~ Welcome to Sanctuary ~

Bee

_{Abigail ‘Bee’ Thompson || 02/14/1999 || 24 years old || Bisexual || #F8BDC3}

Appearance:

• First and foremost: PLEASE ignore the neck tattoos that Midjourney for some reason gave her. I couldn’t get Midjourney to fuck off.
• Abigail has many piercings! She has several in each ear, and a stud in her nose. She also has a belly button piercing and it’s entirely possible she has more most people aren’t privy to
• She is short and smol, standing at roughly 5’3”
• Abigail has very vivid facial expressions
• Her voice is best described as silky, luscious, or sultry. It’s anyone’s guess if she means it or not, but sometimes Abigail seems to deliberately say certain things to get a rise out of people

Occupation:

Abigail arguably works for her grandparents’s family shop and tea garden: Magnolia Manors. Mostly, she exists in the shop sometimes.

Biography:

Abigail, more commonly known around Sanctuary as ‘Bee,’ is a spirited young woman who thrives on chaos. Born and raised in Sanctuary, her entire life has been one long journey to leave this place, something that was stopped at the last second by her elder brother; a transgression which Bee will never forgive. She finds solace and freedom in skateboarding, something that she has done since she was barely four years old. Her father was a professional, and taught her as much as he could before he and his wife tragically passed away in a skiing accident in the Alps when she was seven years old.

From then on, she and her brother were raised by their grandparents. While her brother bounced back from the tragedy, Abigail never really did. Despite being as gifted as her brother in academics, Abigail dropped out of high school in the final stretch: the first semester of senior year. Since then, she has struggled to make any progress toward leaving Sanctuary, and often finds herself yearning for something more than what the town has to offer.

She can often be found ‘working’ at her aging grandparents’s flower shop, Magnolia Manors. This really just means that Abigail can sometimes be found behind the counter. Whether or not she’ll actually ring someone up is anyone’s guess.

Misc:

• She loves Sanrio (her favorite is My Melody)
• Abigail is an avid weed smoker, if she had money or ambition she would open a dispensary, which she would call Emerald Studios. Unfortunately, she has neither.
• If she hears one more time about how much potential she’s wasted, she might scream
• She loves music and is never found without her headphones around her neck
• Her precious hat, which only leaves her head to shower, was a gift from a dear friend. Abigail has lovingly pinned it with accessories and stickers she’s somehow gotten to stay on the fabric. It is her most prized and beloved possession
• She cannot drive a car, not that it matters in a place like Sanctuary. Anywhere that matters, she can skateboard to. Once in a while, Abigail can be found riding around town on a dirt bike that's not exactly street legal and she never wears a helmet on. What are they gonna do? Arrest her?

Brad

_{Bradley Thompson || 30 || 01/02/1993 || Heterosexual || #FFAA19}

Appearance:

• Shockingly tall, especially compared to his sister. 6’3”
• Wears an expensive watch

Occupation:

Works remotely as a cloud engineer for a software company based in Silicon Valley. Moved away from Sanctuary and lived in California after graduating high school, only came back because of his ailing grandparents

Biography:

Most people who know Bradley Thompson these days would be surprised to hear he’s from a rural place like Sanctuary. He’s been living in California since he graduated high school fourteen years ago and moved away to go to school in California. Since then, Bradley has changed. When he first left, he would come back to Sanctuary at almost every opportunity, but that slowed over time. Once a month became during the holidays, that became the ‘real holidays,’ which eventually became just Christmas. Despite what his sister and some of the other locals think, Bradley would have loved to come by more often but as he made it through college and his career began to take off, it became difficult.

With that difficulty came distance. His grandparents barely understood how to turn a smartphone on, and his baby sister would barely talk to him. Bradley lost touch with what was happening back home, he didn’t hear about his sister dropping out of high school until her nineteenth birthday — the catalyst for his rocky relationship with Abigail. After a screaming match over the phone, Bradley retracted his offer to allow her to move in with him so she could get out of Sanctuary. Despite his best attempts, their relationship is rocky at best.

It wasn’t until his grandmother called him and let him know that they were barely able to keep the doors open to the flower shop and that the bank was going to be knocking on the door to foreclose on his childhood home sometime soon that Bradley had a realization that being this disconnected from home was not okay. He worked it out with his superiors, and agreed to take on a remote position.

Moving back, Bradley has been struggling to juggle reconnecting with his sister, old friends, and reigniting old flames. He’s taken a position as the manager of the flower shop, and has also been remodeling the house — which he paid off as one of the first things he did after arriving.

Misc:

• Voted most likely to succeed when he graduated high school
• Eagle scout
• Smokes weed, but does it secretly because he thinks his grandparents wouldn’t approve. They would, and they smoke themselves, but Bradley is too anxious to admit it.
• He knows nothing about flowers and desperately relies on his sister to teach him things. She mostly refuses.
• Somewhat misses the hustle and bustle of California

Anthony Stark

Iron Man || New York City born & raised || 48 years old || Avengers Team Leader

History

Anthony Stark was adopted at birth by industrialist Howard Stark and his wife, Maria Stark. With his considerable resources, it would be easy for Tony Stark to find and reconnect with his birth parents - if they’re even alive - but he has no interest in that. Even when he was very young, Tony was only interested in one thing: moving forward. He was very young when his parents died in a tragic car accident due to faulty brakes, and he took over their munitions company: Stark Industries.

Under Tony’s watchful eye, the company grew from a munitions firm into a multinational corporation with a range of interests covering all types of contemporary scientific industry, and with Tony at the helm of Stark Industries’s R&D division the company became the leading figure in the cutting edge of electronics. He purchased the car company that built the car his parents were driving, and fixed the errors in the brake system himself.

