SBS: Superpower Boarding School SIGN UP/DISCUSSION http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/role-playing-and-communal-story-building/threads/49918 Contemptus SBS, the boarding school for those that are, well, a little bit <em>different</em>. Born or blessed with gifts, the students of this establishment aren't exactly human. They can do things an average person couldn't: teleportation, mind-control, invisibility, you name it; they've had a student with it. Naturally, it's an isolated, elite place. You are sent a letter by post and expected to attend -- after all, why not be with those with similar powers -- for the duration of your schooling, however long that may be. From elementary school right up until university, SBS has it all. Strangely enough, it also has its fair share of troubles. Alien invasion, school-wide war, a shadowy Dean and a ring of human traffickers all have been dealt with previously. What will the new semester hold? A character sheet, for those inclined. Name: Age: Grade: Powers/Gifts: Personality: History (optional): Appearance (optional): Limitations will be discussed on a character-to-character basis.

Name: Tear de Fae Age: 19 Grade: College freshman Powers/Gifts: All of his senses are hyper-alert, leading to a nearly inhuman aim with knives or guns, though he favours his bolt-action sniper rifle over everything else. Personality: Distant, cold, guilt-ridden , and very, very good with orders: both given and following. Social interaction with "civvies" is ... difficult with him. History (optional): He was a sniper in his Dome's military, and a First Lieutenant besides. Been in that same military for a very long time. Currently on medical leave. Appearance (optional): A bit taller than six feet and quite skinny -- to the point where he is gaunt, nearly malnourished-- though well-muscled, in a wiry sort of way. Grey eyes, verging-on-grey-pale skin, floppy black hair. Always wears white clothing neatly, as well as a long grey coat with a deep hood and deeper pockets, and a pair of well-shined army boots. Name: Spit "Spitfire"Jones Age: 14 Grade: Ninth -- or would be, if she were a student. Powers/Gifts: A working knowledge of pretty much every explosive known to mankind. The mental fortitude of a seasoned soldier, Also a decent shot with a rifle or a pistol. Personality: A bit like a storm in a bottle -- everything's raging under the surface. Fiercely loyal, violent when provoked. In fact, most of her emotions come across as violent or explosive. History (optional): She's a Private in the same military as de Fae, and serves under him. She's been sent to check in on him and mark his progress, and before he was put on leave she acted as his aide, more or less. Joined the army three years ago to help feed her family and hasn't looked back yet. Appearance (optional): Blonde hair wore in a long-ish buzz-cut,green eyes, and freckled. Usually smudged with some sort of soot r explosive residue. Short, well-endowed, and wide-hipped, she developed early and doesn't think on it much. Dressed in military fatigues -- in white and grey -- as well as boots and a long grey coat. Name: Abel Wolfgang Fitzpatrick Age: 17 Grade:12, Highschool senior. Powers/Gifts: Mind-control, as well as the ability to cause immense brain-pain or pleasure should he wish to. Personality: Callous, self-absorbed, manipulative, generally a little bit sociopathic. He's been in too many people's heads, and generally doesn't care for the "sheep" as he calls them. Ridiculously passionate about music, as he plays a handful of instruments quite well, and math, because he's a dork. Enjoys challenges, and he's quite prideful. When he cares about you, he'll be willing to destroy <em>anything</em> for you. History (optional): Grew up in Ireland with his mother, used people as he saw fit, and came to SBS because he got bored and his mum wanted him to go. Appearance (optional): Average height, quite slim and pretty, for lack of a better word. Narrow shoulders, pale skin, wide blue eyes and shoulder-length, cornsilk-blonde hair. Is mistaken for a flat-chested girl until he starts speaking, as his voice is quite hoarse.

He can naturally adapt to any situation (without changing his body). He also retains whatever abilities he forms. Personality: He is a survivalist. He isn't very loyal and will do literally anything to survive. He is very dismissive when people accuse him of this trait. Otherwise, he is very calm and analytical. History (optional): He and his brothers were criminals. They lived in an abandoned shack for a while. (I might update this, I don't know what to post right now.)

If he makes skin contact with someone, he can make himself go into their body and put them in his. I've got it thought out and several of you are familiar with how this works, so I'll leave it at that. Personality: Oliver's kind of laid back, good natured, and something of a prankster. He can be fairly protective of his little sister. History (optional): Eh... enough of you know the little that there is that I won't go into it. It's not that important. Appearance (optional): Kind of gangly, with brown hair and eyes. Usually smiling. You should also know that he's a paraplegic and thus uses a wheelchair. Name: Jennifer Edinburgh Age: 7 Grade: Taking 9th grade level courses at the moment. Powers/Gifts: At the moment she's mentally fused to the school's computer/security system, so she can control all of it and see through the school's cameras. The downside of this is an inability to leave the school grounds without getting dizzy and passing out. Personality: Jenny likes structure and logic and for the world to make sense, but she's still very much a child in some aspects. Loves her brother and is always looking out for him. Worries too much. History (optional): Well, originally Jenny had the ability to 'mind-meld' with people kind of like the Vulcans on Star Trek. She was only about four when she made the mistake of doing it to something complicated enough to get entangled in but with no sentience of its own to push herself out with. Thus, computer-Jenny. Appearance (optional): Little and bony with brown hair pulled back in pigtails. Usually wearing a yellow jumper-dress. I'll get in profiles for my non-students (our lovely principal, Mynah, Reina, Faraday, and of course Leghorn) later.

History (optional): Accidentally killed his family when his gift first manifested. They thought he was a hemophiliac. His father was a Bone manipulator who could also be insane. Ridge finally snapped and killed him, his mother, and his two little sisters. When he tried to kill himself, his power formed a blood familiar with his life's blood.

