Personal information

Personality:
Wren is a dark individual, years of living alone with his mother has stunted his social growth. He lacks confidence and has more than his fair share of self hatred. He is quick to blame himself and often takes blame for things he shouldn't. While living with his mother he watched as she struggled with the effect of chaos magic on her mind. He fears more than anything that not only will he develop this madness but be unable to control it as his mother does. Despite all of his internal issues he makes an effort to do is be kind to those who show him kindness. After establishing a bond with someone he can become obsessed and paranoid to the point of ruining any positivity in the relationship. He understands that he is the root of many problems and tries to be better but he hasn't shown much progress. In fact he tries very hard to be a better version of himself despite his fears.

He does not understand most advanced social concepts but he does get sarcasm and uses it profusely.

Brief Biography:
With Wren's birth Scarlet Witch realized she found his well being more important than anything else. She withdrew from Heroic engagements to raise him. It was her wish that Wren be normal and healthy, the baby was healthy but she knew from the start he had inherited her 'blessing' of chaos magic. Fearful for her child she could not just settle down in some suburb with her son. She kept them on the move constantly. Wren did go to public school for a few spurts here and there but as he began to exhibit signs of his powers Wanda felt it was no longer safe for him in public without her. She did her best to teach him, not just school wise but also about his powers. Unfortunately she herself never had full control of her abilities so her teachings were limited in that aspect.

As Wren grew older he yearned for independence and wanted to be a part of the world. Wanda feared this and tried to instill the same fear in her son. They lived in remote area after remote area while Wren was getting stronger and Wanda more paranoid. Wren began to understand that his mother's chaos magic caused her to suffer and struggle with sanity, he also understood that he would too one day. So when some of Wanda's former colleges finally hunted her down and told her about the treaty and the school he knew it would be best for both of them if he went. Though it pained Wanda she knew he was right. So she got an apartment in New York so he would have somewhere to come home to easily and bought him a cell phone so she could text him every hour and call him every day. She knows that perhaps she let her paranoia get the better of her but she's always been trying to do the right thing for her child, sending him to the academy is part of that.

Powers and Abilities

---

---

Chaos Magic: Wren has the ability to manipulate chaos magic in potentially reality altering ways. Chaos magic is extremely hard to control because by its nature it is Chaotic. In some ways his ability to use chaos magic is similar to other magically gifted beings. Chaos magic is powerful, more so than some other magics, however it is dangerous and over time can drive a user insane if not harming them through a direct usage gone wrong. Wren is still very inexperienced at using chaos magic and large scale uses of his powers are still far off for him.

Hexes: Focused areas of probability disturbance, allowing for unlikely events to occur. However, this does not always benefit the user, especially if the user is inexperienced.

Other:Academically Wren is very far behind his fellow students in Math and Science, his mother was not particularly good at teaching those subjects.

Finally out of my writing rut, let me know if I some how managed to mess up what little I actually wrote.

Gwen smoothed out her plaid skirt and took in her surroundings, yes the campus was interesting but it was no University of Virginia. Her fellow students were probably the most interesting thing on campus, they seemed to take every possible opportunity to show off their powers. How perfectly reckless. On top of that it seemed some of them were already itching to fight. At this rate the school was not only going to be some form of failed experiment but also the catalyst of the next great war. After all, what good parent wouldn't defend their child to the best of their super-powered ability. As these bleak thoughts passed through her mind she breifly had the feeling of being an outsider as her peers chatted with each other in varying degrees of friendliness and tension. Gwen nearly laughed, it was quite the contrast. Back home she rarely had a second to herself at school. Someone always had some problem, question, or invitation to some sketchy event. As much as she liked the idea of accepting a new less social role, the reality was that she needed to meet people and make friends or she would probably have a nervous break down. Her extroversion was on steroids and there was no way around it. Or she could calm the hell down, there was plenty of time to meet these students. Right now everyone was nervous or being extra flashy, she could just wait until all of that blew over. In fact it made much more sense to get her bearings on campus than it did to just sit around watching her peers.