While showing off new military tech in an active warzone, Tony Stark’s escort back home was attacked. In the attack, shrapnel was lodged in his chest and he was kidnapped. When his captors tried to force him to build Stark Industries weapons, Tony Stark reacted in the only way he knew how: defiantly. With the help of another captor as his assistant, Stark fashioned a rudimentary version of one his projects back home: the Arc Reactor. He used it to power a massive suit of armor he piloted to escape captivity.

Tony Stark became a man obsessed with fixing the damage he’d done. Having seen what Stark Industries weapons had done to destabilize peace around the world, Tony Stark became the world’s first superhero: he began dismantling military sects utilizing his weapons, and continually iterated on his suit to improve its usability.

Tony threw himself at his work, constantly upgrading and looking forward toward the next mission. It was all that mattered, and his personal relationships suffered. His relationship with his assistant, Pepper Potts, never recovered.

It wasn’t until after an incident where Tony duked it out with an enemy in the streets of New York that he went public as Iron Man.

From there, the story of Iron Man is so well known even a five year old could tell it. Everyone knows the entire story: Following the incident in New York, Tony Stark led the Avengers alongside Steve Rogers for years to come. It wasn’t until recently that Tony Stark invented time travel, defeated the Mad Titan Thanos, and brought everyone back from the Blip.

Following that, Earth became an Avengers world: the first of many. To this day, Tony Stark is still recovering from the damage he sustained using the Infinity Stones, but the legend of a single snap of his fingers has reached the farthest reaches of the universe. Tony Stark leads Earth’s mightiest heroes from the comfort of Avenger’s mountain, mainly piloting his suits as drones when he needs to be involved, and trying to discover a way to heal his body to a point where he can be physically involved once again.

He’s always looking forward to the next threat, the next mission, the next thing he needs to do to protect his universe.

Powers

Billionaire, philanthropist, playboy… Tony Stark is many things, but a ‘super-powered’ hero is not one of them. Compared to some of his peers, Anthony Stark is little more than a man in a tin-suit. His greatest strength is his intellect, ranging from his ability to build things such as the aforementioned tin-suit, to being able to accurately predict what will happen in events such as the superhero civil war. Tony ranks among the most brilliant minds in the multiverse, and is widely regarded as the greatest engineer, and Reed Richards considers him to be the greatest multitasker of all time.

Using his mind, Tony built the Iron Man suit, where he gains his more heroic powers. While in the suit, Tony is capable of the following:

• Flight
• Super Strength
• Super Speed
• Repulsor Rays
• Unibeam
• Energy Blade
• Lasers
• Missiles
• Telepath Tasers (designed to prevent telepaths from using their powers)
• Telepathy inhibition (Tony’s armor can block telepathic signals)
• Energy Shields

Tony Stark was able to create all of this and more on his own. The armor has gone through many, many renditions, and likely will go through many more. A person like Tony Stark never stops innovating.

Story Arcs

Superheroes Anonymous: Tony Stark leads a group similar to Alcoholics Anonymous for superheroes who have had substance abuse issues related to the stress of their work.

Finding Love: Tony Stark has only ever loved one thing in this world, himself. Nursing his wounds, he will hopefully have time to build a relationship.

Healing: Tony needs to heal from the battle at the Avengers compound against Thanos in more ways than one. He deals with PTSD from the incident to this day.

Marvel: Judgment Day

I would be interested in joining this rp, although I have a quick question. Are we allowed to play as OC's, or are we supposed to play just canon characters?

@Eviledd1984

to my knowledge, OCs are acceptable as well! Seems to be a mix of them :)

Laura

20 years old || Krakoan American || Former X-Force Member || X-23

History

Sometime ago, an organization known simply as ‘The Facility’ was tasked with creating a clone from DNA stolen from the mutant Wolverine. There were twenty two failed attempts, before the geneticist Sarah Kinney was finally able to find some success with a female subject: X-23. Kept in captivity the child was raised not as a human being, but as a weapon. From ages seven to eleven, X-23 completed many missions for the Facility’s financial gain. Despite Sarah Kinney’s best efforts to keep her somewhat humane, the years of abuse caused X-23 to become emotionally stunted, something she still struggles with today.

The Facility developed something called ‘The Trigger Scent’ that sends X-23 into a violent, bloodthirsty rage. They tested it by forcing X-23 to kill her best friend and sensei.

Sarah Kinney let X-23 out once, not to let her enjoy freedom, but on a personal vendetta where she rescued her abducted cousin, Megan. Later, X-23 was used as a pawn in a battle of corporate greed between Sarah Kinney and Zander Rice, the chief scientists of the Facility. X-23 killed Rice, but in the end, the trigger scent was used to force X-23 to kill Sarah.

As the scent wore off, and X-23 held onto her dying mother, Sarah finally gave her a name: Laura.

Laura tracked down her cousin and her mother’s sister, moving in with them. Laura and her cousin bonded over their time together, and Laura confided in her about being an assassin and being forced to kill her own mother. Her aunt’s boyfriend was revealed to be a Facility agent sent to force her to kill her cousin and aunt using the trigger scent, but Laura was able to outsmart him and kill him instead. Her old handler and some remaining Facility Agents attacked them at their home.

Laura was able to fight them off on her own and then instructed her aunt and cousin to assume new identities, identities originally meant to be used by Laura and Sarah to escape the Facility. After this, Laura made a decision: She would find the man who made her creation possible, and kill him and then herself, bringing an end to their violent legacy.

Laura was able to track Wolverine down to Xavier’s mansion. When Logan left the grounds, Laura confronted him. Coming face to face with her biological father for the first time was a strangely emotional moment for Laura, but she engaged him in battle. She defeated him with her superior tactics and maneuverability, then explained her plans. Logan put it simply:

“Ya can kill me, but I ain’t lettin’ ya kill yerself.”