Name: Gracie Glass Age: 10 Grade: 5th Powers: Gracie is telepathic and empathic. She can read people's thoughts and emotions, but she often struggles with her ability because she has no control over what she hears or feels. She's had to build up mental walls in order to keep them out, which means two things: she must have iron focus at all times to keep the walls up or else be flooded with thoughts and feelings that aren't her own, and she can only use her powers by lowering the walls deliberately, which means she can only use them for a short time before getting exhausted by all the information she recieves. Her powers do, however, allow her to maintain a strange mental bond with her siblings that formed, entirely by accident, when she was born with her eyes closed and they were both there when she opened them, making them the first people she saw. The bond allows her to sense their strong emotion and they hers, even through her mental walls. Appearance: Gracie has dark hair cut short around her chin, usually with a colored headband or hair ribbon. Her skin is pale and she has dark rings under her brown eyes all the time from the effort of controlling her powers. Her favorite outfit is black knee-length leggings under a short sage-green skirt, white socks and black MaryJanes, and a dusty pink sweater. She has a choker-style necklace of a tiny panda's head on a cord strung completely with tiny white beads. Personality: Gracie is cheerful and helpful, despite her exhausting abilities. She always puts others before herself and hates seeing anyone in pain. Even without using her power she's constantly aware of others' feelings, and she always feels the need to help them somehow, sometimes to the point where she disregards her own health and wellbeing. History: Gracie and her two older siblings have all been going to the school for their entire school-aged lives, hardly being able to be with their family -- which they don't mind. The Glass sibings' father left when Gracie was two, and their mother, who had never finished high school, turned to other professions to keep the money flowing in. What followed was their nice house being exchanged for a little two-room junk heap in a tiny suberb, no money for anything other than food and (occasionally) secondhand clothes, and a steady string of their mother's boyfriends who got increasingly worse each time. Nicholas and Annette, near the same age and old enough to worry, now support themselves and Gracie with their own jobs while their mother spends everything she earns on her own upkeep. Nicholas and Annette are fiercely protective of their little sister, to the point where they would almost kill anyone who made the slightest threat to her. Name: Nicholas Glass Age: 18 Grade: 12th Powers: Nicholas is telekinetic, which means he can influence objects around him in whatever way he wants using only his mind -- move them around, force them to ignite, collapse, explode, etcetera. He can't change what they're made of, however; he can make a stone crumble, but he can't turn it into water, or even another kind of stone. He shares a mental bond with his siblings, allowing him to know when they're feeling any strong emotion, such as fear or pain. Appearance: Nicholas has dark, combed-back hair and brown eyes, an angular face, and relatively pale skin. He always dresses neatly and elegantly, as far as his money will allow -- white button-down and dark vest, jacket, dark jeans, black Converse. He's pretty much always frowning. Personality: Nicholas will cheerfully crush anyone who hurts his sisters, particularly Gracie, whom he believes takes to much responsibility on herself. He's pretty antisocial outside his family, and he hates his dad with a passion, and can't think very well of his mom. He has to be the head of his family and he acts like it at all times. History: See Gracie's. Name: Annette-Jean Glass Age: 17 Grade: 11th Powers: Annette can control others, using her mind to take over theirs. She cannot control thoughts or read minds like her sister Gracie; she controls the part of the mind that commands the rest of the body, which means she can make people's bodies do her bidding. She has a mental bond with her siblings that allows her to sense their strong emotions, just as they can with her. Appearance: Annette has dark hair cut short and choppy to her jaw, rather pale skin, and brown eyes. She wears black nail polish with little bow-shaped stickers on them in different colors. Her usual outfit is dark skinny jeans, black Converse, a black button-down with sleeves rolled up halfway, and a dark brown jacket. She has several piercings in each ear, lobes and cartilage, in which she wears delicate dangling chains, studs, and little hoops. Personality: Annette isn't as antisocial as her brother, but she's still not the greatest at making friends, nor does she have any real desire to. Along with Nicholas, she helps run the family and take care of/protect Gracie. She acts strong and capable, but she's terrified that something will hapen to either of her siblings and she won't be able to prevent it. History: See Gracie's.

While her illusions can make people imagine that they are touching the illusion and can create pain, they can't actually harm the body- they just play with the brain. The illusions don't seem fake at all. When they are detected, they are detected because they somehow seem TOO real. Personality: A decent person all around, one can't help but like Eliza. She is quick to forgive and forget, polite, wise beyond her years, and has good judgement. People often go to her for advice because she so often knows just the right thing to do. But she feels pressured to be right about these things and would rather die than be wrong about something. For this reason, she often seems a bit stressed. Appearance (optional): Eliza has a mane of curly dark-brown hair that falls to a few inches below her shoulders. She often forces it into a ponytail in an attempt to keep it out of her face, but it always escapes within a few hours. Her eyes are large and a brownish sort of hazel. She is short, skinny, and scraggly.

Tear's: Ridiculously heightened senses, including his nerves. Can taste the rot in meat, even if it was killed and processed that afternoon, can smell you when you aren't in the same room; can hear a great distance if he tries, though he tends to block it out most of the time. His eyesight, however, has earned him the most acclaim. He's a sniper that doesn't need a scope. Abel's (with help from Wikipedia): Mind control, memory manipulation, Psionic blasts -- the ability to overload another's mind causing pain, memory loss, lack of consciousness, vegetative state or death. As well, once he's linked with your mind, leaving it can be quite painful or cold, a side effect he wasn't really aware of. Strangely, if he's just sort of chilling in your head, linked up and going to start controlling you, it's warm and soothing and <em>close</em>, something that he exploited back home, usually for favors or money or cigarettes. Who doesn't want to feel warm and safe and close to another human being?

