ok, I'm not going to bother changing the post, ignoring it's easier. I'm glad that Erica has a roomie!

Onyx was almost out the door when she heard Tarentek speak. Still a little shaken by the strange quality of her dream, she jumped a little at his voice. "Oh, good morning. I was hoping I wouldn't wake you up with any noise before I left, but I suppose that thought was doomed from the start." She laughed a little, quietly, uncertain. "I've already eaten, I must go now. I will see you later today, as Br'inx." Now her smile was more comfortable, she was glad he had remembered her new name. "Agrin, litho krebar Tarentek, until we meet again."

Sorry, It took me forever to get the format right for the skills and stuff.

Vitoria Briar

Name: Vitoria Briar
Age: 18

Personality: She is a very kind person, and will often go out of her way to try and make someone’s day, she enjoys seeing people smile. She is slow to anger, and quick to forgive. She is a loyal friend and very cunning in the face of adversity, coming up with plans that would seem childish in their simplicity but prove her instincts are spot-on. She’s very good at reading people, and at estimating how any situation would most likely turn out. People just naturally feel comfortable with her around, they are glad to call her a friend.

Backstory: Vitoria is the only daughter of a slightly upper class family that lived in the countryside around the capital city of Edessa. She had two older brothers, who are now fighting in the war, and one younger brother who travels with her. Her parents were healers, her mother able to use healing magics and her father well-versed in the arts of physical healing. Both her parents are busy tending to those wounded in the capital city.

Her family ran a small clinic out of their home, and Vitoria loved to help out in any way possible. Often, she would be tasked with cheering up a patient, or keeping visitors calm. She often mimicked the things she saw her parents doing to help the patients, and her parents acted upon that show of interest, training her to become a healer just like them. She learned quickly, and soon found that she genuinely likes to help people.

By the time she was 12 years old, she was a good nurse. She had wonderful bedside manner and was always able to get the patient to cheer up. She was well-liked in the area, and her family's clinic grew in popularity as word spread of the good atmosphere and good care. When she turned 15, she and her mother found out about her magical ability, healing like her mother along with the ability to harm in the same way.

The ability she has to harm scares her, and she sometimes tries to pretend that she doesn't have the ability at all. Because of this, whenever she practiced her magic she would only use the healing ability, leaving her fairly good at healing, but still very, very bad at controlling any of the harming ability.

She doesn't like the thought of hurting people, and now as one of the older people leaving Edessa, she's forced to carry a dagger and a bow so she can help defend the group if needed. She can use the hunting bow she carries, but she doesn't want to. She learned how to shoot because of childhood competitions between her and her older brothers.

Skills and Abilities:
Adept Healing magic - She can create apple-sized balls of Healing energy and throw them about 10 meters before they fizz out, Whoever they hit will get a small boost of energy and wounds will heal quicker for about an hour. She can focus this energy onto her hands and heal major wounds quicker by touching the person or holding her hands over the wound, she can keep this up for about 15 minutes before she tires, and in another 5 minutes will pass out. This magic cannot cure poisons, but it can help draw them out, and she cannot use this ability on herself.
Novice Harming magic - She can create apple-sized balls of Harming energy (the opposite of Healing energy) and throw them about 3 meters before they fizz out, Whoever they hit will get a burning sensation across their body and will bleed where the ball touched them. She can also focus this energy to anywhere on her body, extremely intensifying the pain felt by anyone who touches her like that. As far as she knows, she can only use short 1 or 2 minute bursts of this.
Journeyman Barrier magic - By mixing Healing and Harming energy she can create a wall of sorts, the larger the wall, the shorter the amount of time that she can keep it up. A wall about the size of a door will last about 10-15 minutes before she tires, and in about 3 minutes after that she will faint. The wall can't move, but she can, so long as she focuses on keeping the wall up she could protect someone for a while and she can go on ahead with a group at the same time, she can't get too far away though, 100 meters is about the limit.
Professional Traditional healing - She can set a bone in minutes, and get all the poison out of a wound. She knows how to wield a scalpel and stitch a wound together with precision and has a good amount of knowledge about the medicinal herbs across the country.
Trained Nurse - She knows how to deal with a patient and how to keep others out of the way when she's working, she also has good focus in any medical situation.
Trained Caregiver - She is good at keeping young children in line and at negotiating with older children due to helping raise her younger brother.
Journeyman Archer - She's a fair shot due to the games she played with her brothers, but she won't shoot people if she doesn't have to.
Adept Cooking - She is a good cook, even in the wild.
Singing - She will sing children to sleep and sing just for fun. She has a good voice.