Laura was thrown off by this, having someone seemingly genuinely care for her was… strange. Her delayed reaction was enough for Captain America to burst onto the scene to arrest her as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Somewhat confused and somewhat relieved at the opportunity to atone for her crimes, Laura surrendered happily to the Captain.

While in S.H.I.E.L.D.’s captivity, Laura was questioned by Matt Murdock, who found her to be innocent, despite the mayhem she caused in the past. Captain America later freed her to keep her from being exploited by S.H.I.E.L.D. as a weapon.

From here, Laura returned to New York to spend time with her father. She had many adventures here, including a fight with the Hulk. Wolverine was ordered to assemble an X-Force, and X-23 joined the team happily. Here, she was able to use her talents from her time in the Facility for what she believed were the forces of good. Later, when X-Force disbanded, Laura spent some time with her father and Jubilee.

After traveling with them, she decided to embark on her own adventures, to see if she could be more than just a killer. A hero, that’s all Laura has wanted to be.

Much later, Laura found her way back to the X-Men. Now living in Krakoa, Laura has been asked by her father if she’s interested in taking on the name ‘Wolverine.’

“There are two o’ those damn Hawkeyes, and it’s ‘bout damn time ya get rid of that Weapon X name.”

Laura hasn’t agreed to anything like that yet. She’s very much still finding her way.

Powers

X-23 possesses the same powerset as her father, Logan. These include the following:

Healing Factor: Laura’s primary mutant power is an accelerated healing factor. She can regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue with enhanced speed and efficiency when compared to a normal human. She notably heals faster than her father, and has shown the capacity to regrow an entire arm if need be. This power presumably gives her increased longevity of life like her father. It also makes her effectively immune to poisons and drugs unless administered an immense dose, and Earthly diseases and infections do not have any effect on her.

Superhumanly Acute Senses: Laura’s five main senses are intensely, and sometimes overwhelmingly acute. She can see nanites with her naked eye, and maintains this level of sight even in total darkness. She can not only hear sounds ordinary humans can’t, but can also hear them at much greater distances. Her sense of smell is second to none, and X-23 is an incredible tracker combining her senses together.

Also, she doesn’t like spice. Too much, too fast.

Superhuman Agility: Laura’s balance, coordination, and overall agility are far above that of a normal human, even the finest athlete. With even a moderate amount of focus, Laura will never fall. Her reflexes follow this trend; she has shown the capacity to slice a bullet fired at her face from point-blank range in half with her claws.

Superhuman Durability: Laura has traded blows with the Hulk without sustaining heavy damage, and has even survived multiple energy blasts from Nimrod — although she needed to spend time healing afterward.

Superhuman Strength & Stamina: Laura’s strength and stamina are enhanced as well. Fatigue doesn’t hit her even after 24 hours of peak exertion.

The Claws: Just like her father, Laura has two retractable bone claws in each hand, and one in each foot. They are coated in adamantium, making them sharp and capable of cutting through almost any material.

Story Arcs

Find Your One Way — Laura needs to find peace with her past, present, and future. With time, she will hopefully find her inner peace and become the All-New Wolverine. Basically, this energy.

The Sisters - I’m interested in potentially running a similar arc to the Sisters from the All-New Wolverine comic run, especially Gabby who to the surprise of no one is my favorite.

Marvel: Judgment Day

I think I'm done with my first sheet! I'm not 100% sure on the story arcs bit, but I think I did it alright? Let me know if I need to make any adjustments or anything.

Location: The Halls of the Academy → The First Year Nightshade Common Room}

---

The door shut behind Charlie and Niko, and Teddy ran a hand through his hair, taking a moment to regain his composure before turning to Hyoon. “The bit about him wanting to snog me was quite helpful, thanks for that.” Teddy shook his head, disappointed but not all that surprised. Besides, he’d wanted this, right? He shifted his gaze to the pile of wet clothes, mocking him from the floor, and muttered, “He’s going to bring the magic junkie here, isn’t he. Of course he is.”

He put on a smile, obviously forced, and took a seat on the edge of what was now his bed, facing one of the few people he called a friend. “I’m assuming your day has been infinitely better than mine?”

“Well, you know what they say. You get what you deserve.” Hyoon cooly replied as Teddy complained about her mentioning Charlie’s feelings. She didn’t quite hear what he said - she thought she heard the term ‘junkie’ thrown around, but Hyoon hardly cared. As much as she treated the entire Academy like her personal manor, the fifth year dormitory and whoever got dragged into it was hardly her problem. “Are you seriously sitting on the bed while you’re still dripping wet?”

“I don’t see you holding a wand.”

She shook her head before she pressed on to discuss her day so far. “Well, you know me. I can’t complain. For some reason, they still let me stay here…” She trailed off a bit, shaking her head. She knew there was an idea with the staff that she ‘kept the vampires in line.’ If only they knew the truth. “I like when there are people here, when the Academy is empty it’s too… quiet. The only benefit is Lightwood lets me watch my shows in the big hall.”

Teddy smirked. “You are the strangest millennial I’ve ever met,” he said. There were precious few people in the world that Teddy liked, and even fewer that he respected. Hyoon had managed to claim a place on both lists. He had spent much of his time at Hawthorne ingratiating himself to her, earning her trust. Of course, his grandmother had asked him to do all of that, but he liked to think he’d had some choice in the matter. Hyoon was the leader the vampires needed. He just needed her to want it a bit more.

“They let you stay here because they’re afraid of you. I’m sure they don’t want to deal with the fallout of an eviction notice.”

