Henry chuckled at Valjean, shaking his head. "It sure it good this wasn't a real fight then." he said, smiling to Valjean's retreating form. He shook his head when Vespera spoke up. Of course, she would have to add her two cents. "Vespera, you and I both know you wouldn't be here if you weren't getting a kick out of it. And no, I wouldn't expect you to stop it. I know you well enough to say you'd probably do the exact opposite and join in just to make my job more difficult." Henry said, crossing his arms and waggling his eye ridges, and smiling. He had her there, and she would know it. Of course, the high ground that he had just established was enough for him, and her returned his attention to Chris. "Yeah, that's Valjean. He's a prick, but he can take a few punches, maybe dis out a few back. I don't like him, but I can respect him... as a rival." He said, looking over to Vera. "Sorry you had to see that Vee, and for nearly running you down. And you as well as you, Sam," he said, pausing and shaking his head as Sam asked him not to make a fine meal out of himself. "-Can just refer to me as Henry or Dragonfly. Don't worry about me eating you. You're too bony."
He looked over to Theresa and Dana, and happily took the slug to the arm. "Ow!" he said at the minor pain, and then brought the back of his hand up to his head. "Everyone saves the princess, but who will save the dragon from being bullied?" He said, before moving over to grab Dana's wheelchair, taking his coat and slinging it over his shoulder, as it was pretty hot out, and reptile or not, he could still overheat. Black coats be damned. "Sorry Theresa, duty called." He wanted to make a bathroom joke, but he was never one for potty humor. He had shared a similar outlook to Dana's on the whole superman thing, and he had seen them get out of hand before. Ever since Valjean came around he became a repetitive offender, which was... characteristic of him. He wouldn't be Valjean if he didn't do it. Plus, he kept things interesting. Now that he was one of the people that broke up the fights, a new experience was his to observe. Onlooking was boring, but being part of the action was a lot more... enjoyable. He guessed it was kinda like golf. All serious if you're a player but sleep fodder if you're watching. Oh well. "Yeah Vee, where is Ethan? Is he already at the admin building?" He questioned, looking over to his friend. "Speaking of which, we should probably be heading down there now. Anyone's welcome to tag along." he said, glancing to Vera and Sam.

MONDAY! MONDAY! MONDAY! THE ULTIMATE METAHUMAN SMACKDOWN! HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD VALJEAN THE MACHINE VERSUS CHALLENGER SAM THE RENEGADE CLARKE! BE THERE! BE THERE! BE THERE!
Henry watched his friend finish, before standing up and grabbing Dana's wheelchair. "The Henry Express is now leaving the station. Destination, Admin Building." He said. He knew it wasn't really funny, but oh well. He had heard Valjean loudly exit the building a few moments earlier, followed by others. So he thought it was high time to do that himself, and make sure his friends got their safe as well. He knew Dana and Theresa could get their on their own, but Chris couldn't, plus, he wanted to hang out with his friends! He hadn't gotten to see them in a while. He had a few Vietnam-esque flashbacks of papers with bad grades and physically cringed. Who Just copied a wikipedia site and turned it in as a research paper, blue links and all?
As he stepped outside, he heard commotion. Normally he wouldn't mind it, but when he glanced over in the direction, he saw things escalating quickly. "Wait, guys, stay here." Henry said, halting his movements and releasing Dana's chair, making sure she didn't roll anywhere of course. He calmly removed his suit's coat, as to not mess it up in case anything went wrong, and set it on the bar of Dana's chair. "I'll be right back." He said, before walking towards the commotion. He allowed his large inner toe to unsheathe his large sickle claw, and tapped it to get a message across to Vespera that said 'Out of the way.' She knew full well that he did that when pissed off. He saw Valjean activate his powers and knew he had to act fast. He grabbed the man from behind by his shirt, and pulled him away, lifting him off the ground with one arm. Henry grunted in brief exhortation, as Valjean was a larger man, but he wouldn't show any more weakness. He also reached over and grabbed Sam by the front of his shirt, lifting him up as well, this time without a grunt. "I heard someone say Ugly, so I came." He hissed. He cocked his head and looked Valjean over. "Valjean, I was sure that you of all people would've known that fights can only be conducted inside the arena if both parties agree..." Henry said, his tail moving rapidly in an agitated manner. "Using your power to instigate a fight outside of the legality in the arena is strictly forbidden. Doing so would result in me subduing you using my own powers, for safety's sake." Henry said nonchalantly. "So, what that means, is now that I'm a teacher, I can kick your ass outside of class if I deem it necessary. You learned in the arena last time acid goes well through carapace." the great reptile growled, squeezing Valjean's shirt tighter.
The lizard then turned his head to Sam, and looked the man over. "I'll let you off with a warning this time, since I've never seen you before and you're probably new." Henry began. "If you get into a fight, if doesn't matter who started it. It matters if you threw a punch or not. Most of the teachers aren't going to be as forgiving." He said, before setting Sam down and turning back to Valjean. "So, I'm going to set you down, and you're going to back off." the reptile said, his pupils slowly expanding from a slit to a wider a more circular shape. He set the man down, and cracked his knuckles. He looked over his shoulder at Vespera. "Vespera, love, I understand you love to see people do this, but lets shy away from the new kids for a little bit, m'kay?" He said, trying to come off as causal, but also do-as-I-say-or-so-help-me-god . He enjoyed calling her 'love' just to mess with her, and so far it had worked. "Why don't you all go to Administrative Building to see what room and room mates you'll have, do something productive for a change." He said, glancing over to Valjean. "And so I can make sure you cool down for a little bit." He looked past Sam to Vera, and smiled. "Vera, why dont you introduce me to your friend. I'm sure he wont bother listening to me." He said, raising an eye ridge and smiling. He hadnt spoken to Vera much, but the girl was nice enough, and had been going to the island for a long time, plus they were in the same age group, so they had probably shared a drink or two at some point, as friends of course.

