Northwood Academy

Benedict, also known as Ben, was glad to pull up to Northwood on the first sunday of the school year. He loved sundays: they were the most relaxing. He kept his window rolled down and breathed in the fresh mountain air - that was what he loved about this school. The area was beautiful, and the surrounding forest was green and lush. “Wake up, Marie.” He nudged his sister’s shoulder and she slowly came awake, her eyes scanning their surroundings.

Madison Ariel, who went by a combinations of the two: Marie, took her time in sitting up in the passenger seat of Ben’s truck. “We late?” She asked in her small voice.

“Just missed the opening speech, by the looks of it.” He nodded past the parking lot where the students were filing out of the main hallway. He pulled the handle of the door and pushed it open. He slid to the ground and stretch his limbs towards the sky after a long drive from their house.

“Good.” She muttered, and slid to the ground the passenger’s side. She lifted her rucksack from the bed of the truck. After sliding it onto her shoulders, she removed her suitcase and guitar case from the bed as well. Unlike Ben, she’d only brought the single instrument.



He’d brought enough to equip a small band. He unloaded his 6-string guitar first; then his 12-string. Next came his mandolin; and finally came his Cajon drum. He pulled his enormous backpack over his shoulders - it was stuffed full with his clothes and necessities. How he fit them in their, Marie would never know. He grabbed the instrument, two handles in each hand and they started towards the dorm area.

Marie glanced around at the kids and recognized a couple people. Generally she didn’t have many friends, but people were generally nice to her, but that was probably because Ben was popular… She glanced over as he almost tipped under all the weight of his instruments.

“You should’a made two trips, Benny.” She observed. He shrugged and pulled himself upright.



“That would’ve taken two times as long.” He replied with a grunt of effort.



About two minutes later, they had gotten there welcome packets from the main hall and were headed towards their dorms. When they reached their parting place, Ben turned to his sister.

“Celebratory-first-day-of-school-jam-sesh?” He posed the question with a smile, to which she simply nodded. “Cool, meet me in the courtyard.”

He then took off down the hall in the opposite direction. Marie set her own bags down in her own dorm room. Fifteen minutes later, the two siblings were sitting on the grass in the courtyard, and Ben finished the last couple notes of House of the Rising Sun. A couple onlooking students gave a couple claps. A young kid, whom ben assumed was a new freshman, stepped forward.


“Y’know any Stones songs?” He asked hopefully.

“Sure do, man.” He replied, and quickly picked the first riff in The Rolling Stone’s, Paint it, Black. The freshman smiled approvingly. “Ready, Marie?” He glanced to his sister as she nodded.

Ben picked the intro and Marie began singing as a couple more students wandered over.

Benedict Scott Calebs

Picture

Name: Benedict "Ben" Scott Caleb

Age: 19

Year: Senior

Appearance: Ben stands at about 6'0" and weighs around 180, with a good bit of muscle on him. He's considered rather handsome for a guy his age, and he looks older than he actually is. Ben has dark blue eyes and Brown hair.

Ability / Power / Creature: In a word, you could say that Ben has a perfect memory. He automatically memorizes anything he sees, hears, touches, smells, or tastes. In direct compliance with that ability, all of his senses are heightened beyond the normal human. He can see farther, hear sharper, etc. As a result of this, he is far smarter than the average human.

Biography: Ben grew up in a very musical family. His parents were both former musicians, so the trait passed down to him and his sister. The two grew up very close, as they were only a year apart. Ben developed as the more outgoing of the two, and he was the face of the Caleb family. He will always be the first to greet a newcomer, and he was the go-to guy for anyone who was having a bad day in school.

When he he entered high school, he was (and still is) generally the guy that helped people with advice and with school work. He often tutored underclassmen and sometimes even a few people above his grade. His parents were always very supportive of his habits and his ever-growing musical talents. He slowly realized his ability to memorize in split-seconds, as he found it increasingly easy to study for school. He can play about 10 different instruments flawlessly and even more at least a little. He received his letter for Northwood academy, summer of his freshman year. He was excited, and his parents were very pleased.

Personality: Ben is very kind and has an insane amount of patience for anyone that speaks to him. He always speaks with a kind tone and a warm smile. Despite all this: he would probably hospitalize anyone who hurt his sister.

Madison Ariel Calebs

Picutre

Name: Madison Ariel "Marie" Caleb

Age: 17

Year: Junior

Appearance: Marie stands at about 5'6" and weighs around 115. She has dark brown hair and light blue eyes. She is considered to be rather pretty and normally attractive, though she's too shy to use that to her advantage.