Equipment:
A Dagger - She has no idea how to wield it and will most likely use it as an extra tool more than as a weapon.
Homemade Hunting Bow and Arrows - A bow she made with the help of her two older brothers.
Sewing Kit - Along with threads and needles to mend clothing, she has special thread and sutures to sew people together too.
Assorted Bandages - She has many, and always keeps some on her person.
Sharpened Scalpels - One with a larger blade for worse or deeper wounds, and a smaller one that she keeps on her person at all times for quick care of a wound and bloodletting poisons from the system.
A Bottle of Alcohol - for cleaning wounds and tools.
A Knapsack - holding a few keepsakes and a change of clothes for her, along with a smaller bag for all of her medical supplies and as many rations and such she could bring.

Northwood Academy

Hey everyone. I swear I'm not dead, just overloaded with school and stuff. I'll try and get a post up tomorrow, and if not... idk I just need time. I'm definitely still here though! I just thought I should say something.

Ashes [EliteCommander and Vesuvius00]

"Sounds like a plan." Onyx smiled as she spoke. "I'm going to sleep now, I'll see you sometime later tomorrow. Goodnight." After saying goodnight, she disappeared into her room, falling asleep almost immediately.

She had dreams of flight and of water, flight through a place with no land where the calm waters below perfectly reflected the sky above and the moon was 20 times its normal size, a great white orb that glowed with a knowing light. She was alone in the air, but she could see ripples in the water below that set the reflection wavering, and could hear the laughter of many people, although she could not see them.

She drifted down until she could sense the water right below her, and the reflection on it's surface stopped altogether from the ripples caused by the unseen sources of the laughter. She landed and stood on top of the water, while the second her feet touched the surface it became mirror-still once again and the laughter stopped. She walked a few paces towards the moon, and heard a scream. Attempting to take flight again, she was unable to, the water reaching up to pull her down and the scream coming ever closer.

She was pulled under the surface, and the scream ceased. It was dark for a few moments, but then she could see again. This time she was in the same place, flying again with the laughter and the ripples in the water, only now she could see the creatures that made the sound. As large as the moon had been in the moments before, the sun was nowhere in sight, and the sky that had been so clear was now overcast and lightning flashed around at the edge of her vision.

The laughing creatures that caused the ripples in the water were pure black, Onyx could not even see their eyes in their upturned, mocking faces. Just as she had before, she drifted down until she was just above the rolling surface of the water, unable to control herself as she landed and saw the water mirror the stormy sky above. The creatures slid closer to her, no longer disturbing the water with their movements, but unlike the time before they kept laughing as they got closer and she heard the scream as coming from herself.

This time when she was pulled under the water, the scene changed to white. She opened her eyes to find that she was safe in her room, looking into the rising sun as it slid over the horizon between two mountains. Jumping out of bed, and keeping quiet as she could so as not to wake Tarentek if he was asleep, she prepared for the ritual in just a few minutes and left as the sun finished clearing the horizon.

"You've lost me. Slaves and, servants? I understand the concept of slavery but, your people actually do that?" Onyx shook her head, confused but resigned. "Nevermind, we can talk more about this later. The ritual tomorrow starts a little after dawn, and the sun set a while ago. Will you be ok tomorrow? I will be busy for most of the day, so you'll be alone for that time."

Onyx finished her meal as she listened to Tarentek, and began to clean up everything while she thought how to respond. "How likely do you think it is that we will actually meet with this queen? I'm not certain that our entire group would actually go into the city, some would stay outside either to show less intimidation or simply to avoid the possibility of making any mistakes." Onyx had finished cleaning up now, so she sat back at the table and started sorting through her med-pack. "Speaking of mistakes, it would be extremely bad if we were to come to a misunderstanding while there. Are there specific, rules of court, or anything like that we would have to follow? I suppose you'd tell everyone on the mission at some point along the way, so you don't have to tell them all right now."

Erica Lankford

Oh, so he is English. German roots though, he doesn't seem too happy thinking about that right now... Erica thought as the rest of the scene played out before the bus pulled up. The bus was amazing, to say the least, such a regal design made Erica feel like one of those fancy-pants actors in hollywood on their way to opening night of their latest blockbuster, or maybe one of those super-spies in the movie who get to travel in extreme style while getting briefed on their mission. Taking a seat near the front of the bus, she spent about the first ten or 20 minutes trying to make small talk with those around her, but as time went on she started to feel, strange.

Erica couldn't really think how to describe the sensation, but mostly it made her want to move closer to the back of the bus, to get away from something. It wasn't a very strong feeling, so she didn't follow it, although after a little longer she found herself humming songs from her choir back at her old school. Checking her volume to make sure she wouldn't bother anyone much, she continued humming and distracted herself from everything else during the ride by looking out the window.

The stops along the way surprised her a little, but she did everything they told her to and answered any questions they asked without hesitation. It's most likely that these checks are to make sure that only the people who are supposed to be here are here. Why fuss about a security check? After the third check, the bus finally pulled to a stop and they were all let off. Following the group to the assembly hall, Erica took a seat near the back of the room and listened intently to the professor's speech. It was all the standard stuff, if you ignored the 'mutant' parts. It seemed like a great school, and Erica was getting very excited about the coming years.

