Chances are that you have not filled out an application, which is fairly common among accepted students. Holt's Academy has a long-standing tradition of finding the people it wants to attend, and it has a [b]very[/b] selective process of determining exactly who is offered an invitation to attend. Your remarkable gifts have drawn the Academy's notice, and we think that you would be a wonderful addition to our student body this year. Now, you may be wary of attending an academy that you have never heard of nor applied to, but let us put you at ease. Our academy offers an education of the highest quality, which will pave the way to your future, whatever that may be. Due to projects the Academy partakes in, as well as funding from private and public sources, tuition is entirely free. The primary reason for this is, of course, to remove the obstacle that separates individuals of dire financial circumstances from the opportunities that they rightfully deserve a shot at. The Academy also offers the highest in quality of life, holding the record for the safest educational facility in the nation for the past five years, the highest-quality healthcare worldwide, and a five-star dining staff that works around the clock to ensure that each and every student is kept fed with a well-balanced diet. In addition, the Academy also offers clubs and sports for the students to get involved in as they see fit. These clubs and sports feature everything from Engineering Club to Martial Arts Club and Tennis to Bowling to ensure that the students have a way to connect with one another and keep themselves busy. In fact, if it isn't offered on the campus, the Academy will pay to send the student to a location in the city that does provide that activity. We look forward to seeing you at the beginning of our next term, The Headmaster of the Academy, Joseph A. Tynedale[/i] [center]For whatever reason, you are sitting in a vehicle on your way to the Academy, remembering the elegant handwriting that had covered the page. If you had said no, it seemed that they were quite persistent, sending you several more letters that found themselves in the trash until eventually, the police had found you and requested that you go with them. From there, it was on your way to the Academy. Had you accepted, you would have found them much more genial about the situation, replying to your acceptance with great enthusiasm. Regardless, it seemed that this Academy had some greater purpose than simply education, and you couldn't help but feel that the wording was designed to let you know that they knew about your abilities. See, for quite a while by then, you had been able to do fantastic things with your mind, like reading others or throwing stuff around or even seeing the future. But you had been careful to keep it under wraps for fear of detection. Now it seemed that that didn't matter anymore, and it was with anxiety that you approached the Academy. What awaits you? What or whom will you find there?[/center] [center][b][u]Characters:[/u][/b] [i][u]Skeleton:[/i][/u] Appearance: Name: Age: Gender: Power: Personality: History: Other: [i][u]Accepted Characters:[/i][/u] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/1306747]Ray Grimm (ShadowRaeper)[/url] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/1306791]Devon Grimm (Toxx)[/url] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/1308732]Rosy (PsychoticBreakDown)[/url] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/1308836]Anzhelika Stepanov (Epiphany)[/url] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/1309587]Arson Lodern (UncannyWanderer)[/url] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/1309761]Elizabeth Carson (TaliPaendrag)[/url] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/1310569]Raven Maitland-Smith (WinterNightSky)[/url] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/1311965]Silas Barrows (Tryant from the West)[/url] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/1316892]Nikolai Luzchezke (HellHoundWoof)[/url][/center] [i]Non-Player Characters (NPC's):[/i] [hider=Teachers] [img]http://www.anime-planet.com/images/characters/principal_ultra_mani_12011.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Joseph A. Tynedale [b]Age:[/b] 53 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Power:[/b] Atmokinesis, or the power to manipulate the weather [b]Personality:[/b] Though he comes across as quite laid-back, Joseph knows when he as to be strict when it comes to dealing with others, especially students. Many students feel comfortable talking to him about a variety of things, however, which helps maintain a healthy environment. Don't let his flippant appearance fool you, however. He is easily able to manipulate people so that he can get what he wants, and he isn't above using his powers to do so. As a matter of fact, he often uses his powers to punish misbehaving students. But one wouldn't expect that from meeting him. [b]History:[/b] Not much is known about Joseph's history except for the fact that he started the school quite suddenly and has gathered a decent number of students with his recruitment methods.

Alberda [b]Age:[/b] 37 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Power:[/b] Botanokinesis, or the ability to manipulate plants [b]Personality:[/b] Amanda is, while kind and warm-hearted, nonsensical and firm. She doesn't appreciate any breaking of the rules at all, and she usually takes care of disciplinary matters for the headmaster. Unlike the headmaster, however, she generally prefers not to use her powers as a method of punishment, though she may use them to prevent someone from wriggling out of their punishment. That's not to say that she is super strict, however. She's actually the person most students go to when they have a problem due to her kind nature and her willingness to understand the situation from the student's point of view. [b]History:[/b] Much like Joseph, not much is known of Amanda's past apart from the fact that she was the first employee hired by Joseph once the school was established. [b]Other:[/b] N/A[/hider]