College somewhere I'm assuming:) Powers/Gifts: Oh dear, how to explain this. . . . . . she has the ability to 'create' an optical screen (if anyone has seen Paycheck think the computer screen he was working with in the beginning) of any kind of building, machine, etc with complete blueprints, 3D grid shots, photo images, as well as the specifics, locations of security cameras, hidden doorways, etc. And all she has to do is look at it do create the optical copy - she doesn't even have to see it in person, a photo will work as well (though she isn't quite as good about that and using photos tends to leave some unknown variables) Because of this ability and the fact that a whole lot of people would love to get their hands on her she also has the capability to block others' attempts to access her mind and manipulate her. (Please feel free to ask questions if this is confusing, because I know it is kind of weird sounding, but I've never had to explain it outside of my own head:) Personality: Outgoing and fun loving; likes to be around other people. Doesn't like people trying to take advantage of her, sometimes feels as though others don't see her for who she is, simply what she can do. History (optional): Not much, the only thing I've got for her is that when she was younger she'd been part of a government 'study'. Of course, that was just a ploy, it was really and experimentation group. She'd escaped from there and is currently trying to keep a low profile. Appearance (optional): Dark brown eyes, long mahogany hair, creamy complexion with a hint of a tan. She is tall and has a fine boned build, almost exotic looking. Because of her time in the government 'study' she came away with several long, slim white scars, mostly along her right arm. One scar, more jagged looking, twists along the base of the back of her neck outward and over her collarbone to end above her left shoulder.

For example, if stares at a person long enough, she see all the outfits they'll ever wear, how they'll age, die and decay. It's an automatic response to focusing on one thing, but she can control it if she concentrates. Personality: She's apathetic and tries not to get too attached to people. She likes to listen to music and likes to tell stories. She has a particular fondness for immaterial things and has a good enough memory to keep them with her.

I hope they're alright. Name: Layton Todd Age: 15 Grade: 10th Powers: Layton is a power leech. When she comes into contact with another powered human, she can siphon off some if their ability for her own use. Depending on how long she was around the person, she can use the power anywhere from five minutes to twenty-four hours. Physical contact usually makes the bond last longer. However, any of the constrictions on the donor's power are also passed on to Layton, and the ability isn't as strong as it would be for a person naturally gifted with it. Personality: Layton is very charismatic and silver-tongued. She can talk her way out of almost anything and has never been known to get nervous. On the outside, she's usually bubbly and outgoing, always smiling. Only a few people know what a manipulative, frigid bitch she can be. She's ambitious and won't shy away from using her friends or herself to get what she wants. Vain and spoiled by her parents, Layton is arrogant and looks down on people she decrees as weak. Prefers to surround herself with loyal friends who have strong abilities she can borrow at her leisure. The only person she may really care about is her younger brother Jonah, who she is viciously protective of. History: Not sure yet. May expand on it throughout the RP. Appearance: Layton is not as beautiful as she thinks she is, but she is still quite pretty. Long-legged and slender, about 5'8, with straight blonde hair and crystalline blue-gray eyes. She's tan from hours of frying her skin cells in a tanning bed, and the concept of natural-looking makeup is apparently foreign to her. Pearly white, even teeth. Name: Jonah Todd Age: 7 Grade: 2nd Power: Jonah is gifted with the ability to manipulate and perfectly mimic sound waves. He can amplify ordinary sounds to the point of being unbearable and potentially damaging, as well as being able to completely block sounds from reaching a person, causing them to go temporarily deaf. He has a knack for mimicry and can replicate almost any sound. Personality: Jonah is very happy-go-lucky and reckless. Like most kids his age, he's intensely curious about everything and will go rushing into something without a second thought over how dangerous it might be. Cares very much about his two older siblings. He loves to play practical jokes and is generally very friendly, although he can be quite nasty if he doesn't get his way. Extremely stubborn. History: See Layton's. Appearance: Jonah is tall for his age, lanky and athletic. His shaggy hair is a few shades too dark to be blonde, and a few shades too light to be brown. He has gray eyes like his brother and is usually covered in cuts and scrapes because, like I said before, he usually just rushes into things without much regard for safety. Name: Zachary Todd, usually goes by Zach Age: 17 Grade: 12th Power: Telekinetic Personality: The oldest Todd's personality can be split into two very clear categories: Zach and Zachary. He might as well be two different people stuck inside one very divided, conflicted body. "Zach" is the more passive and normal of the two, the persona that most people see in day-to-day life. Zach is very meek and shy, preferring to work away from others and be by himself. When he is faced with people, he's incredibly awkward. His social skills are basically nonexistent. That being said, he is incredibly intelligent and is very loyal to people who are nice to him. Unfortunately, he hasn't grown a backbone when is comes to his sister and reluctantly does everything Layton tells him to do. He doesn't want to, but he just doesn't know how to say no. He is a complete perfectionist and a hard worker; he will completely devote himself to something until he can do it perfectly, often forgoing sleep and food in favor of practicing. He cares for both his sister and his brother, but there are times when he really wishes that they would disappear for a while. "Zachary" is very different from his more mundane counterpart. For one thing, he's very charismatic and charming. Where Zach's a loner, Zachary's the life of the party. For another thing, he has a hair-trigger temper and gets violent very easily. He still remains obsessed with being perfect, although anyone who tries to call him out on it will get more than a death glare. He's very clever and manipulative with almost no empathy for other people. Zachary goes after the people that Zach tries to avoid at all costs and makes them pay for whatever grievance they've caused him. He doesn't care about his sister or brother at this point. The only things that matter to Zachary are his powers and his own safety. Zach usually has some amount of control over Zachary, the more volatile side only prevailing when he's under intense stress or very, very angry. Once Zachary's side is out, it's hard to get it under control once again. History: See Layton's. Appearance: Tall, just over 6'0", with long legs and arms. He has dark brown hair that he slicks back and piercing pale gray eyes usually kept behind a pair of glasses. He's paler than his younger siblings, probably because he doesn't care for the outdoors. On the rare occasions that he does smile, his teeth are white and even. When he's "Zach", he tends to always frown, and the exact opposite when "Zachary" is more active. Thin but with and stronger than he looks.

Age: Late 40s, early 50s Grade: SHE'S THE FREAKING PRINCIPAL. BAM. Powers/Gifts: By looking someone in the eyes, she can see everything they have ever done. This isn't like an instantaneous knowledge thing; she has to actually dig around and look for something specific if she wants to see something specific. She can NOT see thoughts or motives, only physical actions. This includes what people have said though. Personality: Cold, detached, ruthlessly efficient. Interested in psychology and why people do what they do. History (optional): Classified. Appearance (optional): Tall and skeletal, with prematurely silvered hair cropped off at shoulder length. Eyes are almost colorless. In other words, look at the little icon to the left of this profile, the one under my user name. Name: Mynah. Real name is Roger Uley, but he doesn't go by that anymore.

