~ALWAYS ACCEPTING~



Greetings (........),

We are pleased to inform you have been formally invited to Zandore’s School for the Gifted also popularly known as Zandore's Boarding Academy. As you might have heard, Zandore’s School for the Gifted has no age restrictions. We are proud to assure you that you will be unable to find facilities measuring up to our standard anywhere else in the world. Your school fees will be waived and you will even receive a monthly allowance; the amount depending on your performance here.

Why have you been granted this opportunity? That is because you are extraordinary. You may or may not have come to realize it but you possess talents beyond common comprehension. It can be even said you are a 1 in 10,000,000 prodigy. If you join us, you will find yourself in a place built specifically to help you succeed along with hundreds of others your age and similarly gifted. Giving up this chance would be a terrible waste of your abilities. We hope you understand the opportunity we are presenting you. Within this letter contains all the pertinent information about Zandore's Boarding Academy and all you need do is to fill in the registry and reply.

I look forward to the good news.

Sincerely,
Zandore the III
Headmaster of Zandore’s School for the Gifted

Premise
You are one of the recipients who have received the special invitations to Zandore’s Academy. It is famed to be the most unique ‘school’ in the world yet many consider it a complete enigma. Located east of Chiba, Japan, Zandore’s Academy is supposedly found on an offshore island. It has extraordinarily large grounds and a plethora of facilities. As destiny or fate or maybe your parents had it, you enrolled into the school. Unbeknownst to you, you will be forced into the 'Supernatural Studies' club where you will encounter pleasures and horrors alike. Your story begins as you wait along Yokohama port for the school's private ferry to arrive...

I have a question

The character I'm making so far has got a bunch of stuff to do with blood

How much blood are we going to be encountering here?

And also, what do you mean by school year?

School year wasn't meant to be in the CS, my bad.

Uhmmm, as the supernatural studies club, we might encounter more dangerous situations than normal but majority of the time there should be little to no blood.
Your initial student rank will be given by me after I review your CS.

Name: Kobayashi, Kimiko
Date of Birth: 12 July 1996
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Measurements:
Height: 154cm (5ft)
Weight: 43kg (94lb)
Bust: 75cm (29.5in)
Waist: 60cm (23.6in)
Hip: 80cm (31.5in)

Personality: Optimistic and friendly to just about everyone. She's the type who likes to be helpful, partly because it makes her feel like an equal to people who don't have prosthetic legs. Always looking for an excuse to build something new and amazing. Unfortunately her eagerness can make her a bit too trusting and somewhat gullible. She will happily admit to being a cyborg and generally doesn't take offense to comments about her legs, in fact, seeing it as being complementary. Kimiko is also something of an otaku at heart and yearns for the day when she can finally construct a real life functioning gundam, like the one in Odaiba.

History: Born to a wealthy family as an only child. Her father works for Honda and is a lead designer for ASIMO, Honda's most advanced humanoid robot. Both of her legs from just above the knee onward were lost in an unfortunate car accident and have since been replaced with advanced prosthetic legs designed by her father and his team. This event inspired her to learn all she could about robotics and prosthetics in particular. She read every research paper, article, and publication she could get her hands on. She even interned at Honda for some time, working alongside her father. It was clear for everyone to see that she was going to become a brilliant robotics engineer, so when she got an invitation for Zandore's School for the Gifted she jumped at the chance.

Subject: Robotics/ Computer Science/ Calculus/ Applied Science/ Biology/ General PE

Preferred Housing: West View

Unique Factor: <<Robotics/Biomechatronics prodigy>>. Kimiko is able to visualize complex systems and machines in her mind and bring them to life much like an artist would paint an image in their mind before putting it on canvas. Although she has yet to build anything wildly innovative or revolutionary she is constantly improving at a remarkable rate. Building robots comes as naturally to her as walking (lol).

Appearance:

Name: Di Sangue, Gabriel

Date of Birth: Unknown

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Other Stuff:
Height: 180cm (6 foot)
Weight: 78 kg (171 pounds)
Blood Type: AB-

Personality: Gabriel is often found alone in the dark, but he is in fact an extrovert. He always carries around a handheld umbrella and he also always has a spare blood bag for emergencies (you’ll see why later).

He is the thinking type as he is most often thinking to himself and observing his surroundings. He’ll make some careful observation before speaking up in a group.

He can't do outdoor sports and is bad at indoor sports because he never did sports in general. Instead he usually tries to find a dark place to sit in and observe people from. If he's not doing that he usually goes and studies stuff about blood and biology.

He dislikes the fact that he's tall because it puts him closer to the sun and its harder to find clothing that covers him fully because he's that tall.

History:

Subjects: Biology, Alchemy, Magic, Psychology, Exorcism, Assassination

Preferred Housing: Anywhere which has good shade so he doesn't have to worry about sunlight when in the dorm.

