Right. Just dropped the CS in the CS tab. Lmk whenever they're able to be posted in the IC since I know there'll be a bit of a wait until the ceremony.

@Kuro

Will do!

Is there anywhere we're supposed to put the House, by the way? Or is that reserved for the character banners? I figure to ask since there isn't a section on the sheet for it.

@Kuro

If you could just throw it under notes for now that would be great. But yeah, otherwise oversight on my part not to leave a space for House, and now, Team.

Might add a line under the Student Summary section moving forward.

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>

1) I'd presume at least a year given that they need to complete the Trials to be placed in a House, and the Trials only happen once a year. It's the only way she'd be in a House given that they were postponed this year (for now).

2) Kind of feeling Gulo? Or maybe Strigidae. Though if you think any other House is an option, it can be up for discussion.

3) Was thinking of going with Team 7 and naming it "Lucky Strikes" as a nickname (Lucky 7s, slot machines, gambling, etc.). Though it might step on the toes of Blackjack with the gambling theme. She probably thought there was painful irony in that she got placed on that team given circumstances. As for her team themselves, I imagine there was disinterest from her side of things. Probably a lot of boasting, bravado, machismo, etc. given the team name if we take Nice Guys as a team in consideration. She's certainly motivated, but it isn't a "I'm going to rub it in your face" type of motivation, if that makes any sense.

4) Yeah, just a regular transfer student.

@Kuro

All looks good to me. We can definitely place her in Gulo and Team 7 'Lucky Strikes' also works for me since it's in my vein of humour in naming these teams. Just wasn't sure if you'd want to have had her as a Collegiate student graduating into the University program or not. But only a year works fine!

▅ S T U D E N T S Y N O P S I S ▅ S T U D E N T S Y N O P S I S ▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ A resident of Sitka, Alaska, Suzie grew up in a decently-sized household with her parents and two older older brothers. Her family dealt in the commercial fishing industry, and as times were frequently tough for the Poots, Suzie often pulled double-duty between schoolwork and having to help on her family's boat whenever time allowed for it. Although fishery work tended to be harsh and sometimes fishy, Suzie didn't mind it where others might've. Instead, Suzie welcomed it, in particularly because the boat allowed her to see whales, orcas and other creatures up close and in-person. You'd be hard pressed to find something more beautiful than a giant whale leaping from the ocean, Suzie would tell you. Sadly, this meager yet idyllic life Suzie came to enjoy would come to be wiped out from existence as she grew older. The incident had been as swift as it was unexpected, and it irrevocably changed Suzie's future for better and worse. As the Poots carried out their day's fishing, a sudden freak storm riled up the ocean. The family desperately tried to return to port, but they could not fight the tide, and the boat sunk with all hands. By all means, Suzie should've died that day, yet somehow she survived. It was a miracle to even be rescued, especially considering her saviors weren't human. She had woken up on a beach, bruised, battered and hacking out water from her lungs. In front of her, in the water, two orcas, watching her with interest. "Hey, Frank, why did you suggest we save her? We could've ate like kings back there! All their catch is going to be gone by the time we get back." "Shut up, Martin. All you think about is food. Besides, she did call out to us for help." The orca turned to Suzie. "Hey, human! You alive over there?" Suzie couldn't believe her eyes, much less her ears. She kicked backwards, scooting across the beach in fear. She had a billion questions that needing answering, like where was her family. Did they survive? Suzie didn't know. But there was one thing Suzie knew for certain: Orcas didn't talk. She probably just hit her head during the sinking, and that's why they were talking to her. "Hello, human? We're not going to eat you, if that's what you're worried about." "Frank, she can't hear us. You're wasting your time." Martin seemed to get the idea. Fighting against the overwhelming shock and pain her body felt, Suzie stumbled to her feet and turned her back on the two orcas. She needed to find help. A doctor. The Coast Guard. Someone. "I told you." "Shut up, Martin." From what Suzie remembers, she didn't make it exactly far that day, collapsing on the side of a road. The next thing she knew was that she was in a hospital, with an arm and a leg in a cast. "What's with that Lightyear guy? His name is Buzz, but he doesn't even buzz around like us bugs!" "Sara, why do the humans say 'the early bird gets the worm'?" "Thomas doesn't even know how good I have it. All I have to do is act like a good dog, pretending to comfort them, and in return the humans give me food and pets! I'm fucking brilliant!" Okay, she was going insane. There was absolutely no rational answer that explained why Suzie was hearing animals speak. Birds, dogs, even the fly on the wall. She could understand them all. In a desperate bid to make the voices stop, Suzie brought it up to her doctors. They figured it must've been a side effect that had been brought on from the traumatic experience she had experienced and the pain of losing her family, and planned on giving her medication in hopes it would alleviate the issue. But one doctor thought otherwise. Rather than prescribe a number of drugs, he reached out to an old contact-turned-H.I.T. agent. With the agent's guidance, Suzie came to learn a few things about herself. A) She wasn't crazy, and was actually hearing voices, and B) She had the hype-gene, and was a hyperhuman. Knowing Suzie had nowhere to go once she was out of the hospital, the agent made the choice to offer her the decision to enroll in P.R.C.U.—a decision Suzie felt she needed to accept for numerous reasons personal to her. ▅ A B I L I T I E S, L I M I T A T I O N S, & W E A K N E S S E S ▅ A B I L I T I E S, L I M I T A T I O N S, & W E A K N E S S E S ▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ H Y P E R H U M A N A B I L I T Y || Z O O L I N G U A L I S M __PRIMARY CLASSIFICATION || E S O T E R I C __SECONDARY CLASSIFICATION || P S I O N I C In the simplest context, Suzie can speak to and understand animals. Whereas others would hear growls, barks or other animalistic noises, Suzie can make sense and words out of them. L I M I T A T I O N S || R E A C H Suzie's ability functions like a conversation between humans would. Too many people speaking at one time causes wires to get crossed, and some things get lost in the mix. She can only focus on one animal at a time, anything more and sentences turn fuzzy or sometimes outright unintelligible. W E A K N E S S E S || C O N T R O L Her hyperhuman power is simply what it says on the tin. While she can understand animals, it doesn't offer any direct control over them. They still have their own mind, and remain just as capable of reacting to anything she says or her presence in general. If Suzie wants something out of them, then she'd have to figure out how to convince them to help her like she was talking to a person. ________________________________________________________________________________________