It's subtle, but if she catches you off guard with a request and you aren't actively on the alert for something like that to happen, you're more likely than not going to give in. It's... not done a lot for her so far in the story, but she's also always armed and has no qualms about killing people. It evens out. Personality: Can be charming, but with her associates she's sharp and businesslike. A bit irritable, she has no patience for fools. History (optional): Was a rich little girl, but then her father committed suicide after losing a load of money in a bad business deal. She carries those values with her to this day. Appearance (optional): Dark hair and eyes, bronzed skin, rather attractive. Dresses in a very businesslike manner. Name: Isaac Faraday Age: Mid 30s Grade: Not enrolled Powers/Gifts: Can send a jolt of energy through skin contact that will leave a person paralyzed for up to fifteen minutes. Personality: Not very sure of himself and knows he's not the brightest bulb in the box. Out of the three, he's the one who least likes the illegal stuff they've been getting up to. He also has a thing for Reina, who on her part seems completely uninterested. History (optional): Tried to make it as a jazz musician (trumpeter), got kicked out of his apartment, joined up with these guys to take care of debts. Appearance (optional): Dark hair and blue eyes, a little shorter than Mynah. Wears a suit to make the others happy when they're on a job, but he usually looks a little disheveled. Name: Mr. Leghorn, apparently Age: Unknown Grade: None. Powers/Gifts: Memory manipulation Personality: Friendly southern businessman with absolutely no morals.

It is very tiring to create illusions, especially when she's mixing a few of the sensations together. In order of least to greatest for difficulty to duplicate, the sensations are: sound, smell, sight, taste, touch, and pain. She tends to only use one or two of the senses together in one illusion. The more sensations she employs in an illusion, the more she has to concentrate on it in order to maintain it. 2. When creating and maintaining her illusions, the senses that they pertain to become much duller. When creating a sight illusion, for example, her vision becomes blurry and the only thing she can see clearly is the illusion. This is part of why her illusions seem a bit <em>too</em> real: often they are the only things that seem truly real to the illusionist.

Everything they can do stems from a mental control over something or someone. This is why they have a bond -- because of their relation and their similarity in powers, they're all especially sensitive to one another's feelings anyway, so it's very hard for them to lie to each other, and the bond Gracie inadvertently created as a baby just magnified the strength of that sense, so they can feel each other even miles apart. Individually: Gracie is the most powerful of them all, and also the weakest. Her senses go on forever. Everyone's thoughts and feelings in the whole world are available to her, the ones closest to her being the loudest, but she can hear and feel literally <em>everyone.</em> Because of this she has to constantly force them out of her head, or else she'd get overwhelmed and lose her mind. She can only lower her walls for seconds at a time, and only when she has extreme focus and a goal in mind as to what specifically she wants to know. She's still incredibly sensitive to other people, even with the walls up, although she can only sense vague ideas then. Annette's power, controlling the part of others' minds that controls their bodies, gives her an indirect control over their powers. She can't force them to <em>think</em> any differently; she can't influence thoughts, only bodies. And when she controls another's power, she can only use a small portion of it -- no huge displays of their ability, in other words. Sometimes she takes control of Gracie's power for a little while, so her sister can stop keeping her walls up and relax for a while. It's very hard for her to do that, though, and it strains her own mind immensely, so neither Gracie nor Nicholas allow her to do it much. Annette can control only two people at a time. Which means that she can control herself and another, or two other people at once, leaving her own body entirely without the ability to move, although she can still think (and thus use her power) In order to retain command of her own body, she must stick to controlling only one other person. Aaaand Nicholas's power is pretty much as I said, only he can't attempt too much at once, or else he'll get exhausted.

I've got a history for the both of them. Gene was orphaned when he was a toddler and passed around through the foster care system until he ended up at Liz's house. She had left to SBS by this time and Gene was sent soon after they found out about his powers. He's like a little brother to Elizabeth and she's really protective of him. She's seen him grow up and he doesn't make it past 18 or so. He just turns to ash and she's determined to find out why.

