Ok. Tell me if I made any mistakes. I originally designed this to be a Chakra/Power teacher because I thought it was open. Made a few changes for a Dean application. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dean Application [b]Full Name:[/b] Andante Vermaux [b]Alias/Assassin name:[/b] Xero [b]Age:[/b] 25 [b]Personality:[/b] Andante has a very careful personality. He is patient and polite, though he can be somewhat aggressive and dangerous if given extreme circumstances. For the most part he is well collected, composed and a withdrawn individual that is typically on top of his emotions. He thinks things through to a great detail before acting on them and always works with a plan. He isn't rash or rambunctious in the slightest and wouldn't ever just act based on the heat of the moment or the necessity of the situation. Even when under pressure he is still able to take step back, look at the whole picture, and plan accordingly. A key feature of Andante's personality is his ability to be understanding and his lack of being judgmental. He can take any case and any situation in for consideration. It is due to this quality that he is an excellent teacher. Even the most hard-on, rough, anti-social, vulgar pieces of work are worth his time. He isn't arrogant or condescending and treats all as adults. He knows each individual is different, with a different story and a different facet of skills, thus he approaches each situation with the same calm, calculating consideration he would everything else in his life. His patience and adaptability know, really, no bounds. [b]Skills:[/b] Long Range assassinations. He is fair in terms of weapons and poisons, but his greatest ace is in power based assassinations and he is an individual that specializes in killing individuals with strong powers. He is very skilled in magical theory and different forms of new age magic as well as the arcane, thus his book and studies are fairly advanced. [b]Weapons:[/b] None [b]Powers:[/b] Lightning/Electric Manipulation [b]Background:[/b] Andante came from a family of little to no importance and was a child of little to no significance. He wasn't a prodigy or a born killer like some. He started off as an impoverish orphan who's mother died from a drug overdose and father was, well, who knows? He grew up with another band of orphans that spent most of their time stealing and working odd, random, sometimes illegal, jobs for slave wages. They were always involved in trouble and in the little city he was from they had somewhat of a notorious reputation. One day, the most prominent militant force sought to exterminate them. Andante was around 12 years old, give or take, when they came in with batons and fireballs. He discovered his ability that very day while accidentally killing all his friends when they were caught by an officer and, immediately after, killing a forth of the force coming after him. Andante sought to use these powers that he found to make his life better. Sure, the murder of his friends bothered him, but the intoxicating sensation of utilizing his extraordinary power was far more distracting that, as he'd call it, crying over a bunch of wimps. Andante stole and killed, typically barely so, but he managed to survive with his abilities. That was, until he accumulated a small little bounty on his head. It was only 3 months of enjoying and experimenting with his new found abilities that an assassin was sent after him. Unlike the local police force, this assassin was adept at killing and familiar with fighting another that held powers. They beat him easily and were prepared to kill him like a mutt in the streets. Whether fortune or fate, Andante was saved by an old man. His father. His father was also an assassin, sworn to a certain place the young boy didn't know about. Just like his father, they held the same ability. An ability that was spawned through biological and genetic manipulation a generation prior with a meld of highly volatile radiation upon his grandfather. His father took him in, to Andante's confusion, and taught him. He taught him caution and patience and the tact necessary to be a true assassin. He taught him to steal and to kill anyone that could remember him. He taught him how it was to be efficient, dangerous and mighty. It was his father that gave him the codename "Xero" and it was his father that raised his name to the level of being considered for the Assassin's league. When he was 15 he was admitted. Naturally, the boy had a knack for studying. It wasn't without extreme, strenuous effort, but he managed to be one of the top assassins of his class. He survived the threats, ploys and attempts from his classmates, passed all his curriculum with honors, and graduated to be an exemplary member of the Assassin's league. There was an opening for an instructor and, seeing it as a way to further himself, he took the opportunity. For a few years he was instructor he demonstrated great leadership ability and quickly was promoted to dean. As of now this is his first year as the Dean of the League.
