I'm really weird and suck at writing out bios, so don't rely on this box for answers. Just message me and ask if there's a problem or whatever.

Daisy isn’t exactly sure what she expected while she followed Miss Victoria and the other student, but it most certainly was not this chaos. Angry protestors pit against all too rash students, and an open display of someone’s ability—she isn’t sure who, but she did briefly note that it was a neat power. Then the headmaster stepped in with his booming voice, and then the vice-headmaster, who didn’t speak nearly as loudly, but seemed to affect the crowds just as much. As quickly as the whole squirmish formed, people began to clear out from around the main gates.

“That was.. kinda neat.” She mumbled allowed and released her tail so that it could swing freely behind her knees. She’d seen protestors plenty of times while growing up, most mutants have, but she’d never seen mutants actually fight back, much less other students her age. Again, the feeling of being not-so-alone in the world washed over the white haired mutant, and a new sort of confidence settled in her stomach. She peered around at the remaining students and staff, stopping her gaze on the professor who’d been the first on site, and then the pair of students beside him. They’d both been a part of the fray in some form only seconds earlier, so while the events were still fresh, Daisy quickly scuttled over to them.

“Hey—uh, that was pretty cool. Standing up to protestors, I mean.” She began in a quick but polite tone, noting now that the snake fellow looked a bit more intimidating up close. She’d never met another mutant with physical mutations before, so she was a bit giddy. “I’m Daisy Bartolo.” She stuck her hand out and smiled, hoping that it wasn’t a poorly timed introduction, though, she didn’t really believe there was any poor time to introduce yourself to someone.

Still at the sidelines, Julain huffed and choked down the last bit of her sandwich, already feeling the hungry feeling in her gut dissipate, but not because of the food. No, protestors always seemed to leave behind a bitter taste that she’d never much liked. It was something about being so extremely against something that you don’t fully understand that she herself didn’t understand, nor care to try to. At least one good thing came of this whole mess though, she noted with slight delight, and that was finally finding the professor named Leopold. She still had his little ‘paper plane’ from earlier in her hand, folded neatly in half twice so that it fit comfortably in her palm.

It wouldn’t be a poor time to introduce herself, would it? She didn’t see what else she could be doing with her time, and attempting to find the man later, even if he was a walking feline, could prove more difficult than she was willing to handle.

“Excuse me, but you’re professor Oromake, correct?” Julian began after striding up to the other mutant, a very polite smile spread across her face. It’d be better to acquaint herself with a few professors before classes officially began, she thought for motivation, and continued on. “I found one of your class schedules.” She emphasized the word ‘found’ with an entertained smirk, recalling the paper planes decent into the side of her head. “If there are seats left in the course like this sheet says, I’d love to get bumped in.” she chirped enthusiastically.
Daisy sighed a bit as the crowds thickened the moment she stepped into them, now forming a much steadier current towards the doorway. She didn’t fight it, and simply shuffled along with her tail curled around her forearm, hoping still that chance would give her an opportunity to talk to someone. Low and behold, that chance was answered when a pair of hands unsteady clung onto her. The younger female quickly whipped around with a slight start. Mindful to take at least one, full breathe beforehand, Daisy quickly answered. “Oh, yes, I’m fine.” She chirped back, simply happy that someone was talking to her. “You’re... The Vise Headmistress. Miss Victoria, correct?” she smiled. She’d never expected to run into her, but now, what do you say to administration? Should she say something about being excited to learn here? I mean, that should already be obvious, maybe. What if she didn’t care to know, though? Thoughts badgered at Daisy mind for all of 2 minutes before loud voices near the front gates drew her ears forward, quite literally, in fact.

“Hm, is there some sort of event happening at the front gates also?” she gave Miss Victoria a questioning look, worried for a moment that maybe she’d missed something in the pamphlet, and then worried more that perhaps it wasn’t a part of orientation day.

~ ~ ~

Julian huffed, and quietly took another bit out of her sandwich. She’d nibbled down at least half of it in the time it took to walk over to the orientation auditorium, and then just like that, people began to leave. She knew she was late, but she didn’t think she was that late, not that it mattered much to question it now. It’s not like orientation ever actually included anything important anyway, she thought briefly, and turned away from the buildings doors just as it began spurting out people. Now was the fun part of the day: socializing. Her eyes glanced over students as they meandered in random directions, some for lunch and others to their dorms, or simply to just explore.

“I could go back and meet my roommates, maybe.” She mumbled through another bite of her sandwich, but her thoughts were momentarily interrupted by shouts at the front gate. Tour groups? Angry parents? The pink haired girl twisted her head in an attempt to see, and actually frowned at the site—protestors. Of course, even this safe haven couldn’t hide from scrutiny that the rest of the world’s mutants received. She could see why such a large collection of non-humans might make others nervous, but she still believed that what they wanted for mutants was wrong.