Raised to be polite and well-mannered, he tries to be a gentleman, but will easily forget it if he's in a fight. He's often overly heroic and bites off more than he can chew, but has a lot of stories because of it. Power/Gifts: Can control the anterior horn of the spinal cord, and able to disable certain muscle' movements. If he could one day hone it, he could cause Spinal Muscular Atrophy. He hardly can control it and it happens in *cliché* times of strong emotions. It makes him light-headed as well, as he's sort of sending an electric shock to someone. History (optional): Before the umbilical cord could be cut, Louis' future was planned out. He would hopefully continue in the oil industry and create a bigger legacy. But proud father, Edward Vanderbilt was in for a surprise when he got to hold Louis for the first time. One moment, Louis, secure in his arms, next thing, nurses scowling and the doctor gripping on to Louis' body, an inch from the floor. Edward doesn't remember much of it, and Velma was reacting to the meds so she didn't see. But these strange blackouts occurred in the family often always with Louis' presence, in various ways. It was a family secret and never spoke about. Louis often denied he could do something like cripple his mother, holding hands crossing the street. He hid it and acted out because of it, in his teen years. He couldn't control but he control how people saw him. Appearance (optional): Louis has a lanky appearance, almost that of a gazelle, lacking the gracefulness; this is evident when you see him limping down a path, left foot in cast. People oftentimes mistake him for a homeless person with his wild kinky brown hair in unruly dreadlocks, tied somewhat in a ponytail, and his peach skin always seems to be dirty. Nearsighted, he fails to wear his black squareish glasses, though it's merely personal rebellion (recently, he's had to wear them though because of his injury). The glasses frame his sparky grey-green eyes, as well. He seems to have his own personal sun 'cause he never wears jackets, and is favoring strangely colored tank tops. Name: Lise Maintire Age: 16 Grade: Sophmore Personality: Lise often may come off as shy at first-abrasive, even-but if you get to know her, she'll be inclined to be your best friend. With her ability she often has survivor's guilt because life would seem to come easier to her, but it what haunts her the most. So, she likes to stay low in most situations, avoiding attention in most things. She has a simple way of talking and looking at things, but can over assume on the smallest of threats. But then again, she's still a little weak to fight anyone, and rather fly in a "fight or flight" situation. Powers/Gifts: Lise's hematology can be controlled by her. She can control the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma in her blood as well as anything else. This can lend her the power to be relatively healthy and if cut, she can heal her wounds four times as quickly as normal. But, since blood chemistry is so delicate, she can render herself with some serious conditions if she ever abused it. And often there have been close calls because she is just mastering it. History (optional): She was five seconds from being delievered on the concrete sidewalk in front of Davis General Hospital, but her grandmother made sure her mother made it into the delievery room. First day born, and she couldn't trust people. Her father had promised to be there, but was already on his next drug deal. The money was more important then his baby's arrival into the world. As her life continued, her once sober mother relapsed and because of Lise's power has let her mother evade the social worker's concerns. No bruises, no problems. But it's left Lise emotionally bruised and a good hider and liar. Now that her grandmother is dead, going to the SBS will hopefully provide her the shelter and maybe friendship she needs. Appearance (optional): Lise's more round figure is proportionally distributed since she is slightly tall for her age. Still her hourglass figure makes her pretty in skirts, though they have never graced her body. Hidden behind normal jeans, teeshirts and bootleg Converse, her chocolate brown skin rarely looks sweaty. Her dark brown hair is cut short and tightly curled, often covered by messenger hats of sorts. But, her brown eyes are hollow and prone to make people feel sad.

She can also make other people invisible, but this takes a lot more effort. You can still feel and hear her when she's invisible. Personality: Chill would be a good word for her. She's a pretty relaxed, a go-with-the-flow kind of person. Mckenna can hang out with any group of people easily, though she prefers to stick with those higher-up on the social ladder. She doesn't anger easily, and is very forgiving, though long-term annoyance, abuse, etc. will cause her to snap. Mckenna is a bit of a people pleaser and her morals are very fuzzy. She's flirty with guys but not overly so. Appearance (optional): Mckenna has smooth milk chocolate colored skin, bouncy brown-black curls, and large, dark brown eyes. She's quite tall and curvy, a fact that she accentuates with tight or revealing clothing, though she's careful not to cross into the realm of slutty. I might add another one too...

And if you wanted to work on the brief summary while I did the character list, Contemptus, that would be super-awesome. C: Name: Spot Age: 17... I think Grade: Not enrolled Powers/Gifts: Can transform into a hyena. Or perhaps she's a hyena that can turn into a 17 year old girl. It's difficult to say. Personality: Wary of people she doesn't know and a survivor. Loves being outside, hates taking baths or being bossed around/hemmed in by others. Will react aggressively when provoked. Takes great joy in the simple things in life, like corndogs and chasing pigeons. History (optional): Well... Spot doesn't talk much about her past, and it hasn't come into things yet. Appearance (optional): Wiry without being skinny, with a strong jaw and an oddly hunched posture. Short dirty-blonde hair that never looks clean and tawny eyes. Always wearing a tattered trenchcoat that looks like she dug it out of the garbage. Name: Jonathan Everard Age: 20, I think. Maybe a little older. Grade: He WOULD be in the same grade as Oliver, but as of now he doesn't attend the school. Powers/Gifts: Um... this. http://thebuggiest.deviantart.com/gallery/25555789#/d35r4w6 It's not something he was born with, and it's DEFINITELY not something he's happy about. Personality: Stubborn and blunt. Usually he's rather grumpy about one thing or another and seems to enjoy arguing with people. When he's REALLY angry or upset though he retreats and sulks by himself. He does get over slights pretty easily though and is quite loyal as a friend. History (optional): A friend of Oliver's who disappeared about a year ago.

Name: Ryan Elizabeth Acari Age: 18 Grade: 12th - Senior in High School Powers/Gifts: Ryan has the strange, and hard to control, ability of manipulating the space around her, something she calls "Stepping". If you asked her, she would tell you that if she concentrates, she can "pull" on the threads that hold the universe together, moving them around so that she can move from one place to the next. In actually she is manipulating the atoms around her and stepping into the space between them, effectively allowing her to move from one space to the next too quickly for most to see. The downside of this is that Ryan has horrible spacial perception, and if she's really engrossed in some activity, or distracted in general, she can accidentally "step" from one place to the next. A lot of times this causes her to end up in places she didn't intend to go to, or causes her to break off conversations she gets really distracted by. Personality: Ryan is very out-there. She's an eccentric girl who struggles with serious issues of self worth, though hides it very well. To everyone she knows, she's bright smiles and sunny skies, if not a little crazy and innocent. In actuality Ryan is a very dark girl, with a severe dislike for herself. Other than that, she is very gentle and caring towards others, and easily has her feelings hurt. History: Ryan has terrible self worth issues because of her father, who abused her as a young girl due to her "freakish mutation." And to make matters worse, her mother tried to help by making her daughter as "pretty as can be," often talking about how if she was just PRETTIER then some boy would come and take her away, or her father wouldn't be nearly as mean. Because of both of them Ryan developed an eating disorder, which she still is suffering from today. Appearance: Very thin and pale, Ryan is the epitome of unhealthy. Her fair, curly blonde hair stretches down to her waist, and her clear blue eyes are somewhat unsettling, as she often stares right at a person with a dreamy look on her face. She's usually smiling, and wears a lot of loose, brightly colored clothes. Name: Cameron Marcus Levara Age: 22 Grade: College Powers/Gifts: Cameron has the ability to absorb unease. Like a form of empathy, he can sense negative emotions around him, but if he wishes he can take them away, but in turn has to suffer. Because of this, he often takes it upon himself to play therapist for people he genuinely cares about, but other times he often finds himself wishing he could just get rid of his so called gift. Because of this, walking into certain places is excruciating (a hospital, a funeral home, etc) while others are merely uncomfortable (school). Sensing the negative emotions of others is a painful experience all on it's own, let alone taking those feelings into himself. Personality: Short tempered, protective, and stubborn. Cameron doesn't take anyone's self pity or complaints lightly due to his ability, and if you try to give him some bs'ed excuse he will verbally rip you to shreds. He doesn't enjoy liars and he particularly hates people who belittle the emotions of others. However, if he doesn't somehow come to like you he is very protective and caring, and takes on the role of guardian or big brother. History: Cameron had a normal life. His parents never knew that he could sense their marriage failing, and never realized that their son even had this ability. He was recruited into the school after a scout recognized his ability one day when he was 15, while he was consoling a friend, who's cat had just died, and he has stayed there ever since. Appearance: Cameron is tall and dark, his russet skin contrasting with his stark grey eyes. He's fairly well built, as he takes out a lot of his own negative emotions at the gym, and he ink black hair that falls to just above his shoulders.

