[hider=SHSL Magician] [b]Name:[/b] Morgan Oakley [b]Super High School Level Talent:[/b] Magician [b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://dreamself.me/full.php?fg=0&ffg=0&bg=50006363&back=0&hat=0&accen=10352633&face=10373014&hair=10642771&accef=10445871&pose=0&top=10326783&coat=0&acceh=10385621&bottom=0&shoe=101106&bodycolor=17000195&action=change&id=0&]Yeah, Dream selfy, I know...[/url] As a note, M's got a slender chest and decent-sized hips, further contributing to M's androgyny. [b]Personality:[/b] Who is he? Where did she come from? No one knows! Morgan's intentionally cultivated an aura of mystery around herself, down to his biological gender. M uses both male and female pronouns, along with whatever other pronoun can be used, and also considers 'M' a viable alternative. That said, this aura of mystery has led to the impression of a person who is sunny, cheery, and amazingly shallow, an impression M does nothing to correct. M is quite keen to show off rather complex card tricks (with the claim that the school is ill-suited for more impressive shows) or play with her glass eye. M does at least seem to respect others' requests to rein in his tricks, albeit grumpily. [b]Biography (before coming to Orion Academy):[/b] While M's intentionally cultivated an air of mystery, it is possible to trace her origins to a small town in California, working as an assistant to a failing stage magician named 'L'Enchante'. One night, L'Enchante didn't show up for work. Even as a poor magician, the lounge still needed an act to entertain its customers. Thus Morgan 'le Faye' took to the stage at a mere 8 years of age and proved himself to be superior to L'Enchante. Even when L'Enchante returned the next week, it was Morgan the club sent onstage, and M put forth an even better performance than before. Within a year, people were lining up to see Morgan's show, trying to determine how M was able to craft her illusions that weaved among the tables and drew blood from him. One show at the age of 10 cost Morgan an eye through uncertain means (even reviewing pictures and video gives few clues), though M simply began working the glass eye and occasional eyepatch into her act. Nothing seemed able to set M back as M advanced by leaps and bounds and so, naturally, this eventually led to a call from Orion Academy.[/hider] [hider=SHSL Violinist] [b]Name:[/b] Octavia Arterbury [b]Super High School Level Talent:[/b] Violinist [b]Appearance: [/b] [url=http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/246/8/7/free_magic_girl_adoptable_cyop__closed__by_ir0n_angel-d6kni6x.png]Shhh ignore the glowy bits and wings.[/url] [b]Personality:[/b] Octavia has a hard time opening up to people - mostly because she's unable to speak. That slight problem out of the way, she loves being around people and will generally put on performances at request. She has a fondness for the pop charts and a talent to be able to play a song after hearing it once. She has a very bad habit of keeping her violin bow out and using it like a pointer, even though she's admitted (through writing) that such actions are likely to lead to a broken bow someday. She assumes most people like her because of her playing, and she's actually alright with that. After all, as far as she's concerned, this means she'll always have a friend or two as long as she can play, and she derives such joy from her violin she could never think of stopping. [b]Biography (before coming to Orion Academy):[/b] Octavia was born mute, which made her parents terrified. Why was she mute? How would they be able to keep her safe if they couldn't hear her? Despite doctors' best efforts to calm the new parents, they chose instead to switch jobs so they could work at home and watch over her. This admittedly made her early years difficult and resulted in her being under near-constant surveillance. She was only alone when she slept, used the bathroom, or changed clothes. Worst for her was her inability to communicate back clearly. She was still too young to write or draw well, but she was more often than not irritated by the inability to be left alone and she could not get her parents to understand that. In kindergarten, she learned some writing skills though, as far as she was concerned, she was still unable to communicate because she needed to make her parents read her words instead of simply hovering over her shoulder. When her first-grade class first got to play with toy instruments, she fell in love immediately and actually stole a slide whistle to play. It was discovered when she used the slide whistle at home to get her mother's attention to get a glass of water. In that moment, a breakthrough was made. The toy was returned to the school, and her parents ended up letting her pick an instrument of her own to have, with promises of a tutor so she could learn to play it well. She ended up selecting the violin, deeming it as the most pleasing to her ears, and began her musical career without any idea as to the true level of her ability. Once her tutor taught her the basics, Octavia managed to advance even ahead of him in a matter of weeks. By the age of 13, she was playing in concert halls: classical arrangements, modern hits, and everything in between. It was only natural she eventually got the attention of Orion Academy. After much waffling - she loved the attention she already got after all - she decided to attend.[/hider] [hider=SHSL Ballet Dancer] [b]Name:[/b] Karyl delle Campane [b]Super High School Level Talent:[/b] Ballet Dancing [b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/348/7/9/karyl_by_leviathandemon-d6xz3lt.png]From one of the productions she participated in.[/url] Her hair is black, her eyes green, and her skin dark in color. [b]Personality:[/b] Karyl is very much concerned with staying on top of things. Her training, her weight, other people - if she can keep it in control, she will, and she'll do it by whatever means she can. She mostly has a very pleasant demeanor, choosing to use diplomacy to solve most problems, but she's also decent at reading people and manipulating them to get her way. She can a bit of a micromanager, though only when she believes she can make the situation work to her advantage. If not, she generally won't expend the energy. She can provide warmth if it can get people to act how she wants, but more often than not, she is aloof and distant even in casual conversation, acting fairly haughty. She enjoys music and supposedly grew up on classical albums. [b]Biography (before coming to Orion Academy):[/b] Her parents enrolled her into ballet classes at the age of 4, hoping that an early start would lead to the development of amazing talent. They weren't entirely wrong; Karyl proved to be a very quick learner, with enough grace and flexibility to perform what were considered 'advanced' moves. However, with this talent came the fact that the academy proved to be, in Karyl's eyes, second-rate. After all, the teachers rarely started classes on time and seemed uninterested in teaching anything but the basics - even her advanced moves weren't all that tricky, frankly. She knew she could do better, but not stuck in that environment. Staying would mean boredom and disinterest. After a few years, she began taking matters into her own hands regarding her education and rapidly outclassed the higher-level students and could compete with the teachers, none of whom enjoyed this new facet of their star pupil. When her parents realized the development of her growth thanks to a call home with an explanation for why she wasn't allowed back, they took her to learn elsewhere. In the end, they ended up hiring a member of a ballet company to teach her further. By 12, she was participating in a professional ballet company and had performed in a production of [i]La Bayadère[/i]. She didn't find it unusual when Orion Academy contacted her.[/hider]