Unique Factor: <<Sanguine>>

Gabriel’s unique factor allows him to have a ‘sense’ for blood. Based on the feeling he gets from blood, he can gain a lot of information from it such as its blood type, how old it is, abnormalities and other things just by focusing on the specific feeling. He can feel blood through any surface, including human bodies and even steel walls. The ability only works up to a range of 50m and anything after that and he can’t sense it. If he is in contact with the blood, he can tell how it came to be there and how much of it he is in contact with among other things. If he ingests the blood, then he can tell the current status of the blood’s owner and he becomes aware of the feeling of that person’s blood when he focuses on it to an indefinite range. Also, if he focuses on the blood he is ingesting, then he can also detect the feelings the person had when the blood left their body.

The ability works on any kind of blood, and is accurate on an unknown level. Gabriel has even trained it so that he can feel how blood is moving inside a person’s body and how it flows into more specific parts if he focuses hard.

Rofls, Drawings means I do not want images of real life people. I prefer visualizing 2d characters and anime designs are right up my alley hence the [anime] in the interest check. The Unique Factor should have its own name and a short description about it.



Midori, do you mind elaborating more on your Unique Factor? To what degree is Kimiko a prodigy? Other than that, I see no problems with the CS, I love the prosthetic legs idea!

Fair skin, green eyes, chestnut brown hair. It's rare to see Victor in anything more casual then a suit. He'll often be in semi-formal attire at all times.

Name: Steiner, Victor

Date of Birth: December 13, 1995

Gender: Male

Personality: Victor is a goodie two shoes. He's proper, polite, and sensitive, not timid, but rather calm and quiet. He is more than happy to step aside and let others have the spotlight, because it's what is "expected" of him. His grades in most classes are strong, but he really shines in any form of science class, specifically biology or anatomy related classes *see Unique Factor* He is, however, atrocious at learning languages or anything creative, something that he's very shy to admit to. He can become so focused on a task that he becomes oblivious to all else around him, making him the frequent target of practical jokes, both harmless and harmful, depending on the offending party. He becomes flustered easily, turning neon red when things go wrong or he makes a mistake. This tends to make the situation snowball even more.
Victor has a thick German accent that gets worse the more flustered he becomes.

History: Victor was born to an incredibly skilled and famous surgeon during an illicit affair that almost cost the man his career. Instead of being shuffled off to distant relatives, he was instead accepted by his foster mother, on the condition that he never have any contact with his biological mother. Victor is aware of this, but seems content with his current family set up. His childhood was warm and nurturing, but his father's career and time in the spotlight instilled a deep sense of expectation on the boy. He became painfully aware that he was in the public eye at all times, and as such behaves with the utmost care. Because of this, however, Victor has developed a particularly bad habit of being unable to relax unless completely alone, worried about what others may think of him.

Subject: Alchemy, Advanced Biology, Advanced Chemistry, Japanese *he is still struggling to fully learn the language, a fact that drives him absolutely insane*

Preferred Housing: Academia

Unique Factor: Körperwissen. Victor has an uncontested, almost obsessive, understanding of the human body, able to pinpoint nerves, tendons, veins, and vital organs with frightening accuracy, able to stab a location and paralyze the entire body, set a broken bone with a tug, or tap a specific point to loosen muscles and remedy joint pain. It's generally accepted by his family that he will surpass his father as a surgeon.

Name: Ren Hayashi
Date of Birth: 15 October 1997
Gender: Female

Personality: Ren has always kept to herself. She’s not very loud and never speaks unless she is sure of herself, due to her habit of stuttering when she is embarrassed. Although she's naturally a quiet person, she is also very witty, clever, intelligent, and kind. Normally she's a very polite and patient person but can become irritated easily by the right person (or the wrong person I guess). She's normally lost in her thoughts and is often observing other people.

History: Since her father left before she was born, Ren was born to a single mother. To this day she has never met her father. When she received the letter from Zandore Academy, she was living with her mother, grandparents, aunt and uncle and their children. She shared a room with her obnoxious cousin who detested Ren. Although she cares a lot about her mother, she decided to leave the house so that she wouldn’t have to worry about Ren as much.

Subject: Alchemy/Magic/Tactics/Assassination

Preferred Housing: West View

Unique Factor: Illusions. Ren would often practice her power on the cousin she shared a room with, and found that she could create many different illusions by concentrating hard enough. She could make herself seem invisible, or even cause her cousin to have a thirty-minute conversation with a friend that never even called her. Although she has a difficult time controlling it and creating clear illusions, her ability becomes more a little more powerful with every illusion she creates.

Name: Gant Alvin

Nickname: Al

Date of Birth: 3rd of Febuary, 1997

Gender: Male

Personality: Al is for the most part an upbeat and friendly person, he tries to be enthusiastic and energetic in everything he does and treat others politely. Despite being among the older students he isn't the most mature, often seen by others as child like and reckless, acting with little forethought and planning. While he doesn't always show his sensitive side, usually hiding it behind a boyish façade, Al is very protective and caring of his friends.

History: Al was born and raised in the UK, he discovered his gift around his 7th birthday when he was taken abroad by his parents and able to read everything and understand everyone with ease. Combining his love of history with his gift the boy was absorbed into a world of discovery and knowledge, medieval and Latin texts, Celtic runes on old stones, the hieroglyphics of Egypt each furthered his academic prowess. Unfortunately his focus on language and history wasn't enough for the public school system and he ended up falling behind in things like geography and mathematics, he was hampered by the limitations of his gifts and for a little while it looked like everything was going wrong. That was when he was invited to join the academy.

