Personality

Egotistic * Quiet * Jaded *

Valentino is not a boy who talks very much. Quiet by nature, though not from the lack of urge to talk but rather that he takes everything he says very seriously. When he does talk, his words carry an importance about them with everything that he says. This air of self importance can make him come off as pretentious, making it hard for others to relate to him at times. It doesn't help that a lot of things that he says to other people have a tendency to be very rude, he has little to no regard for anyone's feelings.

Though for those who come to know him will often come to find that he's got a natural sense of humor. He's the kind of guy that makes witty quips and humorous observations. Though to get him to open up in that way can prove impossible at times, it's almost not worth it.

He is very self confident but to a point of being egotistical, tending to think he's a step above the rest. He can often be found enthusing about his virtues as a person and gushing over his own appearance. Sometimes being around him can simply be maddening.

Habits:

• Drumming his fingers.
• Lapsing into Italian mid-talking.
• Biting his nails.

Strengths:

• Very intelligent.
• Very confident in what he does.
• Doesn't give up.

Weakness:

• Reckless.
• Doesn't connect with people, making him bad at teamwork.
• Easily overwhelmed.

Likes:

• Books.
• Night time.
• Winter.

Dislikes:

• Summer.
• Large bodies of water.
• Day time.

History

Born in Verona, Italy, the boy was surrounded in culture and art from a very young age. He was a part of a very well off family that catered to his every need, he became spoiled very quickly. His life was pretty average and he was as happy as he could be, though he wasn't ever known for his abundance of friends. Loneliness grew on him as he got older and when he was fifteen, he met his first partner. A young man by the name of Ivan Kuznetsov.

Ivan was a boy presumably from Russian descent with dusty blond hair and ice blue eyes. They hit it off very quickly, sharing their self-important nature. Their relationship was hidden because Valentino feared that his parents wouldn't be accepting of the other boy. It was a relationship full of fun, twists and turns and constantly learning more about one another. Valentino hadn't known it at the start of their relationship but Ivan was a vampire.

Ivan eventually changed him in the heat of the moment which lead to Valentino being very confused. As Ivan tried to explain, Valentino wanted to listen less and less. He firmly believed that it should have been his choice for something so drastic. The two broke it off and grew very distant from one another. Confused and unsure of how to handle his new state of being, Valentino landed himself at the school.

I'm going to tap up a CS for this because it seems rad.

@Surtr Inc I'm looking forward to it.

I'm fine with situation placing, no complaints from me.

I've been sitting on that response for awhile because I didn't want to post in such close proximity to myself but w/e.

@Surtr Inc How far are the docks from this? Can Aliana, Lynette and Nathan hear the ruckus or nah?

Martin watched Rita carefully as she responded to Tuyen, having developed a keen eye to her mannerisms after living with her. He could easily tell that she was far from comfortable, she seemed to be drawing into herself. It worried him, he knew that she had wanted tonight to go well and this was about as far from well as one could get. He'd need to pull her aside to talk to her about this, though he wasn't sure that she'd be willing to talk with Tuyen around. He swallowed back the bile of his anxiety and focused on figuring out what he was going to say to her later. He didn't have long to think it over.

The sound was terrible. A sort of wet, cracking, noise that conjured images of horror movies. Martin liked horror movies, especially the cheesy slasher kind. The dumb kids at a camp getting hacked to bits kind. The not me, not I, not in Farmer fucking Hill kind. The kind of movies where he'd get so frustrated that they didn't have a strategy. The kind of movies that you couldn't help getting infuriated with. The kind of movies that weren't real. The kind that weren't happening right in front of him.

The teacher's head splitting down the middle was nothing like the movies. He was frozen in horror when he saw it. For a second, he barely dared to breathe at all as if his breath alone could invoke some angry spirit. Blood splattered the ground around a creature that was far more monster than boy. It looked like something out of a nightmare. It's eyes were burning brilliantly orange and it had a peculiar smile about it. It's flesh looked as if it were made of stone. It raised it's axe again, the steel shining in the glow of the firelight, the metal almost seeming hot with intent.

He heard a girl scream for them to run, her voice lost in the rising panic. He could see Kimberly helping the girl as she bolted, he could see the other forms of terrified kids as they stumbled off or stood shock still. He could hear angry words, scared pitching voices and and his own blood roaring in his ears. His heart was pounding in his throat, he could barely draw in a ragged breath. The scene was disorienting, shock was setting in and he was getting dizzy.

He didn't want to faint in the midst of all of this chaos and he wasn't about to let himself. He had to move, but where? It seemed like everyone was running everywhere all at once. They were scattering like ants, some in small groups and a few scraggling loners. He couldn't ditch Rita, he knew that much, he had to keep her in his sight. Wherever she went, he'd follow, they had to stick together. Tuyen too, he knew she had a cousin but all be damned if he knew where the guy was or what he looked like. The only way they were going to get through this with their heads in place was to stick together.

He struggled to keep his voice even, trying not to be too loud or too quiet. "We need to stick together," he stressed, swallowing thickly as he spoke to the two girls. "And not dawdle, if we leave as a unit then it'll be safer than splitting up. I'll take up the rear, just go as fast as you can."

Coming of age, teen and family drama! Oh, my!

