Age:16

Grade: First Year Mephisto's Night School

Biography: David had anything but a normal upbringing. His father left his mother before he was even born.  This led to his mom struggling to raise him with only one income and no support. David grew up poor living in Rhea's version of the ghetto.  While most kids grew up listening to crickets and cicadas he was listening to sirens and helicopter blades. It didn't help much when he got his gift and found it was less than useful. He had trouble understanding what his power could do and it wasn't exactly practical to cut open his fingers all the time and smear them on walls. He couldn't see well during the day either and had to wear sunglasses all the time. His impractical gift and blindness lead to him to getting bullied a lot. It didn't help that he had a smart mouth either as that caused a lot of fights to break out as well. David ended getting so frustrated by his gift that he ended up giving up on it. He learned to get by without it and how to compensate for its drawbacks. He became more aggressive and ruthless to win his fights and learned how to fight blind. His attitude got worse as a result. He started to not care if you were young or old, girl or boy, demon or human. If someone wanted to throw down he would give you his all. It was a caution born of necessity because he lived in a world where people could become monsters at any moment. He believed that if you wanted to win you couldn't let them have that moment.

David didn't want him and his mom to spend their whole lives in the ghetto and ended up dropping out of school at 14 to begin looking for work. He took any job he could get that would believe he was 16. Those jobs never lasted long. He was always eventually found out for being underage and got fired as a result. He bounced around jobs for a while until running into a man named Hughes. Hughes was a bit of a shady businessman who worked for a mining company. He was the manager of an iron mine outside the walls located in the mountains. It was dark and dangerous work, but he believed David was perfect for the job. He was even willing to push the paperwork through when his age came into question. David's abilities did prove useful in the mines. He could see in the dark and wasn't impaired by the low light conditions, his blood couldn't get infected and he was resistant to toxic gasses, and when there was ever a cave in he could make a portal and help himself and others escape. It was the first time in his life that his power had a real and practical use. He made so much money from hazard pay that he was able to move out of the Ghetto and even live in a white collar neighborhood. His Mom never liked that David dropped school, but couldn't fault him for or finding success. It was when David was turning 16 that Hughes approached David with an offer. He wanted David to become his partner and was willing to set him up in a position of co-manager. However, he told David he needed him to finish school in order to get the job. Corporate wasn't going to let a high school drop out run there mine no matter how qualified Hughes claimed he was. David was hesitant to the idea because it would mean he couldn't work as much and would lose out on Money. Hughes told him he spoke to a guy named Mephisto who ran a school, and that he would be willing to hook him up with a night school program and fast-track him to a GED. He just had to attend night classes which are shorter than day class, and he could still work in the day. David reluctantly agreed to the idea but wasn't excited to be going back to school. 

Powers: 
Core power: Extra-dimensional blood ink. D'artagnan blood is charged with his power and doesn't look or act like blood, but like a mildly luminescent ink. His body still functions normally but is resistant to mundane disease and infection.  He has also gained low-light vision and can see in star or moonlight as if it is midday. This also comes with the downside of him being sensitive to sunlight. 

This ink, when applied to surfaces, can create portals. The ink is magical and can not be erased by mundane means, often requiring the destruction of the surface it rests on to remove. D'artagnan has a connection to his blood and can sense its presence and shape. If he forgets a portal he can use this to remember and utilize it. These portals can be opened and closed at will, but he can only have 10 open at any one time. That is 5 connected portals or one portal with 9 outputs(see Multiply). The portals are created by drawing shapes on surfaces and can only connect to similar shapes. There is a generous margin for error due to the shapes no having to be perfectly similar and breaks in the lines can be ignored up to a quarter inch and still form a connection.

The blood channeling pen(working title): Commissioned creation from Luigi Vile. This pen was created to give D'artagnan's power more practical application. It is a pen the collects his blood through a point hidden in the clicker, and then deposits it into a reservoir in the top the pen. He can adjust the pen to apply more or less ink depending on the surface he is working with. 

Door: He can draw a portal on a surface and press on it to cause another portal to spawn on the other side of it. The second portal once closed does not leave lines behind.

Multiply: D'artagnan can create a portal with multiple outputs and allow the multiplication of people and things. The output and input portal must remain opened or the duplicate will vanish. These duplicates are not expendable either and all experiences are shared among all copies as there is no original. It is the case that if you defeat one you defeat them all. The experiences are not immediately shared but spread to the others once the copies output portal is terminated. 

Crisis: Allows D'artagnan to teleport to an area where a crisis is occurring, big or small. The only form of transport that does not require a portal, but is not instantaneous. The ability costs blood from his body to use and can weaken him if abused. D'artagnan has a sense for when a crisis is occurring. He will feel his blood start to bubble and can even see this effect in the pen. He can ignore this call to action, but the bubbling won't stop until the crisis is over.

Relationships:

Luigi Vile: He is a distant friend from his school whom he still owes a big favor for the commission of the pen. He would like to be on better terms with the guy, but he gives off a terminator vibe that is hard to ignore.