“Please, who would be afraid of me?” She rolled her eyes then gestured with a single hooked finger as she turned to head out the doorway.
“Come.” She said in a voice that was in-line more with a command than a suggestion. Expecting Teddy to follow, she left the room without looking over her shoulder as she continued to speak. “I”m bored, Teddy. There haven’t been any interesting new students in years - no offense, but I count your year. You’re fine, and the Valentine brats aren’t too bad, but… someone truly interesting. I remember when Lucius was a student here… did you know even back then he was complaining about wanting to upgrade the place? Now, granted, then all he wanted was a television in the common room, but nobody ever really signed the poor guy’s petitions. Bastard.”

She rolled her eyes and looked over her shoulder at Teddy, her dark eyes a little harder than they normally were. “My point is, I think I want to babysit the first years. Maybe a first year to start. Singular. Thoughts? I’m hoping there’s something out there that’s new…”

Teddy blinked. Hyoon was meant to be a great liberator, the vampire who freed them from the Academy’s chains. He thought that he could get her there, Adventure Time be damned, but here she was, more concerned with adopting a first year than with seizing any type of power. “Are you asking me if I think it would be enjoyable to spend my free time babysitting? Because I would hope my answer would be obvious.”

“Oh, you seem to still believe in the illusion of choice.” Hyoon sounded almost disappointed when she said that. She sighed and rolled her eyes. She didn’t understand why her peer was so opposed to the idea of adopting a first year. “I’ll do it myself if you don’t want to participate, but I surely can’t think of anything better to do with my time. There’s nothing else they can teach me here, you know that, I know that, and so do the professors. I’m just a fixture here. Like one of those damn gargoyles.”

She paused.

“I hate those things. They’re so tacky.”

Teddy rolled his eyes. “I think there are plenty of things better than building influence with the least influential, but perhaps that’s just me.” The young vampire had quite obviously not cooled off from his conversation with Charlie. “You’re ancient and powerful, and if you are truly nothing more than a fixture, it’s only because you allow yourself to be.”

“Yes, yes, Teddy. I’m just so lazy and decrepit that I’ve allowed myself to become a fixture. Haven’t we had this conversation several times?” She retorted. “I am not Charlie Valentine, and I don’t think you should get snippy with me because of a spat with him.” Her voice was something of a hiss as they walked together through the halls of the Academy. “Do you not see the value in teaching first years how to behave?”

Teddy sighed. “I guess you have a point. Just, you know, make sure they’re useful. I don’t have it in me to deal with an idiot all year.” She was right, at least about the Charlie of it all. In truth, he wasn’t sure how to feel about bringing up a potential replacement, but like Hyoon had said, he had little choice in the matter. Hyoon would do what Hyoon would do, and he would do his best to make sure he benefitted from it. It’s what he had always done. “Is it too presumptuous to think you already have someone in mind?”

“I won’t say I’ve picked one already, but I did watch them from the corner during the speech. There are a few interesting ones, but I was thinking we’d just stand near the first year dorms until one of them is brave enough to approach us.” She explained her plan as if it were the most perfect plan in the world - and to her, it was. It was basically an active litmus test. Any first year who was too scared to approach them would hardly be worth her time, but… “If they’re brave enough to walk over to us while we’re standing there menacingly, then maybe they’d be a good option for adoption.”

Teddy made a small, soft noise of displeasure and glanced up at one of the many clocks that adorned the walls. “I’ve got to meet Roxanne in thirty minutes, but I suppose there’s no harm in seeing how this plays out.” Teddy followed her, moving stiffly in his wet clothes. “I wish we had a wizard I could trust to dry me here. These wet rags won’t inspire anything other than laughter.”

“With any luck, I’ll find you one right now. Hopefully soon, before you smell like wet dog.”

Hyoon wasn’t sure why Lightwood insisted she show up for the welcome back speeches. She’d been listening to them since before he was born, and as much of a smooth talker as he was, he still blended together with the past headmasters. She had to wonder if there was a script she didn’t know about that they all followed or what, but they all hit the same buzzwords. Something something, safest place on the planet, something something, don’t go into the forest. Hyoon had been in the forest plenty of times, and nothing had happened to her. She’d practically begged him to just let her ghost off into the hallways of the Academy so she didn’t have to bother with listening to his rousing speech, but her requests had been denied. Something about ‘a legacy student provides comfort to the first years.’

Did Lightwood forget she was a ‘dirty bloodsucker?’ She wasn’t going to be comforting anyone, let alone a fucking first year. She was, however, still a student and behest to the requests of the headmaster. As much as she wanted to be in the rain listening to whatever mix of mood music Spotify gave her, she found herself sitting among the students and bouncing her head side to side to music playing in her head. It wasn’t like she was going to pay attention to the speech Lightwood was giving. Same shit, different day.

If she were a lesser person, she might have thrown mocking quips under her breath for nearby students to hear, but Lucius Lightwood had long since earned Hyoon’s respect. Ever since the wi-fi installation, Hyoon had been Lightwood’s man for life as it were. The ability to watch and re-watch Adventure Time whenever she wanted? It was a practically godsent gift. It helped break up the monotony of day-to-day life at the Academy.

That thought made her blow air out of her nose. Monotony? She lived in one of the most interesting places on the planet and she still found herself so damned bored that only shitty cartoons could bring her joy. Immortality, despite what some foolish types might say, was a curse. Doing the same thing day in and day out for a seemingly endless amount of time was enough to drive anyone nuts.

When it was finally, mercifully over, and they were dismissed, Hyoon made a point of being the last to leave. She made the briefest eye contact with the glorious leader to express her disappointment, then stood up and finally headed to the dormitory. At least there she’d be able to see what friends she had around here, at least until they inevitably left and were replaced by the new batch. There weren’t even any new vampire students this year that she knew of, so what was she to do? Befriend wizards?

