buy enough time for his friends. Although this is nullified when there's a time limit of some sort, causing him to go into a panic mode.
Adrenaline Rush- The power of positivity can allow him to temporarily forget about his weaknesses in order to reach the height of his power. Nullified instantly by negativity.
@Spriggs27 It toggles between an EMP (for electronics) and basically a non-lethal air cannon (to open doors and knock people off their feet). I can scratch the air cannon because it's sort of a weapon and just make it an EMP cannon.
