HeartShine High- A School For Magical Girls

@Jaded

I'm really more worried about her punishment for doing that...

HeartShine High- A School For Magical Girls

Seeing that the girl didn't really take it personally, Yuki was beyond relieved. In fact, Melissa wasn't even bothered by it. That was a really good thing for her. Last thing she wanted was her roommate not liking her because of it. Though, considering what might come next, she'd have to worry about their dorm mates hating Melissa because of her loudness.

Yuki was about to set down the bag and hop onto hers but the bag was quickly taken away. She produced a small and beaten up amplifier. It was battery power because plug was busted. Yuki took it and held it in her hands. "This thing would need a constant flow of electricity because I doubt it can store some." She mused, turning the object side to side to analyze it more. She had rarely done this because she didn't really think that it was a good idea to use her powers when not in combat. Plasma/Lightning/Electricity can be particularly destructive.

"S'ppose I could try." The blonde said with a nod. She wasn't sure about the perfect team but she'll just go with it. She lowered the volume a little bit before electricity jumped from her fingers to the amplifier. It buzzed to life, waiting for someone to plug and instrument inside. "Could probably only keep it up for one some before I need to stop." Restraining the amount of electricity but still making an effort to push them forward was a great training for concentration at least.

Yuki grinned at the violet haired woman as she saw that she was pretty excited. She was about to reply when she was enveloped into a hug. Her entire body stiffened and she grit her teeth, willing every fiber in her body to not move in retaliation to such an unwelcome gesture. Thankfully, the girl had let go and Yuki let out her breath - one that she had been holding unconsciously.

"I can at least play the guitar a little bit." She said forcing a smile to appear on her face. Her heart was still beating fast and she could feel her blood thundering in her head. She took a few deep breaths to stay calm. "Heh, maybe she preferred something quieter. Don't worry I'm fi-" She cut herself off when the other woman hooked her arms with hers.

Since it was unexpected, more than the hug earlier, she couldn't contain a streak of electricity escaping her body, aiming to shock the girl off. It wouldn't hurt. It would probably just elicit a yelp and her jumping back but Yuki couldn't help but gasp in surprise with how little control she had right now.

"Oh shit, I'm so sorry." She said rather worryingly but she took a step back as if to keep some distance between them. She ran a hand through her hair, electricity now crackling around her but not hurting anyone. "I... I have a... uh, how would you call it - a condition? A phobia? Something like that and... Ah whatever, long story short, I hate being touched and sometimes, I shock people, literally. Just... sorry. The only thing that I ask of you is to not touch me as much as possible. I don't want to hurt you."

She shook her head and then grabbed hold of Melissa's luggage before gesturing her to follow. Taking a deep breath, she began to speak. "The room's pretty big. I guess that's because of you. You can have most of the space, I don't need much." She assured the girl. Apparently, she brushed off the earlier incident quickly. No good worrying about it now. At least she already told her. Finding a right time to tell it is so frustrating.

Yuki had one particular rule. Only one. To not be touched.

And Melissa managed to break that in their first meeting hahahaha. Looks like they'd have to talk about rules after.

HeartShine High- A School For Magical Girls

Yuki let her right hand hang on her necktie and the other in her slacks's pocket. "I think my father would disown me if I didn't come back." She jested before she started bouncing on her heels. A rather nervous chuckle escaped her lips as she said, "Yeah, no pressure right?" She was looking forward to leading her underclassmen - it was a usual for them, the fourth years. But she wasn't very sure that she'd do a particularly excellent job. A little anxiety that was normal for most people, really.

Rock music began to fill the air and the blonde female turned to look at the driveway. Three trucks came first and was followed by a limousine. Right. She had a pretty rich roommate didn't she? She rubbed the back of her head as she watched the girl exit along with an abundance of instruments being taken out of the trucks. She couldn't help but let out a small giggle. This girl wasn't shy in showing what she had, that was for sure. In fact, she remembered the last year was quite the same.

The sight of the drum kit made her heart fall just a little bit. That would be stored in the room with her. While she had not qualms with music, she was pretty sure that the drums would be really hard to put at the back of your mind when it does appear. Yuki would learn to live with it. She would have to really. She then looked at the headmistress who had wrinkled her nose in disapproval. She let out yet another laugh. "Oh come on, you gotta admit, she gives the school some energy. If it isn't for her, it won't be a fun first day."

Someone from the dorms yelled at her to shut up and Yuki turned her head to the source of the voice. She doesn't remember her. Perhaps it was because she obviously wanted to be left alone? The headmistress didn't seem to mind. Maybe she shared the same thought? Ha, that would be a little funny. She then sighed and then said, "And, I'm gonna help her unpack. Guess I'll see you later in the orientation Headmistress."