Almost as soon as she arrived at the Nightshade Commons, her sensitive ears twitched. It would have been a boldfaced lie to say that hearing the sounds of Teddy Douglas and the Valentine twins didn’t bring a smile to her face. What was important was that neither of the twins ever realized that. By the time she arrived in the fifth year common room, she’d managed to get herself under control.

That semblance of control was almost immediately lost as she realized what happened. “Teddy, what are you doing? You’re going to track mud on my carpet.” She tutted, leaving the equally wet and equally likely to track mud on her carpet Valentine brother completely unharassed. Teddy should have known better, Hyoon had learned to expect this kind of behavior from the brats.

Then, it fully dawned on her what he was holding. “Do you have no shame?! Put your underwear away, there are first years running about.” A fact she hated.

“And Charlie only does this because he likes you, honey. I wouldn’t take it too personally.” She added, shooting the troublemaking Valentine brother a look. Hyoon wished the two of them would get over it and kiss already, but she knew better than to say that in front of everyone. Being a thousand years old had taught her that sometimes, to get your way, you simply have to exercise endless patience. “In the future, have enough sense to at least wait until it’s bloody dry outside. Do you realize how annoying it is to get the attention of the help around here? I’ve offered to hire my own, but Lightwood always rambles about not needing charity.” She made a face.

With a roll of her eyes, she decided to drop the complaining about the mud and the rainwater. She knew all too well that everything she said was falling on deaf ears — in fact, she was likely encouraging Charlie to act out more for attention. “To think I was happy to hear your voices too. You never fail to immediately disappoint.” One last jab about it, now she was done.

“Is Himani here yet? She’s meant to be bringing me a coffee.” Hyoon could have gotten the coffee herself, but… ugh, effort.

“Wait, are we down a Valentine brother? I only count two stooges, there should be three."

s k í l l s & w є α k n є s s є s ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ STRENGTHS 𝕷𝖊𝖆𝖉𝖊𝖗 - Hyoon has spent almost her whole life being told she should lead, and she’s done everything she can to fit the mold. She knows what a good leader does, and when the time calls for it, she steps up to the plate. 𝕱𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖈𝖊𝖑𝖞 𝕷𝖔𝖞𝖆𝖑 - With her upbringing, Hyoon finds herself loyal to the Academies. Though she has a barely buried belief that she should be running the show, Hyoon believes in the Academies and what they do. She suspects its part of why they’ve let her stay so long. 𝕽𝖎𝖈𝖍 - It isn’t much use to her within the walls of the Academy, but in the world at large, Hyoon is an incredibly rich and influential figure. She didn’t spend the past millennia doing nothing. WEAKNESSES 𝕷𝖆𝖟𝖞 - Hyoon is demotivated and bored. It takes days, even weeks sometimes for her to draw upon the needed energy to do… anything. From working on Academy assignments, to her own relationships, Hyoon often seems like she doesn’t care. 𝕿𝖔𝖝𝖎𝖈 - Hyoon can unfortunately be summed up in the word ‘toxic.’ She’s almost unknowingly manipulative, and gets upset when she doesn’t get her way… she’s working on it for that special someone, but she knows perfectly well that it’s a work in progress. 𝕿𝖍𝖎𝖗𝖘𝖙 - Hyoon has tasted the blood of humans before on her travels and in less savory environments. She can’t deny its addicting sweetness, though she’s recently found a better fix that isn’t quite as illegal. OUTLOOK / IDEALS / PERSPECTIVE ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ With a life as long as hers, Hyoon’s outlook on life has changed fairly frequently. Simply put, she’s bored after walking the earth as long as she has. When she was younger, there was a burning hatred for werewolves in her chest. She was taught to feel that way by the man that turned her, and it wasn’t until much later that she realized the truth: it doesn’t matter. An eternal war between species? What was the point? She was eternal, a werewolf would only last a blink of the eye. Even so, Hyoon still tends to look at werewolves as dogs in need of a firmer hand. They would serve her well as pets, but she suspects they wouldn’t like that idea. On the other hand, when it comes to witches, warlocks, wizards, and whatnot, Hyoon has something of a softspot for them. Having been raised by a witch makes it easy for her to have a bias. They may be weaker than her, less intelligent, and they may not live forever, but in her experience, most spellslingers have had the right intention. When it comes to actual mortals, the powerless humans, Hyoon looks at them almost as toys. They aren’t a threat, especially in modern times. She is no stranger to the sweet taste of their blood, either. AMBITIONS ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ➽➽➽ Hyoon wants to run the show at the Academies. She used to believe it was her birthright, but now she's not sure it's earned as easily as that. FEARS ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ➽➽➽ She's afraid she'll never find her true path. в í σ g r α p h ч ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ Fifteen hundred years ago, a vampire ruled over a village on the eventual Korean peninsula. His presence kept them safe from marauding supernaturals, but it came at a price: the vampire missed the taste of fresh, human blood. In return for sacrifices, he protected them from the influence and danger of other supernatural beings and mortals alike. After over a decade of being under his protection, the vampire decided he wanted to move away from the area — he had no choice; the Academy had sent hunters after him for breaking the sacred rules. It was a frustrating moment for him. He thought he’d found a good balance, a way around the rules. Willing sacrifices would surely be allowed, or so he had convinced himself. When he heard of their ploy to send hunters after him, he knew he had to leave. There was a sense of attachment to the village, and he had to hope they would be safe without his protection. Convinced he was a deity-esque figure, the villagers gave him one last sacrifice, a deluded effort to ensure his protection was permanent. The sacrifice was the most precious thing the village had to offer: its youngest child. Greedily, he took the child as a final offering, but when he retreated to his mountain hideaway, he found himself fascinated by her for one simple reason. She didn’t seem afraid of him. There were no tears, and no screams echoing off the stone walls of his cavern. To him, she seemed courageous — especially for a child. He didn’t kill her that night. Nor the next night, when he took her with him on his run through the jungle, so to speak. It wasn’t until the fifth day that he realized what he wanted to do. A child who was as brave as her deserved more than to be merely a mortal. He’d already broken Academy rules, what was another? On the fifth night, he turned her. On the sixth day, he named her Hee-yoon, a name meaning ‘wise and beautiful.’ From then on, he resolved to raise the girl as his own. On the eighth day, he stopped running from the Academy’s hunters and surrendered. On trial, he was nearly punished by death to him and Heeyoon, but in the end a deal was struck. He would fight for the Academy and keep rogue vampires in line and in return, they would let him raise his daughter in relative peacefulness. He was assigned a handler, a female witch Academy official who would make sure he behaved, as well as instill the ‘proper’ values in the young, freshly turned vampire. Under their combined tutelage, the young vampire grew into an intelligent and cunning young woman. While her ‘mother’ tried to teach her to use her abilities to protect mortals and people who are weaker, her father explained her position in this world ass one of rulership over the ‘lessers;’ by the time she was sent to the Academy it was only natural that she acted the way she did — like she was better than everyone. There, she initially served the mandatory six years before working out an ‘independent’ study of sorts with the professors. With that out of the way, Hyoon spent the next millennia exploring the world and finding her place in it. During her travels, she did what any self-respecting immortal would, and amassed a large fortune before ultimately realizing that nothing she did mattered and the world would endlessly continue spinning with or without her. This was a big realization for her, and a landmark moment in her life. Eventually, Hyoon returned to Hawthorne Academy, where she announced her intention to simply make it her home while she figured things out. Since then, over a hundred years ago, Hyoon has been a permanent fixture at the Academy while she continues to try and figure out whether her father’s declaration of her ‘right to rule’ is correct or not. She has time to figure it out, and is certainly in no rush to find the answer. She has all the time in the world.