"Are you really asking me that question? You guys already know everything about me. Hell, you probably even know what I got for my 10th birthday or what I had for lunch on November 7th, 2019. Figure it out yourself."

What wakes Suzie up at night is an obvious answer. It's always that day. The day when she watched her family drown, unable to do anything to help them. The nightmare is always underwater, in a pitch black sea. She tries to swim to her family, but the closer she gets the farther she feels they are.

_{A D I S H E V E L E D S T R A N G E R A P P R O A C H E S Y O U A S K I N G F O R H E L P, H O W D O Y O U R E S P O N D?}

"Oh, I don't know... maybe I'll give him a dollar or something. Actually, no. Probably just an apology that I can't help. As much as I'd like to, my family never had much to give."

Suzie feels bad for the world. She knows it sucks, and growing up Suzie is more than aware that hard times can happen to anyone. But it is that same knowledge that makes her hesitant to extend a hand to strangers. If Suzie has next-to-nothing to give and gives it away, then nothing changes save for the roles being swapped.

_{A N I N T R U D E R A L A R M H A S B E E N S E T O F F O N C A M P U S, H O W D O Y O U R E A C T?}

"We're on an island. Not only that, but an island in the Pacific Northwest. Who in God's name is going to waste their time getting over here to cause the alarm to go off?"

Should an intruder scenario takes place, Suzie feels like she'd follow standard protocol, like all the emergency school drills she had done growing up. Worst case scenario, she has to hide for her own safety. But surely that wouldn't have to happen... right?

Bada-bang. Let me know if it works or anything needs changing or w/e, @Lord Wraith.

@Kuro

A couple of questions just because this will be an existing student transferring into the H.E.A.T. program, how long has she been attending P.R.C.U. for? What is her House? And if you feel so inclined, what was her previous Team and how did she get on with them?

EDIT: I'm also assuming this character is not being applied to fill the Student Representative Position on either Blackjack or Eclipse?

Noah and Zeb, specifically.

@Kuro

Noah is an animal shifter who has to have actually touched the animal in some capacity in order to sample the DNA to be able to shift into them. Particularly painful process, transformations are slow and leave him vulnerable. Can only transform into one animal at a time, no mixing or other shenanigans.

Zeb is a pretty standard Hydrokinetic. As an Exo-Elemental, he requires access to the element and thus can't create water but can pull it from the air in high moisture environments. Do however note, we already have a PC with similar powers in Ariel as well.

Pacific Royal Collegiate & University - [CLOSED]

Might think about it.

@Lord Wraith Is there a description of what the NPC powers do so no one steps on any toes? I know they have a name in the handbook but I'm taking specifics in case anyone makes a similar power.

@Kuro

Specificity varies from NPC to NPC depending on if the NPC is adapted from a PC I've run before. Was there an NPC in particular whose powers you wanted to know about?

ANNOUNCEMENT: _______________________________ Regarding secondary characters, if anyone who doesn't currently have one would like to put forth a sheet, I'd love to bring in some new characters after those already in the RP are sorted into their school houses. For these characters, they would be an existing PRCU student who has decided to transfer into the H.E.A.T. program and you'll be able to fill any available team spots post-Team Swap, including those empty on Team 18 - Eclipse. Additionally, if you wanted to play a graduate, I'm open to taking on player characters to fill the roles left vacant by Tad's abduction and Ryan's betrayal. If anyone has any questions about the character concepts available for the secondaries, don't hesitate to ask.