Oh, yo. Right, about the posting thing. I was totally spacing out. I'll group 'em together from now on.As for returning students and their relationships.... Are we gonna just hash it out right here, or should we take it to PMs with whom it may concern?
That's up to you. I made a list fthe returning students a few pages ago. Chris and Henry are bros after a PM conversation between me and Inferno. If you have any special plans that you dont want spoiled take it to the PM's, but otherwise it's up to you.
Alrighty, time to remind everyone I'm a co-GM.
Goat God, unfortunately I have to decline your character. I will give some reasons why.
We'll start off from the bottom and go down.
First off, size. Your character is unrealistically large for a fifteen year old. 95% of fifteen year olds, while they can be tall, are not 173lbs. To give a perspective, I'm in my mid teens (older than 15), and I weigh 151lbs. I'm not a tall guy either, but I am dense. Most people my size are about 120-130. You also go into about no detail in terms of physical appearance (I have no idea what he really looks like other than the blanket terms you've given us). Your attire is a bit lacking as well, although that's not THAT important. You completely lack a personality description (I know it's optional, but it is strongly recommended), and the power section looks like something I'd cast magic missile at.
My brotha HWWB and I talked it over as well. I'll place what he said about the power here:
"His power also needs to be expounded upon: it says he can both create shadows and also that he's not capable of creating shadows. His power seems to be something of a blank check: we're not clear on what the parameters of his ability really are, and some of it seems somewhat open to interpretation (for example, being able to control the beings within the darkness, of which we know little. His weaknesses, given his powerful and versatile abilities (teleportation, blinding his enemies, creating shields, weaponizing darkness) seem somewhat lackluster: his weaknesses should be proportionate to his strengths. What does being in sync with the darkness entail? How does the darkness corrupt him, is it sentient? Having a weakness but saying that his shadows can overpower light is somewhat confusing as well, because it doesn't seem like much of a weakness. With a power as strong as his, he should need some more severe drawbacks: fatigue and exhaustion are some pretty common go-tos for powers, but you can be more creative. Given his white eyes, perhaps he has a rather severe vision impairment as a result of using his power? Regardless, it all needs to be fleshed out some more before we can accept it."
-He Who Walks Behind
I would also like to add to the fact this roleplay is interaction driven, and your character doesn't seem like the type to want to approach anyone, and those that he does he will creep out until they go away from fear of being stalked. This roleplay also will be focused on power training, and you have given nothing that could be interpreted as something he needs to practice. In essence, go into more detail in well... everything, and set the parameters up on the power a bit more. Go over what we pointed out a bit more, and we will reconsider. Hope we helped.

Dude Valjean seeme sketchy as hellll.
Why is Henry the emblem of the red ranger?
That's racist.
That's racist.
Henry sat down next to Dana when Chris walked away. He would have to fill them in on exactly what happened so many years ago. "Chris is an old friend of mine, we got along great. He's about a year older than I am, but we came to the island on the same boat." He began, scratching the scales on his chin in contemplation. His memory of that time was a bit foggy, but he was known for having good memory. He wouldn't live that down. "There was an accident at the shipwreck and a lot of people..." he said, making a motion with his hand to help Dana and Theresa fill in the blank. "He had caused it. I was in it too. He was put in the detention center, at least, that's what I was told, and I guess he escaped, or his ban was finally lifted. All I knew was he was still on the island. I never knew when he would come back."
He took a moment to look over at the old table where it seemed that Vespera and Lynn were having a pissing match. He signed. Vespera always did this with the new kids. It was annoying, but comical for an onlooker like himself. He would have to talk to her at some point and make sure she didn't challenge a new kid right off the bat again. They probably didn't know how to control their powers properly, and if they were very powerful, they could end up hurting Vespera and themselves, and potentially everyone onlooking depending on their capability. He didn't know what Lynn could do, and neither could Vespera. He returned his attention to his own table when Chris returned to answer his question. "Well," he began, contemplating and scratching his chin again. He noticed he had made a habit out of that. Always self aware. "Lets go through your status... Hm..." Henry began. "You're a returning student, you're in your early twenties, and you're male. If you would've come back last year, you would've probably been paired with me. But off the top of my head, the only person I can think off that's all of those things is Valjean Vaseal. If he ever annoys you, tell me and I'll kick his ass." Henry said, half joking, half serious. He suddenly had an idea for Dana and Theresa.
"Girls, most of the students here are paired with a person of their own age group. Theresa, since you're pretty young, you'll probably be paired with someone who's also your age. Same goes for you, Dana." He said, grinning. He did that a lot. "I'm not too familiar with the girls that arent around my age, so you girls know about as much as I do. Why dont we head down to the admin building and get your rooms, when you're done of course, Chris." the great lizard said, not wanting to leave his friend behind. He was friends with all the crips. "I'll wheel Dana this time so you can rest your arms, Theresa."
