I'll be completely finished later tonight. Buuuuuut, in reference to the picture in the OP, I added a second theme to Kanzen's theme. I think you'll like it, Animus. Already got an idea of what song to use as accompaniment for the first class of Tactics. :3Edit:ALL FINISHED ALRIGHT TIME TO STUDY FOR MY EXAM. OH. IT'S 11:20. THANK LEH LAWD IT'S IN THE AFTERNOON.

Shit, I completely forgot the necessity of theme song!

Oh yeah, @potatobro, the future is never fixed in place, I don't have problems with a character who can predict the near future but a lifetimes worth is a stretch. For example, if you predicted I would punch you with my right arm and you moved to block it, I would adjust accordingly and kick you instead. That's an example of the future changing.

Butterfly effects means that the further into future, the more blur and uncertain it is.

Rofls, Drawings means I do not want images of real life people. I prefer visualizing 2d characters and anime designs are right up my alley hence the [anime] in the interest check. The Unique Factor should have its own name and a short description about it.

History: With his «Artistic Mimicry», Hiiro was hailed as a child prodigy in the world of fine arts. The ability first surfaced when he was 8 his parents were quick to monetize it when they discovered the value of their child. His ability to critic artwork was top notch and also possessed the ability emulate the abilities of those who he had synced with. Driven mad by money, his parents no longer saw him as their child but a money making tool. He despised it and caused a huge commotion when he proclaimed he would be going on hiatus when he was 13. He escaped away from his parents to stay with his aunt who was against the behaviour his parents were showing. Hiiro received the invitation to Zandore's Boarding Academy in his second year of college.

He decided he would stop running from the world of fine arts.

He also possess the ability to emulate them, using the skills of those he has synced with.

Midori, do you mind elaborating more on your Unique Factor? To what degree is Kimiko a prodigy? Other than that, I see no problems with the CS, I love the prosthetic legs idea!

School year wasn't meant to be in the CS, my bad.

Uhmmm, as the supernatural studies club, we might encounter more dangerous situations than normal but majority of the time there should be little to no blood.

Your initial student rank will be given by me after I review your CS.

Premise
You are one of the recipients who have received the special invitations to Zandore’s Academy. It is famed to be the most unique ‘school’ in the world yet many consider it a complete enigma. Located east of Chiba, Japan, Zandore’s Academy is supposedly found on an offshore island. It has extraordinarily large grounds and a plethora of facilities. As destiny or fate or maybe your parents had it, you enrolled into the school. Unbeknownst to you, you will be forced into the 'Supernatural Studies' club where you will encounter pleasures and horrors alike. Your story begins as you wait along Yokohama port for the school's private ferry to arrive...

Information Booklet

Zandore

Zandore founded the school in 1950s. However, the school was but an obscure one and had little influence. Many did not want live away from civilization to study in a school with little history. It was in the mid 1970s that Zandore the II revived the school by amassing enormous funding through various influential people. Yes, Zandore the II was an 'exceptional being'.

The official reason that the school was built is said to be Zandore’s desire to help preserve and protect the greatest humanity has to offer and to provide for them an environment that allows them to expand their abilities to that of their full potential. However, many speculate he did it ad a father to create a home for his son. Regardless of the reason, Zandore's Boarding Academy has produced many excellent individuals throughout the years. However, there have also been numerous graduates that have gone on to become menaces to society; mafia bosses, legendary thieves and whatnot.

Zandore's Academy is a school meant for everyone; geniuses, prodigies, misfits, oddities and monsters alike. Have no fear though, for whatever you arrive as you most certainly will leave as something more. The school holds a completely neutral stand towards its students. While this ensure there is no discrimination, it has caused outsiders to fear the school as much as they respect it.

Rankings

Zandore's Academy works on a reward system that grants greater privileges and rights to those with higher rankings. Classes in each year are divided from Class S all the way the way to Class F. In short, there are 7 ranks with Class S students receiving the most benefits. They have more leeway regarding school policies and receive various incentives such as additional services and higher allowances. Fret not, even Class F students receive enough to complete their studies. The system is there to motivate students to excel in their fields.

There are two ways to rise in the ranks. Firstly, there is the traditional way of simply producing results. Be it academically, club activities or even external achievements, the teachers will access the weight of these achievements and students are reclassed every 3 months. The second way is via the shuffle matches. A student of lower rank is allowed to challenge an upper rank student. The rules as well as the game are decided by the upper rank student. If the lower rank student wins, they swap ranks. However if he/she loses, they drop in rank. Class F students are not allowed in shuffle matches.

Allowance

As mentioned in your letters, students will all receive a weekly allowance. Your student ID will act as your debit card while you study here. How do you get a higher allowance? Simple. You will be rewarded a weekly allowance based upon your ranking. You will also receive it from teachers for exceptional work. The quickest way to gain higher allowance, however, is to perform well in the various events hosted throughout the term as the winners here are awarded various rewards which often include a large amount of cash.

Your dorm room, school supplies, and daily meals come free. Your allocated allowance can be used for anything outside those areas. Anything you wish to acquire can be gotten. Whether you want to buy coffee, furniture for you room, or an authentic samurai sword all can be gained through the use of points. Guard your IDs well for without them you will find yourself quite out of luck. Should a student file for a new ID, he/she will have their balance reset as well as be dropped down to Class F.

Dorms

Students are free to stay in whichever dorms they please as long as they meet the requirements.

Prominence - To describe Prominence as a mansion would not do it justice. It is an opulent building fashioned after the gothic style meaning it is a large stone structure that comes complete with towers, large windows, and ledges covered in elaborate statues. The interior decoration is equally old fashioned but the air of class and refinement is unmistakable. The dorm grounds are several times larger than the other two, with well-kept gardens and even a large pond. It is surrounded enclosed by three meter high fences. Although it has enough rooms to house several hundred students, it is currently occupied by the 86 Class A and higher students. Prominence is several minutes walk from the school, located adjacent to the alchemy hall.

West View – Located on the western edge of the island, West View is basically villas donning the side of the beach. They all use a modern concept giving off the air of the wealthy. Since only the beach at West View is maintained by the school, it is a popular spot for students to visit for a swim. However it is also located furthest from the school which in the central area of the island. It currently houses over 200 students, all of Class C or higher.

Academia – Academia is the largest dorm on Zandore Island and while it has the most basic design out of the three dorms, it is by no means run down or anything of the sort. Academia is a company of 5 story terraced houses which form a semi-circle around a park. It is located slightly east of the school.

What kind of "gifts" are we talkin' about here?

Anything you guys can come up with. Your character might be no. 1 in academics in the nation, he or she could be physically blessed. Maybe a phenomenon where they always win then they gamble. He or she could even be something like an exorcist or even an esper. The only rule regarding their talents is that I don't want anything overpowered. For example if you have telekinesis I don't want someone capable of leveling a building, more like flinging several tables instead.

OOC will be up today!