She bounded up to the violet haired girl, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Hey kid, I gotta admit - that's one way to make a great entrance. Need any help with carrying your stuff?" She then paused before letting go of her shoulder and then extended her hand. "I'm your new roommate. Yuki Asahiro, maybe you've heard of me? 'Cause I've most certainly heard of you Melissa."

Forgotten Heroes: Marvel's Underdogs

Garfield watched as Serenity tried to break some ice off them by trying to get them to talk. Unfortunately, none of them exactly wanted to speak up to respond. He wanted to try, but he his head was buzzing right now and he couldn't think straight. He lowered his head and was now staring at floor with his right hand covering his ear. He took multiple deep breaths. He was currently unaware of what was happening, but thankfully, nothing really did happen.

He then turned to look at the mass of flesh he had come to know as Howard. You could say that the guy wasn't exactly the prettiest sight. Garfield wasn't bothered by his appearance, but he was one of the few who didn't run away almost immediately at the horrid sight of Howard walking - trudging - into the room. He was like a walking nigthmare, to be perfectly honest and anyone would stay away if they didn't know better. Garfield knew better, though. Howard was a very nice... person. The mass of flesh was a great friend most of the time and he knew how to keep the mood relatively light. Garfield has been able to talk with him whenever Serenity was unavailable - though kept a relatively high amount of information undisclosed. Perhaps one day.

Garfield gave Howard a mere wave.

Serenity began to speak and he turned his full attention to her. Upon seeing the flyer, he tilted his head to the side. A... Haunted House? He expected this to be some sort of mission, but he guessed Serenity had her reasons. And indeed she did, it was for them to bond. Garfield didn't argue, perhaps it would be good for them all. He personally couldn't say much of anything but at least there would be more people to understand his odd circumstances just in case those who can handle it weren't present.

Umbra then asked, what of the others who didn't look like humans? Indeed, a lot of them looked more like monsters and could barely step outside before someone would glare at them. Actually, they were very limited. Serenity then told them what to do. Garfield assumed he would be the one who would also go to the Haunted House, considering the fact that he was human. "What time do we leave Serenity?" He figured at least showing some enthusiasm would please her. He wasn't too sure about the Haunted House place really - who knows what could happen when they accidentally do something they didn't mean to do because of fear?

Garfield pushed those thoughts back to his head. No need to worry about that. Hopefully.

HeartShine High- A School For Magical Girls

Another year in Heartshine was surely going to be exciting. She had a gut feeling that it would be a lot more fun now more than ever. It was her last year and she wanted to leave a legacy - well, aside from being the only one who was ever in a male's uniform within Heartshine that is. Hm, maybe breaking the record of most demons taken down within the year would suffice. Yeah, she bet that will.

One of the fun things of being a returning student was the fact that you could get back to school from summer early. She had arrived there a week before the first day and already got her room assignment. Sadly, it would seem that she has a new roommate. Well, considering that her previous one graduated last year, she should have expected it. Well, she'd just have to get to know her better. She looked at the paper that was given to her to show the room assignments. Melissa Smith - certainly a name not from her year. She has heard of her though, and does know what she looks like. Her power was mainly music, and it was fun to watch her train.

She had that habit - stopping with her own training to watch her underclassmen. It was more admiring their powers than assessing them, but she recently added that to the agenda as well. She was often reprimanded whenever she stopped for a long time, where it didn't even seem like a break anymore. Sometimes, it even ended up with her stopping while in a spar and end up tanking a hit she should have been able to dodge with ease. This also ends up with a disapproving look from her teacher. "Stop getting distracted. You'll kill yourself." They would often tell her. She knew they were right but it's not like she did it while on a real battlefield. She at least had common sense.

Seeing as the new students were arriving one by one, she headed down and to the main entrance. This was going to be the last batch of students she would see before she graduated... unless she came back as a teacher. It seemed right to do so but she promised her father that she would at least try for the military. A magical girl would be able to help a lot of people evacuate in times of war and whatnot. She supposed she would have to enter JSDF first. That would sate her father's wants.

"Hiya Prof!" She greeted with a big smile on her face. "Oh, my bad, Headmistress now right?" Yuki had always regarded her as a teacher because that was what she was for the majority of Yuki's stay here. She then chucked. "Doesn't really roll of the tongue, better get used to it huh?"

Yuki then gazed towards the incoming students, eyes shimmering with excitement as she did. She could see Professor Angel Heart, a real mouthful really, talking to another student. Valerie was it? The gravity girl. "I feel like it's going to be an exciting year Headmistress. I just hope it won't be too hard on you; it being your first year and all." She grinned at her but still kept a lookout for her roommate.