Name: Cain Amadeus Fitzpatrick Age: 13 Grade: Eight Powers/Gifts: Shape-shifting and mimicry. Personality: Generally quite fun-loving, though his sense of fun is a good deal more twisted than most, and sharp, in mind and wit. A little bit spoiled and a lot possessive of what he considers "his," he doesn't share well. Tends to get attached to animals quickly, and is usually trying to adopt them, whether they want it or not. History (optional): The baby of the Fitzpatrick clan, he didn't come to SBS with his older brother, as there was complications with his paperwork. Appearance (optional): It changes whenever he gets bored. Currently, he's of average height, with freckles and shaggy brown hair and pale skin. His eyes are bright blue -- like he's plucked Abel's out of his head and taken then for his own, really -- and he's more solidly built thathis brother. A side note for the Fitzpatrick brothers: There used to be three of them. Abel, the oldest, Cain, the youngest, and Adam Johan Fitzpatrick, the middle child two years older than Cain and younder than Abel. However, during a swimming competition off the coast of Ireland in less than safe conditions, Adam drowned when he was 11. Abel doesn't talk about him and Cain gets angry whenever he's brought up. Because of this, all of Abel's over-protective big-brother instincts are transferred to Cain, not that he seems to mind the attention. Each remaining brother has a memento that they wear or have on them at all times.

Power/Gifts: She can control the darkness around her and manipulate it for her own use. With considerable effort, she can remove the light from an entire room and draw strength from the darkness. With even more extreme effort she can create physical “minions” out of the shadows, or “shadow minions” if you will. However, most of the time, she can't do this without passing out. Naturally, she can see perfectly in the dark, but with this ability there is a weakness. Without aid, i.e. sunglasses, she will essentially be blinded by light during the day or when there is in fact a light source. Although, she can tolerate a very dimly lit room without glasses. Personality: Temi is independent and does not like being told what to do. She likes to be in control of every aspect of her life, and that includes not being restricted by the law. However, that's not to say that she's immoral, because she does consider herself to be a highly moral girl, and she is... up until the point when she can't get something that she wants. She's uncomfortable with going out into the light, as it gives her a constant headache and a feeling of vulnerability, but she has coped with it thus far, for the sake of her education. Despite her obvious preference of doing things her way and by herself, she is quite social, but her attempts at socialisation have been described by her mother as “like a tiger trying to play with a deer.” History (optional): It's fair to say that Temi didn't have an average childhood. With her eyes completely black, she was prone to bullying as a little girl. Doctors didn't know what the cause of her “eye condition” was, and there was apparently nothing like it before. Her classmates made fun of her for a long while, calling her names like “witch”, but growing up together in the same school, they soon grew to accept her as “normal”. It helped that she lived in a small town, so new people were a rarity. Because the world wakes up during the day, she has had to wear sunglasses most of her school life. When she was born her parents were actually reluctant to take her home from the hospital, but they, too, also very quickly learned to accept her as normal. Her parents are the only ones who know about her abilities. It was one afternoon, when Temi and her mother were yelling at each other, Temi screamed out and, instantly, the room was drowned in darkness. Naturally, her parents were freaked out, but Temi was their daughter, and instead of overreacting and thinking that she was possessed or some nonsense, once it was totalised that Temi could control it, they made one rule: that she couldn't use her ability in public. Appearance (optional): Temi is fairly pale and is pretty short and slim. She has short, straight and black hair, with bangs that cover the top half of her eyes, which are completely black. The vast majority of the time during the day she'll be wearing sunglasses, even if it's a very gloomy day, which people who don't know her think is weird. Her wardrobe is mainly dark coloured, and, combined with her pale tone, dark hair and completely pitch black eyes, it makes her appear pretty sinister.

In this short span, the following has happened: Originally, there was a Dean that was corrupt and evil. He was dealt with and the body never found. He was replaced with Huxley and life went on. No one talks about it. Afterwards, one student, Peachy, was targeted by an alien menace from her home-dimension, and in the process, Jenny -- a girl mind-melded with the school's computer systems, more or less-- is corrupted by a "virus" that could take control of her. During this time, the virus spread and took over another student, turning them on one another while the threat went undetected. It culminated in Peachy seeming to give her life to get rid of the threat. After that, there was a bit of a breather. Personal drama unfolded, and a small military team -- of one person -- showed up at school to check on someone. Peachy regenerated, in a fashion. Then a team of smugglers who had jobs in the school attacked Oliver in a convoluted attempt to get to Jenny (his little sister) and "hack the security system." However, the smugglers were caught and convinced to turn on their employers. They are now slightly-dubious Good Guys. A swarm of advanced robot minions attacked the school when the smugglers failed. A student is kidnapped, and the robots all "die" when the order goes out and the kidnapped student is spirited away. Which leads us to this: all of the remaining students are gathered in one room, reeling from the recent attack. They're organizing themselves into a militia, more or less, to get back their kidnapped compatriot before he can be sold into slavery or tortured or something. If any of the vets want to chip in, feel free. I might have missed some things. If anyone else has questions, feel free to ask.

