[OOC] Blakley's Institute For The Supernatural

[Airalin]

Still have room?

[SanaChan]

Indeed we do :)

[MissingOne]

@SanaChan Fixed it.

[Spinosaurus]

Can I save a spot?

[SanaChan]

@MissingOne That works

@Spinosaurus Yup :)

[shagranoz]

Any room for a witch?

[SanaChan]

Name: Nuka Totsuya
Gender: Female
Species: Vampire
Subject taught: English
History: Nuka is not a teacher by choice. She's a teacher because, as she says, Amelia pulled a China on her. Nuka owed a lot of people money and had killed a few too many people in too small an area and had hunters and debt collector's alike coming for her. Amelia managed to deal with both groups "on her behalf," thus making the foul mouthed, usually inebriated, stubborn vampire indebted to her for a long time- too long a time for Nuka to care for specifics. Her repayment method was simple: she would come to the institute, stay sober (the hardest part), to test out Amelia's substitute for her kind of people, and to teach.
While the substitute was hard to stomach for awhile, it was at least an easier hurtle to jump than teaching. As far as Nuka was concerned, even with their parents paying for their safety at this "haven," the students had zero interest in actually being in class, they were there to associate with other "freaks of nature" without having the fear of pitchforks and crossbows being aimed at their backsides. However, there was one subject Amelia noted that Nuka had some specialty at after digging in to the world of the woman before she became a monster and assumed a name- digging which irritated Nuka to no end. Amelia realized that in her human days Nuka had been studying to become an English teacher, or at least tutor since it was in a time when women still weren't exactly empowered in any sense of the word.
Of course now all the teaching of tact has gone out the window and bad grammar is likely to get a long insult written in glorious red pen, or whatever color pen she happens to find first in her aggravation at modern day lingo.
Any clubs you would be interested in assisting in: "You're joking right?"
Any requests: -ignored by Amelia anyways-

Name: Nero Zaheer
Gender: Male
Species: Gypsy- basically a shorter, less long lived elf
Subject taught: Science and art (because the two aren't mutually exclusive in his opinion)
History: Nero has spent his life wandering, going from place to place, just learning what he can, and trying to create different poultices for everyday needs and sometimes more advanced things. He is Erynhil's (the counselor) older brother and made his way to the campus at his brother's insistence. He doesn't planning on permanently settling into the school's environment, but he figures that it will make it entertaining at the very least for a little while. He also wants to make sure the school is a conducive environment for his brother, who- even though he's a counselor to help others with their emotions- can be a bit emotional himself. He and Amelia have a respect for each other since both have spent a majority of their adult lives helping others as best they can, often sacrificing their own liberties in the process.
The gypsy's are big on their body art, hence why their sister Amera is covered from neck to ankle in tattoos, though she insists they are memories she never wants to lose. Regardless, each of the gypsies has some skill in the arts and in Nero's opinion science itself is an art. After all how is mixing ingredients different than mixing inks and paints? He's hoping his ideas and his view point can enlighten students to the beauty that is science.
Any clubs you would be interested in assisting in: Any art club or an astronomy club should students be interested

I will play Amelia, Katerina, Elyana, and Erynhil off and on as they are needed throughout, but these two are the main two everyone will see.

[SanaChan]

@shagranoz Sure, come on in!

[ArenaSnow]

We seem to be moving along... I shall make a final decision soon then.

[SanaChan]

I'll wait just a bit more for those who reserved spots and those deciding, and then we'll get this on the road :) Don't feel rushed, you can still complete your CSs after we start and pop in

[Spinosaurus]

What are the limits for species?

[thewizardguy]

@SanaChan
Sorry, didn't see your post ^-^

It was actually a typo, which I intend to fix. Should say 17.

[SanaChan]

@Spinosaurus Let's limit to corporeal, tangible things and nothing over the top like deities or half gods. If you're worried, you could PM what you're thinking and I can tell yay or nay.

@thewizardguy That makes much more sense, awesome sauce. *thumbs up*

[shagranoz]

Name: Susan Harris

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Species: Human witch; specializes in summoning. She can also levitate herself.

Subject preference: Supernatural studies, science, math, English.

History: Susan was born to a couple of normal human parents. Her childhood was utterly normal, up until the night of her sixteenth birthday, when she woke up to find herself hovering a couple of feet above her bed. She fell with a thunderous crash, waking up her parents, who didn't believe her when she told them what happened. The next day, a representative made an appearance to tell her she was a witch, and let her know about Blakely. A brief discussion with her parents later, and her future was set.

In need of summer program: No, but has requested it.

