Name: Paolo Anticato
Epithet(s): Show stopper
Age: 17
School Year: third
Gender: male
Appearance:
Nationality: Sicilian
Personality: Always about making a scene when not at work, Paolo enjoys putting on a good show for anyone who would watch. He's a bit of a diva, always putting his two cents in everyone's business and getting offended if they say anything poor or even neutral about him. He is very flaky when it comes to his interests, being very interested for a week at a time and then dropping most things, the only reason he's a magician is because he got too invested in it to quit. A natural flirt as well, with... confusing tastes in partners. He's never truly been in a relationship but he's lead many a person on of every gender under the sun, but claims to be straight. Life is a game to Paolo, and he's the only person he's ever met who's not a chess piece to be used and then tossed aside, so don't be offended if he treats you as such.
Bio: Most people as troubled mentally as Paolo have a troubled life, but Paolo was born to Sicilian parents, working closely with the mafia that would keep the governments filthy hands off of him. His family was not high up in ranks in the criminal organization but they were high enough that they were treated well, and the family butchery was freely run with no competition. This brought i enough money for the young Paolo's first dog and it's second and third replacement after they had mysteriously all died. This kind of thing was common around Paolo, but his ability to make the dogs disappear after he took their lives showed promise to a watchful eye working in the recruitment department for his next school.
From dogs it escalated. Paolo brought a young girl home, she was beautiful for a 14 year old and so smart and promising. She was loved by many but Paolo courted her better than the rest with his charm. He had been practicing magic for 7 years now and his hands could do things you wouldn't imagine. A quick flick of the wrist and a gash appeared in her throat as she went to kiss him, the blood flowing into the bouquet of flowers held against her neck as the life drained from her eyes. Her body dropped after a short time, the only sign of blood was inside the cut. Her body was never found, aside from the watchful eye of the recruiter.
This was three days before he was sent away to the school, he quickly loved where he was. He got to do to the pawns of the world what he loved and would eventually even get paid for it! Imagine, picking the rotten fruit from the tree of life for money! He knew he was not to murder anymore, as it was drilled into his head from day one, so he didn't mess with anyone at the school, but the itch in his mind found a new way of escaping. He enjoyed playing with the food he couldn't eat and has successful persuaded most of his grade and the grade above to get close to him, only to leave them hanging when they get too close just to watch them squirm. He's got a good job lined up back home in the mafia as a hit man, but he needs to graduate first.
Weapon: A ring with a spool of cheese wire inside, perfect for a quick laceration or strangulation.
Equipment: Bullet proof suit- Full of pockets
Magic wand- A black hollow stick with white caps on either side, full of chloroform
Razor-edged deck of cards
A dead dove- his callng card, it's not kept on him unless he is being sent out to kill someone, it's hidden under his hat in one of it's many many pockets
Skills: High level magician, naturally charismatic and knows how to butcher most animals, expert level sleight of hand.
Talents: Misdirection- His movements are hard to guess, and can lead attacks that never hit while his real hits come up unexpectedly
Showman's Guise- No matter what is going on, Paolo can maintain his composure, his leg could break or his gut impaled but his face and tone won't show it.
Intuition- Paolo has many pockets filled with many things, yet he always seems to pick the right one, even when it's not his own pocket, and always seems to pull out just the right thing.
Other: He is very manipulative in relationships, easily classified ad as being abusive in all three caregories (Mental, verbal and physical).
His abusive tendencies are known to some, but most don't believe a word of it given how charming he is.

Name: Alexander Forsythe.
Epithet(s): Venom, The Itch.
Age: 16
School Year: Second
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Nationality: Australian
Personality: Alexander is reserved, but not shy. He enjoys being in the company of many others at a time but just doesn't speak his mind all that often, and when he does it's generally nice thing or a compliment, nothing dirty or rude for the most part. He doesn't have the world's standards when it comes to personal space. He's not going to invade someone's space just willy nilly and he's not super touch but if someone is in the way of something or somewhere he won't consider their happiness in getting that thing or reaching that place. He's a very studious boy on top of all of this, however all of his interests seem to be in one subject, entomology and biology in general. He's constantly studying bugs and other poisonous animals, the majority happen to be reptiles and insects/arachnids so they take most of his time. Amphibians are ok too, I guess.
Bio: Alexander Forsythe, son of the Australian conservationist Louis Forsythe and his wife Amelia Forsythe, he was raised in a home on a wildlife reserve. Growing up so close to animals and bugs and birds it was all an exciting experience, albeit a dirty one. He was comfortable walking up to snakes, picking up spiders and bugs and letting them crawl on him and after hundreds of bites and several hospital visits, he has built up a minor tolerance to most toxins produced by the fauna of Australia. He wasn't scouted for the academy or anything until his school science fair where he brought a jar of live wasps into a school auditorium to display how their venom affects people, complete with other insects for comparison. Some even deadly, like the northern funnel web spider, apparently able to kill within 2 minutes of a bite. Yet there he was, alive and with a selection of live, deadly insects.
His love of bugs quickly spread away from just the creepy crawly and got to the scaley sort as well. Snakes were amazing as they were a bit more resilient than bugs and could REACH for a kill. He watched them choke, bit and swallow prey, even other snakes. These guys were the tipping point of whether or not he would be approached by the academy and his parents were persuaded very easily. With an assassin who was a fan of nature like Alexander, all of the ideas his father had could find less resistance in the Australian parliament if whenever someone voted to destroy the environment they'd seem to have mother nature herself take them out. And so they shipped him out to Russia with just a few terrariums, some bugs and a snake.
His first year was uneventful, other than almost flunking every class other than poisons and biology. He also failed to impress at the dummy test, it was hard to poison something that didn't bleed. Nevertheless he made a few friends and a few of them have even had the right to play with his brown snake, Bomb. Bomb was banned from being removed from his enclosure unless given permission from a teacher or other faculty member, and that was fairly rare, not having happened yet. One student gets bit and everyone freaks out.
Weapon: Darts dipped in various venoms and poisons extracted from bugs and snakes, and occasionally frogs but rarely.
Letting a deadly bug or snake into a locked room counts as a weapon I suppose.
Equipment: Jars with perforated lids
Gardening gloves
Vials of various venoms/antivenoms and very rarely poisons/antidotes
Backup weapon- A kinda biggish knife
Vials of various phermones.
Skills: Extensive knowledge of insects, arachnids and reptiles
Whittling, it passes the time
Decent aim, can't hit a target from a mile away but can score pretty well in darts.
Can play the drums and most other percussion instruments
Strangely good at predicting the weather
Okay with a knife, he's not winning any contests with one
Stealth is his second strongest skill, behind the first one listed
Talents: Nope!
Other: While at school he can't exactly have the bugs and snakes he'd like, but when on missions I'm assuming they'd supply him with what he would need.