Subjects: Magic! Alchemy, Exorcism and History.

Preferred Housing: West view.

Unique Factor: 'Linguistic Blessing' Al is able to understand and read almost any language spoken though cannot write or reply in these languages.

I'm debating a few ideas right now but my main one is a girl who can see someone's entire life and possibly into their future/to death. This would be done by touch but I don't know if it's too over the top?

Maybe she could "see" it, but only acknowledge small portions of it. After all, remembering the entirety of a life would take up quite the amount of energy. But I'm not the GM, so I have no say. Oh, hey Midori! Remember me from that anime club RP, where the GM dropped off the face of the planet on day 2?

Name: Tadashi, Kanzen

Date of Birth: 29, February, 1996 - He has only celebrated his actual birthday four times, started from the year of his birth, and the three proceeding quartets. The next leap year is 2016.

Gender: Male

Personality: Though he is reserved most of the time and looks like he can’t hurt a fly, he is most definitely intimidating with a firearm in hand. But during his time of R&R, the young man is surrounded by a soothing aura, one which calms down those around him, and places them under a feeling of serenity. Even with such a frail composure, he keeps his back straightened at all times. Kanzen is driven by the ideal that constant training and improvement renders better results. And said results can assist himself and others. Common in generous people such as him, he values the safety of others over himself, and doesn’t take a moment to leap into action. Don’t be fooled, he most definitely does not jump in blindly, rushing boldly into conflict with his head cut off. The young man analyzes the scenario as it progresses, and acts accordingly. Its because of this quickened mind-processing that he excels in tactics, to astounding extents.

His deeds could almost be considered noble, but in all honesty, he is more motivated by guilt. The thought of remaining as a bystander lets culpability burrow deep within his heart. All in all, he tends to play the shy guy role, catching others off guard with his spur of the moment actions. He can be socially caught off guard, revealing a laudable and entertainingly flustered side to him.

History: The Tadashi family was an economically stable house, which made its way through society as a mediately ranked cog, within the machine of life. Born as an only child to a mother who graciously worked as a primary school teacher, and a father who ran and presided over a firing range. Even though he was born from an uncommon relationship, which most believed would be full of holes in opinions and agreements, they named their child after the characters Completely and Correct. As if he was a complete package, a fulfilled life which they birthed into existence. However, the boy wasn’t truly cut out as a wielder of reality. Instead, like many before him, he fell to fate’s whims, unable to direct his life by his own personal beliefs. But, there was something about Kanzen which was ”Completely correct”; Or, more accurately, spot-on, or pinpoint in applicancy.

It was his accuracy. After being exposed to firearms by his lenient father, the boy took to the practice naturally with flying colors. Only restricted by the capability of his body, which was and still is skinny and meekly in complexion. You name it, he partook in it. Skeet shooting, hunting, sport, whatever it was, he had planted his own little flag in it. With a name made for himself, it wasn’t a surprise when his mother ecstatically bursted into his room, then proceeded to prance around with a letter raised high in her hands. The young man had to make a break for the stove, as she had left the water boiling for too long. Once the woman finally calmed down and stopped spurting out jollity comments, she refrained from her previous actions and gave Kanzen the letter. Although he had been expecting it from the day he graduated from high school, he couldn’t help but to take part in celebrating himself. But he didn’t jump around the room like a rabbit, unlike his mother. Instead, he rose a fist to the air, mentally ran some motivational phrases through his mind, then went to the firing range to vent out the mixture of emotions he was feeling.

Subject: Advanced Geometry, General PE, Tactics, Ballistics Training, Geography, Assassination, Combat Simulation

Preferred Housing: West View

Unique Factor:
«Licit Ballistics»
Being birthed to a father who ran a gun range, and brought in a decent income, he was exposed to firearms at an early age. Regardless of the fact that it is generally looked down upon in society, seeing a toddler handle a .22 chambered pistol. At first he was constantly watched over, after all, he was just a mere boy. But as time progressed, the boy’s flying colors began to show, giving leeway for a flawlessly accurate marksman to surface from beneath a childish canvas. His coined factor changes the way his body operates in a couple of diverse ways. Among the entitled perks, anatomical performance improvement is not on the list, leaving his physical capabilities lacking. But in contrast, his nerves do not acknowledge the pain received from recoil, allowing him to keep his accuracy at a constant. He also “feels the bullet”, and can lead shots with calculations made in the blink of an eye. Though the kickback of firearms do not register, by no means is he completely invincible to side effects of recoil. Though he may be more resilient than most, he can still contract a bruise or an impression if firing for prolonged periods of time Along with being able to see the trajectory of bullets, he is also pretty good at dodging them, reacting in a split second. Unfortunately, this lightning fast reaction time does not effect normal things, such as saving a glass which is accidentally bumped off the counter, or evading an uppercut from a ticked off classmate.