I'd be down for the older Cabernet brother.

The Ordinary Mythical Academy

I have a question.
Are you allowed to possess the same powers as someone here? Or does your powers really have to be different?

@PokimKyOshi

I think it should probably be fine, a bunch of powered people in one place are bound to share some similar powers.

@The One can confirm if I'm right or not though.

The Ordinary Mythical Academy

Isaiah Blackwater

G E N D E R:

Male.

S P E C I E S:

Kelpie (Faery).

A G E:

18.

R O O M N U M B E R:

333.

R O O M M A T E:

Celestia.

A L I G N M E N T:

Chaotic Neutral: A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions.

A P P E A R A N C E:

Human Form

A gaunt but debateably handsome, dark-haired boy, he may appear sickly to some. His skin is marked in bruises, they welt the flesh along his arms and sides. Sometimes large sores will appear around his neck and face, usually blackened by what appears to be rot. He's very tall, standing in around six foot two but he's almost unhealthily skinny. His hands collect scrapes and scratches seemingly at random, the knuckles are often bruised.

He will usually be found wearing black, adorned with shell necklaces. He seems to like things with stones and beads as well, liking to make a clacking noise wherever he goes.

Kelpie Form

The horse is a bit oversized and corded with muscle, but appears to be very drowned and very dead. It's black in color with discolored spots of rot all over it's large body. It has white, dead eyes and broken, rotting teeth hidden within it's muzzle. It's mane and tail hangs in tangled waves and it reeks of death. It's fur is bristled and matted from water and near it's flank is a large, open, wound that leaks almost constantly.

P E R S O N A L I T Y:

Many would say that Isaiah is very odd, he doesn't seem to understand how to be human. He speaks in a strange way, halting and constantly measuring his words. He talks about water a lot, using it in his comparisons and euphemisms. Things that he likes will usually be compared to water. He lacks affect in his speaking at times and it can be hard to tell if anything excites him or scares him. That strangeness can make it hard to relate to him and ends in him not easily making friends.

Beyond that, he's an individualist by nature. He doesn't like rules and regulations, he will usually push his limits as much as he can. When told to do something, he will almost always do the opposite. He hates being expected to do things and he hates having tasks set out for him. He tends to act recklessly and rush into things without thinking it through, this leads to him getting into trouble a lot.

When he's comfortable around a person, he becomes very invested in conversing with them. He'll tell them everything and make sarcastic jokes. He can come off a bit pushy with friends though, trying to direct them into his recklessness and he has little to no empathy for their problems. He won't go out of his way to help them while fully expecting them to help him. He can also come off as mean, pointing out their flaws at times, though he doesn't seem to understand that he's being hurtful.

B I O G R A P H Y:

Born to the Unseelie court of the Fae, he lived like any other Kelpie would have. His life was spent in the depths of black water, deep within a forest in Ireland, drowning wicked humans for fun and warning young children away from the water. As he grew up, he grew more and more curious about the world outside his lake. He found himself growing interested in the humans who wandered close to the edge and that was the first time that he ever changed his form.

The young lady on the other side had red hair and blue eyes, she was very startled when a thirteen year old boy surfaced from the water. So startled, in fact, that she stumbled and toppled into the depths. He was fumbly in his new form, his new fingers were numb with the cold and his limbs were awkward and hard to use. He scooped his arms beneath hers and waded her thrashing form back to the top, he helped guide her back onto the shore and she tried frantically to ask him where he'd come from.

The thirteen year old boy had not ever spoken in his human voice before and he tried his best to respond that he was the spirit of the water. She was scared, cold and dripping, she spoke with him though. It was the first contact that he'd ever had with a human, they talked for hours. He didn't have all of the right words and sometimes he had to use his gestures and noises to describe what he meant but she mostly understood. When she finally had to go, she made a promise to return at his insistence.

She showed up at first, visiting every day but it wasn't long before she stopped. His only connection to a world outside of the water was broken entirely and he was left wondering. That growing wonder and that growing need to know more about the world is why he sought out the academy.

P O W E R O N E:

Shape-shifting: This is an ability inherent of all Kelpies, giving them the freedom to be whatever form suits them most.

P O W E R T W O:

Water manipulation: Much harder to learn, it's the ability to manipulate the water in whatever way is necessary.

L I K E S:

Water, tricks, surprising people, doing as he pleases, drowning things.

D I S L I K E S:

Heat, moral dilemmas, following directions, boring people.

F A M I L Y:

N/A.

F R I E N D S:

(Feel free to let me know if anyone wants to be friends with the gross water horse. He's a bad friend but don't let that stop you.)

S E N T I M E N T A L A T T A C H M E N T:

An old silver locket that once belonged to the woman who used to visit him.

W E A P O N:

N/A.

O T H E R:

- He needs to have open access to large bodies of water, he can be on land during periods of time but he has to be able to return to the water for a few hours every day or his human body will suffer damage.

- Isaiah Blackwater is not his real name, obviously. He was born only under a much longer name that he will refuse to disclose. In Fae lore, when someone knows your full name, they have the ability to control you completely and he'd rather avoid that.

- He does not have the ability to lie though like many Fae, he's perfected the art of bending the truth.

- Iron will severely weaken him and possibly the cause of some of the damage in his human form currently.