She hadn’t even realized her feet had carried her a few yards closer to the entrance until one of the professors was there, settling the matter before it could escalate any further. She was almost thankful for it. She didn’t want there to be violence and discrimination here, at least not while she was attending. She’d received plenty of enough of that while living on her own.
Might take me a bit longer to get my sheets up now, because my computer decided to be an asshat and delete them..
@Arista

It's good to know we haven't been abandoned, pff. I don't mind waiting any though. I understand how busy life can get; no rush.
Ah, sorry it took me so long for my first post guys. I kinda fell asleep half way through it last night, pf.
It had barely been ten minutes after the initial freshmen orientation and already the building was teaming with excitement. Mutants began collecting into smaller groups, some introducing themselves, others sharing abilities and stories. Some even made grand entrances, like that punk girl with the bat, or the now unconscious boy near the entrance. The whole thing had Daisy just as bundled full of energy, her lips curled into an almost permanent smile. She stood off towards one of the far walls of the building, her tail in her hands while she listened contently to the others around her—her keen ears picked up and jumped from conversation to conversation, but she made no move to join any herself.

She’s only just finished unpacking her things into her dorm room maybe an hour ago, and was adamant about not being late to orientation, because she really wanted to meet other mutants. Right now, though, she didn’t know who to approach first, and the longer she thought about it, the more hesitant she felt. Was there even any guarantee that other mutants would be more open minded than normal people? She’s always thought so, in that naive sort of way that only someone who’d never met another mutant could sum up, but after seeing so many others like her, sitting in one room, she realized that it might not turn out that easy for her. Her hands gripped her tail a bit tighter, as to keep it off the ground and away from people’s feet, and after a quick breathe of air, she sauntered into the crowds. If all else fails, simply leave it to chance, she thought with raw confidence.

You’d think that with her academic record being so shiny, she’d have been a bit more responsible when it came to organizing her schedule—this wasn’t the case for Julian, however, who’d only just arrived onto campus. She was dressed casually, with a large knapsack wrapped around her shoulders and a freshly made sandwich between her palms. She took one, giant bite and suddenly, showing up late felt all the more worth it. She made a small sound of contentment as she neared the auditorium, where orientation was supposed to be taking place without her. Maybe ten or so yards from the entrance, which seemed to be pooling with people already, something sharp nipped at the side of her head. It didn’t hurt, really, it couldn’t have, but she still felt the light object ram into her ear.

“A paper plane?” she questioned allowed before bending down to pick the folded piece of paper up, less the wind take it back again. So far, this was as exciting as the school had gotten for her, so with a small smirk, the pink haired girl quickly began to pull at the wings of the plane. It didn’t take her long to carefully unfold the neat origami, and was somewhat disappointed to find someone’s teaching schedule.

“Leopold Oromake” she said the name allowed, simply because she thought it’d be fun to say. It was, she noted with a small but content smile. Her head poked up and scanned the area a bit, now plagued with the question of who was Mr. Oromake? Her feet continued on their way to the auditorium, a bit faster paced now that she actually noted the amount of liveliness wafting through the wide open doors. The piece of paper was still in her hand, gripped lightly so that she wouldn’t wrinkle it. If she was lucky, she’d run into someone who was a part of the man’s class. There appeared to be seats left, so if she needed to, she could easily join the course a bit late.
Calling dibs on strong man and a clown, if that's alright. Should have my sheets up sometime tonight, ya.
@Dark Eternity

I'll be sure not to over-play her abilities any, if that's what worries you or anyone else. I know its shitty when abilities like hers are abused.
@Dark Eternity

Yeah, I guess it is a bit like Emma Frost, but it isn't as perfect as diamond skin (there is a limit to how much damage she can take before she begins to feel it) and she lacks the telepathic abilities that Emma had. She's basically just a very sturdy skinned person.

She is susceptible to all mental attacks and poisons (if she inhales/eats them, etc), and she doesn't have any sort of super strength or insane fighting ability; she's only as physically strong as your average athletic 19-year-old, so she could easily be overpowered by someone larger than her. All she really has going for her is a strong defense.
Is there room for a couple more characters in this? Cause I'd love to get in on this while it's fresh.

Name: Daisy “Daze” Bartolo
Alias: Roadkill
Age: 20
Gender: Female
((Sexuality: Bisexual ))

Appearance:


Powers:
Daisy was born with several opossum-like traits, such as ears, fangs, large dilated black eyes, and a long, fully functional tail, which can lift and grasp things. Her hands and feet are somewhat similar to an opossum as well, with non-retractable claws and opposable thumbs on each of her feet, which supply her better balance and grip.