They were given a choice about that or leaving to have their old boss hunt them down for their failure, and they chose staying. Other that that slightly nit-picky detail, the summary is wunderbar.

As in, you can have introductions and quirky interactions later, we have plot to get through first. And a rescue misson to power through. As far as I've thought about it, Jenny has called a meeting over the school's PA system in light of the robot attack and kidnapping, so everyone will just sort of bee-line to the specified location for the "This is what we're doing, and this is what's happened" meeting.

Honestly that would make it easiest to incorporate us newbies into it. We could be the new batch of supers that arrive and not really know what's going on, so at the beginning of the meeting the new Dean could address that fact. If that's ok with you all, I mean.

From having millions of pieces of information coming into him from hundreds of rats at the same time and broken into further pieces.

(Example: blood, clothing, etc.) Personality: He is rather adorable and innocent for his age. He loves exploring and is curious. He is adorable even though he is fourteen.... He seems like a young child.... and he is practically impossible to not love. History (optional): His parents died in a car crash and he went to an orphanage with a few other kids until he discovered his powers by helping another kid find their parents. He eventually found this school. Appearance (optional): He has messy brown hair and big, blue eyes, his skin is slightly tan and he is rather small and scrawny. He looks a little... underfed. He looks like 9 year old rather then a fourteen year old and he is pretty short for his age. He normally wears a beat up tshirt and a ripped up pair of jeans. (some of the few pieces of clothing he has.) he also weres a pair of crooked glasses. He is pretty... adorable.... I had too.... yeah he is normally a five year old so this might be interesting....

The following is just to make my life easier in a little bit. It's a list of every character going on the mission and a rough sum-up of what they can do. If I've left anyone out,or got something wrong, let me know. There was a lot to sift through. [quote] Chumsy -- McKenna: invisibility. TotalNerd -- Eliza: sesnory illusions, covering sounds. Buggy -- Mynah, Reina, Faraday, and Oliver: Sound manip, mind control, and stunning; body switching. BakuraBox -- Max: rats. Flipr Kid -- Nick: telekinesis, matter manip, making things explode. Frenzy -- Temi: shadow manipulation and weapons. ArtsyGirl -- Carmen: 3D projection of blueprints, maps and the like. Khan -- Shale: Words, gun and knife knowledge. Queen of Insects -- Spirit: light wings. Broadway -- Crissy: amping up pain. BeeBee -- Eugene: electronic manipulation; hacking, popping electronic locks. EpiskeyMe -- Cameron: negative emotion vacuum, guns/knife. Aero -- Mike and Adam: matter manipulation, energy manipulation. [/quote/ So that's seventeen, not counting Tear and Spit. So nearly 20 people altogether on a stealth mission. This is going to be ... interesting.

"Naturally, it's an isolated, elite place. You are sent a letter by post and expected to attend -- after all, why not be with those with similar powers -- for the duration of your schooling, however long that may be. From elementary school right up until university, SBS has it all." This means, the letters inviting you to the school would outline everything, from what it is to what they do to the school rules. This means the characters should know all that stuff unless they didn't read the letters. (Granted, they haven't been spelled out explicitly in the plot so the RPers aren't expected to know it, but we haven't really actually followed those supposed rules, so you really can have a character know all the rules without actually knowing what they are OOC. /goes to discuss making a post with all that stuff for future reference with Buggy and Contemptus) Mon, 20 Feb 2012 08:30:20 -1000 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/role-playing-and-communal-story-building/threads/49918?page=12#forum_thread_comment_1156245 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/role-playing-and-communal-story-building/threads/49918?page=12#forum_thread_comment_1156245 andreeacarmen thanks Bakura. i figured since it's all so secretive and all the letters wouldn't explain everything and clearly and direct.

They don't just arrive at a new semester,, there's kids who come in the middle of semesters and such. There used to be a more comprehensive post about how the school works during previous threads, but. Basically, I would think the letters work like any other private boarding school letters: You get a letter saying "You're invited to attend ____" and included would be packets of information and brochures. Keep in mind, it's a school of kids with super powers, and most of them know how to wield them and to defend themselves with these powers. Who sees the letter wouldn't matter much, really so long as the recipient was informed they were selected to attend. It's more efficient for the school cost-wise (and more efficient to the plot) for all that stuff to reach the students via letters or emails than have them sit in on a meeting for information they could have been given in other ways. /shrug Mon, 20 Feb 2012 08:50:12 -1000 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/role-playing-and-communal-story-building/threads/49918?page=12#forum_thread_comment_1156284 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/role-playing-and-communal-story-building/threads/49918?page=12#forum_thread_comment_1156284 andreeacarmen thank you for the info Bakura. it's my first time playing This rp :) so yeah this info comes up handy. so sorry for the previous outburst can't do much about it now.

Those staying behind are in the auditorium, splitting into two groups. Those on the bus, which has just now left, are being told who is in what group. The last two pages of the thread have the important info. But if it's been less than five pages since your post and the newest one, I suggest reading the backlog of posts or at the very least skimming and reading only the ones pertaining to your character instead of asking "What's going on now?" every other page. It keeps down on clutter, and is less confusing than asking what's going on and getting six different accounts of what happened last.

It's hard to keep track of everyone and our characters have to adapt to each one. You can't address to Tear same as to Gracie. (I can help you here I have done this a few times before) I don't think there is a need of list of groups I think regular updates done by participants after a few pages would clear everything?

