While I get that a supporting cast is generally a thing, it's...not what this RP's about. The academy's not meant for those characters and it doesn't make sense for them to be there.
I'm glad to see this is getting interest. ^_^

@Joestar This is supposed to be about either magical girls or tokusatsu style heroes like Kamen Rider or Super Sentai/Power Rangers.
To most of the world, the Ishinomori Academy is simply a perfectly normal, if exclusive boarding school in the perfectly normal town of Asagata. However, this couldn't be much further from the truth. The Academy's student body is made up entirely of transforming superheroes, and the curriculum reflects this. In addition to standard subjects, students study to improve their effectiveness against the forces of evil. The town itself plays an important role in the Academy's unique goals, having been built in what is quite possibly the single worst location on the planet.

To elaborate, the town is located near a haunted Sengoku era battlefield, with an island of animals mutated into sapient humanoids (who believe their rapid evolution to be a sign of their superiority and right to rule over mankind) by less than ethical experiments by a local laboratory and to top it all off, a series of caves further inland seem to serve as a portal to Hell. Normally, this would be grounds for everyone to pack their bags and leave, not to mention making an awful environment to educate children. However, the Academy serves to keep the townspeople safe while using these assorted threats to aid in training the heroes of tomorrow, teaching them the value of teamwork, as well as how to adapt to a variety of foes.

While many of the Academy's students are recruited after being chosen by a deity, finding artifacts of ancient super-science or otherwise gaining their heroic identity, there are rare instances where people are scouted for particularly impressive acts of courage. These students are gifted devices from the Academy's research teams to allow them to transform. However, just because someone is approached by the Academy's representatives doesn't mean they have to attend, in the end the choice lies with them and their families.


So, this RP will follow the students of a school for magical girls/boys and tokusatsu-style heroes in the fictional Japanese town of Asagata through a perfectly normal school year where nothing will go wrong, honest. The RP is intended to be light-hearted and comedic for the most part, although there will be serious moments in the plot. That said, it should still have the potential to come back to comedy after those events.

I'm still here, just...had a couple of weeks worth of writer's block with one of my characters, I guess.
I guess maybe the "I have a character that emphatically doesn't want to talk to anyone?" response was meant to be interpreted as "my character's screwed on interaction unless someone actively approaches them"?
Name: Mimura Kaori
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance: Well, most of the time at least. She's about 5'6".
Personality: Kaori is fairly laid-back and calm most of the time, leading some students to believe her lessons are an easy pass. She can be very protective of her students if she thinks they're in danger, although she gets very annoyed when students endanger themselves and those around them. Her laid-back attitude seems to carry over to her potion-making at times, as she generally doesn't bother with precise measurements. While this generally works out fine, it has led to the occasional awkward situation and at least one (totally planned) surprise test on a recently-learned healing potion. Of course, she is far more precise when dealing with more dangerous ingredients and does not tolerate students following her example. Finally, she has something of a sweet tooth and has been known to bring baked goods to class if she feels her students have done particularly well recently.
Position: Alchemy teacher
Abilities: Kaori is an extremely talented alchemist, especially when it comes to crafting potions. She can recite a variety of alchemical recipes off the top of her head, from simple healing potions to the legendary Alkahest (not that she'd have any reason to, as her one successful attempt at creating the universal solvent ran into the predictable issue of "how does one store a substance that can dissolve anything"...fortunately the potions lab was on the ground floor). As far as actual spellcasting goes, she is far less impressive, only capable of casting a couple of basic healing spells to supplement her potions as she hasn't had much reason to use any offensive magic in the years since she graduated.
Skills: Kaori is an incredible cook, with a preference for Italian cuisine and baked sweets.
Brief Backstory: Kaori is a former student of the Academy and was top of her alchemy classes at the time. In her senior year there was an accident in the alchemy lab and her formerly black hair got permanently dyed pink. Not that she seems to mind at this point. After graduating, Kaori went on to university where she got her teaching degree before returning to the Ishikawa Academy.
I'll post in the IC in a bit...when I work out what I'm actually doing. ^^;

In the meantime...

I'm making an alchemy teacher for a second character. I haven't actually finished the sheet yet (probably won't have it up until tomorrow), but I figured I'd call dibs mention that I'm making something for that role now, just in case.
Name: Takenaka Mizuki
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance: She's 5' tall, making her slightly below average for her age. And yes, she wears suits when she's not required to wear the school uniform. Because she thinks they're cool.
Personality: Mizuki's fairly upbeat and pleasant to be around most of the time, if a bit subdued. She's generally happy to at least try to hold conversation about most subjects, even if it does sometimes lead to her just nodding and smiling through most of what's being said. She is a massive nerd, having brought a large amount of manga, her personal computer and at least one gaming console to the academy with her. She has a fondness for cute animals, especially cats.
Abilities: Mizuki's main magical focus is on summoning. Of course, as she's still just a student, she's unable to conjure anything too extreme or summon an army. She can only reliably summon the following: a winged imp with red skin, which conjures fireballs to attack and is extremely frail, a stone golem that stands roughly 6' tall with a gorilla-like physique and relies on brute strength and its tough body, a humanoid ice elemental which is neither particularly frail or tough and is capable of fighting in melee or firing shards of ice at enemies, and a succubus who she mostly just summons when she needs a player 2. She also has a limited knowledge of healing magic, although for now the main use for this is a short ranged spell which heals minor to moderate injuries over a period of time and is completely ineffective against anything major like a severed limb or 3" hole in the chest.
Skills: Mizuki is an above average student in most subjects, the biggest exception being PE. She's a competent cook, when it comes to the half dozen recipes her parents taught her. She can easily pass for a feminine boy if she wants. She can effortlessly crush anyone in the school (except that damned history teacher) in any fighting game.
Brief Backstory: Mizuki's childhood was mostly normal, as far as the daughter of a family of mages can have a normal childhood. Her parents gave her some basic education about magic at home, but had decided to leave teaching her actual spells until she was old enough to attend the Ishikawa Academy. Of course, youthful curiosity and her love of a certain monster catching/battling-based franchise may have led to her peeking at some of their books related to summoning magic prior to her arrival.