Chicken Leg

So here's what I have so far. I think I'm pretty much finished if he's okay.

Johnny

"Death comes to us all. Fortunately, Death's appointment with me has been delayed."

General Information

Name: Jonathan McCallen

Legend: Masked Vigilante

Species: Human

Gender: Male

Age: 40

Appearance: He stands at a height of 5'10". He seems to have a muscular athletic type of body thanks to training. No one knows what's beneath the mask, since it has been fused to his face and he has no way of removing it - even if he wished to - unless someone would pry it off and take off his skin while they're at it. However, he seems to be able to open the mask that is above his mouth, where he is able to eat. A voice emulator has been embedded into his throat. Underneath his clothing is a disturbing sight - flesh wrinkled and bruised, looks like it's decaying but it's really not.

Personality: Jonathan is one that you would call determined; evidenced when even if it has been years since he had seen the last clue for his find, he still never gave up. He has admirable conviction and would see everything through to the end. Though, this isn't to say that he doesn't get sidetracked. In fact, the main reason why he hasn't completed his mission is because he keeps on stopping to help other people. He is sympathetic towards people in need of help - especially when they're trying to find a missing person. He's always willing to help.

That isn't to say that he is not one without faults. A kind-hearted person isn't the type to survive in the post-apocalyptic world. Fortunately for Jonathan, he has survived thus far; thriving thanks to his mutations and whatnot. He has grown cautious, yes, but he still gives second chances to people he thinks deserve them. Another trait that isn't very common and also very dangerous to have in the currently world. He does have standards when it comes to giving out these second chances - and also, once you waste your second chance, you shouldn't expect Jonathan to ever treat you the same ever again.

However, one should note that Jonathan is extremely aware of the state and condition of the world. It's just that he wants to see the good in the world. He is actually pretty ruthless when it comes to those he finds as dangerous and often quite merciless. Jonathan is a realist and actually thinks of the chances of saving someone - if it is anywhere below five percent, he would probably not go. This kind-hearted nature stems from his own desire to not see anyone be separated from their families ever again.

Condition: Wasted

Recreational Knowledge

Likes:

• Chocolate
• Radiation
• Storms
• Animals
• Children

Dislikes:

• Robots that would attack him in sight
• Feral Zombies
• Bandits
• Sterile Environments
• Fast Currents

Hobbies:

• He seems to always look back at his journal when he has nothing better to do.
• When alone, he seems to dance alone - a ballroom dance whilst humming to himself in his robotic voice.
• He makes small little crosses and even sculptures of humans - his friends and family.

Strengths:

• He has military training from the time before the week of Hell. Knows parkour.
• Strives in radiated places. With the normal dose found nowadays, he seems to be stronger than average.
• Has what pretty much means a strong will; if anything, he just wouldn't talk.

Weaknesses:

• He isn't able to emote properly because he is mute and his voice emulator can only speak robotically and no one can see his face. Often leads to misunderstandings.
• He ceases to function without radiation. He has a dependence on it.
• He seems to always want to see the good in people; often giving them a second chance. This can lead to some unsavory circumstances. This does not apply to robots or bandits.

Theme Song:

Combat Ready

Weapon:

• Metal Pipe: It is a very durable metal pipe that doesn't seem to break no matter what it hits. It isn't very special aside from the beautiful red, black and white markings around it. Jonathan doesn't know why it is like that since he found it as that. Like him, it seems to strengthen the more concentrated the radiation is, so he found it very apt to keep it.

Powers:

• Radioactive Healing: A rather self explanatory power. His cells have mutated to the point of finding radioactivity as its main source of energy. Hence, they replicate quickly in the presence of radiation which helps with healing himself. The more concentrated the radiation, the faster he can heal. This also expels his need for food and, to some extent, water. He does prefer still eating and drinking. However, because of this, he becomes human once more, even a little weaker than average, if he is in a sterile environment that doesn't allow him to get any radiation. Prolonged absence of radiation has the possibility of weakening him to the point where he can't function. Food can give him energy but it is less effective than normal.
• Enhanced Strength: In the presence of radiation, he is able to let loose and strain his muscles so that he may be able to achieve above Olympic strength. This doesn't mean he can just punch someone unconscious just like that, unless it is a well placed strike, but it would at least hurt a lot more.

Techniques:

• Plumber Swing: Using the pipe on hand, he uses all of his enhanced strength to swing it. The resulting force would be enough to knock someone back a few feet.
• Sucker Punch: An underhanded method but not as bad as the original. He only means to attack a blindside when the opportunity presents itself.