Nathaniel de Fontaine | Wizard

_______________________________________________ Nathaniel de Fontaine | Heterosexual (he would experiment though) | a53bdb | Wizerd ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ 24 | GENDER | HEIGHT | YEAR ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ☀ Handsome ☀ Muscular ☀ Talented Lover ☀ Good Kisser ☀ Deep Voiced ☀ Pretty Eyes ☀ Nice Smile ☀ Cuddly ☀ Smells Good ☀ ☁ Shallow ☁ Eternally Down Bad ☁ Does It All for the Nookie ☁ Slightly Stoopid ☁ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ LIKES the way women smell - the way women taste - hickeys - playing with hair - the build up - the anticipation - aftercare - running marathons - bareback riding - romance - candles DISLIKES people who don’t smell good - uggos - academic work - feral cats - vanilla (too boring) - small beds

s k í l l s & w є α k n є s s є s ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ STRENGTHS Is being pretty a strength? Nathaniel isn’t sure if it’s a ‘traditional’ one, but he certainly counts it as such. Being pretty has gotten him out of plenty of binds before, including at least one failing grade. Sure, he had to make out with a less than attractive professor, but whatever it takes. It’s a strength if it’s gotten him out of a sticky situation. Nate may not be the best mage in the game, but he’s certainly still got that de Fontaine blood in him. Elementalist magic comes to him naturally, but the real magic he’s spent time working on is charms. In his opinion, Charming magic is the most romantic of all, and that’s what he’s most interested in. It has its uses in some of Nathan’s favorite activities. His most secretive strength is being able to admit when he’s out of his element. Nathaniel de Fontaine is not the kind of person to try and do something he has no idea how to do. Deferring to the experts is the easy way out, and that’s what he prefers. Plus, he can afford it. WEAKNESSES He’s shallow. Incredibly shallow, even. Nathaniel isn’t sure that people who aren’t exceptionally pretty are even worth talking to, and he struggles to hide his disappointment when one of them approaches him. The way he treats them sometimes makes him come off like something of a bully, but luckily for him… there aren’t a lot of unattractive people at the academy. Nathaniel can also be blunt to his own detriment. He doesn’t mince his words and definitely doesn’t hide his opinions. He’s one of the people who claims to be ‘brutally honest,’ but really sometimes he just comes off as a dick. Gets away with it because of those boyish good looks. He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. In fact, he probably ranks among the dullest. He doesn’t do well in academics, he barely scrapes by in magics, and he frankly doesn’t care about either of those things. He’s rich and he’s pretty, so it doesn’t really matter if he’s talented or intelligent. He’s gonna get laid anyway. OUTLOOK / IDEALS / PERSPECTIVE ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Nathaniel’s thoughts on other people frankly begin and end with how attractive they are or aren’t. He doesn’t care if someone is a werewolf, a vampire, a siren, or even just a wormy little human. If someone is pretty or feminine enough, Nathaniel is probably going to try and likely succeed to kiss them. Nothing’s stopped him before, not the sanctity of marriage, and certainly not an ancient race war. AMBITIONS ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ➽➽➽ Threesome with a vampire and a werewolf at the same time. He has it all planned out in his head already, thought about it for hours. FEARS ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ➽➽➽ Growing old and not being hot anymore, which frankly sounds terrible. в í σ g r α p h ч ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ Of the two de Fontaines attending the Academy, Nathaniel is the one who embodies what the staff expects of a member of his esteemed family: a hedonistic degenerate who can’t stand being alone and has a variety of mommy issues, and even a touch of daddy ones. Since the moment he arrived at Hawthorne Academy, Nathaniel has been hooking up with his peers and even some of his professors in hidden nooks and crannies throughout the Academy. Frankly, his parents couldn’t be prouder. Nathaniel knows that his teachers prefer his sister to him, but he frankly isn’t sure why. She’s boring, he’s the fun one. While she’s cooped up in her dorm studying, he’s out trying to have the fourth party of the week, and convincing his peers to try out some new products his family has worked on. Sure, he knows that he causes a few problems for the Academy staff, but at least they’re fun problems. It isn’t like he’s out starting fights like the wolves or the bats sometimes do. Nathaniel has already accomplished many of his goals during his tenure at the Academy (including: have sex with a teacher, hear a siren’s song as he finishes), and he’s hoping to cross the last one off his list this year. If everything goes his way, Nathaniel de Fontaine is certain that his plan to have a werewolf and a vampire in his bed at the sametime is sure to solve the problem of the millennia long race war. Or, at the very least, he’ll have a great story to tell at dinner when he and his sister go home for the holidays. Or he might die, but hey that’s a risk he’s willing to take, and it’s a risk he’s already taken more than once. Nathaniel de Fontaine is not the kind of person who’s going to be stopped by something as mundane as a risk of bodily harm — his mom can fix him up, so it’s not like his good looks are at risk. His secondary, and least important goal, is to maybe just maybe squeak by with middle of the pack grades, and not drag the bell curve down quite so far. Luckily, Celeste will do his homework for him if he asks nicely. Hopefully.