Preferred electives: Art

Anything else: No.

@SanaChan

Ivo is gonna be totally freaked out by Nuka all the time. Werewolves and vampires are archenemies after all.

[SanaChan]

She's laughing maniacally in the back of my head at the thought of it, but she's too busy being grouchy to worry about such things lol

@shagranoz Amelia wouldn't personally show up for each of her students, that'd be Santa Claus level house visits, but she would have sent someone else to give an invite if Susan was causing problems with her magic- plus it's not free, Blakley's is expensive and doesn't do scholarships- except for the especially destructive that have no source of income- so her parents would need to be on board with it.

Let me know if there are any problems - and don't worry about the label of "goddess". I can change it if I must, but regardless, I won't make Ephira overly powerful.

Name: Ephira (Human name: Eliza Rockford)



Age: 409,652 (Appears 15)

Gender: Female

Species: Goddess (Appears human)

Subject preference in order from most to least:
Math
Science
History
English
Physical Education

History: A long time ago, there was a wayward goddess who wanted a universe of her own. On her quest to get it, she killed, she conquered, and she carried despair to every planet she touched. After a while, the Divine Council decided she could no longer be allowed to roam unchecked. Unable to kill the immortal, the Council did the next best thing. They had her defeated and imprisoned.

Yet the longer they kept her locked away, the more certain they became of a simple truth - Ephira's powers were fueled by suffering, and that included her own. Eventually, stronger than ever, she shattered the bonds containing her and made her captors kneel before her. It was only after a larger team of gods responded to the pleas for help that she was again defeated. And, this time, her vanquishers would not make the same mistake.

They did not take her freedom, but instead, her memories. By addicting her to a "soda" that suppressed her powers and her knowledge of who she truly was, they convinced her that she was not a deity, but rather a wealthy young lady with the power of mere bodily regeneration. Unwilling to leave her bored in a gilded cage, they decided that she should go to school. Anything to distract her from her own despair. And so she was sent to Blakley's Instutute for the Supernatural - to spend time with others she thought were like her and to never remember who she truly was.

Are you in need of our summer program?: Yes

Preferred elective courses: Creative Writing

Anything extra pertinent to your attendance here?: Becomes agitated - and therefore dangerous - when asked to do mundane things herself.

@Airalin
Here's the thing that I'm seeing that might cause the most issue...

Let's limit to corporeal, tangible things and nothing over the top like deities or half gods.

@SanaChan

[SanaChan]

Ahhhhhh, @Airalin, I'm gonna have to say tweak a little, if possible. As much as I like the character type *coughs as I glance at my character Malice* I don't think it bodes well for a..... school setting. I get that she's.... not the same as a goddess because of the...."soda".... but still. I'm trying to think of how to word it delicately since apparently I didn't last time, that's what the ....'s are. Maybe change her species and scale down her adventure a little? It's just a little... grand in scale.

[Airalin]

Well, after inventing a bland new race of beings, here's my edited CS for Ephira. Let me know if there are any lingering issues.

Name: Ephira (Human name: Eliza Rockford)



Age: 652 (Appears 15)

Gender: Female

Species: Valionite (Appears human)
-Valionites are a race of advanced esper-like beings from an alternate universe that have "magical" abilities that are inherently tied to their emotions and rooted in the subconscious. They are immortal and completely unkillable.

Subject preference in order from most to least:
Math
Science
History
English
Physical Education

History: A long time ago, there was a clever Valonite who wanted a planet of her own. On her quest to get it, and with the help of an army of brainwashed subjects, she killed, she conquered, and she carried despair to every nation she touched. After a while, the High Council decided she could no longer be allowed to roam unchecked. Unable to kill the immortal, the Council did the next best thing. They had her defeated and imprisoned.

Yet the longer they kept her locked away, the more certain they became of a simple truth - Ephira's powers were fueled by suffering, and that included her own. Eventually, stronger than ever, she shattered the bonds containing her and made her captors kneel before her. It was only after a larger team of warriors responded to the pleas for help that she was again defeated. And, this time, her vanquishers would not make the same mistake.

They did not take her freedom, but instead, her memories. By addicting her to a "soda" that suppressed her powers and her knowledge of who she truly was, they wiped her brain of all knowledge of her true race and molded her into a rather a wealthy young human lady with the power of mere bodily regeneration. Unwilling to leave her bored in a gilded cage, they decided that she should go to school. Anything to distract her from her own despair. And so she was sent to Blakley's Instutute for the Supernatural - to spend time with others she thought were like her and to never remember who she truly was.