Also like an opossum, Daisy is able to see well in low lighting, has heightened hearing/smell, and is immune to rattlesnake, copperhead, and cottonmouth venom, and resistant to many other types of poison. As a bonus, she is surprisingly flexible and nimble, which is mostly due to her small stature.

And, of course, she is also able to “play dead”, like an opossum does. It is involuntary as well, meaning that she’ll play dead any time she’s startled/scared, almost like fainting. She’s pretty vulnerable in this state, as it can last between one to four hours, depending on how startled she is.

She’s taken a few kick boxing classes and is pretty decent when it comes to simple self-defense. She has also done a bit of mental training to help her control the impulse to play dead when she’s startled—mostly through breathing techniques and practice handling jump scares and stressful situations. She can usually feel when her body wants to play dead, and if she calms herself down enough beforehand, then it won’t happen.

Bio:
Daisy was born in Connecticut, to a single mother in a very large but close niche family. Despite her deformities, Daisy was always loved by her family and raised to be proud and happy for being different. Thanks to the strong support at home, Daisy managed to attend public school without too much trouble, dodging bullies where she could, and ignoring others when she couldn’t. It wasn’t until around her senior year of high school that her parents pressed for her to take a few self-defense classes, worrying about her safety as an adult mutant.

After graduating high school, Daisy decided that her next step would be to attend college, and she spent about a couple of years working towards that goal. With the help of her family and two full-time jobs, she actually managed to scrape just enough together to attend the Grind, which had always been her dream school. Her goal is to go into physical therapy, and she has a deep passion for dance and music that she wants to somehow bring into play. What she is most excited for, however, is the chance to meet other mutants.

Name: Julian “Jules” Rockwell
Alias: Wrecking Ball
Age: 19
Gender: Female
((Sexuality: Homosexual ))

Appearance:


Powers:
Invulnerability. Essentially, Jules is invulnerable and near indestructible against any sort of physical attack on her body. Got a gun? Good luck. Flamethrower? Not a sweat (ha). She is even immune to most types of radiation and high-impact attacks. Because she cannot be physically damaged (easily) she usually doesn’t feel pain. Her mutation does not affect her physical strength, so she is only as strong as she works to be.

She has taken a few basic self-defense classes and somewhat knows how to handle herself. Because of her mutation though, she tends to make reckless decisions in believe that she cannot be harmed. It’s usually true, but can sometimes get her into even messier situations.

Weaknesses: Mental attacks or illusion, as well as anything that might cut off oxygen to her system. Certain air-born poisons might also slow her down, but for only as long as it takes for her body to metabolize them. Her mutation, for some reason, is accompanied by a very fast metabolism, so she requires a lot more nutrients and protein than the average person.

Right now, if too much pressure placed on her body, say from being crushed or attacked continuously for long periods of time, she will begin to feel it and take damage. It’s usually only minimal, such as a bruise or a light sprain in place of what should have been shattered bones, but with her reckless behavior, the damage can easily pile up. This can also be improved upon with practice and endurance training, which she plans to work on.

Bio: Jules was the youngest of four in a well-known politician’s family living in a nicer part of New York. Most of her childhood was spent with maids or nannies, and very little of it with her actual parents, making her relationship with them shallow at best. Despite not always seeing eye to eye with them, she did her best to stay out of trouble and did well in both academics and family matters.

About a month after her 16th birthday, their house was broken into by burglars, which resulted in the whole family being held at gunpoint. It was only a small slip up that caused it, really. The burglars obviously weren’t really in it to hurt anybody, but one Jules’ mother was panicking and they just didn’t have a steady trigger finger. In the end, one of the men directed his gun towards Jules, and her mother moved in the way of the shot, which should have gone through both of them. The burglars didn’t stick around long enough after to realize exactly who had died, but Jules’ family did. Her father was the most at odds with it, shocked at his wife’s useless sacrifice, and angry at his daughter for surviving and being a mutant.

After the incident, things mostly went back to normal, except for the increase in distance that seemed to place itself between Jules and her family. Her father especially became colder towards her, even going as far as to exclude her from publicity events that he otherwise brought her siblings to. Eventually, events all boiled up to her being asked to move out after high school graduation. With just a few bags and a checking account with about $10,000 in savings, Jules’ father essentially said “see ya” and cut all ties to her.

About a year later, after adjusting to a small apartment and a part time job, Jules began to think about attending college. She’d always been smart, and easily earned herself a nice sized scholarship to the Grind. Her current goal is law, but eventually, she wants to enter into politics. She holds a faint grudge against her father, but has otherwise moved on and tries to forget about her previous life.