School: First Year St. Laurels (Age 14)

Bio: Elise grew up much the same as any noble living in the countryside. She was treated like a princess and was waited on hand and foot. Her gift came at the late age of eight. She was blessed by a god of darkness and emotion and as part of that blessing had a part of her soul torn from their body and infused into their shadow. Thus, granting it life and purpose. This was not the most pleasant day of her life, but she was happy to have finally been blessed with her gift. The resulting shadow being created by the god was, terrifying, to say the least. However, Elise could feel her connection to the shadow and thus named him Sho, because shadow would have been totally lame. The other side effect of the change was Elise noticed her emotions didn't feel like her own all the time. She quickly realized that she could now passively feel whatever a person near her could and even manipulate those feelings. Though being young she really didn't understand how to leverage this ability. She knew she liked positive feelings and thus would always try to make everyone around her feel happy, unfortunately, this led to her being tired a lot as the staff was often unhappy. She ended up asking how she could make people happier without her power and a staff member casually suggested she be nicer and maybe act cute. Elise took this to heart and thus sought to be kinder and act and dress in a manner deemed adorable. This proved to be a huge boon as she felt the positive vibes around her improve and didn't have to use her power nearly as much to keep the mood going. As this was going on Sho did their own things to help Elise. Sho was always near Elise but tended to wander off hiding in the shadows of objects and people to spy on them. Sho knew Elise only wanted to be happy and in truth, because of their connection, her happiness was their happiness. However, not all positive feelings were necessarily good. Sho did not know much but knew when someone did not have the best intentions for their charge. They would listen to what people say about Elise when they think they are alone and it was sometimes not pleasant or flattering. Sho would punish these people by filling them with feelings of regret and fear whenever they talked poorly of Elise and then inform her of these transgressions. Elise would always listen to Sho but would take his warnings as a sign that she needed to do better. If people thought poorly of her then she needed to improve that image. Sho felt differently, but respected Elise's wish. However, Elise never scolded of forbade Sho for acting on her behalf. This subtle trust told Sho all they needed to continue protecting her in its way. This went on for the next four years with Elise perfecting her persona as the perfect, smart, and adorable girl while Sho kept tabs on everyone and dissuaded anyone who'd dare to hurt them. There had only been a few notable events in that time. The most notable being an employee blowing up from stress. On that day Elise and Sho discovered their third power and an emotionless Doppelganger joined the staff in place of the other. 

At the age of twelve, Elise wanted to leave the countryside and finally see the city she had heard so much about. Despite the overwhelming insistence that this was a bad idea and lies about how the people weren't ready for her. Elise used her kindness, and Sho some blackmail, to convince a servant to help them. With a servant who actually knew the way and a shadow servant to assist they made their way to the city. This day didn't go well. The city people had been terrifying. They had all this resentment and bitterness about them. There were some positive feeling, but she wasn't sure those feeling were something a girl should feel from a middle-aged man. Sho scared him away luckily, but that sadly wasn't where it ended. She tried to introduce herself proudly as a noble and present her heritage to several, but they would laugh at her and even get mad if she insisted. She ended up just asking a girl about the nobility while not admitting she was. Nobles must have been a trigger because the girl ended up having quite the long rant about nobles and a lot of it centered around comparing them to bottom feeding fish and fecal matter. The girl thanked Elise for hearing out her rant and ended going shopping with her. This lead to her owning a sweater and finding out it was the best thing ever in the history of everything. It was so comfortable. Elise came back a  changed girl, and still wearing the sweater. Her eyes had been opened to all the things she was missing out on that day and she needed, no demanded to learn more. 

The next two year Elise used all the influence her and Sho could muster to modernize the manor as much as possible. She asked explicitly for textbooks on modern technology and science. The books made her brain itch, but she needed to know what the world was. Her personal tutors were a big help, except the family history teacher whom she started blowing off. The manor had all the modern tech and magical amenities and the overall response to the change was positive. At least the servants appreciated the quality of life improvements. Her parents and the other nobles didn't seem to happy with the break from tradition. Well, they could shove tradition to the bottom of the see with the other scum suckers. The tradition wasn't working. The people thought the nobility was either a joke or just plain hated them. Finally, Elise's determination came to a head. She had made amazing progress at home, but her reputation and that of the Nobility wasn't going to improve if she spent all her time in the countryside. So, she applied for St. Laurels and thanks to her and Sho's combined study managed to get in despite their age. She hoped by being in and among the people that she could one day prove to them how amazing the nobility could be and defeat the bias leveled against them. 

Powers
Core: My Shadow and My Empathy. Elise's shadow or Sho is a living being connected to Elise. They can both feel what the other is feeling at all times and both share the same power. When either of them is near a person they can feel what that person is feeling and manipulate those feelings. Both of them seem to become passively stronger in the presence of different emotions. Elise getting stronger when in the presence of positive emotions and Sho getting stronger in the presence of negative emotions. This passive buff causes a large area around them to become dimmer and any shadows or darkness to become blacker. This makes manipulating darkness easier for them.

First Power: Friends in the Shadows. The darkness will answer the Call of Elise and Sho and when infused with their power will become corporeal and can be moved, stretched and shaped to their will. 

Second Power: Veil of Darkness. Elise and more so Sho. Can fuse with darkness and become incorporeal. Sho can do this at any time because they are darkness. While incorporeal their bodies can be manipulated and they can use this to become shadows and move at normally imperceptible speeds allowing them to near perfectly impersonate a shadow. 

Third Power. Shadow Soul. If a target is overwhelmed by emotions whether they be overwhelmingly negative or positive. Elise and Sho can infuse those feeling into the target's shadow and then take it from them. The person would feel as if all there emotions were suddenly switched off and there detached shadow would rise from the ground and become a perfect copy of that person, but with a few caveats. The Doppelganger would only have half as much power as the original, it would not have a shadow, and the darkness around them would also become blacker. The first hour of the Doppelganger's life it will be overcome with the emotions that created it. During this hour the target would be without feelings or a shadow. At the end of the hour, or when the doppelganger is destroyed, the target would have their shadow and emotions returned albeit the feelings that formed the shadow would feel spent. At this point, the shadow would become docile and be under the complete control of Elise and Sho.