As she followed the crowd again to get her room number and any other information that she'd need, She wondered about those she had met at the 'bus stop' and if she'd get many chances to speak with them again. She definitely hoped to meet them all again, and maybe make friends if they'd allow it, and joked half-heartedly in her mind if she'd meet her old friend here as well. I'll have to call her later, and this time actually tell her everything that's happened to me since she left...

Erica's thoughts were interrupted as she got to the front of the line and heard her name called, in a tone of voice that said that she'd been called a few times already. "Yikes, sorry. I was, lost in thought. I wasn't ignoring you on purpose, I promise." She said quickly as she walked up to the blonde woman who had called her.

As she apologized, the woman smiled slightly. "That's alright dear. I know things can be a bit overwhelming at times, especially at a new beginning." She laughed a little, the sound making her seem less intimidating and more ditzy as she soon continued. "Now then, you are in room number two-two-three, and you get the room all to yourself! Here's your key, and your luggage should already be in the room for you." She smiled again at Erica before moving on to the next student, and Erica started wandering towards the edge of the room, a slight damper put on her happy thoughts from before.

No roommate huh. Maybe that'll change later? Erica had found her room relatively easily once she figured out that there were signs pointing towards anywhere one might need to go in the school, and the dorm halls had small plaques along the walls once in a while telling where certain numbers were. The key fit easily into the lock, and when she entered the room she locked the door behind her again and tossed the key onto a nearby desk. Next, she explored the room itself, ignoring her camping-pack that had been placed just inside the doorway for now.

The room was obviously meant for two, as there were two beds, desks, and dressers. There wasn't much else in the room, a couple chairs by the window and a good-sized bookcase by the bathroom door, but otherwise empty. The room had the same elegant/royal touch to it as the rest of the school, but it seemed more subdued in here, this room could be personalized. Satisfied with her explorations for now, Erica went over to her camping-pack and started to unpack everything, organizing it all on the floor for now. She laughed a little when she noticed the bulging quality the pack had to it, showing the trouble that whoever had searched it had with re-packing it afterwards.

Not much was missing, and what was missing was of no surprise to her. They had taken all her knives, her matches, and the tent itself, leaving mostly just her more personal items left. The fact that they took the matches, but left her three lighters with her confused her greatly. Was there some significant difference between the two that she didn't know about? Whatever the reason, they were gone, oh well. Once she finished her sorting-spree, she put all her clothes away in the dresser on the side of the room closer to the windows, and further from the door. Piling the rest of the stuff on her bed, she pondered what to do next.

Catching her reflection in the small mirror she had put on her bed with the rest of her non-clothing items, she realized that she was still changed. Finally dropping her concentration, she watched her reflection blur from her bright, almost too-pretty face to how she really was right now, tired and dirty and definitely not little-miss perfect as she had been making herself look for the past few hours. Seeing her true reflection now made her feel what she saw. She wanted to curl up on her bed, or maybe even the floor so she wouldn't get the bed dirty, and sleep for a couple days straight.

She really wanted to do that, but she rationalized her thoughts and decided to occupy herself instead with cleaning herself up, and then going to get some lunch or something afterwards. In about 30 minutes she had scrubbed herself from head to toe, and managed to find an outfit that was clean/not torn up enough that it was still wearable. As she grabbed her key and left the room to start heading towards the cafeteria she thought about what the school's policies were on going out to shop for necessities like clothing, personal hygiene products, and the like. It's not like it's a campus-lockdown for the students, right?

Danagnronpa, Hope's Peak Academy and The Ultimate Despair [CLOSED]

here he is... I hope the twin thing is ok? I was thinking of cool ways to add suspense between characters, and the idea of siblings sort of fascinates me in this situation.

Ultimate Twin?

Name: Loki Sato
Nickname:
Age: 15
Appearance:
Title: Ultimate Twin
Why you wanted to go to this school: Same reason as his sister, sorta. He mainly wants to make sure that she's ok and keep her happy.
Skill: Well, he's a really good actor and mimic, and it's easy for him to put himself in someone else's place to try and figure out how they think, and copy those thoughts into his own actions. He can literally be anyone's twin, although usually he focuses on his sister.
History: Loki is the older twin, by about an hour, and he always reminds her of this even though she doesn't really care. They get along very well, even for twins, mainly because of his stronger ability to tell how people are feeling, and her open nature. So, they had to move away from their old school because their parents got divorced, but that affected his sister way more than it affected him. He didn't have the same kind of connection to their parents as Lexi did, so even though he could understand her reactions and feelings, he didn't have them himself. He was popular at their old school, and had a lot of friends just like his sister had, but he could tell that they liked him mainly because of his skill in mimicry, his ability to understand others only got him a few true friends.
Personality: He's very restless and fidgety, he doesn't like to stay still, and he always has to be doing something he feels is worthwhile. he is outspoken, like his sister, but less cheery most of the time and much more rambunctious, but polite when he needs to be.