Orion Graves | Wizard

_______________________________________________ Orion Graves | Heterosexual | 7CF9FF | Wizerd ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ 24 | GENDER | 6’3” | Final ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ☀ Confident ☀ Intelligent ☀ Well-spoken ☀ Self-aware ☀ Electrifying ☀ ☁ Explosive ☁ Demanding ☁ High Strung ☁ Cold ☁ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ LIKES apple juice ♘ writing ♘ working with his hands ♘ sleeping in ♘ stealing a nap in the middle of the day ♘ sugar cookies ♘ honey & vanilla scents ♘ chess DISLIKES the smell of freshly cut grass ♞ orange juice ♞ sour candy ♞ people who smack their lips ♞ high pitched voices

s k í l l s & w є α k n є s s є s ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ STRENGTHS Orion is a natural when it comes to elemental magic, particularly Electric spells. In fact, he’s trained so extensively with the element that his hair is always spiked up with static electricity, and making contact with him always results in a bit of a static discharge. He has an electrifying personality. He’s witty and has a quick tongue, forged in the fires of sibling banter. Orion loves making anyone he’s holding a conversation with feel like they’re the most important person in the world. In his humble opinion? If he’s talking to him, they must be at least the second most important person, behind himself. Years of being told what he’s done wrong has helped Orion become a very self-aware person. It’s easy for him to admit his shortcomings or mistakes, and it’s even easier for him to discuss how to overcome them. He considers this his most valuable trait. He wouldn’t be nearly as successful at anything if he couldn’t admit when he’s wrong. WEAKNESSES Orion is stubborn. He’d rather spend three hours running into a brick wall head first than admit it would be simpler to go around it. It’s difficult for him to admit when he’s wrong, and when it comes down to it, he’s the type of person who would rather make a nickel his way than a dollar someone else’s way. He’s self-aware of this, but often finds himself in a trap of being unable to admit that he’s wrong and there’s a simpler way of doing it. Though he’s mostly capable of keeping a lid on it, he has an explosive temper. Orion does his best to keep appearances up and not let people know when he’s getting angry or close to losing it, but anyone who’s seen him get truly upset knows his tells. A temper tantrum from Orion Graves is loud and sometimes violent. It’s well known that Mr. Graves is somewhat full of himself, but why wouldn’t he be? After years of exceeding the expectations of everyone but one man, it’s only natural that Orion thinks he’s at least a little better than everyone else. It’s a mindset that can be spun positively or negatively, but unfortunately the way Orion looks at it varies from day to day. OUTLOOK / IDEALS / PERSPECTIVE ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ For a long time, Orion believed what he’d been taught by his family: everyone who isn’t a member of a spellslinger family, and especially anyone who wasn’t a member of a longstanding family like the Graves is simply lesser. It’s only been in the last few years that he’s really built an opinion of his own… the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree; Orion and his father arrived at similar conclusions, for different reasons. While his father thinks other races and families are beneath them, Orion couldn’t believe that, not after meeting so many werewolves, vampires, and other spellslingers while at the Academy. No, Orion realized that others are, put simply, stupid. He’s seen vampire and werewolves nearly kill each other in the schoolyard because of family feuds dating back a thousand years, and he’s watched with disgust as other wizards simply laughed at them. He doesn’t understand why the wolves and bats don’t simply move on from things that happened before most of them existed. And, more importantly, he doesn’t understand why his fellow wizards seem to believe its not only acceptable, but right to feel so above their peers that fights are something to be laughed at. It annoys him. And what annoys him even more is that there’s really nothing he can do about it. People will believe what they want to believe. AMBITIONS ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ➽➽➽ Usurping his father as the patriarch of the Graves family and taking the family in a different, hopefully healthier direction FEARS ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ➽➽➽ Failing. в í σ g r α p h ч ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ “I don’t want your best, I want you to be the best.” Spoken by his father, those words constantly ring out in Orion Graves’s mind. From the moment he was born, immense pressure has weighed down on his shoulders. As the eldest child and only son, Orion is the one expected to carry on the family legacy. Despite his best efforts to live up to the lofty expectations his parents have for him, the goalposts have constantly moved. When he began to understand his natural affinity with electric themed magic at a young age, it wasn’t good enough. Why could understand the magic, but not cast spells? Another person may have crumbled under the heavy pressure, but Orion has always been determined to become the diamond his father expects him to be. Every day of his life has been filled with almost nonstop hard work fueled by an unhealthy obsession with becoming better. His father certainly wouldn’t tolerate mistakes, so why would he? Day in and day out he practiced spells, long before he entered the Academies. Orion managed to turn the way his father treated him into a positive; his ability to be studious has been invaluable during his career at the Academy. It isn’t all sunshine and rainbows though. He doesn’t handle failures well, and though he isn’t too quick to anger, his explosive temper is well known to his close friends and siblings. Speaking of his siblings, Orion considers himself the ‘leader’ of the Graves trio, and his sisters would begrudgingly agree. As the oldest, Orion does his part in making sure that his sisters have a good time at the Academy, even if that means sometimes dealing with Delphi’s temper tantrums. At the Academy, Orion frequently works with younger students. He enjoys helping them learn in a way that’s less demanding than how his father taught him. His teachers look at him as a valuable assistant in the classroom, and a student who will always figure out whatever challenge they lay out for him. He does a good job of keeping his darker side to himself, something he works doubly hard on because he knows his father would be immensely disappointed if the cracks he’s been forming over the years began to show in public.