Ability / Power / Creature: Marie his an altered form of teleportation. She can travel through shadows, and reappear in another. This does have limits, however. She can only enter this state if she steps into a shadow, and she can only exit it if she does the same. When she is in what she calls a "shadow travel" she moves at inhuman speeds. In other words, the time it would take her to travel somewhere in the real world would only take about an eighth of that time if she "shadow travels"

Biography: Marie, just like her brother, inherited her parents love for music. She has the voice of an opera singer and she plays several instruments (though not nearly to the degree of her brother). She grew up in a small town with her family, and mostly focused on her school work. She is naturally very intelligent and is an incredibly hard worker, so she performs superbly in school.

The two siblings often spend their afternoon playing their instruments and singing for anyone who wants to stop and listen or watch.

Marie recieved her letter from Northwood a year after Ben did. She was happy that she could finally be together with her brother again.

Personality: Marie is shy and very timid; the opposite of her big brother. She preffers to sit in the back of the classroom and avoid any attention, which she is pretty good at. In all occasions, in fact, she is an expert at blending in and making herself unnoticed. She is open with her older brother, but she clams up around others. The only time she seems to open up is when they're singing together.

Mason vs Lilith
((Due to inactivity, I went ahead and wrote the fight without Calla))

Mason watched as the recruits pummeled each other. He glanced in surprise at Sky, who announced he and Lilith would be sparring. Lilith stepped to the mat, looking ready to fight. Mason stepped forward, about a foot shy of the mat. "Mr. Foster?" Sky prompted.

"Sir, I'm not going to hit her." He said, meeting his gaze.

"Why not, Mr. Foster?" The man asked, pointedly and with a challenging gaze.

"Sir, I don't believe in hitting women."

"Unless you wish to be failed from this class, I suggest you suspend that belief for the duration of this fight." The man commanded. "Fight!"

With a clenched jaw, Mason stepped to the mat. He looked at Lilith, seeing that she was good and ready to punch him. If he tried hard at all, he'd win the fight. He already knew it would happen. He had height and weight and strength all in his advantage.

Sky signaled for them to begin, and Lilith surprised mason by delivering a very fast kick towards his head, clipping him in the chin and earning a couple cheers from the onlookers. He stepped back, teetering on the edge of the mat. He pushed forward, forcing Lilith backwards to give himself some room. Her second kick landed in his side, and actually hurt. That surprised Mason - he'd expected her hits to glance of harmlessly. When her punch came faster than he anticipated, he barely managed to sidestep it, turning to face her back. It was a dirty move, but he realized that he wouldn't be able to finish this without putting her on the floor - so he delivered a heavy kick into her side, sending her to the mat and earning a couple "Oooh!"'s from the observing recruits.

He watched as she slowly worked to her feet. "Lilith-" His apology was interrupted when she swiveled and kicked him in the back of his knee, forcing him to kneel on the ground. Now that was a dirty move. As she took another heavy kick towards his head, he wrapped his hand around her thigh, then grabbed her ankle with his other hand; he threw her to the ground, and she rolled to the edge of the mat. Another set of "Ooooh!" and "Ouch!" came from the recruits.

Mason stood and turned to her as she was getting to her feet. What happened next was rather interesting in Mason's mind... See, he was six feet, six inches; he weighed around 240 pounds. However, when Lilith charged him, he actually stumbled backwards a few feet - she didn't slam into him and get thrown back like he expected she would. When she came at him with a punch towards the abdomen, he sidestepped, bringing his knee to her stomach. Holy crap, she's determined... He thought. Before she could retaliate again, he grabbed her by the shoulder and slung her to the ground like she was weightless. Yes, he knew using his anomaly was dirty, but at least it looked realistic for someone his size...

"Please stay down." He muttered. Nope - she got right back up. What was this girl? An Anomalous? He rolled his eyes as as charged again. She was pulling into a punch, but Mason kicked her in the side, sending her to the ground. This time, she rolled to the edge of the mat, and stayed down.

"For someone who doesn't hit women, you did a number on her..." Sky observed. Mason really wanted to do a number on him.

"Jerk." Mason muttered, to quiet for anyone to hear. It was clear that he wasn't supposed to help Lilith to up. He gave her the best apologetic look he could as he walked back to the line. He pulled up his shirt and saw that an angry brown bruise has surfaced on his side from where she'd kicked him. He waited patiently for the next fight.