POOOOOOST. Queenie: .... What would be the goal of the training arc, is what I meant. There have been clear goals in all of the previous plot arcs. For example: the first was a corrupt headmaster, and the characters reacted with rebellion cultivating in murder. The second was, I believe, an alien attack (and uber-computer virus) that was met with rebellion and murder. This plot arc was the climax of a long build up: the school being invaded by a human-smuggling ring, and the reaction was to go and get the kidnapped member back, as well as a free-the-rest-of-the-victims. There are clear .... endings for each of these plot threads. There is something strive for. What I'm worried about with your idea is the fact that there ... isn't an end-game. Or an end is sight, to be honest, since there is no 'perfect' and the character are always going to be striving for improvement. What I'm worried about is the thread-proper dying because of it, because people are bored with just another boarding/high-school school RP -- because that's what this thread would be without conflict, a high school rp with mutant-powers thrown into the mix -- and drop it, leaving us with nothing to show for it. So if anyone would like to add to Queenie's idea, please feel free.

I feel like it happens often. This might sort of fuck some past things up. Like the Jar O' Paul fiasco. So. Um. I'm sorry and I love you all and here's a cookie.</strike> Basically his power is being not human. Paul's a cross between a daemon and a faerie (both being a bit different than usual definitions in the canon). He's hella good at tree-climbing and forest-dwelling and whatnot. With skin-to-skin contact and one fuck ton of energy, he can exert a powerful brand of Influence over others, although this is rarely a handy tool. He used to be able to get tiny and grow wings and fly around all spritely-like, but, unfortunately, that bit got cut a few months ago by yours truly. Now he's more short and compact and remarkably more imp-like than faerie-like. So... bear with me? <strike>Here's more cookies because I love you. And honestly if this just doesn't jive with anybody I can revert him back to the Old Ways just for this RP I swear.</strike> <strong>Personality:</strong> Ha. Fairly unpleasant. <strong>History:</strong> Paul's made a habit of making bad choices, the sum of which have basically ostracized him from most (if not all?) of the student body that he's come into contact with. I'd like to say that good ol' Huxley shipped him home for an indefinite amount of time to.. um.. get better, and he'll be coming back after a while. (Timeskip, anyone?) <strong>Appearance:</strong> Likewise unpleasant. He's a short, stocky little fellow with a mop of messy, dark brown hair, a massive mouth and heavy lips, and disproportionately smaller nose and eyes (hazel in color; a fairly sickly mix of brown and yellow, with a few stray flecks of woodsy green). He's usually pouting. Or scowling. Or leering. Or smirking (unpleasantly). If you made him smile (like genuinely smile) you're probably his BFF (in which case you should probably run). <strong>Name:</strong> Tim Yves <strong>Age:</strong> (Damn. I forget how old he was before.) 30? <strong>Grade:</strong> N/A. He's the school counselor and Vice Principal. <strong>Powers/Gifts:</strong> Tim's body has no need for sleep, and his spit (yes, his saliva) has super-awesome magical healing properties. As in, he hacks one onto that cut on your arm, and it's gone. <strong>Personality:</strong> Very reserved. Much more apt to listen than he is to talk. Easily frustrated, although he is, for the most part, friendly. <strong>History:</strong> He was a lively fellow going to school to become an Army medic before he got into the accident that took his eyesight. Suffice it to say, he hasn't been the same, since. He used to be the school nurse, but got 'promoted' to counselor after a while (partially due to the fact that it's hard to heal injuries you can't see, and he was struggling). However, he still keeps kits of cotton swabs and vials of his magic saliva, should an emergency situation ever arise. <strong>Appearance:</strong> A tall, thin man with dark blond hair and hazy gray eyes. Always appears quite drawn, but look close enough and he's still just as handsome as he was before his accident. And one newbie: <strong>Name:</strong> Nicholas Perez (But he goes by Nick) <strong>Age:</strong> 17 <strong>Grade:</strong> High School Junior <strong>Powers/Gifts:</strong> Invisibility/Intangibility <strong>Personality:</strong> Tactfully friendly, if not frightfully unpersonable and distant. Don't expect him to ask you to join him for lunch. <strong>History:</strong> His powers developed quite suddenly, and not soon after, he got the letter inviting him to SBS. <strong>Appearance:</strong> One might say sickly thin. Rather short, as well. Short brown hair and thick eyebrows and brown eyes. A pair of thin-framed glasses that he wears with sporadic regularity. He wears the same three pairs of fairly tight-fitting jeans constantly, and the same collection of perhaps five or six baggy shirts (but who's counting?). And Dr. Martens. The same pair of shiny black Dr. Martens, always. (They give him an extra inch, or at least he's determined to believe so.) All in order? Anyone else I ought to bring back? Details I should change?

I also bring a plot-idea, for consideration. Waaay back before the site-wipe, the IDN infected two people with nanites... Perhaps we could revisit that and build off of it? The IDN's goal back then hadn't gotten past changing people's behavior to get them to infect other people, but after achieving a certain number of infections, lots of interesting things can happen. (Ideas for the interesting: disrupted powers, amplified powers, gaining a minor new ability, loosing some or all abilities... so essentially, the nanites would have an effect on an infected person's abilities. And probably other stuff.) And after leaving y'all with that to consider, I'm probably not going to be online tomorrow. &gt;.&lt; Bother. Goodnight.

Um... Name: Kerri Rowe Age: 20 Grade: Somewhere in college Powers/Gifts: Gender Transformation. That needs no further explanation :D ... except maybe that Kerri's personality as a boy is a little different to her personality as a girl. Personality: The female version of Kerri is far more outgoing and eccentric than the male version, who, although mischievous and curious to some extent, still has his boundaries. Initially, Kerri would be her usual self, but as time goes on, and she's stays as a specific gender for a long length of time (more than eight weeks) she will become less eccentric; her attention span and concentration will increase, her curiosity and quirkiness will decrease, and she considers her self to be less fun, which is why she switches frequently. History (optional): Kerri was born as a girl (just to clear things up :D). When she experienced her first switch she freaked out. When she knew that she wasn't dreaming, and she was actually a boy, she went through the options in her head, suicide, running away, before finally settling on the more sensible solution of the two, and ran away. She was able to take care of herself and eventually managed to control her ability. Appearance (optional): Kerri has short, wavy, dark green hair, and dark green eyes. her male version doesn't look that much different from her, apart from a little stubble, and obviously looking a little more "manly". People who have seen both versions of Kerri often assume that they're brother and sister.