Noah | Werewolf

_______________________________________________ Noah Andrew Gates | Heterosexual | F3B40E | Werewolf ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ 22 | Male | 6' | 4th ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ☀ Outgoing ☀ Trustworthy ☀ Eager-to-Please ☀ Puppylike ☀ Spontaneous ☀ ☁ Energetic ☁ Loud ☁ Brash ☁ Overly Protective ☁ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ LIKES ♝ scooby-doo ♝ cherry pie ♝ vanilla ice cream ♝ playing catch ♝ rolling in the grass ♝ DISLIKES ♜ the rain ♜ being wet ♜ strong smells ♜ cats ♜ overprotective ♜

s k í l l s & w є α k n є s s є s ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ STRENGTHS 𝒟𝑒𝓅𝑒𝓃𝒹𝒶𝒷𝓁𝑒 - Noah prides himself on being trustworthy. At times, he takes it a little too far, but all secrets are safe with him. He would never betray a friend, has never been late to something he said he’d attend, and is a very dependable person. 𝒮𝓉𝓇𝑜𝓃𝑔 𝒩𝑜𝓈𝑒 - Even for a werewolf, Noah has a strong nose. He considers it both a blessing and a curse. Being able to pick up the scent of… everything can be overwhelming at times, but he’s learned to hone in on the ones he needs, and ignore the ones he doesn’t. With his nose, he’s a great tracker. 𝒫𝑒𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒 𝒫𝑒𝓇𝓈𝑜𝓃 - The young werewolf is an inherently social person, and is at his best when interacting with others. Talking, playing games, or just spending time with his people is when he’s at his most comfortable. He also tends to be protective of his friends and loved ones, sometimes erring on the side of ‘over’protective. WEAKNESSES 𝒩𝒶𝒾𝓋𝑒 - At times, Noah’s trusting nature leads him to be a bit naive. He’ll generally trust what anyone says and take their word at face value. He doesn’t really have a reason not to! Sometimes, this leads to him being picked on in ways he doesn’t even realize. 𝒩𝑒𝑒𝒹𝓎 - Noah is needy. He needs almost constant attention, praise, and care from his peers and friends. He very quickly becomes sad if he isn’t given what he craves. 𝒮𝑒𝓃𝓈𝒾𝓉𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 - It’s probably because he’s a werewolf, but he’s very sensitive to loud sounds. Thunderstorms, fireworks, and similar noises scare the fuck out of him and send him straight into a spastic frenzy of fear. Yes, he bites when he’s like this. OUTLOOK / IDEALS / PERSPECTIVE ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Noah’s thoughts on the rest of the world can be summed up quite simply: he thinks anyone can be his friend. All he has to do is be friendly enough. Sure, the creatures of the night (that’s what his mom called vampires) are a bit rude at times and when he talks to them it seems like they might throw up at any time (Noah has to assume it’s the garlic bread he likes to eat), they can still be friends! To him, anyone can be a friend. Spellslingers and humans are easy enough to befriend, though Noah has been warned that humans most likely wouldn’t like it if he happened to turn into a raging dogbeast. He’s too naive and oftentimes too soft to really commit to the longstanding race war between his species and vampires. To his parents, this is a great disappointment. AMBITIONS ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ➽➽➽ To make it through his six years at the Academy and then find a good job as a tracker or something and eat snacks and play catch with his friends for the rest of his life. FEARS ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ➽➽➽ His parents pushing him toward a profession he doesn’t agree or have interest in. в í σ g r α p h ч ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ▿ ▵ ▿ ▵ The Gates family is well known in some circles of the Academies. While once rather unremarkable, the current heads of the family, William and his wife Sadie Gates are two longstanding and successful Seekers. Their job is quite simple: they capture members of the supernatural society who have broken the rules, dead or alive. When they had a son together, they had envisioned a world where they could raise him to join them in their career, and to follow the new family motto of ‘it’s only fun when they run.’ Noah Gates was only eight years old when they both realized he was never going to be what they wanted. They had taken the young werewolf out on a hunt, and when the time came to finish the job, their son wasn’t able to do it. Instead, he elected to take the rabbit they’d hunted together home. Since then, his parents have done almost everything they can to ‘toughen him up,’ and it’s led to him being a competent brawler, a talented hunter, and capable of holding his own in almost all tense situations… but it hasn’t led to him having a killer instinct. Noah is a softboy, much to both his parents' chagrin. Four years later, his parents gave up trying to make him into the killer they wanted and instead had a second child, his younger brother. His younger brother is proving to be everything his parents ever wanted, and Noah has sort of fallen to the background at home, but has been having a great time at the Academy — and isn’t looking forward to his upcoming final year at all. Returning back to the Gates estate is… not appealing.