Skills:

• Animals seem to like him and he can tame them rather easily. Despite this, he cannot tame an already aggressive animal as easily.
• Despite not having taste buds anymore, he is a really damn fine cook.
• Sign language
• Sculpting

Gear:

• Journal: He seems to keep this in his person at all times. It mostly has pictures of missing people and small self-made maps along with a few scribbles. It all seems for work.
• Voice Recorder: No one knows why he has it. But he does.

Level: One

The Story Behind the Man

Backstory:Jonathan was born before the Week of Hell - way before it. He led quite a happy life. It was a life of normalcy. He and his siblings studied hard and his parents worked even harder. Being the eldest, he took it upon himself to look out for his little sister and little brother in their studies and even doing some cooking every now and then. They were a happy little family whose children dreamed big - bigger than their parents, bigger than themselves, bigger than the world itself to them.

Jonathan wished to become a soldier - brave and strong. He wanted to become the protector of the people. He wanted to help them retain their freedom, blindly following the orders of those above him with the mindset that he is always helping his fellow citizens. He wanted his family to live in a peaceful world where they wouldn't have to worry about anything ever again. He passed. He succeeded. He was in the army. He found a girlfriend who became his wife as he became twenty three - a memorable year indeed.

James, the little brother, wished to become a scientist - smart and creative. He wanted to make the world easier for his family by creating machines to do work for them. He wanted to become the reason for his parents to be able to live an easy life - one without worries. He wanted his family to live like they were kings, a house filled with servants to their bidding. He passed. He succeeded. He created robots for his family - Roberto was the first.

Jamie, the little sister, wished to become a doctor - caring and kind. She wanted to always look after her family. From diseases to just degenerating health, she wanted to know all about them. She wanted to always be there for her family and always know what to do if something goes wrong. She wanted for them to live easily while she prepared precautions for their family so no one would perish before they were due. She passed. She succeeded. She became one of the leading doctors in the country.

Their life was immediately ruined as the Week of Hell began - the day of his twenty-fifth birthday. James and Jamie both worked for the government at that time, resulting in their immediate death - one by robotic arms and the other by zombie bites. Jonathan, however, survived. He went looking for his parents, and found that they had died peacefully in their sleep with a letter at a stand. It stated that they left something with Roberto for him to see for his birthday. Driven by the will to see what his family, the family he held so dear, had for him - he set off to find their old robot butler. He knew it would not be easy, not when the revolution started. With robots and zombies popping out left and right attacking him, it was certainly a challenge. But he persevered, going forth to find any sign of Roberto.

Jonathan's travels were all done with his wife, until five years after the initial outbreak. As they were travelling, they were taken by a band of bandits. As they left Jonathan to rot in a highly radiated place, they took his wife and did unspeakable things - ending with her death. Jonathan succumbed to the radiation and expected to die soon, to be with his family once more. However, he opened his eyes the next day, feeling a lot different. He managed to escape, though injured, he healed and left - leaving the bandits in shreds. With his newfound mutation, he continued on with only the promise of memories of his family to keep him going.

Ten years have passed since the last clue emerged and he couldn't find anything. He would often go around helping people which earned him his legend - his title. He settled in Pallet Town for a short while. He has been to this place numerous times and always only gave the bare minimum. He wasn't planning on staying for a long time after all. When he heard the radio talking about "The End", a mysterious city that has rumors surrounding it; he decided that it was high time he visited. It was better to have a destination than just lazing around correct? Even if it turned out to be fake, the life of luxury wasn't something he was looking for.

Ambitions/Goals: He wants to find his old robot butler, scrapped or alive. Roberto had a memoir of his family - something that was placed there as a surprise for him. Unfortunately, the Week of Hell began before he could retrieve it and Roberto got away. He made it his life's mission to find him. Unfortunately, Roberto's trail went cold around ten years ago so he's having little bit more trouble. "The End" sounds like a place where he can find some clues.

Along the way, he just helps other people.

Addiction/Mental Health: He doesn't seem to have anything in this section. Perhaps him signing to himself frequently can be counted as an extreme form of loneliness or insanity.

@Jaded

Heh, I'd think he would have to watch out for more than just Holy Water (if that still applies in this universe). Spells and the likes hurt just as much.

HeartShine High- A School For Magical Girls

Can you imagine?

A demon in the school for magical girls, training to become one of them - a hero. It, no, He was destined to become a force that would wreak havoc wherever he went; but he, pulled through because of friendship - a simple yet at the same time extremely complicated concept. Somewhere around 90% of the school sends him glares and whisper behind his back, because there was no way a demon could turn good if they were the embodiment of negativity as well. But he held his head up high and believed in himself, only needing the approval of that one magical girl from before.

Heh, I really like the demon idea thing. It opens up to some pretty amazing interactions.