Gwen made her way around the crowd, luggage in tow. She briefly considered making herself a luggage cart but lacking the confidence in her abilities she decided it was best not to. Strolling her way onto campus she walked slowly to take in the interesting variants in the architectural style.

@KatherinWinter Ahhh Ok thanks for that, glad I have better chance of not looking like an idiot.

So I've been pretty busy these past few days, I got slammed with work after a co-worker got in an accident. I probably should have said something earlier but hindsight is 20/20... I have a lot of posts to read through but I may post something a filler-y in the mean time, like a post of Gwen setting up her room or something. If any big events that effect all students (like a school-wide announcement) happened that would be nice to know but I can always find that stuff myself.

Also I don't think I got approval on Gwen's schedule, I only ask because I made it myself and I just want to make sure there are no grievous errors. @Caits

@Simple Unicycle I can read it
Also @Caits I made my own schedule, let me know of there are any issues with it.

Gwen's schedule

Amid the arriving students and families stood the Kirlin party of three. Each with expectant looks on their faces, the youngest had her eyes on the school, they gleamed with hope but also with a darker desire even her parents had never deciphered. The elders, dear Gwen's parents, had their attention turned to their daughter as if waiting for her to tell them this was all a joke.

Her mother twisting her wedding ring in endless circles around her finger, seemingly trying to loosen the tension she felt, was the first to break her silence, "Oh, honey are you sure you don't want us to help you get settled?"

"Thanks for the offer Mom, but I think I'll be alright." Gwen said, her hands clenching slightly, she could sense where the conversation was going next. Susan exchanged a look with Hank who shook his head slightly and shifted the duffel bag on his shoulder. Susan inhaled sharply and looked at the other students, she began to turn her ring even faster.

"Darling its just that your father and I are worried that this is not a good fit for you. We were lead to believe that this is more of a high school rather than a college. You should be going to a real college, you have so much ambition, you want to be a diplomat and a politician, how will this school help you with that? You were accepted to UVA with a sizable scholarship and if you're going to be going to school in Virginia you should be going there. I'm sure if we called we could find a way to-"

"No mom, I've made my decision. We've had this talk so many times. This is where I'm going, maybe for just a year to get a handle on what I can do, but what is happening this year is final." Gwen said, cutting her mom off who just looked more agitated now. She sighed, that was a pretty good cue for final goodbyes. These Kirlin family issues would not be fixed in the next five minutes, Gwen had a room to set up and a schedule to finalize, there was not time right now to work through the deep tension emanating from the three of them. She looked at her dad who seemed to recognize this as the classic college drop off it essentially was, the gruff and typically stoic man had a strange look of sadness on his face. "Dad, is this the last bag? My trunk and my sheets are already in the room, so just this last bag of clothes." There was a lot more she could say and wanted to say to her dad but didn't. Hank just nodded and passed off the bag, quickly redirecting his attention to the grounds, muttering something about the landscaping. Classic Hank move, avoiding feelings. Then in a flurry of hugs and goodbyes they were in the car driving away.

With her parents, and perhaps much more of her life, fading away into the woods Gwen began the trek back to her room. She passed by other students, a number of whom seemed to have some very noticeable 'thing' about them that was different, indicative of the fact they had abilities. Perhaps Gwen would be underestimated, maybe rightly so. Her powers might be considered weak compared to others, after all something about this place felt loud. Like the power stations that funneled electricity to entire towns. She couldn't tell which people were making so much of this 'noise' but the place was practically humming. One of the world's dangerous time bombs, this was going to be quite the freshman year.

@Caits
My character is pursuing a more college-type of education with a heavy focus on the super-powered aspects of the school, will her non super classes be held with high schoolers? Its not that big of a deal, I'm just wondering.
Also, so far I have her schedule looking a little like this:
Math, English, Power development, World Studies, Business and Ethics, Information Technology, Combat & Self-defense, Tactical Operations, and Gym (if she still has to take that as a college student)
I was hoping to maybe get a time table but I could make one for myself that is a little bit more unique due to the fact she is supposed to be entering her fresh man year of college.
